Intake vs. Activate

We are firm believers in being well-informed. Whether it's a smaller decision like buying a refrigerator or a bigger decision like switching careers, the process of investigating, researching, and gathering information is critical to making the right choices. Heck, you wouldn’t be listening to this podcast if garnering insights to improve your life or your career wasn’t important to you. We love your love of learning.

Unfortunately, too many people get caught in the intake loop. They are what I would call an information hoarder, piling it up just in case but never actually doing anything with it.

In this episode, we’re going to share with you how to go from one who just takes information into one who produces and activates on it.

Here’s how to take the leap from Intake (learn) to Activate (output):

  • Decide on what it is you want to achieve and don’t be all wishy-washy about it

  • Use the 8% rule and take a small step

  • Remember the equation, discomfort = growth

  • Be the athlete. Isn’t it a more rewarding feeling to be in the game than just a spectator?  

  • Don’t do any more intake until you activate.
