Rolando’s Life Before Achieving Life-Work Balance
Transcript
Sean : We first started working together, I guess, you know, three years ago before you’ve achieved this, you know, this work-life balance, what was life like?n
nRonaldo : Back then, it was tough. I wasn’t hitting the numbers that I wanted to accomplish. I wasn’t receiving the income that I wanted to receive, or that I felt like I could reach. And I was always, always, always, always at the dealership, I felt like that freedom wasn’t there. But it was always a constant struggle. And I was always finding a reason why I wasn’t reaching that point. And then within coaching and talking, things changed, slowly but surely.n
nSean : Well, youu2019ve definitely grown so much. And let’s talk more about that. When you’re thinking back, when you’re reflecting back to who you were back then, when you say, well, well, I want to talk about those reasons. What were those reasons you were finding? But what did you want more of back then? And what were some of your challenges that were bothering you? Okay,n
nRonaldo : So at that time, as I remember these points, when things started to shift in an upward trend, and the first thing was a mindset. I was looking for reasons why I wasn’t doing so well. This is the reason why I’m not doing well. And I’m making excuses as to why this is the reason why. And I’m making this excuse and then coming to find out these are all things that I can’t control. So with your coaching and allowing myself to also be coachable, because one thing you’re just telling me what, was helping me guide me through this. And the other thing is allowing myself to be able to absorb that information and do something about it. So allowing myself to be coachable and understanding those aspects that I was allowing to block me from being able to take those next steps that I needed to, once I realized those things I was able to move forward into the next stages to be able to get better and better. So I was definitely not allowing myself to do that at one point and I was creating excuses as to why I wasn’t reaching those points.nn
