E127: Starting a New Book of Your Life, Not a Chapter with Dwight Heck

Dwight HeckDwight is the owner of Give A Heck Financial and the host of Give A Heck Podcast. His company’s mission is to empower you with financial education so that you can live a more purposeful life. They educate and teach you how to live life on purpose, not by accident. He started his corporate career as a computer consultant and found himself financially strapped all the time. Especially being a single parent, he was living from paycheck to paycheck, leaving himself in quiet desperation as he went to sleep at night and not knowing how to control his financial life. But all of that changed when he made a conscious decision to start a new story of his life, and not a chapter. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Starting a new story of your life, not a chapter of your life How to live life on purpose, not by accident Being present in the game Being mindful of how you say things to other people Working on yourself in order to lead Be a servant first before you become a leader. Episode Highlights: Starting a New Book of Your Life, Not a Chapter If you say you’re starting a new chapter, it means that the former chapter is right beside you, and you haven’t let go. So change that mindset into starting a new story of your life or a new book of your life because your subconscious mind picks up on it. An author doesn’t ask people to buy their new chapter, but to buy a new book. And the book could be a part of a series. It’s now a different journey on that same topic or the same person. It’s still you, but you’re a new book, with a new beginning. You have to do things to mentally disconnect from your past.

Your future is not indicative of your past. So what are you going to do to differentiate it? You don’t want to disrespect your past that happened. But it doesn’t have to be your anchor. How To Live Life On Purpose, Not By Accident When coaching clients, Dwight does a goal-setting appointment with them. He asks them some leading questions to make them feel more vulnerable in sharing their circumstances. Then in his succeeding appointments, one of the leading questions he asks if they slept any better from their last appointment. And the responses he usually gets from his clients are amazing. Dwight does numerous meetings to help them through the process of living their life on purpose, not by accident. Be Mindful of How You Say It It’s how you say it. Be able to come to the level of your clients and mimic their energy level. Be close to their energy level, enough that you can still pull things out of them, but not turn them away. Be Present in the Game You have to be there for yourself. Because no matter how much you’re coached, if you’re not into the game, like the coach of somebody saying, you know, get out there and play a ball, but make sure you’re into the game. That coach is going to coach you, but you have to be present in that game. Work on Yourself In Order to Lead Become a servant of others first before you become a leader. Work on yourself all the time and always be leveling up to be the healthiest, best version of yourself. You’ve got to have your act together.
