We're going to introduce you to people who are living uncommonly. We're also going to give you some tools and strategies for building wealth and for pursuing an uncommon path that is uniquely right for you.

Speaker
Hello and welcome everybody to another episode of the uncommon wealth podcast where I'm your host, Philip Ramsey.
Eliminating Distractions to Achieve Goals
00:00:31
Speaker
And I'm Aaron Kramer. Thanks for tuning in. We've got a simple step for you now and eliminate your distractions. Eliminate your noise. Don't get caught up in the noise, the sound, everything like that. Stay focused is basically what this whole.
00:00:44
Speaker
This whole simple step is all about how do you know if you're off topic? How do you get distracted? What do you think? Give us your kind of brief, like overview of this topic quickly, Aaron. Yeah. So my, I guess I'm gonna use the analogy of what I steal from my pastor.
00:01:02
Speaker
He has like had these ear pods and you can put it on us where you can hear somewhat around you, but otherwise you are just focusing on what you're doing. So if someone's talking to you behind you, you can hear it, but otherwise it's like.
00:01:18
Speaker
Noise canceling. Something about the noise around you. Right. So to me, by doing that, it helps you stay focused on your path that you're trying to accomplish in life.
The Power of Focus and Commitment
00:01:28
Speaker
Yeah. And I think what we're talking about, because primarily we're financial advisors, right? We are planners to help people kind of figure out the future. And what does that mean? It means set a plan and execute the plan.
00:01:39
Speaker
And when things come out or like when things get hard, are you one of those people who are like, well, then that idea wasn't as good. Let's let's change and let's let's kind of go after a different new great idea. Or are you the person who's like, no, I made a plan. I'm going to execute the plan. That's what Aaron and I are saying. Like there is power in executing something that you've set out to do one for you like mentally. But also we've seen probably the most success of those people who are laser focused and get things done quickly. So yeah.
00:02:08
Speaker
I don't know how you want to say it other than that or how you apply it in your life. That's probably something you have to kind of work through. But the people who keep changing the goalpost or changing the direction of where they're going, I see end up just staying in one spot.
Consistency in Achieving Long-term Goals
00:02:23
Speaker
And it can be for years, friends, like 10 years. And there's always like this new idea. And so what we're saying is, how can you stay focused on the goals that you once thought were important?
00:02:36
Speaker
and really not come off of those until those are achieved. Once they are achieved, then you can say that wasn't the greatest goal because of this at the other. But I do think there is some great wisdom in putting those noise canceling headphones on and getting to your target. So that's our simple step. If your goals stay the same, you're not changing your goals, don't constantly change up your
00:03:00
Speaker
Way of getting there like you're like all this isn't working like or no, it's too scary guys I got like for instance if we're talking about the stock market if the markets having a little shaky time and Your goal is 20 years down the road. It is not time to get out of the market. It's like stay fast to the path Oh, yeah, stay in it's good. Yeah, that's good. I like it there
00:03:21
Speaker
I like it. Okay. So this is probably a lot of applications for all of our listeners that you're going to apply yourself or let us know. We'd love to hear that.
