Life & the Power of Your Mind

in #steempress6 years ago (edited)


One Bit News want to introduce our own mind-coach here in the magazine.


He will write for us on a monthly basis and share his wisdom of thought. Introducing to you, Everyday Coach:


Well first of all let me tell who I am, and then I’m going to tell you what I will be writing about for OBN.

I’m a man soon to be 40. So I’m born in 1978. I’m married with 2 children, to girls in the age of 21 and 15. I have an awesome wife that I have been married to for more than 15 years.

I started working and making my own money when I was 11. At the age of 15 in did my first investments on the stock market, starting with funds and going for single stocks after 3 years. Did I make some money? Yes! At that time I received plenty back on my investments... but spent most of it when after I turned 21😊

I started of with my first full time job at the age of 19. At that time I had just finished school and wanted to start earning some “big” money. My first job was actually as a Manager at a clothing store, we sold the Danish brand Jack & Jones. I had this job for about a year before I moved on. I wanted to earn more money. So I need to move to the big city, to the capital of Norway, Oslo. There I got a job in the telecom business. Selling telephones and computers B2B. This was a pretty good job, I won all the sales contests from the first month until I quit my job after 1 year. I did not like to live in Oslo, to big, too much people and to much fake personalities. I moved Back too my hometown, Fredrikstad and started on a new path. I got a job at CandyKing, as a District Account Manager. Futher on I changed occupation several times before I ended up in a bank I 2008. Here I started up as an Financial adviser, within a few years I had showed my capabilities and got the job as Bank Manager for a small branch with about 40 employees. Coaching them, in charge of insurance and loan advisers for the costumer service.

So there you have it, some info about my professional road to where I am today.

With all this changing occupations I have learned a lot about how different people work, about sales, about great minds, great sellers, How to lead, how to not be a leader. I have met different coaches, been inspired by a lot of people. And been working with a lot of great people.

The coaches I have worked with have been very educational and good for me to grow as a leader and of course as a person. My life motto is Carpe Diem And this is one motto that can have different meaning for you then for me, and neither is more wright then the other.

In the upcoming posts I will write about some of the books I have read, introduce you to some of the coaches I follow online. I hope you will join in and give comments and share your experiences with life and what I write about.

Most of what I write about when I will give advices, you will probably thing, I know this, this is nothing new. And then you are correct. This is normally called common sense. What I mean to say is that even if you know something it does not mean that you act on it. Or use it in your day to day life. Here is where this comes in. You need to act on what you know, be open to learn and be willing to learn and do what is needed. Don’t give up and see mistakes as a lesson, not a failure.

Looking forward to come out with the next issue, where I will start with an introduction of a Great coach that you would like to know and work with.

Hello !

I like your professional experience, when we spend our life in different sectors we learn a lot! I think 40 years old you are still young and you will still have a lot of time to aquire more experiences.

The most beautiful sentence I read in your article is : "see mistakes as a lesson, not as a failure"

I wish you good luck in the rest of your professional life is private and that happiness for your family.

Regards

Hi @Redouanemez, Nice of you to drop a comment:-) Yes I'm pretty young since I will turn 40 in December. And a guess life still has endless possibilities and opportunities, of course it will come some curve balls to teach me some lessons.
Thank you, and the best of wishes to you and your family also.

Hei @Marehalm
Er det noe spesielt du vil lese om? Jeg tar gjerne i mot tips for tema som kan inntressere deg!
Mvh @EveryDayCoachIMG_0199.PNG

Cool introduction! Reading the first lines about a young hussler doing what he can to get that extra money had me feeling I was there watching!

I think that even though most life lessons are imdeed common sense ideas, they still need constant reminding. This coming from so.eone who's writing this comment from the airport woth Jordan Peterson's "12 rules for life" on my lap as I just bought it in the bookstore😅. Will be looking forward to reading your monthly posts and engaging in the comments!

Hi @FredrikAa
We all need reminders of lessons we have learned. I had one conversation with a coach some years ago. We ended up with this comment "I live as long as I learn" Compared to the normal frase "I learn as long as I live"
The day I stop learning new stuff will be the day I have to surrender and lay flat on the ground(7 feet under)
I think that if people stopped using "Autopilot" for most of there days and start tacking notice of what happens with them self and their surroundings they might learn a thing or two that they would miss since their are to occupied with not been present.
I have not read "12 rules for life" yet, but this is one of the books on my list this winter.

Mind power is one amongst the strongest and most helpful powers you possess. This power consists of your thoughts. The thoughts that submit to your mind ar liable for everything that happens in your life. Your predominant thoughts influence your behavior and angle and management your actions and reactions.

Well said @Babai1995
I don't think most of us humans know how powerful our mind is. And when someone tells them how much power their mind has, they never believe it. I have read some strong story's that I would not believe if I did not know what I know today. If you want you can do great and extraordinary stuff using just your mind , both for yourself and your surroundings.
Have a great day

sincero por la imagen y lo que se de ajedrez el peón llega a ser una pieza tan clave al final de un juego de ajedrez en fin saludos desde acá de Venezuela

Bueno @Yonreulpiu.
Comparar la vida con un juego de ajedrez siempre es bueno. Tienes que pensar en cada paso que hagas, tanto ahora como en el futuro. El movimiento que hagas ahora tendrá un gran impacto para tus próximos movimientos en el juego.
Atentamente @EveryDayCoachIMG_0092.PNG

Looking forward to this @Everydaycoach
:)

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:

Futher on I changed occupation several times before I ended up in a bank I 2008.
It should be further instead of futher.

Your career is truly wonderful and inspirational with struggle, diligence and empathy. Certainly your wife is fortunate to have an ambitious husband like you and a perfect father for two girls inspired by your determination. Greetings to you and keep going at a confident pace.

Hi @Gagago
Thanks for reading and commenting.
It is nice to read that I can inspire you. I had a little cooking accident some days ago and have to much to do this days. I will start on my next post as soon as my mind is ready to work on this. I have learned that I need to keep focus on what is happening now and deal with that. Then set time to focus on next project.
Have a great day:-)
Best regards @EveryDayCoach
