5 Questions With Anthony Trucks
Personal Growth Magazine Asks Thought Leaders These 5 Questions…
1 – What are a couple of your most effective habits?
My most effective habits are the planned routines I start before I get started on any time block. The brain is a predictive tool and it likes efficiency. When I start a specific habit prior to working out, filming videos, writing emails, working with clients, etc. I perform at my best because I prime my system with proper refined and planned habits.
2 – How do you make your best decisions?
My best decisions are made in non-emotional moments. When emotion is high intelligence is low. I choose to commit myself to postponing decisions until I have a full grasp of mind in non-emotional moments. I also make decisions that my “gut” agrees with and I trust the choice. If it’s wrong, my gut learns a lesson and gets better at making decisions, and if I’m right my mind trusts my gut more and more over time so I can make faster decisions without fear and get back on track quicker than most when I make mistakes.
3 – How do you push through obstacles you face?
I always ask myself simple questions. “How do I want to experience the next moments of my life?” In the face of obstacles, the thing I must do usually doesn’t feel like the thing I want to do. So, I make a conscious choice to do what must be done to make the next moments of my life great. I also always ask myself, “What would the person who has the success I want in life do right now?” You’ll know the answer. Do that.
4 – What did you give up in order to reach your goals?
I gave up accepting the comfort zones that I could easily slide into when faced with big opportunities that demanded big responsibility and effort. I sacrificed my comfort zone. I also gave up fun now for better fun later. I could party when I was younger in a house party with cheap drinks and unmotivated company. Or I could give that up now to work for more and party in foreign countries, with educated company, drinking sophisticated drinks. I sacrificed fun now for classier fun later and longer.
5 – What is your favorite quote or saying and why?
There are two types of people in the world. Those that work and those that watch them at work. I don’t mind the audience. It tells me that Ill either be in the game of life or in the stands watching. I find joy in playing and being watched over watching. The only difference is the willingness to work for it.
