Chris is the founder of Actionable Books, which is all about picking out the key message and actionable points of both business and personal transformational books. The business has grown and adapted and now at its core is all about fostering better relationships at the workplace by helping leaders and their team create powerful conversations.
Our conversation is rich with many great take-outs and while we do seem to run of in tangents I think this only improves the depth of conversation. We discuss the importance of reading both at an individual level and business level, implementation and how to taking action from what you learn, and how to creating powerful conversations
“He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.” Confucius.

Summary
“I realised that I cannot do the same things over and over again, I’d get the same results.”
Benny Hsu pronounced ‘Shoe’ is a passionate individual who always had a dream that he’d live a somewhat remarkable life. Not one for working the regular 8 to 10 hour days and certainly not wanting to be confined to a cubical Benny kept dreaming about doing something more with his life, one that he could design. In this episode we discuss just how he has made this happen.
What I love about Benny’s story his is desire to find something that would work and his undeniable attitude which allowed him to keep exploring. After running an app company for a while he than went into shirt designs and it was in this business he found away to earn enough money to quit his job and really begin his entrepreneur life. He made $100,000 in the first five months in this business.

“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Benjamin Franklin
This book is a recipe for productivity. It will help you become more disciplined and focused in achieving all that you desire on your journey to living with greater passion and purpose.
The subtitle of the book gives you a good indication as to what you can expect and that is to learn how to dominate your day before breakfast. Throughout this book Jeff shares practices, tips and advice on how you can master your day, master your life and essentially become more effective in how you approach life.
The idea of dominating your day before breakfast is not a new one but is currently a little bit trendy. I feel it’s like the next meditation wave.
“The more you sweet in peace, the less you bleed in war.” Chinese Proverb
Get into some solid mooring routines and part of that includes getting up and get some exercise in.
This is a prime way to get the blood flowing, get your energy level up, get the brain working and in doing this you will feel better for it.
You will be in a greater position to tackle the day and you when it ends I can almost guarantee that you will finish the day with less challenge, with more achieved and a feeling of enlarged satisfaction.
Get into this habit- it can transform you life.
Enjoy this thought and let me know what your exercise routine looks like.

“You can buy success, you have to pay the rent everyday.” Kevin Clayson
Kevin Clayson describes himself as a pretty simple fellow yet when you listen to this episode you may think otherwise. He comes across with so much energy it is contagious. I found myself talking faster and pumped-up as if I just had 8 red bulls myself, which he jokingly says he had prior to this interview.
He reveals many great tips and tricks and certainly in our chat we uncover useful ideas and inspiration for all of us on our journey. We also discuss his book, FLIPing the Gratitude Switch, which is something he has worked on over the last few years. Speaking in front of many people sharing this information. The FLIP philosophy is awesome!
The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller
Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus. -Gary Keller
This is a must read and what I love about this book is that its purpose is very aligned with its key message and that is to focus on just one thing.
If you are like me you struggle to juggle the complexity of everything in life, from managing business and work to spending more time with friends and family.
For those entrepreneurial types out there you will surely be frustrated by the multitude of things you have to do on any given day and most likely struggle to handle the amount of projects or even ideas that you have.
With all the distractions in life that we face daily to handling all our goals and desires the biggest challenge is often then focus. To have focus!
“Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy.” Tony Robbins
Great and powerful beliefs have the ability to transform you life. You can create powerful beliefs and influence you beliefs however initial belief is only powerful enough to get your started to assist you in taking the first step.
Greater beliefs however are created through behaviours. By taking action and then committing consistently to those behaviours that you desire, you will transform your neural pathways more permanently.
Enjoy this thought! Peace, passion and purpose.
