Summary

Your brain naturally seeks rewards, and that’s a wonderful thing. But it can also be hindering your results when you seek it unintentionally from some places.

0:00.0	You're listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brookestio episode number 441.
0:07.1	Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients, real problems, and real coaching.
0:15.8	And now your host, Master Coach Instructor Brookestio.
0:22.1	Hello my friends, oh my goodness.
0:25.5	I'm recording this on a Friday afternoon.
0:29.4	I have spent the last seven days doing what we call the grind in the best way.
0:40.7	And that's what I'm going to talk about today.
0:42.2	I'm going to talk about the pleasure of hard work, the pleasure of accomplishment, the pleasure of ambition.
0:49.9	I came to Corde-Alene to have a home on a lake for a while and to get out of the heat and to consider buying a place here.

1:49.7	And so that's what I've been doing.
1:51.7	And I'm sitting here after a pretty grueling, but in a good way grueling week.
1:59.7	And I feel filled with dopamine and pleasure and reward from having done that.
2:07.5	And I had such great conversations with people on my team and everyone else worked so hard to like watching everyone kind of grind with me.
2:18.9	Like, hope for some fire right now. Get ready.
2:21.9	And I tell the most that I'm coming in hot. So get ready. We're going to be doing a lot this week.
2:26.9	And they all rallied and I have such an amazing team that just like, I don't know. I just feel like they get stuff done so fast and work so hard.
