Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact podcast. I'm Justin Sua, episode 1,8009.

Today we're talking about the quality of your process. And if you want quality results,

you need to start examining the quality of your processes. As a child, Steve Jobs was fascinated with electronics. He would grab household

items like radios and remote controls. He would take them apart, explored how they worked,

and then he would put them back together. Jobs' ability to deconstruct and then reconstruct

electronics ended up helping him learn how each component

interacted with one another. At the time, little did Steve Jobs realize that he was learning

a powerful key to success. He was learning that everything is made of systems. And before you can improve

something, you must understand how the system works. And the same is true for your performance,

for my performance, for any human performance. The first step to improving results is to examine

the system driving your outcomes. The effectiveness of one element of your system

doesn't guarantee success, but the failure of one element can derail everything. So I want to give you

some questions to reflect on to assess how your system is running. So question number one,

how is the quality of your sleep? Number two, how is the quality of

your nutrition? Number three, what's the quality like of how's the quality of where you're

spending your time? How's the quality of your key relationships? How's the quality of your thinking? How's the quality of your key relationships? How's the quality of your thinking?

How's the quality of your focus?

How's the quality of your training or your practice?

How's the quality of your attitude?

And finally, how's the quality of your stress response?

Maybe write those questions down and think about them throughout the week.

The quality of your system.
