Episode 1: Productivity For Well Being With Starr O'Hara
I am proud to present Starr O’Hara as my first guest on the Well Being Wednesday Show.
When I met Starr O’Hara, I was just done running my own mastermind for free that petered out, like all free groups eventually do (with no skin in the game) and looking to start up another mastermind with a little investment attached, even if it all got donated back as prizes to the most productive member of the quarter. Well, it was either the wrong time or just all the times I got sick over that year which got in the way of me doing anything about it. Nevertheless, Starr continued to marinade on the idea of goal setting and working toward her vision. What came from that was Extremists Being Awesome, a weekly, in person, on Zoom, productivity group that is getting shit done. Of course, as soon as she announced her BETA launch of EBA (Extremists Being Awesome), I and a few others saw the brilliance of the scheme and hopped right in.
We got to work on our projects.
I created from start to finish my first ever course called, The Find Your Tribe Workshop to which I also created all the marketing entirely on my own during my productivity sessions. I had a massive response and subsequent orders of the recordings! I have since made a giant house move, done loads of laundry, started a workout routine, made myself breakfast on a regular basis (this was hard because it’s easy for me to not feed myself food), written countless blog entries, started to teach myself painting (I’ll share my successes another time) and got myself set up for more studio work -all during the sessions. To say this group has paid for itself would be a MASSIVE understatement.
The most important part is how I FEEL!
As an artist and an entrepreneur, it’s hard to feel productive or accomplished, to feel a part of something greater than oneself even if that is the express intention, to feel a sense camaraderie or conversely, to not always feel like you are constantly having to justify your work to others. With a few short hours of focused labor, I feel employed with coworkers around to pat me on the back when I make gains which will affect all of our trajectories, and I have the tax, wait, no, THEFT records now as a result of my work in the group to prove it!
But where do you come in to this picture?
Well, Starr has created mini workshops if you aren’t sure if you are ready for the whole monthly production commitment. Her first one on Freedom Through Discipline is coming up the first week of April.
We are talking about that workshop, her book and the EBA productivity group and how all this equates to your well being today on my first ever Well Being Wednesday show.
Enjoy!
