AIE 134: Success Mindsets with Clint Murphy

Change of pace this week! Lauren interviewed Clint Murphy to
celebrate the 100th episode of his podcast, the Growth Guide. The
two discussed success mindsets and a bunch of other topics, since the two know each other very well from doing live Twitter Spaces weekly for an entire year. This episode is being posted on both feeds today. Huge congrats to Clint and the Growth Guide team on hitting this milestone, and thanks for including Adulting Is Easy in marking this milestone!

Lauren asked Clint about finding balance, which he admits
he’s still working on. Clint is big on goal setting, so the two discussed 5-year goals, and even changing your goals over time. A lot of hitting your goals involves building your “get sh*t done muscle.” How? He loves the tactic of streaks – or at least being “daily-ish.” Clint recommends slowing down and being present and has some great tips for getting into flow. He also talks about finding your passion and using your skills to make money, pursuing your passion on the side can be a totally OK answer! Then, Lauren and Clint transition to a discussion about learning, starting with empathy. Your learning can compound just as much as any investment. And speaking of investments, Lauren asked Clint
about some real estate investing “failures.” The Murphy family has had some setbacks, but they’ve more than risen above. They’ve taken some rough hits for a short time. “Failure is your stairway to success.” Clint recommends moving from content consumer to content creator. Being in the top 10% isn’t that difficult. Back to real estate investing, Clint mentions that you can’t become wealthy without leverage. He also outlines the “Kardashian effect,” which means comparing your current situation to someone’s best situation. Hint: don’t do that.
