Create Your Legendary Lifestyle with Chad Cooper

Bulletproof Dental Practice Podcast Episode 48

Hosts: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak

Guest: Chad Cooper, LEGENDARY LIFESTYLE™ Coach

Key Takeaways:

  • People really want to move beyond happiness & material possession, and find FULFILLMENT. We don’t want work/life balance, we want work/life harmony.
  • The one great equalizer is we all get 168 hours in a week. We are all equal that way. How we use that time is what separates the amateurs from the professionals.
  • Creating space in your life and calendar is where your creativity comes alive. Creativity occurs within empty space.
  • Retirement should be doing what you want, on your own terms.
  • Learn and understand what your purpose is. It’s all about how you want to feel, not what you want to achieve or own.
    • To find your purpose sit down and write down 7-10 of your happiest memories. Write 1-2 paragraphs on each of those memories.
    • Add the emotions and feelings within each memory.
    • Go back and circle the emotion words within your writing. Those emotions are your purpose.
  • The greatest failure in the world is achieving everything you want and still being unfulfilled.
  • Once you’ve discovered your purpose, take those emotions and insert them into the activity you’re undertaking. That’s the way to find fulfillment in the things you do every day.
  • Burnout is prevalent with dentists. A lot of that is due to internal narratives.
  • We’ve all been trained to play small. We want to not be afraid of being human, of being normal.
  • If you’re doing something that’s draining your batteries,
  • 7 characteristics of yin and yang. When doing anything, consider these 7 questions. If what your doing answers most of these positively you’ll be much more fulfilled.
    • Is it serving a sense of mission?
    • Did you do it from a place of freedom?
    • Are you doing it with love?
    • Was there adventure involved?
    • When you do this, does it fill you up?
    • Does it create a sense of safety?
    • Does it allow you to speak your truth through love?
  • The two greatest factors for an extraordinary marriage are love and respect. Women desire love. Men want respect.
  • 4 quadrants of life – all four need to be address in order to be fulfilled.
    • Logical – brain
    • Emotional – heart
    • Physical – body
    • Spiritual – soul
