What does it mean to develop as a Person?
[0:54] It’s not enough to develop yourself. It’s also critical that you evolve. You have to evolve to another level because it’s the world of evolution that you either evolve or disappear.
[1:35] When talking about “devolve” or “evolve,” it means that in each passing moment, we are figuring out ways and means to go to another or higher level
[2:20] The first key to growing as a person or in your professional life is you have to evolve. You have to go to another high level.
What do you need to do to go to a Higher Level?
[4:09] For Ethan, his next level is to appear as often as possible because part of his calling is to inspire and encourage people to evolve to be the best version of themselves. He says that he needs to keep working on himself to evolve, to become better, and share what is working in his life share with people.
What is Expansion?
[10:13] Evolution is like going vertical while Expansion is going horizontal. The outer level of Expansion is about learning other skills. For example, in the sales and marketing space, you could learn how to manage projects or run events. Of course, you can’t be you can’t learn everything but find those other skill sets that would add value to you.
[11:30] The inner level of Expansion is what you consume. It’s what you are listening to, watching, or reading. You need to consume information that expands your mind.
Know your Worth and See Yourself Better
[12:02] Start figuring out what you need to do to expand who you are. And stop seeing yourself beyond, over, and above your job. Most people limit their identity to what they do and amuse propose to you that you’re much more than that.
[12:44] Part of evolving and expanding is for you to start seeing yourself as a better version of yourself. That means you should start seeing yourself differently.
Working in the World Differently
[13:54] Look at your job as just a title or just one of your roles in the world. You can always add a new role to your responsibilities. Then see yourself with unlimited potential and possibility. This enables you to exit to a higher level.
The Importance of Language and how it can affect your Personal Development
[14:24] Another key in evolution and Expansion is language. What is the language that you use? That language can either be physical or verbal. Remember that the language the words you use can trigger a chemical reaction in your system. And therefore, you need to start using a different language that uplifts and expands you and the people around you.
[15:46] One of the biggest ways you can use language is to think at two levels is to use big words that are uplifting and expansive.
Start Asking Creative Questions
[16:53] Think about the words that you use. There are people who use negative language, and such language will only bring them down. It also brings the people around them down. And it starts with the questions that you ask the questions you ask yourself, the questions you ask other people are going to influence your inner world and outer world.
