Are you isolating yourself from change? Keeping your life at its status quo?
If so, the quality of your life will gradually decline.
Take advantage of the assets, resources, and knowledge of your friends to help you evolve.

Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I’m Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let’s jump in!

Avoid the cost of not evolving from different perspectives…
Business
Adapt to changes or face extinction!
For example, self-service in financial technology work has improved dramatically. Traditional brokerage firms like Merrill Lynch needed to adapt or sell. They sold to Bank of America and the brand name is being phased out.
Cryptocurrency
Understand the concepts behind crypto on a conversational level so that you can assess business trends.
I disagree with those who say cryptocurrency and NFTs are just a fad. I believe that they are a part of Fintech that’s here to stay.
Fitness
If you want to avoid becoming shorter, keep on exercising to stay fit. As we get older, our joints become less flexible and bones become more brittle unless we exercise!
For several years I have been doing pilates, and lately, I found out that I'm taller than I used to be. It's also interesting to note that a man in his 60s whom I play pickleball with, still plays soccer for two hours a week with people in their 20s! He's still evolving!
Social Dynamics
I started reading more about racism and the impact that slavery had on social dynamics in our country after the death of George Floyd.
One book that I highly recommend is White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide, by Carol Anderson. You can find other titles in my bookstore.
