[INTRODUCTION]

KC:  Welcome to The Business of Life podcast. My name is Keith Callahan. If it’s your first time, welcome here for the first time. If you’re coming back, good to have you back with us.

Today, I want to talk to you about internal versus external value systems. Internal versus external value systems. An internal value – actually, let’s start with external. External, we know better.

An external value system is the size of your house, the new car, the job promotion, the recognition from others, your clothes, your physical appearance, all these things, like these are external values.

Internal values is your spirituality, your connection with God, your self-esteem, your personal development, how you’re growing as a person, the amount that you actually like yourself, being honest, being disciplined, being true to your word. 

So internal versus external value systems. One of the most important decisions I ever made in my life was first of all, the understanding of internal versus external value systems. So I understood that. I got to understand the difference between the two. And then once I understood the difference between the internal and the external value system, to focus all my energies on building, here’s a really good word for the internal value system, building personal character, because the personal character, the internal value system, brings happiness that you’re not continually chasing.

When you’re working on continually improving yourself as a person, continually becoming more loving, more compassionate, more disciplined, more true to your word, more fortitude, it compounds and you have an ever-increasing sense of happiness. 

When you’re focused on an external value system, you get short little wins and then you need another and another and another. An external value system like if you want to get to a certain level of income, you want the next level of income. Once you get a certain house, you always have a desire for the next one. Once you get a certain car, you always have the desire for the next one. Once you have a certain clothes that you wear, you desire the next level.

So internal versus external value systems. And if you want to live a life that you can start building upon, that you cans tart having compounding happiness, compounding peace of mind that just stays with you, focus on your internal value system.

All right. That’s it. Have a beautiful, beautiful day. We’ll see you in the next episode.

[FINAL MESSAGE]

KC: Hey, Keith here, and today I have a free gift for you. Listen this free gift is a list of the 12 most influential books that I’ve ever read. These are the books that have helped me to create the mindset, learn the philosophies, learn the skills to really create this big, beautiful, life that we’re living now.

I read a crazy amount of books, I really do. I’ve probably read thousands of books and these are the top 12 books that – they’re the ones that I go to, they’re the ones that I work with over, and over, and over again. They are highlighted, outlined, dog-eared. And I put this list together for you because I want it to be a shortcut.

I don’t want you to have to – you don’t have to go out and read the thousands and thousands of books. These are the 12 that I highly recommend. I have a detailed review for each book, explaining why I recommend them, why I like them, when I worked with them in my life, what part of my life they helped me to improve.

So I put this together for you, and made it super each for you to get this list. All you have to do is send a text to the number 33444 and then in the body of that text, type in “12books” with no space. So that’s the number “12books”. Again, send the text message to the number, address it to 33444 and then type in “12books” as the message and just send that. And that’ll get you setup to receive those top 12 most influential books that have had the biggest impact on my life.

[SPONSOR MESSAGE]

KC: Today’s episode is brought to you by our sister podcast, All About Beachbody Coaching. So All About Beachbody Coaching really allows us to do this podcast without having all those annoying commercials in the beginning for you. So All About Beachbody Coaching, the Beachbody business that Amy and I run, actually funds this podcast.

So yes, it does cost money to run this podcast, we do not charge you anything, we don’t throw in commercials or anything like that, it really is, it’s funded by our business and by our other podcast, All About Beachbody Coaching. And for me, I’m just eternally grateful for this opportunity because it’s allowed me to really create the life that I love to live.

It’s given me the opportunity to do what I want, when I want, with who I want, and even deeper than that, it’s allowed me to help others to create the same for themselves. It’s allowed me to help hundreds of other people become part time or full time Beachbody coaches, to leave that corporate 9 to 5 job and create passive income in their lives.

And really there’s nothing like that. It’s cool when you have success, it’s so much more rewarding when you help others. So I mention this or a few reasons, the first reason is, that’s actually the way that I work with people and mentor people. I don’t do anything outside of Beachbody coaching because I know that it’s such a powerful life changing tool.

So if you’re curious about working with me, interested in working one-on-one, interested in creating the type of life that you wanna live, I suggest swinging over there. The other reason is, even if somebody’s just curious, like you’ve heard about Beachbody, you know there’s a lot of Beachbody coaches out there. Maybe some of them you get a little annoyed with.

It really dives into what this business is really about, which is life transformation. So if you’re just curious, swing over there. And then the other piece is, if you’re really considering becoming a Beachbody coach, I highly, highly recommend you listen to that first.

Alright, much love guys. Again, that is the All About Beachbody Coaching Podcast, our sister podcast.

ANNOUNCER: Thank you for listening to the Business of Life Podcast. Apply what you learned today and you’ll be one step closer to creating the life you love to live.
