Winning at Life with Navy SEAL Tactics: Slow, Smooth, Fast

Be Well, Do Well.

In today's episode of the Be Well, Do Well podcast, I dive into a fascinating concept borrowed from the world of Navy SEALs: "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast." Initially, it sounded counterintuitive to me—how could slowing down actually make us faster? Yet, as I unpack this wisdom, I'll show you how it's not just about the high-stakes world of elite soldiers but incredibly relevant to our lives as entrepreneurs and parents. Through personal anecdotes and practical applications, we explore the power of being methodical in our approach to both business challenges and the daily chaos of family life.

Juggling the demands of entrepreneurship and parenting is no small feat. I share a personal story from a snowy day in Edmonton, Canada, to illustrate the consequences of not embracing this mindset. The episode breaks down how adopting a "slow is smooth" approach to preparation can prevent mistakes and create efficiency in our hectic schedules. Whether it's setting priorities, preparing for the day, or ensuring quality family time, the principles of being deliberate and focused can lead to smoother actions and, ultimately, faster outcomes. Join me as we apply Navy SEAL wisdom to thrive in our personal and professional lives, remembering that by slowing down, we actually speed up in achieving our goals.
