The Four Agreements: A Guide to Living Your Best Life
In this Classic episode, Phil Di Bella talks about The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and how they can be applied to achieve personal growth.
Phil explains that the first agreement, being impeccable with your word, is all about integrity. He stresses the importance of speaking with integrity, saying only what you mean, and avoiding speaking against yourself or gossiping about others. Phil believes that being authentic is the key to having integrity.
The second agreement is not to take anything personally. Phil admits that this is an area he needs to work on as he tends to take things personally. He shares Don Miguel's idea that what others say and do is a projection of their own dream and reality, not yours. If you can distance yourself from other people's opinions and actions, you can avoid needless suffering.
The third agreement is not to make assumptions but to ask questions and communicate with others clearly. Phil believes that assumptions are the common denominator of failure and that seeking clarity can transform your life.
The fourth agreement is always to do your best, under any circumstance. Phil emphasizes the importance of doing your best with the resources you have and avoiding self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret. He shares his three-step question for self-checking: am I doing the best with the resources that I have at the time that it's happening?
In conclusion, the Four Agreements provide a framework for living a fulfilling and authentic life by prioritizing integrity, emotional distance, clarity, and self-acceptance. Listeners are encouraged to apply these agreements in their daily lives to improve their mindset and achieve their potential.

Entrepreneurship is a way of life and intelligence for me, not a title. Every project that I embark upon, my goal is to do it different or better than anyone else. It was this passion and entrepreneurial spirit that led me to start up my first business venture, a small coffee-roasting operation in the suburbs of Brisbane in 2002. I identified a gap in the coffee market. There was no local coffee company that successfully matched the quality of their products with excellent customer service and a strong brand, all at a reasonable price. This business grew from a start up to the largest of its kind in Australia before I sold it 12 years later. I strive to make my group of companies matter to customers. I want to ensure that I am relevant in the future am continually looking at innovative ways to do so. I am not limited by my available resources; I am continually looking to fill the void in the market to meet customer’s needs and solve problems. My mantra is ‘tomorrow better than today’. My goal is to continue building and improving and use our achievements to fuel our momentum and keep moving forward to bigger and better things. I never rest on the laurels of my success but continue to pursue new ventures through which to challenge myself, and seek opportunities to develop or share my skills. I continue to strive as a leader in my industry and as an entrepreneur, and am always challenging myself personally and professionally whilst ensuring to give back to community.
