Today on the podcast,\u00a0 I\u2019m sharing a proven method<br \/>\nthat works for me the CTFAR model and how it can change your<br \/>\nproblem solving process and get you better results. It\u2019s not a new<br \/>\nemethod and originally created by Brooke Castillo. It has worked<br \/>\nfor me in so many situations in my business and in my personal life<br \/>\n&#8211; it will work for you as well.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What is the CTFAR Model?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">C: Circumstances &#8211; What actually happened that was out<br \/>\nof our control\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">T: Thoughts &#8211; How we think about the circumstance<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">F: Feelings &#8211; How we feel because of the thoughts<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A: Actions &#8211; What we do (or don\u2019t do) in response to<br \/>\nour feelings\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">R: Results &#8211; What we get in the end<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The purpose of the CTFAR model is to reframe your<br \/>\nthinking to help you solve problems. By being aware of what is<br \/>\nhappening and choosing how you think about it, you can change the<br \/>\noutcome.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We need to always be showing up with a positive,<br \/>\nsolution-oriented mindset for ourselves, our team, and our<br \/>\ncustomers. When we do this, we will see positive results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cOur actions will drive our results but it starts with<br \/>\nour thoughts.\u201d &#8211; Wendy Batten<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Related podcasts we think you\u2019ll like: \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Episode<br \/>\n109: Money Mindset, Abundance, &amp; Bad Ideas with Guest Expert<br \/>\nEmily King<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Episode<br \/>\n147: How to Reframe Your Mindset on Competition<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Episode<br \/>\n151: How to Have Difficult Conversations with Good Staff<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">About your host, Wendy Batten<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In case we haven\u2019t met yet, I\u2019m Wendy, a small<br \/>\nbusiness coach and founder of the<br \/>\nRetailer\u2019s Inner Circle, where I help other independent shop<br \/>\nowners learn how to gain the right business skillsets to see more<br \/>\nprofits, paychecks, and joy as they navigate running their retail<br \/>\nbusiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Through online classes, business coaching programs,<br \/>\nspeaking, and a top-ranked podcast,<br \/>\nI\u2019ve helped hundreds of retailers around the globe reclaim their<br \/>\ndream and see the success they want from their beautiful shops.
