How To Live a Better Life By Watching Superhero Movies Aug 07, 2019

Show notes

Before you plan on a Netflix binge, let me explain. Every superhero movie revolves around a similar set of core principles. Every hero has a plan, something interrupts that plan, and the hero overcomes all obstacles to win in the end. We don’t find satisfaction in watching the hero slay a dragon, or knock out an opponent in the ring. Those are actually metaphors for the protagonist’s journey to overcome great obstacles. Any villain, it doesn't matter if it’s an alien, robot, sea creature, or demigod with a chip on his shoulder, is merely an obstacle in the way of the hero achieving success. Where in your life can you relate? Where are you stumbling, running into barriers, or being knocked down. Take a note from Tony Stark, Dr. Steven Strange, Dr. Bruce Banner, or even Thor. Learn from your mistakes and shortcomings, learn how to overcome obstacles, and achieve greatness.

Using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs To Discover The True Motivation Behind Your Decisions Aug 05, 2019

Show notes

Why do you get out of bed every day? Why do you go to work, the gym, or anywhere for that matter? What is the motivating factor behind all of those decisions? Is it money, health, vanity? Or is it something deeper than that. If you don’t have a roof over your head or food to eat, money isn’t the problem. Oddly enough, money is RARELY the answer to these questions whether or not you have food and shelter. Today I dive into Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and help you find the TRUE motivation behind you decisions. Join me on this trip through a deep psychology rabbit hole.

Sunday Secret: Stop Shouting To The Masses, Speak Directly To Your Ideal Customer Aug 04, 2019

Show notes

I help entrepreneurs scale their business, increase their income, and give them more time to spend with their families. And I’m good at it. In the first episode of this mini-series I’m going to speak directly to those in charge: CEOs, owners, even managers. Who is your ideal customer? What is the perfect customer/client in your eyes? Not who you CAN do business with, who you would CHOOSE to do business with. Stop speaking to the masses, no one hears you when you do that. Speak directly to your ideal customer, let them know you serve THEM (and not the masses). Listen as I walk you through the best ways to do this.

How to stop being lazy and start being productive Aug 02, 2019

Show notes

Are you lazy? Be honest. Do you have a long list of things you want to accomplish, or maybe a shorter list of big things, that you just can’t seem to complete because you’re too busy, it’s too hard, or just not worth it? Stop justifying your reasons for your lack of production. Today I dive into a list of 8 simple things, a list of “laziness mind hacks” if you will, that will help you get over your excuses, accomplish more, and live in a constant state of flow. Remember, it might be simple, but it’s not always easy.

You Are Creating Your Own Unhappiness | How To Turn That Frown Upside Down. Jul 29, 2019

Show notes

Happiness, and ultimately unhappiness, is all your own creation. If you are stuck living in your past, dwelling on what was and not what is, you are more than likely unhappy. If you are able to be present in the moment and tap into the eternal NOW, you are undoubtedly happy. If you’re on the side of the fence that is filled with complaints, negativity, and “failure” and you want to jump to the other side and experience fulfillment, positivity, and opportunity, then listen up. We live in an eternal state of NOW, stop letting memories of the past dictate how you perceive NOW and how you move forward.

The Quality of Your Contributions to Others = The Quality of Your Life Jul 26, 2019

Show notes

Your life’s purpose is calling, will you answer? The quality of your life ultimately boils down to the quality of your contribution. What does that mean exactly? Think of the times when you have felt most fulfilled in your life. More than likely it had nothing to do with income, social status, or something tangible. It was more than likely a time when you were not thinking of yourself at all, but instead being selfless. In my weekly group coaching session filled with entrepreneurs in all stages of their business, I am constantly amazed by the quality of sharing and contribution. Incredibly successful business owners helping new businesses get started. Younger minds helping a veteran revive a failing business. All amazing minds helping each other grow as opposed to tearing each other down. And what I’m finding more and more is that the people who are the happiest are those who are pursuing something that aligns with their soul and contributes to others. If you’re looking to make a shift in your life, consider giving up your ego, being less selfish and more selfless, and pouring into others.

How To Alter Your Current Reality | Control What Enters Your Mind Jul 24, 2019

Show notes

What does it take to change our own mind? What would be possible if you no longer allowed your mind to dwell on what you do not have? What if you stopped the limiting beliefs, negative self-image, and poor self-talk from creeping into your mind? Imagine how much time you could put towards positivity and advancement if you cut out all the time wasted on negativity and doubt, and get ready to have your mind blown when I do the math for you. Today I dive deep into physics, quantum mechanics, and much more as I expand on the ideology that, “You cannot solve a problem with the same mindset you used to create it.”

Why Your Time Is More Valuable Than Anything Else You Could Imagine Jul 22, 2019

Show notes

I understand that there are bills to pay. I also understand that things cost money, both tangible goods such as a car, food, the shirt on your back, as well as non-tangibles like vacations, entertainment, etc. But you can always get more money. However you can’t get more time. Once you’re out of time, that’s it. Once you’ve used your time, there is no getting it back. Stop wasting your time. Stop procrastinating. Stop saying things like, “Some day I will…” My friends, TODAY is SOME DAY! Today I talk about how you can guard your time appropriately and treat it like the valuable commodity that it is. Once you learn how to treat (and use) your time wisely, you’ll begin to see the countless opportunities for success that are in front of you and you’ll forget about everything else that is a WASTE OF TIME.

Personal Discipline | The difference between the HAVEs and HAVE NOTs Jul 19, 2019

Show notes

Are there things that you wish you could do? Wish you could get up earlier to be more productive? Wish you could get to the gym more frequently? Wish you could eat better? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you have plenty of room to grow when it comes to self-control and willpower. You need to get uncomfortable and make incremental changes toward your goal. And you need to be consistent! That means every day. And when you make enough incremental changes and create a massive shift from the person you once were, you can become a master or your personal world and nothing can stop you from getting to where you want to go. Every day you should be striving to be slightly better than you were the day before, so when you look back you don’t even recognize who you were before you started. But it’s tough. It takes self-discipline. Can you do it?
