How to Achieve Your Most Ambitious Goals

Have you ever wondered how the most successful people in the world get that way?

Could it be their timing is right?

Do they "know" somebody?

Luck? That's it. They get lucky!

Maybe, but I think there is more to it.

Every person I've ever known who achieved remarkable success did three things:

1) They recognized what they wanted and envisioned themselves living that life.

2) At some point, they commit and go all in. Their dream IS going to happen. There is no "Plan B."

3) They practice never-ending flexibility and perseverance no matter what gets in the way. They keep going until they get what they want.

Yes, it seems that you must pay the price for living the life of your dreams - and it's not money. It's YOU!

What You Need to Feel Safe and Happy Nov 02, 2022

What You Need to Feel Safe and Happy

Success in life happens on top of a solid foundation of basic needs.

In 1954, Abraham Maslow released Motivation and Personality. He expanded on his Hierarchy of Needs theory.

Maslow suggested that to reach your full potential:

1) You must provide for your physiological needs. Food, clothing, shelter, money, and more.

2) You must feel safe. Personally, emotionally, financially, health and well-being, and against accidents and illness.

3) Socially, you need to feel a sense of loving and belonging.

4) Esteem and the desire for acceptance, respect, and value by others is your next step. Maslow said, “What a man can be, he must be.” Self-actualization requires mastery of your previous needs.

6) Self-transcendence removes you from your ego and begins your focus on the greater good.

Your best life is built on a sturdy foundation. Make sure you can eat, pay your bills, feel safe, and have friends. Then you can change the world.

How to Better Connect With Others

Every day I spend time on the phone with excited folks who know they are close to getting what they want. They can't figure out how to get their hands on it.

Let's start with the following:

1) Anything you want in this world is owned or controlled by somebody else.

2) If you want their help, you must get their attention.

It always comes down to three things. In this order:

1) What problem are they having? No, it may not relate to you. It doesn't matter. If you can help, you will get their attention.

2) What's your solution? How can you fix it? When can you fix it? You'll know when you are close when you see the excitement in their eyes.

3) What's your offer? What must they do to get you to help? What do you want?

It's simple.

Address another person's problems with a robust solution and an offer they can't refuse. That's a real win-win.

Your Happiness Begins Today Oct 31, 2022

Your happiness begins today

Do you ever wake up in the morning and jump straight into your To-Do list and forget about what you want?

With so much on our plates, it can be easy to lose track of the big picture and lose track of where you were heading.

That’s why we always do our Homework on Monday. It’s a powerful way to ‘Overlay’ what is essential in your life while you get the day-to-day stuff done.

Here’s how I do it:

1) Check in with the ‘Roles’ and ‘Goals’ you have in your life. Do you like what you have or need to make a change? Decide the ‘next’ action that you will take this week.

2) ‘Hold Space’ on your calendar to move your ‘Roles and Goals’ in the direction of your dreams. Don’t let day-to-day challenges through you off track.

3) No matter how busy you get, review your homework throughout the week. Focus on your future.

Remember -

Tomorrow’s happiness is built on a foundation of today’s focus. Don’t lose track of that.

Make Your Own Motivation Oct 28, 2022

Make Your Own Motivation

As a child, I wondered why I couldn't always have my way. Mom and Dad were so mean! I couldn't wait to grow up, move out, and experience being an adult. Everything would be different - or so I thought.

After stepping into the adult world, it didn't take long to realize that not much had changed. It turns out it wasn't my parents. It was life turning down my requests. Life was getting in the way. What was even worse was that I was getting in my way.

I've joked over the years that if I'm the Boss of me, why don't I do what I say? Eventually, I realized having a big ass goal, being on a mission, and most importantly, motivation on demand was the solution.

Motivation is a powerful, if not fleeting, tool that we all need. But we need to understand how our minds generate motivation:

1) Your physiology dictates your feelings. The easiest way to break free of a slump is to stand up, take a step, and REPEAT. Movement wakes your body up, guides your emotions, and makes anything feel possible.

2) Focus fuels your fire. If you're feeling unmotivated, you are also drifting in the wind with no direction. Shifting your thoughts in a positive direction and toward what excites you will break you out and get you moving.

3) The words you say create the emotions you feel. Negative self-talk will drag you, and everybody else, down. When you make the words, you say to yourself, internally and externally, positive and uplifting, everything changes. Words matter more than you think.

You're human. Your brain isn't wired to stay motivated all the time unless you are willing to give it a helping hand.

Helping Others in 3 Steps Oct 27, 2022

Helping Others in 3 Steps

Have you ever felt the desire to help others?

Do you want to help them figure things out? Make more money? Recover from a bad experience?

Maybe you want to make a difference in the world yourself.

I’ve always believed that our power to help others is a side benefit of being ourselves - and having a structure to follow -

1) A person in need desires an outcome. It makes no sense to offer advice until we know what they are seeking. That puts us on the same page.

2) Next, find out the problems they have, the actions taken, and what was the result. Then, relate them to what you have found works.

3) Now that you’ve heard their struggle, you can make specific recommendations that will move their life in a positive direction.

Helping others is a lot like being a Doctor. Listen. Examine. Prescribe. Take action. Follow up.

Must-Have Life Habits Oct 26, 2022

Must-Have Life Habits

Motivating yourself to reach your goals is a never-ending process that kicks into high gear this time of year. Most folks have a long list of new routines and habits they want to put into place - it may be too long.

Many years ago, I decided to control my mornings by establishing actions that I would take upon waking. While I had great intentions, I found myself floundering and eventually losing focus.

Why?

I realized that the habits I was trying to establish had no real meaning other than checking them off my list. Instead of feeling motivated and inspired, I felt bogged down. I decide to make things simple.

These days, I only establish minimum viable habits in my life. In other words, I only commit to the minimum number of behaviors that deliver the results I desire. Anything more is excessive, distracting, and frustrating.

Life is much simpler when you keep it simple. A wise person would spend time on the fewest number of actions that provide the most significant results.

#1 Thing You Must Do For Success

Steve Harvey is a funny guy. He's also a wise man.

You may have seen his video teaching the one thing you must do if you want to be successful.

You must jump.

If you want to be successful, you must jump into your dreams, take a leap of faith, and go for it.

Often, we stand on the cliff of life and watch others fly by, enjoying the life you desire. They jumped, their parachute opened, and life is good.

You must jump.

When you finally decide to jump, your parachute will not open right away. You will get bumped and bruised, but eventually, your parachute will open.

You must jump.

If you don't jump, your parachute will never open.

Is today the day you jump?

How to Reduce My Stress Levels

Unless you are living in a cave, you may have more Stress and less Hope in your life today than you did a short time ago. Pandemics can do that. So can life.

Over the years, I’ve learned that Stress is usually a result of fear.

Feeling Stress of never getting off the hamster wheel.

Feeling Stress and fear from uncertainty.

Feeling Stress from a lack of adequate information.

It doesn’t matter where your fear originates. The solution is re-framing your mindset to see things as they are. When you do that, you can see things that can be.

Having a re-frame mindset will allow you to create Hope, Reduce Stress, and become unstoppable.
