How to get Unstuck and Find New Opportunity

Do you sometimes feel stuck and overwhelmed? Feeling as if there is nothing you can do?

It happens to everybody. You are not alone. However, people who break free understand three things:

1) Everything in life is temporary. Good or bad, nothing last forever.

2) No matter how stuck you feel, there is always more opportunity. More than one person could ever take advantage of in a lifetime.

3) Even though you don’t feel it, successful people start shaking trees until the fruit falls to the ground. There is always fruit. It will always fall.

You’ll never feel stuck again as long as you know the world has more of whoever you want just waiting for you to go for it.

How To Be a Good Leader - It's Simple Oct 05, 2022

How To Be a Good Leader - It's Simple

Is your hair on fire for success?

There's a phrase that sums up what it takes to get whatever you seek.

"The faster the leader's speed, the faster the pack's speed."

It's a simple truth; success likes speed. It's very sexy and desirable to others.

Knowing your goals and taking massive imperfect action always speed up success.

Why?

People get caught up in the belief their leaders cast. When you crank up your energy and urgency, others feel your passion and support your mission.

Whatever your dreams, it is time for you to fire up your inner supercharger and get ready for the ride of your life.

What To Do If You're In A Rut - Nothing? Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

What To Do If You're In A Rut - Nothing?

I live by a mantra that says -

"Almost everything in day-to-day life should be routine. Consistent. Predictable. Between the lines. Boring. But, occasionally, it's good to get out of the box, a little on edge, a bit scared, and excited."

The truth is, you need both. There is also another truth.

Most things that make you happy and successful are pretty mundane — taking care of your home, paying bills on time, spending time with family. Consistent routines focused on what's important are how you achieve success.

Have fun and stick to what feels comfortable is working for you. After all, it's not a rut; it's a routine.

How to Influence Yourself

Did you know that the power of Influence is ruling your day?

Your subconscious mind is listing. Opinions are formed. Actions begin. It usually happens without your awareness.

The dictionary definition of Influence is; the capacity or power of persons or things to be a compelling force on or produce effects on the actions, behavior, opinions, etc.

The degree of success you have in life results from who influences you. How you influence others. The Influence you have on yourself.

Pay attention and choose the Influence that is good for you.

How to be Happy and Excited Every Day Sep 30, 2022

How to be Happy and Excited Every Day

I love how kids live in the moment while also getting excited about the next fun thing. Maybe it’s time we all begin acting like kids again.

Since you were young, special events excited you enough that sheer anticipation would drive you all day and keep you up at night. Would you like that back in your life?

The trick to harnessing the power of anticipation is to keep a steady stream of exciting moments in your future. I call this the Anticipation Engine.

Keep two things to keep in mind:

1) Your energy is dependent on getting excited about your future. Keep your list long.

2) Once an event passes, your excitement will disappear.

Enjoy the current moment. Don’t rush ahead, but always have something fun coming next.

Living a life of anticipation always gives a natural energy boost. If your life is bland - schedule something fun and get excited again.

Are Your Goals YOUR Goals? Sep 29, 2022

Are Your Goals YOUR Goals?

Are you feeling excited to be alive today? It might be an excellent opportunity to become an intentional goal setter.

Goals are the heartbeat of your life.

You will always enjoy pursuing goals that align with the most significant Values. They are tangible expressions of your Values. There's nothing more satisfying.

Goals are also automatic. Others will set them for you if you don't set them for yourself.

If you're not enjoying your life, you haven't set meaningful goals.

It's simple.

Decide what you want. Set a Goal. Create a plan. Set a deadline. Get to work.

Three Big Success Principles Sep 28, 2022

Three Big Success Principles

Where do you begin when you want success?

What's your first step?

Over 2000 years ago, the philosophy of Stoicism led the way in creating success.

Their lessons still apply today:

1) Clarity. You must see where you are heading. Anything less, and you will spend more time figuring things out than moving forward.

2) Clear The Clutter. Once you know where you are heading, you'll need to make space. Finish old projects, pay off debt, and organize the garage. Adding more stuff to your stuff will only create frustration.

3) Action. Focused action will get you anywhere fast. However, since activity creates activity, any movement will yield results.

Know what you want and create the space to bring it into your life. That's the perfect time to take massive imperfect action and get what you want.

Friends Holding You Back Sep 27, 2022

Friends Holding You Back

The success and happiness that you have in your life is a direct result of something your Mom was always asking -

Who are your friends?

If they are positive, you will be positive. Are they negative? You will be negative. If they have money, you will have money. Are they broke?

You get my point.

Your life will become exactly like the people that are closest to you. Choose wisely.

Turning Obstacles Into Opportunity Sep 26, 2022

Turning Obstacles Into Opportunity

Have you ever wondered how much easier things would be if you didn’t have to think so much?

What if the future or your past didn’t matter?

Imagine if you didn’t worry about the possessions, success, or drama of others.

What would happen if you believed that YOU were in control?

Now you are starting to think like a Stoic Philosopher.

Stoicism is about paring down and simplifying. They eliminate unproductive traits that define the majority of the population. One of the most common is turning obstacles upside down, creating opportunities, and seeing them as teachable moments.

For a Stoic, every bad thing becomes a new source of good.

Marcus Aurelius said it this way,

“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in your way becomes the way.”

Get Things Done (GTD) Sep 23, 2022

Get Things Done (GTD)

I’m a fan of David Allen’s Getting Things Done. His book spawned an entire industry. It also causes a lot of stress.

A few years ago, David was speaking at a conference, and folks asked how he managed to get things done:

1) Nothing gets done until I process everything. No cheating.

2) I process everything into a single “trusted” place when I have time. Some folks use a journal. Others use software or an app.

3) I review my potential work weekly and decide if I still need to do it.

Nothing added to your list is more important than tasks already there. Processing everything together will reveal the best path. Stay focused, my friend.
