Opening New Doors Fuel Your Dreams

One of my favorite questions is, “What CAN I Do?”

No matter how challenging a situation.

Answering that question always reveals a clear path.

As they navigate our new world, I hear my clients ask me that question, too.

My answer usually goes something like this -

“Can you do it? When you open a new door, you will find a new opportunity. Start opening more doors.”

Feeling empowered in a world that is draining your energy is like Tesla on a cross-country trip without charging stations is difficult. To ensure you are never running low, remember that dreams, possibilities, potential, and a feeling of certainty are all powered by new opportunities.

When you open a new door, an opportunity reveals itself. Your challenges will fade as you focus on the new way. But you must be willing to open a new door to find it.

The key to thriving in uncertain times is finding opportunities behind new doors. All you have to do is open the door.

Do This Instead of Setting Goals

Do you still dream of what you will be when you grow up?

Do visions still keep popping into your head?

Is there a mission that seems to be calling you?

What’s your BAM?

What’s your BIG - AWESOME - MOTIVATING - MISSION?

What gives you pleasant dreams and a feeling of happiness?

What scares yet excites you?

What makes you smile and say, “If I could only get myself to…”

Stand up? Take a step? Repeat?

There’s no need to wait. You can start right now. Really! Right now.

Focusing on Your Twenty Percent Apr 16, 2024

Focusing on Your Twenty Percent

If you’re like many folks, you have so much on your plate that it’s challenging to keep up— forget about moving closer to your goal.

There’s good news: you are not alone.

Everyone lives according to the 80/20 rule, which almost everybody has heard about. The Pareto Principle states that 80% of outcomes result from 20% of all causes of any event.

However, to get what you want in life, there is a slight twist to the equation that says,

80% of the things you focus on have nothing to do with what you ultimately want. They are simply the busyness of life.

20% of the things you focus on in your life have everything to do with getting what you want and will yield the most significant return for your efforts.

When you eliminate, delegate, or ignore the 80% and hyper-focus on the 20%, the math changes, and suddenly, you are living your best life 100% of the time.

Focusing on your best 20% changes everything.

Using Natural Law to Be Your Best Apr 15, 2024

Show notes

Using Natural Law to Be Your Best

Personal growth is a journey. It can be a lot of work. It’s also more fun to follow the rules of ‘Natural Law.’

1) The Law of Vibration states that thoughts are things. They are one of the most potent forms of energy. What you think about, you bring about. Pay attention to your thoughts.

2) According to the Law of Polarity, nothing exists without an opposite. Love, hate, hot, cold, yin, and yang. Opposites are different forms of the same thing. Embrace them.

3) The Law of Rhythm states life is a pendulum. What swings left must swing right.

4) Every effect must have a cause; every cause must have an effect. That’s the Law of Cause and Effect. Everything in life is perpetual and never-ending.

You can speed up your success by understanding how these always-present forces are at work in your life.

Your Desire Comes From Their Desire Apr 12, 2024

Your Desire Comes From Their Desire

Not a day passes by without someone asking, "How do I get another person to help me get what I want?"

Persuading others is one key to getting what you want in life—and here's a big secret: It's NOT about you!

You'll get what you want faster by focusing on how you can help others solve their problem - and "Ladder of Desire."

This is how it works:

1) Most folks lecture others. That's a low level of communication and rarely builds a real connection.

2) A more practical solution is to show others the way and explain how to solve their problem.

3) The most potent way is to offer to take care of their dilemma. That is the top rung of the 'Ladder of Desire.' Everybody wants their problems to disappear. Make that happen, and you'll be a Hero!

When you follow this approach, you make friends, prove your value, and are more likely to have your favor returned. Do good first.

Why Next Week Begins This Week Apr 11, 2024

Why Next Week Begins This Week

I have a saying -

“Next year begins THIS year. Next month begins THIS month. Next week begins THIS week.”

If you want to stay on track, accomplish your goals, and enjoy life more - you MUST take control of your calendar. It’s easier than you think:

1) Life will come at you FAST! Schedule any significant and can’t-miss life events at least one year in advance. Put it on the calendar and block it out. You can always change your mind.

2) Hold your space. Decide in advance what you will be doing with your days. When will you work on projects? When will you see clients? When will you have fun?

3) Conclude each week by securing your schedule for the next - and adhere to it. Consistency is key.

The future is always brighter when your day-to-day focus fulfills your goals this week. Focus, my friend. Focus.

Happy No Matter What Apr 10, 2024

Show notes

Happy No Matter What

Would you like to be happy every day of the week?

Maybe it's time to start thinking like a happy person.

There's no magic to being happier.

Rose-colored glasses are not required.

Just start looking at your day-to-day life the way a happy person does.

Give this a try:

1) Accept that merely being alive means encountering occasional challenges.

2) Realize that dealing with challenges is a privilege that comes with being alive.

3) Welcome frustration. That means that you are not satisfied and are beginning to make adjustments.

4) Accept responsibility for solving your challenges. Run forward and fix them as soon as possible.

5) Deal with everything that life throws at you. Get a great night's sleep. Have another great day tomorrow.

It's amazing how that kind of mindset makes most challenges never show up in the first place.

Prioritize Yourself First Apr 09, 2024

Prioritize Yourself First

If you spend any time listening to me, it won’t take long before you hear me screaming from the top of the mountains to ignore the agenda and propaganda-filled world we live in and focus on yourself.

Here’s the truth...

Nobody is thinking about you and what you do. That means you need to pay attention to yourself because everybody else is busy with themselves.

Some folks find that way of thinking difficult because society makes you believe you must do what everybody else does to be successful. But lets think about that for a minute.

Is everybody more successful than you, or is everybody in the same boat?

If you are being honest, you know the answer.

So, who is more successful than you?

It’s those crazy people that are out in front leading the masses. You know, the ones who paid attention to what they wanted, ignored what others thought, took action, and convinced everybody else to support them on their mission.

Here’s another truth…

Like they say, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me!” But never forget, when you think about yourself first, you’ll have more time to think about others too.

Hope, Fear, Faith, and Courage Apr 08, 2024

Show notes

Hope, Fear, Faith, and Courage

Have you ever paid attention to the process that moves you forward - or stops you in your tracks?

All change begins with Hope, a feeling of expectation, and a desire for a certain thing to happen.

Right after hope comes fear, an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous and likely to cause pain or a threat.

When you commit to making your dreams come true, you move into Faith; you have complete trust or confidence in someone or something.

Finally comes Courage, the ability to do something that frightens you.

Don't allow yourself to get stuck along the way; your dreams are waiting.

Stop Waiting to Get What You Want Apr 05, 2024

Stop Waiting to Get What You Want

I was sitting at the dining room table of a friend. We had been solving the problems of the world in an hours-long conversation when she asked,

“What are you talking about on tomorrow's podcast?"

When I told her that I hadn't thought about it yet, she said,

"Why don't you talk about why people don't take big chances and stay in their comfort zone for their entire life?"

My mind did an instant review of my life and all the areas I had stumbled before I got out of my own way. I also remembered conversations with clients over the years on the topic of life's leaps. Before I could say anything, she said,

"I know what it is. People get so comfortable with what they've built, and they don't want to chance losing it. Their money, their home, they wonder what their family will say?"

Is there anything else?

"Yes. Everybody gets scared and freezes. I'm like that, but I've learned to push through fear and go for it - as long as I'm mostly sure I won't lose what I've built."

We talked a bit more about what it takes to make the changes you want in life and came to three conclusions-

When you have a growth mindset and believe that anything is possible, you can do anything. Holding on too tightly to what you have sends the wrong energetic message. When you are willing to expand - you will.

Next, as a human, you will never be comfortable gambling on the very thing that allows you to dream. The solid foundation that takes care of your personal needs is the very reason you desire to self-activate. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs taught us that. Your foundation must remain while you expand.

Finally, fear will always be present when beginning a new adventure. The cure is knowledge. When you know what you have, see your path forward, and have prepared as much as possible for your journey, you will find yourself willing to go for it.

Anything is possible when you protect your foundation, respect the challenge, and honor the dreams that are whispering to your soul.
