Traveling From Intention to Success

An epidemic infecting dreamers worldwide is nothing more than a dream buster.

Living a happy life, enjoying excellent relationships, and making more money? It seems that everyone has intention.

Some intentions are good. Some intentions are bad. In any case, moving from having intentions to succeed requires two steps:

1) Intention becomes actionable when you DECIDE to follow through on your intention. If not, nothing will happen. When you do, move on to the next step.

2) Once you’ve DECIDED to follow through on your intention, ACTION is required. What kind? Actions that form a direct path to your anticipated outcome.

Become someone who knows what you want, decides to do it, and follows through until you get it. That’s how you become unstoppable!

Where You Should Put Your Focus Sep 06, 2023

Where You Should Put Your Focus

I was speaking with a young man who was doing something familiar. He was living in two realities:

1) He had finished school; one reality was pursuing his dream career.

2) While he worked toward his dream, he earned a job certification to pay the bills.

During our conversation, he said something that got my attention. “I’m hoping I can get a good job supporting my dream.”

My ears perked up. Years of Coaching allow me to hear de-focused and dream-erasing thoughts loud and clear.

Yes, everybody needs to pay their bills. However, what you focus on is what you get.

When the certainty of earning income becomes your focus, dreams disappear. What you focus on is what you get.

Most folks don’t notice their dreams are gone for twenty years. What you focus on is what you get.

Focus your mind and actions on turning your dreams into reality. Whatever you do to earn a living alone falls into the category of necessary and temporary.

Motivation to Always Reach Your Goals Sep 05, 2023

Motivation to Always Reach Your Goals

You’ve heard if you want success, you must go after your goals with consistency and dedication. You must want it for yourself—more than anybody wants it for you.

YOU are the engine that drives your dreams.

Others will help, but in the end, your actions are the only thing that will lead to the reward.

I remember when my kids got older. I had a talent for manifesting what I wanted in life, and my Son asked, “Dad, how do you always seem to create what you want?”

I said, “YOU must decide that you want it before you can get it. You are the engine that drives your dreams.”

I laughed when he said, “Is that telling me to make my bed when I was a kid?”

One more thing.

Some people think when they reach their goals, they can take a break. Not so. Permanent success does not come from temporary actions.

Your real reward will be all the new opportunities in your life. Everybody loves a winner.

YOU are the engine that drives your dreams. Always remember that.

How to Succeed at Your Job Sep 04, 2023

How to Succeed at Your Job

Have you ever wondered how to become one of those happy and successful people you see everywhere?

You might say, “Hmm… what are they doing that I’m not doing?”

You might find a clue if you listen to Bill Belichick, the Coach of the New England Patriots.

He says, “DO YOUR JOB!”

It’s a simple Manta that means you have an assignment and need to execute it.

If you have dreams and aspirations, your assignment is to go after it. You need to execute it.

If you want a better job or promotion, your assignment is to do the work. You need to execute it.

If you want to step up and make more money driving for Uber - you have an assignment. You need to execute it.

Anything is possible when you understand your JOB to make it happen. DO YOUR JOB! The rest will take care of itself.

Disappear Yourself Sep 01, 2023

Show notes

Growing up, I was an energetic, enthusiastic, and excitable child. I never let a day go by without challenging something - usually with my mouth. Thanks to those responsible for turning me into a good person, I learned a valuable lesson when they said-

“Listen twice as much as you speak. You have two ears and one mouth for a reason.”

You’ve heard that before, and in today’s fast-paced world, knowing when to put a zipper on your lips is critical. But I’ve also learned to take that advice to a new level to get what I want. I call it going “Dark.”

When you go “Dark,” you have chosen to listen to others less. You are still listening, caring, and interacting with those around you. You’ve decided to listen to yourself twice as much instead.

The world we live in today makes it seem as though it’s impossible to get what you want without others. There are endless hours of interacting, Googling, ZOOMing, Texting, and more. It’s like we’ve lost permission to think and do for ourselves. We can’t move forward without the social approval of those around us when the exact opposite is true.

Something extraordinary happens when you give yourself space to listen to yourself more. Your creative mind and talents flourish—your positive energy rebounds. You feel more present and find more meaning in your life. Going “Dark” makes your life brighter, and good stuff happens.

When you take the time to slip away into your own space, you develop into the person you were meant to be.

Removing yourself from the buzz of the world gives you a new kind of energy. And you do it without anybody’s permission or without anybody knowing.

When you emerge, everybody will notice that you are different. They will listen when you speak, seek your advice, and be attracted to you in a new way.

Who knew that listening twice as much as you speak works even better when you listen to yourself twice as much as you listen to others?

Asking For Permission is Silly Aug 31, 2023

Show notes

My friend Sid called to tell me he had found his next big thing. He decided to take flying lessons and couldn't wait to get started.

I have always wanted to learn to fly after hearing my Mom's stories over the years. Her father was a contractor in Wilmington, North Carolina. When an airport client couldn't pay, he offered lessons. She was 15 years old.

Her stories of landing on the beaches of North Carolina were thrilling. Flying Solo before an arriving hurricane was captivating. We'll forget the fact that she 3-days short of being legally old enough. Her adventurous spirit took control. With a hurricane coming, she wasn't going to ask for permission. She took command, and it put her in the record books.

By the time I began flying 50 years later, things were more controlled, and speaking on the radio to Air Traffic Control was required - and challenging. Being nervous, I often found myself asking for permission when I wanted to do something. I would say, "This is Cessna 67508 requesting permission to…"

One day, while waiting for their response, my instructor taught me a lesson I could have learned from my Mom, "You're the Pilot in Command. Your seat is moving, and theirs isn't. Don't ask for permission. Tell them what you want and let them work it out."

What?

I don't have to ask for anyone's permission to do what I want to do.

I never asked again, in flying or anything else in life. I decide what I want to do and do it. If somebody else needs to know what I'm up to, I tell them, work out the solution, and keep moving. If not, I keep moving.

Some days, it seems like we need permission from everybody else. Don't fall into that trap. Your destiny is your choice and yours alone.

And what happened to Sid? He asked his wife for permission, and she said "no." He never took a single lesson.

Momentum Freight Train Aug 30, 2023

Show notes

Have you ever found yourself stalled?

I had big plans a few years ago, and nothing was moving forward. When I said nothing, others didn't seem to get the memo that I was on a mission.

We've all been in situations where nobody will return your call. Your email gets ghosted. You can't seem to get support or commitment for your future world-saving plans.

That's what happened to me and caused me to decide to create my momentum. I called it my "Momentum Freight Train."

My first use of my new mindset was to get my future wife to take our relationship more seriously. Everything was going great - but not fast enough for me. So, before our next date, I said to myself -

"I'm not going to wait for permission. I'm going to build my life, no matter what. If she doesn't join me, I'll ride my momentum to someone who will."

It's important to understand that creating your momentum is not negative thinking. On the contrary, people notice attractive energy - and she did.

I was off and running with my commitment, and Joi and others didn't take long to realize they had better get on board before my train left the station.

Everything good begins with YOU. There's no need to wait for others. Create your momentum, and others won't be able to stay away.

Goals Are Like Hot Donuts Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

Have you noticed that airplanes fly crooked?

Heading to their destination, winds attempt to blow them off course. That’s why pilots turn their aircraft into the wind. They call it Wind Correction.

The same thing happens when you set a Goal. While you prefer the straight path, you will likely run into winds that will blow you off course.

Your spouse disagrees with your plans. Your boss demands more hours. Your kids, friends, and responsibilities keep blowing you further away from your dreams.

It’s time to start thinking like a pilot setting a flight plan to a distant city with a Kristy Kreme donut store about to turn in the ‘Hot Donuts’ sign.

Keep an eye on your final destination. Always set goals that factor in winds that will blow you off your course. Make minor corrections until you get where you’re heading.

STOP Being Triggered Aug 28, 2023

Show notes

STOP Being Triggered

Do you ever feel emotionally triggered and tossed off track for the entire day?

You are an emotional person. When emotions keep you from logically navigating your day, problems begin.

How do you control being triggered?

1) Identify what triggers a response you want or don’t want to experience.

2) Decide how you want to feel when triggered. Make a plan to respond.

3) The next time you are triggered, recognize what is happening and execute your plan.

Identify. Decide. Respond.

The more you catch what emotionally triggers you, the more control will have over how you feel. That is true power.
