Power of Simple With Adequate Information

Is your head constantly spinning with information overload?

It’s easy to do in today’s busy world. It can also be paralyzing and dream-stopping.

Instead of soaking in every piece of information and confusing yourself, the secret is -

1) Know your outcome. Knowing where you are heading makes it easier to see which road to travel.

2) Commit to tossing out 80% of the noise and clutter that currently fills your day.

3) Choose to act only on information that you deem adequate.

In other words, you don’t need to know everything before you start.

Focus on Adequate, reasonable, practical, and adequate, detailed information. All that counts is moving closer to your Goal.

How to be Endlessly Creative

Over the years, I have personally produced over 10,000 podcasts, and every one of them begins with the written word. Even though that makes my mouth and my fingers my most exercised body parts, it has also given me lots of opportunities to learn to keep my words flowing.

If you're like most people, you have found yourself sitting in front of a blank screen, praying for inspiration. It could be writer's block, procrastination, or maybe you stayed up late watching Netflix. In any case, there's a simple solution to always having a starting point.

Any project I need to wrap my head around begins by capturing the ideas that flow into my mind throughout the day. Even turning the radio off on a 20-minute drive can provide a treasure-trove of useable nuggets.

Next, I tuck those ideas away in a safe place, with no organizing, editing, or re-writing. I grab the thoughts out of the air, jot a note or record a memo, put them away, and let them simmer.

When I'm ready to get to work, I take 15 minutes the day before to review my creative genius list, toss out what is not relevant, create a simple outline, and walk away knowing I am ready to begin.

The next day, I can't wait to sit in front of a blank screen and let the magic start flowing from my figure tips with complete ease.

No Permission Needed For Happiness Jul 21, 2023

No Permission Needed For Happiness

You do not need permission to live life according to your terms.

It’s okay to ask for advice and guidance. Researching your direction and path is smart. It’s even okay to persuade others to take the journey with you.

You don’t need permission to be yourself and live your life.

You don’t need a big storyline.

You don’t need approval from anyone else.

You can start whenever you choose.

Here’s a secret that will help you adjust your mindset.

Most folks don’t care about you. They’re too busy thinking about themselves. If that’s the case, it sure seems silly to ask for permission - right?

MAPPING Your Success Jul 20, 2023

MAPPING Your Success

Have you ever heard people preach, "Get out of your comfort zone, try new things, always stretch!"

While true, it's only part of the story.

Look at anybody who has achieved goals and maintained success over a period, and you'll find:

1) Motivation. Successful people do whatever they can to get and stay motivated. It's not an occasional thing. It's an always thing.

2) Accountability. Successful people accept responsibility and ask others to hold them to their plan.

3) Planning. Successful people understand that no plan survives the first battle. They plan, work their plan, and adjust their plan until they get what they want.

4) Systemization. Successful people believe success is sequential and built level-by-level. Once achieved, it is systemized and maintained.

5) Sustainability. Successful people know that everything has an expiration date. Continuous monitoring and adjustments allow for long-term success.

I call this system MAPSS. It's all you need to get anything you want in life.

Productivity Hacks Jul 19, 2023

Productivity Hacks

I think it’s time we stop seeking more productivity. It’s too much work! I prefer being more efficient and effective.

Here are a couple of ideas that will help:

1) Say “No” to meetings if possible. If you must, keep them short and sweet.

2) Delay paying attention to incoming communication. It’s nothing more than somebody else’s to-do list. Do your stuff first.

3) Daily interruptions will never go away. You may as well expect and plan for them.

4) Never schedule more than 50% of your day. That will give you more time for things that pop up.

5) No more multi-tasking. Finish one task before the next.

The fastest way to be more productive is to make your To-Do list as short as possible.

Time to go ALL IN

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

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

Improving Your Financial Situation Jul 17, 2023

Improving Your Financial Situation

When it comes to improving their lives, most people say money is their top concern.

Tony Robbins said, “Making money won’t solve all of your problems - but at least you will arrive at your problems in style.”

The truth is, making more money, no matter how little, will solve most of your problems. It is also the magic juice that will fuel your dreams.

If you want enough money to create the life of your dreams:

1) KNOW what kind of life you desire. Be realistic about how much you need.

2) Making money is about adding VALUE to the person who is giving some of their money to you. They don’t have to do it. Make their life better and help them reach their dreams. They’ll happily help you do the same.

3) Set a financial goal and never lose track of it. Forward momentum is your friend.

4) Save some for yourself right off the top. Even 1% will add up over time. Plus, seeing your “profit’ will motivate you even more.

5) Stop trading hours for dollars. Once you have momentum, shift your mindset to passive and residual income. Set a course. Stay the course.

Dreams come true when you have the resources to make them happen.

Make ONE DOLLAR more today than yesterday. Use it to build a better life.

How To Figure Out Your Purpose Jul 14, 2023

How To Figure Out Your Purpose

Over the years, the most popular question I get from the MOVERS around here is -

“How do I find my purpose and face my passion?”

If I were to expand on that question, it would be -

“What can I do today to find my purpose and overcome the fear of living my passion?”

In other words, it’s one thing to find it; it’s another thing to get yourself to do it.

Today we’ll focus on finding it.

In my quest to live passionately, I always follow a 5-step process for discovering and facing your passion. It has never failed me.

1) Explore the possibilities that are available to you. The more, the better. Many things will interest you, and you should be willing to allow them into your life.

2) Pay attention to what gets and keep your attention. Don’t fight the feeling. Just follow the urge to explore.

3) Deep dive into the things shoving themselves into your life and immersing yourself.

4) When you find yourself fascinated and nearly obsessed, even if it makes no sense, you are heading a new path. Don’t be surprised if it is nothing you’ve ever considered before.

The formula is simple: Exploration + Fascination = Facing Your Passion

While there can be several strategic steps within the steps above, the more significant challenge is to allow yourself to follow what you find.

Once you find it, be sure you live it.
