3 Steps to Succeed at Anything

Setting Goals is the most potent method of getting what you want. It is the power of your mind - activated.

Here’s how:

1) Decide what you want and when you want to get it.

2) Decide when you will start and when you will finish.

3) Decide how you will begin and maintain your momentum.

Then you must get to work.

Limit anything and anybody that has a distracting influence on you. You must get to work.

Commit to overcoming any obstacle that gets in your way. You must get to work.

The path is long. Start like a sprinter and end like a marathon runner. You must get to work.

The only thing stopping you from getting what you want is not you. It is everything that you allow to get in your way.

Eliminate Your Limitations Apr 19, 2023

Eliminate Your Limitations

What if your life had no limitations and no consequences?

What if you could do anything you wanted without anything holding you back?

Here’s the truth.

Personal limitations and consequences are helpful. Think of them as guard rails alongside a curvy mountain road. They keep you safe while you are on your journey.

What if you find playing it too safe and holding yourself back from your dreams?

Another way is to consider it part of your internal belief and value system. You may need to expand through different experiences.

In other words -

Take baby steps until you gain confidence and believe anything is possible. Then prove it yourself.

Are You The Monkey in The Middle? Apr 18, 2023

Are You The Monkey in The Middle?

Have you ever found yourself stuck in the middle?

I was speaking with a client trying to be everything to everybody. His business was not growing. His life was not happy. He couldn’t seem to find a way to make progress.

That’s when I said…

“My friend, you are stuck in the middle. Nothing good happens when you are in the middle.”

In business and life, having low expectations and being surrounded by like-minded folks is okay.

It’s also okay to reach for your dreams, has high expectations, and expect that of others.

What happens if you’re in the middle?

When low and high expectations combine, confusion is the result. Mediocrity overtakes quality. Frustration will be your daily friend.

The choice is yours. If I were you, I would make the decision never to get stuck in the middle.

Inspiring Advice From Grand Master

American Taekwondo Grand Master H.U. Lee gave volumes of advice during his life of service. In my view, his best was also his shortest:

“Today Not Possible. Tomorrow Possible.”

Today is a new day. Yesterday prepared you for today. If today doesn’t go as planned - you always have tomorrow.

Conversation Starters That Make People Like You

Today you are going to have opportunities to communicate.

Here’s how to create conversations that connect:

1) Meet folks where they are. Pay attention to how their day is going. Step into their NOW.

2) Establishing something in common. “Wow! Has this day been crazy for you too?”

3) Establish an undeniable truth. “I promise it will get crazier with the holidays coming.”

4) Move toward an idea that everybody can agree with. “Summer is coming fast. We should get ahead of it and do some planning.”

5) Bring a new idea into the conversation. “I have a system that will work for both of us. Do you want to see it?”

You will always get more of what you want when communication moves toward a common goal.

Problems With Others? Maybe it's YOU! Apr 12, 2023

Problems With Others? Maybe it's YOU!

One of my hobbies is running my Australian Shepard, Levi, in agility competitions.

When people see us run, their first comment is almost always -

"I love how your dog knows where to go. How did you teach him to follow the numbers on the course?"

I always smile.

No. Levi does not follow numbers. He relies on me, his Handler, to tell him where to go. He will go off course and be eliminated if I don't communicate my intention.

In the agility world, we say, "Every dog has a Handler problem."

I've noticed the same thing in the human world.

If you think you are being tripped up by someone else, double-check to see if they have a Handler problem.

Know what you want and where you want to go, and effectively communicate your goals. You will be amazed at how almost everybody will follow the numbers.

Stop Putting Your Foot in Your Mouth Apr 10, 2023

Show notes

Do you ever find yourself answering the phone, responding to an email, or posting to Social Media before your brain fully engages?

If you’re like me, you can’t count the number of times you put your foot or your fingers in your mouth and regretted it.

So what’s the fix?

I worked with a client a few minutes ago in the same situation, and his response was brilliant!

STOP.

He stopped in his tracks and didn’t respond at all.

THINK.

He pondered how he felt and why he was about to make a mistake. What was driving it?

THINK AGAIN.

As part of his process, he wrote down his feelings, what action he should take, and when he would take it.

ACT.

The entire process took place within a few minutes. He slept on it and responded with a short email the next day. The result was no added drama and continued positive momentum.

I like to think of this as a ‘Recipe For Me’ that I create in advance and utilize for consistent results. Once I know something works, I must check my recipe, and life is good.

Rules For Working With a Mentor Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

Do you wish you could find a mentor to help you?

Every mentor I’ve ever had made sure that I possessed three characteristics for success before they agreed to work with me.

Would you pass their test?

1) Do you have a burning desire to achieve your goals?

2) Are you a coachable person and prepared to accept the wisdom and guidance of others?

3) Are you willing to undertake all actions to achieve your success?

If the shoe were on the other foot, you would want those traits in someone asking for your help - right?

Talk your walk. Walk your talk. That’s a great life.
