Success is in The Try! Is It?

Have you ever taken the time at the end of your day to evaluate your Effort? I mean really scrutinize How Hard You Worked?

Lessons From My Hero | #WinToday S2|E23 Oct 03, 2019

Today marks the one year anniversary of my father’s death.

I wanted to share some thoughts on how we grow through loss; and just as importantly, to remind ourselves how precious our daily life truly is.

I hope this week’s episode helps you reflect, prioritize, and maximize the moments we are so fortunate to have.

Love You All!

Have A TOUGH Conversation | #WinToday S2|E22 Sep 26, 2019

Have a TOUGH Conversation

There is so much growth that can come from engaging in difficult conversations.

There is a huge difference between BEING difficult in a conversation and HAVING a difficult conversation.

One ignites growth, the other extinguishes it.

Just be NICE!

Stay In Your Lane? | #WinToday S2|E20 Sep 12, 2019

Stay In Your Lane? How many of you involve yourself is situations that are not yours to deal with. Why? Ask yourself these questions to maximize your time and keep your pile small Does this have ANYTHING to do with me? Does my involvement add ANY value to my life? Enjoy!

Change? | #WinToday S2E19 Sep 05, 2019

CHANGE?

Why do most of us hate CHANGE? Because, it does not feel safe or comfortable.

If nothing changes, nothing changes. Start small, identify an area you would like to change and be intentional with your work.

The longest road in the world can be traveled by taking the first step.

Belief: Challenge: Change - Trust YOUR Process #WinToday S2|E16 Aug 15, 2019

Belief: Challenge: Change

Trust YOUR Process

We are told all the time to Trust THE Process. For most of us, myself included, we have NO IDEA what that means. It’s because we don’t know what our process is. We follow someone else’s blueprint instead of creating our own.

Let’s figure out how to create OUR Process to change our lives.

Love You All

W.I.N. #WinToday S2|E8 Jun 20, 2019

What’s

Important

Now

Be Brave #WinToday S2|E7 Jun 13, 2019

Be Brave

All of us, at one time or another, have wanted “it” but FEAR stood in our way.

#WinToday 007 | Winners and Losers Mar 29, 2018

There are two major questions that separate the Winners from the Losers. Who are the must successful/significant people in any setting? Why? Outside of all the factors we might consider; the one that we often miss is: GRIT In this episode we discuss our ability to harness our passion and persistence towards long term goals; to build our GRIT!

#WinToday 006 | Control What You Can Control Mar 22, 2018

In this episode, I want you to look at STRESS and CHANGE differently. They will never go away so our perspective must change. Once we learn to confront stress and change head on; we will stop running and avoiding everything else in our life. You can begin to "Write Your Own Story"

#WinToday 005 | What does "Having It ALL" Really Mean? Mar 07, 2018

I do not understand the concept of "WORK/LIFE BALANCE". There is just LIFE! That is what we must work to embrace; LIFE! We accept other people’s version of what “HAVING IT ALL” really means. That is where we go wrong and what must change to truly define our WHY! MANY of us LIVE to WORK, we are NOT WORKING to LIVE. There is no joy in our lives outside of work because we are consumed by OUR work. It affects every area of our life. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WORK/LIFE BALANCE. ERASE THAT FROM YOUR TRAIN OF THOUGHT. THERE CANNOT BE BALANCE BECAUSE WORK AND LIFE ARE NOT THE SAME. What does “HAVING IT ALL” mean to you? That’s the question that matters; and ultimately the one that can change your life.

#WinToday 004 | Success VS. Significance Mar 07, 2018

Throughout my life; I like many of you, have thought success was the measuring stick. In relationships, work, academics, training, self improvement, etc. Over the last several years; after reading and listening to those I trust and respect; that perspective has changed. MY LIFE, AND I HOPE YOURS, WILL BE LIVED WITH SIGNIFICANCE. SUCCESS COMES WITH LIMITATIONS SIGNIFICANCE IS TRULY LIMITLESS DON’T WASTE YOUR GIFTS AND NEVER MINIMIZE YOUR ABILITY TO BE SIGNIFICANT

#WinToday 003 | The Motivation Station (Part 2) Mar 07, 2018

In this episode, we continue with The Motivation Station, paying close attention to no longer avoiding discomfort; instead embracing the most challenging situations. Why? Because that is how we GROW! “Once we embrace our fears, faults and uncertainties - once we stop running from and avoiding, and start confronting painful truths - we can begin to find the courage and confidence we desperately seek.” From Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*%$ Check our Mark Mason's book here: Mark Mason - The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck *This is not an affiliate link*

#WinToday 002 | The Motivation Station Mar 07, 2018

I do not believe MOST people are UNmotivated. I believe most people DO NOT believe in their ability, passion, and their WHY? I also believe MOST people are wrapped up in the stuff they “have” to do, they lose excitement for the things they “want” to do. I also believe that WE ALL KNOW that Positive Thinking can and will change your life. However, sometimes life throws us a GIANT BAG of shit, that there is NO WAY TO MAKE POSITIVE. That’s ok, the question is not whether or not the situation is the shit; the question is whether you want to smell forever or move on to your WHY!!!!!

#WinToday 001 | YOU CAN Write Your OWN Story!!!!!!! Mar 07, 2018

Welcome Friends to the WinToday Podcast. Because I’m tired of being full of shit, ½ committed, and AFRAID. I have been told by countless people; for decades, that I have a gift, an ability to inspire others. I have worked to hone this craft and have spent my life working to do just that; inspire others. I want to DO MORE; and I know I CAN. Because I believe that all of us have talents, strengths, and gifts that we never fully utilize. I know we can maximize those gifts to change our lives and change the lives of others. I no longer want to sit with this feeling because I’m afraid of what others will think. I am sick and tired of letting my insecurities define my progress. Because I truly believe WE CAN ALL DO BETTER. I don’t want to wonder ANYMORE, “What If?” Almost 4O years of doing that is long enough? Why do I get out of bed in the morning? Why do YOU? Does anyone care? This is why I’m doing this; so that every person that listens feels like they can take something away that can impact their life in a meaningful way. Every person that listens can feel that tug on their heart that says, “ I CAN BE MORE, I CAN DO BETTER, I CAN WRITE MY OWN STORY”. One Great Day At a Time. Our guests will be as varied as their careers, and journeys. My hope is that they INSPIRE YOU to be more, to WIN TODAY!!!!! BE GOOD TO THOSE YOU LOVE, AND LET THEM KNOW YOU LOVE THEM!
