How to get Unstuck and Find New Opportunity
Do you sometimes feel stuck and overwhelmed? Feeling as if there is nothing you can do?
It happens to everybody. You are not alone. However, people who break free understand three things:
1) Everything in life is temporary. Good or bad, nothing last forever.
2) No matter how stuck you feel, there is always more opportunity. More than one person could ever take advantage of in a lifetime.
3) Ev...
How To Be a Good Leader - It's Simple
Is your hair on fire for success?
There's a phrase that sums up what it takes to get whatever you seek.
"The faster the leader's speed, the faster the pack's speed."
It's a simple truth; success likes speed. It's very sexy and desirable to others.
Knowing your goals and taking massive imperfect action always speed up success.
Why?
People get caught up in the belie...
What To Do If You're In A Rut - Nothing?
I live by a mantra that says -
"Almost everything in day-to-day life should be routine. Consistent. Predictable. Between the lines. Boring. But, occasionally, it's good to get out of the box, a little on edge, a bit scared, and excited."
The truth is, you need both. There is also another truth.
Most things that make you happy and successful are pretty mundane — taking care of you...
How to Influence Yourself
Did you know that the power of Influence is ruling your day?
Your subconscious mind is listing. Opinions are formed. Actions begin. It usually happens without your awareness.
The dictionary definition of Influence is; the capacity or power of persons or things to be a compelling force on or produce effects on the actions, behavior, opinions, etc.
The degree of success you have in life results from who influenc...
How to be Happy and Excited Every Day
I love how kids live in the moment while also getting excited about the next fun thing. Maybe it’s time we all begin acting like kids again.
Since you were young, special events excited you enough that sheer anticipation would drive you all day and keep you up at night. Would you like that back in your life?
The trick to harnessing the power of anticipation is to keep a steady stream of exciting ...
Are Your Goals YOUR Goals?
Are you feeling excited to be alive today? It might be an excellent opportunity to become an intentional goal setter.
Goals are the heartbeat of your life.
You will always enjoy pursuing goals that align with the most significant Values. They are tangible expressions of your Values. There's nothing more satisfying.
Goals are also automatic. Others will set them for you if you don't set them for yours...
Three Big Success Principles
Where do you begin when you want success?
What's your first step?
Over 2000 years ago, the philosophy of Stoicism led the way in creating success.
Their lessons still apply today:
1) Clarity. You must see where you are heading. Anything less, and you will spend more time figuring things out than moving forward.
2) Clear The Clutter. Once you know where you are heading, you'll need to make space. F...
Friends Holding You Back
The success and happiness that you have in your life is a direct result of something your Mom was always asking -
Who are your friends?
If they are positive, you will be positive. Are they negative? You will be negative. If they have money, you will have money. Are they broke?
You get my point.
Your life will become exactly like the people that are closest to you. Choose wisely.
Turning Obstacles Into Opportunity
Have you ever wondered how much easier things would be if you didn’t have to think so much?
What if the future or your past didn’t matter?
Imagine if you didn’t worry about the possessions, success, or drama of others.
What would happen if you believed that YOU were in control?
Now you are starting to think like a Stoic Philosopher.
Stoicism is about paring down and simplifying. They eliminate unproduc...
Get Things Done (GTD)
I’m a fan of David Allen’s Getting Things Done. His book spawned an entire industry. It also causes a lot of stress.
A few years ago, David was speaking at a conference, and folks asked how he managed to get things done:
1) Nothing gets done until I process everything. No cheating.
2) I process everything into a single “trusted” place when I have time. Some folks use a journal. Others use software or an app.
3) ...
Specific, Time-based, Goals
It’s the time of the year when people want more success in their life and start setting goals. Frankly, it doesn’t matter if you achieve your goal. The mere act of setting a goal will drive you closer to what you want - but you need to be careful:
1) Goals should be painfully specific. I say “painfully” because most people find difficulty in choosing a particular outcome. They don’t want to limit their opt...
Year-End Success Hacks (Part Two)
Yesterday we spent a few minutes on practical ways to succeed in the future.
Here are a few actions that will provide a HUGE advantage over almost everybody.
Oh, you may not like these no-brainer daily practices - but they will make you a peak performer:

2) E...
Year-End Success Hacks (Part One)
As we move toward the end of the year, how about a bit of motivational tough love?
Before I get going -
No matter what you desire in the future, remember that life and business are about solving problems. The bigger your dreams, the bigger your problems. If you want what nobody else has, you need to solve problems nobody else will.
So, how do you begin with a bang?
1) Decide what you want in the future...
Success at The Highest Level
No matter your life goals, there is a good chance you are striving to be the best at something.
Whether it’s the best Mom or Dad, excelling in your career, or winning at the game or sport of your choice. Being the best always comes down to:
1) Do what you love and are good at naturally. You’ll have the edge over others. Stay in your wheelhouse.
2) Commit your focus toward mastery. Being a Jack-of-all-trades...
Do Anything for 30 Days
Call me crazy, but everything I've ever done had its roots in a 30-day sprint - and it's a long time.
A week is easy, crossing several weekends and life events will make it seem like forever.
Here’s how you do it:
1) Set what Napoleon Hill calls a Major Definite Purpose, otherwise known as a big-ass goal.
2) Stop that silly negative self-talk. Others may throw sticks and stones; don't throw them a...
Another Day Another Chance
Is it me, or does living life these days make you feel like Bill Murray in the movie Groundhog Day?
When it comes to working toward goals, that can be a tremendous asset. It's also something that will break you free when things don't feel like they are going your way.
Everybody has ups and downs. Up days are lots of fun. Down days make you want to crawl under a rock. But like the movie, with the rig...
Operation Reinvention Without a Plan
Last year I made a decision that changed everything about my life.
And no, when I began "Operation Reinvention," I didn't have much of a plan. I wouldn't say I was winging it, but sometimes you have no idea what kind of plan you need. What I did have was a mindset.
I wondered -
"What single change can I make - a change that would automatically and positivity disrupt everything ...
Courage to Be Yourself
It's incredible how many people say they want to be their authentic selves yet are waiting for permission to begin.
Here's the truth:
1) You are already yourself. If you want something different - do it.
2) Nobody is going to give you permission. They are too busy waiting for it themselves.
3) Everything changes the minute you take your first step.
I want to save you lots of time and frustration.
YES. You ...

Instant Better Communication
What if three words could allow you to communicate better and reach your goals faster?
Here’s how to stay on track no matter who wants to pull you off course:
1) When others ask to help them reach their goals, it’s time to agree and defer. For example, say, “Yes, I can help, AND let’s talk about it later when I finish what I’m doing. Watch how folks leave you alone.
2) Inserting the word ‘Yet’ into any con...

If you can never get enough true crime... Congratulations, you’ve found your people.
Bone Valley is a 9-episode true crime podcast. New episodes are available for free every Wednesday. In 1987, 18-year-old Michelle Schofield was found dead in a phosphate pit in Florida. Two years later, her husband Leo was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Fifteen years later, previously unidentified fingerprints matched Jeremy Scott--a violent teenager who lived nearby. Jeremy has since confessed to Michelle’s murder. Yet Leo Schofield remains behind bars. In this groundbreaking podcast, Bone Valley host Gilbert King uncovers startling new evidence that Jeremy is responsible for a string of murders. King is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Devil in the Grove, which led to the exonerations of four innocent men. Bone Valley is a production of Lava for Good Podcasts in association with Signal Co. No1.
