Welcome back to another episode of Deep Dive Dialogues! This week, I’m reflecting on the power of intentionality in life, business, and personal growth. In this episode, I dive into lessons learned from my journey with the 75 Hard Challenge, insights from classic resources like The Strangest Secret and Think and Grow Rich, and the transformative coaching principles from The Prosperous Coach.
I share personal experiences, including how I handle setbacks (like missing a progress photo during 75 Hard), and how I’m choosing to stay intentional during the holiday season. We’ll also explore the importance of removing expectations from relationships and focusing on being present, inspired by Fred Rogers’ timeless wisdom.
If you’ve been struggling with mindset, staying consistent, or building meaningful connections in your coaching business, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways. Plus, I touch on Newton’s Third Law and how what we put out into the world shapes the outcomes we create.
Resources mentioned include The Prosperous Coach, The Strangest Secret, Think and Grow Rich, and more. Tune in to learn how to align your intentions with your goals and make the most of the season.
Until next week, let’s stay focused on intentionality and positivity!

Dan Woerheide (00:00):
Welcome back to another episode of Deep Dive
Dialogues.
I am your host, dan Warheady,and today's episode were able to
enjoy time with family andloved ones and maybe just
friends, and we did all of that.
(00:30):
So it was definitely a week andwe enjoyed.
I enjoyed being able to connectwith people I hadn't seen in a
little while and just to spendtime with some friends and some
family.
What a great week.
But that leads me to part oftoday's conversation, which is
right.
(00:52):
I lacked the prior properplanning for preventing poor
performance We'll just leave theother words out, but poor
performance in this week'spreparation.
So I'm putting together a fewthings a little later in the
process than I would normallylike to sharing beforehand for
(01:28):
recording these episodes, sothat I can have time to think
through the ideas and differentpieces I'll call them that I
want to share with you.
So you know that brings me toone of my points for today.
You know about intentionalityand before I move into that, you
know this podcast episode.
There's going to be severaldifferent points that I wanted
(01:49):
to bring up today.
Again, I put this together alittle later than planned, but
that left me room to generate afew ideas of what I most wanted
to share.
So back to intentionality.
You know I've mentioned in aprevious episode, maybe two,
that I started the 75 HardChallenge and it's been a really
(02:11):
good.
The month of November was areally good month.
I learned quite a few things.
I read way more books thanrequired.
Ten pages a day minimum of anonfiction book physical book,
not audio book was the minimumrequirement for that challenge.
I think I'm on book seven oreight at this point and I've
(02:32):
really been enjoying gettingback in touch with reading,
inspiring creativity and some ofthe other components, pieces,
mindsets even that come alongwith just sitting down and
working towards revisiting orlearning something new.
You know, each time you read abook for example, one of my
go-to books for the coachingbusiness in general is the
(02:57):
Prosperous Coach, written bySteve Chandler and Rich Litvin
Every time I read that I'm ableto pull a slightly different
insight or a new perspective outof the content there.
It changes my context ondifferent things to some extent,
right, but new insights isreally the gold nuggets that are
(03:20):
found when you go back andrevisit previous content, and so
I enjoy the process of beingable to do that.
You know some other ways that Ihave been intentional.
That led me the process of 75Hard, led me to reflecting on
some previous experiences.
(03:42):
So I used to be in a communitywith the late Dan Miller, author
of 48 Days to the Work and Lifeyou Love.
He was a great coach, a greatmentor, and one of the things he
encouraged in that community,about the same time of year
actually, was to he challengedpeople to go and listen to the
Strangest Secret by EarlNightingale and he challenged
(04:05):
them to listen to that audio andor watch that video on YouTube
for 30 days successivelySuccessively, I think, is the
word, but 40 days and 30 days inconcessions, goodness gracious,
30 days in succession.
(04:25):
So you know, each day, takingthat 32 minutes or so out of
your day to focus on somethingintentional and in this case
there's a lot of talk aboutbeing intentional about the way
we carry ourselves in ourday-to-day interactions and how
(04:48):
we can create the physicaloutcomes from the ideas and the
creativity that comes to us andhow that works.
So if you've never listened toit, I certainly encourage you to
listen to it.
So if you've never listened toit, I certainly encourage you to
listen to it.
I also have reread Think andGrow Rich, which sort of ties
(05:28):
into the same, and eliminatingthose potential negative
thoughts that come up on aregular basis.
In fact, in the StrangestSecret there's a 30-day
challenge that he talks aboutthat incorporates restarting
when you find yourself battlingwith those negative thoughts.
So I'd like to consider myselffortunate that when and if they
(05:50):
come up because they always comeup right it's much easier for
us to travel down a negativethinking pattern than it is for
us to remain on the positivethinking side of things, and so
when they come up, I'm able toaddress them or put them out,
put them to the side withoutmuch difficulty.
So that's one of theintentional practices that I've
(06:12):
been incorporating lately andI'm going to be honest, I was at
.
I have to go back and look at mycalendar.
It's been a couple of days now,but I fell off of the 75 hard
program, and for probably one ofthe simplest reasons.
In fact, a friend of mine hadtold me beforehand that that's
one to watch out for.
(06:32):
So I have been.
You know, I told youThanksgiving week was really
busy week for us, for me and thepeople in my community, my
circles, and I was really tiredat the end of a day.
I went and did my outdoorworkout late in the evening and
came home and took a shower andI just wanted to rest, I'm going
(06:54):
to be honest.
So I completely forgot abouttaking my daily progress photo
and, yeah, I could have put itoff and I could have, you know,
hidden that from the worldbecause you don't have a
requirement to share them withanybody.
But it comes back to thatthought of positivity and what I
(07:15):
most want to create in theworld for me and those around me
, and that that that progressphoto got the best of me.
So I woke up the next morningand I realized it and I was like
, oh no, but some great thingshave come of it, right?
We're moving into the Christmasor holiday season, whatever you
prefer.
I call it Christmas.
We're moving into the Christmasseason and I decided that I'm
(07:38):
not going to restart right now.
I'm going to incorporate orcontinue to work some of the
practices that I have beenenjoying as a part of that
challenge or that process, butI'm not going to restart.
I'm going to take a moment tobe able to enjoy some of the
festivities and activitiesaround the holiday season for me
(08:00):
and the people in my circles.
I would like to have a glass ofchampagne on New Year's and if
I had continued 75 hard, itwould have been mid-January
before I could partake.
I'd like to have a glass ofwine with my Christmas dinner.
I did not have any wine oralcohol whatsoever through
(08:21):
Thanksgiving.
If that gives you any indication, it's been very recent at the
time of this recording that Ifailed to do that photo, so I
stayed true to the entireprocess throughout the duration.
So I intend to continue to readon a daily basis at least.
I love the idea of a minimum of10 pages.
(08:42):
That way, even when you'rehaving a busy day, just being
able to take that time and sitwith yourself right, reading and
consuming something positive orsomething that's going to
contribute to my own growth isbeneficial.
I know that and I've realizedthat, and I'm so glad to
reconnect to that process.
So I'm going to stick with the10 pages a day at a minimum.
(09:04):
I'm also going to stick withworking out in the interim for
seven days a week, but only onetime a day instead of twice a
day.
Whether I work out outside orinside is dependent on what's
going on for me that day and,I'll be honest, it's cold here
in Florida right now and theidea of going outside for an
(09:26):
exercise is not the mostappealing, but it depends, again
, on what's going on for me thatday.
So I have the option and I dointend to continue to work out
seven days a week.
For now.
I do intend potentially in thefuture, once I've reached a
couple goals that I have set forme personally, to potentially
(09:49):
draw back to five or six days aweek, and on some of those days
between now and then, I dointend to take a second activity
, for some of those days may gofor a walk outside and just
enjoy that, because I reallyenjoyed going out, throwing my
AirPods in and consuming somepodcasts that I haven't been
(10:12):
able to keep up with consuming,so listening to the 32 minutes
of audio, the you know thestrangest secret that was during
my walk time, and so I've gotto shift some things around to
ensure I'm still doing thatdaily.
Anyway, there's a few of thethings that I'm being
intentional about, and I'llshift now into some other ideas
(10:35):
I wanted to share with you today.
Up until this point, I've reallyfocused on a couple things for
you in your coaching or yourconsulting business or your
online creator space, whateverit may be for you.
But really I'm speaking more topeople like me as coaches, and
(10:59):
I've started talking about youknow where to start and building
your business and how.
I believe we often start in thewrong place.
We often start with thatwebsite or branding and getting
the business cards and puttingall the marketing pieces in
place, and I think we'resupposed to not supposed to
(11:20):
might be a strong.
I think it's much better tofirst get clear on why it is
you're in business, why it isyou want to be a coach, why it
is you want to coach others someof those things and if you go
back to some previous episodes,you'll hear what I've laid out
on those ideas.
And then we've talked aboutconnecting with others and I did
(11:44):
want to add some more of mylessons from this year around
that, and I hope that I'm ableto convey this clearly.
I wanted to start with one ofthe lessons actually, that I've
learned this year in relation toall of the things I'm doing.
So the coaching business andconnecting with people and
(12:06):
producing this podcast is agreat example, and this came up
this morning in I participate Ithink I've told you here before
I participate in a podcastingmorning chat.
It's hosted by EmpoweredPodcasting and Mark Ronickonick
of ironic media.
He's a great host.
We walk through a lot ofdifferent topics, not solely
(12:28):
focused on podcasting, butgenerally focused on podcasting,
and this year, or this year,this morning we talked about one
of the you know what, what weresome of the lessons or what was
one lesson that you've carriedaway from this year as it
relates to your business or topodcasting, and for me, I shared
(12:50):
that it was really abouteliminating any expectation for
a particular outcome.
Right, so let's start with thispodcast.
My sole focus for this podcastwas to produce consistent
content for myself.
I'll say that again.
(13:11):
I wanted to build this podcastand focus on producing
consistent content for me, notnecessarily in this episode or
any of the episodes generallyspeaking, but the show as a
whole.
Right, I used to have, in otherpodcasts, a desired outcome
from creating that content.
I always felt the need to usemy podcast to sell something
(13:36):
versus being able to sharewhat's on my heart or my mind.
On my heart or my mind, and youknow, I had the intent of
creating content in a way thatwas going to be most appealing
for the audience I wanted toserve, versus what I'm doing now
, which is creating this contentfor me.
I'm working on a mindset that Ihad around creative experiences
(14:01):
and, specifically, writer'sblock, if you will.
The ideas, the creation flow.
Those are the things that Iwanted to work on.
So this podcast is again for meto create content consistently
that I enjoy.
I want to enjoy the process ofcreating it.
I want to enjoy the process ofproducing it, editing it, which
(14:23):
I do very little editing.
You probably have heard that bynow, but I don't like to spend
a lot of time on that.
Instead, I want to focus onimproving for me and, in turn, I
hope that it's something that'sbeneficial for others.
That's why I do publish it forconsumption, but that's not the
goal.
(14:45):
Why I do publish it forconsumption, but that's not the
goal.
The goal isn't to increase mydownload numbers.
The goal isn't to grow myaudience.
Or there's no expectation, oror does desires is the wrong
word, but there's no attachmentthat's the word I'm looking for
to creating new clients as aresult of producing this show.
I'm certainly not going to turnany of those things away, but
(15:09):
for me, it's about removingthose expectations and focusing
solely on the process andenjoying the process of doing
this, because I wanted thepodcast to be something I enjoy,
not something that I felt I hadto show up and do for any other
reason.
So by focusing on enjoying it,I'm able to be a bit more
(15:30):
creative in the ideas and thethings that I share and, you
know, I'm more in tune with thequestions that people are asking
me because I know that I canshare that with others, I can
speak that with others, I canspeak more about them and
practice that aspect of it.
But, again, I hope that it isalso beneficial to other people,
(15:55):
not the expectation that you'regoing to take any specific
action or that you're going tocall me and say, ok, dan, I have
to work with you because thisis what you said going to call
me and say, okay, dan, I have towork with you because this is
what you said.
If you want to call me or youwant to reach out to me, I'm
absolutely not going to turn youaway.
Here's the thing, right, this issomething else I've been
(16:16):
working on is, you know, I'vecalled myself a transformation
coach because I have, you know,an eclectic taste for coaching.
I have an eclectic backgroundand an eclectic work experience,
life experience and there's anumber of topics that I can and
desire to coach on, but at theend of the day, I thought about
this I'm a life coach period.
If you are live some of you aregoing to frown or cringe when I
(16:41):
say this but if you are live,then potentially I can coach you
Now can I?
I don't know, because I don'tknow what you're facing and I
don't know if you bring to thetable something that I don't
have experience with.
But until we have a connectionand a conversation and we talk
about some of those things, Iwon't know, and you might not
(17:03):
know, if I'm able to be the oneto serve you.
I got way off track with thatthought, but the idea really is
that I'm a life coach at the endof the day.
There are several areas inwhich I bring additional
experience and expertise to thatcould potentially benefit
someone, but really, andexpertise to that could
potentially benefit someone, butreally, when you think about it
(17:24):
as a coach.
This is what I wanted tocommunicate that there are 8
billion people in this world andyou know we talk about niching
down and and being specific in ain a one way or another.
And again I'll say this, thatthere's nothing wrong with that.
If that comes to you or youhave that niche, absolutely
pursue it.
(17:44):
But if you're struggling toidentify what that is for you,
don't stress over it.
There are 8 billion people inthe world and people want most
of them want one or two, if notboth, of the following they want
to feel better and or achievemore.
Eight billion people in theworld most of them, I would
(18:08):
argue want to feel better and orachieve more.
Now you can take that a numberof ways right.
Do they want to achieve more intheir business?
Do they want to achieve more intheir personal life?
Do they want to achieve more intheir personal fitness journey?
You know, there's a number ofthings that could come up and I
can talk with someone and workwith someone on a number of
(18:29):
things within either of thoserealms, if you want to feel
better or you want to achievemore.
So there's something to thinkabout.
Anyway, I digress.
So this podcast is aboutcreating content that I enjoy,
and the process of creating thepodcast is something I want to
love and enjoy.
(18:49):
So that's why I'm here.
My work is the same that thatperson, that human in front of
me or on the other side of thenetwork I happen to be on, is
ever going to become a client ofmine.
(19:09):
And I'll tell you that was agame changer for me when one of
my coaches pointed that out tome.
I was struggling with who toconnect with and the reason I
was struggling is because I hadto attach this expectation of I
want to create a client withthis kind of person and that
(19:33):
really held me back from justsimply connecting with people
and learning about them andloving on them as people and as
true connections that I value,versus some sort of commoditized
relationship.
And when I removed I hope thatyou'll see the point here when I
(19:56):
say you, but when I removed theexpectation from those
connections of any desiredoutcome, of creating a with
other people, with that person,I don't want to be too ambiguous
(20:31):
.
When we look at things tooambiguously it also can become
challenging person, oneindividual, one conversation at
a time, with no expectation ofany particular outcome other
than am I staying true to me andthe process that I desire to
pursue?
(20:52):
And the process that I desireto pursue is to build
relationships with people and ifthose people have challenges
that they bring up in theconfidence of our conversations,
then it may shift to a placewhere I ask them if they'd like
to discuss or dig into that alittle deeper.
Would you like to set aside alittle bit of time to talk
(21:14):
through that?
In fact, I had a conversationwith a pastor the other day who
I won't share any specificsnecessarily, but I had a
conversation with a pastor theother day who was telling me
that you know, building acoaching business coming from
the pastoral world for him'dlike to set aside some time
separate from this conversation.
(21:35):
I'd be happy to sit down withyou and talk through that and
see what we could potentiallybrainstorm.
Is that something you'd beinterested in potentially
(22:02):
brainstorm?
Is that something you'd beinterested in?
Again, there's no expectationsand I laid it out, of course,
that there was no expectationsfor this person as well, that
you'll ever become a payingclient of mine.
I'd just be happy to sit downand brainstorm this with you and
, you know, see what we can doto help you work through this
challenge.
And that's kind of where Iwanted to go today was with the
(22:23):
next phase, next step, of theProsperous Coach method to
building your prosperouscoaching business, and that's
moving from connections toinvitations.
I just gave you a real worldexample of what that could look
like.
I was in a connection call withsomeone.
We were having a goodconversation.
(22:45):
He happened to bring up achallenge that resonated with me
.
It was something that intriguesme and I threw it on the table.
That you know.
Hey, if you would be interestedin setting up a time separate
from this conversation, I'd loveto brainstorm that with you.
There's no expectation thatyou'll ever become a client, but
if that's something you'd liketo talk about, then what do you
(23:09):
think?
And we're working on gettingsomething on the books.
So, not attached to whetherthat happens, not attached to
the outcomes from thatconversation, to the outcomes
from that conversation, I amattached to the process of being
in relationships with peopleand listening, practicing my
listening skills.
You know that's something thatI think we all benefit from,
(23:35):
regardless of your work,regardless of the intentionality
of the things that you're doing.
If you can practice listeningmore, you can always build
better relationships throughthose skills.
Let's see, I had a couple otherthings that I was going to go on
and share with you.
I'm recognizing how long I'vedrawn this out already.
(23:55):
So I talked about theconnections.
I talked about a real-worldexample of how to move from
connecting to inviting, and thencreating would be the next
phase and then proposing.
But we can talk about those infuture episodes.
You know, before I move on, it'soccurred to me the movie Gosh.
(24:18):
I forget the name of it at themoment.
I could take a moment and lookit up, but in fact I'm going to
do that right now.
Let me just pop open a webbrowser here.
Let me look this up reallyquickly.
The movie with Fred Rogers.
Why can't I remember it rightnow?
Fred Rogers movie.
It was about the life of FredRogers, a beautiful day in the
(24:46):
neighborhood.
I don't know why, I didn't knowthat off the top of my head,
but, yeah, what a, what anexcellent portrayal of how to be
in the presence of other people.
There is a particular point inthat movie where he tells the
gentleman who's the reportercontacting him.
He he said do you know what?
And I forget the gentleman'sname in the movie, but do you
know what?
Do you know who the mostimportant person to me is right
(25:10):
now?
It's you, because I am talkingto you, something to that effect
.
And what a great example realworld how to really be present
with other people.
And I think we get so busy inour lives and in our work and we
get caught up in the thingsthat we want to or need to do
(25:32):
and I'll come to the needy partin a second but we get so
wrapped up in all of thesethings that it's really easy for
us to forget to listen, forgetto be present.
You know, when someone asks usa question or we ask someone
else a question, rather as acoach, when you ask someone a
question, you know if you'rereally busy or you're focused on
(25:55):
a specific outcome, then it maybe really easy for you to jump
into your head and startthinking about the next question
you're going to ask, instead oftruly listening to the answer
and being present with theperson in front of you.
Whether they're online, on thephone, it doesn't matter.
Being present with that personis super important to creating
(26:18):
genuine relationships, and thoserelationships, by the way, with
no expectation for any specificoutcome, can go a long way.
So let me jump back over to mylittle simple list of notes here
, because I did want to talkabout that a little bit more.
Those relationships can havefar-reaching impacts right
(26:42):
beyond the benefit of yourcoaching business, beyond the
benefit of my coaching business.
You know those relationshipscould be much more.
They can be.
You know they might notdirectly want to or need maybe
(27:02):
to pursue what you're people asa resource for something that
they need.
Being able to provide you as acoach or a resource for
(27:26):
something that someone elseneeds what a great testament to
being able to show up and bepresent for people.
That's probably the number oneway to express gratitude or to
receive gratitude is torecognize that if someone takes
the time to refer someone elseto you, that is a tremendous
(27:50):
statement about who you are andhow you've shown up for that
person.
Whether you've worked with themdirectly or not.
It's the relationship.
And so, nidhi, I did say Iwanted to come back to that for
a second, because here's thething right If we show up with a
specific outcome of needing tocreate an income for our
(28:15):
business and that's the reasonwe're in a conversation with
someone business, and that's thereason we're in a conversation
with someone the truth is theycan feel that, they can sense
that neediness and it feels kindof we'll call it creepy.
It feels kind of creepy, and ifyou've ever experienced this,
you'll know what I mean.
If you show up with thatexpectation, and so here's what
I would say and what has beensaid to me right, if you're in
(28:38):
that place of needing to createa client out of this
conversation, or needing tocreate an income from this
particular perspective client,then I would encourage you to
find an alternate means ofproducing the income that you
(28:58):
need, so that you can work onbeing present and producing the
income you desire by being ableto truly connect and engage with
these people that may becomeclients in the future.
If you don't need to turn aprofit from a coaching
(29:19):
conversation or from aconnection conversation with
someone, it's much easier tofall in love with the process.
It's much easier to be presentwith that individual, focused on
who they are and how they'reshowing up in the world, versus
what's the next question I canask to impress them or how am I
(29:39):
going to approach the salesconversation with this person.
There's a couple differentaspects that you can look at,
but it's much more beneficial ifyou don't need something from
them and they don't feel thatyou need something from them.
(30:00):
It's much easier to create asafe space where both of you can
enjoy the process of connectingand learning about each other
and naturally progressing into aplace where, if there's a
challenge, you can reach out andtalk about that challenge with
them.
So let's see here.
(30:22):
I came across this Facebook posttoday.
Oddly enough, of all places Iwas just scrolling, I'm helping
to administrate a large groupfor podcasters that we're
working on shifting the focus of, and I'll say that that is
proving to be interesting,intriguing, keeps me curious
(30:44):
about what works, what won'twork, and working on creating
more engagement there.
But as a result, I ended upscrolling a little bit on
Facebook this morning and I cameacross this post and it said no
money, november was a success,dead broke.
December is about to be poppingand I took some notes on this
(31:07):
because it was fascinating to me.
I wrote down a few things here.
So the first one is this thinghad over 87,000 reactions and I
broke down like this there were50,000 likes, 35,000 laughing
emojis, or whatever you want tocall them, and then the heart
(31:28):
emojis right, 1.3 thousand lovesor heart emojis.
It got beyond that.
There were only 338 thatexpressed the sad emoji, 265
that expressed the care or thehugging emoji.
I don't know if I'm even closeto accurately describing those.
(31:52):
122 expressed the surpriseemoji, or that's how I call it,
and there were seven, only seven, who expressed that angry emoji
.
It is a result of this post nomoney.
November was a success and deadbroke.
December is about to be popping.
Well, I immediately sent that toa friend of mine who has
(32:13):
devoted a bunch of time andenergy into the world of
financial coaching and, as youknow, if you've heard me talk
before I did come, that's how Istarted in coaching officially,
so to speak, was as a financialcoach and I have a vested
interest in seeing people thrivein that part of their world.
But I sent it to a friend ofmine because I know that she
(32:37):
would resonate with thatparticular post and all of the
things I was able to read fromthat.
And I'm not trying to read toomuch into what all these
reactions necessarily mean, butit was curious to me and what it
said to me is what I sharedwith you earlier.
Right, there's 8 billion peoplein the world and most of them
(32:58):
want to feel better or achievemore, and in this one Facebook
post there were 87,000 reactionstelling me that there are
potentially 87,000 people whowant to talk about, or could
benefit from having aconversation about, how to
improve their financial healthso very intriguing to me and I
(33:24):
talked about the Napoleon Hilland focusing on the strangest
secret and the book Think andGrow Rich shared with you a few
of the things that I'm thinkingon and some of the beliefs that
I'm working with right now,right, ensuring that I'm
reinforcing positive beliefs.
(33:44):
In fact, I don't remember if Ishared this in part of an
episode or if I meant to sharethis in part of an episode, but
that's probably the thought thatI'll leave you with for today.
I realize that I've rambled alittle bit, but the thought that
I want to leave you with todayis something else that was
shared in the Strangest Secretand in Think and Grow Rich, and
(34:05):
that's the laws, the laws ofnature.
I looked up Newton's third law,so I recently had the idea of
pursuing the relationshipbetween business growth and
coaching growth to Newton's laws.
In fact, I did share this in mylast episode, but it's worth
(34:26):
sharing again.
Every action has an equal andopposite reaction, and what we
put out into the world,therefore, is a law that we
receive from the world, and toturn that inward.
If we focus on negative things,negative thoughts, then we
(34:49):
produce our own negativeoutcomes.
Contrarily, if we is that aword.
Contrarily, on the other sideof that, if we focus on positive
thoughts and positiveintentions, we produce positive
outcomes for ourselves and forthose around us.
So I'm going to encourage youtoday to keep that in mind as
(35:13):
you move through this holidayseason and into the beginning of
2025.
Focus on the positive outcomesthat you would like to see in
your business and in your lifeand work on tuning out the
negative thoughts, negativebeliefs, that will come up in
(35:33):
the process.
And really, I hope that thisyear has been everything you'd
hoped it would be and that Ihope you're focused on
generating positive outcomes forthe beginning of 2025 and for
the remainder of this year forthat matter.
Don't let up just because we'removing into the holiday season.
(35:53):
There are people that need youand what you have to offer, that
need you and what you have tooffer.
I'll close on this that thispodcast.
I talked a good bit today aboutwhat this podcast is, how it
came about, my focus andintention for this podcast, and
one of the things that I did notshare was my belief that we
(36:17):
have an obligation, you have anobligation.
We have an obligation, you havean obligation.
I have an obligation to sharethe messages that I have.
I would normally hold on to,maybe, but share the message
that's inside of us with otherpeople, because if we don't and
this is the reason that I'mpublishing this podcast and the
hope that it may benefit someoneelse the reason comes down to,
(36:41):
if we don't do the work ofsharing that unique message that
each of you, each of us, hasinside of us, then we are
depriving someone else ofsomething they desperately
needed to hear, something theydesperately needed in their life
today.
So I encourage you to continueto connect with other people, to
(37:04):
focus on listening, to focus oncreating those positive
intentions and feeding yourselfwith positive thoughts and the
resulting positive outcomes that, by law, will come from those
things that, by law, will comefrom those things.
Until next week, I hope thatyou'll do everything you can
(37:28):
with intention and positivity.
Welcome back to another episode of Deep Dive
Dialogues.
I am your host, dan Warheady,and today's episode were able to
enjoy time with family andloved ones and maybe just
friends, and we did all of that.
(00:30):
So it was definitely a week andwe enjoyed.
I enjoyed being able to connectwith people I hadn't seen in a
little while and just to spendtime with some friends and some
family.
What a great week.
But that leads me to part oftoday's conversation, which is
right.
(00:52):
I lacked the prior properplanning for preventing poor
performance We'll just leave theother words out, but poor
performance in this week'spreparation.
So I'm putting together a fewthings a little later in the
process than I would normallylike to sharing beforehand for
(01:28):
recording these episodes, sothat I can have time to think
through the ideas and differentpieces I'll call them that I
want to share with you.
So you know that brings me toone of my points for today.
You know about intentionalityand before I move into that, you
know this podcast episode.
There's going to be severaldifferent points that I wanted
(01:49):
to bring up today.
Again, I put this together alittle later than planned, but
that left me room to generate afew ideas of what I most wanted
to share.
So back to intentionality.
You know I've mentioned in aprevious episode, maybe two,
that I started the 75 HardChallenge and it's been a really
(02:11):
good.
The month of November was areally good month.
I learned quite a few things.
I read way more books thanrequired.
Ten pages a day minimum of anonfiction book physical book,
not audio book was the minimumrequirement for that challenge.
I think I'm on book seven oreight at this point and I've
(02:32):
really been enjoying gettingback in touch with reading,
inspiring creativity and some ofthe other components, pieces,
mindsets even that come alongwith just sitting down and
working towards revisiting orlearning something new.
You know, each time you read abook for example, one of my
go-to books for the coachingbusiness in general is the
(02:57):
Prosperous Coach, written bySteve Chandler and Rich Litvin
Every time I read that I'm ableto pull a slightly different
insight or a new perspective outof the content there.
It changes my context ondifferent things to some extent,
right, but new insights isreally the gold nuggets that are
(03:20):
found when you go back andrevisit previous content, and so
I enjoy the process of beingable to do that.
You know some other ways that Ihave been intentional.
That led me the process of 75Hard, led me to reflecting on
some previous experiences.
(03:42):
So I used to be in a communitywith the late Dan Miller, author
of 48 Days to the Work and Lifeyou Love.
He was a great coach, a greatmentor, and one of the things he
encouraged in that community,about the same time of year
actually, was to he challengedpeople to go and listen to the
Strangest Secret by EarlNightingale and he challenged
(04:05):
them to listen to that audio andor watch that video on YouTube
for 30 days successivelySuccessively, I think, is the
word, but 40 days and 30 days inconcessions, goodness gracious,
30 days in succession.
(04:25):
So you know, each day, takingthat 32 minutes or so out of
your day to focus on somethingintentional and in this case
there's a lot of talk aboutbeing intentional about the way
we carry ourselves in ourday-to-day interactions and how
(04:48):
we can create the physicaloutcomes from the ideas and the
creativity that comes to us andhow that works.
So if you've never listened toit, I certainly encourage you to
listen to it.
So if you've never listened toit, I certainly encourage you to
listen to it.
I also have reread Think andGrow Rich, which sort of ties
(05:28):
into the same, and eliminatingthose potential negative
thoughts that come up on aregular basis.
In fact, in the StrangestSecret there's a 30-day
challenge that he talks aboutthat incorporates restarting
when you find yourself battlingwith those negative thoughts.
So I'd like to consider myselffortunate that when and if they
(05:50):
come up because they always comeup right it's much easier for
us to travel down a negativethinking pattern than it is for
us to remain on the positivethinking side of things, and so
when they come up, I'm able toaddress them or put them out,
put them to the side withoutmuch difficulty.
So that's one of theintentional practices that I've
(06:12):
been incorporating lately andI'm going to be honest, I was at
.
I have to go back and look at mycalendar.
It's been a couple of days now,but I fell off of the 75 hard
program, and for probably one ofthe simplest reasons.
In fact, a friend of mine hadtold me beforehand that that's
one to watch out for.
(06:32):
So I have been.
You know, I told youThanksgiving week was really
busy week for us, for me and thepeople in my community, my
circles, and I was really tiredat the end of a day.
I went and did my outdoorworkout late in the evening and
came home and took a shower andI just wanted to rest, I'm going
(06:54):
to be honest.
So I completely forgot abouttaking my daily progress photo
and, yeah, I could have put itoff and I could have, you know,
hidden that from the worldbecause you don't have a
requirement to share them withanybody.
But it comes back to thatthought of positivity and what I
(07:15):
most want to create in theworld for me and those around me
, and that that that progressphoto got the best of me.
So I woke up the next morningand I realized it and I was like
, oh no, but some great thingshave come of it, right?
We're moving into the Christmasor holiday season, whatever you
prefer.
I call it Christmas.
We're moving into the Christmasseason and I decided that I'm
(07:38):
not going to restart right now.
I'm going to incorporate orcontinue to work some of the
practices that I have beenenjoying as a part of that
challenge or that process, butI'm not going to restart.
I'm going to take a moment tobe able to enjoy some of the
festivities and activitiesaround the holiday season for me
(08:00):
and the people in my circles.
I would like to have a glass ofchampagne on New Year's and if
I had continued 75 hard, itwould have been mid-January
before I could partake.
I'd like to have a glass ofwine with my Christmas dinner.
I did not have any wine oralcohol whatsoever through
(08:21):
Thanksgiving.
If that gives you any indication, it's been very recent at the
time of this recording that Ifailed to do that photo, so I
stayed true to the entireprocess throughout the duration.
So I intend to continue to readon a daily basis at least.
I love the idea of a minimum of10 pages.
(08:42):
That way, even when you'rehaving a busy day, just being
able to take that time and sitwith yourself right, reading and
consuming something positive orsomething that's going to
contribute to my own growth isbeneficial.
I know that and I've realizedthat, and I'm so glad to
reconnect to that process.
So I'm going to stick with the10 pages a day at a minimum.
(09:04):
I'm also going to stick withworking out in the interim for
seven days a week, but only onetime a day instead of twice a
day.
Whether I work out outside orinside is dependent on what's
going on for me that day and,I'll be honest, it's cold here
in Florida right now and theidea of going outside for an
(09:26):
exercise is not the mostappealing, but it depends, again
, on what's going on for me thatday.
So I have the option and I dointend to continue to work out
seven days a week.
For now.
I do intend potentially in thefuture, once I've reached a
couple goals that I have set forme personally, to potentially
(09:49):
draw back to five or six days aweek, and on some of those days
between now and then, I dointend to take a second activity
, for some of those days may gofor a walk outside and just
enjoy that, because I reallyenjoyed going out, throwing my
AirPods in and consuming somepodcasts that I haven't been
(10:12):
able to keep up with consuming,so listening to the 32 minutes
of audio, the you know thestrangest secret that was during
my walk time, and so I've gotto shift some things around to
ensure I'm still doing thatdaily.
Anyway, there's a few of thethings that I'm being
intentional about, and I'llshift now into some other ideas
(10:35):
I wanted to share with you today.
Up until this point, I've reallyfocused on a couple things for
you in your coaching or yourconsulting business or your
online creator space, whateverit may be for you.
But really I'm speaking more topeople like me as coaches, and
(10:59):
I've started talking about youknow where to start and building
your business and how.
I believe we often start in thewrong place.
We often start with thatwebsite or branding and getting
the business cards and puttingall the marketing pieces in
place, and I think we'resupposed to not supposed to
(11:20):
might be a strong.
I think it's much better tofirst get clear on why it is
you're in business, why it isyou want to be a coach, why it
is you want to coach others someof those things and if you go
back to some previous episodes,you'll hear what I've laid out
on those ideas.
And then we've talked aboutconnecting with others and I did
(11:44):
want to add some more of mylessons from this year around
that, and I hope that I'm ableto convey this clearly.
I wanted to start with one ofthe lessons actually, that I've
learned this year in relation toall of the things I'm doing.
So the coaching business andconnecting with people and
(12:06):
producing this podcast is agreat example, and this came up
this morning in I participate Ithink I've told you here before
I participate in a podcastingmorning chat.
It's hosted by EmpoweredPodcasting and Mark Ronickonick
of ironic media.
He's a great host.
We walk through a lot ofdifferent topics, not solely
(12:28):
focused on podcasting, butgenerally focused on podcasting,
and this year, or this year,this morning we talked about one
of the you know what, what weresome of the lessons or what was
one lesson that you've carriedaway from this year as it
relates to your business or topodcasting, and for me, I shared
(12:50):
that it was really abouteliminating any expectation for
a particular outcome.
Right, so let's start with thispodcast.
My sole focus for this podcastwas to produce consistent
content for myself.
I'll say that again.
(13:11):
I wanted to build this podcastand focus on producing
consistent content for me, notnecessarily in this episode or
any of the episodes generallyspeaking, but the show as a
whole.
Right, I used to have, in otherpodcasts, a desired outcome
from creating that content.
I always felt the need to usemy podcast to sell something
(13:36):
versus being able to sharewhat's on my heart or my mind.
On my heart or my mind, and youknow, I had the intent of
creating content in a way thatwas going to be most appealing
for the audience I wanted toserve, versus what I'm doing now
, which is creating this contentfor me.
I'm working on a mindset that Ihad around creative experiences
(14:01):
and, specifically, writer'sblock, if you will.
The ideas, the creation flow.
Those are the things that Iwanted to work on.
So this podcast is again for meto create content consistently
that I enjoy.
I want to enjoy the process ofcreating it.
I want to enjoy the process ofproducing it, editing it, which
(14:23):
I do very little editing.
You probably have heard that bynow, but I don't like to spend
a lot of time on that.
Instead, I want to focus onimproving for me and, in turn, I
hope that it's something that'sbeneficial for others.
That's why I do publish it forconsumption, but that's not the
goal.
(14:45):
Why I do publish it forconsumption, but that's not the
goal.
The goal isn't to increase mydownload numbers.
The goal isn't to grow myaudience.
Or there's no expectation, oror does desires is the wrong
word, but there's no attachmentthat's the word I'm looking for
to creating new clients as aresult of producing this show.
I'm certainly not going to turnany of those things away, but
(15:09):
for me, it's about removingthose expectations and focusing
solely on the process andenjoying the process of doing
this, because I wanted thepodcast to be something I enjoy,
not something that I felt I hadto show up and do for any other
reason.
So by focusing on enjoying it,I'm able to be a bit more
(15:30):
creative in the ideas and thethings that I share and, you
know, I'm more in tune with thequestions that people are asking
me because I know that I canshare that with others, I can
speak that with others, I canspeak more about them and
practice that aspect of it.
But, again, I hope that it isalso beneficial to other people,
(15:55):
not the expectation that you'regoing to take any specific
action or that you're going tocall me and say, ok, dan, I have
to work with you because thisis what you said going to call
me and say, okay, dan, I have towork with you because this is
what you said.
If you want to call me or youwant to reach out to me, I'm
absolutely not going to turn youaway.
Here's the thing, right, this issomething else I've been
(16:16):
working on is, you know, I'vecalled myself a transformation
coach because I have, you know,an eclectic taste for coaching.
I have an eclectic backgroundand an eclectic work experience,
life experience and there's anumber of topics that I can and
desire to coach on, but at theend of the day, I thought about
this I'm a life coach period.
If you are live some of you aregoing to frown or cringe when I
(16:41):
say this but if you are live,then potentially I can coach you
Now can I?
I don't know, because I don'tknow what you're facing and I
don't know if you bring to thetable something that I don't
have experience with.
But until we have a connectionand a conversation and we talk
about some of those things, Iwon't know, and you might not
(17:03):
know, if I'm able to be the oneto serve you.
I got way off track with thatthought, but the idea really is
that I'm a life coach at the endof the day.
There are several areas inwhich I bring additional
experience and expertise to thatcould potentially benefit
someone, but really, andexpertise to that could
potentially benefit someone, butreally, when you think about it
(17:24):
as a coach.
This is what I wanted tocommunicate that there are 8
billion people in this world andyou know we talk about niching
down and and being specific in ain a one way or another.
And again I'll say this, thatthere's nothing wrong with that.
If that comes to you or youhave that niche, absolutely
pursue it.
(17:44):
But if you're struggling toidentify what that is for you,
don't stress over it.
There are 8 billion people inthe world and people want most
of them want one or two, if notboth, of the following they want
to feel better and or achievemore.
Eight billion people in theworld most of them, I would
(18:08):
argue want to feel better and orachieve more.
Now you can take that a numberof ways right.
Do they want to achieve more intheir business?
Do they want to achieve more intheir personal life?
Do they want to achieve more intheir personal fitness journey?
You know, there's a number ofthings that could come up and I
can talk with someone and workwith someone on a number of
(18:29):
things within either of thoserealms, if you want to feel
better or you want to achievemore.
So there's something to thinkabout.
Anyway, I digress.
So this podcast is aboutcreating content that I enjoy,
and the process of creating thepodcast is something I want to
love and enjoy.
(18:49):
So that's why I'm here.
My work is the same that thatperson, that human in front of
me or on the other side of thenetwork I happen to be on, is
ever going to become a client ofmine.
(19:09):
And I'll tell you that was agame changer for me when one of
my coaches pointed that out tome.
I was struggling with who toconnect with and the reason I
was struggling is because I hadto attach this expectation of I
want to create a client withthis kind of person and that
(19:33):
really held me back from justsimply connecting with people
and learning about them andloving on them as people and as
true connections that I value,versus some sort of commoditized
relationship.
And when I removed I hope thatyou'll see the point here when I
(19:56):
say you, but when I removed theexpectation from those
connections of any desiredoutcome, of creating a with
other people, with that person,I don't want to be too ambiguous
(20:31):
.
When we look at things tooambiguously it also can become
challenging person, oneindividual, one conversation at
a time, with no expectation ofany particular outcome other
than am I staying true to me andthe process that I desire to
pursue?
(20:52):
And the process that I desireto pursue is to build
relationships with people and ifthose people have challenges
that they bring up in theconfidence of our conversations,
then it may shift to a placewhere I ask them if they'd like
to discuss or dig into that alittle deeper.
Would you like to set aside alittle bit of time to talk
(21:14):
through that?
In fact, I had a conversationwith a pastor the other day who
I won't share any specificsnecessarily, but I had a
conversation with a pastor theother day who was telling me
that you know, building acoaching business coming from
the pastoral world for him'dlike to set aside some time
separate from this conversation.
(21:35):
I'd be happy to sit down withyou and talk through that and
see what we could potentiallybrainstorm.
Is that something you'd beinterested in potentially
(22:02):
brainstorm?
Is that something you'd beinterested in?
Again, there's no expectationsand I laid it out, of course,
that there was no expectationsfor this person as well, that
you'll ever become a payingclient of mine.
I'd just be happy to sit downand brainstorm this with you and
, you know, see what we can doto help you work through this
challenge.
And that's kind of where Iwanted to go today was with the
(22:23):
next phase, next step, of theProsperous Coach method to
building your prosperouscoaching business, and that's
moving from connections toinvitations.
I just gave you a real worldexample of what that could look
like.
I was in a connection call withsomeone.
We were having a goodconversation.
(22:45):
He happened to bring up achallenge that resonated with me
.
It was something that intriguesme and I threw it on the table.
That you know.
Hey, if you would be interestedin setting up a time separate
from this conversation, I'd loveto brainstorm that with you.
There's no expectation thatyou'll ever become a client, but
if that's something you'd liketo talk about, then what do you
(23:09):
think?
And we're working on gettingsomething on the books.
So, not attached to whetherthat happens, not attached to
the outcomes from thatconversation, to the outcomes
from that conversation, I amattached to the process of being
in relationships with peopleand listening, practicing my
listening skills.
You know that's something thatI think we all benefit from,
(23:35):
regardless of your work,regardless of the intentionality
of the things that you're doing.
If you can practice listeningmore, you can always build
better relationships throughthose skills.
Let's see, I had a couple otherthings that I was going to go on
and share with you.
I'm recognizing how long I'vedrawn this out already.
(23:55):
So I talked about theconnections.
I talked about a real-worldexample of how to move from
connecting to inviting, and thencreating would be the next
phase and then proposing.
But we can talk about those infuture episodes.
You know, before I move on, it'soccurred to me the movie Gosh.
(24:18):
I forget the name of it at themoment.
I could take a moment and lookit up, but in fact I'm going to
do that right now.
Let me just pop open a webbrowser here.
Let me look this up reallyquickly.
The movie with Fred Rogers.
Why can't I remember it rightnow?
Fred Rogers movie.
It was about the life of FredRogers, a beautiful day in the
(24:46):
neighborhood.
I don't know why, I didn't knowthat off the top of my head,
but, yeah, what a, what anexcellent portrayal of how to be
in the presence of other people.
There is a particular point inthat movie where he tells the
gentleman who's the reportercontacting him.
He he said do you know what?
And I forget the gentleman'sname in the movie, but do you
know what?
Do you know who the mostimportant person to me is right
(25:10):
now?
It's you, because I am talkingto you, something to that effect
.
And what a great example realworld how to really be present
with other people.
And I think we get so busy inour lives and in our work and we
get caught up in the thingsthat we want to or need to do
(25:32):
and I'll come to the needy partin a second but we get so
wrapped up in all of thesethings that it's really easy for
us to forget to listen, forgetto be present.
You know, when someone asks usa question or we ask someone
else a question, rather as acoach, when you ask someone a
question, you know if you'rereally busy or you're focused on
(25:55):
a specific outcome, then it maybe really easy for you to jump
into your head and startthinking about the next question
you're going to ask, instead oftruly listening to the answer
and being present with theperson in front of you.
Whether they're online, on thephone, it doesn't matter.
Being present with that personis super important to creating
(26:18):
genuine relationships, and thoserelationships, by the way, with
no expectation for any specificoutcome, can go a long way.
So let me jump back over to mylittle simple list of notes here
, because I did want to talkabout that a little bit more.
Those relationships can havefar-reaching impacts right
(26:42):
beyond the benefit of yourcoaching business, beyond the
benefit of my coaching business.
You know those relationshipscould be much more.
They can be.
You know they might notdirectly want to or need maybe
(27:02):
to pursue what you're people asa resource for something that
they need.
Being able to provide you as acoach or a resource for
(27:26):
something that someone elseneeds what a great testament to
being able to show up and bepresent for people.
That's probably the number oneway to express gratitude or to
receive gratitude is torecognize that if someone takes
the time to refer someone elseto you, that is a tremendous
(27:50):
statement about who you are andhow you've shown up for that
person.
Whether you've worked with themdirectly or not.
It's the relationship.
And so, nidhi, I did say Iwanted to come back to that for
a second, because here's thething right If we show up with a
specific outcome of needing tocreate an income for our
(28:15):
business and that's the reasonwe're in a conversation with
someone business, and that's thereason we're in a conversation
with someone the truth is theycan feel that, they can sense
that neediness and it feels kindof we'll call it creepy.
It feels kind of creepy, and ifyou've ever experienced this,
you'll know what I mean.
If you show up with thatexpectation, and so here's what
I would say and what has beensaid to me right, if you're in
(28:38):
that place of needing to createa client out of this
conversation, or needing tocreate an income from this
particular perspective client,then I would encourage you to
find an alternate means ofproducing the income that you
(28:58):
need, so that you can work onbeing present and producing the
income you desire by being ableto truly connect and engage with
these people that may becomeclients in the future.
If you don't need to turn aprofit from a coaching
(29:19):
conversation or from aconnection conversation with
someone, it's much easier tofall in love with the process.
It's much easier to be presentwith that individual, focused on
who they are and how they'reshowing up in the world, versus
what's the next question I canask to impress them or how am I
(29:39):
going to approach the salesconversation with this person.
There's a couple differentaspects that you can look at,
but it's much more beneficial ifyou don't need something from
them and they don't feel thatyou need something from them.
(30:00):
It's much easier to create asafe space where both of you can
enjoy the process of connectingand learning about each other
and naturally progressing into aplace where, if there's a
challenge, you can reach out andtalk about that challenge with
them.
So let's see here.
(30:22):
I came across this Facebook posttoday.
Oddly enough, of all places Iwas just scrolling, I'm helping
to administrate a large groupfor podcasters that we're
working on shifting the focus of, and I'll say that that is
proving to be interesting,intriguing, keeps me curious
(30:44):
about what works, what won'twork, and working on creating
more engagement there.
But as a result, I ended upscrolling a little bit on
Facebook this morning and I cameacross this post and it said no
money, november was a success,dead broke.
December is about to be poppingand I took some notes on this
(31:07):
because it was fascinating to me.
I wrote down a few things here.
So the first one is this thinghad over 87,000 reactions and I
broke down like this there were50,000 likes, 35,000 laughing
emojis, or whatever you want tocall them, and then the heart
(31:28):
emojis right, 1.3 thousand lovesor heart emojis.
It got beyond that.
There were only 338 thatexpressed the sad emoji, 265
that expressed the care or thehugging emoji.
I don't know if I'm even closeto accurately describing those.
(31:52):
122 expressed the surpriseemoji, or that's how I call it,
and there were seven, only seven, who expressed that angry emoji
.
It is a result of this post nomoney.
November was a success and deadbroke.
December is about to be popping.
Well, I immediately sent that toa friend of mine who has
(32:13):
devoted a bunch of time andenergy into the world of
financial coaching and, as youknow, if you've heard me talk
before I did come, that's how Istarted in coaching officially,
so to speak, was as a financialcoach and I have a vested
interest in seeing people thrivein that part of their world.
But I sent it to a friend ofmine because I know that she
(32:37):
would resonate with thatparticular post and all of the
things I was able to read fromthat.
And I'm not trying to read toomuch into what all these
reactions necessarily mean, butit was curious to me and what it
said to me is what I sharedwith you earlier.
Right, there's 8 billion peoplein the world and most of them
(32:58):
want to feel better or achievemore, and in this one Facebook
post there were 87,000 reactionstelling me that there are
potentially 87,000 people whowant to talk about, or could
benefit from having aconversation about, how to
improve their financial healthso very intriguing to me and I
(33:24):
talked about the Napoleon Hilland focusing on the strangest
secret and the book Think andGrow Rich shared with you a few
of the things that I'm thinkingon and some of the beliefs that
I'm working with right now,right, ensuring that I'm
reinforcing positive beliefs.
(33:44):
In fact, I don't remember if Ishared this in part of an
episode or if I meant to sharethis in part of an episode, but
that's probably the thought thatI'll leave you with for today.
I realize that I've rambled alittle bit, but the thought that
I want to leave you with todayis something else that was
shared in the Strangest Secretand in Think and Grow Rich, and
(34:05):
that's the laws, the laws ofnature.
I looked up Newton's third law,so I recently had the idea of
pursuing the relationshipbetween business growth and
coaching growth to Newton's laws.
In fact, I did share this in mylast episode, but it's worth
(34:26):
sharing again.
Every action has an equal andopposite reaction, and what we
put out into the world,therefore, is a law that we
receive from the world, and toturn that inward.
If we focus on negative things,negative thoughts, then we
(34:49):
produce our own negativeoutcomes.
Contrarily, if we is that aword.
Contrarily, on the other sideof that, if we focus on positive
thoughts and positiveintentions, we produce positive
outcomes for ourselves and forthose around us.
So I'm going to encourage youtoday to keep that in mind as
(35:13):
you move through this holidayseason and into the beginning of
2025.
Focus on the positive outcomesthat you would like to see in
your business and in your lifeand work on tuning out the
negative thoughts, negativebeliefs, that will come up in
(35:33):
the process.
And really, I hope that thisyear has been everything you'd
hoped it would be and that Ihope you're focused on
generating positive outcomes forthe beginning of 2025 and for
the remainder of this year forthat matter.
Don't let up just because we'removing into the holiday season.
(35:53):
There are people that need youand what you have to offer, that
need you and what you have tooffer.
I'll close on this that thispodcast.
I talked a good bit today aboutwhat this podcast is, how it
came about, my focus andintention for this podcast, and
one of the things that I did notshare was my belief that we
(36:17):
have an obligation, you have anobligation.
We have an obligation, you havean obligation.
I have an obligation to sharethe messages that I have.
I would normally hold on to,maybe, but share the message
that's inside of us with otherpeople, because if we don't and
this is the reason that I'mpublishing this podcast and the
hope that it may benefit someoneelse the reason comes down to,
(36:41):
if we don't do the work ofsharing that unique message that
each of you, each of us, hasinside of us, then we are
depriving someone else ofsomething they desperately
needed to hear, something theydesperately needed in their life
today.
So I encourage you to continueto connect with other people, to
(37:04):
focus on listening, to focus oncreating those positive
intentions and feeding yourselfwith positive thoughts and the
resulting positive outcomes that, by law, will come from those
things that, by law, will comefrom those things.
Until next week, I hope thatyou'll do everything you can
(37:28):
with intention and positivity.
