Start Your Transformation NowAt first read, you might reactively answer and say, “No, there is no way I live a life of convenience. After all, I’m working hard, life is challenging and I’m doing my best, there is no way I’m living my life from convenience.” If that or anything like it is your response, I understand. However, have you fully considered what’s causing the current inconveniences in your life? Inconveniences are different things for different people. It could be the economy, your health, a job that you don’t like, a relationship that no longer works…it can be almost anything, as we’re all different. And, when I say “inconveniences” I’m not talking about a squeaky door hinge and little annoying things like that. I’m talking about bigger inconveniences like maybe you drive a two-hour commute each day and you don’t even like your job but it pays well and you don’t have time to look for another one. Or, you want to be, do or have a lot more in life but so much is going on it’s just inconvenient to change things up in your life. Have you thought about the choices you did or did not make in the past that have contributed to your present life? You did not get here today by accident. You got here by choice. You got where you are by living from behaviors that are convenient. The truth is, most people got here or don’t have what they want in life exactly because of convenience. They don’t make the choices to create and have the life they want because those choices are not convenient for them in their current life circumstances. Want a new job but not convenient to look? Want better health but not convenient to go to the gym? Or, not convenient to pay for a gym membership? Want better health and know you should eat better quality food but the cost is not convenient? Have you thought about the inconvenience of bad health that may come from eating poor quality food? The whole point is that most of us live from convenience, even though we think it is not that. And, by doing this we create even greater inconvenience in our future.Transformational Takeaway: The more you try to live from convenience now, the more inconvenience you’ll have later in life.Mentioned Resources:Episode 1: Transforming Your Life From The Inside OutEpisode 2: Who Are You And What Is Your Identity?Episode 3: What Is The Story Of Your Life?Episode 4: The Biology of FearEpisode 5: Why Your Bad Habits Are So Hard To BreakEpisode 6: Here’s The Only Place To Find Your Highest PotentialEpisode 7: How To Overcome The Fear Of JudgementEpisode 8: Reprogramming Your Subconscious Mind For Health, Wealth And HappinessEpisode 9: How The Law Of Attraction Repels The Money And Abundance You WantEpisode 10: I’m stuck in my old identity, procrastination and self sabotage.

Start Your Transformation NowYes, another episode on money and prosperity. Why another episode on money on a transformational podcast? Easy, because to have total prosperity, even in a bad economy, requires internal transformation. As you have perhaps heard me say, “Wealth is an internal game,” and if you want money to still flow into your life, even in the 2022 economy, then you must improve your internal state and “Way of BEing.” How is your internal state related to your external circumstance of money? Again, easy… Please listen or re-listen to episode #9 where I talk about how most people use the Law Of Attraction to repel money. Unlike the past episodes regarding money, I also talk about your “Ways of BEing” in this episode. We’re human beings, not human doings yet most people have never really learned or accepted that and they function only as human doings. When we are only human doings we are then restricted by the laws of physics and the material world and we are then at the mercy of our financial system. Our BEing attracts our circumstances. When we function primarily as an “aware” human being, we are then working in and with the worlds on vibration, frequency, and attention and this is our true cosmic (and economic) power.Transformational Takeaway: How you are “BEing” is where your attention is and where your attention is, that is what you are attracting.Mentioned Resources:Episode 1: Transforming Your Life From The Inside OutEpisode 2: Who Are You And What Is Your Identity?Episode 3: What Is The Story Of Your Life?Episode 4: The Biology of FearEpisode 5: Why Your Bad Habits Are So Hard To BreakEPISODE 9: How The Law Of Attraction Repels The Money And Abundance You WantLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowI remember decades ago when I was talking to don Xavier, and he said to me, “You must learn to move your attention because where you attention is…is where you are.” Thinking back to 2009 and the global economic collapse. I remember how much economic fear that caused in me, and one day it dawned on it, “Hey, where’s my attention?” That is what is extraordinarily vital for you to fully understand. I know you understand it analytically but do you understand it emotionally? If you’re getting into any kind of fear about anything then you understand it but you don’t know it. I can’t state strongly enough, any and every single time you are feeling the least bit of fear, worry or anxiety about the world, that is where your attention is. And, where your attention is…that’s where you are keeping your vibration and frequency, and that’s exactly what you are attracting right back into your life. Many of us are using our emotions against ourselves. I want to remind you, the name of this podcast is: Transforming Your Life From The Inside Out and when you’re in fear and the situations in the world, though it is inside of you, per se, it’s coming from some reaction to something outside of you. And, that in itself is living your life backwards. This entire conversation reminds me of something a friend said to me, he’s a former Navy Seal and he said, “Calm seas don’t make great sailors.” And, as we look at the world and it’s definitely not a calm sea but are you going to live your life from the inside out and allows yourself to drown or are you going to become a stronger sailor? Want a little gauge to help keep you on track? Fear. Pay attention. How many times per day are you getting into fear? How much and how often? This is clearly tell you if you’re living from the outside in. Why? Because your soul does not know human fear, and if you’re in any kind of fear, that is coming from your human experience, outside of you, not your soul, which is inside you.Transformational Takeaway: You are where your attention is. Manage your attention well.Mentioned Resources:EPISODE 9: How The Law Of Attraction Repels The Money And Abundance You WantLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowIf you’re like most people, you have asked yourself this very question. And, even if you have asked,why are you still not getting what you want in life? Let me get to the point! The only reason your life is not changing like you want is because you won’t change to become the kind of person to have that life. The truth is that you can change. You change your mind many times everyday about many things. However, you’re not changing your mind in the most fundamental ways. Also, if you’re like many people, you desire change, and because of this, you read books, watch videos and even listen to podcasts. You gather a lot of information from many sources, yet you probably experience little to marginal change in your life. The fact is this: No matter how much information you consume, like podcasts or videos or whatever, two things generally keep you stuck – you refuse to change or you don’t know how to change and you stay the same. This episode is more about the fact that you can change and you still don’t do it. How come you can choose to change but you still don’t? I talk about the exact reasons in this episode.Transformational Takeaway: The only reason you don’t have what you want is because you won’t change. You’re making the choice through unconscious fears not to change. You must change enough to transcend your fears. Change is required.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowIt’s July 2022 and there’s a lot of talk about a looming US recession. There’s a lot of economic chaos and fear, and millions, if not billions of people going into financial fear.The big question in this episode is: Are you letting what’s happing in the external world of the economy affect you, or are you playing a strong internal game? Obviously, the title of the podcast is “Living Your Life From The Inside Out” and most people are living from the outside in. In this episode I talk about a friend of mine, TC Cummings, a former Navy Seal. He told me a story about how running on soft sand during training was a lot harder than running on hard sand. He explained that when the drill instructors were running the trainees on soft sand they were actually making them stronger runners. That’s the way I look at the current economy as it applies to most people. Economically, it’s akin to soft sand. It’s harder for a lot of people, but the $64,000 question is, no pun, are you choosing the soft economy to make you stronger or make you weaker? Living in the US economy I see what everyone else is seeing and experiencing. But what matters is how I am interpreting it and my choices about it.There are so many opportunities in the economy to choose to make ourselves stronger. Are you using this as an opportunity or as a curse?Transformational Takeaway: How is the economy treating you, and are you REACTING or RESPONDING? Are you feeling powerless or powerful? Are you seeing opportunities expanding or shrinking? It’s your choice.Mentioned Resources:EPISODE 9: How The Law Of Attraction Repels The Money And Abundance You WantLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now“The quality of your life is dependent upon the quality of questions you ask yourself.” Richard Bandler What does that mean? The phrase was coined by Richard Bandler, the co-developer of NLP (NeuroLinguistic Programming). It means, as seems obvious, the more and better questions you ask yourself, the better quality of life you will create. And, who doesn’t want a better life? So, what kinds of questions do you ask yourself? What I have found is that fewer people ask questions about how to change their circumstances over why they are in their circumstances. Whatever your circumstances, you created them. It does not matter why you keep creating them or lamenting about them. What matters is what questions you are asking to improve your behavior, circumstances and life. In this episode I ask you a series of simple questions that you can ask yourself, and I share with you the strategy that I use when I just don’t know what to ask or what I think I’m looking for. Make a mental note, your future questions are not to be so much about where you are or how you got there but how you can do things differently and how you must think differently. What I have noticed over the years is that often people go into what I call “resignation.” When they don’t know the answer to something they simply quit or resign themselves to their circumstances. As I mentioned, I also share the strategy that I use to get answers from my higher mind and you have to listen to that to hear my personal process.Transformational Takeaway: The quality of your life is dependent on the quality of questions you ask yourself. If you want to create, be or have more in your life, then ask better questions.Mentioned Resources:EPISODE 210: Six Questions To Overcome FearLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Discover how thoughts and emotions impact vibrations, influencing financial situation. Learn to break old patterns and embrace proactive mindset for financial abundance.

Start Your Transformation NowThis is a very special and also powerful episode. As you’ll hear I am interviewing Dr. Laurie Emery, PysD. Dr. Emery is a coveted relationship expert, transformational coach, and also a former coach of mine. Her primary expertise and zone of genius is “Transformational Relationship Coaching.” Candidly, I’d not even be doing this podcast had I not met her many years ago. She changed my life and when you listen to this episode carefully and over and over, you’ll find solid guidance that can completely shift your relationship with yourself and others. What was just said in the last sentence is vital to a healthy personal relationship because your marriage, personal and intimate relationships are only as healthy as your relationship with yourself. In this episode, we specifically talk about the three biggest problems in relationships and according to Dr. Emery these three things are:  A lack of intimacy  A lack of responsibility  A lack of commitment  In the headline, I talk about the three biggest problems in relationships and how to solve them, but solving them isn’t as task/process-focused as most people might think. The solutions to the biggest problems come from our self-growth and us focusing on our own personal evolvement without us simply expecting our partner to change. Like I said, in my opinion, this is an exceptional episode. Transformational Takeaway: To transform our relationships we first must transform our relationship with ourselves.Mentioned Resources:You can reach Dr. Laurie Emery, PsyD at her email:drlemery@gmail.comLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowYou’ve heard the old phrase before, “If nothing changes then nothing changes.” But, things don’t change, we change (or not), and if we don’t change then nothing in our world changes.My observation from doing my work over decades is that people will give lip service to change and they will dream and plan and fantasize about it but few actually pay the price and do the work to create it!To change your circumstances…your money, relationships, health, and anything in your life you must change. When you change then these “things” also change because they respond to who you are and what you do. Life responds and mirrors you and your changes.And, as we all know, we must change but we don’t. Have you ever asked yourself why? There are several reasons but two, in particular, are both brain-based. One is Predictability and the other is Identity Confirmation.There is a part of your brain that operates from a predictability/certainty principle and a part of your brain that wants “Identity Confirmation.”These two brain-based functions keep you trapped in the behavior of not changing, which is totally against what you often think you want. You know that if nothing changes then nothing changes but you still don’t take change action. It’s not your fault, it’s your brain.The only way to create change is to actually use your mind to drive your brain. The only way to create change is to take action on your desired change.In this episode, I talk more about it all and some simple practical steps to start creating change in your life.Transformational Takeaway: A part of your brain will keep you in your same place in life. You have to override your brain by using your mind.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
