Start Your Transformation NowHow many times have you earnestly tried to change your behavior to get better results in your life yet you find that you gain little?If you can relate to what you just read, you’re not alone, this is the pattern of most people’s lives. Everyone wants more and they try to do more to have more and it just does not work.In this episode I dispel the thought that doing more will bring you a better life. Actually, for many people, doing more actually just wears them out.In this episode I introduce the “BE-DO-HAVE Formula.” That is, you first have to BE what you want in your mind because that is what you create, no matter what you do.In this episode I talk about: [2:14] Why the HAVE-DO-BE model is a universal broken model [3:44] Who you have to be to get what you want in life [14:32] How the Have Do Be broken model is drilled into us as kids [15:11] Why we think we have to do things to be successful [17:00] How we feel bad when we don’t think we do enough [36:39] Loss Aversion and why we’re afraid to be bigger in life And as usual, much, much more…I also talk about how to start becoming a Conscious Transformer and how to start creating your life from the inside out.This episode can be life-changing if you embrace the BE-DO-HAVE Formula for success!Transformational Takeaway: Everything is just you in the mirror. Life is your mirror.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 NowEver felt like you weren’t good enough? No matter what you did, how many awards, how many titles or how high you climbed you just haven’t felt good enough?If you’ve ever felt that way you’re going to love this podcast.Well, meet Jason, an Olympic silver medalist. Despite winning a silver medal at the Olympics Jason didn’t believe he was worthy of the medal because someone his wife worked with told him “that he didn’t deserve the medal.”As you’ll hear, Jason did deserve the medal he won yet he let one person derail him for years. Hear his story of how he got beyond the opinion of others.In this episode we talk about: [9:32] What we deserve in life [11:26] The stories we tell ourselves [26:46] Contribution in life over achievement [38:41] Why it doesn’t matter how good we are [39:31] Letting go of judgement [40:57] Persistence without exception And much, much more.This was a fun interview and it will resonate with most people. Jason is an Olympic medalist and until we met he still didn’t feel like he was “good enough” in the eyes of many people. He is no longer that person. Listen to how he put all the low self-worth behind him.Transformational Takeaway: There are two of them: One, Stop worrying what other people think, no matter what you do, people are going to judge you and two…life is all a story.Pick empowering stories for your life!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 NowEver wondered why you’re not getting the results you want in the gym, in your business and perhaps all the areas of your life?There could be many reasons but a huge reason is talked about in this episode, self-integrity. Are you being 100% integral with your word to yourself relative to your desired outcomes?Do you eat the way you say you’ll eat? Do you go to the gym when you say you will go? Do you lead generate for your business like you say you will? Do you do what you say you’ll do when you say you’ll do it?If you just said no to the above questions you’re going to love this episode because it’s all about self-integrity! It’s all about doing what you say you’re going to do when you say you’re going to do it.In this episode I discuss: [2:46] How you can have a 100-500% increase in your productivity when you keep your word to yourself. [7:08] How I used to lie to myself about integrity (and you probably do too). [22:44] How we speak our lives into existence. [23:12] Why not keeping your word affects your self-esteem. And, of course, much much more.Self-Integrity is VITAL to your success in any activity and according to a Harvard business professor who studies it, it’s one of the most over-looked concepts in business and life.When we’re out of self-integrity, nothing works, we keep failing over and over in many areas of life that we think are important to us.Let me rephrase the last paragraph, things work in life but they rarely work the way we want when we’re out of integrity.Transformational Takeaway: Be 100% impeccable with your word to yourself.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 NowYou’ve heard it since you were a kid, “Be responsible,” however, have you ever sat with that concept and fully explored its meaning in your own life?Responsibility is a master key in life and what you create is what you’re 100% responsible for creating or not.One of my clients once said, “Wow, when I live from being 100% responsible for my life I feel like I can do anything.” He embodied the characteristic and he 10 X his business growth in 3 years. And, what he did, you can do!In this episode I talk about: [5:55] Where you’ll be next year is 100% contingent on what you’re being responsible for [12:22] To what degree are you responsible for your own personal evolution [14:04] Why blame is victim mentality [16:09] The relationship between success and responsibility [19:05] What victim mentality looks like And, what 100% responsibility looks like.Harry Truman said it best, “The buck stops here,” and when you embody that characteristic and way of BEing, your life will change dramatically.Transformational Takeaway: What happens in your life is what you’re responsible for making happen.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 NowWe’re trying a new format for the next month on Mondays. We’re calling it Transformational Monday.In this first episode I interview Jennifer, she’s been a student of mine for the past six months.As you’ll hear, when she started with me she was depressed, so much so, she could barely get out of bed and had no energy to grow her business. Her life was not in a good place, mentally, physically and emotionally.This podcast is not just “Jennifer’s story,” I ask her very specific questions about how she went from very depressed to being in a great and happy place today and how she maintains that. (I think these will resonate with a lot of people.)My favorite part of her story is the “one thing” that shifted in her that pulled her out of her depression. I also think this will resonate with a lot of people. Important. When Jennifer talks about her depression, at no point do either of us infer clinical depression versus emotional funk, etc. I’m not a licensed medical or health care professional and I do not and did not dispense any kind of medical or psychological therapy.If you’ve ever been in a severe funk, you just can’t find the energy or motivation to get on with and build life, and if you’ve ever just been stuck in a “bad place,” you’re going to love this episode.Transformational Takeaway: Live in the present and be in the NOW.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 NowWhen people say, “Do you have it IN you,” they're usually talking about resolve and grit and the fortitude to accomplish something.I’m going a different direction with this episode.The Dalai Lama said, “If there is no anger in you, you cannot be angry.”The same applies to every area of your life. What’s in you is what you create. Poverty, wealth, health, poor health… it’s all created by what’s “in you” mentally!In this episode I talk about: [9:25] Identity [10:57] Identity [24:17] Identity Yes, I intended to state the word “IDENTITY” three times. What’s in your unconscious identity is what’s in your life.Sun Tzu said, “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.” Anything you want in life you must first be in your internal world.Even if you think you understand the concept of “identity,” give this episode a listen, as I think you might hear some things you’ve not heard before.Transformational Takeaway: If you don’t have it on the outside, it’s because you’re not yet that on the insideLet'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.
