Is it possible that by thinking a different way, you could experience life in a totally different way? Can you take control of your thoughts and eradicate depression and create joy?  Today as I interview Cliff Ravenscraft, we discuss living the life of your dreams, what conferences to attend this year, and why you should stop working for God's approval. Click here to download or listen to this episode now. Tip of the Week: Fix Your Podcast Audio The conference you must attend this fall is the Free the Dream Conference.  This is put on by Cliff Ravenscraft and is being held September 7-9 in Franklin, Tenessee. I will be speaking at it. If you want to change your life for the better, live the life of your dreams and break free from what is holding you back, You need to be at this event! Go to www.freethedream.live and get your tickets now. Spiritual Foundations: Be Decisive There is nothing we can do to get into heaven. We all try to align ourselves with our creator, so we can live in his kingdom by doing things on this earth, and we do not need to do that anymore!  All we need to do is have faith in Jesus Christ. That is the only thing we need to do to enter the kingdom. In the old covenant with God, we had to have ceremonious sacrifices in order to be cleaned in the eyes of God. When Jesus came, He removed the need for that system. The work was all done by Jesus Christ, and now we no longer have to do it. So now we are just supposed to enjoy God's approval. You are perfect just the way you are. You do not need to be something different. Just be who you are. Feature Presentation "Change Your Thinking And Change Your Life" After being the Podcast Answer-Man, for so long, Cliff Ravenscraft decided to push that all away, and completely do something totally different. Why? Because he knew he was made to encourage, educate and inspire people and he wanted to help people live their best life. If you have hope, you have influence. Are you living the life that you are created to live? Find a mentor to motivate you and hold you accountable for your actions and your outcome. You have to shift your identity and what you are saying to yourself. Even though there are other people that teach what you may do, only you can do it and reach the people who would identify with you. Cliff suggests reading the 'Big Leap" by Gay Hendricks. It teaches you to work within your zone of genius, where you can make the greatest impact. What will it take to get to do the things you love to do 80% of your day. What do you have to do to make that possible? Your language and what you tell yourself is so important. You have to make a decision to do what you want to do with no other possibilities or wavering. Free the dream is for people who have a dream inside of them that says I wonder what life could be like if I do _____. It is for anyone who is on the fence and doesn't know what their dream is, and also for those who had the dream, left their day job, and are struggling to succeed because they feel sleazy trying to sell their product. Free the dream will help to ignite you and your dream and set it into motion. Go to Cliff's event!

Are you tired of feeling sick, broke or like you are a failure? Today we go through the 12 principles of Think and Grow Rich, how to focus on your one thing, talk about being decisive people like the Disciples, and how to to get the best audio quality in your podcast. Click here to download or listen to this episode now. Tip of the Week: Fix Your Podcast Audio If your podcast quietly is less than perfect, hire someone to edit it for you. Get rid of distractions and background noise in your audio.  Make your podcast more user-friendly. Danny Ozment, from Emerald City Productions, tells us how important the sound quality of your podcast is. Not only does it help your listeners create a relationship with you, it increases their ability to understand and listen while on the go. Don't just hire anybody to help edit your podcast, but hire someone who really knows what they are doing. Spiritual Foundations: Be Decisive Be a decisive human being. When we are decisive, it demonstrates our faith. We know Who we are, WHOSE we are, and WHAT we stand for. It is easy to make decisions based on our morals and beliefs if we are decisive. Look at the Disciples, Jesus said "Come, follow me" and they did. They didn't have to pray about it or ask someone if they should- they just did. Feature Presentation "The One Thing That Causes You To Fail- Or Succeed" What is your one thing?  Napoleon Hill decided to take on the book Think And Grow Rich in a matter of 60-seconds, and he took 20 years to finish it.  Do you think that he was happy that he persevered and finished that project? It became his grand obsession for him, and I can relate. When I took Michael Hyatt's "Best Year Ever" challenge in 2015, it became my grand obsession. I made having my best year ever, and my best life ever my destiny. If you think your destination is about what is set out for you., you are wrong. Your destiny is where you end up based on the past you decide to take. So, what have you decided your destiny is? I always suggest people sit down and write out their perfect day to help achieve their destiny.  I want you to sit down and write out every detail of what your perfect day would be. Every detail from the start of your day until your head hits the pillow at night.  It should be at least 3 or 4 pages long.  Were you bold enough? Is it really your perfect day? Now, you don't need some complicated plan or scheme to accomplish this "perfect day/perfect living". You just need to focus on your 1 thing- your unique wisdom and knowledge only you have that you can share with others. As John Lee Dumas says- FOCUS. F-Follow O- One C- Course U- Until S- Success And Follow the 12-Principles of Think And Grow Rich Know what you are after Have Self-confidence Use the power of habit force Take Initiative and leadership Have imagination Have enthusiasm Have self-control Go the extra mile Have an attractive personality- Be you! Have accurate thinking FOCUS Co-operate with others So really, the ONE THING that causes you to fail or succeed is how you pursue your ONE THING.

If you want to build a purpose-driven, personality-based online business, blogging should be the cornerstone of your business. And I can think of no one better than Leslie Samuel to discuss this topic. Click here to download or listen to this episode now. Tip of the Week: 3Ways to Be More Productive Instantly Start using Block Time. Block similar tasks. Batching similar activities and blocking time will make you more productive. Set yourself up for success. Disconnect from the internet and make yourself distraction-free. Buy experience. Experience is the best teacher. Doesn't it make more sense to benefit from the mistakes other people have experienced? Masterminds, online courses, and training programs give you the lessons learned by the experiences of others (without having to endure the difficulty of the experience). Spiritual Foundations: The Gift of No Condemnation Romans 8 explains the Gift of No Condemnation, "There is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ." You should have no guilt. You shouldn't beat yourself up for your mistakes. Yes, make amends if you have hurt someone, but feeling guilty should be over. It is FINISHED. He paid the debt for all your sin…past…present…future. Some worry that living with no condemnation will cause you to go and sin more. No, this is not true. If you truly understand this, the Spirit will help you to actually sin less. Although it seems counterintuitive, stop with the self–loathing and condemnation and realize you're loaded with peace, love and joy. Stop self–condemnation and celebrate your righteousness and receive what Jesus has to give you.

Ask yourself, "What problem am I solving?" Many bloggers don't look at how to transform their blog into a business. A blog isn't a business, it's a platform. If you want to make money you have to sell something of value. When there is a button to show you how to buy, you have a business. Content mistake – The content they create has no plan. The content should attract the right people and lead them in the direction of what you have to sell. This may be common knowledge, but it's not common practice. I created a course called Blogging Business Foundations to help you learn to attract the right person with the right problem to your business. Marketing mistake – They don't have a strategic way to promote their content. They falsely believe, "If I build it they will come." How are you marketing it? Are you promoting without a specific plan? Pay attention to how others who are successful are marketing their blog and learn from their example. How false information leads to failure – If you have no list, no experience, and you don't work you'll fail – Why 80–90% of businesses fail and how to avoid this pitfall.
