Freedom Between the Lines
Freedom Between the LinesAre you a fun-loving, carefree person who prefers to drift with the wind?Are you happier following the rules and staying within the lines?Whichever you are, happiness and success will arrive when you combine both:1) Too much flexibility in life doesn’t allow for compounding your life experience. Like money in the bank, leave it alone once you know what works.2) Too much structure will limit your ability to discover growth opportunities. Don’t get stuck.Donnie and Marie said it best in the ’70s, “I’m a little bit country, he’s a little bit rock and roll.” Combine the best of both. Learn more about your ad choices.

You Need Two Mission Statements
You Need Two Mission StatementsMission Statements communicate a purpose to an organization. There is no reason why you can't use them to accomplish your dreams. But you need more than one.I know. It's difficult enough to create a single Mission Statement for your personal life or business. Why do you need two?Because the first is your Internal Mission Statement. It is precise, deeply rooted in your WHY, and will guide you and your closest group of friends, family, and associates to your goals. The second is your External Mission Statement. This version is used to communicate your purpose to folks outside your core group who do not know your quest's details. It's good to have two Mission Statements. One is private so that you understand what drives you. The other is public for others to understand WHO you are. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Strongest Why Wins
The Strongest Why WinsYou have no doubt heard that goals require you to understand WHY you're going after them. What's your WHY? The main reason to know WHY is that everything is always more complicated than you initially imagined it would be. Without a strong WHY, you might give up. But, many folks forget that your real WHY may be hiding from you.A mentor of mine asked WHY I was so passionate about building my business based on daily actions. I said, "Because actions are the key to success!"He didn't buy my answer. "You're not excited about daily actions. That’s just your process. You get excited about helping people turn every daily action into a transformational experience that gets them the outcome they want."Wow! Boom! Bang! KaPOW!Now, if I'm honest, I already knew that. It's easy to get caught up in day-to-day living and forget what's truly driving you. Is it time to remember WHY? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Amping Up Your Productivity
Amping Up Your ProductivityDo you ever run out of day before you run out of To-Dos? Getting what you want in life is often blocked by simple habits that are getting in your way. There are two that everybody tend to miss:1) The first productivity super-charger is to understand that tomorrow begins today. Planning ahead and setting your path is vital to reach your desired outcome.2) The second takes a few minutes in the morning before you get busy. The goal is to ground yourself, review your day's plan, and reaffirm what must be done.There's one more that is even more important.Every day has "Non-Optional Activities" that take more time than you think. Non-Opts are taking care of personal needs, like eating and sleeping. They are traffic delays—someone walking into your office or calling you for advice. Non-Opts are always present and they sap your productivity by robbing you of your time and focus. Recognizing and allowing time for non-opts is the fastest way to optimize and ramp up your productivity. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Build Your Side Hustle
Build Your Side HustleEvery day, I spend time on the phone with excited folks who know they are close to getting what they want but can't figure out how to get it. Let's start with:1) Anything you want in this world is owned or controlled by somebody else.2) If you want their help, you must get their attention.It always comes down to three things. In this order:1) What problem are they having? No, it may not relate to you. It doesn't matter. If you can help, you will get their attention.2) What's your solution? How can you fix it? When can you fix it? You'll know when you are close when you see the excitement in their eyes.3) What's your offer? What must they do to get you to help? What do you want? It's simple.Address another person's problems with a robust solution and an offer they can't refuse. That's a real win-win.Our sponsor today is HUEL...Unlock a healthier, easier way to eat with Huel—nutritionally complete meals in minutes so you can focus on what matters.That’s FIFTEEN PERCENT off with the code: BOOST at HUEL.com.

Stop Burnout Now
Stop Burnout NowSteven Covey called it sharpening the saw. If you take a break to sharpen the blade, you will always cut more wood. The same applies to life.My formula for stopping burnout is Ritual, Rest, Rejuvenate, Reactivate, Repeat.1) Success comes when you perform ritual actions every day. Figure out what works and do it.2) Running full-out all the time is not sustainable. You must stop and rest.3) Resting allows your body and mind to rejuvenate and become strong again.4) When you are ready, it's time to reactivate into action mode.5) Repeat until you get what you want.It's easier to cut more wood when you take a break to sharpen your saw. A walk in the park on a busy day counts, too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
