Work. Life. Balance. Really?
Work. Life. Balance. Really?A long time ago, you found yourself graduating high school and thrust into real life. I’m sure you gave lots of thought to your future. Then again, you were young. Twenty years later, things can look very different.Over the years, I’ve learned something about working for a living:1) Chasing money, advancement, and being significant will keep you busy. It will also close your eyes to other areas of life you would enjoy.2) Pursuing passion and mission without considering real life is a recipe for frustration.Choose career opportunities that allow you to run fast, feel important, make money, and will enable you to serve your passion and mission.

Does the Law of Attraction Work?
Does the Law of Attraction Work?I've always believed the Law of Attraction should be called the Law of What You Think About Most.Like attracts like, what you think about, you get. If you think, "I won't get it because I never do" - you are correct.Dreaming of a new life while focusing on your current problems is a sure way to keep spinning your wheels.The trick is to focus your attention and actions on what you want to attract. That will require a dedicated effort. Vision Boards, lists of Goals, and daily journaling are all great ways to stay on track. The Law of What You Think about is magical and straightforward…Decide what you want. Believe it is possible. Focus on the future, not the past. Please don't stop until you get it.

Get Motivated ON DEMAND
Get Motivated ON DEMANDAs a child, I wondered why I couldn't always have my way. Mom and Dad were so mean! I couldn't wait to grow up, move out, and experience being an adult. Everything would be different - or so I thought.After stepping into the adult world, it didn't take long to realize that not much had changed. It turns out it wasn't my parents. It was like turning down my requests. Life was getting in the way. What was even worse was that I was getting in my way.I've joked over the years that if I'm the Boss of me, so why don't I do what I say? Eventually, I realized having a big ass goal, being on a mission, and, most importantly, motivation on demand was the solution.Motivation is a powerful, if not fleeting, tool we all need. But we need to understand one of the simplest ways our minds generate motivation:1) Your physiology dictates your feelings. The easiest way to break free of a slump is to stand up, take a step, and REPEAT. Movement wakes your body, guides your emotions, and makes anything possible.2) Focus fuels your fire. If you're unmotivated, you drift in the wind with no direction. Shifting your thoughts in a positive direction and toward what excites you will break you out and get you moving.3) The words you say create the emotions you feel. Negative self-talk will drag you and everybody else down. Everything changes when you make the words you say to yourself, internally and externally, positive and uplifting. Words matter more than you think.You're human. Your brain isn't wired to stay motivated constantly unless you are willing to give it a helping hand. Learn more about your ad choices.

One Question Procrastination Elimination
One Question Procrastination EliminationAre you a member of the Procrastination Club? Procrastination is the intentional and habitual postponement of an essential task that you should be doing. Is that what you are doing? In my view, two things could happen if you procrastinate -It may be possible that you are not procrastinating at all. Instead, you may be forcing yourself to do something you don't need to do anyway.The other possibility is that it simply doesn't mean enough to you to start the process. Or, said another way, other things mean more to you.Yes, you must complete some tasks. That's called being a responsible person. But if your list keeps getting longer, it's time to ask yourself a question -Is it important enough to me to get it done? If not, you know why you are procrastinating.

Shake Up Your Life and Thrive
Shake Up Your Life and ThriveGrowth and change are what most people strive for in their life. It’s what drives you before you create your amazing life. It’s also what drives you to step up to the next level.In the last 17 years, I’ve produced the Daily Boost podcast, and I’ve spoken to thousands of people. All of them were in various stages of change, and most aimed to be happy. But, there is an issue that keeps popping up.As people live and enjoy the life they’ve built, the natural desire for more growth kicks in, and they find themselves driving harder—usually without thinking about it. It could be about passion, but most times, it’s about making more money.One day, I talked with a friend about living a good life and how hard people work to mess up a good thing. That’s when he asked a great question -”When life is good, why would you do something else only to make more money?”It’s not to say that making more money is not very good. It’s just important to make sure that you focus on what is right in front of you and remain balanced and happy as you grow.The happiest people in the world already know that. Because a powerful force drives humans to grow at any cost, sometimes that costs them in ways they never see coming—good and bad. Enjoy what you have and grow to make things better. That’s a recipe for success, no matter how you see it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sharing Your Plans Slows You Down
Sharing Your Plans Slows You DownIn the last few years, it has become increasingly popular for people to share every little aspect of their lives with others. But, when it comes to getting what you want, keeping your plans to yourself is a powerful tool.Independent's Day weekend has just passed, and when I arrived at my desk on Tuesday, I had two client messages that made me smile.The first said, "I decided to spend my weekend practicing what I do in private so that I will be praised in public." That's something I've said and done many times.The second client told me they had completed a new project over the weekend and heading in a new direction. When I mentioned they had never said a word to me about it, they said, "I know. I'm learning that nobody needs to know what I'm doing to do. I'll do it, and they can catch up."My heart smiled as I witnessed three powerful tools that impact my client's lives:1) Practice privately until you are ready to share with the world. Nobody needs to know how you got so good at what you do.2) There's no need to tell anybody what you are going to do. Just do it and then let them know what you've done later.3) It's easier to get things done when everybody else is busy doing something else and isn't poking their nose in your business. Long holiday weekends and summer vacations are a great place to begin.You can do whatever you want with your life, and you don't need anybody's permission or approval to make it happen. Your destiny is 100% up to you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Living Your ALL IN Life
Living Your ALL IN LifeI want to become the person I am meant to be.That’s something that I hear daily in my life from people all over the world. Frankly, beyond living a joyful life, I can’t think of anything more important than growing to become who you know you are on the inside.Most people tend to work in different areas of their life. All will say that family and friends are the most important, but they tend to focus on their career and legacy - especially after the kids move out. But here is a problem…For many years, most people, including myself, tended to get lost in developing specific areas of their lives while others were on hold. While outwardly successful, they wouldn’t be on the phone with me if everything was going perfectly. It’s not, it’s hit or miss, and that is causing sleepless nights.A solution is an ALL-IN approach to living.Over time, I’ve developed the solid belief that whatever you deem as the ultimate best use of your life will only happen after you have evolved every area of your life - and do it every day.Focusing on your business and achieving success at the highest levels only happens when the other areas of your life are balanced.Raising your children to be the best can only happen when the other areas of your life balance.Developing your spiritual being will only happen at a deeply satisfying level when all other areas of your life are balanced.In other words, you will only achieve your personal best when your body, mind, relationships, and finances are working in synchronicity to support your journey: any other strategy is hit or miss. The goal is simple.Every day you should do something to develop, maintain, and grow every critical area of your life. It doesn’t have to be big, but it does have to happen. No, things won’t be perfect every day, but it’s incredible how all those imperfect days add up to a pretty good life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
