Reinvent Yourself EVEN Without a PlanIn the last couple of years, I made a decision that changed everything about my life.And no, when I began personal Operation Reinvention, I didn't have much of a plan. I wouldn't say I was winging it, but sometimes you have no idea what kind of plan you need. What I did have was a mindset.  I wondered - "What single change can I make - a change that would automatically and positivity disrupt everything in my life and put me in a better place?"I followed that with…"I don't know WHAT it's going to be, but it's not going to be THAT!"While I didn't know exactly how to get there - or even what 'there' was, I knew I would recognize it when I saw it.  Goals are cool. You should use them. Sometimes, you must follow your gut, go with the flow, and figure things out along the way.  By the way, the single change turned out to be a massive rethinking of how I use my time. I create time freedom - and everything else begins to arrive.What change can YOU make that would automatically and positively disrupt everything in your life and leave you in a better place?

Unlocking Your Inner Child With The Power of AnticipationI love how kids live in the moment while also getting excited about the next fun thing coming. Maybe it’s time we all begin acting like kids again.Since you were young, special events made you so excited that sheer anticipation would drive you all day and keep you up at night.  The trick to harness the power of anticipation is to keep a steady stream of exciting moments in your future. I call this my Anticipation Engine.Keep these two things to keep in mind:1) Your energy is dependent on getting excited about your future. Keep your list long - but not too busy. 2) Once an event passes, your excitement will fade. Enjoy the moment. Don’t rush ahead, but make sure you have something fun coming next.Living a life of anticipation gives a natural energy boost. If your life is monotonous - schedule something fun and get excited again.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Escaping Life's Holding Pattern and Breaking FreeWhen I learned to fly little airplanes, my training took me into Holding Patterns. Holding Patterns slow aircraft traffic and keep things safe. When a pilot is told to enter a Hold, that’s where they stay—flying in circles until Air Traffic Control releases them.That sure sounds a lot like regular life these days.I remember flying a Holding Pattern with my instructor. We were there longer than usual, so I asked, what is taking so long? He said, “Why don’t you call them up and tell them you need to get moving?”A few minutes later, I called ATC on the radio and instantly was cleared to head toward my destination - with an apology for the delay.I’ve never forgotten the lesson.Even in with everything that has happened over the last few years, there’s no reason to be stuck in a Holding Pattern. When you decide it’s time to get moving, magical things happen.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Discover the Power of a Personal ConstitutionI was on the phone with a client when she mentioned she uses a personal constitution to guide her life. She wrote the document 25 years ago and has never changed it. She’s not very happy either.Yes, by definition, a Constitution never changes. But that didn’t stop me from asking if she had ever considered amending her Constitution.Let me be clear -Your most important beliefs and core values should not change easily or quickly. Yet, as you grow wiser, you should be willing to make adjustments based on your past experiences. Over time, everybody updates their core belief system. It’s best to make it a conscious rather than an unconscious decision. Is it time for the old dog to learn new tricks? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Seize Control Now With No More WaitingWhen you feel in control, are you happier? I created 'Do What Makes Your Heart Sing a few years ago.' While it was about being happy, it's core teaching became my best practice.1) Stop fixin' to get ready. If you want something, there is no reason to put it off. Could you go out and get it today?2) Ask for help. We all need help. Millions of people are waiting for you to ask them.3) Slow down when it gets bumpy. Going after big goals will lead you down rough roads. Those are when you slow down, stay focused, and keep moving - as fast as possible.4) Fly it into the barn. Good pilots continue to fly their airplanes until they are safely tied down on the ground. Keep going until you get 100% of what you want.5) Be smart—set goals. Don't argue. This one is simple. Trust and use your wisdom and instinct. Set goals to keep you reaching for what you want. Seek solutions that keep you moving.6) Don't give monkeys piggyback rides. If you let them, other people will happily put THEIR monkey on YOUR back. Deal with your challenges. Let them do the same.7) Practice daily P.Y.O.T.B. You are your own best cheerleader. Be sure to pat yourself on your back and say, "I done GOOD!" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

7 Stoic Rules for a Happier LifeI'm a fan of Stoic Philosophy. While it may be over 2,000 years old, its practicality is still valid.These rules to live by will help you have a happier life:1. If you're going to learn and succeed, be humble. There is always someone more intelligent, more successful, and wiser.  2. Find the right scene. Choose your friends and situations. If you want to rise in life, you can't allow yourself to be held down by others.3. Protect your time. Seneca said, "We're tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers." Life is short.4. Never do anything out of habit. Always think about how you can do things better, and always question yourself. 5. Keep it simple — do your job. Approach every task as if it were your last because it very well could be. 6. Adapt and learn from failure. Using your success to justify complacency is common. It's also easy, which is why most people do it. You can do more and be better.7. Live below your means. The more you need work to maintain your needs, the less you will enjoy what you have.Everything in life comes down to keeping things simple and mastering the basics. That's how you get the success you deserve. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How Opening New Doors Fuels Your DreamsOne of my favorite questions is, “What CAN I Do?” No matter how challenging a situation. Answering that question always reveals a clear path.As they navigate our new world, I hear my clients ask me that question too. My answer usually goes something like this -“Can can you do? When you open a new door, you will find a new opportunity. Start opening more doors.”Feeling empowered in a world that is draining your energy is like Tesla on a cross-country trip without charging stations is difficult. If you want to ensure you are never running low, remember that dreams, possibilities, potential, and a feeling of certainty are all powered by new opportunity.When you open a new door, an opportunity reveals itself. Your challenges will fade as you focus on the new way. But you must be willing to open a new door to find it.The key to thriving in uncertain times is finding opportunities behind new doors. All you have to do is open the door.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
