Abraham’s Hierarchy of Needs
Abraham’s Hierarchy of NeedsYour best life is built sequentially, one level at a time. Forget the elevator. Climb all the stairs to the top, and you’ll have lasting success.In 1954, Abraham Maslow released Motivation and Personality. His Hierarchy of needs theory is all about climbing to the top.Maslow suggested that to reach your full potential:1) You must provide for your physiological needs. Food, clothing, shelter, money, and more. 2) You must feel safe. Personally, emotionally, financially, health and well-being, and against accidents and illness.3) Socially, you need to feel love and belonging. 4) Esteem and the desire for acceptance, respect, and value by others is your next step. Self-actualization requires mastery of your previous needs. Maslow said, “What a man can be, he must be.”5) Self-transcendence removes you from your ego and begins your focus on the greater good.Your best life is built sequentially, one level at a time.

Are You The Monkey in The Middle?
Are You The Monkey in The Middle?Have you ever found yourself stuck in the middle?I was speaking with a client trying to be everything to everybody. His business was not growing. His life was not happy. He couldn’t seem to find a way to make progress. That’s when I said…“My friend, you are stuck in the middle. Nothing good happens when you are in the middle.”In business and life, having low expectations and being surrounded by like-minded folks is okay. It’s also okay to reach for your dreams, has high expectations, and expect that of others.What happens if you’re in the middle?When low and high expectations combine, confusion is the result. Mediocrity overtakes quality. Frustration will be your daily friend.The choice is yours. If I were you, I would make the decision never to get stuck in the middle. Learn more about your ad choices.

Problems With Others? Maybe it's YOU!
Problems With Others? Maybe it's YOU!One of my hobbies is running my Australian Shepard, Levi, in agility competitions. When people see us run, their first comment is almost always -"I love how your dog knows where to go. How did you teach him to follow the numbers on the course?"I always smile.No. Levi does not follow numbers. He relies on me, his Handler, to tell him where to go. He will go off course and be eliminated if I don't communicate my intention.In the agility world, we say, "Every dog has a Handler problem." I've noticed the same thing in the human world.If you think you are being tripped up by someone else, double-check to see if they have a Handler problem.Know what you want and where you want to go, and effectively communicate your goals. You will be amazed at how almost everybody will follow the numbers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

So what’s the fix?I worked with a client a few minutes ago in the same situation, and his response was brilliant!STOP. He stopped in his tracks and didn’t respond at all.THINK.He pondered how he felt and why he was about to make a mistake. What was driving it?THINK AGAIN.As part of his process, he wrote down his feelings, what action he should take, and when he would take it.ACT.The entire process took place within a few minutes. He slept on it and responded with a short email the next day. The result was no added drama and continued positive momentum.I like to think of this as a ‘Recipe For Me’ that I create in advance and utilize for consistent results. Once I know something works, I must check my recipe, and life is good.Get the Daily Boost Commercial-Free at https://dailyboostpremium.com. Learn more about your ad choices.
