Daily Boost - Motivation and Coaching

Time to go ALL INHave you ever wondered how the most successful people in the world get that way?Could it be their timing is right? Do they "know" somebody? Luck? That's it. They get lucky!Maybe, but I think there is more to it.Every person I've ever known who achieved remarkable success did three things:1) They recognized what they wanted and envisioned themselves living that life.2) At some point, they commit and go all in. Their dream IS going to happen. There is no "Plan B." 3) No matter what gets in the way, they practice never-ending flexibility and perseverance. They keep going until they get what they want.Yes, it seems that you must pay a price for living the life of your dreams - and it's not money. It's YOU! Learn more about your ad choices.

Improving Your Financial Situation When it comes to improving their lives, most people say money is their top concern.Tony Robbins said, “Making money won’t solve all of your problems - but at least you will arrive at your problems in style.”The truth is, making more money, no matter how little, will solve most of your problems. It is also the magic juice that will fuel your dreams. If you want enough money to create the life of your dreams:1) KNOW what kind of life you desire. Be realistic about how much you need.2) Making money is about adding VALUE to the person who is giving some of their money to you. They don’t have to do it. Make their life better and help them reach their dreams. They’ll happily help you do the same.3) Set a financial goal and never lose track of it. Forward momentum is your friend. 4) Save some for yourself right off the top. Even 1% will add up over time. Plus, seeing your “profit’ will motivate you even more.5) Stop trading hours for dollars. Once you have momentum, shift your mindset to passive and residual income. Set a course. Stay the course.Dreams come true when you have the resources to make them happen. Make ONE DOLLAR more today than yesterday. Use it to build a better life. Learn more about your ad choices.

How To Figure Out Your PurposeOver the years, the most popular question I get from the MOVERS around here is -“How do I find my purpose and face my passion?”If I were to expand on that question, it would be -“What can I do today to find my purpose and overcome the fear of living my passion?”In other words, it’s one thing to find it; it’s another thing to get yourself to do it.Today we’ll focus on finding it.In my quest to live passionately, I always follow a 5-step process for discovering and facing your passion. It has never failed me.1) Explore the possibilities that are available to you. The more, the better. Many things will interest you, and you should be willing to allow them into your life. 2) Pay attention to what gets and keep your attention. Don’t fight the feeling. Just follow the urge to explore.3) Deep dive into the things shoving themselves into your life and immersing yourself.4) When you find yourself fascinated and nearly obsessed, even if it makes no sense, you are heading a new path. Don’t be surprised if it is nothing you’ve ever considered before.The formula is simple: Exploration + Fascination = Facing Your PassionWhile there can be several strategic steps within the steps above, the more significant challenge is to allow yourself to follow what you find. Once you find it, be sure you live it.

How Do You Feel SessionsHow much better would your day be if you knew what surprises lurked around the corner?While you can’t predict everything, you can prepare for most things using “How Do I Feel Strategy Sessions.”Here’s how it works:1) Once a month, take a few minutes and review what’s going on in your life. Your job. Your vacations. Your relationships. Your goal is to recognize what is likely to require your attention.2) As you form your list, consider every possible scenario and expected outcome. Imagine what may happen and craft a plan for handling it in your favor.3) When the situation arrives, remember how you decided to handle it and stay in control.Using a pre-planned response is a great way never to be surprised again.

Interpret Your CallingIs the Universe whispering and nudging you to move in a specific direction? Before I go on, I must admit that I am certainly not an expert in the Universe or it works in our life. The magic of gravity is enough to blow my mind, and the only Secret I know is that you are the only one in charge of getting what you want in your life.But what if you know that Universe is speaking to you? Calling you, compelling you to get off the sofa and do what you say you want to do? But you still won’t do it?Many years ago, I was in the habit of listening to those voices whispering inside my head and following whatever I thought they said for me to do. Eventually, after many false starts, I realized the messages were not black or white. There didn’t seem to be any particular order, and they were almost always out of context with my life. In other words, mindlessly following my feelings often ended with me not getting what I wanted, and whatever I wanted to get away from became more assertive in my life.One night at about 3 AM, a thought popped into my head—“Maybe I’m not supposed to do what I’m hearing? Maybe I’m stuck in my thinking, and the Universe is giving me more of what I’m focused on.You get what you focus on. That’s a basic rule of life. It made sense to me that whatever I was focused on would linger in my brain until I questioned it from a different angle - whether I wanted to your not. That’s when I started flipping the script and created my 180 Degree Rule.Now, when a thought pops into my head and convinces me of the direction I’m supposed to run with all my enthusiasm, I pause and ask—“What if it really means I’m supposed to move away instead of forward?”With that new way of thinking, everything changed. It didn’t get easier, and sometimes took time to choose a path. Still, questioning the context of the Universal wisdom as it applied to my current life and experience allowed me to avoid dead ends and frustration. And another thing happened…My life became more balanced and calm by going into “trust but verify” mode. Instead of chasing dreams of what might be a reality, I focused on adjusting my reality to be more like the vision I held in my heart.When the Universe speaks to you, it doesn’t always include context and directions. Take a minute to decide if you’re supposed to move toward or away, and clarity will emerge. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Scripting Your LifeIn the world of Scott Logic, I’ve always fought my advice that said -When life is predictable, scripted, and process-oriented - BORING - life gets as excited as you ever dreamed it could be.As a guy who likes excitement in my day, you can see why I would prefer to ignore that wisdom - and I’m not alone. Still, I don’t miss it. I prioritize that way of thinking at all cost. Let’s talk about that ‘scripted’ part of living.While I love a good spontaneous day, I’ve learned that the more scripted and predictable my day, the less stress I have and the more I get done. All that means is that I know what I’ll be doing throughout the day, when I’ll be doing it, and what time I’m done for the day. Frankly, I can usually tell you weeks in advance what I’ll be doing. Maybe that’s why when somebody asks me when I’m available for a meeting, I never need to check my calendar. I already know because everything is already in place.Next, I think you should live a process-oriented life.The best way to explain what I mean is to use goals as an example. Most people set goals and focus on the outcome of achieving that goal. If it’s weight loss, your goal may be to lose 50 pounds. While that’s not a bad thing, focusing exclusively on the end goal is a fast way to fall off the wagon after a single, out-of-control weekend. But there is a better way…Instead of focusing on the goal of losing 50 pounds, it’s much easier to focus on the steps in the process that will get you there—watching what you eat, exercising, keeping yourself motivated, and shopping for your future skinny jeans. The mindset is simple; as long you keep doing what’s working, you’ll get what you want. Simple.A scripted life and a process-oriented life is a good life. Figure out what works and do it over and over again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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?

Be the Leader that Sets the Pace for SuccessIs your hair on fire for success? There's a phrase that sums up what it takes to get whatever you're seeking. "The faster the speed of the leader, the faster the pack's speed."It's a simple truth; success likes speed. It's very sexy and beautiful to others.Knowing your goals and taking massive imperfect action always speed up success. Why?People get caught up in the belief their leaders cast. When you crank up your energy and urgency, others feel your passion and support your mission.Whatever your dreams, it is time for you to fire up your inner supercharger and get ready for the ride of your life.

People want to know more about you.3) Commitment - With more knowledge, connections deepen.4) Action - Once you reach commitment, people become open and willing to join your world.Whether personal or business, all relationships evolve on the same path.

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
