Better Communication Skills
Unless you live in a cave, effective communication is something you need to master to get what you want in life.Have you ever been in a conversation and felt you were not being heard?It's time to step around to their side of the table and see things from their point of view.Everybody has a different way of hearing and processing conversation. If you consider altering your style to match how THEY communicate, you will arrive on the same page.Some people consider this to be giving up control. It's not. When others can understand what you are saying, you gain control. It's no different from traveling to a foreign country and speaking their language. You don't need to change the content of your message. You only need to adjust how you deliver your message to be effective. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Absolute Focus
My wife and I were having dinner this weekend. She finally asked, “Are you going to tell me about what you’re doing for the summer? I want to help.”I said, “I won’t need your help. I need your support.”She had a puzzled look. I don’t blame her. But, I am locked in on my goal - and that needs two things:1) The ability to filter out what doesn’t matter and prioritize what does.2) Accept 100% responsibility for reaching the goal. As they say, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” Anything less will remove you from control.If you miss either one, you’ll find many well-meaning people offering help. The problem? The suggestions they make will be different from how you imagined your journey. As soon as that happens, you have pulled off your path. You need support.If you are setting off on a life-transforming goal, it’s okay to accept the support of others. Remember, your most important supporter is YOU! Learn more about your ad choices.

How to Succeed at a Higher Level
No matter your goals in life, there is a good chance you are striving to be the best at something.Whether it’s the best Mom or Dad, excelling in your career, or winning at the game or sport of your choice. Being the best always comes down to:1) Do what you love and are good at naturally. You’ll have the edge over others. Stay in your wheelhouse.2) Commit your focus toward mastery. Being a Jack-of-all-trades won’t work. Specialists always win over generalists.3) Spend more time doing than learning. There’s a big difference between knowledge and wisdom. Experience is what matters. 4) Hire a Coach. When you’re at the top of your game, working with your Coach will take you from second place to first.5) Keep going until you get what you want. Never stop and never make excuses. It was your idea to pursue your path. Enjoy the privilege of being able to make that choice. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Building Your Side Hustle
Every day I spend time on the phone with excited folks who know they are close to getting what they want. They can't figure out how to get their hands on 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 will have to 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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stopping Burnout
Steven 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, Repeat1) 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 reactive 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
