The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 535 – Full Throttle Thursday – A Conversation with Kelly Bandas

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/FTT_Episode_535-A_Conversation_w_Kelly_Bandas.mp3 Kelly Bandas is a writer and comedian best known for her popular Instagram and TikTok videos, which satirize everything from millennial motherhood to social media culture. Using self-deprecating humor (with her being from the Northeast), her mission is to empower and lift up other women through community, inclusivity, and laughter.  Her new book is Rookie Mistakes: A Grown-Up’s Field Guide for Getting Your Act Together—which is hysterical, substantial, and a page-turner that’s hard to put down. In this episode, I ask Kelly what inspired her to write her book, where she got her humor and insight from, and what her intention is with her book. She says, “I wanted to send the message that you’re never too old to change your mind.” Her book is light and uplifting for those who may be silently struggling with mental health and wellness. We discuss:   How Kelly found inspiration from some of the toughest, darkest times of her life—and how humor got her through those tough times Her passion for being a writer and a storyteller—someone who can get people to turn the pages and read “below the fold” How Kelly was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety at an early age, and her experience as a failed mommy blogger How people are making it through the day, thanks to being part of a community The story of her dad taking her to a baseball game in the 90s (a time when it was “boys over here, girls over there”)—and how that experience created a bond with her dad, and brought about Kelly’s lifelong love of sports and baseball (she later got hired by the Boston Red Sox) How people get “mired down in their own camp,” not wanting to hear any other ideas and wanting to be right (Kelly calls this “screaming into the void to other people who agree with me”) How she played with format while writing her book, using light writing that’s like “coming up for air”   Plus, we discuss Kelly’s process for creating social media posts, and how her family helps her with that. She shares what life is like with her three boys who are 11, 8, and 6.   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 535 Full Throttle Thursday – A Conversation with Kelly Bandas Rookie Mistakes by Kelly Bandas KellyBandas.com Find Kelly Bandas on Instagram Find Kelly Bandas on TikTok Looking to take your mindset to the next level?  Be sure to stop over on The Successful Mind Podcast Channel on YouTube for EXCLUSIVE content that you won’t find anywhere in your audio podcast feed.  You can currently binge an entire series where David takes you through high level teachings around Raymond Holliwell’s classic book, Working With the Law.  If you’re ready to take the next step in exploring the Universal Laws and mindset it requires to be a huge success you’ll want to check this series out.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 534 – What It Means To Be a Leader

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_534-Effective_Leadership_w_Steph_Tuss.mp3 With everything going on in the country right now, we could all use more discussions on leadership. Today we’ve got Steph Tuss, CEO of Life is Now, Inc., on the podcast with her husband BT, and they’re discussing what it means to be a leader.  Many leaders today expect their team and employees to follow through on things, yet they themselves fail to follow through on their own expectations—because they’re not “being their word.” As a leader, you have to learn to lead yourself. In business, you either sink or swim. Leadership is about getting yourself to do the things you really don’t feel like doing, or that feel uncomfortable. In today’s episode you’ll learn:   How Steph was called “bossy” as a kid, and how she embraced the role of a leader from an early age, starting with her standing up to bullies on the playground  How she became the face of the teacher’s union in California in her early 20s—and how her role as President of the Teacher’s Association came about because she was dissatisfied with how everything was run Why Steph sees a “leader” not as someone who has authority, but as someone who represents other people; it’s not “you against them”—it’s you standing FOR them and WITH them How Steph and Brandon’s weekly grocery budget was only $125, with nothing left over, while they were living in a small house in midwestern Wisconsin—and yet even at that time, Steph became aware of the need to invest in herself  How she transitioned away from the classroom and into a leadership position in her own nutrition business—and quickly ramped up to making six figures, thanks to working with several mentors The leadership lessonsSteph learned along the way, especially when it comes to leading yourself   Steph believes life and business are both an adventure. As with any adventure, there are risks. There are up times, down times, blown tires, heat waves—but there are also beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The idea is for you to enjoy the journey, develop yourself along the way, and develop other people.  Regardless of what conflict happens along the way, it’s about knowing that “We’re going to be okay.” No matter what happens—every mistake, every misstep, every bad result—know that, “We’re going to be okay.”   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 534 – What It Means To Be a Leader Looking to take your mindset to the next level?  Be sure to stop over on The Successful Mind Podcast Channel on YouTube for EXCLUSIVE content that you won’t find anywhere in your audio podcast feed.  You can now binge an entire series where David takes you through high level teachings around Raymond Holliwell’s classic book, Working With the Law.  If you’re ready to take the next step in exploring the Universal Laws and mindset it requires to be a huge success you’ll want to check this series out.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 533 – Mindset Monday’s – The Answer is Leadership

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_533-A_Lesson_on_Leadership.mp3 People often tell me they want to make a quantum leap in their business. They want to know when things will get easier. When you ask for a quantum leap, understand that you’re also asking for a quantum leap in problems. They go hand in hand. Success doesn’t necessarily go hand in hand with things being easier. Many people are looking for a great leader in their company, but they’re looking for it out of desperation. It’s like, “Please, someone just take this mess I’ve created off my plate.” No good leader wants that. They want an opportunity to take their talent and skills, and do something great with it that makes a difference in people’s lives. They’re looking for the potential to fulfill their dream. Sometimes people will say, “I need to hire my own Steph Tuss.” My CEO, Steph, and I always laugh when we hear that. I don’t think people understand exactly what Steph does, or to the extent in which she does it. Most people have no idea what she went through to become the leader she is today—to be able to run our company in the way she does now. If you want to “find your own Steph”…ask yourself, are you prepared to be that leader yourself? Are you willing to put in the time, money, and dedication that’s required? In today’s episode you’ll learn:   The history of how Steph and I began working together, starting back in 2009—and how she was a consummate student, with a strong desire and passion to learn How it takes a certain level of commitment to become a great leader  Great leaders don’t just lead a company to a vision; they also manage and solve the “human” problems and conflicts that come up along the way Just because you start your own business and have a product or service doesn’t make you a leader—leadership is something you must grow into, and be dedicated to mastering Most people don’t want to quantum-leap their problems—they want to run away from them A leader must walk in their own leadership (which is damn hard) before they can become a great leader of other people All the things great leaders must be able to do   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 533: Mindset Monday’s – The Answer is Leadership Be sure to join David over on You Tube for EXCLUSIVE content that you won’t find anywhere in your podcast feed.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 532 – Lessons on Leadership – Part IV – A Players vs B Players: How Tolerating an Adequate Team Will Destroy Your Business

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/Episode_532-Lessons_on_Leadership-Part_IV-A_Players_vs_B_Players.mp3 In business, tolerations are dangerous. The things you tolerate are keeping you from growing and moving forward. If you’re not growing, you’re dying. One of the biggest tolerations business owners have is an adequate team filled with B-players or C-players. These are people who show up, do what’s necessary, then go home. An adequate player is concerned with, “How can we stay the same?”—not with innovation or doing what’s best for the company. This puts the brakes on your business. You don’t want an adequate team. Instead, you want A-players who are above adequate. A-players are hungry. They’re looking at where they can do more. They solve their own problems and think through solutions before bringing problems to you. Someone once told me that a deck of cards only has so many Aces, and the problem with most people is that they try to turn every other card into an Ace. In this episode, Steph Tuss and I discuss:   How most people are raised with the idea that you have to tolerate negativity, wrong thinking, or unnecessary suffering How negative circumstances are an opportunity—like a flag pointing you in the direction of something that needs to be changed in your life  How once you fix or remove a toleration, you can have an amazing outcome on the other side of it The reason businesses don’t grow (hint: it’s because they spend all their time trying to take a Queen, a King, a Ten, a Jack, a Deuce, and turn it into an Ace) The key characteristics of A-players—and why you can’t coach desire Why you must hire early, and hire based on where you’re going, not based on where you are Why business owners get emotional when hiring or firing people, or holding them accountable—and one of the main things you have to learn in business is to master your emotions My company helps people move through difficulties in their businesses. When someone is stuck, we we start by looking at what they’re tolerating. The first question we ask is, “What are you in resistance to?” or, “What are you tolerating?” At the root of a toleration is a resistance to change something.  Your underlying mindset must be to do what’s best for the company, even if this means firing or hiring people.   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 532 – Lessons on Leadership – Part IV – A Players vs B Players Looking to take your mindset to the next level?  Be sure to stop over on The Successful Mind Podcast Channel on YouTube for EXCLUSIVE content that you won’t find anywhere in your audio podcast feed.  You can now binge an entire series where David takes you through high level teachings around Raymond Holliwell’s classic book, Working With the Law.  If you’re ready to take the next step in exploring the Universal Laws and mindset it requires to be a huge success you’ll want to check this series out.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 531 – Lessons on Leadership – Part III – Communication & Accountability: Sunshine Your Mistakes to Make Them Your Greatest Successes

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/Episode_531-Lessons_on_Leadership-Part_III-Conflict.mp3 Today my CEO, Steph Tuss, and I are talking about communication and conflict. Most people avoid conflict because of things that happened in their childhood. They associate it with mom and dad fighting over something…a bar fight or physical alteration … a winner and a loser… or with someone being made wrong. All of these things can feel painful, dangerous, and unsafe, especially when you’re a child. Many of our clients are afraid to hold people accountable in their business, because they don’t want conflict. However, being conflict averse  or conflict avoidant can bring your business to its knees. Conflict is actually a good thing for business, because it brings out the best ideas . Disagreement, debate, different opinions, and different personalities are what bring about innovation. This can only happen through effective communication. In this episode you’ll learn:   How the outside world reinforces the idea that you shouldn’t want to participate in conflict—because you could be canceled for speaking your opinion Fundamentally, the US was built on the concept of freedom—to have a different opinion, have a different idea, to be heard, and to let the best idea win the day Meritocracy means the best idea wins—not the most important person in the room wins; and you can’t get good ideas without conflict Why conflict is required for commitment and buy-in on your team (because you can’t get someone’s commitment if they won’t voice their opinions) How Steph brings a new idea to our team and wants the team to poke holes in it, and tell her why it won’t work and what could go wrong—so that she can see it from a different perspective (this is how we find our most innovative ideas) Why our team has instilled the belief of “sun-shining your mistakes,” which means turning the light on your mistake (not sweeping it under the rug or hiding it from anyone)—because mistakes are an opportunity to grow and learn something new, so you get a different result   We should all embrace conflict in a business setting, and learn to nurture it in our companies. We should develop a healthy attitude around conflict, instead of trying avoid it or to change it to sooth our internal, emotional issues that we have about it.   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 531 – Lessons on Leadership – Part III – Communication & Accountability Looking to take your mindset to the next level?  Be sure to stop over on The Successful Mind Podcast Channel on YouTube for EXCLUSIVE content that you won’t find anywhere in your audio podcast feed.  You can now binge an entire series where David takes you through high level teachings around Raymond Holliwell’s classic book, Working With the Law.  If you’re ready to take the next step in exploring the Universal Laws and mindset it requires to be a huge success you’ll want to check this series out.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 530 – Lessons on Leadership – Part II – Hiring: Humble, Hungry & Smart

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/Episode_530-Lessons_on_Leadership-Part_II-Hiring.mp3 Today, Steph Tuss, and I are talking about how to hire the best person for your business or team. Most people don’t understand how to hire or fire someone. People tend to hire people they like, or people who are like them—but this is a mistake. If you want to win in business, you must hire the best person for the job. Instead of treating your business as a family, it’s better to treat it as a professional sports team. As “general manager coach,” your job is to make sure each position is manned by the absolute best. In this episode, we discuss:   What Steph has learned on her journey of hiring, firing, and team building How most people make decisions based on avoiding conflict and avoiding being uncomfortable How our company made an enormous paradigm shift in hiring by thinking of ourselves as an elite sports team, rather than a family—because nobody wants to fire their family, hold a family member accountable, or have a hard conversation with them if they’re not meeting their KPIs  Specific things to look for when you’re hiring someone—and why you should find someone who’s “humble, hungry, and smart” What being humble, hungry and smart actually looks like—and which questions to ask during the interview process to determine if someone has these traits Why “sunshining” your mistakes creates psychological safety within an organization  Why you should pay attention to how a potential hire is showing up, because who a person is “being” is everything   Having the best player in each position ensures that you can create the right culture in your team. In our company, we say all the time, “What’s in the best interest of the company?” It’s easy to default into saying, “What’s in the best interest of me?” or “What’s most comfortable for me?” But decisions need to be made based on what’s best for the whole company.   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 530 – Lessons on Leadership – Part II – Hiring: Humble, Hungry & Smart The Ideal Team Player by Patrick Lencioni The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni No Rules Rules by Reed Hastings Adam Grant –  Instagram Looking to take your mindset to the next level?  Be sure to stop over on The Successful Mind Podcast Channel on YouTube for EXCLUSIVE content that you won’t find anywhere in your audio podcast feed.  You can now binge an entire series where David takes you through high level teachings around Raymond Holliwell’s classic book, Working With the Law.  If you’re ready to take the next step in exploring the Universal Laws and mindset it requires to be a huge success you’ll want to check this series out.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 529 – Lessons on Leadership – Part I – Scaling: The Key to Scaling Your Business

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/Episode_529-Lessons_on_Leadership-Part_I-Scaling.mp3 One of the most common things we hear growing up is, “Why should I hire someone to do it, if I can do it myself for free?” But as entrepreneurs, the only way we can grow is if we receive support and hire help. Business owners only have so much time in a day. There are only so many tasks you can manage, and only so many people you can talk to. So if you want to grow and scale your business, you must delegate and allow yourself to receive support. The problem is, we’re raised with the idea that we must be a “self-made” person and do everything ourselves. This idea comes from the working class mindset.  In this episode, Steph Tuss and I discuss:   Why people have difficulty being supported in their business—and why so many are a “one-person show,”  doing everything themselves and wearing all the hats (and this prevents them from scaling and growing) How some people get their value from doing everything themselves at the expense of their self-esteem (and how this boils down to a “core wound” issue that says, “I’m not enough”) Why my decision to sell my John Deere tractor and never cut my own grass again led to “more life” for three different people (myself included) How hiring help gives other people and yourself an opportunity for growth—because it’s all for more life How there’s shame associated with asking for help Steph’s experience with starting a nutrition business with the goal of replacing her teacher’s salary—and how she discovered she could increase her earning capacity if she took specific things off her plate   Plus, we share an exercise to uncover the excuses you have that are rooted in fear, that are causing you NOT to hire the help you need.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 528 – Full Throttle Thursday – Soft White Underbelly: The Whittaker Family

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/FTT_Episode_528-Soft_White_Underbelly.mp3 “Soft White Underbelly” is a YouTube channel created by Mark Laita, a photographer who interviews and humanizes marginalized people in society. Many of the individuals featured have survived traumas and are living difficult, rough lives. It’s a huge series, with over a thousand videos uploaded onto the channel, interesting stories, beautiful photography, and millions of views. In today’s episode, BT and I discuss one video in particular of the Whittakers, an inbred family from West Virginia whom Mark has interviewed multiple times. They come from a family that is obviously limited intellectually, physically, and verbally. Their understanding of things is limited. By watching, you can see that the most intelligent part of the family has the least amount of incest. The deeper the incest goes, the worse it deteriorates. The average person probably doesn’t want to see these people and will pretend they’re not there. But Mark brings their stories to the surface.  We discuss:   The range of non-traditional individuals Mark interviews on “Soft White Underbelly” Why I’m on the fence about whether or not I like this YouTube channel—because most people are probably watching it for entertainment, not to help How “Soft White Underbelly” reminds me of when I was young, traveling through different parts of the United States and saw homeless people, interviewed them, and talked to them, while trying to understand their plight How people who live in abject poverty protect each other and defend the life they live How, from a resourceful aspect, even homeless people are able to get what they need to survive What I think Mark’s motives are for creating this channel, and whether or not it’s exploitative How he takes the Whittakers to Walmart, gets them clothes and food, and buys them appliances   Jordan Peterson spoke on the “disgust factor” in human beings and how we seem to have a genetic reaction to certain things that impact our survival. A healthy individual will most likely be repulsed by certain things that would potentially harm them psychologically, emotionally, physically, or in other ways. I’d encourage you to watch the video on the Whittakers and think about what your first reaction is—and why you’re reacting that way.   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 528 Full Throttle Thursday – Soft White Underbelly: The Whittaker Family Soft White Underbelly on YouTube – Inbred Family-The Whittakers Soft White Underbelly on YouTube – Walmart Shopping Trip-The Whittakers Looking to take your mindset to the next level?  Be sure to stop over on The Successful Mind Podcast Channel on YouTube for EXCLUSIVE content that you won’t find anywhere in your audio podcast feed.  You can now binge an entire series where David takes you through high level teachings around Raymond Holliwell’s classic book, Working With the Law.  If you’re ready to take the next step in exploring the Universal Laws and mindset it requires to be a huge success you’ll want to check this series out.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 527 – Think About What You’re Thinking

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_527-Think_About_What_Youre_Thinking.mp3 Very often, we have repetitive thoughts running through our mind over and over again where we can’t make decisions, and we’re stuck in fear. The voice in our head says we can’t or shouldn’t do something, and we’re reliving the past. It goes on and on, never-ending. One of the most common questions I get is, “How do I get this to stop?” For a long time, my rescue dog, Ferguson, did crate spins where he constantly went in circles—because he was abused by his previous owner and was left in a crate constantly. A dog spinning like that is a physical representation of what happens in most people’s minds of what happens when we can’t come to a resolution about something. It becomes somewhat of a threat to us. Our mind doesn’t know what to do with it, because we’re not resolving it—so it spins. In today’s episode, you’ll learn:   Why we don’t see this repetitive, “stuck” behavior in nature unless humans get involved How my dog couldn’t get away from the people who were abusing it, but it still had an instinctive desire to move, because that’s in its DNA—that internal impulse is strong, regardless of the fact that it can’t go anywhere or logically think about it When humans keep suffering the same problem over and over again, it’s very similar to a dog spinning in its crate A lot of people live in the past The way to resolve the mental “spinning” is to condition your mind to the truth around the situation; give it a resolve—separate yourself from the thought and bring truth to it The illusion is that “because there’s movement, something’s happening,” but if there’s no clear outcome on your part, then you’re not really moving   When you’re experiencing the same problem over and over again—or having the same thought patterns repetitively—ask yourself, “Why am I thinking what I’m thinking? Why am I constantly repeating this thought process?” To stop the spinning, ask, “What is my outcome? Where am I going? What’s the direction I’m moving in?” You must have a destination. The spinning will stop once you begin to move in a straight line. You have to retrain your mind to move in the direction you want it to go, every time.   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 527: Think About What You’re Thinking Be sure to join David over on You Tube for EXCLUSIVE content that you won’t find anywhere near your podcast feed.

The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 526 – Mindset Monday’s – What Makes You Feel Significant?

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_526-What_Makes_You_Feel_Significant_.mp3 Many years ago, my mentor Bob Proctor made an observation about great salespeople. He said, “If you look at any salesperson who is really good, they have a completely different belief system and a different level of intensity about them than your average salesperson.” To be successful, salespeople and business people MUST have an intense level of belief in something. What do you believe in? What’s your mission and purpose? When you approach your business, your life, your sales, and everything else with a passion—with a different level of intensity—you can have a significant impact in what you do. To understand this, we can look at people who do missionary work. They need a high level of intensity and belief to be able to go somewhere and convert people to Christianity (or whatever religion they have). The amount of rejection and ridicule these folks get is unbelievably intense. In today’s episode you’ll learn:   How I felt like I was on a mission (even before I started my business) because there was a sense of purpose for me Everyone has a specific purpose—given to them by God—and it’s the reason why we’re all here Your job is to discover your purpose inside of yourself, and nobody else can tell you what it is Your purpose, mission, and how you help people should be where you get your significance and fulfillment from—by doing whatever you’re put here to do Why you should love the work you’re doing, no matter what you’re doing, and do it to the best of your ability—because that’s what you have to offer humanity Human beings need the cycle of “ups and downs,” which are a part of the law of rhythm  Why we need to stay focused on our purpose—on the things we’re here to do—even during these strange times   When you know your purpose, you also know what NOT to get involved in, because it’s not part of your purpose.   Links & Resources The Successful Mind Podcast on YouTube – Episode 526: Mindset Monday’s – What Makes You Feel Significant?
