Are YOU Putting a Cherry on a Dog-Poop Sundae?!?

You Are Unique...Right?!?

Yup...I did it.I made a Coaching Client CRY last week...How did I do it?Well...for exactly the reason she works with me.

Are YOU...Living FEARLESSLY?

No Juice...Energy Management Problem?

What is an Abundance Mindset...to YOU?In a world that seems to believe the material wealth equals abundance, I disagree...to a point.Yes, money and material things can offer us freedom, comfort and style.But...why do so many people people talk about feeling so 'empty and alone' when they reach these rewards?In this episode, I talk about a question asked my my mentor Terri Levine.What is an Abundance Mindset, to me?In just about 11 minutes, I'll share it here.Go ahead and listen...you've got time.

What Do Your Goals SMELL LIKE?Wait...what?Goals have an odor?Yes, they do.If you set them right.In this episode, I share JUST HOW DEEP you can go when you are mapping out your Goals to manifest the VISION you create for your ultimate life.

Gut Punches: Are You Strong Enough to Withstand Them?Life can certainly throw rocks in our road some days.And every once in a while...a gut punch.It can happen to any of us.How do we survive?We toughen up.The stronger we make ourselves, the better we can absorb the blow, withstand the pain, and keep going.I've been tested lately, big time.But I know that I owe that guy in my mirror the best.And I hope you see the same in yours.

Are You Winning Every Day? I am NOT one of those speakers who spouts off phrases like "Every day above ground is a great day!" Just 'waking up' is not a guarantee of anything. But...it does give you an opportunity to chalk up a WIN every day...if you choose to. How? By setting (and remembering) your Goals. Taking consistent action to achieve them. Acknowledging your 'incremental wins' as you chug your way uphill to reach them.

Who Will You Encourage Today? Do you realize how many people could benefit from just ONE PERSON cheering them on today? Seriously... A simple smile, hug, high-five or a kind word could really make someone's day. We never know what others are going through. And your choice of how to react & respond to someone's presence...could have a massive impact in their lives. Please be aware. Please be proactive. Please be intentional. Just like my buddy Kevin was, in this episode. And the BEST PART? The person who gets the BIGGEST BENEFIT out of it... Might be YOU!

Do YOU Matter? YES!!! You may FEEL small. You may THINK you can't make an impact. You may FEEL insignificant. I have, at times. And then I began to notice the ways that my thoughts, words and (especially) my actions sent 'ripples' out into the world...even when I thought nobody was looking. I bet this happens to YOU as well. WHY? Because you matter.

ENERGY...Where Is Your Focus? We can be pretty rough on ourselves. When we PERCEIVE 'others' being rough on us. I recently felt judged...by a blueberry pastry. It all depends on the ANGLE we're looking from, I guess.

Feeling Stuck? Do Something! Not that long ago, life had thrown some situations my way, which caused me to 'hit the pause button'...and stay there. Yup...I was 'stuck', big time. Feeling low. And the toughest things about times like this are: 1) realizing how bad things had gotten 2) knowing how to get out of it Slowly, it happened. And the biggest breakthroughs came when I decided to... DO SOMETHING!

You Get a CLEAN SLATE! Do you realize that every day is a Clean Slate...in some way? Sure, some things don't necessarily recycle every time the sun comes up. Your life is not exactly Groundhog day. But...there ARE some things that you can start fresh with every day. BONUS: You don't need a 'special' day to hang your hat on, to make a change. ANY day will do. What will YOU do...with TODAY? #newday #betterlife #betterchoices #startover #freshstart

One Goal. One Action. One CLICK! Are you the person who has Goals... Out there, somewhere?. And are overwhelmed by how much work you THINK it's going to take to get there. So you do...NOTHING? Or you wait for them to magically 'manifest' themselves in your life? (Trust me, the people out there who SAY that's what 'manifesting' is...really burn my butt, ha ha). In this episode, I share how "ONE DAY, ONE ACTION, ONE CLICK'... Can change your life for the better, and show YOU the path to WINNING. #vision #visionboard #manifest #manifesting #manifestation #lawofattraction#TheSecret

How is Your Self Talk? Do you realize that the person who talks the most CRAP about you, might be...YOU? How often do you step back and listen to the words you say TO or ABOUT YOURSELF? Listen carefully. You could be a bricklayer...or a wrecking ball. For years (decades, actually) I *was* a Wrecking Ball. Nasty words. And dang it...I believed every one of them. I knew better. Didn't believe I *deserved* better, though. Until a good friend gave me a Wake-Up Call that I didn't realize I needed...as badly as I did. #selftalk #selfworth #selfesteem #selfcontrol

One Goal. One Action. Today!! It can be soooo overwhelming to think of all the different areas of our lives, then think of all the things we said we WANT to achieve. If only we could pick ONE...and take an action, today. Then another one, tomorrow. Wait...we COULD do that. Right?

Boundaries, Rules...and Tollhouse Cookies! Life without boundaries and rules can quickly become chaos. In my case, it resulted in saying YES to wayyyy too many things, and losing my own schedule in the process. During a recent Kindness Mission in our kitchen, my wife Tina taught me the benefit of setting up some boundaries and rules for self-protection. It worked!! It helped us to help others. (and it was delicious) #boundaries #rules #baking #kindness #actsofkindness #homelessveterans #homelessvets #lawofattraction #respecttherules #helpthehomeless

Are You Celebrating Your Milestones? When was the last time you gave yourself credit for how far you‘ve come...in ANY area of your life? It can be sooooo easy to ‘miss’ our own progress when we wake up, day after day, and only see little increments, a day’s worth of effort. It’s also very easy to get ourselves off-track, saying: “Well, if I don’t make the effort TODAY, that’s okay...it’s only one day. How much difference could it make? The answer? A lot of difference!! In who you become. In your level of success. In your self-worth. In your confidence. #selfesteem #selfworth #confidence #celebratewins #celebration #incrementalwin #increments #vision #visionboard #manifestation #manifesting #BostonMarathon #NYCMaraton #ChicagoMarathon
