Don’t make excuses! There are so many things that we can procrastinate about and we can come up with so many different excuses for why we are not doing something. But the actual reason why we procrastinate is really quite simple: We believe that taking action will cause us a certain amount of pain. We procrastinate because we all have too much to do We want to dodge things we don’t like. Set deadlines.  Increase rewards.  Involve others.  Create a habit. What's your why behind doing it?  Does it serve you? “Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” - Benjamin Franklin

The struggle to the top is a difficult one. Embrace, remember and reinforce the struggle. Reward to journey not the destination. Build off past experiences.  Don’t make the same mistakes twice. Be grateful and thankful you were able to live that life, it made you who you are today. Be wise, be grateful and be humble “Don't forget where you came from, but always remember where you're going.” - Luke Taylor

To achieve your highest potential, you must learn how to fail forward. Don’t be a victim.  Don’t be afraid.  Accept things as they are. Turning Mistakes Into Stepping Stones for Success The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure. - John C. Maxwell

Accept the blame! Everyone has faults, no one is perfect. Taking responsibility when we have chosen an action that upsets others can be a sign of maturity, and shows respect for those around us. Don’t have a poor me attitude, have it give you power! Not doing good in school, it's your fault Don’t like your job, it's your fault Are you taking 100% responsibility for all your failures, accomplishments, and everything else that is going on in your life? Take ownership of your actions and your life! “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.” -Henry Ford

Your Big Why is the driving reason you do what you do. Simon Sinek’s book “Start with Why”. In it he looks at how great businesses like Apple inspire action and loyalty in both their employees and customers through first and foremost communicating the reason “Why” they are in business rather than the “What” or the “How”. Because before they ‘buy’ the thing that you do or the way that you do it your customers buy into the Reason Why you do it in the first place. What is the difference you want to make in the world? What legacy would you like to leave for future generations?

What you do everyday matters more than what you do once in a while. Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out Consistency allows for measurement. Consistency creates accountability. “I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.” - Eleanor Roosevelt

Everyone wants to be happy, feel good and have a carefree life.  But are you willing to put in the time and effort? People want to start their own business or become financially independent. But you don’t end up a successful entrepreneur unless you find a way to appreciate the risk, the uncertainty, the repeated failures, and work insane hours on something you have no idea whether or not it will be successful. “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” — Frederick Douglas There is NO FREE LUNCH when it comes to success or failure…you’re going to pay a price…you’re going to struggle and suffer either way.  Movement causes friction

Thomas Edison, the American businessman who invented the lightbulb. It took Edison almost 10,000 attempts to create a lightbulb – that’s a huge amount of ‘failures’ before finally finding success. But in response to his repeated failures he said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Break down large goals into smaller goals Reward yourself when achieving small goals Identify, make the goal black and white.  Define success and the small wins Each day is a win! Gain clarity and get focused Confidence and motivation Revisit your goal daily Remember your Why!

At the beginning of the year, we’re all raring to go — New Years Resolutions are set, we’re waking up early, hitting the gym, meditating, eating healthy, doing all the things we want to do. But by the time February rolls around, that version of ourselves feels like a distant memory. Putting in the work to achieve your goal is a whole other animal. At the end of the day, it simply boils down to motivation vs. inertia People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing, that's why we recommend it daily.” Zig Ziglar Tie a goal to something tangible.  It keeps your eye on the prize

Ever heard of the compounding interest penny story? Embrace the suck! “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” -Dale Carnegie J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” pitch was rejected 12 times. Don't give up!   What's your one thing?   How can you give one more and see how the compound effect comes into play?

Are you happy with the way you talk to yourself?  Does the voice in your head help you or hold you back? Your self talk is the running commentary of your own thoughts, or what I call ‘your inner radio’. It’s been estimated that you think between 20,000 and 70,000 thoughts a day. Your thoughts create your reality. Control your self talk, change the channel!

The great Jim Rohn once said.. Don’t mistake movement for achievement. It’s easy to get faked out by being busy. The question is: Busy doing what? We all use the word busy.  It's a busy day…  I have a very busy schedule.  When asked by your family, spouse, or boss how your day was or is, you say busy!  What does that actually mean? When we break down the thousands of things we do each day, which of those things actually mattered?  Which ones didn't? Were the tasks and things you did good for you and your business or were they time suckers or wasters. How much time did you spend doing the things that bring the most results? If you’re in sales, how long were you in front of prospects?  What's the ONE Thing you can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary? These days, everyone is busy, but many are not productive. We are just wasting time. Go into any office and you’ll see people on the phone, shuffling papers, in meetings, talking business…everyone is

Now more than ever, we need to be aware of how we are spending our time.More and more people are working from home.  Kids are being home schooled in most parts of the world.  Daily tasks around the home can easily draw you away from your work.  You are creating habits and you don't even know it.  Fun and exciting things are around each and every corner of your home.  Are you simply distracted or uninspired?Do you often give into these urges to be pulled away from your work?  Let's dive in and find out why you might be finding it hard to concentrate.  What you surround yourself with is where your focus will draw you.  We did a recent show on this.  What you focus on expands.  It's the (RAS) Reticular Activating System at work.  What does your home office, or even your office space at work look like?  Does it inspire you to do great things?  If it doesn't, get out a sheet of paper and write down what motivates and inspires you.  Parked on a s

When times get tough, people tend to freeze.  Paralyzed by fear or uncertainty.  They don't have plans in place for such an event or they haven't planned that far ahead.  Fear takes over...   I like to think of fear as an acronym for “False Evidence Appearing Real.”  Don't get me wrong, fear can be very real, but don't let it stop you from moving forward.   As business professionals, team leaders, sales people, let’s figure out how we can help our clients and customers.  Lets pivot, and shift.  What can we do right now to make the most of our time?   I'm sure you’ve all heard the famous expression: When the going gets tough, the tough get going – meaning when the situation becomes difficult, the strong will work harder to meet the challenge.   We as leaders and knowledge brokers in our industry are called upon to adapt quickly. This can be very disruptive and difficult to some.  If we don't act now we will feel this 3-6 months from now.   We are aske

When you face problems or struggles in life what's the first thoughts that pop in your head?   All too often, when facing a problem, the first thing we tend to do is focus on the negative situation.    We need to rewire our brains.  When faced with adversity, we must be resilient.     Many people let their minds wander toward the negative, which then prompts them to focus on more problems instead of searching for ways to resolve the situation and grow from it.   Have you ever had something bad happen and things just start spiraling out of control?  Maybe one bad thing after another happens…     We have to remember that what we focus on expands. If we focus on problems, we will get more problems. If we focus on solutions, we will get more solutions.   Do not just react, take the time to fully analyze the problem then make a list of possible solutions.  Start focusing on ways to resolve the problem.  Focus on solutions.  Create an a

When the day is started in a mindset of gratitude, happiness comes easily as you are reminded of all the blessings in your life.  Your thousand year old brain is wired to find the negative and protect you from bad situations, it's up to you to rewire it!  Activate the RAS otherwise known as the reticular activating system and create a habit of being grateful. What you focus on expands!!  Have you ever purchased a new car?  Phone?  Purse?  In the days and weeks leading up to that purchase, reflect back, what do you remember seeing everywhere you went?  Maybe it was a blue car?  You started noticing all the blue cars didn't you?  Maybe it was a certain make and model?  I bet you noticed all of those on the road as well.  It's no coincidence, thats your RAS at work.  The average person makes on average 35,000 decisions per day!!  Without your RAS you would be overwhelmed with all of those decisions every second of the day.  It essentially help
