Commitments to ourselves are the easiest to break, but they are the most damaging long-term.  I’m going to be honest, I wanted no part of recording this episode. After working a long day of constant phone calls, I’m beat.  The reality of the situation is that with three events coming up within the next month-and-a-half, I can’t deviate from the content schedule we developed or we’ll be in a jam.  Where is this true in other parts of your life? Are you getting yourself in a jam because you tell yourself you’ll do something later only to have a new challenge come up as well?  Today’s episode is about getting brutally honest with ourselves and investigating how our commitments are holding ourselves back.   Are you looking to connect further with a group of like-mind people?

Believe it or not, we’re all playing a game.  In this game of life, we’re generally triggered by one of four things:  hunger, anger, loneliness, and fatigue. In essence what these things represent are basic human needs that can prevent you from becoming the greatest version of yourself if they aren’t dealt with.  If you’re constantly hungry, angry, lonely, and tired you’re never going to have the time, energy, or resources to focus on the things you really want to do. What’s the solution? Finding balance. Listen to find out how I dealt with my own loneliness and how you can apply my tactics to your situation.   Are you looking to connect further with a group of like-mind people?

Perhaps it’s because of the podcast or my social media following, but as of late I’ve been inundated with people telling me they want to be a coach.  It’s great. If you have a goal of helping people find the highest version of themselves, more power to you. The question is, do you have your shit figured out?  Without alignment in your own life it’s going to be impossible for you to be able to sit face-to-face with a client and actually help someone. It took me a long time to get to where I’m at because of the all the crap I had to unwind in my life.  Are you ready to do the same? This one got me fired up!   Are you looking to connect further with a group of like-mind people?

Without having a starting point, how will you ever know if you make progress?  The truth is you won’t. If you want to lose weight but never step on a scale, how can you tell if something’s changed?  You need real facts in order to establish if you’re evolving. For any listener of the podcast, it’s no secret that I love pretty much any gadget or toy that allows me to track and monitor both my habits and my vitals.  Getting the facts of where you’re at provides a launching pad for infinite improvement in your life. Listen to find additional strategies on defining your current starting point and how to build a foundation.   Are you looking to connect further with a group of like-mind people?

Doing the right thing isn’t always easy.  In fact, many times doing the right thing is the most difficult thing you’ll ever have to do.  If you’ve been a listener of the podcast over the last six months or so, you’d know that my pitbull Zeus has been battling lymphoma.  After several rounds of chemo treatments, it became clear we had to let nature run its course. For quite some time I held onto hope that Zeus would make it through.  I wanted to hold onto him as long as possible. Unfortunately, his condition had progressed to a point where our family decided we had to put him down. Though it was difficult it was the right thing to do to keep Zeus from suffering.  As we work through losing a friend, listen and find out why it’s always the right time to do the right thing, no matter the circumstances.   Are you looking to connect further with a group of like-mind people?

How in the world are you like Uber?  In more ways than you might think. How?  If you’re listening to this show, I can almost guarantee you’re projecting some destination that you want to arrive at in the future.  This is great. In fact, it’s required to be able to achieve anything you want to achieve in life. Once we’ve found our destination, we must enter our current location.  If we’re not honest with our current location, we can never hope to start traveling toward our desired destination. In today’s episode, I’m going to explain to you my gameplan based on my current location and how you can self-asses to begin your journey.     Are you looking to connect further with a group of like-mind people?
