Ep 223: Are You A Spiritual Weekend Warrior?

Start Your Transformation Now Ever wondered why you’re not getting the results you want in the gym, in your business and perhaps all the areas of your life? There could be many reasons but a huge reason is talked about in this episode, self-integrity. Are you being 100% integral with your word to yourself relative to your desired outcomes? Do you eat the way you say you’ll eat? Do you go to the gym when you say you will go? Do you lead generate for your business like you say you will? Do you do what you say you’ll do when you say you’ll do it? If you just said no to the above questions you’re going to love this episode because it’s all about self-integrity! It’s all about doing what you say you’re going to do when you say you’re going to do it. In this episode I discuss: [2:46] How you can have a 100-500% increase in your productivity when you keep your word to yourself. [7:08] How I used to lie to myself about integrity (and you probably do too). [22:44] How we speak our lives into existence. [23:12] Why not keeping your word affects your self-esteem. And, of course, much much more. Self-Integrity is VITAL to your success in any activity and according to a Harvard business professor who studies it, it’s one of the most over-looked concepts in business and life. When we’re out of self-integrity, nothing works, we keep failing over and over in many areas of life that we think are important to us. Let me rephrase the last paragraph, things work in life but they rarely work the way we want when we’re out of integrity. Transformational Takeaway: Be 100% impeccable with your word to yourself.

Start Your Transformation Now You’ve heard it since you were a kid, “Be responsible,” however, have you ever sat with that concept and fully explored its meaning in your own life? Responsibility is a master key in life and what you create is what you’re 100% responsible for creating or not. One of my clients once said, “Wow, when I live from being 100% responsible for my life I feel like I can do anything.” He embodied the characteristic and he 10 X his business growth in 3 years. And, what he did, you can do! In this episode I talk about: [5:55] Where you’ll be next year is 100% contingent on what you’re being responsible for [12:22] To what degree are you responsible for your own personal evolution [14:04] Why blame is victim mentality [16:09] The relationship between success and responsibility [19:05] What victim mentality looks like And, what 100% responsibility looks like. Harry Truman said it best, “The buck stops here,” and when you embody that characteristic and way of BEing, your life will change dramatically. Transformational Takeaway: What happens in your life is what you’re responsible for making happen. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now We’re trying a new format for the next month on Mondays. We’re calling it Transformational Monday. In this first episode I interview Jennifer, she’s been a student of mine for the past six months. As you’ll hear, when she started with me she was depressed, so much so, she could barely get out of bed and had no energy to grow her business. Her life was not in a good place, mentally, physically and emotionally. This podcast is not just “Jennifer’s story,” I ask her very specific questions about how she went from very depressed to being in a great and happy place today and how she maintains that. (I think these will resonate with a lot of people.) My favorite part of her story is the “one thing” that shifted in her that pulled her out of her depression. I also think this will resonate with a lot of people. Important. When Jennifer talks about her depression, at no point do either of us infer clinical depression versus emotional funk, etc. I’m not a licensed medical or health care professional and I do not and did not dispense any kind of medical or psychological therapy. If you’ve ever been in a severe funk, you just can’t find the energy or motivation to get on with and build life, and if you’ve ever just been stuck in a “bad place,” you’re going to love this episode. Transformational Takeaway: Live in the present and be in the NOW. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now When people say, “Do you have it IN you,” they're usually talking about resolve and grit and the fortitude to accomplish something. I’m going a different direction with this episode. The Dalai Lama said, “If there is no anger in you, you cannot be angry.” The same applies to every area of your life. What’s in you is what you create. Poverty, wealth, health, poor health… it’s all created by what’s “in you” mentally! In this episode I talk about: [9:25] Identity [10:57] Identity [24:17] Identity Yes, I intended to state the word “IDENTITY” three times. What’s in your unconscious identity is what’s in your life. Sun Tzu said, “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.” Anything you want in life you must first be in your internal world. Even if you think you understand the concept of “identity,” give this episode a listen, as I think you might hear some things you’ve not heard before. Transformational Takeaway: If you don’t have it on the outside, it’s because you’re not yet that on the inside Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now Huge topic this episode and I’m in no way qualified to fully talk about karma, but I can get the conversation started. This week Lynn asked, “How does karma play out in our lives.” I answer as best I can given I’ve worked with a shaman for over 25 years and even that being said, my understanding is very limited. However, in this episode I talk about: [3:31] What is karma [10:08] Why it’s useless to compare yourself to others given we all have different karma [14:48] We do have karma and dharma and we also have free will [19:11] We’re each working out our karma in this lifetime and others [20:21] Why giving advice to others is not a good idea given we don’t know their karma And, just like every episode, I cover a lot more. I even share what I learned from a billionaire about how he lives his life relative to karma.  Transformational Takeaway: What you do to others has already been done to you.

Start Your Transformation Now Despite what you think, you’re not in control of anything. It’s the greatest illusion that most of us get into and it’s toxic to so many areas of life. In this episode I talk about: How control issues destroy self, relationships, families and even businesses I often see it: [7:49] Regarding self – mentally exhaust people and create frustration [8:07] Regarding families – I’ve seen it divide families [10:24] Regarding partnerships – I’ve seen it create “prisons” for partners [12:00] Regarding business – I’ve seen it strangle business growth The reality is, you have zero control in life and even if you think you do, you don’t. In truth and science, your brain runs the show. Your brain is in control. When you get into a car, how much control do you have? Better yet, when you get on an airplane, how much control do you really have? This is one episode of a few I’m going to create on the subject. Enjoy! Transformational Takeaway: You have ZERO control over anything in your life, but you do have influence in your life. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now Hopefully not, but if you’re like 79% of Americans you’re living paycheck to paycheck. Ironically, money is easy to make and there are a million ways to make a million dollars yet most struggle. In this episode I touch briefly on the mental aspect of money, and I make it brief because Episode 9 clearly lays out how to attract money and how to stop repelling it. In this episode I go over some of the earlier stuff again, and I expand a little on things you can do in behavior that will attract more money into your life. In this episode I discuss: [16:42] How small shifts in behavior can attract more money [19:27] Why carrying $100 in your pocket can up your money consciousness [23:11] How trusting the universe 10% opened the money flood gates for me And, to the question of the week, how to reprogram your money identity. HINT: I’ve suggested this before but you and others may have missed it so I make reference to it in this episode. Transformational Takeaway: You’ll never have money on the outside until you first have it on the inside. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?
