Ep 194: Who Really Cares Who Pays Attention To You?

Start Your Transformation Now If you’re like most people and if you were asked “How soon do you quit?” you’d probably be inclined to not admit it if you were so inclined.  This episode is obviously about not quitting before you create what you want in life.  If we look at simple motivation we’ll discover and we have heard things like, “You have to keep your nose to the grindstone” but if that really worked then wouldn’t we all just keep our noses to the grindstone? Obviously, we don’t keep moving forward when things get tough, most of us just quit.  When we’re talking about perseverance it comes down to a few things. In this episode, I talk about responsibility, self-integrity, resources, and resourcefulness. And, I talk a bit about the brain-based influences of following through and not quitting.  The predominant themes in this call are resourcefulness and creativity. Meaning, we often quit because we lack resourcefulness and/or creativity.  In simple terms, when we hit a wall, instead of “figuring it out” we lack the creativity to figure it out and most of us quit. And, then we wonder why we never have what we truly want in life.  When we recognize that resourcefulness is one of the most powerful traits we can have and exhibit we can then make just about anything happen that we want to in life.  I also hop over to intention, will, and making things happen in life instead of quitting.  Transformational Takeaway: The bottom line is that if you don’t have something in life that you want then you are not being 100% responsible for making it happen and you’re not being resourceful enough to be responsible.

Start Your Transformation Now This was a fun episode for me. As I was going through some old notes in the past few days and listening to some audios at the gym I picked five distinctions of thinking that I know can add huge value to your life if you ingrate them into your thinking.  I’ll give you a synopsis of the episode and the five distinctions and you have to listen to the episode to get my full explanations.  1) Gratitude Is Not Given With Your Mouth  2) You’ll See It When You Believe It Is Not Always True 3) Assuming Isn’t Going To Make An “ASS Of You And Me.”  4) If You Desire Something In Life, Ask The One You Have Confidence In To Assist You.  5) How Long Will It Take You To Change Your Life?  Mentioned Resources: EPISODE 9: How The Law Of Attraction Repels The Money And Abundance You Want Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill Disclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase.

Start Your Transformation Now There is probably not a person who listens to this podcast that does not get into fear.  Fear is debilitating. It’s more debilitating than any disease, and many times fear itself keeps people “in” disease.  I am currently finishing this Spring’s offering of my 14-week transformational program and I observe many people getting into fear and that is exactly what inspired this episode.  Many people want to enroll in my full immersion program and they are afraid of the investment. Even though I have a full 100% guarantee and 1000s of student video testimonials, many don’t believe it and still get into fear.  I used to have these six questions in my Be-Do-Have series that I also just finished, but I took them out of it this round. I should have left them in.  Normally, I’d tell you the six questions, but I won’t because you have to listen to the podcast to hear them all. Listen to them carefully. These questions are ones I have used personally for many years.  These days I get into very few fears, which I discuss in the episode, but all of these questions have helped me tremendously at one time or another in my life. And, they can do the same for you when you write them down and ask yourself one or all of these questions the next time fear strikes you.  Chew on them, ponder them, see how they apply to your own life and how you can use them to get out of your comfort zones.  They work. Use them. Mentioned Resources: EPISODE 104: Using Your Intention And Will To Create And Manifest Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now This was an interesting interview with one of my former students, Prashant, because it covered a lot of topics.  We talked about how Prashant went from “over commanding others and possessiveness” to an amazing relationship with his wife.  What’s fascinating, to say the least, is that when he heard me say a single thing about death, it released him from a lifetime of fear about death and he also let released his “over commanding others” as a result.  Prashant's earlier nature was to control and command others, even his wife. Of course, when he stopped that, his relationship with his wife transformed.  We go on and talk about the extreme power of ANYI and how that can bring huge abundance into your life just as it did for him. It freed him from chasing business to literally transforming his business to the degree that he could turn down millions of dollars of potential business.  Further, we talked about the power of habits and how that has helped him transform his health and body.  Self-awareness came up and the importance of “taking action” with self-awareness.  And, finally, we discussed the subtle difference that many to most people into personal development miss and that is the deeper value of studying personal development and taking action on it.  As I said, this interview was all over but I’m certain many people will relate to a lot of it and find value.  Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now The headline of this podcast sounds like motivational hyperbole, but is it? In this episode, I interview one of my students, Leticia, and she’ll share with you how before we met me she was driven by “negativity, feelings of being lost, broken, unworthy and in complete victim mentality”.  Not only all this, but she also had “no idea” she was living this way because it had become a way of life for her. She became blind to her complete unhappiness because she lived it subconsciously and had lived it for so many years.  This goes to show all of us. No matter where we are in life, our external life is a reflection of our internal subconscious paradigms.  As I have said many times and you’ll hear her say, “She was operating from her head and not her heart.” And, this is vital that we all come to know this. I was the same when younger in life and what I have found is that when we work from our analytical mind we only find ourselves in the same traps over and over again.  On top of all this, she was in an “abusive relationship” and she felt like she could not get out because the world was in the midst of covid, her husband was disabled and she had no mobility because of lockdowns. Some can relate to her story, come cannot as many of us are not “that far down in life,” but everyone listening can realize one thing – no matter where you are in life you can change and have a better life when you work from one context.  And, that context is this…. “That’s enough, you are worthy.”  The reason most of us don’t have what we want in life is because we do not feel worthy.  Listen, learn, apply enjoy Mentioned Resources: Solve the three BIGGEST problems with 3 words Click here to register for The Be Do Have 3-Part Training Series starting March 3 Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now This is a really fascinating episode that demonstrates it does not matter where we came from because what really matters is how to choose to manage our thinking and our circumstances.  In this episode, I interview Priscilla, one of my current TCP students. As you’ll hear her say, she grew up in low-income housing and in an unpredictable world of chaos given her housing.  As a result of this, she learned at an early age to live in a constant state of anxiety and panic and she lives from catastrophic thinking.  As you’ll hear, she’s an ardent student of personal development, and she’s even been to some well-known programs, and though she learned a lot, she still had the debilitating past emotions and anxiety and trauma in her life.  Like many people, she had become so conditioned to the anxiety and catastrophic thinking that she had come to believe that “this is just the way life is.” Millions of people all around the world live constant states of anxiety, and hopefully, her story will be a beacon of hope and light to them. We don’t have to live in and with anxiety, most of us just don’t know any different.  Some huge takeaways from this episode are also that she “thought she knew it all” as she was going through my transformational coaching program, yet, even thinking this, she still had all the negative emotions and she quickly discovered that despite her foray into personal development for years, she never changed her subconscious context, hence, she kept repeating all the old debilitating thinking over and over again. This lead her to realize that working from what she thought she already knew was one of her biggest obstacles to getting the true transformation she wanted.  As well, she’ll reinforce how her life has gone from “work” to a life of revitalization and service, and she made this happen.  Transformational Takeaway: It does not matter what your past is or where you came from, what matters are your choices and your subconscious identity.

Start Your Transformation Now A few times a year I do LIVE coaching on Instagram. Candidly I think I could have done a better job on the last LIVE session but my team thought there were some nuggets in there that people could benefit from. So, I agreed to use the session as a podcast episode.  When I do NO BS coaching, it’s always a LIVE session and I cut right to the heart of the matter of what people are trying to work through.  In this episode, there were 5 “Hot Seats.”  Hot seat #1 was Patty, who was stuck on how to put herself out there with her new business venture. If you’re wanting to do something in life but you’re stuck or you’re in fear, then my conversation with Patty will resonate with you.  Hot seat #2 was Randy- Randy didn’t actually have a question, but everything happens for a reason and well, Randy shared that he has listened to every single episode of my podcast and it has transformed his life. I’m living my dharma and you’ve heard me say before, “If you don’t LOVE what you do, you’re wasting your life” and Randy was a great example of what happens when you make the choice to go all-in on what you love to do and what you’re on the planet to do.  Hot seat #3 was Christy. Christy, like so many others, has felt the effects of the past two years and she and I dialogue about how to navigate unpredictable times. This one is a biggie. Even if you feel you’ve been able to navigate the past two years and difficult times pretty well, make sure you pay special attention to this one if you’re looking for more inner peace.  Hot seat #4: If you’re the analytical type or if you’re wanting to value health over money or success, then my hot seat with Rafa will help you tremendously. Have you ever thought about the culture that you were brought up in and what it programmed you to believe? This one provided a lot of people with some powerful questions to start asking yourself.  And the last hot seat was with Tia who shared that she has been awakened after listening to my podcasts, especially episode #204 where I talked about what’s going on with the world. She asked how she can help more people. And she also asked a very powerful question at the end. A question that everyone can benefit from immensely. I’ll be doing more episodes like this from time to time.  Enjoy  Mentioned Resources: No BS 1-1 Coaching with me LIVE @ 1 pm PST on Feb 4th, 11th, 16th, 25th. Follow me on IG here to get notified!

Start Your Transformation Now There’s a phrase uttered by Richard Bandler, one of the co-founders of NLP, NeuroLinguinstic Programming. That phrase is: “The quality of your life is dependent upon the quality of questions you ask yourself.” So, in this episode, I have seven questions for you and all of these have been asked to me by my mentor, don Xavier. Actually, I looked at old notes, I wrote these questions down in 2002. If you’re like me you’re always looking for growth, evolvement, and transformation in life and at the least hopefully, these questions can help you with some illumination. Also, as simple as these may seem, you will find a deeper explanation inside this week’s podcast episode. The seven questions are: [3:17] When are your two biggest fears valid? [9:25] Do you manage yourself with your body? [17:29] Do you like living in the past? [24:22] Do you use your left brain or your right brain more to figure out life? [31:59] How often do you use your excuses as reasons? [37:48] Do you fall by your own weight? [40:40] Would you rather have a pleasurable or perturbed life? All of these may sound like a simple snap answer, but when you look deeper, there is a great deal of introspection to be had with them.
