Ep 214 RPM - Goal Setting That Works

Motivation is great, ambition is wonderful, but how do we capture the energy and direct it consciously to get a result?

I have spent years testing different goal-setting / organizational tools and recently was introduced to Tony Robbins' RPM goal-setting process.

It is one of the best overall goal-setting methodologies I have ever seen and includes a key item that I have never seen in any other goal-setting tool (that is a game-changer).

Today I break down what it is and how you can get started using it today!

Ep 213 Change It Up (Notes on Habit Change)

If you have ever tried to change a habit and failed time and time again, you know the frustration and resilience it takes to try again.

This isn't just for habits.

Think of all the areas in your life that you have tried again and again and keep getting the same result.

Sometimes, it is not more effort, but a different approach we need to get a new result.

Today, I share a recent example from my own life on how a small tweak has been giving me massively different results in a key area in my life, and how you can too.

Ep 212 Borrow My Motivation Today

Many days, when I first get up out of bed, the voices in my head are not positive.

So what can we do when our internal dialogue isn't automatically positive?

Borrow the motivation from someone else.

Borrow someone else's words until you can create your own.

For anyone who needs it today, I've got your motivation ready to go.

Just throw in your earbuds and listen in.

Its time!

Ep 211 Purpose to Your Pain

A friend once asked me, "Brian, do you think everything happens for a reason?"

I thought about it for a minute and said to her, "Honestly... I don't know. But I choose to believe it all does."

In today's episode I share a perspective on the purpose to our brain.

Developing the skill of reframing is one of the most consistent traits I have seen in high-performing people.

Today, I share one way to apply that skill day-to-day.

Enjoy!

Ep 210 Gifts Wrapped in Sandpaper

How do you respond when something terrible happens?

Career troubles, relationship falling apart, health challenges, life has a way of keeping us guessing.

What's important to realize is that we have a choice.

We have a choice how we perceive the "negative" things that happen in our lives.

In today's episode, I share one of the biggest lessons I learned from one of my mentors about the hardest lessons in life.

What he taught me, changed my life and the way I perceived life's challenges forever.

I hope you enjoy it!

Ep 209 First Open Mat in 7 Years

What have you been telling yourself you would start back up but years have passed?

For me, martial arts have always been something I loved but it has been SEVEN YEARS since I got on the mat.

It is interesting is when we look at what stops us from doing what we love.

Today, we will talk about why and how to overcome the resistance that has been holding you back.

Ep 208 The Blessings in the Bad Days

Sometimes when bad things happen, things we didn't plan for, it can seem like things are falling apart.

When our perfectly organized plan doesn't come together, it may feel like we'll never be able to succeed at achieving our goals.

But what if those bad days had a purpose?

What if learning to manage the bad days was just as important as learning to celebrate the good?

How can we do that when we feel stuck?

In today's episode I will discuss some strategies to do all that and more! Tune in today to find out how.

Ep 207 They're Counting on You

What's very interesting is the dichotomy we face when we want to help people.

We can simultaneously crave success, crave growth, crave to be making an impact, and at the same time be afraid to have people counting on us.

We can go from celebrating a growing audience to resenting the audience for "expecting so much" of us.

In today's episode, I will share one of the greatest secrets I have learned about this and how to get through some of the darkest times in our lives.

Tune in today to find out more about it!

Ep 206 Waiting for Motivation

If you have ever found yourself waiting for motivation to strike before you get started, you know how I've been feeling recently.

When we find ourselves sitting on the couch saying, "I'll get started as soon as the energy shows up," then we watch an entire day blow by and have nothing to show for it, it can get pretty demoralizing.

Today, I share some things it took me years to learn from some of the best coaches out there to help you CREATE motivation instead of waiting for it.

You got this!
