    Podcast Summary

    • The real fight is with yourselfTo reach your goals, constantly improve and upgrade yourself daily, focus on production over consumption, and commit to daily disciplines for success.

      True peace comes from constant self-improvement and battling your own mind every day. The real fight is not with external forces, but with yourself. You are the only one holding yourself back. To reach your goals, you must become obsessed with improvement and upgrade yourself daily. Your values must shift from consumption to production. Success requires daily disciplines, such as eating healthy, working out, and excelling in your career and family life. Change doesn't wait for the perfect moment, so start now and get in the game. Don't let excuses keep you from reaching your full potential. It's the day-to-day actions that build your superpower and make you an unstoppable force in life. Most things that never get done never get started, so take the first step and commit to your personal growth.

    • Embrace the process of growth and stay focused on your goalsDeveloping a disciplined mindset and taking action towards goals, even during challenges and setbacks, is essential for avoiding bitterness and achieving excellence. No shortcuts, embrace the struggle and learn from it.

      Developing a disciplined mindset and taking action towards your goals is essential to avoiding bitterness and complacency. Waking up each day with a clear agenda and committing to executing on it, even when faced with challenges and setbacks, is the key to building a legacy and achieving excellence. It's important to remember that there are no shortcuts and that the struggle and hard work are necessary for growth. Embrace the process, learn from it, and stay focused on your goals, even when it may be uncomfortable or difficult. By doing so, you will come out on top in the long run.

    • Working towards a goal shapes and forms usPutting in effort and dedication towards a goal makes us more attached and resilient, ultimately leading to greatness.

      Becoming a champion or achieving any great goal requires hard work and dedication. The speaker emphasizes that wishing for something isn't enough; one must be willing to put in the effort and grind towards their goal. The process of working towards something gives us a deeper attachment to it and makes us less likely to give up. Cats, who have little invested, can easily give up, but when we've sacrificed and worked hard for something, we become attached and are more resilient. The speaker encourages us to aim for legend status, as it's the process of getting there that truly shapes and forms us. We don't become champions on the field or when we're being watched; we become champions in the dark, during our personal grind and dedication to our craft. It's the small, everyday actions and choices that ultimately lead to greatness.

    • Work harder and faster than competitionPersistence and determination are key to overcoming obstacles and reaching goals, even with limited resources.

      Time is precious and in order to succeed, you need to work harder and faster than your competition. The speaker emphasizes the importance of waking up early and putting in extra effort to get ahead. He shares his personal experience of achieving success with limited resources by staying focused on his dream and not giving up despite setbacks. The underlying message is that persistence and determination are key to overcoming obstacles and reaching your goals. The process of striving for success can be difficult and challenging, but it's worth it in the end. So, dream big, work hard, and never give up.

    • Keep dreaming and using your imaginationDon't let obstacles or criticism stop you from pursuing your dreams, keep imagining new possibilities.

      No matter what obstacles come your way, keep dreaming and using your imagination. When faced with criticism or adversity, it's easy to give up on your goals. But, as the speaker encourages, don't let that stop you. Keep focusing on your dream and continue to imagine new possibilities. Whether you're broke or rich, under every circumstance, let your imagination be your guide. The true success lies in pursuing your dreams and not letting anything get in the way.

    Episode 102: Journaling in a whole NEW WAY!

    Episode 102: Journaling in a whole NEW WAY!

    Do you journal?  If so, how do you journal?  What do you journal about?  Do you have a specific purpose and goal for your journaling?

     

    In today’s episode, Kelly shares that she has always journaled her goals using Rachel Hollis’ Start Your Day journal, where you write 5 things you are grateful for, and then 10 goals written in present tense, as if it is already done/accomplished.  But just recently, Kelly was challenged to approach journaling in a very different way.

    She was challenged to take some time and reflect back on all the “wins” (big and small) from 2023, and just start writing.  To allow the thoughts and feelings to come up, the roadblocks, the friends, the struggles, the things you accomplished ....but the magic happened when Kelly paused for a simple prayer, and then said to herself:  “ But if I am honest….”  and then she just let her pen start to move and the thoughts just poured out on the page, unfiltered.

     

    Have you ever journalled like this?  There are several ways we can approach journaling:

    • Goal setting and visualization

    • Gratitude

    • Process emotions and challenging circumstances

    • Reflection on past accomplishments and struggles

    • Recount daily activities

    • And many more…..

     

    The main message from today’s podcast is don’t be afraid to try a new way of journaling.  Allow your heart and pen to lead you and just start writing.  We think you are going to enjoy the discoverings and truths you will uncover!

    Episode 74: Symptoms of Lack of Persistence

    Episode 74: Symptoms of Lack of Persistence

    Do you have goals and passions but have not taken action to “make them happen?”  Did you hit a disappointment or perceived failure and now feel stuck there?  This episode spoke to all 3 of us even as we were recording it.

    We dove into a section in the Chapter called “Persistence” in the book Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill.  Sara and Kelly shared how they have been feeling like they have not been taking action in the pursuit of their dreams, and feeling stuck in what to do to get rid of that feeling.

    Here are a few of the Symptoms of Lack of Persistence we touched on:

    1. Failure to recognize and clearly define exactly what you want.

        10. Willingness, even eagerness, to quit at the first sign of defeat.

        11. Lack of organized plans, placed in writing where they may be analyzed.

        12. The habit of neglecting to move on ideas, or grasp opportunity when it presents itself

        13. Wishing instead of willing.

        14. Habit of compromising with poverty instead of aiming at riches–a general absence of ambition to be, to do, and to own.

    Episode 51: Are Your Paradigms Working For You or Against You?

    Episode 51: Are Your Paradigms Working For You or Against You?

    Thanks again for joining us!  Today’s topic is Paradigms!  Before I joined my business coaching program, I had never heard of paradigms and had no idea what they were let alone how they impacted my daily life and my preferred future!  This is huge because Bob Proctor’s definition of paradigms is this:  A set of habitual behaviors and beliefs that almost exclusively determine your results.  So what does this mean?  It means that we have habitual thinking, beliefs, and behaviors running our life, and so much of them we are not even aware of.

     

    But the good news is this:  Paradigms are not good or bad, but can be either, depending on the thoughts, beliefs, and habitual behaviors we CHOOSE each day!  This allows us to take back our power, to take responsibility for our results, and step in the direction of the preferred future we desire!

     

    Becoming AWARE is the first step to creating the paradigms that serve you, instead of just running in the “ruts” of our “stinkin’ thinking!”  In this podcast, we help you understand what paradigms are, the role they play in our lives, and also give you some practical suggestions for helping you uncover the paradigms that are holding you back from that preferred future you desire!  Listen in for more of the details and be encouraged!  You have us in your corner, and we are here for you!  Connect with us in our free Facebook community: 

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/wakeupanddream/ to learn more and connect with others that are facing the same challenges as you!

     

    Please share this episode with a friend or family member that is desiring to shift their results and make 2023 amazing! Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!

    Episode 100:  Take Action & Watch your Confidence Rise!

     

    Yahoo!  We are celebrating the 100th episode of “Wake Up and Dream” and we are SO grateful for YOU, our faithful listeners!  We have been on this amazing journey of growth and becoming the best version of ourselves, and we would love to reach even MORE people, so thank  you for sharing these episodes with your friends and family, following us on Instagram and/or Youtube!

     

    Today’s episode was all about taking ACTION as a way to build confidence!  Taking action, making decisions, stepping out in the direction you are feeling lead in can be uncomfortable and even down-right scary at times!  But trusting our intuition and mustering up an ounce of bravery is all we need to do to take the next step.  Lisa shared the analogy of the flashlight as a visual tool to help us realize we do not need to know the end result.  A flash light illuminates the “next step” not the entire pathway.  In the same way, we want to encourage you to simply get brave and take that next step.  Release fear, perfectionism, and just take that next step!

     

    Life is about taking that next step!  We want to evolve into a better version of ourselves, not get to the end of our life realizing we are pretty much the same as decades before.  Life isn't’ just about breathing until we breathe our final breath.  Life is about living, evolving, becoming, and that all requires us to take that next step, take action!  And the beautiful result will be increased confidence to take another step!
