The Work On Purpose Podcast

If you’re wanting to be more disciplined and have more self-control so you can make changes in your life and pursue your big dreams and goals, there’s hope.

What I found in my own journey, is that discipline and self-control are things you can have and use with ease. It requires just one simple thing – commitment. Commitment is the pre-requisite for staying disciplined and focused on your goals.

In this podcast episode we discuss commitment and how much discipline and focus you'll be able to have when you are committed to your dreams.

After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts about this episode and how you plan to start being more committed to the things you say you want in your life.

There’s a credo in the service industry that goes like this: Under promise and over deliver.

It’s ultimately a concept that helps to set an appropriate level of expectation and subsequently ensuring that that expectation is exceeded. 

Expectation is an interesting phenomenon. Two people can experience the same event, each with a different expectation level and their perspectives will be drastically different.

Why? Because the expectation about that event beforehand was different and so the perspective is different.

In this podcast episode we discuss how to set your own expectations with your family and friends, on the job and with yourself.

After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts about this episode and how you plan to start setting appropriate expectation levels for yourself.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “It’s not who you know, it’s who knows you”? It’s more significant than you know.

You see, when we’re young, we think that it’s impressive to name-drop; to let others know who we know, as a measure of our significance.

Name-dropping might impress your friends, but it won’t advance your career, or provide openings you could never create or strategically put you in places you could never get to on your own.

In this podcast episode we discuss the importance of who knows you, rather than being impressed with who you know.

After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts about this episode and how you plan to start to let your actions, your work and your thoughtfulness speak volumes for you.

Bloom where you’re planted. Have you ever heard this phrase? It’s a pretty popular saying, basically to remind people that they can and should let their light shine wherever it is that they find themselves.

That phrase is really about excellence, about using your gifts no matter where you are and about being the best you now, where you are, on your way to where you’re going.

In this podcast episode we discuss why it's important to not despise the day of small beginnings and how you can enjoy the journey to your purpose, even if you don't like where you are right now.

After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts about this episode and how you plan to bloom in the place you're planted.

We intellectually know that we cannot be any younger than we are. In fact, each day that goes by makes us one day older. But many of us do things that help to give us a younger appearance, or if we're in our 40s-50s we may even do things to make us feel younger (read: mid-life crisis behaviors).

None of these things truly work of course, but I wonder if perhaps we could try adding some other childlike behaviors that could be beneficial to us, to our physical, mental/emotional and even our spiritual health.

In this podcast episode we discuss three simple things that children innately do, that if we incorporated them into our lives, we just might have less stress, more joy and a life more fulfilling than we ever thought possible.

After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts about this episode and how you plan to adopt some of these simple childlike behaviors.

There are many factors that go into goal achievement and yes, some of them start with proper goal setting. But there is one specific factor, that many people overlook on their journey to achievement.

I sometimes refer to it as a silent disrupter because of how harmless it can be, at least in the beginning.

It’s your environment.

In this podcast episode we discuss the impact of your environment on you and on your ability to achieve your goals and dreams.

After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts and how you plan to "clean up" your environment so you can become unstoppable!

The Comfort Zone. It should be called the "don't go anywhere good in life" zone. I tell you comfort is 100% the enemy of your greatness. Anything worthwhile achieving is going to cause discomfort or even outright pain. There is no avoiding it, it is guaranteed. But it is oh so worth it!

In this podcast episode we discuss why it's so important to get out of your Comfort Zone and pursue the things that are truly on your heart to do.

After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts and what results you had when you finally decided to step out and leave your comfort zone behind.

When was the last time you took an assessment of your life in general? Is this where you thought you’d be when you were a child? How about the plans you had for yourself when you graduated from high school or college? 

This is something that often times gets overlooked as we blindly roll from one season into the next and before you know it a year has passed, or two or five.

In this podcast episode we discuss why it's so important to WAKE UP to our lives and not let each day just pass us by, because we aren't promised tomorrow. And each day that goes by is a day we'll never have again.

After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know how you plan to Wake Up to your life!

To Decide. It’s the difference between success and failure, advancement and retreat, growth and stagnation. I once heard Tony Robbins describe the word decide as being derived from a Latin word that means “to cut off”. When you cut something off, it means it is no longer a part of what is left.

When you decide a thing, it can and does have impact. So, the next time you’re faced with a decision, large or small, just remember the potential impact it carries and DECIDE wisely. 

In this podcast episode we discuss what it means to DECIDE and the impact of your decisions. 

After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know how your decisions have impacted your life and the life of those around you.

And if you're interested, check out this ebook I wrote called, I DECIDE.

If you focus on negativity or how difficult something is, or on all the reasons why you cannot do something, then all those things that you’re focusing on, will just get larger and large in your life. It’s as if they gain even more strength the longer you focus on it.

BUT, if you focus on all the things that could go right, all the reasons why the thing you’re pursuing will work out in your favor, all the ways in which you are well-able, then those things will develop strength and show up and out even more in your life.

In this podcast episode we discuss the whys and the hows of focusing on the RIGHT things. The things you want to see more of in your life.

After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know how you plan to focus on all that is good and how you will starve the negative voice.

What is self-talk? Well, essentially, it’s talking to yourself, more specifically, the way in which you talk to yourself. Most times, it isn't positive and when we do engage in negative self-talk, we soon start to believe it for real and even worse, start acting on it.

In this podcast episode we discuss three ways to help you avoid negative self-talk.

After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know how you plan to eliminate the self-talk in your life, so you can pursue the dreams and goals you have for yourself.

Adversity is a part of life. Try as we may, we cannot avoid it. Jesus Himself warned us of this very thing when He said, “In this world you will have trouble….” He didn’t say you might, or there’s a good chance, He said you WILL have trouble.

Yet we tend to act so shocked, saddened, frustrated, angry or some combination therein when we face adversity. We cannot believe we have to deal with whatever it is that has befallen us.

We worry, cry or complain to anyone who will listen to us about our plight, completely oblivious to the fact that that poor soul probably is suffering their own fair share of adversity.

I believe that adversity can be a gift, if we understand and believe that life is always for us, not happening to us. If we are facing a challenge, if we are in the midst of difficult times, let’s regulate our emotions, assess the situation, determine if there’s some action we can and should take and let’s never ever forget to learn something from it.

Are you waiting on something? Do you have a dream or goal that you’re waiting for it to be realized? Or perhaps you’re in a struggle of some kind and you know there’s not much else you can do in your own strength and so you’re waiting on God to deliver you or to send the breakthrough you so desperately need?

We all have to wait. We wait in grocery lines, in traffic, for our test scores, for the job offer, for the loan approval and on and on. We must wait. It is a part of life. What’s important though, is how you wait, as this will determine the journey and the reward. 

In this episode I share five ways to help you wait better!

Difficult conversations can be just that, difficult. So much so that many times we try to avoid having them altogether. We worry that we will hurt someone or that they'll become defensive or get so upset that they lose their tempers at us. 

But these conversations are a part of life. If we’re going to be in relationship with other people, we must acknowledge that it won’t always be roses and sunshine. Sometimes there will be contention or uneasiness or just plain dissatisfaction with something that must be addressed.

In this podcast episode we discuss four things you want to ensure you do whenever you have to have a difficult conversation.

After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know what you learned about having difficult conversations and how you plan to approach your next one.

Who needs a word of encouragement today? Quite frankly, who doesn’t? I think we all need a little (or a lot) of encouragement from time to time in our lives. Some more than others. But I’d like for you to consider what it means to be an encourager.

We know how good it feels and the difference it makes in our lives when someone encourages us, I’d like for us to be intentional about encouraging those around us. And not just as a one-time thing. I’d like to encourage you to make it a habit, a part of who you are. Be an encourager.

Feel free to send me a note letting me know how you plan to BE AN ENCOURAGER today! Or let me know what happened when you encouraged someone unexpectedly.

At the end of the day, when you discover your gifts, when you identify your passions, when you acknowledge that everything about you was created on purpose, you will realize that it was all done so that you can help and/or serve others.

We each have been endowed with particular gifts and dreams, but they are not for our benefit only. Yes, we may enjoy them and yes, we may even use them to entertain others, but we must be very careful to not confuse the dream with the destiny.

The gift and the dream have only been given so you can have a platform through which you can reach and impact others. 

Your People!

Time is a valuable commodity. One could make the argument that it is THE most valuable commodity, because it is non-renewable. It is consumable, but non-renewable. This means when we use it or consume it, it ceases to exist. It cannot be regenerated. 

Take some time to consider the three steps below after listening to this episode and decide how you will begin to implement them in your life today.

AWARENESS

RESPECT

BUFFERS 

Feel free to send me a note letting me know how you plan to adjust your own perspective as it relates to time so you can live a more fulfilling life.
