ETR 92: The Convenience Conundrum In the past few weeks, I have noticed a trend in the people I have been working with. In coaching, courses, challenges...I keep hearing the same thing from people: I didn't do it. These were good people that intended to follow through on their intentions, but something kept coming up. For one person, it was focus that stopped them from taking action. For another it was a busy schedule that got in the way. Then there was Spring Break. Vacation came and habits were completely out the door. In all of these instances, the things that mattered most took a back seat to convenience. And there is ALWAYS a cost when this happens.

ETR 91: 3 Steps to Diminish Your Doubt 03/25/2018

ETR 91: 3 Steps to Diminish Your Doubt If you could change one single habit in your life, what would it be? This is the question I have asked hundreds of people the last month. Why? Because I wanted to learn the biggest barriers people were facing in their lives. Equally important, I wanted to know what change people were passionate about creating. In the end, there were two responses that were prominent over the rest. The second most popular...eliminating sugar. People commonly referred to themselves as "sugar junkies" and wanted to be able to get rid of this habit. The most popular response...eliminating self-doubt. The interesting thing is that this was a trend that even showed up among highly effective people in prominent leadership roles. Most people tend to believe that self-doubt is out of their control, but this is simply not true. The reality is that doubt itself is a pattern that can be diminished with the right habits. This podcast episode outlines 3 simple steps you can take to flip the script on self-doubt.

ETR 90: How Technology is TRASHING Our Ability to Achieve It's Time to Talk Technology... As I rode the elliptical this week at the gym, I listened to music to get myself in a creative state. I have learned from experience that this is one of the ways I generate my best thoughts. For some reason, my mind kept coming back to recent conversations with people. These included friends, clients, event planners, and business owners. They all centered around challenges they were facing. There were three trends that kept emerging: Focus, motivation, and frustration. Most of these people were experiencing undesirable emotions because of a lack of focus and motivation. As I reflected on these outcomes, I kept asking myself "WHY?" with emotional intensity. Eventually the answer why so many people are failing to get desirable outcomes came to me. It was technology. I realized that this single area is robbing our ability to live to potential. In this episode, I outline exactly how technology is trashing our ability to achieve and four steps we can take to flip the script and live to potential.

ETR 85: ENERGY is the Secret to EXTRAordinary 10/18/2017

ETR 85: ENERGY is the Secret to EXTRAordinary The Performance Secret ENERGY. It is one of the few things that all high performers have in common. This is the case regardless of their background. This makes it the performance secret to EXTRAordinary. Think about it. CEO's need it to drive results. Athletes need it to perform at peak levels. And parents need it to pour into their kids so they can teach them lessons to elevate their lives. Then why does it allude so many people? Why is it that so many solid people say that they just feel drained on a consistent basis? Why does passion seem to be such a rare occurrence in our society? Because most people have never approached ENERGY as something to pursue. They have not created baselines to emphasize and pursue on a consistent basis. This is where we start. #1 Emphasis: Having enough ENERGY to get through your days. #2 Emphasis: Creating enough ENERGY to achieve some results and goals. #3 Emphasis: Cultivating the ENERGY to create something truly EXTRAordinary But simply knowing these baselines is not enough. Once you know exactly what you desire, the key is to create ENERGY Chargers that allow you to fill your tank to an optimal level. This episode outlines three strategies you can implement to make this happen: Cut Back on ENERGY Drainers Invest in a Charging Station Create ENERGY Trigger Systems Be proactive about charging your mind so you can realize your full performance potential.

ETR 84: TEDx Talk Uncut - How Perspective Sparks Potential 09/29/2017

ETR 84: TEDx Talk Uncut - How Perspective Sparks Potential The TEDx Talk Perspective Every single day, we make choices on how to respond to our environment. The problem is that we often make them unconsciously based on previously established, counterproductive habits. Let me give you an example I see on a consistent basis. A person goes out to pursue a goal that they are passionate about. They take action and don't get immediate results. Rather than digging in and seeing this tension as a part of the process, they get frustrated and stop taking action. They often tend to take the lack of results personally. This response leads to negative emotions that impact all parts of our lives. And we tend to do this with a wide range of situations in our lives. But it doesn't have to be this way. The reality is that we ALWAYS have control on how we respond to the situations in our lives. That is, if we keep the right perspective. I outlined how to make this happen in my Perspective Sparks Potential TEDx Talk. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwTaWNo1o7Y&t=389s[/embed] If you start taking control of your choice to respond in a productive manner, your entire life will drastically transform.

ETR 83: How Excuses Cause Our Dreams to Disappear 09/13/2017

ETR 83: How Excuses Cause Our Dreams to Disappear How EXCUSES and DREAMS are Connected While we don't often realize it, these two things are directly connected in our lives every single day. When we say this out loud, it makes complete sense. Yet we get so caught up in our daily lives that we don't even consider this fact. Here is the reality. Every person on the planet has moments of clarity when they see things they would love to achieve in their lives. The problem is that people don't tend to act on them. Why? Because deep down we don't believe we can achieve them. So we subconsciously find "reasonable" excuses that allow us to settle. This is when dreams slowly start to disappear without us even knowing it. Losing your ability to dream is alone an outcome worthy of fighting to avoid. However, there is another consequence when you make excuses. In the place of dreams comes disappointment that impacts every aspect of our life. But the cool thing is that you DO NOT have to accept this! Instead, you can commit to building up your ability to dream so you can drastically elevate your life. This episode give you four steps to make this happen. Learn to truly listen to your inner voice Give your goals a gift Do something daily to close the gap Challenge yourself to step BIGGER As you follow this process, your INTUITION, BELIEF, and ABILITY TO DREAM will all get better!

ETR Uncut 8: Transformational Shift During My TEDx Talk 08/16/2017

ETR Uncut 8: Transformational Shift During My TEDx Talk I Was Definitely Nervous I had prepared for my TEDx Talk for months. From the moment I found out I had been accepted to give one, I had prepared for the opportunity. For the first month, I dove into creating a crazy profound topic that would impact people. And once that was in place, I practiced every single day on my delivery. Then I arrived in Hilliard for the event for rehearsal and felt some nerves coming on. As I watched the other speakers, I realized I was definitely a little nervous. There is no doubt that this showed in my practice talk as I lost my place at one point in the talk. I left realizing I needed to adjust. Transformational Shift: How I Changed My Approach Leaving the facility, I stopped and went through my normal "emotion interrupt process." This is when I realized my focus was all wrong. My problem was that I was worried too much about what the talk would mean for me. Through a series of situations, I shifted my mindset back to focusing on giving and growing. Getting back to my two top core values was exactly what I needed to do to deliver my talk at a high level. I felt GREAT during the talk and LOVED the process! This episode outlines how you can shift any negative emotion you are feeling so you can perform to potential.

ETR 81: How Uncomfortable Sparks Potential 08/02/2017

ETR 81: How Uncomfortable Sparks Potential Uncomfortable sparks potential. This is not a concept that I always understood. Certainly not in the way that I outline it in this podcast episode. The reality is that most people avoid uncomfortable at all costs in our society. Why? We are taught that things should come easily and instantly. I have to admit that I fall into this category at times. In fact, this is exactly what I was doing recently with my health and fitness. First, there were injuries that held me up from working out. Next, I got lazy with my diet and put on about 5 extra pounds. Finally, I justified it and settled for less than acceptable results. The Turning Point Lucky for me, I had a trip to California where I stayed with a coach who is in GREAT shape. He asked me to go for a run in the morning and pushed the pace hard. But the coolest thing happened in the process. I realized that I did not like the gap in my fitness level and made a decision to do something about it. Now I am back on track! In this episode, I outline how you can use uncomfortable to spark your potential. These are four steps you can take to get more results almost immediately. 4 Steps for Uncomfortable to Spark Potential Prioritize your top priorities Invest in resources that stretch you in top priority areas Find people living at a HIGH level in top priority areas Use uncomfortable references to drive your transformation For more resources on transforming your life, .

ETR 80: Why Not You? And Why Not Now? Why not you? This is the question you should ask yourself every single day if you don't have a life you absolutely love. The truth is that you are capable of far more than you realize. In fact, you could realize all of your goals and dreams if you just lived to potential. So, why is it that 97% of all people never make this happen? Well, the reality is that we are battling against the current each day to make this happen.

ETR 79: If You Always Focus on What You Don't Have Focus. It is one of my the most powerful tools that we have as human beings. Yet most people have no idea how to use it. Allow me to set the tone first. Have you ever been frustrated in your life? Have you ever had emotions that you don't like? Of course you have...you are human after all! Whenever you have these emotions, it is because you have chosen negative thoughts and this is our bodies response to them. Most of us do this unconsciously every single day.

ETR 78: How "Small" Investments Can Lead to MASSIVE Success Have you ever wondered how some people manage to achieve MASSIVE success in their lives? You know, the people like Lebron James, Oprah Winfrey, and Kyle Snyder. It has to be talent, right? Well, that certainly plays a role as these people certainly have gifts that impact performance.

ETR 76: The Delayed Gift of Setting a BIG Goal 05/30/2017

ETR 76: The Delayed Gift of Setting a BIG Goal "If you have a big goal, it will not come easily or instantly. Instead, it will often be rooted in disappointment and frustration. But if you keep pushing for it, eventually there will come a time when the thing you want just sneaks up on you. This moment will be worth it so earn it!" One of the goals I have been passionate about for years is giving a TEDx talk. It has just been something that really intrigued me since I became aware of the conference. So, I did what I now tell thousands of people do when they want something. I wrote this goal down for 6 months and started to take action. But despite my efforts, nothing happened. Well, I shouldn't say nothing because I proceeded to be rejected 5 times straight by TEDx conference planners. It was frustrating. It came to a point where I momentarily doubted the effectiveness of goals. How could I be working the process and not get results? Yet through these frustrations, I kept writing down my goal. And I kept my eye out for opportunities to bring it to fruition. It took longer than I expected, but the opportunity to speak at TEDx recently came. The interesting part was that it came naturally through relationships when I didn't expect it. The lesson I learned is that sometimes there is a delayed nature to goal setting. When results don't come, we tend to think it isn't working. Instead, it just needed time to unfold. In this episode, I talk about how to give yourself a shot to achieve your goals when they take longer than expected. For more resources on transforming your life, .
