FFP 024: Frustration and Overwhelm In this episode of The Future Focused Podcast I talk about how and why frustration and overwhelm impacts so many, and more importantly, I talk about what we can do about it. I have met too many people who talk about frustration and overwhelm with a sense of pride, a badge of honor, and as if it is okay. Why is that? Frustration and overwhelm are NOT okay. I’m not here to tell you that you’re doing it wrong. I’m not here to tell you that you’re living life wrong. I’m not here to be the expert. I am here to get you fired-up and to share some helpful ways to confront and conquer frustration and overwhelm. I also want to challenge your thinking and help you out. Frustration and overwhelmed or not OK. You should be leaving work proud of all that you did to make a difference. At the end of the day you should be proud of the way you lead your family. You should not go to bed nor wake up with regrets. Frustration and overwhelm the deplete us of the energy we need to raise our families, chase and fulfill our dreams. Frustration and overwhelm is a thief of our time. It’s a thief of our focus. It can create depression and anxiety if not addressed. This episode will help you combat frustration overwhelm, level-up your leadership and design a more dynamic life. You will feel better about yourself too. You will leave this episode feeling better about your day and the work you face. You also will look at your friends, coworkers and family in completely new ways! You are going to love this episode.

FFP 023: The Four Essential Actions of Leadership 12/03/2019

FFP 022: Be Careful What You Label a Weakness; It May Be a Strength 04/18/2019

FFP 022: Be Careful What You Label a Weakness; It May Be a Strength In this episode of the Future Focused Podcast I caution you to be careful what you label a weakness. Labels don't help us and most of them are wrong. Labels often program us with incorrect, limiting mindsets. When I was young my teacher's feedback on my work in school focused on two areas that were presented as weaknesses. They would report: "Kelly talks too much. Kelly draws pictures on his paper and during class." What was once a negative is now my livelihood; I am hired by organizations around the world as a speaker and artist. We need to be careful of what we allow others to label as a weakness and what we label for ourselves. I often hear people say they have anxiety or attention issues like ADD. I have these, but rather than view them as negatives, I see them as super powers. My anxiety helps me to prepare for possible problems in presentations and consulting work. It allows me to analyze scenarios and issues others cannot even conceive. If you can't identify potential problems, how can you prepare to stop them before they happen? My anxiety, when managed is a super power. My perceived weakness with attention disorder is also a super power. I come up with the most creative ideas and solutions. Without a busy mind bouncy around thinking of a hundred possibilities my creativity would be severely limited. Yes, my attention issues are a super power. Listen to this podcast. It will give you a new perspective on your life. You are going to love this episode of The Future Focused Podcast. Best to you! Get after it. Have a great week!

FFP 019 Adrift and Without a Plan: Here's what to do! 02/01/2019

FFP 019 Adrift and Without a Plan: Here's what to do! In this episode of The Future Focused Podcast, I tackle the problem so many people face, being adrift in life without a plan. Everybody needs a plan of action and direction. Do you know what you want to accomplish? Where will you end up over the next year or years without a plan? Without intention? Find out why our best ideas come while we are in the shower, in the car, or right before bed! Learn how mindfulness can pull you out of being adrift. This episode will help you brainstorm the plan for your year and help you figure out what is next. This episode will kickstart a what if brainstorming session for you. Gain a new perspective on why you should be wary of contentment and satisfaction. The next book I will be reading is by. I am so excited to start this book. I have been listening to Goggins on several YouTube videos and podcasts and he fascinates me. Several of my friends are also very into his message. If you'd like to read this book along with me, add it to cart, and let's talk about it on Twitter. I am always trying to gain an edge. This book is edgy and Goggins vernacular is explicit, but his message is powerful and unforgettable. I hope you will consider leaving a review of this podcast on iTunes and a comment below.

FFP 014: Side Hustle or Budget? 07/15/2018

FFP 014: Side Hustle or Budget? In this episode of the Future Focused Podcast I answer a listener's question, "Should I focus on a side hustle, or a budget?" and I elaborate on last episode's "What Everybody Needs to Know About Money But is Afraid to Ask." I am recording a few episodes just on finances and our lives to help people get control of their lives. Being Future Focused includes your finances. There are many take-aways from this episode for everyone in life, regardless of where you are at financially. Most people don't have an earning problem, they have a spending problem. For others, just a few extra dollars each month that could make a noticeable impact on those they love. There are others who will listen this podcast and run with it so hard that they will take their life to an entirely different level. I hope this episode empowers you and helps you improve your life and the lives of those you love. I wish this was taught in schools and I wish someone had taught it to me when I was younger. This information works! Mentioned in this Podcast & Additional Resources: : a book/guide written by Jesse Meecham that I highly recommend. It's a quick, but important read. The proven system for breaking the paycheck to paycheck cycle, getting out of debt, and living the life you want. : If you are thinking of starting a side-hustle, you have to check out the work, blog and podcast of Chris Guillebeau. He is brilliant. I would love to interview Chris for both my Future Focused Podcast and my Wired Educator Podcast. .

Listen to my interview with Pat, and more importantly, subscribe to Pat's podcast. You will thank me. : This book is written by Chris Cuillebeau.
