Discover The Power of Taking Chances
Have you ever been faced with a life question, of "Do I Go ALL IN?' If not then start looking for those chances.
One of the best ways to make positive changes to your life is to take more risks. Life is more exciting and rewarding when you’re willing to put yourself out there and take a few chances. Plus, successful people take more risks than unsuccessful people.
With a little practice, you’ll find that taking a chance or two adds immeasurably to your life.
Consider these benefits of taking a chance and reap the power it gives you:
1. Taking chances enables you to move beyond your comfort zone. Nothing ever changes if you don’t do something new. It’s not easy to force yourself to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable, but it’s necessary if you want to experience growth in your life. Imagine the new adventures you can have!
2. Taking chances gives you power over yourself. Most people are risk-averse. It’s not in our genetic...
Deliberate Practice for Beginners
Had a meeting yesterday as I was searching for a vendor that may be interested in help[ing me with a project. I explained the goals of the project and what we were asking of them. The first thing that came out of there mouth is what is in it for us? I knew then, the relationship would not be good business wise.
Why because the ask was just for a small portion of time from time to time, that would benefit them and us. Not forever, but at least to start. They were not able to see the longterm until much later in the meeting, but by then I could see their mindset was not one that would make a good partner. You never lead with whats in it for me, its always what value can I provide. Then two things will happen, your value will make you invaluable or worse case scenario you gain further practice in your craft and take it somewhere else. Practicing your craft even if it cost you upfront and it will, in the long game it will make you better and therefore invaluable.

ACTUALLY BE A SERVANT NOT A LEADER OR BOSS.
Be a Leader, Not a Boss
ACTUALLY BE A SERVANT NOT A LEADER OR BOSS.
Being a leader requires a servants heart and mindset. You are there to serve the organization and you team. That means every issues, fire, concern, problem, challenge is yours just as much as it is your teams. At the end of the day the buck stops with you.
At the same time you are to serve that same team for all the wins, milestones, goals met and battles won.
It cracks me up when people say, "well wait till I am the boss or the CEO?" I was that person in my 20s. Then I actually lead people across the nation and then owned my own business for 13 years and starting a new one. The paradigm shift for me was the minute I started serving others, everything came to me and I didn’t chase anything.

Sorry about the audio...new studio and not all our equipment.
Please watch this short video and grab your sword of gratitude!
Life can feel like one frustration after another. Most of the frustrations you deal with are dealt with by everyone. Being human is largely a universal experience, so there are plenty of ideas floating around about how to deal with the frustrations that frequently appear in life.
While all frustrations can’t be completely eliminated, they can be greatly minimized.
Consider these common frustrations:
- The inability to control yourself. This is perhaps the most common frustration of all. Whether you want to follow a diet, get to the gym each day, clean out the garage, pay your bills, save money, or stop staying up late watching TV, it can be extremely frustrating when you can’t control yourself.
- Be clear on why you want to take or avoid a specific action. Why do you want to go to the gym? What do you...
