Time frames don't always work for people with ADHD, at least they don't for me if I haven't set them. I always allow myself time for interruptions & ADHD/ADD moments. How about you? Here are some thoughts on that. Plus please listen to tomorrow's podcast for a very important announcement.

Homework, Testing, & Writing isn’t easy. It takes concentration, and time. One thing I can tell you is it takes more time, and concentration when you have ADHD or ADD. Make sure to sign up n WhatPods to keep up to date with us, contact us and help us grow!

It’s that time of year when we can forget things that matter to us and others. It happens. It’s stressful enough right now without remembering little things. But, those little things to us re much bigger to others.. So this is a friendly reminder for the giving inside of each and everyone one of you.

Do you blame your ADHD or something else for things going wrong? Does it defend itself when you blame it? Of course not. So think before you blame.

Lots of thinking and wondering today while with the Grandkids. It opened my eyes again to how much ADHD affects our lives. Also I’m trying to improve our sound quality for you. Let us know.

The straight thinking part of the podcast I’m pretty sure about, but when it comes to the 8 ways to help with stress during the holidays there’s a bunch of ??? I found this article in the Huffington Post. Here what I think!

It’s that time! Time to start thinking about the new year and changes you want to make. I believe our changes should be a revolution rather than a resolution. You should listen in to find out why!

I am all over the map today with topics. As usual there was so much more to talk about, but I saved it for later this week. Gifts and kids is a stressing time. Planning and commitments is also stressing especially this time of year. Hear what I’ve done right and wrong with all of them.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Today being a weird Wednesday for me I just talked about life moments that I tend to deal with. I also talked about a newsletter and podcast I enjoy called Inside Podcasting with a great host, Skye Pillsbury. Check the podcast and newsletter out now & subscribe.

Ever see inside the brain of a person with ADHD? I don’t mean the actual picture of their brain, I’m talking about the thinking part. We’ll come inside!

We all have them. You know, those moments we wish we could forget, but can’t. It makes for an interesting life is you ask me.

Don’t fret!!! I’m here today with some holiday stress help for when it just gets to much to handle.

I never thought faking adhd would be a thing, but I learned differently after picking it as a topic for today’s podcast.

Kids, & young adults are a challenge to say the least. Throw in a little adhd on us, the parents part and life completely changes. In my opinion!

I have issues with using notes, outlines, & bullet points when podcasting, speaking, or writing. I’m better off without them. How about you?

It’s all about time. Never knock time. Never forget that your time is up to you. You define time for you, not others.

I know I’ve talked about this before, but after this past weekend I felt it needed to be touched on again. Even if it was just for me to get rid of some stress about the weekend!

We talked a little about diagnosis in adulthood, but I realized there was more to say. Plus I had thoughts on growing up with ADHD. Listen in.

I never gave any thought to being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. I take it for granted being diagnosed at a young age. After reading a post yesterday on Medium about a 32-year-old women being diagnosed recently it made me think. Listen in.

Ever have a oops moment? I had one today. Actually I had more than one. But, between oop moments and politics life is good.

Do politics boggle your mind? They do me. Listen in to hear my take.

Brain dumping can work. Journaling can work. Together it can spark new and old creativity. Listen in and then try it.

There’s going to come a time when your ADHD is going to explode and you’ll lash out at the wrong person for the wrong reason. It’s bound to happen if it hasn’t already. But, there’s no need to fret. No need for more anxiety for you or someone else. Just learn to say 3 words. I Am Sorry.

Today’s podcast is chock full of ideas for the coming months and new year. Tune in, listen, and voice your thoughts.

I’ve talked about this topic before, but I felt it needed to be addressed once again. I even write about this topic today in Medium at medium.com/markjohn1. Check it out.

Bored with the same routine over and over? I watched kids today deal with that for 2 hours. There were great things going on, but the needed more variety. Just like we all do.

I’ve been trough the mill when it comes to being taught and being the teacher. I don’t always recommend a trick of mine, but for getting better at comprehension I’ll bet this trick I was taught as a kid and still use to this day will help!

There comes a time when you just need to talk things through before you decide. Usually it’s talking to yourself and even answering yourself. Does this make us crazy as some would say? He’ll NO, I say. It makes us creative and excited.

Let’s be honest, stuff happens. Stuff happens that distracts you from doing what you need to do like yesterday for me. I didn't podcast due to other things going on around me. It wasn't anyone's fault but my own. Then there is stuff that happens when you're trying to teach your kids something or explaining something to your significant other or friend. Stuff happens. Listen in for more stuff that just happened to me recently.

We’re back talking about ADHD & relationships. Being more open about how you think/ work helps others understand you and have patience to listen. It really is important to better relations with others.

This is an important podcast today. It’s time to discuss the other side of ADHD. The down side or dark side of living with ADHD. It’s not meant to stress you out, but rather get you in the correct frame of mind when having to deal with it.

Relationships have their own set of rules that sometimes can be stressful. Add in ADHD and everything turns up about 100 notches. Between today and tomorrow we’re going to touch on a load of feelings and thoughts on relationships.

You’ve heard the term a purpose driven life? Well, what if the purpose for need is outweighed by the purpose for want?

It’s that time of year when even without having adhd anxiety builds up by the day and hour. Listen in for more. Plus over the next month or so we’ll talk about ways to deal with that anxiety.

It’s not a walk in the park being a student with ADHD/ADD. Schools and teachers follow a curriculum that isn’t sensitive to ADHD. They tend to label us as having a learning issue when in reality it’s the way we learn more then anything else. Listen in for more.

We’ve all been there. Studying or reading and then we can’t remember a thing about what we just did. Listen in for more.

It isn’t easy for anyone to balance work & life, but it’s definitely harder for people with ADHD. I’ve asked a lot of people with and without ADHD and from the answers I’ve heard it seems I’m on the right track. So listen in.

How often do you blame ADHD for something happening in your life? It could be good or bad but mostly we all have blamed ADHD for the bad stuff. It’s time to stop the blame. It’s time to understand ADHD isn’t to blame.

It’s all about energy. How much we have is up to you.

Is there anything wrong with being a little mischievous? Kids do it why can't adults? Why do we blame ADHD on us or our kids being a little mischievous? There's nothing wrong with it. We should be more mischievous in life. Kids learn from it. Kids expand their horizons from it so why not us? Shouldn't we dare the exciting once in a while? There's something do it I believe and there's no blaming ADHD or ADD. You could I guess, but why?

It happens. We lose self-control when we need it. It’s nothing to fear or worry about. It’s a skill to learn, understand, and be good at.

I’m no expert and neither is Patti, but with a combined history of over 80 years living with ADHD from childhood to adulthood we have lots to say.

I'm not sure downfall is the word I'm looking for? It's all about creativity overload and losing ideas. You need to have a way of capturing those creative ideas when they come. You need to keep them in a file for the days that ADHD gets you down. Listen in for more.

Want a true ADHD experience? Just go shopping. For me and Patti as focused as we are when driving to the store all bets are off after we enter.

Yes! It confuses me. It baffles me and frustrates me, but technology and ADHD are here to stay and we have to learn to make them work together.

There are so many tips and tricks to live with ADHD and I’ve tried a bunch. So I’m going to share different ones over the next few weeks.

I love being creative, but there are times when my creativity takes a dump due to my ADHD. those are the times I try to remember that ADHD is not the stumbling block, but the avenue to overcome that block.

I know it looks like I made a mistake with the title, right? I didn’t. Believe me. This podcast is about living, dealing, accepting life with ADHD. Of course we look at the dark side also.

Yes we love news, but it can be distracting I know I find it distracting, but I stay tuned.

I’m not for or against medication. It’s really up to you to decide. No one is a textbook case. Don’t let Doctors dictate to you. Make your own decisions.

Listening to a speaker or reading a textbook can be mind boggling with ADHD. I’ve found keying in on one aspect or thought of the speaker or the text the easiest way to comprehend all of it.

We’re not talking mental health, that’s coming soon. Today we’re talking about physical health, research, and comprehending it all.

Menus drive me insane. My peanut and sesame allergy does the same. Together I’m a waitpersons worst nightmare as well as my own.

There’s a time and place for everything especially when being persistent.

ADHD gives being an entrepreneur a different set of rules. Thrown away are one idea is great. Thrown away that ideas don’t change. Thrown away are all the guidelines written for entrepreneurs. Give a listen.

Downtime. Chill time. Relaxation. I’ve come to the conclusion that when living with ADHD, these terms don’t exist. Or do they?

How often do you get confused? Ever try a To-Do List? They don’t work for me. I just get more confused. Then there The I Did List. More confusion if you ask me. Listen in on what I do.

I get asked a lot about what it’s like living with ADHD. This question always opens up some great conversations.

Ever have those days when procrastination is a better friend then getting things done? With ADHD you have all the ammunition to accomplish that. Here's a story about today that you might enjoy and relate to. Enjoy the listen.

If it hasn't to you yet, one day it will. The phone rings and there's an issues at home or work. Then someone wants to tell you about something. Then there's a text about a problem. Whatever else can come your way it does and they all need an answer. What do you do? If it's up to your ADHD it isn't helping you out of this one. No tips or tricks are working so you just give up. Has that ever happened? Give a listen to what I've tried.

Some days there’s no getting away from negative thoughts. Even brain dumping only postpones what I have to do. Listen in for more.

This is the intro to a few shows relating to ADHD & Depression. I’m sharing personal thoughts and issues as well as views of others I’ve talked with.

Yes I’m back on the topic of anxiety. Yes Depression is part of it and yes there’s more in today’s podcast.

Did you know there are two types of anxiety? You probably did, but if not let me tell you. Good and bad anxiety lives in each of us and it all depends on how you use both of them that makes our life with ADHD livable. Listen in for more on this. Also here's the link to yesterday's blog post on Medium about ADHD and My Brain.  https://medium.com/@markjohn1/adhd-the-brain-mine-not-yours-ecf4945cac86 Here is the friends link if you're not a member of Medium: ADHD & The Brain (Mine not Yours) #ADHD  #ADD  #Life  #Mishegoss  #Mental Health

Show Note: I found this podcast just a little while ago. It had never been published so I thought I would publish it today. Hope you don't mind? Sometimes it’s all about the wording that inspires us. I’m not sure, but this idea has worked for me and others. It’s 2018 and I’m on a kick about listening. So listen in!

We have a question we need an answer to. Want to help out? It’s simple, promise. Plus a little intro to tomorrow’s topic.

For me habits/routines are important in keeping my ADHD on a semi normal track. One change in a habit/routine will not only change the day, but it’ll throw my ADHD brain into a tail spin. How about you?

How do you remember your memories? Are they made up of multiple instances or just one?

Don’t let ADHD get you down. Don’t let it run your life. Be comfortable with your ADHD and everything will work.

Are you compulsive about scheduling everything you do daily? Do you feel it’s needed to help control your ADHD? Everyone I’ve talked with has a different approach to this topic. Listen to mine and share yours by leaving a message.

It happens to us all the time. Our brain fills up. We consume so much that our brain on ADHD starts to short circuit. We stress over deadlines and more. That’s the time to walk away. Listen in.

Do you remember your worst money or day with ADHD? How about your best moment or day? Take a few and think about them.

A little more on my social media challenge with ADHD

Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, but this topic came up and was running around my brain and wanting to come out. Actually I needed it to come out.

As if we don’t have enough to deal with daily between work, kids, school, or whatever. Now we add social media to the mix. How does that affect your ADHD?

Thoughts ramble on. Your mind is cloudy yet full of ideas. Do you ever have those moments? I do constantly. That’s why we’re talking about thinking today!

The skill of listening is one that many don’t practice. It’s not easy to be a good listener in the first place, but add ADHD to that and it’s almost impossible. But, it can be done. Listen in.

There’s a great deal of help out there from psychiatrist to snake oil salespeople. In the end the help you need the most is within. You just need to find it, define it, and use it.

Do you have any fears related to your ADHD? Fears like telling others you have ADHD or fears of what it does to you? Listen in for more fears we all may have.

When your ADHD/ADD acts up do you feel crowded? Maybe you feel invaded by people in your space? It could even be your computer or the chair your sitting it? That’s when it’s time to make space. Listen in for how I deal with this!

We all have skills. Some were great at and others no so great. With ADHD it’s good to know which ones are your best. This means taking an inventory of all your skills and defining them.

One of our most valuable commodities is time. It’s especially valuable when you have ADHD. Listen in to day 1 on time.

Yes there’s more. Here’s a few ideas for you to consider. Plus we want you to share your ideas so we can put all of them together for a possible ebook on Overcoming Obstacles

There’s no set way to overcome obstacles that I can tell you about. Each of us must find what works for us. This is what works for me. It can be used as a guide to help you find a way if you haven’t, but don’t expect my system to work for you. We are all different. Find your way.

We all face hurdles or obstacles daily. It’s how we use our ADHD to overcome them that makes us special. How do you use your ADHD?

Writing with ADHD can get frustrating. At least it does for me, but then there are times when my journaling when having an ADHD moment helps me later on. How about you? Do you write down ADHD moments and how you worked around them for future info?

Ever have an ADHD moment when cooking? I did this morning and wanted to share with you.

Does your ADHD control your mornings, afternoons, or evenings? Think about it and how you deal with it. There are no right or wrong answer. Just answers that work for you!

Think the days of the week don’t have anything to do with your ADHD/ADD? Think again.

We all have a philosophy of life, but how about a philosophy when living with ADHD? I have one and share it today.

What color is your ADHD? I was asked this years ago by a shrink who was studying me for a report. The answer I gave shocked him. Listen in for more! Also let us know your thoughts on colors!

It isn’t easy. It works for me, but may not work for you. If you’re having a difficult time with your ADD/ADHD it might be worth a try!

Work and ADHD can be a challenge. Today while babysitting grandkids and working on our newsletter my ADHD kicked in hard. Listen in on how I dealt with it!

6:00 am the light went off in my brain. I woke up with the idea of what I needed to do about this podcast. Listen in to what’s coming!

We have a new podcast starting today called Califirnia Mishegoss. It’s an audio version of our newsletter we publish 3 days a week. Check it out here on Anchor and at http://californiamishegoss.com.

Fearing Fear is real. You may not realize it, but it is something many deal with daily. Listen in for more on Fear!

Do you have a philosophy about life that you believe in? Do you feel you are in 100% control of your life? Listen in for my thoughts on this and more.

Just when you thought you had it under control, the heat is turned up a notch. Now it's time to figure what to do?

The news is you can now voice message from any platform you listen to this podcast on. That news leads to our survey.

Yes! There’s lots to talk about today. Listen in for the gory or enlightening details. Depending on your interpretation.

Enjoy your time with family. Mark & Patti

Are you in sales? Do you consider yourself a salesperson? Truth is we’re all salespeople in our own unique way. Check out the newsletter Woolgathering by Mike Sturm.

I read an article the other day about goals causing anxiety. I’m not a believer in this in any way. Listen in for more.

It happens sooner or later. You’re going to meet or be involved with your complete opposite. How do you deal with it?

Yes we are. We’re Back & Ready to go. The 3 week break was long enough. Time to get back to talking.

Once in a while you need to shake things up. Is it that time? I ask you our listeners. Send comments to markjohn1@mac.com. Attention Mark & Patti.

It’s something we all do. It’s something we all look forward to. How do we get there? How do we reach our dreams?

It takes both to succeed. You just need to figure both out!

Have you lost it? You know, the excitement you once had? Listen in on how to get the excitement back.

A little about a lot of Mishegoss going on.

It’s time to embrace fear. Don’t let it keep you from advancing in life it Business. Use it to your advantage.

We make them. Maybe not often, but we all make a stupid mistake once or more in our lives. The question is how we can make changes so we don’t make them over and over!

Giving trust and then earning the trust back is so rewarding. This type of building trust can change your life and happiness. Listen in.

I didn’t always believe change is good. For years I avoided changes. One event made me see things differently.

Life is full of twists and turns and we always need to be ready to adapt. The thing is we are not always ready at the moment we need to be. Hopefully through stories of my past and times I needs to face those twists and turns I can guide you through a few ways to make those changes easier.

Our granddaughter is back today and we’re talking about friendship.

It’s not only about playing Your game, but also knowing the game you’re about to play! Knowing and understanding an outcome before it happens.

That’s right! Very simple and down to earth, Be You! It’s a mindset. It’s a way of life. It’s simple, real, and honest. Here’s the link for Mike Sturm’s article on hustle. Read it. https://link.medium.com/rsg9zCuw7T.

It isn’t always about the best team! The “Right” team will always win out over the “Best” team.

Yes! We’re back as Mentors at Fresno State EMP program and Patti & I couldn’t be happier. Listen in for the update and a little bit on elevator pitches.

Do you miss your younger days? Those youthful days of fun and play. Sometimes as grownups we need to relive those days to put a spark in our lives.

Today I’m remembering corporate culture years ago compared to today.

In life as well as business we all run into objections. How we deal with them is the key.

Don’t follow others to reach your success. Define what success means to you then define how to reach it.

That’s right. Start right now while you’re listening to this podcast. Don’t waste a second on ideas. Start the process of turning ideas into realities.

Often we need to change. Change our thinking, our work habits, and more. There is always a place for change in our life. It’s knowing when to change.

So, are you one of these or are you in the middle? The one who levels the playing field?

We have lots planned for 2019. Listen in to learn more. More importantly though is my talk on positive thoughts about failure.

It happens to us all. One day we’re on top of the world and the next day the world is on top of us. It’s nothing new nor something to cry about. That’s when it’s time to define why.

Yes there is a Santa Clause. I’ve never stopped believing and neither will you after you listen.

There is an intensity for needs and wants during the holidays. Thing is that intensity should be the same all year round. Listen in for my take!

Just some thoughts & musings about life, business, and the holidays.

Just wanted to update you on what’s happening here on the podcast and on Anchor our hosting platform. Plus a single thought for today!

Have you ever defined what the word meaning is to you? How it affects everyone and everything in your life? It’s time to do that now!

It’s great to give and receive, but it’s even better to give with no expectations. Agree?

Our continuation on our holiday thoughts.

It’s holiday time and we’re talking wishes, hopes, giving, dreams, & more. Plus we’re now on iHeart Radio.

What are you thankful for?

There comes a time when we say “ Enough is Enough.” The question is always is this the right time?

What do these all have in common? Listen to find out!

Everyone has expectations. What are yours? Here’s how I feel about expectations.

That’s right, it’s time. It’s time to start what you’ve been waiting on. It’s time. Simple enough. Listen in.

Thanks to Billy Crystal for giving me the idea for today’s podcast. I explain further in this episode.

Family is so important. Listen in as Peyton and I talk family.

A simple question with huge ramifications. Think about it in every aspect of your life!

Here’s my description of my journey through entrepreneurship. It’s about trying.

The hustle is real. How you hustle or don’t hustle is the key. Does the hustle make you a better entrepreneur? Listen in.

It’s always great taking care of others. Just remember to takes of yourself first.

What’s most important in life? Taking care of you. Listen in to get scoop on this!

Thinking is another piece of this jigsaw puzzle we’re building on this podcast. Peyton weighs in on her take on thinking also.

What are you thankful for? That was a question in Twitter the other day I answered. Listen in for my answer and thoughts on taking things for granted.

It’s easy to be nice. It’s easy to listen. Both take practice. Bringing them together makes things better. Try it.

You deserve it and you owe it to yourself to break away from your phone!

Once I a while a health issue arises that we can’t control, so what can we do? Listen in to how I balance those days.

Balance is everything. It’s what keeps us moving forward when life hits ruts. It’s not easy, but it is doable.

Yup! Peyton’s back for a Monday full of happiness and excitement.

Since I lost this topic the other day I thought I would redo the podcast in time for the weekend.

We all need a wow or happiness moment in our daily lives. Listen now to know more.

It’s not just about being on top of your game, it’s about being in the game!

Vague title with lots of content. Listen in and find out what’s what!

It happens. We all know that one or more persons who interfere. The question is how to deal with them?

It doesn’t matter what you’re trying to do, research is the key to making it work the way you want. Life, Business, and Health, research is it!

How do you handles your skeletons in your closet? Also I’m looking for your feedback on the podcast.

I touched on a couple of topics today, but this one is the most important. Please listen in and call in with your ideas.

Pride is a very strong word. It defines us in how we look at ourselves and our work. But, don’t let pride define the real you!

I couldn’t leave you without a little more on Entreprenurial Spirit. Plus I wanted to touch on Coaching.

Whether it’s mentoring, teaching, or whatever the Entreprenurial spirit is needed within. Listen in for more.

With all the news happening this past week both good and bad I thought you might need a refresher on refreshing your brain.

Yes, we all have them. People who are envious of what we have and become enemies because of it. It's how we deal with that that makes us who we are.

Have you ever taken an inventory of your skills? Listen in to find out why you should!

Everyone wants something. The question is what do you really want? It’s deeper than you think.

Some days you need to dump what’s in your brain so you can reload. This isn’t the same as refreshing. This is like clearing your hard drive. Deleting those unused or un-needed files. Listen in for more.

In finishing my talk on refreshing your brain I want you to remember this...Don’t Give Up!

It happens to us all. Our brain gets frazzled and we’re just in a funk. That’s where refreshing your brain comes in handy. Listen now to some ideas.

How often do you wish you could just call it quits for a few hours or days and enjoy life? Maybe it’s time?

A continued talk from yesterday!

What would you be doing if I didn’t interrupt you just now? How do you get back into the swing of it? Tell us your secrets.

In this day and age kids take things for granted almost all the time. There’s nothing wrong with giving to our kids or grandkids. There’s nothing wrong with wanting the best for both, but when we’re gone how will they deal with reality that money/gifts don’t just fall from the skies?

Ah! The joy of life. Simple to think about, but tough to handle. Listen in for some ideas on that. Plus the 1 more thing requires some thought and comment.

There comes a time when you need to work on a project whether personal or in business that has a deadline. You have a certain way of doing things that others may not understand. This is where transparency come into play. Listen in.

Is being healthy your number 1 goal? If not why? Nothing else will happen without health, but in your own way!

There are lots of reasons why I don't podcast or send out a newsletter and you should understand the mechanics of those decisions. Here you go!

Went to the market. Listen in about the experience.

Monday’s can be a time of confusion and frustration. Although isn’t that what most days are like for those with ADHD and without?

Your resume does great things for you like give facts and figures, former jobs and much more, but it still doesn’t give the information about you! You have to do that.

The one thing I tell people when they are trying to advance in their careers or push a new product or idea is to know how to market yourself first. Listen in for more details.

Everyone has a great way to be successful, but it won't necessarily work for you because of your DNA. Be yourself. Take in what you hear and use it to build your way of doing things. Just don't get sold on their way to doing things. It may not work and that leads to...

When it comes to work and life love is the answer and the key to making things work. Without it,​ there is a void in everything we do.

I took a few days off to do some thinking, refueling the brain time and I thought I'd give you some insight into​ what that's like.

There’s the what if and what is in life, but it’s the what’s missing of those that’s key.

When it comes to life, Business, & health, one word stands out. TRUST.

Sometimes your dreams come true only to consume your life more than expected. Do you know how to walk away? Are you willing to walk away?

We’re still on the ground floor building our foundation. Respecting yourself is #1 in building further.

Before emotional common sense comes emotional well-being. Listen in for the inside take.

Knowing your emotional Common Sense helps you to not just make sound decisions, but also helps you to identify the emotions of others.

Lots of news and ideas. Some updates and a little talk on making common sense decisions.

Something new grows from something old.

There’s always a choice. Whether good or bad you have to own it. How you own it is up to you.

Hector Massa & Frank Margo. Two great men that helped to define, inspire, and teach me about life and how I wanted to be.

Once in a while you’re going to have to work with others who have an agenda that just might need some lightening up. Here’s what I did.

Doesn’t matter if you’re a boss, employee, patient, nurse, and or Doctor. The need to listen is strong.

Announcements & Changes coming soon!

It isn't just about presenting the positives and the negatives. It's how you present them to the person or people so that they take away your message and hold on to it and practice it.

Here’s a few ideas of how I define health as it relates to giving advice as a mentor, consultant, or coach. It makes a world of difference.

Here’s a great exercise for you. Define health as it relates to life, Business,and finances. We already know what health is when it comes to health, but how do you define health in the other 3 categories?

It takes a healthy attitude to be successful, but it isn’t just attitude that gets you there. Tune in for more!

Men and depression. Touchy subject. Actually a taboo subject for most men, but why?

ADHD & depression. Lots of people don’t think they go together, but they do. I’ve spent a ton of time researching and understanding how they go hand in hand and would enjoy sharing that with you over the next few shows.

This is to continue my not very personal or fitting tribute to my friend Tony Bourdain.

Wanted to take a few minutes to pay my respect to Tony Bourdain who I worked with back in the early 70’s. Plus I wanted to cover a little more on spontaneity and change.

It’s good for the soul. Spontaneity is like change. You need it more than want it, but you want it without knowing!

What’s it take for you to get unstuck? Listen in for some ideas, homework, and no “how to’s”.

More newsletter changes and updates you should know and a little self-promotion. Hope you don’t mind!

My best advice I ever received was this, Be Yourself! Never oversell yourself or your business. Tell it like it is and you will be respected for your honesty. You may not always get what you want right then and there, but in the end, you will. Be Yourself!

A slightly different take on yesterday’s podcast.

This is a very personal and open podcast about the pitfalls I’ve made with our newsletter. Listen in

It’s all about what and how you tweet or use social media. It’s easy to rant , but difficult to recant. Along with this, isn’t this why we hire coaches?

These are the final 7 terrible excuses for not starting a business turned into great excuses for starting a business Listen in!

More Terrible Excuses, but...

Yesterday I gave you 7 terrible excuses not to start your business. Today I turned those terrible excuses into great excuses to start your business

How many excuses can you think of for not starting a business? Between to day and tomorrow I’m going to give you 14 terrible excuses.

What fears do you have? Think about past fears and how they relate to now and possibly in the future.

We’re trying something new on Fridays. It’s called Mishegoss Friday’s. A podcast where I talk about anything bugging me or I want to talk about. You can be part of it by suggesting topics.

It isn’t easy. We often forget about our own well being, but that’s not a good thing. Defining your goals is the first step in taking care of yourself.

Due to a mess up on my part I have to re-edit the interview and I’ll post it Friday. Sorry! Although I have more on obstacles today and I did a quick review of today’s newsletter.

There are no definitive ways to overcome obstacles that fit everyone. Your personality determines how you’re going to overcome an obstacle.

Where did it go? Things have changed over the years and like listening reciprocity is a lost art.

It’s the audio version of the newsletter. Subscribe now at http://it’ssllmishegoss.com.

Instead of just telling you how, I’m inviting you into my building of a Following for this podcast and the newsletter. We’ll be spending a couple of days a week talking my process for both. You’re welcome to call in and be part of the show.

It’s all about basics first then social media!

Yes! We’ve made some changes you should know about. Plus I talked more about character building and even included an example.

Building your character through life. Time to get reflective.

We have changes coming to the newsletter at http://it’sallmishegoss.com. Plus as much as there is crap going on in the world of politics don’t think life or business hasn’t the same of its own. Listen in for the details.

I found a company that has so much passion about consumers that their passion has rubbed off on the very consumer they build their product for.

We’ve covered a lot of ground these past weeks and to help focus on our next few weeks you need to know your passion for what you do, want, and need.

Want people to support you and your idea? Want people to buy your invention? Trust is the key to getting what you want no matter what it is.

This is a special shout-out podcast for our Fresno State Mentees that we work with. These adults define perseverance in a great way. Thanks.

Perseverance. What is it? Do you have it? Can you find it if you don’t have it? Over the next few days we’ll be answering these questions and more so tune in!

Just a talk on ADHD and life in general. Saying yes and no when living with this gift.

When it comes to the choice of no or yes you need to look at how they will affect you as well as will they affect you. Will they affect a business or personal decision? Will they affect something within the family? It's important to understand their differences and using them at the right times.

When and how to say no is so important. It’s easy to say no, but being able to say it and explain why can sometimes be frustrating.

We begin the week with the end of talking about habits. I also give a quick opinion on the Tony Robbins huge blunder.

When it comes to Habits and success there’s no magic number of habits that equal success. No matter what you read about “the 5 habits that made Warren Buffett, Richard Branson and others successful” it doesn’t mean that number will work for you. Listen in to learn more! Here's the link I promised: https://www.thriveglobal.com/stories/27206-5-daily-habits-that-successful-people-have-which-most-of-us-probably-don-t?utm_source=Thrive&utm_medium=newsletter&mc_cid=cb0614e2d0&mc_eid=9f843a909a

Here we go. We’re digging into our first habit breaker. Hope you enjoy. Why not call in with a habit you want to break? Or write in at markjohn1@mac.com. Attention it Habits. It can be anonymous or not and I’ll answer it on the next show and via email.

Where going to spend some time this week talking Habits and changing them. If you have changed a habit in the past or want to change a habit now call in. This is the show to help. Plus it’s free!

I finally have The Life of Papa set to go. At least I hope so. It’ll begin next week. Also next week on this podcast we’ll be discussing habits.

Life is the obstacle. Accept it and embrace it and everything else will fall into place.

Lots of homework for listeners today. This isn’t a how to, it’s a do it episode.

We’re surrounded by obstacles in our lives. How we overcome them is key. There is no sure fire way to overcome every obstacle, but there are some good ways to keep a door open. Listen in today and for the next few days for more insight.

Moving forward. Something many of us don’t do, but should. Listen in on my thoughts about moving forward.

It’s a simple action that will help you move forward!

The decision to start something is sometimes as hard as closing the something down. Listen I. For the nitty gritty details.

Starting is always the hardest part. But, it only takes one thing to start anything. You just need to find that one thing. Listen in to my thoughts and share yours.

Here we go. Part 2 of Success/Failure. I’ll let you listen in. Enjoy the show. Here’s the link for the newsletter: http://itsallmishegocc.com.

When is success a failure and when is failure a success? That’s the topic for today and tomorrow on the podcast.

You don’t need to wake before sunrise to be motivated or successful. You just need to want it. Whatever time you start your day is only important to you and your success. Don’t let others tell you how. Just do you!

Do you ever wonder how to light that fire either in you or someone else? Do you rely on motivational speakers to do it for you? Why when you could do it yourself and do it better? Listen in for more!

Looking to hear your thoughts on some new ideas about content on the podcast.

Don’t miss out on being happy. Don’t miss the opportunity you can give yourself to be happy & successful. It’s yours for the taking. Just grab it and go with it.

What happened to saying of writing “you’re welcome?” Seems other words like “no worries”or “ sure thing” are more in vogue. So, what are your thoughts on this and what do you say or write when you hear “thank you?”

Changes happen. It’s up to us whether to go with the flow or fight the change.

Defining Your Stride and what it takes to hit your stride.

How do you define success? How about hitting your stride? On today’s podcast that’s what I’m talking about and would like your thoughts.

Bettering our stuff, life,and work is something we’re always working on, especially me. So to day I’m explaining what I’m working on.

Are you judgemental? If not now maybe in the past? Have you been judged? How did it feel? This judgemental thing just happened to me and it made me reflect on myself being judgemental.

When it comes to writers block I don’t have an issue. When it comes to writing I do. I know some of the reasoning, but not all. Have a listen and let me know. #ADHD #writing

Forget overcoming ADHD in your life! Work with it and enjoy what it does for you. This idea and more on today’s podcast.

I want to make this podcast about you the listener. To do that I took 5minutes today to give you a little background on me and what I can talk about. You just need to figure what you want?

How do we understand a persons actions? How do we know when a person is just being friendly vs harassing? It’s time to understand before reacting.

We’re back. Happy New Year and welcome back to another year of It’s All Mishegoss. We have new stuff planned for 2018 along with repeats of last years topics. So tune in, share, and be informed.

Just a simple thank you, happy holidays, and we have new stuff coming!

Creating vs Documenting. Gary Vaynerchuk wrote a great article about this topic which inspired this podcast today. Listen in to learn more.

Thought I would talk about working, leaving a job for another, and changes in the workplace.

Some holiday Thoughts for you to consider. More to come over the next few days!

The right type of questions will help you to be a better listener. Questions that are conversational rather than probing will help you to listen better. Try it!

Today I shared an idea of where I’d like this podcast, newsletter, and future website to go in the future. I believe there’s a place in everyone’s Lifestyle for Mishegoss and I want to bring it to you. Any ideas you want to share on what you’d like to see are welcome.

Yes! There is good and bad of listening and today that’s what I’m talking about.

If you want to listen better, then listen to this now. 2018 is the year to bring listening back. Want to join the listening revolution? It’s time. We need to bring the art and skill if listening back. Why not join us now?

I wanted to finish my thoughts and tips for listening tip #3. Listen in for how to disengage and engage a conversation.

Just some thoughts on life, mentoring at Fresno State, podcasting and another listening tip.

My second tip for better listening and Thankfulness as we go into the holiday season. Happy Thanksgiving

This is the first in a series on tips to better listening. Today it’s about speakers and casual listening.

It’s early I know, but I thought I’d give you a simple resolution for 2018. Become a Better Listener. Sounds simple right? It’s not. Over the next few weeks I’m going to give you some ideas on how to become a Better Listener in preparation for your 2018 resolution.

Today is a little self promotion time. It’s all about our newsletter It’s All Mishegoss. I’m working on subscribers and am inviting you to sign up. It’s free, informative, and it only comes once a week on Sunday.

What is your bad day of the week? Monday, Tuesday, or another? Today I tell about a friends thoughts and my personal thoughts on this. Would enjoy hearing your stories!

A little more insight into succeeding by being you. I wanted to add a little more to the other day. Plus I talk about cooking and my food/recipe publication on Medium, Imperfect Recipes of the World.

Success isn’t something you need gurus for. You can find success within without the help of these self help gurus. Half the time it doesn’t work anyway. Your DNA is totally different. Remember you have success within. You just need to find it and harness it.

It can be good or bad, but I bet there is one thing that happens daily that either annoys you then or later. And, if it doesn’t happen your day is off! What is that one thing?

Today I answered a listeners question. What is Mishegoss? This should answer her question and yours about, who, what, when,where,and how.

Is quality better than quantity content when building an audience? Is it better to be known as a quality content provider rather than a quantity provider? Thoughts? Listen in now!

While cooking today I thought of all the habits I have that go along with my cooking. Habits like organization of what I need to cook to writing on my food publication Imperfect Recipes on Medium. Com

Added some thoughts on habits and Journaling and also asked for your take on both. Listen in and comment.

Habits, especially bad ones are meant to be broken. Listen in as I talk about good and bad habits. I share some examples from a class I gave on habits.

Do you write to please others or yourself? Do you love writing? If you’re like me I love to write. If I make mistakes I don’t worry about it. It’s about getting my thoughts & feelings out. Just Write!

It’s a Monday and it’s my day to ask for help from you. I’m juggling ideas in my head about this podcast and my newsletter. Listen and give me some answers please!

Pet Sounds by Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys holds a special place in my life. It’s what helped me along with visualization to control my ADHD. It also helped with listening.

Speaking with your audience rather than to or at your audience makes the difference of them retaining the information presented. Whether it’s a sales pitch, or business pitch, or something else.

I thought I’d go a little deeper into learning to listen. Let me know your thoughts.

When did people lose their listening skills? Everything is rushed now so more people talk rather than listen. It’s time to bring back listening.

When it comes to timing it’s all about reaction vs thinking. What comes first for you? Are you a thinker first or do you react first! Would enjoy hearing your thinking or reactions to this podcast

Our newsletter is published twice a week. We try to cover the stories you may not have read or heard about, but should know about. We don’t spam. We are sponsor free and so is the newsletter. Try us

ADHD is a gift. Like any gift you need to accept it, embrace it, and use it for it to help. ADHD won’t make you a leader or rich. You do that through ADHD. Listen in.

Hello to Fresno State Entrepreneurs. Thanks for listening. I’m talking about mentoring and how I see how Patti and I are helpful as a team.

This is about how the podcast gets recorded and published on Anchor. It’s all about timing. I threw in a little about journaling.

I’m done on marketing in the past. Why keep repeating like many do now. Where I a new age with new experts and ideas. Just remember where it started.

I’m bringing you back to the days before tech. Before cell phones, computers, social media, and more. I want you to use it to build your foundation.

Don’t let failure force you to quit. Failure should not be the reason you quit. It should be the reason to move forward.

When it comes to living with ADHD, keeping notes and journaling helps to a complete tasks. I believe it helps people even without ADHD to do the same.

Wouldn’t you like to know more about that newsletter your thinking about signing up for? Knowing what you’re in for if you sign up? Would a web app that’s able to give you insight be worth it to you?

The loss of an iPhone affect people differently. Here’s my story of loss and anxiety. Things happen!

Journaling is a great way of keeping track of your life. It’s great for keeping you in check. It helps to balance Life both at home and work. It’s usually hard to start, but listen in for some tips.

Are you a minimalist? Is there a part of your life where you practice it? I did for many years then got away from it and now started rethinking it. What’s your take?

I’m spending more time on the Mentoring technique because I feel it’s important to have the correct mindset about mentoring. Plus I’m talking about the hustle and slowing down a little.

I have ADHD and I’m not broken. Never have been and never will be. This rant is to support a post on Facebook by my friend Peter Shankman, who like me believes ADHD is a gift. It truly is!

How do you turn a bad day around? Mindfulness is my trick. Have you tried it? Check out my friend Mike Sturm for his newsletter and post about mindfulness at http:// mikesturm.net.

Have you ever coached someone? Have you ever been coached? No matter what side you’re on Listening is the most important skill. Listen in.

What a day to be late. Here’s my personal 9/11 Story.

Hurricane Irma has struck. Stay safe if you’re hanging in there. Spaghetti sauce and cooking in general makes me think. So I reflected more on Mentoring.

I wanted to go a little further on problems. So I did!

How do you handle problems? Are you creative with your answer or analytical? Do you use both depending on the nature of the problem?

Why do I podcast and why did I call it It’s All Mishegoss? Plus what plans do I have for its future. Listen in now!

For the most part change is Good. I’m not saying it’s good all the time, but there’s even an argument for that. “When you come to a fork in the road, take it”. Yogi Berra

Aging and Entrepreneurship. Something to consider is the personal side of Entrepreneurship and how important that is.

I met Walter Becker when I was a financial consultant. While he never became a client he would call for advice here and there over a 3-4 year period. He was. Down to earth, real guy. Listen in.

As you grow older I want to you to consider your concerns. I’m sure you have a few? Also start looking at the personal side of business more than the business side of personal. It’ll change your view

Motivation is inside. You have the motivation you need. What you need to do is identify it, develop it, and use it. Simple right? Not always. Listen in for more.

It’s Monday just another day, right? You may not be thinking like that, but it is just another day. Don’t let a Monday get you down. You own it. Make it your Monday.

What’s your deal for Sunday? Do you review last week and prepare for the coming week? What happened to family Sunday’s? What about rest and relaxation? Let me know how you do Sunday?

The senior market is growing. Growing faster than other age brackets so why aren’t we catering to them? It’s time for a senior newsletter that rocks.

Ideas are not a dime a dozen. They’re worth their weight in gold and should be treated that way. Don’t throw a good idea away. Save it for the future or share it. Maybe something will come of it?

It’s the first day of school for my grandkids. This means that myself and the parents are also back to school as we are their homeschool instructors. They attend charter school so we fill in.

Wanting to get your thoughts and ideas of how to improve the newsletter at http://itsallmishegoss.com. Let me know!

Thoughts on podcasts to listen in on and newsletters to read. The eclipse and what’s coming on It’s All Mishegoss.

Speaking is easy. Listening is hard. ADHD makes it all the more difficult, but it can be done and done well. Just listen to your audience.

Listening is the sum of everything in life. You can be motivated, you can have a great attitude, and you can accept change, but without being able to listen none of that matters.

Have you ever made an ass of yourself? It happens and you just need to deal and move on. I did it yesterday. Today I corrected it and would enjoy if you listened in.

Why did you do that? That’s the thought for today. Apply that question to business, social, and personal aspects of your life. Ask it for a few days or even longer.

It’s about knowing your product, environment, market, industry, supplier,and investor that makes your pitch just that, your pitch.

To do or not to do. It isn’t a question anymore. Try a What’s Done list instead. Think attitude in bettering yourself. Forget multiple steps, just deal with one, attitude. The rest will come together

ADHD is a gift. I like being never without an idea. Although it can get confusing sometimes. In general I control it. Yesterday I didn’t and never completed my talk on why I Podcast. I did today

Mishegoss is more than insanity and madness. It’s about motivation, change, and more. Today And over the next few days I bring it together. Even throwing in some science behind pitching an investor.

Talking change with our work and life. Also talking about our work with Fresno State and student entrepreneurs.

It’s time to commit to Anchor. So this past week I made the switch. Motivation to podcast more helped to make this change. On another note I’m talking about business plans also.
