Most people don't accomplish their dreams because they believe they don't have the time, but I disagree.  I think that people don't accomplish their dreams because they don't prioritize their time and often allow other things to draw their attention away.

But today, we break through all those barriers and learn a simple exercise that will show us exactly where all our time goes and how we can better utilize the 24 hours we get each day!

Lots of people have a morning and evening routine during the week.  But do they maintain that routine over the weekend? 

To get the most out of each and every day, we need to keep our routines up even over the weekends!  

Three simple words that have profound meaning in light of the choices and sacrifices you have to make for those words to be true.

In today's episode, we learn the three words and their meaning to a fulfilled, happy life.

Your imagination is an amazing tool that you have in your arsenal of awesomeness.  But your imagination can "run wild" for both positive and negative.

Today we are going to break down how to have challenging conversations, make difficult decisions, and accomplish hard tasks without letting our imaginations running wild on us!

In our relationships, both personal and professional, our actions must always reinforce our words.  When you "walk the talk" over time,  you build up trust.  And when you gain someone's trust, you must guard it so that you won't lose it.

Trust is a lot of work to gain, but can easily be lost when our actions do not reflect our words.

Too many times, people start out with good intentions, but fail because they are more focused on what you get when they achieve their goals rather than who they become.  The goal shouldn't be fame and fortune, it should be  to become a better person.  You can have wealth and fame, but it shouldn't come at the cost of who you are as a person.

True success comes when what you have is less important that what you become.

Every day brings us new opportunities and choices.  And with those choices come new decisions we must make.  Success comes from the "compounding interest" of those good choices.  And while everything that happens to you is not your fault, you must decide how you will react to what happened.  That's where success lies.

With all the chaos and emotion of these troubled times, the real solution to the problem is much closer than you think.  But the answer may also be the hardest to accept.  To truly change the world, it starts with the answer to one specific question....  How will you answer it?

Today's we are talking about heroes and the roles they play in our lives. We all have one or two.. Who is yours?

In today's hectic lifestyles, it's easy to forget you have to tell those around you how special they are. It's a challenge we all face from time to time. So grab a cup of coffee and let's figure out our next steps to make sure those that we care about know it!

Success is rarely overnight or instantaneous.  It usually comes after years of incrimental changes and hundreds of Baby Steps.  Whatever you want to accomplish CAN will happen, one step at a time!

If there was a super-power I wish we all had, it would be authenticity.  From Politics, to business, to our relationships authenticity is needed now, more than ever!

But we can become more authentic people.  Authenticity is like a muscle: it can be worked, a skill that can be honed.  We can all be more authentic.  It's not something you can fake, but you can develop it.  And in today's Morning Motivator, we learn how!

To be successful in life and business, you must develop a success mindset.  

In today's Monday Morning Mindset, we will show you how to do just that! 

There always comes a point in an entrepreneur’s life when they have to get to a place beyond their comfort zone. it can be very scary, it could be daunting, and it could be overwhelming. 

But to truly attain any amount of success, to make an impact in the world around them,  every great leader must step beyond the areas where they feel most comfortable. 

That's why today I want to talk about stepping outside of your zone and why it's so important to get really uncomfortable!  

When I was a kid, I loved reading Sci-Fi books and one of them, "Dune", by Frank Herbert had a character who had a mantra I have never forgotten.

"I will not feel, fear is the mind killer...I will let the fear pass through me and when the fear has passed...only I will remain."

Not facing your fears will lead you to a life of regrets.  To live your best life, you must face you fears and conquer them.

The truth is: the more you do, the more you fail. The more you fail, the more you learn. The more you learn, the better you get.  In life, the question is not if you will have problems, but how you are going to deal with your problems.

When achievers fail, they see it as a momentary event, not a lifelong epidemic. We need to recognize that we will spend much of your lives making mistakes. If you can take action and keep making mistakes, you gain experience.  And that's the secret to succeeding from failure!

Whenever you talk to people about their dreams, their goal in life is usually to succeed, whether that means to attain a better job, earn more money, buy a bigger house, purchase a nicer car and realize all the trappings that come with success.

Interestingly enough, I’ve noticed a pattern. While people say they want to succeed, when it comes to actually taking the job offer, an overwhelming sense of fear and paralysis takes over, which usually ends up with the person missing out on the opportunity altogether.

The fear of success is real and we have to overcome it! 

If you are trying to succeed in life or business, you will come face to face with fear. Fear of success, fear of failure, fear of any multitude of things.

If you struggle to overcome those fear, there is hope - you can still succeed and do amazing things - you just need to get comfortable with the fear and move forward!

Question -  Do you have real accountability in your life? I'm not talking about friends or co-workers encouraging you - I'm talking real accountability?

If you don't have someone who will tell you the honest truth, you are missing out on opportunity.

This is where a good coach comes in - someone who will be there for you, but also tell you the truth, all the while cheering you on!
