S2 EP14- Part 2- What must you do to help people get on board with your vision.

You cannot live out a vision until you understand that you CAN have a vision.
Vision MUST be communicated consistently, Clearly and Attractively. When you do this vision will become contagious and you will begin to move towards that vision. Check out my new book The LeadThrough Method available on Amazon.

S2 EP10- One Thing You Can Do To Improve Your Life.

One political party blames the other and vise versa, but blame has never gotten us anywhere. Progress only happens when one person decides to take personal accountability. The same is true of your life.
In this episode, I barely touch on the subject that literally has the potential to improve your life if not change it. It can give you healthier relationships, better outcomes and a happier life... the key? Having personal accountability for every decision that we make.
It's so easy to find someone else to blame... but at the end of the day "your dog did not eat your home work". You just didn't do it.
In this short episode you will learn:

How personal accountability builds trust with those around you.
3 things that happen where there is no accountability :

1)No trust 2)Morale goes down 3)Productivity and Impact suffers

S2 Ep8- The 8 Attributes Of A Father

S2 Ep8- The 8 Attributes Of A Father

In this episode I want to give you the 8 attributes we should strive for as fathers and as leaders. This episode is for fathers or want to be fathers, but it is also for you even if you aren't a father because these attributes can be applied in our culture now more than ever. As a matter of fact Whatever type of man you want to be tomorrow you have to build that man today. 

When I was in one of my Law enforcement academies I had an PT instructor and he would often tell our class, "you hydrate for tomorrow -today". He pushed that on us because we were in the desert of New Mexico and getting dehydrated there would be bad.That principle applies to every aspect of your life as well. The way you prepare for marriage is while you are single…. The way you prepare for retirement is while you're working, the best time to find a new job is when you have one. 

The great news is that even if you are in the middle of fathering today, you can apply these attributes and actions to your life.

  1. Takes Responsibility
  2. Owns their decisions
  3. Provides for their family
  4. Protects their family
  5. Guides and leads their family
  6. Shares a vision for their family and Inspires while modeling with their own life
  7. Values giver
  8. Leads their life

S2 EP 1- The 4-R's to Growth

S2 EP 1- The 4-R's to Growth

Just because you are getting older does not mean you are growing. Growth doesn't just happen, it must be done intentionally and purposefully. It's possible to get the same results that you had last year, but if you want to grow and increase your influence, income, have better relationships as a matter of fact- everything in your life, you have to choose to grow. After a season break, I jotted down some thoughts and came up with the 4 R's you and I must apply consistently if we are to grow in our personal and professional life. "The only guarantee that tomorrow will be better, is if you choose to grow today. So, how are you growing? What method do you use to track your growth? 


2022 is just around the corner. In these challenging times, growth has been an even greater challenge for leaders. Some leaders continued to flourish despite setbacks and obstacles. Others continue to struggle in leading themselves and their teams towards their goals. The real score? Often, we are not aware that we are falling into the same patterns of behavior which keep our growth stunted.

It is this reality that compelled me to record this premiere episode of my podcast's 2nd season. So grab a seat and listen as I unpack the 4 elements that you can do to keep on growing as a person and as a leader (and no - it doesn't involve hustling!)

In this episode, you will discover:

  • how to keep your creativity from getting stunted
  • the importance of aligning what you do and what you get
  • how to achieve goals AND enjoy life at the same time
  • the power of dreaming after a setback

Also, I have a gift for you as you have tuned in to my podcast's 2nd season.

EP31 S1- Stop Saying Yes!

If you want to finish a project, a task or accomplish your goals, you need to learn to say no. As leaders we can't afford to say yes to every opportunity that comes our way. We must learn the art discerning what opportunities to commit to and which ones to turn down. They are benefits of saying no and dangers of saying yes. Listen in.

EP4 S1- Let your 'Why' fuel you forward!

Knowing why you want something, and why you do something is so critical in you staying the course to obtain it, or become it. Keeping your reason in front of you will help you stay focus. It will give you fuel to press on when you feel like slowing down. It will help you keep working while others are slacking. It will help you continue to dream while others are settling. Your reason for doing something is the thing that drives your passion if not the thing that gives it to you.

EP3 S1- What Do You Want? Really.

EP3 S1- What Do You Want? Really.

Anyone who has ever accomplished something worthwhile, has always been intentional about the direction they wanted to go and the actions they needed to take in order to get there.
We must understand that we don't drift to success in life. We don't drift to a successful marriage, we don't drift out of debt, we don't drift building a successful business. We can drift away from these things and wake up and wonder what happened, but it takes intentionality, focus and effort to succeed at these things.
So, what do you really want in life?
