Mindless routines can leave you empty-handed
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but life usually doesn't come with warnings.

This realization came into view when I went to walk my sweet little puppy Gunny the other morning.

...As an aside, I have a lot of habit stacks in the morning that get me from point A to point B without ...

Are you wandering in the woods?
Ā
Ā
Sometimes we lose sight of the paths in our life.
We might be close to the path we're supposed to be on...or want to be on.
But as anyone who's ever gone hiking knows, being close to the right path still means we're not on it.
So what happens?
We find ourselves just kinda wandering in the woo...

Are you hitting your REAL target?
About that time I brought my shooting target to one of my workshops...
You see, I keep a shooting target from my first time at the range hanging in my garage.
(Thinking hey, it might be a deterrent if anyone ever decided to break in. You never know. š)
So anyway, for my Momentum Reset workshop ea...

Are you only communicating at 7%? Probably.
Quick note: The story I'm about to get into about the 7-38-55 secret has more of a logistical/transactional focus.
So before I get to it, I wanna prompt you to also think about this in context of trying to bring in more business.
Because this lesson definitely applies there too.
And on March 20th...

How to stop flying through storms
So, I recorded this video two weeks ago on a day that was absolutely beautiful outside for February, after a period of cold and snow.
And since then, it's been cold, cold, cold and snow, snow, snow all over again.
I'm kinda glad I didn't get this out to you right away, because now it makes the se...

Did this 'holiday' get to you already?
Happy new year -- coming in with aĀ late but important new year's greeting AND reminder.
Because the other day I saw that there's a little something called 'Quitter's Day' on January 10th.
Thatāget thisāmost people have given up on their resolutions, goals, and dreams by the. 10th. of. January.

Gratitude even when times are tough
Hey there, I read someĀ postsĀ on gratitude yesterday that really resonated with my spirit.
And now's obviously the season to share.
It's easy to be grateful when life is good. When you're harvesting the fruits of abundance.
(Even so, with the busy-ness of our lives, weĀ stillĀ don't take time to...

Maybe this is what you need to bloom
When we took a break, I decided to get outside and move my body by taking a little walk.
I saw water in the distance, and walked down to the edge of what happened to be the Mississippi.
As I got closer to the water, I noticed a lot of the foliage, grass and weeds were darkened and crunchy, almost...

You choose by not choosing
Wanna know something that makes my stomach turn?
When people say, "You're just so busy..." or "I know how busy you are..."
It always makes me think, "Oh, man, have I made you feel that way?" or "Did it take too long for you to get on my calendar?" or "Are you just following my antics on social me...

Finding meaning in every season
Hey, it's October! Let's talk seasons.
What I love about the word 'seasons' is, it makes it feel like there's an end to a time I'm walking through.
ALL seasons have an end.
In the Spring...
We enjoy the warming temps, rapid growth, and budding leaves and flowers. (But maybe you don't look forward...

The TWO types of rest (one you're probably missing)
Not sure if you're a driver (I am), but hopefully this'll still resonate with you regardless.
Drivers tend to drive toward making stuff happen. Hard.
But one the things us drivers don't drive super fierce toward?
REST.
And as a driver, let it be said: This isn't be a topic I've loved in the past....

Being afraid to rock the boat
Have you ever heard the saying...?
"Correction is direction, notĀ rejection."
It's a powerful little statement I frequently remind people of when we're running together.
A lot of time because I'm sharing feedback with people, right? I might say, "Permission to coach?" Or "Permission to be direct...
