If I asked you if you wanted a "Stress-free" Life you'd probably choke on your drink because you couldn't say, "Hell yeaaaa," fast enough. But not so fast says Kelly McGonigal in her book, "The Upside of Stress...Why stress if good for you and how to get good at it." Think about your many experiences in life...purpose, meaning, learning, joy, happiness, love, etc...When you think back to those times, were any of those experiences laced with stressful moments?* Today's episode puts a new lens on ...

The other morning I’d given myself 1 hour..30 min to read, then 30 min to go knock out a run before work...but when my 30 minutes of reading was up, I didn’t want to get up and go run. I justified continuing to read by saying to myself that I only had 30 min before having to get ready for work, so I might as well keep on reading. I’d negotiated with myself thst I’d workout when I got home. (& I hate working out after work) It was all reasoned well, right? Reading is beneficial, but it was not th...

Although I’ve used the term “Fake it till you make it,” I never liked the “fake it” part bc that means you don’t fully believe in what you’re saying or portraying.

A common term in many cultures is “keeping it real,” which basically means to not forget where you came from.

I’m sensitive to when Life whispers to me & as I was going back through a book I read called “Fearvana” a question stood out to me that I didn’t even highlight...”What have your beliefs cost you?” Waking the next morning I found another blurb from another article about “beliefs,” so it made me ask the question, “What’s the difference between price & cost...& what does it mean as it relates to my beliefs?” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thank you for listening to the show.

If anyyyyyy gift would be on a salesperson’s Christmas list it’d be the gift 🎁 of confidence-especially when you’re losing or that stage in between winning & losing- where the customer isn’t saying no, but they ain’t saying yes either?

Consultants will tell you to just run in there and act like you own the place...be bold, brash, and take hold of the situation...& when you do, your customers will kneel down and beg you to buy. All you need to do is assume the sell and you can bag the deal....well that may be fine & good if the last 8 customers bought from you.

At 80 years young, Coach George Raveling says that every day he has a choice to make: contribute or be another statistic. Coach chooses to contribute by staying relevant. Today so many people you once watched, followed, or know personally fight so hard to be remembered by waiving their social flag...they're so worried about being forgotten that the only things they talk about are past accomplishments. They desperately want to be remembered when your only focus for today should be, "How can I con...

In Carol Dweck's book, "Mindset," tennis legend John McEnroe said that he used to throw temper tantrums during a match because his mind was so fixed...so rigid, that he didn't know how to regain his footing once he began to lose...so he did the only thing he knew to do...yell, scream, and smash rackets. By his own admission, he wished he would've instead played a team sport in order to mask his deficiencies and weaknesses. Sales, like Life is not a team sport. Sure, you do need others, but the p...
