There are two types of time: clock time and relative time. Clock time is 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour. It doesn’t change. Relative time changes based on the amount of enjoyment we get. That’s why we say “time flies.” On this episode, author and podcaster Erik Fisher shares strategies to help you make the most of your time. It starts with finding the things that energize us so much that it’s easy to manage our time and be productive.

Today Erik is showing us how to sharpen our focus so we can hit the target every time.

We all have a story. Every person, experience and thought in our lives has been a part of that story. But what if your story is limiting you? What if your past is keeping you from your future? On today’s episode, Dave Kirby has some thoughts for you on beginning a new story…one that is full of all the good you have wished for.

You’ve tried setting goals. You’ve been through all the goal setting workshops. You’ve bought all the materials. You’ve downloaded the app. Yet you still have trouble setting and keeping your goals. Why is that? And what’s the difference between setting goals and having positive expectations? Author Dana Wilde reveals how your brain is working perfectly on your behalf when you are setting these positive expectations because we are taking it beyond hope; we are taking it to belief and expectation.

What story are you telling yourself on a daily basis? We all have a story. We have that internal dialog that is going on. We have assumptions of who we are, and where we are headed in life. Is your story something that is reinforcing or limiting you? Dana Wilde talks about the “cycle of perpetual sameness” and how most people only experience incremental growth in their lives, or in their business, because they continue to go on this cycle of perpetual sameness.

We all talk to ourselves. Now you might not walk down the aisle of the grocery store mumbling under your breath, but we all have an internal dialog going on all the time and it is either limiting us or empowering us. On this episode author Dana Wilde helps us develop an empowering internal dialog that will propel us toward our goals.
