We sometimes forget the importance of having something lofty to shoot for because, in life,  we get the greatest pleasure from living up to our own expectations. Sometimes, however, limiting beliefs stop you from even getting started. Patrick and Rocco (or Rocco and I) will guide you through the process of "suspending disbelief" or selling yourself on your own ability to achieve.  If you can believe in the possibility, you are willing to pay the price. It's not about the goal it's about how much you can grow in the process. You may not get what you set out to get but you get some extraordinary things in the process. You'll be amazed by the power of progress!

Does fear cause you to lack vision? Join Rocco and Patrick as they discuss the role that vision and purpose play in your life. Vision and purpose are bigger and more flexible than your goals but how do you apply them to your everyday? Make sure that you are not forgetting these vital elements of happiness! 

Do you treat a month like a second, throw away bits of time that don't contribute to your success? In this episode Patrick and Rocco ask you to reconsider how you treat the milestones in your year, like months, and give some thought to slowing down and reconnecting with that emotional feeling you had on January 1st. Monthly reviews can maintain your sense of urgency and reignite your energy around achieving your goals. Follow the steps in the Bridge the Gap System to get the most of every month!

Skill sets are replaceable, philosophies dictate success. Today Patrick and Rocco are looking at life's winning formulas and asking the questions...What's working for you? What can you look to change? How are you serving your clients and customers?  Sometimes you need to identify the agendas of those around you to really make the best choices for yourself.

We are conditioned to believe that we are seeking instant solutions to all our problems and instant achievement of all our goals. But life is not a Rocky training montage. Success requires dedication, discipline and time. In this podcast learn from Rocco and Patrick how you can buy into the process and enjoy the journey just as much as the destination. Fall in love with the process and the results become just a bonus.

This a solo episode with Rocco Sileo.  Listen in as Rocco explores an age old riddle - How do two people with the same challenges and circumstances get entirely different results?  The question has perplexed people for years and resurfaces in the preface of one of Rocco’s latest book recommendations: “The Book of Mistakes - 9 Secrets to Creating a Successful Future” - By Skip Prichard.

Rocco also dives a bit deeper into the book by covering his thoughts on a chapter summary section about the value of BEGINNING something.  Here is a statement we should all ponder quoted in the audio read directly from the book: “The beginning is when you have more questions than answers.”

How important is preparation in life?  We think the worst time to decide what action steps to take is in the moment you have to take action!

In this episode, Rocco and Patrick, discuss the steps it takes to set up a goal.  Setting a goal is more than just writing it out and putting together a drill down list.  There are multiple steps to mapping out a goal that include:

1. Decide what you want to achieve
2. Identify a few routines and habits that can help you achieve the goal
3. Make a short list of people to associate with that can have the right influence on you
4. Choose who you will track progress
5. Be aware of evidence that shows the progress
6. Review your internal seeds
7. Review your external soil
8. Make a drill down list of 5 to (maybe 20) steps you can immediately take

Do you have a goal in mind that you may want to test this planning and action process out on?  If so, you may want to take some notes while listening in here!

What do you think about affirmations? We’ve spoken with so many people over the years who completely misunderstand what it means to use affirmations.  However, when used correctly, affirmations can be a powerful tool for helping you achieve your goals.

REMEMBER THIS:  The most powerful story you will EVER hear in life is the story you tell yourself about yourself.  We all have a story will tell ourselves. We do it either on a conscious level or a subconscious level.  

Have you ever set aside some time in the classroom of silence and observed what story you are telling yourself?  

In this episode, Patrick and Rocco breakdown the power of affirmations along with a simple process for writing your own personal affirmation statement.  We promise, it is not as hard as you might think!
