January 30, 202050. Mamba Out
We along with the rest of the world were sucker-punched with the news of the death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and 7 others in a horrible plane crash on January 26, 2020. Our hearts are heavy thinking about the families who lost their loved ones so unexpectedly. Life can really throw you some unexpected curves. We thought we'd share some of our thoughts and even an indirect personal experience with Kobe.
The unexpected and unknowns of life

Pondering our own mortality and how we are serving our family and others

Moments can be upsetting but are they truly important

The power of an indirect association with someone can have a powerful impact on your life

We are not in the limelight but people can be watching the example we are setting

Crab Syndrome

Kevin Hart - Every time I succeed I see new opportunities

View competition and obstacles as stepping blocks to propel you to be better

Date Night Lessons learned Go-Kart racing chasing the pros

Our condolences and love to all of the families that lost loved ones in the crash

TBH - To Be Honest

Happy New Year. As you know we have been talking a lot about developing and capturing 2020 Vision for the new year. It’s more than resolutions and goals.

Set a goal and then deconstruct so that you can set milestones to check progress throughout the year

Own the moment and manage the minutes and day

Role of being positive in achieving our goals

You have the power to choose how you respond to challenging

Judie becoming very purposeful in blocking out her time so she can accomplish her goals

December 19, 201944 - 2020 Vision
We are truly ENJOYING the Christmas Season. Our kids are already talking about what time they will wake up on Christmas morning. We have also been working on a new online workshop title 2020 Vision that will help you kick off the New Year. We’re not just talking 2020 vision we’re driving toward 3D Vision for the new year.
Show Highlights:
Looking forward to 2020 - We’re working on something to help you focus on and achieve your goals

Let’s go beyond 2020 vision to 3D

We finished The Work - 6 weeks of serious HIIT workouts while doing M100

Once we started something the new thing really caught my attention

Often we start pursuing a goal and then get derailed

There is a time to adapt and adjust your original plan. Sometimes it is exactly what is needed.

You have to have a “Why”. There are different kinds of why’s but you need the one that will PUSH you.

How long doesn’t matter the key is finishing

Until life gets in the way - Life is guaranteed to happen so why wait?

Uncover, discover and build the inherent skills and gifts that you have

Certain things you must not cross the line

Frequently visit and assess where you are

An invitation to join our 2020 Vision workshop

December 12, 201943. We Discovered POWER in Focus Words
It’s been a year since Judie and I chose focus words to help us hone in on our personal development and goals in 2019. We discovered REAL POWER in focusing on one single word for the year. In this episode, we share what we’ve learned through this experience and how each of us have grown. And yes we will be choosing focus words for 2020.
Show Highlights:
Annual Christmas Date - spending a full day of shopping, going out to eat and to the temple. Judie even got Jody in a Ross Store

Revisiting the Focus Word we chose as a theme for 2019 (See episode 3 -

Jody’s focus word - Greatness, Judie’s 2019 focus word - discipline

What we discovered

Having a theme word really made a difference to have just one word to resonate in your mind throughout the year

Jody’s observations of the changes Judie underwent being so focused on discipline

Having a focus word forced us to really evaluate our time

Jody discovered that some actions don’t lead to greatness so recognizing that chose to pivot

Changes that we saw in each other through the process and our own self-discovery

Evaluating our circle of influence and see if that group is leading you to where you want to grow

The ripple effect of making changes within yourself

Discipline helped me push through the hard times

The importance of changing your language - changing the words we use
We invite you to choose one FOCUS WORD to be your theme for 2020. We’d love to hear the word you’ve chosen and would be honored to help you be accountable throughout the year.
