Episode 005: Three Words That Will Change Your Business

My son was locked in the car and I didn’t know what to do…

It’s Thursday! And that means a new episode of The Speakers, Authors and Coaches Podcast.

3 weeks ago I had an experience that changed my perspective on what the word commitment truly meant.

I was getting ready for a speaking engagement and I got a text from my wife saying that our 18 month old son was locked in the car and it was 95 degrees out!

I didn’t know what to do since I was 1,000 miles away from home.

I stepped out of the room, knowing that I was on stage in 30 minutes and called my wife.

In that conversation I had a realization and experience that taught me what commitment truly meant.

our son was locked in the car, it was getting hotter inside and I knew it would take too long for AAA to get there. So I called my brother and asked him to head over and see if he could get the car door open.

I also told him that if he couldn’t get it open that he should break the window to get him out.

Why did I tell him to do that?

Because I was willing to do whatever it took to keep my son safe!

In that experience I learned that that if we have the same attitude towards every commitment we make we would have a lot more success in our businesses and in our lives.

In this week’s episode of the Speakers, Authors and Coaches Podcast I share the rest of the story and what I learned from the experience.

Thank you for listening.

Preston Pugmire on how he got his podcast (Next Level Life) to #1 on iTunes on day 1! 

Preston is the host of The Next Level Life Podcast, a professional speaker and master mindset coach. 

In this episode we discuss how he got his podcast to #1 on iTunes on day 1 but more importantly we talk about the mindset that got him there. Preston lives by a "mindset first" philosophy that we can all learn from. We also discuss the ups and downs of business, a time where Preston considered quitting and how he built his speaking and coaching business. 

On a personal note, Preston is my best friend and has done more for me in my business than any other coach or trainer. He is a master at analyzing a complex situation and stripping it down to the root of the problem so it can be solved. 

Here is a link to The Next Level Life Podcast
