Summary:

Most people don't recognize the power that's hidden in the last few days of the year. While they do their best to enjoy the holidays, they don't celebrate their personal and professional success. Besides, they don't intentionally plan for a better year next year. They just let these important days slip away with the hope that they will set some new year resolutions at the beginning of the new year as usual without thinking that they may not fulfill their resolutions as usual.

Successful people, however, use the last few days of the year very wisely to review the past 360+ days, determine their desired state for next year, and come up with strategies to make it their best year ever. Listen to this episode of the Dream Achievers Podcast in which I share with you a three-step process that helps you take advantage of the power of year end and plan ahead for your best year ever! This is the process my wife and I used a couple of days ago to strategize doubling our business next year.

The following video summarizes the three-step process that I share with you in this episode:

 

Action Steps

Complete this 3-step process by specifying your current state, setting your direction, and identifying the skills, tools, and knowledge that you need to go from your current state to your desired state by the end of next year.

Summary:

Few years back, I interviewed Bob Burg, co-author of The Go-Giver and Go-Givers Sell More on the concept of go-giver vs. go-getter. The general approach toward achieving any goal is to be a go-getter and do all it takes to accomplish the goal. However, if you start by giving what you have and adding more value, you build trust and therefore can get what you want more easily. Listen to this episode so you discover how you can give more to get more not only at work but also in your personal life.

In this episode, Bob answers the following questions:

- What is The Go-Giver about?

- What is the difference between go-givers and go-getters?

- Why is it important to become a go-giver?

- What are the 5 laws of go-givers?

- Why would becoming a go-giver lead to better results?

- And much more

Summary:

Do you know how to finish this year strong?

We are approaching the end of the year and you have two options before finishing the year:

1. Do nothing and let the year finish without accomplishing much,

2. Do something and commit to finishing the year strong.

Unfortunately, many people choose the first option. They choose to do nothing and wait for the year to end. Even if they know what they have to do, they procrastinate and do nothing. In this episode, I help you choose the second option and provide you a simple process on how to finish this year strong!

The process starts with reflecting back over the past 10 to 11 months and realizing how far you have come, what you have achieved, and what you have missed. Even if you have not done much about the goals that you set for yourself at the beginning of the year, it is ok. There is no need to regret or become upset about what you wanted to do but have not done. The purpose of reflection is to review the past without being attached to it so you know your current status.

The second step of the process is to define a goal in a specific area of your life so you commit to achieving it in the next 30 days (before the year ends). This goal can be related your career, business, relationship, family, health, finance, contribution, or fun. The critical part of this step is to be specific and define your goal as detailed as possible.

Once you define your goal, the next obvious step is to plan for taking necessary action steps and take action right away. However, taking action on its own may not be enough. You need to believe in yourself and that you can achieve this goals, you need to be clear on the outcome you want to see, and you need to have the required discipline for achieving your set goal.

I assure you that if you follow this simple process, you can accomplish the goal you set for yourself and finish the year strong!

You homework is to follow the above steps and come up with your plan for taking necessary action steps to come up with a goal for finishing this year strong and a plan with action steps for achieving this goal.

Summary:

Do you want to have powerful life changing transformation in your life but it doesn’t seem to work for you?

As you know we are approaching the end of the year. We just passed Halloween and year end celebrations such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year are on the way. Have you accomplished the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the year?

If not, you’re not alone. Believe it or not, over 90% of people do not actually get what they want to have in their lives. Their success is random. Why is that?

That’s because there is a powerful manifesting science that must be understood. This lack of understanding with the principles of manifesting and dream achieving causes most people to get quite frustrated. They start off by trying to create a vision board, set goals, and do affirmations but somehow they know that something is missing and soon enough they fail to create the results they want.

It can be frustrating to see a big gap between the life you've always dreamed of and the life you're actually living.

But this episode can change everything. It can help you not only finish this year strong but also make the next year your best year ever. In this episode, I share with you my proven system that can help you get absolute clarity and build unshakable confidence so you fill the gap, accelerate your achievements, and live abundantly.

This system is called the extraordinary achievement system that has 8 stages. I explain these stages so you know the overall process. Toward the end of the episode, I let you know how you can equip yourself with the right knowledge and tools for going from one stage to another so you can achieve extraordinary results and live a life of significance.

Summary

In this episode, I share with you the 8 R's of meditation from a great book by Anthony Strano, a spiritual teacher who left his body a couple of years ago. By integrating meditation in your daily life you can connect with your inner self, get guidance, remove doubt and worry, and manifest your true desires and dreams. We will end this episode with a piece of commentary meditation from Anthony's teaching that covers the 8 R's.

From the book, Slaying the Three Dragons, by Anthony Strano

"Meditation is the discovery of that point of silence within, like a compass needle that guides us in the right direction at the right time. To become silent, to be still in the ocean of hectic, noisy action, is a choice many people are now making. When this is achieved, this stillness acts on the mind like oxygen, giving the breath to both understand and enrich life. Of course, action is a necessity, an expression of ourselves through time, relationships and the roles we play. However, if we do not sometimes stop and take a breath of silence, then the mind begins to suffocate, thoughts speed like bullet trains and the brain feels as if it is in a pressure cooker. Emotions erupt and react like volcanoes, the eyes become dizzy with mountains of information and the head feels like a rollercoaster. This is stress. The mind needs to come up for air, to leave the jungle of pressures, deadlines and speed and slow down and find the point of silence within.

Meditation is the method to find the point that recharges the mind with peace, clarity and balance.

We can define meditation as the eight "R's."

It is helpful if these eight R's are read slowly, giving time to ponder and gently experience that still point of peace within the self.

For each of the R's there is a brief explanation and then a short exercise, which can be repeated if one wishes to.

1. Returning

Meditation is the technique of returning to the original qualities of the self, namely peace, purity, love, bliss and wisdom. We can only do that by taking our thoughts inward.

2. Relaxing

In meditation, the mind disconnects itself from the thoughts of anything external and connects with the inner self. In this way, it is able to receive the positive current of the original strength of the self: a peaceful source of energy. However, at first it can be difficult to disconnect the many plugs of our everyday life: the plugs of attachment, speed, worry, being busy, etc. It does take some effort.

3. Remembering

As the mind relaxes and gently concentrates on the "point source" of peace energy, the individual begins to remember their spiritual identity. The reason why people are so disorientated in their lives and why they often find life boring, tedious, or empty is because they have forgotten who they truly are.

4. Releasing

As we remember the forgotten reality of the self as a spiritual being and begin to experience our inner source of peace, we are released from the negativity of our mind: wasteful thinking and thoughts filled with doubt, fear and worry -- the three great dragons that dominate our mind constantly.

5. Relearning

As we become free, we begin to respect ourselves and relearn what it means to value our selves, our lives and our existences in this great play of life. Forgotten truths appear and a new education of the self begins.

6. Rediscovering

As we relearn, we rediscover our spiritual values and resources and, realizing they were always there, we resolve to use these silent intrinsic truths, which are the foundation of a better quality of life.

7. Restoring

As we begin to use these spiritual truths, our original strengths and qualities are restored. There is a transition in consciousness enabling confidence...

Summary

In this episode of the Dream Achievers Podcast, I will talk about the reason why everyone faces challenges and why we suffer. I will talk about strength as a key factor for overcoming challenges and how you can develop yourself to become spiritually strong which is the ultimate level of strength.

Hellen Keller said: "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved."

So my answer to the question "Why are most people suffering?" is that because they are not strong enough!

What does come to your mind when I say strong?

Physical strength, emotional strength, mental strength, or spiritual strength?

If we want to overcome the challenges and transform suffering to blessing, we need to shift our focus from physical strength to spiritual strength.

Being spiritually strong is key to ultimate success. Spiritual strength helps us overcome all challenges.

As Thomas Paine said: "The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection."

When you develop spiritual strength, you go beyond emotional and mental strengths. You connect with the higher power, God. You believe that everything is there for a reason.

Here is my ultimate recipe: Become detached, let go of your expectations especially in tough times. Know yourself as a soul and connect with God. When faced with challenges, do your best and leave the rest to God. This is called to be in God’s grace. To have full faith. To KNOW that everything will be all right.
