Dream Achievers Podcast: Goal Setting | High Performance | Success in Life and Business | Dream Lifestyle

Summary

Happy July! We are now in the second half of the year. Have you checked your progress toward the goals that you set for yourself at the beginning of the year? If yes, congratulations! You are on your way to great levels of success. If not, it's time to do it. Spend a few minutes and review the goals you set for yourself and check how much progress you have had. And if you did not set any goals, you still have time. Come up with a couple of goals and start working toward accomplishing them.

One of my goals in 2018 was to interview one dream achiever/successful person every month and then share their insights with you through the Dream Achievers Podcast. So far, I have interviewed six people, which means I have achieved my goal for the first six months of the year!

Speaking of having successful people on the podcast, today I have the privilege of having a successful coach, Mark Johnson.

Summary

As adults, we usually forget the dreams that we once had in our teenage years. We tend to cover them up and move on with life like most people. When we become adults, get married, and have kids, we tend to dream for them our unfulfilled dreams. We ask them to follow what we say or what suggest because we think that we are very wise and they have to listen to us.This may lead to some conflict down the road. And it may eventually create some distance between us and our kids when they become teenagers. That is why it is crucial for us to understand our teens and their dreams and aspirations better.

For this reason, I invited an expert to the Dream Achievers Podcast so we can talk about the teens, their dreams, and how to support them in living their dreams. My special guest in this episode of the Dream Achievers Podcast is Mary Lynne Fernandez, who recently released her new book "The Warrior Teenager: Let Go of Self-Sabotage & Embrace Your True Power". I've known Mary Lynne for several years. I know that she is an authentic and caring person. She is helping teenagers to end their self-sabotage, realize their values, and live their teen dreams.

Apart from being an author, Mary Lynne is a successful keynote speaker, transformational life coach, and an insightful business consultant. She brings forth over 14 years of enthusiastic expertise in the field of coaching young adults while profoundly empowering their parents. She has passionately served tweens, teens, and their parents as a middle school teacher and as a life coach. To every client, audience, project, and challenge, Mary Lynne brings forth fairness, humility, and gratitude. Her kind and honest style of speaking and coaching have earned her immense respect and love in her community.

Mary Lynne struggled during her teenage years like so many teens do today. She overcame the struggle and teaches others to do the same so they can become a Warrior Teenager. Today she is respected as a powerhouse “Teen-Esteem Expert.” When it comes to connecting with teenagers, Mary Lynne is a real natural.

Listen to this episode to learn how we can help teens let go of self-sabotage so they embrace their true power, overcome their challenges, and live their dreams.

Summary

What do you want the most? If you had all the money, time, and resources, what would you do?

These are the type of questions that you have most probably heard and thought about. Depending on your situation in life, your answers would be different. For instance, if you don't have a car or your car is old, you might desire a car. If you are tired of renting an apartment, you might dream of having your own house. If you have a house but it is not that big, you might desire a bigger house. If you have an iPhone 7, you might dream of having an iPhone X. If you are overweight, you might want to lose weight. If you don't like your shape, you might dream of going under surgery to change your shape! If you are an adventurous, you might desire to travel around the world and have fun.

In general, our dreams are linked to our past, present, and future desires. Most of our desires, however, are superficial. Consequently, our dreams do not usually go beyond physical wants and needs. These physical wants and needs are mainly in response to the external noises around us. And since we are living in a world in which we are constantly bombarded with external noises such as advertisements, negative news, and people's opinions about us, we don't get a chance to think more deeply about our true needs and desires.

The reality is that when we work hard and fulfill our current physical dreams, we do not become satisfied. We long for more. And since we don't slow down to think why we want what we want, we work even harder to achieve more of our physical dreams and desires. This cycle of wanting more without slowing down may go on until we get old. Eventually, despite all the physical achievements, we may realize that we are not happy internally. We feel empty inside. We lack peace of mind! Unfortunately, most of us leave this world unfulfilled!

The question is, how can you avoid this? How can you make sure that you won't end dying unfulfilled?

The answer is that you should go beyond physical achievements. Your current dreams and desires should lead you to deeper understanding of yourself, your spiritual growth, and living a fulfilled and happy life.

Listen to this episode of the Dream Achievers Podcast to learn about a 4-step process for going beyond your physical dreams and desires.

Summary

In order to achieve our goals and fulfill our dreams, we often require to get out of our comfort zones and push our limits. In this episode of the Dream Achievers Podcast, Dr. Shawna Pandya shares her story and how she has pushed her limits to achieve a lot in her life at a young age.

Dr. Pandya is a physician-surgeon, speaker, martial artist, citizen-scientist astronaut candidate with Projects PoSSUM & PHEnOM, and prime crew aquanaut with Project Poseidon.

In 2015, Dr. Pandya successfully completed Scientist-Astronaut Candidate training with Project PoSSUM (Polar Suborbital Science in the Upper Mesosphere) and was part of the first crew to test a commercial spacesuit in zero-gravity; her work with Project PoSSUM and Final Frontier Design was captured in the CBC Documentary, “We Are Canada.” As part of this involvement, she also completed slow onset hypobaric hypoxia training, centrifuge studies, aerobatic flight, and emergency spacecraft egress and sea survival training. In 2016, Dr. Pandya was named to the prime crew for Project Poseidon, which aims to further ocean and space exploration, while simultaneously setting a world record for “most days spent under the sea” at 100 days. Also in 2016, Dr. Pandya was named to the Project PHEnOM (Physiology, Health and Environmental Observations in Microgravity) Citizen-Scientist Astronaut Corps. As part of Projects Poseidon and PHEnOM, Dr. Pandya’s research will focus on resilience and human performance in extreme environments. Most recently, Dr. Pandya was appointed course instructor for Project PoSSUM’s EVA 101: Space and Wilderness Medicine, which ran its first iteration in Colorado in September 2017.

Kim Campbell’s Peter Lougheed Leadership College Leadership Lecture Series in January 2017.

These are just some of Dr. Pandya's accomplishments. With her hard work and attitude toward pushing her limits, nothing can stop her from accomplishing much more. Some day, we will hopefully see Dr. Pandya in Space and on the Mars!

I highly encourage you to listen to this episode so you get motivated by Shawna's story and achievements. Success is inevitable as long as you do your best and take consiste...

Summary

We often know what is best for us, where we should go, and what actions we should take, but we don’t move forward because we are either afraid or doubtful. Our fears and doubts can lead to giving up and loss of confidence in trying again.

If you want to achieve your dreams, you need to face your fears and doubts, overcome them, and transform them.

In this episode of the Dream Achievers Podcast, we will discuss the types of fear ad doubt that we may face. We will also talk about the signs of fear and doubt. We will then discuss how to transform them for success. You will learn about the switch for transforming your fears and doubts. This switch is similar to the light switch that when turned on makes darkness disappear.

Listen to this episode to find out what this switch is and how you can use it for transforming your fears and doubts.

Many goals and dreams are left unfulfilled because we are not willing to enact the necessary changes. After some trials, we hit a wall and do not see a way out. Our excitement soon turns into disappointment, and our hope into fear and doubt. This will eventually lead to losing confidence and self-belief. "I can't" and "it's hard" become our mantras, and before we know it we have slashed our goal or ditched it altogether. We then jump to another branch, set another goal, and repeat the cycle.

The #1 challenge of many people, that stops them from moving forward toward accomplishing their goals and fulfilling their dreams, is their lack of confidence. When you are challenged by a low confidence level, you tend to live in the victim mode and see yourself as much less than who you are or who you can be. You stay inside your comfort zone because you think that if you cross the boundary and go beyond your comfort level you will fail.

If you are challenged by low confidence and want to reclaim your confidence or overcome your fears, this episode of the Dream Achievers Podcast is for you! In this episode, I talk to Keith Blakemore-Noble who helps people gain confidence and conquer their phobias.

Keith Blakemore-Noble is an international speaker, best-selling author, a radio host, hypnotist, phobia expert, Confidence Alchemist, and an occasional magician. He has taught, performed, and spoken on stages around the globe in UK, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Nepal, Tibet, and USA. Keith is a also master practitioner in NLP and hypnosis, and he's been using hypnosis since 2010 - both to help people conquer phobias and reclaim their confidence, and for fun and entertainment.

In this episode, Keith and I will talk about the following:

- How Keith became an expert in confidence and phobia

- Why confidence matters and the benefits of being confident

- How we lose our confidence and and how to gain our confidence back

- The meaning behind Confidence Alchemist

- The 4 words that have caused many of us lose our confidence in socializing with others and how to fix it

- Power of hypnosis and NLP in reprogramming your mind to reclaim your confidence

- How to gain confidence using Keith's 6-step process

- What does it mean to Be Your Change?

Summary

What is your response to change? Do you resist it or embrace it? Are you positive about it or negative?

Our world is going through enormous change and with that, all areas of our lives are impacted by the change, whether we want it or not. Every one of us responds to change differently. Some of us are positive about the change and some of us are not. Even our responses are different in various areas of our life. We may like the change in one area of our life but not in another area.

When it comes to goal setting and dream achieving, we should be willing to go through change. In fact, we should be willing to invite change and challenge into our life. The problem is that not all of us can maintain our resiliance when we go through change irrespective of whether we have invited that change to our life or not.

In this episode of the Dream Achievers Podcast, we will talk about the change, our responses to change, its positive impact on your life, and why we should embrace the change.

Here is the bottom-line: CHANGE is definitely an integrating part of life and it should be! Embrace the change so you can grow and move to the next level.

What You Will Learn:

- How you see CHANGE when you have a negative perspective about it

- How you see CHANGE when you have a positive perspective about it

- Why CHANGE is challenging

- How to intentionally aim for change and its advantage

- What to do when you are going through change

- The power of embracing the change

If you have been listening to the Dream Achievers podcast on a regular basis, you know that I dedicate one episode during each month to a special guest, who is either a dream achiever, an expert, or both. This month I have the fortune of interviewing The Attract Money Guru, James Goi Jr.

James is the bestselling author of How to Attract Money Using Mind Power--a book that set a new standard for concise, no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point self-help books. He condenses and simplifies abstract metaphysical concepts and powerful success principles, making this life-changing information accessible to everyone. So far, James has written nine books and I believe he's working on more. Another interesting fact about James is that he has appeared in the groundbreaking docudrama, Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy.

So, let's welcome James to the show and talk to him about the abundance mindset, what stops us from attracting all the money we want, and how to remove the barriers on our way to abundance.
