EDGY Conversations

The Big Takeaway: In this transition from commitment to relationships, we take a look at the karmic method of relationships.

What you put in is what you get out.

That goes for personal and professional relationships.

Today I go over a few tips to strengthen both of those relationships- Personal and Professional. And the importance of understanding everybody's role in each relationship.

Do you have unrealistic ideologies about people's roles in your organization and your household? Have you taken the time to get to really get to know those important people in your life and your business?

Come over to The EDGY Facebook group and let me know how you foster the relationships closest to you >> edgy.es/fbgroup

The Big Takeaway: Today I talk about how we push the limits until our bones break, but our body protects us so that doesn't happen.

Everything goes back to commitment and when enough is enough.

How much pain can we consume before our limitations kick in?

How do you break past your limits?

Today I look at the methods in the book Endure. What are your personal limit breakers? What's the overwhelming thing that helps you break past your limits. Can you sum it up in one word?

Join us in The EDGY Facebook group and share the one word you use to break through your limits. Is it the same as the one discussed here? edgy.es/fbgroup

At 1, Christian Friedrich Heinecken, the legendary child prodigy had read the Pentateuch. At 2, speed skater Bonnie Blair began skating. She should go on to win five Olympic gold medals.

At 3, Wolfgang Mozart, taught himself to play the harpsichord.

At 4, Brazilian Formula One race-car driver Ayrton Senna da Silva began driving.

At 5, Yo-Yo Ma, the world-famous cellist, began playing Bach's "Suites for Unaccompanied Cello" before bed each evening.

At 6, Willie Hoppe, the greatest billiards player in history, began to play pool. He had to stand on a box to reach the table.

At 7, English philosopher and economist John Stuart Mill had mastered Greek.

It's never too late (or too early) to be amazing. What's your story? Share it with us in the Facebook group >> edgy.es/fbgroup

The Big Takeaway: On the last discussion on commitment, we talk about how truly committed we are.

It takes more than doing something one time or one day to be able to say we are committed.

How about doing something every single day for the next 27 years? And what about doing it for the community and not just selfishly for yourself?

That's the story I am telling you about today. A hero. A committed man.

Listen and then join me over in The EDGY Facebook group and let me know what it is that you are truly committed to and what you would do every day for the next 27 years to better yourself or the world >> edgy.es/fbgroup

The Big Takeaway: Being recognized is not a measuring stick for your commitment.

You may live your whole life without being recognized for your commitment. And it doesn't mean anything if it doesn't happen ever. Lots of people were not recognized for their successes until long after they were gone.

As far as commitment goes, even I am not as committed as I thought I was.

Sometimes we have these "aha" moments. Mine was when I realized I needed to be more committed.

By talking commitment with you, I was forced to examine my own.

I was forced to look at my level of commitment versus the level of commitment of some of the greats of our time.

Are you performing at the same level as some of the greats? Or do you need to commit more?

Examine your level of commitment and join us at The EDGY Facebook group and share your progress. >> edgy.es/fbgroup

The Big Takeaway: You're committed until you are not. Today we talk about the second part of our discussion on commitment and some of the reasons and ways we sabotage our own commitment.

Do you resent other people's ideas? It's OK. It's easy to fall into that trap. How can we get past it and focus on our own ideas and successes?

Resentment is a waste of your time.

Working hard to impress others is a waste of your time.

Are there any ways that you've sabotaged your commitment that weren't on our EDGY list? We'd love to hear about what you've done to sabotage your commitment, but more importantly, how did you get your mind back on track to the meat of the issue? Your commitment.

The Big Takeaway: You and I do things that stop or limit our commitment aka we sabotage ourselves.

Each of us sees commitment in a different way. And it's purely dependent on what we are going through.

It's ever-present and ever evolving. It always matters.

Commitment isn't about doing more, it's about removing the things that are stopping you.

Before saying "yes" to commitment, do you trust your gut instinct? Are you in control of your life and your mindset?

What do you do to stick to your commitment? Are you quick to make commitments or do you kick it around and weigh the pros and cons of the commitment?

Let me know your thoughts in the EDGY Facebook group and let's talk about it >> edgy.es/fbgroup

It was World War II. A team of soldiers in the Americal Infantry Division was fighting inch by inch for a painfully embattled strip of tropical island in the South Pacific. Day after day they fought, losing men and gaining little headway. As the days dragged on, their supplies ran lower, and several of the men started getting sick. The debilitating symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting would have been bad enough

if enemy snipers and cleverly booby-trapped minefields hadn’t been even more dangerous.

How can you be tougher? Let's talk >> edgy.es/fbgroup

The Big Takeaway: Today, we tackle the big question: Are you as committed as you think you are?

When you look back at your accomplishments (or lack of) do you show a consistency of moving forward or do you start everything and never finish anything?

Today I talk about discipline, self sabotage, and the true measure of commitment.

Commitment is the most honest indicator of your path to success and only when you are being honest with yourself about your level of commitment will you reach your goals.

Let us know in The EDGY Facebook group what part of your commitment needs to be improved to get you to your greatness? Do you have a handle on it? Or are you struggling? Let's talk about it >> edgy.es/fbgroup

The Big Takeaway: To be committed or not to be committed? That is the question.

Today I talk about the ways in which you can become more committed. From your financial health to committing to just being plain excellent.

As we plunge into the deep end of commitment, we will continue to talk about going the extra step.

Because that is what commitment is. It is going the extra step. It is making the choice to do more. To be more.
