Filter, Focus, and Prioritize Your Path
My wife and I were having dinner this weekend. She finally asked, “Are you going to tell me what you’re doing for Operation Reinvention this Summer? I want to help.”
I said, “I won’t need your help. I need your support.”
She had a puzzled look. I don’t blame her. But, I am locked in on my Goal - and that needs two things:
1) The ability to filter out what doesn’t matter and prioritize what does.
2) Accept 100% responsibility for reaching your Goal. As they say, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” Anything less will remove you from control.
You’ll find many well-meaning people offering support if you miss either one. The problem? The suggestions they make will be different from how you imagined your journey. As soon as that happens, you have pulled off your path.
If you are setting off on a life-transforming Goal, it’s okay to accept the support of others. Remember, your most important supporter is YOU!

Are You The Monkey in The Middle?
Have you ever found yourself stuck in the middle?
I was speaking with a client trying to be everything to everybody. His business was not growing. His life was not happy. He couldn’t seem to find a way to make progress.  
That’s when I said…
“My friend, you are stuck in the middle. Nothing good happens when you are in the middle.”
In business and life, having low expectations and being surrounded by like-minded folks is okay. 
It’s also okay to reach for your dreams, has high expectations, and expect that of others.
What happens if you’re in the middle?
When low and high expectations combine, confusion is the result. Mediocrity overtakes quality. Frustration will be your daily friend.
The choice is yours. If I were you, I would make the decision never to get stuck in the middle.

Don’t Be The Monkey in The Middle?

5 Words To Succeed at Anything
When I was a baby DJ in broadcast school, I spent a lot of time learning the rules of journalism. While that subject fills books, almost everything we needed to know was -
Who? What? When? Where? Why?
If you know that information, you can tell a complete story.
Years later, I re-arranged the formula for personal growth. Every time I set goals and consider a different direction, I ask -
What? Why? When? Where? Who? 
Occasionally I need to ask HOW I will accomplish my goal - but that usually takes care of itself.

5 Words To Succeed at Anything

Let Your Greatness Shine
 Whether in business, having a job, going to school, or living your life, your ability to present well will supercharge your success.
Here are five tips I use every day:
1) Understand that most folk only expect you to wow them. They are not expecting bad. You shouldn't either.
2) Join the conversation THEY already have inside their head, not the one YOU are having.
3) You'll move faster if you drop the small talk and dig into the meat of your communication. You can fill in additional information later.
4) The sooner you get people to suspend disbelief and engage with you, the sooner you will succeed.
5) Stop overkill. Find the first best place to take your exit and bring your meeting to an end.
You're going to be amazed at how well this works.

Focusing on YOUR Important
As a child, I remember heading out the door for a day in an endless adventure. It usually concluded with a game of Hide-And-Seek.  
Those days seemed to last forever.
These days, most of us are still running until the sun goes down. But there's so much to do that we rarely have time to ponder the bigger picture.
Remember-
You will always find time for your most important tasks. You will eat, sleep, pay bills, feed the dog, and take care of your children - no matter how crazy life gets.
When life gets crazy, and you scream, "Something has to GIVE…" it's usually your dreams for the future that get put off.
Steven Covey reminded us how important it is to focus on what's important as much as possible. Make sure you put yourself on the list too. Then, when life goes off the rails, fix it as soon as possible, get back to what's essential, and keep moving.
Not all dreams come true, but the important ones always seem to come your way.

Focusing on YOUR Important

The Will and Way of Change in 30 Days
Only a silly person thinks you can change everything about your life in 30 days - right?
Call me silly, but everything I've ever done was rooted in a 30-day sprint - even if I didn’t know it.
Here's how you do it:
1) Set what Napoleon Hill calls a Major Definite Purpose or a Big Ass Goal.
2) Stop negative self-talk. Others may throw sticks and stones; don't throw them at yourself.
3) List all the reasons you CAN be successful. Make it a long list.
4) Decide that you will do whatever it takes to reach your goal. For the next 30 days, nothing will stop you.
The impossible becomes possible when you are focused, willing to take massive imperfect action, and won't take no for an answer.
By the way…
When you seek or follow your purpose in life, your life will become one big non-stop happiness sprint.
