Today my guest is Bret Johnson, who created the Push Journal with his wife, Chalene. Not only do I love using the Push Journal, it single-handedly allowed me to create the clarity that I needed to exit my chiropractic company and create my mastermind company. In this episode I chat to Bret about exactly how he and Chalene use their Push Journals. We also cover Bret’s recovery from a gambling addiction and how he and Chalene keep their sex life and marriage alive.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[17:29] Bret’s non-judgemental approach to his faith

[24:29] How Chalene and Bret keep their sex life alive after 24 years

[29:50] How EMDR therapy helped Bret address his gambling addiction

[42:05] How Bret and Chalene integrate the Push Journal with their cell phones

[58:41] Bret and Chalene’s nutritional business, The 131 Method

Today’s Topic: Leg-humping

Today’s episode is inspired by a post from our friend, Chris Harder. He coined the term ‘leg-humping’ to describe people who are trying to climb the social marketing online business ladder.You can apply it to anything. When someone comes into a business or some sort of group or environment, you can always tell the person that's trying to find out who there can help them the most, the person who is going to make them look better. They’re thinking, If I just get that person to do an IG takeover, then I'll skyrocket, or, if I can just get that person to take a picture with me and I can post it, it's going to catapult me into the universe. if you really want to up level your tribe, you have to do it in an authentic way, provide value and create real relationships. Practice what we call sensory acuity, using your senses to see if what you're saying or doing with someone is landing. And don’t gossip because we can't connect with somebody that we can't trust.

Today’s Topic: The 15-Year Overnight Success

 

This podcast, our business, the incredible tribe of people around us: it all started as a dream.

 

Not last night. Not last year. Over a decade ago.

 

Then, we created a plan – and after some time, a few stumbles, and a whole lot of action, we started seeing our dreams come true. Some may look at our posts on social media and call it an overnight success, but it took 15 years.

 

And we know that a lot of you are dreamers, too... but we also know that bridging that gap from dream to reality can feel impossible at times! So, today, we’re going to share the four things that helped shifted everything for us over the course of 15 years:

 

• Getting really, really honest with yourself (and your partner, if you have one) – dig deep to find out who you really are and what you really want, without the fear of judgement.
• Learning to manage your mindset. You will – not might – run into physical, mental, and emotional obstacles, so you have to be prepared for that.
• Be willing to take action and get uncomfortable. Manifesting is great, but you can’t manifest anything if you aren’t willing to make it happen.
• Celebrate your small wins along the way!

Today’s Topic: Leadership

 

If you’re going to lead other people – in your job, in your home, or in your community – you have to learn how to lead yourself.

 

At the same time, if you’re anything like me, you have to be able to recognize whether or not leading is something you excel at. Over the years, I’ve realized that I’m not the best person for leading a team of employees, so I’ve had to put systems and people in place to help me. Kim, on the other hand, is a natural!

 

So, today, Kim and I are going to get a little introspective before she shares three things you need to know and embody if you want to be a great leader:

 

1. A leader’s job is to hold other people’s vision
2. A leader empowers. A leader doesn’t enable
3. Your ego will inhibit your ability to grow as a leader, and you can only lead as far as you can grow
