If you knew something was negatively impacting your life would you do something about it? Often the answer is… no. Knowing isn’t always enough to cause doing. The chasm between “knowing and doing” is the biggest gap in life, the performance gap. Sadly, the consequences you experience as a result of ignoring it vary from minimal to monumental. There is hope and… help if you can stay focused on your growth. This episode has three reasons why paying attention to your growth and your mindset is crucial to living your best life.

If you’ve ever felt weary or embarrassed about not getting to where you want to be in the time you thought you would… today’s episode is for you. You’ll be challenged to consider how your: 

·     perseverance and grit levels are impacting your results.  

·     different view of a “big deal” will keep you moving forward. 

·     patience has paid off because the new name for the show is being announced! 

And you might be surprised to learn a better predictor of success than IQ or talent!

There are things in life that are finite; hours in a day, gallons of gas left in your tank, pages of paper in your notebook. However, there are others that always have the possibility for more. At any moment you can go in a different direction in your life, offer a smile to a stranger, or think a positive thought. In fact, there are so many more things that are abundant than scarce. 

Today’s episode explores why living with an abundance mindset is good for you and those around you.

It’s easier to find fault in the leadership of others than to admit our own. In this episode you’ll be challenged to view your life as an organization and consider where you may need to lift your own lid. Living your values (or not) is what’s driving your life’s culture and producing your results. The good news is there are some simple ways to make improvements that are completely within your power.

Most people would answer in the affirmative if asked, “Would you like to enjoy some measure of success in your life?” But saying yes and doing something about it are two different things. Today’s episode describes three strategies for moving you closer to the success you say you want in ways you can actually do.

Funny, but sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest difference. A pinpoint of light breaks the darkest room. One well-timed question sparks a much-needed solution. On the other hand… one ill-advised action or careless comment can destroy a team, organization or family. This episode suggests two small shifts that have the potential to positively impact many people and change every interaction…for the better. They have to do with how you approach your table. Listen now so you can start implementing them, immediately.

You would never tell someone who had a broken leg to “suck it up and run a marathon.” But how often do you tell yourself that the thing that’s keeping you up at night or distracting you during the day is “not that big of a deal?” Physical pains tend to command attention. But those internal nudges that something’s off are easier to push off as something you simply tolerate. Whether you know your nudge or think you don’t have one… this episode is for you.

Today’s episode will challenge you to consider the value of exploring your growth to get you from where you are to where you want to be. And… a way to start that exploration.

If you’ve ever thought or said, “I’m busy. I’m comfortable,” today’s episode will challenge you to rethink the value of those common answers to the all too familiar question, “How are you?” Those answers may inadvertently be causing you to ghost post your growth in ways that you never considered.
