What would happen in your life, business, and relationships if you could be your most productive self?

Imagine it - every interaction, every transaction, and every conversation filled with the very best you have to give. No distractions. No divided attention. No half-hearted measures. The goal of today's conversation is to give you some tools to help you eliminate the distractions that each of us face on a day to day basis. Today's guest, Dr. Cristy Lopez, visited me in studio to share the tools that enable you to keep things simple, make better life choices, and maintain powerful focus. It's all on this episode of Growth to Freedom.

Do you know the difference between being busy and being productive?

Most people don't. Being busy can give you the feeling that you are being productive but it's really an illusion. It's often the case that busy people are spinning their wheels, not really getting anywhere.

Dr. Cristy Lopez is an expert in helping people recognize the patterns and habits that hold them back from maximizing their productivity in life, relationships, and business - and on this episode she shares the first steps toward recapturing your productive spark.

One of the first things you've got to determine is how you are going to deal with interruptions. Notice I didn't say, "How you're going to avoid interruptions," because that's not possible. You will always have people knocking on your door, calling you, emailing, interrupting - but what are you going to do to minimize the impact those inevitable interruptions have on your productivity?

Dr. Lopez says that it takes anywhere from 20 to 25 minutes for the average person to get back into a state of true productivity once they've been interrupted. That means it's crucial that you know how to quickly deal with the distractions that come your way and get back into your productive state sooner.

And productivity is not just about business, it's also needed in relationships.

When you are with your spouse or children, is your mind wandering or focused on things other than the precious time you have together in that moment? Don't underestimate the importance of those relationships.. Dr. Lopez highlights some things you can do to help keep your mind undistracted during family time, on this episode, so be sure you take the time to listen.

Here's a glimpse of what you'll discover in this show:

• The power of Productivity - introduction; [0:31]
• What would happen if you could be your most productive self? [0:43]
• Productive versus busy - what's the difference? [2:23]
• Serial interruptions and the challenge of productivity [7:56]
• How disruptions detract from productivity and performance [9:20]
• Productivity in your relationships [10:58]
• How to do the most productive thing at any given moment [15:12]
• Put a framework into place that helps you be productive. [17:45]
• Your main concern should be who you are and how you want to live your life [18:38]
• And more...

If it were possible to decrease the stress levels you experience in relationships by applying one principle, would you want to know what it was?

What if you could increase the amount of personal power you feel in your interactions and overcome barriers between you and the significant people in your life?

On today's episode of Growth to Freedom I'm talking with my good friend Dr. Cristy Lopez about healthy boundaries.

Cristy is a clinical psychologist who has been helping people become more successful in their own lives, relationships, and businesses for over 20 years. In Cristy's work with individuals she often sees her clients break through barriers and limitations, eliminate unhealthy ineffective patterns of thinking and behavior, and get on the path to a more successful and healthy life. Many times those changes come through the understanding and implementation of effective personal boundaries.

On this episode Cristy and I chat about the difference between barriers and boundaries, why knowing the difference is vital to healthy relationships, how you can set yourself up to win in relationships, why peace and safety are a direct result of healthy boundaries, overcoming the tendency to be a people pleaser, and so much more.

Toward the end of the show I issue a challenge to you, asking you to take the bold steps needed to develop even better relationship habits so that YOU can experience the peace, safety, and settledness of mind you deserve.

Here's a glimpse of what you'll walk away with from this interview:

• Boundaries versus Barriers [0:32]
• Who is Dr. Cristy Lopez? [1:40]
• What do people do wrong in the area of boundaries? [2:38]
• How can you set yourself up to win in relationships? [5:03]
• Why letting go is so important - and so difficult. [6:55]
• 3 basic questions to discover appropriate boundaries [7:50]
• How assertiveness impacts the issue of proper boundaries [8:35]
• The 3 types of "business" that impact boundaries [10:30]
• How peace and safety come from healthy boundaries [11:20]
• Strategies to overcome people-pleasing by creating boundaries [13:05]
• How to navigate requests from others without falling prey to guilt [15:52]
• Creating a healthy culture for yourself [19:35]
• How you can connect with Dr. Cristy [20:23]
• And more...

What if I told you that you could optimize your internal game, develop an invincible and indestructible mindset, and accomplish things in your performance and in your health that you never thought possible?

And what if I told you that you could do it with 3 step method that is simple, can be done at home, and that anyone can do?

On this episode of Growth to Freedom you're going to learn that and a whole lot more as I speak with Wim Hof. Wim is known as "The Iceman" because of the many world records he has broken in the realm of extreme cold endurance. He has hiked Mount Everest in nothing but his shorts and has taught many others to do similar feats. How is it possible? Wim has discovered a 3 step method that enables you to take control of your mindset and inner physiology to accomplish incredible things both physically and psychologically. Join me for this fascinating conversation on this episode of Growth to Freedom.

When Wim begin breaking World Records for extreme cold endurance he got the attention of the scientific community. Many prominent scientists approached him and wanted to look into his method and validate what he had been teaching was true. The result: a scientifically proven 3 step method that you can apply to shield disease, overcome depression and anxiety, destroy migraine headaches, and increase your personal performance.

NOTE & Disclaimer: We do not make any health or medical claims. You understand that if you follow Wim's or anyone's guidance you should do so under the guidance of your doctor. You are responsible for your results and always do your homework to verify that any possible solution in health or business can work for you. Just because it works for some people does NOT mean it will work for all. If you do nothing, you'll also get the same - nothing. OK - I think that covers the legal disclaimer.

I know all of this sounds too good to be true, but according to Wim, it is scientifically proven. On this episode Wim shares the basics of these insights with us and provides a free resource that will enable you to get started developing your personal mindset, physical strength, and building a stronger YOU.

Here's a glimpse of what you'll walk away with from this interview:

• The 3 Step Method for Personal Power; [0:30]
• Who is Wim Hoff? [1:30]
• How Wim got the attention of the scientific world; [9:46]
• Wim's 3-step method to shield disease: breathing, mindset, and cold exposure; [13:17]

• What a person can do when they are in a state of anxiety; [19:31]
• The impact of cold exposure on changing the mind and body; [23:57]
• How you can get access to Wim's free course; [29:13]

Would you like to know how to package and present yourself or your offer to generate more leads, more sales, and more profits?

On this episode of Growth to Freedom that's exactly what I'm going to show you. Once you see how simple it is, you're going to be surprised that more people, including you, haven't been doing this all along. It's not a difficult process - it only takes 15 minutes of brainstorming with a pencil and paper - but it will yield long term results if you take it seriously and do the work.

The process I'm going to describe today begins with a series of simple questions that reveal the danger, needs, and desires of your ideal client.

These questions are designed to get you inside the head of that ideal client, the one who needs exactly what it is you have to offer. When you're able to understand what they think about the problems, pains, and passions that drive them toward a solution like the one you offer, you'll begin to see exactly what you need to say, how you need to approach them, and what you need to offer to generate the sale.

Today's show will give you a road map that shows you the steps: How to position yourself and your product or service, how to communicate the value you offer, how to phrase your call to action, how to overcome objections, and how to ask for and get the sale.

It's amazing what a few pointed questions can do, but you're only going to see the results I'm promising if you take the time to actually do what I'm sharing with you: Get your pencil and paper, sit down, and walk yourself through these questions.

Here's a glimpse of what you'll get in this segment:

• [0:31] How to get to the core of your clients desires;
• [3:00] Dan Sullivan's framework: The problem is not the problem, it's how you think about the problem;
• [3:20] The questions you need to ask yourself (and I didn't come up with these) - for greater clarity, productivity, and conversions;
• [4:15] Rethinking what you offer? (HINT: It's not what you think it is);
• [5:22] How to create Exponential Outcomes: What is it going to do for your clients overall?
• [6:43] How to read your clients minds (market research);
• [9:08] Identify your ideal client's top 3 desires (and how you can uniquely fulfill it);
• [10:15] What are the biggest reasons why your ideal client wants a solution?
• [11:22] How to anticipate your client's reason(s) for not buying - and convert more sales;
• [13:00] Why a percentage of the people listening will not take action;
• [14:00] How to craft your presentation in a compelling way;
• [16:29] Why you need to come up with a "step" approach to your solution;
• [17:23] The importance of a great call to action;
• [19:08] If you do nothing, you'll get nothing. How to get people to take action!
• And more…

What if I told you that I've got a guaranteed way for you to lead and grow rich?

That's the kind of statement that makes your skeptic radar go on full alert, doesn't it? I'm going to tell you how to do exactly that in this episode. It's not hype. It's not wishful thinking. It's not the typical goal-setting and productivity approach that you normally hear.

It's all about "state". It's about knowing how to determine and regulate your own internal state of being and how to be a "state inducer" for others. Even if you only take one of the principles covered in this episode, you're going to see a way to have a bigger impact, significance, and contribution.

What do I mean by determining your "state?"

We all have an internal state of being, a default attitude or mindset. It's what dictates the way we live, the things we do, and how we handle the situations and challenges that life throws at us. And The great news is that no one gets to determine what that inner state is.

How could your life change if you had a secondary passive income coming in every month?

What would it mean to you if you could make enough money through your business efforts to make a real difference in the world?

Today's guest, Matt Miller, has built his business on the idea that everyone needs a side income stream that enables them to move their life to the next level. He's the owner and leader behind School Spirit Vending, a vending company that has created the dream life Matt has always wanted and is also bringing about powerful change in the educational system in the US...by empowering schools to effectively raise funds for much needed resources, materials, and programs. Matt's a down to earth guy who's got a great opportunity to share with you, so be sure you listen to this episode of Growth to Freedom.

Leaving the Air Force and blazing a new trail, Matt Miller wasn't sure what he would do.

But he knew that he didn't want to be in another situation where someone was always telling him what to do. Deep inside was a desire for freedom, a desire to chart his own course and live a life of freedom and independence. After selling products online through eBay and Amazon for years, Matt believed that there had to be a better way. When a friend at church mentioned vending machines, Matt was all ears. He figured the machines did most of the selling once they were in place, and that was all it took to peak his interest.

The rest is history. Matt has now built his own company, School Spirit Vending, centered around the idea of passive income providing security, flexibility, and wealth, coupled with a belief that he has been placed on the planet to make a difference.

And more than all of that, Matt is excited that his business model is transferable, which means that he's able to help other families find the lifestyle of freedom and impact that he's found through vending opportunities. On this episode of Growth to Freedom Matt shares how a vending business could be the exact source of income many families are looking for, and provides a way for you to get a free copy of his book, "Live Your Dreams" that outlines the opportunity and impact a vending business can provide.

Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn in this show:

• [0:31] Who is Matt Miller?
• [3:11] How to move from here to there;
• [6:50] Some of the best leadership traits Matt learned in the military;
• [13:01] Why Matt didn't take the typical path of becoming an airline pilot after the air force;
• [16:48] Matt's biggest frustration with the entrepreneurial journey;
• [19:16] The insight from Warren Buffett: Delayed Gratification;
• [20:51] Boundaries and systems for maximum productivity;
• [25:40] How to create a blueprint to hit and achieve your goals;
