Grudges take energy.  They eat up our time in the present and prevent us from looking toward the future.  Learning to forgive is essential to moving forward in life.  Without it you will always be stuck in the past.  The irony of it all is we don’t really have to learn to forgive other people.  We only have to learn how to forgive ourselves.  Building on Monday’s episode, join me as I share my experience at 40 Years of Zen.     To share questions or comments, feel free to reach out at [email protected]

Living a challenge based lifestyle means creating measurable goals and targets to shoot for.  After four years of living this lifestyle I realized that I had accomplished a lot in body, balance, and business, but I had largely neglected going deep into being.  To be completely transparent, I believe I was avoiding it because it’s simply harder to quantify.  After all this time, I finally decided to dive deep into being and go down the path of 40 Years Of Zen.  While I’m not going to go into intricate details of the program, in this three part series I will dive into my time in Seattle and what I took away from the experience.   To share questions or comments, feel free to reach out at [email protected]

Social media is a tricky thing.  While it’s a great tool to connect and grow a business, it gives people the ability to loo way bigger than they are.  I’m not talking physical size, I mean in terms of knowledge and expertise.  This means people frequently hire individuals who are individuals posing as pro’s.  Instead of getting the best coach or trainer, you wind up getting the best salesperson or marketer.  Why does all this matter?  It matters because true professionals usually cost more to work with.  So remember, when you go to hire anyone, paying less to hire an amateur is going to cost you way more in the long run than if you just hired a pro in the first place.   To share questions or comments, feel free to reach out at [email protected]

Do you have a habit of focusing on your reasons?  It seems that so many of us have the default mindset of focusing on why we can’t do something, thus defeating ourselves before we even start.  Often we place the opinions of others ahead of our own.  When working with a client, we discovered that he was focused on the reasons why he couldn’t do something rather than the work leading to his desired results. Listen to find out how we helped him switch his mindset to accomplish his goals and how you can do the same.   To share questions or comments, feel free to reach out at [email protected]
