  • Mike’s Mind: What Are You Willing to Give Up to Get What You Want? (#273)

    In today's episode, I ask the question, "What are you willing to give up to get what you want?"  After going through a rather interesting thought exercise, I deiced that that's not the first question you need to ask yourself.

    Before you ask yourself what you're willing to give up to get what you want, you first need to know what it is that you want in the first place and probably why you want it.  How long are you willing to wait for it?  Who can help you.

    Please join me as I go through the questions I believe need to be asked before you get to the question What Are You Willing to Give Up to Get What You Want?

  • Mike’s Mind: Be Myself - What Does That Mean? (#271)

    In this episode, I talk about the concept of being yourself. We hear it proclaimed how important it is to be yourself. But what if being yourself causes an issue for someone else?   do you always want the entire world to see the real you?  All of you, or just the parts that are the best? Is there a line?

  • Mike’s Mind: Mitfreude (#269)

    In this episode, I talk about success -- not your success, but other people's success -- and how you view it.  I talk about the concept of mitfreude and schadenfreude.

    How do you want others to view your success?  With joy or not? I share what I feel is a pretty easy formula if you prefer mitfreude.  Have a listen, and let me know what you think.

  • Devon Harris - How This 3-Time Olympian Keeps on Pushing for Success (#268)
    Born on Christmas Day, 1964, Devon Harris was raised in the violent ghetto environment of Olympic Gardens in Kingston, Jamaica. The greatest gift he ever received was the belief that a positive attitude and a never-say-die philosophy would carry him farther than a sense of
    injustice and a heart filled with anger.

    Devon Harris graduated from the prestigious Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in England and received a Queen’s Commission in December 1985 and served in the officer corps of the Jamaica Defence Force until December 1992 when he retired as a Captain.

    Encouraged by his commanding officer, Devon tried out for and was selected to the first Jamaican bobsled team. The team competed in the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary, Canada and their exploits inspired the Disney blockbuster movie Cool Runnings.

    The Keep On Pushing Foundation, which he founded in 2006, aims to support and enhance the education of kids in disadvantaged communities by providing practical solutions to the challenges that are preventing them from getting educated.

    Through the Keep On Pushing Foundation, Devon also works with Right to Play as an athlete ambassador. He supports Right to Play’s efforts in using sport and play in refugee camps around the world to enhance child development and build community capacity.

    Being an ex-serviceman, Devon understands the commitment, sense of duty and sacrifices made by those who volunteer to serve. As a private citizen,  he is cognizant of the fact that the freedoms he enjoys are paid for by the courage and sacrifice of these men and women. As a result, he has also devoted time to visit the troops serving in the Persian Gulf and around the country. He is the author of the motivational children’s book, Yes, I Can! and the semi-autobiographical motivational book Keep On Pushing: Hot Lessons From Cool Runnings.

    During the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang, Korea, Devon was inducted as
    an Olympian For Life by the World Olympian Association for his significant contribution to
    society.

    He lives in New York and is married with 5 children.

  • Mike’s Mind: Put Your Best Email Foot Forward (#267)

    In this episode, I share with you what I found to be the five tips about getting what you want from email -- especially from strangers.  Like I do with everthing, I've called upon my own experiences to create this list, because I think I have a pretty good handle on how to interact with people via email, when I would like to engage them in something I think would be valuable to both of us -- and on the other side as well: I know what gets my attention.

  • Mike’s Mind: Why Shifts ALWAYS Beat Pivots (265)

    In this epeisode, I talk about the difference between Shifts and Pivots. I'm a words person -- there's a distinct difference between the two words, and as an entrepreneur, we are often required to to change direction, and that, my friend, is not a Pivot. It's a Shift. Changing direction and continue moving forward!
