More than half of marriages end in divorce. If you talk to the people involved most of the time it wasn't their fault.  Today I begin the postmortem of my divorce which ended a relationship that spanned half my life on and off at the time it finally ended.  My personal development coach talks about being real in order to get results. Today's content is about as real as it gets. I hope it helps you if you have been through similar situations.

Today we discuss #growthhacking and #inspiration in the podcast. When an entrepreneur is trying to get their business off the ground there are many unknowns and added stresses.  In today's episode we look at how a basic book titled 212* the extra degree by Sam Parker and Mac Anderson helped me make a mental shift today.  I will take that lesson and help with how you can apply it to your life today.  As always you can reach me @coachmikedemo on FB  and @coach_mike_demo on IG   IF you find value in this episode please rate and review so i can impact more people.

I was up before the sun came up today. The last month has been very tough. Ever felt that way? Today I discuss what happens when your actions are not in alignment with your purpose. I hope it brings you value and helps you get on the track you are destined for.

Can you believe it has been 18 years since the towers fell? Where were you? How did you feel? How did it impact your life?   Today I discuss some of the ramifications of the events of that day and talk about some of the root causes of the events of that day. I also discuss the fact that we have been at war for decades previous to 9/11 and will be until we mitigate the initiating factors that find kids joining their cause.    As always please leave a review and let me know what you have taken away from the podcast.

Today I take you back to my childhood. In hindsight our parents do the best they can with the tools they have available.  This lack of knowledge creates many of the personality traits that become embedded in our psyche. It may be OCD, being messy, being nervous or any of the plethora of other characteristics one could use to describe the results of this emotional shift. Today I discuss my issues with abandonment and how it has impacted my life and what I am doing about it.

I have struggled severely with anxiety and being crippled knowing how much I need to accomplish to keep a business or career afloat.   Today I share a high level review of how I plan out my week so I can feel the power that comes from setting intention. I sincerely hope it helps empower you to take hold of your business and life to drive success!   AS always please rate and review if you find value in the podcast.

As I type this the day before the episode launches I think back to when I recorded it. If you're anything like me you have felt the inertia caused by inaction.  In business it can mean life or death when the time comes to innovate, to decide.  In today's episode I tell a story from an old logging community in Maine. I tell the story of how being able to risk being the fool and saying why not can lead to once in a lifetime adventure. Whether you are an entrepreneur or employee taking the initiative will lead you to future growth and success.     If you found value in this episode do me a favor and write me a review. I am trying to reach a thousand people this month and every review helps.    You can also reach me on FB @coachmikedemo or on IG @coach_mike_demo

In this Labor Day mobile recording we discuss the problem faced by many sales leaders and business owners.  As a leader I struggled to balance the volume of sales activity with the quality of the sales process utilized. I know as a consumer I am turned off from hype men that cannot deliver. Maybe you have felt that before.  As a business owner it is critical that your sales staff is in alignment with the mission. If they do not have a quality value prop for the client you need to find what it is and engage them in their language.    During this episode I will include real world examples from being a sole prop to working for a Fortune 100 company. I hope the lessons I learned the hard way elevate your month!

The biggest thing you can do in life is to save the life of another according to mythology. This isn't true because you need to be able to help yourself before you help others.  Today I discuss the psychological path that leads one to commit to taking over responsibility for another's life. I have learned in the following years that if you do not have yourself in order you cannot help anyone else.    Mr. Elvis helped bring that into stark contrast and I love him to pieces for teaching me this lesson. Those lessons can be passed on to you. It turns out the master guides the pupil in many ways!   This episode is late for national dog day but Mr. Elvis would not want it any other way.    If you find value in this podcast please leave a written review. It makes the world of difference in being able to reach others.
