You may be thinking to yourself, I am to young to retire.  Wait!  Perhaps right now you are not thinking about retiring.  But regardless of your age you should think about it.  Most of us have dreams of one day stop working and do the things we want to do.  Maybe it’s traveling, playing more golf, spending more time with a hobby, volunteering, serve full time in missions or the ministry.  Sure you think about the financial needs it may take to retire, but how about your emotions.  Have you thought about the adjustments you will have to make?

In this episode of A New Direction writer and multiple published author Beverly Mann Lessard talks to us about some of the things you should consider before you retire.  Beverly took it upon herself to conduct research with hundreds of people, researching famous individuals thoughts on retirement and her own experience in her book, “Are You Emotionally Ready to Retire”.  The book is an eye opening read, and will give you several things to consider.  You will undoubtedly fall into one of three groups, the “Never Ready”, the “Always Ready” and the “Will Be Ready” to retire.  Yet it does not matter which group you think you may be in right now, life has a way of changing our plans.  Beverly is a great guest, “Are You Emotionally Ready to Retire” is a quick read, and the show will make you really think about your future.

We at A New Direction are so grateful for the financial support of our sponsors.  Please do us a favor go to their website, LIKE their social media pages, and tell them thank you!

Fear.  So often we do not want to admit it.  But as long as we are human we will fear.  But what about fear when it comes to leadership?  Can a leader afford to be afraid?  A leader may deny their they are afraid, but the truth is their behavior will give them away.  Because no matter how hard you try to deny it or ignore it, fear will rear it’s ugly head in a variety of different ways and flush you out!

In this episode of A New Direction I have the Internationally known and recognized rock star millionaire consultant and coach Dr. Alan Weiss!  Dr. Weiss has a brand new book out entitled, “Fearless Leadership” and in it he not only address fear, but then he helps you break it down, throw away your baggage and eliminate your fear.  Fearless Leadership is book that is not simply for leaders it is a book that is for anyone and everyone who is trying to move to the next level of their life and do it without that “little guy” on your shoulder telling you “you can’t”.  Fearless Leadership is Home Run for sure!

No one ever says:  “We hope to find the right person, fall hopelessly and passionately in love, have a beautiful wedding, live together for a while then let our relationship disintegrate and crash and burn in divorce”.  Yet so many relationships do disintegrate and wind up in divorce.  Why?  When we stop getting the love that we need …we stop loving back.  And when that happens the downward destructive spiral takes the relationship into a path of separation.  The fact is we all want to be loved, and we want to love.  And when it doesn’t happen in our most important relationship, everything else is just a little more empty.

Dr. Mike Garrett joins us in studio on this episode of A New Direction with his book co-written with his wife Rhonda Garrett entitle “Love Needs:  Discover Your Top 10 Languages of Loving.  Dr. Mike (as many call him) talks with us about why it can be difficult to get both people into counseling, the challenges of the “conflict cycle”, resentments, and even the importance of sex and why it doesn’t happen.  Love Needs the book, contains 30 chapters that describe a separate need we have when it comes to love and even has an assessment to help you identify your top 10 love needs.  Let me ask you this question, if you are being honest how is your relationship with your significant other…really?  Then let me follow it up with the next question:  Are you getting the love that you need?  Well there is a really good change your significant other is not getting the love they need either.  Tune into the show as Dr. Mike walks you through some counseling, and get yourself a copy of the book Love Needs.  You your significant other will be glad you did!

Have you ever been around someone you are trying to avoid?  Or maybe it is someone that you feel like you just cannot get along with?  Maybe you believe there is someone out to get your job or get you fired?  Maybe it is your boss or manager that you feel like you have to walk on egg shells around because you just “know” they are out to get you?  And any one of these feelings translates into your shoulders creeping up to your ears, your heart rate increases, you have these horrible imaginary conversations with yourself.   And at the end it all may say something like, “I’ll show them!”.  Welcome to the “Judger Mindset”  our mindset that takes down the spiral path and pit of self-destruction.  Nothing gets accomplished, we get more and more skeptical and we wallow in our pit.  What if I told you there was a way to get out?

How many times have you either said, or heard it said, “People don’t change”.  Maybe you have made the statement or heard the statement, “I am what I am”, indicating that change is impossible.  Or perhaps you have said, “there is nothing I can do about my situation, no one will give me a break”.   Do you know what those are?  Myths!  Oh sure, you can find some support for your argument, but the real truth is you have created for yourself a distinct narrative that you believe cannot be changed.  You have created an idea that you have no control, or worse yet that you cannot change your life or direction.  They are part of our horrible programming or the “code” in your head that makes you believe such rubbish.  There is an answer.

On this episode of A New Direction author/coach Darren J. Gold exposes the lies that we have in our head and rewrites the code that we have come to believe.  What would your life be like if instead of saying “I am what I am” you could rewrite your brain code to “I am the author of my own life”?  How would your life change if you could see the facts that instead of saying, “I am just emotional and I am wired to react” you would say, “I act, I do not react”?  And how could your future be different if instead of saying, “I have no control over my destiny” you instead lived like, “I live on purpose” what would that do for your life as you live it right now?  Darren’s book “Master Your Code: The Art, Wisdom, and Science of Leading an Extraordinary Life” helps you live the life you could be living right now…but you have to rewrite your code.  Not only rewrite it, but Master Your Code.  This show is one for the ages and one that you will listen to again and again.  The book “Master Your Code” is available in all formats including audio…get yours today!

So often as sales or business professionals we want some slick silver bullet strategy that will increase our business.  Somehow our mind has convinced us that there must be some magical secret that somehow we missed to getting more sales.  However, the reality is there are no silver bullets and there is really no such thing as “magic”.  The fact is being a better at sales, business, or life have one thing in common…YOU!  The very person who is going to increase their sales, be a better CEO, or a better person is going to be the person who is reading this right now.  However, those improvements only happen when the person makes positive changes in their life.  It is then and only then will they see positive changes everywhere else.  And that is the heart of Robert Paolini and his book Good T.A.L.K. Great Sales.

In this edition of A New Direction (AND) Robert Paolini walks us through some of the steps of making the changes in your life to affect the changes in your business.  These change require discipline to start new positive habits that create positive change.  The book Good T.A.L.K. Great Sales is a culmination of life changing techniques that affect the life of your business.  He starts by outlining the acronym T.A.L.K.  Truth, Attention, Listening, and Kindness and explains that these four pillars, if you will, are essential for any sales or business person to have greater success, because in every aspect these principles when practiced sincerely create powerful relationships that lead to better business.  We then leads us through Ha. He. Wi. We. – HAppiness, HEalth, WIsdom, and WEalth, and how these flow together to give us a fun reminder of how to live.  Robert or Bobby as he likes to be called then takes us through “Knowing Your Why” and going deeper on your Goals, and then finally talks us through Hal Elrod “s– “The Miracle Morning” and the power of  changing your morning and your day with S.A.V.E.R.S….but your going to have to listen to show to hear what that acronym means.  Enjoy!

The post Principles for a Better Life and Business – Good T.A.L.K. Great Sales – Robert Paolini appeared first on Jay Izso.

Most all of us at one time or another have said to ourselves…”I really need to lose some weight”.  Or maybe you looked at yourself in the mirror naked and thought to yourself…”that cannot be me!”  The fact is being overweight is a problem.  We tried to diet, but we failed.  So we just give up.  Then we may try to excuse it, accept it, and create mantra’s around it that take our weight and throw a bow around it, or we can face the truth about it.  What is the truth?  Being overweight is not healthy for ourselves, for our careers, or for our family and friends.  Being overweight creates problems and the longer we do not address our weight and unhealthy eating patterns, the greater and more numerous the problems become.

Ralph Peterson joins us on A New Direction with his best selling book, “Adventures in Diet Land:How to Win at the Game of Dieting from a Former Fat Guy“.  Ralph Peterson woke up with his wedged between the toilet seat and the tub, embarrassed, hungover, and fat.  He was eating too much, drinking too much, and he was ready to end it all, take his life and be done with it.  He tried every diet and failed.  Most of the time to lose some weight only to gain it all back plus some.  Now over 350 pounds, life made less sense to him.  Then…something changed inside him…the rock bottom moment…he got himself in this situation, he needed to get himself out of it, but he was going to need some help.

Adventures in Diet Land is a phenomenal read.  The book takes you through Ralph’s story and then he gives you the 50 life changing rules that he follows to this day that helped him lose more than 150 lbs!  One of the biggest takeaways you will get from this episode of A New Direction and Adventures in Diet Land is dieting really never works.  There has to be a significant change and that change must start with you!  Adventures in Diet Land is available in all formats.  As soon as you read it, it will become clear why it was an Amazon best seller.  You can learn more about Ralph Peterson by going to www.RalphPeterson.com

The post Adventures in Diet Land -Lessons from a Former Fat Guy – Ralph Peterson appeared first on Jay Izso.

There are many lessons we can learn from our journeys in business and life.  We all have them.  But how many of us have actually took a journal and wrote every day about our journey.  Not many of us for sure.  Rob Jolles one of the world’s leading sales trainers and inspirational speakers has been journaling his travels as a speaker and world traveler.  He has logged over 2.5 million miles around the globe.  At one point he was 280 days on the road speaking to group after group grooming sales departments, CEO’s and staff.  And in his book he gives us a glimpse into the 19 years he spent jumping from plane to plane, city to city and the lessons he learned that can be applied to both life and business.  He truly understands The Way of the Road Warrior.

The Way of the Road Warrior is not your typical business travel book.  It is much deeper than that.  In this episode of A New Direction Rob Jolles shares his life, his experiences, and the highs and the lows that come with both a heavy travel schedule and the toll it takes on both him and the people he loves.  This book is both entertaining, and at the same time incredibly honest.  He pulls no punches and gives you the great successes and great failures, and the life that nearly cost him everything.  The lessons shared in The Way of the Road Warrior apply to all of us.  You do not have to be a traveling speaker or salesman to glean a powerful message that should awaken all of us as we try to achieve success.

We can look in our business, our relationships, our careers, our lives in general and say, “things need to change”.   None of us want that change to be for the worse, so we try to take control.  We decide quite often that if we have the power to change things we will.  So we start handing out orders, making edicts, creating systems, sometimes creating systems for the systems, get angry, get bossy, start pressing harder, and yet in the end not much really changes.  Oh things may change a little, but not enough to make a difference.  The fact is you are still stuck.  All the control that you took back didn’t add any positive or significant value.  Instead, you became more isolated, more frustrated, and the people around you don’t want to be around you any more much less help you.

Welcome in Brian Dixon.  He is experienced in helping people solve their biggest problems, overcome their greatest challenges, and just gets people “unstuck”.  He discovered a secret to successfully navigating positive change.  Instead of trying to control everything around him, he made a daily decision to start with his people.  Dr, Dixon has written an amazing book that gives us true insights into life, purpose, and profitability by truly serving others, entitled, “Start with Your People”.

In this episode of A New Direction Brian Dixon takes on a journey from how he vulnerably allowed people he knew and or worked with tell the truth about who he was, and that transformed him to understand that he needed to start serving.  From his wife, to his friends, to his employees, to his clients, to the dance instructor studio for his children.  He truly served them all and demonstrated how to “Start with Your People“.  In Start with Your People you will learn practical applied lessons in dealing with topics such as “who your number one client is, how to deal with difficult people, what it takes to create a master mind group, discover your purpose, use your passion to your advantage, have a better relationship with money and more.  This is one of those episodes of AND that will inspire you and empower you.
