There is one thing that affects your work more than any other thing.

If you answered your boss, you would be incorrect.

The fact of the matter is YOU have the power to change your environments, your job, and how you go into everyday problems professionally or personally.

But how do we do that?

In this episode of A New Direction CEO and Author Scott White a.k.a. “The Life is Too Short Guy” joins us.

Scott will give us strategies for our mind, will, emotions, and behavior that will change the way you see the world, interact with the world.

These strategies will make the world a better place not only for yourself but for others as well.

Scott’s book, The Life Is Too Short Guy: Strategies to Make Every Day the Best Day Ever is a book that will truly help you live your life with positivity and greater enjoyment. 

The book uses 10 timeless principles to help you reset your mind.  Reframe your thinking and start living your life with positivity and a smile.

The best part of the book is that we all have control over these 10 principles that will lead to a better life.

The life is Too Short Guy book however is not just about you and I.  The emphasis on the book is that by living a more joyous and happy life we will impact the world around us.

And this is the critical part of the book.  The life that we lead is the life others see.  We live in a world of so much negativity.  Isn’t it time we turn the tables on the news media and the negativity around us so that we can live our best live ever.

The post 10 Life Strategies to Make Every Day the Best Day Ever appeared first on Jay Izso.

Are you going through the motions of life? Have you been checking all the boxes you were told to achieve? Do find it seems so meaningless? Does it seem that what you thought looked like financial freedom and bliss has become a job jail, bound by golden handcuffs?

How’s your family life? Or do you even have one? How about your fitness? Finances? How’s your future? Is it a blur? And have you lost faith?

If any of this sounds like you, please know you are not alone. Millions of people are living a life of struggle. The pressure mounts, with no end in sight. You need a change. But how do we get there. It’s time to get beyond the rut.

And in this episode of A New Direction author, entrepreneur, coach and show host Jerry Dugan walks us through his latest book “Beyond the Rut”. Join us right here for some very important life change.

Jerry Dugan’s book “Beyond the Rut: Create a Life Worth Living in Your Faith, Family, and Career” is a quick read, but is a straight forward look at what many of us experience…”the rut”.

Beyond the Rut dives into what is the rut, and the lies that we tell ourselves that keep us in the rut of life.  It exposes the truth about what the rut really is and that the rut is not as deep as we believe.

Beyond the Rut also takes a look at how since we have been children we have been conditioned to be in the rut.  And how over time that conditioning has created a number of problems.

Jerry also exposes us to the 5 F’s where our rut takes a toll, Faith, Family Fitness, Finances, and our Future.  And how when we are in “the rut” we are not as healthy in any of these areas as we need to be.

The book provides a number of positive examples of those who have made the decision to get out of the rut.  The mindset that it took to get there and the freedom they feel.  Jerry provides a number of ways you can move beyond the rut and move to a life of success.

Enjoy the show!

Are you stuck?  Do you feel like your career is a a dead end?  Do you look at your life and say “is this all?”  We all have dreams of success.  But what keeps us from achieving it?  The first person you have to look is you?  The second thing you must do to reach success is stop blaming other people, situations and circumstances.  The fact is when studying people who have achieved success there are some common traits that any of us can learn.  And Author Peter G. Ruppert joins us in this episode of A New Direction and gives us insights to how you can be “Limitless” and get success in your life, career, and your business.

Peter Ruppert‘s book is entitled “Limitless: Nine Steps to Launch Your Extraordinary Life” the lessons in this book are both timeless and practical.   And at the end of each chapter Peter lays out Action Steps to help you truly develop your success in your pursuits.  When it comes to success there is no guarantees.  But we also know that if we sit and do nothing we are guaranteed to get nothing.  When it comes to you success whether it is in your life, or your career, or our business you owe it to yourself to become “Limitless“

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.

There are so many around us who have lived a life with an alcoholic and abusive parent, or spouse.  Perhaps you have been the abuser, maybe you are still living a life of abuse.  Abuse does not have to be physical.  Sometimes the abuse is verbal.  A mean spirited lashing out.  But the truth is abuse can be in many forms and those who are being abused can fall into a victim mentality.  How do you move forward?  How do you heal?  The fact is the anger and the pain is real, and that’s okay…but you cannot stay there forever.  If you want to get through it you have to Forgive to begin the process, yes I said process of forgiveness.  Yes, we must forgive if we truly want to live a free life from the pain.

No one knows this better than former ESPN producer Jason Romano, for 17 years Jason worked for the world wide leader in sports on such programs as Game Night, Monday Night Football, College Game Day, and more!  However, his life from the time as a little boy to his work with ESPN was be riddled with an alcoholic father that would verbally abuse him every time he would drink.  A father that missed his graduations, his marriage, his own parents anniversary because drinking consumed him.  In this episode of A New Direction Jason Romano takes us through his life of Live to Forgive: Moving Forward When Those We Love Hurt Us.  We even talk about the reconciliation that is still occurring with his father today who has been sober for going on 7 years.  Live to Forgive is not only a great story it will inspire you and change you from victim to victor.

Also please look for Jason’s new book entitled “The Uniform of Leadership: Lessons on True Success from My ESPN Life.

Have you ever said, things like “If I were only….” then I could achieve success?  Well, the truth is you would not be alone.  As a matter of fact there is an epidemic of a lack of self worth that exists in our world.  So many people today are looking for so many artificial ways to be significant and try to look as if they have success.  The truth is you are already significant, and success is available to you, but like so many people we can be blind to our own significance.  Gina Gardiner knows this story.  A highly successful school administrator and teacher and then one day after a skiing trip her ability to move becomes severely limited putting her in a wheelchair.  What happens to your self-worth then?  Well if you are Gina you have to retrain your brain, change your beliefs about yourself and discover your value is right where it has always been…inside of you!

In this episode of A New Direction Gina Gardiner best selling author of Thriving Not Surviving: The 5 Secret Pathways To Happiness, Success and Fulfillment joins us to share her amazing story and some of the lessons she passes along to her clients.  The book weaves a fabric of the practical steps it takes to change your current situation from just surviving the world to thriving in today’s world.  Thriving Not Surviving is a true game changer.  We all have a choice.  We can choose our happiness, our success and our ability to be more fulfilled in our lives.  I highly recommend that you learn more about Gina and ways you can be a part of the Thrive Together Tribe.  The book is available in all formats including audio.

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!

Yesterday is not today…well that’s obvious.  So why do we believe that so many of yesterday’s leadership principles will still be effective today?  The fact is when it comes to work attitudes have changed.  Jobs are plentiful and when people do not like their boss, manager, or CEO, they just leave.  This costs the business massive amounts of money.  At some point we need to look at the lowest common denominator of employees exiting…the leader.  The days of “it’s my way or the high way” are over if you want to survive in business today.  The fact what people want from today’s leaders is to know that their leader actually cares.

In this episode of A New Direction (AND) author and leadership expert Michael Bianco-Splann discuss his book Conscious Leadership:  7 Principles to Change Your Business and Change Your Life.  We start by analyzing the most important piece to the puzzle and that is bringing the authentic you to your leadership.  If you are loved and cared for by others…why is that not the same person leading the company?  Why are often two different people?

Michael Bianco-Splann goes on to touch on such topics as being a better and more active communicator.  Taking Risks.  Servant Leadership.  How can we expect employees to care for customers if we do not care for them, Uncovering Myths when it comes to getting closer to your employees and associates and more!   We also learn one of the most powerful principles through out Conscious Leadership…it is our choice.  And that choice is going to take both courage and risk.  Do you have what it takes to truly be a Conscious Leader and employ a game changing attitude and behavior Conscious Leadership.
