Motivation in a MINI

Let me tell you about my weekend and how it speaks to who I am and what I am about. I hope it inspires you in multiple ways but if only one lands, that's great. Simple and sweet this Monday with some serious alliteration in the title. Work Hard. Be Nice. Let's be awesome folks.

It's so important to appreciate the moment and the people involved in those moments. So appreciation all around for what really matters, people and the connections we make with those individuals. Let's get that exclamation point in this week. You have the power to make that happen. WORK HARD. BE NICE. And have an awesome day intentionally.

Pre-Friday is my favorite because if I wait till Friday, it's probably too late. It's me holding myself accountable for what I owe myself and others. I don't mind sharing how I failed in a few fronts of being accountable and being honest with it. Once we accept the consequences of our actions fully, we can move to developing better discipline. And that my friends is accountability. Let's finish the week strong. WORK HARD. BE NICE. be awesome intentionally.

I'm not going to elaborate too much on the title and intent of this episode. Maybe one of my more provocative episodes, at least in title. But once you listen with an open mind, you'll understand what I mean by both statements. Enjoy. Happy hump day. Love yourself first. Then love others. Work hard. Be Nice.

Pick which one you like best because either one will work. Just so long as you are exercising one of them. It's important to make empathy/compassion a habit because you will be tested on it frequently in various facets of life's interactions. So how are you going to show up when it matters? What impression is your character going to leave on that other individual? I stress working hard and being nice. Hard to be nice without some compassion. So like a muscle, we gotta exercise it to get stronger with it. I'm pumped now and yes, it may be because it's Cinco de Mayo. So let's have an awesome day intentional and hopefully end it with some Mexican food and margaritas to celebrate our awesome day.

I come clean on the podcast while inspiring you to get out your comfort zone. Additionally let's discuss why last week wasn't your best. And even more importantly, that's great because it's Monday and it's time to trump last week. The simplest way I know to out performing last week is by WORKING HARD & BEING NICE. LOVE Y'ALL! Happy Star Wars Day you nerds!

Great week so time to put the icing on it. It's important to shower gratitude on those that have gotten us here. It's also just as important to give ourselves credit for our successes. We can be our worst critic, well then you better be your biggest cheerleader too! It's only fair to yourself. And frankly you really need to be your biggest cheerleader because unless this is the Truman show, no one gets to see every little choice and action you take to make awesome things happen. So either share that awesomeness with others or give yourself a huge pat on the back. It's Friday and I'm pumped. I'm dying to WORK HARD & BE NICE. ARE YOU?

How's your week progressed? What's left undone? What are you about? Ask real questions and demand real answers. Let's talk about what we are really about so we can truly live up to it going forward. And let's WORK HARD & BE NICE while we do it. Love y'all! Let's finish the second part of our week strong.

Hope this isn't your first time hearing this word. But if it is that's even better because it's truly a powerful word. Grit by Angela Duckworth is a book that sums what grit truly means. Highly recommend it. At a minimum, watch her Ted talk. But beyond her insightfulness, I've lived it first hand and believe in the power of perseverance. It truly is a matter of, "where there's a will, there's a way". So how bad do you want? Whose permission are you going to ask for to achieve it? Hot and heavy motivation on a Wednesday morning. So let's WORK HARD & BE NICE. Have an awesome day intentionally.

Let's go into the weekend strong and feeling good. So we do that by reflecting on how we showed up this week and put the exclamation point on it Today. I'll share with you mind to hopefully motivate and inspire you to get clarity on your wins or develop some of your own. Great week and I'm very pleased with it's ups and downs because that's the full human experience and I wouldn't have it any other way. And all we need to do at every occasion is just work a little harder and be a little nicer. I guarantee you'll have an awesome day after listening to this podcast and if you don't, I'll give you your money back. I'm proud of you and you've earned your weekend off. Just be sure to end today with a solid ❗
