In this episode, Devon Wayt and Robert Christiansen turn over the rocks of self-worth and how deep, meaningful conversations with colleagues, friends, and family can change your life.

In this episode, Devon and I discuss how whiteboarding removes the formality of presentations and Powerpoints and opens the door to deeper human connections.  During our latest Motive For Life course, we dug deep into the root drivers of personal attainment and satisfaction, and have concluded that human contact is what we want.  We also cover:

• Our most recent Meetup success
• The launch of our "good enough" web site
• The Whiteboarding Skills free gift
• How whiteboarding skills do not regress
• Our most recent Motive For Life course 

And a lot of random conversation.

This week on the Motive For Life podcast, we host Lance Daniel Smith as he unveils his journey to quit smoking through non-movement yoga and deep breath work.  We also learn how to use cold showers to calm our nervous system and center our emotions throughout the day.  And, of course, we are on week 4 of Building Whiteboard Skills and the development of our May 1st mantra.

We are building the Whiteboard Skills company - part-time and from our own money!  We've invested our own money and are trying to get to revenue as fast as we can.  It is week 3, and we focus on the buyer avatar, the persona and how they think.  The only way to truly understand how someone feels is to spend time with them and learn. So, Devon and I are accelerating our engagements through Meetups and our reach via social media.

Also, we discuss the use cases and how critical whiteboards are in hospitals and nuclear plants. 

In Week 2 of building the Whiteboard Skills business, Devon Wayt and I dig into the challenges we faced while balancing the inner conflict, external commitments, and the difficulty of building a side business.  

• Personal challenges with a new baby, the death of a member, and the loss of a family pet
• Finding time to focus on the business
• Social media balance and the right application of the platform
• Social media management systems
• Web site development
• Development of a gift
• 1,000 email addresses

In this episode, we breakdown the importance of learning whiteboard skills and how the whiteboard plays a critical role in almost every profession.  Also, we expose the process of starting the Common Understanding business and our brand, WhiteBoard Skills.  Please join us as we discuss each step and the problems we encounter along the way. 

In this episode we discuss:

• How we established the basics of the business
• Finding a side-hustle
• Creating an S-Corp in CA using LegalZoom
• Securing a corporate bank account
• Client personas
• Our passion for whiteboard and why they are so important to communications and innovation

In this podcast, we discuss how lifting your self-worth changes eight major areas of your life, for the better! 

1. Relationships
2. Career or Vocation
3. Learning
4. Health
5. Charity
6. Spirituality
7. Recreation
8. Money

By creating higher levels of self-worth, you set a new upper and lower limit of the quality of your life.
