The Blueprint Chronicles

Prompted by our discussion with Jill Coleman in episode 22, and the necessity of moving forward, we discuss the power of focused action.

Jill Coleman’s a thriving entrepreneur, from her website Jillfit.com she coaches fitness professionals on how to leverage the internet to help their businesses grow and develop; her work is featured in places like SELF Magazine, Shape, and women’s health. She also hosts a podcast with Danny Johnson called “The Best Life”.

Allocating time for the things that matter. Performing a self Time Audit to help allocate our time effectively. Also, a slight format change.

“The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out Who You Are, but seek to determine Who You Want to Be. If you want the best the world has to offer, offer the world your best.” - Neale Donald Walsch

On this episode, I discuss why over-coming discomfort can lead to one's ultimate liberation.

In episode #18, Keith Lockwood discussed how he found his calling by going all in. Ensuring that he lives the life he wants to live, he brought up this notion of trimming the fat. In this bonus, I discuss the need to remove inessentials.

Keith Lockwood had dreams of becoming the next best thing, but what do you do when that dream doesn’t materialize, when your “identity” is not your identity? You regroup, get after it, and move forward with super-human like focused determination.

In episode #16 Nate Chambers talked about his mission to Build Better Humans. Nate’s journey caused him to encounter a few precarious situations. However, sticking to his values kept him on course. In this bonus episode, I discuss having North Stars as a Personal Guidance System.

Nate Chambers started off as a hardware engineer in Ventura California but felt boxed in by the highly structured and unimaginative environment. He eventually gave it all up and learned that living a life based on self-defined principles, while not comfortable or easy, is necessary for the deepest and sincerest sense of fulfillment.

"About 90% of the things in our lives are right and about 10% are wrong. If we want to be happy, all we have to do is to concentrate on the 90% that are right and ignore the 10% that are wrong." Dale Carnegie - How to Stop Worrying and How to Start Living

"Here was a new generation, shouting the old cries, learning the old creeds, through a revery of long days and nights; destined finally to go out into that dirty gray turmoil to follow love and pride; a new generation dedicated more than the last to the fear of poverty and the worship of success; grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken...” F. Scott Fitzgerald|The Side of Paradise
