  • 137. Mastering Self-Discipline: Part 1 The real reason why you're not disciplined

    The Business Accelerator Mastermind: Learn more and Join the Waitlist

     

    Do you need to be more self-disciplined?

    What would be different for you if you were more disciplined?


    If you're like many of my students, you may think that if you were just more disciplined then you could achieve [insert ideal state here].

     

    However, in working together, my students are always surprised to learn the real reason behind their discipline problems.

     

    Sneak peak: It has little to do with lack of will, and a lot to do with the old school, outdated, patriarchal way of thinking about self-discipline.

     

    So, in the spirit of January, new beginnings, and a time of the year of high inspiration and motivation, I'm creating a four-part series on mastering self-discipline and using the science of self-discipline to get more done.

     

    Starting with Part 1, where we get super clear on the real reasons why you're not more disciplined.

     

    Once we clear this up, then we jump into all of the science behind self-discipline, and how to use the science of self-discipline and human motivation to really start getting more done in your day, so that you start getting more done in less time, and live a life of purpose without stress and burnout.

    Vision boards are amazing. Let me tell you why. Every time I've created a vision board, I have achieved everything that I put on it. Which is why I love vision boards. However, you might be a skeptic… you might not be a believer (yet). And that's OK. Because on this episode I am reviewing with you the science behind vision boarding, why vision boards are effective and how they work. I'm also walking you through how to create your own vision boards. So that you can achieve your goals, and more importantly, actually live the life you want to live. Enjoy the episode.

  • 131. Cultivating compassion towards your ego to get more in life

    The Business Accelerator Mastermind: Learn more and Join the Waitlist

     

    Your inner critic, your internal judge, your inner mean girl are all different ways to refer to one thing, The Ego.

     

    No matter what you call it, the ego is and will always be part of you.

     

    Some ancient traditions have ceremonies to kill the ego, but even in those traditions there's an acknowledgement that the ego never truly dies.

     

    Since the ego is and will always be a part of who you are, it's important to understand why it develops, why it get's loud at  certain times, and how you can befriend it to be more effective in all that you do.

  • 130. The not enough syndrome: how to break free and achieve more

    The Business Accelerator Mastermind: Learn more and Join the Waitlist

     

    Did you know that when you tell yourself you're not working hard enough, that you're not successful enough, not answering emails fast enough, not smart enough, or any other thing you're not doing enough of… it's actually slowing you down and making you LESS productive and less effective.

     

    Most people think that telling themselves that they're not enough will motivate them to do more and to do it better or faster. But, the opposite is true.

     

    In this episode I'll break down the "not-enough" conundrum, how it's actually slowing you down, and what you can do to break free from this and start creating results you want in life.
