Of course you know that you must take action to accomplish your vision and goals, but have you ever noticed the psychological distance to your goals? The psychological distance is the internal resistance you experience when considering your goals or what you want to accomplish. When you dissolve the psychological distance, the tactical distance (the actions required) become much easier, and require less intensity. Make the psychological distance go away, and your desired outcomes become inevitable. 

The primary elements of this episode are:

1. The tactical distance to your vision/goals is about 5% of the total distance to your vision/goals, while the psychological distance is the remaining 95%. 
2. Hustle whores and grind gurus tell you to work harder (on the 5%) while the smarter way of approaching accomplishing anything is to work just as hard or harder on closing the psychological distance by letting go of all doubt and internal resistance to your goals. 
3. The letting go process is noticing any stories you're holding about why you can't have what you want now, and watching them dissolve in your mind. This also releases emotion which was buried underneath the story.
4. Releasing internal resistance makes all action more intense and effective.

In my life, whenever I've gone all-in on anything, as in total commitment, I've succeeded. Whenever I withhold my full commitment, I never get the results I desire. Commitment is an energy which allows you to focus and perform on the present moment, and the task at hand. Commitment creates luck, and desiring an outcome while not being fully committed is not actually being committed at all to the outcome. This includes professionally, financially, relationshionally, with health, or any other desired outcome. Go all-in and you'll crush it. 

The primary elements of this episode are:

1. Commitment means 100% committed. 99% commitment equals 0% committed. You're either committed or not. There is no middle ground. 
2. In my life I might say I want to be healthy and fit, but eat and drink crap. That is not being committed to being healthy and fit, but committed to eating and drinking crap. Just be honest about what you're committed to and go all-in.
3. Commitment creates a high level of certainty to a specific outcome. When you're committed you eliminate anything that interferes with that outcome. When you're not committed, you allow excuses and distractions to show up to interfere with your stated objective.

When you get clear on what you want in your life, you'll see that life begins to line things up so that you get what you want. When you choose your destiny and go all in, you'll see that you've always had the power to create the life of your dreams and move the needle on every circumstance in your life. This takes clarity, action, and commitment. Choose to have it all. 

The primary elements of this episode are:

1. In episode 100, my wife Angie said that when I decided to begin to live life on my terms, that's the first time she realized I had a backbone, and that's when she decided to opt into my dream. When you get clear about what you want and choose to create it, the right people opt in and the right people opt out. 
2. Clarity is a creative force, and life begins to reorganize itself to help you live your dreams. When you take inspired action and commit, you'll create anything you want. 
3. Grab my free Choose Your Destiny mini course to see my vision and create your own. Attend my Choose Your Destiny Vision Intensive on September 1-2, 2023 in St. Louis to hit the gas on creating a life that you get excited to wake up to everyday.  Links below.

I didn't have to think hard at all about how I wanted to celebrate episode 100 of this podcast. If you've listened to other episodes you've heard me talk about my wife, Angie Kitko, and how we went from an abusive relationship to an absolutely powerful bond! In this episode Angie and I discuss the pain of our past relationship, and we also discuss the absolute magic of our commitment, connection, friendship, and the rebirth of our love affair. It's a privilege and honor to introduce Angie to world, and I can't think of any better way to celebrate this awesome milestone. 

To everyone who have supported this podcast, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The primary elements of this episode are:

1. The traditional relationship is based on unhealthy expectations of each other, and is full of manipulation, self-centeredness, and codependency. Angie has labeled these types of relationships manipulationships, not relationships.
2. To begin to heal our marriage, Angie and I had to go to our neutral corners, heal our own unhealed trauma and pain, and only then could we form something powerful - right out of a fairy tale. 
3. Our connection and bond now is based on trust, integrity, inspiring each other, and helping each other savor life in the perfect way for the individual.
4. Each of our "perfect" ways look much different, so we must give up trying to get the other to be who we want them to be. We must engage our own dream, and then help the other engage their own dream.

Stress is not linked to success. Sure, there are plenty of individuals who succeed at very high levels and endure massive amounts of success, but that doesn't need to be the case. When we delink them in our belief system and manage both separately, we can create exceptional results without destroying ourselves. Stress is a sign that you are not engaging and managing your nervous system in a way that allows you to experience life from a place of creation instead of survival. 

The primary elements of this episode are:

1. Stress and success can be managed uniquely. This takes first understanding that we need to tend to them both differently at the same time. 
2. Our sympathetic nervous system is responsible for flooding our bodies with cortisol, adrenaline, and norepinephrine when danger shows up in our lives, but most people become addicted to these chemicals because our sympathetic nervous system never shuts off. This happens because of the environment and the abundance of stimulus in today's society. 
3. When we allow ourselves to see a new future for ourselves and to feel like we are currently living in those circumstances, we can reengage and turn up the volume of our parasympathetic nervous system so that we can experience calm, peace, and internal harmony. This is when we can be most powerful in creating even higher level results.

Most people are running hot. Maybe they don't own their calendar and schedule and are a slave to someone else's expectations of their time, maybe they run thin financially, maybe they make poor health choices most days, or maybe they have no relationship capital built up, so they recieve guilt and shame for addressing other priorities. You can have it all, but you must stop running hot. You must create margin in your life and business.

The primary elements of this episode are:

1. I used to run super hot, with very little downtime or replenishment and restoration time. My entire life suffered because I thought running hot was how to become successful. 
2. On a car, the RPM gauge shows you where the car is in the danger zone, and that is where there is the presence of unnecessary stress on the machine. Most people are running well in the red. 
3. Spend time creating margin in your life so that you can breathe. Running hot is only necessary when you're living someone else's dream - not your own. Success without the stress is my goal, everyday.

You are only limited by the way you perceive yourself and the way you perceive life. When you see yourself and life differently, life for you will change. In this first-ever Inner Wealth Global live-stream training, we discuss these among other powerful concepts which - when embraced - will literally change the way you experience life. 

The primary elements of this episode are:

1. You are not your thoughts, emotions, or circumstances, but the perceiver of them. The more distance you put between your real self and your thoughts, emotions, and circumstances, the more powerful life will become for you.
2. You get to choose who you are in each and every second. No one and nothing else gets to decide this for you. 
3. You are only limited by your perception of yourself right now. Change your perception of yourself, and life changes accordingly.
4. The more you think, act, and feel as a future version of yourself, the more you let go of who you’ve been. You never need to wait to be the person you intend to become.
5. You are going to die, everyone you love is going to die, anything you build will crumble, and any legacy you leave will be forgotten. Don’t take anything seriously. If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it all wrong.

In 2016 I hit the reset on my life and started all over from scratch. Up to that point I had lived my life the way everyone else taught and expected of me, and that had caused me to try to be who I wasn't for the sake of pleasing others. I lived my life according to their "shoulds" in life. After I pulled the barrel of the gun out of my mouth I decided to never live according to anyone else's programming and conditioning again, and that's when I designed a life perfectly suited for me, by me. 

The primary elements of this episode are:

1. Between the ages of 0-7, you'll believe anything you're taught about God, money, health, marriage, career, or "how life works." It's not that any of it is true, but because you believe it you'll set out to prove it to be true. 
2. The reason people have different perspectives is because of their programming, conditioning, and experiences. When you don't question what you've learned or seen modeled, you'll repeat it - even if it brings you pain. 
3. When you choose to live a purposeful and intentional life, you get to take inventory of your talents, desires, and the life perfect for you, then set out to create the perfect life for you to serve in the perfect way suited for your natural talents.

I had an interesting discussion with a guy who was only building his business because he thought he was "supposed" to build this business. He signed up for a program that told him how to do it "right." Instead of inquiring what he really wanted, the guru encouraged him to want what the guru is currently building. But the guru conveniently forgot to ask the student  what he really wanted in life and business, and why. Sadly, the guru just encouraged him to follow his approach as the only way. This student  never asked himself the simple questions, "What do I really want and why?" The comparison or coercion trap is a powerful tool to get you out of your authentic path. 

The primary elements of this episode are:

1. There are 8 billion people on the planet, and not everyone wants the same things. I'd even say that if we are all being true to ourselves, we'd all want 8 billion different lifestyles and circumstances. 
2. Humans are creatures of conditioning, and it's easy to succumb to the comparison or coercion traps when goal setting, vision casting, or creating our life and business. 
3. Take time to understand what you really want, and why. If anything you want is based on insecurity, inadequacy, or insignificance, fix those internal conflicts first. Then you'll discover what you really want, and you won't be coerced to want something just because someone else does.

Over the course of 50 years I've felt significant levels of self-esteem, but also there were periods where I felt completely worthless and insignificant. I've realized that self-esteem is our internal compass and will tell us whether being true to ourselves or not. All we need to do is learn to check in with ourselves and we'll discover if we are in alignment with our authentic path or if we've got some adjustments that can be made to get back onto our rightful path. 

The primary elements of this episode are:

1. There are three levels of self-esteem: low self-esteem, inflated self-esteem, and just right self-esteem. Each of these levels is telling us something different. 
2. If you feel insecure, inadequate, or insignificant this is telling you that you aren't on your path, and your self-esteem is low because you are not being enough of yourself in the world. If you excessively secure, adequate, and significant to the point that you feel you are better or more valuable than others, you are off path and you're in a state of excessive self-esteem. 
3. When you feel secure in your life, adequate, and significant it means you are on your authentic path, and feeling equal to others at all times without shrinking or inflating yourself or shrinking or inflating others means your self-esteem is just right. We're all equal in this world, and when you feel that, you're on your path perfectly.
