This was a great conversation I had with the wonderful Rob Dial. Rob is someone who found huge levels of financial success at a young age, growing several multi-million dollar businesses in his 20s. But he's also been hugely dedicated to his own personal growth from a young age, something he also helps many others with now through his MWF Motivation podcast. So I really wanted to get into Rob's head and find out what makes him tick. I wanted to know the mindset, the behaviours and the sheer way of being that enabled Rob to find that combination of financial success and happiness at such a young age. And that's what we talked about in today's podcast. In The Episode, We Talk About...  How Rob dropped out of college and start helping to grow multi-million dollar businesses. How to extract passion and purpose from a seemingly 'bland' job or industry. Why getting a coach at the age of 19 was the best thing Rob ever did. The power of journaling, and how to get into it if you're struggling to make it a habit. Rob's key habits of successful people. How to set goals like a pro and make sure you achieve them. The power of seeing your life as a way to pursue personal growth. What Rob learned about life from having dinner with a billionaire. How being competitive with yourself is a key to success and happiness.

It's the final podcast of 2016, so I thought I would do some kind of 'review episode'. I decided to simply come up with a list of five things that I learned over the year and kick back with a beer to just go through them all. This was all done off the top of my head with just the five points as a rough guide, so excuse some of the mad rambling tangents I may go off in. But I think what I share is pretty powerful nonetheless. So kick back and listen to what I learned about myself, life, business and all kinds of other things in 2016. In the Episode, I Talk About...  The top five things I learned in 2016. How these five things can help you in 2017. Why it's important to just take action before you feel like you're ready. How my relationship with the word 'love' changed in 2016 and improved all areas of my life. The importance of serving yourself first. Getting past the feelings of not feeling worthy and not feeling good enough. And much more.  You can give the episode a listen via the player above.

80: My Year in Review: 5 of the Biggest Things I Learned in 2016

What a wonderful conversation I had with David Ralph here on the podcast this week. He's one of those people who I feel like I just had a genuine connection with straightaway and could have gone on for a good while longer just chatting about all sorts of things. David is the host of the rather popular Join Up Dots podcast where he's grown a pretty large following over the last few years and now teaches others to do the same. But, as with many people, it's not always been smooth sailing. David didn't enter this whole 'online/podcasty/entrepreneurial' world until his mid-40s after climbing up the corporate ladder for many years. So we talk about his story and how he discovered his 'superpower' to share with the rest of the world. In The Episode, We Talk About...  David's story of quitting his corporate boredom to discover something he was passionate about. The struggles David faced once he started his 'solo journey' (and how he overcame them). An exercise for finding out what your super power is and how you can harness it in your business or career. How to give yourself a 'motivation rocket'. Why it's vital to know what you're not good at. The good and the bad of being a 'hustler'. How to get over the fear of judgement. How to get yourself in a position where you can't wait to get back to work. Why following your own path is always the best way. The importance of getting clarity on and working towards your perfect day.

79: How to Harness Your Hidden Super Power in Your Life, Business & Career with David Ralph

Just me, myself and I on the podcast this week as I have a ramble about becoming more disciplined. I really feel like I've managed to become 'more disciplined' in my life over the past few months. Strangely, however, it took me falling out of this discipline through a couple days of travelling and resulting jet lag last week for me to really see how disciplined I had become. When I say 'disciplined', I don't mean it in a hard, military sort of way. For me, being disciplined is simply about getting the shit done that you said you were going to do. Not using willpower to force yourself to do shit you don't want to do, but just following through on your plan. And so I wanted to make today's podcast episode about everything I've noticed while doing this. In The Episode, I Talk About...  How I was stopping myself being disciplined in the past. Why the 'noise' in my life was stopping me moving forward. How to analyse your noise and get rid of noise that doesn't serve you. Why listening to advice and help from everyone is not a good idea. A process for making Facebook a nice place to be, instead of making you feel like crap. How to cut through all the shit others are telling you to do and form your own path towards achieving a goal. The simple way of building a daily/weekly/monthly action plan. The key elements of determining what makes a successful week for you. Why discipline comes through all areas of life.

78: Cutting Out Noise, Taking Back Control & Mastering the Art of Discipline

Tom Corson-Knowles is a complete badass when it comes to helping authors and wannabe authors get their books out there. And he's not just some dude with bits of useful information. He's got the credentials to back it up. With several Amazon bestsellers of his own as well as coaching countless others to reach that feat, he's been there in the trenches and knows exactly what it takes to earn a living from book sales. So it was absolutely fascinating to have him on the show this week. If you've ever thought about maybe writing a book or have written one that you want to get out there in a bigger way, then this episode is an absolute must listen. In The Episode, We Talk About...  Tom's story of how he transitioned into entrepreneurship out of college and published his first book. The power of simply focussing on 'the next step', as opposed to getting too much into goals and visions. Why setting goals for amounts of money is not the way to go. The mindset behind getting your book written. The process of writing, publishing and marketing your own book. The truth about 'writer's block' and how to never have it again. How to switch between left and right brain during your writing process to get your book finished faster. Strategies for going 'Kindle only' as well as self-publishing a physical book. Why it's important to have a 'brand promise' with your book and how to do this for fiction and non-fiction. How to create a structure for creativity and an environment for writing.\ Some absolutely amazing tips and strategies for getting the most out of Amazon and launching your book (even if you have no audience or following).

77: A Complete Guide to Taking Your Book From Vague Idea to Being Bought By Thousands with Tom Corson-Knowles

It's a podcast first this week for me as I welcome the first Norwegian guest onto the show. And what a wonderful conversation it was with the amazing man that is Peter Svenning. Peter helps people and businesses develop leadership, connection and communication skills from a 'heart based' perspective. In fact, his website tag line is "Leadership by Heart," which I love. But he's not just some corporate dude who broke free and started his own leadership business. Peter spent a large part of his younger years living a much more 'eastern lifestyle' as a monk and travelled the world while learning and teaching about the life principles he was discovering. So it was extremely interesting to hear about his story and how he transitioned from the monastic life into being a very successful business owner by spreading his message. In The Episode, We Talk About...  Peter's story of going from living as a monk into successful, heart-based business owner. The biggest lessons Peter learned from his time as a monk that can be applied to 'everyday life'. How to create your own personal spiritual retreat. Peter's five simple steps to create deep relaxation at any time and place. The incredible power of meditating early in the day. How to achieve inner freedom. How to effectively communicate with people from the heart. The five steps to follow for establishing a deep connection with someone in any situation. How to get what you want out of situations without feeling guilty. And much more...  Links  Peter's website Get Peter's new book for just the price of postage: "Be Heard Now: The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication" "Mindfulness in 1-2-3" by Peter Svenning The Bhagavad Gita  It was amazing to speak with Peter and I hope you enjoy our conversation.
