Are you tired of allowing other people to make decisions for you? Do you often feel pressured by your environment to choose to take action? Maybe you feel pressured by society to opt for a specific career path that you’re not passionate about. Or maybe you have allowed your family to dictate what makes YOU happy in life. The truth is, though, oftentimes we don’t give ourselves enough credit for taking action. Sure, there are outside influences that can be the vehicle in which you get to your destination, but ultimately the choice is yours. 

This week, I am sharing with you the three-step-process to never be pressured or persuaded in your decision making again. My wish with this episode is that you start taking ownership of your life and start implementing your power of choice. Other people can’t live your life for you so it’s time to stop allowing them the freedom to make decisions for you. It’s time to breathe life and catch fire to what it is that you have been called to fulfill.

Recently in my meditation and contemplation, I’ve really felt the need to share part of my story on the show. I’ve had the idea for someone to interview me on the show for a while now. But I really wanted to make sure that whoever came on the show to interview me, that challenges me to be a better person. And what better person to have asked me questions about my past and my journey than Rick Alexander. Not only has he been a former guest on the show in its early release, but Rick has also been one of the people in my life whom I deeply respect and resonate with. 

This week, Rick Alexander, host of Morning Coffee, sits down and asks me to share parts of my journey that I haven’t shared on the show before. This special episode is one that is very near and dear to me as I get 100% honest and transparent about where I am at in life and how I have gotten to this place of acceptance and gratitude. Tune in to hear about my transformation and the pivotal moments in my life that helped shape who I am today.

Did you know that many of our decisions are operated out of fear? What opportunities we say yes to and others we say no to typically depend on how we allow outside forces to influence our decisions. But whether you recognize those fears or not, you are still the only person that is in control over your life. It is important that we start giving credit where credit is due. You are in control. Don’t let what happens to you decide what you do with the circumstances that you have been given. 

This week on Purpose Chasers, as promised I am sharing part two of the power of choice. Specifically, I am talking about the victim’s response to choice and how people make decisions out of fear. I am sharing with you what leads to decision making, or lack thereof, and how we can show up in our own lives. Ultimately, nobody can make the decision for us. Oftentimes we give outside influences too much credit for our decisions. But, remember, you have the power to choose the life that you want to live. Don’t allow outside influences to dictate how you show up for yourself. 

Topics Discussed:

• Recognizing pressure and persuasion as self-limiting beliefs 
• Why saying yes to everyone is operating out of a scarcity mindset
• The difference between extending gratitude and taking credit for your actions
• How God, the Universe, Therapy, and Coaches can only carry you so far

Have you ever wondered why so many people drop out of coaching courses? Or maybe you’ve asked yourself why people stop showing up for themselves in the middle of transformational masterminds? It’s not the lack of resources that stops people from achieving their goals. Want to know the real reason why people give up? They allow their self-limiting beliefs to dictate their actions. -

This week, I am talking with Master Coach, Founder of My Recovery Toolkit, and host of the Addiction Unlimited podcast, Angela Pugh. We are discussing how commitment is the difference between those who give up half-way and those who achieve their goals. Angela shares with us her own self-limiting beliefs and how she has continued to invest in herself to ensure success in her own life. Purpose Chasers, get ready as we dive into what it truly means to invest in yourself.

Building a community based on the philosophy of giving creates an atmosphere in which everyone receives. 

Most Masterminds are founded and operating from a mindset of scarcity.  Each member’s ego is fighting for praise, striving to look better than other members, and gain recognition from the Mastermind facilitators.

The Purpose & Movement Mastermind is designed for individuals that want to lead from their hearts and reap the rewards of giving. We seek to nurture an environment in which everyone supports, encourages, and challenges each other to grow and excel at and/or find their calling. 

We are excited to #give, not scared to #ask, or #celebrate our community #wins. When one member #wins we all WIN. When we pull each other up we all reach the sky.

What if you didn’t have to live a life that someone else chose for you? Don’t like your current career choices? Aren’t happy with where you’re currently at in life? The truth is, you have the complete power to decide right this very moment how the trajectory of the rest of your life is going to look like. While we all have the power of choice, many individuals only want someone else to make their decisions for them. 

This week, I am sharing the incredible power of choice and why we are capable of saying no. Let’s face it, not every opportunity is a great opportunity. Sometimes we have to say no to things that aren’t in our best interest. However, many of us get stuck in a routine that we feel like we have to make decisions in order to make other people happy. But what if I told you that you can, in fact, take back ownership over your life right this very moment? How would you choose to live the rest of your life?

Topics Discussed:

• Why people make the wrong decisions in their life
• How to take ownership over your own life choices
• Why you shouldn’t give people the opportunity to choose for you
• The power in saying no to things that don’t serve you

Do you know what your true purpose in life really is? Have you ever felt like your purpose has shifted over time? The truth is, most individuals *think* they have an idea of what they were called to do. However, very few individuals have actually stepped into their calling. Everyone wants a purpose, but how many people actually find it?

This week, I am sharing with you why you will never find your purpose by chasing a specific destination point. Many times we think that we will find our purpose if we could just hit a specific following or once we accomplish our goals, that’s when we’ve made it. We view success and purpose through a filter of self-limiting beliefs. However, what if I told you that it’s less about a destination and more about a transformational journey? 

Topics Discussed:

• Shifting away from the idea that purpose is a physical location
• Identifying self-limiting beliefs that are holding you back 
• How to take actionable steps that help guide you into finding your true purpose

They say you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with—if you wrote those names down today, would you be satisfied with the result? In this episode, Mark sits down with serial entrepreneur, life strategist, and best-selling author Cathy Christen to discuss why your sphere of influence is the ultimate predictor of your success.

Cathy shares the definitive moment that shifted her trajectory and explains why "getting comfortable with being uncomfortable" is a non-negotiable for anyone chasing a big life. From identifying what actually brings you joy to the necessity of investing in your own personal development, this conversation is a wake-up call to take radical ownership of your environment and your future.

Key Takeaways:

• The Average of Five: How to audit your current circle and why you must intentionally seek out a higher-level sphere of influence.

• Investing in the Asset: Why self-investment is the highest-returning strategy for any entrepreneur or leader.

• Choosing the Lesson: How to stop being a victim of your circumstances and start consciously learning from your past life lessons.
