We're all winging it, so why do you think you're the only one who is?

You've got this - every bit as much as anyone else has; me included.

And that little voice that keeps telling you that you haven't?

It's lying to you.

So, what are you waiting for?

Let's go!

You know how, when you're having a bad day, and everything and everyone around you just seem to suck?

When all you want is for someone to put their arm around your shoulder and sympathise?

Well - you may want that, but it's the last thing you need!

That's when you need someone to step in and hold you to a higher standard.

It's hard to believe, but we're already at episode 100!

I wanted to mark the occasion by making this really special for you - and I've done just that.

I secured and interview with a guy who is not only just about the most successful person I know (and I mean 'successful' in just about every sense of the word) but one of the most knowledgeable and most likable, too.

On top of all that, he has been incredibly generous with his time, as you will find out when you listen to over an hour of solid gold content.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my absolute pleasure and privilege to give you...

...An Interview with Tony Rush.

Oh - and here's a link to Tony's pet project he talks about in a later segment of our conversation https://makingfriendswithmoney.com/homepage

Check it out - that's not an affiliate link - I'm just delighted to recommend this great project.

Did you ever get that feeling you're being watched?

Well, I have news for you.

The chances are very high that you are.

And, no, this is not some crazy conspiracy theory - it's a fact.

Maybe it's time to start acting like someone else is paying attention.

Remember the other day, when we talked about never stopping learning?

Well, over the last 24 hours I learned a couple of things that changed my way of thinking...

...one from an expected source, and one entirely unexpected!

Get ready to be judged!

As soon as you start on your path of living your life on purpose, people who have known you for years are going to notice the difference in you - and it's likely to make them feel uncomfortable.

And that's a good thing...

It's been said many times before - education is incredibly expensive, but it's nowhere near as expensive as ignorance.

Always make sure you end each day knowing at least one thing of value more than you did yesterday.

It doesn't have to be anything difficult - but it must be of value.

And, if you've had to pay for it, even better, because that way you'll afford it even more value.

Sometimes, we get told not to take ourselves so seriously - and, to an extent, I'd agree with that.

But, sometimes, I'd say we don't take ourselves seriously enough - particularly when it comes to our own ideas, our own goals and our own dreams.

So, seriously, it's time you took yourself - and your thoughts, ideas, dreams, and goals, way more seriously.

Because, if you don't, no-one else will, either.

A very different podcast today.

No music, no usual opening or close.

Just memories of a terrible event 50 years ago today - and a painful admission of something I said.

There's still a positive message in there, though - you just have to find it.

In this episode, I read from a page on the BBC News website and promise to give the link, so here it is: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-150d11df-c541-44a9-9332-560a19828c47

No music today, so no music credit.

Don't laugh - but I get some of the best advice and motivation from stand-up comedians!

Why?

Because I believe stand-up comedians are the embodiment of what it takes to step away from the norm, to live life on your own terms, and to have the confidence to trust in yourself and what you have to give.

And to prove it, in today's podcast, I talk about an interview with a young stand-up - and I provide a link to that interview, too.

Check it out - I think you'll like it :)
