Many content creators or those thinking to become content creators often feel intimidated by the idea of sharing what they know or have with the rest of the world online. Maybe you want to start a blog or podcast but thinking about the number of people to whom you will be exposing your ideas to... makes you want to give up before you start. In this episode, I talk about one way to overcome this fear by focusing on creating content for an audience of one.
Today, I want to just give you a few words of encouragement. If you have been following this podcast for some time, you more than likely are someone that is also in the process of pursuing life-changing goals. It is not easy. It takes time to get the kind of results you end up being happy with. People around you change. Sometimes making a process that is already difficult... even harder. Trust me, I get it. You are not alone in this. And hopefully, in this episode, I can encourage to maintain focus on what matters most
I believe that progress is the only metric you can use to measure success or how closely you are moving towards succeeding at something. This is why my mantra is to make progress and not excuses. Because without progress there is no way you can possibly succeed at anything. Now before we can begin to measure progress, we must first learn to understand what it is or what it looks like. In this episode we take a look at the two types of progress and the important relationship they have to one another.
In this episode, we pick up from where we left off in the last episode. Listeners share their thoughts, questions, and advice on dealing with challenges while pursuing goals.
In this episode, listeners talk about some of the challenges they face pursuing goals. They offer their advice and share what they learned about overcoming some of these challenges.
If you know me, you know that I'm all for using books as an essential component of your self-development process. It is unwise and quite unproductive to believe that you don't need the knowledge and experience of those who have accomplished the same goals you intend to pursue. They have figured out the obstacles... they have identified key focus points... and they put all that in books. In this podcast episode, I provide a couple of tips on how to get started with books and provide a few book recommendations.
Mastery is the highest level you can ever reach when trying to be good at something. We will be mostly focusing on Mastery as it applies to skills and the pursuit of goals. Making the effort to get better at something eventually opens up opportunities you would never knew existed. Because the process of reaching for mastery is all about going deeper into a skill or industry. Learning more, experiencing more, and eventually "becoming more". We will look at 5 qualities we can work on to help us get to Mastery.
I often talk a lot about the importance of making daily progress towards your goals. In this episode, I describe how I do it using an activity planner. It is a simple tool, yet there are numerous benefits to using them. There is also a link below to a sample activity planner to help you get started.
Human beings are creatures of habit. What we will do today won’t deviate much from what we did yesterday or maybe even the past 5 years. Understanding and appreciating this is key in helping us align ourselves to goals we desire to accomplish. Because it is these habits that produce specific and predictable outcomes. If we change our habits, we can change our outcomes. In this episode, we take a deeper look at repetition and why we should be aware of its impact on the progress we make towards our personal goals.
We should never forget that no matter how we feel about it, change is inevitable. With change comes disruption and new opportunities. It is important to train yourself to see these opportunities. You never know what kind of positive impact they may have on
Every new year we think about pursuing goals that could change our lives for the better. Many of us make resolutions about becoming better or improving some aspect of our lives. However, after making those resolutions and start pursuing goals, many struggl
Sometimes, you just have to go all in. When you don’t give it you're all… it’s very easy to find yourself in an awkward place. For example, you are always unsure of what you should do next. Because you don’t know whether what your pursuing is even worth pu
In this episode, I take a different direction. First, I share a bit of my world up to this point as far as the progress of the self-development blog/podcast is concerned. Then I dive into talking about pursuing a better life in an imperfect world. This is
When it comes to pursuing goals, limiting beliefs can be very destructive for the person trying to change their life for the better. Their very nature is to highlight what you think you cannot do or accomplish. For example, a popular limiting belief is thi
It is natural to want to avoid any type of experience that makes us feel uncomfortable. And the process of pursuing something bigger than you currently are is definitely going to make you feel very uncomfortable.
When I was thinking of doing this podcast, I thought about how many dreamers struggle with identifying who they are or who they would like to become. And it is an important struggle. If you want to change for the better, you must be prepared to abandon the
There is power in repetition. It’s why I keep re-emphasizing points. Especially key points that must be firmly understood and engraved in the minds of any determined to realize their goals.
The nature of the obstacles we are bound to face going down the p
I have talked about this before, but I think it’s worth reinforcing. Mistakes, failures, and obstacles are things you cannot avoid when you decide to pursue goals. You shouldn’t expect yourself to go through a pursuit “cleanly” or unscathed.
What you must
The success we desire to have from what we do is 100% our responsibility. It is wrong to think that we delegate that to anyone else. As long as we initiated the desire to achieve it, we are the only ones that can be most invested in working to attain it.
Nothing about pursuing anything important is easy. There are so many kinds of challenges that come with deciding to do that. Among the more significant challenges, is the issue of people not supporting your decision to pursue that goal you feel is most imp
