A New Direction

Taking a Break from Burn Out Work burn out is real. So often employers dismiss it and treat it as a weakness in the employee. But nothing could be further from the truth. Let me ask you this question, would you want to have a surgery from a doctor who is exhausted mentally, emotionally or physically? Of course not. Some professions actually do recognize the need to protect their employees from burn out, and offer sabbaticals. But not every profession does this practice. The fact is at some point in our career we will feel exhausted. The stress of life and your career has finally come to a pinnacle. Here comes burn out. You believe you can't quit, but at the same time you don't have the same effectiveness or efficiency to do your job. Burn out is looming, what do you do? On this episode of A New Direction, marketing executive and entrepreneur and executive coach Laura Nguyen joins us to talk about how to take a break from your burn-out, save your life, and still have a career. Laura Nguyen's book, "Career Break Compass: Navigating Your Path to a Balanced Life Through Intentional Time Off" comes out November 12th. The book is so insightful, and full of the research that Laura Nguyen has conducted.  If you ever thought that "burn out" wasn't real, or only for the weak...think again. Career Break Compass takes us on a journey to understand what burn out really is, the symptoms, and how we respond to it. Laura then takes us further along by helping us understand that we are not helpless, we have choices, they may be tough choices, but we can take a break. Career Break Compass gives us the step-by-step process to negotiate a break from work, how to plan your break, structuring your break and getting back to work after the break. This is one of those books that if you are struggling with burn out will help you get to the other side.  Truly a must lead for those struggling and for leaders for prevention.

5 Conversations That Will Change You We all say, "communication is important." The problem is, we still do not communicate all that effectively. If we did, our personal and professional relationships would be so much more effective and efficient. What is the biggest problem with our communication?  It is ourselves. We either do not have the right conversations, do not focus on the right part of the conversations, or we will not have the hard or difficult conversations. What is more we are often times hypocritical.  We think one thing and say another.  We make judgements without full knowledge.  We make assumptions about the other person. When you think about the conversations you have at home or at work, your thoughts are often not matching your words. You are not saying what you really mean... And hence a conversation was had, but there are no results. And our conversations should bring both alignment and change. How do we change that? Fortunately for all of us, Best Selling Author Douglas Squirrel joins us on A New Direction to talk help us with the 5 Conversations we need to have for real change. From his book "Agile Conversations". Douglas Squirrel's book, "Agile Conversations: Transform Your Conversations, Transform Your Culture" is absolutely one of the best books on conversation you will read. Agile Conversations is not for the faint of heart.  In fact, I will tell you this book is going to require you to do work.  And the work starts with you.  It is emotional work.  And it is not easy. This book lays out a complete and comprehensive strategy that if you will follow it, practice it, and continue to practice will change every conversation you have both personally and professionally.

Can Your Business Run without You? As I am writing this, I had just finished talking to an entrepreneur/business owner who said, "I've got too much on me... And only I can do it." So often, the very thing that they created for freedom from having to work for someone else becomes the very thing the imprisons you. Because you have become the very center of your business, everything revolves around you. It's all about you. And when that happens, you don't have a business to sell, because it can't run without you. You come to realize that you don't run your business, it runs you. You are no longer working on the business because you're working in it. There must be an answer to grow and be able to expand your business without being so dependent on you. And that is where Best-selling author and U.S. Marine Richard Walsh comes in on this episode of A New Direction for Part 2 of "Escape from Owner's Prison". Richard Walsh book "Escape the Owner's Prison" is a no nonsense read that gets right to the point of practical guidance to help you have a business that does not feel like a prison from the rest of your life. Escape the Owner's Prison is straight talk about hiring, firing, marketing, and more.  However, the point of the book is being able to create the margins you need to be successful in business and have a life. The book takes you through stages of growth and what you need to know to at every stage, so that you don't lose yourself in the prison of your own business.

Leading Change in Your Business or Organization Change is inevitable. It's one of the guarantees we have in life. Even in our businesses and organizations, we must deal with change. The fact is no one likes change. We have a built-in mechanism to resist it. On some level, change violates our sense of comfort and freedom. If you are in leadership, what can you do to help make the change in your organization smoother? How can you help make change not so overwhelming? In this episode of A New Direction Best-Selling author Mindy Vail joins us to talk about her groundbreaking book on leading change..."The Mindshift Effect". Get your pen and pencils out and get ready to take notes it's going to be a practical lesson in leading change. Mindy Vail's book, "The MindShift Effect: Where Change Management is Redefined and Leadership is Refined" is a practical guide and toolkit for leading change in any organization of any size. Mindy leads in the Introduction of the book by explaining that to this point much of the work on Leading and Managing Change is very academic and there is a need to understand these concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. She accomplishes this brilliantly in The Mindshift Effect, as she takes concepts and theories and explains them in terms that will help any leader at any level be able to better manage the change in the organization. The fact is that change is inevitable, and you as a leader need to deal with change, but your people will be resistant to change because it is what our brain naturally does.  Hence, overcoming that for your organization becomes the challenge. Mindy Vail, gives you specific ideas and tools that you can use that help you be a more transparent and authentic leader that will help your people adjust to change more quickly. The Mindshift Effect one of those books you will want to keep on your bookshelf and refer to time and time again.  The information is invaluable and what is more you will be able to use it immediately.

Owners Prison: 3 Levels to Breaking Free If you are an owner of a company there is one thing that is absolutely true.  You are responsible for everything!  There is always a fire.  And there are no days off. But is that the way it should be?  When entrepreneurs start with an idea, they want to change the world, but as the owner of their own company eventually they make themselves a prisoner to their own ideas. And when you are in owners' prison, we shut out the world around us.  Our families are sacrificed.  Our friends are left behind.  And our time is determined by the very thing we own and created. What are we to do?  How can we free ourselves from owners' prison?  Is there any hope for owners' freedom?  The answer is, YES! In this episode of A New Direction, U.S. Marine, Champion Boxer, Black belts, entrepreneur and best-selling author Richard Walsh joins us to tell you his story of losing it all and regaining his freedom. This show is going to be so good.  Listen in and enjoy. Richard Walsh' book, "Escape the Owner Prison: The Contractors new way to scale, regain control and fast track growth while loving life" is a phenomenal guide to helping every entrepreneur start up and get growing. The book comes from the point of view of Richard Walsh' failure and how rebuilt himself as an entrepreneur and owner and yet excel as a husband, and father, and living a life of freedom. Every chapter of this book has something practical for you to think through.  Whether that be how you think about money, how you hire, branding, marketing, your value and worth, and so much more! This book is an outstanding guide to building your business from the ground up, sustaining and developing your exit.

Breaking the Procrastination Habit Let's be honest there are things that you don't want to do, that you know you should do, but don't do. And the reasons are many. You may say, "I don't procrastinate, I never do that in my job"! Okay, well how's that eating right thing going for you? How about those workouts you said you would do...someday. Oh how about not eating sugar, quitting drinking, stopping fast food, going to the doctor, learning a foreign language, an instrument, going to counseling, hiring a coach you need. Yep you put it off...that's procrastination. In this episode of A New Direction #1 International Best-Selling Self-Help Author Scott Allan joins us to help you break the HABIT! Yes, the Habit of Procrastination. Scott Allan's book "Do the Hard Things First: How to Win Over Procrastination and Master the Habit of Doing Difficult Work" is a complete toolkit to overcome procrastination. Do the Hard Things First (DTHTF) starts by taking a deep dive into what procrastination is and why we do it. Scott, wants all of us to start with a clean slate when it comes to this particular challenge, and part of that clean slate is stepping into forgiveness.  Forgiving yourself and your past. Then Scott moves us to 22 steps that you can take to begin the process, and he notes it is a process of getting ourselves in a position where we are doing the more difficult tasks first, rather than those things that have very little pay off. These steps are not all required.  In fact, you can pick as many as you want that work for you. I highly recommend you take a look at his step of the 80/20 Pareto Principle as a way to overcome Procrastination and the Premack Principle and Bundling. If you struggle having the hard conversations, or putting them off, or not dealing with your finances, writing that book you threatened to write or something else.  This book will be a refreshing help for you.

I take a psychological and combine it with my entrepreneurial business experience.  Here are some of the key areas: For Individuals: Personal Development:

How Navy SEALs and Entrepreneurs Bend & Break the Rules for Results! Get a job at any business and the first thing you are told is the rules. "This is how we do things here." As we age we get even more rule oriented. Less dreaming, less risk taking, less creative thinking, and God forbid that you should challenge convention. The fact is we are a rules driven society. The fact is those that disagree with you, want to impose their rules on YOU, so you will do as they say and wish. And yes the military has a set of established rules, but one thing that may surprise you is when you are in "unconventional warfare" units, like the Navy SEALs you have to take a more unconventional, creative approach. And yes, even at times the rules of warfare are completely thrown out the window. How about you? Are you willing to "break" the rules of the game? How about "bend" the rules? Or maybe ignoring them altogether so you can achieve real results? On this episode of A New Direction Retired Navy SEAL Marty Strong joins me to get outside of the norm, disrupt standard thinking and embrace change, and bolster creativity. Marty's book, "Be Different: How Navy SEALs and Entrepreneurs Bend, Break, or Ignore the Rules to Get Results!" is a mindset changer. Marty Strong takes examples of his different roles as a Navy SEAL combat veteran, and instructor, and his different roles as a Business owner and Entrepreneur and trains us how to start thinking differently. And that is the crux of this book.  Think differently, and in order to think differently one must think creatively. To begin thinking creatively Marty Strong gives us the history of how it is against our norm to think differently.  We have been conditioned and trained to live by rules, to be obedient.  Not make waves. However, it is in our wave making creative thinking where we will find the greatest results.  It is where your profits will be.  It is where life takes on purpose and meaning. Marty also cautions however, that when you start thinking differently, and take action on your thinking get ready for "blowback".  Get ready for the "naysayers".  Get ready to be shunned.  You will need a thick skin. At the end of it all when your thinking and action is different it is where you will find your authenticity and success.  I highly recommend this book! Please Thank Our Sponsors of A New Direction by LIKING Their Pages on Social Media EPIC physical therapy, they are my physical therapists and I believe they should be yours too.

Resilience, You, Your Work, and Your Life More and more people in the workforce including executives are starting to realize the toll that wellness, stress, and severe health issues are taking on their jobs and their families. We all feel it, and we need answers.  And that is where this week's book Resilience @ Work comes in. Four people sit around a fire at the beach after taking lessons to learn to surf. These people are as different as you and me and carry with them their different personalities. First there is Hurry, he is a hard worker, always on the go, but as the waves of work get higher and higher, for every step he takes, he gets blown back by the waves 3 steps back. Always trying the next "Get Rich Quick" Scheme, he doesn't have the resilience to take the long view. Then there is Worry, she is filled with anxiety, she feels her life has little meaning and as the bills pile up, she feels she is drowning in the sea of "no hope". Always worried about her appearance in front of others, she lacks the resilience to be her authentic self. Next comes Steady, she reads the waves an knows when to paddle and to ride them. She is agile and adaptable. But she was not always that way because she had to do a ton of work on herself to get her to this point. Finally, there is Ready, the eldest of the four. He found his purpose at a young age, but he neglected it. And after floundering around in the sea of life he finally has come to understand that he had these gifts all along, but simply was not using them. Do any of these four people sound like you? Perhaps there is a piece of all of them that you can relate to. In this episode of A New Direction Best Selling Author Simon T. Bailey takes well written book and assessment to help you discover who you are, and how you can help yourself become and live as the authentic person you created to be that will give you the greatest opportunity for success. Simon T. Bailey's book, "Resilience @ Work: How to Coach Yourself into a Thriving Future" is an insightful book into ourselves through the perspective of 4 people named Hurry, Worry, Steady, and Ready. Each person has their own story and are in different places in life trying to find their authenticity and purpose. The book is a powerful allegory, filled with thought provoking moments that enlighten the reader to ask themselves to be more open to where they are at. As the book journeys on the reader experiences the impact of the fire side discussions between the members of the group and how they each move toward a new direction in their life and future. This book although very different gave me the feel of the best-selling book "Who Moved My Cheese".  I will say that this book dives much deeper. In addition, this book also comes with assessments so that you can get sense of who you are in the story and perhaps where you need to get some help and go to work on you. Great book click here to get your copy of Resilience @ Work by Simon T. Bailey, I highly recommend it! Please reach out and thank the sponsors of A New Direction for their financial support!

Your Energy Determines Your Success Every single day we bring some sort of energy in to our work place, home, and every conversation. Our energy is rarely if ever neutral. In fact, it typically is either destructive, or constructive. And that energy comes at different levels. But...what if we could harness the constructive energy, and understand that even destructive energy could have a place and purpose? And what if we could control the right level of energy that could powerfully influence productivity, change a habit, and increase motivation? Would that interest you? Well on this episode of A New Direction Best-Selling Author Rebecca Ahmed joins to talk about her latest book The Energy of Success. It's so good and you are going to walk away with knowledge and tools you never had before. Rebecca Ahmed's book, "The Energy of Success: Power Up Your Productivity, Transform Your Habits, and Maximize Workplace Motivation" is a fantastic read. The book is an eye opener, as it helps the reader become more self-aware of what type of energy you are bringing into the lives of others, as well as, what level of energy are you using. The fact is your energy is either destructive or constructive.  And depending on your level of constructive energy you may not be as constructive as you could be.  Meaning you have some limitations. As Rebecca Ahmed walks us through the 7 levels of energy from "Safety" to "Climax" we find that we all are in a constant state of growth should we choose to level up, or we can remain stagnant in our energy level and never achieve the level of success we have the potential for. The book is an outstanding read, full of practical guidance on how to level up your energy.  Order your copy  of The Energy of Success right here!

You Need to Find Your Authenticity to Find Purpose The famous sociologist Erving Goffman in his dramaturgical theory suggested that we are all actors on a stage, and we wear masks so people will perceive us the way we want them to perceive us. In today's world and the party that is social media we see more masks as people present themselves behind screens where we often will not see the truth of who they are. And if we cannot be true to who we are, that is, be authentic, then how can we truly live our purpose? The answer is we cannot. So many of us do not live a life with purpose, much less on purpose. We simply go through life as if it is purposely living from one vacation to the next. Isn't it time we lived a life of purpose on purpose? To help us understand how we might do that, we bring in best-selling author Randy Adkins Jr. on this episode of A New Direction. JOIN US Right HERE...and start living your life on purpose. Randy Adkins book, "Produce on Purpose: Experience Life Being the Real You" is a spiritual and deep look at how your authenticity leads to your purpose. At the end of each chapter Randy asks some deeper questions to help you along the journey to discover who you really are and what you are created to do. The big AHA moment is when you realize that you will have a difficulty discovering your purpose if you do not live authentically from your true self. The book uses the analogy of going to a masquerade party where we all where masks and Randy helps us to remove them and set us on the path. Like so many people in today's society we are not comfortable in our own skin.  And thanks to the like of social media, we feel pressure to be someone else than we truly are. Once we live authentically, then pursuing purpose becomes easier, as we are able to look at our God give natural talents, gifts, and abilities that lead to what our mission is and live it intentionally. Truly an inspiring book, and one that truly begs the questions, "what is life really about and what is my place in it"?

Increase Profitability with the Right Marketing Message We all know marketing is important. But is your marketing positively influencing your profitability? Often times in business we just turn things over to a marketing department and we hope for the best. And often times marketing is filled with jargon that sounds great and impressive, but there is no direct causation to profitability.

14 Mindsets and Behaviors to Live Your Most Successful Life We all have different definitions of what a successful life looks like. But there are specific ways of thinking and acting that lead to a more successful life. So why do people not make these changes if that means a more successful life is in store? It really comes down to one thing...a resistance to change. Sadly we have all developed patterns of thinking, believing, and behaving that even though they may not be good for us...we are reluctant to change. In this episode of A New Direction Best-Selling Author Rand Selig joins us again to dig deeper into the changes that we all can make to live our most successful life. From his book "Thriving", this is a show that if you will follow Rand's guidance will lead you to the place you dreamed of being. Rand Selig's book, "Thriving!: How to Create a Healthier, Happier, and More Prosperous Life" is a complete book into living a truly more successful life. Thriving! is in my opinion one of the most comprehensive books on how to live a successful life on the market today. The book covers everything from building your character, to improving your relationship with your self to handling aging and death. The book also covers how to deal with others, how to manage ourselves and others.  Finding purpose and meaning and so much more!
