8 Steps to Successful Goal Setting It’s time for a Goal-Setting refresher. Goals work like this: 1) State precisely WHAT you want. 2) State WHY you want it. 3) Imagine how you will feel when you reach your goal. 4) Plan the steps you will take. 5) Take continuous action. 6) Measure your progress. 7) Be flexible in your approach.   8) Celebrate and repeat. Success comes to people who set goals. Be one of those people. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Conversation Starters That Make People Like You Today you are going to have opportunities to communicate.   Here’s how to create conversations that connect: 1) Meet folks where they are. Pay attention to how their day is going. Step into their NOW. 2) Establishing something in common. “Wow! Has this day been crazy for you too?” 3) Establish an undeniable truth. “I promise it will get crazier with the holidays coming.”  4) Move toward an idea that everybody can agree with. “Summer is coming fast. We should get ahead of it and do some planning.”   5) Bring a new idea into the conversation. “I have a system that will work for both of us. Do you want to see it?”   You will always get more of what you want when communication moves toward a common goal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Problems With Others? Maybe it's YOU! One of my hobbies is running my Australian Shepard, Levi, in agility competitions.  When people see us run, their first comment is almost always - "I love how your dog knows where to go. How did you teach him to follow the numbers on the course?" I always smile. No. Levi does not follow numbers. He relies on me, his Handler, to tell him where to go. He will go off course and be eliminated if I don't communicate my intention. In the agility world, we say, "Every dog has a Handler problem."  I've noticed the same thing in the human world. If you think you are being tripped up by someone else, double-check to see if they have a Handler problem. Know what you want and where you want to go, and effectively communicate your goals. You will be amazed at how almost everybody will follow the numbers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Do you ever find yourself answering the phone, responding to an email, or posting to Social Media before your brain fully engages? If you’re like me, you can’t count the number of times you put your foot or your fingers in your mouth and regretted it.  So what’s the fix? I worked with a client a few minutes ago in the same situation, and his response was brilliant! STOP.  He stopped in his tracks and didn’t respond at all. THINK. He pondered how he felt and why he was about to make a mistake. What was driving it? THINK AGAIN. As part of his process, he wrote down his feelings, what action he should take, and when he would take it. ACT. The entire process took place within a few minutes. He slept on it and responded with a short email the next day. The result was no added drama and continued positive momentum. I like to think of this as a ‘Recipe For Me’ that I create in advance and utilize for consistent results. Once I know something works, I must check my recipe, and life is good.

Do you wish you could find a mentor to help you? Every mentor I’ve ever had made sure that I possessed three characteristics for success before they agreed to work with me. Would you pass their test? 1) Do you have a burning desire to achieve your goals? 2) Are you a coachable person and prepared to accept the wisdom and guidance of others? 3) Are you willing to undertake all actions to achieve your success? If the shoe were on the other foot, you would want those traits in someone asking for your help - right? Talk your walk. Walk your talk. That’s a great life.

Over the years, I have produced over 12,000 podcasts, and every one began with the written word. Even though that makes my mouth and fingers my most exercised body parts, it has also given me many opportunities to learn to keep my words flowing. Like most people, you have sat before a blank screen, praying for inspiration. It could be writer's block, procrastination, or maybe you stayed up late watching Netflix. In any case, there's a simple solution to always having a starting point. Any project I need to wrap my head around begins by capturing the ideas that flow into my mind throughout the day. Even turning the radio off on a 20-minute drive can provide a treasure-trove of useable nuggets.  Next, I tuck those ideas away safely without organizing, editing, or re-writing. I just grab the thoughts, jot a note or record a memo, put them away, and let them simmer. When I'm ready to get to work, I take 15 minutes the day before to review my creative genius list, toss out what is not relevant, create a simple out

It happens to all of us. We're going about our day, hot on the trail of checking off items on our never-ending To-Do list. Then, we discover that we didn't get everything done before time ran out.  When my son entered the workforce, we often found time to catch up on weekends. He was trying to navigate the business world while balancing his life. He had an exceptionally fast-paced job and had become a productivity ninja. He was proud of his color-coded To-Do list and calendar, but he had a problem - "Dad, no matter how organized I am, I still can't finish everything. I write everything down, and I'm working through it, and I still run out of time. What am I not doing right?" My first thought was how happy I was that he had the clarity to look beyond the obvious solution. Then, I had a few questions - You say you have accounted for everything. How much time did you spend eating lunch or running down the coffee shop today? How often did you visit the restroom, and how long did it take? How much time did you spe

A client asked me, "What do you pay attention to most of the day to keep yourself on track?"  I said,  "I pay attention to MY agenda first. When I cross paths with the agendas of others, it doesn't have to be my way or the highway, but I must continue to live the life I desire and get the results I want without delay and distraction. The truth is, I want us both to do that." As long as you know what you want in life, getting it is a matter of moving forward daily and staying on track. Since every person you meet is on their path, you will always find yourself with the opportunity to willingly or unwillingly be pulled into their agenda. If you do, you detour yourself from your dreams. Take control of your agenda before somebody does it for you.  Get the Daily Boost Commercial-Free at https://dailyboostpremium.com.

If you spend any time listening to me, it won’t take long before you hear me screaming from the top of the mountains to ignore the agenda and propaganda-filled world we live in and focus on yourself.  Here’s the truth... Nobody is thinking about you and what you do. That means you need to pay attention to yourself because everybody else is busy with themselves. Some folks find that way of thinking difficult because society makes you believe you must do what everybody else does to be successful. But lets think about that for a minute. Is everybody more successful than you, or is everybody in the same boat? If you are being honest, you know the answer.  So, who is more successful than you? It’s those crazy people that are out in front leading the masses. You know, the ones who paid attention to what they wanted, ignored what others thought, took action, and convinced everybody else to support them on their mission. Here’s another truth… Like they say, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me!” But never forget, when you t

I have an admission.  I'm a bit lazy. Yes, I also like to work harder than most people. Still, I'm lazy when doing things I don't want to be doing. It's been said that when you do what you love, you will never work another day. Frankly, I've found it to be quite the opposite. I love what I do, but it is challenging and takes time and effort.  Still, I'm lazy. I want everything to be easy, and I want it now. I don't think I'm different than anybody else. I'm lazy. Yes, I'm driven. I'm also lazy. I think I made my point. And if you know me well, you may think he's not THAT lazy.  Oh yes, I am… While it may take a long time to master the skill required to make things easy for myself, I'm only willing to go through the hard work if it allows me to be lazy - someday. And do you know what the coolest thing is about being lazy? Not only does your initial hard work allows you to be lazy, it makes what you do look easy to others. Too bad for them. I guess they were sleeping or binging Netflix when you were working so

When I was a baby DJ in broadcast school, I spent a lot of time learning the rules of journalism. While that subject fills books, almost everything we needed to know was - Who? What? When? Where? Why? If you know that information, you can tell a complete story. Years later, I re-arranged the formula for personal growth. Every time I set goals and consider a different direction, I ask - What? Why? When? Where? Who?  Occasionally I need to ask HOW I will accomplish my goal - but that usually takes care of itself. Get the Daily Boost Commercial-Free at https://dailyboostpremium.com.
