Are you motivated to do your best? Do you need to get motivated to do more? It has been a WILD 5 years podcasting for you. It all started with Episode 1 published on March 4th, 2011. Here is number 215! This isn’t the kind of motivation you were fed in high school. No “rah-rah” “let’s go get em” here. No, we’re talking about something much, MUCH more. This is your legacy. This is your life-purpose. This is the stuff of which you’re made. If this is your first episode of the podcast, get ready to think for a little bit. If you’ve been here all along, let’s get you some new questions to ask, ok??? In this episode, you'll learn… Did you hear what’s happening on May 2nd, 2016? There’s a very specific question to ask, if you’re going to achieve your life-goals. The people around you CAN influence what you do (and don’t) do. You need to write some things down. Get a pen and paper. This is the 4th to the last episode of this podcast! Well, in the comment area below you can let us know what YOU think of t

If you need a mentor, are you working on it? If you have a mentor, is it working? Thank you for listening to this episode of the podcast. Here is number 214! The second stage of Momentum - as we write about it in the book www.GetMomentum.com/book - is all about finding a mentor (or more than one) to help you navigate the next 60 months of your life and your work. Think about who you’re going to be, where you’re going to go, and what you’ll have to do. Identify the people who can help you, and reach out them. In this episode, you'll learn… Do you know the difference between a mentor and a coach? There’s a HUGE announcement coming next month. If you’re listening to this on 3/31, Jason’s giving his TEDx speech in Birmingham. There’s a very good reason to think in terms of 5 years out. You can achieve more, think bigger, and work smarter with a mentor! Ok, this is the 5th to the last episode of this podcast. So, now is the time to leave a question, an idea, a prompt below, so we know what YOU think of th

Are you running behind? On time? Or ahead?? Is the “too much to do” stressing you out? Every 2 weeks, can listen to another episode of the podcast. Here is number 213! Have you ever thought about what would be like if you were just a little bit ahead? I mean, if you were working even a little bit today on something that wasn’t due for a week or two, wouldn’t you feel like you were productive? I’ll share with you something we call the “30/30 Rule” and it just might change the way you do everything. If you’re out for a walk, listen carefully. And, if you’re sitting at a desk, grab a pen and paper, you’ll get some ideas, if you’re ready! In this episode, you'll learn… Do you know Kevin Plank, the CEO of Under Armour? I’ve learned a lot from him. There is a little trick I can give you that will make you super-productive. Getting things done doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone. There’s a WHOLE chapter in my next book on Milestones. There’s a way your company can get $45,000 work of value by listening t

If you want change, will you change? What happens when you look for success? Every 2 weeks, we release another episode of the podcast. Here is number 212! The 4th Stage of Momentum that we write about in the book Get Momentum is all about monitoring. You see, over years of working with extremely driven AND successful people, we know something about you: You’re rarely satisfied. That is, you achieve something - a goal, a project, an outcome - and you immediately move on to the next one. In this episode of the podcast, I want to share with you something important about how the brain works, how your colleagues get along, and what you can do to be a better version of yourself. Whether you’re a leader, employee, entrepreneur or intern…the ideas in this podcast will help you. When you monitor - when you have a dashboard you can check in with - you make better decisions. And, you make those better decisions sooner! In this episode, you'll learn… Do you know how to engage people in/with what they’re doing?

Is the “Future You” looking forward to meeting you? What can you see, when you see your future? Every 2 weeks we upload an episode of the podcast to the World Wide Web. Here’s episode 211! The fifth stage of Momentum, we call: Modify. When I looked that word up in the dictionary, I knew how important it was to what you’re working on. Ready? Here’s the definition: “make partial or minor changes to (something), typically so as to improve it or to make it less extreme.” So, as you think about what YOU need to be doing differently, are you willing to make a “partial” change? You see, one of the things we hear from people who think they’re interested in Get Momentum is that they don’t have time to commit to the program AND that they need to make changes in less than a year. Well, the Get Momentum Leadership Academy requires a minimum of 2 hours of study a month, and the program takes a year to complete. Does anyone else se the irony? It’s as if those big changes you need to have made a year from now will som

Think you don’t have meetings? Do you talk, agree, and do things? So far this year, I’ve recorded an episode of the podcast every two weeks for you. Here is number 210! Last month, Get Momentum members around the world spent 31 days studying how they prepare for, attend, lead and follow up with meetings. Over and over again, leaders wrote to Jodi and I saying things like, “I had NO idea just how many meetings I actually attend each week!” Here is what one member from Belgium wrote: It's very funny: when I had my session with Jodi this month I told her that this module was not so related to my business and that I don't have the meetings that bigger companies have. But she gave me a whole different perspective on the concept "meetings" and since then, I've been meeting with more people than ever, enjoying every one of them. What attracts me most in those informal meetings is the amount of information we exchange over a nice conversation in hip and energizing places. Just to say that it has been a more th

Did you set “new year’s” resolutions? Want to achieve more, faster??? Every 2 weeks now, I’ve been recording a podcast for you. Here is number 209! Today, people work just as much with “knowledge” as they do “skill.” What you know will surely make a difference to your life, and your career. However, it is no longer JUST what you know; it’s who. In this episode, you'll learn… Want to know what makes a great mentor? That within 60 months you can be much, much better. How to use your journal to build your team.

Are you waiting for permission before you start working on something important? Are you hoping someone tells you how to do, what you want to do? Being effective and efficient…Is that interesting to you? Of course it is, why else would you listen to a podcast titled, Your Best Just Got Better? But, being productive…That’s not your end goal is it? You don’t want to just get things done, do you? No, there is greatness, there is power, there is contribution, there is LEGACY inside you that demands to be unleashed. Given away to your clients, your friends, your family, your lover. Don’t just hope you magically get there…Start seeing it. And, don’t just take my word for it... "The mind is like a fertile garden," Bruce Lee said. "It will grow anything you wish to plant—beautiful flowers or weeds. And so it is with successful, healthy thoughts or with negative ones that will, like weeds, strangle and crowd the others. Do not allow negative thoughts to enter your mind for they are the weeds that strangle confidence

Have you ever been ashamed of how much you have? Do you play it on the “down-low” how much more you want? A teacher I’ve learned a LOT from was Peter Drucker. Mind you, I never met him. But, I am mentored by his Protege Ms. Frances Hesselbein. Recently, I read this quote he wrote: “Those who perform love what they’re doing.” It’s my opinion that you weren’t put here on the planet to ever have time to “do nothing.” No, not for people like you and I. The whole reason you’d listen to a podcast called Your Best Just Got Better is, in fact, so you can figure out how to do MORE! In this episode, you'll learn… Do you know the BEST times to acknowledge someone for a job well done? What “Wanting more” has to do with “Being more." How to “extinguish” behavior you want someone to stop. (Especially if that person is you!) Finally, what to do about all the “More” you already have! Please do leave us a question, an idea, a prompt below, so we know what YOU think of this ‘cast. If it’s time to make new habits,

Is there a project you want to get started you keep putting off? Are you frustrated that you STILL don’t have work-life balance? I read recently that Marisa Meyer is really making a statement about the intersection of work-life focus. Writing on her Tumblr, she said: “Since my pregnancy has been healthy and uncomplicated and since this is a unique time in Yahoo’s transformation, I plan to approach the pregnancy and delivery as I did with my son three years ago, taking limited time away and working throughout.” Would you compare your ability to achieve work-life balance with someone who has a net worth of $380MM? Would you be able to do more, be more and have more if you made nearly $1MM a week? I wouldn’t. In fact, if you REALLY want to stress yourself out, compare yourself - what you have, where you are, what you do, how you live - to someone who has different goals, different opportunities, and different realities than you. Stop trying to achieve work-life balance. Instead, get momentum on your most imp
