Hello Get Busy Living listeners. I’ve got bad news and good news. The bad new is This is going to be the final episode of this podcast. The good news is I am starting a new podcast that is live right now called Hope Your Day Doesn’t Suck. I started the Get Busy Living podcast […]

In this episode I talk about the Be, Do, Have model for transforming your life. It’s a model that most people never understand and therefore never do. Instead they work from the Have, Do, Be model. They wish they had more money so they could do something in order to feel a certain emotion. An […]

It’s time to understand where real transformation comes from. It doesn’t come from what you do. Just working harder isn’t going to get you what you want in life. In fact, working longer hours like over 50 hours a week has been show to decrease productivity. Transformation starts on the inside. Everything starts from there. […]

Are you the type of person that worries a lot? It can be easy to worry about many areas of our life. Turn on the TV and the news can easily cause us to worry. We worry about the future, the economy, our family, friends, children, and the list goes on.  Worrying is something we […]

When we’re born we have no beliefs. That’s why when we’re young, we do a lot of things and act more confidently because we have no beliefs about them. Overtime we hear from teacher, parents, friends, relatives and society about what they believe to be true.  We have beliefs that we carry around with us […]

We’re heading into the final quarter of the year and it’s not time yet to start looking to next year to get started on what we want to do. There is still a lot of time left for us and it’s important to take a time to reflect back on this year first.  Have things […]

In our lives we have people who love to give their opinions. We might go to them to ask for advice or we may not even ask them for their opinion. But be careful who you get your advice from. Do they deserve your attention? Should you pay attention? Should you just ignore? I wouldn’t […]

One of the common struggles I hear is about feeling stuck in life. There are many reasons a person feels stuck but it all feels the same. They don’t know what to do. They feel like they’re trapped in an invisible prison. They don’t see a future full of hope. They’re lost, confused, and hopeless.  […]

A couple years ago we began the search for a new home. It turned out to be a long process with a lot of ups and downs. A lot of things happened that we didn’t anticipate at all. In the end, we found the perfect house for us. We’ve been living there for two months […]

Recently I’ve set out to challenge myself in new ways. If I want different results in my life, I need to do different things. One area of my life that needed a serious kick in the butt was with exercise. I focused on exercise because of my belief of the domino effect. I know what […]

If you want a better life, choose better problems to have. Problems will always be a part of our lives. They come and they go but they never go away forever. Don’t make the mistake of wishing that life was free of problems. It’s like wishing to have the perfect life. There is no such […]

How we all would love more time in our life to do more of what we want. I’m not talking about more time to spend on social media or watch TV unless that is a vital part of your life and business. I’m talking about more time to improve your health, learn, spend time meeting […]

Nothing will change in your life until you change what you do on a daily basis. In this episode, I want to help you be more consistent on a daily basis so you can change your life. Commitment is easy to talk about, but it’s harder to do. If you’ve had trouble starting and finishing […]

Today’s episode is a question from a podcast listener who wants to start a small business but couldn’t get over her fear of judgement from others. Her perfectionism also held her back from taking that leap of faith. In this episode, I talk about changing how to see judgement that we fear. The truth is […]

I’m a big fan of having a morning routine that is productive and better prepares me for the day. I know how much better I am feeling overall when I do. I am also not perfect and do fall back into old ways of a morning spent on my iPhone. This is where I found […]

It’s a new year and I’ve been reflecting on how I want 2019 to be for me. What I’ve decided is that I’m going to go bigger in 2019 and I know the way to do that is to challenge myself and get me out of my comfort zone. I want to look back at […]

Over the years I’ve been asked a lot about how to start an online business. I’ve gotten emails from many that are working at a dead end job and would love nothing more than to make money doing something they actually enjoy. I get the struggles. I understand the fear. I’m here to tell you […]

If you’re like most people, you spend more time than you know you should on your phone. It’s the first thing you check in the morning and the last thing you look at night. We spend hours a day staring at our phone and missing out on life. We’re not as present. We always feel […]

Do you fear being judged? Fear of judgement is one of the biggest reasons we are afraid to take action. We’re so worried about what others will think or say about us. We worry so much that we would rather do nothing in order to avoid being judged. However, the dream we have doesn’t go […]

Imagine if you have the worst headache. How do you feel when you go to work? How do you feel when you get home? How do you feel trying to think and come up with ideas? How do you do show in the world every day? It’s hard. We’ve all had headaches so we know […]

I recently asked a question in the Get Busy Living Facebook group about what’s your biggest struggle right now. There was a variety of answers but there was one answer that many gave. They felt stuck in life. This is a common struggle. We don’t know what to do and we’re stuck in our heads […]

This is an episode I almost didn’t want to publish. I got this topic idea for another podcast and it was great cause I got to learn about that more about that person. I thought it would be a fun and different episode. It didn’t mean it was easy to hit publish. I share things […]

When it comes to our jobs, it sometimes can be a tough decision choosing between something you love doing but odd and something that’s boring and normal. Recently I got a email from a member of the Get Busy Living community who was struggling between making a choice. She was in a job that she […]

What got you here won’t get you there is a wake up call for me at this point in the year. I wanted to talk about what that means for me in this episode of the podcast. If you think about where you are in your life right now and the results you have, it’s […]

Do you have a lack of motivation? Have you been procrastinating way too long? In this episode, I talk about how you can overcome that. It’s not by reading more inspirational quotes or just hoping that one day you wake up and have lots of motivation. The way you gain motivation is to start and […]

Are you not getting the outcomes you want in life? Do you find yourself struggling? Are you in bad relationship or around people that constantly lie to you? It’s easy to overlook the real cause of the problem. The problem isn’t a matter of luck. It’s not that you are a failure. It’s not the […]

Let’s say you have an ideas for a business. You’re working at a job that doesn’t fulfill you and you want to create something that will give you more freedom in life and make money from it. You want to be successful. One of the problem a lot of people in that position have is […]

It’s time to shake things up in your life. If you’ve not made the progress you’ve been hoping, then it’s time to revisit what you’re doing. What you may need to do is to start doing different things. If you think about it this way, what you’ve been doing has gotten you to this point […]

Since social media is such a big part of our lives, but if not taken care of it can get out of control. It’s like trying to grow a beautiful garden. When you start, it’s a clean slate. You plant some flowers, but over time weeds get in there. If you don’t spend time pulling […]

Happy New Year! It’s my first time saying that on the podcast. It’s been awhile since I’ve published an episode but I’m looking forward to getting back into podcasting and giving you valuable content to make 2018 your best year. I’ve talked about morning routines before and how it’s important not only to start your […]

We just thinking that if we achieve or change something about us that we’ll finally be happy. It’ll feel like the weight of the world is lifted off our shoulders. Once we reach that goal then we will start to exercise, eat healthy, spend more time with friends and family and travel. Chasing happiness is […]

When I started this podcast, there were already so many self help podcasts. When I started my blog, there were already so many self help blogs. That didn’t matter to me because I wanted to start a podcast and a blog. I wanted a way to connect with people all around the world. I wanted to […]

Raise your hand if you struggle with focus and concentration? I know I definitely do. We live in a world where instant gratification is just a click away on our phone, tablets and computers. So we’re easily distracted all the time and our brain is searching for the next new bit of info. That’s one […]

Perfection is the killer of many dreams. Too many people try to be perfect before they start. They want to learn everything that they can before starting. Trying to learn everything you can before you start is impossible. Since it’s impossible and you know that it is you will never start. You will always feel […]

If you have been following the news since 2017 started, you would think the future of the United States is in trouble. Majority of the people probably think that the current president is going to do a horrible job. There have been nationwide protests. People are upset and fearful about the future. I’m not worried […]

How often have you heard the advice “Go and find your passion.” Or you will read “Start a business that you are passionate about.” I think it’s bad advice. It never worked for me. I could never figure out my passion in life. I hoped I would figure it out, but it never came to […]

Count me in as one of those people that is frustrated by my health at the beginning of the new year. I have noticed clothes getting tighter, belly sticking out more, and an overall lack of being able to focus. Of course like most things it happens gradually over time until one day until it […]

Do you feel like you never have any free time? You’re already busy and you can’t imagine how you have any extra time to exercise, work on a side hustle, read, or have a morning routine. Every day you feel busy, but you also feel like you’re not getting anything productive done. You just wish […]

Are you a patient person? Are you willing to wait an hour for your dinner to be cooked and come out? Do you love sitting in traffic jams and having it take 30 minutes to get somewhere that normally takes 5 minutes? We don’t like to wait. We want to get to where we’re going […]

Happy New Year! I hope you had a great 2016 and definitley hope you have an even better 2017. If you’re like most people you’re thinking about what you want to change and improve this year. You make a mental note of it. I used to do this, but I have stopped making New Year’s […]

Imagine if you had a square block and you’re trying to fit it into a round hole. The size of the hole is roughly the same size of the block. You keep trying to push it in, but of course it doesn’t go in. You try to put it in from a different angle. You […]

For most of my adult life, I have never been one to wake up early. I worked in the restaurant business which didn’t mean 9-5. For me it meant, 11-11.  So I never needed to get up early. That was one of the only things I liked about my job. When I began working for […]

I know you are interested in personal development. That’s why you are here, but what have you done with what you have learned? Too many people fall into the trap of being fans of personal development, but they never do anything with what they learn. All they do is consume content through articles, books, and […]

Finding motivation to consistently take action with ease would be a dream come true right? I’d love to be motivated every day, but I’m not. I’m human so there are day where I don’t want to do much but watch TV with my iPad on my lap. It’s even harder to find the motivation to do […]

If I asked you what you truly wanted in life, you’d likely say to be happy. Plain and simple. All our lives, we have been led to believe that there is a formula for success, and that happiness is the reward. For half of my 20’s and into my early 30’s, all I wanted was […]

Life has been, many times over, compared to a roller coaster ride; it has its ups and downs. We experience happy moments and we relish those moments. We experience disappointments and then we wallow in negativity. Unfortunately, we tend to experience more of life’s downward spiral than the glorious highs; and oftentimes, we get stuck. […]

I’m currently in Taipei, Taiwan for our annual trip back here. My wife is from here. We met here when I lived here for a short time. Being here always brings back great memories from 2007-2008. It was nine years ago this month that I made a decision to move here. I was at a […]

I went through a month where I was unhappy making $500 a day. I know it sounds crazy and I hate to admit it, but it’s true. I was not happy with making that much money at that time. If someone would have told me five years ago I’d make $500 in a day, I’d […]
