Kids don’t always like their parents, and that’s because parents are there to make them do the things they don’t want to do. Don’t expect to always like yourself as you start on this path to parenting yourself... your mind will try to pushback... keep going anyway. Your future successful self depends on it.

Stop whatever you’re doing right now and give yourself a hug round of applause for everything you’ve already accomplished in life. YOU’RE AMAZING! You’re killing it! You’re number one! It’s time to start being as proud of ourselves as our parents were when we took our first steps or the first time we spelled our name correctly.

According to Warren Buffet, the key to success is to read... a lot and often. But most adults don’t read. If you listened to yesterday’s podcast you know exactly why most adults choose not to read. But since reading is the literal key to success according to some of the wealthiest most successful people on Earth, then it’s probably something all of us should do more of. In this episode we discuss the best way you can get yourself to read more.

People who half-ass the “hard” stuff don’t become successful and live incredible lives. They just don’t. That’s why this episode focuses on how to make the “hard” stuff fun, and why you should reconsider how you approach the difficulties you face in life.

This episode reviews what we’ve learned this week about when to reward yourself and when not to, as well as when to distract yourself and when to stop yourself from getting distracted. And, unsurprisingly, our parents have a thing or two to teach us about both!

Remember hearing “you can’t go outside and play until all of your homework is finished”. Well, it’s time to start being that annoying kill-joy to yourself... in this episode we’re going to re-learn what exactly rewards are and how to start rewarding ourselves again!

Think that being distracted is a bad thing? Think again! In this episode we explore ho distraction can actually be a good thing, and our parents have a thing or two to teach us about distracting our minds when we’re sad or upset.

Your mind is literally like a 5-year-old; if you want it to stop doing something you have to punish it - NOT reward it. While this sounds so obvious, you’d be surprised how you’re unconsciously rewarding your mind for acting up and making it harder for you to achieve your goals and follow your dreams.

Choose to be happy just like Liam Neeson chose to save his daughter in the movie Taken. He didn’t pretend like nothing bad was happening; but he also didn’t focus on all of the bad things he couldn’t control. Be the kind of parent to yourself that Liam Neeson is in the movie Taken.

If you think eating junk food is bad for you, try hanging out with ambition-less people who think everything is “impossible” or “too difficult”.

It’s not just enough to think about your friendships the way your parents would, you need to be parenting yourself when it comes to your love life as well... and here’s why.

Wonder why you think it’s so hard to “eat healthy”, “quit smoking” or even “make a million dollars”?

When’s the last time you put serious thought into who you interact with on a daily basis? Probably never - it’s not something most of us ever really think about. Today though we’re going to discuss why you should be choosing your friendships (all kinds) as carefully as you choose your clothes in the morning, and why it might be time to “clean out your closet”.

Ever feel like your thoughts are the ones calling the shots? Think that you have no control over what you think or how you feel? Today we’re going to explore just how much control you have over everything you’re thinking of, and how to take back control when you feel like you’ve lost it!
