The old adage "actions speak louder than words" is what we have all heard before and it's an important lesson to learn. But, how many of us actually live by this? It can be hard to always behave with impeccable integrity, but if you want to succeed in your professional life, then being impeccable with your word is the foundation of your success. There are so many things that go into becoming a well-respected professional: active listening skills, communication skills, organization skills...the list goes on and on. However one thing that professionals need more than anything else is honesty; without honesty there isn't any way for people who work with them or know them personally to trust them. The truth is that we are all human beings. And we make mistakes. We do not need to be perfect, but what we can do is try to be better every day. It’s important to remember that our words have an impact on other people, so it’s up to us how we want them to perceive us. If you are a person who always says what they think without second thoughts, this episode is for you! Be impeccable with your word by following the Four Agreements and watch as your life improves in many ways. You will feel more confident when speaking or writing because you know that you put in an effort into being honest with yourself and others around you. Which is absolutely critical right now. By saying only what needs to be said instead of blurting out whatever comes into our minds, we can become more mindful about how others perceive us based on our words alone. Our communication skills can improve dramatically when we use fewer words because everything has been carefully thought through before. Be impeccable with your word and watch your professional success soar to new heights. This episode draws upon the work of Don Miguel Ruiz and his book “The Four Agreements” Agreement 1: Be Impeccable With Your Word. Agreement 2: Don't Take Anything Personally. Agreement 3: Don't Make Assumptions. Agreement 4: Always Do Your Best. Enjoy.

Hasheem Francis is a self-made entrepreneur, and he has learned how to create habits that work for him. He stresses the importance of creating and maintaining good habits, as it might be easier than breaking bad ones. The key to success? Discipline! My guest is Hasheem Francis. I interview a lot of people and I have to say that Hasheem Francis is one of the most interesting. He shares about how it takes more than just getting out of a bad situation in order to be successful, you need self-discipline, mental toughness and finding ways to protect your mental space from negative influences. You also need learn about yourself what makes you happy without letting other things control your life--that’s where habits come into play! Creating good habits are key, because if we don't do this then our old bad ones will continue on. Discipline really pays off so focus on doing healthy activities not destructive behaviors while being mindful during difficult times too. How do you protect yourself from negative people? One of the best ways to deal with toxic people is to not have them around you. If they’re in your life, limit your time with them and spend more time with positive people. To avoid negative influences surround yourself with positive ones, as much as possible. Be intentional and surround yourself by reading books on effective self-improvement, listening to positive podcasts or watching videos that inspire you. Take care of yourself first. People can influence you for better or worse, so take care of yourself first, that’s what Hasheem says over and over in this exceptional interview. Some people become easily influenced by other people’s negative thoughts and ideas, which could lead them down the wrong path in life. If someone is not taking good care of themselves mentally and physically it will be hard for them to stay positive about anything in life. Simply because they are constantly letting negativity into their mind through others around them, who may have a different perspective on things than what that person believes in at the time. In order to protect your mental health you must learn how to keep a positive mindset even when everyone else around you seems negative towards certain situations or circumstances that may arise in your life. Hasheem’s best advice for the next generation of entrepreneurs is to spend a lot less time looking down onto the electronic devices and instead spend more time looking up. Go out and enjoy your life.
