"Did you even try"Many of us are not winning because we talk ourselves out of the game before we even get on the field. Ask yourself, has there been something you have wanted to do but you didn't because you came up with different reasons (other wise known as excuses) you did not follow through. You did not even try.In today's episode, you will hear a few different things to keep in mind when an idea manifests and why you should lean into that discomfort.When you do not try you could miss out on something magical When you try, it could not work Trying new things can lead to THE thingLinks/resources: Instagram: Rob Gray Coaching Facebook: Rob Gray Coaching Website: Robgraycoaching.com

To many people have gone to their grave never willing to risk it. Achieving any measure of success requires one being willing to look foolish and and fail many times before the reward can be presented.Arguably, the same number of still breathing humans go about their daily lives participating in habits that they would have not have normally accepted for themselves. Yet, they participate none the less. Gaining the reward of what you want means being willing to listen to your higher calling and also being willing to risk falling while running after it.

"Wipe the dust off"-Even Jesus had a proximity problem. -They have grown accustom to you one way. Now they are being forced to see you in a different light.-Do not be surprised when the people that have grown accustom to you one way, have a hard time seeing you in a different way. "Know your audience"-Some will see it. Some what. So what. (hear the story of the business woman whom had to tell her husband to help support her or be quiet)-Salad or cheeseburger.

To those that hate on others:Be willing to ask yourself a question..."why are you not supporting your friend or loved one in their dreams or goals? Is it because they are doing something that deep down you want to do for yourself?To those whom have others hating on them:1) There will ALWAYS be some that will not support you.2) When we up-level any area of your lives, it is like we are holding up a large mirror in front of others and that mirror shows a reflection of what THEY are not willing to do.Links/resources: Instagram: Rob Gray Coaching Facebook: Rob Gray Coaching Website: Robgraycoaching.com

"Shout out to all my procrastinators"Three things that have helped me procrastinate less and get more doneShould I do it now or do it later?-Better questions asked means a better and more productive life. So, when it comes time for something to be done, ask and answer the question of what will happen if I do it now or wait and do it laterTime Blocking-The most productive people I know find decide what tasks needed to be completed. Then they a select a block of time (e.i 10am to 1pm) and they work until all the tasks that they need to get done are completed. 5 Second Rule-The credit for this concept must go Mel Robbins, a renowned motivational and keynote speaker. Whenever there is something needing to be done (getting out of bed or asking the boss for a raise), count backwards from 5 and the moment you get to 1 get it done.

"Stop Believing your own "bs" story"(1) Decide what it is you really wantIn a world of social media, consistent news broadcasting, and opinions coming from all directions, it can be really easy to lose ourselves and our voice. Ask yourself, what is it that you really want, not what others want for you.(2) Take inventory of your lifeDo your daily actions match your dreams? Look around at your environment. Does it have the appearance of someone who is wanting to transform their health, improve their finances, or start that business?(3) Take immediate and inspired actionThe separator between the average and extraordinary are that champions and people of purpose decide what what they want, create the goal, and take action on those goals immediate. They do not wait until Monday.(4) Wake up tomorrow and decide againMotivations is fleeting. If you need constant motivation then you really may not want it. What we truly value we will do. But even an immediate decision today had to be decided on again tomorrow. Links/resources: Instagram: Rob Gray Coaching Facebook: Rob Gray Coaching Website: Robgraycoaching.com

We have only so much energy to spend in a day.That energy is going to be used both physically and mentally.Why spend that energy on negative assumptions vs spending that energy on working the problem and coming up with creative solutions to that situationLinks/resources: Instagram: Rob Gray Coaching Facebook: Rob Gray Coaching Website: Robgraycoaching.com

Want to change a habit, you must change you thinking. What to change your thinking, then become consciously aware of what is coming in and what you allow to stay. -Start by being honest with yourself. Not just about your opportunities, but what do you truly want and desire. Be you boo. Because there is literally no one else like and the world needs your gifts. You are not doing the world, your friends and family, but most importantly yourself any favors by playing small and running a race that is not yours to run.-Protect your peace. We only have so much energy to spend on any given day. Why spend it on thoughts that do not deserve your energy nor do they support your higher purpose. -Complete a live autopsy on what you are thinking. Check yourself on the regular. People fail not because they first did not try. But because they did not have the conscious awareness to mind their mental business. This lack of mining kept them from even playing in the first place. -Ask yourself how do you want to feel in that moment. Put yourself in the space as if you are already there. The more you attach the vibration or feeling of that accomplishment, the more specific actions you will take to manifest those dreams. Results lie within our actions. So what actions are you taking?Links/resources: Instagram: Rob Gray Coaching Facebook: Rob Gray Coaching Website: Robgraycoaching.com

"Mind Your Focus"Where your attention goes, your results will follow Want to change something in your life, change your attention; change your focus.-Pay closer attention to the things you say and do.

Friday Coffee Conversation - "Giving Feedback"I have noticed that there are two methods or two types of people when they give feedback to a business.One - The "go for the jugular." Meaning the person who gets so worked up about their experience at a business that they deliver their feedback in such a visceral method that anger is utilized as their weapon and demands immediate compensation of some sort. Two - "Firm but professional." The person who states their case. Even though they had a poor experience, they make their request known with professionalism. Which one are you? When you give feedback in a professional or public setting what are you hoping to gain? Are you willing to give feedback to that business so that they have the opportunity to learn and grow?Links/resources: Instagram: Rob Gray Coaching Facebook: Rob Gray Coaching Website: Robgraycoaching.com

"Mop The Floor.""How doing the small things in life well will lead to success and the bigger things."When was the last time you "mopped the floor," and did you it well?-Paying close attention to detail in a separator between those you reach success on a occasion versus the top 5 percenters who obtain it consistently. The millionaire who mops his restaurants floors-Learn key insights from a multi-millionaire who feels that leading by example is key to long term success. How you do the smallest of things means everythingThere is an old saying that goes "the devil is in the details." I am going to upgrade that statement and offer "the success is within the details.Others are watching, so lead by example-People will believe you more by what you do then what you say. Others may be watching. And if that is the case, then set a great example for them to watch.Can you take pride in your finished work?-If you cannot take a step back and feel pride in your work, then how can others? Start by asking yourself if your finished work can be placed up against the best of the best."What ever you do, whatever your task, work from the soul." - Colossians 3:23-If God or the universe were going to be reviewing your work, would you be comfortable with either partaking in your finished product? This is the mindset we should ride into all that we do.Links/resources: Instagram: Rob Gray Coaching Facebook: Rob Gray Coaching Website: Robgraycoaching.com

"Breaking through a Plateau"Question to ask yourself..."Does your current direction match your long term vision?"You say you want change. But does your current direction or choices say something completely different.Another question to ask yourself..."Do you really want it?"All of the motivation and inspiration in the world means nothing if you really don't want it.Go one more!!Utilizing the effects of compound efforts, what can doing just one more (rep in the gym, phone call, personal conversation with a friend or loved one, etc) do to your overall goal or vision.Links/resources: Instagram: Rob Gray Coaching Facebook: Rob Gray Coaching Website: Robgraycoaching.com

"What am I to learn?"Every person that has been in our life or currently holds a spot in our space and time is there for a reason. Those reasons are rarely if ever evident at that time. Usually we do not know why a certain person is or was there for us. But the fact that we interacted with them is no accident.This holds true for those that we even do not like. In fact, I will argue that it is those individuals that fit this description is where we can learn from the most. The key though is to start asking ourselves what is this person teaching me. Why is it that when I am around this person, certain things are different and/or I am different. When we can start asking ourselves these questions, we can gain so much clarity about ourselves and that clarity is utterly liberating.Links/resources: Instagram: Rob Gray Coaching Facebook: Rob Gray Coaching Website: Robgraycoaching.com

My view is that there is not. Both require trust and a certain level of trust and mutual understanding.Unbalanced Expectations and how they can destroy a friendship.-When one side of the friendship is doing all of the heavy lifting, it will eventually cause that relationship to wither and fade away.

Yet, they are three words that can be the glue that keeps together some of the most powerful and lasting friendships. It can't be forcedNone of us want that person to leave.

In today's podcast, I talk about how this question was brought to me and the sub-sequent journey it has sent me on.The question was raisedIn reading his titled “Can't Hurt Me,” retired Navy Seal David Goggins asks us to consider what are really capable of. By asking himself this question, he was able to accomplish feats way beyond what he thought was his capacity Answer comes through sufferingBy choosing to suffering or seeking hard things, you will be able to build a callous mind or the ability to not allow everyday to derail you from the path you want to go on.I am a quitterFor most of my life, I have quit just about everything. I was this way because I was not prepared to answer my own question of what are my capabilities. Must be answered everydayThe process of answering this question is not a one-time option. It must be sought after intentionally every day. The processStart with right where you are. Be brutally honest about your imperfections.

"Do the thing you fear to do and keep doing it. That is the quickest and surest ways ever yet discovered to conquer fear." - Dale CarnegieIn today's episode we will discuss why just because you are afraid to do something does not mean that you should not do it. In fact, I will show why the opposite is the truth. Why the fear you are feeling may be the exact internal compass that you need. We will discuss three specific points of thoughts when it comes to fear."What fear does and does not mean. Part of the process" (11:30)There are a few types of fear that really break down into whether that fear is perceived as physical or emotional. The funny thing is our brains have no idea if the fear we have is real or perceived. No matter though, to get to the other side of where we want to be, we must face that fear head on. There is no getting around it. "An exceptional guidepost.” (16:50)Here we talk about why in many instances our fear is pointing us in the direction that we need to go. Keep in mind that our brains are designed to protect us from arm. It is just an evolutionary mechanism that we have. However, that mechanism is limited. It can only do so much. "Moving through fear is part of the process. (19:50)We all want to be successful; in what ever field or endeavor. What's not understood is that champions are champions because they understand the old cliche…Courage is not the absence of fear, but knowing you are afraid and moving forward anyway."Next Steps" (27:01)Get out of your head and into your heart. What am I afraid of? Journal your fears.We are afraid of the unknown. Get a mentor(s). Get your questions answered.Expand your mind by focusing on the positive possibilities.Take immediate massive actionLinks/resources: Instagram: Rob Gray Coaching Facebook: Rob Gray Coaching Website: Robgraycoaching.com
