Amazing what you can learn from performers… even trapeze artists! I learned how they start off, and the process they use is a beautiful parallel of how we should all learn to fall… which is doing something you'd think a trapeze artist doesn't want to do. No one wants to fail! But when a trapeze artist learns how to fall safe… they take the sting and pain out of what appears to be failure. There are three take aways of how to learn to fail (fall) safe! Now Go For It! Thanks for joining us this week!

4 Actions (Convictions) To Overcome a Tragic Setback We all have setbacks, and every setback is tragic to some extent. It's why some people often ask, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" Well, that I can answer, but won't today. Today I want to share with you a tragic setback that took place for me and my family 7 years ago this week...

To Be or To Do… That Is The Question? There is an old joke that I remember when I saw first when I was 16. Socrates said, "To Be is to Do" Plato said, "To Do is to Be" Sinatra said "Do Be Do Be Do" It still makes me laugh. Today I discuss whether the doing is more important than what you BE... And while they both work together, one is more important than the other. I'll go into detail, and it may not be what you think. Today is a fun podcast!

5 Surefire Tactics on How to Destroy Distractions Do you ever feel like you are one of the dogs in the movie “UP”, and everywhere you turn you hear the word ‘squirrel'? Does your phone, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn,… whatever social media name you want to put in there seems to keep you from staying focused and on track? Well if you, you are just like EVERYONE ELSE! And just like everyone else, you can get a handle on how to destroy distractions! Today is a fun podcast! You'll want to listen to the full episode but just to give you a quick run down are the 5 Surefire Tactics on How to Destroy Distractions: Eliminate Distractions – that's pretty self-explanatory, but you must become RUTHLESS with the biggest distractions in your life. It's easier to alter your environment, that it is to change who you are. Highlight the Important Things – this is especially valuable when it comes to goals and vision for your life, but make the most important things you want to focus on, be bolder and brighter than anything else around. Time your focus – use a watch, stopwatch, cell phone… or you microwave for that matter but set a specific time for a specific task and work until the ding. Writers call them sprints and they are used for one reason… THIS WORKS! Plan your work – take 20 to 30 minutes every day to plan your work, plan your play, plan some margins to be distracted. Distractions won't seem like such an issue when you feel you have a definite plan ahead of you. Love some White Noise – I don't mean music… at least not for me, unless it's classical or soundtracks from a movie. Cause if it has words in it I'll be singing in no time, and no one wants that I've been told. Get an app for background noise to feel the silence. In fact, many people work better in Coffee Shops for just this reason. And lastly don't buy into the excuse, “Well I'm just ADD, or ADHD…” You may have something to work through, but don't use an excuse because you aren't diligent! So there you go! 5 Surefire tactics to help you on how to destroy the distractions in your life! Be sure to go to http://getlifeunstuck.com to sign up for updates. See you next week, and go for it!

How To Get Your Life Unstuck NOW with This Simple System Realizing your life needs to go in another direction is the first step! Deciding WHERE you want your life to go, is the next… But making sure you stay on COURSE to your expected destination may well be just as important as knowing WHERE you want to go! There are so many money pits out there that you can throw money into… but I'll never do that! I want to give you some tool to help you Get Your Life Unstuck… and the Simple System I use to stay on track. Take notes and if you don't use this basic system… FIND SOMETHING THAT WILL KEEP YOU ON TRACK! Below are some of the tools I use, and that I speak about: Moleskin Hard Cover Notebook 5″ x 8.25″ This is my preference… They're durable, and the pages and what you write last! AmazonBasics Classic Ruled Notebook (same size) Basically the same and about $2.00 cheaper, but I prefer the Moleskin Mead Composition Notebooks College Ruled I've used these for years and they work fine… I don't think the paper lasts as long but really… you get 3 books for $6.00 – can't get much simpler and cheaper than this! Jinhao Executive Fountain Pen I'm only adding it here because I mention it… and if you like fountain pens it doesn't come any better or INEXPENSIVE… $9.00! and here is the link I suggest (only because I know may get asked…) Montblanc Ink Mystery Black It seems expensive at $21.00 dollars a bottle but it isn't. The bottle has a built-in ink well so it's not as messy, and the bottle will last you at least a year unless you are handwriting ‘War and Peace” All of the above links are affiliate links, so if you click them and purchase I'll make a commission, but that doesn't affect the price in any way. I've used this basic system for several years… and the catchy term now is Bullet Journals. Some are so much more complex, but if you want to watch a video describing a basic Bullet Journal here's a Youtube Video: How To Bullet Journal Hope you enjoy this week's podcast! Go For It!

Download Episode How to Have a Happy Holiday Surrounded by Unhappy People! We are entering the Holiday Season, and whether you must spend it with family during Christmas, colleagues during a Business Party, or the Outlaws and In-laws during New Year's…. Holidays can be a tough time to walk through. Trust I know… I've been there.  This week I'm going to share 7 Principles on How to Have a Happy Holiday Surrounded by Unhappy People. Just to make sure you get them all here they are in a quick applicable format, although I go into greater detail in thepodcast: Decided BEFORE the gathering or event to ENJOY it! Choose Happiness! Choose a good expectation! Don't give PERMISSION to others to control you! Know the topics you are willing to discuss Don't talk about topics or issues that you don't want to… If necessary, leave the room so that you don't have to be a part of a topic. Realize that many people's unhappiness is an issue of their own making… and let them own it. Have empathy for them… but not ownership. Know that they (and you) may not be here for the next event… or even next year. Realize that time is short and enjoy the time you have with those. Choose GRACE over vindication. You do not have to give an answer to everyone… but you do need to give one to yourself. Use the soft answer…. Not the Stern one! Proverbs 15:1-4 Amplified “A soft and gentle and thoughtful answer turns away wrath, But harsh and painful and careless words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise speaks knowledge that is pleasing and acceptable, But the [babbling] mouth of fools spouts folly. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, Watching the evil and the good [in all their endeavors]. A soothing tongue [speaking words that build up and encourage] is a tree of life, But a perversive tongue [speaking words that overwhelm and depress] crushes the spirit. Also, the Podcast has TWO EXTRAS… don't miss those! Remember, Go For It!
