Send us a textEpisode Notes: In this short, but valuable episode of Mind Wrench, we dive into the power of resilience as the key differentiator between success and struggle in both business and life. Resilience is the invisible backbone of achievement, enabling individuals to bounce back from adversity swiftly and maintain focus. Author & keynote speaker Brian Tracy shares his powerful insights, the concept of "mental rehearsal" – a technique that prepares you emotionally for inevitable challenges before they arrive. Tracy's straightforward wisdom reminds us that "all of life is a continuous series of problems" interrupted only by occasional crises, a perspective that helps reframe our approach to difficulties, like we experience daily in the collision business, right? Rather than being derailed by setbacks, truly resilient people immediately shift to solution-focused thinking.  In addition, we share Tracy's "mind storming" technique, also known as the "20 idea method," is highlighted as a transformative tool for financial success. By writing down 20 potential solutions to a specific goal, individuals are pushed beyond obvious answers, often leading to breakthrough insights. This simple yet powerful exercise encourages creative thinking and problem-solving.By adopting these strategies, shop owners can enhance their ability to handle setbacks, drive business success, and achieve personal growth. Tune in to strengthen your resilience and transform your approach to life's inevitable challenges. More from Brian TracyLink to YouTube talk: Secrets of Self Made Millionaires by Brian Tracy Sign up for FREE to my "Quote of the Day" below: https://tinyurl.com/fv5xr68hSupport the showJoin our Mind Wrench mailing list!

In this episode of PivotMe, April dives deep into the age-old productivity wisdom: “Eat the frog first.” But this isn't just about task lists—it's about courage, action, and momentum. April breaks down why high performers don't avoid hard things; they just do them faster. With raw stories, practical insights, and a splash of humor, this episode will challenge listeners to stop delaying and start leaping. Key Takeaways: What the Frog Really Is: It's that hard conversation, overdue decision, or the lingering task you keep pushing off. And it's costing you peace and progress. The Myth of Graduation: You don't outgrow difficult tasks. Successful people just build the muscle to handle them faster and messier. 10 Seconds of Courage: You don't need hours of motivation—just ten seconds of brave action to shift everything. Momentum Matters: Eating one frog builds energy to tackle the next. Success is a domino effect—just start. Don't Over-Prepare: High performers don't “perfectly plan” their attack on the frog—they just move. They wreck it. They move on. Quote from the Episode: “Frogs don't disappear when you get more successful. They just get bigger—and you get better at eating them.” Actionable Items: Identify the “frog” you've been avoiding—name it. Set a timer and give yourself 10 seconds of bravery to leap. Don't wait for permission, motivation, or perfection—just move. Use the momentum from one win to build into the next. Hard things don't go away. But you don't need less frogs—you need more courage. Eat the frog, eat it fast, and watch how your confidence and success compound. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

In this revealing solo episode of Spirituality Now, host and producer Ivonne Delaflor dives deep into a theme that's often misunderstood, misjudged, and even feared: the power of changing your mind

Brian Tracy's journey to success is rooted in timeless principles of personal development, starting with the importance of dreaming big and cultivating a powerful mindset. He emphasizes that individuals become what they consistently think about, making focused, positive thinking essential for achieving long-term goals. He identifies self-discipline as the most critical quality for success, a trait he honed through real-world experience, including a story about leading a team to sell more soap than anyone else in the country. Coming from humble beginnings, Brian learned to transform failure into feedback, viewing rejection as a stepping stone to mastery in sales and personal growth.The core of his leadership philosophy is encapsulated in Brian's Triangle Method, a simple yet powerful framework for success built on clarity, competence, and concentration. This method, along with his refined sales system, has helped countless individuals build wealth and independence.

From time to time I am contacted by someone who says they have an interesting and thought provoking guest who would be perfect for Unstoppable Mindset. Such was the case when I was contacted about our guest this time, Dre Baldwin. Dre and I had an initial conversation and I invited him to appear as a guest. I must say that he more than exceeded my expectations. And now he is back for a second time with us with more stories and insights.   You may recall from my first episode with him that Dre grew up in Philadelphia. He wanted to do something with sports and tried out various options until he discovered Basketball in high school. While he wasn't considered overly exceptional and only played one year in high school he realized that Basketball was the sport for him.   Dre went to Penn State and played all four of his college years. Again, while he played consistently and reasonably well, he was not noticed and after college he was not signed to a professional team. He worked at a couple of jobs for a time and then decided to try to get noticed for basketball by going to a camp where he could be seen by scouts and where he could prove he had the talent to make basketball a profession. As he will tell us, eventually he did get a contract to play professionally. Other things happened along the way as you will hear. Dre discovered Youtube and the internet and began posting basketball tips which became popular.   In this episode we continue to discuss with Dre the lessons he wishes to convey as well as his life philosophy. Dre discuss more about the value and need for personal initiative. He tells us the value of having a personal initiative mindset and how that can lead to high performance.   I asked Dre about how playing basketball prepared him for his work in business. His answer will surprise you. It did me. As he points out, his business preparation came earlier and in different ways than playing basketball.   I also asked Dre why he left playing professional basketball. Again, his answer is fascinating. I will leave that for Dre to tell you.   I hope you enjoy my talk with Dre as much as I. Dre Baldwin provided many lessons we all can use. Who knows? Dre, you and I may talk again. Stay tuned.       About the Guest:   As CEO and Founder of Work On Your Game Inc., Dre Baldwin has given 4 TEDxTalks on Discipline, Confidence, Mental Toughness & Personal Initiative and has authored 35 books. He has appeared in national campaigns with Nike, Finish Line, Wendy's, Gatorade, Buick, Wilson Sports, STASH Investments and DIME magazine.    Dre has published over 8,000 videos to 142,000+ subscribers, his content being consumed over 103 million times.    Dre's daily Work On Your Game MasterClass has amassed over 2,900 episodes and more than 7.3 million downloads.    In just 5 years, Dre went from the end of his high school team's bench to a 9-year professional basketball career. He played in 8 countries including Lithuania, Germany, Montenegro, Slovakia and Germany.    Dre invented his Work On Your Game framework as a "roadmap in reverse" to help professionals with High Performance, Consistency and Results.    A Philadelphia native, Dre lives in Miami.   Ways to connect Dre:   http://Instagram.com/DreBaldwin http://YouTube.com/Dreupt https://www.facebook.com/WorkOnYourGameUniversity http://LinkedIn.com/in/DreAllDay http://X.com/DreAllDay http://TikTok.com/WorkOnYourGame   Kindly use this link for our Free book, The Third Day

About this Episode Can you really have it all—an ambitious, thriving career while also nurturing a deeply satisfying romantic relationship? Or does chasing professional success mean sacrificing love and connection at home? For many high achievers, pursuing career goals brings unexpected loneliness, relationship strain, and an exhausting sense of self-abandonment. The pressure to perform at work often leaves little time or energy for building intimacy, leading countless professionals to quietly wonder: Why does succeeding at work come so much easier than succeeding at love?

Simon looks at the concept of taking massive action in property investing and how to overcome procrastination. He introduces the "massive success formula," which emphasises the importance of combining massive action, doing the right stuff, and consistency to achieve significant success in real estate. Simon outlines key steps for aspiring investors, such as finding motivated sellers, arranging viewings, making offers, and building a network. He also shares valuable resources, including Mel Robbins' "The 5 Second Rule" and Brian Tracy's "Eat That Frog," to help listeners take immediate action and tackle their most challenging tasks. KEY TAKEAWAYS To achieve success in property investing, it's crucial to take massive action, which includes finding motivated sellers, arranging viewings, making offers, and following up on potential deals. Procrastination can hinder progress. Utilising techniques like Mel Robbins' "5 Second Rule" can help prompt immediate action on opportunities instead of delaying them. Attending networking events and connecting with others in the property industry is essential. Building relationships can lead to potential partnerships and funding opportunities. Books like "Eat That Frog" by Brian Tracy can provide strategies for managing tasks and prioritising actions that lead to success in property investing. Regularly assess what actions you need to take and what activities may be holding you back. Creating a "don't do" list can help identify unproductive habits that need to be eliminated. BEST MOMENTS "If you want to achieve huge success, there are three things you need to do and you need to do them together." "Procrastination is one of the biggest enemies of massive action."

What if your greatest business challenge could become your launchpad into thought leadership? Today, Bill Sherman sits down with Aaron Marcum, visionary behind Breakaway 365 and bestselling author of EntreThrive, to explore how a journey from entrepreneur to industry thought leader unfolds—often unintentionally. Aaron shares how his frustration with data gaps in the home care space led to the founding of a data analytics company and, unexpectedly, a national reputation as a thought leader. Along the way, he leveraged the insights of thinkers like Brian Tracy and Michael Gerber, and later deepened his impact through a Master's in Applied Positive Psychology under the guidance of Dr. Martin Seligman. Aaron breaks down how storytelling with data shifted his role from CEO to an in-demand industry voice, fueling brand growth, product evolution, and ultimately, a lucrative exit. But he didn't stop there. With EntreThrive, he's now equipping entrepreneurs to beat burnout, overcome inertia, and find lasting fulfillment. Whether he's on stage, coaching leaders, or writing his next big idea, Aaron exemplifies how thought leadership evolves with intention and legacy in mind. He doesn't just teach frameworks—he lives them. And his mission? To empower other coaches and entrepreneurs to do the same, with impact that extends beyond business and into family, travel, and values. Three Key Takeaways: • Thought Leadership Can Be Accidental—But It Shouldn't Stay That Way: Aaron began as a consumer of thought leadership, applying insights from Brian Tracy and Michael Gerber to his business. Over time, he evolved into a recognized voice in the home care industry by solving real problems with data, eventually becoming an intentional and strategic thought leader. • Data + Storytelling = Impact: His ability to interpret data and turn it into actionable insights transformed his brand visibility, customer engagement, and exit valuation. By controlling the narrative through thought leadership, he elevated his company's reputation and market value. • Purpose Drives the Next Chapter: After exiting two companies, Aaron continues to lead with purpose—not for profit, but for impact. Through EntreThrive and Breakaway 365, he's focused on coaching entrepreneurs to overcome burnout and thrive, combining positive psychology, personal experience, and a calling to serve others. If you're exploring how thought leadership can evolve from personal insight to organizational strategy, this episode offers complementary perspectives. In Discovering Thought Leadership, Mark Smith shares his journey from HR research to establishing a formal thought leadership role at SHRM, navigating internal structures to align research with actionable business goals.

Send us a textIn this episode of Daily Energize, Spencer Jones shares how the book Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy jumpstarted his personal growth journey. Learn the powerful lesson of tackling your hardest task first—and how it can transform your productivity and mindset. 

Mark Twain famously said, "Eat a live frog first thing in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day." In this episode, April Garcia dives into why tackling your hardest task first is the ultimate productivity hack—and how to stop letting procrastination drain your mental energy. Key Takeaways: ✅ The Frog Theory – Your "frog" is the task you dread most. Avoiding it costs more energy than doing it. ✅ Fear vs. Reality – Most frogs take less than 20 minutes to complete (but feel massive in your mind). ✅ Frogs Multiply – Ignored tasks breed mental clutter and distraction. High performers eat theirs fast. ✅ The 20-Minute Rule – If it feels overwhelming, start with just 20 minutes. Momentum kills resistance. Action Steps:

I've taken a lot of courses on leadership.    Read a lot of books on it.    Been to tons of conferences.    I do not believe I am a leader, but I've been designated as one from the people I serve.    I don't know why some of these people follow me and turn to me for advice.    I wasn't a leader in school.    Wasn't a shot caller in the prisons or a gang leader.    What I do is just do what's best for me.    As a result, I see people coming to me to help them do the same for them.    If i have problems, I have to figure them out.    I'm not going to share them with others.    I keep it to myself and figure shit out.     If it is to be, it's up to me.    I learned this from a guy at the car wash where I worked.  He was from the Brian Tracy organization.    That stuck with me.    The leader doesn't get bailed out.    They have to be good at figuring things out by themselves.    In order to be a the best leader I can be, I have to be a really good follower.    Once you master this, you'll have people following you, but it requires you to help them.    Do this and you'll never have to beg people to follow you.      About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. You may have heard this week that my Time Sector System is five years old. And to celebrate, I updated the whole course.  Now, before I start to update a course, I go into Evernote and review all the comments I have collected from students and see if there are any common issues or difficulties that I could improve or explain better.  The Time Sector System works. It's based on timeless principles that have been used by some of the most productive people who have ever lived. As with all solid principles, there needs to be a degree of flexibility to accommodate the different ways we all work and the type of work we do. The way authors, for example, will protect three to four hours a day for writing might not be practical for a customer support assistant or a manager managing a team of twenty salespeople. Similarly, an architect will work differently from a doctor in an emergency room.  Yet, there are still some timeless principles that work no matter what role you have.  For example, it doesn't matter how much you have to do if you don't have the time to do it. Makes sense, right?  I could decide to write my next book today. That's the easy part. The difficult part is finding the time to write the book. I'm not sure how many hours I spent writing Your Time, Your Way, but from the first day I sat down to begin writing the first draft to when it was published in May last year, it was three years and I know every week, I spend at least ten hours on it— so roughly 2,000 hours.  Given that each week only has 168 hours, it would not be possible to write a book in a week.  One of the most productive companies I worked for was an advertising agency in Korea. The manager, Patrick, was smart. He realised that for his team to get the campaigns completed on time, he had to protect the time of his copywriters and graphic designers. They needed quiet, undisturbed time to do their work.  Yet the account managers and social media planners needed to be talking with each other and external companies to arrange space for the billboards, and media companies.  The account managers and planners generally had a meeting with each other each day.  The creative team only had two meetings per week. The Monday planning meeting where they planned out the work to be completed that week and the Friday morning team meeting where everything was discussed.  This meant the creatives (as they were called) had the quiet time to focus on their work.  In the four years I worked with that team, I never recall a time where they missed a deadline or even felt under pressure to complete a campaign. I'm sure there were occasions when they were under pressure—clients can be very demanding—but it was never noticeable.  What made this team so productive was that each person knew the objectives for the week. They knew what needed to be finished and ensured that they had the space and time to get on and complete the work. Patrick, as the boss, protected the time of his team.  He knew if he was constantly asking his creatives for updates, he would be slowing them down. He trusted his team and they trusted him. If they had a difficulty, or discovered that a piece of work would take longer to complete than initially anticipated, they could go to Patrick and tell him.  This comes back to something I learned from Brian Tracy—one of the world's best self-development teachers—that if you want to be successful at anything, you first need to establish what you need to do to be successful at it.  Once you know that, you can dedicate enough time to doing that and eliminating everything else.  There's the famous advice that Warren Buffett gives about managing your work. Write down the twenty-five things you feel you should do, then put a star next to the five most important, delete the rest and focus all your time and effort on completing those five.  So, where does flexibility come into this? Well, if you have an overflowing inbox with emails and messages piling up by the hour, you are constantly interrupted by people asking you questions about this and that, and you have no idea what needs to be completed this week, you lose all flexibility.  There's too much for your brain to decide what to work on next. You're overloaded and stress and anxiety will freeze you—slowing you down even further.  Take a copywriter working for Patrick. She knew what needed to be completed that week—it was agreed at the Monday meeting—and she had the freedom and flexibility to get on and do the work in her own way.  And that all came down to knowing from the beginning of the week what was required. Next week wasn't important. That could be discussed at the Friday meeting.  And that's one of the strongest concepts of the Time Sector System. Only focus on what needs to be done this week and not worry about next week until you do your weekly planning session at the end of the week.  We need to be flexible enough to modify things for the way we work. One aspect of the Time Sector System I recommend is working with projects.  Task managers, or todo lists, are not the best places to manage projects. Projects are information hubs. There's likely to be emails, plans, meetings, deadlines and what is called conditional tasks—where something cannot be completed until something else is completed first. Then there's likely to be files and documents being worked on which need to be accessed from time to time.  Projects are best managed in your notes apps. Notes apps have greater flexibility to store all this information. You can also create checklists which do not remove completed tasks which makes it easier to quickly see what has been completed and what remains to be done.  I recommend that you add a single task in your task manager saying “Work on project X” and connect that task to your project note. Some people mentioned that this seems cumbersome if the task is simply to follow up with someone.  I agree, and in these situations, I would suggest adding the follow-up task to your task manager. Be flexible.  Similarly, some projects are simple and easy to do. I have a project right now to get the terrace outside the office ready for the spring. When I come to do that project, the most effective way to complete it would be to schedule an afternoon on my calendar to go outside with the jet washer and get on and do it.  I do not need to create a project note for this. I just need to find some time on my calendar. This “project” doesn't even need to be on my task list. It's two or three hours protected on my calendar when it's not raining.  The principle to work from, is if something needs doing, then it will require time. So the questions is when will you do it?  Once you know what needs to be done, and are clear about what the desired outcome is, and you know when you will do it, the how will largely take care of itself. And it's how flexibility is your best friend.  Another area where I found people struggle is with the daily planning session. Daily planning is a critical part of being more focused and productive. When you have a plan for the day, you more likely to get the right things done. With no plan, you'll end up drifting through the day doing this and that and getting caught up in everyone else's crises and urgencies.  But not accomplishing very much.  Daily planning is five to ten minutes at the end of the day, deciding what you need to do the next day. Doing it the evening before allows you to let go of the day so you can relax and enjoy the evening.  Sounds simple, right? So why do so many people struggle to do it? Exhaustion. They are exhausted at the end of the day and cannot bring themselves to do it, so it doesn't get done.  And guess what happens the next day? They drift and get caught up in everyone else's work. And what does that do to them? It leaves them exhausted at the end of the day.  However, some people are early birds and like to wake up early. If you are an early bird, planning in the morning before the day begins works perfectly well.  This is another example of being flexible. Work to the way you work.  I remember when I used to wake up at 5:00 am (I did that for 18 months), and I would plan my day as part of my morning routine. It was only when waking up at 5:00 am became unsustainable after my coaching programme grew and I needed to be doing coaching sessions late into the evening that I stopped and started doing my daily planning in the evening after I finished my coaching sessions.  Different circumstances require different approaches, yet the principles remain. Plan your week so you know what's important at a higher level, then give yourself five to ten minutes to adjust your plan each day to allow for the unknowns that will inevitably have come in as the week progresses.  Protect time for doing your important work. If you need to prepare a proposal for an important client and you know it will require three to four hours to complete, then protect that time on your calendar and don't let anyone steal it from you.  If you allow someone steal that time from you and you find yourself under enormous time pressure at the end of the week, whose fault is that?  There was something I once heard Brian Tracy say and that was “take responsibility”. He was talking in terms of your life—take responsibility for your life. You can easily adopt that same approach for your time. Take responsibility for it. Be ruthless, yet flexible when you need to be so you can get your important work done.  I'm reminded of the East Asian saying: “be like bamboo”. It's strong, yet flexible enough to adapt to the wind, the snow and the rain and still not break. That should be your approach to your management of time. Be strong—say no when necessary—yet be flexible enough to adapt to the conditions.  I hope you found this helpful. Thank you for listening.  Don't forget, if you want to build a time management system like bamboo, then the new Time Sector System course is now available. The link is in the show notes. And if you are already enrolled, this is a free update for you and it's waiting for you in your Learning Centre dashboard.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.   

Patrick discusses the following during Hour 3: Audio – Brian Tracy – Be aggressive with your self-improvement. Sam - I wanted to give you an update on my health. I have Parkinson's and it is becoming harder to speak and walk. If you could pray for me I would appreciate it. Matthew - I was at my sister's confirmation last night and some things stuck out to me. People should go to confession before receiving the sacrament and the difference between validity and licenses. Should something be done if a sacrament is rendered illicitly? The Handbook of Indulgences and Grants, Page 57 Nick - Should I get married first or get confirmed first? Aaron - I was talking about confession with a friend of mine who thinks we can go directly to God. Why does my Catholic faith have so many more rules I need to follow? Will - Follow up on Sam's call - going to the priest is key difference between Catholic and protestant faith.

Cultivate habit patterns. I love this. I stole that phrase, "habit patterns," from Brian Tracy. I've always appreciated it because I noticed that the brain develops its own patterns. It has neuroplasticity. If you read something, if you listen to something, the brain just starts to develop a new neural pathway to accommodate it. You can cultivate habit patterns in the same way they are ingrained in us. When we deliberately cultivate them, they become ingrained in us. If you consider this, I read this a few weeks ago, maybe a few months ago, whatever you're doing, you're practicing. Consider, let's just say you spent more time than you planned to randomly look at a screen, like on a phone. That's a practice. And you're programming your mind to do that, to sort of be random. Nowadays, things come in videos that are 10 seconds or two minutes, and your mind then gets programmed in that way. Is that the habit pattern you want? Remember, whatever you do, you're practicing. So cultivation of habit patterns that take you towards your goals, not away from them, that's something exciting. You get yourself going in a healthy direction for body, mind, spirit. What is a habit? A settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up. So if you can get used to doing the things that are taking you towards a higher level of consciousness, and those become hard to give up, you don't want to give them up, because they feel so good to do, you'll feel extraordinarily empowered in your life, and it's all possible.
