Podcasts about Consistency

Let me guess. It's a new year, and you're supposed to feel motivated. Excited. Ready for a fresh start. But instead? You just feel tired. Tired of being tired. Tired of trying. Tired of feeling like you're starting over AGAIN with your eating disorder recovery. Everywhere you look, you're being bombarded with "new year, new you" messages. Detoxes. Transformation challenges. Fresh starts. Clean slates. And if you're in ED recovery, you know exactly what that pressure feels like—and how triggering it is. Here's what I need you to hear: A calendar flipping to January 1st doesn't magically fix anything. But there IS one emotion that will actually get you out of ED hell. And it's probably not what you think. In this raw, no-BS episode, I'm getting provocative, confrontational, and real with you about the power of frustration—and why being absolutely sick and tired of yourself and your eating disorder might be the best thing that could happen to your recovery. This isn't your typical "be kind to yourself" recovery talk. This is me calling you out with love, getting you MAD, and helping you channel that anger into the fuel you need to actually change. In this episode, you'll discover: Why "new year, new you" is toxic garbage (especially in ED recovery) The ONE emotion that will actually get you out of ED hell (hint: it's frustration) Why feeling "sick of yourself" isn't weakness—it's readiness My personal story of how I had to get ANGRY with myself to finally stop playing games with recovery What your eating disorder has actually taken from you over the years (and how many more years you're going to let it take) 3 powerful action steps to channel your frustration: plate-throwing, journaling prompts, and the anger letter The raw, unfiltered reality of what recovery actually takes (no sugarcoating) Why you need to stop negotiating with your ED and start getting pissed off enough to do something different If you're done playing victim to your own story. If you're sick of half-assing your recovery. If you're ready to get FRUSTRATED enough to finally take action—this episode is for you. Let's go.

Christina Lecuyer is kicking off 2026 with a grounded, refreshing perspective: no New Year's resolutions, no hustle, and no pressure to have it all figured out by January 1.Recorded just before Christmas, this episode shares how Christina is approaching 2026 with intention, flexibility, and a deep focus on mindset over rigid strategy. She reminds listeners that real change doesn't need a specific date and that you can decide to start fresh on any random Tuesday, whenever it actually feels aligned.Christina breaks down what truly drives long-term success in business and life: consistency, accountability, self-trust, and the ability to move through mindset blocks quickly. She also pulls back the curtain on what she's seeing with her clients heading into 2026, how they're avoiding burnout, regulating their nervous systems, and creating businesses that allow them to work less while making more.If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn!

To kick off the new year, I wanted to dive deep into setting up a personalized diet to achieve health, performance, and body composition goals. I share my evolving approach to nutrition, emphasizing that there's no one-size-fits-all diet. Focusing on the importance of discipline, commitment, and consistency, I discuss various dietary methods and macronutrient setups. Additionally, I provide insights on planning, meal prepping, and managing nutrition around training sessions.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction01:46 The Evolution of My Diet21:25 Common Obstacles in Nutrition36:21 Understanding Macronutrients44:42 Meal Plan Overview49:31 Tracking Your Macros: To Track or Not to Track?56:29 Setting Up Your Macros01:02:51 Planning and Preparation for Success01:10:44 Power Bowls: Quick, Nutritious, and Convenient01:13:57 Importance of Food Sourcing01:23:34 Pre and Post-Workout Nutrition01:28:22 Consistency and Long-Term SuccessORDER MY BOOK HERE:⁠https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210⁠FOLLOW:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 20% off FOR LIFE⁠https://bpn.team/member⁠IG: ⁠instagram.com/nickbarefitness/⁠YT: ⁠youtube.com/@nickbarefitness

In today's Refresh Your Life meditation, you're invited to soften the pressure to "get it all together" and return to something far more sustainable: evolving at your own pace. This gentle guided practice helps you release urgency, reset your nervous system, and reconnect with the truth that growth doesn't need to be rushed to be real. You'll be guided with a steady affirmation designed to anchor you in self-trust—so you can move forward with clarity, patience, and quiet confidence. Whether you're starting over, starting fresh, or simply starting again, this is your reminder: you're allowed to unfold in your own timing. Affirmation: I evolve at my own pace. I trust my timing. I am becoming—gently, steadily, and truly. Press play when you need a reset from comparison, overwhelm, or the pressure of New Year goals—and let this meditation help you refresh your life from the inside out.

You're invited to do something every day to uplevel your life in some way. You might select one area of your life to focus on refreshing.

You'll be guided through: a short, grounding insight to create perspective a few reflective prompts to clarify what's true for you right now and a calming meditation to help you integrate the shift—so this becomes something you feel, not just something you think about This isn't about fixing yourself. You're not behind. You don't need to become someone else to have a meaningful year. This is about coming home to yourself—and gently updating the way you live, so your days match the person you're becoming. So wherever you are—making coffee, sitting in your car, walking outside, or curled up in a quiet corner—take a breath and let this be your beginning. Welcome to your refresh.

In this week's Fit Father Project Podcast, Episode 271, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with FFP member Herman Ramos. Herman is a 55-year-old father from New Jersey who transformed his health after realizing that staying “active” wasn't enough anymore. As weight slowly crept up and energy declined, Herman made a commitment to strength, structure, and long-term vitality — not for aesthetics, but for his family and future generations.Herman shares how simple, repeatable habits like intermittent fasting, two daily “perfect plates,” hydration strategies, and metabolic resistance training helped him lose over 20 pounds, shrink his waistline, and rebuild strength in his 50s. Along the way, he reflects on the emotional weight of watching his parents' health decline — and how that became fuel to rewrite his own aging story.This episode goes beyond workouts and nutrition. It's a conversation about brotherhood, discipline, fatherhood, and why men over 40 don't need perfection — they need consistency, community, and a purpose bigger than themselves.Key TakeawaysStrength after 50 requires structure, not intensityWeight loss becomes simpler when nutrition is predictableTwo “perfect plates” beats calorie obsessionWeekly 40-hour fasting as a powerful fat-loss leverHydration as a craving-control strategyMetabolic resistance training for strength, stamina, and longevityTracking workouts to see progress you feel but might missWaist size as a better metric than scale weightCommunity accountability multiplies resultsFathers train not just for themselves, but for family legacyRepurposing weakness into strength (the walker story)Consistency over perfection wins long termTry out The Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club for a buck!Go to http://go.getfreshfitfather.com to enroll in the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, pay just $1 to help cover shipping costs, and receive a complimentary full-size bottle ($39 value) of one of the greatest olive oils T.J. has ever discovered.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with publisher and entrepreneur Steven Booth to unpack why “just post consistently” can feel impossible, especially when your nervous system is already overwhelmed. This is a calm, human conversation about visibility as connection, not performance. If you're a creator, coach, author, or entrepreneur who disappears after bursts of motivation, this episode is for you. Steven shares a practical way to build sustainable consistency through low-pressure daily proof, pre-decided habits, and choosing one platform where you feel safe, so you can keep showing up without burning out. About the Guest: Steven Booth is a publisher and entrepreneur with 14 years of experience who has guided 400+ manuscripts into the world. He writes about visibility and marketing, including his book The Art of Being Found. Key Takeaways: Treat visibility like a relationship, not a performance Expect cycles (on/off phases) and plan around them Use a daily “I showed up” journal to build self-trust Make “when-then” decisions to reduce daily willpower drain Pick one platform that feels safe and stay there Misses are data, not drama, restart without shame How to Connect With the Guest https://geniuspubstudio.substack.com/  (About page has contact info) https://geniusbookpublishing.com/  Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Welcome back to the podcast Logan Parks. We cover this coming year, last year, and everything in between. 

This is the 2026 kick off, where Patrick talks about the art of choosing a single word to guide your year—a word that serves as an anchor and intention rather than a rigid resolution. The conversation begins with a look back at previous years: Consistency in 2023, which helped overcome the “light switch” tendency of starting strong and then stopping, and the lessons learned through building routines and discipline. The episode then reflects on the significance of words in shaping identity and relationships, sharing a family tradition of speaking affirmations over children each night: “We love you. We are proud of you. We believe in you.” This practice underscores the transformative power of intentional words in leadership, family, and personal growth. For 2026, Patrick's chosen word is EMBRACE—a word that calls for openness, intentionality, and wholehearted living. The host breaks down how EMBRACE aligns with the five pillars of life and leadership: Faith: Embrace trust, surrender, and God's timing. Family: Embrace presence, connection, and imperfect moments. Foundation: Embrace stability, structure, and stewardship. Leadership: Embrace influence, responsibility, and growth. Work: Embrace purpose, discipline, and opportunity. Listeners are encouraged to identify their own word for the year—a word that resonates deeply and sets the tone for growth, leadership, and impact. EMBRACE is not passive; it's an active choice to lean in, receive, and grow. Key Takeaway: Your word for the year can become a powerful compass for how you live, lead, and love. What will your word be for 2026?

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Kurt Jones. Purpose of the Interview The conversation aims to highlight the importance of mental health and wellness, particularly in the Black community, elite sports, and entrepreneurial spaces. It focuses on mental resilience, confidence building, and strategies for handling stress and setbacks, while introducing Dr. Jones’ methodology and his mission through Play 21 Wellness Academy.

Customized Approach Dr. Jones does individualized analysis and treatment plans for athletes and business professionals. Rejects “cookie-cutter” solutions—tailors strategies to personal circumstances. The Shelving Method A mental organization system with four shelves: Immediate Shelf: Urgent tasks within 24 hours. Active Shelf: Important but less urgent tasks. Holding Shelf: Items to revisit later. Elimination Shelf: Thoughts/tasks to discard permanently. Helps clients focus on the present and avoid dwelling on past mistakes. Confidence & Setbacks Confidence can collapse after major losses or failures. Strategy: Remind clients of their greatness, review past successes, and rebuild momentum. Consistency and adaptability are key to sustaining success. Play 21 Wellness Academy Founded in memory of Ben Wilson, a top basketball player and Dr. Jones’ best friend.

Upcoming Projects Book: Chi-Town Blueprints (personal story and mental resilience). Workbook on the Shelving Method for schools, universities, and professionals. Notable Quotes On Mental Health Stigma:“When people talked about mental health, the first thought was negative.” On Focus:“You can’t take the last play to the next play.” On Success:“Mental thinking is a huge part of success.” On Confidence:“Remind yourself of what got you to the point where you were winning.” On Consistency:“You’ve never seen a Brinks truck behind a funeral car—the graveyard is the richest place because people die with million-dollar dreams.” On Purpose:“Walk in your purpose. When you walk in your purpose, there’s no stopping you.” #SHMS #STRAW #BEST #AMISee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, I break down why consistency alone eventually stalls progress, and how growth actually comes from evolving the behaviors underneath it. I talk through the idea of overnight success taking 17 and a half years, why progress feels painfully slow before it suddenly accelerates, and how most people quit far earlier than they realize. We get into non negotiable behaviors, intentional daily minimums, and why two focused minutes a day can outweigh two distracted hours once a week. I also share how vulnerability requires discernment, when a story is truly yours to tell, and how protecting others matters just as much as personal truth.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” —Albert EinsteinJames 2:17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.I hope to I declare.CONSISTENCYTHE DECLARATION“This year, with God's help and the power of the Holy Spirit, I declare I will be a PERSON of CONSISTENCY, because TRANSFORMATION happens when I do consistently what others do OCCASIONALLY.”Are you consistent in the RIGHT THINGS?1 Timothy 4:7–8 MSG Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever.Romans 7:15, 18–19 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do…For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.FOUR WAYS TO GROW IN CONSISTENCY1. Start SMALLSMALL things done consistently beat BIG things done occasionally.Zechariah 4:10 Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.2. Don't GIVE UP when change is SLOWGalatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.3. Plan for FAILURE not PERFECTIONIf your aim is PERFECTION, when you mess up you'll GIVE UP.Planning to fail doesn't mean you EXPECT TO FAIL.It means you already know what you're going to do to GET BACK ON TRACK.The ENEMY is after your CONSISTENCY.Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.4. Fall in LOVE with the PROCESS“New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.”—James Clear“Success isn't when you achieve a goal in the future. Success is when you honor God today.”—Craig Groeschel Transformation happens when you do CONSISTENTLY what others do OCCASSIONALLY.CHALLENGE: What's one thing I can do to become more spiritually consistent?Hebrews 10:24–25 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together… but encouraging one another…“This year, with God's help and the power of the Holy Spirit, I declare I will be a person of consistency. Transformation happens when I do consistently what others do occasionally.”

Consistency - Robert Green by Fondren Church

Jesus didn't drift into spiritual strength—He decided to seek God.In this message, Pastor Mark Cummins explores how Jesus lived a life of intentional prayer and why that same discipline is essential for anyone who wants to follow Him today. Drawing from Mark 1, Philippians 4, Matthew 6, and multiple New Testament teachings on prayer, you'll see how consistent time with God produces peace, clarity, and transformation.God is conforming us into the image of His Son (Romans 8:29), and prayer is one of the primary ways that change happens. This message breaks down what it looks like to build a prayer life marked by: Consistency, Conversation, Communion and Change.

 Jill Lublin is a longtime publicity strategist and media expert with more than 25 years of experience helping entrepreneurs, authors, and professionals gain visibility without paying for advertising. Throughout her career, she has focused on demystifying publicity and removing financial and emotional barriers that keep people from sharing their message. Her work addresses common challenges, such as fear of visibility, unclear messaging, and the misconception that publicity requires expensive PR agencies. By reframing publicity as a skill that anyone can learn, she has helped clients turn personal stories, setbacks, and unique perspectives into compelling media features that drive credibility, trust, and business growth. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Jill Lublin explains how she helps people become their own publicity machine by focusing on clear messaging, consistency, and practical weekly actions. She emphasizes spending as little as 30 minutes a week on real visibility-building activities such as Google Alerts, responding to media requests, and booking podcast interviews, rather than relying solely on social media. She shares examples of clients who transformed their stories into primary media coverage, book sales, and consulting revenue, reinforcing that publicity multiplies reach and monetizes expertise over time. Key takeaways include saying yes to opportunities, using all parts of your story, starting local, and viewing publicity as a long-term asset that builds authority, trust, and lasting influence. Quotes: “Publicity does not have to be expensive or complicated. When you make it accessible, it becomes a powerful tool for every entrepreneur.” “Consistency and persistence create publicity. When you stay focused and keep showing up, visibility follows.” “Spend 30 minutes a week on real visibility-building activities, and you will see momentum. Publicity rewards action, not perfection.” “Publicity is a gift that keeps on giving because it multiplies you, monetizes you, and maximizes your message.” Resources: Connect with Jill Lublin on LinkedIn Get Guerrilla Publicity: Hundreds of Sure-Fire Tactics to Get Maximum Sales for Minimum Dollars on Amazon.

Episode #1079 If your relationship is on the rocks, it's tempting to go big. A new car, a luxury trip, maybe even building the dream home. But here's the hard truth trust can't be bought. In this episode, Tim and Bruce break down why trying to buy your way out of broken trust never works, and what actually does. They get into the real building blocks of trust: honesty, consistency, and accountability. This isn't about doing grand gestures. It's about showing up every day the way you said you would and owning it when you don't. They also cover a hidden dynamic most men miss: "safety tests." These are moments when your partner is checking if it's safe to open up again, often disguised as conflict. How you respond matters more than you think. Rebuilding trust takes time, and if you're feeling frustrated by how slow it's going, this episode is for you. It's not about being perfect. It's about being steady. And if you've been reacting, getting defensive, or tying your worth to her mood, this is the reset you need. Start small. Pick one thing this week you can follow through on without fail. One consistent action to prove you're serious about showing up differently. If your marriage is in a tough spot, don't wait. Get free access to the training that shows you exactly how to rebuild trust and connection without long talks or therapy. Watch it here: https://fixmarriage.thepowerfulman.com/scales

Season 14, Episode 382 reviews chapters 4–7 of Think and Grow Rich for Sales, showing how autosuggestion, specialized knowledge, imagination, and organized planning transform inner belief into consistent sales results. This episode explains practical steps to program confidence, build authority, paint future outcomes for buyers, and design repeatable sales systems that create certainty and close deals more naturally. Today EP 382 PART 2 of our Think and Grow Rich for Sales Series, we will cover: ✔ Chapter 4: Autosuggestion: How Your Inner Script Becomes Your Outer Results  Sales Application (Practical Use) Pre-call priming: Speak your outcome out loud before every call (“I bring clarity and certainty to this conversation.”) Language audit: Eliminate soft phrases (“I think,” “hopefully,” “maybe”) from your sales vocabulary. Repetition builds belief: Read your sales goals twice daily as if already achieved. Emotion matters: Read goals with feeling—belief is emotional, not intellectual. Interrupt negative mindsets: Replace “They won't buy” with “I help people make confident decisions.” Consistency over intensity: Daily repetition beats occasional motivation. Key Insight: Belief is built deliberately, not accidentally. ✔ Chapter 5: Specialized Knowledge: From Information to Authority  5 Sales Application Tips Organize your expertise into simple frameworks buyers can easily follow. Know their world better than they do—pain points, language, pressures, timing. Stop overloading: Say less, but say it with authority. Borrow brilliance: Use mentors, subject experts, and masterminds to extend your knowledge. Teach while you sell: Authority grows when you help buyers understand, not when you impress them. Key Insight: You are not selling information. You are selling guidance. ✔ Chapter 6: Imagination: Where Sales Innovation Is Born 7 Sales Application Tips Paint the “after” picture: Describe life, work, or outcomes post-solution. Use sensory language: Help them see, feel, and experience the result. Rehearse success aloud: Walk the buyer through implementation as if it's already happening. Normalize the decision: Familiarity reduces fear and resistance. Tell transformation stories: Stories activate imagination faster than facts. Slow the moment down: Imagination needs space—don't rush the close. Anchor certainty visually: “Imagine six months from now…” becomes a mental commitment. Key Insight: People don't buy solutions. They buy who they become after the solution. ✔ Chapter 7: Organized Planning: Putting Desire Into Action 6 Sales Application Tips Create a repeatable sales process you trust and follow consistently. Plan the work—then work the plan, even when results lag. Refine the plan, not the goal when setbacks occur. Prepare for objections before they arise—confidence comes from readiness. Track behaviors, not just outcomes (calls, follow-ups, conversations). Use structure to eliminate emotion-based decisions during the sales cycle. Key Insight: A plan creates certainty. Certainty creates momentum. Welcome back to our final series of SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Connecting Back to Our 6-Part Think and Grow Rich Series (2022) For today's EP 382, we continue with PART 2 of our Review of Think and Grow Rich for Sales, connecting back to our 6-PART Series from 2022[i]. Back in 2022, we didn't just read Think and Grow Rich—we lived inside it as we launched our year. Over a 6-part series that began the beginning of January 2022, we walked through this book chapter by chapter, not as theory, but as a personal operating system for growth, performance, and results. At the time, the focus of our 6 PART Series was broad. We covered: Personal development Mindset mastery Vision, purpose, and belief We covered the BASICS of this book that my mentor, Bob Proctor studied for his entire lifetime (over 50 years) that can be applied to whatever it is that you want to create with our life. Today, we are going to look at this timeless piece of knowledge, through a new lens. What we're covering today—PART 2 of our Study of Think and Grow Rich for Sales—is not new material. It's the application of this series, towards a specific discipline. You could apply this book to any discipline, but this one, I have wanted to cover for a very long time. How the 6-Part Series Maps DIRECTLY to Sales Mastery Here's the reframe that matters: Every principle we covered in 2022 becomes a sales advantage when applied correctly. Each of the 10 chapters explains how to further improve our inner state, and then we walk through how to make this change occur in our outer world, connecting each principal for the salesperson. And just a reminder that you don't need to be in sales for these principles to work for us. Think and Grow Rich for Sales How Inner Mastery Becomes Sales Results Inspired by Think and Grow Rich Through a modern neuroscience + sales lens   Chapter IV: Autosuggestion The Inner Script Behind Every Sales Call Core Idea: Your subconscious mind is always selling—either for you or against you. Sales Application: Language patterns that leak doubt Why we program confidence before the call Why tone matters more than technique Listener Takeaway: The buyer responds to your energy, not your words. Chapter IV — Autosuggestion How Your Inner Script Becomes Your Outer Results Autosuggestion is the bridge between what you think and what you experience. I first learned this concept while working with Bob Proctor in the seminar industry, and it fundamentally changed the way I understand my own personal results—both in life and in sales. At its core, autosuggestion is about creating order in the mind, (first) so your inner script consistently produces your outer results. The visual model that explains this in one simple view is the stickperson diagram, originally developed by Dr. Thurman Fleet in 1934. You'll see this image in the show notes, labeled A, B, and C. Here is what this diagram means. The Three Parts of the Mind IMAGE IDEA: From Dr. Thurman Fleet 1937 with his idea of Concept Therapy. A — Conscious Mind (Thinking Mind) This is the part of your mind you use when you are actively thinking: reading studying learning solving problems consciously making decisions This is where logic lives. B — Non-Conscious Mind (Emotional Mind) This is the most powerful part of the mind—and the most misunderstood. The non-conscious mind: accepts whatever enters it does not judge truth from falsehood operates primarily through repetition and emotion This is why: who you surround yourself with matters what you listen to matters what you repeatedly tell yourself matters Your non-conscious mind becomes the program that runs your behavior. C — Body The body is the instrument of the mind. Your body inherits what your mind expresses: thoughts affect emotions emotions affect physiology physiology affects behavior and results This is why mindset impacts: health energy confidence performance And why our thoughts, feelings and actions ultimately determine our results. They create our conditions, our circumstances and our environment. Why Autosuggestion Matters (Real Life Example) Because I learned this before I had children, I became extremely intentional about what was playing in the background of our home. News, negativity, and fear-based messaging go straight into the non-conscious mind—especially when the mind is in a submissive state, such as: early childhood (when your mind is wide open) right before sleep also while eating when relaxed or emotionally open This state of mind doesn't just affect children. It affects adults too. What we repeatedly hear becomes how we feel—and eventually how we act. This is why autosuggestion is not wishful thinking. It is mental conditioning. Autosuggestion and Alignment (Praxis) When your thoughts, feelings and emotions are aligned, you enter a state called praxis—the point where belief and behavior match. How do we enter this state? By: writing your goals reading them aloud repeating them twice daily you gradually impress belief onto the non-conscious mind. Over time: belief strengthens faith develops behavior shifts automatically Eventually, you don't have to force confidence. It becomes natural. Beyond the Five Senses: The Higher Faculties Before moving into Chapter V — Specialized Knowledge, it's important to introduce one of the most overlooked ideas Napoleon Hill emphasized: It's the 6 higher faculties of the mind. If you revisit Episode #67[ii], I explain how living only through our five senses can limit results. Our five senses are connected to the conscious mind. But beyond them lie six higher faculties, including: imagination intuition perception will reason memory Hill believed intuition and imagination were so powerful that he devoted entire chapters to them. These faculties allow us to: access deeper insight perceive what others miss gain a competitive advantage Intuition: A Sales Superpower If I had to choose three higher faculties most useful in sales for us to develop, they would be: intuition perception will Let's focus on intuition. Intuition is the mental tool that allows you to feel truth: a gut sense an inner knowing a subtle emotional signal It develops with practice—and trust. Putting Intuition Into Action (Sales) When you're presenting to someone, intuition answers questions like: Are they engaged, but holding a question? Do they need more information—or less? Is it time to continue… or time to ask for the decision? Highly intuitive sales professionals can sense: certainty hesitation trust resistance —even without being in the same room with this person. Sales at Its Highest Level This brings us back to Paul Martinelli's reminder: “Sales at its highest level is the transference of emotion. And the primary emotion is certainty.” When intuition is developed, you know: when certainty has been transferred when the buyer is ready when the close is natural Eventually, as your higher faculties become conditioned through autosuggestion, you access them automatically—without effort or overthinking. Closing Thought — Chapter IV: Autosuggestion Autosuggestion is not about forcing belief. It's about training alignment. When your thoughts, emotions, and actions match: confidence becomes automatic intuition sharpens results follow naturally Your inner script always becomes your outer results. And that's why autosuggestion is not optional. It's foundational. Chapter V: Specialized Knowledge Why Authority Always Outsells Enthusiasm Core Idea: Knowledge only becomes power when it's organized and applied. Sales Application: Moving from “presenter” to trusted expert Leading the conversation instead of reacting Why winging it destroys certainty Listener Takeaway: Mastery creates calm authority. Chapter V — Specialized Knowledge Why Expertise—Not Information—Creates Sales Success To further refine what we want to achieve, Chapter 5 of Think and Grow Rich introduces a critical distinction: not all knowledge is created equally. Napoleon Hill explains that it is specialized knowledge—not general knowledge—that separates you from everyone else and makes you valuable. Knowledge alone, Hill reminds us, is only potential power. “Knowledge (general or specialized) must be organized and intelligently directed, and is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action and directed to a definite end.” (Chapter V, p. 79, TAGR) In other words: Information does nothing on its own. Application is everything. Why This Matters (Education vs. Application) This becomes clear when we think about formal education. Much of what we learn in school is general knowledge—useful only if we apply it in a specific way. Hill calls this the missing link in education: “The failure of educational institutions is that it fails to teach students HOW TO ORGANIZE AND USE KNOWLEDGE after they acquire it.” (Chapter V, p. 80, TAGR) This insight alone explains why so many intelligent people struggle to produce results—especially in sales. They know a lot, but they haven't organized that knowledge into a repeatable system of action. Henry Ford and the Myth of ‘Not Being Educated' Henry Ford is Hill's perfect example. Ford famously said he had a row of buttons on his desk—buttons he could press to access any knowledge he needed. He didn't need to personally possess all information. He needed to know: where to get it who to ask how to apply it Hill wrote: “Any person is educated who knows where to get knowledge when needed, and how to organize that knowledge into definite plans of action.” (Chapter V, p. 81, TAGR) Through his Master Mind, Ford had access to all the specialized knowledge required to become one of the wealthiest men in America. This is a critical lesson for sales professionals: You do not need to know everything. You need to know what matters most, and how to apply it. Why Some Ideas Succeed and Others Don't This principle explains why some books—and businesses—succeed at extraordinary levels while others, though insightful, fall short. Take Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Its impact wasn't just the ideas—it was the framework. Covey gave readers clear steps for how to apply each habit in real life. Contrast that with Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now. An incredible book, (I love this book- I own it-and it's on my bookshelf). It's rich in insight—but for many readers, it's difficult to apply without additional guidance or structure. The difference is not wisdom. It's organized, specialized knowledge. “Knowledge is not power until it is organized into definite plans of action.” (Chapter V, p. 80, TAGR) What ‘Educated' Really Means Hill reminds us that education does not mean memorization or credentials. The word educate comes from the Latin educo, meaning: to draw out to develop from within An educated person is not someone with the most information—but someone who has developed the faculties of their mind to acquire, apply, and direct knowledge effectively. This is where Specialized Knowledge intersects with: imagination intuition perception will —faculties we explored earlier in the series. Chapter V Specialized Knowledge Applied to Sales In sales, Specialized Knowledge looks like this: Knowing your customer's world, not just your product Understanding patterns in their world that match with yours, not scripts that lack meaning Being able to simplify complexity for the buyer Organizing your knowledge into a repeatable sales process This is what creates authority. When something comes naturally to you—but amazes others—you are operating in specialized knowledge. That's where confidence comes from. That's where trust is built. That's where sales success compounds. How to Use Specialized Knowledge to Reach New Heights (Sales Tips) 1. Identify What You Do Naturally Well Ask yourself: What do people come to me for? What feels obvious to me but confusing to others? That's your starting point for specialization. 2. Organize Your Knowledge into a Framework Turn what you know into: a process a checklist a conversation flow Frameworks build confidence—for you and the buyer where you can point to them clearly where they are in the process, showing them how to move to where they want to go. 3. Learn Continuously—but Selectively Don't collect information. Acquire purposeful knowledge aligned to your goal. Ask: Does this help me serve better? Does this help my buyer decide? 4. Use a Master Mind No top performer succeeds alone. Surround yourself with: mentors peers coaches Borrow knowledge, insight, and certainty with every action that you take. 5. Apply, Review, Refine Specialized knowledge compounds only when used. Apply what you learn. Review results. Refine your approach. This is how expertise is built. Final Insight — Chapter V: Specialized Knowledge Sales success does not come from knowing more. It comes from knowing what matters, organizing it into action, and applying it consistently. When Specialized Knowledge is combined with Imagination, it creates something powerful: A unique and successful business. And this brings us naturally to the next chapters—where imagination, planning, and decision transform knowledge into results. Chapter VI: Imagination Selling the Future Before the Close                  Core Idea: People buy future identity, not features. Sales Application: Painting the “after” state Emotional buy-in before logical justification Don't quit when you are at “3 Feet from Gold” (Chapter 1, TAGR, Page 5). Listener Takeaway People don't buy solutions. They buy who they become after the solution. And it is the salesperson's role to activate the buyer's imagination—to help them see themselves on the other side of the decision. This brings us back to Paul Martinelli's reminder: “Sales at its highest level is the transference of emotion. And the primary emotion is certainty.” Imagination is what creates that certainty. Before a buyer can feel certain, they must first imagine the outcome: life after their problem is solved success after the decision is made themselves operating at a higher level When imagination is engaged, certainty follows. And when certainty is present, the decision becomes natural. Can you see how all of these success principles tie into each other? Like the colors of the rainbow. Chapter VI: Imagination Review of Chapter VI — Our Imagination “Imagination is everything,” according to American author and radio speaker Earl Nightingale, who devoted much of his work to human character development, motivation, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. Every great invention is created in two places: first in the mind of the inventor, and then in the physical world when the idea is brought into form. Our lives reflect how effectively we use our imagination. When we reach a plateau of success, it is not effort alone that takes us to the next level—it is imagination. Imagination allows us to see beyond our current circumstances and envision what is possible next. This is why creating a crystal-clear vision is so important. When we write and read our vision twice a day, we intentionally activate our imagination. Writing and reading that vision in detail stimulates recognition centers in the brain. What may initially feel unrealistic or even like a “pipe dream” begins to feel familiar. Over time, the brain accepts it as something possible—something achievable. Eventually, what once felt distant becomes something you can see yourself doing. And then, one day, what you imagined becomes your reality. When you look at the world through this lens, it's remarkable to consider how much has changed in just the last 50 years—and how quickly that pace is accelerating. These new innovations began in someone's mind first. The most recent leap forward is with artificial intelligence, but it follows the same pattern as every major breakthrough before it. Someone first imagined a world where: Amazon would dominate retail while owning almost no physical stores Uber would transform transportation while owning almost no cars Facebook would scale globally while creating no content Airbnb would become a hospitality giant while owning no real estate Netflix would redefine entertainment without being a TV channel Bitcoin would create value without physical coins Each of these began as an idea before evidence—a vision before execution. The same principle applies to our goals, our careers, and our success. Everything we create begins with imagination. When imagination is paired with belief, intention, and action, it becomes a powerful force that shapes not only individual outcomes, but the direction of the world itself.   Closing Thought — Chapter VI Imagination is not fantasy. It is the starting point of all progress. What you are able to imagine clearly today is what you are capable of creating tomorrow. How to Use Imagination for Sales Success Turning Possibility into Certainty 1. Understand the Role of Imagination in Sales Imagination is not fantasy. In sales, imagination is pre-decision certainty. Before a buyer can decide, they must first: see a different future feel themselves in it believe it is attainable Your job as the salesperson is to guide that mental rehearsal. People don't buy products. They buy the future version of themselves (with the certainty that you paint for them). 2. Imagine the Outcome Before the Buyer Does Top sales professionals do not start with features. They start with vision. Before the call, ask yourself: Who does my buyer become after the purchase? What changes in their day-to-day life? What problem is no longer taking up mental space? How you can support and guide them in this process. If you cannot imagine the outcome clearly, your buyer won't either.

Consistency improves when fitness stops depending on daily decisions. Many people lose momentum because every workout, meal, and adjustment requires fresh effort. Progress becomes steadier when key choices are made ahead of time and repeated without debate.

Step into day 2 of the new year, the moment when New Year motivation can fade and real life returns. In this guided meditation and ceremony, you'll choose a powerful Word of the Year and turn it into a practical, heart-centered plan you can actually live. You'll learn the psychology of fresh starts (why New Year's creates a real "reset" in the brain), how values-aligned intentions lead to deeper well-being, and why tiny "if–then" plans can make your new theme stick. You'll be guided through calming slow breathing, a candlelit "Bless the Word" ritual, and a comforting story that reframes success as devotion—not pressure. If you're craving a peaceful, grounded way to begin the year, this is your gentle next step: nurture your nervous system, nurture your values, and nurture the life you're growing—one small act at a time.

Reflection is the cheat code most people skip, and it's the very thing that turns a good year into a great life. Before charging into 2026 with more goals, more pressure, and more noise, I wanted to pause, look back, and extract the lessons that actually mattered. Because progress doesn't come from moving faster, it comes from moving forward with clarity.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down 25 Terrific Takeaways from 2025, all through the lens of our S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N framework, the 10 alignments that help you systematically harmonize ambition and well-being. These aren't fluffy ideas or motivational quotes. These are lived lessons. Wins, mistakes, reminders, and truths that shaped my year, and if applied intentionally, can help make 2026 your most aligned, energized, and fulfilling year yet.We start with Selfless Service, because fulfillment doesn't come from accumulation; it comes from contribution. The biggest reminder here? Service is the fastest path to meaning. Giving your time, not just your money, creates real presence, real connection, and real impact. If you want more joy, help more people. It's that simple.From there, we move into Optimized Health, because energy is the real currency of success. Hustling without health always ends in burnout. Your nervous system sets your income ceiling, recovery is a skill (not a reward), and if you don't protect your energy, no amount of productivity hacks will save you. Health isn't a side quest; it's the foundation.Next up is Digital Unplugging, where I get real about distraction, doom-scrolling, and how constant connection is quietly killing creativity. Attention is your most valuable asset, and what you focus on compounds. Creating boundaries with technology isn't about restriction; it's about freedom.When it comes to Loving Relationships, the lesson is clear: success means nothing if you're disconnected from the people you love. Presence beats presents. Dating your spouse matters. Boundaries are love in action. The moments you protect today become the memories that matter tomorrow.In Mindful Spirituality, I share how alignment starts with something bigger than you. Success without purpose feels empty. Stillness creates clarity. Gratitude rewires the brain. Faith, however you define it, provides an anchor when life gets noisy.We then dive into Abundant Financial, where money is reframed as a tool, not a scorecard. Profit creates peace. Lifestyle design beats lifestyle inflation. Generosity unlocks abundance. When money aligns with values, it becomes a vehicle for freedom rather than stress.With Personal Development, the reminder is simple but powerful: who you become determines what you build. Identity precedes behavior. Consistency beats intensity. Reflection accelerates growth. The goal isn't perfection, it's persistent alignment.Passionate Hobbies get their rightful place too, because joy isn't a distraction, it's fuel. Play makes you better at work. You need something in your life that has nothing to do with money. Fun isn't optional; it's strategic.In Impactful Work, clarity creates cash, community is the new moat, and depth beats diversification. Focus compounds. Shiny objects dilute momentum. Doing meaningful work with people you care about is the real flex.And finally, Nature Connection, the ultimate reset button. Time outdoors lowers stress, restores perspective, and reconnects you to what actually matters. Nature doesn't rush, yet everything gets done.The big takeaway? Alignment is the goal. When you align across these 10 areas, success becomes sustainable. More is the myth. Meaning is the shift. And if you build meaning into your days, 2026 won't just look good on paper, it'll feel damn good to live.Let's make this next year your most intentional, fulfilling, and aligned year yet.Keep putting the happy in your hustle.

Today's episode is a recast of Part 2 of our 2022 series entitled: 7 Essential Anxiety Disruptors For Families. [Listen to last week's episode for a recast of Part 1 and continue with Part 3 here: The 7 Anxiety Disruptors For Families: #3 get uncomfortable on purpose] Externalizing worry (and other strong emotions) teaches children and parents to take a step back and notice HOW worry and other big feelings operate. Changing the response to worry (instead of changing the environment to meet anxiety's demands) is a powerful skill. Consistency and practice are key, and Lynn talks about how to explain and use externalizing in your family to promote emotional intelligence and management. These skills are relevant for kids and adults. WE'VE MADE PLAYLISTS OF OUR EPISODES TO HELP YOU FIND RESOURCES ON SPECIFIC TOPICS. Here is our first: For those brand new to the podcast, we suggest starting with this playlist featuring Lynn Lyons and the 7-part anxiety disruptor series as well as a 3-part series on the skills most helpful in managing anxious kids: flexibility, problem solving, and autonomy.

Thanks to our Partners, Shop Dog Marketing, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode Recorded Live at AAPEX 2025, this episode tackles the classic “chicken or the egg” challenge for auto repair shop owners: should the focus be on marketing to generate work or recruiting technicians to handle it? The answer is simple—both. Sustainable growth requires managing two throttles at once: marketing and recruitment. Neither can be set and forgotten. Key takeaways include reframing the role as a high tech career with clear advancement paths, adopting an “always be recruiting” mindset, and not judging candidates by resumes alone. Many capable technicians want to move but are emotionally stuck due to fear, loyalty, or past instability. Long-term retention depends on engagement and making employees feel like part of the business, not just workers in it. Consistency is critical, as marketing and recruiting take time to gain traction and lose momentum quickly when stopped. A shop's website should double as a recruiting tool, confidently showcasing employees, culture, and benefits. Ultimately, the challenge lies in the demanding nature of shop ownership. Owners tend to protect what's working instead of continually investing in the systems—marketing and recruiting—that ensure long-term stability and growth.

Today's guest is Dustin Oranchuk, Ph.D. Dustin is a sport scientist focused on sprinting biomechanics, speed development, and force production. Known for blending research with practical coaching insight, his work explores how isometrics, elasticity, and coordination shape high-performance sprinting and athletic movement. Isometric training is one of the “original” forms of strength training, and in the modern day has become one of the most popular areas of discussion and training methodology. Although the practice has exploded, it often lacks an understanding of physiology of adaptation with various methods. In this episode, Dustin explores the evolving world of isometric training, including the origins of isometrics. We discuss differences between pushing and holding contractions, tendon and neural adaptations, and modern applications in performance, rehab, and longevity. The conversation also dives into eccentric quasi-isometrics (EQIs), motivation and measurement challenges, and how coaches can intelligently integrate isometrics alongside plyometrics and traditional strength work.

Early isometric systems emphasized position specific strength over movement. Modern usage has expanded beyond barbell sports into rehab and longevity. 8:38 Modern Applications of Isometrics Isometrics are now widely used to “own positions” across joint angles. Longer duration holds are frequently used for tissue health and rehab. Training intent has shifted from peak strength toward durability and resilience. 9:52 Neural vs. Morphological Adaptations Short range, position specific isometrics bias neural intent and coordination. Long muscle length isometrics bias hypertrophy and tendon adaptation. Choose isometric type based on whether the goal is performance transfer or tissue change. 15:45 The Importance of Long Holds Tendons require relatively high intensity to meaningfully adapt. Long holds help reveal side to side asymmetries and control deficits. Extended holds build tolerance and confidence in vulnerable joint positions. 19:42 Combining Isometrics and Plyometrics Pairing isometrics and plyometrics can produce modest additive benefits. Combining methods may reduce fatigue compared to doing each alone. The interaction may enhance effort quality rather than purely physiological output. 39:22 Exploring Eccentric Quasi Isometrics EQIs combine a maximal hold followed by forced eccentric lengthening. They accumulate large time under tension and eccentric impulse. EQIs are powerful but mentally taxing and difficult to sustain long term. 47:10 Periodization and Isometric Training Use longer, lower intensity holds earlier in the offseason. Progress toward shorter, higher intensity, position specific isometrics near competition. Post game isometrics can support recovery without additional joint stress. 1:05:48 Future Research Directions Measurement technology has driven the resurgence of isometrics. Push versus hold distinctions are becoming a key research focus. Future work aims to clarify muscle and tendon behavior during isometric intent. 1:13:00 Closing Thoughts and Reflections Consistency with foundational exercises drives long term progress. Isometrics are tools, not replacements for dynamic training. Coaches should match the method to the goal, not the trend. Quotes from Dustin Oranchuk “Tendons tend to need a certain threshold of intensity to get meaningful adaptations.” “The maximal amount of force you can push is almost always more than what you can hold.” “Isometrics let you own positions rather than just pass through them.” “Long holds are a great diagnostic tool for finding asymmetries.” “EQIs are effective, but they are very hard to push hard and regularly.” “Use the best tool for the job rather than trying to blend everything together.” “Consistency beats constantly reinventing your training approach.” “Isometrics compress joint motion so other systems can recover and adapt.” “Intent matters just as much as the muscle action itself.” “You do not need complexity to get strong adaptations over time.” About Dustin Oranchuk Dustin Oranchuk, PhD, is a sport scientist specializing in speed development, biomechanics, and force production in sprinting and jumping. He holds a doctorate in sport science and has worked extensively with elite athletes across track and field, team sports, and high-performance environments. Dustin is widely known for his research-informed yet practical approach to sprint mechanics, isometric training, and elastic performance, bridging laboratory insights with real-world coaching application. Through consulting, research, and education, he helps coaches and athletes better understand how force, stiffness, and coordination influence maximal speed and performance.

Chaos isn't a workload problem—it's a consistency problem.Many real estate professionals find themselves stuck in a reactionary cycle—busy when business is flowing, scrambling when it slows down, and constantly feeling like they're either catching up or falling behind.In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett break down why that cycle exists and how to step off it.This conversation is about implementation and ownership. Not doing more. Not chasing new tactics. Instead, let's build consistency through daily routines, intentional planning, and protecting the non-urgent actions that quietly create long-term results.You'll learn how to move from reacting to your business to leading it, why urgency often crowds out what actually matters, and how consistent execution creates stability in both your business and your life. Whether you're coming off a strong end to the year or starting fresh, this episode will help you take control of the year ahead with clarity and intention.

In this episode of the Conquer Athlete podcast, Ryan Bucciantini and Jason Leydon discuss the current state of affiliate programming in the fitness industry. They explore how the rise of standardized programming from major companies may be stifling creativity and individuality in gym programming. The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding the specific needs and demographics of gym members, referred to as the 'avatar', and how tailored programming can lead to better outcomes for clients. They also highlight the significance of simplicity in program design, arguing that effective training does not need to be complex. The conversation wraps up with a call to action for gym owners to focus on their ideal clients and create an environment that caters to their needs. Takeaways Affiliate programming may be killing creativity in gyms. Understanding your gym's avatar is crucial for success. Not all gym owners need to write their own programs. Tailored programming leads to better client outcomes. Simplicity in program design is often more effective.

#908 Like me, thousands of people started online businesses after getting laid off in 2008. In fact, there were hundreds of us specifically teaching entrepreneurship around that time. But why am I one of the few who are still around in this space now? The answer is actually really simple. I just never stopped showing up. That's right. For the most part, talent and luck will never beat consistency. It's the one thing we have complete control over and the top factor that determines if we succeed or fail. That's why today's episode contains a hard truth you need to hear. As we're going into 2026, I'll give you the tough love that can help you avoid quitting too soon. So don't miss this session and my 30-day video challenge for a chance to prove you have the persistence it takes to succeed!

Close the year with a soothing New Year's Eve meditation ceremony designed to help you release what no longer serves you, reflect on what truly mattered, and step gently into a fresh beginning. In this episode, you'll be guided through a calming yet powerful meditation and a simple end-of-year ritual to create real emotional closure, and a warm, inspiring story to remind you that you don't have to "fix" yourself—you're simply clearing the lens so your inner light can shine.
