Podcasts about dream building

In this episode of Develop This, Dennis Fraise and Mark Perna discuss the importance of building one's dreams at any stage of life. They explore the distinction between interest and passion, emphasizing that while interest can be easily found, passion is cultivated over time through resilience and commitment. The conversation also highlights the significance of engagement and self-motivation in creating a competitive advantage in both personal and professional realms. Mark shares his philosophy of embracing discomfort and daring to dream, encouraging listeners to take actionable steps toward their goals. Competitive Advantage Track  Takeaways You're either building your dream or someone else's. Life really begins when you carve out time for yourself. Interest is something you can trip over; passion is built over time. Show up five minutes early, stay five minutes late, and care. Be so good they can't ignore you. Dare to dream and embrace discomfort. You have all the time that there is; it's how you use it that matters. To stand out, do what others won't do. Say yes, and then figure out how. Inspiring young people is critically important for economic development.

This is your host, Melissa Lorena. So today's episode is really a reflection on a quote, a life update, and a reading of the introduction of my book, fertile imagination. I think as we draw near to the 1st of January in a month, I wanted to just kind of do a little bit of self reflection because I Do not even believe in January one goals and resolutions. Instead, I believe in making a decision today. Now this moment, even if everything doesn't seem comfy. So I was listening this weekend to a podcast by Gabby Reese, who clearly is very, very like myself. She's over six feet tall. She was a supermodel in her heyday. She's an. Athlete, volleyball pro player, you know, kind of like the opposite of who I was and who I am. I am like five feet tall, last kid to be picked at the gym for any team sport and athlete and pro is not in my vernacular, but I do like the word vernacular. So I was a bit more of a, um, cerebral entity, I guess you could say.  And when I was listening to her podcast, which is really about, you know, making sure that you're optimizing for your health, when you are either a perimenopausal, menopausal, et cetera, I really grabbed onto a quote that she said, she actually says over and over in her house. And by the way, her house is not just like Gabby Reese and some random. guy and three girls. No, her house is Gabby Reese, pro volleyball player and layered Hamilton because he is an ultra surfer, extreme athlete himself. And I'm sure probably towering over Gabby Reese. So, all right, let's get to the quote that is constantly articulated in their home.  Never let your successes be bigger than your dreams. When Gabby Reese shared that, I really swallowed quite hard because I thought to myself, the amount of fricking effort that I have had to put in order to make my successes Come true  have been fricking extraordinary. And you probably feel the same way. If you are into success, accomplishing, having some source of significance. So in my mind, I. Immediately went to, as an example, pursuing business school. Now I was not, am not, and will never be a quant person. I'm not into like math Excel. I think if you've been around for a little bit on this podcast, you know, that I have a disdain for Microsoft Excel. Um, but you know, whatever I honor those who use it. The whole point is I think I had like five or six cavities in my business school experience because of the number of granola bars that I was chewing on in order to get through working through all of that quant work in such a competitive environment. I certainly gained weight because that's what happens when you're just Eating granola bars, but then on top of that, like it was extraordinary of the effort that I had to put forth in order to complete my degree. And I had to complete my degree. I didn't see this as a nice to have, could I stretch it, et cetera, et cetera. No, I was on a scholarship and like, I needed to fix what I had kind of created, which was this desire and need to fix Feel more fully baked and get my degree. All of that to say, I was like, Holy cow. I didn't have three kids back then. And that was a shit ton of effort. So here's Gabby Reese saying never let your successes be bigger than your dreams.  Wow.  I literally have my book right next to me and I'm thinking to myself, holy mother of guacamole. It took two years for me to write fertile imagination, a guide for stretching every mom's superpower for maximum impact. I would say that is my more recent success. It took two years and it's so interesting because I started it in Australia while we were there for about three and a half years and finished it here in Austin, Texas. And I will say that if getting my business school degree, um, resulted in five to six cavities, trust me, my dentist can certainly show you the receipts for that. Then getting my book definitely done as a self. Published author from the beginning to the end that actually led me to the eye doctor, physical therapist, and God knows what else I had to go through in order to fix what I had to do. Sort of created, which was some issues because I was looking at the screen for way too long at the tail end, trying to finish my book with copy editing, um, being kind of put up against the wall to figure out what needed to get done as soon as possible within a short period of time and in a very unpredictable way. So, okay. It seems to me that for me personally, I don't know about for yourself and you might want to really give this a thought, but like for you, like think about your very last success, like for real, think about the amount of effort that it took in order for you to accomplish that success. Okay. Take a big, deep breath. Now, Can you imagine something that is bigger to pursue or to become in 2025? And right now I'm recording this on December two, and I wanted to just be mindful of the fact that I get that January one is that time and we're like, Oh, all of a sudden I never was, but I can actually become this person on January two, but I want you to just. Think through your prior successes. I really want you to dig deep and really figure out for yourself, what did it take? What sacrifices did you have to make? What is it that you had to say no to in order to say yes to your self and your ambitions? And here's what I know to be true with regards to any success I have had.  The unfortunate thing is that the world doesn't stop when I, all of a sudden, write down a goal. Instead, the world keeps worlding, for lack of a better word choice, and basically stuff happens in your favor and some stuff happens in a way that makes your goals harder to achieve. And the idea is you have to keep going, no matter what, whether you're in that up or you're in that down. So now as you consider the fact that your successes have to be, um, smaller than your dreams. Oh my gosh. So. Like where's this extra effort and energy going to come from? Like, that's a question I ask myself all the time because yeah, I'm a morning person this morning. I was singing from West side story. I feel pretty because I was just feeling happy today, but, but I know for a fact, when it comes down to executing on some of my ambitions, like. It's not glamorous. Like right now I was like, okay, let me create a landing page. Holy cow. Now I have to go onto this platform and relearn it because I did not have a landing page done in some time. And that is where you get some sort of resistance, right? That's where you kind of feel like, ah, crap, this dream doesn't feel so exciting anymore. Anyway. So I want to leave you with this thought. Because I want this to be brief. So my book, fertile imagination, the entire concept is about figuring out where you are going to find that energy, where you are going to get that life force, where you are going to get that spirit, that enthusiasm, that excitement to actually execute on your dreams, which as Gabby Reese said, should be bigger than your successes. And it's like, holy cow, maybe Maybe it's just these like, you know, strivers in us that kind of intimidate ourselves. But man, if I have to have more energy than I've had in the past, I feel like I myself need to reread what I wrote in my book, fertile imagination. And so I want to leave you with that. I'm going to go ahead.  and read to you the introduction of my book, fertile imagination in the show notes, you can absolutely purchase your copy for yourself or a friend. Here's that link in case you're not looking at your device. It's B I T dot L Y. forward slash fertile book and you could go ahead and purchase a copy of fertile imagination right there that'll be in the show notes again it's it's a bitly link so bit. ly forward slash fertile book  but right now i want to just read this to us i want to read this to us because this is a A really great starting point. If your  dreams have to be bigger than your successes and you're trying to figure out how the heck you're going to get the energy, enthusiasm and motivation to execute on these dreams in 2025. So here we go. Just think about this, like reading rainbow, but you know, I'm not LeVar. So here we go. Lessons in an imagination superpower from my podcast guests and me. And this is again, just the introduction. So I do invite you to purchase the book fertile imagination. The link will be in the show notes. It's also on Amazon as well. Whoever thought mom jeans would be in style again, you know, the ones They seem to rise up to your armpits when I see them on young childless girls. I squint to see if I can imagine them looking remotely cool on me. My Puerto Rican ass would fill the entire real estate of their extra long height from crotch to above my navel area. I'm not yet convinced this will look flattering. Can I pull it off? My waist is small, especially for someone who has three kids. I'm still curious if I could make mom jeans look un mom like.  I just never imagined that moms could set trends for anyone without kids. I have filled the past 11 years with a mental game to see how un mom like and sometimes un Melissa like I can design my life. I wanted to reframe what I'd seen or been told a mom should do. What about all of the other identities I had before becoming a parent? Was I relegated to burying them along with my, my placenta back in 2011? By the way, that was a powerful placenta. I had identical twins in 2013 and they were sharing one placenta.  This is the thing.  My  so funny. I go ahead and I decided to skip my  desire to not act like a mom is making for a magnificent life. It's enhanced my family's experiences and expanded what they think is possible too. As I reflect on the crazy things I've done and continue to do, I'm feeling kind of confident that perhaps I can work it in mom jeans, even if it's only in my imagination, seemingly mine has gotten quite. Fertile, a sense of wonder, access to wisdom, limitless energy, a willingness to dream and a playful spirit culminating in bursts of daily fulfillment. This book, fertile imagination is for moms who want them back. Maybe it's been a while since you felt like you were back. bursting out of your skin with hope and expectancy with your own ambitions. If this is the case, then I have great news for you. You are in the right place. This book is for moms who refuse to buy into the BS that being a mom means stomping on their personal ambitions, unless they are directly tied to the happiness of their kids. Once you relied on your dreams and big ambitions to feel alive, your dreams may have been your life. Force. Heck, your dreams may have made you bounce out of bed without an alarm clock. This book is for you. If you feel you have lost the greatest parts of your before kids life,  if this is where you are today, then I want to help you transform from feeling limited by your inherited motherhood scripts, quote unquote, to being excited and thrilled by life. Imagine feeling as Jack up in a good way for yourself as you do when your least athletic kid scores a goal at soccer one glorious Saturday.  You deserve to feel that wide eyed, hopeful, and tickled hot pink about the possibilities. This is the book I needed when I paired motherhood with entrepreneurship 11 years ago. I think it's been 13 now. In my case, I was so desperate to hang on. My pre mom dreams and desires that I determinedly set out to discover what I could do, even if that meant bringing my kid squarely attached to my nipple to a prospective client meeting. I'll save that story for later. I'm convinced moms may have just misplaced these things along with their house keys. Chances are you can find them by retracing your steps. The best way to achieve this is to engage an imagination, your own, the ones around you. Or your kids  in new, unexpected, yet practical ways, ways that fit for us moms, whose minds are full of internal dialogue and need a spark to untangle what matters most. Since 2011, as a coach to many moms, untangling what matters most has meant helping them decipher decipher what other people expected of them and what they really wanted for themselves. Once this knot is smoothed out. It becomes possible for my clients to focus on best how best to use their distinguishable gifts for maximum impact.  This clarity inspires my clients to then share their ideas with other people. As I reflected on the specific ways that worked for me, along with the key lessons I tailored into my life, I uncovered my signature method of coaching, both myself and others, my imagination to impact method, which includes three stages into which I've divided this book. You can follow them sequentially or skip ahead. Let's walk through the three stages to rediscover and fuel your imagination. Quick Pause. The reason why I wanted to read the introduction of my book right now is because when I heard Gabby Reese say that quote, never let your successes be bigger than your dreams. And I noticed the gap of like, how the heck am I going to get the energy to dream bigger than my prior successes?  This is the first idea I had. I was like, you know what?  I wrote about this in fertile imagination and fertile imagination itself. The book is one of my greatest successes personally, as someone who struggled with writing early on. So again, I just want to invite you to truly, truly, truly reflect on your successes, but that I want you to feel like you have a tool, your fertile imagination to help you dream Even fricking bigger in 2025. So let's get cracking. Let's get through the three stages that you need to rediscover and feel your fertile imagination, because you know what your fertile imagination is your superpower, dear mama, it absolutely is. And it's mine as well. And this is a reminder to myself too. So here we go. A fertile imagination can cast a powerful and compelling vision that will drive you to turn it into your reality, even if it's never been imagined as possible for mothers before. It produces fertile ideas whose impact can transcend generations. This superpower is versatile. It has revitalized flat out tired moms to enable them to tandem nurse twins for one year. Yeah, that was me. It has come up with unexpected strategies that have helped creative entrepreneurs bounce back, and it has helped generate visionary ideas to sustain the pace necessary to lead massive global efforts. The route to your fertile imagination can be found by First, focusing on ways to reawaken your imagination, which takes building awareness of why it's been missing or more like hibernating along with why it might not want to wake up. If fertile imagination requires a favorable environment to sprout its best ideas, you'll want to set your internal environment in particular  for the greatest benefit. possible harvest.  Second, once you've revived your original playdate, your fertile imagination, you will want to play with your imagination. You'll have ample opportunities to engage it, it in novel and unexpected ways to uncover what you'd like to experience more of in your life. The key is to plant several seeds in the best environment possible to see which show signs of the greatest growth. In this case, growth includes feeling positive emotions, including excitement and presence, essentially experiencing what your kids feel when they are playing. You know, what's really interesting as I'm reading this, I'm like, holy cow, this is biblical, A, B, and it's aligned with some frameworks that I am playing with right now.  Anyways, I digress. The third stage is to stretch your imagination. And here's what I know to be true. So I'm kind of getting outside of this copy, but what I know to be true is that as a mom, you might feel stretched from a mental bandwidth perspective. That is not at all what I'm doing, but I am playing with that concept. When I say stretch your imagination, what I'm saying here is that kind of like silly putty. Like I want you to really stretch it out and help it almost take new shapes. And the way to do that is by sharing your ideas with other people in that way. You can absolutely reshape whatever idea you might have to make it fit. Some sort of greater purpose and really help you create a maximum impact. And this is what it takes to stretch your imagination. This takes learning how to creatively gather the support of others so that you can make the biggest possible difference with your ideas. Imagine making a bigger mark on the world than you ever thought possible.  Let's go back to Gabby Reese's quote. Never let your successes be bigger than your dreams. There are seasons of motherhood.  Amen, sister. You may feel as if you've fallen behind your ambitions during busy ones. This is why it's important to find ways or get tools so you can sprint toward your dreams during the steadier mom life moments. And I want you to really think that through because  Right now, you know, they, they coined December, Maycember, and it's really busy right now for moms. So this might not be your moment, but maybe when the kids go back to school in 2025, maybe that is the right time. Now your fertile imagination to get back into the introduction has its best shot at impacting future generations. If you commit to experiencing all three stages to maximize your own impact. You want your kids to achieve greatness on their terms. The best path is to learn how to use your photo imagination to achieve greatness on your terms. First,  want to see what that looks like  within each stage to help you tap into the power of your imagination. I'm going to share some stories with you. You can expect to hear about my outrageous adventures, the result of unleashing my imagination and going for it. Some are the opposite of anyone's expectations of a mom with three school age boys. I've also included surprising stories from my podcast. I have been producing mom founder imagination hub since 2017. It's a place where I. I'm going to explore with my guests, a whole range of wellbeing topics aimed at supporting entrepreneurial moms who want to get more out of life. I have interviewed incredible people whose adventures and achievements were enabled by their chutzpah and very fertile imaginations. I'm going to tell you more about how I started my podcast as you read on, but as expected or as unexpected as it may sound, I believe. I believe us moms can learn a lot about achieving personal fulfillment and happiness from people who are not moms, not from our country of origin, outside of our socioeconomic group and completely unfamiliar with our situation. I'm never going to suggest that non moms, that non moms get a say on how you should be a mom. My intention behind including non moms is to challenge you to set aside the baggage that came with taking on your mom identity and talk about.  How to go to the edges of what is possible. The idea is for you to get buck naked. It should be okay for a mom to step away from the expectations of society, culture, and conventional thinking. I want to help you have the best shot at teaching your fullest or reaching your fullest capacity on this planet.  Whew,  we're almost there, my beautiful listeners. Some of my personal accomplishments since becoming a mom were never on my menu of options based on what I was told. If I'm being honest, which I don't even know why I wrote that because I don't like that phrase. I've done some things that may be found on the kids menu. And that is true. You may never want to emulate some of my podcast guests and become a New York Times bestselling children's illustrator or make the Forbes list of self made female millionaires, but their stories will inspire you if you let them. I wanted to just add that a thorough imagination is a resource. You will see how others have harnessed its power. As a mom, can't you use all the resources you can get? I can. I have curated these stories because I am able to relate to them. I learned from them. And if you keep an open mind, I promise you will too. None are telling you how to mother. Instead, you will see a fuller picture of how people are finding their own way. own fulfillment and happiness in their lives. The only tool you'll need is your superpower, your fertile imagination. The permission I'm gifting you is this. Use it to propel you towards your dreams. You will uncover why as a mom, you should give yourself the permission to use a superpower. You can jump into any chapter that you might need at the moment. So I'm talking about my book and the way that it's organized and how you do not have to read it end to end. This book was written for moms who can appreciate that reading an entire book in one uninterrupted, cozy sitting is as rare as finding two 100 sheet, wide ruled, red covered composition notebooks at Walmart in New York. A week before school begins. If you're having a I can't go to the bathroom without company kind of day then just read some journal questions to get your engines going. Meditate on them even if you don't have the time to read the chapter. You can also download the imagination warm ups i. e. journal prompts right here fertileideas. com. The idea is this, just like those crystals you can buy at stores when you look at my chapters see if anyone calls to your attention. Start there. You truly can choose your own adventure. I trust that you will know what you need when you need it and be able to make this wisdom your own. However, if you're a nerd like me, then read it sequentially,  meditate and journal using the questions at the end of each chapter, then take a dive in, then take a dive, implement that chapter's one key idea consistently for one week. You might be an active reader like me.  Break out the highlighters and stickers make it a thing in my life The ideas in this book lifted me another mom up and they can do the same for you It's time to use your fertile imagination to really make a difference Back to the quote never let your successes be bigger than your dreams. I am so excited for whatever is going to  Open up for you This upcoming year, I wanted to just have this episode to be about you, your dreams, and really reflecting on your last three greatest successes. Because guess what? That is the bar that you set for yourself, and it's time to jump Higher. Thank you. So go ahead to the show notes, wherever you're listening to this on this device and go ahead and shop the book, fertile imagination, a guide for stretching every mom's superpower for maximum impact. Thank you so much for my listeners.

att det ibland faktiskt kan vara värt att följa instruktionerna.En: And all three knew that despite its modest appearance, each piece of this dresser contained a piece of their friendship and an important lesson - that sometimes it's actually worth following the instructions.Sv: Som de satt där, tittande på sin nya Malm byrå, kände de att de äntligen hade gjort sitt lilla hörn av Stockholm till ett hem.En: As they sat there, gazing at their new Malm dresser, they felt that they had finally made their little corner of Stockholm into a home.

Her book chronicles her journey from almost failing high school gym as a teenager to learning how to swim, bike and run as a middle-aged woman.  Hilary's story and her drive to change her life will inspire others to do the same -  no matter how rich or poor, how overweight or underweight, or how old or young they are.  Connect with Hilary: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hilary.topper Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hilarytopper/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/hilary25 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hilary-topper-71a880/ Blog 1: https://www.atriathletesdiary.com/ Blog 2: https://hilarytopper.com/ Hilary Topper on Air: https://www.hilarytopper.com/podcast/ HJMT Public Relations (her PR firm): https://www.hjmt.com/ Connect with Kim: Instagram at Iris Digital Media Group: https://www.instagram.com/irisdigitalmediagroup/ Instagram for Dream Building and Podcast Home:  https://www.instagram.com/kimberlylpeek Podcast Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/POWERofRUN The Digital Dreamer Podcast https://sites.libsyn.com/425744

On today's show I show you how we spoil our dreams. Unfortunately, this is the normal scenario. So much so, that you'd think this was a normal structure that dreams follow. I analyze Lisa's dream to demonstrate this for you. Spoiling them is the default. The spirit world says, Oh Lisa, it would be great if you could you do this? And Lisa says – do it yourself.  Let's tune in together and find out what Lisa is doing wrong. ;) If you want your dream analyzed on my show, you can submit it here https://www.dream-analysis.com/podcasts/contact.htm And when you do submit a dream that I use on my show, you get a bonus private call with me to talk about it. Dream: Not wanting to be asked out Jaime is glad she already has a boyfriend when she bumps into a childhood friend.   Dream: Building in an open field, restroom, my dog I walk through Lisa's dream, analyzing it and pointing out how we all spoil our dreams by rejecting what the spirit world is asking us to do.  Show Archives https://www.dream-analysis.com/podcasts/    Courses https://www.dream-analysis.com/courses

YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE "What the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve”     -Napoleon Hill   This week we will be concluding our 12 week series on the Prosperity Pillars for Success.  This is one of the most exciting Pillars, and yet it one of the least understood or practiced.  Here it is:   Prosperity Pillar #12 I Visualize and Manifest My Life.   I know that there are a million different strategies, techniques, theories and ideas when it comes to visualization, manifestation and the law of attraction, but my goal is to simply inspire you this week to spend more time consciously creating your life.  I believe that is what visualization and manifestation is all about.     This week I'd like to talk with you about several techniques and strategies you can utilize to Visualize and Manifest your best life.  I will draw on thoughts, experiences and tools that I have used and learned from experts like Wayne Dyer, T Harv Eker and many others (along with my own experiences) to help inspire you to create new levels of Awareness and Belief in the practice of Visualization and Manifestation.   Lets start with Visualization…   VISUALIZATION Visualization is simply a practice that helps your mind to crystallize and believe what you want to manifest in your life.  What your mind believes, it will achieve.  Visualization alone will not create the life you want to create.  It simply helps you to increase your faith, belief and awareness of what you want, so you can attract it into your life.  However, Visualization along with doing the work to Manifest or Create your life is a powerful combination.   Visualization is a skill like any other skill.  You need to work at it and build up your ability to clear your mind and picture what you want.  It requires commitment, consistency and persistence. Visualization Techniques Here are a few steps and ideas to help you build your Visualization skills in order to create Your Best life.  I'll spend some time as we go throughout the week talking more about each of these items.  I recommend you set aside some specific time this week to work on your Vision if you want to Manifest it into your life. Find a Quiet place to Crystalize your vision in vivid detail. Create intense emotions around your vision. Create "I am" statements that your vision is a reality. "Act as if" your Vision is a Present Day reality. Create a vision board for better clarity and focus. Constant “dream build” and expose your senses to your goals. Now remember, ONLY actions, consistency and persistence will help to bring your Vision to Reality.   This brings us into the overall topic of Manifestation, and there is no one better than Wayne Dyer when it comes to explaining this topic (in my humble opinion).   One of the reasons I love Wayne Dyer is he talks about specific actions you can create but also touches on the mindset, values and beliefs you must work on to Attract Your Best Life. Over the past 11 weeks we have covered the 12 Prosperity Pillars that I personally believe capture most of the most important principles for achieving Health, Wealth and Happiness.  They are all principles I have learned from mentors, thought experts and truly successful people I have met along my journey.  But they are all put into practice with this last Prosperity Pillar.  I believe that learning to have Vision and Manifesting what you want is the ultimate step in “actively” creating your life.   I have tried to always tried to keep Dream Building and Vision as a cornerstone in my life.  It's what gives us hope for the future.  It's what gives us something to continually work towards.  But most importantly, it's the promise that we can "Live the Life We Were Meant to Live.”   I challenge you to put this Principle into your life.  I challenge you to spend some time this week getting crystal clear on what you want.  Then, I promise you that your days will seem more driven, more passionate, and more focused.  I am planning to do exactly that and my hope is that you will as well. Until tomorrow, have an amazing day.   George Wright III

If you are a passion-driven Entrepreneur like me, you probably deal with stress, anxiety or even depression at times. These are really difficult periods in your life and can ultimately affect you and the people around you. So, one of the best way I've found to deal with this is by creating structure and routine in your life.  Sometimes we need that structure to "Power Us" through the times that our discipline fades...and everyone has times their motivation and discipline fades…trust me when i say Everyone. :) I learned a long time ago that Your Routine will keep you moving forward towards your goals and help you to navigate these rough times.  This is why I CREATE DAILY RITUALS. (Hopefully u noticed the all caps of that statement which is prosperity pillar #10). I want to encourage you to maintain a schedule and routine long enough that it will become automatic and more of a habit for you, so you won't need to rely as much on motivation. Creating positive HABITS is an important benefit of long term application of your Daily Rituals.  But here is one additional Secret I have also found that has helped me the most..... You Must Create Structure, Tools, and Resources that make it easier to stay consistent with your daily rituals, otherwise your routine goes out the window when your motivation does.  I've been asked many times about my daily routine and rituals, and I will cover that in more detail next week. But, I'd like to just share with you just a few recommendations of Books, Mobile Apps, and Podcasts I currently use as a foundation (for me) on a daily basis. Then, next week I will dig in deeper to my routine and ideas I have for you to Power Through your difficult days.  Here are just a few of the key resources I use on a Daily basis: Books Successful people are constantly reading.  I like to listen to audio books when I work out or want to unwind for the day.  But, I highly recommend you actually take time to sit in a quiet place and read physical books as well.  It helps you to stay grounded in the present moment and you retain much more information when you do read a book.  Here are just a few of my recent favorites:   Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill- this book will always have hidden secrets and treasures and you can never read it too often. The Happiness Equation by Neil Pasricha- this book really has opened my eyes to ways you can really increase your happiness levels. High Performance Habits by Brendon Burchard- this book has a very simple and effective way to increase your productivity and focus. Mobile Apps Let's face it, we are on our mobile devices all the time.  So, you might as well make sure this tool is a force for positive influence in your life right? Her are a couple of key apps I use right on my home screen, and they have both Free and Versions: Calm Meditation App- this app has amazing for reminding me to take a minute and relax, focus, and breath when I am grinding the the long days of building a business.  I have really started to use the Sleep Meditations and Stories when I (like I'm sure you have) nights I cannot get my brain to shut down and allow me to sleep.  Works every time. Day One Journal App- writing in my journal has been a key daily ritual for me.  I can track my moods, memories and accomplishments. After all, “A life worth living is a life worth recording”, says my partner Robert Stuberg.  This app will even send me reminders to enter a quick thought throughout my day. Audible Audiobook App- I love audible because I find it helpful to also listen to fiction and or current event books while I workout or exercise.  I used to always just read business, investing, and success books.  But, I've found over time that my mind is much healthier when I shift it to the creative, right-side on occasions, and it allows me to be much more relevant and personable when having conversations with friends, family and partners. Podcast If you open up the Podcast app on my mobile phone you will see quite a diversity of podcasts because I listen to various experts depending on my mood or learning needs at the time.  I highly recommend occasionally searching new podcasts so you dont get too routine or isolated in the type of people you listen too.  But, here are a few of the core podcasts I consistently listen too: The Gary Vee Audio Experience with Gary Vaynerchuk- this give me motivation, business nuggets and a kick in the butt when I need it.  Plus, I really enjoy the variety of this podcast with speaking events, meetings, interviews or community questions Gary uses. The Mike Dillard Podcast with Mike Dillard- Mike will consistently deliver solid business and personal content that I use in my business and he is always interviewing Proven, Successful People on practical things you can use in business. The Ed Mylett Show with Ed Mylett- this podcast also give em constant motivation and inspiration while delivering a massive amount of content and value.  Plus, Ed interviews a wide variety of speakers, athletes, and experts in business, health, and happiness.  I relate to a lot of the experiences and business that are discussed on this show. Joel Osteen Podcast- a week doesn't go by that I don't tune into the inspirational and  important messages that Joel and Victoria offer their listening audience.  I met Joel one time at an Exclusive Resort I was staying at, and I cannot tell you how genuine, happy, and selfless this guy is in real life.  He truly made me feel like he cared and didn't even know me at the time.  The Brain Warrior's Way with Dr Daniel & Tana Amen- this is a very short and sweet podcast that literally explains the science about why your Brain is the most important tool that affect your health, wealth and happiness.  I needed to really learn that my BRAIN is not my MIND but it definitely is a tool for me to use in achieving success.  Dr Amen constantly gives strategies, tips, nutrition, and many many other golden nuggets for success in winning the “Battle of Your Mind”. And Finally…(shameless plus)…I highly recommend the Free Daily Mastermind Mobile app on iTunes and Google Play. I literally created this app for myself and the people i care about.  It is totally free and has more resources on it than anything in the entire industry of Personal Development and Financial Education. Here is just a few of the Free Resources available on the Daily Mastermind App: Daily Rituals Tracker and Accountability Tab Daily Mastermind Podcast Tab Daily G Blog and Articles Tab Daily Quotes with Pics and Sharable Thoughts Tab Meditation Audios Affirmations Poster with Prosperity Pillars eBooks Audiobooks Journal Notes Videos, Gallery for Dream Building, and more to come... I hope some of these resources help you and tune in with me next week as I uncover some of the learning curve I've gone through to find the right routine and right success factors with my rituals each week.  Have a great weekend.  George Wright III

"Failure is not a bad thing...In the process of dreaming and living out your dream, you are going to come across roadblocks. But understanding at that moment that 'hey, this is a lesson' take a step back and figure out what that lesson is so you don't have to encounter it later in the future." - Andronica Klaas, Ep96. The Monica Kade Podcast Welcome to Ep96. You Have to Have An Intention For Your Dream with Andronica Klaas, the second alumni graduate from my Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Series (OWLAG).

Andronica has also been invited by the bank to share her journey at the “Inspire – Women who Tech” enrichment event for female freshman and sophomore students interested in pursuing roles in Technology. Engaging with the youth and inspiring proactiveness in solving civic engagement issues in their surrounding communities is close to her heart, and she does this through her workshops. She has worked with organisations such as EmpowerHERment, Camp LeadUp and InTech.
