If you're a wife who loves God and loves your husband, but you're wondering… Why don't I want sex? Why does my husband want it more than I do? Am I broken for not desiring intimacy? …you're in the right place. We want to remind you that you are not broken. You're not alone. And God isn't disappointed in you. In this conversation, we sit down with the incredible Dr. Juli Slattery—clinical psychologist, author of 14 books, and founder of Authentic Intimacy—to talk about real struggles Christian wives face around intimacy, low desire, and how to walk toward healing with God's help. What Causes Low Sex Drive in Christian Wives? This is one of the most common issues I hear from women: “My husband wants it more. I feel bad. I don't know why I don't want it. Help.” Dr. Slattery shares that many wives don't have a lower drive—just a different kind. Men typically have what's called an initiating drive, while women often have a responsive drive. That means she doesn't feel desire until after closeness begins. That's normal! But sometimes, low desire is more complex. Some deeper causes may include: Past sexual trauma (even from within marriage) Body image issues and insecurity Pain during sex or hormonal changes (like menopause) A lack of emotional safety or unresolved conflict Shame from upbringing or purity culture Misunderstandings about what sex is really for Often, it's not one thing—it's several. That's why this isn't a quick fix. It's a journey of healing and understanding. And most importantly—it's not your fault. What Does God Say About Sex in Marriage? We often assume a great sex life just means “compatibility.” But as Juli beautifully shared: “Great sex isn't about compatibility. It's about growing in unselfish love.” And that's biblical. God designed marriage and sexual intimacy to reflect His covenant love: faithful, intimate, sacrificial, and joy-filled. When we chase after that picture—His heart for sex—it brings healing, safety, and even delight. Here are the 4 pillars of covenant sex that Juli teaches: Faithfulness – Can your spouse trust you emotionally and physically? Intimate Fellowship – Are you open with each other in heart and spirit? Sacrificial Love – Are you serving each other instead of demanding? Passionate Celebration – Is sex a space for joy and rejoicing? “I Want to Want Sex… But I Don't.” What Should I Do? If that's your heart cry, there's hope. Juli and I walked through several gentle, practical steps to help you move forward: 1. Pray—Every Day Invite God into this part of your life. Juli prayed for months before even telling her husband. God cares. He will meet you here. 2. Start with What You Do Want Maybe you don't want intercourse—but you'd like to cuddle. Or feel safe naked. Or be able to enjoy touch again. That's a great start. 3. Change the Inner Narrative Rather than thinking, “I have to,” begin gently rehearsing, “I want to enjoy closeness. I want to connect with the man I love.” 4. Use Physical Support Tools like organic lubricants, non-intercourse intimacy, or vibrators (with agreement) can be helpful. Give yourself permission to explore. 5. Communicate with Your Husband If he's safe, loving, and kind—invite him into this healing journey with you. Let him support your heart, not just seek pleasure. But Isn't It Selfish to Focus So Much on Sex? That's a valid concern—especially for Christians. But here's what Juli shared that really struck me: “God designed sex to bless both husband and wife. This isn't just about serving him—it's about your healing, too.” Sex is not just physical. It's emotional. Spiritual. It touches the most tender parts of our story. If you're avoiding it completely, it might be time to gently ask: What wounds need healing? What lies am I believing? This is not about becoming a sex expert—it's about becoming whole. A Christian Wife's Invitation to Intimacy Whether you've been married 3 years or 30, God's not done with this part of your journey. Even if sex has been painful, shame-filled, or complicated… He can redeem it. Even if you feel distant, numb, or uninterested… He can awaken new joy. You're not “less than.” You're not “too late.” You're not “too much.” You're beloved. And intimacy can become a gift again.

In this episode of Building Better Developers, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore impostor syndrome—a challenge many entrepreneurs and leaders silently struggle with. You're not alone if you've ever felt unworthy of success or like you don't belong. Why Impostor Syndrome Appears After Success Impostor syndrome tends to show up at the most inconvenient times, usually after a win. You've landed a big client or completed a major project, but instead of confidence, you feel doubt. Michael identifies three primary triggers: Burnout – You're stretched too thin and start to question your ability. Lack of direction – Uncertainty about what's next fuels anxiety. Criticism – Negative feedback sticks harder than positive progress.

 In this episode of the Industrial Advisors podcast, hosts Bill Condon and Matt McGregor discuss the current state and future of electric fleets, industrial buildings, and autonomous trucks. They highlight the slow adoption of electric fleets due to infrastructure challenges, high costs, and lack of standardization. They also examine the pilot projects by companies like Walmart, which have been experimenting with autonomous trucks since 2016, and touch on why a full transition to electric and autonomous fleets has been slow. Despite some advancements, the conversation underscores that significant hurdles remain, making the future of electric and autonomous trucking complex and gradual. 00:54 Current State of Electric Fleets 02:08 Challenges in Infrastructure and Costs 03:11 Spec Buildings and Future Projections 04:31 Autonomous Trucks and Pilot Projects 05:27 Future of Autonomous and Electric Trucks 06:23 Conclusion and Final Thoughts You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube, For more, visit industrialadvisors.com

Hey guys, Debbie Nigro here — and if you're anything like me, you're holding on to hope, love, and music to lift your spirits… in spite of it all. That phrase — “in spite of it all” — felt like the perfect segue into one of the most meaningful and emotional conversations I've had in a long time on The Debbie Nigro Show. I had the honor of welcoming the incredible Wayne Warnicke, a legendary music producer who was diagnosed with ALS in 2022, and his powerhouse of a wife, the talented and soulful Vaneese Thomas. Together, they are the heartbeat behind Musicians United for ALS, a one-night-only benefit concert packed with iconic talent — all coming together to raise funds for ALS research and patient support.   Meet Wayne & Vaneese: They Brought Such Great Energy to the Show. Theirs Is a Love Story in Music and Resilience Wayne's story is one of deep passion and remarkable perseverance. From starting as a drummer at age 9 to producing legends like Bob James, Luther Vandross, and David Sanborn, Wayne's music journey has been nothing short of epic. He fell in love with the studio life as a teenager walking into Minot Sound in White Plains — and never looked back. And then there's Vaneese. A force of nature. A blues powerhouse. A woman who met Wayne in the studio and never left his side. Now, she's not only singing the blues, but she's also living with love and lifting Wayne every step of the way. “She does everything,” Wayne said, with humor in his voice and gratitude in his heart. “I'm a lot of work,” he chuckled. And yet, his spirit is unstoppable.   Mark your calendars: April 15th at the Concert Hall at SUNY Purchase. This ADA-compliant venue will welcome a phenomenal lineup of artists, many of whom have deep personal ties to Wayne: Patti Smythe of Scandal Paul Shaffer of Late Show with David Letterman fame Average White Band (hello, 70s groove!) Lisa Fisher, Grammy-winning vocal goddess James "D-Train" Williams Bob James (another Grammy legend!) Ed Palermo Big Band Bernie Williams, yes, THAT Bernie from the Yankees Rising local star Elsa, guitar virtuoso Gil Parris, and more! And hosting the evening? None other than Vinnie Pastore of The Sopranos — you know it's going to be a blast. The musical direction is in the expert hands of Rob Mathes, a Kennedy Center Honors-level arranger and a dear friend of the couple. Plus, yes — there will be cocktails and hors d'oeuvres starting at 5:30pm, all included in your ticket!   Why This Matters ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is cruel, mysterious, and currently incurable. Wayne's journey with ALS began when he couldn't quite stand up straight… then swimming got harder… and eventually, the diagnosis came. But rather than retreat, Wayne has rallied. He's using his voice — and his incredible connections — to shine a light and raise funds. As he put it, “If life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” This event is about music, yes. But it's also about love, awareness, accessibility, and hope. The funds raised will go directly toward research and patient support, and the energy in the room will be unforgettable.   Get Your Tickets or Donate Now! Visit Musicians United for ALS to buy your tickets or make a donation. (Yes, it's tax-deductible!) Show Wayne, Vaneese, and the entire ALS community that they are not alone.   Final Thoughts  You know, some people just have that light. Wayne and Vaneese are those people. Their love, their strength, their humor, and their commitment to turning a difficult diagnosis into a night of celebration… it's just extraordinary. I promise you'll be inspired listening to them both in this podcast of our live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show. 

Your house should be your safe space. But what if it's the source of your symptoms? In this solo episode of Super Life, Darin Olien uncovers the hidden poisons lurking inside your home—from cookware and furniture to cleaning products and carpets. Darin breaks down the scientific research behind common toxins like PFAS, phthalates, formaldehyde, and flame retardants, and shows you how these “fatal conveniences” may be silently disrupting your hormones, damaging your gut, and weakening your immune system. You'll walk away from this episode with practical, easy-to-implement solutions that will help you detox your environment and build a home that supports vitality, longevity, and true wellness.   1. Formaldehyde in Your Home: The Silent Threat Formaldehyde is a common indoor air pollutant found in engineered wood products, cabinetry, moldings, countertops, and furniture. It is classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization and has been linked to respiratory issues, asthma, and even leukemia (Zhang et al., 2020). How to Reduce Formaldehyde Exposure:  Opt for solid wood furniture instead of pressed wood.  Use low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and finishes.  Keep your home well-ventilated with HEPA air purifiers.    2. The Hidden Dangers of PFAS (Forever Chemicals) PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are found in non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, waterproof clothing, and even drinking water. Studies show these chemicals accumulate in the body and are linked to cancer, hormonal imbalances, immune system suppression, and reproductive toxicity (DeWitt et al., 2019). How to Reduce PFAS Exposure:  Switch to cast iron or stainless steel cookware.  Avoid stain-resistant treatments on carpets and furniture.  Use water filters certified to remove PFAS.    3. Plastics: More Than Just an Environmental Issue Plastics release harmful chemicals like BPA (bisphenol A) and phthalates, which disrupt the endocrine system, leading to infertility, metabolic disorders, and even neurological issues (Talsness et al., 2009).  How to Reduce Plastic Exposure:  Use glass or stainless steel containers.  Avoid microwaving food in plastic.  Choose BPA-free household products.    4. Carpets: A Reservoir of Toxins and Allergens Carpets harbor SVOCs (semi-volatile organic compounds), flame retardants, and pesticides, making them a major source of indoor air pollution and allergens. Children and pets are particularly vulnerable (Cao et al., 2017). How to Reduce Carpet-Related Risks:  Choose natural fiber rugs like wool or cotton.  Regularly clean with a HEPA vacuum.  Use non-toxic carpet cleaners.    5. Fragrances: The Airborne Toxins in Your Home Synthetic fragrances found in air fresheners, candles, cleaning products, and perfumes contain phthalates and VOCs that are linked to respiratory issues, migraines, and hormone disruption (Steinemann, 2018).  How to Detox Your Home's Air:  Use essential oil diffusers instead of synthetic air fresheners.  Choose fragrance-free cleaning products.  Improve indoor air quality with houseplants like peace lilies and spider plants.    SuperLife Home Detox: Steps to Create a Healthy Living Space Switch to Non-Toxic Cleaning Products – Avoid harsh chemicals; opt for vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils.  Improve Ventilation – Open windows daily and use HEPA air filters.  Filter Your Water – Invest in a high-quality water filtration system to remove PFAS, chlorine, and heavy metals.  Avoid Toxic Furniture and Decor – Choose organic bedding, non-toxic paint, and untreated wood furniture.  Ditch the Plastics – Use glass, stainless steel, or silicone alternatives for food storage and cookware.  Go Green with Personal Care Products – Check labels for parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances.   Conclusion The reality is, our homes can be filled with hidden toxins that impact our health in ways we don't even realize. But the good news? We have the power to change that. By making small, intentional choices—like choosing cleaner products, improving ventilation, and ditching harmful plastics—you can create a SuperLife-approved home that truly supports your well-being. Have you taken steps to detox your home? Share your experience with us on social media @DarinOlien, and let's keep this conversation going!

Starting is messy. Starting is scary. Starting is sometimes fuelled by beer and a McDonald's. But starting is also where the good stuff begins.In this solo episode, Michelle serves up a straight-talking reminder that you don't need to feel ready to begin — you just need to begin. Drawing on Brene Brown's infamous “arena” analogy and a knockout story from Muay Thai fighter Christina, this is a bold nudge (ok, shove) for anyone stuck on the sidelines waiting for the perfect moment.Spoiler: the perfect moment doesn't exist. The only thing holding you back is the illusion of readiness and a fear of looking daft. But daft is temporary — regret lasts a hell of a lot longer."Maybe I should wait until I'm more prepared." No. You should stop hiding behind a to-do list and step into your arena — messy, scrappy, and unapologetically unready.Key Takeaways:Judging is easier than doing — but doing is where you grow.Your first step doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to happen.Christina's story is a masterclass in doing it anyway — even if you've got no cornerman and a belly full of Big Mac.The longer you wait, the harder it gets — and the more chances you miss.You don't need confidence to start. You gain confidence by starting.You're not here to impress — you're here to progress. Write that on a Post-it. Or tattoo it. Your cal

Show Notes: The Greatest Enemy of Mankind   Host: Ambassador Elisha   Welcome back to another transformative episode! I truly appreciate you for taking the time to tune in—it means the world to me. May God bless you abundantly, and may His peace rest upon you in Jesus' mighty name.   Today's Focus: The Greatest Enemy of Mankind   Many believe our greatest enemy is the devil, sickness, corrupt leaders, or even terrorists. But what if I told you the real enemy is something more subtle yet far more destructive? Ignorance.   Key Takeaways:   ✅ Jesus' Core Message: The foundation of His teachings was the Kingdom of God. He didn't come to establish a religion but to restore God's kingdom on Earth.   ✅ The Power of Knowledge: A person who understands their authority cannot be easily defeated—not by spells, deception, or even demonic attacks.   ✅ Confidence vs. Fear: Even those who don't actively follow God but hold strong beliefs about their invincibility often walk in power, unknowingly applying divine principles.   ✅ Why You Should Seek God: Church isn't just a place to ask for blessings—it's where you learn about God's culture, laws, and strategies for ruling in life.   ✅ Your Authority Over Darkness: The devil needs your permission to operate in your life. If you truly grasp your authority, you become untouchable.     Scriptures Discussed:   Luke 4:5-6 – The devil's attempt to offer Jesus the kingdoms of the world.   Matthew 4:17 – Jesus' call to repentance and the arrival of God's kingdom.   Luke 17:20-21 – The kingdom of God is not external but within you.   John 14:12 – Jesus declares that those who believe in Him will do even greater works.   Matthew 28:18 – Jesus asserts His authority over heaven and earth.     Final Thoughts:   You were designed for greatness, but ignorance can keep you enslaved. When you discover God's kingdom, His principles, and your rightful authority, you unlock a level of power that no enemy can overthrow.   ➡️ Share this episode with someone who needs to hear this truth. Let's break the chains of ignorance and step into the authority God has given us!   Thank you for listening.

Show Notes: Your Authority as a Citizen of Heaven   Host: Ambassador Elisha   Episode Overview   In this powerful episode, Ambassador Elisha dives deep into the authority believers have as citizens of heaven.   He shares how the enemy constantly tries to prevent the truth from being revealed—but ultimately fails.   This episode is a wake-up call to understand and exercise your God-given authority.   Key Highlights   • The Battle for Truth (00:30)   The enemy fights to suppress truth, but the truth always prevails.   The media is often filled with misleading information—so where do we turn for truth?     • The True Source of Identity (02:52)   Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.   To know who you truly are, look to Jesus, not society.   >> Practical steps to discovering your identity: reading the Word, listening to teachings, and communing with the Holy Spirit.   • Jesus' Authority and What It Means for You (05:23)   Matthew 28:10—Jesus declares that all authority in heaven and earth has been given to Him.   Just like you have authority over your own home or car, Jesus has authority over the earth.   • Your Role in Changing the World (09:15)   The solution to the world's problems isn't far—it's within those called to bring change.   Many people are assigned by God to influence sectors like politics, education, and media but don't realize their role yet.   • Instead of complaining about problems, recognize that you are the solution.   Luke 10:19—The Power Given to You (11:42)   Jesus has given His followers authority over all the power of the enemy.   Transformation begins with one person; just as one person spread COVID-19 worldwide, one person can also spread truth and change lives.   ° A Testimony of Faith and Healing (12:40)   Ambassador Elisha shares a moving testimony of a pregnant woman who was critically ill but experienced miraculous healing through prayer.   This powerful story reinforces the reality of spiritual authority and faith in action.   Final Thoughts   You are not just here to exist—you were created to rule, reign, and dominate. The authority of Jesus has been given to you, and it's time to step into your divine purpose.

Bret and Nirmal reunite for their traditional annual Holiday Special episode of breaking down the most significant developments in cloud native from 2024 and sharing predictions for 2025.

In this episode of the Rocket Chiropractic Podcast, host Jerry Kennedy discusses the challenges of maintaining a work-life balance as a chiropractor. He explores the extremes of hustle culture versus a carefree lifestyle, emphasizing the importance of finding a middle ground. Jerry shares insights on prioritizing family and health over business success, and the necessity of structure and discipline in both work and home life. He encourages listeners to be present with their families and to understand that saying yes to one commitment often means saying no to another. The conversation culminates in practical tips for achieving a balanced life while managing a chiropractic practice. Key Takeaways: 1. The Extremes of Work-Life Balance: On one end, you have the "hustle culture" that glorifies grinding 24/7 to achieve success. On the other, you have the carefree "YOLO mentality" that prioritizes living in the moment over building anything substantial. Both extremes come with consequences, especially for chiropractors with families. 2. The Real Priorities in Life: Visualize your life as a target. The bullseye is reserved for the most important people—your spouse, kids, and closest family members. Work is essential but does not belong at the center of your target. Misaligned priorities can lead to regrets and damaged relationships. 3. The Importance of Saying No: When you say yes to one thing, you're saying no to something else. Chiropractors must learn to prioritize structure, discipline, and efficiency in their work so they can be fully present at home. 4. Tips for Work-Life Balance: At Work: Create structure and discipline in your practice. Be efficient and prioritize foundational tasks that truly matter. Avoid wasted time and inefficiency—it directly affects your time with family. At Home: Be fully present when you're home. Don't bring work problems into family time. Understand that the time you spend at home is irreplaceable. Communicate with your spouse and set expectations for temporary sacrifices while building your practice. 5. Timing is Everything: If you're single and building a practice, take advantage of the flexibility. If you have a family, use them as your motivation to work smarter, not just harder. Remember: The hustle phase is temporary. Your goal is to provide for your family without sacrificing your relationships. Final Thoughts: You won't look back on your life and wish you'd worked more or earned a little extra money. What truly matters are the relationships you build and the moments you cherish with your family. Keep your priorities straight, work efficiently, and when you're home—be home.

The episode then delves into the misconception of wasted time, discussing how common it is to fear making the wrong choices in life, whether it's in pursuing education, relationships, or career changes. I share insights on how to manage these fears by understanding the brain's protective mechanisms, committing to decisions, and using mindset work and self-coaching to navigate through uncertainties.

Episode 75 - Change Management Summary   In this episode, Scott and Mo discuss change management and its importance in the workplace. They highlight the need for leaders to encounter challenges, build resilience, and foster open communication. They emphasize the importance of recognizing opportunities and engaging employees in the change process. The hosts also encourage leaders to be proactive and continuously evaluate and refine their approach to change management. They conclude by emphasizing the need for leaders to be open to change and drive positive change within their organizations. 3 Ways to Deal with Change Management   Focus on encountering challenges.  Change can disrupt the status quo  Change can create resistance among employees. If you're not encountering challenges, then you're not leading.  Look for the unexpected Get out in front of challenges and be ready to work them out ResilienceWhat is going on in your company? How can you work amidst those challenges?  How can you build that resilience within your team that is going to be vital for navigating change effectively?  Be adaptable.Are you ready to adapt quickly to change?  Are you ready to bounce back from the setbacks?    BOOK: The Leadership Challenge: How to Make Extraordinary Things Happen in Organization, by Kouzes and Posner.    “The only way you're going to get good is to get good”.  Don't baby your people.  Build resiliency in your team.  Leaders think challenges are opportunities. Foster open communication. Open up - Be honest Allow team members to express within the team and to one another their concerns.  Be part of expressing those concerns  Change presents opportunities for innovation and for growth.    How do you recognize opportunities?  Focused on the things that can be used as a learning moment or a teaching moment.  Focus on Engaging Employees. The “Buy-in” - John Maxwell's The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership To be an effective leader, you need to create a buy-in of ownership for your people. Empower team members To contribute ideas Give those solutions  Foster a sense of ownership Create commitment   BOOK: Made in America, by Sam Walton   Encourage Pro-activists  Your people are only going to be proactive if you allow them to be proactive.  Continuous evaluation and refinement of our approach to change is going to ensure ongoing success.    QUESTIONS:  What are the things that are worth evaluating in your business?  What are your feedback mechanisms?  Are you giving your people a way to tell you the things that are going good and bad? Do you have an open door policy?  Are you making it better in your workplace?    MO's Final Thoughts: You need to be the most open person in the room when it comes to change management. It is so easy for us as leaders to tell other people that they need to be open to change. When in reality, leaders, it's really us that's not open to change. Don't get upset with your people. Help them and redirect them to where they're supposed to be. Change is what you need to be about. Leaders are all about change.    As we talk about encountering challenges, engaging employees, encouraging proactiveness, you know, who's in charge of all that? You are in charge of that as the leader. You're the person who is responsible both for the productivity of your company and specifically for your team. So leaders, remember, it's about embracing opportunity because that's going to bring you to growth and innovation and your people are going to jump onto that process. And when it comes to leadership, you are the one that drives those processes.Give your people the best opportunity to succeed. The way you do that  is to get in front and be ready to deal with that change management.

The podcast features Lauren Mora as she shares insightful information about managing the challenges of motherhood, overcoming feelings of overwhelm, and dealing with 'mom guilt'. She discusses the pressures of balancing child-raising, house chores, and work, highlighting the importance of setting realistic goals and using productivity tools.    With 3 young kids herself, she started feeling overwhelmed with everything on her plate every week. Rather than focus on trying harder to be the perfect mom or micro-managing her responsibilities, she took the approach of figuring out what was at the root of why she felt so overloaded and then developed the easiest possible solutions to help her and her family run smoother. With 10 years of strategic sales background for a Fortune 15 company, she self-developed the Rally the Village program to provide moms the support they need each week.    By advising to view motherhood from an intentional and achievable perspective, Lauren emphasizes the importance of setting priorities, creating memorable experiences over long gameplay, and taking time out for self-care.   00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:57 Guest Background and Journey to Motherhood 02:18 Transition to Entrepreneurship and Starting a Business 03:08 Challenges of Balancing Motherhood and Business 04:08 Creating a Community for Moms: Rally the Village 04:26 The Impact of COVID-19 on Motherhood and Entrepreneurship 05:31 The Importance of Creating Home Processes for Balance 07:41 The Role of Functional Medicine in Life Management 08:31 The Importance of Self-Care and Delegation for Moms 10:04 Reframing Motherhood: Balancing Work, Kids, and Self 26:22 Creating a Positive Family Culture and Setting Priorities 28:12 Rally the Village: A Supportive Community for Moms 33:38 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   You got this, Mama, Jessa   Connect with Lauren Mora:  https://rallythevillage.com/  https://www.instagram.com/rallythevillage/ 5 Things you can take off your plate this week   Screenshot today's show and share it on IG stories.

Episode 39: Leaders Deal With It (Part 1)   Nobody wants to work for somebody who is always stressed out and makes everybody else stressed out.    1. Leaders Do Not React, They Respond “Bad Leaders React, But Here's What Good Leaders Do.” - Ink Magazine    When people get in bad situations, they look at the bad stuff and steer themselves right into it.   Leaders, you are one of the only people that has the obligation to respond instead of react.  You have to figure out what it means to be calm and show composure.    2. Leaders Do Not Complicate, They Simplify. “The courage of leadership is giving others the chance to succeed even though you bear the responsibility for getting things done.” - Simon Seniek QUESTION: Do you empower your employees to generate ideas and come up with solutions for whatever area they are responsible for?   Trusting your employees to get stuff done will keep the process simple.   What is the unfinished business that you have in your life right now? QUESTION: What are the rules that don't apply anymore? What are the things that stick around even though they are not relevant to what you are doing?  Are there meetings in your schedule that are not helpful?   Efficiency of your organization will rise when you let your employees focus on what is most important, which is productivity.  You have to continually assess and reassess the projects and programs that exist right now. Anything worth doing is worth evaluating. So, what is the evaluation process at your company?  MO's Final Thoughts:  You have to focus on keeping things simple.  It is your job to bring clarity to all pieces of what your team is responsible for.  Your people will thank you for diligence in simplifying their lives.      Special thanks to: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Work it out by LiQWYD https://soundcloud.com/liqwyd  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0  Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/l_work-it-out Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/erSmdVocHO0 ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Episode 22: No Great Leader Is An Island “Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It’s about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others’ success, and then standing back and letting them shine.” Chris Hadfield, astronaut and former Commander of the International Space Station   1. Great Leaders Promote the Dream “All successful people - men and women - are big dreamers.” - Brian Tracy  QUESTION: Do you understand your own goals and dreams? Have you written them down?   It is important to keep the short-term goals and long-term goals in perspective. You can be a good leader without being a dreamer. However, if you want to be a great leader, you have to be a dreamer.    Become a storyteller: What is your compelling purpose that you need others to know and understand?   2. Great Leaders Promote the Team Leaders are only as good as the people on their team.  If you want to be a good leader, and eventually a great leader, you have to shift your focus to not just the team, but “effective teamwork.”  Focusing on this kind of teamwork fosters two things: Higher productivity Loyalty among people on your team Teams that work well together will always produce better work and results.   QUESTION: Do you communicate collaboration among your team? Communication is a key component, and a top priority, of a leader who was building a strong team. You must foster and promote a “sixth sense” among your team members. Teams that work well together develop a strong sense of accountability.   QUESTION: Do the people on your team understand what they are supposed to be contributing to the rest of the team?   MO’s Final Thoughts: You have to focus on both the dream and the team.   Question: Which one are you needing to work on more? Action: Write it down. Journal. Make the change today.

Planning for retirement was easier for past generations. When your time came to leave the workforce, you probably received a pension and a gold watch. Maybe you spent your remaining years sipping tea in a rocking chair on the front porch. Unfortunately, those days are gone, and we want to bring you out of the glory days and into reality. What You'll Learn: 2:24 – Pensions are a thing of the past. If you're expecting to receive a pension in retirement, you might be living in the glory days. Minus the government, most companies no longer offer pensions, and the ones in existence have been modified. You can't solely rely on a pension to get you through retirement. 4:25 - Longevity comes with unique challenges. We're living longer than we did in the so called glory days, and that's a good thing. It also means we have to make our money last longer in retirement. Furthermore, you'll probably need to plan for some type of long-term care in retirement. You need a plan to cover the uncertainties that come with longevity. 5:28 - We're in the "Sandwich Generation." Many retirees today are taking care of both their parents and their children. This could add an additional financial strain in retirement. 8:08 - We live in a world of takers. Okay, that statement is a bit dramatic, but these days, more people are withdrawing from Social Security than contributing to it. Especially as the Baby Boomer generation begins to retire, we'll begin to see problems with the Social Security system. Social Security probably won't go away, but it could get cut. 9:53 - Interest rates were favorable in the Glory Days. You used to get 12 or 13 percent interest on your money when you put it in the bank. That's obviously not realistic in today's interest rate environment. You need to be more realistic with your expectations for your return on investment. 13:58 - What is lazy money? Lazy money is money that doesn't have a purpose. It's money that's not working for you. 15:02 - Why do people have too much lazy money? Some people are afraid of losing money in the market, so they put it in cash. Others don't want to be taken advantage of by an advisor, and they're skeptical of investing in general. 17:04 - What do you do when you have too much lazy money? Joel shares examples of clients who had too much lazy money. He shares how he was able to help. Final Thoughts: "You have to make sure you don't completely impoverish yourself by taking care of your kids and your parents. At the same time, there's an almost moral obligation to take care of your parents."  - Joel Johnson Additional Resources: ScheduleYour Money Map Review: http://retire.johnsonbrunetti.com/contactjohnsonbrunetti For further exploration of this topic and additional resources, check out our blog here: https://johnsonbrunetti.com/are-you-still-living-in-the-glory-days/

Financial pundits love to predict a coming apocalypse. Doom and gloom might drive ratings, but that mentality isn't good for your financial health. Join us as we examine the facts and sort truth from hysteria. What You'll Learn: 1:56 – The Social Security Apocalypse. Some argue Social Security is going broke. They say your benefit might disappear. We're not sure the situation is quite that dire. However, there is an issue with the Social Security system. While your benefit probably won't be cut, you could see changes to the system. 4:00 - The National Debt Apocalypse.   National debt is skyrocketing, and some predict a looming debt apocalypse. They argue tax rates will also skyrocket. Reality suggests the national debt is a problem, and neither political party in Washington seems to have a solution to that problem. This is an issue we can't control, and regardless of what happens, you don't want your retirement savings depending on the national debt issue. Control what you can, and don't worry about the uncertainties. 6:11  - An Interest Rate Apocalypse. People say, "We've all gotten used to low interest rates. When the Fed raises them, nobody will want to borrow money, and the economy will grind to a halt." This is a bit of a stretch. Americans live in a world in which most people are constantly borrowing money. Regardless of what the economy does, people and companies will continue to borrow money. The economy won't grind to a halt for this reason. 8:17 - An Impending Stock Market Apocalypse. It's completely true the market has been jetting upward for a long time. Statistically speaking, we are overdue for a crash. However, past performance isn't indicative of future results, right? It's impossible to predict when a crash will happen, and we certainly can't say how bad it will be. Market timing simply doesn't work. 13:21 - Retirement Planning Just Ain't Like It Used To Be. You always hear your parents talking about how hard things used to be. We've all heard the adage about walking uphill both ways in the snow to get to school. However, reality would suggest retirement planning used to actually be easier than it is today. 14:00 - We're Living Longer. Longevity is a great thing, but it was a lot easier to plan for retirement when you didn't have to make your money last as long. We need more income to support our longer lifespan. 16:10 - Healthcare Is More Expensive.  Healthcare is more expensive today than it was for our parents. The quality of the care is better, but it costs more to get this care. Therefore, it's become a greater factor in retirement. 17:48 - Higher Interest Rates Can Be Helpful. These days, interest rates are low, and that means our money doesn't earn as much sitting in the bank as it did in the past. That presents a problem when you're trying to grow your wealth. 19:26 - Pensions Have Gone The Way Of The Dodo. The dodo bird has been extinct for a long time, and pensions have become increasingly rare. Gone are the days of receiving a gold watch and a large pension when you retire. Final Thoughts: "You do not want to count on things that you can't control in your retirement for your retirement security. You've to got control as much as you can."  - Joel Johnson Additional Resources: ScheduleYour Money Map Review: http://retire.johnsonbrunetti.com/contactjohnsonbrunetti For further exploration of this topic and additional resources, check out our blog here: https://johnsonbrunetti.com/are-we-entering-a-financial-apocalypse/

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0298, And It Will Be About 7 Mistakes When Writing A Construction Business Proposal Today's Guest Article Is From Daniela McVicker If your construction company doesn’t provide unique services, you should clearly understand that you have a lot of competitors, who write business proposals almost identical to yours. It’s not surprising that clients always find it difficult to make a choice in your favor when all options seem to be equal. For this reason, it’s crucially important to learn how to make your construction business proposal stand out from the crowd. If you want to define, which mistakes you usually make and how to avoid them, just keep reading. Don’t understand client’s needs You will never win a competition if you send an identical standard construction business proposal to all your potential clients. It’s a totally wrong approach to gain trust. You should always analyze the specific needs of a client and create an exclusive proposal. You should clearly explain how your company will satisfy these concrete needs. Try to answer a simple question: what benefits this client will get, if he chooses you among the others? The project will be yours if you step into your customer’s shoes and state his expectations in your proposal. You should make your client think: “Wow! This is a perfect solution to our problem!” Don’t provide any proofs of your qualification If you want a client to believe that you are the best construction company for this project, you should provide the proofs. You can add photos, testimonials, or any other pieces of evidence of completed projects as appendixes. “Even if you completed a hundred similar projects, you should choose only 2 or 3 of them. Show the works, which you are proud of the most” – recommends Albert Malinger, an editor at Top Essay Writing. Set inadequate fees You should never drop your price to compete with other companies. You should always prove in your business proposal why your services are worth this money. Otherwise, you will never get the desired level of profit. However, you should never set your prices too high, because it lowers your chances to win. Your task is to evaluate the real market value of your services and be honest with your potential client. Forget to proofread proposal The worst thing you can do is to write an outstanding business proposal and forget to proofread it. Even one epic typo or grammar mistake can spoil your reputation. No one will trust the quality of your services if you are not able to control the quality of the writing. Include unimportant information You will never make a great first impression on a potential client if you overwhelm him with tons of irrelevant information. If your client is looking for a construction company specializing in garage construction, you should state your expertise in this very field only. If you also mention that your company can build a swimming pool, it will make your proposal sound unprofessional. Don’t pay attention to text formatting Your clients are busy people, and they receive tons of construction business proposals every day. If you submit a 5-page long document, which has no clear structure, it’s unlikely that addressee will waste his time reading it. If you want to make sure that your client will not send your business proposal to trash, make it easy to scan. It’s important to break the text into sections, use appropriate headings and list items in bullet points. Don’t propose any timeline It happens that some construction companies write about their vast experience, offer affordable prices, but forget to propose a timeline. As a result, the client feels a little confused. Even if he liked an offer, he cannot accept it without knowing the deadlines. You are responsible to estimate approximate time of construction and to present this information to your client. Keep in mind that you shouldn’t make any dead promises. If it’s impossible to complete a project in two weeks, don’t lie to your potential client just because you want to win a competition. Final Thoughts You should consider the construction business proposal as a tool, which can help you to generate a higher profit. If you have just found out that you made a lot of mistakes in the past, don’t worry. Now you have enough information on how to fix them. In writing a proposal, you should pay attention to every small detail, because it always matter. You should never forget that your ultimate mission is to make a great first impression on your client.

Being between jobs can be a blessing or a curse. Discover the benefits and pitfalls associated with leaving your primary job for other ventures. What You'll Learn: 2:47 –Being Between Jobs. Perhaps you were recently laid off from a company, or perhaps you decided to quit for any number of reasons. No matter your circumstances, if you find yourself in an employment gap, there are some questions you need to consider. 3:33 - Consider A New Career.   If you're between jobs, the first question you should ask yourself is whether you NEED to work more. If you decide to continue working, you might find this is your opportunity to finally explore that career path you've been considering for some time. 4:45  - The Benefits Of Self-Employment.     Joel shares the story of an architect who left an established firm to start his own. As a result of the switch, he was able to find more joy in his work. Consider whether your side gig could become full-blown self-employment. 4:38 - Where Will You Find Health Insurance? Joel wrote a book called Forced To Retire. It tackles seven questions you need to answer if you've been forced out of a job, and health insurance is a big one. There are several options out there, but you'll want to be sure you have strong health insurance coverage. 7:38 - What Will You Do With Your 401(k)?  If you have a 401(k) with a company, you are not the client of that 401(k). You're merely a participant. If you want to be a direct client of the custodian of that money, most of the time you need to roll it out of that 401(k) and into an IRA. This is what's called a 401(k) rollover, and it will leave you with more investing freedom. 9:21 - Will You Get A Severance Package? If the answer is yes, you'll probably have the option to take a monthly payment or a lump sum payout. Consider which option is best for you as you're between jobs. 11:06 - What Tax Opportunities Will You Have? Any time your income shifts up or down, you're left with a tax planning opportunity. Take advantage of it, and maximize tax-saving strategies that will alleviate your tax burden. 15:38 - The Problem With Rules Of Thumb. Rules of thumb should be seen as a starting point. They're meant to serve as a catalyst for discussion as you seek to develop a financial plan. 16:23 - Addressing The Rule Of 100. The rule of one hundred says if you take one hundred, and you subtract your age, you'll be left with the percentage of your money that should be at risk of loss in the market. While it's certainly a good thought, it's not meant to be seen as an absolute truth. Use this rule to start a conversation on risk. 18:29 - Addressing The 75 Percent Rule. The 75 percent rule states that once you retire, you'll need approximately 75 percent of the income you had when you were working to cover your living expenses. This is one rule that really needs to be ignored completely. Depending on your goals in retirement, you might actually need more or less money. Income planning is a crucial part of the overall retirement planning process. Final Thoughts: "You should have a custom retirement plan. A custom retirement income plan. A custom investment plan. Not some cookie cutter plan you've created by yourself."  - Joel Johnson Additional Resources: ScheduleYour Money Map Review: http://retire.johnsonbrunetti.com/contactjohnsonbrunetti For further exploration of this topic and additional resources, check out our blog here: https://johnsonbrunetti.com/being-between-jobs/
