You just need to pick one. 2 – Use the 3 C's to filter your subscription box options.I walk you through a simple framework to help you evaluate your ideas and find the one with the clearest path forward. Choose the idea you can build momentum around now. 3 – Let go of the pressure to pick the perfect subscription box idea.Your first box doesn't have to be your forever box.

Focus on progress, not perfection. Your Friday Fuel Challenge: Pick ONE idea and talk about it this week.

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are entertaining a question about belief and faith. What are the definitions?

Key Topics Covered Life Lessons from Officiating a Wedding Karl opens up about his experience presiding over his niece's wedding. He shares heartfelt advice on partnership, the value of keeping your inner child alive, embracing life's ups and downs, and why “together forever” is a powerful North Star for couples and business partners alike. The importance of mindset—advancing, not retreating, in marriage and business—is highlighted, along with practical methods for maintaining positivity (like using standup comedy as a daily mood boost). Licensing vs. Franchising—Profit Powerhouses Explained Karl breaks down the pivotal difference between licensing and franchising, offering memorable real-world examples: Licensing: Earning royalties from intellectual property (like Disney does by licensing characters for merchandise) with little risk or hard cost. Franchising: Replicating a full business model with training and brand support (think McDonald's, Subway). He spotlights the Blue Man Group's scalable licensing as a model for exponential growth and contrasts it with Siegfried & Roy's limited, high-earning but labor-dependent Vegas act. Karl also details what makes a business franchisable—and why some aren't. Warren Buffett's Rules and Strategies for Success Karl distills Warren Buffett's timeless investment wisdom for coaches and entrepreneurs: Understand and stick to the rules (profit, repeat business). Seek high-margin, habit-forming opportunities (buy for a penny, sell for a dollar). “Rule #1: Don't lose money. Rule #2: See rule #1.” Build a personal brand and keep clients just like getting clients. Practice extreme clarity: know what to say “yes” and “no” to. Harness the power of compounding, but don't wait ten years—use marginal utility theory for rapid incremental growth. Clarity, Focus, and Avoiding Distractions Karl ties elite execution to laser clarity—most entrepreneurs fail because of distraction or lack of clear direction. Eliminating distractions (social media, busy work) is as vital as mastering strategy. He advocates for serving first, delivering value before a sale, and focusing on the biggest problems you can solve. Coaching Operating Systems and Retention Practical advice centers on using a proven coaching operating system (like Karl's Jumpstart 12 or Profit Acceleration Software) to guarantee client wins, profit acceleration, and long-term engagement.

In this insightful episode of "Shark Theory," Baylor Barbee takes listeners on a reflective journey through his experiences at a recent charity golf tournament. Baylor explores how golf, a seemingly simple sport, mirrors the complexities and realities of life. Throughout the episode, he shares lessons on personal growth, perseverance, and the importance of surrounding oneself with positive influences. As he recounts his day on the greens with friends, Baylor uses anecdotes to illustrate powerful life lessons, much to the enjoyment of his listeners. Baylor draws clear parallels between golf and life's journey, emphasizing the significance of personal relationships and self-awareness in achieving happiness and success. The podcast delves into themes of authenticity and perspective, stressing that even the pros err, and mistakes are integral to growth in both life and golf. He reflects on embracing failures, understanding one's season in life, and granting oneself the grace to learn, grow, and enjoy the game of life. Through his experiences, listeners are encouraged to assess their environments and circles, always seeking to improve themselves and their situation. Key Takeaways: Surround Yourself with Positive Influences: The people you choose to engage with can significantly impact your personal and professional journey. Embrace Mistakes as Learning Opportunities: Like golf, life is filled with errors, but they can teach you valuable lessons and foster personal growth. More Isn't Always Better: Quality outweighs quantity. Focus on managing what you have effectively before seeking more. Go Above and Beyond: Exceeding expectations can open new opportunities, evidenced by the charitable acts seen during a charity golf event. Keep Perspective in Check: Recognize where you are in your journey, understand the challenges of learning new skills, and provide yourself with grace and patience. Notable Quotes: "You can't grow in an environment that's extremely toxic." "Give yourself grace, especially when you're learning a new skill." "More isn't always better. Often, what you have is enough to get to the next step." "Sometimes, in life, you'll be going on a tangent and you just lose your path; you just have to go back to the middle and restart." "Be happy with where you're at with what you have because that's all you need to get to the next step in your life."

Bible Reading: Proverbs 4:20-27; Matthew 14:22-32Mara climbed up onto the beam Dad had built for her. She was determined to make the school gymnastics team, but after taking a few steps, she wobbled and nearly slipped off. "Focus your eyes on that picture you put up," Mom said. While staring at the picture on the wall across the room, Mara slowly lifted her foot. But when she glanced back at her mother, she tilted to the left and then swayed to the right. She tried to regain her balance, but had to hop down to keep from toppling off the beam. She climbed back up. "I'm gonna get this," she said. "I just have to focus."After dinner that evening, Dad opened his Bible and handed it to Mara. "Why don't you read a few verses from Proverbs for us?" "Okay." Mara took the Bible and began to read. When she finished, she looked up. "Proverbs 4:25 sounds like good advice for gymnastics. I need to look straight ahead and keep my eyes from wandering. Every time I lose my focus, I lose my balance."Mom nodded. "I have trouble with that too.""You do?" Mara grinned. "Do you get up on the beam and practice when I'm not around?"Mom laughed. "No, but I have trouble in another area. As Christians, we need to keep our focus on Jesus so we don't get distracted by things in this world and lose our balance in life."Mara thought about that. "When I practice for gymnastics, I stare at that picture on the wall. But how do we focus on Jesus?""Good question," said Dad. "The passage you just read listed some ways to do that. Do you remember what it said we should do?""I know!" said Mara's little brother. "It said we should pay attention to what God says.""And keep it in our hearts and not let it out of our sight," added Mara.Dad nodded. "Right. That means putting our faith in Jesus and looking to His Word for guidance in our lives. It also means confessing our sins to Jesus and trusting Him for the power to obey Him and show His love to others. Focusing our lives on Him will keep us in perfect balance."–Nance E. Keyes How About You?Do you focus on Jesus as you go about each day? Do you remember all He's done for you and the love and forgiveness you have in Him? Do you trust Him to help you turn from sin and treat others with kindness? There are lots of things that need our daily attention, but don't let them draw you away from what's really important. Stay focused on Jesus and depend on Him to help you in every area of life.Today's Key Verse:Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. (NIV) (Proverbs 4:25)Today's Key Thought:Focus on Jesus

CHRISTIAN LIFE COACH COLLECTIVE- Change Your Life, Start a Coaching Business, Walk in Your Calling
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY IN COACHING- This episode challenges the myth that a full calendar equals a successful business. I'm inviting you to rethink the way you measure growth — and giving you permission to serve fewer clients with deeper impact and sustainable energy. Let's stop chasing numbers and start building meaningful relationships that bear fruit. KEY TAKEAWAYS A smaller client load can actually lead to greater transformation. Saying no protects your energy, your excellence, and your joy. Focus on meaningful, committed relationships over filling every spot. LISTENER CHALLENGE Take 10 minutes this week to review your current client load and ask: Is this pace sustainable? Do I feel energized or drained? Are my clients getting my best? Would fewer clients actually allow for more impact? Does this match the kind of life and business I want to build? If you're a newer coach, consider how you will scale down over time if you begin by working with everyone who comes your way.

Story at-a-glance Cooling down after exercise is not essential for everyone, but it offers benefits for blood pressure regulation and circulation, especially for older adults, people with heart conditions, or anyone finishing strenuous exercise Research shows cooling down doesn't measurably reduce soreness or boost performance, but it helps the body shift out of effort more smoothly and comfortably, similar to gradually braking a car Active cooldowns, such as brisk walking or cycling at low intensity, are more effective than complete rest for clearing lactate, improving mobility, and reducing exercise-induced immune suppression People who train at night or under chronic stress, as well as those doing intense training, benefit most from cooldowns as they help regulate the nervous system and support better sleep If you're stretching during cooldowns, I recommend doing active isolated stretching (AIS) instead of static ones. Focus on a gentle range of motion within your comfort zone rather than forced stretching
At the end of 2023, there was this phrase I kept hearing in my head on repeat. "It doesn't feel safe to slow down."I'd end my days feeling completely depleted mentally, physically, and emotionally. And yet I'd still push myself to do more. Sometimes it was work stuff, sometimes it was home stuff. But I had this constant, almost compulsive need to be doing something productive at all times. Rest felt elusive, like this thing other people could do, once they'd earned it. For me, rest basically just meant sleep. It was a quick reset so I could get up and do it all over again.Sound familiar? Let's figure out how we can unlearn that habit.-----Episode Mentioned: 314.

Leverage Your Incredible Factor Business Podcast with Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, MBA
This MTM Minute is powered by Move to Millions Live 2025 After Party The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode. You are ENOUGH to transform lives! In this week's full-length episode of the Move to Millions Podcast, Play Big Series Part Four: Moses, discusses how to embrace bold leadership using the powerful example of Moses. Learn how to step into your calling and confront your business challenges with courage, trust, and action. Discover how to stop shrinking back, stop making excuses, and trust that what you have in your hand is enough to achieve seven-figure success. Dr. Darnyelle shares the powerful lessons from Moses' story that teach us how to lead with confidence, leverage obedience for growth, and use what's already in your hand to create lasting business success. This episode is for entrepreneurs ready to rise and lead with boldness, just like Moses did. If you're ready to play big and elevate your business, this episode will show you how to face fear and take action toward the abundance and success you deserve. This episode will inspire you to stop shrinking back and step into the leader you're called to be. Learn how to leverage what's already in your hands, and take bold action toward seven-figure success. If you're ready to stop making excuses and start leading with courage, this episode is for you. This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is "I was called to lead with boldness, just like Moses. I trust that the challenges I face are not obstacles, but opportunities to step into my destiny. I am equipped with everything I need to succeed, and I embrace the leadership role that God has given me. I refuse to let fear or self-doubt hold me back—I move forward with courage and confidence, knowing that my leadership is what will transform lives and elevate my business to seven figures. I trust in the process and know that I am destined for greatness." Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Embrace Leadership with Boldness: Identify one area of your business where you've been playing small. Today, take bold action—whether it's making a tough decision or taking the first step toward a new opportunity. Boldness leads to breakthroughs. Leverage What's Already in Your Hand: Like Moses with his staff, you already have the tools you need to succeed. Focus on what's available to you right now—your skills, experiences, and resources—and use them to propel your business forward. Stop waiting for the "perfect" moment. Stop the Excuses: Moses was reluctant to step into his calling because of self-doubt. Identify the excuses that have been holding you back from playing bigger and challenge them. Move from excuses to execution—take one concrete action that will move you closer to your seven-figure goal. Affirm with me: "I was called to lead with boldness, just like Moses. I trust that the challenges I face are not obstacles, but opportunities to step into my destiny. I am equipped with everything I need to succeed, and I embrace the leadership role that God has given me. I refuse to let fear or self-doubt hold me back—I move forward with courage and confidence, knowing that my leadership is what will transform lives and elevate my business to seven figures. I trust in the process and know that I am destined for greatness." And this week's journal prompts are: "The leadership challenge I am facing right now is... "One area where I've been holding myself back in my business is... "To embrace the leadership that's been placed on my life, I will move with courage by..." And Your Prayer Of The Week: Heavenly Father, We thank You for the courage and strength You've given us to step into leadership, just as You called Moses to lead with boldness. We ask that You guide us to trust the process, especially when the path seems unclear. Help us to see challenges not as setbacks but as opportunities for growth, leadership, and influence. May we not shrink back in fear, but rise to the occasion with confidence, knowing that You have equipped us for this season. Lead us toward seven-figure success with grace, integrity, and boldness, just as Moses led his people to their freedom. Empower us to take action today, trusting that our obedience will lead to greatness. In Your name, I pray. And So it Is. Amen.

Here's a simple 5-step method I created to help stay calm, present, and grounded when you're facing uncertainty and bracing for the unknown. In this episode, I'm diving into a mindset strategy that helped me through a really intense week filled with anxiety and uncertainty. When life feels overwhelming and fear creeps in, it's so important to have a simple plan to stay grounded. I'll walk you through the exact five steps I used to calm my mind, stay present, and truly enjoy the moments that mattered most. If you ever find yourself stuck in a cycle of worry, these steps will help you find your way back to peace. Action Plan: 1 - Acknowledge your awareness: Notice when your mind is jumping ahead to worst-case scenarios — awareness gives you back your power. 2 - Set a clear intention: Decide to stay grounded and present, even when challenges are looming. 3 - Focus on your breath: Take three deep, intentional breaths to signal to your body that it's safe. 4 - Tune into your senses: Name three things you can see, hear, or feel to anchor yourself to the present moment. 5 - Redirect your thoughts: Practice gratitude, flip a negative "what if" into a positive one, and envision something you're excited about.

This week on the podcast, I'm sharing my conversation with award-winning teacher, researcher and best-selling author, Cassie Holmes. Cassie Mogilner Holmes is a chaired professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management, an award-winning teacher and researcher on time and happiness, and bestselling author of Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most. Cassie's research examines such questions as how focusing on time (rather than money) increases happiness, how the meaning of happiness changes over the course of one's lifetime, and how much happiness people enjoy from extraordinary versus ordinary experiences. Across these inquiries, her findings highlight the joy that stems from interpersonal connection and paying attention to the present moment. In our conversation, we explore just this. And Cassie provides tools and insights to help us identify what matters to us so we can experience more joy in the everyday.

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear peaceful river sounds. Improve your health and happiness.The sound you hear in this episode creates a calm atmosphere and at the same time blocks out disturbing noises. This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears. If you have trouble hearing or ringing in your ears, stop listening to the white noise immediately and see an audiologist or your doctor.

Every single man listening to this is familiar with discipline and has applied it (to varying degrees) in his life. We generally think of discipline as an overall good thing (and, I think it is) but it can often lead to bouts of frustration and unnecessary suffering if utilized incorrectly. My guest today, Craig Ballantyne, makes the case that discipline, although, a powerful force for productivity comes with strings attached, and isn't the end-all, save-all it's often made out to be. Today, we talk about what true discipline is not, why chasing the wrong target is so common and what to do about it, what I call the “self-help hangover” and how to avoid it, why you should know the distinction between standards and expectations, and how to avoid what Craig calls, “The Doom Loop” in your life.

Today on Talk To Me, I'm talking with Haven who has struggled in her life to feel and believe the false narrative that it's all on her. She has to do it all. She has to save everyone, help everyone, do everything — be all things to all people. It's all on her. This mindset has caused her to struggle over the years…and she's having to unlearn some of these unhealthy narratives and get to the root of where they came from to begin with.
