In this episode of Unscripted, I talk about how building relationships and connections has helped grow my business over the years. Often, we think of HOW we will grow our business, rather than thinking of WHO can help us build our business. I share my experience meeting successful entrepreneurs like Gary Vaynerchuk and Jeff Fenster at an event, and being part of Chris and Lori Harder's Mastermind, and how small actions like attending networking opportunities can lead to big rewards through an expanded network over time. You'll learn tips for overcoming limiting beliefs to achieve success, taking control of your own path, and the importance of surrounding yourself with mentors who provide valuable insights for growth. I also share with you that I'm planning an in-person event in San Diego this coming June and would love your feedback!

Goals provide us with direction and purpose, acting as the foundation for every significant endeavor. Your goals should be written down, but they don't need to be lengthy or complex.  How to Get Started You can start with just the following items: Current situation: What is your current or anticipated financial capacity within a reasonable time frame? Get preapproved for an investor loan to determine your accessible credit limit. Financial end goal: Typically, this refers to an income goal, like earning $10,000 a month in today's dollars. Time frame: The less time you have to reach your goal, the more initial capital and credit you will require. However, goals by themselves are not enough. Goals without an action plan are merely daydreams. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's episode is a reboot from the archive with a few upgrades. I decided to bring this one back after a recent experience as a vendor at the local Farmer's Market. I wasn't your typical vendor–a life coach amidst vegetable stands and woodworkers and handmade soap purveyors. And my offer wasn't typical either: Answer one question to be entered in a raffle for a hundred dollar gift card. The question I posed to visitors to my booth was one that I also posed on this podcast a couple years ago, in episode 16. The conversations and insights that the question generated at the farmer's market were so high-quality that it inspired me to bring it back to the front burner for all of us today. Embrace the urgency of your mortality and unleash your true potential by challenging yourself with one question: If I only had five years to live, what would I start doing differently today?   In this episode: Delve into the transformative impact of using mortality as a compass for living a life you'll be outrageously proud of when you die. Discover the value of imposing an artificial five-year expiration date on your life to clarify what matters most and make big changes. Reflect upon what you would change if granted a limited time. Begin steering your own course with purpose and courage, transforming discomfort into a catalyst for growth and adventure. The power of a five-year timeline comes from the clarity it provides in defining what's truly important in our lives. Imagining life with an explicit deadline compels us to take more risks, make bolder decisions, and pursue our desires and ambitions. A five-year timeline challenges the complacency of postponing dreams and aspirations. With five years to live, you can't just have an extended farewell tour! You still have to put food on the table and keep a roof over your head. How will you live? How will you use the time? Tune in to the full (short!) episode for the whole story.   More Provisions for the Journey If you have the guts to begin asking yourself this question and acting on your answers, you'll be in for an exhilarating ride. AND, you'll invite some other tough customers into your life in a new way--like fear, doubt, and new kinds of discomfort. As I said at the beginning, this simple question can revolutionize your life...and it's far from easy to follow through on your answers. A few other episodes of Andrew Petty is Dying provide tools for mastering fear, doubt, and discomfort:  If fear is getting the best of you, listen to Ep. 005, How to Become the Boss of Your Fear: Bravery-building to Live With More Guts and Gusto.  If you're tempted to feel like you don't have much to offer, listen to Ep. 003, How to Turn Your Imperfections Into Superpowers: The Key to Unlocking Your Unique Purpose  If life's stiff winds are threatening to sink your ship, listen to Ep. 012, How to Harness the Winds of Discomfort to Get Where You Want to Go: Becoming a Seasoned Sailor on the Seas of Life I'm rooting for you, and I believe you have what it takes.  Remember, you are going to die. But you're not dead yet. So get after it!   Seize the Moment: Tomorrow Never Comes If something within you is awakening to the challenge posed by the 5-year question, then seize the moment. As Jon Ritner mentioned in the previous episode, exercise the 10-second rule and resolve to do something about it now. The first step could be as easy as connecting with me to schedule a free coaching session. Visit andrewpettycoach.com to do that today.  Also, summon the courage to participate in the one-day Andrew Petty Coaching event coming up on October 14, here in Steamboat Springs. Jon Ritner and I will host an immersive experience called The Best is Yet to Come: Rediscovering an Ancient Compass for a Life of Purpose and Adventure Today. You will emerge from that experience equipped to deploy the Hero's Journey framework that Jon and I discussed in episode 86 to slay the dragons of fear, boredom, stuckness, and lack of purpose by accepting the call to adventure and becoming the hero in your own story. If you haven't listened to episode 86 yet, cue it up now, and stay tuned for more details about how to secure your spot at The Best is Yet to Come on October 14.  Thank you once again for your time and attention.

Garrett Schwarz uses three stories to share how his life has been made better because of dedication and commitment.

“Not only did this hero's journey resonate with a desire we all have, it felt like it told the story of the life I was actually living. And I think I realized that it wasn't a one-time adventure–that it had the potential to be a pattern or a framework that I could lean into and try to follow over and over again in order to find more meaning, more purpose, and more transformation in my life. In many ways it was what I was missing back in Virginia. I realized it was offering me a pathway, almost like guideposts on the journey that could deliver the things I wanted more of in life, which were meaning and purpose and significance.”  -Jon Ritner   Boredem, confusion, aimlessness, lack of purpose, lack of fulfillment, and a host of other emotional and psychological woes. These are some of the problems that, though they're not entirely new to humanity, seem especially rampant in the affluent Western world today. You might even be able to relate to one or two of them yourself.  When the modern age doesn't offer many useful remedies to these ills, where else can we look? It's time to return to the "old roads," to quote a line from an Andrew Peterson song. It's time to return to wisdom that has been generated over generations and stood the test of time. It's this wisdom that my long-time friend and colleague, Jon Ritner, and I unpack together in this episode through the lenses of our own stories.  It's the wisdom contained in The Hero's Journey, a compass for living derived, surprisingly enough, from humankind's core mythologies.  In this episode, you'll get a crash course in the Hero's Journey and an introduction to how to begin using it in your own life right now to vanquish the dragons of boredom, confusion, aimlessness, lack of purpose, lack of fulfillment, and the laundry list of other besetting woes. As you vanquish those dragons, you'll discover the treasure behind them that you were uniquely meant to find and share with the world. If you're willing, you're in for the adventure of your life.  This episode is also an appetizer for the main course that Jon and I will serve up this October at a special one-day event designed to fully equip you to use the Hero's Journey in your own life.    Introducing Jon Ritner Jon Ritner and I met in college in the early 90s. We were acquaintances then but became close friends in the years immediately following college, when we were roommates, each of us trying to find ourselves and find our way. We ended up on the same church staff together, a chapter in our stories full of highs and lows and lessons hard-won. We've seen each other at our best, and we've seen each other at our worst. Eventually, our paths diverged, and that's the point at which we pick up Jon's story today.  Jon has served as a pastor for 20 years in various capacities in the US and overseas. Today, he's the Chief Strategy Officer for Communitas International, a global non-profit. He also coaches leaders who are starting and shaping communities to live like Jesus, and the author of Positively Irritating, a philosophical and practical guide for faith leaders navigating the changing cultural realities in the western world. Jon and Kristyn, his wife of 22 years, live in Burbank, CA with their teenage son and daughter.    Highlights from This Conversation What The Hero's Journey is and why it matters in our real-world lives today How The Hero's Journey framework helped Jon make more sense of his life so far, and how it can do the same for you How The Hero's Journey helps Jon live a life of more purpose, meaning, and adventure today, and how it can do the same for you The distinguishing qualities of a Hero, and how to be one Why and how adventure is an antidote to so many of today's besetting woes, like boredom, aimlessness, confusion, and lack of purpose And more. Tune into the full episode for the rest of the good stuff.     SAVE THE DATE: Special Andrew Petty Coaching Event, Saturday October 14, at the Steamboat Social Club (brunch and dinner provided) I'm excited to announce a special Andrew Petty Coaching event–a one-day intensive that combines the inspiration of a great Ted Talk with the relational richness of a long lingering meal and tops it off with the insights and action steps you acquire from personal coaching. The event is called The Best is Yet to Come: Rediscovering an Ancient Compass for Living a Life of Purpose and Adventure. If today's episode has sparked something inside of you, then The Best is Yet to Come is just the thing to propel you forward on your next great adventure. This episode introduced you to The Hero's Journey, but The Best is Yet to Come will go deeper. We'll identify the reasons we so often fluctuate between listlessness and boredom in one season of life and then overwhelming stress and anxiety in the next. We'ill give you language to describe the call on your life as well as license to accept that call with courage and support. We'll help you move from victim to Hero in your own story and empower you to live a life you'll be outrageously proud of when you die. Whether you are just setting out on your journey or are stuck in a rut, this is the right time to declare that the best is yet to come! Keep your eyes peeled for registration details. Still figuring all that out...ha! In the meantime, how can I help you become who you were made to be and live the life you were made to live?

You'll often hear people telling you to "enjoy the journey" rather than just the destination. However, sometimes you just need to do what it takes to get past difficult moments in order to get to your destination. Tim recounts a story from a recent plane trip when a 15-year-old started to be loud and use foul language in the crowded cabin. This was a situation where the wisest thing to do, in order to get home, was just get through the uncomfortable experience — proof that the journey to our destination can be long and difficult. You may encounter people or situations that try to deter you from your goals. You may even come across people who criticize you for trying to reach those goals. But if you stay focused on the destination, you can push through, do what it takes, and be better for it.

The fear is “if I dare to be myself, if I dare to express my voice, if I dare to be who I am, you won't love me, and I'm going to be alone and cursed.” ~ [08:51]  “Life is a series of choices, and some choices can shift the course of our destiny.” ~ [09:32] ~ “Sometimes what your soul guides you to do doesn't always make sense to your mind through your logic, but if you follow your soul and don't compromise your truth you will always be guided to the right people and places, doing the right thing even though the route you take may not be the one you were expecting.” ~ [10:20] ~ “You can't be fulfilled and happy being someone you're not, and you can't be fulfilled and happy living someone else's life. There is no shortage of people that will think they know what is best for your life and your evolution and will have so much advice for you, but the truth is, our souls know.” ~ [12:11] ~ “We're all being guided by wisdom inside of us and innate intelligence which we don't listen to. We're so busy that we're not in tune with it, we're so busy that we distract ourselves, we're so busy that we don't hear our own souls and wisdom deep inside us. We look outside of ourselves for guidance and end up misguided.” ~ [16:51] ~ “People think in manifesting you have to go chase things, create things and make them happen, but in life, you don't get what you want, you don't even get what you pray or visualize about, you get what you are.” ~ [19:11] ~ “Surrender is letting go of control; surrender is letting go of trying to force and manipulate life to fit our limited idea of how we think it should be and who we think we should be. In letting go, we take limitations off life, and we open ourselves to the infinite possibilities.” ~ [25:42] ~ “Surrendering is the most powerful thing we can do as human beings. Surrender is the password to freedom, is the key to the next level, and is the key to true manifestation.” ~ [27:06] ~ “Stop praying for the waves of the ocean to get easier. Instead, develop your mental, emotional and psychological muscle to be able to surf through the waves, you don't have any control of the ocean, but you've control over the training of your mental capacity.”~ [38:35] ~ “Life is a school. Life is a university for our souls' evolution. Every experience, every relationship, every challenge is part of the curriculum for our soul evolution, so every moment is an opportunity to evolve. In every situation, if we are able to learn the lesson, we evolve and graduate to the next level.” ~ [41:28] “Pain is gift, pain is a messenger, pain is your friend, you must learn to pay attention to the pain and embrace the message of the pain because often by acknowledging the pain, the pain is a portal to a deeper level of our truth trying to get our attention.” ~ [49:42] -- FULL SHOW NOTES AT: https://realbusinessconnections.com/episode/kute/

What comes to mind when you hear the word “frontier?” Covered wagons? Lewis and Clark? Space–the “final frontier,” for all you Trekkies out there? Danger, uncertainty, a place to avoid? Or how about excitement, discovery, a place to seek?  In this modern age, the Frontier is neither an idea nor a reality with much apparent relevance or appeal. Most of us tread well-worn paths that lead to familiar destinations in our day-to-day lives.  That, my friend, is a problem, because we were made for the Frontier, and the Frontier was made for us. We are tapping into the fullness of our humanity when we push into uncharted territory. And whether we like it or not, ALL of us will be forced to encounter new Frontiers in one way or another many times in our lives. We might as well be ready for it.  Let's become seasoned Pioneers.    Divine Intervention “God, help. I have no idea what to do. Help me. Please.”  I was on my knees on the floor in what used to be our home office. I was at my wit's end. A work situation was stretching me well beyond my abilities, and I was stuck and scared. I think I've only prayed a handful of truly honest prayers in my life. Not because I ever intentionally set out to utter dishonest prayers, but rather because until I'm truly hard-pressed, until I really feel like my back is up against the wall, I often utter prayers from the head rather than the heart. A prayer that conveys, in essence, “God, I'm working on this thing, but thought I'd loop you in just in case you have anything to offer.” Maybe you can relate to that. On this occasion, though, my prayer was an honest prayer of genuine desperation.  Lest you're tempted to think of me as any more spiritual than is warranted, I have to confess that my phone was on the floor next to me. Because, heaven forbid, what if I missed a game-changing notification of some sort while I was communing with the Divine?! But, as they say, God works in mysterious ways, because as I uttered my desperate prayer, my phone buzzed to announce the arrival of a text. And yes, I checked to see who it was from. “Hang on, God, be right back with you.” It was from my dad who, as it happened, knew I was in the middle of a really challenging situation.  “You will meet God on the frontiers of your own ability,” his text began. “That's where He's waiting for you. Not short of that, or out beyond that where you think you “should” be or you wish you were.”  “Thx, Dad,” I wrote back, with tears of relief rolling down my cheeks and stunned by the way the truth of his words penetrated my heart. “Encouraging and timely. I'm definitely feeling like I'm on the frontier and disoriented. I was on my knees praying when you texted. Thank you.”  “Then go with confidence,” was his simple response. “God is with you.”   The Best Place to Be Go with confidence?  Go with confidence. God is with you.  Though the terrain wasn't any more familiar or any less menacing than before, and the stakes still felt impossibly high, this Frontier was now the best possible place to be rather than a place from which to escape as soon as possible.  In an instant, my relationship with this particular Frontier was transformed. So was my relationship with the Frontier in general.  On the frontiers of my ability, I now saw more clearly, God comes alongside to help me take the next steps. It's not as if he's not with me when I'm operating within my established zone of competence, exactly; it's just that his intervention isn't needed because I'm already up to the task. And far be it from God to be over-responsible and coddling, as we humans are often tempted to be. So, He waits for us out on the bleeding edges of our ability, eager to supply what we need in order to expand our frontiers even farther. The perfect Father. I want to be where God is bringing all of His mighty power to my aid as often as I can be.  My relationship with the discomfort that the Frontier inevitably brings was overhauled, too. Fear, uncertainty, and disorientation are all normal responses to the Frontier. In fact, they're like indicators on our personal dashboard, notifying us that we're approaching unfamiliar territory. Or, they might be indicating that we're actually approaching a familiar border of Frontier territory into which we've never been willing to venture. We just keep bumping up against its borders and retreating as soon as we make contact. As a result, it has remained hostile and unsettled–a barrier to our forward progress.  Now, though, I'm more able to see fear, uncertainty, and disorientation as potentially positive signs that I'm venturing into growth territory rather than warning signs that there's a deadly waterfall ahead. I can say to myself, “Hey, looks like you're scared and disoriented. You must be operating on the frontiers of your own ability. Good work. Stick with it. And remember: God is with you, so go with confidence.” In short, I'm becoming a more seasoned Pioneer. If you share a spiritual orientation similar to mine, then you may already have derived some fresh comfort and motivation from what I've shared thus far–especially if my account has helped you realize that YOU are operating on the frontiers of your own ability right now. But even if you don't have a similar spiritual orientation, it's still true that the Frontier–far from a place of peril and woe to be avoided at all costs–is actually the BEST place to be.    What Makes the Frontier the Best Place to Be? So what makes the Frontier the BEST place to be? Why would we put in the work to become a more seasoned Pioneer? First, whether you find yourself there voluntarily or involuntarily, operating on the frontiers of our own abilities fortifies us against the many perils of this life. It's the metaphorical weight room of our lives, where we add more weight to the bar. Additional weight adds more resistance, and repeated attempts to overcome that resistance give us greater strength, resilience, and adaptability in the face of life's many perils. By contrast and by definition, the complacency and atrophy that come from only ever operating within our abilities are existential threats. Whenever possible, then, voluntarily open up new Frontiers in your life so that you're better prepared for the involuntary Frontiers that Life will inevitably bring your way. Secondly, operating on the frontiers of our own abilities helps us find our unique Path in the world. You are on the offensive, deploying a spirit of voluntary exploration, seeing “what's out there,” so to speak, rather than hoping that “what's out there” will come find you. You are creating your own storyline within the ancient tale of human exploration and adventure. When we test ourselves on the Frontier, we come to understand more clearly the kind of human we are and what our ideal operating conditions are like. We also come to understand more clearly what kind of human we are NOT and what our adverse operating conditions are like.  As we begin to travel our unique Path in life, we begin to fulfill purposes along that Path that are uniquely ours to fulfill. We take our place in the world and in the grand Story of humankind. You are wind in the sails of the human enterprise rather than an anchor holding it back.  Thirdly, in time, new Frontiers become settled territory. They are no longer the realm of the unknown but get enfolded into the realm of the Known. They define the new borders of your expanded zone of competence. From those new borders, you can venture into new Frontiers that were once well beyond your reach. In addition to greater personal strength and the fulfillment that comes from treading your own Path, you now have more power and influence to wield for the world's good.    Become a Seasoned Pioneer The Frontier is the best place to be. On the frontiers of our own ability, we get stronger, we find our unique Path in life, and we acquire more power and influence to wield for the world's good.  We were made for the Frontier, and the Frontier was made for us. We are tapping into the fullness of our humanity when we push into uncharted territory. And whether we like it or not, ALL of us will be forced to encounter new Frontiers in one way or another many times in our lives. So we might as well be ready for it.  It's good to become a more seasoned Pioneer? What's your relationship with the Frontier like? What kind of Pioneer are you? Do you consistently recoil in fear or automatically register the indicators on your dashboard as a signal to turn around? Maybe some Frontiers–at work, for example–are welcome challenges but others–at home, for example–are confusing and anxiety-provoking. Whatever your relationship with the Frontier is like, what's just one way you could upgrade it? Start where you are, summon the courage to venture just a little bit more into the Frontier, and hold that new ground with tenacity–through all of the attending discomfort–until it becomes part of your settled territory. Then, advance again, Pioneer. And for some extra status-quo-busting motivation, remember: You ARE going to die. But you're not dead yet.

Just three years ago, in the dark of night on a battlefield in a foreign land, Army Ranger Sergeant First Class Ryan Davis was hanging on to life by the very slimmest of threads.  The tale of heroism, selfless love and courage, and perseverance in the midst of profound physical, emotional, and psychological suffering that unfolded on and after that battlefield incident is nothing short of mindblowing. It's the stuff for which Medals of Honor are awarded. In fact, Medal of Honor petitions have been submitted for individuals involved in Ryan's rescue. It's the stuff out of which new battlefield protocols and medical interventions are developed. In fact, new protocols and interventions have been developed as a result of lessons learned. And it's the stuff on which Hollywood blockbusters and award-winning documentaries are based.   In short, it's the kind of story for which I have absolutely no frame of reference, and neither do most of you, I would imagine. Ryan was pushed to the extremes of human experience and lived to tell the tale. And tell the tale he does--in this episode, for you and me.   It would be easy to spend an entire episode and then-some on the battlefield incident itself and the harrowing ups and downs of his recovery from it. But I did my best to manage my curiosity about those chapters of Ryan's story so that we could also explore what Ryan has learned on the extreme frontiers of human experience that we can integrate into our lives now--before a crisis hits or Mortality makes a surprise appearance. Because those who venture to the outer limits of human experience and return have knowledge that the rest of us need.  Today, in some of the most fundamental ways, 10-year Army Ranger veteran Ryan Davis is literally and figuratively a new man. Precisely how will become clearer as you listen to our conversation.  As you listen, though, don't fail to look for how Ryan's Story has insight that you can put into Action in your own life. Insight + Action = Transformation. Don't overlook the Transformation potential available to you in Ryan's harrowing tale--as different from your own Story as it may be.  Because no matter how different the specific circumstances of each of our Stories may be, we are all caught up in the same Big Story of humans trying to find their way through Life on Planet Earth. That's where Ryan's story and your story converge.  Tune in to the full episode for the whole story and all of Ryan's hard-won wisdom for your life.  Highlights from This Episode Ryan shares a blow-by-blow account of the battlefield encounter that changes his life forever Ryan shares the two moments that turned the tide in his recovery.  Ryan shows us how the body follows the mind–for better or for worse. The choice is yours.  Ryan explains how to use our pain to propel us forward in life.  How to transform your minutes into “moments” Separating your job from your Purpose What Ryan knows because of his experience that the rest of us need to know What's most important to Ryan now   Redeeming Ryan's Suffering In Your Own Life "We've stared this in the eye and we've cried at it and we've screamed at it and we've fought with it and we do not fold to it." Ryan said this in reference to how he and his son have responded to Ryan's new reality. This, my friends, is sometimes what it takes to keep moving forward in life. Resolve. Grit. An unwillingness to give in or give up, no matter what life throws at us. An unwavering determination to keep going. The spirit of a warrior.  Among many, many things, this sticks with me from Ryan's story. I want to embody and exhibit the spirit of a warrior in life--battered and bruised but undefeated to the end, triumphant in death.  What sticks with you? How will Ryan's Story change your Story for the better? Search your heart, be honest, and be specific.  Let Ryan's suffering be redeemed in the fruit that it produces in your life.  May Ryan's sacrifice be redeemed in all of our lives.    The Graveyard Group: Win on the Battlefield of Your Mind and Die With No Regrets Don't wait to encounter your Mortality until you have to. By then, it's too late to change anything. There's no do-over.  In the Graveyard Group, you intentionally confront the reality of your Mortality to tap into its incomparable power to motivate you to give what matters most the attention it deserves NOW. You do this with the help of your own personal, confidential board of advisors. Along the way, you overcome obstacles, mend relationships, make dreams a reality, become the person you were made to be, and live the life you were made to live with guts, gusto, and abandon. In short, you fulfill your destiny and set the stage to die with no regrets.  New groups for men and women are forming now.  Go Here to learn more, or email me. I'm so glad you tuned in today.

In 2018, my first full year in business, I hit double six figures on my own, with no support and no overhead. It was a fun year, and frankly I didn't do much to drive sales. Sales literally found me. In 2019 I took a different approach and hit the gas. I became impatient. I multiplied my activity and sales dropped off. In 2020 I again multiplied my activity and sales dropped even lower. I had to learn the difference between urgency and impatience. The primary elements of this episode are:Impatience is driven by insecurity, inadequacy, insignificance, and lack of trust in yourself and life. When you practice impatience, you are living from fear.Urgency is driven by confidence and courage. When you operate from urgency you take advantage of the opportunities placed in front of you, and trust the outcome. The world celebrates impatience - especially hustle whores and grind gurus. They teach you to try to resolve your insecurity, inadequacy, and insignificance through results. Do the opposite. If you want to be successful see what everyone else is doing, and do the opposite. Music Credit: "What's Left of Me" by Wes Hoffman & FriendsLinks & ResourcesTo explore options to create more wealth, success and happiness in your life email me directly at mike@livesoulout.com or put time on my calendar for us to connect.Visit www.LiveSoulOut.com for free resources and tools to create more wealth, success, and happiness in your life and business.Click here to buy a copy of Mike's first book The Imposter in Charge or his new book The Prosperity Principles: Seven Accelerators for Elite Business Owners to Achieve Breakthrough levels of Success and Live Soul Out.About Mike: Mike Kitko is an executive self-mastery coach, speaker and author.

What do we do when life throws us a curveball?  On this podcast, we're equipping ourselves with the mindset and the means to live with guts, gusto, and abandon. Growing in our ability to respond to life's inevitable curveballs requires both evolving our mindset and upgrading our means. And as we get better at responding to life's curveballs, we increase our capacity to live with even more guts, gusto, and abandon.  In this episode, I'll draw from my own recent experience to share with you what I'm learning in real-time about what to do when life throws us a curveball.    A Season of Curveballs It's been a weird start to the year for the Petty family. A season of curveballs, really.  Shortly after Christmas, I cracked a wisdom tooth and had to have it pulled, and then all four of us did our second lap around the block with COVID. In early February, my wife, Charis, suffered a concussion from a fall skiing and was sidelined from life and work for the better part of two weeks. Then, in early March, Charis was sidelined again, this time with excruciating back spasms that came seemingly from out of nowhere. It was Charis' turn yet again in early April, this time with agonizing neck spasms–an episode from which she's still recovering as of this episode's air date. It was horrible to see her in so much pain and not be able to do anything about it.  Then, I summoned the courage to schedule a routine annual check-up with my doctor.  “Summon the courage?” you might very reasonably question. For many, if not most, of you, scheduling a routine check-up isn't a matter of courage but more just a matter of not forgetting to do it. For me, though, the flavor of Anxiety that I can experience around health stuff tempts me to avoid stuff like annual exams because ignorance is bliss, right? Until unavoidable reality shatters that blissful ignorance, of course. So, after a couple years of negligence, I heeded Jordan Peterson's admonition to “treat myself like someone I'm responsible for helping,” grabbed myself by the scruff of the neck, and dragged myself off to the doctor. The Mortality Mindset motivated me here, too, calling me out of the shadows of avoidance and denial and into the light of prudence and reality.  As my doctor walked through the results of my bloodwork with me just a few days ago, I was pleased that so many indicators were positive–much more positive than I'd expected, in fact, or had been the case in previous years. Then, my doctor got to the final result, and his demeanor changed slightly but perceptibly. “Was this a fasting lab?” he asked. “Yes,” I answered. “Why?”   The Latest Curveball Long-story-short, after another blood draw, it turns out that I'm borderline diabetic. At least, that's what I think the result means. I have a follow-up conversation scheduled with the doctor.  To the degree that the title of this podcast was ever merely theoretical or academic to me, this new development made it a whole lot more real and more personal. An actual medical result related to an actual disease that ranks among the top 10 leading causes of death globally.  Curveball.  I've sat with this news over the past few days–aware of a growing heaviness. Becoming aware of the long-term lifestyle implications of a chronic condition. Aware of another reminder of the loss of youth. Perhaps even beginning to grieve a little bit. Aware too that my grief may be very premature because there's still a lot that I don't know. It's been a bit of a roller coaster. I'm still in the awkward early stages of understanding my situation. Whatever my situation truly is, though, it is at least the latest in a series of curveballs.  Which brings us to the question that's at the heart of what we're exploring today: “What do we do when life throws us a curveball?”   What to Do When Life Throws Us a Curveball I'm not going to subject you to what would undoubtedly be a painful attempt to expand the curveball metaphor beyond its useful limits. But I do want to share with you what I'm learning about what to do when life throws us a curveball and how I'm attempting to respond to our current season of curveballs. There's a LOT that could be said about this–maybe even much more that should be said–but I've tried to narrow it down to the essentials to keep it as simple and actionable as possible. Think of what I'm about to share as points on a compass–a compass specially designed to help us navigate our way through life's many challenges even more effectively so we can live with even more guts, gusto, and abandon.  Before I add or mix any more metaphors, we'd better go ahead and jump right in.   When life throws you a curveball… First, summon the courage to acknowledge Reality. It's astonishing how hard this one can really be. In response to something unwanted or unwelcome, especially of the more catastrophic sort, our deep-seated denial mechanisms spring into action. We can even experience a sort of dissociation. This may in some ways be inevitable and unavoidable and even necessary from a psychological survival standpoint. But we do ourselves and others a favor the quicker we are able to acknowledge the new Reality to ourselves and, I suggest, to a few trusted others. Be mindful neither to minimize nor catastrophize, and it will likely require the more objective input of others in order to avoid either extreme.  Acknowledging reality also means allowing yourself to experience the emotions that accompany it, whatever they may be. Attempting to manhandle your emotions into some sort of artificial or premature compliance only drags things out and compounds the impact of the curveball. Be as honest as you know how to be about how you're really feeling. This establishes an emotional starting point from which you can chart a course forward. But until you've established that starting point, very little productive forward movement is possible.  I don't think, however, that acknowledging Reality is the same as accepting Reality–at least not in the early stages. I've acknowledged the Reality that something's wonky with my blood sugar. I've given myself permission to experience the emotions that are presenting themselves. But I'm also well aware that I don't know enough nor have I lived long enough with the implications of this new Reality to have accepted it. Acceptance will come, but I'm not asking that of myself yet.  I've found the Mortality Mindset really useful in my own efforts to acknowledge Reality. Armed with the conscious awareness of my Mortality, I'm more powerfully motivated to experience Life as it IS rather than attempt to escape into wishful thinking and fantasy. The sooner I can embrace what IS, the sooner I can get on with living–even if that living has been substantially altered by the curveball.  The next thing to do when life throws you a curveball is what I'll call “triage and adjust.”  Triage is a term most commonly encountered in emergency medical situations. In case you're unfamiliar with it, triage basically means determining the order in which injured or ill people will receive care, with those most in need of it receiving care first.  In the case of a curveball, after acknowledging the new Reality, it's time to conduct our own triage assessment of the situation and adjust accordingly. When Charis' spasms were at their worst, she was really completely out of commission. My triage assessment led me to prioritize Charis' and my wellbeing first–the whole airplane oxygen mask idea, then our boys' wellbeing, then work and other obligations. The assessment helped me determine how to allocate my time, energy, and other resources in response to the curveball.  Maybe that seems like a Captain Obvious assessment. But what I can be tempted to do, and I bet some of you can relate, is to try to keep up my pre-curveball levels of productivity and performance even after a curveball has crossed the plate. When curveballs arrive, it's not business as usual. So don't try to act like it is. It's time to triage and adjust. It's time to work WITH the new Reality rather than resist it so you can move through it more effectively.  This episode is actually the result of working WITH the new Reality rather than resisting it. As my production deadline approached, I had nothing. In fact, I had never been so close to my production deadline with nothing already in the works. But, I relaxed and reminded myself that I could trust myself to get it done. The idea and the inspiration would come. Sure enough, the first flicker of an idea popped up when my wife and I were driving to my son's track meet, and she suggested the curveball theme. That led me to begin considering how I had been approaching our season of curveballs and how I could formulate that in a way that might be useful to others. My acknowledgement of our Reality and the subsequent triage and adjustments had led to a super-tight production window. It wasn't business as usual, so I hadn't tried to act like it was. And when I stayed open to working WITH the new Reality, IT ended up working with ME. The final thing to do when life throws you a curveball is get back on the offensive.  Curveballs put us back on our heels–reactive, defensive, reeling a bit. But once we've summoned the courage to acknowledge Reality, triaged, and adjusted, it's time to get back on the offensive. Two questions can help us do that and avoid falling into a passive, victimy mindset: First, what am I able to influence or control in this situation that could improve the situation? Whatever your answer is, do that thing. Maybe you can enlist the help of a medical professional or call upon a friend to watch your kids for a bit. Maybe it's time to cancel some commitments in order to make room for the new Reality. Whatever you can do to improve the situation, take responsibility for doing it.  Next, in what other areas of my life can I continue to advance? It may be that not much about the curveball is within your ability to influence or control. But there are ALWAYS other areas in our lives where we can exert influence or some measure of control and advance. Finding those areas and determining to take Action in them is a powerful way to stay on the offensive in life, even if a curveball has changed life as you knew it.    Landing the Plane Curveballs in life are inevitable. It's not a matter of IF life will throw you one; it's simply a matter of when and what it will be.  Improving our response to life's curveballs, then, is an essential part of living with even more guts, gusto, and abandon. This episode has helped equip us with the mindset and the means to respond to curveballs more effectively.  When life throws us a curveball: First, summon the courage to acknowledge the new Reality.  Next, triage and adjust.  And finally, get back on the offensive.  And through it all, as you try with all your might to respond even more effectively to life's curveballs, shower heaping portions of grace and patience on yourself. You're a wonderful, remarkable, unique, and imperfect human. Value progress over perfection.  Remember: You ARE going to die. But you're not dead yet. So keep getting after it–even if getting after it looks a little different than it used to because life threw you one of its inevitable curveballs. Sometimes, different is better, and sometimes, different is beautiful. And sometimes, as Carl Jung said, “That which you most need will be found where you least want to look.”   What about You? How do you respond to life's curveballs? I'd love to know.  Message me on on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn, visit my website, or email me. I'm so glad you tuned in today.

Turning 40 is a milestone birthday – and perhaps the one that gets people thinking most about where they are at in life. It's an age that involves a lot of looking back and looking forwards and a fair amount of comparing yourself to where others are at. But what do you need to think about in terms of your finances, from pensions, to property, investing and saving? On this podcast – as a certain Georgie Frost turns 40 – Simon Lambert and her take the opportunity to have a look at the financial side of hitting the big 4-0. It's not just for those who are 40, it looks at people's financial life in the decade around this age – and includes plenty of tips relevant to those who are much younger or older. Plus, Simon takes us back in time to what Britain's economy and finances were like 40 years ago in 1982. How much did a house cost? What did people earn? How high were interest rates? And was it better, worse or incomparable?

New Years — a time where we put together our next set of goals, and… all too often promptly forget to make them happen. It can be tough creating new routines to accomplish what we want, but thankfully there are a variety of resources to help us get to where we want to go.On this episode I talk to Author Lia Murati about one of these methods. She's a firm believer in writing down your goals and focusing on what you want — so much so that she's created her own book called The Manifestation Journal. We discuss this, as well as how creativity helps you understand yourself and how life can often imitate fiction.Full Podcast TranscriptTopics Covered:What is a Manifestation Journal?The Power of Writing Things DownMoving to A Different CountryDiffering Views on ManifestationFocusing On What You Actually Care AboutDisciplined FocusBeing Aware of How to Get Where You Want to GoCreativity Helps You Understand SelfFiction Coming True in RealityLinks:Lia's Instagram: @liamuratiBuy Lia's Book: AmazonFollow Jon on Instagram @jontilton and follow the show @causeofcraft.www.causeofcraft.comwww.jontilton.com

Whatever Your Mind Can Conceive and Believe, It Can Achieve.” – Napoleon Hill Today our hosts Brian Duck, Braden Cheek & Joel Thompson from The Criterion Fund review how you can set your goals to make sure they are achievable. Step #1 - Decide what you want in this life. Step #2 - Go and DO IT! Topics discussed: Decide what you want to do and actually go and do it. Don't be afraid of failure. Look at who you are surrounding yourself with. Do these people have what you want out of life? If not, you might have to get some new people to hang out with. Lies that we tell ourselves: #1 You don't have time! - You always have time for what is important. Make the time to make it happen. What you do in your free time will ABSOLUTELY impact your life wether you want it to or not. Lies that we tell ourselves: #2 You don't have enough MONEY! - You don't need your own money. Get a great plan together and get some O.P.M. (Other Peoples Money). Find a mentor to teach and encourage you along the way. It will be a long path and you will have to dig down and eventually find your WHY to keep your going when times get tough. Be more afraid of being average instead of being afraid of failure. *Be Sure to check us out on Spotify and Apple Podcasts for the Audio version of today's episode!** https://open.spotify.com/show/08KmNvqGV5HjmHUC8fLuce https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-invest-in-commercial-real-estate/id1543470290?itsct=podcast_box&itscg=30200 Links mentioned in this episode: www.TheCriterionFund.com www.HowToInvestInCRE.TV Invest.HowToInvestInCRE.com To sign up for our exclusive investor list, click below. https://www.TheCriterionFund.com/Join-Our-Investor-List

Do you have an idea in your head of what your highest self looks like? Do you find yourself focusing so much on becoming that person that you ignore your internal needs? We often convince ourselves that the only way to achieve our goals is to follow strict steps and add more and more into our lives, despite what our intuition tells us. We believe that being "a perfectionist" or "people-pleaser" is who we are, rather than behaviors caused by anxiety. Today's episode of The Self Love Breakfast Club is all about taking care of yourself and listening to your gut, so you can shed the destructive coping strategies preventing you from achieving what you truly want.Tune into this week's solo sesh for a conversation with host Chrystal Rose about what it means to be your highest self and "releasing the attachment of how you get there." Learn to embrace your feelings, accept the obstacles you cannot control, and discover that finding alignment is the key to becoming your best self.Quotes• “No one at their very core self essence is a perfectionist. No one at their very core essence is a people pleaser. Because that is a coping strategy.” (2:52-3:02)• “Your highest self is you fully expressed. It's you living in alignment. It's you listening to your gut and your intuition.” (4:07-4:19)• “You can be happy, you can get to where you want to go.

Hey, sis. Have you ever felt like you needed to make a pivot? Get back to doing you? Or as Auntie Maxine Waters so eloquently said in August 2017: “Reclaiming my time.” It became more than a meme but a Black woman anthem. Albeit the procedural phrase was used to disrupt being interrupted, the words felt poignant. It was beyond the aspect of silencing women in society. “Reclaiming my time” became representative of us speaking up --and showing up –in our personal lives. To make decisions that will lead us to pursue our passions and fulfill our dreams. Becoming intentional about our pursuits instead of staying stuck due to fear or comfortability. When we discover that we've lost ourselves in situations that hold us back, it's time to make the pivots to get where we're destined to be. Perhaps you need to make a decision regarding a relationship that no longer serves you well. Or you wrestle with stepping out on faith to leave the familiar to pursue a new path. Maybe you've decided it's time to share your entire story –- and not the edited social media one, either. Today's guest has done all that – and then some! Today we talk to CEO/Founder of Entrepreneur Business Basics, author and motivational speaker Kira Cheree'. Listen in to this heartfelt discussion as she shares her backstory on going from brokenness to becoming whole, making the pivot to become an entrepreneur and much more. The bonus? If you're a Ruth looking for your Boaz, we also chop it up about her book “I Am Ruth: A Personal Study for Women”. (Sidebar: Find out why Bozo may be showing up instead!)

In today's podcast, I told you a little story about a solo-hike I went up the mountain… and it was SCARY. All the negative thoughts ran through my mind, but I was determined to fight them!  Here's what I decided... Focus like HELL on your first goal. Find the tree! Your business is relatable to YOU. No one else can be you. So focus on YOUR first goal, and make it there! Celebrate the small wins. The “hell yeah's”, the first sale, whatever it is that will keep you going! Focus like HELL, again! Find the riverbed for ALL your worth to get there.  Push out the negative voices! The snakes, the negative thoughts, GET RID OF THEM. You're not gonna find a snake under every rock. And when you do, just shift a little to get around it! Keep moving forward, and look at how far you've come!  You'll feel the pull to go back, but KEEP. PUSHING. FORWARD. Do you want to go back to your old ways, or do you want to keep moving forward? Put one foot in front of the other. Your knees may be sore, but you'll be so proud of yourself for letting go of your crutch, moving forward, trying something new + scary, and ACCOMPLISHING it!
