The world would tell you that you are nothing without a special relationship. That you are nothing without family relationships. That you are nothing without friendships. Ultimately, the world makes you feel weird and wrong if you do not have an abundance of relationships. . I home-educate my children and the first question most people ask is about socialisation as if my children are to be defined by how many friends they have. . And because of this false focus, people end up being emotionally (or even physically) abused in relationships, just so they can say they have them. . And emotional abuse is not always obvious. . It can just be YOU being anything OTHER THAN YOU in order to feel part of a tribe of people you do not even really like. . But you convince yourself you do. . Because you think you HAVE TO. . And because of this, you are not friends with yourself. You are continually putting your own awesome self down, trying to fit in, trying to blend in, trying to be accepted, wondering if you are enough. . Now, I do not mean you have to be alone all the time. . But is it really the worst thing in the world? . So many visions and dreams are not created because people focus all their energy on fixing relationship dramas. . AND YOU DO NOT QUESTION ANY OF IT. . You just assume it is the way it HAS TO BE. . But why? . Really, WHY? . I know you can quote all the studies about how relationships help your mental health but what of when the relationships are the very cause of your mental health issues. . Desperation to have relationships means for most people, that they settle for ANY OLD RELATIONSHIPS. . There are 7+ billion people on the planet. . Is it possible that if you got on with living the life you ACTUALLY Want to live, that you might come across some like-minded people that share the same values and ideas that you do? . People who would actually enhance your every day life and you could enhance theirs. . Rather than getting stuck with people simply because you were born into a certain family or went to a certain school or worked a certain job or whatever. . What if you got deliberate about your internal relationship with yourself? . Healed the rift between your masculine and feminine parts and while doing that, got yourself on your TRUE DESIGN path and trusted that the right people would be found there. . What if you understood unconditional love by connecting deliberately to the Divine? . Maybe you would stop being taken in by the counterfeit version of love!! . YOU ARE NOT DEFINED BY THE NUMBER OF RELATIONSHIPS YOU HAVE or DON'T HAVE. . Set yourself free! . If you are deeply honest, there is a part of you that actually finds relationships tedious. . But you keep beating yourself up and forcing yourself to do things you do not want to do. . Learn to love, trust and accept yourself, my love. . YOU ARE ENOUGH. . Join me for LIMITLESS. . The brand new immersion program currently being played out live in the DELIBERATE MILLIONAIRE ASSEMBLY and only available within the ABUNDANCE LIBRARY. Repair your relationship to the Divine. Repair your relationship to love. Repair your relationship to money. https://mibusiness.lpages.co/the-abundance-library/ Much Amazing Love
A meet-cute is pretty well-named. It’s the exact moment of a romantic story when the leads meet for the first time and it HAS TO BE cute. They might collide and pour coffee on each other, share an excellent conversation in an elevator, or just bicker like no one’s watching at a business meeting. The point is, if the chemistry sizzles, you know they’ll be kissing right before the credits roll. Listen in for insights into the pros and cons of meet-cutes generally, plus a deep-dive discussion into the meet-cutes of When Harry Met Sally..., Sleepless in Seattle, What's Up, Doc?, Serendipity, and 50 First Dates.

One of the things I coach my clients on around the job interview is how to answer the question, “Why should I hire you?” Or, as I like to put it, “Why should I stop the interview process right now and offer the job to you?” Here's the kind of answers I most often get: “I'm a hard worker.” “I'm a team player.” “I'm good with numbers.” (for an accounting position) “I'm very analytical.” (for an analyst position) Do you see the problem here? These answers are completely non-differentiating. Let's look at the reverse: Has anyone, ever, gone into an interview proclaiming that they are a slacker? Has anyone, ever, stated in an interview that they are a loner? Has anyone, ever, stated in an interview for an accounting position that they AREN'T good with numbers? Has anyone, ever, stated in an interview for a business analyst position that they AREN'T analytical? NOW do you see the problem? You are a brand, just like Nike, Starbucks, and McDonalds. Let's pretend Nike, Starbucks, and McDonalds are interviewing with you for a job. Nike wants to be hired as your athletic shoes. You ask Nike, “Why should I hire you?” Nike says, “Because I stay on your feet.” (As opposed to the other athletic shoe candidates, who regularly fall off your feet.) Starbucks, when asked the same question, states: “Because I keep you awake.” (As opposed to the other coffee candidates, who put you to sleep.) McDonald's states: “Because my food will fill you up.” (As opposed to the other fast food candidates, who make you hungry.) Next, next, and next. You want to know what it is about Nike shoes that will compel you to buy them. Why you should select Starbucks over other coffee chains, local coffee shops, or just making coffee at home. The benefit of eating McDonald's for lunch over the other options. Now back to you and that “Why should I stop the interview process right now and offer you the position?” question. I want to offer five different approaches to answering this interview question. 1. What you are consistently successful with. Here's your chance to talk about what you've done repeatedly. For example: “Throughout my seven years with XYZ Company, I've been asked to turn around four underperforming departments. When I came into each department, there were issues around work output, engagement, and product quality. “Some examples of the improvements I made in these departments are: (give metrics)…” This approach requires you to 1) have a track record of success, 2) be able to articulate that success, and 3) provide evidence of that success. 2. Your secret sauce. This one often goes hand-in-hand with the previous one. This is where you talk about HOW you are successful…not in specific terms because they don't get to know that unless they hire you, but in broad brush strokes. For example: “My ability to spearhead these turnarounds is due to well-developed analytical and listening skills, meaning that I figure out what the root causes of the problems are, and I listen to what the staff are saying…and not saying. “I also have built trust with upper management so when I come to them with my proposal, they trust that I'm on the right track and will execute the turnaround efficiently and effectively. “ This approach requires you to 1) be very clear on how you approach these problems differently than other people do, and 2) be able to articulate that difference in a compelling manner. 3. What others say about you. This approach HAS TO BE backed up. It's best when you say what a SPECIFIC person has said about you, and then you give an example of that thing they said about you. For example: “My current supervisor, Joan Smith, recently told me she was going to have to find something wrong with me, because she couldn't keep giving me perfect performance evaluations. “She said this because of the volume of work I do that has allowed her to triple her client caseload, the quality of my work that keeps clients coming back to her, and the thoroughness of the research I conduct in preparing documents for her.” Note this is very different from you, giving your opinion of yourself. Joan Smith is a third-party expert, so what she says about you is unbiased and carries much more weight. This approach works best if, for example, Joan Smith is either one of your references, has written a letter of recommendation for you, and/or has recommended you on LI. 4. Your unique constellation of attributes. This one is my answer. While there are others out there who also hold each of the credentials I hold, I know of no one who holds them all…in combination with my skills and personality. For example: “I'm one of 23 Master Resume Writers in the world, I am a Certified Job Search Strategist, a Certified Executive and Leadership Development Coach, a Master Practitioner of the MBTI, and I have a master's degree in Public Administration. “Further, I have 20+ years' experience managing two university career centers, plus more than a decade of managing my own practice. “Finally, my clients love my personality – the warmth, humor, and honesty with which I interact with them. I can honestly say there is no one out there who can claim all of that like I can.” Note: this approach works very well in fields where credentials, certifications, and continuing education are highly valued. This approach requires you to 1) have a unique constellation of attributes, and 2) be able to articulate that constellation. 5. An experience no one else is likely to have. Keep in mind that this has to be truly differentiating. Use this approach if there is something in your work history that is highly unique. For example: “I come into this position with X years' experience with your primary competitor. As a result of this experience…” You could also talk about unique sector experience, such as: “Because I served in the military for X years, I am able to…” Or maybe it's breadth of experience: “I come into this HR role with experience in government, Fortune 500, startups, and rapid growth companies. Because of this breadth of experience, I am able to…” This approach requires you to 1) have a truly unique background, 2) be able to articulate that background, and 3) relate that background to the benefits you will provide to the employer. Pick one of these approaches and map out your answer to the question “Why should I hire you?” Then practice it in front of a mirror. Your final step should be to practice your answer in front of an expert such as myself, who can evaluate whether you've truly differentiated yourself. Here's the payoff to doing this deep dive on a single interview question: You become name-brand…highly desirable…sought after. The alternative? You are generic. The low-cost alternative, chosen ONLY because of price. Be the brand-name option – it's totally available to you.

Setting the intentions for your life is critical to living an authentically. Your intentions setup the trajectory of your life. And that HAS TO BE set. If not by you, then your life's trajectory will be determined by someone else, who ever has the most influence on your life at that time; your parents, your religion, the music you listen, or culture you're apart of, etc..
In the case of strangers (those we're not overly familiar with), we may not know all of their struggles. But we can still give to them. Whether it's $5, $2, or a prayer, we can sow a generous Kingdom seed, of Holy Spirit' choosing, into their lives. Let's challenge ourselves to do a little better with that. In the case of our marriages (those we are familiar with), let's find creative ways to still be generous, even when we feel we have a "right" to be selfish. And, perhaps even when we don't feel we want to give anything positive at all. Giving never HAS TO BE excessively lavish or grandiose. It just has to be sincere. That's all God asks of us when we give. So, let's challenge ourselves to be more generous with our time, wherewithal, and other resources and simply, "give what you have at hand."
