Your clients don't need you to make everything feel better. They need you to help them trust themselves while feeling uncertain.This is the line between emotional over-holding and confidence building. It's subtle. And if you're a coach who cares deeply about your clients, you've probably crossed it without realizing.Emotional over-holding looks like carrying more of the emotional weight than the client needs. It looks like reassuring excessively, pre-processing their feelings before a session even starts, and softening reality because you're worried about how it will land. It comes from good intentions, but over time, it doesn't build confidence. It can actually erode it.This week, we're sharing six specific patterns that show you where this happens most often. Once you can spot them, you can shift how you guide without becoming cold, disconnected, or less compassionate. Because the goal isn't to care less. It's to help your clients build capacity instead of borrowing yours.Links & Resources:Join the Facebook groupFinancial Coaching EssentialsKey Takeaways:Your job is to present reality clearly, not make it feel better. Emotional over-holding happens when we soften reality or avoid naming the gap because we're worried about how it will land.Hesitation is not the same thing as refusal. Sometimes the most confidence-building thing you can do is guide the direction while allowing space for uncertainty.Buy-in doesn't always look like enthusiasm. Sometimes it's reserved, calm, or cautious. That's okay too.Reassurance should reinforce capability, not certainty. If reassurance helps someone see how far they've come, it builds confidence. If it's used to control what they do next, it starts to feel manipulative.Confidence isn't avoiding struggle. It's the ability to reflect on it without collapsing or indicting yourself when things are hard.Ask yourself: Is this mine to carry or is it theirs to work through? You are there as they work through it, but you are not there to carry it for them.Passion needs guardrails and creativity needs discipline. Without guardrails, everything feels urgent, rest feels irresponsible, and slowing down feels like risk.

You're about to publish something that matters. You reread it. Adjust it. Delay it.It's not that you don't know what to say, it's that being seen at a higher level changes something.In this episode, we explore what's actually happening in that moment.Hesitation operates across three levels — the loop, the pattern, and the root. All three matter. But they do not need to be solved in the same moment.Leadership capacity is built at the level of the loop.You don't need to resolve the root before you expand. You need to be able to return and act from presence.—If you're in that hesitation moment right now, Rapid Reset for Hesitation Loops is a structured tool designed to help you interrupt the loop and move cleanly.Access it here:

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman continue Abraham's story in Genesis 18–23 and watch the promises of God begin to unfold in real and messy ways. From radical hospitality to wilderness rescues, these chapters reveal a God who shows up, pursues, and provides. The lesson begins with Abraham running to welcome divine visitors on an ordinary afternoon, reminding us that the Lord appears in everyday moments and that we choose how fully we invite Him in. Placed beside it is Lot's story, where lingering and looking back contrast with Abraham's trust. Yet even there, the rescue continues. In houses of sin and cities on the brink, God still calls, “Escape,” revealing a heart determined to save. Genesis 21 and 22 then place two powerful stories side by side. In the wilderness, Hagar discovers the God who sees and provides a well where she least expects it. On Mount Moriah, Abraham and Isaac walk together toward a sacrifice, and the Lord provides a ram, foreshadowing the Lamb who would come later. In both stories, we see the same truth: whether in personal wilderness or eternal need, Jehovah Jireh is the God who provides. These chapters invite us to remember the mountains in our own lives where the Lord has seen us and supplied what we needed. He is the God who comes unto us, who rescues, and who provides, again and again.

This Mindset Debrief episode is a short-form reflection on personal accountability, discipline, and self-leadership for people navigating pressure, responsibility, and growth. In this episode, we focus on: Avoiding discomfort can disguise as being practical, but it holds you backIf you keep telling yourself you're not afraid of discomfort, but you keep saying “now's not the right time” or “I've got to be smart about this,” this episode puts a spotlight on what's really getting avoided. It's usually not the work. It's the feeling that comes with the work: awkwardness, being exposed, looking unprepared, being wrong. You'll hear how avoiding uncomfortable feelings can feel like control in the moment, but it's a trade. Short-term emotional relief gets purchased with limited long-term improvement, and the cost shows up later. A line from Amy Morin frames it simply: avoidance offers immediate relief, but it can create long-term consequences. The episode breaks down how avoidance can shrink your world over time. You say no more often. Hesitation gets longer. What starts as “stability” turns into a quieter kind of stuck. It also draws a clean line between recovery and retreat. One helps you move forward. The other just keeps you comfortable. There are concrete places this shows up at work: dodging difficult conversations, staying in roles where you already know the game, and avoiding real feedback. Not encouragement, not validation, but the kind of input that exposes blind spots and tests your confidence. When you stay slightly invisible, you stay static, and static is falling behind in slow motion. It also calls out the cover stories: “practical,” “rational,” “protecting my energy,” “I don't want the added responsibility.” If you feel defensive when someone questions a “practical” choice, that's a cue to ask: if discomfort wasn't part of this, would you still choose the same thing?Share this episode with someone who could benefit from the information.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.com

Hesitation speaks before you ever say a word, and people feel it even if they can't explain it. The energy you bring into a room already sets how much weight your words will carry. Hesitation isn't neutral, it silently tells others how certain or uncertain you are. In this episode, I break down how pauses, posture, and timing communicate more than language itself. When I remove hesitation, I strengthen my presence before any conversation even begins. Show Notes: [03:14]#1 Hesitation signals uncertainty before context even exists. [10:13]#2 Hesitation invites interruption and override.  [17:00]#3 Hesitation is an internal debate. [22:08]#4 Authority is established.

Today’s Bible Verse: “When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the Lord was merciful to them.” — Genesis 19:16 (NIV) Genesis 19:16 is a powerful picture of God’s mercy in motion. Even when Lot hesitated, unsure or slow to respond, the Lord’s compassion did not waver. God didn’t wait for perfect faith or flawless obedience—He stepped in and led them to safety. “Want to listen without ads?

Episode #1089 We're revisiting this conversation because it keeps coming up. A lot of men struggle with how to ask for what they want in their relationship without feeling weak or sounding needy. The truth is, it's not about the words you use. It's about how you show up when you say them. In this episode, Doug and Chris break down why hesitation kills trust, how your energy shifts the way your wife hears you, and what to do when you're afraid of her reaction. They walk through a simple way to speak clearly, ask directly, and stay grounded even if she pushes back. You'll also hear what most men get wrong when they try to "get it right," and how to stop putting pressure on her to fix what you haven't owned yet. If you've been biting your tongue, playing it safe, or hoping she'll read your mind, this is your reminder to lead the conversation. Want a real plan to start shifting your marriage?

In this episode, Heather explores why you might be hesitating to take action in your business—and it's probably not for the reason you think. Using a real coaching conversation as an example, Heather explains how fear of success, self-trust, and identity often create invisible resistance. If you've been avoiding tasks you know matter, this episode will help you understand what's really going on and how to move forward with clarity and confidence. Key takeaways from this episode: Hesitation is rarely about the task itself. Avoidance often points to fear of what comes after success, not fear of failure. You can't out-strategy your identity. If success doesn't match your current self-concept, your brain will unconsciously resist it. Fear of disappointing others creates self-sabotage. Worrying about delivery, performance, or making mistakes can stop action before it starts. Success intolerance is real—and common. When success feels unsafe to your nervous system, it will steer you back to your comfort zone. The worst-case scenario is usually just a feeling. If you trust yourself to manage embarrassment, disappointment, or discomfort, you unlock action. Self-trust expands capacity. Taking action builds evidence that you can figure things out, which becomes your new identity.  This episode came directly from a one-on-one coaching call with a photographer who had already done the work—her email was written, her list was started—but she couldn't bring herself to hit send.

Summary  In this episode, Wade breaks down the numbers behind America's growing retirement crisis and why so many families struggle to build meaningful retirement accounts. Instead of simply blaming market volatility or lack of discipline, he explores deeper causes—from generational inheritance expectations to the hesitation younger savers have about locking money away for 30+ years in traditional tax-qualified plans. Wade also challenges the conventional definition of "retirement," arguing that true financial freedom comes from passive income, control, and liquidity—not hitting a magic age. He outlines alternative strategies for building long-term certainty, including using properly structured whole life insurance as a savings environment, a legacy transfer tool, and a way to maintain financial privacy and control. If you're rethinking what retirement should actually look like, this episode offers a refreshing framework and a more strategic path forward.   Episode Highlights 00:00:25 - Retirement crisis: Americans' shocking savings. 00:01:09 - Passive income vs. traditional retirement. 00:02:07 - Running towards fulfillment, not away from work. 00:03:35 - Strategic planning for inheritance and wealth transfer. 00:05:05 - Conversation on financial legacy with life insurance. 00:06:11 - Hesitation of younger generations to lock money away. 00:08:04 - Alternatives to traditional retirement savings vehicles. 00:09:05 - Scary statistics on Americans' retirement savings. 00:10:08 - Saving 10-30%: Importance and alternatives. 00:11:14 - Whole life insurance as a strategic financial tool.   Episode Resources sagewealthstrategy.com https://theinsboss.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqFjV_yhiO4   Keywords Wade Borth podcast   financial freedom   American retirement crisis   passive income   financial abundance   life insurance   inheritance planning   tax-free benefits   retirement vehicles   retirement savings   savings vehicles   investment plans   401k   alternative investments   whole life insurance   financial planning strategies   retirement benchmarks   income growth   financial independence   risk tolerance   certainty in investments   strategic saving

Citizens cannot take the law into their own hands or obstruct federal officers.BREAKING: POV footage from the ICE agent who was RAMMED by anti-ICE activist Renee Good in Minneapolis has been released. He was clearly not just hit, but hit HARD. 100% JUSTIFIED use of force. Walz and the Mayor are LIARS.In 2018, Officer Amy Caprio confronted a suspect in a stolen Jeep who appeared to comply, then suddenly accelerated straight toward her. She fired one shot, the driver ducked and continued forward, fatally crushing her before fleeing.  THIS is why officers act fast. Hesitation can be fatal.This is what happens when you don't shoot the driver.  The woman who ran down this cop got 2 years in prison. Her car was at a dead stop before accelerating just a few feet and hit the officer at nearly the exact angle that Renee Nicole Good attempted to strike the Ice officer in Minneapolis. This could have easily caused a broken neck or death.BREAKING - Video showing liberals being trained to fight with federal agents and ICE at a North Carolina church is resurfacing, with viewers demanding a crack down on organizations funding and encouraging radicalization. It's INSANE it's been allowed to get this far.Renee Nicole Good's 6-year-old son attends ‘social justice' school that teaches about George Floyd, warned staffers to report ICEDilworth United Methodist Church holds classes where they teach the elderly how to film ICE agents detainments and how to properly film and call attention to them.We merged two videos - from (1) the officer's phone & (2) that showing the driver's side. You can clearly hear the officer exclaim “WOAH” as he gets hit, right BEFORE he fires. He is in distress & obviously surprised she's accelerating. The wife instigates it, commanding, “Drive”

Episode 381 reframes Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich for sales professionals, reviewing Chapters 1–3 to show how thought, desire, and faith create predictable sales results. Andrea Samadi connects these timeless principles to practical steps—how to set burning goals, build unwavering belief through repetition, and transfer certainty to buyers. Listeners will get actionable frameworks (a five-step belief plan and the six steps to impress desire) and a clear roadmap for aligning mindset with sales execution, plus a preview of the next episode continuing the series. Welcome back to our final series of SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Connecting Back to Our 6-Part Think and Grow Rich Series (2022) For today's EP 381, we are connecting back to our 6-PART Series from 2022[i], where we covered the well-known book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, to make 2022 our best year ever. Today we will cover: ✔ Chapter 1: The Power of Thought: A 5 STEP Plan to Improve Sales (Outer World) by Improving Your Thoughts (Inner World) ✔ Chapter 2: Desire With a 6 STEP Plan to Achieve ANY Goal ✔ Chapter 3: Faith With 3 Ways to Build Unwavering Faith That Will Change Your Life Back in 2022, we didn't just read Think and Grow Rich—we lived inside it as we launched 2022. Over a 6-part podcast series that began the beginning of January 2022, we walked through this book chapter by chapter, not as theory, but as a personal operating system for growth, performance, and results. This series will always be special for me, as I had heard that my mentor, who inspired me to study this book, Bob Proctor, became ill while I was writing the last episode in the series PART 6. He passed away before it was released, and I'll always remember this episode series, connected to the many people, globally, that he inspired through his work. At the time, the focus of our 6 PART Series was broad. We covered: Personal development Mindset mastery Vision, purpose, and belief We covered the BASICS of this book that Bob Proctor studied for his entire lifetime (over 50 years) that can be applied to whatever it is that you want to create with your life. Today, we are going to look at this timeless piece of knowledge, through a new lens. What we're covering today—Think and Grow Rich for Sales—is not new material. It's the application of this series, towards a specific discipline. You could apply this book to any discipline, but this one, I have wanted to cover for a very long time. How the 6-Part Series Maps DIRECTLY to Sales Mastery Here's the reframe that matters: Every principle we covered in 2022 becomes a sales advantage when applied correctly. In order for me to have gained this understanding, I have to give credit, where credit is due here. I would not have been able to cover our 2022 series without following Paul Martinelli's yearly reviews[ii] of this timeless Think and Grow Rich book that I started to follow in 2019, and continued every year until 2025 when he covered popular Science of Getting Rich book. It was through Paul's explanations, and line by line interpretations, that I finally began to not only READ this book, (from start to finish) but started to INTEGRATE the concepts into my life. I highly encourage following his work, as he continues to host many free webinars, where he gives away knowledge, with no pressure at all to purchase anything from him. I know why he does these webinars. It's not only to help others, but something magical happens when you give back to others, without expecting anything in return. When we covered this 6 PART series, back in 2022, TEACHING these concepts, it took me to another level of understanding, where I realized that this book is not meant to be read just once, but read over and over again, every year, as we all work on whatever it is we are working on, or want to master. This is a living, breathing body of knowledge and is there for all of us, year after year, as we refine our own inner mastery, and move step by step closer to our goals. Albert Einstein explained this concept well when he said that “if you can't explain it to a six-year-old you don't understand it yourself” and this is because teaching something will clearly show you where you have gaps in your own understanding. I'll never forget when I got to PART 6 of the book review, I noticed my book had no notes after around chapter 13. I began studying this book in my late 20s, and was very interested in the subconscious mind (chapter 12) but not at all interested in the brain (chapter 13) at this time, so I actually stopped reading the book here. I knew I never did finished reading this book (until I had to teach it) which explains a lot when it comes to the commitment to complete something. In order to teach something, we must first of all understand it ourselves. But when we LIVE it, and EMBODY what we are teaching (like Paul Martinelli has done) and what I am striving to do, it takes the words in each chapter to greater heights. So with gratitude to Paul Martinelli, who has created a valuable Sales Training Program, based on this timeless book, here is my attempt at covering Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich book, for the Sales Professional, and I couldn't have produced this episode, without Paul's teachings. Let's now look at the first 10 important chapters from Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, through the lens of making our 2026 our Best Year ever, as well as to connect each principal for the salesperson. And you don't need to be in sales for these principles to work for us. Think and Grow Rich for Sales How Inner Mastery Becomes Sales Results Inspired by Think and Grow Rich Through a modern neuroscience + sales lens Chapter I: The Power of Thought Applied to Sales Why Sales Outcomes Begin in the Mind Core Idea: Sales performance is a reflection of expectation and belief first, not effort alone. What you think and believe about your ability, your product, and your outcome directly determines how you show up—and how others respond to you. Sales Applications Your internal dialogue sets your sales ceiling “Hoping” for results programs hesitation and inconsistency Expectation + emotion = outcome Listener Takeaway You don't get the sale you want. You get the sale you expect—the one you truly believe you can achieve. You get the sale you expect. The one you actually believe you can achieve. REVIEW OF CHAPTER I — “The Power of Thought” Edwin C. Barnes: The Man Who Thought Himself into Partnership with Thomas Edison In Chapter I of Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill introduces us to Edwin C. Barnes, a man who achieved something extraordinary—not through money, connections, or credentials—but through the power of his thought. Barnes held a single, unwavering vision: to work with Thomas Edison—not for him, but with him. This was an audacious goal. Barnes did not know Edison personally. He lacked money, influence, and even the funds to comfortably pay for the train fare to New Jersey. Yet none of these obstacles altered his decision. Hill explains that Barnes did not wish for this partnership. He decided it would happen. When Edison later recalled their first meeting, he described Barnes standing before him looking like an ordinary tramp—but said there was something unmistakable in the expression of his face: “There was something in the expression of his face which conveyed the impression that he was determined to get what he had come after.” (Chapter I, p. 2, TAGR) Edison did not see wealth, polish, or preparation. He saw initiative, faith, and the will to win—and that was enough. Barnes brought no money to the table. No résumé. No formal value proposition. But he carried something far more powerful: a clear vision, unwavering belief, and a level of certainty that Edison could feel. Hill later writes that Barnes' “bulldog determination” and persistence with a single desire was destined to mow down all opposition and bring him the opportunity he sought. Barnes did not retreat when months passed and nothing happened. He did not say, “What's the use?” He did not downgrade his goal to something more “reasonable.” He held the vision until reality caught up with it. Why This Matters for Sales To understand why Edison trusted Barnes, we must understand something critical: Thought carries frequency. Belief has energy. Certainty is felt long before it is spoken. Edison did not evaluate Barnes based on where he was. He responded to where Barnes knew he was going. Barnes was already operating on the frequency of partnership—not employment. And Edison recognized it. “When one is truly ready for a thing, it puts in its appearance.” (Chapter I, p. 3, TAGR) Barnes was ready. Putting Chapter I into Action for Sales Look at the image in the show notes illustrating levels of frequency of thought—where the physical, intellectual, and spiritual worlds intersect like the colors of a rainbow. Think of each level as a different radio station. To hear the station you want, you must tune your mind to that frequency. If you receive your 2026 sales goal and your immediate thought is: “There's no way I can do this,” then that is the frequency you are broadcasting. You are not tuned to the level where that goal exists. You cannot reach a destination using the same level of thinking that created your current results. This is why Marshall Goldsmith's principle holds true: What got you here won't get you there.[iii] The Key to Chapter I: Unwavering Belief Napoleon Hill makes this unmistakably clear: “When a person really desires a thing so deeply that they are willing to stake their entire future on a single turn of the wheel to get it, they are sure to win.” (Chapter I, p. 2, TAGR) Barnes staked his future on belief. Sales excellence requires the same commitment. A 5-Step Sales Application Framework to Apply Chapter 1 STEP 1 When your sales goal is set, ask yourself honestly: Do I believe I can achieve this? STEP 2 If belief is present, create a clear, actionable plan—and commit to following it consistently. STEP 3 If belief is not present, seek out someone who has already achieved the result. Borrow their certainty. Follow their guidance exactly. STEP 4 Once belief is established, take daily action. There is no wishing—only disciplined effort backed by belief. STEP 5 Monitor not just results, but your level of belief. When belief wavers, behavior follows suit. When behavior wavers, results disappear. Final Thought for Chapter 1 Edwin C. Barnes did not succeed because he was lucky. He succeeded because he thought differently—and held that thought long enough for reality to align with it. He jumped to an entirely new frequency with this belief. Sales mastery begins the same way. Not with tactics. Not with scripts. But with the Power of Thought Backed by Belief. Chapter II: Desire From Wanting Sales to Demanding Results Core Idea: Desire must be emotionally charged and specific. Sales Application: Turning vague quotas into emotional targets Why clarity eliminates hesitation Selling with intention vs need Listener Takeaway: Vague goals create vague results.   REVIEW OF CHAPTER II: DESIRE — The Starting Point of All Achievement Chapter II of Think and Grow Rich brings us to the engine behind every meaningful result: Desire. Napoleon Hill makes this unmistakably clear: “All achievement begins with an idea.” But not every idea becomes reality. Only ideas fueled by burning desire become reality. Hill describes Edwin C. Barnes' desire as something very specific: “It was not a hope. It was not a wish. It was a pulsating desire which transcended everything else. It was definite.” (Chapter II, p. 19, TAGR) Barnes did not hope to work with Thomas Edison. He did not wish it might happen someday. He expected it. At the time, there was no evidence this partnership would ever exist. Barnes and Edison were not in conversation. There were no guarantees. No proof. No visible path. And yet Barnes committed to the idea anyway. That's the nature of true desire: It moves before evidence appears. Going from where you are now to where you want to go is always a process—and at the beginning of that process, desire often feels irrational, private, even uncomfortable to say out loud. That doesn't make it wrong. It makes it powerful. Why This Matters for Sales In sales, desire drives behavior. You don't need to know how you'll hit your goal at the beginning. You only need to know what you want and why you want it. The “how” always reveals itself after this commitment. This is something my mentor Bob Proctor emphasized constantly. When I moved from Canada to the United States in 2001, I had no clear roadmap. I didn't know exactly how it would work. But I had clarity of desire—and that was enough to begin. The way was shown… Along with obstacles. Many of them. That's always how it works. Obstacles are not signs you're off track. They are part of the process. Desire and Sales Frequency What does DESIRE have to do with SALES SUCCESS? Here's the key sales translation: Hesitation does not exist at the same frequency as certainty. It's this certainty (or burning desire) that we will need. When desire is weak: You hesitate You soften your language You sell with need instead of intention When desire is strong: Clarity replaces doubt Energy becomes steady Certainty becomes transferable to those you are speaking to Ask yourself honestly: Do I have the same burning desire in my sales goals that Edison saw in Barnes' eyes? Because others can feel it—just as easily as they can feel when it's missing. Desire radiates. Hesitation leaks. And buyers will respond accordingly. Burning the Ships Hill offers one of the most powerful principles in the book in this chapter on Desire: “Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn their ships and cut all sources of retreat.”(Chapter II, p. 21, TAGR) Barnes did this when he traveled to New Jersey to meet Edison. I did this when I left Toronto for the United States in 2001. There was no “going back if it didn't work.” Burning the ships forces alignment. And this connects directly to a later chapter: Decision. The Latin root of the word decision means “to cut.” When you decide, you cut off retreat. You look at your sales goal and see no acceptable outcome other than its achievement. That level of commitment changes how you show up every single day. The Six Steps to Achieve Any Goal (Chapter II) Next in this Chapter, Napoleon Hill outlines six steps designed to impress desire directly into the subconscious mind. Though written about money, (in the book) these steps apply to any goal, including sales. These are the steps I personally keep visible—and that leaders like American Businessman Grant Cardone practice daily. The Six Steps Write a clear description of what you want. You must know exactly where you're going. What is your sales goal? Decide what you're willing to give in return. There is no such thing as something for nothing. You will give up something of lower value to gain something greater. (I never understood this until I watched others with their achievements. Sometimes it's giving up time, or watching Netflix, or something like that. You give up something of a lower nature, to receive what it is that you want). Set a definite date. Desire without a timeline remains a wish. Create a clear action plan. Begin immediately—ready or not. Write the plan out in detail. Clarity strengthens commitment. Read it twice a day. As you read, see, feel, and believe yourself already in possession of the goal. (Chapter II, p. 23, TAGR) This sounds simple—but not easy. Most people won't do it consistently. That's why most people won't get these extraordinary results. Listener Takeaway Vague goals create vague results. Sales success begins the moment desire becomes: clear emotionally charged and non-negotiable Final Thought — Chapter II: Desire Desire is not motivation. It is not excitement. It is not ambition. Desire is commitment before evidence appears. When your desire is strong enough: hesitation disappears clarity sharpens certainty becomes visible And when certainty is visible, others respond to it. Sales does not reward the most talented. It rewards the most committed. Everything that follows in Think and Grow Rich rests on this foundation. If desire is weak, nothing else works. If desire is strong, the rest becomes possible. Chapter III: Faith Certainty Is the Real Close Core Idea: Faith is belief made visible through certainty. Sales Application: Why buyers borrow certainty from the salesperson Confidence vs arrogance How belief softens objections Listener Takeaway: Buyers don't borrow certainty from products. They borrow it from you.   REVIEW OF CHAPTER III: FAITH How Do We Develop Faith? Napoleon Hill defines faith clearly and practically: “Faith is a state of mind which may be induced, or created, by affirmations or repeated instructions, through the principle of autosuggestion.” (Chapter III, p. 46, TAGR) Faith is not something you wait for. It is something you train. We develop faith by following the six steps outlined in Chapter 2 of Think and Grow Rich: writing our goals and reading them aloud every day—twice a day—until the idea moves from the conscious mind into the non-conscious mind through autosuggestion. This is a process. If you have never read your goals out loud before, it may feel uncomfortable at first. When I started, I remember closing my office window, worried my neighbors might think I was crazy. In the beginning, the words can feel awkward and forced. But with repetition, something changes. Your words begin to flow more easily. Your tone becomes confident. And eventually, what once felt unnatural starts to feel true. Our goals begin living with and through us. Hill instructs us to read our goals: “As if you were already in possession of them.” (Chapter III, p. 48, TAGR) A simple way to do this is to begin with the statement: “I am so happy and grateful now that…” and then state your goal clearly—whether it's a sales target or any other objective you are working toward.   Faith, Autosuggestion, and Something Bigger This is often the point where people bring their own beliefs into the process. If you believe—as I do—that there is something greater than yourself at work in the world, you will feel it here. Hill called it Infinite Intelligence. Others may call it God, Spirit, or Universal Intelligence. Hill wrote: “Faith is the element, the ‘chemical' which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.” (Chapter III, p. 49, TAGR) Regardless of what you call it, the experience is the same: faith grows when belief is repeatedly impressed upon the mind. And this is critical: We must have faith in our dreams, not in our doubts.   Faith Applied to Sales In sales, faith shows up as certainty. Buyers do not buy certainty from products. They borrow it from the salesperson. This is where many people get confused. Faith is not arrogance. Arrogance is loud and brittle. Faith is calm, grounded, and steady. When you believe in: yourself the value you bring and the outcome you're guiding someone toward your certainty becomes transferable. And when certainty is present, objections soften. Not because you argue them away—but because belief replaces resistance. How Faith Becomes Unwavering To build unwavering faith, Hill's principles point us to three realities: You must move through the Terror Barrier of Fear. Faith grows when your conscious and non-conscious minds begin to align. Fear appears first—but it does not get the final word. Faith strengthens through repetition. Writing and repeating your goals daily through autosuggestion gradually reshapes belief. Faith grows fastest when focused on one clear idea. Pick one goal. Take action toward it. Each step builds self-confidence, self-awareness, and self-esteem. Over time, belief takes hold. One day, you'll look back at the early version of yourself—the one who hesitated, doubted, or felt unsure—and you'll realize how far you've come. I talk about this idea often. It's like adding red food color drops into a cup of water. In the beginning, it's hard to see any change in the color of the water. But over time, with persistent action, the glass of water eventually changes color. And you'll look back and be grateful you moved forward past fear. Listener Takeaway Buyers don't borrow certainty from products. They borrow it from you. Final Thought — Chapter III: Faith Faith is not pretending. It is not positive thinking. And it is not blind optimism. Faith is certainty trained through repetition. When belief becomes strong enough, it changes how you speak, how you act, and how others respond to you. Sales closed do not happen at the end of the conversation. They happen the moment certainty is felt. And certainty begins inside you. REVIEW OF CHAPTERS I–III The Foundation of Sales Mastery To review and conclude this special review of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, through the lens of a salesperson, we covered the first three chapters of Think and Grow Rich that form a complete inner foundation. Together, they explain why sales success begins long before tactics, scripts, or strategies ever matter. Before there is action, there is belief. Before belief, there is desire. And before desire, there is thought. Napoleon Hill does not begin this book with techniques. He begins with identity and inner alignment. For sales professionals, these chapters explain why results are not random—and why performance is always an inside-out process. Chapter I — The Power of Thought Why Sales Outcomes Begin in the Mind Chapter I introduces the central premise: Thought is creative. Through the story of Edwin C. Barnes, Hill shows us that success begins when a person decides what they want and holds that thought with unwavering persistence—long before evidence appears. Barnes did not hope to work with Thomas Edison. He decided it would happen. Despite having no money, no relationship, and no visible path, Barnes carried himself with such certainty that Edison felt it immediately. Edison did not respond to Barnes' circumstances—he responded to Barnes' state of mind. Sales Application: Sales performance reflects what you expect, not what you wish for. Your internal dialogue: sets your confidence level shapes your tone determines whether you lead or hesitate You don't get the sale you want. You get the sale you expect—the one you truly believe is possible. Chapter II — Desire From Wanting Sales to Demanding Results If thought sets direction, desire supplies the fuel. In Chapter II, Hill makes a critical distinction: Desire is not hope. It is not wishing. It is not motivation. True desire is emotionally charged, specific, and definite. Barnes' desire to work with Edison was not casual or negotiable. It was what Hill called a burning desire—so strong that Barnes was willing to stake his future on it. Sales Application: Desire determines behavior. When desire is vague: goals feel optional hesitation increases selling comes from need When desire is clear and emotionally anchored: confidence sharpens clarity replaces doubt certainty becomes visible Vague goals create vague results. Sales success accelerates the moment desire becomes non-negotiable. Chapter III — Faith Certainty Is the Real Close Chapter III explains how desire becomes believable: through faith. Hill defines faith not as blind belief, but as a trainable state of mind, developed through repetition and autosuggestion. Faith is belief made visible through certainty. By writing goals clearly and reading them aloud daily—as if already achieved—belief moves from the conscious mind into the non-conscious mind. Over time, certainty replaces doubt. Sales Application: Buyers do not borrow certainty from products. They borrow it from the salesperson. Faith shows up in sales as: calm confidence (not arrogance) steady tone authority without pressure When faith is present, objections soften—not because they're argued away, but because certainty dissolves resistance. How Chapters I–III Work Together These chapters are not separate ideas. They form a sequence: Thought sets direction Desire creates commitment Faith produces certainty Without thought, there is no aim. Without desire, there is no momentum. Without faith, there is no follow-through. Sales mastery begins here—not with what you say, but with who you are being when you say it. Final Integrated Insight (Chapters I–III) Sales does not reward effort alone. It rewards clarity, commitment, and certainty. When: your thoughts are aligned your desire is definite and your faith is trained your results begin to change—often before your strategy does. Because at the highest level, sales is not a transaction. It is the transference of emotion. And the primary emotion is certainty. With gratitude to close out our review of Chapters 1-3 of Think and Grow Rich dedicated to the salesperson, we bring our credit to Paul Martinelli, who has helped me to understand not only the entire book, for our first review, but to now take this book, and apply it for success in the sales industry. I hope you have enjoyed this angle of this timeless book, and we will see you in a few days for PART 2 of this review, where we will cover the next 3 chapters of Think and Grow Rich.

In this conversation, Brianna and Phoebe discuss the challenges of asking for help in the veterinary field, emphasizing the importance of creating a culture of support and psychological safety. They explore the reasons behind the hesitation to seek assistance, such as fear of burdening others and past negative experiences. The discussion includes practical strategies for encouraging help-seeking behavior, recognizing signs of overwhelm, and the role of leadership in fostering a supportive environment. The conversation concludes with a focus on the benefits of collaboration and the need to normalize asking for help to combat burnout and improve patient care. Takeaways Asking for help is essential for mental health. Hesitation to ask for help often leads to burnout. Creating a culture of support is crucial in veterinary practices. Leaders should model help-seeking behavior. Recognizing signs of overwhelm can prevent burnout. Normalizing asking for help improves team dynamics. Collaboration enhances patient care and team morale. Past experiences can hinder help-seeking behavior. Practical strategies can encourage team members to ask for help. Leadership plays a vital role in fostering a supportive environment. Follow for more:  FB: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556480229406&mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠  IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/choosepeoplelovepets?igsh=MTVzZjc4ZHE4MWd2NQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr⁠  LI: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/choose-people-love-pets/⁠  

Not deciding is still a decision, and it's usually the most expensive one. In this Hard Reset episode, Kelly Siegel breaks down how indecision quietly destroys momentum, confidence, and opportunity. While you're waiting for clarity, comfort, or the “perfect time,” someone else is already taking the shot you were afraid to take. Indecision bleeds time. It drains energy. And it keeps you stuck in limbo. Kelly explains why progress beats perfection every time. why fear disguises itself as “being careful,” and how even the wrong decision will teach you more than standing still ever will. If you've been stuck on the fence in business, relationships, money, or life, this episode is your wake-up call. Because standing still isn't safe… it's costly. Key Takeaways

In this episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training MoChihChu Podcast, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ unpack one of the most overlooked truths of modern chiropractic, and life: we've become too comfortable. Through stories of fearless kids, African safaris, and the ancient wisdom of the Bushmen, the Schofields explore what happens when comfort dulls our hunger and weakens our meaning. From crocodile-filled rivers to thorn-bush fences, Dr. Fred paints vivid lessons about courage, mentorship, and the necessity of discomfort to create depth and purpose in practice. The conversation flows from the toughness of the Himba tribes to the mental discipline required to run a thriving chiropractic office. Dr. Fred reminds us that every strong practice, like every thorn bush, must have boundaries that protect its energy, and every chiropractor must rediscover their own why. Dr. FJ breaks it down practically: health, energy, and consistent action are the foundation of resilience. Without vitality, you can't sustain the intensity needed to build something great. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone coasting through life or practice. Comfort might feel good, but it never grows you. "When we have no adversity, we invent it. So train your mind and body with hard things, then real challenges feel small." – Dr. FJ Schofield Weekly Action Steps: Do One Hard Thing: Choose a daily challenge—cold shower, morning run, tough conversation—and face it head-on. Find Your Thorn Bush: Identify what boundaries protect your purpose. Where are you letting distractions or predators in? Reconnect with Meaning: Write down why you started. Post it where you can see it every day. Build Energy to Build Impact: Move your body, nourish yourself, and show up to your practice with vitality. Because hunger starts the journey—but meaning keeps you charging. Listen, share, and rise above comfort.  Keep Charging Rhinos! MoChihChu!

PREVIEW: Argentina's Economic Reforms and Hesitation of Foreign Investors Guest: Mary Anastasia Grady Mary Anastasia Grady discusses Argentina, noting that despite successes including deregulation, tax cuts, and reduction of government size, foreign investment is not materializing. Investors remain on the sidelines due to concerns that the peso is overvalued and capital controls exist, creating uncertainty about when they can retrieve their money. This suggests President Javier Milei is holding back from implementing necessary additional economic reforms to attract international capital. 1930 ARGENTINA VS USA

Here's 2 hard truths: working yourself into the ground isn't proof you've “made it.”Hesitating on the things that matter isn't protecting you—it's writing "I don't trust myself" in your fields. Your manifestation field reflects exactly what you're sending out—hesitation included.In this episode, I break down:Why overdoing actually holds you back from the wealth, success, and freedom you're chasing.Why hesitation is secretly sabotaging your momentum (even if it feels safe).How to find the sweet spot where you're productive, soul-aligned, and not running on burnout energy.I share exactly how I went from hyperactive "I'm working a lot but I love the work!!!" to working smarter, living more, and actually enjoying the success I built—without sacrificing my energy, my time, or my joy. This isn't theory. This is what actually works when you're ready to get out of the hamster wheel. (Real-life strategies included).RESOURCES:SHE'S A GENIUS HYPNOSISKatelin's IGIT GIRL PREP

In this episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training MoChihChu Podcast, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ dive deep into what separates those who talk about success from those who live it. From the story of a young man in 1926 who traveled halfway across the world to become a chiropractor, to BJ Palmer's unmatched foresight and discipline, the Schofields remind us that greatness is never accidental. It's the result of repetition, consistency, and action.....done today, not tomorrow. Dr. Fred shares the forgotten truth that "the visual component is 33% of the adjustment," and how what surrounds you, your environment, your mindset, your words, directly impacts your results. Meanwhile, Dr. FJ breaks down the most common trap in chiropractic and in life: waiting for the "perfect moment." "Don't worry about doing it every day. Just do it today." – Dr. FJ Schofield The conversation expands beyond chiropractic into the universal law of action, how space, time, and repetition shape every result in your health, your practice, and your life. From bootcamp discipline to the art of showing up, the Schofields challenge every listener to stop thinking and start doing. Weekly Action Steps: Move Today: Lace up your shoes and go for a 10-minute walk. Don't plan it—just do it. Anchor Your Mind: Add one quote or visual reminder in your adjusting room that inspires focus and intention. Take Imperfect Action: Pick one thing you've been putting off in your practice—training your team, raising your fees, calling that patient—and do it now. Because success doesn't wait for motivation. It responds to motion. Listen, share, and start your momentum today.  Keep Charging Rhinos! MoChihChu! Moving Forward without Hesitation!   Join Dr. Fred & Dr. FJ at our next seminar!

      8. The Triumph, the Skepticism, and the Legacy of the Sisterhood Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Even with high-level attention on the bin Laden compound, the targeters faced continued doubt and hesitation from senior operational leadership, a symptom of the CIA's humiliation over 9/11 and the bad intelligence regarding WMDs in the Iraq War. Nevertheless, the "ground-level targeters" were "very close to 100% confident" in their precision, using detailed aerial imagery analysis, including counting the laundry on the line, to determine the number of people and families inside the compound. When the SEALs raided the compound, they were astonished by the precision of the targeters' intelligence. In retirement, key figures like Barbara Sude and Heidi August continued their lives. The women later gathered at a writers' retreat for a cathartic moment, drinking wine and reading aloud the memoirs of the men they had worked for, often "shouting with frustration." The book also notes that the character of Maya (from Zero Dark Thirty) was based on a single woman who left the agency unpromoted.

The Fearless Flow solves this by providing the internal regulatory system needed to sustain that external risk. It allows you to feel the fear but stay anchored in your body, rather than being pulled into self-protection. By grounding yourself in the combined calm of the Breath, Mudra, and Chakra Focus, you build the deep internal safety required to drop the external armor of perfectionism and truly "dare greatly."

Why do you feel fear in your gut? Because your Enteric Nervous System (ENS)—often called your 'second brain'—lives there. Today, we ignite the Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura), the energy center of personal power. By focusing our attention and visualization on this core area, we calm the physical seat of anxiety (the 'butterflies in the stomach'), transforming that worried energy into decisive action and unstoppable willpower.

Neuroscience suggests that the brain cannot clearly distinguish between a vividly imagined event and a real-life experience. This means visualization isn't just daydreaming; it's powerful, practical mental rehearsal. Today, we leverage this research to consciously program a fearless mindset. We will create a detailed, sensory-rich 'Future Self'—a version of you who acts with unwavering courage—and step into that identity, creating new neural pathways that reinforce boldness. This is the foundation of becoming fearless. WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S SERIES: Becoming Fearless: Breaking the Habit of Hesitation Welcome to this week's new series! It's time to stop just managing fear and start actively building unstoppable confidence that lasts. This week, we're providing you with a complete, actionable toolkit—from ancient breathwork and hand mudras to modern neuroscience techniques—to fundamentally rewire your mind for courage. Join us for this transformative journey, and discover the powerful, decisive person you are meant to be.

People wait for others to lead, while life passes them by. Watching is not moving. We have more info but less leadership. The Tina Peters case is starting to take on a new light. It looks intentional. She's a county clerk that refused to look the other way. Apathy is unnerving. Groupies act like activists. It's engineered by social media. Hesitation is like life being stolen. Controlling the narrative is paramount. People don't like the light. Controllers are appalled and sick due to your independence. Jesus tried to change the way people thought. Doing things in life is a conscious decision. The future will definitely challenge us. Too many stood back when tools are available. The real problem is they make zero money on this. Another harassment tale. Ask God for a mountain, He will give you a shovel. Tomorrow belongs to those who act today. Smarter than doctors means healthy. Protecting the future from Covid evil. Fluoride truth is bubbling up. Quiet roll backs. MSM has big ties to pharma. Phoebe's court case will be massive. NATO credibility in question again. Ankara is shaking right now. Big business and bigger headlines. Some archipelago history. Giants explain how. Remember that history is written hy the victors and connecting the dots backwards shows a bigger picture.
