Public speaking. A favorite assignment for many people. Right?!?How about presenting an unscripted, unrehearsed 18 minute keynote speech without notes? On a topic you just decided upon last night? In front of your peers, being videotaped and critiqued in real time? Welcome to season 2. Episode 61 of the newly renamed For Love of Team podcast. That was me a few months ago at my friend Kent Julian’s Speak it Forward bootcamp. I began the keynote with a story about my dream business. A service born out of necessity. Reaching multi-million dollar status. Employing team members across 10 different states. Enjoying a reputation for excellent customer service. Growing market share. Paradise, right? There was a dark side. One I share during this keynote. Yet delivering this speech gave me another unexpected benefit. An insight about other businesses which ultimately fail to meet their potential. So, let’s take you to that keynote, a few months ago outside of Atlanta. The precise moment when For Love of Team was born. ***Links from the ShowSubscribe to the podcast with your favorite podcast player Apple PodcastsSpotifyStitcherGoogle PodcastsOr your favorite player***For Love of Team Foundational RetreatsAre you hitting the wall of complexity in your business?

Everyone goes all-in when it comes to health and wellness goals. But what happens when you fall off the wagon? Know it's okay to have a moment of weakness. Just don't stay there. You are normal when you don't get things right the first time, second time, third time, the thousandth time. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT But just because you're normal doesn't make you exempt from making the right decisions. Most of what we want to accomplish rests within our own capabilities. Not ONE program or ONE food or ONE day is going to make or break you. It's all about showing up and building consistency. This is a brand new season; school starting, fall around the corner. You have almost 4 months to impact this year. Why wait until the New Year? For most, it's because we like to work together. And if you are working with others and something happens, it won't be ALL your fault. You have someone else to take the fall with. You get to share the blame. But how is procrastination serving your health? Let me ask you this. If you went to your doctor for a physical today, what would he/she say? You know you don't have to go to the doctor. For the most part, you know if you are doing well. You might need a basic workup like certain blood tests, blood pressure, etc. But overall, you know where you stand. Beside procrastination, what else is holding you back? It's the Fall! No the fall! You know, when you fall down because you made the wrong decision or choice. Mistakes and the lack of stick-to-it-ness (what my friend Kent Julian says). Our belief waivers. Our trust in ourselves waiver. Temptation shows up, and we are all in! Dagnabit!! How is this fair? It's okay to have a moment of weakness, just don't stay there. It's all about movin' on up! The K.I.S.S. ~ Movin' on up! Focusing on what you can't do will keep you on the ground level. There will always be times where you fall down, fail, and make mistakes. Moments of weakness make you human. However, with moments of weakness comes moments of strength. But you gotta keep movin' on up! From your point of weakness, choose your next moment of strength. Celebrate the next "yes to you" action. This shows follow-through. Keep your eye on the next step. Don't rush to the end of the goal. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo It's not about rushing to get to the goal to check it off. Reaching your goal is part of your journey. Whether moments of weakness or moments of strength, they all are part of your story. Movin' on up is about staying the course even when you fall off.

Yet, this hasn't always been the case. Kent started out as an at-risk child with severe learning challenges and SAT scores so low that he had to take Development Studies just to get into college—on probation. From these humble beginnings, Kent went on to become the Executive Director of a national youth association in order to help teenagers just like him. Then, after 20 years in non-profit work, he did something crazy... he launched two successful businesses. Along the way, Kent realized that the successes he experienced were never “his successes.” Each accomplishment came about because of the teams he was privileged to lead. Whether working with millennial students, coaching championship swim teams, or leading his own businesses, success was the result of committed, engaged teams. Now, with his expertise in leadership and employee engagement, he is privileged to speak, write, and consult leaders and teams all over the country on what it takes to create what he calls “DREAM-to-DO” culture. You can find his work online in places like Entrepreneur.com, Success.com, GoodMenProject.com and more. To find out more, visit KentJulian.com.

A side hustle is any kind of work you do in addition to your full-time job. It's more than a hobby because a hobby is primarily done for enjoyment. The purpose of a side hustle, in large part, is to create an additional stream of revenue. There are two primary types of side hustles: Permanent Side Hustle: Many people who start a side hustle are perfectly content with keeping it a side hustle. These folks are not looking to move on from their full-time employment. Instead, they see their side hustle as a way to make extra money, do something they are passionate about, learn a new skill, or all of the above. More than a Side Hustle: Other people start a side hustle for a reason beyond the ones listed above. These individuals want to replace their current employment with their side hustle. Clearly both speaking and coaching can be excellent side hustles, whether you want to continue it as a side hustle or eventually have it replace your current job. However, Kent Julian believes speaking is the better side hustle opportunity because of the marketing advantages it provides. In this episode, Kent shares 5 reasons why speaking is a better side hustle than coaching. An Inside Look at This Episode: First Episode in a 3-Part Series on Starting a Side Hustle in Speaking 1) Episode 4: Why Speaking is a Better Side Hustle than Coaching 2) Episode 5: 5 More Reasons to Love Speaking as a Side Hustle 3) Episode 6: Steps You Can Take to Makes Speaking a Side Hustle that Works for You 5 Reasons Speaking is a Better Side Hustle than Coaching 1) Speaking requires less complicated marketing What you do NOT have to do to market your speaking services vs. what you HAVE to do to market your coaching services 2) Speaking requires B2B marketing instead of B2C marketing Speaking is Business-to-Business marketing Coaching is Business-to-Consumer marketing 3) Speaking allows you to market to decision-makers with money already budgeted for your speaking services Speaking deals with decision-makers who have already budget money for speaking Coaching deals with decision-makers who are still trying to decide if they want to budget money for coaching 4) Speaking requires 1 sale instead of 2 sales Speaking deals with decision-makers who have already budget money for speaking, so you only have to sell them on you as the speaker they should hire Coaching deals with decision-makers who are still trying to decide if they want to budget money for coaching, so you must first sell them on the idea of coaching and then on you as the coach they should hire 5) Speaking allows you to market One-to-Many instead of just One-to-One When you speak, you can market your services to your entire audience When you coach, you only have one audience member—your coaching client Episode Resources: 9 Ways to Get Paid as a Speaker Paid to Speak Podcast Launch Contest Got questions?

Several years ago, Kent Julian was a man with a plan, who unknowingly helped dramatically shift the course of my life. His role in my business, and in my life, is a significant one. He has helped so many others like me, and I'm so thrilled to have him as a guest on the program today. I know you'll benefit greatly from hearing what Kent has to offer, so tune in now to the conversation! About Kent: Kent Julian is a lot of things: crazy-in-love with his wife, proud father of three, professional speaker, successful entrepreneur, author, swim coach, fish-taco lover, and proud bald guy. But this wasn't always the case.   He started out as an “at-risk” kid who couldn't read in third grade and ended high school with SATs scores so low that he had to take Development Studies just to get into college—on probation. From these humble beginnings, he went on to graduate college cum laude and earned summa cum laude honors with his Master's degree. After graduation, he led several youth organizations before eventually becoming the executive director of a national youth organization that served approximately 2,000 youth groups across the United States.   After 20 years in non-profit work, he did something crazy…he launched his own business. Now he speaks, writes, and consults students and leaders all over the world. You can find his work online in cool places like Entrepreneur.com, Success.com, HuffingtonPost.com, GoodMenProject.com, and more.

What if you could have an impact on the outcome of every event that happened in your life.  We will find out the formula for impacting the outcome of any event in this episode of “Your Encore Life”. You have heard about living your encore life, but you are frustrated or discouraged about whether you will ever get to a point where you can enjoy the freedom and satisfaction of being able to spend your time doing what you see is most valuable. You think: There are too many obstacles My current job or career won’t provide the flexibility I need My spouse, family, or friends would not be supportive…maybe they would think I’m crazy I won’t have the financial capability to do anything else Things keep happening unexpectedly that get in the way of progress I don’t have the time Excuses can make you feel better about you, but how is making them moving you toward your goals. I became frustrated with my career years ago, feeling I wasn’t doing what I was meant to do.  I made excuses about not having the time or the financial means to do anything about it.  That attitude effected my entire outlook and bled over into my personal life.  I didn’t feel like I had any control over my situation. But I was wrong. We may not have control over situations or events, but we do always have control over how we respond to them.  This all made sense when I heard a podcast by Kent Julian, where he talked about the formula E + R = O. He give credit for the formula to Dr. Jack Canfield. Events + Response = Outcome:  We may or may not have any control over the events or situations that arise, but we always have control over our response to those events, leading to the ability to have some impact on the outcome. Back to my story.  When I realized I that I needed to do something to start moving forward and stop feeling like a victim, I began reading great books and listening to podcasts and reading articles by thought leaders like John Maxwell, Michael Hyatt, John Ramstead, Seth Godin, and others. I realized that only by taking control of what I could….my response, would I be able to begin a trajectory toward where I knew I needed to be. How I turned a scary situation/event (prostate cancer) that I had no control over to something positive that has had a lasting impact, and how being in community impacted my response. Don’t Waste Your Cancer - John Piper Small Group Prayer Focus on being grateful for the blessings God has provided that I took for granted When you don’t take control of your response, the formula becomes E = O = V, the V being what I said I felt like I had become a minute ago, a VICTIM. Most people function this way by blaming the situation on other people or other factors. Blaming something or someone else may be valid, but is never productive. You can control your mindset or thinking, the way you communicate, the people you spend time with, the way you spend your free time.  You have control over that. You can control how you respond to any event.  Often you can impact the outcome significantly by pausing briefly before responding and asking yourself: Will my initial response ultimately impact the outcome positively or negatively. (ie. a situation where you feel you have been wronged, how might the way I respond out of anger make the situation worse, cause unintended collateral damage to others, or delay the healing process?)  Proverbs 29:11 says “Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end”. How can I respond or turn what appears to be a negative event into an opportunity to bless others and myself by growing from the experience? How can I respond to this positive event to magnify it so the joy and growth from the event spreads over others and results in long term growth and gratitude? Remember, stop and think before you respond. The best way I can ensure that my response to an event is thought out and appropriate it to take it to the Lord in prayer and ask Him for wisdom.  James 1:5 says “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” Dr. Canfield says in an article that I reference in the show notes: “You have to gain control of your thoughts, your images, your dreams, daydreams, and your behavior. Everything you think, say, and do need to become intentional and aligned with your purpose, your values, and your goals. If you don’t like your outcomes, change your responses.” He goes on to say “Carefully choose how you respond to events – how you choose to interpret events, how you choose to think about and talk about what happened, how you choose to act — If you want to achieve better outcomes. Remember, you control your destiny … so make it a fantastic one!” You can control what you do once you finish this episode.  You can dismiss it and continue as you were, or you can follow this action item: Action Item:  As we prepare to begin our series on 20/20 vision for 2020, write down three situations or events that make you feel stuck or out of control, and write for each one how you can respond or change the way you already responded to change the outcome so you can move forward to leading your best encore life.

* What Kent says is wrong with affirmations and his solution to create personal affirmations that fit you. * What it really takes to become a Certified Speaking Professional from the National Speaker's Association. * The moment when Kent (already an accomplished speaker) realized he didn't know how to get started as a speaker and why he helps other speakers get paid to speak. * Why are anchors more important than points. * A great story about how Kent's early success in his career lead him to choosing his job through arrogance only to lose that job in 9 short months.

E+R=O … don't just learn it. Here's how to live it! Event + RESPONSE = Outcome. Success in life and work is not determined by the Events you experience. Success is determined by how you Respond. Purpose of this Episode To empower you to experience success in your life and work no matter what circumstances you face by living E+R=O (Events + RESPONSE = Outcome). Tips Shared in this Episode Most people live E=O (Events = Outcome). Yet E=O guarantees you will get out in the game of life because it causes you to live as a victim. E+R=O (Events + RESPONSE = Outcome) guarantees you can experience success in your life and work because it empowers you to be Response-ABLE. Your RESPONSE, instead of the events you face, becomes the primary factor in the outcomes you experience. Wearing an E+R=O wristband is a great way to remind yourself to live E+R=O when you face challenging or negative events. Go to the Live It Forward store and use the promo code PODCAST to get a discount on E+R=O wristbands. The 4 Fence Posts of 100% Responsibility are: Attitude Articulation Associations Actions When you live E+R=O and take 100% responsibility with these 4 responses (aka “fence posts”), your life expands and more opportunities come your way. When you live E=O and do NOT take 100% responsibility with these 4 responses (aka “fence posts”), your life contracts and fewer opportunities come your way.

  And it’s good to be back with the 1st episode of season 2 and today the subject is DRIVE. How to find it, how to maintain it and how to harness it. I always start new episodes by recapping on the last but today I need to recap on the last two. Episode 15 was all about setting and achieving your goals and was placed at the end of season 1 as it’s an absolutely vital one –If you KNOW your goals then you can focus on what is IMPORTANT and PRIORITIZE those things over others. I also released a NEW YEAR SPECIAL which details Jinny Ditzler’s incredible book Your Best Year Yet. If you missed that one then I urge you to go back and check it out. I finally completed my plan for my best year yet on the 4th January and have been using it to drive me towards my own goals for this year and I guarantee you if you take it seriously that it will do the same for you. I’m going to flag it as essential listening for you if you are serious about productivity. Before I go to DRIVE I’d like to talk about a few changes that I have made this season as a result of what I have learned from the last. You may have noticed over the course of season 1 that the episodes got a little longer than the 10 minutes I’d started with originally. I realised as the season went on that points which require the listener to think about and absorb new information, needed longer pauses placed after them before I moved on to the next topic and started lengthening the gaps in recording after I’d made a point to allow for better comprehension by the listener. So as I move into season 2 you can expect shows to run at nearer the 10-20 minute mark as a result and a couple of them will get up to nearly 30. It really depends on the topic. ANECTDOTE DENIS WAITLEY the American motivational speaker states that “Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.” And the athlete ROGER BANNISTER who was the first person to run a mile in under 4 minutes said something similar “The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win.” Generally speaking, I seem to have what is referred to as DRIVE. I’m not a hundred percent sure when or where I got it, but I have it. At least I have it sometimes… I had the drive to get off my butt and prepare this podcast for example and to be truthful as I finalised my research and wrote up my notes to record this I could happily have sat down and watched some TV show or relaxed instead. But I didn’t. And here is why. Last year I made a decision that this podcast was something worth doing and I created 15 episodes. No one paid me to do it. I just decided to start and here we are. I am recording this podcast because I want to do it. For most of us, however, wanting to do something is just not enough. So what additional SPECIAL POWER did I muster to bring this episode to you right now? You really want to know? It’ll sound like I’m bullshitting so be warned… I er… WROTE IT DOWN. That’s it. That’s THE SPECIAL SAUCE I used to make me move my ass… and you may have caught this from me in an earlier episode but there’s NOTHING QUITE LIKE A DEADLINE to give you a kick up the backside and create a bit of DRIVE. I simply decided that season 2 will launch on the 24th of February, and maybe it might slip a week if I get a lot of work, but I’ll aim for the 24th of February and I’ll research, write and record 12 episodes which will be ready to release by that date. These deadlines are part of my Best Year Yet plan and one of my 10 larger goals for the year, so I took that goal and that release date and I worked back from it. I wrote that this episode, number 17, would be completed by the 12th of January, and I’ve done the same for the next 11 episodes recording every 4 days or so after that. This is no small task, but I’m doing it. I record in batches before the release of a full season, and I have written what Jenny Ditzler refers to as process goals in my Google diary, to ensure that each and every episode, and it’s social networking marketing images etc will be ready by the time I launch. But what else is involved in finding your drive? Putting aside the obvious one that gets us to work (earning money) let’s look at some others. How’s about DETERMINATION for one. That’s part of it. It might be determination to win, or just to beat someone else to the finish line, or maybe it’s just to achieve something for yourself, but with DETERMINATION, you can fuel your drive. Hand in hand with that is probably PERSISTENCE. Relentless persistence. There’s an awesome Napoleon Hill quote that goes “Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.” And that’s one I find hard to argue. PASSION too is a contributing factor. Let me throw an Oprah Winfrey quote at you for that one Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you. FOCUS is part of it too, as without that I’d have been sidetracked along the way. It’s one of the cornerstones of productivity and I’ll Pull out my old Bruce Lee quote book to push that one home. He says something like, the SUCCESSFUL WARRIOR IS THE AVERAGE MAN, WITH LASER LIKE FOCUS. I suppose another reason, off the top of my head, is commitment. I announced in the previous episode that this season will launch and I have to deliver, for want of a better way of putting it, to save face not only with those that listen but for myself. And then there’s DEDICATION. I had a whole host of reasons for doing this show, and I am dedicated to continuing it. As I said earlier, I want it to help people and that makes it all easier. Frank Lloyd Wright was quoted as saying “I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.” So with all that said I also think I know why, on occasion, I LOSE DRIVE ON MY OWN PROJECTS and I think its FEAR that halts me. I’ve experienced this time and time again just after I shoot something, but before I edit. A sense a fear that if I try to pull it together into a finished piece, that I will somehow have messed it up, and that the people I have worked with on it will be disappointed or that it will just be no good. I cover this topic quite specifically on my episode about the inner critic, but here it is again, alive and well and killing my drive. THE LESSON If you feel that you have lost your drive, believe me, you are not alone. We all find ourselves in a slump of sorts now and again, and some people really just never seem to get out of it. We have all sat NOT doing things WE KNOW WE SHOULD and gotten MORE AND MORE FRUSTRATED as we see others in our field advance and move forward while we seem to be stuck in neutral. I would think you may agree with me that, as creatives, we often lose DRIVE not just for work created for others, but also for our own passion projects. What I am focussing down on here is perhaps MOTIVATION. What motivates the drive within us? Well, there are two sides to that. You have: Intrinsic Motivational factors: Deeply personal values and beliefs. These are what I draw on in creating this podcast for example. And Extrinsic Motivational factors: and these would be tangible rewards, such as pay, or even consequences like punishments. The carrots and the sticks. The Daniel Pink book entitled DRIVE, which I’ll link to in the show notes, presents many scientific studies which prove believe it or not that tangible extrinsic rewards actually undermine feelings of autonomy and actually result in decreased motivation. AMAZON AFFILIATE LINKS US: https://amzn.to/2E6Xh1J   UK: https://amzn.to/2Et72Je  Quoting directly from the book, he says… “When it comes to motivation, there’s a gap between what science knows and what business does. Our current operating system–which is built around external, carrot-and-stick motivators–doesn’t work and often does harm. We need an upgrade. And the science and research show the way.” He is specifically talking about BUSINESS in this quote – I’d like to point out though, that the creative industries can only consider themselves INDUSTRIES if those of us within them think, at least on some level, in terms of business. And show business is show BUSINESS after all. Whether you are listening as a film professional, other creative or simply as in interested individual getting into a business mindset can be no bad thing for your productivity. “If you don't drive your business, you will be driven out of business.” said the Scottish-born American founder of Forbes magazine B. C. Forbes I raise this as if we want to learn how to master our own creative drive then we should begin to understand what is behind it. We need to engage our high-level thinking again. Daniel Pink says that DRIVE has three essential elements: Autonomy – the desire to direct our own lives. Mastery — the urge to get better and better at something that matters. Purpose — the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves. So let me expand on that as you must recognise these elements in picking up and dusting down your own drive. I’ll go on to some applicable solutions shortly. So Autonomy – that’s just a fancy name for doing what you want to do. If you have autonomy you are more likely to have DRIVE. It’s also one of what they call the six principles of adult learning that adults are internally motivated and self-directed. When you make choices relevant to your own objectives and you have the freedom to assume responsibility for those choices, then you are more likely to find the drive you need. That’s Autonomy. Mastery is the next one. Quite often you will find that drive comes easily in learning new skills, or in skills for which you are improving, or just want to get better at. It’s NOT about IN-BORN GENIUS or talent for these things. It’s just about getting better at what you do. If you are seeking mastery of something you will find the tenacity of effort required to get there. Seeking mastery of any skill or task, and the feeling that you are improving are strong contributing factors in achieving inner drive. All great masters go through a rigorous apprentice phase as they learn not only about the topic at hand but about themselves. It’s through that process that the focus to improve is better, and with that comes drive. “Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement.” ―W. Clement Stone /Unquote Finally Daniel Pink talks about Purpose: The yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves. Perhaps we are talking about destiny here or certainly a deep desire to achieve a worthwhile endeavour. I suppose that’s where I find the drive to do this podcast. A NEED to do what we are here to do. “Effort and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.” Said John F. Kennedy, unquote. So now that we have an idea of the principles behind what creates a strong inner DRIVE a little more fully, let's look at a few solutions and hacks to get things moving. I’ve based this section on an excellent article from THE CUSP which I’ll link to in the show notes. Firstly: GOALS – episode 15 was all about goals, and in terms of drive they help because not knowing how to start is the most daunting part. Whatever you are doing, whether it’s writing an essay, or shooting a film or loading that dishwasher - Figure out one specific goal that’s achievable now. When you see the path, it’s easier to forge ahead. Be specific though and write it down, that is probably not necessary for the dishwasher goal, but I digress. I’ve said it several times before. Scientific studies have proven that if you write something down, even on a post-it note, it doesn’t have to be a novel - Then you are 80% more likely to do it. Next - And a few of the rules that I talk about in episode 9 are based on this, JUST START IT – The problem most of us have is that we’ve got no momentum. Make a commitment not to complete your task but to do just a few minutes of it. When you get started, you may just find that you complete the whole thing. Next, BUILD ON LITTLE WINS and FORGIVE TINY LOSSES - When you keep your stakes small, your achievements encourage you to keep going, and you can easily rebound from misfortunes. If you washed a load of dishes, for example, it’s easier to put them away while you’re there. Conversely, who cares if you didn’t edit your film today? Forgive yourself for not doing the whole thing, and sync up the footage instead so that you are more ready to edit tomorrow. You’re still working towards your goal. Make these larger goals a sum of their smaller parts. RECOGNISE EBB AND FLOW - You physically can’t maintain energy and focus all the time. You’re not a machine. Try attacking a task, in short, intense bursts interspersed with breaks, rather than trying to ‘push through’ or ‘stick at it’. And don’t overcompensate for a bad day by trying to work twice as hard the next. You’re setting yourself up to fail and establishing a vicious cycle. GET SUPPORT - “Motivation comes from working on things we care about. It also comes from working with people we care about.” —Sheryl Sandberg /Unquote - True drive comes from within – but it’s nicer with passengers. Spending time with family, friends, colleagues and mentors – meeting for coffee, or even a quick phone chat – can help you enrich and recharge. Gravitate to energetic people who make you want to be better. But beware social media. Don’t waste hours in a feedback loop of checking notifications and thinking up witty comments. You’re only making procrastination feel productive. I’m guilty of that one… TREAT OTHER PEOPLE AS INSPIRATION, NOT COMPETITION - Because everyone wears their game face on social media, you can get the false impression you’re lagging behind. Everyone struggles sometimes, with something. Remember with social networking too that you’re not seeing reality, you are seeing the edited highlights of someone’s life. The photo which they have chosen to release, not the one in which they look like a fat oaf. BTW I’m particularly good at deleting pics in which I look like a fat brainless oaf from my phone before any would ever be released publicly. And remember that other people’s success doesn’t make you a loser. You need to adopt an “If they can make it, so can I!” attitude. I was the year below Kevin McKidd at drama school and when he left he I think did a tour of The Silver Darlings and then was in TRAINSPOTTING. I bumped into someone that was in his year and I said, isn’t it amazing about Kevin? That guy was so down, so annoyed at Kevin’s success that I think even now, 25 years later he’s still annoyed. Kevin was always brilliant, and I was genuinely happy for him. Try and kill the negativity and adopt the “if they can do it, so can I” attitude. In addition, the novelist Michael Korda points out that “One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.” In an article published on LIVEITFORWARD.COM the creator Kent Julian talks about how to Get Your Drive Back if you’ve lost it somewhere along the way. I think this advice is invaluable. He says DO NOT Try Harder, and I absolutely know where he is coming from on that. Figuring out how to get your drive back is not about exerting more energy or pushing harder, it’s about creating space to find your mojo. The first secret to how to get your drive back is to slow down and intentionally look inward. He calls this approach leading your life from quiet and just like you have to stop driving to put gas in your car, LEADING YOUR LIFE FROM QUIET allows you to stop pushing to put fuel in your life. This is exactly why I say in episode 2 that getting back control of your life starts with saying NO often, and meaning it. That gives you the breathing space to start gaining control. Kent says that the key for him is to set up a regular time to lead your life from quiet and to follow through with it consistently. I suggest that you set aside an hour or so at a specific time every week to consider where you are at, and what you need to do to move forward. His second tip is to Live It Forward. He says yes, stop pushing, but that doesn’t mean you should completely stop moving. You should live it forward by taking small, positive steps every day. Don’t look for one, big, magical step to take that will somehow solve everything. Mojo builds as a result of taking consistent, simple actions every day. As you take these positive steps forward, your drive will begin to build again. The American-Italian racing driver Mario Andretti says that Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek. SUMMING UP I’ve largely been talking about drive to do bigger life-level tasks here today, but if you have trouble with getting the drive to do even small tasks then you may want to try one of the anti-procrastination hacks that I talk about in episode 9. That’s available right now on iPlayer or the Android app of your choice. “Motivation will almost always beat mere talent.” Said Norman Ralph Augustine unquote Please remember that external motivators like money and praise can only go so far. You’ll need a strong inner drive to take you to the finish line. By utilising some of the techniques and understanding some of the motivating factors that I have discussed here today you will be able to form and move forward with drive and motivation. CALL TO ACTION One of my most powerful weapons in tackling daunting tasks is to split them into smaller chunks. Your call to action this week is to take something for which you have lost all drive and revisit it. See if, by splitting it down into smaller chunks you can get it started again. If you don’t have a specific task in mind, then assess your day to day tasks and see if, by splitting them up into parts they can be tackled, and become a sum of their parts. These smaller parts will be easier to get into than the whole, daunting thing. Utilise the “Sum of Its Parts Theory” and take from this episode the advice you need to rekindle your drive. That drive and motivation are within you. And never forget the special sauce. WRITE IT DOWN. PUT IT IN YOUR DIARY. BE SPECIFIC. Not every goal can be achieved in 5 minutes, or a day or an hour or a year. There’s no need to rush. In the words of Pablo Picasso - “It took me a lifetime.” ENDING The topic of Drive was requested in a kinda roundabout way by Anna @u_no_me_2 on Twitter but in the interests of true transparency, I was already planning it at the time. I know a lot of people struggle with it and I hope you’ve found the episode worthwhile. Just before I go I’d like to recommend a show called The Filmmakers Podcast which I’ve been listening to for about 6 months now and it’s awesome. Supporting indie film has been something the filmmaker's podcast has taken great pride in and they’ve been promoting other people’s work and campaigns over the year and a half they have been going so why not give back and keep supporting indie film. Giles is also an awesome retweeter of my @filmproprodpod tweets and I owe him one. Please follow them on Twitter @filmmakerspod or look to my own account @filmproprodpod or the show notes here for links. So thanks again for giving me your time.

Three events occurred this week that made me think about the importance of having healthy family relationships as we move from DREAM to DO in our business or career:   1) My three children went back to college after being home for a month during Christmas and New Year's break.    2) Matt Woodrum asked a great question in his Wrestling with Fatherhood Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/wrestlingwithfatherhood/ ): What is your biggest family goal for the new year and why?    3) I had a conversation with Jake, a young man who has the opportunity to pursue a career as a speaker. One of his concerns was if travel would negatively impact his family.   These three events made me think deeply about one of the things I am proudest about in my business, and something that I hope I can help the next generation of business leaders experience as well.   Purpose of this Episode   You can succeed in business and maintain healthy family relationships by practicing 5 P's with your children.   Tips Shared in this Episode   Business success will end up being empty if you lose your family along the way.

You've probably known several people, over the years, that where involved in an unhealthy relationship with someone and was simply unable to see all the warning signs that things needed to change. Over the years, I've done a lot of one-on-one and group mentoring with people who are full-time self-employed, or who are pursuing self-employment, that are very much involved in an unhealthy relationship that is holding them back from achieving financial success in their business. I'm not referring to their relationship with another person. Instead, I've notice that most full-time, self-employed, individuals seem to have a very unhealthy relationship with MONEY. All the warning signs are there. However, until they do something to cultivate a healthy relationship with money, they will never be able to generate great wealth. In this week's episode, I share why I believe that every self employed person can cultivate a healthy relationship with money and DRASTICALLY increase their income by reflecting, daily, on six affirmations related to money. Affirmation 1– Money can provide value to everyone if we allow it to FLOW. Affirmation 2– I always have plenty of money for all the things I truly want. Affirmation 3– God's wealth circulates in my life in avalanches of abundance. All my needs, desires and goals are met instantaneously, for I am one with God and He is EVERYTHING. Affirmation 4– I am grateful for all the abundance I have and I invite even more into my life. Affirmation 5– I am financially wealthy. However it is not my power or strength that has produced this wealth for me. It is God who has gifted me with the ability to produce wealth. – Deuteronomy 8:17-18 (NIV) Affirmation 6– I AM RICH in this present world. However, I will not allow this to make me an arrogant person. I will not put my hope in my financial wealth, which is so uncertain. Instead, I place my hope in God, who RICHLY PROVIDES ME WITH EVERYTHING FOR MY ENJOYMENT. I am committed to do good, to also be rich in good deeds. I am a generous man who is devoted to sharing. – 1 Timothy 6:17-18 (NIV) In Summary… For the past few years, I've made it a point to read these affirmations (and many many more) on a daily basis. Just recently, I was inspired by my great friend, Kent Julian, to use the REMINDERS APP on my iPhone to have these pop up on a daily basis. Because of these daily affirmations, I've established a healthier relationship with money. As a result, I found that my income has increased drastically, week by week, month by month and year by year. I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

Perhaps the most important success principle that I have learned and applied to my life is the formula E+R=O. I actually learned this principle from Jack Canfield in his book, The Success Principles. Most people, myself included, live with an E=O mindset, which means the events (the things that happen to us) determine our outcomes. If we are happy, it is because good things are happening. If we are sad, angry, lonely, or broke, it is because of events that have caused us to feel that way. This simply isn't true. The truth is it is how we respond to those events that determine our outcomes--how we feel or what quality of life we live. My good friend, Kent Julian, and I had a wonderful conversation about this very topic. Listen to our lively conversation: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: This episode is sponsored by: Please support our sponsor by visiting their site and learning more about them!

It's not what we do that makes work secular or sacred, it's why we do it. I learned E+R=O from two mentors and that completely changed my life. The worst thing you can do is think, think, think, but never DO anything! The best thing you can do is take action! Read books, learn new things, hire coaches! Always be asking "what is the next best step?" and then take it! You don't know which path to take if you're not actively walking down a path. I felt if I had stayed in the job I now longer loved, I was doing them a disservice. You never really make any mistakes, you learn and grow. A problem is just an opportunity looking for a solution. Thinking is important, but you can think on your feet while you're moving. Take your greatest adversity and turn it into your greatest advantage. That's E+R=O!

How do I Coach when I'm not the Expert? ▪   ‘I hired to my weakness' – Kent was great at the organizational side of coaching – then he intentionally hired an assistant coach who was an expert at teaching the technical aspects of swimming ▪   Research – spend some time watching videos and learning Coaching your own Kid ▪   ‘I have pushed them to be the best they can be, but kept everything in perspective so we can all love the experience and have a great time' Teambuilding ▪   Having parents participate in a relay race at their last meet of the year – kids go nuts cheering for their parents My ‘Cringe' Moment ▪   Kent is an expressive person and a few times early in his career he showed his emotion the wrong way – so he has learned that about himself and has to be self-disciplined to not repeat those mistakes. He did not make excuses for his behavior and immediately apologized to the athlete and the parents: ‘When you make a mistake – RUN at the mistake and genuinely seek forgiveness.' Teaching Children & Keeping it Fun HUGE IDEA #1: The Pigeon Game: You start telling a story, when the kids hear ‘Pigeon'- they race to the other side. You make it fun by trying to fake them out, i.e.: ‘there was a boy name PETER who really liked PICKLES…' You could use this for jumping offsides in football, or in any sport just to make conditioning fun while increasing the child's focus. Coaching Resources ▪   DVD series: Total Immersion Swimming Discipline ▪   Take control early on - If you start out trying to be everyone's friend – the kids will take advantage of you. Be kind and nice, but be firm. Reward, Recognition, and Teambuilding ▪   ‘Swimmer of the week' – awarded to kid with best attitude ▪   ‘Most improved swimmer of the week' ▪   Kent and his coaches' goal for each meet: Talk to each swimmer before one of their five events and encourage them ▪   They also gave beads for the kid to wear if they won their heat in any event ▪   Speed-breaker award(weekly): anyone who achieved their best time in an event gets award Inspiring Story HUGE IDEA #2 - Kent shared story of baseball coach when he was growing up – the coach only valued the talented players and tore down Kent. He contrasted that with his 7th grade basketball coach who poured into his life and was a hero to Kent. HE REMEMBERS BOTH 40 YEARS LATER.

Speak It Forward Bootcamp Review I spent a few days last week in Atlanta, Georgia so that I could attend Kent Julian's Speak It Forward Bootcamp. I went because I've been receiving an increasing number of invitations to speak publicly and I wanted to simply take my public speaking to the “next level.” Below are […] The post 282 Sound Effects For Your Podcast – Speak It Forward Bootcamp Review – Is TweetBot For Desktop Worth $20?

Sometimes life can be hard. The people that succeed in life face adversity just like everyone else. Frankly, most of the truly successful people I know have overcome huge obstacles. This ability to overcome and persist has contributed to their confidence and ability to conquer future adversity. “Adversity has the effect of drawing out strength and qualities of a man that would have lain dormant in its absence.” ~ Herodotus, Greek philosopher Last week, I sat in at the “Write To The Bank” seminar at Dan Miller's Sanctuary where participants learn to market their writing. A highlight of the event was hearing my friend Kent Julian speak. Kent is a former youth Pastor who has become a popular speaker and author of several books. Kent is an energetic speaker and captivated the audience in short order as he spoke of challenges as a youth and his daughter's diabetes. He also mentioned a formula that he believes many people use to get through life; E = O (Events = Outcome). Do you know someone who lives by this philosophy? These people merely take what life gives and believes that is their fate. It is easy to get caught up in the self pity, unfairness of life, or ‘why me?' trap. The successful people I mentioned earlier do not allow this to happen. They use a new formula; E + R = O (Events + Response = Outcome). It is your response to adversity that truly makes the difference. In addition, the growth and perspective brought on by adversity can lead to a higher level of success that you would not have been prepared for otherwise. “In every adversity lies the seed of an equal or greater opportunity.” ~ Napoleon Hill I am not saying you should pray for obstacles in your life. They will most likely arrive without an invitation. My message today is that you can choose your response and prevail. Have a great week! Pierce P.S.
