Have you ever wondered about your purpose, calling and gifts, specifically how to become more aware of them and utilize them in your life? If so, then this is an episode you’re going to love. We’re doing a rewind this week because this is such an important topic and one that lays the foundation for a lot of the conversations we have at Redefining Wealth.  Plus, Marshawn Evans Daniels is a powerhouse and I want you to have the opportunity to hear her message again as she talks about her purpose, calling and gifts and how those things have shifted throughout her life. I also want you to hear about her incredible book – Believe Bigger: Discover the Path to Your Life Purpose. This episode is brought to you by my our first ever LIVE Podcast Taping taking place Sunday, October 13, 2019 in Atlanta, GA. Join us as we meet, greet, connect and record two powerful episodes of Redefining Wealth! Limiting tickets remain. Get yours at www.RedefiningWealthLive.com. About Marshawn Evans Daniels  Marshawn Evans Daniels is a Reinvention Strategist, Influence Expert and Best-Selling Author known as The Godfidence® Coach.   A master in teaching the art of manifestation, this former Sports Attorney, Miss America Finalist and Donald Trump Apprentice, left her full-time job as a stuffy big-firm lawyer and turned her passion for people into a multimillion-dollar enterprise just a few years ago. She helps emerging and established women influencers of faith to Believe Bigger, Live Bigger and Profit Bigger so that they can ultimately Give Bigger. Featured regularly on CNN, Fox Business and ESPN, Marshawn’s client roster includes HP, Home Depot, Ernst & Young, Delta, Tiffany & Co., Nike, Rolls Royce and NFL & NBA Athlete. She’s also the best-selling author of SKIRTS in the Boardroom and BELIEVE BIGGER: Discover the Path to Your Life Purpose. Marshawn’s philosophy is – “If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space.” Purpose Is Not a Checklist Believe Bigger is about discovering the path to your life’s purpose and one of my favorite parts of the book is when Marshawn says, “I’m not here to help you find your purpose. I’m here to help you become more aware of it.” – Marshawn Evans Daniels Purpose is the natural impact and presence your life is meant to have on others. This is the crux of why we are here.  For Marshawn, to understand her purpose, it took her needing to be in the trenches with people rather than speaking to them from a stage. Most of us, she says, try to look at our lives through our own lens or through the lens of what other people say and that doesn’t get to the core of our purpose.  “Purpose is not about platform or reach or fame. It’s about how you’re designed to make the lives of other people better.” – Marshawn Evans Daniels  Think about purpose like this: What is it about you that if you never got a paycheck or no one ever saw or heard your name you’d do just because it’s you? Purpose, in other words, is more about personality than profession.   Calling Is Your Assignment Calling is a specific assignment. You can think of it as a specific mission or objective and throughout life you will have multiple assignments.  You should look at calling as a seasonal assignment and ask yourself, “What am I being assigned or called to do for this season?” Also, realize it might change. This is where obedience and being open to and aware of God’s voice is absolutely imperative because you might plant roots in soil that God only intended you to plant seeds in. Gifts – Your God Endowments  Think about gifts as you would superpowers because your gifts are your superpowers. These are the things God has deposited within you and they’re exclusive to you.  Our gifts give us clues about our assignments and when we understand our purpose in terms of our personality and essence then we can show up uniquely. For this reason, there’s nobody else on the planet like you.  There might be multiple people who talk about messaging and branding, but nobody does it the way Marshawn does. They can’t – it’s just not possible. Or take me for example. There are many people who talk about money, but nobody talks about it in exactly the same way I do. “When we don’t understand that we’re purpose-made, we start to compete and live beneath our calling.” – Marshawn Evans Daniels  Our gifts, in other words, are great clues to where we’re supposed to be and who we’re supposed to become – we just have to be open to and aware of them. Do you know what your gifts are? How do they align with your calling and purpose? Please share with us and let us know your biggest takeaways.

Redefining Wealth Rapid Wisdom Questions And with that, let’s dig into Marshawn’s responses to our Redefining Wealth Rapid Wisdom Questions. Define Success: “More people who get to spend eternity with me and me with them.” Define Wealth in 3 Words or Less: “More than enough.” One Book that Has Redefined How You See Wealth: The Bible, particularly the book of Proverbs and the story about Joseph when he went from the pit to the palace. Fill-in the Blanks … “My name is ___ and the truth about wealth is ___”: “My name is Voice, and for me, true wealth is about speaking life and being a catalyst so that new life can come forth.” LINKS: To advertise on the podcast: http://www.patricewashington.com/podcastads Become an Official Purpose Chaser: http://www.iamapurposechaser.com Join Patrice’s Pod Club: http://www.patricespodclub.com To check out ALL of our past guests + episodes: http://www.patricewashington.com/Listen If you have questions about booking Patrice or sponsoring the podcast, email us at info@seekwisdomfindwealth.com.

Dit ga ik behandelen: 1. Uitleg van de strategiesessie funnel waar ik afgelopen 4 weken aan gewerkt heb. 2. Less = More. Hoe je met minder energie meer klanten bereikt via social media. 3. Hoe Seats en Sofas nieuwe leads ontvangt en dit beter doet dan 99% van alle andere winkels. 4. Dat hetzelfde mailtje positieve reacties en negatieve reacties oplevert. 5. De kracht van habits en welk boek ik op dit moment aan het lezen ben. 6. Hoe ik 1 op 1 samenwerk op de Messenger in a Day Vip-dag.

In this episode, A + K go back & forth sharing items on their LESS/MORE lists. KRISTIN’S LESS/MORE LIST: LESS excess. LESS unrewarding work. LESS pain. MORE space. MORE time. MORE connection. AMANDA’S LESS/MORE LIST: LESS of more, MORE of less. LESS agonizing, MORE organizing. LESS trying to be good or have other people think I’m good, and MORE having fun just playing. LESS trying to get to where I want to go, MORE just being where I am. LESS focus on happiness, MORE focus on wellness.

The big questions are often the most important but the hardest to ask, especially when you’re asking yourself. My guest today, Emily Ehlers, started asking herself the big questions—What do I value? What is important to me? — When her mother in-law passed away from brain cancer. My conversation with Emily takes many twists and turns as we discuss parenthood and allowing our children to grow, values and realigning our true north, and the numbness of drifting through life. Emily is an eco warrior and we talk about moving towards zero waste, how we need to be gentle with our partners when bringing new ideas into the household, and Emily also shares some great tips when starting out towards zero waste. We also talk about how we, too often, are chasing that imaginary finishing line—waiting for a magical day to arrive where we can be happy and fulfilled. But how that day we have been waiting for, is today. Emily shares a brilliant Less/More exercise where you write down what you want less of in your life and what you want more of, and I share the art of smiling, which is a simple but powerful exercise I do to help change or improve my mood.

Hur påverkar själva livet musikens uttryck? Hur påverkar musiken det liv som utövaren lever? Och hur påverkas sångdiktare och musiker av sina medmänniskors liv? I detta fjärde program medverkar pianisten, kompositören och entertainern Robert Wells, med svensk mamma och nordamerikansk pappa. Robert Wells kallar sig både hovnarr och gathörns-trubadur och har måttot Less is Less More is Best. Wells har nämligen skrivit och spelat in ouvertyrer till gigantiska evenemang som VM i ishockey och konståkning, och till OS I friidrott. Under nio år såg och hörde vi Robert Wells som ackompanjatör i SVT-programmet Så ska det låta. Rhapsody in Rock, som 2011 firade 25-årsjubileum, har Wells som dynamisk kapellmästare och kreativt nav. Konserterna har hållits på jättelika arenor som Ulllevi, Dalhalla och Råsunda och turnéerna har gått över hela världen. Wells är pianoprofessor i Kina, har pianoskolan King of Piano  på nätet och arbetar med stiftelsen Tummeliten till stöd för för tidigt födda barn. Hans pianistiska förebilder är de tre afroamerikanska boogie woogie-legenderna Pete Johnson, Albert Ammons och Meade Lux Lewis. Men även europeiska pianister älskar han, inte minst de två Vladimir, nämligen Horowitz och Ashkenazy. Och Arthur Rubinstein. 2010 gav Robert Wells ut sin första soloplatta Close up Classics med egna tolkningar av pianistiska pärlor av Chopin, Rachmaninov, Liszt, Debussy, Beethoven, Stenhammar och Grieg. Robert Wells var den yngste eleven någonsin vid solistlinjen på Musikhögskolan i Stockholm. Myten att han hoppade av studierna är falsk, men det var när Robert Wells hörde den svenske pianisten Charlie Normans boogie woogie-tappning av Griegs Anitras Dans, som han bestämde sig för att mixa musikstilar. Det berättar Robert Wells för Birgitta Tollan när de möts i hans studio i Stockholm där han tar plats vid sin digitala flygel och säger: - I min värld är ingen musik finare än den andra. Jag älskar att spela och jag älskar musik.

She lives in Washington, DC, and when not getting rid of stuff, Dara writes about getting rid of stuff, creates music (she released an album in 2016), travels, and practices yoga.

New Year’s Resolutions Have you ever set New Year’s Resolutions?  Toward the end of every year people start planning what they want to do or change for the coming year.  They set New Year’s Resolutions. Resolutions are defined on Dictionary.com as: 1. a formal expression of opinion or intention made, usually after voting, by a formal organization, a legislature, a club, or other group. Compare concurrent resolution, joint resolution. 2.a decision or determination; a resolve: to make a firm resolution to do something.   A lot of people set resolutions… Most never complete them.  New Year’s Resolutions Don’t work.   Goals Work!    Today we are going to cover what I believe are the 3 Critical Concepts of Goal Setting.  As we get into the rest of the episodes of the Goal Getting Podcast we will learn more.    Today I want to share these three with you.   The 1st  Concept, I call:   The What!   What is your goal?  Napoleon Hill – Think & Grow Rich – Interviewed successful people of his time: J.P. Morgan Andrew Carnegie   One Underlying theme – Clearly Defined, Written Goals!   Every successful person had Clearly Defined, Written Goals.   2 Key points here – Clearly Defined & Written Goals   Write Your Goals Down!    That is the 1st Step that I’ve outlined in the  9 Steps to Successful Goal Achievement eBook I’ve created for you, because it is one of the most important steps you should take.    Writing your goals down anchors them in the mind.  It also provides a visual queue.    It also gives you something to go back to when you need to remind yourself What you want to achieve.    Clearly Defined is the other key point.    New Year’s Resolutions - #1 is Weight Loss   January to April – Gyms packed – Regulars hate this time of year.   Know it will be over in April as most NYR’s will stop coming… will give up.   NYR’s just “said” to themselves, My Resolution is to lose weight.    I’ve set a goal for coming year to lose weight as well.  Not a NYR, but a GOAL.   My goal is:   I will get out of bed on Friday, May 1st, Next Year and step on the scale to read that I now weigh 185 pounds. Excited, I will put on my new 36 inch waist jeans.   That is a Specific Goal.        “Specific is Terrific!”   When you Set the What, be as specific as possible.     What is one of your goals?   Have you set a Clearly Defined, Written Goal?       The Second Concept, I call   The HOW!   When I talk about the How, I am talking about the   Measurable Actions   you need to take to achieve the Goal you Set.   If Goal was to Win the Lottery – and I Hope it isn’t   Measurable Action would be to BUY a Lottery Ticket.   If you’re not in it, you can’t win it!    But let’s assume you’re smarter than that and have set a realistic goal.   How do you go about achieving it?   What are the Measurable Actions needed?   Let’s take the weight loss goal.   There is only one real way to lose weight, one real “Diet” that you should follow.  That is what I call the   “eL & eM Diet”   the Less & More or Eat Less & Exercise More Diet!   The key to weight loss it to Burn more calories than you Take in each day.  That’s the bottom line for any diet that you choose.    Eat Less Calories and Burn More Calories  - eL & eM!   Did you know it takes 3500 Calories to burn 1# of Body Fat!   If you have a 500 Calorie Deficit each day (Burn 500 calories more than you Eat), in 1 Week you will lose 1 Pound!  That’s 7 days times 500 calories for a total of 3500 calories burned.   Health & Fitness Experts say that 2 pounds a week is a safe goal for weight loss.     So, How much of a calorie deficit do you need to maintain to achieve a 2 # per week loss?   1000 calories.   Now that we know that, we can SET a Measurable Action Plan to achieve that.   You have control over both the amount of calories you eat and the amount you burn.   Determine your normal calorie burn each day.  I like to use a fitness wearable device that tracks my steps and gives me a calories burned count.    This sets up my base burn rate.  From there I need to know what how many more calories I need to burn to meet my Burn Goal.   On eating less, check with your doctor to learn what a good calorie intake level is for you.  It is important to check with your doctor when doing any kind of weight loss program.  Don’t do something that’s unhealthy or dangerous.   Let’s say you want to set a daily calorie consumption goal of 1200 calories.    PLAN What you need to eat to do that.  I had a weight loss goal a couple years ago and set mine at 1200 calories per day.    300 at breakfast  -  400 at lunch  -  300 at dinner  -  200 for snacks   It really was easy to maintain that amount for me and still eat well.   To achieve a 500 calorie deficit at the end of the day, I would have to burn at least 1700 calories that day.  If I wanted to have double that, I would want to burn 3400 calories that day.    Now, what is your daily base burn amount?  If you normally burn about 2000 calories a day with your daily activity, you only need to burn 1400 more calories per day.    What can you do to burn that?  Check it out.  Find what it is, and then Do It!   Write down what your goal is for burning Calories.  Each day, write down what you did to accomplish that goal.  Track how many calories you burned that day.   Write down what your goal is for eating calories.  Each meal, track what you eat and how many calories you consume that day.   Keep track of what you did each week and you will know how well you are doing.  Keep yourself on track.   The 3rd Concept, I call The WHY!   To me – This is the most important concept in goal setting.    I tried for years to set goals, to achieve goals and often did not.    I didn’t know why I couldn’t achieve my goals. . . .  Until I learned WHY I wanted to achieve them.   This was the biggest AHA moment in study of goals.   And WHY is the WHY important?   When you get tired, when you get FED UP, when you want to QUIT –   Think of the WHY!  WHY am I doing what I am doing?  WHY did I set this goal.   If your goal to lose weight was to be able to walk your daughter down the aisle at her wedding, think about that, visualize that.   If your goal to lose weight was to be healthy and live long enough to be able to watch your child graduate from college, think about that. Visualize yourself watching your kids walking on the stage and accepting their diploma, throwing their tassel to the other side of their cap.    When you get down, when you get tired of it, when you want to quit   Ask yourself WHY!  If you know your WHY, you will be able to stay motivated, stay in the game, stay the course.      When you think of the What, The How and The Why like 3 circles, in a Venn Diagram, the center connection of the three is Successful Achievement of Your Goals.   Goal Getting, Don’t Just Set’em, Get’em
