Podcasts about motivate people

Money is a touchy subject in churches, and with good reason. Too often we try to guilt people into giving, when we should be motivating them. In this episode, Pete and Peyton help explain how viewing giving as worship and mission is the biggest paradigm shift that we need to help people make, and they give some practical steps for how your church plant can begin to model that.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode:Reliant Mission: reliant.org/cppNewBreed TrainingMissionbyBusiness.comThanks for listening to the church planter podcast.

Do you want to inspire and motivate people? Want to build a community, or rally people around your cause? Need to get buy-in (and potentially funding) for your idea, mission, or organization?  If so, this episode is a must-listen, featuring Sandy Dang. Sandy Dang is a social entrepreneur, leadership trainer, community organizer, and management consultant. She is the Co-founder and Principal of Co-lnnovate Consulting, a company that provides leadership training, capacity building, and strategic planning to companies, foundations, and nonprofits. Born in Hanoi, Sandy left Vietnam when she was ten years old. After living in rural China and Hong Kong refugee camps, Sandy resettled in the United States at the age of thirteen.  Sandy went from a childhood without books and very limited education, to being the only kid who didn't speak English in her school, to becoming an internationally recognized speaker, leader, educator, and master storyteller. Most of all, Sandy has used her experiences and stories to empower others. For more than a decade, she served as Founder and Executive Director of Asian American Leadership, Empowerment, and Development (AALED) an organization that supports refugee families through a broad array of educational and social services. Sandy was also appointed by President Obama to serve as Executive Director of the Vietnam Education Foundation (VEF). These days, Sandy teaches leaders — especially community organizers, and founders of mission-driven organizations — how to use storytelling to enhance their leadership capacity, and inspire and motivate others. She serves people all over the world, and works in both the US and Asia, including Vietnam and Thailand.  In this episode, you'll hear Sandy's inspiring story, and gain all kinds of useful intel about powerful, purposeful storytelling. Themes we explore: – Storytelling as a survival tool: Sandy details how she used storytelling to get support, gather resources, build community, and navigate life in the US (even when she was just learning to speak English) – Using your story to help others: Sandy shares how she used her story to build her non-profit, going from $15,000 to over $1.7 million dollars in its annual budget – The truth: Why the heart of storytelling is truth-telling, and how honesty and authenticity are essential to build connection, community, and support – The healing power of storytelling: Why telling your story might be one of the most healing and important things you can do for yourself, and for others – The power of public narrative: How to translate your lived experience into a story that demonstrates your values and makes people feel inspired and motivated to join your cause – Taking control of your own story: Why leaders need to share stories about themselves; how to use your story to build trust; and the problem with letting other people decide your story for you – The three stories all leaders must have in their arsenal — plus, Sandy's process for putting the stories together into a cohesive narrative. – “This will only work in the US, not here”: How to adapt the concepts of personal storytelling for a more community-oriented mindset, and how to work around concerns about humility and bragging – Tips for trainers, coaches, facilitators, and leaders: Sandy distills her advice into her #1 takeaway. Practical advice, heartfelt insight, and an inspiring and uplifting story…this episode has it all.

Leaders often ask us, “How can I motivate my team?” or “How do I enhance employee engagement?”. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer, as motivation is a highly individual and complex subject.But the challenge of motivating people is also what makes life interesting as a leader. Wouldn't it be boring if we were all like robots, needing three pushes of a button, to be motivated?Nevertheless, there are common motivational “themes”, or guidelines, that every leader can benefit from.Key moments[04:37] A common misconception is that people are motivated by money. While it's certainly true that people have jobs in order to earn money, once individuals feel fairly compensated, other aspects take precedence.[09:36] Daniel H. Pink emphasises three fundamental drivers:Autonomy is about freedom how to do the work, when to do the work, and, ideally, who with. While there are of course limits to autonomy at work, it is crucial for leaders to act as autonomy supporters.[17:42] Mastery entails the joy of honing skills and receiving recognition for expertise. Viewing people development as an investment rather than an expense is a testament to organisational wisdom.[23:26] Purpose extends beyond monetary gains. People yearn to contribute to something meaningful, transcending the singular pursuit of increasing shareholder value.[25:52] In addition to “finding meaning”, the “Socio-Analytic Model of Values, Interests, and Motives” identifies two additional “master motives”:Getting along: Humans have always lived in groups. Getting along with others has been critical for our survival as a species. Furthermore, “at a deep and often unconscious level, people need attention and approval.”Getting ahead: At the same time, every group or social unit always has a hierarchy with an unequal distribution of power. Individual strive for status differs, but from an evolutionary perspective, a higher status allows better choices in many areas of life.[30:04] Björn Ekenvall said, "You can't motivate people to perform. It's actually the other way around". Helping people to be successful, will generate motivation and ignite a self-reinforcing cycle of performance and motivation.[31:15] As motivation is so highly individual, leaders need to understand the individuals they are working with: What excites them? What do they like to learn? What are their aspirations?[34:04] Recognition and feedback signify a leader's care, fostering involvement and a sense of importance among team members.[38:00] A leader's attitude directly impacts motivation and performance: Leaders who look at their people as heroes increase the chances they become heroes. Leaders who treat people like children might find they behave like children.[41:30] Reflection Questions.Reflection QuestionsAutonomy: How can I give people more freedom regarding how they work, when they work, and who they work with? Mastery: How can I nurture individuals' development? Purpose: Does our company have a compelling purpose and vision that goes beyond profit-making?Personal Motivation: What motivates me as a leader? And how might this differ from others?More info about us and our work is also on our website secondcrackleadership.comDo you have any questions, feedback, or suggestions for us?

“Keep going, you will be all right,” is the advice My Linh would give her 10-year old self if she could. Having experienced trauma in her early years, My Linh understands anxiety all too well. She has learned to give herself permission on the hard days, and to accept the entire journey as part of who she is with no judgment. Normalizing this fear is now part of her message to others. (My Linh's previous episode is She Likes to Motivate People to TRY.)The biggest takeaway? My Linh wants us all to know there is always someone to help you the way you need it. If we can't find it we need to look somewhere else. Many fears are worth facing and getting a handle on so keep doing the work, it's important because you are important. Don't you want more? And let's hope My Linh writes her book. She has depth and value to share with a unique and personal perspective. I'll be first in line to purchase it. You can find My Linh at The Asian Anxiety Coach.Thank you for being a part of the UY conversation.The Unabashed You website has a page for each guest of photos, quotes and a blog with embedded audio at unabashedyou.com.

What motivates people to buy? Dan Kennedy says that, while this is the question everyone in sales and business need to be endlessly exploring, few actually do. Instead the focus is too often placed on studying selling tactics and not enough on the psychology of the buyer. Joining Dan to lend his expertise on this topic is Robert Imbriale, renowned author, speaker and coach trained under Tony Robbins. Dan and Robert discuss the top five emotional "hot buttons" that not only motivate people to buy from you, but to buy more and recommend you to their friends as well.

For this week's episode, I reconnected with an old friend from graduate school, Adriana Dakin,  and her business partner, Abigail Ahoude. I've been excited to talk with them about ImaginePod, the company that they co-founded to help social impact organizations and movements use cutting-edge marketing strategies and tactics to drive more impact. Anyone who does social impact work knows that in order to truly have impact - to bring about the change we wish to see in the world - we need to move in concert with others - we need others to take positive action.   Whether it's signing up for one of our programs, partnering with us to work in a community, signing a piece of legislation, or donating money, joining our board, anything that we do or create is - at its core - rooted in our ability to move people to action. It's a critical organizational growth skill and capacity. That's what Abigail and Adriana do with the organizations that they coach, train and support through Imagine Pod.Resources Referencedwww.imaginepod.com 

Hey folks, thanks for watching the channel. Today's talk is my 7-or-so-step plan, give or take, for becoming a leader who can motivate your people to do their best and most sustainable work for the company. And I'm talking about motivating the right way, which is NOT to rule by fear. You want people to LOVE their jobs; hence the icon for the thumbnail.I've been told that many people may not realize that subscribing/liking/commenting are all actually really good for the channel, because they help YouTube's algorithm suggest this content to people who might be looking for it.  So please subscribe, and/or hit 'like', and/or comment.It's also been suggested that I really need a forum as a place where people can chat with me and ask questions and stuff, since I'm always mentioning that in the videos.  I have taken it to heart and I'm looking at options. I'm currently leaning towards LinkedIn's creator tools; i.e., you can find me, contact me, berate me, etc. all on LinkedIn.  But if you have a better idea, please let me know before I commit.  I'm not a FB user and I'd sorta prefer to keep it that way, but if it's really the best option then I could maybe be convinced.Anyway, thanks for watching the videos!  I hope they're helpful and at least somewhat entertaining.

 Hello, vitality seekers. This is your host, Caroline Schafer. Please help me welcome Josh Hicks. Josh is an Army veteran who has a crazy, amazing personal triumph story. He has lost 60 pounds and went on to competitive bodybuilder. Please go to my Facebook page and see his transformation picture. It is unbelievable! He is an independent certified health coach and the owner of Hicks Health Coaching. Josh has been transforming bodies and lives for two and a half years now. And I can't wait to share his story. It is truly inspirational. Welcome, John. Hey, it's good to see it. Thanks for having me on today. Absolutely, I love your story. I love the idea to help motivate people that change is possible, and you are such an exemplary example of this. So please, let's start there. Let's start with your story. I know you are a veteran and I thank you for that. Let's start where it all began.  Wow. What a story, you know, , I'll take you back a little bit. I really want to encourage you as listeners to just really hear this. You know, a lot of times as we go through life, we all have a lot of life happening that sometimes we miss some key elements of a conversation piece that could really help us move forward in our own journey. So I really would encourage you today, just unplug a little bit and disconnect from where you currently are, the things that might be limiting you and your own disbeliefs of, obstacles that you're facing to really hear this message, because I'm going to tell you I was at a place for a very long time, where I felt like everything was happening to me and nothing was happening for me. And this can be such a crippling factor that holds you back from what's really inside of you that's great in each and every one of you that hear this There is something incredible and unique that's with you. That sometimes it's just a length of time and period of time that passes before you actually tap into that. And I want to take you down a memory lane with me and where I've really started and how I became to the person that I am today and really finding that greatness within myself. And hopefully by hearing this will compel you to challenge yourself to become that best version of you. As a little kid, I can remember, you know, always having insecurities. Insecurities crippling me from as long as I can remember, and we all have them, but just like we have insecurities, we all have a safe place. It could be physical or in our minds. And we go there a lot more than we care to admit if we're really honest and vulnerable with ourselves. For me, one of my safe places was running to my grandparents' house. I grew up in a very abusive home. I saw my mom beaten from a young child and to my early adult life, really. And it was a really hard thing for me to cope with.  I saw some things that you can't unsee.. See, it was really difficult for me to really challenge my way of thinking and overcome those obstacles in my own mind. So I became very insecure. And I would deal with that stress and unhealthy ways, really. And if we're honest with ourselves, we can really relate to this areas in our lives, that we are stressed to the max , and we've run to a safe place that may not really be serving us very well. I never really dealt with these insecurities and it followed me, you know, until I became a young adult, really just trying to find my way. I became a person that didn't want to ever experience a broken home. I went through a divorce while I was able to break that generational curse of domestic violence. I wasn't able to break the generational curse of divorce. So I had a separated home for my children, and I had to figure out how to cope with that. I grew up in church. I had a praying mother and I'm so thankful for that. I didn't have the opportunity to have a relationship with my father, but that doesn't limit to me for what I can do for others and how I can be the father from mine. So I want you to really meditate on that. The things that you may or may not have had in your past, don't limit you from becoming or having in your future. It's a choice we're always faced with choices every single day but I want you guys to understand that it's not easy. It's not easy facing those adversities and facing those areas where you've tried to kind of just sweep them under the rug, but it's necessary because it really defines and molds who you will become or who you won't become, really. I love the expression. Choose your hard. You know, you can either pick feeling horrible, about yourself, eating the wrong things and when everyone else is eating Doritos and you're eating celery sticks and working out in the gym at 6:00 AM that,  you got to pick your hard and I know where mine lies. That's 100%. I mean, you absolutely do. And I, and I say in this. Ordinary is a choice, but so it's extraordinary. And we get hung up on that. We get hung up on complacency, keeping us in an average lifestyle when we desire so much more, but we won't contend for what we desire because we take what we can have at the moment. And it holds us back. And often times, when we take what we can have at the moment versus what we desire a little piece that was hangs out in that safe place. I ended up finding myself one day, really struggling. I remember having a Sunday school teacher one day telling me just as a young boy. Wow. You have so much positivity inside of you. And I didn't really know that Sunday school teacher. Well, and she didn't really know me very well, but it stuck with me that someone saw something in me that I didn't see. I'm telling you there's something in you. I started with that and I really want to leave you with that today. My life didn't turn out exactly how I anticipated it to be. I got lost along the way. And that's okay. Because it all came together for the greater good, and that is what counts most. So that Sunday school teacher said something that was impacting and resonated with me to my bones. The power of words, right? Words have meaning words have meaning. And we tell ourselves things all the time. We don't realize how crippling they really are. You don't even have to voice it, that little voice inside your mind. That's verbalizing all the time, internally you're telling yourself things as a mind monkey. Yeah. You know, it, it stops you from getting up with a certain attitude. Some days you get out of bed and you, and you anticipate to have an attitude of gratitude, but really you had stinky thinking you started catastrophizing and realizing all the things that you had to deal with versus what you had to be grateful for. Right. And this kind of mindset can really move a person. Or keep wanting to digress. You're not meant to digress. We need to continually move forward and become better each day. And it starts with the mental piece. You fast forward in my life. I went through some obstacles there. I went through a divorce yet life happens, but how do you recover from it? It's a choice. It's a decision that you make. So I ended up not doing what I thought I was called to do. I would want it to be a pastor.  I wanted to lead people, but I got divorced and, you know, I wasn't able to churches didn't really adhere to that calling from me because of my past. So it kind of felt like it was limiting me. And this is where add though, that makes that, that makes me sad because you learn best from your mistakes. I feel like you you've learned and then you can help others with your new found knowledge, but people won't let you. It's a hundred percent, right? I mean, you learn. That's why history is so important. We learn what not to do from the mistakes that we made yesterday. Absolutely.  We can't control our circumstances sometimes, but what we can absolutely always control is the feeling that's attached to that circumstance and feeling bring results because your feelings will actually give you the tendency or the commitment to act on. And this is where you've got to take your thoughts captive. Now, for me, I couldn't figure out how to overcome this. I was depressed in a lot of ways, disappointed in myself for failures and not being able to do what I really felt like God was calling me to do. But if you look at where I'm at now, 10 plus years, I'd say I'm doing a pretty big thing for God, and that's awesome, but you can't always see things when you're in the middle of it, but you have to tap into this greatness that's inside of you. You it's a must. This is starting with your mental piece. You have to get really intentional in the mind. I ended up running so far from what I wanted to do, trying to fill those voids with other things that were just picking me further on a digress. I love that I got to serve in the military. There was a lot of great things that came out of that for me, a lot of personal development. But I remember when I went into the national guard, I was in bootcamp and I remember them telling me something the fastest way out is through it. And that stuck was me, oftentimes we're looking for the fastest way to something or the fastest way out of something. There's no easy way to get to where you want to be, you have to be willing to do what's necessary in order to win. It goes without saying that everybody that's listening to this call today, you want to win. Rather that's in a financial matter, whether that's in your relationship matters, whether that's in your personal health journey somewhere, you have some areas that you are really just surviving and you want to be thriving, stop waiting for that, to come to you and figure out exactly what it takes. So that way you can get there. It will not be easy all the time, but it will absolutely be worth it every time. I remember being on that. And I was when I was serving and my insecurities came back in a big kind of way. Many people don't talk to you about  their fears. So outspokenly, they put on this facade that they've got to be this hard person, but we all have a vulnerable side too. You have to be able to identify with that so you can overcome it. Otherwise it will lean into you and not you lean into it. I  was telling you. was a deployment that was supposed to be pretty easy until the tempo changed drastically. And I was hugging my pillow and I was crying, asking God, why am I here? What is the purpose of this? Why, how did I even get to this place that I am? And I got to that place for a reason. But part of that reason that brought me there was because I was running and trying to fill in voids with something or anything didn't even know what it was. And you fast forward, I got through that deployment, right? Because we get through the things, even when we feel like we can't, you might be in a situation right now. Like, how am I going to get through this? You will get through it. I got home. I have a beautiful wife. I started in construction business. I named this business Godly Installments. I created this business with my wife. We knew nothing about running a business. I new construction. Well, because I had a background. But when it came to running my own business, there was a lot to learn a lot of room for growth, but there was a whole lot of error along the way. The business grew faster than I anticipated, which was a good thing in one way, but it became a hindrance in a lot of other ways. I wasn't liquid. I didn't have the financial backing. I couldn't get loans. I wasn't mature enough in the business world for banks to give me those loans. And I was looking for ways. To make quick cash to support the business that I had grown because I had people working now that I couldn't figure out how to make payroll every Friday. I couldn't pay these, these subs and these workers every Friday. Right. So I did something, I looked for the fastest way out of a mess and it got me into a bigger mess. I took one of those quick payday loans. And while I'm not saying they can't be beneficial, For me and where I was in my maturity with the business, it wasn't beneficial for me. My wife would look at me on Thursday evening and say, we've got this bill due. We've got these people to pay and we don't have the money. Monday through Friday, every single week without hesitation, I would pray and I would ask God to continue to provide for us. Now it required action. You can ask and ask and not get nowhere. If you think I'm just going to ask or hope for something to happen. There was a lot of action, even if it wasn't necessarily. The greatest action steps in order to get me to a more successful venture. But I was praying and I was moving in faith and doing everything I possibly can. And he does a lot with a little, because every single week by Friday, sometimes checks didn't clear or they might've bounced. But by Monday there was something in there from a deposit to cover and keep the cashflow, there was enough to keep these workers going. And I remember people asking me why won't, why won't you just file bankruptcy?  It was so deep, the mess that we were in with contracts that needed to be fulfilled and what needed to happen. That we couldn't just take the easy road out.  Just takes care of it again, the fastest way out of it is through it. I told you in the very beginning, I struggled from a childhood just being insecure, being scared, seeing and be exposed to physical abuse. I remember standing in the kitchen and I heard this loud thump and my mom crying and saying, look what you did to my face and she asked me if I would come into the kitchen real quick, being the older brother, I had to take one of those wind up cameras and take a picture of my mom's eyes and she could send it to the commissioner. She got kicked so hard that her entire side of her right side of her face, her eye was swollen shut. She walked around with the sunglasses on for days. There's some things you just can't on. See, it sets those insecurities in further. When I got out of the army, I now had kids and I felt like I was failing at all areas trying to make a better life for me and my family start a construction business insecurity set in trying to find a safe place to go to can't run back to moon pub hops, where I used to always run. When I was scared. You have a safe place in your mind that you run too. You can't always run there. It's not going to serve you and move you forward. You have to lean into those moments. You have to identify the fears with the facts and start telling yourself the truth and not identifying with stories because the stories that we put in our minds are not the realities that have to be, unless we choose to. So I remember getting through this, this business escapade and I went three and a half years, praying that same prayer every single day, doing the actions, staying awake, Saturdays and Sundays thinking, how am I going to get through the next week? How can I possibly continue to keep jobs coming in so we can keep the cashflow move and to some degree to get, get the current jobs and contracts that we have done complete it and satisfied customers. It was sleepless nights, was stressful. My body was really just, it was taking a toll on me. I came home from a deployment , struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, you know. Here I am trying to get myself together, mentally. My physical health is struggling. Now. My finances are down the drain. Meanwhile, my wife, I can't even look at her with any kind of pride because I feel like as a husband, I'm not giving my family what they need. I remember being in the gym one day, I was working out in a small gym right here in Maryland, just trying to outwork the bad diet. And I'm going to tell you right now for any of you that are, are in that situation once your health, and you think that you're going to go to the gym, you're gonna your cardio and you're going to combat the weight loss. Let me just put a disclaimer on that for you. You cannot work a bad diet. It starts with your food. I didn't know that nor did I care about it. I was eating my feelings many times. We definitely bring food in as comfort to mask other situations we don't want to deal with. Well guess what?rsThat was the day in March when my life was going to radically change. And this is one of the places where people get hung up so much on really moving forward and propelling to the place they want to be. They are so afraid to fail that they won't even try. They will live on the excuses and the victim mindsets that will hold them back from becoming the best version of themselves because they see everything as. Not an opportunity for them. It's nice for some, but not for all. Well, I can tell you, I was at a place where I was desperate to change. Didn't know what I needed, but knew I needed something. There was a guy from Malaysia, it was traveling through Maryland happened to be in the gym at the same time I was, that was a divine appointment. He came to me and he said, oh, sorry, I get a little emotional because I know where I was. He said, um, you remind me a lot of myself and, um, I want to talk to you for a minute. I gave him a short answer because I didn't feel like talking to anybody. I had no money, so I didn't, wasn't interested in some sales scam, and I wasn't in a place mentally where I had any interest of talking to anybody that wasn't going to serve me well. So I gave him the short answer and gave him my business email and figured I'll never hear from this guy again anyway.  Now, financially struggling. I'm 60 pounds overweight and my mental health is just in the tubes to a stranger coming from across the globe.Walks up to me at a random has a conversation about how I reminded him a lot of himself. That's power. That's a call for change. And I'm telling you right now you have signs and opportunities right in front of you that you're missing because you're so buried in the feelings that you can't see the facts. I got home, I looked at that email. And I don't know why, but I was moved to do it. I knew I want to change. I knew I certainly wanted to look better than I felt. And I went ahead with a complete stranger and signed up for a program. Now my wife was not happy. She's looking at me like you just bought a box of food from a stranger, you know, nothing about, you're probably never going to eat and we cave and pay our workers. Much less our own bills. Look at my van. She said she had a Honda Odyssey van and this thing had been through it. The driver's side door would fall off the hinges if you open it. So we knew not to open that side. I took the van to the carwash, but I forgot to tell the people at the car wash not to open the slider door when they vacuumed it out, the door was ripped off the hinges and there was a string of traffic behind me. I was so embarrassed and ashamed. The owner wasn't their fault, but the such a graceful guy is so humble and kind, he came over to me. He gave me a $10 gift certificate and said, I'm really sorry that this happened now at the time, I was thinking, God, when is enough enough? I've been through enough already. Can we move on from this life? And I remember like it was yesterday. I picked up my pride and my ego got the van door back on the hinges and it took about 35 minutes. It felt like it took 10 hours because you got all these people staring at you and it's like, so embarrassing, but you know what? I didn't do. I didn't run from it. I let them vacuum the car out that day. I finished what I started, even though I was ashamed, I was holding my head down. I didn't want to be there any longer. And from that point forward, I got very intentional. I started doing extreme things to make extreme growth in my life, my finances, my personal development and my physical transformation I bought this program. It was the best, thing that I could have ever did because I need to change. It's not about the program. It's about the habits that I change using the program as a tool to really get me where I want to be. I started dropping weight, feeling better, having energy and really getting to a better place and better frame of mind because I started being intrinsically awakened to bad habits, bad mindsets and routines that really needed to change. And I started slowly changing these patterns and habits, and I started coaching this program to, I want to inspire others with my journey. I didn't even have a Facebook at the time. So I was like, I was telling my wife, I'm going to use your Facebook. I was taking pictures and putting them on Facebook, showing my transformation week by week because I wanted to help other people feel the way that I felt. That's awesome. And it was, it was so amazing. It was so freeing because I felt like for the first time, in a long time that I was doing something that I knew made me feel good. I put all kinds of structural tension in place. Here I am an overweight construction worker. I signed up for a bodybuilding competition at the same time. I went in for this all natural bodybuilding competition. I had some, some judges that were looking at me before I was even remotely ready and telling me you don't want to do this. You're going to look emaciated on stage is you need to give yourself another year or so. I decided at that point in time that nobody tells me I can't become what I desired to become. And you need to tell yourself that take a second right now and look at yourself in the mirror. Wipe your eyes out for the tears running down in the pain that you have, and the shame that you have, pick your chest up, pick your chin up and say it. Nobody tells you that you can't have the life that you deserve. Because you can, if you choose to. Right, I love Gary V., He is on that parade about, you know, don't worry about what everybody else thinks and nobody should be judging anybody else. And I love that, it's so true. And we all tend to do that, but you really got to get that out of your head or otherwise you can not move forward. So this story comes to some breakthrough in March of 2019, I said yes to a bodybuilding competition as a 60 pound overweight construction worker with a failing business. Really my family is failing in a lot of ways and I wasn't there providing the way that I had anticipated to October of 2019 walking on stage for the first competition ever in my life took first place in an all natural men's classic physique competition. And that was the beginning of great things starting. I said yes to a program that I knew nothing about, but I knew I need to change and change requires doing things your, scary to do at times it's the necessary. From that point forward, I continue to be very intentional about what it is that I wanted to create for myself, from my family, my friends and people that I'd never even met yet. So I continued to this day to help people all across the nation really become awakened to what their goals are, what their why is and show them a vehicle that can really help them. If they are really ready to make them changes. I will post that picture of your before and after, that is an incredible transformation that you made, I must say and that should be very motivating for our listeners. You don't have to do bodybuilding competitions, but, if you lose the weight, you feel better, you're guaranteeing your health, and future. So much better of an option, because most people choose to try to make a decision when they get some kind of verdict from the doctor. That's not a good time. So do it now! So, yeah, you fast forward 2021, I'm so grateful, I'm humbled and honored to say that, uh, God installments is a business that no longer exist, is a. And it was a connecting flight to bring me to where I am now. Sometimes we can't see the things that God's doing, but he's doing big things in our lives and he's just preparing us for the journey. It's a preparation. And so we're honored to be here on this call today with you. We live a completely different life today.  The grind is worth it, but you are worth it.nautAnd that you need to understand. I love when we talked earlier, you said, giving people an awakening or having an awakening yourself, would you speak more on that? Yeah, a hundred percent. One of the leading causes to death, across the cross, the globe really, emotional mismanagement. You know, we are so emotionally mismanaged. And the biggest reason for that is because we keep measuring our lives. Current reality on the stories that we tell ourselves and stories are not facts, feelings are not facts. That's so true. It's so true. And I, you know, the more I learn about psychology and neurology and all those things, that is what amazes me is that we get any. Tony Robbins say release things publicly. It no longer hold you prisoner. And yeah, I think that's such an awesome thing to think about and When they do, it's like so many people can resonate now with that and feel comfort in knowing that they're not alone and look at how they pulled themselves together and that. There is a possibility of some happiness and good times. I had a, if you just choose to make the change, I love that emotional mismanagement. So love those words. That's awesome. So, tell me, about maybe a client of yours, maybe one quick success story. You know, I have so many of them that I love to celebrate, but I, but I'll tell you one. You know, a lot of people, um, again, are looking for a short, quick fix. They want to take some pill. And I mean, what about, we're talking about real health here. We're talking about this is your body. You get one body and how you fuel it will determine the state of health it'll be in, you know, if you're really looking for ultra health and I want to say this real quick, this is so important. I hear people say, I'll do anything for my family. I'll do anything. But when it comes to taking care of yourself, will you do that? We look, we don't think twice about going through a quick, fast food joint or getting something off of a grill menu. We don't look at the research of it. We don't look at how processed it is or high-glycemic it is or how it can lead to be addictions to food. We just do it. But when you tell somebody, I want to give you a, an opportunity to really help you, with good dense nutrition that's made from whole food. Well, I got to research that. Yeah, Amen to that thought. So true. Yeah. So, one person that comes to mind for me is, a lady named Denise. She's just an awesome, awesome person. And I got so many of them, but, you know, we got to celebrate with her in a lot of ways, because not only did she get healthy, she became a coach as well. You know, when she got, she became a coach during her journey, just so you understand. Yeah. A lot of people have this common misconception. If you don't have six pack, abs you can't coach somebody that's, that's not remotely true. Okay. I would be, I would venture to tell you that if you're that vein and you're in body image that you feel like you have to have some ultimate physique before you can lead somebody else, I would tell you that I would really re rethink that because it's not that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, The accountability and structure that will hold for your own self and accountability level to coach somebody else, it will actually measure your own success to help you stay successful in your own health journey. Now, I'm not saying that you can't have to be in some different kind of frame of mind, right? If you have a bad relationship with food, you probably shouldn't be trying to tell somebody else to have a better one. But my point to that is that there's a time and a place for everything. And sometimes we limit where we can actually be based on the conclusion that we need to be. Beyond that first, right? Yes. Sorry. And don't yeah, it doesn't have to be perfect. I've learned all about that in the past year. It's not my natural go-to. but yeah, I've learned that. Just kinda jump and build your wings on the way down. So. Yeah, but she's optimizing her weight, which is amazing. She's a school teacher, you know, and here she was, last year,  on a mountain top in Arizona, you know, climbing a mountain top because she was in a place in her health where she could do that. And we were with her and we were there to be able to celebrate and be part of that with her. And that's amazing. You know, and how many of mountain tops do you guys that are here in this right now? How many mountain tops do you have in your life that you want to climb physical or emotional? Spiritual. Right. But you're not because you feel like you're not in a good frame of mind, not in good mental or physical health to do it, but what if you could change. Yes, so true. And that that's very symbolic is the, for the mountain, everybody has their mountains. And, but if you just stick one foot in front of the other and start, you know what I mean? That that's how you'll get there. You're not going to get there, just standing at the bottom, looking up, you know. Okay. So my last question, my signature question is, if there was one thing that you could eliminate from the world, what would it be and why? If there was one thing I could eliminate from the world, it would be self doubt. It will be self doubt. Uh, you know, I, I say, I tell you that $10 gifts to pick a card because I want you to put a $10 gift certificate in your wallet and say no more, no more. Do you need anybody to discount your greatness? Ooh, that's so perfect. I love words. And that was so awesome because you have a discounted card and you don't need a discount in your life. That is good. A lot of really successful people have those little reminders I call them triggers, um, that you carry around with you. It could be a mission statement, it could be a picture.  Wasn't it. Jim Carrey, who wrote a million dollar check and he carried it in his wallet or something. One of those things are very powerful. Don't discount them. They truly do work, but that is such a great answer. I love that. Josh tell our listeners where they can contact you. You guys can find me on Facebook. If you're a mutual friend here with Caroline, you can just find me right through there, but Josh Hicks, I'm public. I'm easy to find. I have a transformation picture. Um, one that if you really search me out, you'll find it and know that Hicks Health Coaching right there on my bio I'm public. So it's easy to find me.  You guys can also send me a text message if you want it.  My cell phone and we can put that in the comment. Absolutely. I will do that. And I'm going to stick that picture right on my Facebook page, because that speaks volumes, you know, that how much change is possible. And that was a pretty quick turn to on your end. Pretty amazing. Like most people take is years to get there. But you had a man on a mission. You were on a mission. I thank you so much for sharing your story.  It was truly inspirational and I hope people got value from that. Um, please like, and subscribe if you did. And I just want to remind all our listeners life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself. Thanks Josh. Thank you.

How are you with deadlines?  Were you the kid at school who handed everything in early, or the one up all night cramming it all in to submit 1 minute before the deadline? For the first time, researchers have studied the effect of placing a deadline on how we procrastinate or get things done. The research published in the journal Economic Inquiry looked into how deadlines can help to motivate people to perform tasks that they've been procrastinating over.  What they found is that different deadline lengths may have different effects (and not all of them good). While increasing the deadline length might seem better as it gives a person more time to complete a task, the research found that it also meant that the task is likely to be postponed until later and possibly forgotten. Their study found that people tend to respond quickly to something that has no deadline or short deadline of one-week, essentially a self-imposed short deadline  This sense of urgency, or not know when it has to be done by meant respondents just did it straight away. Interestingly when given a one‐month deadline, volunteers in the study seemed to procrastinate and this group was the least likely to complete the task. The findings could really help managers know how time-pressure might help their staff to manage projects better, as well as help increase response rates for e-mail surveys or charitable giving. LISTEN ABOVE

Motivation is complicated. If we look at all the different motivational theories out there, one could start to wonder which of these theories are actually working. Might it be a mix of all of them and each theory around motivation carries something truthful? Who knows? On the other side, it is very well known what demotivates everyone. So let's better have a look at things we can actually influence in our interpersonal relationships, and start removing demotivators, before trying to mess around with the minds of the people around us. Every week one specific business trend is examined and explained in compact and in detail. 

Welcome to another episode of Unlock Your Potential! I meet all kinds of fascinating people on this show. All of them are elite performers in different fields, who all made their achievements in unique ways. But this interview in particular is unique. Commander Kirk Lippold (Retired) served in the US Navy since 1981 and was the commanding officer on board the USS Cole. If you've never heard of the USS Cole, it was involved in a terrorist attack in Yemen in the year 2000. This attack was the precursor to 9/11. After years of service defending our freedom, he retired. But instead of going into military contracting, he chose a very different path. Speaking to Kirk, he's a natural leader. He has the confidence and resolve of someone who really understands pressure. Not only this, but he has some incredible insights into people, America, and the relationships that exist within our society. It's easy to see why he did what he did next! He founded his company Lippold Strategies LLP in 2007 that provides leadership consultation for some of the biggest companies in the world. His top-down approach to business and thoughtful management techniques are highly sought after by executives around the globe. But how did he learn all this in the US Navy? Kirk draws the interesting comparison between running a USN battleship and running a business. When you boil it down, there are a LOT of similarities. Resourcing, HR, assets, chain of command, budgets… The list goes on. When you look at it like this, it's easy to see why he's in such high demand! This was a fascinating interview, and I want to thank Commander Kirk Lippold and all the listeners for joining us. I'll see you in the next one! Create the life you've always wanted!
