On this week's motivation monday, we're discussing how to step into a place of authority in your life.

“Send Coach John a message”I was reminded (again), of how important it is to simply be open to wanting to get better. The podcast I was listening to that really got me thinking about this topic was from Jon Gordon's podcast, tilted “Rise To Lead” where he interviews his guest Doug Dentler, a CFO with a company who has written a book about this.  The mindset it takes to simply want to get better is HUGE!  I love the reminders that I heard about even people that have this bigtime title (CFO), need to still find people to help them become better. It's a journey I am on always - and my podcast is something that I hope helps you in your journey to continuing self improvement.  Go out there and find things you connect with in order to keep finding ways to get better.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff & B-7 Superhuman Rhythm    LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode traces the wild redemption arc of David Fullmer. He was locked up twelve times before being adopted by a stranger's family in Hawaii — and went on to help build multimillion-dollar roofing companies and create a personal development framework now used by thousands of sales professionals.   David breaks down his B-7 Superhuman Rhythm: seven themed daily disciplines running from Motivation Monday to Forgiveness Friday. He shares the phone call that ended a 30-year grudge, the humility 14 years of Brazilian jiu-jitsu beat into him, and why he wrote his book fighting off monkeys at a Balinese cliffside temple.   If your motivation runs out every Monday morning, this is the rhythm that outlasts it — don't skip it.

“Send Coach John a message”This short gem came from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) where he shared this #MindsetMonday message.  “The mind is like a Garden.  You need to weed the negative and feed the positive.”  Wow.. simple,  yet total 100% truth!  There are plenty of things that we can let build up in our minds and hearts that are weeds.  Things that will discourage us, doubt ourselves, be negative, etc.  What we need to do is “fertilize” our minds and hearts with the stuff that is full of joy, encouragement, builds our peace, connects with our burn and our life-purpose along with helping us to connect to the people we love and care for.  Even if you are like me and not much of a gardener, taking care of this kind of weeding and fertilizing helps us wherever we go.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

On this episode of The Exceptional Sales Leader Podcast, I am joined by David Fullmer, who openly shares his trials and triumphs from a challenging youth to becoming a successful entrepreneur in Hawaii. Through an inspiring narrative, David recounts the transformative experiences that shaped his path, including the pivotal moment he discovered a life-changing contract he forgot about. This episode is infused with motivational insights and practical wisdom, all revolving around the innovative concept of B7, a rhythm for living a superhuman life. Join in as David passionately unpacks the essence of B7, elucidating how each day of the week is aligned with specific intentions like Motivation Monday and Forgiveness Friday. He emphasises the power of writing down goals, stating, “I realised the power of writing things down. The power that dreams come true and realising that nothing will ever happen to me, it will only happen for me.” Central themes include the importance of persistence, self-awareness, and the effective management of one’s energy and attitude. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to uplift their life rhythm and step into their fullest potential.

“Send Coach John a message”I found this post and all the parts to it, as a big-time reminder for me to keep looking to get better.  It comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and a powerful connection is this:  “Your competition isn't other people.  Your competition is: your bad habits, your distractions, your insecurities, your procrastination, your lack of discipline, your fear and your ego.”  There is a lot of truth in this for me as I found out this morning. Let's just say I was reminded about the simple fact that I have a lot to work on. I'm just glad I'm acknowledging that fact and I'm willing to do something about it.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I needed this reminder for sure today - because remember, motivation comes from inside of us for us.  I found it from Art of Life  (@Art0fLife_) and the thought was this:  “You're the greatest project you'll ever work on. Restart.  Reset.  Refocus.  As many times as you need.” This got me refocused right behind the heart… as I needed to restart things with my computer that died over the weekend. I'm trying to get things back running and I needed this reminder.  I know I'll need it again when the next storm comes through as well. The same goes for all of us. Love this reminder….

“Send Coach John a message”Found a great (and short) post that I wanted to share with you today. It comes from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) and she introduces this post with this:  “Goodness I love these people.”  The thought is this:  “The people whose first instinct is to smile when you make eye contact with them are some of Earth's greatest treasure.”  So, I caught a couple of things here. First is that I need to be this person more often.  It also helped to remind me that when I smile more it benefits someone else and myself.  Once again, something that the world needs more of for sure.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found this from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) because it made total sense to me as I have been thinking about this a lot more lately.  What she shared was this:  “I hope you have a random moment today where you look around and think “Oh.  This is my life.”  And instead of spiraling, you smile.  Because maybe it's not perfect.  But it's yours.”  As I prepped for this podcast along with the errands and other things I had to do this morning, I got a message from one of my good friends Jodie.  This topic has come up for both of us in recent weeks. She shared how she felt a bit “giddy” with one aspect of what she's been going through. I was reminded that we also need to do things / recognize things that make us feel that way a bit more often.  I know I need to take more intentful moments to remind myself how proud and “giddy” I am about “Oh, this is my life.”  Maybe you can find those moments too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found a great reminder and it's really easy to picture this in my mind. It comes from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where this true reminder is shared:  “Rivers never go in reverse. So try to live like a river.  Forget your past and focus on your future.  Always be positive.”  Powerful picture for us to follow.  It helps me to remember that like water in a river, life is always moving forward. We can't go backwards…. Only in our minds can we do that. The lessons we carry are HUGE for learning and growing.

Most of us don't need another hype speech. We need a repeatable way to live that doesn't collapse the moment stress hits. That's why I sat down with David Fullmer, entrepreneur, speaker, and author of Becoming Seven: The Superhuman Rhythm, to talk about the real work behind personal growth: extreme ownership, daily habits, and the decision to stop letting the past run the present.David shares pieces of his story, from a difficult childhood and youth correctional programs to addiction, anger, and the hard resets that forced him to change. We get into why “victim mode” is so tempting, why blaming parents or betrayal becomes a lifelong crutch, and how forgiveness is less about excusing someone else and more about freeing your own mind. His examples, especially the way his mother modeled grace under pressure, put real weight behind the idea that you can refuse bitterness without pretending pain never happened.Then we unpack the Becoming Seven framework, a simple seven-day rhythm designed to create lasting change without relying on motivation alone: Motivation Monday, Tracking Tuesday, Whisper Wednesday, Thankful Thursday, Forgiveness Friday, Satisfaction Saturday, and Supplication Sunday. We talk gratitude as a performance advantage, intuition as a skill you can practice, why high performers don't cling to old stories, and why doing hard things on purpose is a direct path out of average.If you want a practical mindset reset, a clearer purpose, and a weekly structure that makes self-improvement feel doable, press play now.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a great post from Coach AJ  / Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) “The real fear shouldn't be action - it should be inaction.” There is a very deep post here that I will post on my social media channels for you to take a longer look at these thoughts on this very important life topic.  It ties into Friday's show dealing with regret and discipline.  The intro quote from Coach John Wooden is a key part of this. “You're going to fail on occasions. But the greatest failure of all is failure to act when action is needed… You have to act knowing that at times you will fail… that's the greatest - absolutely the greatest - fault of all is failure to act when action is needed.”  Powerful thoughts that go with this from Coach AJ. Again, for me this is a huge reminder as I stated when I reposted this:  “One of the biggest (and truest) reminders that I know I needed to re-connect with!  The “key” for me is to have this truth be a part of my everyday life. I have plenty of examples from my past where I didn't try & plenty where I did. Always learning & growing! Thanks Coach AJ!”  I hope you can make a big connection with this episode as well.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Unlock the power of dopamine to make fitness work for you instead of against you. In this Motivation Monday episode, Matt explains why dopamine is more about anticipation than pleasur, and how chasing novelty with new diets and workout programs can keep you stuck. Learn how to shift your focus toward the excitement of consistent progress, break free from program hopping, and build habits that lead to lasting results. The secret to success isn't finding the next shiny thing, it's digging deeper where you are.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a great post that to me, connected to Fathers Day (and every day with people in our lives) and it comes from Bob Starkey (@CoachBobStarkey):  “The older I get, the smarter my father seems to get.” ~ Tim Russert. I found this totally true for not only my dad and the lessons and advice given to me throughout my lifetime - but to so many others too.  My mom, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, etc., along with so many other key people in my life fit into this too.  The other thing that hit me (as I recorded this in the mobile studio near an airport), is that we need to remember that we also are that person to others that offers examples and advice for living our best lives. Another reason for us to keep trying to be our best and to keep investing in ourselves so that we can give our best to ourselves and to others.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found today's motivation tidbit from Jim Rohn Official (@OfficialJimRohn) where he reminds us about what success is really made up of.  Remember, we all have our own pieces of what success means to us.  "Success is a few simple disciplines practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment repeated every day." — “Jim Rohn Simple. Daily. Repeated. That's the formula.”  As I let this sink in a bit, it's easy for me to see that I have plenty to work on each and every day and I am grateful for the chance to keep getting better.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”My connection with John O'Leary keeps getting stronger as I continue to see what a difference maker he is for people. A recent podcast from him had this description “It is rarely the brightest lights or biggest personalities that change the world most profoundly. Far more often and far more importantly, it's ordinary people quietly choosing to use whatever gifts they have to lift the lives around them.”  You can find the short episode HERE.  The short part I am sharing in today's show gets me thinking about saying YES to doing more to making a difference for others and myself. The world needs us to use our gifts for the people around us that need help in whatever way we can help them.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I came across not only a post from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) but I also just picked up a copy of his latest book “The Power of Positive Habits”.  Great stuff in my quest to just keep trying to get better and be my best version of myself. The post was this:  “There's nothing more powerful than a humble person with a warrior spirit who is driven by a bigger purpose.”  I love this!!  What a huge reminder for us to keep looking to be humble throughout life! Keep looking to have the mindset of a warrior - keep going, not giving up, get back up when getting knocked down, etc.  Keep feeding that spark inside of us that helps to make us who we are. Why are we here? What are we doing with our lives? I think it's all about constantly connecting with our purpose - every - single - day!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I connected with this guy again, as it's been awhile since I've shared something from Coach AJ  / Mental Fitness (@coachajkings). This one is a reminder of some pure gold basics in life. It comes from football coach, Dabo Swinney who said, "It's the optimists who change the world." Success starts with your mindset and what you do every single day. A bad attitude holds you back. A great attitude takes you forward. "The only disability in life is a bad attitude." We all have this disability at times throughout our lives, along with others. Keep trying to be your best as I am doing the same. I'm reminding myself that my effort and attitude are the only things that I can really control - I need to keep working on these for sure.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I love finding things that help me the moment I see them. This one is an example of that for sure. From Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) there is this short but sweet & powerful nugget: “Your next move matters way more than your last mistake.”  I need to focus in a bit more on the next move for myself and not keep getting hung up on the past. When I'm thinking about the things that I am facing or that have to get done, I can really get in my own way with this somewhat negative mindset. Then, the thing I need to face, get through, get done, etc., becomes more difficult than it really is.  This is something I'm working on for sure. A very positive point about this - I don't have to wait to work on it as there are things going on right now to practice getting better. I think we all have that opportunity more than we think.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **
