Podcasts about once tom

Let's get real here: The internet is overflowing with “get rich quick” formulas and endless motivational posts. Those temporary bursts of inspiration can be powerful, but to achieve long-term success, you need more than one day of feeling good. On this one year anniversary of the podcast, Tom shares the most meaningful insights on success that he's learned over this year. He reminds us how to achieve REAL progress in your business, the importance of accountability over the long haul, and the readily available tools that will keep you feeling supported and free to pursue your dreams, no matter the time frame.   "Success is not an event. It's the compounding of all the little things you do every day."  - Tom Gaddis   In This Episode: No one gets fit from working out for six hours…once. Once Tom learned THIS fundamental truth about building anything, he began to see REAL progress in his business AND life. Is motivation enough to make progress in life? Nope. For Tom and most other people, it takes setting THESE consistently so that you never stagnate and lose steam. Ever felt like a single decision would decide your fate forever? So has Tom, but realizing WHY a single decision doesn't mean the end empowered Tom to push through fear and take those all-important first steps to pursue his passions. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was it built alone. Investing time and money into THIS will, without fail, help your long term success.   Connect with Tom Gaddis: Join Tom's program here: offlinesharks.com Website: https://tomgaddis.com/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tomgaddis/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tomgbiz/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gaddistom/

Everyone on the planet is affected by self-esteem in one way or another. Today, Tom discusses how self-esteem in general can influence addiction. In this episode, he talks about what self-esteem is and why positive self-esteem is so important for sobriety and getting and staying sober. He shares his own battle with self-esteem issues and why finding the root cause is so important.  He also stresses that it’s a process that needs to be facilitated by a good therapist. He talks about action steps that anyone can take to start building up their self-esteem in a positive way. By the end of the show, you'll be able to understand how the health of one's self-esteem can directly impact whether someone will have or develop an addiction problem.  Show Notes: [02:03] Just after we did a show on the dangers of Suboxone, we found out that the manufacturers have been ordered to pay a 1.4 billion dollar settlement for negligent marketing. [04:14] Everybody has self-esteem. It can be good or bad, and it's learned over a period of years. [04:51] Traumatic events are a driver of negative self esteem. [05:41] The majority of the way someone feels about themselves will develop during their childhood state. [06:35] If someone has negative self-esteem growing up, the likelihood of them turning to something like addiction is higher. [07:43] One of the first things Tom and his team try to do is help clients identify where their negative self-esteem is coming from. [08:48] Figuring this out comes through therapeutic process. [09:19] If we can figure out what it is that's causing low self-esteem, we are in a position where we can reinforce positive things to build self-esteem back up.  [09:26] Once self-esteem is built up, it won't be necessary to act out the way an addicted person did in the past. [11:20] Tom shares his childhood abandonment issues and how when he first began counseling he didn't believe that it was a problem. [12:12] Once Tom realized that he did have abandonment issues, it was a good place for him to start building upon that. [14:05] We want to know what happened prior to your drinking and using drugs that made you turn to them in the first place. One of the biggest reasons for this is one's self-esteem. [14:45] Providing a life that reinforces positive self-esteem will reduce the likelihood of your child turning to drugs and alcohol.  [17:19] Once the self-esteem issues are established, it's time to reinforce and build up things that will encourage positive self-esteem. [17:33] People have to have some type of sense of identity and sense of security where they are okay with themselves. [18:00] Community and having friends is a big part of the sobriety process. [19:03] Take the top five people that you surround yourself with the most and you are the average of those five people. [19:39] Having a sense of purpose is a big part of the process. Having something to work towards will keep you going when you are sober. [21:59] It takes internal search to find your purpose. It's also okay to reach out to people and be vulnerable. [22:48] You also have to feel capable and have a sense of self-confidence. [23:19] Tell yourself that today might be hard, but you can get through it. If you don't believe this, you'll never achieve it. [24:22] Make a list of your strengths and things that you have accomplished in the past. [26:04] Eat good food and exercise. What you put in your body will directly impact the way that you feel. [26:57] Have some quiet time and go for walks on your own or listen to a podcast. [27:24] Be clean and take care of yourself and your hygiene. [27:38] Make sure you're home and living area is clean and organized. [28:10] Do things that you enjoy. Try things that you haven't done before to see what you like.

Today I am going to share with you an idea that will help you get the most out of people. So – are you completely happy with how you interact with everyone in your family and at work? Is there any scope for improvement? If so, here’s an true story which I still find rather enlightening. Years ago I worked with someone, let’s call him Tom, who was in most ways a really nice guy - except for one thing. It was part of our office culture to make rounds”of tea for each other. Now Tom liked his tea as much as the next person. He was a very willing beneficiary of the system. Months passed yet Tom had never made tea for anyone else. He was a free rider. After a while we started to notice and whispers began about whether we should stop making tea for Tom. He appeared completely oblivious to this resentment. He wanted to do as much work as he could and would probably have said he was far too busy to make a round of tea One day this all of this changed when the technical whizz-kid in our team devised an on-line system which recorded tea rounds. You scored a point for every tea you made. You lost a point for every tea that was made for you. You would be plus or minus depending on how many rounds you made Obviously, after a day or two, Tom was bottom of the league table, Once his lowly league position was brought to Tom’s attention, a dramatic change took place. Whereas before it had seemed as if Tom knew neither the location of the kitchen or the tea tray, now he and the tray were seldom parted. Tom made two or three rounds every day and before long he leapt to the top of the tea-makers table. A key question. What do you think was Tom’s dominant strength? You guessed it, Competitiveness. The moral? If you want to change someone’s behaviour, think about their strengths and how to activate them. Once Tom’s competitiveness strength was activated, his behaviour changed dramatically and in a positive direction This works with other strengths too If his strength had been leadership, we could have put him in charge of finding a fair system for making tea. If it had been kindness, we could have framed making a cup of tea as a random act of kindness to brighten up his colleagues’ day. I’m sure you You get the idea. If you want to know more about strengths, have a look at Chapter 4 of my book Achieve Your Potential With Positive Psychology or visit the via website at viacharacter.org. One final thought. This absolutely is not about manipulating other people for your own benefit, its about finding solutions that work best for you and them. It’s about finding what the legendary self-help writer Stephen Covey called win-win solutions. Tom benefited - he enjoyed being top of the table. And we all enjoyed the tea he made. It was a win-win. So why not when spend a few minutes now thinking about the strengths of someone you interact. It could be a family member, it could be a work colleague. Then spend a moment or two thinking about their strengths. What are they good at? What are their character strengths? Which strengths energise them? Finally, reflect on how you can activate their strengths perhaps by redesigning or reframing a task. We got the most out of Tom by activating his strength. Who can you turn from villain to hero? What next? Buy Achieve Your Potential with Positive Psychology by Tim LeBon

Hello and happy Thursday! What makes Tom, Tom? Why is Tom like he is? Ask Tom and his answer would be, "No one knows!" Why do you share then? "Same answer!" #lol  Tom finds himself feeling nostalgic, in a good way, which doesn't happen often. Once Tom has an open gate, it soon becomes flooded; Tom will feel everything so he knows it's done. He's never not shared so, he'll just keep doing him, hoping, wishing, praying YOU do the same! BECAUSE you are worth it! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

After his retirement from law enforcement, Tom was reintroduced to cannabis as a way to deal with chronic back pain. He began doing research about cannabis and used himself as a test patient. He is illegally healed and has been able to stop the usage of numerous pharmaceuticals prescribed by the Veterans Administration.
