What is your ultimate goal in life? And more importantly, what steps are you taking today to achieve that goal?  Here's why I ask: When we set goals, especially massive goals, it can burden us with stress. This type of stress results in procrastination, perfectionism, and giving up. But when you set proper expectations, you control your attitude and your actions.  In fact, these expectations are the difference between reaching your wildest goals or giving up on them because you didn't realize how close to them you were.  In this episode, you'll discover how expectations free you from stress and help you conquer your dreams with ease.

Most leaders don't do well with M&A integrations. They get so caught up in trying to finish tasks that they forget about the bigger picture. This can lead to losing the trust of external stakeholders, customers and suppliers. Or in other words: Shooting for failure. So, what should you do instead to avoid this? In this episode, I reveal some of the common mistakes leaders make after integrating companies, how to avoid them, and what you should concentrate on to make sure your company succeeds after the integration. Give it a listen!

There's a behavior almost all of us exhibit.  We delay decisions, because we're not sure what we want yet. And so much time flies by without any action taken, because we're still unsure, saying ‘maybe'. It could be an important decision to change careers, pick a course to study, or even something as simple as changing the furniture in your living room. But since you're unsure, you don't do it.  You say ‘maybe'. What you don't know is that your inability to say ‘yes' or ‘no' holds you back from achieving the level of transformation and growth possible for you. It's impossible to grow by saying ‘maybe' and not committing to any one decision. You have to say ‘yes' or ‘no'. You have to take that step forward. Because only you possess the power to change your life with a simple decision. So what can you do to break out of that behavioral cycle of constantly saying ‘maybe', and start making decisions that move your life forward? In this episode, you'll discover why you're addicted to ‘maybe.' You'll also figure out how to get yourself to eradicate indecision and finally take the steps that transform your life. Listen in… Show Highlights Include: 3 recognizable patterns that keep you stuck at ‘maybe' (and how these patterns slow your progress to a halt). (3:45) How having more than one option to choose from can paralyze you (and how to break out of this paralysis and make a decision). (4:05) How even your own brain works against you and keeps you from making bold choices that move the needle.(6:18) The ‘time trap' most of us fall into when making decisions (and why you must develop the skill to make decisions now). (8:02)  3 techniques to eliminate the ‘maybes' (so you can make decisions that give you consistent progress towards your goals). (10:44) The “Small Decisions” secret for achieving consistent progress (and why this works better than making big commitments).  (16:03) Interested in coaching with Brilliant Balance?

Relaxing is an important, objectively beneficial activity to the human body. But most of us can't take a proper break without feeling guilty. Somehow it always feels like there is something we've missed that needs to be done…urgently. That's why we have to learn how to make the time to unwind and hold that time as sacred. You can't do this until you unhook from a few false beliefs you might have about relaxing. These beliefs are things we tell ourselves that keep us from enjoying leisure time without feeling guilty. It's not your fault. These beliefs are lodged firmly in us by messages we've absorbed over the years. Eventually, we start to believe them as the truth. If you're having a hard time relaxing, I want you to think about your relationship with these messages and how they might be affecting you. In this episode, you'll learn what they are and how you've absorbed them over time. You'll also learn how you can reprogram your mind with more helpful messages, so you can enjoy more fulfilling and rewarding leisure experiences. Listen in… Show Highlights Include: 7 messages you may have absorbed that deny you proper relaxation (and how to reprogram your mind to get rid of them). (5:33) Why being constantly busy is viewed as a status symbol (and how this affects your ability to relax). (5:43) A harmful core belief you might have that makes you unable to accept help from anyone else. (7:26) The wide-spread ‘self-soothing' coping mechanism among women that stops them from relaxing (and how to create your own tolerance against it). (8:37) Why you run a huge risk if you tie your self worth to productivity. (10:30) How your definition of leisure might be hindering you from being able to take a satisfying break (and what it should be instead). (13:43) Interested in coaching with Brilliant Balance?

Immediately after my wife left me, she cleaned out the bank account (almost $40,000.) She used the cash to buy jewelry, and also got a lawyer (who sued me.) Unfortunately I lost the case, and The County of Santa Clara forced me to pay $3,500 a month to my wife in alimony and child support. This comes after I had lost my job 2 months earlier, and had no good job prospects. She then proceeded to kidnap my daughter, and moved to Germany. It took me 4 months and about $50,000 (which I'm still paying back), along with 5 lawyers, the State Department, and the Center for Missing and Exploited Children to get her back. Since then, she has made my life a living hell both socially and financially. === I tell you this short story to highlight the serious consequences of a divorce.  Now, I'm not saying every divorce ends like this, but with 40 to 50% of all American marriages terminating, there's a potential possibility it could happen to you.

Most M&A integrations destroy more value than they create. They do this by asking these irrelevant questions: How do we sustain our culture? How do we put our new portfolio, products, and services into the market? How do we understand our margins and profitability?
