Breaking Bad Habits the Easy Way Have you struggled to break a habit? Bad habits are not good. They will mess up your day. They are also not permanent. You weren’t born with bad habits and are not required under penalty of law to keep bad habits.  Since there’s no real reason to keep bad habits, let’s replace them easily. Nobody likes to give up what’s comfortable - even if it’s not serving you. Instead, start a new behavior and replace the bad before it messes up your life again.  Breaking bad habits is doing new behaviors instead of old behaviors. No muss. No-fuss. Be consistent and persistent, and you will forever wipe that old habit away. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Success From Doing Nothing Before I begin, I want to define what I mean by doing nothing. I don’t see doing ‘nothing’ as something unproductive. Instead, I see ‘nothing’ as a protected personal space between your thoughts and actions.  It is a place that provides a contemplation and planning opportunity before launching into massive and focused action design to reach your outcome and achieve your goal. It is a holding space where inspiration, desperation, motivation, and even intimidation bubble into your consciousness and await your next action. Instead of moving your thoughts immediately into action mode or never moving at all, both of which cause unnecessary drama, you purposefully quarantine your thoughts until you are assured of your success plan or decide to take a new direction. Doing nothing looks like this: 1) All thoughts and potential actions arrive in your mind and are held for evaluation. 2) Unless based on a previous decision and cleared for instant action, you always take the time to ensure tha

Change Anything in 3 Steps Is a title like "Three Steps Required to Change Anything" an oversimplification of what it takes to get what you want? Or… is it the acceptance that everything is simple - until we complicate it? If you guess the second, you will get along just fine. So, what are those three steps? The first step to getting anything you want is to KNOW what you want. Many will argue that the first step is the most difficult. Like they say, "work with the outcome in mind." I don't see it this way and believe it's not more complicated than what follows. Next, you need to know how to accomplish your goal by establishing a framework or roadmap. No, you won't see every step you must take, but unless you are living under a rock, you will know the significant accomplishments that must happen. Just look around, and you'll see them everywhere. Finally, you must take consistent and disciplined action toward your goal with every waking moment. You take longer to reach your outcome every time you allow your foc

Believing in Your Future Self I’ll never forget the day a mentor of mine said to me — “You have to become the person you want to be before becoming the person you want to be.” What?  So, do I have to fake it until I make it? Heck no! I’m not going to change who I am - no way! “No. You’re not changing who you are. It’s just that you have to understand that in the future, you will have a different set of beliefs than you hold right now. That’s called growth. Whatever you believe, you will become.” At first, I thought he meant I would have to sell my soul to the devil and take on beliefs, not mine, to get what I wanted. But one day, I realized that day-to-day living is changing me anyway. I may as well make a choice myself. My thinking went like this — If I hold a self-image because of what I believe, all I have to do is create a future self-image, decide what that person would believe, and design a set of rules and actions that make those beliefs happen. What’s the best part? There’s no waiting. The very minute

Is Your Morning Routine Focused You hear a lot about using morning rituals to get more done. But what if you could use your mornings to get more done for YOU? In the fast-paced world we live in today, there seem to be two groups when it comes to how to use mornings—personal and productivity. Once folks remove themselves from the craziness of jumping out of bed, taking care of the kids, and hitting the drive-through, they choose one of the two.  But what if there was a third group that was more satisfying? Before I go on, I need to admit that I didn't use to be a morning person and didn't like getting up early at all. I even quit my first couple of jobs as a morning radio host so I could sleep.  Later in my career, I would hit my desk at 5 AM and pound through my to-do list as fast as possible. I must have been saying, "I…MUST… GET… IT… DONE!" That didn't work well because I didn't see the purpose of getting out of bed early if it was only to work. For a few years, I spent my mornings reading and meditating be

The Secret to Taking Action Is today the day that you self-activate and step into your power? After all, your dreams are waiting. Feeling intimidated and unsure of the next step on your life journey is easy. Nobody likes leaving their comfort zone - even if it will someday make them feel more comfortable.   Remember this. Everything in life happens when you realize that you control your destiny. Even if you do nothing at all, you are in control.   Deciding to walk your true path is a simple act of self-activation. It is choosing to remove yourself from the masses and stand up for yourself. It is exploring the possibility of life and making a difference. Is today the time to declare your power, self-activate, and show everybody who you are?   Don’t wait. The world is waiting for you to come out of your shell. Learn more about your ad choices.

Traveling From Intention to Success An epidemic infecting dreamers worldwide is nothing more than a dream buster. Living a happy life, enjoying excellent relationships, and making more money? It seems that everyone has intention. Some intentions are good. Some intentions are bad. In any case, moving from having intentions to succeed requires two steps: 1) Intention becomes actionable when you DECIDE to follow through on your intention. If not, nothing will happen. When you do, move on to the next step. 2) Once you’ve DECIDED to follow through on your intention, ACTION is required. What kind? Actions that form a direct path to your anticipated outcome. Become someone who knows what you want, decides to do it, and follows through until you get it. That’s how you become unstoppable! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Where You Should Put Your Focus I was speaking with a young man who was doing something familiar. He was living in two realities: 1) He had finished school; one reality was pursuing his dream career.  2) While he worked toward his dream, he earned a job certification to pay the bills. During our conversation, he said something that got my attention. “I’m hoping I can get a good job supporting my dream.” My ears perked up. Years of Coaching allow me to hear de-focused and dream-erasing thoughts loud and clear.  Yes, everybody needs to pay their bills. However, what you focus on is what you get. When the certainty of earning income becomes your focus, dreams disappear. What you focus on is what you get. Most folks don’t notice their dreams are gone for twenty years. What you focus on is what you get. Focus your mind and actions on turning your dreams into reality. Whatever you do to earn a living alone falls into the category of necessary and temporary.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adc

Motivation to Always Reach Your Goals You’ve heard if you want success, you must go after your goals with consistency and dedication. You must want it for yourself—more than anybody wants it for you. YOU are the engine that drives your dreams. Others will help, but in the end, your actions are the only thing that will lead to the reward. I remember when my kids got older. I had a talent for manifesting what I wanted in life, and my Son asked, “Dad, how do you always seem to create what you want?” I said, “YOU must decide that you want it before you can get it. You are the engine that drives your dreams.” I laughed when he said, “Is that telling me to make my bed when I was a kid?” One more thing. Some people think when they reach their goals, they can take a break. Not so. Permanent success does not come from temporary actions. Your real reward will be all the new opportunities in your life. Everybody loves a winner. YOU are the engine that drives your dreams. Always remember that. Learn more about your ad ch

How to Succeed at Your Job Have you ever wondered how to become one of those happy and successful people you see everywhere? You might say, “Hmm… what are they doing that I’m not doing?”   You might find a clue if you listen to Bill Belichick, the Coach of the New England Patriots.  He says, “DO YOUR JOB!” It’s a simple Manta that means you have an assignment and need to execute it. If you have dreams and aspirations, your assignment is to go after it. You need to execute it. If you want a better job or promotion, your assignment is to do the work. You need to execute it. If you want to step up and make more money driving for Uber - you have an assignment. You need to execute it. Anything is possible when you understand your JOB to make it happen. DO YOUR JOB! The rest will take care of itself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Growing up, I was an energetic, enthusiastic, and excitable child. I never let a day go by without challenging something - usually with my mouth. Thanks to those responsible for turning me into a good person, I learned a valuable lesson when they said- “Listen twice as much as you speak. You have two ears and one mouth for a reason.” You’ve heard that before, and in today’s fast-paced world, knowing when to put a zipper on your lips is critical. But I’ve also learned to take that advice to a new level to get what I want. I call it going “Dark.” When you go “Dark,” you have chosen to listen to others less. You are still listening, caring, and interacting with those around you. You’ve decided to listen to yourself twice as much instead. The world we live in today makes it seem as though it’s impossible to get what you want without others. There are endless hours of interacting, Googling, ZOOMing, Texting, and more. It’s like we’ve lost permission to think and do for ourselves. We can’t move forward without the

My friend Sid called to tell me he had found his next big thing. He decided to take flying lessons and couldn't wait to get started. I have always wanted to learn to fly after hearing my Mom's stories over the years. Her father was a contractor in Wilmington, North Carolina. When an airport client couldn't pay, he offered lessons. She was 15 years old. Her stories of landing on the beaches of North Carolina were thrilling. Flying Solo before an arriving hurricane was captivating. We'll forget the fact that she 3-days short of being legally old enough. Her adventurous spirit took control. With a hurricane coming, she wasn't going to ask for permission. She took command, and it put her in the record books. By the time I began flying 50 years later, things were more controlled, and speaking on the radio to Air Traffic Control was required - and challenging. Being nervous, I often found myself asking for permission when I wanted to do something. I would say, "This is Cessna 67508 requesting permission to…" One da

Have you ever found yourself stalled? I had big plans a few years ago, and nothing was moving forward. When I said nothing, others didn't seem to get the memo that I was on a mission.  We've all been in situations where nobody will return your call. Your email gets ghosted. You can't seem to get support or commitment for your future world-saving plans. That's what happened to me and caused me to decide to create my momentum. I called it my "Momentum Freight Train."  My first use of my new mindset was to get my future wife to take our relationship more seriously. Everything was going great - but not fast enough for me. So, before our next date, I said to myself - "I'm not going to wait for permission. I'm going to build my life, no matter what. If she doesn't join me, I'll ride my momentum to someone who will." It's important to understand that creating your momentum is not negative thinking. On the contrary, people notice attractive energy - and she did. I was off and running with my commitment, and Joi and o

Have you noticed that airplanes fly crooked?  Heading to their destination, winds attempt to blow them off course. That’s why pilots turn their aircraft into the wind. They call it Wind Correction. The same thing happens when you set a Goal. While you prefer the straight path, you will likely run into winds that will blow you off course. Your spouse disagrees with your plans. Your boss demands more hours. Your kids, friends, and responsibilities keep blowing you further away from your dreams. It’s time to start thinking like a pilot setting a flight plan to a distant city with a Kristy Kreme donut store about to turn in the ‘Hot Donuts’ sign. Keep an eye on your final destination. Always set goals that factor in winds that will blow you off your course. Make minor corrections until you get where you’re heading. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

STOP Being Triggered Do you ever feel emotionally triggered and tossed off track for the entire day? You are an emotional person. When emotions keep you from logically navigating your day, problems begin. How do you control being triggered? 1) Identify what triggers a response you want or don’t want to experience.   2) Decide how you want to feel when triggered. Make a plan to respond. 3) The next time you are triggered, recognize what is happening and execute your plan. Identify. Decide. Respond.  The more you catch what emotionally triggers you, the more control will have over how you feel. That is true power.  -------------------- Visit our website - https://motivationtomove.com Join BOOST Coaching - https://motivationtomove.com Download the Perfect Week Planner - https://perfectweekplanner.com Schedule a 60-Minute Coaching Session - https://motivationtomove.com/60-minute-coaching/ Join our Facebook Group - https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook  Learn more about your ad choices.

Dealing With Any Crisis When I fly little planes, everything is about safety. When things go wrong, I have a simple rule: Fly the plane. Navigate the plane. Communicate with somebody who can help. The same applies to life. When things get challenging, most folks go directly to asking for advice.   What they get is - “Tell me what is happening in your life. Where are you? What’s going on?” If you don’t have control of the basics, it’s difficult for anybody to help. The next time life gets wild, keep flying your “Life Airplane,” and do your best to navigate the obstacles to a safe situation. In other words, keep control of what you have so you don’t lose it. Then reach out for help. -------------------- Visit our website - https://motivationtomove.com Join BOOST Coaching - https://motivationtomove.com Download the Perfect Week Planner - https://perfectweekplanner.com Schedule a 60-Minute Coaching Session - https://motivationtomove.com/60-minute-coaching/ Join our Facebook Group - https://dailyboostpodcast.com/f

Why You Should Act 16 Again Growing up sure can get in the way of your dreams. It’s sad how so many goals get pushed aside for daily responsibilities.   Think about this - When you were 16, the only freedoms you enjoyed were what your parents allowed. When you grow up, you have total freedom and complete control. If you could live today like you were 16, it might look like this - You would go to school and educate yourself. Your friends would be real friends. Not just people you met at the office. You would dream about your future. You would be excited about what was to come in life. You wouldn’t be allowed to drink. Your mind would be clear. You would embrace having fun for the fun of it. You couldn’t and wouldn’t get in debt. You would sleep—a lot. The job you have today would have felt like a prison. Does it? You would busy yourself all day with LIFE. You don’t have to be 16 again. But imagine how much fun you could have if you knew then…what you know now… and used it all today?  -------------------- Visit
