Igniting Souls Podcast with Kary Oberbrunner

I had a friend who was at a party with a Lexus dealer and instead of explaining the benefits of the car, he let him test drive it for the weekend. He gave my friend the actual experience. Consider how you can give people the actual experience in your coaching business because very few people have experienced coaching and may have some other ideas about what coaching actually is.

Switch tasking drops your IQ worse than being stoned when you do two cognitive things at the same time. It's much better if you work on writing your book for 30 minutes with the TV off than to write for five hours with the TV on.

“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.” - L.P. J...

Some of us are actually scared of success and actually self sabotage. I believe your pain is supposed to be your platform. God often has to bring us to a desert. Do not despise the desert. Instead, look for the lesson.

Let's look at all the blessings and gifts we have on this Christmas Day. If we're not careful we take stock and inventory on all the gifts we have not received. But don't forget about the gift of health, food to eat and the fact that God loves you. You have a purpose. You have the present. Find something to be grateful for today. 

How many of you as kids have said, "abracadabra"? It means "I create as I speak." What if you are actually designed to speak and accomplish all at the same time? You can! I believe we are actually designed to be people that speak and accomplish all in one. Find out more at https://www.elixirprojectbook.com

When you compare yourself to other people, you leave your own life and disassociate. Depression is on the rise even though we're the most socially connected people on the planet. Remember that you are not taking action when you're disconnecting.

So many people I know are scared to say yes. We put so many conditions on saying yes. Yesterday, I had an idea that I know resonates with my opus so I was able to make the decision to go with it immediately. My opus is my filter. When you prepare for the moment, the moment is prepared for you. Be able to say yes and say yes quickly but only after you've done the deep work of authoring your opus. T...

Facebook is de-emphasizing pages and emphasizing groups. But be careful of certain Facebook Groups. Many times it's the blind leading the blind. A lot of people don't have their own success model so they blend a bunch of other people's models.  Before you listen to someone else, look at their life. Are they getting results? Choose the limited voices you want to listen to carefully in 2020.

A lot of people have been asking about Author Wizards. It's a push-button easy solution to help you write, edit, publish and market your book. Somebody asked us to prove it. So here you go. Find out more at http://authorwizards.com/go .

Dan Sullivan teaches a concept — who, not how. When I learned that, it made me realize there were things we were doing that were robbing our business. Why? Because we think there is no one else who can do those things. As a result, we settle for average. It's not dumping. It's not delegating. It's finding someone who has that thing as their super power. It's addicting.

One of the things people need is novelty. My friend Dan Sullivan says that when people think they've seen or done something before, they're done. We as humans like variety. We're going to mix up The Daily Show in 2020. Check it out as we grow. I'm excited to have you on the journey with me. What new things are you doing in 2020? Be sure to join us for the Igniting Souls Conference 2020 at https://...

When people first start out as an entrepreneur, they think they have to be on every platform. Instead, zone in on a few and be all there. To find out the tools we use, go to https://www.karyoberbrunner.com/tools .

Never count on someone who doesn't count on themselves. Like the last play of a football game, the quarterback has to find their receiver in the end zone if you want to win the game. In business, people often can't trust others in order to win. You earn trust based upon your choices. Be somebody others can count on — that you can count on. Admit your integrity gaps and close them. For more on this...

The other day my brother-in-law asked me to go throw axes with him. I invited my 14-year-old son to go with us. He wasn't very excited about it because he was afraid he wouldn't be any good at it.  As adults we often don't want to try new things because we might look foolish. We judge ourselves. I challenge you to step outside your comfort zone. Write that book. Start that business.  For more on h...

Some people say they are a jack of all trades and a master of none. My friend Dan Sullivan talks about finding your unique ability. I've been thinking a lot in the last 12 months about the one thing I do well. I ignite people and projects to action through clarity, creativity and collaboration. What about you? You cannot be great and be successful until you discover your unique ability. What is yo...

Don't ever choose a lift that does not require courage. Comfort and courage cannot co-exist. A life of comfort is boring. Create and embrace a life of courage. One way to do this is by joining us at Igniting Souls Conference - https://www.ignitingsoulsconference.com

It's the gift giving season. Have you ever gotten a gift as a kid and it didn't have the batteries in it? Some people are born with batteries included (inspiration, motivation) and some aren't. If you need someone else to motivate you, you will not be very successful. The good news is there is something that motivates you.

Tina Morlock, who just published her first novel, Where the Bad Seeds Grow, shares how to go pro as a writer. She says her story of ghostwriting, editing and writing.

They'll be meeting on a quarterly basis — and they're free! We have over 50 chapters in place already. My gift to you today is a free ticket to The Big Reveal on December 10th so you can get all the det...

An evening routine is just as important as a morning routine. I used to get up multiple times a night to work, eat, follow ideas, etc. until I finally figured it out. Here are a few things I've learned: • No screens if I get up in the night. My phone stays in a different room. • If I can't sleep, I pray. • No eating in the middle of the night. I usually don't eat after dinner. • Melatonin helps a...

I've recently been reading the 12 Week Year by Brian Moran. He says accountability is not something you can hold. It is an opportunity to blame shift and hold someone else responsible. Magic happens when groups of people get together and hold THEMSELVES accountable. We live in a world with no rewards, no consequences and nothing getsdone.
