Ninja Jill KNOWS

I share an important lesson that was brought to my attention a couple of weeks ago in this episode. It stemmed from a conversation that I had with my red-headed 11 year old beauty. The lesson was an important one to teach her but it was also important for me to hear and take to heart as well.  We all have dreams. We reach some of them and others we let slip away. Not because we don't want them any...

In this episode, I share a conversation I had with one of my best friends. When she told me what happened, I got goosebumps and knew I had to share it with you because it will directly impact how quickly you create the life you desire most! This will change how you do things, why you do things and the outcomes that you will achieve.  Listen in to find out what we talked about and why it's so impor...

  This is all the time you need to begin.  We all have 15 minutes in our day to dedicate to that dream, desire or goal. In this new episode of the podcast, I share my story of how 15 minutes a day turned into my book When the Meaning is Lost  (available on Amazon).  When you begin with just 15 minutes each day to do the thing that fulfills your purpose,it creates a wave of impact. Your energy incr...

The moment that you ACCEPT what is happening, what you are going through, whatever the situation you find yourself in there is something that changes for you.  When I say that you have to accept it, realize that I don't mean that you have to like it, you just have to accept that this is your reality right now.  And when you allow yourself to do this, you are able to begin to move forward, you are...

This is where dreams go to die... When you are so focused on the thing that you can't have right now (doesn't matter what the reason is...timing, money, skill), but all you do is obsess over it, you are losing personal energy and losing ground. You don't take action towards it, the story of why you can't have it consumes you, drains you and ultimately stops you from doing anything to move towards...

You need to know... You need to know when your attitude is bad. You have to be self aware enough to be objective about where you are at. You need to be able to step back and see what happened to create it (not just the incident but what you were doing prior to it) and you need to be able to have enough perspective on the situation to choose what is next.  When you can acknowledge that your attitud...

What you say is great but what you do about it is what truly matters.  Share you dreams and goals but make sure you back that up with how you are choosing to live daily.  You will impact more lives by how you live and what you do than what you say. They are watching and they are impacted by what you are doing. Are you doing enough to go after your dreams, desires and goals and fulfill the call of...

  What we focus on most expands.  And when we figure this out and change what we are thinking (and doing), then what is happening in your life begins to change as well.  In this episode, I talk about those days where everything seems to be going wrong, those days when all you can focus on is the negative stuff and those days when that crap pile seems to grow by the minute. And most importantly, I...

In this episode, I share a story about something that happened this summer when I knew better. I knew what I wanted, I knew what I needed and I ignored it.  Now, this wasn't a really big deal but it was a wakeup call for me to remember that I need to choose for me. I know what I need and I need to do me. It doesn't matter if anyone else agrees with it, you know you, so be you.  Listen in for the s...

In this episode, I jump right into what you can do to feel and be more confident. I share a story about a question that I asked in my private Facebook Life MAKERS. The question focused around what is holding you back the most in your life.  One of the most popular answers was...I don't feel confident.  Well, it's time to change that. Listen in to find out how taking action creates the momentum nee...

In this episode, I share a story that really made me realize how much those around you are watching what you are doing, picking up on your energy and emulating it in their own lives.  While this may feel like pressure to some, use it as motivation. Realize that when you are creating what you want most, when you are willing to step outside your comfort zone and go after that dream, desire and goal...

Do you have what it takes to finish? OR Do you quit right near the end of the project because you are out of energy, the final details are painful to complete or you just aren't enjoying the process anymore so you stop?  A lot of us stop. We have all stopped at some point.  I am sure that you have projects in your home or in your work that aren't quite finished. They are maybe 90 percent complete...

I am a firm believer that if you can dream, you can do it.  That said, there is one catch as to whether or you not you will be able to achieve it. I share what that is in podcast so you will have to listen in to hear about it so that you can avoid it.  If you feel called to do something, you should do it. If you have a clear vision in your mind of what you want next in your life, start taking acti...

The state of your home reflects the state of your life.  Your home is a direct reflection of your life. If it is cluttered, your life is likely too full and the demand on you will always be exceeding your capacity. If it is low energy, there won't be many new things coming into your life. If it is chaotic, guess what...your life is likely pretty chaotic and crazy.  How do you change the energy in...

Where are you holding back in your life? Dive into this episode of the podcast to see why sharing everything you've got and showing up with your whole being in each interaction in your day is so key to living a fulfilling life.  It will change your relationships.  It will change the impact you have on those around you.  It will increase the success in your work.  It will increase your confidence....

How much of your day are you spending doing the stuff that lights you up, excites you and makes you feel accomplished?  If your answer is "not much" or "I want to do more", listen in to this episode of Ninja Jill KNOWS.  There are so many reasons to do things that make you feel good and that excite you (that light you up) and the most important reason is the impact that you create energetically wh...

In this episode, I share a chapter from my book "When the Meaning is Lost". This chapter is all about finding your way through a difficult experience or loss in your life. I talk about the hope and faith and trust that you must have. We dive into how grief is amplified by focusing on the future and what could have been. And I share one of the most important things that moved me through the loss of...

THIS IS IT...this is the key to it all.  That and doing the work (of course).  If you don't believe you can do it, you won't.  If you do, you have a much better chance at achieving what it is you truly want.  Believing you can will get you through the tough times, the times you want to quit and the times that make you question who you are and why you wanted this in the first place.  You have to be...

Sometimes, you have to take your routine, the way you've always done things and how you are living and SWITCH IT UP.  I am a lover of rhythm and routine and I truly believe that is how we achieve more of what we want in our live and maximize our time, our energy and our effort.  That said, if you are in a lull, if you just can't seem to make it or happen or if you are feeling bored, it's time to m...

It's not always going to be clear. The way, the next few steps or what is best. It's important that you know where you want to end up. You need to know your big goals, dreams and desires for your work and business, for health and well-being, for your relationships and family and for personal development and you should definitely write them down. But inevitably along the way towards your goals, you...

So, you've figured out your purpose. You know what you want next in your life. You are sure about your direction. It feels amazing.  And then, you hit the first road block, it starts getting hard, there a few set backs happen and you begin to question if this is the right direction you should be headed in.  Aren't we told that once you know your purpose and are working towards it, it will all be e...

You have to remember that it does get better whenever you are trying something new, taking a different action or choosing to make a shift in your life. This could be anything from a new job, a new product or service or marketing approach for your business, a new fitness regime or a different eating pattern. Your mind will fight you on the change no matter how much you want it.  You will want to qu...

You do it because you have to. You do it because it's the way it has always been done. You do it because they expect you too. This feels like your duty. Where is DUTY getting in the way of you doing what you truly want in your life? Where is DUTY to the tasks, the people and the job getting in the way of you enjoying your journey? Listen in to find out how to not let "duty" get in the way of you c...

Knowing what you want matters. Having dreams, desires and goals matter. You should have a clear vision of what you want a year from now and even how your life will look 3-5 years from now.  But, having a clear vision isn't enough.  Your future relies on what you do today.  The choices you make and the ones you don't make TODAY create your future.  So, are you delaying taking action towards your dr...

Are you running towards it or away from it? In this episode, I share all of the signs and things you may be (or may not be) doing that are actually causing you to run away from your dreams, desires and goals and living the life that you truly want.  It's easier to run away than run towards something but as Steven Pressfield in The War of Art (one of my favorite books) points out...the resistance y...
