The 200% Life

Have you ever been afraid to grow because you’re worried an important relationship in your life like your marriage or partnership might fall apart? That question hits you in the gut, doesn't it? No one wants to lose their partner as their life changes. So it holds a lot of people back from going all-in on their growth. Here’s the thing though… the ego loves to think in all-or-nothing terms. It say...

What if I told you that productivity has nothing to do with how many hours you work or how many items you cross off your to-do list? And that it’s very possible to cross 20 items or 1 item off your to-do list and be equally productive? Here’s the thing that most people don’t realize… true productivity has less to do with the number of hours you work or the number of tasks you complete and much mor...

Many coaches and trainers will tell you to exercise, eat right, get enough sleep, have a morning routine, take certain supplements, etc. And while that’s all well and good, that’s really just working on your energy at a very, very basic level. Imagine taking the energy you feel on your best day (the one where you plow through your to-do list or you get some really amazing news) and then 10X that....

You know the moment… you’re working, having a great day, and then something shows up – an unwanted event that all of sudden you have to deal with. It doesn’t really matter if it’s small or large, you can feel your complete resistance to dealing with it. You actually physically feel it in your body as your energy gets pulled down. So what do you do? See full show notes...

Here’s a question many of us have probably grappled with at one point – is pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone always the best decision for you? For instance, we’ve all heard the phrase “No pain, no gain.” While in some circumstances that may inspire you to grow, in other circumstances you may completely resist it. See full show notes...

My days are scheduled down to the minute, which doesn’t leave much time for the “drive-by conversation.” That’s not my style anyway. I like purposeful and productive interaction. The quicker and more decisive, the better. So in our organization, we have 5 questions that our leaders ask their team members daily to help keep communication flowing in a fast-paced environment. As the CEO, I ask my lea...

Let’s be honest – there is a lot of uncertainty with the economy right now, and money is top of mind for most people. Now is the time to take a hard look at your finances and really think about whether you’re using money intentionally in every transaction you make or if you’re using money as a distraction and escape. There’s no judgement one way or the other, but either way, our relationship with...

Since most of us will never actually be chased by a tiger or placed in a hostage situation, it’s essential to understand the role that mind plays in activating your fears – especially in times like the current situation where there is a lot of fear being experienced on a global level.

I want to share with you a mantra I have used to help keep me centered when I’m experiencing stress or fear and that’s 3-2-1 Relax. The reason why I like this so much is that it disrupts your thinking pattern and it gets you out of fear. Fear is what makes you do irrational things and when you act out of fear, you can create a lot of unnecessary chaos and drama around you.  See full show note...

I remember when I lost one of my first jobs out of college, I cried. I’m not ashamed to admit it. At the time, it felt like my world was crashing down. But… and it’s a big but… that’s just how it felt. It wasn’t the reality of the situation. The reality was that losing my job was one experience unfolding in front of me and there were many more that would happen after it. See full show notes...

As a leader for your business, team and/or family, it’s essential...

Talented people are what make a business grow, but how do you find talented people? This is the question that so many organizations struggle with, and leaders often think the answer is to pour more money into hiring: take out ads, hire a recruiter, etc. Sure, these things can help, but if you’re not getting the right people in your world, spending more money isn’t going to be the answer.
