The AJNashville Podcast

We far too often find ourselves selling our environment and never creating a value piece for our clients or customers. But what happens when your environment changes and your product does not, then why will people continue to do business with you? This podcast covers your value and your why. Things that as people we need to be very aware of. Do your values change with your surroundings , providing...

How do we survive in today's economy? How do we maintain a sense of trust in the government with what is taking place currently for the people ? The fed continues to increase the fed rate in ways that are hurting the people more than it is helping the economy as a whole. They try to compensate for previous actions they made when access to money for the average consumer was made easy in past y...

Let's talk about evaluating the amount of effort we actually put in to accomplishing the things we need to do. Is it just enough to feel like we've met our goal, or did we decide to just change our goals to meet the amount of effort we want to give at the time? Did we really give it our best efforts in ways we are truly proud of? Have we overcome our fear of failures by simply being eage...

When is the last time you were fully honest with yourself ? How much have you suffered from lying to yourself ? Why do you think time stops for you to make excuses for your own actions ? You should be living your life in ways you are truly proud of knowing you spent your time wisely. Do things for the people you love and for your own personal growth rather than for the accolades of others that don...

Not everyone is going to like you and your ideas. Not everyone you meet is going to be someone you want to spend your time and energy on. People are going to lie to you in order to attract you. You have to be able to discern who is true to you and who deserves your authenticity in return . There are 8 billion people in this world and you aren't going to agree with all of them. You are going t...

Success is something we each have to define for ourselves . We have to be able to break free from the ideals and boundaries that society deems most important. We have to be the ones to make the choices that will bring us personal joy and satisfaction. If we allow everyone else to tell us how to achieve happiness their way , how could we possibly know it for ourselves based on our own unique needs...

Knowing when we are naturally most active as unique individuals helps to ensure that we can maximize the time we do spend each day in a mode of high-quality productivity . We all have times we find ourselves working more efficiently and able to commit to doing the tasks that need done no matter the environmental factors at play. Building routines around these times that we can easily fall into wit...

Our minds are the most powerful things out there, and that can be dangerous for anyone. The important part is that we can control what we give to our minds in order for our thoughts to either flow freely or dry up . Our struggles are most often born internally , and instead of dealing with these problems while they're still contained within our brains , we think we know best and choose to ign...

Everything somebody has already done, can be duplicated and done better by anyone who is willing to fail first. Then, they must improve by learning from those lessons for positive momentum to happen. Change has to be embraced in order to progress in our lives and continue to grow , rather than just slowing down to die . Trying is the first step anyone has to take to make any of it happen. Many tim...

First, you have to process and analyze your problem . Next, you have to evaluate whether you are making excuses (valid or otherwise) for why you feel as if you are failing. Follow up with a willingness to change your habits to create the results you desire. You have to identify and adjust the effort you give to bring about this reality you choose to grow to. You can approach change with many diffe...

Everybody has to do it sometime, it's just inevitable. Failure happens not when we don't succeed at something we wanted to do, but rather when we no longer learn lessons from our actions in order to change and grow for better. Failure is when we fall into the unrealistic trap of insanity , repeating the same mistakes yet expecting different results. Life is here to teach you lessons. The...

What is set in your mind based on your current level and maturity in your life? Can you identify some changes you can make today in your formula to elevate yourself to your next desired level that you want to see come to fruition in the near future? While it isn't ideal to dwell on what you don't want (rather, you should focus on and surround yourself with what you DO want), you can use...

Are you too busy you can't seem to accomplish all the tasks you need to do for the day? …month? …hour? Or do you just have a scheduling problem with your own time? Have you been lying to yourself about how you allocate your attention? Is your business suffering from your poor personal habits and ignorance , no matter how blissful it may be? If you have the ability to delegate certain tasks ou...

You don't owe anybody shit. You don't have to feel obligated to apologize or explain yourself to others. You don't need to validate your existence to people around you. You aren't liable to provide to them any reasoning they may be seeking for themselves... You do owe your loved ones the respect you would like shown to you though. You should want to fulfill a common courtesy be...

We should surround ourselves with a protective circle of people that we can help elevate and grow with consistently. If they truly have our backs, they would hold themselves accountable and take responsibility for their own actions and errors . Loyalty isn't born when something can only be gained from the relationship. Trust is earned when we can't produce a tangible value, but when we a...

We are always worrying about what others think of us so much that we let their judgments govern our lives and actions. We allow them to determine our success over our own drive and determination. We think we need to appease other people to arrive at our desired destinations more than we realize we need to feed our own mindset with positive thoughts of our own success, especially by first knowing h...

Your VALUE starts with your SELF worth. If you want others to value and respect you, you must first know and appreciate yourself. If you think you can't, remind yourself of who you are today and how far accomplished you are from a time when you thought your present self wasn't even possible. Everything is temporary, and every problem you may have, will eventually go away. Are you like th...

What are some of your limiting beliefs that keep you rooted even when you want to grow and move from the place you've been planted? The truth is, people don't care about what people think about most of the things that they do. We create our own barriers before we even get there, then get emotional when we never arrive. We have to envision the outcome we do want in order to obtain it with...

The world is like hiking a mountain. There are people who are hikers, who continue to move through levels of the mountain. Then there's the people who are trees, who have found genuine happiness within the level they are currently on. The world needs both, and your choice of actions decide which one you are, inexcusably. When you commit to pursuing something, commit all the way! The world is...

We often spend too much of this, allowing others to bankrupt us of one of the most valuable assets that we have. We spend years recklessly giving it to everyone and anyone that wants it, only to one day regret that we didn't have more of it. We have no idea how much we have, or how much we don't. In this episode, I cover my thoughts on the most important asset we have... TIME. Ask yourse...
