The AJNashville Podcast

Its easy for us to create our own self talk or self doubt when we are in pursuit of something that we want to achieve. It is even easier to allow other people to talk us out of our own goals. In this podcast we talk about using what is right in front of you, doing the things others will not do, and accomplishing the goals you have set for yourself, while ignoring the noise. 

Time to start focusing on the things that are most important to you and your goals. When everything is a priority, nothing is a priority. 

The things we tell ourselves are more important than the things that other people say to us. Its easy to receive something that is said in the wrong way, if we tell ourselves it was meant differently. Self talk is an important part of self growth. This podcast covers just that. 

Understanding your metrics and how they produce results is imperative to accomplishing goals.

How often have you been in a situation where you have something challenging and you immediately turn to someone for help with out doing research yourself?

This podcast explores the different way we challenge ourselves and the ways to find better solutions. 

Is your attitude one that represents gratitude to the things we are able to experience on a day to day basis? This podcast touches on some of the things that we may take for granted on the day to day basis. 

You've heard every big name successful person say it, "I failed XX times before I finally got to where I am today" But what does that really mean? Does that mean that they consistently went down the same path the same way each and every time to reach their goal, or did the switch it up a bit? Did they seek mentorship in order to make the path a bit smoother, or did they lone wolf th...

A lot of us get caught up in the planning of what to do in order to accomplish the things we want to do. All we actually have to do is TAKE ACTION! This podcast covers that as well as an analogy that we discuss referred to as "the mole hole."

We all have felt it at some point in our lives, but what do we do with it? Do we distill it down to help us grow or do we let it pass with no lesson to be learned? Rejection in this podcast is viewed from a different standpoint then you are most likely used to hearing it in. 

A manager is someone who has a title, but not necessarily the qualities of leadership. On the other hand, you have people that are leaders without realizing it. Whether leading your team or guiding your child through life...be the best possible leader you can be! Lead by example and live as an inspirational figure to those around them! 

A lot of times we think of brands and what services they provide and who they cater to. We never stop and think of what they won't do or the non negotiables items that they have. 

Your mental space, its an inside job. Literally you control the way others make you feel. You allow people to take up the space in your metal room, what you allow is up to you. But you only have so much capacity to deal with. This podcast touches on that. 

How many have done this, you set an alarm, open your eyes and slap your phone until you hit that snooze button. What has been accomplished by doing this? Will you get more sleep? Will you feel more rested? Or have you just set back what it was that you set forth to do? What happens when we hit the snooze button on our daily goals in life? Does that set back the same progress? The answer is always...

Do you have what it takes to commit to what you are trying to accomplish? Like anything big, sacrifices must be made to achieve most goals. Sometimes the pain of the sacrifice is too much and people quit before they even attempt it. Isn't that what separates the people who achieve from the people who quit? So what is it, what are you willing to sacrifice to make sure you meet your goals? Ever...

Success can be measured in many ways. What we perceive as success may be of no value to the next person. What is success to you, how do you measure it and how will you achieve it?
