Start Your Transformation Now I know you’ve probably never thought of it in these terms, but simply by virtue of being a human, you have amazing power!  Now the question is, given the title of this episode, how much of your power do you give away? Most people, in an effort to please others and to be liked, give away a huge amount of their power and don’t even realize they are doing it. And, what h...

Start Your Transformation Now I take a couple of different angles in this episode. Specifically, I talk about the socially learned human limitations we are taught, the handicap of qualifying life and that “living up to your potential” is not about potential, it’s about your subconscious identity. It’s hard for most of us to grasp but 99% of our limitations are learned. This takes me back to a stor...

Start Your Transformation Now What does this mean?  I first heard this phrase from Eliphas Levi, and 1880s an occultist. I heard it years ago and I incorporated it into my thinking many years ago. It changed my life and it will change yours too. (If you chose to live your life by it.)  So, if you’re like most people you may be wondering what it really means? It’s pretty simple.  We all have a life...

Start Your Transformation Now This is huge for a lot of people, and truth be told, for many years I didn’t trust myself either. That is, until I recognized that I’m going to share with you in this episode.  As you’ll hear in this episode, “trusting yourself” is such a generic way to look at ourselves. It’s generally never about trusting ourselves it’s more about trusting our ability to create a de...

Start Your Transformation Now In this segment I interview Chelsea, a former student, and she shares how she’s dramatically changed her life in the past year. It’s almost impossible to title or classify this episode because we talked about so much and the major themes are Gratitude, Control, Issues and Choice. I picked this interview because it’s a simple yet power sharing and most of us can relate...

Start Your Transformation Now I’m sharing an exclusive sneak peek of Part 1 of my BE-DO-HAVE training series. In this clip of the training, you’ll hear how your identity drives everything you do, how your identity is formed from a very young age, and most importantly, how your brain is working to keep you stuck in your old ways. During the 3 Part BE-DO-HAVE training series, you’re going to start l...

Start Your Transformation Now Nic was a recent student of mine and we visit about his transformational path and how much he has changed in the last six months and how you can too.  This episode is near impossible to title as we talked about so much. The primary things we talked about are: subconscious values, self-talk, subconscious habits and choice. And, a whole lot more but this gives you an id...

Start Your Transformation Now As you read the headline you probably thought, “What…what the heck is intrinsic ratitude?” Right? Totally understandable and “ratitude” is my word for ‘radical gratitude’ and intrinsic is what’s deep inside of you and inherent to your BEing. When I say intrinsic to your being, I mean things like your ability to see, smell, taste, feel, and even your ability for your h...

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode, I continue what I started in the last one and I quickly address FATA, some causes, and how to live a better life without them. For the most part, most people are living their daily lives full of any or all of these to some degree and they can be deadly to our health. Medical research has shown that around 90% of all illness is stress-related and stres...

Start Your Transformation Now You’re probably wondering what FATA is, right? It’s an acronym I just made up and it stands for Fear, Anxiety, Tension, and Anger. When you really think about it, we humans bathe ourselves in these emotions and most of us take this bath for life…and then we wonder why we’re not getting what we want in life. When we look into it we can all agree that these emotions and...

Start Your Transformation Now Life And Death, whoa, what a huge concept to tackle in an episode. This episode doesn’t tackle it, but I definitely want to talk about it and get you to thinking about how you experience the concepts. How much thought have you really put into your own life and death? And, as I ask that question, if you’re like most people you have very simplistic definitions of those...

Start Your Transformation Now Ever wondered why you’re not getting the results you want in the gym, in your business and perhaps all the areas of your life? There could be many reasons but a huge reason is talked about in this episode, self-integrity. Are you being 100% integral with your word to yourself relative to your desired outcomes? Do you eat the way you say you’ll eat? Do you go to the gy...

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode we look at your identity and why you do what you do. You’ll learn that it doesn’t matter what you think you want and it doesn’t matter what you do because you only create in life what you are. Your identity is created from experiences in your life, then you create an interpretation from those experiences and then you tell yourself a story about it for...

Start Your Transformation Now Trying to control your life? Control others? Getting into control in general? HINT: You have NO control, even if you think you do. Like it or not, your brain does all the “controlling” for you and that’s not a matter of opinion, it’s scientifically proven. Stop fighting life and stop trying to control life, it’s a waste of time and energy. In this episode I discuss: [...

Start Your Transformation Now If you’re like most people you go through your days never having enough time, always playing “catch up” and wondering what you can do differently to get things done, right? If this is you, then you’re going to love this podcast episode because getting everything done that you need to is not about managing your time, it’s about prioritizing your commitments and values....

Start Your Transformation Now Despite what you think, you’re not in control of anything. It’s the greatest illusion that most of us get into and it’s toxic to so many areas of life. In this episode I talk about: How control issues destroy self, relationships, families and even businesses I often see it: [2:46] Regarding self – mentally exhaust people and create frustration [9:48] Regarding familie...

Start Your Transformation Now How often you wondered why things are not coming to you as easily in life as they seem to come to others? Probably almost everyone reading this can relate in some way. Right? You’re working away, you’re helping others but things just don’t open up. The flood gates never open wide. There are a few reasons for this but a vital reason is where you’re holding your energy...

Start Your Transformation Now This is a very special episode because it is the first time that I have a guest on the podcast. Today’s guest is Mr. James Wedmore, who is a very very good friend and he’s here because our relationship perfectly reflects the topic of today’s episode – AYNI. AYNI is an ancient Incan word for the concept of reciprocity of life. James and I play a huge role in each other...

Start Your Transformation Now Have you ever asked yourself why you’re on this planet? I don’t mean “what is your purpose while you’re on the planet,” but the bigger question is…why on this planet? I attempt in this episode to get you to start thinking from a much higher perspective about the nature of your existence here on Earth. Most people search for a lifetime looking for their “purpose,” and...

Start Your Transformation Now If you don’t have what you want in life and you’re not where you want to be it’s because you’re not taking ownership of your life. What is “ownership”? It’s the act, state, or right of possessing something. YOU OWN YOUR LIFE! You own the power to heal, the power to create, the power to manifest, the power to attract, the power to reflectively think and the power to cr...

Start Your Transformation Now This episode is a rerun of an earlier episode with a new introduction explaining why I’m running this particular episode again. If someone asked me of all the episodes which I’d chosen to master at the deepest level of my being, it would be what’s in this episode. In this episode, you’re not going to get some “rah rah” motivational advice to perform at your highest. I...

Start Your Transformation Now This is a powerful episode when you finally get the gravity of the title – You speak your life into existence. Everything you have or don’t have in your life, you have either spoken it into your life or out of your life. Fully consider that. You may have heard the old phrase, “You live and die by your word?” Well, you also create and manifest or repel by your word. Wo...

Start Your Transformation Now If you’ve read all the books, been to all the seminars, followed all the gurus and you still don’t have what you want in life it’s because you’ve not learned to master your attention – it’s the Master Key in life. The definition of ATTENTION IS: the act or state of applying the mind to something. Attention filters into every single aspect of your life: Health, money,...
