The Motivational Firewood® Podcast!

Saturday morning I saw a post in a Vision Board Community from a person new to the craft, with a very simple question. It is one I hear often...and it can also be one of the most damaging things you can do to yourself on your Personal Development journey. Are YOU doing it? If so, start learning a way that can better serve you, at MotivationalFirewood.com

***Are YOU making the BIGGEST Mistake When Setting Your Goals?*** Writing down the same ones every year, yet not achieving them? What do YOU think is the BIGGEST MISTAKE, and the reason you are not succeeding? Hint: I've done this one myself...until I learned where 'The Real Work' needs to begin. Build it better: MotivationalFirewood.com

Are you putting yourself in the best places, including on Social Media, to get the Best Results in your life? If you're sick of drama and negativity, are you removing yourself from places that are attracting it? Are you Honoring Yourself by making some space (in life and in business) from people who create that type of drama/energy? MotivationalFirewood.com

Wherever you are...YOU can make a difference.  You just need the right Attitude and must take Action. Also, please remember who inspired you to be this way!  P.S. This event happened today, thanks to the life-lessons shared with me by my grandfather.

No matter what you do in this world, someone’s not going to like it! Earlier this week, I saw TWO examples of people leveling negative feedback to people in their lives, who were just trying to put themselves out there. Face it, no matter what you do in the world, someone’s going to attack you for it, or at least not be supportive.  We have made a FREE Vision Board Masterclass available (along wit...

What are *you* grateful for each day?  Sometimes the little stuff is what can keep you going most.  Here's what happened after a friend called me with an unusual confession!  Want to learn how to grow your Gratitude Muscles as part of the the 'Big Picture' of your life?  Hope on my Calendar at https://SteveChats.com, and let's have a Conversation!

Are YOU putting in the work, every day, to keep your business going...and growing? Are you generating enough heat? Is your fire hot enough? Are you attracting the energy and support you need to grow? Keep shoveling, intelligently...and fire yourself up. want to learn how YOU can 'bring the heat' better than you are today? Visit MotivationalFirewood.com

Kids have 'wonder' about pretty much everything. And that's a cool gift to have. As adults, many of us have lost ours. Today's radio Show shares the story of a sidewalk lunch, several years ago, that painted this picture for me...in full-color. The 'Wonder' of wonder.  What could YOU be excited about, on your path today...and what amazing gift could you find in it?

One of our favorite topics is KINDNESS. Let it be random, private, public, solo or a whole bunch of people...but let it BE!I recently discovered an amazing movement called The Pay it Forward Effect and reached out to founder Dustin Metzler to learn more about what they are doing, their goal, and how YOU an be part of it all!

Every day, somewhere in the world, there are stadiums filled with people cheering on their favorite teams, singers and musicians, theater performances and more.   I’ve been there. The sound is thunderous.   In our everyday lives, at work, at home, when we're doing our best to juggle it all...the sound is not always thunderous. It can be disheartening sometimes. Who is cheering you on? Who are YOU...

This may be one of the toughest questions I’ve ever heard someone ask. We were in the second hour of one of my live Vision Board events, when attendees begin to search for pictures/visuals to represent the goals we’d been ‘digging to discover’ during the first hour. Some people know what they want. Some don’t. I could tell by this particular person’s face and body language that she was struggling...

There are many Vision Board trainings out there, and I am not here to bash any of them.    Do they all go into the depth of training that my Program (Vision Board Mastery) does?    From my own personal experience, no.    For those who prefer a simplified key to unlock the process of goal achievement through the assembly of a Vision Board, here it is:    1.&n...

Wherever you find yourself today, you can enjoy a positive conversation. One of the gifts I received from Dad is the ‘gift of gab’. He could find himself in just about any given situation and strike up a conversation. I am most honored to be in possession of that gift. It rears its chatty head often, sometimes with very funny results. Last Sunday, while on a grocery store recon mission, it happene...

Back in 2016, I had the great joy of sharing this conversation with 'Friends of Kevin' Radio Show host Kevin Willett. Here we discuss Vision Boards, how to get started, mistakes to watch out for, and the importance of digging for your WHY.

With so many (cough cough) 'reality' shows like The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, 90-Day Fiance and so many others which attempt to help people find 'real love'...it is harder than ever to know what is actually real.  How do regular people like us stand a chance when all of these perfectly-proportioned people are striking out? In this episode, I enjoy a great conversation with Elaine Saunders,...

Some of my favorite 'Givers' in the world are regular everyday people who, when challenged, come up with an amazing idea to help inspire and care for others. When college student Veronika Scott received an unusual assignment from her professor, the wheels started turning. In this interview, Empowerment Plan team member Cassie shares their incredible journey, how they are helping to make a differen...

You don't always have to be the FIRST to get somewhere...but if you plan to be enjoying the sunshine, you'd better be making some effort! That's the lesson of this episode, taught to me by a handful of turtles I see daily on my way to the recording studio.

Fishing through the pockets of my jeans on laundry, I was reminded of a 'moment' which made me smile. You can create them too. It's easier than you may believe.

I love meeting people. Let me make one quick correction: I love meeting *COOL* people, who love to share their talents and help others. Several months ago I got to meet Ryan and Franz...and knew I had to learn more about their mission through music. Enjoy!

When my friend Dawn was the victim of a crime, she could have chosen to be negative. What she did blew my mind...and serves as an important lesson for us all.

During a recent appearance on the Friends of Kevin Radio Show, Steve shared his views on Vision Boards, all the mistakes he's made with them...and how many of the gurus and celebrities who promote them are missing an important step.

This past weekend I got to hang out with my best friend...and create a pretty cool new memory that we'll be laughing about down the line. Real friend ROCK!  And sometimes, they rake.

As part of my path as a speaker and author, I get to meet some pretty cool people on the road. In December 2012, a very limited group of people got to travel to Scottsdale AZ to spend a day immersed in the wisdom and knowledge of Joe Calloway and Larry Winget. That's where I met Joel Boggess. It has been a joy to watch him take his career and run with it since then. This interview is a good, rich...

After seeing how some peoples' 'heroes' (cough cough) actually behave, I had to shake my head and wonder...have you actually SEEN the definition?
