The Strategic Living Podcast with Brian Holmes

There is more to life than doing the same thing everyone else is doing, for the same reasons everyone else is doing them. Tune in to this powerful Monday Mastery episode where we talk about unlocking passions, finding purpose, and fulfilling big dreams. What you love to talk about, what you love to do, what you love to engage in, is your launching pad. Start there, and propel forward! Watch the vi...

Consider the possibility you are carrying an idea, a solution, or a life-changing message someone else is waiting to hear. While I won’t get into the science of how the mind works, I will tell you we tend to dial our truth and possibilities DOWN to the level of our internal belief structures. Today, I want to start at the beginning. I want to start with you! What is YOUR unique value in the world?...

New year, new chances, new possibilities, but what do you see happening in the upcoming weeks and months? After closing the door on our past (did you catch last week’s episode?), we need to start with a blank piece of a paper and a beginner’s mind. We need to start with the dreams and the ideas and without limitations or doubts. Tune in today to find out more! Watch the video or download and liste...

It’s a new year and a new beginning. A new opportunity awaits you! The status quo is no longer satisfying and the time to shift gears and engage your life’s potential is NOW! I’m alive and encouraged today. There’s something in the air. It feels like a fresh start. I’m glad to have you with us in 2018. Let’s see what the New Year holds for us! Feature Presentation: With a new beginning comes the o...

It’s officially a new calendar year, and traditionally that carries a lot of fresh possibilities. Listen in as we talk about new beginnings, what that means, and how to get started. Most of all, it begins with first closing a door on your past.

This is a special surprise (bonus) episode. I told you last week that we would not have another one until after the first of the year, BUT, I wanted to bring you a short word of encouragement as you round out 2017. I’m honored to have you with us. Let’s get started! Feature Presentation: Encouragement: Celebrate this year’s moments Take responsibility for yourself (Fess it and fix it) Resolve and...

Christmas day is a special one, and for more than the gifts under the tree or what we exchange, or what our traditions are each year. Listen in to this special edition message and from all of us at Brianholmes.com to you – have a very, merry Christmas.

It’s Christmas week all over the world. There is no better time than now to reflect, regroup, reset, and be renewed. On this episode especially, I want us to consider the blessing of Christmas, what it really means, and look to a wonderful, hope-filled future. It’s not about gifts, toys, vacations, or gadgets. Both Christmas and the future ahead are about the ultimate gift the world has ever been...

As another year draws to a close, we may be beating ourselves up for all we set out to do and never accomplished. If your attitude is right, however, and you’ve got worthwhile ideas to pursue, you’re not out of the running yet! Listen in today for more ideas on how to finish the year strong and set your sights on next year being your best year ever!

It’s that time of the year. We’re all thinking about how we can do better, achieve more, grow our business, and expand our impact in a new year. Obviously, there are many things one can do to accomplish their goals and objectives. On today’s program, I want to discuss one such strategy that has proven to be priceless in my own journey. What about you? Are you interested in learning how you can 10X...

Ask yourself these important, pointed questions to determine if what you’re pursuing is worth your time, energy, and resources. These five questions have helped me gauge the important pursuits and table the fluff, and I know they’ll help you discover what your next best strategy will be. Tune in today and find out more about the litmus test you need to keep in mind.

My guest today is someone that shares my passion for helping people discover their purpose, develop their message, and launch them into a meaningful expression of serving others. This marks our 300th episode and I wanted to use this opportunity to share something that will apply to many of you. I have invited Dr. Michael Hudson back on the program with us. (He was on Episode # 135 .)  I love bring...

Even if what you’re agreeing to is a great opportunity, the fact remains when you say yes to one thing, you’re saying no to one (or many) other thing(s). Is this something you should be aware of? Does it matter? How can you discern from the things you should be involved with versus things you should pass by? Tune in today to find out more!

There are people in this world who, frankly, do not have reasonable values, morals, or lifestyles, yet they succeed, prosper, and impact their environment with tremendous effectiveness. How does this happen? Simple. There are laws at work which transcend my opinion or stance on certain things. If a person abides by certain principles and executes on those principles and laws, they will reap the re...

Dreaming versus doing goes well beyond a motivational call to action – it’s a MUST if we are ever going to live the lives we plan to. Your creativity, your capacity, and your talents all come in to play if – and only if – you put them to work to make your dream a reality. Once you do this, watch the results and the rewards begin to roll in. Listen in as I unpack this more today.

There are few things in life that will make a greater difference or affect change like thanksgiving and gratitude. If you want to change a relationship, a conversation, an atmosphere or environment, or even your own outlook on a situation, express love and gratitude! It’s Thanksgiving here, and today, I want to challenge you to shift your life and your leadership. Ready to see what I mean? Thanksg...

Sharing a few nuggets of wisdom (from experience) during this special week, and special edition of our Monday Mastery. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

So many people find themselves stuck, disillusioned, unmotivated, and prematurely giving up on their dreams. Why is this? Think about this before we answer that: do you measure your success against the progress you’ve made, or against the perfect ideal you have in mind for it to eventually be? Your answer could be your hurdle. It is all about staying out of the GAP! That’s what we’re talking about...

You’ve heard it said “practice makes perfect”, but is that only true in the world of entertainment? Let’s take a look at how rehearsing our vision and giving performance life to the dreams we hold may be the one step we’ve been missing in connecting to our future. Tune in today and find out more about what it really means to rehearse in preparation for your big break.

We’re continuing our discussion on The Lens of Grace with my dear friend, Scott Prickett. He’s back in the studio this week as we close out our second part of this two-part interview. I am so grateful to have Scott in the studio for this timely and powerful topic of discussion. We are talking about his newest book, and how you can begin seeing life through the lens of grace. I’m honored to have yo...

In last week’s Monday Mastery, we discussed the importance of writing down your goals. This critical practice, however, cannot stop there. In order for us to seal our commitment to our dreams, we must also – daily – read and review them. Consistently reminding ourselves of our possibility and potential consistently pushes us to make it happen. By reviewing our goals (morning and night) and making...

How do you see yourself? How you see YOU is a really big deal. How you view others in your life determines the quality of relationships and outcomes you have. Today, I am incredibly excited to introduce you to one of my closest friends: Scott Prickett. We are talking about his newest book, and how you can begin seeing life through the lens of grace. I’m honored to have you with us – now let’s get...

Write the vision and make it plain… Do those words sound familiar? Even in today’s digital age, there is tremendous and effective power in physically writing down our dreams, visions, goals, and ideas. The power of writing it down is so often untapped, and today I’m going to explain the importance of taking that extra step. Put your ideas and goals on paper, and see how it transforms the process o...

Are you comfortable? If your answer was yes, I want you to pay close attention to the program today. We’re going to challenge you to really look at your life, potential, and progress. There is no doubt life deals circumstances and situations we did not ask for or deserve. If you’ve lived any length of time, you’ve no doubt experienced one or more things that set you back, brought you great pain, o...

Whether you’re reading books, newspapers, or magazines, watching television or videos, or listening to radio or other programs, what you’re taking in is going to set the gravitational pull to which you develop a mindset and focus in. Take control of your focus, take control of your attitude and your thought process, and start steering yourself toward the positively possible. Tune in today to find...
