The Success Lift Podcast

"Don't be upset by the results you didn't get with the work you didn't do."  This quote by motivational speaker Eric Thomas summarizes pretty well today's episode. Brian talks about this idea of going all in and committing to your goals in every way possible. Your results are a direct consequence of the work you put in and this applies to all areas of life including work, relationships and marriag...

Building a solid relationship can be a challenging process. Different marriages have different dynamics and every couple is unique, but one thing remains fundamental for all types of partnerships to work: dialogue. Talking with the partner, opening up about what's on the mind and the heart, and expressing your feelings without being selfish is truly the key to making the relationship functional. A...

When we have a busy routine and/or a sedentary job that requires us to sit all day long, that will impact our body and overall health in a significant way. Our bodies were made to move (that's why exercising is so important) but our work sometimes prevents us from doing that. Luckily, there are hacks and tools we can implement in our daily lives to optimize our body, move more, and help us feel be...

Marriage is a game of investment. Both sides need to invest in the solution as much as their own feelings and issues. That's why nobody disagrees that the key to a healthy and sustainable relationship is dialogue, and commiting to finding the solutions is the key to coming to an agreement, whatever the problem might be. But what if the crisis is a physical one? In this episode of The Success Lift...

Changes and transitions can be difficult to go through. A career transition has even more things to consider: your financial condition, your family, people who depend on you, lifestyle changes… All of that can be factors that go into making a decision, but the only capable person to evaluate your whole situation is you. If you are lacking courage and inspiration, why not learn from someone who has...

The way we talk to ourselves and to other people around us says a lot about our personality. The curious thing is: oftentimes we find it very difficult to change our actions, to improve our mindset, and to be better people precisely because of the language we use. How many times has something challenging happened to you and you immediately used the word  "victim"  to describe yourself? Words have...

Movement is part of our lives since the day we are born, but one important thing to consider throughout our path is that movement should continue to be part of our lives, and this is something most people – especially those with busy schedules – don't do, which is ok. The first step to start changing this reality and start moving more is really just being aware of small activities we can implement...

When we think fitness we think hard workouts, strict diets, and tons of exercising each and every day, right? That is the most common idea of what the word fitness  represents, but it's not the reflection of reality. When you focus on habit changing, lifestyle, and moderation combined with sustainability, the results that you so much want to achieve will unfold right in front of you, effortlessly...

New Year goals exist for a reason. We want to be better people, get in shape, get a new job, have more income, stop smoking, whatever the case might be. These goals are all valid and important because they make us grow as a human being, but all of them have one thing in common: they can start being pursued today.  In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian shares a message about goals and...

Your identity is made from a collection of things: your everyday behavior and how you show up to other people and the world; the actions you reproduce in order to achieve your goals; and the thoughts you have when you think about yourself and your self-worth. It seems easy – and it is – to follow this identity for the rest of life, because changing is very hard, but what if you WANT to change it?...

The way you see yourself is the same way other people see you. When we talk about self development and the concept of "be better", a great part of it is to identify how we talk to ourselves, which thoughts we are feeding, and which habits we are reproducing, because all of that reflects on the environment. The key idea here is: Be who you are supposed to be in order to be treated like you are supp...

New Year's resolutions are the foundation of what we want to accomplish in this new cycle of life. The majority of people set up new goals, plans, and changes that need to be started someday… so they choose January 1st to actually go for it.
