You can achieve your SMART goals but still, epically fail in life.

Technically speaking I was on track to CRUSH my S.M.A.R.T goals. But I was epically failing at life. My idea of a balanced diet was choosing a different fast food location for lunch and dinner. Eventually, I became a shell of my former self basking in the “glory” of burning the candle at both ends.

You can’t Google the answer to the question you don’t know you should be asking?

A great coach helps you create the perfect recipe for success with ingredients relevant to you and your flavor of success. A coach can act like your personal Google for success & fulfillment.

Is your game plan living in your head?

Name ONE successful coach who took their team to a championship with only a mental game plan? Of course not… they have playbooks and more playbooks.

Your past does NOT define you. It only provides a few chapters of the story… and a few unique & interesting ingredients that lead to a richer life.

Do you know your superpowers? The concept of superpowers revolves around identifying and leveraging the ESSENCE of who you are at your best. Your uniqueness. For me taking StrengthsFinders was the first time I had thought about personal success outside of achieving tasks at work.

How much does fear weigh? Fear is tricky because you can’t directly see it. You can’t take the fear and weigh it on a traditional scale, but you can certainly feel it…

Goals are important but not enough. You must identify the hidden weight that is keeping you down. I believe fear is a hidden epidemic, robbing people of achieving their full potential.

Stop feeding the lie of time depravity. If it’s important… TRULY IMPORTANT … you will find the time.

You have 15 minutes to meditate.

You have 15 minutes to be present with your kiddos.

You have 15 minutes to …

How you complete the phrase “I am …..” is POWERFUL!

In what feels like a past life, I smoked an average of 1-2 packs of cigarettes a day for about a decade. I am a smoker was an identity statement that resonated. Smoking was a part of who I was. Over this period I made several attempts to quit. “I’m trying to quit” was a common phrase…

“take for granted”

“take for granted” >> Fail to properly appreciate (someone or something), especially as a result of overfamiliarity (From Oxford Languages).

Recently I’ve been reminded that facts/truths I believe to be universal truths are skewed by my background, experiences, and passions.

What Gravitational Forces Are in Your Life? The essence of this question requires you to create an inventory of habits and thoughts with a major influence on your life. Positive or negative… oh … brutal honesty is required and a healthy portion of focus is required to move forward!

What if you made the CHOICE to be fully present today?What would that mean to

... your employees?

... to your co-workers?

... to your spouse?

... your kids?

What is your wake of influence? Have you considered the tangible impact you have on others? Or, are you so busy & distracted that you don’t look back to consider your impact on others as you move through life?

Are you a restless achiever? Restless achievers fall into four main categories:

CONTINUAL LEARNER: Motivated by acquiring new skills and continually seek opportunities to grow. Despite this drive, you feel stuck in your current situation…

Knowledge without application is useless.

Making progress towards a big goal or project creates critical psychological wins that reframe challenges and meaningful…

How do you deal with your fear head-on?

That's not a rhetorical question. Yes, I know I know... following me on LinkedIn means a constant stream of direct and thought-provoking questions. The alternative is a stream of fluff or generic information.

If you are feeling stuck on making a major decision I’d like to STRONGLY recommend…

How do you describe your challenges or obstacles when speaking with others? Do you focus your energy and attention on obsessing over every detail and infraction? Do you hijack conversations to rehash every detail and litigate your case to unsuspecting jurors? Perhaps … just perhaps … rekindling and enhancing your negative emotional state?
