  • Blog #71 – The 3 Keys to Change per Tony Robbins

    1. Strategy – Success leaves clues and most of the things you want to do have been accomplished by other people already. To bake a cake all you have to do is follow the recipe. Someone already figured out all the ingredients need and time to cook. This is the strategy for baking a cake. There is a right way and a wrong way to do things. If you have a mentor that can show you the right steps to take and when then you will get to where you want to go.
    2. Story – Everyone has a story. A running narrative that is going on in your head about who you are, what you can accomplish. Your likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. This is your identity. This story is written by you and only you have the power to change it to an empowering story.
    3. State – This is your physical, mental, and emotional state. Every moment you feel happy, sad, energized, tired, creative, focus, distracted…ect. We must commit to living in a beautiful state because this will make everything easier.

  • Blog #70 – Make it EASY

    In any profession all of the greats make it look easy. In sports the game slows down for them and they make the right moves look effortless. In music the great players hit the right notes with ultimate precision and timing. In public speaking, the speaker is up there on stage relaxed. They make it look easy because it is easy for them.

    For the rest of us, we tend to over-complicate things. We stress and worry because we are in over our heads. We add levels of complexity that are unnecessary but we think will impress someone else. This does not do anyone any good and only makes it harder on ourselves.

    Take out the complexity and simplify it. The best work happens when you are playful and enjoying yourself. People will be able to see this and you will become the master.

  • Blog #69 – STAY CURIOUS

    If you are having problems focusing then you are probably not interested in what you are doing. If you are curious in what you are doing then you will automatically be drawn to it. You will want to find out more information and dive deeper into what you are working on.

    Being curious is a gift of endless energy. You will naturally be inquisitive and ask questions. You will want more information and all of this will make you better.

    As long as your curious the learning will never stop. You will go down many rabbit holes that ordinary people wouldn’t go down. You will try many different experiments just to see what happens. There is no failure on experiments and feedback.

  • Blog #68 – Remind me Why again.

    To start anything you need a reason why.

    Why are you on a diet?

    Why do you workout?

    Why do you goto work?

    Why do you practice music?

    Why do you blog?

    Why are you in a relationship with that person

    There is a reason why you are doing the things you are doing. Chances are that some time has passed and you are not the same person that you were when you started this journey to begin with. So is you why still relevant or valid? If it is not then why are you still doing it? If it is valid then it is even more motivation to work harder for what you want.

  • Blog #67 – Skill doesn’t matter but this does….

    Don’t even worry about skill or how good you are. You are not the best person to judge your own talent. You will always want to be better. You will always think that it could be better. You will never be completely happy with where you are at. This is what drives you to do more. This is the hunger that you must have to get better. Nothing else matters besides this drive to keep going no matter what.

  • Blog #66 – Creating Content. Quantity vs Quality?

    All business and artists are media companies. Listen to GaryVee and he will tell you that this is the best time to be alive because marketing and advertising is so cheap. The gate keepers have been knocked down and everyone is on a level playing field. Social media has become the great equalizer giving even the smallest of people a voice in a crowded world. To take advantage of this opportunity you must create content. And lots of it!

    The debate between quantity and quality is easy on the surface but not on the inside. Everyone can agree that the more you do something the better you will be at it. So why not do as much as you can? Why not release as many posts, songs, videos and blogs as you can? The answer is because you’re selfish. You’re thinking about how people are going to judge YOU because YOUR work is not good enough. You’re thinking about how YOU can do better and YOU will wait. Whatever it is you’re thinking about it’s all about yourself.

    Be more selfless. Think about others and what they need. Think about how the content will help what they are going through. Think about others more because you are willing to do more things for other people than you are yourself.

  • Blog #65 – The Fear of Professional

    Definition of PROFESSION:

    – the act of taking the vows of a religious community

    Merriam Webster

    Going from amateur to professional can be very intimidating . Even the definition of Profession sounds like you are signing up for a cult. There are tons of amateurs and very few professionals. To cross this threshold you must prove yourself worthy. You must get a professional to vouch for you and let you in the circle. You will never get there unless you put your work on the line and take chances. You will never get there unless you fail over and over. It is intimidated because you are doing something you’ve never done. You are escaping the comfort of your own circle and going into uncharted territory. Be confident. Be Comfortable with Discomfort. Keep going.

  • Blog #64 – The Golden Rule is Flawed!

    Let people thrive by being themselves. Do not try to change people or tell them how they should be doing things. Everyone is different and will come up with a different way to do the same thing. It may not be the way you would do it but no one is like you.

    Even the “Golden Rule” is flawed because everyone wants to be treated different and if someone treats us how we don’t want to be treated then we get upset. They may be treating us that way because it is a different culture or any number of reasons.

    It is our own expectations that causes us discomfort. The expectations of what others should be doing. The expectations of how we should be treated. The expectations that you are owed something. The expectations of who people are.

    Trade your expectations for appreciation and your whole world changes in an instant.

    Tony Robbins

    With no expectations you leave nothing to chance. You become a leader and do things for yourself. You are not waiting around for other people to do things for you. With no expectations everything becomes a surprise and a blessing. Expectations are always a let down. Lower the bar and appreciate all the small things.

    You are great! Keep up the good work!

  • Blog #62 – Is Reality a Figment of your Imagination?

    Imaging being at a party. Music is playing and people are dancing. You look across the room and a fight breaks out. The cops come and take the two fighting people to jail. The two people get put in the hot seat and get interrogated. Each one of the people tells the interrogators what happened but each person has completely different stories. How is this possible? Who is telling the truth and who is lying?

    Once something happens we rely on our memories to to retell the story. The memory can add things or leave things out. The memory is not the most reliable thing unless we emotionally charge our memories. Back in the day we remembered things like what caves to stay out of otherwise we might get eaten by a tiger. Now we remember reality TV stars names. Each person has different memories and each person will have their own interpretation of those memories..
