Do you have huge goals and dreams, but find yourself too hectic and stressed to actually make progress on them?   How often have you been excited about what you want to achieve but then your frustration level climbs sky high because the world around you seems to have its own ideas of what you should be spending your time on (too often these are fighting the daily fires!).  Before you know it, weeks have gone by and you have made barely any progress.  UGH!

So then the mind-chatter picks up the pace and you race through all the things you need to do to put out those fires, plus all the great ideas about what you could be doing, and then the self-talk comes in to criticize you for not making more progress on that most important goal that you decided would be a game changer for you and for all the people you share it with…

OK, let’s get our arms around this one, shall we?

What if I was to introduce you to a few simple exercises that would help clear the noise in your head, lower your stress levels, and help you focus on what’s most important?  In addition, you might get the most insightful idea flow that you’ve ever had. Interested?

This week’s guest, Tiffany Oddo, is an expert in Meditation and Guided Imagery. She has applied these methods as a therapist with her clients and also as a Results Coach to help people break through barriers and achieve their goals.

Tiffany has simplified the topic of Meditation and Guided imagery in a way that we can all understand not only what it is but how you can use these methods right now!  And I love understanding some of the science and medical benefits – I’ve always known in my heart and soul that meditation is a good idea, and now I can describe to someone else why that’s the case.

I know you’ll enjoy learning more about these powerful and important techniques – listen to this interview,

When you’re an entrepreneur or small business owner, your business results are shaped by the relationships you have around you

This may seem obvious – that the quality of your relationships will determine the quality of your results.  It definitely is obvious if you think about your critical business relationships, like your employees, suppliers, partners, customers, etc.

But what about ALL your relationships, including your friends and family members?  In fact, your significant other may be the most critical relationship of them all.

Consider this – if that significant other relationship is broken, do you think it will be easy to stay focused on the task at hand as you’re driving aggressively toward your huge business aspirations, or would you be distracted?  What about the opposite situation, when all your personal relationships are humming along wonderfully – can you imagine how easy it is to then be in the flow of great results in all areas of your business?

This week’s guest, Kim Mylls, shares with us why it is critical to build the relationships in all areas of your lives to enable you to move positively forward and get the results you want personally and for your business.  We talk about things like Values Alignment and Communication, and simple ways that you can check in with your customers, employees, suppliers, partners, and even your family and friends to make sure the relationships that are most important to you are rolling in the right direction for your long term success.

Do you find that you have been working on learning the “technical” skills you need to be super successful, but somehow you aren’t there yet? What if I told you that you already have the skills you need – and it’s your mindset that will determine your level of success?

That’s the message from this week’s guest, Kevin Klimowski. Kevin is the author of “Millionaire Secrets in You: 52 Tips to Uncover, Unlock and Unleash the Success within You”. Kevin reminds us that skills can be learned but if your mindset isn’t right you won’t succeed.

Kevin’s mindset shifted permanently when he was diagnosed with cancer. It was his positive attitude that ultimately helped him win the battle for his life. He shares that prior to cancer, he was all about “me!”, and after cancer, he was all about “how can I serve other people?”

We also have the ability to shift our results, but we don’t need our lives to be threatened to decide its time. In fact, why not decide right now to shift your attitude and mindset to be more positive?

Kevin points out you can change your entire existence in just a heartbeat when you decide to shift your attitude. He provides many examples during the interview of how this is true for us.

Shifting your attitude and mindset begins with awareness. We can’t shift what we’re not aware of. Notice when you use negative thoughts or words, and simply decide to substitute a better feeling thought – one that can empower you to the results you want to achieve.

Remember, our thoughts form our words, which shape our actions, which determine our habits, which define our character, which ultimately creates our future. It all starts in our minds, so why not begin deliberately shaping how you think?

You’ll love the quotes that Kevin sprinkles through the interview – and many of them are also embedded within the pages of his book.

Enjoy Kevin’s tips and stories, and see what you can apply right away (hint: you can at least begin to shift your mindset).

Kathy McAfee joins us as a special guest to talk about the role of professional networking for success and goal achievement.  Kathy gives you a new perspective on networking and shows you how it can help you realize more fun, freedom and fulfillment in your career, business and life.

Now more than ever your best investment is in building your professional network.  Listen to this stimulating conversation about how you can create a robust professional and personal network that works for you.

Kathy describes that the real purpose of Networking is Relationship Building – a purposeful exercise to build mutually beneficial relationships.  That’s an interesting perspective given all the 1-way “transactional” conversations you might hear when you go to a networking event.  Or, think of all the requests on Twitter or Facebook to click here to buy now – without the relationship first.  (This is one of the biggest mistakes people make.)

Kathy lays out the basics of networking for us, and points out that many of us are happy to help others but few have the courage to ask for help.

Here are two exercises to consider doing now that will help you determine the power of your network.

1)    How many people do you know? List them all out – break this up by category if it helps you, such as work, family, college, neighbors, etc.  (Note: this is not the number of friends on Facebook or Twitter, but real people you know by name.)  Did you come up with more than 250?  If yes, you’re doing pretty well.

2)    Who are your top 50 people – the influential people in your network who are motivated to help you out?

This week’s guest, Suzanne Weinman, is the author of Just 15 Minutes A Day: Meditation for the Rest of Us.  She’ll describe for us her amazing story and how quickly the book went from idea to published – it was effortless for her and it can be for you, too.

Catch this interview and learn what a quick and effortless process writing a book can be.  Want to guess how long the process took her?  5 Weeks!

This all started when she was learning how to meditate, and couldn’t find a book that didn’t over-complicate the topic.  She thought, “there’s got to be a better way”, and next thing you know… after meditating without worrying “am I doing it right” … the idea to actually write this book was born.

OK, great idea, but I’ve never written a book before – now what?  Suzanne describes how she remained open to the answer and went with it.  Next thing you know, she’s hearing back from a publisher that wants her book.  Cool, huh!
She reminds us that “Success Leaves Clues” – someone has already solved the problem you’re faced with, so get help.  Suzanne hired a coach and this is part of what enabled such great results in such a short period of time.

She outlines for us what she suggests you do if you want to write your first (or next) book.  Hear Suzanne’s story and it will inspire you get started on your own writing project.

Do you find yourself afraid to make the changes in your life that you know will launch you toward a higher level of success than you ever dreamed? We learn many things in our lives, but rarely are we taught how to manage the activity of our minds – our thoughts. Consequently, we experience inconsistent success and erratic happiness. An undirected mind worries, doubts, fears, and imagines the worst. All of this is, of course, completely fabricated – yet, it can control our lives. Whether personally or professionally, your mind will enable or destroy your chance for a meaningful, happy life. Join the interview with Karen Wright and discover a life beyond hesitation. You deserve more and it’s waiting for you!
