Everyday I wake and begin the fight for my life. T

Everyday I wake and begin the fight for my life. The doubt creeping in telling me that I can’t or I don’t deserve. The stories that slow me from creating what I was meant to build. The fear coming from every corner I turn. Just because I am moving doesn’t mean that I don’t have the same thought and fears that you do. The difference is that I am willing to lean into them and push anyways. The biggest critic in your life is yourself and when you figure out how to beat the stories, there is nothing that can stop you. Find your way through failure to abundance. There is abundance in everything, look out your window and you will see. The trees are full of leaves, the grass is full of life, the people are everywhere, the snow is piling up, truly in everything on this earth there is abundance. It time to find yours... #entrepreneur #inspiration #leadership #success #motivation

I have been limited in my life by not getting clea

I have been limited in my life by not getting clear on what I want. If it isn't clear to me, how can it be clear to anyone else? Taking time each week to reassess my targets and ensure that I am on track sets me up for success. I have an opportunity to get clear and make course corrections to keep on the path. The biggest key in all of this is to make sure that my targets are measurable. I have set so many goals that weren't built with any kind of matrix to track and assess myself. I failed almost every one of them. When I finally changed the way I set targets I changed my results.

Simple choices have put me where I am today. Wheth

Simple choices have put me where I am today. Whether good or bad, I am where I am because of me and the choices I have made. We are all so quick to look at others and give them our power. When I succeed I am very quick to look at others and tell them thank you for your guidance. I struggle giving myself the same gratitude for the work that I have done to get here. On the other hand I take full blame when I jack it all up. I beat myself up, saying that I don’t deserve it or I am not good enough. It is great to take ownership of the things that are going on in your life, but ensure you give yourself the gratitude that you deserve. This is the only way to achieve balance and create the momentum required to keep going. Take time today and give yourself gratitude and take ownership of where you are. You are your own champion... #lead #growth #expansión #ownyourfuture

I create my own distractions, I allow things into

I create my own distractions, I allow things into my life by not doing what I said I would do. . I will continue to be lost as long as I allow these patterns to continue in my life. . I am also the only one who can control and do what is required to rise above these. . What are the distractions you keep allowing to control you?

To build anything you must believe in it. This includes yourself, with everyone making New Years resolutions this year remember that you have to believe in you to build you. Choosing to do nothing is more of a failure than doing something and failing. At least doing something you have the opportunity to learn from your mistakes and come back stronger then ever. . #takechances #createeveryday #build #entrepreneur #ceo #managementconsulting

Paralyzed by the path of getting where I need to go. When I am fixated on the end of where I am going I get distracted and try to skip steps to getting there. When I use the target as a guide and only look up to see if I am on track I can create at a whole new level. Focus on the step in front of you, stop being paralyzed by the whole body of work.

Let it go, it doesn’t serve you.

Let it go, it doesn’t serve you.

Anger is not a choice but your reaction to it is.

Anger is not a choice but your reaction to it is. Many year I battled with the demon of anger, I would allow it to consume me and control me. What I found is there is no way around over or under it.,There really is only through it. Avoiding to feel through it and get to the other side will always leave the remnants of pain. It will drag you down and hold you back. The biggest problem is identifying it once it is there.

Something that most of us struggle with is to trul

Something that most of us struggle with is to truly value ourselves or our product. When you are constantly finding yourself at a loss for words when someone asks what you do or who you are, it is time to take a deep dive inside and introduce yourself to you. One of the hardest questions that I have had to answer in my life is... Who are you? It sounds so simple, but means so much. Take some time today and answer this question for you not for anyone else. Stop defining yourself by your role, define yourself by who you are as a person. Once you figure this out the road blocks your experiencing will begin to disappear.

The baggage is mine to carry, I get to choose how

The baggage is mine to carry, I get to choose how heavy that load is. I have found myself in a place of blaming and allowing excuses to creep in. I have told many stories that are not building me , but holding me back. I have given to much power to others. These are all keys that we are hanging on to the wrong baggage. It is time to let go and grow. The choice is yours, will you continue hanging in to the things that hold you back or will you let them go and rise to the levels you are currently wishing for?

The is a classic example of analysis paralysis. We get so caught up in the planning of shit that we never move. I learned to say that I am searching for clarity because people would let me hid inside of that story. I have found that I will never find the true way up the mountain Until I begin to climb. Where are you waiting for all the answers to the questions you don’t have? The answers mean nothing till you have the experience.

Very rarely do we know the way or what we are gett

Very rarely do we know the way or what we are getting into when we start. The difference between the successful and unsuccessful is the willingness to move even when it is uncomfortable. I have spent the majority of my life in a blindfold. No the kind that you’re thinking, but the kind we put on ourselves. I always thought that I could just muscle and fight my way through everything. I thought that if I just worked hard enough the things that I wanted would come. Here is the truth, yes it takes hard work. But, most of all it takes education. I bet you never knew the first book I read cover to cover was “The One Thing”. That was just over 3 years ago. I didn’t realize how much strength there is in knowledge. You don’t have to remain blindfolded, pick up a book, grab a coach or a mentor and rise beyond the current limits that you set on yourself.

I find myself stuck in production time and time ag

I find myself stuck in production time and time again. There have been many times where I remain in the fog and do nothing. I literally get completely lost inside of it with no direction or purpose. In these moments I have to remind myself to move. I have to change my environment, my direction and my perspective. So, I will get up get out and get moving. Where are you stuck and choosing to just remain in the fog? Get up and move!!!!

What an amazing view on an amazing golf course. .

What an amazing view on an amazing golf course. . I am constantly hearing how it isn’t possible, I just can’t, I am too old, I missed the boat, I just don’t have the time etc... . These are key indicators that you are completely fucking missing the boat. If these stories are coming up in your head, it is time to move. You must take advantage of the opportunity that is in front of you. . The funny thing is that the people who tell these stories are also the ones saying that they never get any opportunity and nothing will ever go their way. . I tell myself these stories often and I have to continually remind myself to break the habit of “I can’t because”. I must change my story to “ I will and when” a simple change of a couple words could be the change that you are longing for in your life.
