Success Has a Blueprint...with Tim Kight, Founder CEO of Focus 3 Leadership Firm

🚀 Just had an insightful podcast conversation with Tim Kight, New York Times Bestseller Contributor, Featured in WSJ, ESPN and other publications, and Founder/CEO of Focus 3, on achieving peace and success in life. It was everything I hoped it would be. He is a fountain of quick hitting wisdom and integrity and the reason I chose to change paths into corporate coaching and Personal Leadership Accountability emphasis!
Tim's wisdom is built on his five guiding principles, his "5 Whys," which can transform your approach to life and work:
1️⃣ "Honor God."
2️⃣ "Love my family."
3️⃣ "Master my craft."
4️⃣ "Be a good friend."
5️⃣ "Contribute to my community."
SUCCESS HAS A BLUEPRINT….
💡 Tim emphasizes that bringing your "why" to your work, rather than seeking it solely from your job, is key to finding fulfillment.
🌟 Pursuit of Peace: We all seek peace, but it's not circumstantial; it's a mindset and resilience in the face of life's challenges.
🌪 Embracing Life's Messiness: Life is messy and unpredictable. Courage and accountability are needed to navigate its challenges.
💪 The Power of Mindset: Your attitude is a choice, and it's vital for overcoming adversity.
🌟 Resilience and Grit: Challenges are opportunities for growth, not roadblocks.
(Side note: Tim is a living embodiment of this principle as he navigates life with cancer and still finds purpose and fulfillment in everyday despite his circumstances.
“Cancer will determine when I die. It will not decide how I live. That's my choice.”
💬 "Life is messy, and there are people in situations that need to be challenged."
💬 "Your attitude is something you choose. It's not something that happens to you."
💬 "The key to peace, no matter how bad a circumstance may be, is to make sure you're focused on the right things."
💬 "A negative attitude is a self-imposed prison cell. The lock is on the inside of the door, and you have the key."
💬 "The obstacles and challenges that we face in life, they're not there to stop us. They're there to test us, to strengthen us, to make us better."
Tim's 5 "whys" underscore the importance of aligning your values with your life & goals and bringing purpose to both. Listen to the full podcast for more wisdom on crafting your path to success. 🎙️ #Success #Mindset #Resilience #Leadership #TimKight #focus3 #e+r=o

🌟 Rediscovering Happiness 🌟
Hey friends,
I wanted to share a little piece of my journey with you today. Have you ever felt like life was on autopilot? Like you were just going through the motions, day after day, without really feeling anything - not happy, not sad, just... numb? 🙁
That was me for a while, lost in the shuffle of motherhood, always putting everyone else first and forgetting what it meant to take care of myself. The empty nest phase hit hard, and I found myself not even knowing what I liked to eat or how to spend my time now that the kids were off to their own adventures.
But here's the thing - I didn't want to stay stuck in that "in-between" place forever. I craved happiness, passion, and a sense of purpose that went beyond just existing. And so, I embarked on a journey to rediscover myself, to reclaim the things that brought joy to my life, and to embrace the uncertainty of change.
I've started a podcast, [Podcast Name], where I share my story and connect with others who have experienced this same kind of emptiness and confusion. Together, we're exploring how to find our way back to happiness, one step at a time.
If you've ever felt lost or numb, if you're navigating the challenges of empty nesting or embarking on a new career path, or if you're simply on a quest to rediscover your true self, I invite you to join me on this transformative journey. Let's support each other, share our stories, and learn how to be happy again. 💪❤️

53. Beauty Industry to Podcast Entrepreneur: A Journey of Authenticity and Growth with Jess Burgio

I'm so happy to have Jess Burgio, hailing from San Diego, sharing her inspiring journey on this episode of "Inspired Action Life" podcast. As the host of the "Unscripted" podcast and co-founder of Media Unscripted, a podcast talent agency, Jess brings a wealth of experience and insight to the conversation.
She is not only beautiful (she knows beauty...she pivoted from the beauty industry into full time podcasting!) She is an author, she is wise, driven & AUTHENTIC as they come. This is a real talk conversation! The discussion delves into Jess's transformation from a successful hairdresser and salon owner to her current role in podcasting and entrepreneurship. Her story underscores the significance of recognizing inherent talents and leveraging them for a new career trajectory. The conversation explores her career evolution from the beauty industry to the fitness sector and ultimately to the dynamic world of podcasting.
An overarching theme is the power of curiosity and seizing opportunities, even when they require reaching out to influential figures. Jess's connection with Lori Harder serves as a prime example. Her journey emphasizes the profound impact of embracing change, finding one's voice, and embracing mentorship and personal development.
Jess's narrative shines a light on her journey navigating professional shifts to create a fulfilling and impactful career. The episode encapsulates her journey, from pivotal moments of self-discovery to strategic decision-making, culminating in her role as a podcast agency owner. Jess's story stands as a testament to the rewards of embracing change and recognizing one's unique strengths, ultimately leading to meaningful personal and professional growth.
"Knowing that you are capable of holding space, being a good listener, maybe being the person people turn to for a specific... those are the things you might want to lean into as your gifts."
"Being curious and being open... when an opportunity presents itself, I do ask myself, is this an opportunity or a distraction? And in those cases, it was always an opportunity."
3. "Sometimes we think things are going to be so much harder than they are or that like who am I to ask for this?
"I think being curious and being open and being like one of those people that when an opportunity presents itself... That's my going right."
"We take what we call these like soft skills for granted because they're just part of who we are... or it's maybe just what you do. And so you don't realize that these traits and these things actually can equate to a future business that you might want to start or have."

"Podcasting felt very similar to trading time for money, as it did with doing a haircut. I realized I don't have to be stuck to a chair at the salon, but now my *** is stuck to a seat in my office in front of a computer."
"Podcasting is an opportunity to connect your voice with your brand. It's not just about putting out content; it's about establishing yourself as a thought leader and driving traffic to your episodes."
"Embrace change, step out of your comfort zone, and recognize the transferable skills that can lead to success in unexpected areas."

52. Navigating Choices: Ego vs. Intuition – Mastering the Art of Trusting Your Gut

In this solo podcast episode, host Karen Baldridge discusses the interplay between ego and intuition in decision-making. She reflects on the importance of listening to one's inner wisdom when faced with important choices, whether in relationships, finances, or business endeavors.
Karen begins by describing her approach to creating podcast episodes that address timely topics and personal insights. She introduces the central theme of her recent episodes—finding a balance between following intuition and taking massive action in a hustle culture.
She delves into decision-making processes and identifies the challenge of determining whether to follow conventional advice or trust one's intuition. Karen presents three different approaches: blindly following external advice, adhering to expert guidance, and listening to one's inner wisdom.
She emphasizes the abundance of information available on the internet but notes the scarcity of true wisdom. Karen suggests that individuals often seek quick fixes and readily adopt advice from experts, attributing any failures to external sources rather than themselves.
Karen presents the notion of aligning one's decisions with inner intuition, describing it as a "still small voice" or gut feeling. She relates a story of a friend who embraced her own intuition, defied external skepticism, and pursued a unique business idea that later found great success.
The host distinguishes between decisions made from a place of alignment and those made from ego-driven motivations. She acknowledges the importance of meditation, reflection, and seeking inner clarity to connect with one's authentic intuition. Karen also cautions against imposing artificial timelines on decisions, highlighting the significance of choosing the right timing aligned with one's current state and context.
She shares a personal experience where she made a decision from a practical standpoint, relying on logic and external influences, rather than consulting her intuition. This decision led to challenges and a need to reevaluate her approach.
In conclusion, Karen reiterates the value of intuition in decision-making, urging listeners to prioritize self-awareness, reflection, and alignment with their inner wisdom. She encourages individuals to trust their gut feelings, stay open to magic, and cultivate the courage to make decisions that are true to themselves.
1. "Walking the line between intuition and massive action in a hustle culture is a challenge many of us face when making significant life decisions."
2. "Should I follow advice that seems to work for others, or should I listen to my own intuition? It's a common dilemma."
3. "We drown in information on the internet, yet we starve for true wisdom that aligns with our individual paths."
4. "Listening to external voices often leads us to blame others for failures instead of taking accountability for our decisions."
5. "The inner wisdom, the still small voice, the gut feeling – all point toward the next best move aligned with our highest good."
6. "Trusting ourselves and making decisions based on our inner intuition can be challenging but highly rewarding."
7. "Consulting the ego-driven mind and external voices can lead to decisions made out of fear or scarcity, rather than true alignment."
8. "Meditation and quiet reflection help clear space for genuine intuition to surface and guide us in decision-making."
9. "The right timing for decisions is crucial – imposing artificial timelines based on external pressures can lead to misaligned choices."
10. "Prioritizing self-awareness, reflection, and alignment with inner wisdom empowers us to make choices that resonate with our authentic selves."

51. Surrender to the Divine Timing

In this podcast episode, I disucss discusses the importance of taking aligned and inspired action in various aspects of life, including business, projects, and personal growth. I emphasize the significance of surrendering to divine or aligned actions, rather than just following logical steps or repeating past patterns. Karen shares her own experiences with understanding the timing and flow of actions, and how letting go and trusting the process can lead to unexpected and positive outcomes. She encourages listeners to be open to opportunities, stay committed, and find joy in the present moment. The message is one of embracing change, alignment, and allowing things to unfold naturally.
"Sometimes it's just the redirection is God's protection."
"You just need to prepare to be ready to be ready."
"Let go of all your own concepts, preconceived notions of how it should go, and this is exactly what should happen... it goes according to whatever plan that God has set out or the universe has for you."

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the Inspired Action Life podcast. I'm your host, Karen Boldridge, and today's episode is all about the magic of aligned action. Tune in as I share insights on taking purposeful steps, surrendering to divine timing, and embracing the journey. 🌟
🌠 Aligned Action: A Quick Dive 🌠
In this impromptu solo episode, I'm diving into the heart of taking action in alignment with your dreams and goals. Whether you're launching a business, embarking on a new project, or making a life change, this message is for you.
🌊 Surrendering to Divine Timing 🌊
Just like planting seeds in a garden, you don't dig them up to check their progress. Similarly, when you set your intentions and take action, surrender the outcome to the universe's timing. It's a dance of trust and patience.
🛤️ Staying the Course 🛤️
Sometimes, our plans hit roadblocks or detours. When things don't flow as expected, it's an opportunity to reflect. Are you pushing too hard? Is it time to pause and realign? Remember, redirection can be a form of protection.
💫 The Magic of Letting Go 💫
The most incredible opportunities often emerge when we let go of rigid expectations. Trust the process, stay committed, and be ready to be ready. Keep expanding your knowledge, nurturing your dreams, and believe that the right opportunities will find you.
🚣‍♀️ Floating Down the River of Life 🚣‍♀️
Picture yourself on a river, floating through life's twists and turns. Release resistance and allow yourself to receive. Sometimes, the best things come when you're simply enjoying the present and being open to unexpected joys.
🌌 Embrace the Journey 🌌
As you embark on your path, remember that each person's journey is unique. Let go of comparison and embrace your own divine plan. Look back at your life and notice the pattern – the most incredible moments often appeared when you least expected them.
💡 Final Thoughts 💡
So, my friends, let's commit to aligned action while surrendering to the universe's flow. Plant your intentions, take steps, and then release control. Embrace the magic that unfolds when you align your actions with your inner knowing and trust the journey.
Thank you for joining me today on the podcast. I hope this message resonates with you and encourages you to embrace divine action. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead! ✨ #AlignedAction #SurrenderToFlow #EmbraceTheJourney"

NEW PODCAST EPISODE @mrssabrinacarter … link to podcast in bio 🎉
“I cant fathom that I was the one that chose this path, because I was in such a position where I was thinking like, “how could a good God let this happen “ I’m going to just go all in whether you perform how I want you to or not because a lot of times he has other plans.’ #commitment #perseverance #belief #bigfaiththemovement
Sabrina Carter is a physician assistant, the host of the My RX no my prevention RX podcast, and a healthy lifestyle mentor. She's got a great, interesting story to share
From early life… she was always headed down the path of health, beauty & wellness faith and kindness as instilled in her by her parents
My mom cooked a lot, and although we got compliments for being beautiful, …she always reinstated, “but you're kind and generous and nice “ #motherswisdom
📣📣 Sabrina was a competitive cheerleader growing up, and she was a college cheerleader at University of Florida and University of Miami🎉🎉🎊🎊 this would not surprise anybody who has ever met Sabrina or seen her. She’s fit, cute, and very disciplined!✨💕
But as with all stories… Not everything turned out perfectly…
she went into a career that she thought she would love and embrace worked hard to get accepted into physicians assistance, school, and achieved a degree in this field once again, in the field of cardiology… Then came the storms of life
“In 2016, my sister got pregnant, gave birth, and was given a cancer diagnosis well. I had just invested a huge amount of money in a business, but I lost all motivation for it and creativity and could barely think clear… she had to go and be with her family.
This was her only sister and only sibling… She tells the story of how she has been overcoming pain loss, starting and restarting careers, businesses and living in different cities, and trying to juggle all of it… And still going through it
Nobody is immune to trouble or heartache or disappointment… But the key is, do you have enough faith and perseverance to overcome rebuild and get stronger? Listen to her story, so inspiring!
