S.M.A.R.T. Goals are important....but they are just and idea until you act on them. It's now time to take MASSIVE ACTION...Do something every week that either stretches your boundaries and makes you feel uncomfortable. Just do it Scared! It's oddly exhilarating to do because you constantly tell yourself you are doing it for the young YOU....and the future YOU! It's Go Time!

Time to take action! In order to really get down to the nitty gritty of changing your life, you have to start with the everyday things; the small things. Learn to see with another set of eyes, beyond what everyone else sees but with eyes that are seeing inspiration at every turn. Magic points of light are there...every single day, if you learn to see them.....that's what we are going to be talking about....You will be changed....forever. I love this part of the personal development journey!!!

For my next episode in my "Success Leaves Clues" video series where I talk to people who have made risky choices simply because they trusted their guts and followed their calling.
I had an incredible conversation with Tuomo Vauhkonen who is a Coach for High Performers and he is also a Tedx speaker and once I listened to his Tedx talk and picked up on his infectious optimism, I knew I wanted to hear more about his nomadic lifestyle ( from Finland and ultimately landing in TAHITI! )and how through those experiences he found his calling and is now living his best life and a perfectly suited career path. His Tedx talk can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYNi7RTKUcE&feature=emb_title
He describes himself as competitive and a high performer as well so he can easily identify with those that he coaches. We covered lots of topics and even delved into parenting (he is new dad!!!) and relationships and he shares some male perspectives on things you might be interested in. Listen in for how a boy from Finland ended up in Tahiti and is a successful Coach and teaching people how to optimize their lives!
He's got such valuable insight and grounded methods for his coaching programs. He's got a program about to launch so check him out or one of his free workshops! Check him out here: https://www.tuomocoaching.com/

I have been chronicling the journey of my "awakening" which began exactly 3 years ago today. It was very attention grabbing as are most awakenings and it wasn't exactly a pleasant experience but I'm grateful for all of it. If nothing had changed in my life....then nothing would have changed...you see? Something had to give, the dam had to break in order to force me to awaken and seek out the next level life I had wanted but never would step out of my comfort zone to get! So here I am 1 1/2 years into one of the major changes and I'm sharing with you some of the insights that I have gleaned so far from this journey into a new career and starting a new business and podcast etc. Listen in if you have been following along so I can encourage you along your journey because I absolutely get it!

As a man thinketh in his heart…So is he.”
Do you ever struggle to try and FEEL better or rise above the barrage of negativity going on around us? Life can be heavy. It seems the paradigm has shifted and the world is lead by emotions and feelings now and wants to try and suck you into the swirling vortex of heavy emotion-led responses in life that they get to dictate and expected group think or tell you that you should be outraged and depressed when XYZ happens to you..
Here's an encouraging thought....You are free to CHOOSE the way you want to think->feel ->react to any situation presented to you. Nobody owns your mind or your life. Do you choose to be intentional & self-controlled...OR RE-ACT from a place of Victimhood?
#selfcoaching #lifecoaching #personalempowerment #liveyourpurpose #changeyourthoughts #riseabove #podcastingSelf-Coaching; Master Your Feelings and Master your Life
Big Ideas from the show:
· Thoughts become feelings ->and feelings become RESULTS
· Stop playing small ball -> find your courage to buck the norms
· Take responsibility over your choices
· Chose better feeling emotions over lower vibration ones like anger, victimhood and anxiety
· It’s not everyone else’s fault that you are feeling hurt etc.; you chose that emotion -> reframe it
· You will never have positive behavior or results à> with negative emotions no matter what.
· Take your power back; control your mind and create better outcomes for yourself
· Don’t let others dictate when to be offended or victimized
· You have a special unique purpose to bring to this world and deserve to feel empowered and joyful -> don’t give it away so easily to others; find it and live it.
COMING SOON for anyone feeling frozen in place, discouraged or stuck… My New Coaching Program called “2020 Vision: Reset and Renew your Life & Purpose”

I had the honor of kicking off my Season 2 podcast series..."Success Leaves Clues" by speaking with Best Selling Author, Speaker, Top 100 Podcaster and CEO of Dreamshine, Mark Minard
Listen for his crazy story of how he went from finding himself in a jail cell at 17 yrs old living in a trailer making bad choices in his life to finding his way into college getting his degree and embarking on a life journey that he could have never believed was possible as that 17 yr old sitting in the jail cell. A life that included:
• Starting his own organization for developmental disabilities Dreamshine, Dreamshine is an innovative year round Adult Day Support, including job, community engagement, and transportation. Dreamshine is an adult day program that provides vocational training, job options, life skills and independent living skill training, social skills coaching, educational tutoring, learning groups, recreation!
• Starting what has now become a top 100 on itunes podcast based upon the life and entrepreneurial lessons he learned all packed in the “Elevating Beyond” Podcast.
• Speaker
• Best Selling Author of “The Story of You” AND
His New Book “16 Reasons Why Your Business SUCKS”
AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER ON AMAZON KINDLE
https://bit.ly/16ReasonsKindle
OR
PRE-ORDER FROM AMAZON PAPERBACK
https://bit.ly/16ReasonsPaperback
BIG IDEAS from our conversation:
• “You’re gonna SUCK’ at a lot of things you do but don’t let that stop you from doing them anyway because that’s how you learn. Great quote from his book on this point: from the movie White Men Can’t Jump where Woody Harrelson’s character tells Wesley Snipes character “you would rather look good and lose than look bad and win.” Be a winner no matter how much work it is or how bad you look doing it.
• Don’t be a victim. I had the victim mindset where I thought everything that happened in my life and my bad decisions were someone else’s fault. That’s how I ended up in jail at 17 yrs.old.
• As a leader you have to take “accountability” for everything that happens in your business. Quit trying to blame everyone else, it’s all on you and sometimes there are things to learn in those failures so don’t be too prideful to continue to learn.
• Have “self-awareness’ or you will SUCK as a leader.
• Work Hard. I’ve always had a great work ethic and that is partly what has contributed to my success.
• It doesn’t feel like work if you love what you do.
• Follow your gut
• Have a great attitude; always.
• SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GREAT POSITIVE PEOPLE. Cut all negative people and influences out of your life/business.

I’ve been wanting to do this for quite some time now and I finally decided that it’s now or never! If I wait until everything is perfect then I will literally never do this…or anything else worth doing in life. There’s never a perfect time to take a risk and live a little!!
If you are in a stall pattern in your life and you don’t know where to go or what to do then tune in to my podcast as this is exactly the issue that we will be discussing and MORE IPORTANTLY how to get unstuck and align with your highest and best life. Here’s a little insider tip for you…it’s so easy it’s almost ridiculous that you wasted so much time being unhappy and unfulfilled when happiness and your dream life is almost just a thought away! So tune in as I tell you my story of how I changed my life forever and put myself on an unbelievably fulfilling life path that I couldn’t have even dreamed was possible just over a year and one half ago. It’s incredible!
