There is Always a Way
When life gets in the way, do you get frustrated about being blocked?  
I used to be that way. Something changed.
I learned long ago that getting blocked would be an everyday occurrence. And, the bigger my goals, the more blocks would arrive. I could live with endless frustrations - or find a better way. It came down to this:
1) Blocks have nothing to do with who I am. They could be self-inflicted or caused by others, but they still have nothing to do with me. 
2) If you want something, there is always a way to get it. Always… always… always. You may not like the path, your ego may get in the way, or it may scare you, but there is always a way.
The next time frustration gets in your way, blow it off and keep moving. There is always a way to get what you want. Find it.

Living Your Default Mode
Would you like to make life easier for yourself and everybody around you?
It’s time to establish a “Personal Default Mode.”
Success in all areas of life smooths out when you know what to expect of yourself. It gets better when others know what to expect of you.
A “Personal Default Mode” is a consistent way of acting in different areas of your life. For example:
1) How do you respond to stress?
2) What happens when you don’t get what you want?
3) Is there a behavior you expect from others? Do they know it?
Most things run on autopilot when you understand how you handle day-to-day situations.

Never Triggered Again
Have you ever caught yourself doing or saying something you swore you would never do?  
You are TRIGGERED!
It can be frustrating when you set and don't follow the rules. Sometimes, you put your foot in your mouth. Sometimes, you put the pizza in your mouth. In any case, your emotional habits usually trigger your actions before you can do anything about them.
Controlling behaviors that have been on auto-pilot for years takes:
1) Catch yourself after the fact. Notice your mistake and find it sooner next time.
2) Catch yourself being triggered. You’re getting better.
3) Catch yourself before you act and stop it. GOAL!
Don’t let Emotional Triggers throw you off track from your goals. Pay attention to your behaviors and make minor adjustments until you get what you want.

Are You The Monkey in The Middle?
Have you ever found yourself stuck in the middle?
I was speaking with a client trying to be everything to everybody. His business was not growing. His life was not happy. He couldn’t seem to find a way to make progress.  
That’s when I said…
“My friend, you are stuck in the middle. Nothing good happens when you are in the middle.”
In business and life, having low expectations and being surrounded by like-minded folks is okay. 
It’s also okay to reach for your dreams, has high expectations, and expect that of others.
What happens if you’re in the middle?
When low and high expectations combine, confusion is the result. Mediocrity overtakes quality. Frustration will be your daily friend.
The choice is yours. If I were you, I would make the decision never to get stuck in the middle.

5 Words To Succeed at Anything
When I was a baby DJ in broadcast school, I spent a lot of time learning the rules of journalism. While that subject fills books, almost everything we needed to know was -
Who? What? When? Where? Why?
If you know that information, you can tell a complete story.
Years later, I re-arranged the formula for personal growth. Every time I set goals and consider a different direction, I ask -
What? Why? When? Where? Who? 
Occasionally I need to ask HOW I will accomplish my goal - but that usually takes care of itself.

Let Your Greatness Shine
 Whether in business, having a job, going to school, or living your life, your ability to present well will supercharge your success.
Here are five tips I use every day:
1) Understand that most folk only expect you to wow them. They are not expecting bad. You shouldn't either.
2) Join the conversation THEY already have inside their head, not the one YOU are having.
3) You'll move faster if you drop the small talk and dig into the meat of your communication. You can fill in additional information later.
4) The sooner you get people to suspend disbelief and engage with you, the sooner you will succeed.
5) Stop overkill. Find the first best place to take your exit and bring your meeting to an end.
You're going to be amazed at how well this works.
