The Goalink Show Goalink

“How many years are you going to wait until you give yourself permission to do what you know you need to be doing?”
This ONE question changed Jonathan's life. At age 30, he lived in a world where he thought everyone else had a problem, but not him.
We go into his mission of learning the art of conversation, hymns and beer, marriage and relationship tips, and of course some good ole classic inspiration! 
CHALLENGE: this week’s challenge is inspired by Jonathan: ask your partner, friends, family, employees and/or boss what you’re amazing at and where you can improve. This tells you what to keep doing more of because you’re amazing at it. It also tells you what you need to stop doing because you’re not so great at it.
Do more of what you’re great at. Unless you want to be great at what you’re not great at, then of course do that. Like me with rapping to people in the streets at 19 years old and Jonathan learning to listen and have a conversation at age 30.

Do you avoid looking at your bank account? Do you feel guilty for spending money? Do you have a hard time letting a friend pay for you? Are you dishonest about your financial situation?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this episode is a must for you. We ALL have a money story so really this episode it for everyone.
This is the audio from one of our membership group calls. I wanted to give you a real look into it since a lot of you aren’t in it. You’ll hear us talk about polls and questions that people chat in. You can’t see that obviously because this is just the audio.
This was an eye opener for me, especially when she talks about our feelings and energy around spending money. A lot of us have a misguided relationship with spending money.
My wonderful friend Adrian @adrianellison tells us her money story that she grew up with. How she would manipulate her lovers and friends. How she had an extremely difficult time being honest with money. How she has improved and is cleaning up this narrative.
Money is energy and how we can create as much as we want. Adrian gives us real tools to use to identify our money story and how to reframe it for our benefit.
CHALLENGE: Clean up your money energy by consciously reviewing your bank statement and card transactions. Scroll through and take note of the energy you feel when you see each line.
Do you remember that moment? If you don’t then it’s best to not spend money there anymore. If you do remember, how do you feel? Does it feel awesome? Cool, keep creating that energy. If it doesn’t feel awesome, stop creating that energy, which means stop spending money in that environment.

It’s like a podcast on steroids because you get to converse with us and get 1-on-1 coaching for an amazing price in a group setting.

Let's. Get. Curious.
There's no better human to get curious with than my guy MJ.
This dude’s awareness is on another level. He’s a great listener with a unique upbringing and has a cool perspective that he’s sharing for the first time on a podcast. He grew up with four families and four different cultures that have given him a curiosity about life.
He is an extremely talented videographer who stopped pursuing money to focus on experiences.
CHALLENGE: this week's challenge is inspired by MJ: we want you to stop trying so hard. That's right, stop trying so hard. Take a breath and allow yourself to feel. Allow ourselves to receive what's good.
Take a look around and appreciate what we have. Press pause on the hustle and contemplate the ease of life.
This might be hard (hence this being a challenge) because we've been culturally trained to go, go, go and want more, more, more. Could life be easier than we are making it to be? Are we perpetuating the struggle necessarily? Follow Goalink: @goalinkgroupFollow MJ: @mj.movAttend the Goalink retreat: https://www.thealpasproject.com/goalink

Welcome Dr. Aaron Simmons, professor of philosophy at Furman University. He’s written 9 books and in addition to his intellectual prowess, he is a loving father, husband, and of course loves to go deep into conversation. He also loves hip-hop which gains major points from me.

We start the conversation off by recalling how many churches he’s been kicked out of (or politely asked to leave). We discuss God and politics with an angle you’re probably not used to.

We go in to the importance of disagreement, willing to be proved wrong, and why to surround yourself with critics. Put question marks where others put periods.

What is the failure of success? Aaron tell us.

No black and white answers here, folks. Just lots of nuance, which is what life is about.

Connect with Aaron on LinkedIn or email him.

CHALLENGE: Inspired by Dr. Simmons: seek out a conversation with someone who disagrees with you. This is not an attempt to convince them to change their viewpoint or argue. Come into the conversation with an open mind and ask them to share why they believe what they believe.

Ask questions, don’t spit out supposed or actual facts to counter their point. Listen to the why behind their beliefs. What was their upbringing like? What has shaped their view? Once you ask questions and listen, you’ll probably understand why they think the way they do.

After this, you may of course share your opinion if it’s appropriate. And who knows, you could change someone’s mind like Aaron has by first listening and asking questions, then offering your point of view.

This is most definitely the best way we’ve kicked off an interview… with a rap! Welcome Brian D. Johnson aka "BJ The Dreamer" to the show. Author, inspirational figure, Emmy award winner, and most importantly an all around good dude.

He's been on the verge of suicide, slept in his car with no place to go, and spent a lot of time in a negative place blacking out drunk. He moved out west with $300 in his pocket and a dream to turn his life around.

He breaks down some of his life lessons including what he's learned from working with major celebrities like Will Smith and Snoop Dogg.

CHALLENGE: This week's challenge is inspired by Brian and his book: live your dreams OUT LOUD! Yell your deepest desire and/or dream from a balcony, rooftop, or in the street. Even if you need to take baby steps, that's ok too. Write it in your journal, whisper it to yourself, then to yell it out loud alone in your car. Whatever you need to do, let's live our dream out loud!

The post of the exercise is to claim and manifest your desire into existence. If you can't claim it for yourself, how do you expect to make it a real thing?

Have you ever wondered why some people are magnetic? How everything seems to work out for them?

You get your answer this week with Emily Gallagher. She's a SERIOUS creator of abundance. She cultivates this mindset daily. It's easy to get in a game of comparison, but please remember how much practice such inspirational figures have. Anyone can create a life of abundance!

And of course... no one's life is perfect.

CHALLENGE: This week’s challenge is inspired by Emily: practice an abundant money mindset. Money and wealth is about resourcefulness & value. Realizing we are able to generate value and uplevel our resourcefulNESS, enhances our ability to generate money.
Exercise: Brainstorm 10 ways you could make money right now. Don’t limit yourself, see that you are able to generate value & income from places you haven’t originally seen.
I.e- get a roommate, up my prices, ask for a raise, create an offering, drive Uber etc. This is about seeing that income and money is all around you. It is not that you need to go and do those things, but switching the mindset from “I can’t “, to “I choose not to” is a powerful shift in itself.

They key is to LOOK for the abundance. This will shift your perspective to find the infinite possibilities around you.
