    Encore: Expectations

    What is your ultimate goal in life? And more importantly, what steps are you taking today to achieve that goal?  Here’s why I ask: When we set goals, especially massive goals, it can burden us with stress. This type of stress results in procrastination, perfectionism, and giving up. But when you set proper expectations, you control your attitude and your actions.  In fact, these expectations are the difference between reaching your wildest goals or giving up on them because you didn’t realize how close to them you were.  In this episode, you’ll discover how expectations free you from stress and help you conquer your dreams with ease. Listen now.  Show Highlights Include:  Why reaching only 50% of your goals gives you a “hall-of-fame” career in any endeavor you try (1:15)  The simple 2-step formula for unleashing joy throughout your body (even if others upset you) (3:01)  The “Daily Expectations” secret for achieving almost any goal you strive for (4:37)  How to free yourself from the insidious shackles of stress other people put on you (6:53)  Do you want to stop existing and start living your best life right now? Click here to get the first chapter of Dr. Rick’s best-selling book, Lessons From a Third Grade Dropout, for free.

    Encore: Overcoming

    Everyone goes through seasons of gut-wrenching grief and misery. But great people aren’t defined by their successes, but by how they bounce back from failure.  And I have good news if you need to overcome any sort of trauma or negative emotions: Overcoming holds no educational level. It holds no status. It takes no financial requirements. Instead, it requires a simple choice: helping others.  Helping others provides therapeutic benefits for you, and massive benefits for those you’re helping.  In this episode, you’ll discover how serving others helps you overcome anything you’re dealing with (even the tragic passing of a loved one).  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include:  How one simple thought instantly pulls you out of the dumps whenever life beats you down (0:27)  The selfish reason for helping others and overcoming any mental turmoil you’re facing (1:03)  The 3 words my dad told me as I stared at my first wife’s casket which saved me from breaking down (and how these 3 words will empower you too) (1:14)  How to overcome the worst season of gut-wrenching grief in your life doing nothing more than helping others (2:56)  Do you want to stop existing and start living your best life right now?

    Encore: Fear

    Do you know what’s the ONE thing every famous person has in common? It’s not a hidden talent, luck or attractiveness… Once you start to practice it, people start to feel better with you around.

Join me in this episode to discover how you can exhibit humility in your relationships to make others feel important and understood around you.

    Encore: Competitive

    If you want to stand head and shoulders above the herd and outperform your competitors in any market, you only need one thing: A competitive edge. Your competitive edge is the distinct quality that makes you superior to the rest. And you know what?  There is a certain competitive edge that produces exceptional results if you develop it. Some of the richest people in the world even believe this common practice to be their “X factor.”  Everyone can do it, but not everyone will.  In this episode, I’ll reveal this uncommon competitive advantage billionaires like Mark Cuban and Warren Buffet claim is the key to their success.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include:  How you can create your own competitive advantage by borrowing these strategies from Chick-Fil-A, Apple and Amazon. (02:07) Why a ‘talentless’ Lucille Ball excelled in the film industry and cemented her name in television history (and how you can do the same in your life). (05:15) The X-factor these two billionaires say results in an uncommon competitive edge (you don’t even have to be a billionaire to do this). (07:27) Why Warren Buffet spends less than $4 on breakfast (and how his unique diet philosophy can increase your chances of living longer) (09:11) Do you want to stop existing and start living your best life right now?
