“Money doesn’t need you. It can go find someone else to hang out with. If you don’t want money, then keep talking about how awful you are with it, how stressful it is, how confusing it is. If you want money, then invite it over for coffee. Embrace it. Learn about it. Talk about it. The more barriers you break down, the more financial success you will have.” - Noah Lehava

I don't know that we give ourselves permission to feel pain - to not only be hurt but to just be able to SAY it.
When we feel pain our instincts lead us to either run, fight it or even just be paralyzed because we don't know HOW to react. We often try to distance ourselves from the pain but avoiding pain shouldn't be our goal.
Health24: "Pain plays an important role in the lives of humans. It presumably serves to protect us from harm by making us associate certain harmful actions with a sensation of pain. And to alert us to diseases or conditions which we may have. Pain also produces an emotional reaction, not just a physical one."
NEWSFLASH: I feel pain too.
I spend some time breaking down how to set your "life criteria" to make the edits. I career question about "imposter syndrome" and two relationship questions.

Ask me anything on: mytaughtyou.com
I answered a lot of questions in the this podcast.
"I'm intimidated. I don't want a 9 to 5. I hate the thought of going to work each day. I'm African-American and everyone keeps asking me about my HAIR at work. Is it lonely at the top? Should I go into business with friends? Should I finish school? Is it too late to speak up for myself?"
Stuff like that!
It's that time of the year!
Recommit. Take action. Less talk.

I've been thinking about doing this one for awhile but hesitated because I never want to come off as an expert at something that I'm still clearly working on. I decided that my being hesitant meant I needed to do it. What am I afraid of? Being wrong? That's OK. Mistakes are proof that I'm trying. So here's my TRY:
I've found that many people don't really know the ins and outs of networking. They think handing out business cards or blindly emailing is how you do it. I have a few tips:
This one has been on my mind for the past few days.

I'm going to share the gems that I wrote down at #TheLifeYouWantATL in my typical fashion! I'm covering three speakers:
Oprah (of course!) - "I am the master of my fate, the captain of my soul."
Rob Bell - "The life you want begins with embracing the life you HAVE."
Iyanla - "When you don't live with integrity, you diminish your worth, value and esteem."
GEMS:
Hi there!
This is one of the popular questions on my ask.fm!
Have a great day!
ask.fm/myleikteele
1. A quick note on what it does.
2. Doesn't repair broken relationships.
3. If you are insecure about things about yourself, it doesn't change that.
4. Understanding the fact that we're all HUMAN.
5. YOU define your success ... Not others.
Based on a true story.
I noticed that MANY of the questions to my Ask.fm are about the opinions of others so I'm doing this NOW for YOU so that you can move on.
People need YOUR permission to speak to your life. Remember that. #mytaughtyou
The summer is upon us ... Let's get busy!

Guess who loves you?
It's me. :)
I selected this topic thanks to @charmsie on instagram! Keep writing me and I will keep talking! I broke it down like this:
Enjoy. Chat with me on my instagram. Talk soon!
I will be 35 in exactly ONE month and this what I've learned as I approach my personal New Year:
“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
“But until a person can say deeply and honestly, "I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday," that person cannot say, "I choose otherwise.”
― Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change
Choose HAPPY! Choose SUCCESS!
This is easily the #1 requested topic to my instagram and Ask.fm so here goes! I don't know if this will help much but here are a few of my best tips!
I've been sitting on this one for awhile. I started with my first 5 points:
This one is a quick one but it's GOOD (to me at least):
Ciao!
This is a sort of personal snow day podcast by request. 7 points. I'm sure I didn't hit them all.
Enjoy!
We've touched on many things and I think that the exercise of discipline is something that we should always be working on. I'm going to share a few of my TRIED and TRUE tips to stay focused and on task and get more done than you ever thought you could!
Let me know how my tips work for you on my insta or tweet me! - @myleik
I can't even begin to tell you how many times people have asked me about vision boards. Do I make them? The short answer is NO. Do I like them? I'm not opposed. What are my thoughts on them?
I'm recording this because the ACTION PLAN is much more important than the pretty pictures. I'm going to talk about some things that you can do to make things happen quicker. You may need to cut and RE-PASTE because I wonder if you have the most important thing front and center. And you're going to need a few POST IT NOTES because I want you to put the actions on those pretty pictures and once one action is done, remove it and put up the next one.
5 POINTS I'm going to discuss:
AAAHHH! The last day of the year. There's something so magical about the NEW YEAR! We make resolutions, we talk about all of the things we'd like to do better to do NEW in the NEW YEAR and my hope is that you stick to it!
I have compiled a list of things I think you should LEAVE in 2013!
I believe that every person has a unique "gift" or gifts. So many of us don't know where to find them or we've found them and don't know how to use them. Here's my short list in hopes that it kick starts you for 2104.
Sometimes our deepest wounds reveal our greatest gifts!
I love my Mom. She's probably THEE most fearless (in nearly every way) than anyone I know. Good ol' Brenda! Here are some pretty cool things I've learned from her over the years.
I always try to answer as many things as I can. I went back a bit and these are my 10 for the month:
Hoping this doesn't take FOREVER but I probably won't do many more of these in 2013 so here goes!
This has to be hands down the #1 question I get asked so I'm going to knock this one out for you in hopes that you get a better understanding of how (I believe) mentorship REALLY works.
Points:
It's no secret that I read a lot. I know that that there are PLENTY of people that don't read. Take a look at these stats:
25% of adults will not read a single book this year
33% of high school graduates never read another book for their entire life
42% of college graduates never read another book after college
80% of US families did not buy or read a book last year
That's a SAD state of affairs. I'm going to do what I always do and hit you with 5 points on what reading does for you:
This one just came to me when someone commented on a short video on instagram with my Dad saying that they believed that them not having a father was a deciding factor (in exactly what I'm not sure but probably in why they haven't succeeded). So I'm going to break down:
Over the years I have worked for many celebs (I consider them all to be entrepreneurs), high level excess and so on. I have read many autobiographies and worked directly for celebrities and I noticed that there were COMMON things about them that I believe led to their success. While the list is probably much longer than I can do in this podcast. I'm going to lay it out in my usual 5 points:
At your request I'm going to knock out 5 of MY very own tips on saving. While there are a ton, these are some that I believe will be useful. Remember that you always have to do what's best for YOU. So take everything I say (and others) into consideration for YOUR lifestyle.
I get asked a lot of questions that typically all go back to MONEY. I'm going to knock out a podcast on the topic and I'm going to break it down into:
And few budget tips and my personal relationship with money and how I was able to change it.
Most people want to know about ME and what I do (which surprises me) but you want to know how I:
This is by request. I'm going to keep it quick and simple as always. Here are a few tried and true tips that I'd give to any client of mine.
I've been having this one on my mind for quite some time and these are my FIVE tips to stay focused. Enjoy!
Quick 5 Tips on "Staying True To Yourself" ... The full request was "while pleasing others" but I'll leave that off because you please others by being you and also understanding that you can never please everyone.
I'm going to knock this out fairly quickly. I've gotten a few requests on how to build your team. This is my take on team building. Enjoy!
I got this as a request on Twitter. As always, I'm going to break it down into three sections. The first is the "appearance" of obstacles and your perception of them. Next I'm going to get into how fear is educated in and that it can be educated OUT and lastly I'm going to talk about doubt and how that's usually self-inflicted OR the work of the company you keep.
Most people just aren't that good or thorough. Here are my 5 tips on being super thorough and getting ahead.
Some people have identified WHO the people are that they want to network with and every now and then they're lucky enough to get some of that person's time. Now you're wondering WHAT should I talk about and how can I ensure that I made the best connection. I'll make it quick and take you through the steps.
We'll just call this an "accessory" to the networking podcast. Sure you can network and meet people and event he right people but what do you do once you have their attention? What do you give back? Do you really GET it?
The third installment of the Networking podcast never came to me (I keep it all organic) so I decided to share these few end of year/New Year tips ... All under 10 minutes. You know how we do! Happy New Year ... Be safe!
This is Part 2 of a 3 part series on networking. People always say to me, "you know EVERYBODY." I don't know everybody but I know a lot of people.
"The only difference between where you are right now, and where you'll be next year at this time, are the people you meet and the books you read." - Charlie "Tremendous" Jones
Part 1 in what may be a 3 part series on networking. Seems like so many people think they are doing and perhaps ARE doing it but aren't exactly successful at it. I'm sharing what has worked for me in hopes that you can pick up a few gems.
