Ever been there? In the land of analysis paralysis because of
every possible "what if" scenario. I've learned how to trade the
"what ifs" for something else, something better and something
that's helped me make a whole lot of progress!
When it comes to goal getting, there's lots of things that can
motivate us toward our goal, but two tend to stand out from
any other. Which is driving your goal getting?
When we are around those who inspire, encourage and support us,
we find ourselves motivated to achieve our goals, be our best and at the very least, show up!
Do you know who keeps you sharp?
I don’t know about you, but I’m not a fan of being ridiculed.
Especially if it’s over something I said I was going to do. Ugh!
What does it take to actually finish? Let's find out...
So what do you have stored up? This episode
talks about what to do about both the good and evil

Your brain does...that is IF you tell it to!
We act what we believe and fortunately,
our brain believes whatever we tell it - what are
you telling yours?
Ever think that the best part of a goal is the ending?
Whether in the planning phase or finishing phase, the end

you need anywhere, anytime and for any budget!
We love to seek and give advice, but when it comes to
our goals how determined are we to seek guidance?
Today's episode encourages you to do the latter!
We all want the profitable part...who wants poverty??
This episode talks about the "missing link" we tend to
gloss or skip over when it comes to this issue.
Unconfirmed details - ever been the subject of any of those?
Today we're talking about too much talking and not the good kind.
Know better, do better is the focus today!
Flocks? Say what now? This is another topic we may gloss
over because, well, it can be a bit uncomfortable. But, it doesn't have
to be...
This is one of my favorite topics and one that
is not often the focus of goal-getters like you.
In this episode not only do I share what it means to stay
sharp, but also how to keep your E.D.G.E from going
dull.
What does it mean to have a good name for yourself?
Is it selfish, admirable or all part of what we should strive for
in our lives? Today's episode talks about those "differences".
Abundance? Yes, please!!
Today we talk about what it will take
in order to make that a reality in your
faith, life & business.

of our 30-Day Prioritized Focus journey!
Now there's a word we tend to shy away from - prosper.
We all want what it implies, but get a whole lot tripped
up on what it really means and takes.
Where your eyes wander, so will the rest of you.
How do you defeat distraction? What's keeping
you on the path to your goals? Let's look at one of
the biggest keys to staying on course.
Ever get discouraged when you find out that someone else
is already crushing it in what it is YOU had your dream on?
I know I have, and it's those moments we have some decisions
to make...
As entrepreneurs and repeat goal-getters we have this inclination
and even temptation to go it alone, figure it out ourselves...
But is this the best and most effective approach in our pursuits?
Ever experience an "epic fail" and just want to give up?
Well, this episode is about the courage and encouragement to
GET UP!

Not exactly a word we use (or utilized) a lot in our day to day lives,
but one that is so important if we hope to have the prioritized focus
needed to make progress toward our biggest goals & assignments.
Let's see what it means to be discerning when it comes to those big goals & assignments?
