Welcome to Episode 21 of The Drone Mentor Podcast!
In this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re going to focus on CHANGE...
Albert Einstein is popularly (mis)quoted as saying that;
‘The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results…’.
But what does that mean to us?
Why am I bringing this up this week and chatting about it here with you today?
Well, I’m bringing you this little nugget to get you thinking about where you ARE and where you WANT to be…
Now, I’m guilty of this too, and this is something I’m concentrating on over the next week, so I can make some changes and work on maintaining them throughout the next month to create some new HABITS for myself.
Habits that should help me make some changes to myself physically and psychologically that should help me serve you guys in the community better. For example, like many people, I’m not particularly happy with my current weight and how my body looks at the moment…
Now, I’ve been saying this for years; ever since I had my flying accident and made an excuse in my head to stop exercising and carry on eating how I was when I trained every day. But here’s the thing…
Thinking this all the time but not making a POSITIVE change to start moving towards the change I DESIRE just takes up spare mental capacity and NEVER gets us moving towards the change, towards the thing we desire.
And, as Einstein says… That’s insane!
Cheers Albert!
So, if we want to make a change, it’s down to us to do something about it.
To do something different and start working towards it.
So, join us as we discuss this here today and let me know what you think...
What are you going to change this WEEK that'll help you to move towards your goals?

In this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re going to focus on building and improving our confidence so we can put ourselves out there and make unbridled progress. Progress where WE aren’t the thing holding ourselves back, and we’re going to realise that oftentimes, WE’RE the very thing that’s stopping us from being successful…
Not other people, our financial situation or any of the other thousand excuses we might use not to make progress…
It’s down to us and our lack of self-confidence or self-belief that’s getting in our own way.
This week, we’re going to commit, together, to learning a little more about ourselves, leaning into our strengths and chipping away at our weaknesses. Exploring a couple of methods that can help us become more confident and start to make progress.
Progress towards our goals, our ambitions and our success…

In this week’s podcast, we’re taking a look at something that’s hugely wide-reaching, is essential to get to grips with if you want to make progress and is ABSOLUTELY fundamental to all of the processes, techniques and strategies that we talk about here on the Monday Motivation podcast episodes.
The thing we’re going to be discussing here today is CLARITY… I talk about it all the time but what is it and how is it different to FOCUS, which is something else I mention regularly?
What does it mean to us?
How do we get it and, most important of all - why should we care about it?
First up then, what is clarity? What does it mean to us in terms of our journey?
CLARITY is what you need to get, to be able to set your end goals… It’s about you taking a long, deep look inside yourself and working out what it really is that drives you and what you REALLY want to achieve…
So - without further ado... Let's explore this concept, together! :)

Welcome to Episode 15 of The Drone Mentor Podcast!
In this week’s episode of the Monday Motivation podcast, we’re going to focus on setting our priorities.
What is it that means the most to you?
We’ve talked about setting goals in previous episodes, and now, we’re going to start to drill down and consider WHAT we actually need to do to achieve them.
What steps do we need to take to get our success boxes checked off before close of play this week, to get us moving toward our goals… And, more importantly, what things are going to hold us back from achieving success this week?
What things are a lower priority and can be ignored for now, so we can laser focus in on the things that are going to make a positive difference TODAY?

Welcome to Episode 12 of The Drone Mentor Podcast!
In this week's episode, Matt discusses HOW TO EARN £65k+ each year as a Drone Pilot and if it's even possible...
With so many Drone Schools promising this income level as a result of training with them, what's the sketch?

Welcome to this week's Monday Motivation Episode of The Drone Mentor Podcast!
In this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re going to focus on achieving one thing.
This week, we’re going to commit, together, to getting one task completed, one thing that we’ve had on a list or in the back of our mind, that we know we need to get done and ticked off, so we can start to make progress.
Progress towards our goals and ambitions and towards making a better and more prosperous future for ourselves, our friends and our families.
The three questions to ask yourself from this week's Episode:
1) What would you like to be doing in 12 months' time that’s different to what you’re doing now?
2) What do I need to CHANGE in my daily routine to help make this happen? What changes do I need to make, to help move me towards the thing I’d like to be doing in 12 months?
3) What am I going to change THIS WEEK, to make this happen?
