Do you realize that there are certain words that when we really adopt them into our hearts and minds can change the course of our lives? Sometimes this is for bad (think words like stupid, fat, ugly, slow, boring, etc.) other times they can be empowering. When we choose the words that we live by and place prominently in our hearts and minds, there are powerful shifts that can happen. No, in fact, shifts that will happen. In this episode, I break down the process of determining your values and this will ultimately help you determine who you are. Join me on this amazing journey. Words can change worlds. Yours included!To support this podcast please visit https://www.patreon.com/sagemindset Music on this episodeWe Feel by tubebackr https://soundcloud.com/tubebackr

It's finally here! Part-7 of this series has finally arrived. This episode wraps everything together and will give you the context you need to apply the BALANCE acronym to your life. In this episode, I talk about creating healthy environments in 4 "environments". These are your Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual environments. When you are able to clear the clutter in these environments, you will be able to maintain balance in your life much more easily. As part of the episode I mention doing at least 5 check-ins on how you are doing in these contexts. Use the questions below to help you track your progress, moods, attitudes, and mindsets over the next 5-7 days. I'm going to suggest an interval of either 47 minutes or 1 hour 47 minutes. Here are the questions:What is going on right now in your physical environment?What is going on in your mind right now? What are you currently (in the moment) feeling?Are you in a state of flow with all of the environments? As you answer these questions, take 1-2 minute

Several years ago I used to work at a men's mentoring program called Alpha Academy. We helped 18-25-year-old men get their lives on track and a bit more stabilized. During my time there I started something I called Ten-Minute Tuesdays. The simple idea was to spend 10-minutes alone with each of the guys living in the program. The purpose of the meeting was to allow them space to just chat with me about whatever was on their mind. These meetings provided tremendous breakthroughs and deepened relationships in powerful ways. Here's the thing, this same concept with a business twist is applicable in your workplace. In this episode, I lay out how to do this in a simple and effective way. Give it a try. You'll be amazed at how after only a few meetings they can make a huge difference!Music on this episode byWe Feel by tubebackr https://soundcloud.com/tubebackr

Do you know your "why"? Many people struggle with getting to their "why" so they focus on what instead. Jesse Johnson believes this is harming a lot of people's careers and experiences.

To find a single question that can change your life and business is a pretty lofty ambition but in the book, "The Coaching Habit" Michael Stainer may have done just that.

This question can open up possibilities and opportunities you didn't know existed. Let me show you how to use it so you can experience the power of this question starting now! Music on this episodeWe Feel by tubebackr https://soundcloud.com/tubebackr

In part 5 of this series, I help you understand the two different Neverlands that we have in our lives. This part of the BALANCE series is the turning point for you toward purposeful actions. With Negative Neverland, I want to challenge you to think about the people, situations, and mindsets that you need to never (or rarely) put yourself into. You can do this by actively choosing the right behaviors, accountability, adventures, and relationships (love). When you take a trip to the other Neverland, you are going on a journey to a place you've never been before, an attitude you've never consistently maintained and/or a relationship you've never pursued in a certain way. The idea is when you replace your Negative Neverland with positive, you will find great encouragement, energy, and empowerment to achieve things you never have before. As the quote says, "To achieve something you never have achieved before you have to do things you've never done before."This episode will help you to discover how! Music on this

In this Live episode, I talked about the importance of using Lead Measures to accomplish your goals. These are the measures that will truly get you the results you want. Many of us know what our Lag measures are for our teams or our own goals.That's our revenue, weight loss, over or under budget, customer satisfaction scores, etc. The Lead Measures are the 1 to 3 most important things you can do that will move the needle to accomplish your goal. When you have a hyper-focus on these, you will make the progress you want and eventually accomplish your goals!

Do you love yourself? In the Bible, we are challenged to love our neighbor as ourselves but how do we practically love ourselves? I've talked with a lot of people (some of them clients) who struggle with truly loving themselves. The idea from Matthew 22:37-39 where Jesus encourages us to love our neighbor as ourselves is a really challenging notion. For many, to love your neighbor is difficult enough but to love ourselves is an even bigger obstacle. In this episode, I talk about how using the 5 Love Languages can really help you create more love in your life and therefore more balanced.When we look at love as a verb and use the 5 Love Languages as a filter, it's a powerful combination that creates a strong base for keeping balance in life. Music on this episode:We Feel by tubebackr https://soundcloud.com/tubebackr

In part 2 of this 7 part series, we focus on using accountability to create balance in your life. Most people don't think of accountability as a way to create balance but it is a powerful way to make it happen. I teach you how to use the Accountability PASS. The PASS represents the 4 different types of accountability you can use to maintain balance. Passive - sharing your plans, stories, intentionsActive - asking people to actively engage you on your journeyStuff - the things in your life that will remind you to stay accountableSelf - it all starts and stops with YOU.  Music on this episodeWe Feel by tubebackr https://soundcloud.com/tubebackr
