Crush Your Commute

Hello! This week we're going over the power that rituals have in your life.  If you aren't intentional about these, rituals can derail you.  If you get intentional about them and identify those that can help you, then they can take you to greater heights than you thought possible!   This episode is all about rituals and the kinds of things that you can do to take control of your mornings and evenings.  Many of the most successful people have many of the same things that they focus on in their morning routines.  We'll talk about that as well as some specific examples that I'll go through in my own life as well as those that I follow. Also, I likely won't be posting next week as I'm working to relaunch my blog with this podcast.  Stay tuned and hopefully I'll only miss one week!  We'll have content a little more frequently in both written and audio form.  Look forward to that and check out the website as it launches!  Cheers!

Hi! Thanks for listening to Session 8 of the Crush Your Commute podcast.  This week we're talking about the stories we tell ourselves.  I know that I have a large committee of voices that are constant critics and don't really have my best interests at heart.  In this episode, we talk about the consequences that this can have and the 5 steps that you can take to completely reframe your story into something that empowers your life for success and fulfillment. First we need to acknowledge that the voice exist and isn't ours.  Second, write down what you're hearing.  Is it helping you out?  Write down a new understanding of the story and physically get into your nervous system!  I give you a great NLP tool that I've used and have found extremely helpful to get these new stories and beliefs deep into the nervous system, check it out and let me know what you think!   www.crushyourcommute.com/cyc008

Hey guys! I've been travelling for a couple of weeks now, going to a couple of great events in Tony Robbins Business Mastery and Next Level You, a Usana event put on by my good friends Jordan & Kristen Kemper.  I thought it might be a fun thing to do a mashup episode where I just run through some really cool topics that we went through in detail.  I apologize for the quality on this one, I was aboslutely exhausted after 5 full days of Tony Robbins level energy...My nose was a bit clogged and there's a lot here.  Take your time and I hope you enjoy some of these tidbits!  If you have the means and are serious about growing your business, I highly recommend making the trip out to a business mastery event as well as Next Level You!   Tom

Hello!   First, a word of appreciation to you for listening or even considering it.  It's a privilege to be in your ear space. This week we're talking about developing an abundance mindset across the different areas of our lives. Too many people get stuck in these scarcity loops, and can't make a breakthrough.  A mindset of scarcity will hold you back and put up roadblocks where the way might be clear and ready for you. In this episode, we'll go through 3 common scarcity beliefs, replace them with abundant beliefs, and go through an exercise that you can do to identify areas of your life that you may have some of these blocks:Finances, Health, Relationships, Career, etc.   Thanks Again!

Hello!  This time we're talking about the 6 basic Human Needs that drive all of our behavior.  Getting a good grasp on these is essential to having the level of self awareness that great leadership requires.  There is a shortage of great leaders in the world today, and this is a big reason why.  We need more self awareness.  Understanding the 6 Human Needs and the psychology behind them will allow to reflect on your own motivations behind your default behaviors.   The other cool thing that this will do is illuminate what motivates other people to act the way that they do.  Once you understand what drives someone to act, you can begin to influence them.  This is vital in sales, consulting, coaching, conversations, meeting new people, any time you want influence! I hope that you find some value in this as you look to grow! God Bless! 

It's the beginning of the year and hopefully by now we've all made our goals and committed them to paper. Check out the previous episode if you have not done so! One thing I'm reflecting on, 'Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away: behold the new has come.'  In this new year, we all have the chance for a new beginning.  Most of us could use a new beginning in the area of our health.  It's the Number 1 resolution that people make, and 92% of those end up failing. This is here to help get your health and fitness goals off to a strong start, so that you will get momentum in achieving the results you deserve.  We'll go over 3 things you need to acknowledge to get rid of overwhelm and get your mind in it.  Next we'll go over some specific things you can do in the gym and with your nutrition to maximize your results as fast as possible! Cheers

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!   As we get closer to the New Year, I'm really excited to provide you with a framework for designing the life you want next year.  This will be the end of New Years resolutions, the end of goals left unaccomplished.  This is for those of you who have goals that you really want to accomplish, and willing to take out an hour to go through this process and get the clarity and juice to follow through and get the life you're looking for. First, we have to clarify our priorities. Clarify what is important to us in our lives and get rid of the tunnel vision that resolutions often come with. Second, form written smart goals around these priorities. Specific, Measurable, and deadline keyed goals that are WRITTEN DOWN! Third, make sure you put them in the discomfort zone.  Nothing great ever happens in the comfort zone. Fourth, get clear on your motivation.  Why does this matter to you? Figure it out, and commit it to paper.  You'll never short

In this episode, we tackle the stress that the Holidays bring to many people's lives.  The real reason that we feel stress during this time is because the pressure is notched up in every area of our life.  We literally feel as though we don't have enough time to get every thing done that we need to, at the quality that we expect.  If we can master the 3 skills of time management, we can create the mastery we need to remove this source of stress in our lives! We also go through my process that I've used many times to pull myself out of the weeds.  It is rooted in the idea that before we come up with our to do lists, we need to figure out and get clear on the result that we're looking for in a specific area of our lives.  What do we want, why is it a must, and only then what do I have to do? Once we master this framework, and the skills of time mastery, we will remove the most stressful part of most people's lives!

This session of Crush Your Commute, we start up getting some housekeeping out of the way.  We'll go over my general mission for the value that we're looking to provide, as well as some initial thoughts on the format.  I'll end with my ten day challenge, which has provided a lot of value in my own life.  I hope it will for you too!
