All of the things that you believe you need in order to get started are probably not as necessary as you think.   You’ll learn as you go   Many people will focus on researching and researching with the thought that they will build when they have all the data/knowledge/skill etc.  the truth is that that time never comes.    It’s a form of stalling.   My lovely and talented wife (who by the way I’ve found is awesome with voiceovers!  She’s the voice on the LetGo Hello intro and outdo)…she is always reminding me of this.  I can easily analyze till I’m paralyzed.  I can easily busy myself on things that make little or no difference to the outcome.  Jim Rohn always talked about people who major in minors.  We spend our time on things that make little difference.  Do we really need to check our email 20 times in a day?  Why not just twice…and definitely  after you’ve knocked out a big agenda item.   Austin’s Kleon’s short read “Show Your Work”  Not mentioned, but check it out…   Have Faith We grow in the process a

This episode is about the relativity of money. This thought came from a recent conversation I had with Leisa Peterson of WealthClinic.com, but we were talking about scarcity mindset.  We were talking about how often, there never seems to be enough money no matter how much we make.  Following that conversation, I thought some more about it.  No matter how much money I’ve earned, I’ve always been able to live relatively comfortably within my means.  I haven’t always been able to buy all the things I’ve wanted, or travel wherever or whenever, but I feel like I’ve been pretty lucky.  Whenever I’ve come into extra money though, it seems that my lifestyle would quickly absorb that extra income. The other side is also true.  When I’ve earned less, my lifestyle seemed to automatically adjust to compensate for having less money coming in.  Three examples come to mind immediately. First, When I took a job as a teacher, I took roughly a $10,000 pay cut from what I was earning in the corporate sector.  Oddly, I needed mo

This is episode 7 with Dean Bokhari…the man behind the Meaningful Movement.   Dean Bokhari is highly steeped in personal development, so I was eager to pick his brain.  Dean is a masterful storyteller, so I think you’ll find his delivery and the concepts discussed both engaging and easy to relate to.  On this episode we talk about his top 5 books that he’d recommend for someone starting out.  We also talk about the power of thought, Discipline, Action, and kids soccer!  He talks about his own personal journey as he discovered a new way to live that revolutionized every aspect of his life.   Dean Bokhari is passionate about personal development, in fact, he’s created a company around personal development called GetFlashNotes.com where he condenses down personal development books in the areas of business, finance and life into bite sized chunks.  He releases the content in both audio and written formats.  The bonus is that you can consume a large breadth of work in a short span of time.  It’s really a great way

The first thing we need to do to find success is to stop looking for it.  The expression that “Success is a Journey, not a destination” has become so overly used and cliche that I hesitate to suggest it’s importance.  I was inspired the first time I heard it, but being as slow as I am to pick up on the subtleties, it’s taken over twenty years to really begin to understand what it means.  Yes, we should enjoy the journey on the way to our destination…yes, we’re often disappointed shortly after we get something we’ve been wanting, so we should enjoy the journey.  That is true, but it’s occurred to me more recently, as I’ve been starting to look at my habits and examine their consequences, that these explanations fall short.   I’m learning that the quotation above is really hinting at mindfulness.   Mindfulness is a state of being, not a state of becoming.  Mindfulness, to me, most simply means that we let go of the the trappings of regret and anxiety.  Our regrets come from the way we think about the past.  I’m
