15 Minutes to Freedom

Greatness lies within each and everyone of us.  So why doesn’t everyone achieve it? It simply comes down to focus, or a lack thereof.  Those who approach their life with focus will push the ball forward each day. They might not make a monumental achievement, but they will always keep progressing.  When it all comes down to it, focus allows you to make the most efficient use of your time. That’s true whether you’re in the gym or the office. Today I share a story of how a marketer wasted my time, and how a small amount of focused could have changed the entire experience.   Are you looking to connect further with a group of like-mind people?

It’s likely at some point in your life you’ve heard the quote “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”  While there’s certainly some validity to this, it’s not all that concrete. You’re actually the average of the people and habits you engage with on a daily basis.  Yes, that means people you follow on Facebook, the music you listen to, the gym you attend, and the place that you work. Literally everything that touches your five senses needs to be audited on a regular basis to ensure that what you do serves you in the moment and is helping you progress.  Listen to see how I’ve approached this concept in my own life.   Are you looking to connect further with a group of like-mind people?

Given the past between Lindsay and I, I’m a bit surprised that this topic hasn’t come up before.  This actually came as a request from a client of mine who was seeking some input on how to look past or come to terms with certain aspects of someone’s personality or character.  Many of us make the mistake of trying to change someone instead of either accepting them for who they are or searching for someone that better suits our needs. Today Lindsay and I talk about approaching the topic of change in a relationship, how to spot incompatibilities, and how to focus on what brings you the most joy in your partner.   Are you looking to connect further with a group of like-mind people?
