CASE STUDY: “I want to work for _____.” (insert well-known comany: Google, Apple, Linked-In)
50 (per) Cent Part III – QUIT IT
Let’s recap:
1. Half-Assing (giving 50%) is a plague in our society – you and I both know when we are doing it and it’s time to freaking stop.
2. When you catch yourself giving 50%, the first step is to EXPLORE why it is happening.
Deep down, underneath all the layers, I believe it comes down to a personal worth [...]
50 (per) Cent Part II – EXPLORE IT
Yesterday we discussed a huge problem in our society: when you or I give 50% of what we are capable of (hence the allusion to my friendly, rapping friend – 50 Cent.)
We also determined that just ‘trying harder’ is not the answer. Nor is trying something new… a new Daytimer, book, system, meditation, or guru might help [...]
50 (per) Cent
When you see it, you just know… something is missing.
Trying to figure out exactly WHAT is missing (and more importantly WHY it’s missing) is brutally hard.
Like a clever chameleon, WHAT and WHY easily evade your attempts to capture, tag, and cage them for display at the local zoo.
But there they are again… and again… and [...]
Meditation is weird. Try AQ.
The word meditation is loaded with strange feelings for me and a lot of the men I Coach. It seems mysterious and hard to get a firm grasp on:
How do I mediate?
Why should I meditate?
Where do I learn to mediate?
How should I feel afterwards?
How do I know if I am doing it right?
How do I quiet [...]
What Do You Want?
What is the thing that you most want in your life right now?
Why are you not going after it? (Answer without providing a long drawn out story or excuse.)
You need to be doing this – do not waste another day.
The Man-List
I hate Journaling. Not because I don’t see value in it – it has always been something I have WANTED to do but could never complete consistently.
I am torn – I highly value reflection and keeping a record of what is happening in any given moment so that I can review and revisit later.
But journaling [...]
The 2nd Hardest Thing for a Man to Do
Live in the Present Moment – right here, right now. Not in the past – thoughts of guilt, shame, or regret. Or in the future – thoughts of fear, anxiety, or worry.
What’s #1?
Admitting that he cannot do it all on his own and asking for someone else’s help.
What’s #3?
The discipline to take action on an [...]
I QUIT!
Today, I quit my job in order to pursue Life Coaching and Writing for Young Professional Men full time.
WOW! What a FEELING! Today is a day I will never forget.
The moment when I hit the send button on my resignation e-mail (my boss does not work in the same office as me), my heart was [...]
What Stops You From Helping Others?
I know what it is for me… getting too caught up in my own little world:
What am I going to eat today?
When am I going to go to the gym today and what will I do?
How can I reach my goals today?
How can I complete items on my to-do list today?
See what’s missing here?
YOU.
Specifically, what [...]
