47 | Seeking God First

44 Comments / Life by Design /

Today we are talking about seeking God. Seeking God first.

This topic came up during one of our team devotions. The theme of our devo was Matthew 6:33: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

What is worship?
“You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” – Zig Ziglar
You have to set aside time to spend with God
God doesn’t want fancy words…He wants your heart.
The more you seek God, the more your desires become His desires.

From Dysfunctional To Thriving

Here’s a great post by Lily Kreitinger. Lily specializes in helping leadership effectively train team members. Follow Lily at LilyKreitinger.com

I was born and raised in a dysfunctional family.

I knew this had greatly impacted my life in more ways than I even realized, and trying to better understand myself, I read the book “Living the Life You Were Meant to Live”.

While it was helpful, something was missing. I was still stuck. I needed more and realized I couldn’t get what I needed on my own.

On April 14, 2014, I took the plunge and started the LifePlan process with my friend and coach Chris LoCurto. To say it has been life-changing is a complete understatement. The two biggest learning outcomes of this experience have been:

What Jesus Didn’t Say

41 Comments / Life by Design /

Easter is a time when we celebrate the fact that we have a risen savior. One who took on the world’s sin, received the world’s worst beating, died and rose again, all so we could have life everlasting if we so choose.

Listen, What Jesus Didn't Say, Chris LoCurto.com

I’m not telling you anything that you don’t know, but sometimes the reminder causes us to reflect on how jacked up we are, while giving us just a glimpse of the unfathomable Love of God.

And while we have so many stories of God’s Love throughout the Bible, there’s one that helps us to understand that sometimes, God doesn’t tell us everything.

After Jesus rose from the grave, there was a time that He was with the disciples when He gave them this instruction (in CLo speak), I want you guys to hang out in Jerusalem and I’ll send a guy who’s going to tell you some things. (all things)

When they encounter the Holy Spirit, it was some kind of party. So here’s my question…

29 | Don’t Be Discouraged

14 Comments / Life by Design /

Do you ever feel discouraged by family or friends? I have. As I look over my life, there have been many times that someone close to me told me I couldn’t do something. There are enough things in life to challenge you, make sure you’ve got healthy boundaries with negative people.

Separate people in your life into two categories – those that are encouraging and those that are discouraging. Don’t share your dreams or goals or ideas with discouraging and negative people! They’ll just shoot you down.

Instead, surround your dreams and ideas with people that are naturally supportive…

Michael Hyatt joins me on the podcast today about his incredible new goal setting course, 5 Days To Your Best Year Ever.

You can absolutely make 2014 your best year ever but it’s not just going to happen. Making resolutions and having goals is a step in the right direction but to actually achieve meaningful goals, you need an action plan. In the Skype interview, Michael and I talk about:

  • How to write S.M.A.R.T. goals (specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, time-bound)
  • Why looking into your past can change your future
  • How to get motivated and stay motivated
  • What happens if you don’t achieve your goal(s)
  • Why you should focus on 5 to 7 goals that are career and life oriented
  • How to get off your “BUT”
  • What to do about people that don’t support your goals

How to Get to Your Goals – Q&A Series

10 Comments / Life by Design /

Before I dig into the video lesson, I have to send a huge thank you to everyone that has given survey feedback! Your responses and comments have been incredible!

Today’s video lesson is the final question and answer from this series. Jen (the wonderful host of The Iron Jen Show) asked for:



Goal setting is so much more than writing out a long list of goals and hoping you’ll get to them. You’ve got to take your overall vision or dream and break it down into steps.

  • Make the action steps attainable, think bite size pieces.
  • Break the goal into daily, weekly or monthly targets.
  • If you fall behind, catch up!

That way, you’ve got a roadmap to actually hit your ultimate goal.

Question: How do you get to your goals?
