Personal Growth

You Are Good Enough [Video]

10 Comments / Blog /

We finished up the Q&A Series a couple weeks ago and today we’re starting a new video series straight from your feedback on the reader survey! Thank you for the incredible questions, comments and ideas!

Do you ever struggle with the feeling that you haven’t achieved enough or accomplished enough? It’s not a question of “Am I good enough?” it’s an absolute feeling of “I am not good enough.” Clear it out of your mind. The truth is, YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH!

Take a few minutes and make three columns on a sheet of paper:

1st column: Write down every person or situation that has made you feel like you aren’t good enough. This will help you gain perspective on where the feelings came from. We’re not making monsters or victims.

2nd column: Write down everything you’ve achieved or accomplished in life. This is difficult. Take time to discover what these things are. We’re terrible at celebrating our victories.

3rd column: Write down a list of people that you’ve possibly made feel like they aren’t good enough. We’ve all done it. Pick out a few people that you’re going to talk to this week and let them know that they are good enough.

If you can never be satisfied with what you have achieved, you’ll never be satisfied with what you do achieve.

Today, come to a place of understanding that you are good enough!

Question: How have you affirmed or encouraged people on your team?

They Should Teach This In School!

12 Comments / Blog /

In today’s post I answer a question from a podcast listener about personality styles!

Hi Chris. Thanks for the podcast. From your teaching, our team is reading “Good to Great” by Jim Collins. We’re exploring questions like the following:

  1. What are our collective strengths?
  2. What are we collectively passionate about?
  3. What services are demanded by the market that utilize our strengths and passion?

Please know we appreciate you, your team, and your teaching.

I had a quick question regarding personality styles. My wife is a college professor. We enjoy teaming up to support professional educators. Do you feel that the teaching of the DISC profile can help professional educators in high school or college?

Thanks for all you do! – Michael Prosario

Great question, Michael! First let me say Good to Great is VITAL for team wins and business growth! So good choice with that one.

As for understanding DISC helping teachers…

4 Ways To Help You Let Go

33 Comments / Blog /

For many people, letting go of hurt, anger, pride, and the past is more difficult than watching Gigli. While others are able to shake bad things off, or look at everything with a fantastically positive attitude, most people struggle to just let go.

And when you see someone who seems to be mad or negative about everything, it’s usually not everything they’re mad about. It’s from something much deeper that’s been buried inside for a long time.

Over a third of the leaders and entrepreneurs that I coach, have connected some of the issues in their business with something that happened in their childhood or relationship, or lack there of, with their father.

When leading people through LifePlan, I spend time working through the big turns in someone’s life, not the big crazy experiences, to discover why they are where they are and why they make the decisions they make. Having this information is the beginning of what I use to lead them to the life they actually want.

In all situations, letting go becomes key. Now, as I say that, there are a ton of friends or spouses out there that always say, “I told you that you needed to do that”. Here is what I can promise you – it doesn’t matter how many times you tell someone what’s wrong with them, or what they need to do, if they don’t ever get to the root of the issue, they’ll never be able to “let go.”

Obviously I can’t go through two days worth of info in this post, but here are some things you can do right now to help you let go:

    Dinner with Crystal Paine – Q&A Series

    13 Comments / Blog /

    So many times as leaders, message bearers or speakers, we’re so concerned about how we’re delivering our product, pitch or speech that we loose sight of who it’s intended for – the audience! We tend to focus on what they’re thinking about us instead of how they’re receiving the information.

    Crystal Paine is the genius entrepreneur, mother and home economics multi-tasker behind MoneySavingMom.com. She’s also the author of The Money Saving Mom’s Budget. We had a great conversation about being message bearers and caring for our audiences (this could be your customer, your team, followers, etc.) and I’m sharing those thoughts with you in a new Q&A Series video.

    Parenting As A Leader

    37 Comments / Blog /

    It’s difficult enough to be a great leader of people you don’t live with, but being a great leader of those you love, and are your family, is really hard to do.

    There is nothing more important than your family.

    Your business is not more important, your friends and neighbors are not more important. When it comes down to it, outside of God, family is the most important thing in life.

    Being a parent and a leader is tough. Parenting as a leader can get confusing as well. Do you lead them like the people you do at work? Do you lead the people at work like you do your family? What’s the right way to do it? Here are 4 ways to be successful as a leader and as a parent when it comes to your children:

    Do You Know What God Has For You?

    43 Comments / Blog /

    In the next week and a half I have three LifePlan’s that I will be conducting here at my house. I can truly say my LifePlan absolutely changed my life!

    It gave me clarity in areas that I hadn’t had in a very long time…if ever. The great Tom Patterson put it this way –

    “God has a plan for your life.
    In creating who you are, God
    simultaneously built into your life
    what you’re to do. When you
    discover His intent — and fully
    embrace His design, His plan, His
    master-thought for you — you will
    be able to live the life you were
    meant to live.”

    Doing my LifePlan not only helped me to discover my purpose in life, but it also helped me to eliminate…
