    How To Embrace Kindness As The New & Evolved Narcissism

    How To Embrace Kindness As The New & Evolved Narcissism

    For some reason unknown to me, narcissism is the new label slapped on anyone we feel is being selfish. And yes, I’ve had it attributed to me. And I feel it about others as well. In an article from the Center for Neurocognitive Excellence, they way a simple definition of narcissism would be an over-preoccupation with ourselves or being overly desirous of the praise or admiration of others to the extent that it negatively impacts our relationships. I’ve not met anyone who doesn’t display these tendencies from time to time. But if we really want the praise or admiration of others, but want to positively impact ourselves most, and positively impact others, we’d choose kindness. It proves to be the ultimate weapon. Drive with me a moment to explain how you can serve yourself best, from getting praise to making more money to finding more romance, by being kind.

    3 Levels Of Thinking For Your Personal Evolution

    3 Levels Of Thinking For Your Personal Evolution

    We are born into this world and we just take it in. It’s all we can do. We’re brought up and told what to do. Sent to school to learn the basics and pass tests, then on into the world to maybe get more schooling then ultimately get a job and pay the bills. The average person pursues little learning and growth as they just churn through life. Now, that’s not you or you wouldn’t be here listening. And by being here I know you have engaged with the first level of thinking. But what about level two? And further…level three? You don’t achieve them naturally. And you don’t arrive at them and you’re done. It’s a daily, intentional effort. Drive with me and let’s get them in front of us and working for us.

    Robin Sharma | 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life

    Robin Sharma | 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life

    At the beginning of my book, What Drives You, I define drive as a strong energy and determination to achieve a goal or satisfy a need. To be rich is to be plentiful and abundant. You could say that sums up our drive. We want to be plentiful and abundant in many things. I’ve never met anyone who says they want less money. I’ve never met anyone who says they want less personal growth, or wellness, or less good relationships. Or less purpose or time or less great adventures or experiences. But all of us have areas where we don’t feel as plentiful and abundant as we desire. Think about it, are you ok if in one year, nothing in your life changes? Nothing grows and improves? You’re good as is. For the next year. Or three years. I don’t think you’d be listening to this show if that was the case. Yes, let’s be grateful and content with today and all we have! Let’s be at peace. But part of my purpose is to grow, so absolutely, I have areas where I want to increase my riches. Thus I bring you, Robin Sharma. Every month over 30 million people follow Robin’s teachings. He has multiple #1 global bestsellers such as “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.” It was his bestseller “The 5AM Club” that brought him onto my show four years ago. Robin’s new book is THE WEALTH MONEY CAN’T BUY: The 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life. Robin works with a lot of billionaires and celebrities who have achieved the greatest levels of monetary wealth and status. And, who are not happy. Yet if you’re living paycheck to paycheck you may happily trade places with them. But it’s an interesting question. Would you? Would you take a million or a billion dollars if you had to trade it for riches in other areas? What good or fun would it be? But there are just as many people, if not more, who have achieved great success monetarily, because they pursued success and riches elsewhere. Who do you want to be? Find his new book THE WEALTH MONEY CAN’T BUY: The 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life. Now listen in for some simple and profound insight from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.

    Why AI Is Causing A Need For More Coaches, Guides, & Leaders & How You Can Capitalize

    Why AI Is Causing A Need For More Coaches, Guides, & Leaders & How You Can Capitalize

    If you are listening to this show, I can confidently know you desire to positively influence other people. This is what real leadership is, whether it’s as a parent, friend, employee or business owner. As you’re about to hear, AI is taking over much of the knowledge work that has fueled our economy and workplace for so long. But what it does is open the floodgates for…guides. Leaders. Coaches. I’m joined by Tom Ziglar, CEO of Ziglar and proud son of on of our world’s greatest and most beloved leaders, Zig Ziglar. Tom and Ziglar have devoted themselves to equipping coaches. The business of coaching is in high demand and as you’re about to hear, is gearing up to explode. Tom discusses how we left the muscle economy for the knowledge economy. And now as AI moves in, the emphasis now goes to the heart & wisdom economy. The asset will be connecting with people and guiding them amongst all the questions and options of life and business. So tune in and learn what the opportunity is. We don’t address it till the end of the show, so I want to point out, Tom, Howard Partridge and the Ziglar Family are hosting the 2024 Ziglar Coach Summit on May 30-31 in Dallas, TX. They have some of the most incredible coaches there to invest in you, including Carrie Wilkerson and Donald Miller. I highly encourage you to jump over to Ziglar.com/coachsummit now and consider attending.

    How To Progress With The Weaknesses & Limitations You Truly Have

    How To Progress With The Weaknesses & Limitations You Truly Have

    When I’m interviewed on other people’s shows about drive, often the first topic they’ll bring up is my claim that everyone has drive. Further, that everyone has just as much drive in them as anyone else. When I explain it, everyone agrees and accepts this new revelation. However, in this space of self-improvement, I bristle at the concept of “no fear” and “no limits” and “no excuses.” This is the perception I embraced as a kid and took into my life. It was great as a pro cyclist where you push yourself past your limits. But overall in life, to disregard the truth of our weaknesses and limitations is foolish. I know. I have been a fool so many times. In my recent show with Harvard and MIT professor Jeff Karp, his story starts with tremendous difficulties as a kid in school. They wanted to hold him back in 2nd grade. His grades were terrible. He was labeled a troublemaker. He was embarrassed by teachers in front of his class. What I appreciate is he didn’t just justify all his issues. He accepted them and said, “Yes, I really have trouble with my attention and how my brain does and doesn’t work.” And he didn’t justify it with his ultimate success as an Ivy League professor. He just took it all scientifically and spiritually and said, “Hey, here are some tools I figured out that can help you, like they helped me.” We do have personal weaknesses. We do have limits. We do have things we will always struggle with, and they do matter. Drive with me a moment and let’s talk about how we can progress and succeed anyway. With growth, grit, and grace.

    Two Small Shifts To Make Getting Off The Coach & Doing Something So Much Easier

    Two Small Shifts To Make Getting Off The Coach & Doing Something So Much Easier

    Think about all the “shoulds” in your life. All the things that come to mind that you should do, and that feeling of, “ugh”. And the feeling of, “I know I should, but…” and there is a list of things to do you don’t even have conceptualized. It just feels like a lot. And it can keep us stuck there. Idling in park and not driving…anywhere. Driven, but stuck. This happened to me the other day and I tried something that worked. Then low and behold the very next day the concept was scientifically defined for me by Harvard and MIT professor Jeff Karp as we talked about the message in his new book, LIT: Life Ignition Tools: Use Nature's Playbook to Energize Your Brain, Spark Ideas, and Ignite Action. The concept is called “lowering activation.” Drive with me a moment and I’ll unpack it so you can use it too.
