The Sweet Smell of Bullshit!
Laugh at adversity. Just laugh your head off at it! In this episode of Inspire the Fire Fridays, I was pretty lit up with a ton of energy after having dealt with a variety of bullshit so far this week. Small things, big things and everything in between. So I wanted to share this raw level of emotion and self-control in order to teach you how to loooove the sweet smell of bullshit. How? By understanding that it is a weak enemy. A enemy that can only shift your focus, steal your energy and ignite your rage if YOU GIVE IT PERMISSION to stink up the joint! So I wanted…

From The Dark Depths–To Taking Flight: Jaime Alexander Smith
From The Dark Depths–To Taking Flight: Jaime Alexander Smith A man can grab your attention by what he says. A man can grab your attention by his physical presence. A man can grab your attention by the displays of art and meaning of ‘his life’ ingrained upon his body through the different shades of ink. But to be a man who doesn’t grab attention, but “draws you in” by sharing his ‘shit storms’, is a whole different story. From The Dark Depths Of Life, Jaime has risen! He’s risen from the ashes of his Hell, for the reflection he sees in the mirror! He’s risen for the beautiful life which looks…

Constructing Myself
Constructing Myself These words hit home for me after watching the new Tony Robbins Documentary….I’m Not Your Guru! Think about it….how many of us are exactly who we want to be? I mean realistically, not to be Michael Jordan but knowing we don’t have the God Given skills or talents, but I mean to be excelling in all aspects of our lives. Are you physically where you want to be, considering the your body you’ve been given? Are you financially where you want to be, no matter the circumstances you were born under? How about your relationships, are you a contributor to the lives of others and do you have…

Life Is. You Are.
LIFE IS. YOU ARE. Welcome to another episode of Inspire the Fire Friday here on the Mindset Mountain Podcast. In this one I’m taking a deep dive into how we all can strive to remain an eternal student. Now you might be wondering why is today’s episode going up so late in the day? Well there is a wonderful reason for that as within these past 12 hours or so I’ve been reconnecting with myself as one such eternal student. But the thing is, it’s not what you might be thinking of when you focus on learning. You see last evening I reconnected with an old friend I hadn’t seen…

Your Philosophy: What Will Motivate You To Act?
Your Philosophy: What Will Motivate You To Act? Your Philosophy…..Your Reasons…..Your Why…..Will they motivate you to take action when you feel least motivated to act? In the book “The Slight Edge” by Jeff Olsen, the emphasis he found during his journey explain it perfect….. When we’re at the level of failure and struggle, we give it all we have to get to the point of survival. Then we get to that level, and we take our foot off the gas pedal or our routines, not realizing that the next level of success is where we want to actually get to. But that which we did to get to the level…

Hearing It Again For The First Time.
Generosity… Wednesday evening I was humbled by it’s display. You see the other evening I met up with a new friend by the name of Danny Page. A lot of you have heard him reveal his amazing transformative story on our podcast. (If you have not had the chance to listen yet, invest the time to do so here.) http://mindsetmtn.com/2016/05/31/existence-danny-page/ So we were set to meet up for some coffee at a spot up in Scottsdale. As I drove up Scottsdale Road from Tempe, I didn’t really think anything of it. I figured we would joke a bit, shoot the shit and maybe do some biz brainstorms. Well… something else…

Simple Truths
Simple Truths With all that has transpired this past week with the officers taking the lives of two black men, as well as what had become some backlash from this taking place in Dallas…..let’s say this world, especially the U.S. has sensed a great deal of tension. The truth is there are shitty people of all races….. There are horrible individuals that are both male and female….. There are certain organizations which contain a few bad seeds…… The simple truth the chaos seen has begun dividing certain individuals, based upon what is being fed to us on the outside. As I’ve personally experienced, there are always two sides, if not…

Give Yourself A Chance!
Give Yourself A Chance! Take Chances! There’s not a lot I need to write in this particular blog post for this episode. After recording it, I realized it’s in the listening to the intensity, passion, frustration and even a bit of anger in my voice that will serve you much better today. It’s an Inspire the Fire Friday episode, and this one came as a results of our very first customer Kimberly sharing a strong and simple statement in one of her recent videos on her #7dfbvc. (7 day Facebook video challenge. Check out the hashtag and see what it’s all about.) She spoke out and spoke up asking the…
