Pulling The Trigger
Pulling The Trigger! You’re up to bat… Have two strikes on you… You’re suppose to protect the plate by at least fouling off a ball that’s close to being a strike, yet you still freeze at that beachball of a strike which floats across the middle of the strike zone……. Why does one freeze and fear pulling the trigger? Whether speaking upon a tough subject…. Asking someone out on a date…. Or changing your direction in life towards a passion or dream, all of our fears are different as to why we don’t pull the trigger. It’s time for each of us to figure out why we won’t take action,…

Tell Your Story: Healing and Connection
Tell Your Story. In this latest solo shot episode, I was inspired by a recent post by a former guest of our podcast Danny Page. In a very short period of time, he has had a profound impact of my life and journey within my own personal development. His recent post inspired me to share my perspective on why it is so vital for all of us… and especially YOU… to tell your story. I truly believe that each one of us possess a power and obligation of leadership in telling our story to the world. For I in that telling, you are able to both heal and connect with…

Rewards Are Great If One Succeeds…..
“Rewards Are Great If One Succeeds….But Rewards Are Great Only Because So Few Succeed!”~~ The Greatest Salesman In The World This morning I decided to dive back into this easy but powerful read written by Og Mandino….and after having read this and underlining it, I sat on these words for some time. What is it in life which we consider ‘rewards’? What is it in life which we feel we’ve been rewarded for our efforts, yet truly looking at the so-called ‘reward’, we are unfulfilled? It might be that the reward we felt we earned never caused us to grow because we played it safe. Here are a few kickers…

Sincerity: Are You Truly Connecting?
Welcome back to the podcast and Eddie and I certainly hope your Thanksgiving holiday weekend was full of laughs, great food, friends, family and relaxation. Now we’re back with another solo shot episode. And it’s time to ramp up our sincerity. You see more and more it seems that our level of connection with one another is fading away. With the speed of social media and technology, sincerity seems to be sacrificed for a thumbs up, an emoji or a catchphrase. And to be blunt, this lack of sincerity bums me out. You see I believe that expressing sincere and heartfelt feedback, appreciation and love is what connects us at…

Quotas!
Quotas! Well, now that Thanksgiving is over and so many of us are “thankful” for our families, friends, and whatever else we post on social media….how many of us are truly grateful and appreciative on a daily basis? You know….flowers, chocolates, a card, and dinner on Valentine’s Day! Support the Veterans and troops on Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day! Or showing up to church one day out of the year for Christmas! If this sounds familiar, how do we change this attitude of meeting a “quota” of thanks for days like yesterday, gifts to show our love on a certain day in February, as well as thanking a Veteran or…

Stepping Into Your Strength!
Stepping Into Your Strength! Or as my partner says…..Walking Into Your Wheelhouse!! You see, we are all gifted with something that separates us from many. This gift at times is brought about in a ways we would never want to learn as much as we know. Personally, I have overcome a moment in life as I sat in my bedroom as a grown man and father to two children…..tears, fear and hopelessness filled my heart as I sat on my bed with a Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge inserted into my mouth as my finger began pulling on the trigger. On top of this, I have dealt with over 15…

Guilt, Gratitude & Facebook Memories
Managing guilt… boy oh boy has this been my wheelhouse for decades. In today’s late breaking Monday Madness episode of The Mindset Mountain Podcast, I share how the Facebook memories video below triggered a range of emotions. You see during the holiday season, especially Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve… we all tend to reflect back on what might have been. Or in my mind, what SHOULD HAVE BEEN! ARGH! I’m sure most of you listening reading this fully understand the ugly gut wrenching pain of trying to do your best at managing guilt over dreams not fulfilled. I got to face that type of situation down front and center…

Demanding Of Others
Demanding Of Others! All of the inspiration of this goes to Eric Thomas, otherwise known as E.T. The HipHop Preacher! The question is how demanding of others are we, rather than hold the expectations or demands of ourselves? Don’t You Dare Fail Me! Don’t You Dare Let Me Down! My Expectations Of You Are High, So Don’t Lose My Respect! Does any of this sound familiar? Your Success Is Dependent Upon You And Your Actions Hold Your Self Respect At A Higher Level Than That Which You Hold On Others Critique And Dissect Your Life And Actions, Rather Than Continuously Critiquing Others Show Others How It Is Done, Rather Than…
