Will Your Visions of 2016 Bring You Home?
Will your visions of 2016 bring you home? That is the topic I chose to share on this Monday afternoon for you all. As some of you know, I am back in my hometown of Fortuna, ND. I’ve been spending time with my parents, my grandma and just overall relaxing and recharging the batteries. (Slept in until 10:21 am the first morning! lol) The pic below is the house I grew up in. So as I’ve been reflecting and looking back on being home this week, it brought up some interesting perspectives on the “home” within us all. The one that maybe our life path has taken us far, far…

VaNessa Duplessie: Holding the Space for Success
VaNessa Duplessie is a special type of leader folks. She has the unique ability to “hold space” for those around her in order to help inspire and lift others in their success. It is a sort of personal power that is truly a gift to those who work with her in life and business. I felt the photo below with her, Mark Hoverson and Jonathan Budd (one of VaNessa’s all time favorites pics) perfectly captures how others express their genuine gratitude for her leadership. This episode of The Mindset Mountain Podcast was such a distinct honor and treat for me as I’ve know VaNessa since 2011. She has always been…

Steve Harvey, New Year and Being Sick and Tired
Steve Harvey was sick and tired of himself. He was exhausted. He was worn down. He was worn out by poverty. He was just plain sick and tired of it all. And like the picture below states, “it’s a kind of TIRED that sleep can’t fix.” As the New Year approaches, many times these same feelings can overwhelm us. We feel like we didn’t accomplish what we set out to do in 2015. We let ourselves down, we let others down. We feel exhausted by all our efforts. We wonder…How can I WIN in 2016? Well listen in to this episode of The Mindset Mountain Podcast as I share a…

Are You Still Grateful? Your Answer Has Power!
Are You Still Grateful? This was the question I had to ask myself a couple days after this Thanksgiving. And it’s a question I feel we all need to ask ourselves daily. Am I still grateful? When everyone around us on a national holiday like Thanksgiving is being grateful for anything and everything…it’s easy to do the same. But once the warm and fuzzy feeling of that day passes…are we able to still embrace an attitude of gratitude? Especially when the day to day grind, the challenges rise up in our path. Over time on my personal journey, I can honestly say I was not grateful at all for many,…

Lol….this is a day which follows a day of giving “THANKS”…… Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all about saving some money, but where has it become more important to save money, that we’re more willing to give time and energy to such a day, when we put less value on our own lives In this episode, I don’t fully talk about Black Friday….. I talk about Moments …. Firsts…. Embracing Change…. And not only being ‘thankful’ for life, on the days we mark on the calendar as of importance, such as Christmas, Veteran’s Day, Valentines Day, etc…. So for those of…

Networking: Start Cruising, Stop Snoozing and Losing
How many times have you heard that word…networking. I’m sure you’ve also heard many times it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. (I truly believe it’s both and that’s how you gain the ultimate balance. Just saying.)

Overcoming Odds
Yes, this is the team that was a lil ‘too stupid to know any better’….. (NOT REALLY),Ha Ha……actually we were a group of young men who chose to not give up, overcoming the odds A team who chose to believe in something greater than ourselves A team who was comprised of some young men who had their asses handed to them in prior years, and chose to flip the switch. And this pic, which I’ve shared before is a pic of Atlanta, ID….a small town on the verge of becoming a town hit hard by a catastrophic wildfire. The crew I had become part of chose to not listen to…
