Change Your Life | Rock the World

Hi kids,

Some quick news. I wrote a new article that was just posted on pickthebrain.com called “What Are You So Afraid of?”.

It’s all about getting over your fear of failure and finally taking those all important first steps towards the changes you’ve been wanting to make.

So, yeah, it’s about what I always write about, except maybe not so poorly written this time. You be the judge. You can read it here:

I hope you like it.

Extra special thanks to Erin Falconer at Pick The Brain for posting this for me.

You may have already heard me recommending the book The Promise Doctrine by Craig and Jason Womack. Well, I figured I could keep recommending it until I’m blue in the face, or I can go straight to the source for more information.

So if you’re still on the fence about whether or not you want to check it out, I have a short Q&A with both of them that will shed some light on what their book’s all about.

Read and enjoy.

 
 
Let’s start from the beginning. Give us an overview of what The Promise Doctrine is about.

The Promise Doctrine is a guidebook and a system that readers can use to choose, manage, and accomplish what they are truly committed to, in life and at work.

 
What was your main inspiration for writing this book?

Over the years of developing our relationship with each other, we noticed that the more we kept our word, both personally and professionally, the stronger our bond grew with each other and with others. As best selling management author Marshall Goldsmith wrote in the foreword to our book, “Ethical behavior is a key characteristic of successful leaders.”  Read more...

Hey kids,

I’ve just been interviewed by Loren Gelberg-Goff on her talk show called “Loving the Life You’re In” on World Talk Radio. Our interview has been titled “Finding & Accessing Your Self Confidence”.

Here it is:

You can listen to it right there, or you can download an mp3.

We talk about a number of things in our chat, but we focus mainly on the best way to achieve your goals and using that success to build your self confidence.

I hope you like it.

I’m going to be interviewed on Friday, January 29th on a show called “Loving the Life You’re in”, which is a part of the World Talk Radio network, and it’s hosted by Loren Gelberg-Goff. I actually interviewed Loren last week. That’s right, we’re exchanging interviews. Here’s a link to my interview with Loren.

So our interview on the 29th is going to be broadcast live from 10am to 11am. Here’s a link to where you can listen:

And since it’s going to be live, you can call in during the broadcast with any questions you may have. Or you can email questions in advance. Either way.

I hope to speak to you on Friday.

I was looking through my Google Reader this morning to see what was going on in the world today, and I stumbled across an article, kinda by accident, about staying in balance when your life gets overloaded with the million things you have to do on a daily basis.

It’s on a website called ctwatchdog.com, which is actually for consumer protection in Connecticut, but here was this article staring me in the face. I read it and thought it would be a good idea to pass it along to everyone. It’s written by Cheryl Jones-Reardon.

Here’s the money shot:

“We need to make the shift from focusing on what’s wrong with life to focusing on what’s right with life. Every time you notice your attention being drawn to what isn’t going well, take a breath, and shift your attention to something that is working well.”

Very well said. Here’s the link to the full article:

There’s also information about a teleclass that she’s having soon, so if you want to ask her some questions, that might be your shot.

Enjoy.
