Is it Time to Take a Talkabout?


For years, I've built a reputation for being a guy that never misses a chance for a good conversation. Sometimes I head out the door for a good old-fashion "Talkabout" - an ode to Crocodile Dundee's "Walkabout."

I'm not sure when it began, but since exploring life's possibilities is a core value, I know why; there is no better way to learn something new than striking up a random conversation with another human.

But, there are rules:

1) You must be focused on exploring and open to following whatever direction the conversation goes. No judgment. No challenging.

2) Your mouth should be open as little as possible. When you speak, everything you say should focus on learning more from the person in front of you.

3) No matter what you hear, remember that you checked your ego; you are here to listen and learn. When you feel the need to make it about you, it's time to move on to the next conversion.

Maybe I should start calling them "Listenabouts."

Are You Keeping Your Vision?


Do you have an image in your mind of what you would like your life to be - except when life gets in the way?

There's no doubt that daily life events have a funny way of distracting us from reaching goals. It's just too easy to put them on the back burner. That's why you need to become the keeper of your vision.

Every day thousands of opportunities will arrive on your path and detour you from what you want. That's why it's up to you to guard your vision by asking a simple question -

Will this opportunity move me closer to the lifestyle I desire or further away?

Simple.

Stages of Getting What You Want


Call me crazy, but I've always believed life should be simple - and there's no better way than to follow an uncomplicated structure in everything you do.

I call it MAPSS.

Motivation. Everything begins with the motivation that comes from the inside out. Know your "WHY," get excited, and get moving.

Accountability. The next step is to put benchmarks in place that allow you to keep track of your progress, providing more motivation.

Planning. Plan your work, work your plan. Never begin until you know at least your first and second step.

Systemization. Routine and rituals will make staying on your path easy. Lock in your process and repeat it unit you get what you want.

Sustainability. You build momentum in life by stacking accomplishment upon accomplishment. Never build a house of cards. Make sure you set yourself up for the long haul.

It’s easier to get what you want when you follow a map.

What's Always Included in Getting Success


There are millions of tips and tricks floating around that you can use to achieve whatever you want in life. But there are a few that are always present.

Acceptance and recognition of the desire to change are where it all begins. Anything less makes your desire only a dream.

Having complete clarity of precisely what you want will separate you from almost everybody on the planet. It will also accelerate your progress. Asking yourself, "If not this, then what?" is an excellent way to begin.

Commitment to success, no matter what gets in the way, is the only way to sure that life doesn't get in your way. Being willing to do whatever it takes is a virtual guarantee that you will get what you want.

Finally, two things are always around: taking as much action and being as flexible as required to reach your goal.

You CAN do much, but success comes faster when you focus on what you MUST do.

How To Get Lucky in Life


Have you noticed that some people seem to get luckier than others?

Have you also noticed that they are not just sitting around collecting luck?

Getting lucky is almost always the result of taking action on an opportunity that presents itself. Even finding a twenty-dollar bill on the sidewalk resulted from having the chance to take a walk - and doing it.

There are three rules to attracting more luck into your life:

1) Get in the habit of seeking and recognizing opportunities that cross your path every day. They might be hidden so keep your eyes open.

2) When you spot one, immediately decide if taking action will move you closer to your goals.

3) If your heart and soul tell you to go for it, jump in with both feet, commit to your action, and get busy turning that opportunity into the luck you’ve been seeking.

In the future, when somebody asks how you’ve been so lucky in your life, tell them that you just like to stay busy. The rest takes care of itself.
