Jumpstart - Patience

Over the past few days I’ve sat through several long meetings with that “one person,”-- you know the one, the man or woman who’s BUSTING to comment on everything!

Observing my reaction to these two people, I realized:

• Impatience is what’s driving them
• Impatience is what’s fueling my reaction
• Impatience is higher now than ever

In this JumpStart, we take our time unpacking how impatience drives many of our actions and how we can ….(wait for it)...RELAX >>>

Jumpstart - What’s Missing?

Yesterday, I had a long and very pleasant conversation with four people I only knew casually, and do you want to know why our conversation went so nice?

Conversely, a couple of months ago I talked to someone on a long trip and it was not nearly as fun and engaging, do you know why?

In this episode, I’ll tell you what was present in the first conversation, what was missing in the second conversation, and how to improve ALL of your conversations -- that is, if you’re interested?

Ahhhhhh…...questions, they master our brain and we need to learn to use them to prevent arguments and increase collaboration, am I right?

Jumpstart - Your On-Demand Guidance System

The other day, I was looking for something in my home and couldn’t find it.  

After searching a while, I finally remembered that I have an On-Demand Guidance System, used it, and found what I was looking for.

About now, you’re probably wondering:

• “WHAT on-demand guidance system?”
• “How do I use mine?”
• “And, what does a big book of Plato have to do with all of this?”

[Hollywood soap opera announcer voice] Learn the answers to these and other intriguing questions in today’s JumpStart>>>

Jumpstart - How to Love a Tiger

Yesterday I saw the most amazing thing on the web -- totally blew me away.

It’s a slow-motion video of a snow leopard pouncing on a deer at the edge of a cliff and the two of them tumbling hundreds of feet down the rocks below.

Throughout the bone-crushing ordeal, the leopard never releases its jaws from the deer.  It’s as if they’re one animal.

The question in today’s JumpStart are:

• Who has a hold on your life potentially dragging it over a cliff?
• Can you “Love a Tiger from a Distance?”
• Can you forgive without reconciliation?

Today, learn to forgive and to stay away from the tigers in your life >>>

Jumpstart - You’re Not Going to Land There

The great Brian Tracy says, “Anyone on top didn’t just land there.” 

I was reminded of the truth of that listening to David Spade interview Jerry Seinfeld for his podcast.

It’s so easy to think of comedians as just naturally “funny guys” and to dismiss them as incredibly hard-working and often painfully introverted souls who work their entire lives for what comics call a “tight 10.”

Discover:

• How the people who make it look easy are often the hardest-working
• How to use this knowledge to get moving on something you aspire to achieve
• What the “tight 10” is and how it must always evolve for you to grow

Steve Martin once joked, “Comedy isn’t pretty.”

Well, neither is it easy but then again, nothing worthwhile is ever easy >>>

Jumpstart - “Your Legacy”

As people age, they often consider what legacy they wish to create.

I know that when my father was nearing the end of his life, he engaged in a mad scramble to change how people would remember him (but, sadly it was too late).

Have you ever considered your legacy?

• If you died today, what will be your legacy?
• What would you LIKE your legacy to be?
• What little things can you do starting now to improve your legacy?

We all leave memories and contributions; let’s make sure the memories are loving and the contributions are positive >>>

Jumpstart - I Wonder Why

Walt Whitman said, “Be curious, not judgmental” and that’s good advice but there’s only one problem -- it’s not easy, am I right?

Judgments, on the other hand,  are all too easy!  

A judgment settles the matter in our minds once-and-for-all; wherea,s curiosity leaves things open and unsettled which can be challenging for our little brains.

Today let’s expand your brain by learning:

• Why it’s hard to “question yourself into a fight”
• How Tim Cook used questions to take apple to nearly a $2 Billion valuation
• How Ben Franklin used questions to transform his life
  
  

The measure of a growing happy person is, believe it nor, his or her acceptance of what they DON’T know>>>

Jumpstart - Radical Acceptance

One of the core concepts of DBT therapy is Radical Acceptance.

Radical acceptance breaks through the resentment and frustration of a given situation and leads to an ability to manage our emotions -- A VITAL SKILL.

Learn:

• How to accept what you except
• Why society does NOT want you to accept ANYTHING (it’s called “status quo” and it’s considered bad)
• How accepting the way things are empowers us to create what we want

To create the life you want, you have to be an energetic match for that life and you can’t get there by resenting where you are now.

Start accepting to starting growing NOW >>>
