Power of Simple With Adequate Information Is your head constantly spinning with information overload? It’s easy to do in today’s busy world. It can also be paralyzing and dream-stopping. Instead of soaking in every piece of information and confusing yourself, the secret is - 1) Know your outcome. Knowing where you are heading makes it easier to see which road to travel. 2) Commit to tossing out 80% of the noise and clutter that currently fills your day.   3) Choose to act only on information that you deem adequate. In other words, you don’t need to know everything before you start. Focus on Adequate, reasonable, practical, and adequate, detailed information. All that counts is moving closer to your Goal.

How to be Endlessly Creative Over the years, I have personally produced over 10,000 podcasts, and every one of them begins with the written word. Even though that makes my mouth and my fingers my most exercised body parts, it has also given me lots of opportunities to learn to keep my words flowing. If you're like most people, you have found yourself sitting in front of a blank screen, praying for inspiration. It could be writer's block, procrastination, or maybe you stayed up late watching Netflix. In any case, there's a simple solution to always having a starting point. Any project I need to wrap my head around begins by capturing the ideas that flow into my mind throughout the day. Even turning the radio off on a 20-minute drive can provide a treasure-trove of useable nuggets.  Next, I tuck those ideas away in a safe place, with no organizing, editing, or re-writing. I grab the thoughts out of the air, jot a note or record a memo, put them away, and let them simmer. When I'm ready to get to work, I take 15

No Permission Needed For Happiness You do not need permission to live life according to your terms. It’s okay to ask for advice and guidance. Researching your direction and path is smart. It’s even okay to persuade others to take the journey with you. You don’t need permission to be yourself and live your life.   You don’t need a big storyline.   You don’t need approval from anyone else.   You can start whenever you choose. Here’s a secret that will help you adjust your mindset. Most folks don’t care about you. They’re too busy thinking about themselves. If that’s the case, it sure seems silly to ask for permission - right? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

MAPPING Your Success Have you ever heard people preach, "Get out of your comfort zone, try new things, always stretch!"   While true, it's only part of the story. Look at anybody who has achieved goals and maintained success over a period, and you'll find: 1) Motivation. Successful people do whatever they can to get and stay motivated. It's not an occasional thing. It's an always thing. 2) Accountability. Successful people accept responsibility and ask others to hold them to their plan. 3) Planning. Successful people understand that no plan survives the first battle. They plan, work their plan, and adjust their plan until they get what they want.  4) Systemization. Successful people believe success is sequential and built level-by-level. Once achieved, it is systemized and maintained.  5) Sustainability. Successful people know that everything has an expiration date. Continuous monitoring and adjustments allow for long-term success.  I call this system MAPSS. It's all you need to get anything you want in life.

Productivity Hacks I think it’s time we stop seeking more productivity. It’s too much work! I prefer being more efficient and effective.   Here are a couple of ideas that will help: 1) Say “No” to meetings if possible. If you must, keep them short and sweet. 2) Delay paying attention to incoming communication. It’s nothing more than somebody else’s to-do list. Do your stuff first. 3) Daily interruptions will never go away. You may as well expect and plan for them. 4) Never schedule more than 50% of your day. That will give you more time for things that pop up. 5) No more multi-tasking. Finish one task before the next.   The fastest way to be more productive is to make your To-Do list as short as possible. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Time to go ALL IN Have you ever wondered how the most successful people in the world get that way? Could it be their timing is right?  Do they "know" somebody?  Luck? That's it. They get lucky! Maybe, but I think there is more to it. Every person I've ever known who achieved remarkable success did three things: 1) They recognized what they wanted and envisioned themselves living that life. 2) At some point, they commit and go all in. Their dream IS going to happen. There is no "Plan B."  3) No matter what gets in the way, they practice never-ending flexibility and perseverance. They keep going until they get what they want. Yes, it seems that you must pay a price for living the life of your dreams - and it's not money. It's YOU! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Improving Your Financial Situation  When it comes to improving their lives, most people say money is their top concern. Tony Robbins said, “Making money won’t solve all of your problems - but at least you will arrive at your problems in style.” The truth is, making more money, no matter how little, will solve most of your problems. It is also the magic juice that will fuel your dreams.  If you want enough money to create the life of your dreams: 1) KNOW what kind of life you desire. Be realistic about how much you need. 2) Making money is about adding VALUE to the person who is giving some of their money to you. They don’t have to do it. Make their life better and help them reach their dreams. They’ll happily help you do the same. 3) Set a financial goal and never lose track of it. Forward momentum is your friend.  4) Save some for yourself right off the top. Even 1% will add up over time. Plus, seeing your “profit’ will motivate you even more. 5) Stop trading hours for dollars. Once you have momentum, shift

How To Figure Out Your Purpose Over the years, the most popular question I get from the MOVERS around here is - “How do I find my purpose and face my passion?” If I were to expand on that question, it would be - “What can I do today to find my purpose and overcome the fear of living my passion?” In other words, it’s one thing to find it; it’s another thing to get yourself to do it. Today we’ll focus on finding it. In my quest to live passionately, I always follow a 5-step process for discovering and facing your passion. It has never failed me. 1) Explore the possibilities that are available to you. The more, the better. Many things will interest you, and you should be willing to allow them into your life.  2) Pay attention to what gets and keep your attention. Don’t fight the feeling. Just follow the urge to explore. 3) Deep dive into the things shoving themselves into your life and immersing yourself. 4) When you find yourself fascinated and nearly obsessed, even if it makes no sense, you are heading a new p

How Do You Feel Sessions How much better would your day be if you knew what surprises lurked around the corner? While you can’t predict everything, you can prepare for most things using “How Do I Feel Strategy Sessions.” Here’s how it works: 1) Once a month, take a few minutes and review what’s going on in your life. Your job. Your vacations. Your relationships. Your goal is to recognize what is likely to require your attention. 2) As you form your list, consider every possible scenario and expected outcome. Imagine what may happen and craft a plan for handling it in your favor. 3) When the situation arrives, remember how you decided to handle it and stay in control. Using a pre-planned response is a great way never to be surprised again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Interpret Your Calling Is the Universe whispering and nudging you to move in a specific direction?  Before I go on, I must admit that I am certainly not an expert in the Universe or it works in our life. The magic of gravity is enough to blow my mind, and the only Secret I know is that you are the only one in charge of getting what you want in your life. But what if you know that Universe is speaking to you? Calling you, compelling you to get off the sofa and do what you say you want to do? But you still won’t do it? Many years ago, I was in the habit of listening to those voices whispering inside my head and following whatever I thought they said for me to do. Eventually, after many false starts, I realized the messages were not black or white. There didn’t seem to be any particular order, and they were almost always out of context with my life. In other words, mindlessly following my feelings often ended with me not getting what I wanted, and whatever I wanted to get away from became more assertive in my li

Scripting Your Life In the world of Scott Logic, I’ve always fought my advice that said - When life is predictable, scripted, and process-oriented - BORING - life gets as excited as you ever dreamed it could be. As a guy who likes excitement in my day, you can see why I would prefer to ignore that wisdom - and I’m not alone. Still, I don’t miss it. I prioritize that way of thinking at all cost.  Let’s talk about that ‘scripted’ part of living. While I love a good spontaneous day, I’ve learned that the more scripted and predictable my day, the less stress I have and the more I get done. All that means is that I know what I’ll be doing throughout the day, when I’ll be doing it, and what time I’m done for the day. Frankly, I can usually tell you weeks in advance what I’ll be doing. Maybe that’s why when somebody asks me when I’m available for a meeting, I never need to check my calendar. I already know because everything is already in place. Next, I think you should live a process-oriented life. The best way to

Reinvent Yourself EVEN Without a Plan In the last couple of years, I made a decision that changed everything about my life. And no, when I began personal Operation Reinvention, I didn't have much of a plan. I wouldn't say I was winging it, but sometimes you have no idea what kind of plan you need. What I did have was a mindset.   I wondered -  "What single change can I make - a change that would automatically and positivity disrupt everything in my life and put me in a better place?" I followed that with… "I don't know WHAT it's going to be, but it's not going to be THAT!" While I didn't know exactly how to get there - or even what 'there' was, I knew I would recognize it when I saw it.   Goals are cool. You should use them. Sometimes, you must follow your gut, go with the flow, and figure things out along the way.   By the way, the single change turned out to be a massive rethinking of how I use my time. I create time freedom - and everything else begins to arrive. What change can YOU make that would automat

Be the Leader that Sets the Pace for Success Is your hair on fire for success?  There's a phrase that sums up what it takes to get whatever you're seeking.  "The faster the speed of the leader, the faster the pack's speed." It's a simple truth; success likes speed. It's very sexy and beautiful to others. Knowing your goals and taking massive imperfect action always speed up success.  Why? People get caught up in the belief their leaders cast. When you crank up your energy and urgency, others feel your passion and support your mission. Whatever your dreams, it is time for you to fire up your inner supercharger and get ready for the ride of your life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Transform Your Relationships with 4 Essential Steps Every day we navigate the world - which usually involves other people depending on how you process relationships, which can be good or bad. The quality of life is dependent on the quality of relationships. It makes sense that we follow 4 steps to making them great: 1) Curiosity - Everybody is curious about the people they meet. If you want to meet great people, be engaging. The more curious they are about you, the better. 2) Enlightenment - Once curiosity peaks, interest will be to grow. People want to know more about you. 3) Commitment - With more knowledge, connections deepen. 4) Action - Once you reach commitment, people become open and willing to join your world. Whether personal or business, all relationships evolve on the same path. Allow time for things to unfold.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Unlocking Your Inner Child With The Power of Anticipation I love how kids live in the moment while also getting excited about the next fun thing coming.  Maybe it’s time we all begin acting like kids again. Since you were young, special events made you so excited that sheer anticipation would drive you all day and keep you up at night.   The trick to harness the power of anticipation is to keep a steady stream of exciting moments in your future. I call this my Anticipation Engine. Keep these two things to keep in mind: 1) Your energy is dependent on getting excited about your future. Keep your list long - but not too busy.  2) Once an event passes, your excitement will fade. Enjoy the moment. Don’t rush ahead, but make sure you have something fun coming next. Living a life of anticipation gives a natural energy boost. If your life is monotonous - schedule something fun and get excited again.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

10 Daily Rules for a Happier You Every day we all jump into the craziness of life without much thought to the basic rules we use to run our day.  Here are a few of mine. You can borrow them if you would like: 1) Do what makes your heart sing. You'll always feel better when you are dancing down your path. 2) Believe anything is possible. As soon as you believe - everything IS possible. 3) Be nice to others. Expect them to do the same. No further explanation is required. 4) Believe in people and encourage their dreams. When you do, they'll return the favor. 5) Do the right thing. If you mess up, say you're sorry, try again.  6) Meet people where they are in their life and walk with them to where you both want to go. 7) Do what you say you will do. It's always better to under-promise and over-deliver.  8) Make lemonade out of lemons. Everything is fixable if you have the right mindset. 9) Keep things simple. Yup. 10) Relax. Life is short. Double yup. Focusing on life's big picture makes it easier to enjoy your d

Escaping Life's Holding Pattern and Breaking Free When I learned to fly little airplanes, my training took me into Holding Patterns.  Holding Patterns slow aircraft traffic and keep things safe. When a pilot is told to enter a Hold, that’s where they stay—flying in circles until Air Traffic Control releases them. That sure sounds a lot like regular life these days. I remember flying a Holding Pattern with my instructor. We were there longer than usual, so I asked, what is taking so long? He said, “Why don’t you call them up and tell them you need to get moving?” A few minutes later, I called ATC on the radio and instantly was cleared to head toward my destination - with an apology for the delay. I’ve never forgotten the lesson. Even in with everything that has happened over the last few years, there’s no reason to be stuck in a Holding Pattern. When you decide it’s time to get moving, magical things happen.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Discover the Power of a Personal Constitution I was on the phone with a client when she mentioned she uses a personal constitution to guide her life. She wrote the document 25 years ago and has never changed it.  She’s not very happy either. Yes, by definition, a Constitution never changes. But that didn’t stop me from asking if she had ever considered amending her Constitution. Let me be clear - Your most important beliefs and core values should not change easily or quickly. Yet, as you grow wiser, you should be willing to make adjustments based on your past experiences.  Over time, everybody updates their core belief system. It’s best to make it a conscious rather than an unconscious decision.  Is it time for the old dog to learn new tricks? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Seize Control Now With No More Waiting When you feel in control, are you happier?  I created 'Do What Makes Your Heart Sing a few years ago.' While it was about being happy, it's core teaching became my best practice. 1) Stop fixin' to get ready. If you want something, there is no reason to put it off. Could you go out and get it today? 2) Ask for help. We all need help. Millions of people are waiting for you to ask them. 3) Slow down when it gets bumpy. Going after big goals will lead you down rough roads. Those are when you slow down, stay focused, and keep moving - as fast as possible. 4) Fly it into the barn. Good pilots continue to fly their airplanes until they are safely tied down on the ground. Keep going until you get 100% of what you want. 5) Be smart—set goals. Don't argue. This one is simple. Trust and use your wisdom and instinct. Set goals to keep you reaching for what you want. Seek solutions that keep you moving. 6) Don't give monkeys piggyback rides. If you let them, other people will happily
