There is an over abundance of information that exists within the self-help industries and in general online. The successful say do this, the top 10 ways to be greater, the number 1 thing to do if you want more happiness. Here is my thought, like anything in life, you have to do what works for you.

There are timeless practices, behaviours and bits and pieces that may be beneficial to us all, I can accept this but to say that what works for me will be a fool proof plan for living the life you desire is rubbish.

Be open, curious and be willing to try things out but ultimately always do what works for you. Enjoy this thought and leave me your comments below.

If you are interested in finding more freedom, fulfilment and happiness in your life take the opportunity to jump on the Discovery Call. Valued at $250, this is a one on one coaching session to help you define your hidden why and discover the action steps to getting your there. 

Choose Yourself! by James Altucher

Written and Narrated by Leigh Martinuzzi – originally published Aug 15, 2014

James Altucher is a quirky dude. Operating under many tittles, Hedge Fund Manager, Entrepreneur, Venture Capitalist, Author and Podcaster, I appreciate him for his unique perspectives, ability to think outside the box and his way of vulnerable self-expression. With over 20 books under his belt, this is perhaps one of his more popular ones with a title that has a nice hook – who doesn’t want to choose themselves, be happy, make millions and live the dream?

Summary

After leaving his corporate job Nick immersed himself in the world of thought leadership in the areas of personal and spiritual growth, creative expression and inspired business and leadership. Initially he did this through his involvement with Alternatives at Saint James’s in Piccadilly where he got to meet and host many of the leading voices on the planet. Then he began to find his own voice and thought leadership through speaking, coaching and ultimately writing.

His thought leadership has been born out of his own personal experience, struggles and triumphs. As he has pioneered in his own life in the areas of work, success, power, inspiration, creativity, entrepreneurship, fear and now leadership, he has now written about what has worked for him. (more…)

We all put off following our dreams- fear of failure is a big reason for this. But if you could not fail what would you be doing in life?

I say dream big and keep your dreams alive. Don’t let yourself or anyone else tell you that your dreams are unrealistic or impossible to reach, including yourself. The dreams I have are epic.

The truth is that as we grow into our adult hood and fall into the rat wheel of life, chasing our tails just to keep our head above water yet inevitably just going around in circles, our dreams fade. We mustn’t let go of them. (more…)

Hustle: The Power to Charge Your Life with Money, Meaning, and Momentum by Neil Patel, Patrick Vlaskovits & Jonas Koffler

To hustle or not to hustle, perhaps there is no in-between. I have my own thoughts on this word and am still not sure if I actually like it. It’s not the word itself  but perhaps the context and manner in which it is used – I think it’s too trendy and can relay an incorrect message. I share my thoughts in this book reflection.

The term hustle to me means to work freaking hard, in a forceful way, to have greater achievement. I believe that if taken too literally it may find people living to viciously in the future and therefor missing our the benefits of being present and now. I also believe that if we enjoy what we do the term loses its meaning. When you do what you love it becomes less forceful, no matter how hard or how long the hours that you dedicate to your art.

“Worthy persons deserve to be called so because they are not carried away by the eight winds: prosperity, decline, disgrace, honour, praise, censure, suffering, and pleasure.They are neither elated by prosperity nor grieved by decline. The heavenly gods will surely protect one who is unbending before the eight winds.”Nichiren Daishonin

In this episode I talk about what I have found beneficial in honing my energy and focus to complete tasks and projects. I am a creative and have a flourishing amount of thoughts and ideas that consume me. With this it’s been a challenge and still is to tame my mind and focus my attention so that I can really work on what’s important and get some closer on things I start.

It also assists me in being more purposeful so that I am not jumping from one thing to the next without any progression towards the life I truly desire to live. It is not easy but these practices help. I hope they can help you. You can read my blog post on it here – How To Remain Focused – An Untamed Mind.

Summary

After 27 years in the Real Estate Industry, she quit. Meet Jen Synder!

When she quit she became very miserable! She hated that industry, hated her mission, hated their mission. Burnt out, she didn’t feel like she was doing anything to help people. She discovered that her calling in life is to help people.

For the last year before she quit she had this idea that kept nagging at her. Thats when things changed. Now she has 3 kids and for the last 10 years has been self-employed. That means I have almost always been there when my kids need me. What if I could teach other women how to do this? How to make an income from home so they could have the flexibility and freedom to be with their kids? (more…)
