Do more. That's what most people will tell you if you ask them, "How can I have more of what I want in life?" While doing more is certainly part of the process, it's not the most important part. Being is the most important part. Being is where the magic is. Being is your superpower. Being is where it all begins. Having more, begins with being more. I like to say that everything you do and have in life flows from your conditioned state of being. So if you want to create true and lasting change in your life, including what you do and have, focus most of your efforts on developing your state of being. But how do you do that? In this episode I share some ideas and insights, including my favorite daily practice to help you develop your state of being so you can have more of what you want in business and in life.

My guest this week is Joshua Pollock, co-author of The Heartfulness Way: Heart-Based Meditations For Spiritual Transformation. He recently spend a day in Boise speaking at a corporate event, doing interviews, and giving a public lecture. All in an effort to share The Heartfulness Way. The following will give you a little background on Joshua before you listen to the interview. Joshua was raised in Maine. As a child, he recalls spending a lot of time reading books from his parent's enormous book collection. Later in life he said he did some degree of spiritual seeking, but wasn't specifically looking for a meditation practice when he had a chance encounter with someone on the street that would ultimately lead him to The Heartfulness Way and eventually to meeting his current teacher and co-author Kamlesh D. Patel, also known as Daaji. Kamlesh later asked Joshua to write a book on meditation, and then agreed to co-author the book with him. In addition to being a Heartfulness Way trainer a

Do you sometimes wish you didn't have problems? Business problems. Life problems. Problems in general. If so, I feel your pain. Oftentimes it seems that's all life is; one giant problem.

In this episode, you'll discover: Why problems and challenges are actually a good thing, and even necessary to realizing better and better experiences in business and in lifeThe importance of looking at the human experience from a higher, more enlightened perspectiveThe genius of life and why we need each other in more ways than we can imagineOur real work here on earth (in my opinion), and no, it isn't to solve problems.

This being the 100th episode, I thought I'd devote it to sharing some of the lessons I've learned about business and life while producing this podcast over the past few years. I hope you enjoy it and that some of these lessons resonate with you. Here are 10 life and business lessons I've learned in the last 100 episodes: Have fun and enjoy the process. Every day, I become more and more convinced that joy is everything. It's our purpose, our reason for being, what we come from, what we want, and what we'll one day return to.Don't take yourself or life too seriously. Years ago I ran across a quote attributed to The Buddha. It went something like this, "Act as if the fate of the world depends upon what you do right now, while laughing at yourself for thinking so." That pretty much sums it up.Where you end up might not look like where you thought you'd end up. Our race mind doesn't have the broader perspective that our higher divine mind does. Because of this, things don't always unfold the way we think

Chances are, you've experienced the awesome power of intention in your business or your life. If you have, you already know why successful people say that setting a positive intention is the best thing you can do before starting an important task or project. In this episode I share some ideas and insights with you to help you do that more effectively. When it comes to setting intentions, I like to set them in one or more of the following ways: Write them down on paper.Speak them out loud. Visualize them in your mind's eye.Feel them as being real. These are all powerful ways to set intentions. You may find that one way feels better to you, or you may like to use all four of these, like I often do. Either way, I think you'll quickly become a firm believer in the power of setting intentions on a regular basis. Quotes of the Week: The more you say, 'I relinquish control, I don't know how to do this,' the more the energy will come in. As you get out of your own way, it will become easi

Let's talk about your spiritual altar. Specifically, how you can enhance it so it can be more beneficial and inspiring to you and ultimately help you do the work you came here to do in a better way. Putting a little time and effort into improving your spiritual altar will pay off in your day to day experience in a big way. Here are 7 things you can put on your spiritual altar to enhance it. Gods and Gurus - Include things like statues, pictures of yogis, saints, sages, rishis, monks, llamas, and other men and women who have dedicated their lives to developing their own spirituality and their connection to the Divine.Objects - Include things like crystals, gems, rocks, wood, beads, and mementos, that have significance and meaning for you.Images - Include images of nature, and spiritual or holy places, that inspire you.Incense and Candles - Burning incense or candles is a great way to begin and end your practice at your spiritual altar.Quotes and Phrases - Write down or print off some of your favori

I know what you're thinking, "Please, not another new year, new you thing." Don't worry, this isn't one of those kind of episodes. Well, not really anyway. :) This episode is me sharing a powerful principle of branding with you. A principle that can help you improve your experiences in life by helping you improve how you're perceived by the person who matters most in your life. You. That doesn't sound so bad, now does it. You may be asking, "Why does it matter what I think of myself, anyway? I don't care what I think of me. I care what my family, friends, co-workers, and boss thinks of me." Well, here's a little secret about the human experience. The world is a mirror, forever reflecting what you are doing, within yourself." ~ Neville Goddard When you start thinking more highly of yourself, lots of good things begin happening, among them, others start thinking more highly of you too. It begins within, in how you perceive yourself, and in the on-going effort you put into deve

Happy New Year. If you're anything like me, you're probably planning all the things you want to accomplish in 2019. To help you do that, I thought I'd share an awesome little book with you. It's called, It Works, by RHJ, and it's the epitome of effectiveness and simplicity. It lays out a simple plan to help you get what you want in business and in life. All you have to do is follow the instructions. In this episode I read this short book to you and then discuss it in relation to what others have suggested is the best way to make your dreams a reality. I hope you enjoy this little book as much as I do. In this episode, you'll discover: One of the simplest systems for getting what you want in business and in lifeWhy you must know exactly what you want in order to realize your objectiveThe primary cause of failure in realizing your objectiveA comparison and analysis of It Works, with other manifestation books and teachers Quote of the Week: When you can train your objective mind

We've all done it. You've have an idea or an impulse to do something that you know is right for you. Something inspired by your higher all-knowing self that will ultimately lead you to everything you want in life, including happiness, joy, purpose, meaning, and prosperity. But you back off. Instead of staking a bold claim to it, you decide to only go half-way. If this sounds familiar, in today's episode, I share 3 of my favorite reasons why you should get out of your own way, go all in, and stake a bold claim to your inspired idea so you can get everything you want in business and in life. In this episode, you'll discover: 3 ideas that will help you stake a bold claim to everything you wantWhat your real objective should be (Hint: It's not a person, place, or thing...it's a feeling)The inner support structure you'll need to develop to support the extraordinary experiences you want in life Quote of the Week: If your dreams don't scare you they are too small." ~ Richard Branson Res

(I apologize for the sound quality in this episode! :) ) With Christmas time upon us, I thought it would be a great time to talk about the power of beliefs. Truth be told, anytime is a great time to talk about the power of beliefs, because, well, they create our reality. We all know that our beliefs are the cause of the experiences we have in business and in life. However, it's easy to neglect doing the internal work of improving them, and instead work on changing things in the physical world. While there are obviously things in the physical world we can and should improve to get more of what we want in life, that's not the place we should begin. We should begin within, with our beliefs. To help you do that, in this episode I share three of my favorite insights into what our beliefs are and how they affect our experience in life. My hope is that these ideas will make it easier for you to improve any beliefs you hold that are blocking more happiness, well-being, and fun from flowing int

I mentioned this epic one-page document on my instagram feed a few weeks ago. https://www.instagram.com/p/BphY1M2g0pO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link If you've been waiting for someone (a teacher, a college, an employer, a publisher, etc.) to pick you, you'll want to get this document. In this episode I talk about the life-changing power of this simple essay and discuss it in more detail. I also tell you why I believe it's one of the most important documents you'll ever read. In this episode, you'll discover: How you've been conditioned to wait for someone else to pick you, and why it's so detrimental to your health, wealth, and success in business and in life.The nature of being an infinitely creative being.All the good things that happen when you pick ourselves. Obviously, I'm a big proponent of this idea.  But don't take my word for it.  Here's the link to download the essay and decide for yourself: Pick Yourself Quote of the Week: No one is going to pick you.  Pick yourself." ~ S

If there ever was a magic key to realizing more success and satisfaction in business and in life, it would surely be this; be yourself. Acting on this simple statement can help us unlock everything we want in life and more. It sounds simple enough, right..."Just be yourself." But in a world of conformity, being yourself can be challenging. Challenging as it may be, it's the only true way to attract everything we want, including happiness, joy, money, relationships, and peak experiences. Additionally, when we're being ourselves, we always know that whatever we do attract, it will be right for us. When we focus all of our energy on being our authentic selves, we'll always think, say, do, and create the right thing, at the right time, in the right way. It's this total and complete alignment with who we really are that is the magic ingredient we need for creating and living an extraordinary life.

The best ventures in business and in life come from the heart. That's where the idea for Sabrina Vaillancourt's new non-profit came from. After losing her dog Reilly to cancer earlier this year, she realized what a blessing it was to have so many photographs of her.

I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. If you live in the Boise area and would like to get pictures of your favorite pet, you can contact Sabrina by visiting her website or instagram pages below. 100% of the proceeds she earns from LR Squared go to local animal charities.

There are some really important factors to consider when deciding how you should spend your time here on earth. While money is most certainly important for enhancing the human experience, it shouldn't be one of those factors. Allowing money to enter into your success equation could serious cloud your judgement and cause you to make choices that aren't in complete and total alignment with who you really are and what you came here to do. This can lead to all kinds of issues down the road, the biggest being a total reset on your life. Deciding how you should spend your time, like many decisions in life, requires some serious self-introspection and the ability to pierce the shallow veil of your persona and really know yourself. In this episode I share a method to remove money from your decision making process. Quote of the Week: If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living
