Self-doubt is a curse but self-confidence is a bad word.

In today's culture, phrases like “shameless self-promoter,” and words like “arrogant,” “cocky,” and “know-it-all” taint our vocabulary on a regular basis. Yet, every day I come across someone who needs to spit those words out of their mouth, and believe in herself.

In this episode I want to ask you,

What if you believed in yourself as much as we believe in you?

Have you ever reacted without thinking first?

How did it turn out for you?

We are not animals! As humans, we don't have to immediately respond to everything. We have a delay, between an event and our action, between a stimulus and our response.

If we're ever going to be successful, in life, as leaders and entrepreneurs, we have to gain control over, master and maximize the delay.

Ask yourself:

What if we could?

An awesome quote from the video:

Don’t start with what’s possible. Start with what’s cool, what’s right, what’s the dream-case scenario.

We don't always get the satisfaction of seeing immediate results for our actions. Often our hard work doesn't bear fruit until the very end, long after we thought it should.

Our momentum must be maintained until the very end if we're going to get the satisfaction that we're looking for. As you may have been told as a child, slow and steady wins the race.

Here are 3 things you can do to maintain your momentum:

1. Have a rigorous routine.
2. You have to pound the rock.
3. Remember the flywheel.

Sometimes all we need to do is change our perspective. By changing your perspective, a square becomes a diamond and a negative becomes a positive.

By changing your perspective, an enemy becomes a friend. By choosing to change our perspective we can change our situation and our life forever.

Life often is, a matter of perspective.

A runway allows an airplane to gain momentum. On-ramps allow you to merge with the freeway traffic. They both exist for getting us up to speed.

Runways, on-ramps and personal growth are related because:

1. All three are a build up process
2. All three require significant energy to get moving
3. All three symbolize something harder to start than to maintain
4. All three are necessary to reach our goals and to take us to new places

Yesterday, today and tomorrow are our runways.

How will we use them?

The Myth of Work-life balance, the idea of balancing your personal and your professional life and the time to devote to each, seems to be that goal that's always just over the horizon, always just out of reach.

I'm no expert and I often struggle to create a better balance.

In this episode, I share a couple of things I've worked on to assist me, as well as two ways I've worked to improve my work-life balance.

Every great business, every great achievement and every great success starts with an idea.

If you have a goal, an idea or a dream, don't let it scare you into not acting. That is my word of caution; don't be scared to dream big dreams and set lofty goals. You're not dreaming too big and you're not setting your sights too high.

But don't let the idea of what could be prevent the actions that lead to what needs to be.

I hope you're as encouraged by this podcast as I am! Once I realized that every company that is prominent in the world today once started out small like mine, a great pressure was lifted and I was even more energized than I was before.

So dream the big dream but develop a plan to reach it. Start small with a goal that is a stepping stone. Set out to lose 5 lbs before you lose 100. Read one book before you look to take on the whole library. Get that promotion before you try to take over the company. I don't want you to limit yourself because you can do anything. Remember, don't get so caught up with the championship that you forget to show up for the first game.

Set your goal, take aim and pull the trigger!

Sometimes doing the right thing is doing the bare minimum. If all we do, and all we ask of those we lead, is to do the right thing, that is often not enough. Our competitors in business, our competitors in sports and in life, are often going above and beyond.

No champion will ever say, or has ever said, that all they did were the right things.

Champions say things like,

I came in early and stayed late.

and things like

I pushed myself further than I ever have before.

Doing the right thing is simply the ticket to entry.

You have control over your life.

When it comes to making life-changing decisions, slow is the way to go.

When an opportunity is only available for a short amount of time, then and only then, can we “seize” it. I think that's also why we say, “seize the day.” We have to seize today because each day is fleeting; here today, gone tomorrow, and never to return. We have to reach out and grab life; life cannot be lived vicariously. Opportunities can be too good to be true, but the opportunity that can lead to our personal fulfillment must be seized!

So, how do we do that?

We cannot get anywhere in life by staying where we are. In order for us to succeed at anything, even the small things in life, we have to understand that we must change, adapt and grow in order to discover our true potential.

We must choose to change and grow because the alternative is the sameness of today. The alternative is insanity; doing the same things over and over yet expecting different results. In order for you and me to get to where we want to be, we first must leave where we are behind.
