How Do You Achieve Your Goals When You Don’t Know What’s Next
August 25, 2010 | 6 Comments
One the biggest obstacles to achieving the change you seek is that you might not know what to do next. I can completely relate because I’ve had this problem myself. But I’ve also come up with a simple solution to that problem It’s all in my video. You’ll love it. Check it out:
Remember, focus on the feeling… that feeling of feeling awesome about attracting new clients… that feeling of putting in 100% in everything you do, that feeling of being the best you can be, that feeling that everything is going to be ok… Spend about 15 minutes generating those feelings and then ask yourself:
What do I need to do OR where do I need to go? Then take action!

Feeling Stressed Out? Try This
August 24, 2010 | 5 Comments
The last 30 days have been crazy for me. Emotionally, I feel more stressed than I have in a long time - probably more stressed than when I was writing my exams in University. But it’s a weird stress because I also have these moments where I feel super-elated; like life could not get any better than this.
I’ve really put myself out there - stretching what I thought was possible and the results are showing. This month I’ve had my biggest jump in income as a blogger/coach. I’ve already cleared $3,500 US for the month of August from this site alone.
It makes me happy to know that all my hard work and effort has paid off. The funny thing is that this has been the easiest money I’ve ever made. I remember how hard I used to work to earn $3,000 per month at my job as an engineer. There is no comparison.
It took me a little longer to get to this point than I expected, but it has been well worth it. Three years in the making, I’ve felt like giving up, but I persisted. I kept focused on my vision by asking questions like: “How can I help? How can I make a difference? How can I contribute? And the big question that ties all these together… “How can I get paid for helping, making a difference and contributing to others?”
It makes me feel proud to be a part of something that makes a difference and I know that others appreciate it too. Over the past few weeks I’ve been getting 3-5 emails a week from people telling me how I’ve had an impact on them with my blog posts and videos… and hearing that makes me feel ever so grateful.
At the same time I’ve gone through a lot of changes and at times I feel stressed. Maybe this is what T. Harv Eker talks about when he says,
“You are only growing when you are in tension. Your Intention is when you are in tension.”
I do feel that tension. Everything seems to be happening much faster than I could have ever imagined and I don’t feel grounded like I used to. Things are less predictable.
I have 50,000+ views on my Youtube Channel and I barely update my channel anymore. It seems to go up by 5,000 views each month without me really doing anything.
On Friday I reacted to a comment my mom made. I seem irritated at times.
I also got into an argument with a long-time friend of mine this past weekend. This was unexpected as we normally get along. It’s been a few days and I’m just getting over it now.
Yesterday I couldn’t see much of anything positive in my life (even though things are going great from an outside perspective). I talked it through with one of my business partners. That really helped. I realized again for the first time that nothing is ever as bad as it seems.
3 Ways I’m Dealing with the Stress
Here are the 3 ways I’m dealing with the stress:
1. Keep in Good Shape: The first way I’m dealing with the stress is by going to the gym. I usually work out three times a week. I’ve bumped that up to about 5 times a week including once a week to play hockey. This has really helped me energize and re-focus. It also gives me a break from thinking too much.
2. Become Aware of Feelings: I’ve made more of an effort to become aware of how I feel as opposed to what my head is telling me is happening. As an example if I have a feeling in my abdomen, I just notice the feeling. I don’t give it a name or label it. I just become aware of it. I focus on what color it is, the size of it and how it feels without trying to label it as good or bad. I just notice it for what it is. Most times the negative feelings I get go away without me having to “fix” anything.
3. Connect with Relationships: I’ve made an effort to spend more time with my family and friends. On Sunday I went to visit Trisha’s parents and visit a few cousins of mine. That gave me a chance to catchup and reconnect with people I don’t see very often. This also made me realize that everyone has problems - it’s normal and you can’t get rid of them. By connecting and listening with others I’ve re-discovered that the best way to overcome problems is to look for the opportunity. It’s a matter of seeing the good when there is no good to be seen.
That’s how I’ve dealt with the stress and it has seemed to help. What do you do when your stressed out? How do you de-stress?

Super Achievers: How to Achieve the Impossible?
August 17, 2010 | 10 Comments
This is for Super Achievers. Over the weekend I watched a movie called The Watchmen. It’s about a group of retired super heroes that are being attacked and asassinated by an unknown villain. The retired super heroes join forces so that they can find out who is responsible and create peace on the planet once again.
What really touched me is this idea of bringing super beings together. Something magical happens when you bring like-minded super achievers together to achieve something special.
Which super hereo do you like the best? If you were to model one super hero - one super achiever, which one would it be?
