This is the first of a 5 part series of videos on how to change your thoughts to change your life. I got inspired to create this series of videos after speaking with some entrepreneurs and taking action on creating a group called: Mind Power for Entrepreneurs.

The Mind Power for Entrepreneurs Group is a group I created to share strategies, techniques and information that will help small business startups and entrepreneurs influence their mindset and use the power of their mind to overcome obstacles, achieve their most ambitious goals and ultimately experience their greatness.

WARNING: Don’t even think of Filling the Void Until You…

March 17, 2010 | 1 Comment


I remember working as an engineer.  I had just graduated from University, started working and thought, “this isn’t any fun,” because it wasn’t.  It was work. Not fun.  But I assumed that having a job and making money would make me happy.

Boy, was I wrong.

Even though I worked as an engineer for seven years and made good money, all that time I knew that something was missing…

…but what?

Filling the Void

When you want something – a job that you love, a successful business, a new car – it doesn’t matter what it is – you expect to DO certain things in order to HAVE what you want.

DOING comes before HAVING.

Makes sense, right?

Here are a few examples:

  • you take action and prepare a killer resume (DOING) so that you can have a job that you love
  • you take action and create an excellent business plan (DOING) so that you can have a flourishing and prosperous business
  • you take action and go to several car dealerships (DOING) so that you can have the perfect car

Nothing too shocking about that.  It takes action to get what you want.

What happens for some people is that they take action perfectly – and some of them even get what they want, but still find that they’re unhappy.

Why?

Be-Do-Have Paradigm

There is this paradigm that’s called the BE-DO-HAVE paradigm.

Maybe you’ve heard of it.

This is how it works.  If you want to HAVE something, you must DO something first. Doing comes before having as I mentioned earlier.

That’s obvious, but here’s what you may not have known.

It’s that BEING always precedes DOING. That means you must first be a certain way before you ever do what’s needed so that you can have what you want.

The Best Way to Treat the Most Common Limiting Belief

February 24, 2010 | 3 Comments


One of the most common limiting beliefs is not a global belief about others or the world around us. It has nothing to do with what we think about how the world works or what other people think about us. It’s a belief about ourselves.

It’s an idea that we held in our minds and in our hearts when we were very young. It started out as “I’m not smart enough,” or “I’m not worthy enough,” and eventually evolved into a strong opinion of ourselves that says, “I’m not good enough.”

This belief is one of the most common limiting beliefs. It comes from a lack of self respect and recognition for who we are as human beings. It comes from a lack of appreciation for who we really are and it comes from a lack of understanding of our power to create our lives deliberately.

So how do you get around it?

You get around it by first realizing it has control of your life. Every person everywhere at some point in time has had this limiting belief. Even the people who are real superstars have at one point believed they weren’t good enough.

But instead of acknowledging this belief they decided to combat it with a belief that says, “I’m better than that.” Even this belief has it’s roots dug deep into “I’m not good enough,” and having to prove that they are good enough. You can’t escape it by proving that you don’t have the belief. The belief is still there, you just haven’t acknowledged that it has a grip on you. Denying this belief is not the solution.

So what’s the fix?

There is no fix and there is never anything that needs fixing. There is only tuning and adjustment. You want to think of yourself as a super car like a Ferrari.  You are perfect in every way, but you just haven’t learned how to get yourself out of first gear.   You’ve got six gears, but you just only learned how to ride in first.

3 Keys to Living a Purpose Driven Life

February 1, 2010 | 5 Comments


Living a purpose driven life is the last thing on your mind when you’re doing work that adds very little meaning to your life.  When I used to work as an engineer it used to make me feel tired. I remember working a normal 40 hour work week and feeling exhausted by the weekend. I was completely drained and I could barely find enough energy to go and play hockey on Friday nights.

On Saturdays I would sit in front of the TV and completely veg-out. I felt like a complete vegetable. I remember sitting in front of the TV on those mornings and thinking, “there has got to be more to life than this.”

I did that for years, sitting there like a vegetable on the couch wondering to myself, “What was I supposed to be doing? Why wasn’t I happy? Why did I feel that I had to pretend when I was at work? And why was everyone else pretending?”

It was at this point that I knew engineering wasn’t for me so I started to share it with people.  I told my friends. This was back in 2005.  We were all hanging out and getting wasted in my buddies garage.  I remember saying, “I hate my job.  I don’t even know why I’m there.  I’m wasting my time doing something that doesn’t even make me happy. It’s like I’m living a lie.”

My friends would laugh when they heard that,  but I don’t think they were laughing at me.  I think it was in reaction to what they saw in themselves; recognition that they too felt that their life was empty and meaningless.

During those talks in the garage I realized that other people were unhappy and that I wasn’t alone.  In fact there was a part of me that realized that there was more to life than working, getting wasted and watching TV.  There was a real part of me that felt my life had meaning and I was here to do something special.

Those talks with my buddies in the garage really helped me because I started be honest with them; and more importantly, I started being honest with myself.

This isn’t the easiest thing to do.  To let it all out and admit to the world that you don’t have it all figured out – that you don’t have your life together. That maybe in fact, you’ve been pretending that everything was ok, but deep down you knew that it wasn’t.

Exposing yourself like this is probably one of the most difficult things you’ll ever do – to share yourself openly, freely and let the people close to you know how you really feel.

But you know what’s even harder?  Pretending to be something you’re not.  Pretending to be happy when you’re not. Pretending to be someone that you’re not.  That takes so much more energy and effort.

If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “there has got to be more to life than this,” or “what am I here for?” then follow these 3 keys to living a purpose driven life:

3 Keys to Living a Purpose Driven Life

Key 1: It’s not about you, it’s about your contribution.

Living a purpose driven life means making a contribution.  This in itself can be a hard one to swallow; more for some than others.  The way to live a purpose driven life is to realize that you’re here to contribute something, to bring something to the world.  You’re here to contribute and make the world a better place.

You can’t just sit at home in your pajamas and expect the world to have a sense of purpose and meaning. Just because you don’t enjoy what you’re currently doing doesn’t give you a reason to do nothing.  There is something that you’re here to do.  George Patterson once said,

“…we came from some place and we’re going some place – so we should make our time here an exciting adventure.  The architect of the Universe didn’t build a stairway leading nowhere.”

The Key to Happiness

January 18, 2010 | 4 Comments


Happiness is an inside job.  We all know that, but sometimes our actions tell a different story. You just have to look at the way people act to see what they’re thinking.

If you pay close attention to what brings many people happiness you’ll soon realize that it’s based on what’s happening in their outer world.  The logic being that having things a certain way on the outside will make them happy on the inside.

At least that’s what we’re taught.   Just think about when you were very little.  The ice cream man showed up and you were filled with delight.  Santa delivered those presents on Christmas Eve and you were ecstatic. When you got what you wanted on the outside, you were happy on the inside.  The stimulus created the response.  The having created the happiness.

A great number of people still do this. I heard a friend of mine once say, “We just can’t get things to click, but when she’s happy I’m happy.”  It’s no crime to be happy for others, just don’t make it a habit to rely on outer circumstances to create your own happiness.  If you can only find happiness when others are happy around you then It’s a sign of attachment.

Realize this: being happy is your job.  It’s job #1.

The whole problem with “having to create happiness” is that you’re relying on outer circumstances to be absolutely perfect. But what if they’re not perfect? Then what? Are you going to wait it out until it is? And what if it’s only perfect for a few hours or even a few minutes? Are you only going to be happy for a few minutes and then go back to feeling miserable?

It’s craziness if you ask me.   You never want to rely on your outer circumstances to create the way you feel. Start training yourself to be happy right now without needing to have everything perfect on the outside.  Start from within. Here are 5 questions to get you started so that you can bring more happiness into your life.

Is Your Mindset Holding You Back? 5 Ways to Find Out

December 14, 2009 | 8 Comments


With goal setting or achieving anything at all, bumps are bound to come up along the way.  Your mindset can get in the way at times because your subconscious doesn’t always agree with what you consciously want.

“One reason why people don’t achieve their goals is because they don’t know what part of them choose the goal.”  ~ John Kehoe

The best way to keep things smooth along your journey to greatness is to start by recognizing the great trickster that triggers these speed bumps.

Here are 5 ways to recognize when your mindset is holding you back:

#5: Lots of Reasons and Excuses show up.

Excuses for not doing what you know you should be doing, but still aren’t doing.  Maybe you’ve had a goal to lose weight. You know there isn’t any “secret” to losing weight.  The real secret to losing weight is to get your butt to the gym and stop eating so much; but following through takes more than will power – so you never bother to go.

If your mind is making up excuses to stop you from doing what you know you should be doing, then recognize that this is the great trickster at work.  That mass of molecules between your ears doesn’t like change – so it’s going to do whatever it can to trick you into staying the same.  Just ask yourself who’s in really in control: you or your mind?

#4. Lack of Consistency or Self Discipline.

I’m not a big fan of the world “self-discipline” because in my opinion it implies that self-discipline is work and it really isn’t. Self discipline just requires thinking.

It means thinking about what you want and then going out and doing what’s necessary to get it.
