“Curious about your thoughts on this one: Why do I feel more alive when seeking then when having the experience I want? Hope you had a killer week.”
The “Alive” You Are Feeling Is Not The Feeling Of Life
It is the feeling of adrenaline. It is the feeling generated by your body when you are running from death. Or running from life. The feeling of “alive” can only be felt in the moments when you are the most still. In those moments, where nothing is moving, you can feel the subtle turning over of your cells’ nuclei, moving and rebirthing with an internal energy. That is life. It can be felt in the space between breaths.

Co-founders have a dilemma. If their opinions are to similar, then there is no reason for the partnership. If they are too far apart, then the differences between the founders lead to a death spiral. How do you balance ‘just the right amount’ of differences?

Jena LaFlamme talks about her journey and what it takes to summon the confidence to create amazing group experiences and position herself as a leader of a movement – in this case the Pleasurable Weight Loss movement! We specifically focus on the challenge of turning a reactive art (coaching, consulting, etc. 1:1) into a creative art (coming up with content for books, workshops, teleseminars, and programs) with ease and mastery.

There are some basic ways of thinking – ways to approach your life – that can make the difference between creating the life you want and logging years of struggle. And they’re not well known. In fact, most of us have been specifically educated in the opposite way of thinking. In this candid conversation with Jennifer, Michael, and myself, we explore what we can do now to set ourselves on the right path, learning from the people who are self-made, self-educated, and self-satisfied.

Creativity is an emergent property that arises from specific conditions, and if those conditions are present and are not at risk of degrading, every person will be able to tap into creative genius. People who are considered to be more creative are those that are more able to self-generate these specific conditions. The ‘zone’ is a byproduct of these four conditions.

Some things surprised us about this call. First off, we had to get more lines because there were over 730 people registered – which felt really good. But what really amazed both Jonathan and I is that an hour into the call, less than 2% of the listeners had dropped off. That NEVER happens. I think it was so engaging because Jonathan and I have a really good rapport with each other and we just spoke naturally to each other about things that are important to us. Go ahead and listen and tell me what you think by commenting here!

I judge how well a meeting goes by what happens AFTER the meeting. Was a different path or future created because we spent time together? Just like with filtering your tasks, you can filter your meetings based on your thematic goal as well.

When you are running a business of any size, there is more to do than you have time for. I sometimes tell first-time CEOs to make a list of everything that absolutely MUST get done. Then notice that there is so much on that list that it can’t possibly all get done. The difference between a successful company and a failed one can be a matter of which “absolutely essential” things the CEO let slip through the cracks, and which actually got done. When you run your own business, prioritization can be a joke.

Spencer’s a really tough kid. Normal bumps and bruises that might send a normal kid wailing often are laughed off with a shrug. One time he fell off his new bike and scraped up his knee. He jumped up and looked at me and said, “That was funny! My new bike doesn’t know how to steer!”
So I knew right away this was pretty serious. 90 minutes later we are at the Emergency Room, and Spencer is asking about the function of everything in sight.

Gil Friend, CEO of Natural Logic says, “We are currently consuming the resources of 1.3 to 1.5 planets.” Sustainability literally means just that. The ability for us to sustain ourselves. Companies and governments have been prioritizing their own sustainability since time began.
The time is now to recognize that resource consumption is the X-factor that will determine who will survive the next epoch of capital evolution. We must focus on it now, simply because we must. The alternative is the inability to continue existence as corporations, as nations, and as individuals.

No country in the world is more enamored with its sense of manifest destiny and individual liberty than the United States, but our forefathers – whether they were venturing west through the wilderness or whether they were fighting the British – truly valued the essential nature of communal participation in our democratic society (and Alexis deTocqueville wrote quite a book observing this).

There are no points for originality in business.
Money you make doing the same thing that other people do spends just as well as money you make trying something new. Replicate other people’s working businesses. If it’s not working, replicate it more closely and carefully.
