Hi there! Living in this world is difficult, and we have had difficult experiences that have impacted us greatly. However, we can overcome when we recognize the limiting beliefs and limiting "soundtracks" that our subconscious plays. These are not who we are! These are the messages our subconscious has absorbed and we need to recognize them, understand they were there to help us survive, and know they are not needed today. Let's replace those old subconscious beliefs with a new soundtrack that takes you back to your authentic self and helps you be all you were created to be. Get in a quiet place or use headphones, take a few deep breaths with long exhales to prepare yourself, and then follow along by repeating these positive affirmations in your mind or out loud. Even better is to tap your body as you say each one. This connects your nervous system to the words, reaffirming to your nervous system and subconscious that you are safe now and can receive these words. Repeat regularly to remind yourself of who you truly are.…

My topic here today is why not me and why not you? Okay, so I put this phrase out there. I did this first on LinkedIn. I've been thinking about it, and it was like, why or why not? One word difference in those questions. Why or why not? but a world of difference! The first one questions, "Why?" "Why?" "Why?" The second one sees possibilities. "Why not?" "Why not?" I'm pondering things like this as I navigate life at 50 plus. I'm on the move globally. Currently, I'm recording this from Costa Rica on the Pacific coast in the town of Quepos. And, you know, I'm trying to find my authentic self and discovering "Why not?" is a very relevant question to ask. Full transcript available on Substack under Living It Well with Mikey G.

Words matter. Words have power. The words we say and reflect on impact our pysche, attitude, outlook and even beliefs.

So much has happened since March of 2020! 2 years later it is important to understand that there is no "going back to the way it was" any longer. The world has been through a massive shift in the last 2 years and in America, in particular, we have been through the pandemic, the murder of George Floyd and the related ongoing racial reckoning that is needed, the threat of Covid death, and knowledge of people that have died from Covid, as well as now the unjust war against Ukraine that keeps the world and global economy in unsettled territory. The future of small business work is different and will continue to be different than in 2020! There is no going back.

The complex and often confusing world of blockchain is fast expanding and getting even more complicated. The latest item to know about is called Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs). I'll dive into what they are and how you can begin to learn and get involved with this evolving market. What are Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT)? Non-Fungible Tokens, abbreviated NFTs, are cryptographic assets on the blockchain characterized by unique IDs distinguishing them from other tokens. Remember that a ‘token’ in the blockchain is any valuable asset that’s digitally transferrable between two people. However, NFTs differ from other blockchain tokens, such as cryptocurrencies, in one primary way – they cannot be exchanged or traded at equivalency. In other words, they are non-fungible. Fungibility in economics refers to the property of a good or commodity to be replaceable by an identical item. NFTs cannot be replaced by identical items. An excellent example of a non-fungible item is artwork. Every piece of artwork is unique and cannot be replicated. Therefore, a digital piece of artwork would make a valuable non-fungible token if it finds its way into the blockchain world. Why the Excitement? What Makes NFTs so Valuable? It’s simple – no one can own the asset but you! Whether it’s a piece of art or a huge moment in a game, such as the clips the NBA is selling, once you purchase the asset, it’s yours and yours alone.
