Leadership is about creating the right environment for growth, just like a greenhouse nurtures plants. In this episode, I explore the powerful metaphor of leadership as a greenhouse—providing structure, stability, and the right conditions for people to thrive. Using my Atomic Triad framework (Foundation, Framework, Manifestation), I break down how we, as leaders, parents, and influencers, can cultivate an environment that fosters growth, psychological safety, and personal development. It’s about setting the foundation with self-mastery, building a supportive framework with clear communication and opportunity, and ultimately seeing the manifestation of growth in those around us. Just like a real greenhouse, we must also protect our environment from pests—whether that’s negativity, burnout, or micromanagement. Setting boundaries, fostering trust, and maintaining our own well-being are essential to sustaining the growth of others. I challenge you to reflect: How are you creating a greenhouse for growth in your life? Are you providing the right conditions for yourself and others to thrive? Let's cultivate a space where success flourishes, both at work and at home. #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #SuccessMindset #ThirdPowerLife Takeaways: - Leadership is like a greenhouse—it provides the right environment for growth. - The Atomic Triad framework helps create this environment: - Foundation: Self-mastery and stability. - Framework: Clear communication, opportunity, and psychological safety. - Manifestation: Growth and tangible results. - Protect your greenhouse by setting boundaries and removing negativity. - Avoid micromanagement—overwatering plants can kill them. - Encourage growth by allowing mistakes and fostering trust. - Self-care is essential; you can't pour from an empty cup. - Be intentional about creating a space where people feel safe to grow and thrive. - How are you making the world better? Be the greenhouse for others. #Leadership #PersonalDevelopment #GrowthMindset #Success #ThirdPowerLife Join the Round Table: https://www.ThirdPowerPerformance.com/round-table…
As we begin a new year, I know that many of us set New Year's resolutions with high hopes and enthusiasm. However, most of these resolutions don't last beyond a week or two. This is because they often rely on willpower alone, which can be fleeting. But what if you could make your resolutions stick? That's why I wanted to share my top 10 tactics for keeping your New Year's Resolutions. From simplifying and prioritizing your goals to getting a coach or accountability partner to help you stay on track, these strategies have helped me achieve success in various areas of my life. By incorporating visualization, celebrating small wins, setting metrics for success, making smart goals, building habits, and more, you'll be well-equipped to tackle any resolution you set out to achieve. Remember, it's not just about the outcome; it's about the journey and the progress you make along the way. Takeaways: - Simplify and prioritize your resolutions by focusing on one or two big dominoes that will make all the difference. - Visualize success by imagining yourself achieving your goals in vivid detail. - Celebrate small wins to reinforce positive behavior and motivate yourself to keep going. - Set metrics for success to track your progress and stay accountable. - Make smart goals specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound to increase your chances of success. - Build habits that support your goals rather than just setting them as abstract objectives. - Use the "don't break the chain" technique to create a visual representation of your progress and motivate yourself to keep going. - Keep a journal to track your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and use it as a tool for personal growth and reflection. - Anticipate and embrace failure as an opportunity to learn and grow. - Get a coach or accountability partner to provide support, guidance, and motivation. #ThirdPowerPerformance #AccountabilityPartner #NewYearNewMe #GoalSetting #SuccessStrategies…
As we approach a new year, I've been reflecting on how to create a personal development plan that sets me up for success. It starts by looking back at what I've accomplished and what's held me back in the past. This introspection helps me identify areas where I need to improve systems and get support, allowing me to prepare for a brighter future. With my purpose in mind, I can start setting goals that will help me achieve my aspirations. I want to talk about three levels of goals: achievement, growth, and legacy. Achievement goals are specific, measurable, and time-bound – the SMART goals we've all heard of. Growth goals are about becoming who we need to be to achieve our objectives, while legacy goals focus on leaving a lasting impact for future generations. These different types of goals work together like my atomic triad: foundation, framework, and manifestation. Takeaways - Reflecting on past accomplishments and challenges is essential in creating a personal development plan. - Set three levels of goals: achievement (SMART), growth (becoming who you need to be), and legacy (leaving a lasting impact). - Achievement goals are specific, measurable, and time-bound, while growth goals focus on self-improvement and legacy goals consider long-term impact. #PersonalDevelopment #GoalSetting #LegacyGoals #GrowthMindset…
It’s that time of year—Spotify’s got its Wrapped, and we’ve got our journals. As we reflect on 2024 and dream big for 2025, this episode dives into something more than just setting resolutions that fade by January 10th. I’m sharing my end-of-year ritual: reflecting on the wins, analyzing the roadblocks, and crafting a personal development plan that actually works. We’re talking about identifying what got in your way this year (hint: it’s probably not just “laziness”), how to stop beating yourself up for what didn’t get done, and creating systems and support to help you crush 2025. No fluff, no "just try harder" nonsense—just practical strategies for turning your aspirations into reality. Plus, a sneak peek at my upcoming e-book that will take your goal-setting to the next level. Join me as we look back with compassion, plan forward with purpose, and build systems that make success inevitable. Let’s take your life to the Third Power, together. Primary Takeaways - Reflect with compassion: Stop beating yourself up for unmet goals; instead, analyze what truly got in your way. - Purpose over willpower: Willpower fades; systems and purpose last. Build systems that align with your strengths. - Outsource weaknesses: Focus on your strengths and find tools, people, or technology to handle areas where you struggle. - Learn from 2024: Use past challenges as data points for improvement—not as reasons to dwell on failure. - Plan strategically for 2025: Look at what worked, what didn’t, and create systems to overcome recurring obstacles. - Iterative growth: Progress is slow and steady—expect to refine your approach each year. - The magic formula: Support + Systems + Strengths = Mastery. Let’s set ourselves up for a transformative 2025! #PersonalDevelopment #GoalSetting #2025Planning #LifeToTheThirdPower #SelfReflection #AchieveYourGoals #SuccessMindset #ProductivityTips #PurposeDrivenLife #OvercomeObstacles…
I've been on a journey of self-improvement, and I've learned that it's not about being perfect, but about taking the next step. I've made mistakes in my life, and I've hurt those around me, but I've kept moving forward because I knew that I had to. I've come to realize that the most important words a man can say are "I will do better." These words aren't just for me, but for anyone who's ever felt like they're not good enough or that they've made mistakes they can't recover from. I want to remind you that it's okay to make mistakes, and that we can learn from them and become better because of them. I want to encourage you to say "I forgive myself" and "I will do better." These words are powerful because they acknowledge our imperfections and give us the courage to move forward. I don't know what you've been through or how you're feeling right now, but I want you to know that you're not alone, and that you can do better. I'm here with you, and I'll be your partner on this journey of self-improvement. Takeaways: - It's okay to make mistakes, and we can learn from them. - The most important words a man can say are "I will do better." - We need to forgive ourselves and move forward. - We can take the next step, even when it's hard or scary. - We don't have to be perfect; we just have to be willing to try. # selfimprovement #personalgrowth #motivation #mindfulness #selfcare #brandonsanderson #oathbreaker…
As I reflect on my journey to finding purpose and balance in life, I realize that many of us get stuck in survival mode. We're so busy trying to keep up with our responsibilities, work, family, and personal obligations that we forget to look within and explore what truly brings us meaning and fulfillment. I've learned that having a system in place is crucial to breaking free from this cycle. By creating systems for my life, I've been able to find more time, reduce stress, and focus on what truly matters - pursuing my passions and living with purpose. It's not about being a robot or following a strict routine, but about setting up the right structures and tools to support my goals and well-being. By automating, delegating, and optimizing my daily habits, I've been able to reclaim my time and energy, and find joy in the process. Takeaways: - Identify your time sinks and automate or delegate tasks to free up more time. - Design a daily routine that prioritizes purpose and reflection over external stimuli. - Create systems for reflection to look back on what went well and what didn't, and use this insight to adjust your approach. - Focus on finding your purpose, rather than just trying to be productive. #SystemFirst #PurposeFollows #TimeManagement #ProductivityHacks #FindingYourMeaning…
As someone who's struggled with procrastination and time management, I can relate to the concept of "work to do work." It's those pesky little tasks that seem insignificant on their own but add up to a significant amount of time before we can actually start doing what needs to be done. I've found myself in this exact situation while recording an episode - 20 minutes turned into 35, all because I got caught up in the prep work. But after reading Sarah Kesty's article, "The Hidden Hazard of Work-to-Do Work," I realized that it's not just about getting started, but also about planning for those tasks ahead of time. It's amazing how much energy and time we waste on pre-work, only to drain our excitement and motivation when the actual task takes longer than expected. But what if we could plan for this "work to do work" and reduce the inertia that holds us back? That's exactly what I want to explore today - how can we make the tasks that are preventing us from doing the important stuff easier, faster, and more efficient? By scheduling our prep work ahead of time, automating some parts of our lives using AI, and being kinder to ourselves when things don't go as planned, we can truly live life to the third power. Takeaways: - Work to do work refers to those little tasks that add up to a significant amount of time before you can start doing what needs to be done. - Planning for your prep work ahead of time can help reduce procrastination and increase efficiency. - Scheduling your pre-work as part of the task estimate can prevent energy drain and maintain motivation. - Using AI, like generative AI tools, can automate some parts of your life and free up more time for what's truly important. - Being kind to yourself when things don't go as planned is essential in overcoming procrastination.

In this episode of the Third Power Life podcast, I dive into the concept of a "mind virus" that plagues many successful professionals - the work obsession virus. Drawing parallels between computer software and our mental frameworks, I explore how this virus manifests in our lives, pushing us to work excessively at the expense of our relationships, personal care, and overall well-being. I share my personal mission to make "Cat's in the Cradle" just a song, not a reality for anyone, and offer insights on recognizing the symptoms of this virus. I emphasize the importance of aligning our actions with our true purpose to combat this mind virus. I discuss the consequences of letting this virus run unchecked, including burnout, strained relationships, and, ironically, decreased productivity and creativity. To help listeners debug their lives, I provide practical steps like regular self-reflection, setting boundaries, and upgrading our mental operating systems. Remember, becoming a true commander of your life means actively fighting against the drift that this mind virus encourages. Takeaways: - The work obsession virus is a mental framework that pushes us to work excessively - Symptoms include constant busyness, neglecting relationships and self-care, and inability to disconnect from work - Societal pressure and hustle culture contribute to the spread of this virus - Consequences include burnout, strained relationships, and decreased creativity - Combating the virus requires aligning actions with personal purpose - Regular self-reflection, setting boundaries, and upgrading mental habits are key to debugging your life - Becoming a true commander means actively fighting against the drift caused by this mind virus #MindVirus #WorkLifeBalance #DebugYourLife #ThirdPowerLife #PersonalDevelopment #Productivity #Burnout #PurposeDriven #SuccessfulProfessionals #FamilyLife Join the Round Table: https://www.ThirdPowerPerformance.com/round-table…

Just got back from a soul-stirring trip to Daytona Beach, and let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the vastness of the ocean to put life into perspective. Picture this: me, on a balcony, ocean stretching as far as the eye can see, and suddenly - BAM! - it hits me. We're all in this giant ocean called life, and so many of us are just... drifting. Now, imagine being in a boat out there without a compass, motor, or even a decent paddle. Scary, right?

In this episode, I dive deep into why finding your purpose is crucial. It's not just about avoiding that gut-wrenching "What am I doing with my life?" feeling (though that's a nice bonus). It's about setting your sails, charting your course, and making waves in this world. Because let's face it, life's going to throw some stormy seas our way, but with a clear purpose, we can weather any storm. So, if you've been feeling lost at sea, don't worry. You're not alone in that boat, and I'm here to help you find your compass. Let's set sail on this journey together and discover the incredible destinations that await when we live life with purpose!

Welcome to another episode of the Third Power Life podcast! In today's episode, I dive into a powerful metaphor from my farm upbringing: "Root hog, or die." This phrase, taught to me by my grandfather, perfectly encapsulates the relentless effort required to break free from life's confinements and achieve true freedom. As I recently revamped my bookshelf, I stumbled upon an old book cover I created to manifest a goal – a reminder of the importance of visualizing our dreams and working tirelessly to make them a reality. I share personal stories from my past, including the cleverness of pigs on our farm and how their constant rooting under fences inspired this episode's message. We discuss the importance of persistently working towards financial freedom, emotional well-being, and better relationships. Drawing from my coaching experiences and the principles of Robert Kiyosaki’s "Rich Dad Poor Dad," I highlight the journey to escape the 'rat race' and achieve true independence. I encourage you to reflect on the cages you might find yourself in, whether they relate to your career, health, or personal growth. What steps are you taking to break free? Share your thoughts in the comments or direct message me on Instagram or Facebook @ThirdPowerPerformance. Remember, it's either root hog or die – work to change your life or stay stuck forever. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment. Your support helps spread the message. Keep living your life to the Third Power and keep rooting out of those cages! Keep rooting! Primary Takeaways: - The metaphor "Root hog, or die" emphasizes relentless effort to break free from life's confinements. - Visualizing your dreams can be a powerful motivator. - Persistently work towards financial freedom, emotional well-being, and better relationships. - Reflect on the cages you find yourself in and take steps to break free. - Achieving true independence requires ongoing effort and perseverance.

As I reflect on my journey of continuous learning and improvement, I'm reminded that growth is a natural process of life. Without it, we slowly fade away like the heat in a hot cannonball left to dissipate in a room. In today's episode, I want to encourage you to join me on this path of continuous education, where we can learn from each other and grow together. I share my own experiences and insights on the importance of constantly learning and improving, and how it has transformed my life.

In this episode of the Third Power Life podcast, I dive into the vital concept of being coachable. Inspired by a thought-provoking idea I recently encountered, I discuss the significance of having a coachable mindset to truly thrive in life. We all know that experience is a great teacher, but who says all those lessons need to come from our own mistakes? I share personal stories, reflecting on my 55 years of life and the myriad of lessons learned—often the hard way! You'll discover why embracing humility and openness to learning can fast-track your journey to success. I recount some early mentorships, including how the wisdom of greats like Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohn, and Tony Robbins shaped my path—even if they were only available on cassette tapes back in the day! We explore the art of choosing the right mentors, staying true to your inner voice, and ensuring that guidance aligns with your personal purpose. As a bonus, I touch on the beauty of the Round Table—a space where we all mentor and support each other, no matter how small the gap between our experiences. It's about paying it forward, building a legacy, and making the world a better place. So, buckle up and get ready to be inspired. Let's learn, grow, and change the world together. Keep living your life to the 3rd power! Primary Takeaways - The Importance of Coachability: Being open to learning from others' experiences is crucial for personal growth and success. - Humility in Learning: Accepting that you don't know everything yet and seeking advice from those who have walked the path before you. - Choosing the Right Mentors: Finding mentors whose values and goals align with your own, and ensuring their guidance fits your personal purpose. - Learning from Mistakes: Utilizing not only your own mistakes but also learning from the experiences of others to avoid common pitfalls. - Group Mentoring: The power of collective wisdom through platforms like the Round Table, where everyone contributes and learns together. - Service and Legacy: The ultimate goal is to be of service to others, leaving a lasting positive impact on the world. #Coachability #Growth #SelfImprovement Join the Round Table: https://www.ThirdPowerPerformance.com/round-table…
