S2. E14. Inspired to Inspire with Elizabeth Greever

It is fascinating to know that we all have a gift to share. Some take action to share with others and some don't.  In this episode, I chat with Elizabeth Greever [https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethgreever/].  She is someone who I can call the queen of "Inspired to Inspire" in our community.  Elizabeth left her teaching job to start a business but quickly learned to leverage other people's stories.  She started "Inspired Leaders [https://www.inspiredleaders.org/]" to help others to believe in themselves.  She invites people to be vulnerable at the stage at their comfort level to share that anything we do in life does not just come easy.  All successful people have adverse stories behind their success. She continues to evolve in her journey to spread "Inspiration" wherever she goes.  Inspiration is always needed.

S2. E13. Do we miss mental toughness to reach a goal?

In this episode, I interview one of my dear friends Valerie Maksym [https://www.instagram.com/maksymizeyou/?fbclid=IwAR3ag_7JRWbyT2MhQK0XtLkHN5MqCeYVN7JaM1pKVoIMEB7wIAxumbgDYd4].  She motivates me to stay on track with my health.  As Valerie says: "What we do every single day adds up".  Reaching a goal is possible one day at a time. Valerie's top tips are to be mindful and have an accountability partner, be open to learning from peers. We don't know what we don't know and it is never late to find a passion.  Her tough bodybuilding competition process taught her that we as humans learn in the process towards our goals and we never arrive at one place but continue to grow.  Thank you for tuning in.

S2. E12. Have you done a 90 days or any challenge to learn new skills?

In this episode, a friend of mine Laura and I discuss our experiences around accountability and consistency to grow while challenging each other to do things outside of our comfort zone.  We both have the heart to help others and during the process, we help one another. We are learning a lot during our 90 days challenge where we agreed to do a tip a day video.  Tune in to listen to our conversation and we call you to join the challenge.  Why 90 days? because it takes that long to get used to new skills and things we learn to sustain longer-term. Find someone who can help you reach goals, especially in the areas you feel uncomfortable doing it alone but really want to learn.  Laura and I actually met fairly recently, and we have been helping each other ever since.  Most expect close friends and families to help but it is best if you find new friends outside of your current circle to learn new skillsets.  Thank you for tuning in.

S2. E11. Treat Your Money Relationship like any other, do you?

Do you treat your money relationship like any other? In this episode, the relationship with money is discussed between me and Sam Malone Radio Host and the owner of 512 New Media [https://512newmedia.com/].  Apply relationship principles when managing your money. * Practice mindfulness - Mindfulness is the art of giving active attention to the moment and not an easy task, but very useful.  * Recommit, every day - When it comes to money if you renew your commitments every day, that will situate people nicely for long-lasting financial success. * Show love and respect - To your hard-earned money....stop betraying to temporary satisfaction.  Relationships come with ups and downs, the same goes for money...Don’t expect to be happy all the time because money is not everything just everything needs money.  Know your bottom line because knowing your bottom line in terms of what is important to you, your top priority, what's important enough will help you to stay on track financially in everyday life.  Without clarity, it may lead to mismanaging your money while increasing the pain of your emotional debt. Don’t assume anything when it comes to money.  Money loves clear communication and understanding like the relationships. Thank you for tuning in.
