On today’s episode of the Daily Battle I want to talk to you about your values and priorities. We’ll also talk about the vehicle you are driving on the road trip of your life. What is this road trip of your life I am referring to? The road trip is your life’s path while the stops you take on your road trip are the things you are going to do and experience in your life. The people inside the car represent those on your journey with you. Your vehicle might be a bus with a lot of people. Although, you might just have an SUV with your immediate family. It depends on your values. The actual vehicle itself is what gets you down the road, which represents the way you earn money and support your life. The fuel in the vehicle is representation of your effort and energy you put forth. In this week’s episode:Takeaway #1: Own your timeUse your time and spend your time with people you love.Harmony is found when you align your values and priorities.Takeaway #2:Make yourself the number one priority in your lifeGet up and ta

I have been trying to figure out how to fly for many years. When I say fly I am meaning to live an extraordinary life. I have and had a good life and I am very appreciated and grateful for what I have been given. This isn’t to say my life hasn’t experienced pain, heart ace, disappointment, and failure. And I have done some shitty things over the years, I am human as we are all. I am not sure when the search began, where the deep seeded desire to be the best version of myself and to seek that person but somewhere inside of me there is this burning desire to win. For me winning is the measure of the man I have become. I define winning by be able to accomplish what I set out to accomplish, no matter how small. I remember when I was a kids, I convinced the neighbor to hire me to cut his grass. When it came to edging I was out there with pruning scissors on my hands and knees meticulously. Not the most efficient use of my time but I was wanting to produce the best edge possible. Producing the best job possible was

For most men we were told we weren't suppose to cry over spilt milk but on today's episode I give my personal experience around how it has provided me fire now and in the past.

“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.” ~Albert Einstein~I’d have you consider the goals we set for ourselves force us to grow and become better and it’s one of the core ways we experience true happiness. On the other side, I’d have you reflect on the times you didn’t set goals or try to become better... did you feel joy and happiness?I mean did you walk, embody, and radiant happiness? Ya... you might of “good” aka a absence of pain and heightened happinesses. I’ve experienced putting and tying my happiness in other people or thing...It doesn’t last and it can be an empty place....Tying it to goals is tying it to yourself...You are your leader...and you decide what to participate in or not...

Today, I was walking by the lake and there was a daddy duck, mama duck and the group of ducklings…As I walked by the Daddy duck challenged me and began to charge…The revelation I received was Courage with Purpose can take down the Biggest Lion…Sit back as I dig into today’s topic….

I went dark for a bit and I have to admit, I was thrown off my cadence by a conversation I had with a local business coach. We met through the chamber via a chamber member recommending I connect. We had a conversation and he made some recommendations around some of the things I was doing. One of which was this daily battle podcast and to tone it down, etc. See, I truly appreciate his time and I know his intentions are in the right place, and a few of his suggestions I will implement but I have to own my voice… So, Join me today as I explain why? ....

Recently there has been some turmoil happening in my extended family and there have been a few times I have felt compelled to take a stand for what is right, to be the calming force, to roar when it needed it, to stand at the head of the table. At the end of the day its my responsibility to lead my family away from the fire and not let things burn. I would be out of integrity of who “I am” to stand by and allow it to happen. The distinction that I am grateful to be given in the recent past is I am leader not a savior. How does this relate to running a business? When you run a small business your team is like a small family, your micro movement you are leading, those people are believing in you and following you. And you’ll have instances where the interpersonal interactions, ie conflict, the good times, the bonds will feel like family but its your job as the leader to maintain the culture or even fix the culture.

Today's episode, I am just going to go off the top of my head on what this means....to me...If you are offended by foul language...I would suggest skipping this one...
