Have you read the books, “As a Man Thinketh" and “The Magic of Believing?“ Both books are classics on the subject of mindset and the laws of success. In this podcast episode, I read excerpts from both books. The idea to share this message came about because of a conversation I had with my son, Connor. Although the many things I counseled him, I spent much of the time reminding him of the "power of thought." The excerpts I share are powerful. I suggest that you listen to the podcast without taking notes. Rather, relax and ponder on the truths of the message. Let this podcast be a good reminder of how important our thoughts are and how they relate to achievement, health, attitude, relationships, and life.

If you are seeking happiness through "self-love" alone, you might be disappointed. Self-love is a new, trendy phrase that typically has to do with self-worth, self-esteem, compassion for self, fulfillment, confidence, and happiness, and I agree that each one is important. However, when "self-love" becomes all about "ME," happiness will be stifled. If you want more love, then GIVE IT AWAY. Happy people seem to be those who recognize their greatness and understand that sharing it by lifting others is a sign of TRUE GREATNESS and a source of TRUE HAPPINESS!

I’m out of my comfort zone on this one. I debated whether not to do this podcast, but with the recent school shootings, I felt I needed to say something. It's DEEP! It’s crazy that these unfortunate tragedies keep happening in America. Where do we go from here? What are the causes? What are possible solutions? I think we all need to be open-minded and take a balanced approach for the sake of our children and society at large. Something needs to be done! Security, safety, and liberty hang in the balance.

"If You Think You Can!" was written to help you achieve your goals and dreams. With over 100,000 copies goals and 5-Star reviews, it's a great reminder of what it takes to be a high achiever. Order NOW! Thank you!

There are two types of people in life: 1) those who wait for evidence that their goals will work before they take the first step, and 2) those who rely on the evidence of their faith. If I had waited for the evidence that I "could" write books, I probably would have never written one—let alone four. One of the mysteries of life is trusting that one's efforts will pay off, while ignoring the momentary or repeated setbacks. Achieving goals takes patience and faith in one's ideas. Don't wait for evidence before you start taking action. Start by taking action, and the answers will unfold before your eyes. Trust the unknown. Trust the process. Take actions toward living your dreams starting today!

It's 8:30 PM, and as a family, we just finished watching the movie, "Wonder," written by Jack Thorne. The film stars were Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, and Jacob Tremblay... Wow; so many great life principles. As I was watching the movie, I quickly felt tender. Thoughts and reflections started running through my mind, and I thought it would be meaningful to share some of these thoughts with you, as they might be meaningful to you as well. Thoughtfully enjoy.

Follow-Up (part #2)... "How Beliefs Shape Your Life." Discover 'state of mind' and the apparatus human beings possess to determine reality. You share your reality by the way you think! Think BIG!!!

Check out "How to Think Like a High Achiever": https://youtu.be/kKvg58Fc8Es

In this Podcast (part #1), I go HEAVY and DEEP (technical). I am speaking to a sales team about how beliefs determine results in life and business. Beliefs are the EMBRYO of ALL ACHIEVEMENT! Beliefs can build, and they can destroy. The great thing about being a human being is with correct tools and a strong desire, limiting beliefs can be changed for the better. Change Your beliefs, change your life!

Achieving any goal, dream, idea -- even overcoming obstacles -- takes passion, leadership, unorthodox ideas, and an irreverence for the status quo. You've got to think both BIG and DIFFERENTLY, and there are few people more qualified to talk about these principles than Hap Klopp.

Join me as I interview the founder of the Northface Company, Hap Klopp. Discover what it takes to live your passions and achieve success.

Hap Klopp is also the author of several books including, "The Adventure of Leadership" and "Conquering the North Face."

The one critical factor that separates the high achiever from the low achiever is 'demanding the best from yourself.' In my book, “If You Think You Can!," this is Law #2. Like Michael Jordan and Elton John, demanding greatness from yourself is a key principle when it comes to success. Where do you need to give more than you currently do? Where do you coast when you should be hustling? What 'fundamentals' do you need to review again and again to maintain the competitive edge?
