I am going to talk about emotions, plain and simple. We all have them. Although some of us have a hard time realizing it. I was brought up in a household where guys didn't have emotions. I was supposed to be the strong, silent type without showing emotions. So, what I want to talk to you about is the good, bad, and the ugly. Listen along as I go through emotions and how I look at them.

I want to talk about helping people. There are basically four ways to do that. So let's talk about the first way of helping, which is not to help at all. Believe it or not. For some of us old folk, that is the way we were taught. We didn't get help. We had to figure it out all by ourselves. And that was both frustrating and liberating because when you finally did figure it out, you felt like a million bucks. But the thing is, and I think there's some validity to this.

What I will talk about is the uncertainty that's going on in the world. It's everywhere. It's almost like the world has said, “Oh, you can handle the pandemic? Here, take Ukraine! Here, take Russia! Here, take part shortages! Here, take supply shortages! Here, take inflation!” And it's just mounting and mounting and mounting and people need a break. People need a place where there's safety. If you look at one of Maslow’s first levels, it's about safety. Now the reality is we go looking for safety in the wrong places. We look for safety with money. We look for safety, with things. We look for safety with drinking or different things that just quiet us down on the inside. I would like you as a leader to create a safe place. How do you do that? Press play and listen along as I break it down a little for you.

There is one differentiator that separates the major players from everyone else. That difference is focus. People tell me all the time that they can't focus; that they don't have focus. I say that's absolutely untrue. We all have focus. It's just what we focus on that’s the problem? The reality is most of us, me included, at times major in minor things. We spend our focus on stuff that ultimately is inconsequential. And that's the separation. It's all about being truly successful in whatever it is you want. It's all about being able to stay focused on what's important. I will give you the steps for focus, so press that play button.

In this episode, I want to talk to you about managing. I’ve heard so many horror stories about managers, bosses, and owners. And they have one common thread. It’s what you pay attention to. You can either catch people doing things wrong, or you can catch people doing things right. I need to tell you that it’s normal for the brain to look for things that are a danger, things that are wrong. That is how our brains are naturally wired. It's easy to find things wrong. It's the way we're wired socially. Think about it. Every commercial you ever see basically says you’re not good enough unless you have our product. They imply that you have an issue and it's your fault until you get our product. But you can overcome that. Keep listening for tips to shift your focus.

I want to ask a question. When did life stop being an adventure? When was life all about playing it safe?

One of the biggest issues I see in communication is what I call a translation issue. You know what I'm talking about? Have you ever been with someone who is speaking only French, and you only speak English? That's a translation issue. They're talking perfect. You're listening perfect.

Ok, keep listening to see where I'm going with this.
