Have you ever wondered what it was that actually lead to someone being highly successful? Do you wish you knew so you could get a bit of that success action too?

Psychologists suggest that there is a real link between happiness and success as well.

So in this weeks podcast I review a great book written by Richard St John called ‘The 8 Traits Successful People Have in Common‘. He conducted 500 interviews over 10 years and is also himself successful, so it really is an informed read.

It is no surprise that the number 1 trait of successful people is they have PASSION!!!

The following 7 are (as shown on the diagram):

  1. WORK
  2. FOCUS
  3. PUSH
  4. IDEAS
  5. IMPROVE
  6. SERVE
  7. PERSIST

2 Awesomely Effective and Simple Strategies on Managing Your Emotions

happy guy

Have you ever stopped to consider the idea that emotions are everything? That it is what we feel, that matters most. It is not the new shiny red Porsche that is the big deal it is the FEELINGS that we experience as a result of owning or driving in or seeing that car. What makes us move? What makes us do anything? It is emotions. Since they are so important, I want to share with you a couple of awesomely effective but simple strategies.

Last week I attended a 5-Day course on the LifeLine Technique, presented by the creator of the system – Dr Darren Weissman. To say that the course was insightful would be selling it short. I prefer to use the term – mind popping. It was simply amazing and I recommend it to anyone else – regardless if it is for you personally or to use as a professional tool with clients. It is superb!

The big theme of the training and the stuff that we most need to understand for joy, success, happiness and fulfillment in life is EMOTIONS. So in this podcast I will share with you just 2 tools you can use immediately to better manage and utilise the power of your emotions.

Loving What Is by Byron Katie

Podcast 44In this great book, ‘Loving What Is’ by Byron Katie, she introduces us to the idea that the greatest amount of emotional pain we experience in our lives is because of the stories and statements that we buy into.

 

The stories that we tell ourselves are more based on assumptions than reality. And one of Byron Katie’s greatest reminders is in her statement “When I argue with reality I lose. But only 100% of the time.” She has also developed 4 amazing questions, which she simply calls The Work, which are profound in their simplicity and effect. In this Podcast I introduce you to those 4 great questions and how you can use them as a fantastic happiness strategy in your own life.

A Complaint Free World by Will Bowen

Podcast 31A great book. A BRILLIANT Happiness Strategy!

 

The title just sounds too good. Imagine a world where there was no complaining, criticizing and gossiping. That is a pretty good picture from where I am standing. In Will Bowen’s great book ‘A Complaint Free World‘ he shares a practice that he has developed where people challenge themselves to go for 21 consecutive days without complaining, criticizing or gossiping and what this does on your general well being.

It is a great happiness strategy in that it takes your attention away from what is ‘wrong’ in a situation, so you can allow the ‘great’ to be expressed and also to focus on ‘solutions’ rather than ‘problems’. In this Podcast I look at the great book, the great strategy and how it will make a real big difference in your own life.

For more information on a Complaint Free World check out Will Bowen’s great WEBSITE.
