There are 5 blogs that you absolutely cannot miss this year. I know, I know… you’re overwhelmed with holiday shopping, end of year deadlines, endless to-do lists. And I promise you – each of these few minute reads will be more than worth your time (and will probably help with that overwhelming feeling…)

You know what you might be missing? Podcasts. Specifically, these 10 most popular podcasts that were gracious enough to have me on as a guest to talk all things Hunting Discomfort and the #NoMatterWhat practices. Check one out that speaks to you. Or, check them all out. You can’t go wrong with this list.

If you’re asking yourself how you can finish the year strong, you’re in the right spot. I have a few ideas you can engage with that will leave you free and clear for 2023 breakthrough results… #1, finish the year with Festivus…

How’s this for a blog title this time of year? This is the time of year when many people, in the US at least, will talk about gratitude and how grateful they are. I know, mind-blown already. But that’s really only less than half of the equation. There’s something else...

Discomfort is in your way. It’s not money, time, your job, your company, your team, your personality, your culture, the market, inflation, or the world that’s in the way of the results you want. What determines your results is one thing only: how you deal with discomfort.

To get the results you want, find the opposite… That’s right, to achieve what you want, you have to seek out, hunt down and embrace the opposite. And my money is on that it might be at least a little uncomfortable. True in your business and in your life. Let me show you what I mean.

Most people ultimately know what there is to do to get the results they want. At least when they stop to think about it. Here’s the problem, it’s just all too natural for many of us to avoid the discomfort of actually doing it. Including me, and I wrote the book on it! I don't know about you but…

The Amazon has an estimated 50,000 species of plants and 3,000,000 species of animals, amongst which I found myself for two weeks. I was off the grid with an indigenous group in Peru called the Shipibo. I was there doing some “field work” — a fancy way of saying putting myself though some of these experiences and teachings they have to see what’s there…

Two weeks in the Amazon jungle gifted me many lessons. There’s something about the austerity of only having the basics you need for survival (literally survival) that grinds everything inside of you down to only the essentials. I spent 14 days off the grid in the jungle with an indigenous group there called the Shipibo — more details about exactly what I was doing can be read in my…

I thought I was going to the Amazon jungle to see what lessons I could pull out of it. After calling a small tambo (jungle hut) home for the last few weeks in Eastern Peru, it’s really more what lessons the jungle pulled out of me.

Off the grid with little running water, no power, no talking, one or no meals a day with no salt or seasoning and dry fasting (no water) for certain periods has a way of twisting your mind…

The disclaimer on investments is that “past performance is not an indicator of future results.” In other words, don’t get too comfortable with the past. All you have to do is look at the stock performance through last year (2021) compared to this year’s performance to know this is true.

Pause. A moment in time to slow down, reflect, recalibrate, even reset back to what really matters. Really matters to your clients, your business, your community, your family and yourself. When was the last time you took a real pause? Stepped away from the constant traffic of the day to day to go deeper for a minute, a day, a week or longer?

Competitive advantages are even more critical as today’s leaders are confronting a time of accelerating change on a global scale. We all know the world is forever disordered by pandemic fallout, tech disruption, global instability and…

You’ll know that hunting the discomfort of expanding your reality is working when . . . drumroll here . . . you start getting results! It’s that simple…

The “box” is your friend when it comes to innovation and breakthrough results. As counterintuitive as it may seem, your goal actually isn’t to get “outside the overly cliched box” – it’s to get better inside of it. Merely asking for more time, more money, more resources is fool’s gold and usually the easy way out. When you’re…

“The way out is through”. These wise words, inspired by Robert Frost, mean to me that we must go through life head-on with all the difficulties that it may bring… because what you’re seeking is on the other side. I don’t imagine Frost knew there would eventually be brain science, psychology and a book that would…

Sometimes “thanks” just doesn’t cut it. There are undoubtedly special people in your life and business who have made massive contributions to your personal or professional success but do they know it? Are they aware of your gratitude or the difference they made for you? It might be time to…

Your results (in business and in life) are defined by one thing and one thing only -- it’s not how hard you work. How bad you want it. Who you know. Or how much money you have. It’s not sheer determination or grit. It’s: the discomfort you avoid. Your results are defined by discomfort. In having written the book on discomfort, here are the 5 myths in a 5 minute read I hear the most that I can clear up right now for you…

Getting out of your comfort zone is always a challenge, but more and more evidence indicates that it is necessary for growth and success in your business and career. In my experience as a mentor to entrepreneurs, I find that self-doubt and lack of confidence are the primary constraints people have to overcome to move ahead. The challenge is to recognize your problem and fix it.

Nobody likes to feel uncomfortable. Well, maybe there are a few masochists out there, but for the most part, discomfort is something that most of us avoid. Ironically, by avoiding discomfort though, we’re ultimately left with more of it. And it becomes debilitating for us individually and as…
