Many personal growth podcasts or webinars are once a week, once a month, or cost money to enjoy. We’ve created our daily growth hacks because we believe in daily growth. We believe that committing to your growth every day makes the largest difference. These daily growth hacks are anywhere from 3-10 minutes every morning (the perfect amount of time to sit down, enjoy your morning coffee, and listen to (or watch) an episode). In these episodes, we talk about ways to grow and expand in what we call the five to thrive: mind, body, soul, relationships, and business.

So what is it like to be in a relationship with me? That’s kind of an odd question, but it’s the question I sent to five key people in my life.
To give you an idea, I sent it to my wife, my brothers, and one of my co-workers as well as two friends. Now, I sent an email and I also followed up with each person just so they knew where I was coming from. In the email, I started off with…..
So, what are categories of improvement? Categories of improvement is just another way of talking about how to categorize your life and look at where you want it to go. So, we’re going to break your life down into two main sections.
We’re calling them containers here. We have personal and then we have business.

So, I was talking to a client today and they were telling me why they were doing something and I don’t want to give their name out because they’re actually pretty well known. So what they were doing is they were repeating the same process going to the same place over and over and over again but we’re really just depressed.
So what I ended up asking them was “hey, are you doing this just because you’re lonely?” Typically as a coach, I don’t ask that question right out but I had a lot of rapport with this client and have been working with them for a while now. The answer came up with “crap I think I do.”
Now, back in middle school I started reading fitness magazines and health magazines that my dad had lying around and I used to cut these articles out and one of the things that I read about was upon waking up, drink a solid glass of water (eight ounces or more) first thing in the morning.
Back then even, I started adding that to my routine and saw big benefits. I saw that when I hydrated myself I just felt better throughout the day. Now, then I didn’t know why and it wasn’t until college studying physiology that I actually understood the health benefits of it. That’s also when I started adding lemon to my water in the morning, mainly for the benefit of alkalizing my blood levels.

So, what do I mean by boxing gloves? Well, many of us are walking around with boxing gloves on all day and I know what you’re thinking you’re thinking “What the heck are you talking about? I’m an accountant, I work in an office, what have you, I don’t wear boxing gloves you may be at the gym”.
Now, for years I’ve been an entrepreneur, actually for decades, and one of the things that I keep seeing over in the personal development of business development field is getting up early and the value.
We’ve heard the old axiom “the early bird gets the worm”. But what cost is that? Now, during my career I’ve really focused on getting up early, whether it be for the fitness industry when I owned a gym or for just the entrepreneurial lifestyle – owning a business and wanting to get up before everyone else did so I could be as productive and get ahead of the curve.
So what am I talking about? Celebrating failures? I mean, you fail, you fail. Right?
Totally wrong.
It’s a difference in mindset. Now the difference between an entrepreneur and a wantrepreneur or a successful person versus someone who just wishes someday to be successful is the ability to fail, fail often, and fail forward.
So, one of the tips that I’ve gotten over the years from very successful people was the ability, not only, to try but the ability to fail and then celebrate those failures. You see, when we fail, we only fail if we don’t learn the lesson.

Now when we talk about knowing your why, the reason this came up for me was I was talking to a client of mine and what they wanted was location independence. Now, by most accounts this person was extremely successful in all areas of their life. They had a fantastic business where they have had a tremendous growth, it’s bringing a lot of revenue to them, they had kind of “made it” so to speak.
