Episode #071: Discover What You Were Meant to Do with Jeff Goins

by

Jeff GoinsToday my guest, Jeff Goins, wants to encourage you to abandon the status quo and live a life that matters.

His new book, due out March 24th, is designed to help you do just that. And when you add in the fact you can pick it up for nothing more than the cost of shipping – plus a plethora of freebies – you’ve got no excuse but to act (read on).

In his new book, The Art of Work: A Proven Path for Discovering What You Were Meant to Do, Jeff sets out to describe seven common characteristics he’s identified after encountering hundreds of stories from people, just like you, who have found their calling. Each of these seven characteristics are like overlapping stages that, once started, continue for the rest of your life. Check out my interview below for more.

He’s also authored several previous books including, The In-Between: Embracing the Tension Between Now and the Next Big Thing, Wrecked: When a Broken World Slams into Your Comfortable Life and You Are a Writer (So Start Acting Like One).

Kimanzi ConstableIn 2011, Kimanzi Constable was $180K in debt, his marriage was falling apart and his children barely knew him.

He now writes for Entrepreneur Magazine, The Huffington Post and the Good Men Project, among others, and his latest book is called Are You Living or Existing? 9 Steps to Change You Life.

Episode #068: Hal Elrod Shares How Changing Your Mornings Can Rock Your Life

by

Hal ElrodI have heard the name Hal Elrod so many times in the last few weeks, I’ve actually lost count.

So much so that I decided I had to find out what all the fuss is about.

Simply put, he’s written a book that has done what many books are unable to do: convince you to change the habits that aren’t benefitting you and replacing them with a specific morning routine, customizable to you, that will prepare you – better than anything I’ve experienced – to sustain what Hal calls Level 10 Success.

That book is called The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life Before 8am.
