When our clients are exposed to our company, they are often impressed with how we really stress the concept of Freedom – and well they should be. Our central core value is Freedom, our web address is deliverfreedom.com, heck- it’s the name of our company! At the same time I see that the vast majority of individuals I meet do not have the kind of professional or personal Freedom they really desire and deserve. Do you?
The role of our choices is central to how much Freedom we experience. In fact, we define Freedom as “the capacity to exercise choice”- and when I say exercise, I literally mean exercise like a muscle. The more you properly exercise a muscle’s capacity to Read More...
Remember, there is no such thing as a “good” memory or “bad” memory. You either have a trained memory or an untrained memory. This means THERE IS HOPE for even the most forgetful among us!Read More...
Remember the first time you gripped the remote control in your hand. Ahhh…the feeling of power! The slightest pressure of your finger on a button and VOILA! A movie appears. Don’t like it? A light caress and a different show comes on the screen. Another press and thunder pours out from the speakers. All without moving from your couch. We do love to be in control, don’t we?
Now, try pointing the remote at your kids. Doesn’t work does it? They just haven’t figured out how to make a remote control with a Listen To Your Parents button. Nor have they designed remote controls for directing spouses, employees, or customers.
Often people ask me what is the “key” to becoming FREE? What one thing is the source of freedom at work, in relationships, financially, etc?
I have a critical question for you. What was the source of your greatest success? Think back to the time of you greatest achievement. Think about the area of your life that has continually been a source of strength and joy. What is the source of those magical moments?
Many great thinkers have said that everything in our life is created twice – once in thought and then once in reality. I will suggest that the original source of everything great in your life is a dream that you had in the Read More...
A good friend of mine recently asked me that a question. He couldn’t have asked me at a better time because, at that junction of my life, I had lost my motivation, lost the “why” behind the things I was doing and lost the direction I was heading.
Can you relate? Do your actions feel empty at times?
Many people think that they know their purpose. Then, in times of hardship when that purpose is challenged, they suddenly realize that that purpose does not motivate them anymore. At that time they feel that they must have lost their purpose.

We all know that there are many factors that influence our attitudes from the outside – what we watch on TV, what the people around us say, what we read etc. But what about the things you say to yourself on the inside?
Does the subject of self-talk make you uncomfortable? I know when I first learned about “self-talk,” I thought it sounded hokey, cheesy, and just weird. So if you feel that way, know that I understand where you are. None the less, I ask you to keep your mind open for a few minutes because what you can learn can significantly change not only your outlook on life, but the amount of success that you experience.
You talk to yourself all the time. Think about Read More...
The following article was posted on CNN’s website June 18th and thought I would pass it along to our blog readers, especially those interested in Memory Training.
If this article speaks to you, or are interested in learning more about brain fitness, seriously consider attending our Memory Training Workshop. There are workshops offered around the country attended by hundreds of people each month. You will be amazed at what your memory and mind can be trained to do.
What is the most important aspect of giving a presentation?
No, it is not eye contact, memorizing your talk, using visual aids or humor properly. Granted those are important. But if you master all of those skills and neglect this one important aspect, your effectiveness will be lost and your message will fall on deaf ears.
The most important aspect for you to focus on when preparing and giving a presentation is the audience. And this holds true whether it is a small group of 5 or a large group of 500.
The best way to focus on your audience is to answer the following questions:
What matters to the group? Why should they care? Why should they listen to Read More...
According to Webster’s it is, “falling short, a weakening, a breakdown in operation, neglect or not succeeding.” I want you to think about those definitions for a moment.
Many times we only pay attention to the fact that we fell short so we feel as though we’ve failed. But it’s important to think about WHY we fell short.
Is it simply because we stopped operating and just broke down? Just because we tried once….. or even three times? Does it ever have to be over??? Have you ever said, “I Read More...
What ever your goals are, they all boil down to one thing- you want GROWTH! Congratulations! You’ve taken the first step towards seeing positive results.
I thought it might be helpful to make you aware of four barriers that must be overcome to experience any kind of real growth. These are barriers that nearly everyone has naturally, and it takes conscious decision and effort to remove or compensate for them.
1. Unwillingness to Accept Full Responsibility
Today and every day, your growth is up to you and you alone. Certainly you have resources and should get help in achieving your goals, but ultimately YOU will reap the harvest that YOU plant. Growth cannot Read More...
