How I first learned about the power of my mind My mentor’s mentor, Earl Nightingale, taught that you become what you think about. It started for me when I was 5. You see, my dad Mike Ferry worked for Mr. Nightingale selling records of the most famous motivational talk ever burned onto vinyl. And one day while at our home in Newport Beach he sat me on his lap, and he asked me what I wanted the most. “A bike,” I answered. He then told me to find a picture and post it on the refrigerator. I did. Soon, I…

As a life coach, it is my job to help people move from negative states to positive states. Now, life is not necessarily negative at all; it’s just our opinion that makes life negative. To change your life for the positive now, one of the first things that you must take into account, is that you have created opinions about how life shouldn’t be this way, and that opinion then creates a negative state for you. You feel frustrated, you feel annoyed, you feel agitated, upset, angry. These are all negative states that occur when your opinion is contradicted. To…
Successful people realize that success does not bring happiness. Happiness is the next journey for most successful people. Early on, most top performers equate that success will fill the void within them and show the world that they are valuable. Sorry to say, it doesn’t happen. Happiness takes a different set of skills, disciplines, systems and procedures. Here are the first three steps to getting on the path of true happiness: Step One: You must see the mind, which I call The Drunk Monkey, for what it really is. The Drunk Monkey, all that talking in your head, is just…
As a coach, my job is to help my clients successfully transition from the life that they currently have to the life they want. This means confronting and conquering the fear of change. Think about it like this. Even though your goals and dreams are exciting to think and talk about, your dreams are usually much less exciting to implement. Dreams are new. New is hard. New is different. New means potential failure. The Drunk Monkey, which is my little nickname for the mind, is designed to keep you away from new. Part of your programming as an animal is…
As an inspired Action Life Coach, my job is to support my clients in living a life of happiness, joy, peace, and most importantly, bliss. The dictionary defines bliss as, supreme happiness. Most people don’t have an experience with bliss. Most people don’t know what bliss even is. 1. It is that state of loving life so deeply, so turned on, so much about life, that you can hardly stand it. You are nearly brought to tears of joy by how amazing your experience of life is in that moment. 2. This is what happens when you follow the inspired…
Have you noticed that The Drunk Monkey is NOT in the business of going for it, taking action, getting excited and living the dream? The Drunk Monkey’s chief aim is to criticize you all day long. It criticizes others. It critisizes the situation. It doesn’t care about creating pleasant experiences. It could care less if you feel good. It could care less about achieving your goals. Thankfully, The Universe/God/Source Energy/Life Force will conspire upon your behalf, stuff will start to happen, and results will start to be produced…BUT…what if the universe delivers to you in a way that looks different than what…
