You ever feel dominated by your life? Business. Family. Friends. The house you bought. The car you drive. The stuff you own. Did anyone ever tell you it takes a tremendous amount of time and money to maintain it all? I doubt it. Ever wish things were just easier? I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who is struggling. Last week he drove to the office and couldn’t get out of the car. The business he loves has become the thing that he avoids. Deep down he feels like he “isn’t there yet,” that he isn’t…

Ah, dream boards. The shining example of “your thoughts become things” and “visualize and it will happen.”  These are great ideas to adopt. But they don’t tell the whole story. And often they do more damage than good. Look, I love to visualize, and I believe that what we focus on expands. But when it comes to dream boards, it’s like opening Pandora’s box. What comes flying out may not be what you expect. Here’s why. While on one hand the mind is inspired by the idea of a new car, the perfect relationship and that amazing house on the…

When we are little, we instantly react to things. Something happens, and we cry, we laugh… our automatic reaction mechanism kicks in. Then we grow up. And we are never taught that we don’t HAVE to instantly react to things in our environment. Instead, we stay stuck in our immature ways of dealing with the world. As adults we say things like this: “I don’t like that” and “It shouldn’t be that way” or “I am offended.” These are reactions. Today, I would like to invite you to practice responding to your world. Take a moment, take a breath, and…

by Kristen Marie Ferry Matthew Ferry taught me “my mind is not my friend.” True that. I was taking a nap the other day, and realized as I was dreaming, that my mind was like the screen in a movie theater. On the screen were images – some unknown to me, some memories from long ago – that suddenly appeared without reason, cause or purpose. It’s as if whatever that talking is in my head (The Drunk Monkey as Matthew calls it) will put anything on the screen of my mind that it wants. Seemingly to entertain itself. Upon…

Fear is a thief. It steals your dreams, your desires and your peace of mind. Fear is the #1 obstacle standing in the gap between now and the life you actually want to be living. So why do we give it so much power? Simple. We haven’t learned our fears are a function of the mind’s biological drive to survive. Once you begin to see the mind trying to protect you from harm, you naturally see that its motives are good, but its implementation sucks. It’s like this: Being rejected doesn’t equal death. Neither does being out of your comfort…

In a recent post I advised my client to stop setting goals that made her feel bad.  Over and over she set goals she never hit. Consequently, she felt like a failure.  I told her to lower the bar to something she could hit. Well, she did and guess what?  It worked.  She had been saying over and over “I’m going to get $30k in new business this month!” and not doing it. In September lowered the bar and started hitting it.  In November, with a goal of $15k, she hit $30k. Are you shooting yourself in the foot by setting…
