After what was an intense and emotional month of May, I felt like I had fallen in a bit of rut. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I just wasn’t “feeling it.” I was tired and lacked some purpose. I chalked it up to the past six weeks, and the transitions that my family were going through.
After all, my oldest daughter, Skylar, left at the first of May to chase her dreams of becoming a professional dancer. Scratch that. She is a professional dancer. She is now onboard a Cruise ship in California performing. Amazing. My youngest daughter, Jade, just graduated high school and is getting ready to move out (in the next couple of weeks) and start school in Columbus. In the midst of all of that, Amy and I were working to keep our businesses running, speaking, and hosting events as well. There was a good reason for feeling tired, right?
But I knew that wasn’t it.
In the midst of running through this time in our lives, I had made a few personal compromises. For 6 months last year, I was writing a blog on this website every single day. It was a challenge. But it was a rewarding (and sometimes therapeutic) activity for me personally. When I decided to stop doing it every day, I told myself I would write a couple of blogs a week. In reality, however, I had fallen out of the rhythm. In addition, I have made the commitment to writing a new book. I have started the process and have made good progress. I was writing regularly. Then, with this season, I stopped that too.
Though I can certainly give myself a break because things were hectic, I realized something very important. I started breaking my promises to myself. I knew it deep down. But it was really brought to my attention as I watched this interview. I had stopped keeping these small commitments to myself…and these broken promises were ruining my productivity.
I think this is true for any area of your life.
If you want to be more productive, lose more weight, sell more, start a podcast, or make any change in your life, it starts small.
Start by making a small commitment to yourself. Then keep that promise.
When you can start by making that small promise, and follow through, you create a sense of accomplishment. When you can keep that promise, day in and day out, you create momentum. As you create momentum (on just that small promise) you create progress toward your goal.
So if you want to make progress toward any goal in your life, make a small promise to yourself. Then keep that promise…again and again.
To learn more about this concept, spend the time and watch this great interview with Chris Powell, Heidi Powell and Ed Mylett. And make sure you never miss any content. You can find it all here on our blog. And of course you can always sign up to be a VIP here.

There was an announcement recently about a local business that was closing its doors. I was saddened for the owners and the employees, and then I was fascinated by the response I saw from the cheap seats on social media. Though there were certainly responses that expressed their sadness for the company, there were just as many that took the time to take shots at the business and the owners. The comments were all over the place in nature, but I did notice one thing in common.
None of these “shots” came from other business owners or leaders.
Have you ever noticed that? You rarely see negative comments from someone who has walked the walk. These “coulda, woulda, shoulda” observations nearly always come from the cheap seats. It’s easy to hurl insults when you don’t have to actually put in the work. That’s why, as Teddy Roosevelt says, “It’s Not The Critic That Counts.”
The same is true for other areas too.
You rarely see a One Star Book Review from another author.
The person that creates content almost never posts mean comments on the new video creator.
A person who has worked hard to get in shape hardly ever fat-shames the person working out.
These people don’t spew venom at the person putting in the work because they know how hard it can be. Sure, everyone has 20/20 vision from the past. Everyone has an opinion on what needs to be done, or what you should have done. But most people are unwilling to do it. That’s not my opinion. It’s just math. The work is not done by the majority. It’s done by those willing to raise their hand.
So if you are one of those people that is putting in the work, take heed. You are appreciated. And, like that local business, you might stumble. As a matter of fact, stumbles are inevitable. But the future is made by those that take the step, grab the bull and put in the work. So good luck.
And if you are one of these people that find yourself yelling from the stands, this is your invitation. Pick a project. Take a step. Do the work. You will have way more impact than by just being another voice in the crowd.
Make sure you never miss an update. There are a couple of ways. Make sure to go to our blog page each day. We post videos, podcasts and blogs nearly every day. Or you can sign up to become a VIP. Sign up to become a VIP here.
