John Krasinski Success Lesson

John Krasinski SuccessJohn Krasinski Success Lesson

I truly believe that a success lesson can come from anywhere at anytime if we are open to it. A perfect example of this just happened to me yesterday when I saw the John Krasinski success unfold on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It had a huge impact on me and I wanted to share it with you as quickly as possible. Here’s the story.

I had heard John Krasinski (best known as Jim Halpert from The Office) was going to be on The Late Show. I set the DVR to record it and sat down to watch it yesterday. I’ve been a fan of The Office for a while and recently saw him as Jack Ryan on Amazon Video. I’ve wanted to know more of the John Krasinski success story and the Late Show totally delivered.

Here are the elements of the success lesson I got from watching him on the Late Show.

  • Having a dream.
  • The importance of support.
  • Being flexible on your dreams.
  • Setting a “must happen by” date.
  • Sticking to that date.
  • Being willing to do the work.
  • Not half doing anything.

My Comfort Zone Challenges Rating System

comfort zone challenges ratingWhy Do We Need a Comfort Zone Challenges Rating System?

As I mentioned in my earlier post about comfort zone challenges, there will be a rating system set up just to bring all the elements together. If you haven’t read that post, I would recommend you take a few minutes right now to do that. I’ll be happy to wait-LOL!

I understand that each person experiences life differently. I also know there are no absolutes when it comes to comfort zone ratings. I am one person and have my likes, dislikes, skillsets, etc. For one person, learning to meditate may be second nature and to another grueling. What I’m trying to do with this rating system is set up a quick reference system so you have SOME idea of what’s involved in the various comfort zone challenges. Then, you can read more and visit the links I give you to learn more. Then YOU can decide if it’s for you.

My main goal here is simplicity and ease of use. The comfort zone challenge rating system will be a part of every comfort zone challenge blog post.

Is Building a Bigger Life Selfish?

Who Are You Building a Bigger Life For?

When you think of making more of your life the first thing most people feel is selfish. This is because they are under the mistaken impression (probably given to them from childhood) that building a bigger life means you are self-centered and greedy. It seems we are taught at an early age that wanting something for yourself is wrong or sinful or evil. The purpose of this short article will be show you why this is a major flaw in thinking that actually holds many people back from creating a life of their dreams.

I will not deny for a second that wanting more and better just for yourself at the exclusion of others is NOT a lofty goal at all. It is small-minded, scarcity based thinking that will keep you playing small vs building a bigger life.

The key question that we need to ask ourselves is this: who are you building a bigger life for?
