Have you checked out The School for Greatness podcasts?

Here's a blog/podcast website by a man named Lewis Howes, who picked himself up by the bootstraps and created success. He has tons of podcasts and blogs. Yes, he flogs various products as well on his website, but he does cover some good stuff at the same time.

Although I've said/written/suggested/lectured about many of these same tips in Points for Profit: The Essential Guide to Business Success for Acupuncturists and other places, it can be helpful to hear ideas and suggestions from more than one point of view, more than one person, more than one time. Who knows, maybe a different voice and way of expressing it lights your fire!!

Here's the written list of stuff he covers in this podcast. I especially love his description of #10 below. Take a listen if you have any part of 30 minutes.

The Top 10 Ways to Get Off the Couch

1. Get up to the mirror, look yourself in the eyes and say, “Enough is enough … I’m going to make something of myself, and I’m sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.”  Write down in a journal who you are and what you stand for and why it’s important for you to get off the couch.
2. Make a list of 10 things you love doing that make you the happiest when you do them.
3. Commit to 60 mins a day of working out in the morning.
4. Write a list of the 5 things that scare you the most.
5. Tackle the top 3 things that scare you so you master them.
6. Write down a vision for yourself for 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.
7. Find a mentor who has already achieved those visions and ask them to give you a challenge with coaching.
8. Do something in the first 30 days to give back, give gratitude, and give to yourself.
9. Feed your mind with books, podcasts, and inspiring videos.
10. Chart your results nightly for what you created and check in every week to see what’s been working and what has been holding you back.  Repeat.
