It's No Secret with Dr T.

Minimalism and Generalism need to work side-by-side if you want to be better at everything and get more done each day and far more out of life, with less stress.  My guest Pat Flynn from Pennsylvania is a repeat offender on this podcast, and he appeared back on Episode 9: Being a Generalist When we spoke last, he mentioned the book he was in the process of writing, and now it is a reality - How To Be Better At (Almost) Everything .  Today we discuss:  Pat has two guiding principles: Minimalism: Working out the shortest path between A and B using a cross-over between effectiveness and efficiency, and Generalism: Being good to great in many things.  Learning anything quickly Stacking your Skills  The 4 R's Repetition Resistance Restriction * Review Restriction If you restrict one area in life or business, you are forced to improve in other areas. Pat gave an example of becoming a better guitar player by restricting the use of his fingers and...

Everything we do is either a deposit or withdrawal on our HEALTH BANK ACCOUNT, and you cannot keep making withdrawals without also making deposits otherwise your health will go into deficit.  Dr Howard Cohn is a Chiropractor and is the owner of the Cohn Health Institute in Costa Mesa, California, which is a health and wellness clinic.  On this podcast, we discuss why entrepreneurs need to stop and take time out if they want to rejuvenate their physical, emotional and nutritional bank accounts.  Health & Fitness  People get health and fitness confused. You can be healthy by eating well and not fit, and you can also be fit and not healthy by having a poor diet and not resting. "Just because you have cheques in your chequebook it doesn't mean you have money. Your health bank account works the same way".  Diet Is A Choice People let themselves down by making poor dietary choices. The easiest way to look after your health is to control what you eat. ...

I really enjoy marketing and the reason I like it so much is that you know when it works, plus I also enjoy the creative process and steps required to make a marketing plan a reality. But a good marketing plan does take time to develop.  Over the past 12 months, I have had to opportunity to speak in front of hundreds of people and after every speaking engagement someone will always ask, "how am I supposed to find time to fit marketing into my already busy schedule”? An Open Mind Finds Solutions That's a really good question and it's one I like because as long as you’re asking HOW it means you’re open to the possibility of finding a solution. Asking HOW questions are also far better than saying, “I don’t have time to do marketing” because by saying I DON’T you’ve already lost.   It’s not about FINDING TIME to do marketing; it’s about MAKING TIME and when you really want to do something you’ll always find a way.   It's About Priorities  At one event, I was talki...

I recorded this episode, 13 Reasons Why You Should Start A Podcast, while also shooting a Facebook live video so people could see the slight differences between the final edited podcast and what actually takes place when you're doing the recording.  A link to the Facebook Live video will be posted on my website.  To my surprise, I made fewer mistakes than I usually do and therefore less editing was required, but I still needed to do some tidying up before uploading.  I felt far more pressure today than I usually do because it was something I had not done before. But done is better than perfect, and things do get easier the more you do it. So, here are my 13 Reasons Why You Should Start A Podcast Having a podcast is one of the best ways to:  Stand out from the crowd Increase business referrals Strengthen networking relationships Connect with leaders in your industry Become an industry leader and expert Connect deeper with your existing clients B...

If you’ve been tuning in over the past couple of weeks, you’d be aware that I’ve recorded the last two podcasts in Vancouver and Powell River. This week I travelled from Canada to the United States to attend one of my favourite events of the year, Business Black Ops in Arizona, organised by Dave Frees.   You may recall the name Dave Frees as he’s been a guest on my podcast twice already, Episode #2:  Communication, Persuasion & Influence  and a Bonus Episode  Force Multipliers . Awareness & Alignment  The theme for this year's Business black Ops was Awareness and Alignment, and it was once again a brilliant three days of learning and networking. On the second day, we did a field trip to  Top Golf in Scottsdale. Now if you’ve never heard of Top Golf, I’d like to point out that it’s more than just a driving range and a place to wack a few golf balls. Top Golf, as described on their website, is a global sports entertainment company, and I hav...
