Does everything happen to you or for you?
In an instant, everything could change for the better, or worse. In the unexpected turn for the worse situations, are you a victim of circumstance? Or, do you take your part of the responsibility, learn the lesson and turn that sour lemon into sweet lemonade?
If we wish to be healthy and happy it requires full accountability and responsibility for our life. Every choice we’ve made has brought us to the exact place we sit right now. No matter where we’ve been (good or bad) we’ve been the common denominator. This means -- in almost all cases, we are the cause of the effect (outcome/situation) we are in at that moment.
Part of ‘adulting’ is to own our life and quit hiding behind lies and excuses. When things get tough, it is easy to fold under pressure. It’s simple to point fingers and blame someone or something else for the situation we are in. But, I believe our soul knows when we are bullshitting ourselves, and others -- and, as a result -- it defeats our happy spirit.
Today's episode is about taking full accountability and responsibility for a horrific situation. And you’ll hear love, grit, perseverance, and climbing one’s way to the top from the very bottom. In this case, prison!
In this conversation, Kier talks about the lessons he learned in prison. How difficult it was to re-emerge into society when no one would hire him. Nor, accept his application to return to college. It would have been easy for him to sink into more darkness and lead a self-destructive path. But, through his determination and passion for wanting a good life, he beat the odds and now has a thriving 7-figure business. Kier now leads an amazing life ‘clean and sober’ with a mission to help addicts kick the habit through a modern approach to recovery.
You will love Kier’s zest for life and will appreciate his extraordinary accomplishments since graduating from a New York prison (yes--graduating. He says it was definitely a form of education!).
If you, or someone you love, have addiction issues -- you’ll definitely wish to listen in!

If you had to narrow down to the ONE THING that you believe is holding you back from achieving everything you dreamed of, what would it be?
Could it be as simple as not “Asking” for what you want?” On a scale from 1-5 -- 5 being you are an Expert Asker -- how would you rate your Asking willingness and ability?
This episode is all about learning how to ASK. My guests, Mark Victor and Crystal recently wrote a book called Ask! They claim that much of not getting what we want out of life is a direct result of not asking for exactly what we want out of life.
A starting place they offered in the interview is to begin by asking yourself these crucial questions:
Chances are that you are not asking the right questions. And, you are not asking others to help you in your quest to manifest your goals and dreams. Merely asking sounds pretty simple. But, it tends to be one of the most difficult things for us to do.
Why?
Because of those same demons that continue to sabotage our potential: guilt, shame, fear, avoidance, and/or lack of clarity of purpose. Most especially the fear of being rejected by being told “no.” We give up all those “yeses” in fear of getting an occasional “no.” Which, at the end of the day -- keeps us playing small! Robbing us of ever reaching our potential.
I took copious notes during this interview.
