I’ve been working like a maniac for the last two weeks to get all kinds of big updates ready for you – more to come in my mega year-end wrap-up post next week! One of the major projects is getting ready to kick-off the biggest, baddest, most awesome Make Sh*t Happen course yet in January (with the [...]
Goals
Big goals bring us alive. They call us forth, add meaning to our lives, and help us bust-through our own upper limits reach our fullest potential.
The paradox of big goals is that the more potential they have to change our lives, the more paralyzing our fears can become. That’s what change is all about: breaking down so we can build ourselves back-up — stronger, more confident, more alive.
Are you ready to Make Sh*t Happen?
I’ve got a 10-week course called Make Sh*t Happen that will help you take your biggest, scariest, hairiest goal from “improbable” idea to inevitable success. Learn more and sign-up to be notified about the next launch here. In the meantime, read about two of our recent success stories: How Devin Termini lost 85 pounds and changed his life, and a Q&A with Shannyn Allen: From Broke Grad Student to Rockstar Blogger.

It was early 2009 and I felt like my book was being suffocated by fear. Scratch that — I was actively suffocating my book WITH my fears. They had the Microsoft Word file in a choke hold for almost six months and they weren’t letting up. I remember going for one of my weekly walks [...]

Check out this amazing before-and-after photo: Beast mode indeed!! As part of the course, I provide 50+ case [...]

I wanted to make the most of my five minutes, so I treated it like a mini-keynote. Nicole and I spent [...]

She used to work with Seth Godin and The Domino Project as [...]
You all know how much I love when the LAC community can help people out with their big goals. The other day Al Smith, a long-time reader and all-around awesome guy, reached out to me about HIS big scary goal — a book on career advancement, the origins of which started after he was passed [...]
