Thank you all for being faithful listeners, you're awesome. Keep up the great work!!

You can always follow me on social media, teencatalyst.com, and by listening to the Constructive Liberty podcast.

In other words, teach your children to operate within their natural strengths.

It’s the same with life, when you feel you have a purpose, your WHY, things just flow for you. It doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy, or that you’ll enjoy every aspect of it. But it DOES mean that you can see where you’re headed, rather than just blindly charging ahead through life. 

Your WHY is the measuring stick you hold up to everything in your life. “Should I take this job”, “should I move to this city”, “should I get married to this person”, etc. All you have to do is measure that against your WHY, and it will give you instant clarity on your path forward.

Key to Life: Don’t Be the Smartest Person in the Room

While it’s great for your confidence (and your ego!) to be the smartest person in the room, it also tends to stagnate your learning. Because when you’re the smartest person in the room, what more is there to learn there?

I think it’s important to continually learn along the journey of life, and in order to keep learning, you have to be okay with being the person who doesn’t know something. Be okay with not knowing. Admit that you don’t know and then purposely seek out spaces and communities that can teach you something new.

At some point, you might become the person that others look towards as a teacher, and that’s great! Be willing to teach others what you know, but also be willing to spend time in a different room – the one where you aren’t the smartest person, and in fact might be the person who has the most to learn.

Her key is, take time to rest and recharge.

Here's the confession: I've really, really struggled with burnout! And it wasn't until a month or so ago that it clicked! I was reading an article for moms, and the author made the comment, "You can't pour from an empty cup." And I cried! I was trying to do so much on my own strength, and it was impossible. There is a reason God commanded us to rest! We were not designed to take all of the stress of life on ourselves. We HAVE to rest and fill up our strength of mind and body so we can keep going for our loved ones and our own passions and interests! Since then, I've been making more of an effort to take more guilt free rest periods so I can give my family the Mama and Wife they need. ~ Sara

One of the things that helps me to win at life is cleaning as I go and keeping things organized. When my house gets messy and things aren’t where they are supposed to be, it throws everything off and takes so much longer to finish a project. Like when I am cooking in the kitchen I like to clean up as I go so there isn’t such a large overwhelming mess at the end. It also helps to be very organized so I can quickly find the bowl, knife, seasoning blend, etc.. when I need it and I don’t spend half my time looking for something. Like the saying goes, “A place for everything and everything in it’s place.” If you make it a habit to have a place for everything and put it back in it’s place when you are done using it, then you not only save your time and sanity looking for it you also save money because you won’t run out and buy another thing when you can’t find the one you already have.

Go get organized, and do good work.

Today's key comes from Alan Bechard:

Having good friends and associating with good people is a crucial part of a successful and happy life. You need to pick friends and strive to be with people that are honest and true while they are successful at the things that are important to you in life. As you go through life, seek out those that are accomplishing what you desire, those that you wish to emulate, those people that are working along a similar path that you are striving to go down. If you surround yourself with people who's values do not align with your own, you will find yourself going astray from your values. We all slowly adapt and adjust to the people that we surround ourselves with. You can make the conscious choice to choose those that you surround yourself with and associate with, make sure that you are making wise choices. In conclusion, the people that you surround yourself with are both a reflection of who you are, as well as an indication of your path forward and who you will become. It is important to choose those people wisely as you go through life.

In Matthew 7:12 he said to "do to others what you want them to do to you".

Recognize that each person has their love language, learn it, and treat them from that perspective. Just like you would hope others would do for you.

Often referred to as the "Media Darling" -- I am a former investigative news journalist turned financial & business development strategist. I am a licensed financial professional.

I created 6-figure revenues in my first 6 months, as an entrepreneur (and single mom) and then multiple 6-figures in revenues within my first three years.

My students span 12 countries and have generated over $7.4 million in free publicity appearing in the New York Times, Forbes, Huffington Post, and on CNN, BBC World News, and FOX — to name a few.

Here's a few of the questions we touched on in the show:

• How do you select the right college, to maximize your chances of a scholarship / full ride
• What other things do you need to consider / research
• How do you minimize your, and your parent's assets, so that you receive maximum FASFA
• How do you enter the 0% tax bracket and start to build wealth, as soon as you're working
• How do you become your own bank, so you can fund your own dreams
• What happens if you take this advice, but decide NOT to go to college?
• What else can you use your money on? (VERY different to the College 529 Savings Plans)

Listen to Teen Catalyst

You have a goal but doubt you can achieve it.  You think dreams come true for others but are not possible for you.  Even if you have some faith that it might happen, you aren’t sure where to start.  It begins by working backwards from the results you desire.  Imagine yourself adopting the identity of a person who could get those results.  Ask yourself, “Who is the type of person that could get the outcome I want?”  Identify the characteristics, qualities and habits of someone who would achieve your desired result and incorporate them into daily life now.  Learn to operate like some who has your goal.  Wake up every morning and embody the person you are on the road to becoming - your future self.   

Some questions to ask yourself to get your wheels turning:

1. What are my interests?

Think about the hobbies you have, how and where you enjoy spending your time. Do you like spending time with people, animals, computers, books? What activities would you miss the most if they were taken away from you?

2. What are my skills?

Think of the hard skills and soft skills you've acquired in life.

3. What are my strengths and talents?

Think of the things you're particularly good at, as well as things that people come to you for help with.

4. What is my personality?

Are you a leader or followers?

Do you prefer to work alone or in a group?

Do you prefer to cooperate or compete with others?

Do you enjoy helping others or prefer to empower them to do things themselves?

Are you a thinker who focuses on ideas or are you a doer who takes action?

Are you a creative and artistic person or do you thrive with structure and routine?

Also consider your values.

If you want to chat with a real live person and talk your way through these questions, just send an email to coach@teencatalyst.com and we'll set a time to connect.

Several people answered yes, but sadly, several said no.

"the only way to do GREAT work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, DON'T SETTLE. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.

Todays key comes from Toolman Tim at ToolmanTim.co:

How The 1% Better Principle worked for me. Two years ago I started a YouTube channel. As a 38 year old, bearded, quiet spoken fella, talking to himself in his basement office, I knew literally zero about content creation. However c

My audio was barely audible. I tried a shotgun mic, a corded lapel mic, and a cordless mic. I set them up in multiple locations, watched every video I could on improving sound quality, I nearly tore my hair out. But the end result was great audio. I spent way too much time editing my content. So I forced myself to do single take videos. This allowed me to put out more content in the same amount of time. Not easy, not comfortable, but I improved.

I knew live-streaming was another key to success. I had unstable internet in my studio, so I moved to my office. I tweaked the lighting, adjusted the audio, got a new backdrop, but most importantly I kept live-streaming every single week. Each time I did something dumb I didn't do it again.

If you are a numbers person, 1% improvement daily leads to 3800% improvement annually. None of this would have happened if I didn't commit to being uncomfortable, trying new things and getting 1% better every day.

The first comes from author and leadership coach Robin Sharma,

“My best investment, as cliched as this sounds, is the money I’ve spent developing myself, via books, workshops and coaching. Leadership begins within, and to have a better career, start by building a better you.” ― Robin S. Sharma

The second quote is from legendary NFL coach Tom Landry:

“Really, coaching is simplicity. It’s getting players to play better than they think that they can.” ― Tom Landry

Find a coach or mentor who can get you to perform above and beyond what you believe is possible. Then you'll have no trouble hitting every goal and building every dream.

Do the Next Thing

I am able to “win at life” by getting things done. When I have multiple tasks that need to be completed, trying to do them all at once makes me feel frantic and overwhelmed. I hinder myself from doing any of the jobs efficiently. I become impatient, irritable, and unpleasant to be around. I have learned that I need to stop, take a breath, make a list, and do one thing at a time. One by one tasks get done, and I can confidently move on to the next thing. I may get interrupted, but if I have a list to come back to, I know exactly where I need to start again. As the tasks on my list get crossed off, I have a definite feeling of success and winning!

If you want to create a roadmap to winning at life for your teen, just send an email to coach@teencatalyst.com with the subject line "Winning at Life", and a short paragraph about your situation.

Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

Fill out this form to get on a call with me to create a clear path forward to an IMPACTFUL life and career for your teenage son.

Impact is what we're all about here at the team catalyst podcast, creating lives that impact the world because we're all creatives we were created to create.

We're made in the image of God, who is a creator and we're made to create, and we have the ability, the privilege of creating the life that we want to live the life that brings us fulfillment and joy in. So often comes through the greatest joy and fulfillment comes through impacting the lives of other people.

It comes through stepping in and filling a need for others through creating positive impact. I'll say that again, success is not measured in the amount of dollars you make, but in the amount of lives you impact.

So, what exactly does it take to create impact? You've probably often heard me say if you've been around for any amount of time that I've identified five keys to an impactful life and career, that's your mindset? It's your relationship? Your health, your wealth and your purpose. When you can identify those five things, when you can build those up to where you want them to be, to where you're happy and comfortable with, where each of those things are, you have the ingredients, you have the makings of a massively impactful life, a life that can change the world.

So many times people like to separate their life and their career. Like I've got my life over here. I've got my career over here and never the Twain shall meet. But when you take these ingredients, you take those keys to an impactful life and you use those to identify. You know, the things that you're good at, you, you identify your strengths, you identify the gifts and talents and abilities that you've got you build on your relationships.

I kept setting New Years resolutions and failing. The failures were hard on me, I don’t like to fail. The feelings that I wasn’t good enough would start to creep in. One New Year’s eve, 30 years ago or so, I made a life changing decision. I would no longer make resolutions. Instead, I set a daily goal of 400 laughs a day. It was a big enough number not to track and still give me the incentive to look for things all day long to laugh at. It didn’t happen over night but that striving to laugh brought things into my life to enjoy. I started seeing the funny side of the world, the funny things that happen all day long that I was too busy to laugh at. Laughter has great health benefits, people enjoy being around me, and I feel GREAT. It was a wise decision that I keep up every day.

Listen to Teen Catalyst

Here's what he had to say:

Never Stop Learning: Our ability to find connection and correlation between seemingly disparate things sets us apart as unique beings (makes us human). The ability to recognize pattern is the foundation for learning. Whether a child learning that a specific sound (a word) has a meaning or an adult learning the correlation between gravity, electricity and magnetism, our brains are wired to make connections from the day we are born to the day we pass. I contend that if we stop learning, we cease being who we were made to be... human. Learning equals growth and conversely a lack of learning equals decline.

Learn, do, grow.

Be human. Fulfill your God-given potential.

Do good work.

Listen to Teen Catalyst

― Winston S. Churchill

“He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;

Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;

Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;

Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;

Who has left the world better than he found it,

Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;

Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;

Whose life was an inspiration;

Whose memory a benediction.”

― Bessie Anderson Stanley,

“Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value.”

You may have heard of mindfulness and thought it was only about being calm or helping you deal with stress. But did you know that mindfulness can help you lift your mood and become a happier person more of the time?

It’s easy to get stuck in a negative mindset and stay focused on the things that aren’t working in your life. Your self-talk can become all about your weaknesses or failures. Negativity becomes your habitual way of thinking. Mindfulness can help you turn that around and get into a more positive thought pattern. As a bonus, mindfulness also has positive health benefits by reducing stress and enhancing your resilience and mental capacity.

Here are three ways mindfulness can help you out of the negativity spiral and into a happier state of mind.

Stay in the now

Practicing mindfulness can help you refocus your attention on the here and now instead of anxious fast-forwarding to future problems or brooding over past mistakes. Mindfulness slows you down and reconnects you with what is happening at the moment. You can notice and appreciate the good things that are in your life right now. Being mindful can also help you stop being reactive and instead be more thoughtful in how you respond to people and situations.

Be more connected

Mindfulness brings you into a deeper connection with yourself and with others. It gives you time and mental space to work out what matters to you, and what are your values and beliefs. You learn that happiness lies in knowing yourself and being comfortable with who you are.

And when you are your authentic self, you can connect honestly, openly and straightforwardly with other people. Relationships can become more profound and more heartfelt.

Enhance contentment and gratitude

One of the beautiful effects of mindfulness is the release from the treadmill of consumerism. You stop investing in externals for your happiness. Money, external approval, worldly success, and possessions no longer hold sway over your self-worth.

Mindfulness focuses your attention on what you can control. Living an authentic life, attuned and aligned with your values encourages and supports your inner wellbeing. Your happiness becomes self-sufficient.

Cultivating mindfulness can open your mind to feeling gratitude for where you are and what you have right now. ‘You are enough’ is not just a slogan, it is an affirmation that you can be your best you, and live the life you want.

This marks the beginning of a project I've been dreaming about for some time, the creation of '101 Keys to Winning at Life'.

The first key comes from Donovan Dreyer, a mentor of mine, and coach to teens:

I believe Gen Z should become the greatest generation of all-time. They have access to every expert in history and their mentors can serve them from anywhere on the globe. The uncertainty in the world has heightened anxiety for so many. We can team up to create the future we want for our kids like never before. Your first step is to tap into the support that is available in the form of coaches, mentors, trainers and educators who have the specialty and genuine care your kids need.

Find more about coach Donovan here.

Here is where you can find the book mentioned in the podcast, 'What Color is Your Parachute?'

― Shannon L. Alder

You are unique. God designed you and only you to be you. There's no one else who can ever fulfill the place you were designed to fill.

Dive deep into discovering your full uniqueness with a DISC personality profile here: https://www.personalityservice.com/portal/MMZX/store

Establishing and maintaining good habits needn’t be as much of challenge as it sounds if you take a micro habit approach. Instead of having big goals like ‘get fit,’ ‘lose weight’ or ‘get a new job,’ break them down into smaller more achievable goals. Treat your personal goals as if they were work projects. Work out what steps you need to take to succeed.

Start by working out what changes you want to make in the various parts of your life, from health to the office and your home life. By making some small changes in your life, you can make radical progress towards achieving your goals.

The Mastermind principle consists of an alliance of two or more minds working in perfect harmony for the attainment of a common definite objective. Success does not come without the cooperation of others.

Negative self-talk is what holds us back. It keeps us from accomplishing the things we could and can affect our health if it goes on long enough. On the other hand, positive self-talk is what gets us where we want to go. It boosts us when we need a jolt to set us into motion. It inspires and enables us to get to where we want to go.

The question I asked is, where parents start who are new to homeschooling and want to maintain the necessary studies, while also giving their teens what they need to keep their mind activated and interested in what they are learning.

Where is the dividing line between letting them jump from topic to topic exploring everything that happens to capture their attention, and keeping them focused and moving forward on the things that will help them create a life they actually enjoy living? 

• Home
• Career/work
• Love and family relationships

If you missed it, I'm giving away a free 1-hour coaching session (for teens) to the first 5 people who send an email to coach@teencatalyst.com with the subject line "8 Elements Free". Write a short paragraph about why you want coaching, and the possibilities you imagine for yourself over the next year.

Everyone wants to live a happy, fulfilled life, right? It’s a no brainer! Look around you and notice the happy people who seem to roll with the punches. No matter what life throws at them, they find contentment and meaning wherever they are.

So how do they do it? What do extremely fulfilled people do that you’re not doing? Here are some suggestions.

1 They know themselves

People who are content and fulfilled have a good idea of their strengths and weaknesses. They don’t berate themselves for not being perfect, but they focus on what they do well and work on the things they could improve.

A good team needs people with different strengths and talents. If you’re an extrovert who loves people and organizing, you’ll excel at arranging functions, events, and conference. If you’re more analyst or a researcher, your strength is probably preparing reports or explaining data.

2 They stay connected

Humans have a natural inclination to connect. Millions of years ago, survival depended on being committed to the group. People who are content and fulfilled in their lives tend to maintain healthy social networks. They stay connected to friends and family. They prioritize spending time with the people they love and have lots of support to rely on when things get tough.

3 They believe in themselves

People who go about their lives or are dissatisfied tend to have low self-esteem. They don’t expect things to go well for them and they stay in their unhappiness. Fulfilled people, on the other hand, have solid self-esteem and quiet inner confidence that life is pretty good. Confident people tend to have more friends and are more successful generally. Confidence sets up a positive circle that breeds more success, more happiness, and more confidence.

4 They are grateful

A big difference people between who are content and people who are a Negative Nancy is that the happy people are grateful. Not just for their success but for everything in their lives. No matter what else is going on, fulfilled people can always find something to be grateful for.

Gratitude is an excellent habit to cultivate. The more you focus on the good things in your life, the more good things there will be. Gratitude is energizing and positive and generates its own momentum.

5 They have a purpose

People who are happy and fulfilled don’t just wait around for good things to happen to them. They have a purpose in life that is aligned with their values, and they just go for it. Extremely fulfilled people focus on doing what they feel they were made to do, what brings them satisfaction at the end of the day, and what makes a positive contribution to the world.

9 Habits of Successful People Every Teen Should Master.

1. They Set Goals

Successful people know what they want. More than that, they actively set goals in order to get what they want. Having goals in mind doesn't count either. You need to write your goals down, and then break them down into an action plan.

2. They Stay Healthy

Staying healthy is key on the road to success. A proper diet, solid exercise routine and getting enough sleep are 3 of the most powerful things you can do. Being healthy will let you focus on the pursuit of success and not worry about always getting sick or fatigued.

3. They Face Fear

Fear is one of the biggest roadblocks to success. Just think about things you might have missed out on because you were too nervous to take a chance. Successful people feel fear just like the rest of us, but instead of giving up they face it.

4. They Learn

It is kind of a shame that school ends so early in our lives. Some people feel like that means they are done learning. This couldn't be further from the truth. A commitment to lifelong learning will propel you towards success by keeping your mind sharp, and your skills up to date.

5. They Stay Organized

There may be a handful of geniuses who are able to create and think surrounded by a mess, but for the rest of us "normies" a cluttered space is nothing more than a distraction. You will save time, energy and boost focus if you keep your space neat and tidy.

6. They Keep Balance

What is the point of success if you don't take time to enjoy it? Hard work is clearly important but remember to relish the good times along the way. Having a life balance will keep energy levels high and give you something to look forward to besides work.

7. They Take Time to Think

Do you ever make time to just think? Successful people do. They know that being successful means continually thinking "what next?". If you want to be more successful, schedule 20-30 minutes of quiet thinking time into your day.

8. They Surround Themselves With Inspiring People

If you want to be successful, it helps to have successful friends. Besides the doors they may open for you, having successful friends will inspire you. You will learn what makes them tick, and it's never a bad thing to have a likeminded social circle.

9. They Plan Their Day

Do you ever find yourself wondering what to do next? Successful people don't. They take time to plan their day, because they know that the time invested will pay off. Taking half an hour to plan your day, could save countless hours of wondering what to do next.

Today I want to talk to you about the POWER of mentorships. Mentorships help people by giving them the push they need to get to that higher level. A mentor can show you the possibilities of where you could go.

Recognize that vulnerability is an actual leadership competency, and that peers, colleagues, and direct reports crave relatability and transparency in their leaders. The higher you are in an organization, the more warped and blurred your view becomes of what's really happening on the ground. So, remember not only to focus ON the business, but work IN the business as needed. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. What actions are required for you to demonstrate the vulnerability that allows those around you to do the sam?. ~ Dave Hollis

Protect your brain. Just because you can't see your brain doesn't mean it's not there. Invest as much energy caring for it as you do for your heart, your lungs, your skin, and other more conspicuous organs. Are you willing to become the family or community pariah in order to save a life? Dramatic? Yes. Accurate? Even more so. Protect your brain. ~ Daniel Amen

We often think of self-discipline as being focused on doing something in particular. Although that certainly is true, excercising the self-discipline NOT to do something can exponentiate your creativity and productivity. If you were to establish a greater degree of self-discipline tomorrow, is there one recurring habit that, if you could improve upon, modify, or eliminate, would have a disproportionately positive impact on both your confidence and your ability to progress something enormously important to you? What is that thing that you need to eliminate in order to progress something in your life forward? ~ Ryan Holiday

1. Understanding the magic of compound interest
2. Make intelligent financial decisions

3. You need to learn how to create a budget.

When you approach times of upheaval with a mindset of growth, you:

• learn to embrace adversity
• become more adept at challenges
• become better at seeing the opportunities
• cultivate positivity
• develop more empathy

If you can focus on the person you are becoming rather than wallowing in the sadness and the tragedy of whatever you're facing, that is what will pull you through and help you to grow.

Here are a few tips about how to manage your energy levels so that you can be ready for anything at any time.

• Determine the time of day when you're the most energetic.
• Identify the things that drain your energy.
• Be consistent in the way you handle your situations.

Time is an illusion. There's no such thing as time management, there's only activity management in the time that we're given. ~ Thomas Leonard

Now let's jump into 6 steps to adopt if you want to stop overthinking and create a new outlook on life:

1. Check your thoughts
2. Look at the bigger picture
3. Do something
4. Start your day out on a high note
5. Give yourself a break from worry
6. Let go

Send me an email at ken@teencatalyst.com to find out more about my Teen Catalyst program! Or schedule a call with me through the link below:

https://keap.app/booking/kennetheash/office-hours

Here are 5 symptoms of when overthinking goes wrong:

1. You start believing the lies.
2. You start worrying more.
3. You have trouble concentrating.
4. You lack mental energy.
5. Everything seems to be moving too fast.

If you feel like you are on a dangerous path with your thoughts, find someone you trust to talk to. You can't always see yourself clearly, especially when your thoughts are running around in circles. Overthinking is not an easy thing to overcome; you have to take the time to learn to redirect those thoughts. Don't get caught up in the negative, but learn to embrace the positive.

How has overthinking affected your life? Do you find yourself getting caught up in the trap of overthinking? How have you been able to overcome that obstacle? What steps are you taking now to overcome it? Let me know at ken@teencatalyst.com.

So many people struggle with not knowing what their purpose is in life, but the truth is that finding your purpose really isn't that hard. Finding your purpose is actually very simple, but it does take some work.

I hope you enjoyed this miniseries on the 5 keys of an impactful life. You can find the links to listen to the other 4 episodes in this miniseries below:

Key #1, Controlling Your Inputs: https://www.podcast.teencatalyst.com/episode/key-1-control-your-inputs

Key #2, Focusing on What Matters: https://www.podcast.teencatalyst.com/episode/key-2-focus-on-what-matters

Key #3, Quality Relationships: https://www.podcast.teencatalyst.com/episode/key-3-quality-relationships

Key #4, Personal Finance Management: https://www.podcast.teencatalyst.com/episode/key-4-personal-finance-management

Email me at coach@teencatalyst.com or ken@teencatalyst.com and let me know what your purpose is, or what it is that you're interested in and maybe skilled at, but haven't yet figured out how to serve others with that yet. I'd love to have a conversation with you to help you to figure out how to serve others with your passions, interests, and skills.

• Key #1: Controlling Your Inputs
• Key #2: Focusing on What Matters
• Key #3: Quality Relationships

Today, we're talking about key #4: Managing Your Personal Finances. Your personal finances have an impact on everything you do in your life, from the vacations that you take, to the lifestyle that you live.

If you can learn how to properly manage your personal finances, you will be so much farther ahead in life than most other people that you will ever come into contact with. Managing your finances is much like the rest of life; you have to sacrifice what you want now for what you want the most in the future.

If you can shift your mindset around relationships from an obligation to a mindset of curiosity about other people and what motivates them, people will like you more and will be drawn to you like a magnet.

Lack of direction, NOT the lack of time, is the problem. ~Zig Zigler

Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Focus on your character, and not your reputation. Focus on your blessing, and not your misfortune. ~Roy T Bennet

Focus goes hand-in-hand with key #1: Input. If you're focused on the right things, you'll take in the right things. You have to be aware, and put your focus in the right place.

Draw a picture of a venn diagram (three circles slightly overlapping each other, creating small overlapping areas with an area in the middle where all three circles overlap. These three circles represent your circle of concern, your circle of influence, and your circle of control.

Now I want you to write down a few things that you're concerned about. Create another list of the things that you have some influence over. Then write another list of the things that you can control. Some of these things might overlap.

Where you need to be placing your focus is on your circle of control. If some of those things overlap with the other circles, then those are the areas where you are likely to have a greater impact. Focus on those things, and you will be much happier for it.

1. Controlling your inputs
2. Focusing on what matters
3. Interpersonal relationships
4. Personal finances
5. Fulfilling work

If you have those 5 keys downpat, you have everything you need to create an amazing life. Today, I will be diving a little deeper into key #1, controlling your inputs.

Only when you make the right changes to your thinking do other things begin to turn out right. ~John Maxwell

If better were within, better would come out. ~J.R. Rim

What both of these men are trying to say is what goes into your mind (the things you focus on and purposely think about) affect everything about your life, including the way you act.

A lot of people say you can 'think' yourself rich, but that only works if, as you think about those things, you begin to see and act on the opportunities that come your way. With the good actions come the good outcomes that you're hoping for. So, with better input comes better output.

Philippians 4:8 says, "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things."

Why is self-discipline so important? Practicing self-discipline is an integral part of every aspect of life, and is a major key to achieving your long-term goals. Self-discipline is not something that you just have; it is a skill that you have to constantly work at in order to see results.

Contrary to popular belief, self-discipline isn't just being hard on yourself or living a restrictive lifestyle. It is simply the act of self-control.

What do you need to do in order to develop self-discipline in your life? Is self-control something you already implement into your everyday life? What has helped you the most in your journey of self-discipline? I'd love to hear about your personal experience in implementing self-discipline in your life; the things that have helped, as well as the things that just didn't work for you.

Send me a message on MeWe! I'd love to talk to you about your personal journey.

If you enjoy listening to my podcast, I'd love for you to fill out a short survey about who you are as a listener, and what kind of content you love to hear on this show!

Going big and trying more things is often the best way to create success. When you take enough chances, and create enough output, eventually you'll be sure to have at least one success under your belt. Now, that can be a secret to guaranteed success, but don't underestimate the power of working smart.

What it means to work smart is to be strategic in the way you approach a problem or ambition. It's aiming your approach in such a way that you can "shortcut" your way to success, and accomplish more with less effort.

This is where the 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, comes in. The Pareto Principle states that, in everything you do, 20% of your effort brings 80% of your success.

Send me an email at ken@teencatalyst.com! I would love to hear what you are going to apply the 80/20 rule to, and what kind of results you are expecting to see.

So, what is assertiveness? Assertiveness is an important skill for effective communication. It allows you to communicate your wants and needs in a healthy manner. So many people tend to interpret assertiveness as being hostile or even rude. There is a right way and a wrong way to being assertive, and one of the key factors is tactfulness.

A good way to practice this interpersonal skill is to assert your opinions in low stress situations. Go out and practice being more assertive in a non-agressive and non-confrontational manner.

There are 5 key foundations to living an impactful life:

1. Control your inputs
2. Focus on what matters
3. Interpersonal relationships
4. Personal finances
5. Fulfilling work

Everyone has a purpose in life and a unique talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals. ~ Kallam Anji Reddy

The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others. ~ Albert Schweitzer

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them. ~ Dalai Lama

Fear is our biggest detractor from confidence, and when we give into those fears, we diminish our chances of developing confidence in ourselves. Confidence is about knowing the difference between a frivolous decision and a wise decision.

Here are the 5 main limiting beliefs that destroy your self-confidence:

1. Having a poor body image
2. Feeling the need to alter your mental state
3. Believing that you're not worthy of love
4. Living in fear of rejection
5. Believing that you will never be able to achieve your dreams

Create the belief in your mind that you WILL succeed. When you squash the hope of going after your dreams, your confidence will take a hit, and in turn will affect almost every area of your life.

One of the things I like to do when helping teens figure out the direction they want to go in their life and their career is with the DISC assessment

The DISC Model of Human Behavior is essentially a personality assessment. This assessment does not put you in a box, but is simply a model of human behavior that helps you to better understand yourself, so you can use that understanding to chart the course of your career.

In 1995, blindsided by her 14-year-old daughter’s suicide attempt, Jackie entered a world of depression, addictions, medical mysteries, and deadly silences.

The journey into the world of mental health services and cultural taboos left Jackie feeling lost and alone.

“OK” on the outside, with “really, I’m fine,” her most frequent response to inquiries about how she was doing.  Jackie hid her deep, psychic wounds from the world behind a façade of frantic entrepreneurial activity.

Then on August 3, 2019, Jackie’s now 37-year-old daughter, broke the silence. Jackie wasn’t ready. She calls August 3, 2019 the day her “purpose tapped her on the shoulder.”

Please join me as I interview Jackie and we go on the journey that launched the mission to stop teen suicide.

Here are the 3 biggest career mistakes that teens make:

1. Thinking that they'll go to college and figure it out there
2. Deciding on a degree program without first trying out that career field
3. Not interviewing multiple people who have or have had a job in that field
4. Teens go for a "safe" job
5. Not taking themselves into account

If teens would take the time to understand their personality and how they work best before deciding on a degree in a certain career field, it would save them a lot of time, effort, and even heartache in the long run.

3 mistakes that new service-based businesses make:

1. They post in random Facebook groups
2. They create an online presence and then sit and wait for business to come to them
3. They call up their friends and family to ask if they have a job for them

3 things service-based businesses do right:

1. They talk directly to the people they want to do business with
2. They make a specific offer
3. They ask for a referral

What is your side hustle? Let me know what mistakes you've made while starting out your side hustle, and also what changes you're going to make in the future. Send me an email at coach@teencatalyst.com.

The problem with that is, so many people don't know what they want in life. They don't know what they're working for, or what it is that they are creating. If you don't know where it is you're going, or what it is that you want, and you start moving forward, so often you end up moving in the wrong direction.

Character figures massively into the big picture of your life. Everyone has both positive and negative character traits. When you possess and display those strong character traits that you admire, that is so necessary for living a life that you can be proud of! Do you have those traits that you think are important?

Now is the time to take stock of your own character traits. Consider what's important to you regarding your character, and then write down your goals and the steps you need to take to achieve them in your life plan.

Daniel Burnam said this, "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir man's blood. Make BIG plans. Aim high in hope and work."

Partner relationships and having a family are at the top of most people's list when it comes to having what you want in life. A deep, enduring love life can improve your health, and even increase your lifespan. You want someone who will not only build you up, but come alongside you in your dreams and help you achieve and accomplish your goals, while also accepting your help, love, and friendship in achieving their life goals as well. Your close connections with others make up some of the most fulfilling parts of your life, so address what you want in relation to your love life and family life in your life plan.

A supportive network of friends helps you to be more satisfied and content with the life you have. In order to live your best life, you want to have awesome friends that you can engage with on a regular basis.

"If you love the life you live, you'll live a life of love."

Continuing the conversation about designing a plan for your life, today we are talking about career and work. Since your career will encompass about a quarter to a third of your life, if you work full-time, hopefully you will love what you're doing, and will have a great passion for it!

Work is your bread and butter; it's what supports you and your family. It's how you are able to live life. Your career is the very basis of your financial life, and it brings stability and the necessary routine that we all need in our lives.

Grab a notebook and start recording ideas and thoughts that will form a new and revised plan for your life. Spend some time thinking about the various aspects of your life: your home, the career you want to get into, relationships with family and friends, your love life, etc...

Life isn't perfect all the time, but it's a reasonable goal to feel satisfaction, joy, and a sense of comfort and well-being in your own life.

Jim Rohn said it this way. "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much."

Mark Houlahan - "If you truly want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and every day you have the opportunity to write a new page."

Thomas J. Watson

Before you can put your time and knowledge to the proper use, you first have to know what the proper use IS. That takes vision and purpose, knowing yourself, understanding your gifts and talents, and discovering the creativity God has given you.

The "proper use" is putting that vision to work creating impact on the lives of other people.

Discover your vision, put your time and knowledge to work ON that vision.

That's power. That is WISDOM!!

Remember, each and every one of us contains a part of each of the four basic personality types, but we do have a high type in our personality that we are more akin to. Each basic personality type has its strong and weak points, but no one type is better or worse than the others.

https://www.personalityservice.com/portal/MMZX

The Inspiring type is outgoing and people oriented. They are very inspiring, and make people feel great when people are around them. When there is a group of people around, the "I" type is the last person to leave. They like to make things happen; they are stimulators, and agents of cause.

The Inspiring type is also very impressionable, and easily influenced. They can make great leaders, but in many respects they are also followers. They have such a strong desire for people to like them that they will do just about anything it takes to please other people.

Here are 7 things confident people do differently:

1. They know where to find happiness.
2. They are not really interested in what everybody else is doing.
3. They pick their battles.
4. They know when to speak confidently.
5. They look for challenge.
6. They know how to fail.
7. They do not need the spotlight.

The amazing thing about all of these traits is that they are so easy to develop in your own life by taking the time to build self-confident habits. You'll be amazed at how quickly you become one of those fantastic people who really believes in themselves.

Zig Ziglar said it this way, "positive thinking will let you do EVERYTHING better than negative thinking".

One of the exercises I take teens through in the Teen Catalyst Experience is reframing negative self talk.

Instead of "I wish" or "I want", change it to "I will" and "I can".

Share this podcast with someone you know could use a confidence boost.

• 70% of US Americans study at a 4-year college
• 30% of college enrollees drop out after their first year
• 56% never graduate
• 27%, graduates who actually work in their degree field
• $28,950, Average student loan debt (2019)
• $25,2950, average cost of college per YEAR (tuition, book, transportation, meals, room & board, etc)

This translates to a LOT of people with massive amounts of debt for a degree they'll never use which they'll takes years and years to pay off.

What would it look like if you could design your career path BEFORE going to college. If you could discover what your gifts and talents are, know what you enjoy doing, and how you love to create value for others??

What would that mean for your future?

It’s often the things that scare you that you need to lean into in order to move forward in life. If the thing that you want doesn’t scare you, then you probably don’t want something big enough.

Today, I’m going to share a few ways that you can regain that self-confidence that you lost.

So often we set goals for ourselves that we have such a hard time achieving. This happens because we’re going about it all wrong.

True change happens from the inside out.

Atomic Habits by James Clear

Why should you care about self-care? Why is it important? How can it help you? Here are just two of the many benefits of self-care.

• It’s been shown to reduce stress.
• It can improve your mental health.

There are many self-care activities that you can do. Here are a few examples:

• Yoga
• Take a hot bath
• Enjoy a cup of hot tea or coffee
• Journaling
• Meditation
• Spirituality practices
• Get a massage
• Listen to calming music
• Cut down on your screen time

Make sure to keep yourself healthy physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Self-care is a vital part of your health, so never be afraid to take some time for yourself.

I hope you take the time to consider how for you've come.

I hope you take the time to:

• thank those who had helped you get to where you are today
• consider the impact you want to have on the world
• think about the person you want to become

What is it that differentiates between failure and success for those people? According to researchers, the thing that differentiates between success and failure is setting specific and challenging goals.

That doesn't mean you have to try to do everything at once. Trying to reach for something too big all at once is a recipe for failure. If you want to go big, sometimes you have to think small. You have to change your habits to change your life.

"If you can dream it, you can create a version of it." ~ Dave Kauffman

"If your dream is achievable, then that should be a goal. You're not dreaming big enough." ~ Dave Kauffman

What can taking control of your mindset and envisioning your future do for you? Does a strong mental game have the power to change your entire life?

There is a common phrase. “Think big to get big.” This means that if your mindset and mentality are open to achieving big things your chances of achieving them are greater. There are many tools to help you embrace this mentality.

Steps To Success

• Write down your goals
• Create a vision board
• Share your ambitions with close friends
• Do your research - make a plan
• Revise, re-evaluate and measure progress

Making a list of goals and ambitions in your life that are important will likely put the idea in the forefront of your mind. Thinking about goals you want to reach is only the beginning though. Make a list of goals. Prioritize the list. Check off the most important goals on your list. Choose one to work toward.

Get S.M.A.R.T

When making an action plan to reach a goal get S.M.A.R.T. Smart goals are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time sensitive. If you focus on each of these areas you are sure to create a realistic plan for success. Making the goal something you can actually achieve helps increase your odds of success. Also, setting a specific and time-sensitive goal helps you focus on what you really want and keep you on track with dates and deadlines.

You Just Gotta Believe 

Changing your mentality to ‘thinking big’ does not happen overnight. Change takes time. Treat a change of mindset like a diet change. Make gradual changes and celebrate successes and you will be on track to turn these changes into habits.

Support Systems GO

Having a supportive group around you makes keeping a positive proactive mindset easy, even on days when your resolve is weak. A positive environment strengthens you for the journey to reach your goals and change your mindset.

Don’t wait until life is perfect. You can visualize, and create the life that you want, and the mindset needed to realize your dreams and goals. Just take the first step and start. Manifestation style thinking, hard work and a strong focus can make miracles happen. 

First off, you need to ask yourself what success looks like for you. What will your life look like when you can finally sit back and say, Wow, I really succeeded in life? What will it take for you to achieve that success?

One of the key factors to success is investing in yourself. That might look like finding a book to help you on your journey to success. You might invest in a course to help you become more confident in your abilities. Or maybe that looks like finding a mentor or coach that you can glean knowledge from. Whatever that looks like for you, invest in yourself and your future.

Have you ever set out to write a paper, or create some music, or develop an idea, and you just found that your creativity was missing? That happens to ALL of us! We reach a dead end where we simply run out of fresh ideas, and we fumble around helplessly looking for those solutions that just continue to escape us.

Today, I want to share with you five simple brainstorming techniques to get those creative juices flowing again.

1. Get an outside input.

Instead of just going at it by yourself, find the most creative people you can think of and have a brainstorming session with them.

2. Write down ALL of your ideas.

It doesn’t matter if those ideas are crazy and wild; write them down. They might be more viable than you think.

3. Be creative, and try something different.

If you can’t see a solution right away, try looking at the problem from a fresh perspective. Your solution doesn’t have to be traditional; there is more than one way to solve a problem.

4. Combine those ideas.

Whether you’re brainstorming on your own or part of a group, you might need to mash different ideas together to come up with the perfect solution.

5. Ask questions.

This works well in group brainstorming sessions. Encourage plenty of questions about everyone’s ideas. 

These are great problem-solving skills and make life so much easier. Use these techniques to brainstorm new ideas and solutions. You might discover new fountains flowing with ideas that you never knew existed. Problems are merely opportunities in disguise.

It must be:

INSPIRED BY VISION AND PURPOSE...FUELED BY OPTIMISM AND BELIEF...POWERED BY FAITH AND HOPE...POWERED BY FAITH AND HOPE...KEPT ALIVE BY STUBBORNNESS...AND IF WE'RE HONEST INCLUDES SOME FEAR OF FAILURE AND DESIRE TO PROVE YOURSELF...

That "IT" factor that drives success.....GRIT!!

Here's 8 skills you can develop to create your own GRIT:

1. Start first with fore thought.
2. Reflect on all the positive and negative consequences of a plan.
3. Keep your word.
4. Follow-up and follow-through.
5. Take calculated risks.
6. Be sure to establish a daily routine.
7. Evaluate every plan.
8. If you fail, get back up and try again.

    I started this podcast because I like to be able to make a difference in the lives of teenagers. I want to be someone who builds up teens and empowers them to live the life they want to live, to give them a boost as they step into the next phase of life.

    All of us are chasing the same goal: to be happy in our lives. It’s so much easier to achieve that if you can design a life and a lifestyle that fits what you enjoy doing, and where you are well prepared for the things that life throws at you.

While that’s the easy thing to do in the moment, it doesn’t do anything to intentionally create a life we LOVE living. You can fumble your way through a life and career you don’t enjoy, saving up for retirement along the way to try and enjoy the last few years of your life.

    But wouldn’t you rather live your WHOLE life as a happy healthy thriving human, rather than wait till you reach the moving target of retirement age to live on bare minimum income while servicing medical bills at the same time?

    It’s time to SHIFT your reality.

    Rather than thinking about what kind of career you want to get into, ask yourself what you see yourself doing in 15 years, if you could do anything you want.

    What does that look like for you? Are you doing a lot of traveling? Do you live on a beach somewhere? Maybe you’re a CEO for a multinational corporation.

    Whatever that thing is for you, you can make it happen. It just takes focus, planning, and intentional action. 

    
    

    So answer this question for yourself:

    "If I could do anything I wanted, what would I be doing in 15 years"?

    
    

    Actually take some time, sit down with a pen and paper, or computer if that's your thing. But go through the exercise. Think of 25 things you LOVE doing, 25 things you absolutely do NOT want to do, then come up with 5 ways to do more of what you love, 5 ways to eliminate some things you don’t like. Going through this process will change your mindset towards what’s possible in your life. Shift your mindset, shift your reality. 

    
    

    If you’re having trouble knowing where to get started answering that question for yourself, reach out to me and I’ll walk you through it. Just send an email to coach@kennetheash.com, or reach out on FB or MeWe.

But the truth that what we often perceive as disrespect, usually comes from a much deeper underlying issue. Often the source is the teen's search for identity and struggle for independence.

    Here's 5 things you can start doing today to combat this:

    1. Create A Trusting Relationship

    Trust is important for any relationship. If you want your teenager to listen to you, or consider what you say, you should earn their trust. You need to say what you mean, and mean what you say. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable by sharing difficult things with them. And always be honest and truthful.

    2. Empathize

    Remember, you were a teenager once. No matter how unreasonable your teen’s behavior may seem, try to imagine how they are feeling. Focus your attention on their welfare, interests, and needs. Let go of your judgements and critiques. Acknowledge their feelings, ask questions, and don’t try to run ahead in the conversation.

    3. Respect Them

    Do you want your teen to respect you? Teach them about it by respecting them. You earn respect by leading by example, rather than by fear and intimidation. Acknowledge their unique personality, ideas, opinions, and emotions. Don’t belittle them, EVER!! This one is HUGELY important, don’t criticize or trivialize their ideas or opinions as that can make them insecure as adults. When you treat your teens with respect, they will tend to develop respect towards you.

    4. Offer Help

    Most teenagers can take care of themselves and may not need your help. But, it is also mportant they know that you are willing and available to help them if they need it. Some teens may feel the need to do everything on their own and consider seeking help as a sign of inadequacy. Teach your kids that not everyone can do everything, and it is okay to ask for help sometimes, that’s part of learning new ideas and skill. You could also ask for their help in your own projects to make them feel involved. When they see you asking for help, they will learn that it's OK too for them to need help.

    5. Show Them You Care

    Your teenager may hate you or at least, say so. That’s probably not true. Also, they may see your discipline and strictness as hatred towards them and feel like you only want to make their life difficult.. You can mitigate their negative feelings towards you by showing that you care. Not only should tell them how much you love them, but also do little things in THEIR love language to make them happy. Show interest in what they are interested in (even if you have to fake it a little). This will help keep communication channels open for when they really need to talk to you.

    Just remember that our purpose is raising confident, independent, and IMPACTFUL adults, and the process will be much less painful.

50. Be yourself. 
51. Model good communication
52. Don't be afraid to compromise
53. Focus on the positive
54. Talk less, listen more
55. Problem-solve together
56. Don’t judge

Affective empathy (based on feelings, emotion)

Cognitive empathy (based on facts, objective)

Listen actively. Don’t be reactive, correcting, and offering your own insights until they ask. Find out the “why” behind what they're feeling.

Remain objective.

Understand pressure can backfire

Pressure is a motivator, and if your pressure is the primary motivator it can prevent your teens from developing critical life skills

Learn what's important to THEM

Most teens aren't unmotivated and lazy, they just aren't motivated in areas that YOU find valuable.

There are a number of different things that could be factors in causing a teen to talk negatively about themselves. From bullying by peers, to failing at something, or even a friendship turned sour.

Often times though it comes down to the language we as parents, teachers, and leader use in our conversations with teens. With a subtle shift in the wording we use, we can go from disempowering them, to giving them the confidence they need to grow into well rounded adults.

5 Innovator mindsets:

1. Learn to see patterns and connections
2. Be open to new ideas
3. Own your mistakes
4. Embrace diversity (ideas, approach, personality, etc)
5. Integrate the "digital world" into life when beneficial

Things to Know:

• # 1: A young adolescent brain can hold seven items of information, plus or minus two items, in working memory.
• # 2: The addition of emotion can help teens remember.
• # 3: The brain is social & requires interaction in order to develop properly
• # 4: Practice/rehearsal is critical to learning for the long term
• # 5: We take in more information visually than through any other sense. 

Helpful questions in engaging teens:

• What are some skills you would like to learn?
• What learning opportunities would you like to undertake?

Maintain an attitude of curiosity with your teens, and always remember, you goal is to help identify methods that will build upon your teen's strengths and lift their performance in critical areas.

Do good work.

Listen on

In this episode we discuss how finding what you're strong in and where you talents lie is like a sculptor chipping away at a stone to reveal a statue.

The main point is this, get curious.

Ask open ended questions.Stay judgement free. Remove your own preconceived notions and ideas from the conversation unless asked for. Allow THEM to do the thinking and sharing. 

All you need to do is ask better questions.

It's usually a desparate situation where the relationship has almost imperceptibly deteriorated over time until one day you wake up and realize there IS no relationship.

The key is to rebuild the relationship, which takes time. Get curious about the other person. Ask open ended questions with no agenda. Don't assume you know what they think or how they feel about something. And always remember whats important to them.

This one has to do with calculating the return on investment when considering careers, education requirements, pay scale, etc. 

Be sure to tune in to the next episode where we discuss different lifestyle possibilities and opportunities.

So many questions need to be answered.

I recommend starting by looking within and trying to understand how we're wired. Deeply understanding our likes, tendencies, preferences, communication styles, how we interact with others, etc.
