Special Guest: Colby Dirickson from The Success Shift

Give a warm welcome to this week's special guest speaker, Colby Dirickson: US Army veteran, owner and CEO of a financial brokerage, fellow podcaster of The Success Shift, mindset coach, and certified NLP practitioner. Knowing how you want to provide value to others in order for yourself to feel fulfilled by your own actions that become your experiences is a big key in keeping your mindset positive and ever-growing. Since studying NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Colby is able to now offer elite coaching to his professional team as well as train them in successful communication with others when they go out and conduct business for themselves. When dealing with consumers, masterful conversations are imperative to whether a relationship is made or broken in an instant. Through careful attention to someone's unspoken words, you can discover their needs as well as any pain points they have to overcome. Once you realize you're in control of your choices, you can take full ownership of your life and design it how you want to see it. You have to be able to visualize what you want to accomplish by breaking down your limiting beliefs and doubts about what is actually possible for you. Overcoming your go-to excuses born within your childhood is necessary in order for you to outgrow your fears and failures.With purposeful structure, you can shift to the mindset of a successful entrepreneur. You have to believe that you are special enough to make it true. You can rebuild your entire mind and processing in as little as 12 weeks with the proper discipline and consistent regimen. With the right passion identified, it can drive you to the changes you need to make so that you can experience the future you once were only able to dream of.Coaching is the means to elevate yourself to your next level. It's the accountability that you're held to by your mentors and coaches that will drive you to want to do better and be more every day. Surrounding yourself with others you look up to is how you will learn to grow taller than you were yesterday. You have to form the right amount of confidence so that you can achieve your dreams in the ways that you desire. You must continue to learn from your mistakes and know that your failures are necessary to endure in order to strengthen you for the challenges ahead that you must overcome.Time doesn't wait. You have to grow at least 1% every day in some way. This is the easiest way to make success manageable and attainable for yourself. You don't obtain everything overnight, but rather by one action at a time and shifting accordingly with each move. You need to know how to educate yourself best so that you can discover new ways to outgrow the person you were just moments ago. Through experiences and knowledge learned from the time you've spent, do the things that get you closer to who you continue to strive to be as you evolve.When you live your life on your terms, you need to be able to just jump straight into the deep end. You can't allow your fears to make your decisions for you and hold you back from your successes. You have to stay systematically consistent to acquire your desires and stay committed to your own future. You don't have to make the biggest moves to make change happen. One incremental change a day is all you need to find yourself on the trajectory of a new life you didn't think was even once possible. More importantly, you have to know how you define and envision success for yourself. Learn to say NO now in order to be able to say YES later when it truly matters to the people you want to say YES to the most. Move on from the people who don't serve you right now and consume too much of your time or energy. Your path doesn't dictate your future, as long as you are willing to make the changes necessary. Your story is what makes you great. We're all unique and can learn new from each other. Always give more than you get.
