by Joseph Ramirez
This is a podcast about ideas that made it to the launch pad but imploded before they left the ground. Lessons we learned, things we realized about ourselves, and reasons we don't follow through on our dreams.

I need your help - should we keep doing this podcast?
So, I haven't posted a podcast in almost two weeks. I'm losing interest. Maybe that means you are too. I'm not sure. Starting and leaving something to wither in the sun is a bad habit I have. Today I make some confessions about that, provide an update on my friend's podcast, and ask for your...

Time - who can master it
Goals are great but without a timetable for completion, they are nothing more than dreams. The last part of the SMART goals acronym is Time-bound. This is an essential part of measuring your goals, knowing if they are realistic and if they are attainable. Failure to establish a timetable can…

Realistic - don't kid yourself
Aim high but be real about what you can accomplish. This can be a very difficult conversation, but knowing your limitations is the key to finding success. Often people don't want to admit where they fall short. They see this are a threat to their self-worth instead of an opportunity to improve....

Attainable - let's be real about our goals
You have to do more than believe to achieve. You have to ensure that what you are attempting to do is possible. Now, there are times where you truly attempt to innovate. This can often seem impossible. It's important to be able to distinguish between the two. The different aspects of SMART goals...

Our greatest fear - a poem of hope
Don't be afraid to let your light shine. I first heard this poem quoted in the movie Coach Carter. It was an underlying theme in the movie and a powerful scene. The poem was only quoted in part and I later looked up the entire thing. I've often found it so encouraging. On this particular morning…

Measurable goals - if you can't measure its not happening
Do a tree falling in the woods make a sound of no one is around to hear it? I always hated this because you can't prove one way or the other. The crux of the question is can the sound be measured and if it can't does it exist? That's what is essential to a SMART goal. You have to be able to…

Specific - you can't hit a target if you don't know what it is
Letter "S" of smart goals is the word specific. You have to clearly identify what your target is. High level is good for brainstorming but if you want to actually achieve something, you have to define what it is first. Connect with me on socials!! Twitter: https://twitter.com/Workshop_Joe...

Talents - how many of us have them
How do you find your talents? Do some people just get lucky and find something they love or did they go and search for them? I think it's important to always be learning and trying new things. This week, go out and try something new. Connect with me on socials!! Twitter:...

You are special - just in case no one has ever told you before
My friend shared with me what an American idea success is. She had worked with young ladies in Eastern Europe and many of them had no concept of self-worth. No one had told them they were valuable or that they could accomplish anything worthwhile. She was often the first person to ever express…

Rest - be sure you take some time off

What if....
Today I wanted to share the poem If by Rudyard Kipling with you. I love this poem and read it often to remind me that uncertainty should not be feared. Our response determines the outcome. I hope this poem encourages you as well. Connect with me on socials!! Twitter:...

What is success - what are you aiming for?
I want to continue discussing success today. I was really spending some time thinking about our aim or purpose. So often we only look at the finish line but don't include the work it took to get there as part of our success. We've got to change this mindset. We have to define our progress as…

What is success - we need to look at it differently
Failure can be defined as the lack of success, but what is success? How you define success has huge implications. I want to take a step back and recommend you look at success differently. We'll have to spend more time on this topic but I want to get your wheels turning today. We also have a…

The fear of failure - an introduction
Before we dig deeper on failure and success, I want to discuss the fear of failure. I think that is the true reason we don't move forward with an idea. How that fear looks likely varies from person to person, but I believe it's this fear that often holds us back. Today we began to touch on this...

Why are we doing this?
Why am I doing this podcast? Let me tell you why. There is a very specific reason and it's because I'm trying to help my friend. Sometimes you need a little nudge and that's what this is. We are also going to talk about what holds us back. Today, I briefly go over the definition of failure. We'll...
