Monday Morning Mojo with Anna Gibbs

None of us are promised tomorrow, yet many people live a life of mediocrity. Big dreams are quashed as we navigate adulthood. Staying in our comfort zones is seen as being safe and reliable. Yet, to may people’s disbelief, “we’re better than we think we are and we can do so much more than we think we can.”

In today’s episode Anna welcomes her special guest, Kevin Hall, a highly sought after business consultant, speaker and coach. Kevin counts John C. Maxwell and Stephen R. Covey as his mentors and lives every day with purpose and abundance.

Kevin encourages each of us to embrace our vision of what we want in life. If we all spend just 15 minutes each day reenergizing our souls and taking care of ourselves spiritually and physically, then we will start to see opportunities opening up for us. The world is looking for leaders and we need to be ready.

Listen in as Anna and Kevin discuss the meanings of these 4 principles of living an abundant life:

1. Love will always find a way.
2. Knowing you’re enough always creates enough.
3. We is always greater than me.
4. Abundance always says yes.

Why is it so easy to complain? Whether it’s something your boss said to you at work or something your spouse did that makes you crazy, it’s all too easy to complain. But is complaining solving the problem or just making you a gossip?

Sometimes we just need to vent – which can feel cathartic – but normally us venting brings about venting from the other person. Soon we’re sitting in a cyclone of complaints and negative feelings without any real solutions in sight.

Listen in as Anna explains:

1. How complaining produces a vicious cycle of negativity
2. What you give (complaining) you get back (complaining)

As an homage to author and speaker Bob Proctor, Anna dives into his teachings about the power of our minds. Bob was living proof that changing your behavior can change your life because he grew up poor and dropped out of school yet he became one of the premier teachers of the Law of Attraction and the power of thoughts.

No matter what your life circumstances right now, YOU have the power to change them. It’s not easy and it will be a test of your patience but there is always some action that you can take that will start to change the course of your life’s path.

One of the most powerful things you can start implementing is choosing your words wisely because we are always listening to what those voices are telling us. As you change your words, naturally your thoughts will begin to change. As your thoughts change, so will your feelings and behavior.

Listen in as Anna explains:

1. The difference between the unconscious and conscious minds
2. How our inner minds control our behaviors
3. Why wishing for change won’t work
4. Why having a vision for your life is so important
5. The steps necessary to reprogram your thoughts
6. What it means to “attract what you think”

Do you sometimes feel like you’re running a race on a never-ending hamster wheel, always trying to catch up on tasks at work and at home? Or maybe you’ve bought into the idea that multitasking is a good way to reach your goals and show your value at work.

In today’s episode, Anna talks about the myth of multitasking but also how to discern between productivity and busy-ness.

So, what's the difference between being busy and being productive? Being busy means that you are doing a lot of things while being productive means that you are achieving your goals. It's possible to be busy with little progress while being productive requires focus and efficiency.

Listen in as Anna explains:

1. Why keeping your goals in view will help productivity
2. The Pareto Principle and why a short list of focused tasks will bring maximum results
3. How time blocking your calendar keeps you focused
4. Why planning and reflection are such important steps toward reaching your goals
5. Why deadlines and urgency can yield big results

• We can’t manage time, only our behavior and how we choose to use our time.

This week’s special guest is Dianna Kokoszka, an Entrepreneur, Master Coach, Keynote Speaker, Author and Mentor. As an award-winning business leader, she has established herself as a prominent figure in the real estate industry and business world. Dianna is intentional about adding value to others everyday.

Dianna’s latest project is Becoming More, her first published book. On this episode Anna and Dianna talk about everyone’s innermost desire to become more and the struggles we sometimes face along the journey. Some key points that were discussed:

• The inspiration that led to Dianna to write the book
• The surprising reason attitude and mindset are not the same
• What’s causing the pervasiveness of Learned Helplessness
• What's holding 95% of people back from reaching their goals
• Easy to implement strategies to change your thinking to unlock abundance
• The biggest lesson Diana learned from being mentored by John Maxwell for 25 years
• The Be-Do-Have approach to life

Everyone will have different takeaways from this conversation but one pivotal statement that many people have a difficult time understanding is that changing our lives is a choice. It’s also a choice to stick with the status quo. Nothing about change is easy, especially if you’re talking about changing careers or relationships, but growth is found on the other side of our comfort zones.

Another surprising fact that Dianna shares from her research is that 95% of people want to change their lives but only 5% take action to make it happen.

He is a world-renowned transformational coach, author, and speaker. His passion influences each individual to shatter limiting beliefs and transform their lives and businesses.
