During my trip to Vegas, I felt like having a cigar. By chance, one of the men I sat alongside was the owner of a multi national, $100 million company. We got to chatting about our businesses, the similarities and differences between them, and other "business-y" things. Then the conversation shifted. In today's episode, I'd like to share with you all, some of what he shared with me.

It's okay to win. It's okay to be successful. It's okay to feel good about yourself and what you've accomplished. Every week my team and I write down some wins we had over the previous 7 days. They don't all have to be work related, they can be personal. This allows us to support each other and have feel as if we have people rooting for us. Give it a shot. Write down a few things that happened to this week. You'll be shocked at what it does for your mindset.

No really. Not "what are you alright with doing?" or "what's your dream job?" I literally mean, what do YOU want? I took some time these past couple of weeks to day dream a little bit and write down some things I want to do. After a lot of thought and serious self reflection, some of the things I actually wanted, weren't what I was expecting.

Feel stuck? We all do from time to time. Don’t worry or feel bad, it happens. Today, we're going to go over an exercise that helped me to finally get unstuck. I go through my list of wants partly to hold myself accountable for speaking this all into existence, but also to remind you that you can only make things exist because you MAKE them exist. Write down your wants and commit to them.

I once had an old manager tell me "it takes seven years to become an overnight success." He told me that when I was about 19 and the older I get, the more I start to see he was right. You can't pick up a guitar one day, and the next be Brian May. You (probably) aren't going to win the lottery and finally build your dream home. And you definitely aren't going to "luck" your way into a successful business. It takes years of hard work, dedication, and failure. But if you put in the work, day after ...

Today's lesson is about… well… lessons. I wanted to look back at how we learned in school versus how we learn as adults. Mainly the fact that, as an adult, the tests come before the lessons. This means we often fail the first couple of go-arounds. Don't get discouraged. Keep going. It's called the Pareto principle by the way. - Kyle

Today's episode is a bit of a shorter one but I promise you it's packed with the same value as every other episode. A lot of the questions I get about podcasting revolve around "how to start." So rather than having me sit here for an hour telling you what I've learned over the past few months, I've managed to squeak out some time from one of the leading experts in the podcasting world, Sebastian Rusk.

nice In this week's episode of Friday Fire, I wanted to talk about our tendency (I hope it's not just me) to sabotage our joy with unnecessary rage. We can't allow minor inconveniences to completely ruin our day. I'm not saying I'm perfect. I used to get super irritated about a lot of little things. But I've been learning to leave the negativity on the ground, because whatever you hold in your mind becomes your reality.

We're all aware that business is systems, processes, procedures, and if you put money in theoretically you should get revenue out. We can't let ourselves forget that the keys to this kingdom we call entrepreneurship, are located in the space between your ears. This "game" is 90% mental.

I wanted to talk to you all today about how you judge yourself. You have to compare yourself to others in the right context. Compared to your idols, you're below average. But compared to your old high school buddies, you're well above average, maybe even top of your class. Being average in a sea of excellence is something to be proud of.
