The Brendon Show

This time of year seems to FREAK people out, right? Unrealistic expectations, hurry, and lack of empathy and gratitude poison the holidays for too many. It's a struggle... What if a family member is a perfectionist (and won't chill out during the holidays)? How do you handle the obligations, the parties, the pressure to be everywhere, for everyone? What's the difference between high standards and unrealistic expectations this time of year? How do YOU find moments of peace and clarity in the chaos? Answers in this special holiday session. Originally shot LIVE during a special holiday session with Brendon, which you can still watch at www.Brendon.com/holiday

Yep, I don't do sponsors. We turn down every sponsor proposal. In fact, we've been told that we're the only podcast and YouTube show with so many millions of downloads and views not to have a sponsor. Why? Because I don't like ads busting in my ear, and I bet you don't either. So, I self-fund all my videos, podcasts, posts, and projects. That means it's only by your support of my posts, books, online courses, and live events that allows me to be ad-free. So - thank you and keep sharing. - Brendon

Successful people are creative and consistent in how they express themselves. They are happier because they pursue things they are truly passionate about, seeking their goals in their own unique way without conforming or trying to be "appropriate." Ask yourself these four types questions: Creativity in Conversation: Am I truly being myself when I'm in conversations? Do I share my true thoughts, feelings, frustrations, dreams? Do I feel like the best of me when communicating with others? If not, how can I open myself up? Space Creativity: Is where I live a reflection of who I really am? Have I designed or decorated my workspace to be uniquely my own? Could someone get a feel of who I am based on my space? Creativity in Contributions: How creative was the last presentation or contribution I created or shared? You can't blame your boss or timelines for stealing your creativity. You need to have the will to create unique things. If you're being rejected for who you truly are or for the contributions you find

How do you develop extraordinary people skills? Try a strategy called “Positive Projection,” which is about mindfully exuding positive energy toward others. Here’s how: 1. Honor Others’ Struggle. There is probably an area of your life where you are struggling, right? And you feel the people around you don’t understand, right? People around you don't know how hard you work and how much you have to deal with. Well, that feeling is exactly the feeling other people have, all the time! It is the same for everyone else. But we forget that. We don't see how much others struggle, which is why we forget to be kind and patient. If you want to be extraordinary with people, you have to honor their struggle. Keep in mind everyone is dealing with difficulty and you will be a more compassionate and supportive person, which is the kind of person everyone wants to be around.2. Take Enthusiastic Interest. To practice positive projection, you must become fascinated with others. You demonstrate this by taking active and enthusi

Brendon Burchard, a #1 New York Times bestselling author and the world's most followed high performance coach, shares how to use your calendar to become a better human. You calendar can change your life… if you’ll use those 12 months as a strategic plan for becoming the best you can be. Every month, try setting four kinds of goals: 1. Skill development. What skills do you want to develop this month? Have you put those skills in your calendar with specific goals and milestones? What level of mastery are you at now, and what level do you want to be at next month and the month after? 2. Health. Have you ever decided this will be the best year of health you’ve ever had? What are your fitness goals? Is that in your calendar, planned strategically? Do you have goals for how you’ll eat better, work out better, care better for your overall well-being? Put those in the calendar. 3. Fun. What level of fun do you want to experience this year? Have you planned adventures and escapes? Have you scheduled time off or de

If you raise your standards in these 5 areas, you dramatically improve your life: 1. Health. Have you ever said, "This is going to be the year I get in the best health of my life"? If not, this is the year to do it. Improve your health and becoming happier and more energized and effective happens almost automatically. Raise your standards on how much sleep you get and how well you eat and take care of your body. 2. Focus. Distraction is stealing our lives. Get more focused on what you desire in this hour, this day, this life. Bring your awareness to this moment and what you want to be doing and experiencing now. That will help you be more conscious and more easily spot distractions. 3. Boldness. Where you are in life right now is a direct reflection of how bold you've been up to this point. How boldly do you share yourself, your ideas, your needs and dreams with the world? How courageous have you been to fight after you've fallen down. Demand of yourself to be more bold and you'll feel more confident and i

In a world where few people take the time to show care and appreciation, greatness is achieved by acts of generosity. When you are generous with your time, attention, love, and spirit, you stand out, serve your purpose, and define yourself as extraordinary.   Think about this: Who in your life deserves appreciation, recognition or love right now? Go be generous with them. Pick up the phone and call them. Tell them how extraordinary they are and ask if they need anything. Or write them a generous note full of appreciation and praise. Be one of the few inspired souls who live to cheer others on. You can help the world believe in themselves and other people once more.   Let this mantra drive your being and your service: Give and you shall receive. Give as much of your heart and spirit to this world as you can while you are here and you will know you’ve contributed your best, become a remarkable human, made a difference.   Greatness belongs to those who are generous.
