Habits 2 Goals: The Habit Factor® Podcast with Martin Grunburg

"Are you interested in achieving your life's goals and becoming successful or are you committed? Understanding that difference changed my life!" ~ John Assaraf Habits2Goals is proud to present a personal development, living legend, Mr. John Assaraf — bestselling author, CEO of NeuroGym, business growth expert and leader in the field of brain research and brain retraining. When John was 19 years old — broke, jobless and spiraling downward — he met a business mentor who asked him a question that changed his life: "John, are you interested in achieving your goals or are you committed? If you're interested you'll take the easy way, but when you're committed you will do whatever it takes. You will change your beliefs about yourself." John never looked back and found that we all have the power to change our lives.  Learn about "Innercise" neuroscience of success and goal achievement — and how John Assaraf became the poster child for how dramatically your life can change once you learn to master your mindset.

"The mind creates the abyss; the heart crosses it. " - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj This Magnificent Mind Bullet Monday is inspired by a powerful quote: "The mind creates the abyss; the heart crosses it." Sometimes our thoughts and our reasoning can create problems, especially when it comes to goal setting. When we overthink things, the "abyss" gets bigger and bigger as we rationalize our way out of our hopes and dreams.  But when we quiet the mind, instead of focusing on the obstacles, we can commit -- and then solve the problems along the way! Listen in to hear how dialing down your thinking and throwing your heart into your goals can bring you untold rewards! Enjoy! *** New listeners: By texting the word "HABITS" to the mobile phone number "33444" you will instantly receive your "hack"/habit tracker/habit development template, or you can download it here: thehabitfactor.com/templates.

"Remember, it's rarely either/or; it's BOTH!" This Frequently Asked Fridays episode comes on the heels of our "What Are Your Favorite Self-Help Quotes?" episode.  This week, we go the opposite direction: "What are the worst self-help cliches?" Some of these platitudes are regurgitated so much they are actually painful to hear, misunderstood and detrimental to our well-being. The problem is, our life views don't have to be an either-or situation. Don't get caught up in a train or tract of thinking that may trap you! Listen in to hear the top three worst self-help cliches and why they are both true and missing some key ingredients -- and how they fall victim to dichotomous thinking.  Enjoy the episode! ***** New listeners: By texting the word "HABITS" to the mobile phone number "33444" you will instantly receive your "hack"/habit tracker/habit development template, or you can download it here: thehabitfactor.com/templates.

"In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is where flawed, or nonsense input data produces nonsense output or 'garbage'." For this Habits2Goals Mind Bullet Monday episode, we look at a fundamental concept that is at once simple and profound: "Garbage in, garbage out." In other words, our input produces our output. From a goal achievement standpoint, it's easy to see that habit is the input while goals are the output. But it isn't just about goal achievement -- "garbage in, garbage out" is applicable to multiple angles of life, from language to food to thought. In fact, what we put in equals what we get out. If we're putting in the wrong information -- or misinformation -- the results will be lacking. Listen in for a reminder to ask yourself, "Where is garbage flowing into my life?" Where are your results disappointing you?

"Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life; the whole aim and end of human existence . . . Our happiness depends upon ourselves." ~ Aristotle Our FFAF (Fantastic Frequently Asked Friday) is a doozy that falls into the realm of philosophy: What is the aim of life?  Stripping away the environmental contexts we all are ensnared in, several philosophies try to tackle the question.  Is the aim of life to be happy, a la the Dalai Lama? But what if happiness is choice, crafted for ourselves? Is the aim of life to be of service? Or, as Aristotle says, to better ourselves -- pursue virtue?  Perhaps the aim of life is multifold. Listen in for a fascinating discussion of the meaning of life -- and how habit contributes to the end goal.

"How do you want to paint your future? With a brush of fear and the wrong choices? Or with the brush of hope and going in the right direction?" ~ Henry J. Evans Today's interview — an important discussion about getting unstuck in life — connects with Habits2Goals' great friend and former co-host Henry J.

We ALL will come to a point when we get stuck in one area of life or another -- mind, body, spirit, social, finance, adventure, business -- the critical thing is how we respond. When you're stuck, you've likely created a fear-based story that keeps you from moving. When you find yourself lost and stuck, what are the tools to rattle yourself and get yourself unstuck and moving again?  Listen in to this interesting discussion about changing your physiology and "state" of being using some real, practical tips not to mention how to apply The Habit Factor method to get yourself UNSTUCK!

"Trust the process. Your time is coming. Just do the work and the results will handle themselves." ~ Tony Gaskins An inspiring Mind-Bullet Monday speaks to all of us: When something doesn't go our way in the moment, all is not lost. Accept what happens and trust the process — trust the universe. Too often, the story you create in your head can hold you back. "They're against me. It wasn't right. I've been treated unfairly." What if the story you're telling yourself in your head isn't true? What if you're exactly where you are meant to be, learning the lessons you need to learn? When life doesn't unfold the way you expect it to, how you respond is key. When you accept what happens and trust the process -- trust the universe -- so many good things can still happen for you.  Listen in and hear about how being a good sport isn't just an act. It's an acceptance that something good can still come out of a situation.
