When dreams and reality collide... • Several years ago I reached out to one of my favorite writers/speakers/mentors.I was just beginning to get my footing on creating a new life for myself. • I bravely PM’d this gentleman, and even more bravely told him I wanted to write a new take on Napoleon Hill’s classic personal development book “Think And Grow Rich”. • We’ll just call that naive optimism...and a bit of what Napoleon would call a “burning desire.” ;) • This gentleman I’d PM’d was none other than bestselling author Bob Burg. (You gotta give me credit for boldness. ;) Bob, had written one of my favorite books “The Go-Giver”. It was a business and life-based parable. And it informed many of the concepts I built my businesses and life around. • Well, Bob, being the amazing guy he is, encouraged me to write the book, and said he’d do his best to read it when it was done. • What I didn’t know was that it would take me many years to actually be ready to write the book I wanted to create. Like, 6 1/2 years. (I still have the PM!) • Well, I finally finished my book, Closing The Gap, and nervously asked Bob if I could send him a copy. He said sure, but that he couldn’t guarantee he’d have time to read it. (He was wrapping up his latest book.) But read it he did, and he was incredibly complimentary. (Yay!) He then asked me if I’d be a guest on The Go-Giver podcast. • Let’s just say I was thrilled...and terrified. What an honor, and what an amazing full circle. • Thank you Bob for being the real deal. Kind, generous, and wise. And thank you for taking the time to encourage me...and for helping me to believe in me. Appreciate you my friend. ❤️ • Click the link in BIO to hear our interview.

Some special moments with my main dude. Manny was the last edition to my pack. He’s always been a bit of the mischievous sort, a little bit of an outsider, but even more so, he’s been laid back, sweet, and one of the most affectionate dogs around. He was the last dog I thought would be depressed by the loss of another one of the pack, but it’s been fascinating to watch. Ever since Belle passed he’s been mopey, down, and just not quite himself. So even though I’m super busy, I’m trying to make sure I spend some more time with him. Of course, he’s always got the TGD crew, but often he has to be away when the nasty dogs are out, for his safety. That said, I might just be bringing home a surprise for him tomorrow. I can’t disclose it just yet, but stay tuned and we’ll see if it happens. If it does, it means this handsome, but depressed little devil will likely turn into the world’s happiest dog.

So many of us get caught up in what’s been done to us by others. We hold onto toxic feelings of trespasses, betrayals, and various injuries. • The problem is, the more we hold onto to these feelings, the more damage they do...to us. The people who’ve done (or been allowed to do!) these things have to find their own way with their conscience and find their own redemption. • But, that’s their life. • Your work is to look after you and ensure you’re able to shake off these experiences in order for you to move forward and live the best possible life. • Of course, there’s lots of ways to go about this. We can read helpful books, listen to insightful teachers, share the experiences with friends and family, and even seek the help of a therapist. • All of the above are great, and can be extremely helpful. But of all these, there’s one approach I’ve found to be most helpful. It’s not really a hack, because it involves a ton of work and honesty. • Here’s the approach: Dig deep into your own mistakes, trespasses, moments you regret or are ashamed of. Explore all the worst of you. Not to punish yourself, but to gain perspective. • When we can honestly look at our worst, it gives us an amazing ability to view the worst of others through an entirely different lens. A lens of understanding, compassion, and empathy. • Now this might cause you to bristle at the thought of forgiving someone who’s done you wrong, but remember, this work isn’t for them, it’s for you. Once freed of the toxic ugliness that goes along with judgement, anger, despising, you’re free to soar...and maybe even find some happiness. • And I can promise you, happiness will elude you as long as blame and resentment are emotional states you keep stoked with daily focus and upset.

. You never know who you might help... • We just received these unspeakably dangerous goodies, and this awesomely kind note from...Ireland! Apparently, our Facebook posts and videos helped Lisa see prong, e-collars, and balanced training in a different light. • She was struggling with her dogs and had hit a wall. With the help of our stuff, she went in search of a balanced trainer, and found one. Her trainer Dave managed to help her get her crew and herself into an entirely new space. • All of this culminating in the ability to walk her two troubled dogs together, through her town. A feat previously unthinkable. • It’s a great reminder that if you’re a trainer, sometimes you won’t ever see the client, but that doesn’t mean you won’t change their life. And that’s kinda what it’s all about. • Thanks so much for the card and goodies Lisa!! ❤️ • Now, to see how to ration these little lovelies so as not to bust my buttons! 😂

. 60 Second Training Tip: Be a leader worth following... • So many of us want “that” dog. You know the one, the dog that always comes when called, the dog who’s polite with strangers, the dog who you can take anywhere. • The problem is, we often don’t want to do the work to become the equivalent of what we desire. We don’t work to learn to read our dog, how to use the tools correctly, how to master timing and mechanics, and also, how to manage our internal states. • We want this amazing dog, but have we really done the work to be an amazing owner? • If not, we’ll find ourselves in a continuous cycle of frustration, disappointment, and likely chaos. And we’ll often blame the dog, instead of who’s really responsible. • Want a great dog, be a great owner. • P.S. Of course there are exceptions. There are great owners that do the work and still struggle. These are owners saddled with 1%er dogs. Be sure you’re 100% honest about your level of effort and commitment, before you decide your dog is the issue. :)
