Set the Standard That Inspires Growth

What does it looked like to become "amped up"? What are the related impacts on others in our community?

Amped.

Amplified.

Fired Up.

Built up – to the Max.

That’s what amplifiers do for music. I am inviting you to make your own music.

I recently heard an inspired coaching call which addressed the topic motivation. Forget about motivating others for a moment – do you even know how to motivate yourself? The speaker revealed that outcome is not best reached by carrots (rewards) and sticks (punishments). Rather, your most positive outcome is related to how AMPed you are.

Autonomy.

Mastery.

Purpose.

Autonomy. I become the boss of me. I set my pace – I run my race. I am in charge of my successes... and my failures. I am accountable to myself. No excuses. Just results.

That is indeed a mouthful and not embraced by the average person. But check this out – I am calling you out, right now. I am inviting you, nay, compelling you, to step away from the masses. Stop comparing yourself to the Average Joe – stop limiting yourself and speaking on what you can't do. Self-imposed limitations tend to create a life of regrets, if you are honest with yourself. To motivate yourself, you have to be able to appreciate the freedom and joy of pushing your own boundaries.

Mastery. School is in session. The more I learn, the better I become. As I learn, I pull myself away from the masses. I step away from mediocrity, from laziness, from being spoon fed. I become a master at what I do and people seek me out.

And this attitude and strategy magically moves you to another class. Just think about when you go shopping and ask for help or specifications on a particular product purchase you are considering. Are you more impressed by the sales person who enthusiastically answers your questions or by the dude who nonchalantly checks in after his break and says he’s new and doesn’t know much about the product?

This is an obvious answer but I can summarize it in one statement --->>

Mastery exudes confidence.

Purpose. I choose to be part of a mission bigger than myself. Rewards are gratifying, and applause is exhilarating, but true success lies in helping others achieve holistic freedom. What’s the point of wealth if your health is failing? Or being in great shape but always having empty pockets?

The real victory comes from prioritizing balance—motivating yourself and others to pursue both wellness and abundance. Align your goals with purpose, and let’s create a life where health, wealth, and fulfillment thrive together.

Balance. Wholeness. Fulfillment. The victory is in giving others their life back. That is the REASON I am right here, right now – to make a difference. What about you – are you blending or are you trending? Get in gear – time is a’wastin'. . .

Are you AMPed now?

I am speaking to the heart of the leader in you that knows deep down inside, there has to be a better way. Here’s the rub – if you look just a little deeper, you will find that there is a better way and it is hidden inside of you, yearning to escape. I invite you to release it. To "free your freedom" – if you dare.
