How to Thrive in Business & In Life
Just finished reading The Aging Myth by Joseph Chang, PhD, (now available on
Amazon and Barnes & Noble) on the latest in what both science and nature reveal
about how we can influence the health of our cells – and ultimately our quality of life – as we age.
What I love about the book is that woven throughout is Dr. Joe’s love of life and his passion for
people to be able to live it fully.
Enjoy!

Just received a copy of The Aging Myth by Joseph Chang, PhD, an exciting book for all of us
who want to “live better longer”. You can get your own copy at major booksellers, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Enjoy!

I recently returned from visiting my business team in Paris & Lyon (for the first time!),
where I experienced the privilege and the power of a business based on developing people
and relationships. Below is a “montage” of the people and experience which I put together
for myself and my family, and for my partners and friends in Europe.

Enjoy!
Enjoy the quick video tip below, and may it contribute to creating
lasting and purposeful change for you on your path of personal transformation.
Enjoy!

Reading a fun little book The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks
that gives a powerful, potentially life-changing perspective
on something we probably all have experienced, even if we’re
already thriving and living an abundant life.
What is it?
It’s the tendency — when we’re feeling really good or things
are going really well — the tendency at some point to experience
something -– either a thought or apparent circumstance…or
something we ourselves do -– that suddenly “pinches off” the
good feelings and essentially sabotages us from moving beyond a
certain internal and unconscious pre-programmed “thermostat” that
won’t allow more than a certain amount of good…or of good feelings…
…into our life.
Sound bizarre?
Well think about it for a moment.
How many times have you had a moment when you’re feeling really good,
and then remember something that suddenly deflates your balloon?
Or how many times do you find yourself circling around a certain weight,
health problem, level of income, or arguments with a loved one, no matter
how good your intentions to change?
In shining a light on this phenomon and making us aware of it, Gay
empowers us to no longer be unconscious victims of our own patterns.
Gay calls this the “Upper Limit Problem” and he goes on to give many
examples and later in the book gives some specific ways to
change it –- but already by simply shining a light on this phenomenon,
he’s triggered a whole other level of awareness in me as I watch my own
patterns –- and catch myself about to “pinch off” my good — and therefore
I’m now able to make a different choice…sometimes simply by chuckling
at myself and taking a deep breath…or by saying “Yes!” before a knee-jerk
“no” –- that can now open up new vistas of possibility and experience…and
allow in more good…
How about you?
How much “good” can you handle?
Ever encounter the “Upper Limit Problem” in your own life, business, health,
or relationships?
Perhaps this moment of reflection will trigger a chain reaction that can blow
the lid off for you as it has for me, and you can begin increasing your
capacity for allowing and receiving good.
Look forward to hearing your own experiences, feedback, and questions in the
