In this episode of the You're Making Me Podcast we'll cover ways to stay excited about your goals by Igniting a burning belief in yourself.

If you've read my book Diamonds and Silver, you might recognize it as the first lesson our hero learns.

This week's Top X of a Topic is on the same topic. X=3 this week, which means I'll count down the three top ways to ignite a burning belief in yourself.

Other than that, I've got some news to share, and a little bit of gossip.

In this episode you'll learn:

Why I want you to stop whispering, “I love you,” at work
What it means to go Oliver Twist on something
The balloon technique and how it applies to motivation, and why you should NEVER visualize RED balloons.
I'll give you an example of an “Fake it 'till you make it” horror story. I'll also tell you why you should still fake it anyway.
What I believe is the best motivator know to exist
What pouring wine into a glass of vinegar can teach you about changes in your life

Other items mentioned in the podcast:

The current XMind package – You get the Visual Productivity eBook, the tutorial videos, and the companion workbook free if you get it via my link.
99 Red Balloons (With Lyrics) [YouTube]
John Travolta Strutting [YouTube] – An example of how to walk with swagger (to Staying Alive by the Bee Gees). It still works.
Diamonds and Silver [Amazon] – A link to my book. Ignite a Burning Belief in yourself is the first lesson from the book.

I was thinking about an awesome quote I remembered from the show, The Unit. I binge watched all of the episodes a while back, so I forgot where the exact quote was. Luckily, I was able to do some “Research,” by re-watching parts of some of the episodes.

This quote has probably stuck in my mind because Dennis Haysbert has an amazing voice, and can make anything sound good.

“They're ready for someone, but they ain't ready for us.”

Snake Doctor (Dennis Haysbert) in The Unit
