Find Out What Your Criteria For Satisfaction Are

This month, you’ll notice there will be somebody joining me for my Riffs. It’s Mike Bondurant. He is the head of the INLP center, Neurolinguistics Programming. It’s a school of thought that I’m deeply involved in and I think it is just tremendous in helping clients, helping myself, getting results quickly on really tough conflicts or questions or getting the things that you want in your life. I just find it practical and awesome and it’s just endlessly effective.

So Mike and I jumped on the mic, we went through a couple of different podcasts, he’s come on twice as an interview. I really think you’re going to like it but send me your comments and thoughts. As always, it’s really appreciated and it really helps us think about the show.

This week, I want to talk to you about a technique that I actually learned because I’ve been going through the school. I’ve gotten my certification on the practitioner level, I’ve been working on the master’s program and I just think this is the coolest thing ever. I’ve been doing it with my clients and I wanted to share it with you. It’s the easiest option to figuring out what is your criteria for satisfaction.

Confession - I'm not talented at Anything

We have been throwing around different ideas of what to chat about and the topic that came to mind was something that I think so many of us struggle with. I know I have and some of my clients talk to me about this. Mike, I'm sure you've seen this many, many times, but this question of talents and being talented, bringing those talents out into the world. The question is when I am a talented person who is higher functioning in a bunch of areas but I have no interest in doing it, I have a kind of I don't care mentality or you get into an existential, like what does it mean, who cares, forget it. That mindset kicks in and years go by, sometimes a lifetime goes by and you don't want to jump in and many people talk about it in terms of fear. You don't want to fear failure. You're afraid of following your passions. I thought we could break it down a little further today.
