If you’re somebody who has an urge–even a compulsion–to help others, this article is for you. Because sometimes that impulse to help backfires and blows up in our face. You’ve noticed that, haven’t you? Healthy helping can be a real challenge. I’ve been having this conversation all month with coaches, parents, artists, entrepreneurs, and tech company CEOs. Especially as we move deeper into living lives focused on Love and Legacy, this question comes up more and more: “How do I help others without hurting myself?” Unhealthy helping feels terrible. That’s how we know it’s unhealthy. Perhaps you feel used, burnt out, taken advantage of, or without choice… as if you have to sacrifice your own well-being or be a bad person. Ick! Ick! Ick! This dynamic totally sucks. And your “Money Honey” doesn’t dig it either. Remember, nothing is more attractive to all forms of abundance than authentic self-love and self-care, and harming yourself is not loving! Here’s my quick-and-easy tip for s...

I was talking about one of them with my client a few years ago… as she had gone on a paddle board outing. We both love how on a paddle board you have to be alert, strong and aware, yet you can’t be tight, in control or rigid or you fall off… it’s SUCH a metaphor for life and SUCH a great way to see how your partner reacts to life. I just LOVE paddle boarding at my sister’s cabin at the lake in Canada, or near my friend’s place in Long Beach. I’ve boarded on reservoirs in Montana and with my friend down in Dana Point on Mother’s Day. My son and I just went one weekend in Marina Del Re and saw these sea lions adoring their new home on the back of a killer yacht! You really have to let go to the waves, while staying open and alert… if you paddle board with a date, this makes you really sense how you and your date will navigate life’s mystery. AND once they’ve got the hang of it, it’s very similar to how they’ll be making love… will they tense up if things get choppy? Do they look down...

Strong relationships with others are vital components of a healthy and happy life. Those that are able to build connections with other people tend to lead longer and richer lives. Those that cannot maintain relationships are more likely to experience loneliness or depression. The effects of both are detrimental to the health of both the mind and body. If you experience difficulty connecting with others, there is a way to build stronger relationships. Whether that be at work or in your personal life, the formula is the same. Communication is Key I often get asked the question, “Brian, what is the key to building successful relationships?” And my answer is always the same: Communication. Much of your success in life is going to come from your ability to communicate well with other people. Successful people know how to communicate and have taken a lot of time to improve their skills. Communication is just as important in romantic relationships, friendships, and business relations...

Q: Before I was married, all of my friends were male.  I don’t know – I just connect with the better.  That is how my husband and I met.  Now that we are married, he has an issue with my guy friends. His point of view – as long as he doesn’t know they exist, I can have them in my life. That just doesn’t seem right to me. I try to honor him by making sure all my friends are female but I don’t know if he is in the wrong telling me to hide it or if I should be ashamed for considering male friends? A: I can only imagine the frustration and confusion this must be causing. On one hand, you want to be open, honest, and connected with your husband while expressing the full authenticity of who you are and what makes you comfortable. On the other hand, your desire to be fully open is being met by a request to remain closed off in one aspect of your life.

Simply put, successful people are goal-setters. Goal-setting applies to every area of our lives. We set goals for our careers, relationships, families, finances, etc. Our ultimate goals, however, set the course for our lives. The ultimate goals define the direction that we go in. Unfortunately, some people never achieve their ultimate goals in life. They limit their self-confidence and they limit themselves. Learn how to set achievable goals. Get my FREE 14-Step Goal-Setting Guide. Identify Your Limiting Step One of the most valuable exercises you can engage in when setting long-term goals is to ask yourself, “What is my limiting step?” What is the one factor that determines the speed at which I achieve my goal?

It is a huge step towards building self-confidence. Your capacity to eliminate this limiting step is one o...
