EP 041 - Big Bull Down with Jessica Portenier

Do you know what's exciting? The moment you get that "Big Bull Down" text from a friend who has put her heart and soul into filling her first archery tag. In this episode, Jessica relives the day she took her Roosevelt bull with her bow. From daily practice, learning how to use a diaphragm call, and gaining confidence in herself, Jess makes it happen.

I had the honor of meeting Jessica and her family early in 2019 at the Oregon Train To Hunt event in Ashland and I was quickly impressed by her go-getter attitude and willingness to improve in her weaknesses. 

I got home and then next week got a text from her say, "I want to get stronger, and shoot better. Where do I start?" Since that day I have been lucky to bring her on as an online fitness training client and begin a friendship with her. 

Listen in as she replays the story of how she capitalized on this opportunity and how this awesome moment has built her self confidence. 

Connect with Jessica on Instagram and of course, shoot her a CONGRATS message on a job well done. You can also head over to her collaborative blog to read her story and see more pictures from the hunt at doeandarrow.com

EP 042 - Understand Your Why & Initiate SUCCESS

Have you ever thought to yourself, "I'm never going to be successful"? (Imagine me with my hand in the air) I think we've all been there. 

Or maybe you go strong with new HEALTHY habits for a week or two and then "like always" you fall off track and sabotage yourself. 

In this episode, Steven and I are talking about:

Why new habits die off fast and what you can do to change the outcome.

Why people fall back into old habits so quickly and often.

How to rewrite the way you make decisions and follow-through.

Making a plan and not taking on too much too soon.

Understanding “YOUR WHY” BEFORE you do anything else.

I also include a challenge for you to help you discover what your BIG GOAL is, your driving force to achieve it, and how to stay committed. 

If you want to dig in start with this accountability challenge.

Get out a piece of paper and THOROUGHLY answer these questions:

-WHAT IS YOUR GOAL?

- WHY DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE IT?

-THEN DISSECT YOUR WHY, BREAKING IT DOWN AND GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE ROOT OF IT BY ASKING YOURSELF WHY YOU WANT EACH OF THE THINGS YOU STATE.

For example: I want to feel good about my body. Why? Because I want to be more confident. Why? So that I can get out more and have a social life. Why? So that I can meet the man of my dreams. (that example may or may not apply to you, but I think that you get the idea).

-WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL HURDLES THAT MAY ARISE WHILE YOU WORK TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL?

-WRITE DOWN 1-2 IDEAS OF HOW YOU CAN PREVENT OR OVERCOME THOSE HURDLES/EXCUSES.

Year End Review [pt 1] with download

Are you ready for some real momentum in your life? Start with a Year-End Review that will uncover pivotal insight into who you are, and how you work, without beating yourself up.

I love this quote from Bill Gates, “Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.” but I think it goes way deeper than that.

With increased consumption of social media, surrounded by "influencers," and living in a world of comparing our lives to one another, staying in your lane is hard to do - even with the best intentions.

Let's begin the 2019 reflection and talk about some things that will help you move the needle in the new year:

What did you accomplish this year, and what served as a learning tool?

How to not tie the “didn’t happen” goals into a failure category.

Tips to overcoming the New Years' resolution mindset and working on growth instead of superficial benchmarks.

It's time to dive in, dig deep, and learn how you can use what you've done and where you've been to up your odds and cultivate success.
