Duey Saxton - The Beast

The business of business is relationships; the business of life is human connection. With your customers, with your suppliers, with your loved ones, with your self (big idea there).

Commit to insanely great relationships (Steve Jobs coined the “insanely great” standard BTW - I adore it) and you”ll have an insanely great life. And being a great human connector is pretty easy stuff. Remember, success is all about a precise consistency around fundamentals.

Take Care of Your Relationships and the Money Will Take Care of Itself

You’ll never know if you don’t even try. There is giant power in asking for what you want. All too often, our internal chatter prevents us from taking the steps needed to get us to our own unique form of greatness. We get kept small from our inner imaginings-so many of which are lies.

The best of the best, those who live glorious lives – that matter – ask like crazy. They understand that it’s a habit that must be polished for it to shine. And the more you do it, the easier it gets (like any skill). And so they ask.  For the support and help they need at work. For the understanding they may seek at home. For a break they need for their business. For a better table at their favorite restaurant. For a better seat at a sold-out concert. And because they ask more, the get more (success always has been a numbers game).

Nothing happens until you ask. People are not mind readers. They need to know what’s meaningful to you, and if you ask nicely, they just might say yes.

Nothing Happens Until You Ask

The business of business is relationships; the business of life is human connection.

Success without human connection is not really success. People who are fully functioning understand that we are all connected. Great science now confirming this. But the larger point is we are all members of a greater tribe.

And to treat everyone you meet with decency, dignity, kindness and love is only to deepen your relationship with the world.

Embrace Full-On Human Connection [for Domain Dominance]

Working on a better Mindset over 2021 while neglecting your Heartset sets up a situation of self-sabotage where your intellect knows what you should do yet your emotional world keeps you limited.

To help you embrace the idea even more fully, I recorded this quick podcast episode before a nature walk.

Mindset Isn't Everything

It takes a brave person to be open. To speak your truth even when your voice shakes and to feel safe to show up as who you truly are is how warriors roll.  Anyone can put on a mask. It’s easy to wear a suit of armour as you navigate this dangerous world. Yet to be raw and real and decent and good. Oh—that takes strength. And true leadership.⁣

About the Book

New York Times bestselling author, Personal Transformation guru, and life coach for the Steve Harvey Show and Today, Lisa Nichols shares her journey from scarcity to abundance, outlining steps everyone can take to create abundance in career, relationships, self, and finances—while creating a legacy for others to follow. With a foreword by Steve Harvey.

Twenty years ago, Lisa Nichols was a single mother dependent on public assistance and jumping from one dead-end job to the next. Determined to break out of the defeatist mindset, negative behavior, and bad habits that were holding her back from success, she resolved to change her life. Today, she leads the life of her dreams.

In Abundance Now, this icon in the field of personal transformation shares her secrets for creating a life that is rich in every way possible. Focusing on the four areas of life that must be refined to bring true abundance, or the 4 E’s—Enrichment, Enchantment, Engagement, Endowment—Nichols identifies the framework upon which a fulfilled existence is built. Abundance Now offers provocative lessons, actionable plans and real-life case studies, and makes clear what we must do every day to attract abundance, how to act as if we are already leading abundant lives, and how to open the door to a life of richness in our work, our relationships, our finances, and in our view of ourselves.

ABUNDANCE NOW by Lisa Nichols, Excerpt 1

The Birth of the Passion Hypothesis. It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact moment when our society began emphasizing the importance of following your passion, but a good approximation is the 1970 publication of What Color Is Your Parachute? The author, Richard Bolles, was working at the time for the Episcopal Church advising campus ministers, many of whom were in danger of losing their jobs. He published the first edition of Parachute as a straightforward collection of tips for those facing career change. The original print run was one hundred copies...
