How can you become a top performer??? The type who shines at the top of the leaderboards, is creating massive results and impact in the world, and who other people want to follow because they know you're on an entirely different level!!! THAT, is the purpose of todays podcast episode... We are going to share how to become the top performer you're more than capable of becoming!!! And we are going deeper than surface level... We need to go into our subconscious minds. Say what?!?! Yes, become...

What do you think are the characteristics of a great leader? I'd seriously love to hear what your thoughts! Recently, I decided to force myself to come up with the top 3 things that stood out to me the most based on the best leaders who have led me like John Maxwell, Simon Sinek, and Josh Coats. Which is what I shared in today's episode! -------------------- Want to learn about our INNER CIRCLE and get access to our personal network?

As a leader, sometimes we have to do the hard things... Which includes telling others what they need to hear... And that also applies to ourselves sometimes. But what I've found, is there are 3 times when being hard on myself actually hurts both me and those I'm leading and throws us all off track. And when I hear people say to "just push through" there is some truth to that, but there are a few times that doing so will actually do more harm than good. What are those times? That's what we w...

As leaders, we have to think differently. I like to think of this as the difference between a CEO and a w2 employee. Being a police officer for 20 years had me thinking a certain way... Mostly trading time for money among other things. But when I became a CEO, I had to change that, or it wasn't going to work. Imagine what that would look like, bringing THAT kind of energy to my business or to my family? But what do I mean when I say "We are modern leaders, we see things differently?" That i...

How do you double your productivity in your business, when you're still working full time, have kids, while also keeping your sanity? Early on in our business, we were a one-stop shop. We were doing it all... From social media, editing videos/podcasts, marketing, sales, emails, and about 50 other things. But we were also doing everything in our careers AND at home with our kids. We were proud of our "hard worker badges", until we hit our lid. We realized at some point if we wanted to take o...

Leadership is challenging. From making decisions, problem-solving, managing people.... And having it all come down to you. This challenge often demands more of our time and energy.. and can bring on a ton of added stress. At this point you might find it easy to convince yourself to work harder and longer, because "that's just what you have to do during this season." But what happens if that season starts to last all year? We become "imbalanced" which will lead to more stress, frustration, s...

As a leader, especially if you're an entrepreneur, we are always being pulled in a million directions. Our most valuable resource is our time, we never get any more of it (and never seem to have enough). Here on Modern Leadership we pride ourselves in being able to make a huge impact in the world, while also connecting with our family and taking care of our health, all without burning ourselves out... But how do we do that? For us, it was starting to see "time" differently. When started to ...

Was it worth the time and energy it took me to get monetized on YouTube? How did I do it, and how much did I make? All great questions, but there's something I absolutely need to make you aware of that caused me to get demonetized for 32 days! Yes, after I followed the strategies you'll learn today (if you check out today's release I got monetized)... and then it was all taken away!! (Well, for 32 days) I will also share the tactics I used to hit 4k watch hours and 1000 subs, including how I ...

Having a business is awesome... We are in control of the direction we go, how we run the show, and the impact that we make in other people's lives. But that also means, that WE are in control, especially if we steer it in the wrong direction. ESPECIALLY if you let your brain be in control. That's what my brain loves to do, control the show, and convince me not to do anything net or outside my comfort zone because it doesn't know what's going to happen if I do. Starting a new business? Creat...

We have all heard we are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with, right? Well, what happens if you think one of your 5 is actually helping you, when in fact they are actually holding you back??? That's what we ended up finding out, which is why today we want to break down the 5 people who were secretly holding us back in our business. Because simply hanging out with "high performers" "supporters" or people who have hit goals that you want to hit is NOT always the best thing to...

You might be looking to leave for another job/career... Or maybe you want to jump ship all together and start a business so you never have to work for someone else ever again... But you're not sure if this is the right move! You don't know if it's the right time... Or if you should leave when you've got the security of your J O B right now??? We want to help you uncover the signs if it's time... By sharing the signs we saw... And we'd also like to talk about what to do next if you decide IT...

How do people create so much momentum that nothing can stop them? And then once they have it, how do they protect it so it keeps building? We found out we had to understand how momentum ACTUALLY worked (it's not how we originally thought it did), and then how to tap into it based on our own strengths instead of following what others did to create it. That's why we made today's episode, to share how it really works, how we were able to build momentum in our business and personal health journey ...

Did you know that you can use what you think is your kryptonite, to actually be your superpower? To some degree, we all have weaknesses, but there's a way that we've found to turn those around, and it doesn't take as much work as you think. When we were able to do that in our business we started to make more impact, make more income, and enjoyed working our business much more. So we started to teach this to others that we coached, and we noticed they did the same thing. Which is why it's tim...

When things don't go as planned, it was very easy for me to see them as uncontrollable. What other people do, what other people say, and definitely when my brain starts to spin out of control and head down the "nuclear option", were just a few things that felt totally out of my control... But let me ask you... What if there was a way to actually CONTROL all of these situations, in a way that gave you the power back? Sounds to good to be true, right? Well, give me 6 minutes and I'll change y...

Join the Modern Leadership Inner Circle: https://www.youtube.com/@modernleadership/join How can I speed up the growth of my business so I can leave my 9-5 like yesterday?? That was a question I asked myself over and over. I wanted to get OUT of the matrix of working massive amounts of overtime, being around the negativity, coming home and sleeping, and then rinsing and repeating. I know that success takes time, but I would really love it if we could get there as soon as possible because my p...

Expectations can be an amazing thing. They can also be used against us though, especially when we don't know they exist. Which is why we wanted to make today's video for you. Before we understood what we will talk about today, we constantly used expectations against us. We actually didn't even know we were doing it. But that's why we want to get ahead of this for you and share how we used expectations in a positive way that allowed us both to leave our full time jobs after nearly 5 X'ing our...

If you're a coach, you've probably come across people who you KNOW would really be helped by having a coach. You might want to coach them, or just have them be open to coaching in general. But you're not sure how to communicate that in a way that doesn't feel like you're attacking them or them taking it as there is something wrong with them. Well today, I want to share the 3 steps I take when I approach this delicate subject, in a way that's more of a subtle art of recommending coaching, that...

We would start to see some initial success, and then bam, before we know it, we'd be back taking old actions, having the same old thoughts, and losing all the momentum we were creating. Looking back, we would stop doing the things that were actually starting to create success for ourselves. Thankfully learned some painful lessons, and we'd like to share them with you. Which is why today, we want to share 3 signs that we should have known showed we were afraid of success, and what we did when ...

If you have ever been frustrated because your business has plateaued, or you want to avoid that in the future, I want to break down a framework I use to make sure that never happens. This is something that was taught to me by my mentor and I use it anytime I feel "stuck" to make sure I'm not missing something that will prevent me from moving forward in my business. After I break it down, I will share one piece of vital information on how people get this wrong without even knowing it, so be sur...

Should you work your business while on vacation??? If you have the type of business you can "take anywhere" like we do, should you actually take it with you when you're on vacation? One of the great things about our online business is the freedom it gives us to work from anywhere on the planet... But does that mean we should plug in while we're on vacation? Our answer might surprise you, but I also want to give you a framework to use to figure out the right answer for you too. Because there...

Is it time to leave your job? It might be, but before you do (or even think about it), check out this post. I've gotten a lot of questions from people wanting to know how I was able to leave my police career early to lean into entrepreneurship. That makes us an entrepreneur family, since Teresa left her corporate career over 6 years ago too. I'm not saying this is for everyone, but you do need to know 3 specific things FIRST before you decide if this is the right move for you. That is the pu...

I want to share 3 of the best investments I've ever made into my small business that have kept it growing for over 12 years, which led me to an early retirement in my police career. There is going to be one huge theme here too... I see most people trying to invest in OTHER PEOPLES businesses... The stock market... and many other things outside of their own business... You may not agree with me and that's ok, but I don't think that's your best option. I mean, I would personally trust myself, ...

If you have a coaching business... Or really any business at all, limiting beliefs in others are things you have to deal with. They can be frustrating when they come up if you don't handle them correctly, especially when you KNOW that if they just got past them they would experience the results they truly deserve. All you want to do is help them unlock their potential, but you don't know what to do or say to make that happen. Which is why today I want to share 3 tips (and a bonus that connect...
