Military life is an experience that forever shapes who you are, because it’s unlike any other job you’ll ever do. You’ve attended job training that most people could never understand, let alone accomplish. You’ve lived on installations and ships, and in tents and submarines. And you’ve even deployed to locations that most people have only seen on that dusty globe in high school geography class. It’s through these experiences that you’ve become immersed in tight-knit communities and personal relationships that are often unattainable in “civilian” settings.  That’s why it can be difficult to separate yourself from the culture. You are not just leaving a job; you are leaving a completely different lifestyle. Gone is your communication through military jargon. Gone is your rank structure and responsibility. Gone is your scrutinized work and life schedule. So how can we, as veterans, help ensure a smooth transition from the military to civilian employment? We take what we learned day one in the service — how to adapt and overcome — and apply it to our new surroundings. For more on how to achieve or live a purposeful life as a veteran transition… schedule a discovery call with me. To your extraordinary Success!!!

This world isn't always easy on us. Too frequently we're unwillingly a victim of some smooth talking slickest, or some crazy circumstances that we just don't have any control over. "Life isn't fair" we tend to tell ourselves when faced with these injustices. "True. Very true," I say. You're right. Life isn't fair, and life has never been fair. Just think about it... What happens when a fly flies innocently by a frog? Yup! It gets eaten. Life certainly wasn't fair for that poor fly, was it? What did that innocent fly do to that frog? Nothing! It was unfair to that fly, right? I bet right now, we're all glad that we're not flies. Well, we certainly aren't flies. And we usually don't have to worry much about being eaten alive by another creature. It's true that life for us humans is unfair sometimes, but it's rarely ever that unfair. We're almost never victimized to the degree that that poor fly was because we're humans and we have a lot of advantages over the rest of the animal kingdom.  It's not often that our circumstances force us to face life and death situations like the rest of the animal kingdom does on a daily basis. And when our circumstances do tend to be on the bad side, we almost always have choices that we can make to better our situation. The fly flying by the frog doesn't have the ability like us humans to make life-improving decisions once that frog snaps its tongue out of its mouth. Can you imagine what us humans would do if a little frog snapped its tongue out of its mouth towards us? We'd probably say, "Ah... look how cute he is!" We'd probably even mimic the cute little frog by saying, "Ribbit. Ribbit".
Now teens, go learn, lead, and lay the way to a better world for all of us. Remember that we truly are the lucky ones because we don't have to be victimized by our circumstances. And once again, thanks for all that you do, and all that you will do... If circumstances are getting the best of you and if you are determined to not let it that happen, I hope you will schedule a discovery call with me. To your extraordinary Success!!! Are you crazy?

Let me bite your neck! A phrase heard in the older vampire movies. You seldom hear it now as politeness has gone the way of people just taking what they want when they want. Many people have their dreams sucked out of them by the vampires they meet in their life. The vampire only wants you to survive long enough until they can suck you dry; never letting you fully be alive. How many vampires have stopped you from doing what you need to do to live a life of purpose on purpose?  How many times have they just “bitten” your neck, or dreams by telling you all the reasons you can’t, shouldn’t, won’t be able to, it’s not the right time, etc., when it comes to you finally live your life to the fullest. Let me shed some light on the subject. Vampires don’t like the sunlight, and I SPECIALIZE in shedding light on vampiric situations. Let me feed your passions, your desires by helping you break free from the vampire cult and start living life fully in the light of your desired reality. I am not Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but I am a reality maker, and when it comes to the ties you may have to fear, doubt and discouragement; a tie breaker! Let me help you into the light today!
You no longer have to be afraid of the Vampires in your life. Connect with me. What’s stopping you? What is keeping you from living your dreams? What is preventing you from pursuing your passions? What obstacles are in the way of you being the person you want to be and doing what you want to do? The first step in problem solving is identifying the problem. When a person is not where the want to be in their life, or living their desired life, the root cause often comes back to the mindset. At some point in a person’s life, they must make a decision to either believe everything they desire is achievable, or settle for what is immediately obtainable.  Those former passions become daydreams of a fanciful life that will never occur. There used to be a phrase used quite often in the business world, SOLVE FOR YES. Let’s not look at what stops you, but focus on what can motivate you, by solving every problem, issue or concern that has hindered you from living your life of purpose, on purpose by solving for YES! Yes it will be difficult, but it can be done! Yes it is scary, but you don’t have to make the journey alone! Yes, the trip is worth it, and YES I WILL BE WITH YOUR EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. The answer to what is stopping you is simple, you have yet to call me, or contact me. Solve for yes, contact me to do and go from what is stopping you to what has started you to living your dreams!
As Nike says just do it. What are you waiting for start living now? Schedule your free discovery call now. When was the last time you did something just for YOU? When was the last time you took action to help you live the life you desired, with no regrets? When was the last time you just went for it, whatever you desired without a thought to the negative consequences you may face. Many of us we want to do things, but because of the possible consequences we hesitate. When it comes to the subject of chasing our passions, we hesitate, procrastinate, and will often say it has to wait because of our responsibilities.  Are you in a fixed position in your career? Do you have the passion of an entrepreneur? Are you thinking about the time when you can make a change, but not sure how to make your passions a reality?
We have tried different “schemes” someone else used, but it just didn’t’ work for us. When we try to use solutions tailored to the situation of someone else as the answer to ours, just like medicine, the symptoms may be similar, but everyone’s situation is unique to them, the cure seldom works. Reach out to me and let me help you do something for yourself with no guilt, no regrets, and no concerns about being able to still fulfill your responsibilities. Let me develop a plan just for YOU, based on YOU and YOUR desires to live life to the fullest! No worries, no regrets, just SUCCESS! Schedule your free Discovery Call today!! The 1970s was known as the area of disco. I don’t know much about the disco phenomenon other than it sparked numerous memorial songs, some interesting fashion choices and the undulating beat of chasing your passion with every fiber of your being. There was a song called Disco Inferno, and the tag line was “Burn, baby Burn”. I’m not sure what they were talking about, but when it comes to the flame inside of you, the flame of passion you have for your dream, I say “BURN, BABY, BURN”!  Let nothing extinguish your flame of passion. It may take time. It may take sacrifice. It may take you leaving your comfort zone, but if you want it, go get it and let that passion BURN, BABY, BURN! There will be people that will tell you it can’t be done, shouldn’t be done, or it is not expedient or beneficial for you to even do. Instead of accepting their word as the final authority, make the decision yourself! Imagine if the person that invented the air conditioner gave up. How hot would it be during those steamy summer days? What about the person that invented ice cream? Everyone thought Ford was crazy with the idea of the horseless carriage. All of these things we now enjoy and think nothing about it, but each person had a passion to do something and they got it done. I have discovered people fall into two simple categories in my life; help and hindrance. I have discovered that someone against me can actually spur me on to prove them wrong, and someone that claims to help me can actually slow me down with their desire for me to do things the way they would. Let others live their dream and pursue their passions.
When you know what you want, go for it. Do the research, do comparative analysis on the best way to fulfill your passion, but let that passion flame “BURN BABY BURN”. Afraid your flame is flickering because it has burned so long with no additional fuel. Afraid your dream life is unobtainable, unreachable, or just not realistic? Talk to someone who has routinely defeated the impossible, made it possible. Someone who was told their goal is unobtainable and are currently living their dream. Let them help you, and that person is me! Let me help you light, ignite, fuel, sustain or increase your flame of passion so it can BURN, BABY, BURN! Schedule your free discovery call today and start living your life of purpose on purpose.
As long as you have breathe in your body, and the ability to “do”, chase your passion, chase your dream. The complexity of your life may make it a little more difficult. The responsibilities you have may make the pursuit of your passion a little more challenging, but it has been often said, anything worth having is worth working for. Want to be a painter? Take art classes and do it! Want to be a skydiver? Go to the training and do it! Want to just live life to the fullest and enjoy all it has to offer? What are you waiting for? Just do it! When we identify our passions and what we really want to do, we often feel it is impossible to do. There was a movie about a man who claimed to spend 90 minutes in heaven. He was in a major car accident and most had counted him dead. He lived, but they thought he would never walk again. His passion, his drive, his motivation, his desire to walk again had him walking out of the hospital in the time frame he spoke into existence. He had faith, and in his case, his faith sustained and kept him. Call it the universe returning, faith, fate, kismet, or whatever, speak your passions into existence by not just saying you want to do it, but you are doing it! Chase your dream! Chase your passion. We have but one life to live and why not live it with a purpose, on purpose as a life of purpose? I can help your dreams become a reality. You’ve tried the rest, why not try the best; Coach Lori Wagner. Let me help you start, and embrace your journey of your passion! Schedule your free discovery call today and start living your life of purpose on purpose.
