Mindset. Lately people have been asking me what we do at Empowered Mastery. They asked if we were life coaches, and while we help with our clients lives, we do much more. I’ve been asked if I’m a business coach and while our clients businesses surely improve, it’s not all we do. Than I was asked if we’re motivational speakers, …

Uplift. I found very powerful meaning behind my new favorite word “uplift”, which truly captures what I’ve personally tried to do throughout my martial arts and personal coaching career. “Uplift” is needed more than ever because it seems we are living in a time where people go out of their way to tear others down. Perhaps the energy could shift …

Embrace what you have. I will admit, the situation in Ukraine has really saddened me. Honestly, much more than the pandemic has. Probably because with the pandemic, we were able to take steps to do something about it and had some control (although that is very controversial and not the intention of the post). But with Ukraine, innocent people are …

True Happiness I believed that I’ve shared this before, but one of the greatest feelings is to see your children succeed and be happy. This past weekend, Kathy and I spent the weekend to see our oldest son Brandon. He has just moved out to the San Diego area in the beginning of January. Brandon has had his ups and …

Do a little bit more Have you ever been with a family member or someone you love and were too lazy to do something for them? Or has a stranger needed something and you jumped up to help them? It’s interesting how and why that happens. I think it’s because we are too comfortable with the ones we love the …

Question to ask yourself. I have really developed a love/hate relationship with social media. I love the inspirational content, connecting with friends, seeing what’s happening in other peoples worlds. I don’t like the political division and the confrontational tendencies people have towards one another. The hardest part though, is to hear of loved ones passing on and seeing their pain …

The hardest training is not physical. It is interesting that when people think about hard training, they immediately think of something physically vigorous. I too fall into that trap. The reality is the hardest training we face is 100% mental, which ultimately is reflected in the physical. We could always overcome physical challenges, but it is the mental challenges that …

Have you heard of the “Five P’s”? With the start of the new year and a big focus on following through with my personal goals, I have been a bit hyper-focused on the “Five P’s”…PRIOR PLANNING PREVENTS POOR PERFORMANCE. For me, this means that I need to make sure I proactively allocate the time to work on my goals and …

How good are your goals? For the past few weeks, I’ve been sharing some tidbits on goal setting. We are now just about three weeks into the new year and I am sure the enthusiasm of the goals set on New Years Day may be wavering. Is that the case? Got to stay strong folks! One of my personal goals …

Clarity breaks down any obstacle in your way. Now that you have your 2022 goals set, how are you doing? Any bumps in the road yet? If you think your goals are going to come to you easily and effortlessly, I’m afraid you’re are mistaken. As great as that would be, it’s not the case. If it was, I would …
