Success. Success? Success!

I’m still on a kick of de-bunking some of the common  ‘motivational phrases’ out there. Here are some examples of how this ‘motivational speaker’ disagrees with some well known platitudes:

It’s better to give than to receive. Well is sure can be nice to give, but giving comes at a cost, and it’s not just financial.  If giving or helping someone leaves you feeling depleted, emotionally spent, physically drained and/or in debt, perhaps it’s time to rethink how, when and why you are doing your giving.

Don’t quit – are you kidding me? Sometimes quitting is the best option. Sometimes you need to change course, put a different cog in the wheel, pause, rethink, change directions, get a divorce and/or start fresh. Quitting can not only be ok, it’s sometimes the best option.

So while I am all for motivation – sometimes you just have to think for yourself and tweak those sayings so that they resonate with your personally!

Kit Grant  and Joseph Ranseth, two bright men with cool takes on life  joined me today on the radio show to share their unique views on success in life, leadership and even on love.

Ever a softy, I really enjoyed Joseph philosophy on love  – his goal with his wife is to create a beautiful relationship that will grow in direct proportion to how they nurture their love. So rather than fall in love, they want to grow in love. Awe, so sweet. Can I steal that?
