I hope you had a great 2017 and are excited for the year to come. Rather than focusing on the year to come let's take a moment and look back on what you did this past year and build on it for the future. 

In this episode I talk with Blake Fly about this year's evolutions, building community and his personal board of advisors. 

In this episode I also announce that this is the last episode of the Focus on the Good podcast for the foreseeable future. The announcement is in the first 10 minutes of the podcast, listen for the details.

Thank you for listening and all of the support over the last 2 years of this show! 

I love you all. 

Remember, what's wrong is always available, but so is what's right!

Thank you!

044: Conquer Your Dragons With Adam Friday Woods

12/7/2017

Listen on iTunes!

Picture
Adam Friday Woods (Woody) is a professional speaker and author of the brand new children's book, Conquer Your Dragons.

Conquer Your Dragons is not only a fun, entertaining, rhyming, adventure story with incredible pictures and great vocabulary, but also a fantastic fable with many underlying principles to teach our children (and perhaps even adults) to recognize that the dragons they face do not have to control them. It gives them hope that they can conquer any obstacle that gets in their way. And it makes a great opportunity for parents to have an open discussion about the challenges their kids have.

In this interview we talk about the book, some of Woody's dragons and how you can conquer your Dragons!

Picture
The Future is in Great Hands!

Focus on The Good podcast Episode: 042

In this solo round I talk about the "youth of today" and "Millennials" 

There is a lot of negativity about these two groups but I speak to and meet thousands of members of these two generations and I can honestly say that the future is in great hands.

Focus on the good and you will find more of it, focus on the problems and you will find more of them.

It is up to you!
You choose!
I choose to focus on the good, and I hope you will too!

Solo Round: Unlimited Potential

You have unlimited potential!

8 Weeks ago we had our first child, Jacob Oliver Ballentine Jr. 

The other night I was holding Jacob and as he slept in my arms I started thinking about his potential in life. At this point in his life his potential is limitless. He can do ANYTHING. his whole life is ahead of him. At the same time I started thinking that everyone was once a little infant in someone's arms. Just like our little boy, you have unlimited potential too. 

Maybe you are not where you want to be or maybe you haven't accomplished the things you think you should have by now, but that doesn't mean that you can't do those things moving forward. 

Your past is not your potential!

Thanks for listening!
