The Igniting Souls Conference is going on right now, and I'm in my hotel room. I'm prepping for this afternoon.

S1 Ep699: When you feel starved, cook for someone else (social media success recipe)
I see a trend on social media where you can tell someone is emotionally hungry. When you feel hungry in life, rather than expressing those needs, cook for someone else. Don't ask others to feed you. Dig deep and give what you have and you will be filled. Find out more at https://www.ignitingsoulsconference.com.

I'm going through the final preparations for Igniting Souls Conference. I don't like meetings. But if we know what we want the outcome to be, it's different. Don't have a meeting if there's not a clear win. When you meet, walk or stand. It tends to shorten the meeting. Join us for the 2020 Igniting Souls Conference.

S1 Ep697: You have not because you ask not in the right way
They did a study recently of people who wanted to cut in line. A lot of people let them cut in life if they asked. But when people gave a reason, the stats went up considerably. Many times we ask something of someone else, but we don't tell them why. It's human nature to want to tie our actions to purpose. If you're not getting yeses in life, position your request with a reason.
