Who am I? Who are YOU?
One of the first things people do when embarking on a journey of personal growth is deep introspection, discovering who God made them to be.
Often that begins with a personality assessment.
I'm partial to the DISC model of human behavior, and this video will give you an overview of what you'll find if you take the DISC assessment.

Challenging Social Mantras - with Myles Wakeham
Life should be a wonderous thing. Human beings have a wonderful talent to overcome challenges, climb mountains, achieve greatness and evolve ourselves forward. We are, after all, the only species on this planet that is gifted with the ability to make tools that allow us to evolve. It started with fire, the wheel, the written word. We mastered physics and electricity. We built massive information exchanges and artificial intelligence. We mastered transport and space travel and we created the ultimate Utopia for humanity in the universe.
But somewhere along the way, we lost the map. And we wandered off into a dark and barren place. A place we really only have ourselves to blame for meandering into.
Evil things happen slowly over time. One day the world is a positive and caring place. A place you want to be and your motivation to be the best YOU is with you.
Then life happens. Bit by bit you lose your way. Distractions, obligations, expectations, etc. They all prey on our sanity to the point where you become a victim to them. This is not a life. This is not what you signed up for.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. People were supposed to be happy and secure in their lives. They were expected to live to a ripe old age, have something to show for their lives, to give to their kids, to leave the world a better place. But rather than this being a wonderful world, it often looks more like a scene from The Walking Dead. Utopia becomes Dystopia.

I rave no more 'gainst time nor fate | Finding the NEXTLevel
In today's episode, we dive into a thought-provoking poem by John Burroughs called "Waiting." This poem resonates with me because it reminds us of the importance of being serene and patient in our lives. Burroughs beautifully captures the essence of not worrying about external circumstances and instead trusting that what is meant for us will come to us in its own time and in the right way.
As I read through the lines of the poem, I can't help but feel a sense of calmness washing over me. It serves as a gentle reminder to not get caught up in the anxieties of life, but rather to have faith in the process and trust that everything will unfold as it should.
What's interesting is that these same lines from Burroughs' poem can also be found in a book that I highly recommend called "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson. This book delves into the concept that our outcomes, whether good or bad, are determined by the small, daily actions we take. It's not about the external factors like the wind, tide, or sea, but rather the seemingly insignificant tasks that we have control over.
The message behind "The Slight Edge" aligns perfectly with the sentiment of Burroughs' poem. It emphasizes the importance of consistently doing these small, simple tasks, as they compound over time and make all the difference in achieving success, whether it's in our personal lives or professional endeavors.
So I encourage each and every one of you listening to focus on doing good work, little by little, day after day. Remember, it's the consistent actions that will lead us to success, not the grand gestures or external circumstances. By staying committed to our goals and consistently showing up, we have the power to create the life we desire.
Thank you for tuning in, and I hope that this episode has inspired you to embrace the wisdom of "Waiting" and implement the principles of "The Slight Edge" in your own life. Keep pushing forward and remember that great things happen when we focus on doing good work.

DISC personality profile. (https://www.personalityservice.com/portal/MMZX)
In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of the DISC model and its four basic personality types. Understanding these types can greatly enhance our ability to navigate conflicts and find resolutions that work for everyone involved.
The first personality type we discuss is the Dominant type. Dominant personalities have a strong desire for power and control in conflicts. They are driven to assert their opinions and make decisions quickly, often without much consideration for others. While their directness can be intimidating, it is important to recognize their need for efficiency and effectiveness.
Next, we delve into the Influencing type. These individuals seek integration and collaboration in conflicts. They are skilled at building relationships and are often persuasive in swaying others to their point of view. Their outgoing and enthusiastic nature brings energy to conflicts, making them more dynamic and inclusive.
Moving on, we explore the Supportive personality type. These individuals tend to deny conflict altogether, avoiding it at all costs. They prioritize harmony and maintaining positive relationships, sometimes at the expense of addressing important issues. Understanding their avoidance tendencies can help create a safe and open environment for conflict resolution.
Finally, we examine the Cautious personality type. Cautious individuals suppress their emotions and thoughts in conflicts. They value precision and accuracy, often taking longer to process information and make decisions. Recognizing their need for information and time can contribute to a more well-rounded discussion and ultimately lead to more thoughtful resolutions.
By gaining insight into these personality types and their approaches to conflict, we can cultivate better relationships and find amiable solutions. Whether you are interested in applying this knowledge to personal or professional situations, we encourage you to reach out if you have any questions or are interested in exploring more about the Disc model or starting a small business.

The thing holding you back from your potential | Finding the NEXTLevel
In today's episode, we're diving deep into a topic that's close to my heart: the challenge of busyness. It's something that many of us struggle with, myself included. As I reflect on this issue, I can't help but think of a talented friend of mine who has big dreams of starting a small craft business. However, he constantly finds himself lacking the motivation and time to pursue his goals.
I've been there for him, offering support and encouragement, but I've also encouraged him to seek additional help. I truly believe that having a group or a friend who can hold you accountable and keep you motivated is essential. It's painful to see his potential going untapped, but I respect his journey and understand that he may not be ready to join my mastermind just yet.
But here's the thing: my friend is not alone. I've noticed this pattern among many individuals who settle for a sense of safety and comfort, rather than pushing themselves to reach for what they truly want. It's all too easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and let it hold us back from pursuing our deepest desires.
That's why I want to take a moment to urge anyone listening to this episode to find someone who can be that support system. Whether it's a friend, a mentor, or a trusted colleague, having someone who can push you, ask you the tough questions, and hold you accountable is invaluable.
In a world filled with distractions and a constant sense of busyness, it's important to prioritize and focus on what truly matters. Don't let the noise drown out your dreams. Instead, give yourself permission to do good work and invest your time and energy in the things that align with your passions and goals.
Remember, we all have the power to create the life and business we desire. It starts with recognizing the value of support and accountability, and making a conscious effort to surround ourselves with people who will lift us up and help us take those important steps towards our goals.
So, if you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed by busyness, I encourage you to reach out, connect, and find that person who will push you to new heights. Together, we can overcome the obstacles that hold us back and achieve what we truly desire.

What's Your ONE THING? | Finding the NEXTLevel

In this episode, we dive into the topic of purpose and its importance in our lives. Having a purpose serves as a guiding light, motivating us to keep pushing forward and take action. Without a clear sense of purpose, it can be challenging to find the drive and determination to work towards our goals.
Even though I have a purpose, which is to finish and live in my dream house, there are moments when I find myself lacking motivation. However, I understand that without a compelling reason or a strong "why," it's highly unlikely that I will follow through with my plans.
One technique that has been incredibly helpful to me comes from the book "The One Thing." This approach encourages us to identify the one thing we can do at each level of our goals – be it yearly, monthly, weekly, or even daily – that will move us closer to our purpose. By continuously asking ourselves what actionable steps we can take right here, right now, we can make progress towards achieving the impact we desire.
Whether our purpose revolves around earning a paycheck to provide for ourselves and our loved ones or making a lasting impact on millions of lives, it's crucial that we find that unique thing, that driving force within us, and fully commit to it.
I want to invite all of you to join our Telegram group and share your "one thing" for today with us. Let's come together and support each other in doing good work and making a positive difference in the world. Remember, finding and pursuing your purpose is a lifelong journey, and together, we can live fulfilling lives and create a meaningful impact.

Managing Your Resource Cycles | Finding the NEXTLevel

Telegram group to chat and connect (https://t.me/+roSfeEqz82JlYWFh)
In this episode, we discuss the learning process of using a newly installed solar system. Typically, we rely on the grid for power, but with solar, we must understand power cycles. Using power at night drains our batteries, causing system shutdowns before the sun generates power again. It's important to learn how this cycle operates. This concept applies to life and business as well. Like energy and capital, there are ebbs and flows. We must do resource-heavy tasks when energy or capital is abundant. When our energy bank is full, we can make expansions and accomplish more significant things. Understanding and managing these cycles can reduce stress. So, learn the cycles of your life and business. Operate during times of abundance and take breaks during low periods to recharge. Share your identified cycles and how you operate best in the Telegram chat. Do good work.

Unexpectedly Off-Grid | Finding the NEXTLevel
In this episode, we have something special in store. Today, I want to take a moment to share a personal experience that I recently had. It all started when we encountered some unexpected power issues at our homestead. It was a bit of a shock, but it pushed us to take action and get our solar system up and running as soon as possible.
Now, going off-grid was always part of our long-term plan, but we hadn't anticipated needing to do it so soon. That's where Shawn Mills from Hack My Homestead comes into the picture. I reached out to him for assistance, and I have to say, he was an absolute lifesaver.
Shawn didn't waste any time. He quickly ordered all the necessary components for our solar system and, here's the best part, he offered to install it for us completely free of charge. I can't express my gratitude enough for his generosity and expertise.
I know this isn't something Shawn does for everyone, but I wanted to give him a special shoutout because he truly is the go-to person for anyone who needs a solar consultation or some guidance with alternative energy solutions. His website, HackMyHomestead.com (https://feeds.captivate.fm/findingthenextlevel/HackMyHomestead.com), is a treasure trove of information, and you can also connect with him on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/hackmyhomestead/) to learn more about solar power and all things related to alternative energy.
Shawn Mills is truly an amazing guy, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with him during this challenging time. That's all for today, folks. Remember to keep doing good work and stay tuned for more exciting episodes ahead.

The 5th Key to Business Success | Finding the NEXTLevel
In today's episode, we dive into the importance of understanding our audience and identifying our niche within our industry. As business owners, it's crucial to know who we serve and what sets us apart from the competition.
Whether we're electricians specializing in commercial or residential work, or brick-and-mortar store owners with a specific theme or specialty, our target audience plays a significant role in shaping our marketing efforts. By tailoring our messaging to our niche, we can effectively reach the right customers who are most likely to engage with our products or services.
The 80-20 rule is another key factor to consider. Identifying the 20% of our efforts, products, or services that generate 80% of our results or revenue allows us to focus our marketing efforts towards those customers who are most likely to resonate with our specialty. This doesn't mean that we won't attract other customers, but having a clear focus ensures that our brand messaging isn't diluted and that we aren't seen as a generic all-rounder.
In a personal example from my construction business, I used to claim that I could do everything. However, I soon realized that specializing and focusing on my strengths was far more effective. Now, when people ask what I do, I confidently state that I specialize in building decks and doing remodels. While I do offer additional services such as vinyl and hardy siding, tile installation, ceiling fan installation, and property management for Airbnbs, my core expertise lies in building decks and performing remodels.
By honing in on our core competencies and marketing our strengths effectively, we can attract the right customers and achieve better results and satisfaction for both ourselves and our clientele. So, let's dive deeper into the importance of understanding our audience and finding our niche within our respective industries.

Understanding Each Personality's Approach to Action | Finding the NEXTLevel
In this episode, we explore the different approaches individuals with varying personality types take when it comes to going to the firing range. I delve into the four main personality types and their corresponding methods.
The high D, also known as the driver, adopts a ready, fire, aim approach. They jump into action without fully assessing the target, making adjustments along the way as necessary. Their focus is on taking immediate action rather than meticulously planning beforehand.
On the other hand, the high I, or inspiring personality, follows a ready, aim, talk approach. They believe that talking about their intentions is just as valuable as actually doing the task. They want to have something to say and enjoy being in the spotlight, often preferring to discuss their plans before taking action.
For the high S, or supportive type, decision-making can be a struggle. They fear leaving someone behind and spend considerable time analyzing all the factors before making a move. Their approach can be described as ready, aim, analyze, aim, analyze, aim, making sure they consider every possible outcome before taking any action.
Lastly, the high C, or cautious personality, takes a ready, aim, aim, aim approach. They are meticulous in their planning and decision-making process, obsessively checking and double-checking everything before taking action. Their attention to detail ensures that they have thoroughly thought through their strategy before proceeding.
Understanding these different approaches can be incredibly valuable not only in the context of going to a firing range but also in various life situations. Recognizing the personality types of the people in your life and adapting your planning and decision-making process accordingly can lead to improved communication and collaboration.
To gain further insight into your own strengths and areas for improvement, consider taking a personality assessment. By understanding your own personality type, you can better navigate various situations and harness your strengths effectively.

You can be lazy, but at least be productive lazy. | Finding the NEXTLevel
In this episode, we delve into the topic of laziness and productivity. As the main speaker, I openly admit to being pretty lazy – preferring activities like watching football with my buddies or going fishing over work. I want the results that come from work, but I'm not keen on actually doing the work itself. Laziness is a common trait among many individuals, but the real problem arises when people act on their laziness.
Despite my laziness, I consider myself to be productive, and those who know me might not even think of me as lazy. Laziness is a complex issue with various underlying reasons. In life, we are faced with tasks that we must do to survive – such as taking care of our animals, grocery shopping, cooking meals, and managing our finances. While these tasks are necessary, they often feel like work.
Conversely, there are activities that we genuinely want to do, and they don't feel like work at all. We often label this time as "lazy time." I believe that if we focus more on doing things we truly love, whether through our jobs or personal interests, we can reduce the feeling of laziness. Even if the work we love still feels like work, it becomes enjoyable due to the progress and outcomes we witness.
Ultimately, I am striving to create a life where I can spend more time doing what I love and less time on activities I don't enjoy as much. I encourage others to find the same balance and discuss their experiences in our Telegram group. By prioritizing the work we are passionate about, we can achieve a sense of fulfillment and overcome laziness. So, let's aim to do good work together.

Finding Balance: Knowing When to Push Through and When to Take a Step Back | Finding the NEXTLevel
In this episode, we dive into the story shared by Ken Davis, a comedian and motivational speaker. He recounts his experience trying surfing and the valuable life lesson he learned in the process. As Ken floated near another experienced surfer, he expressed his curiosity about how to ride the waves. The surfer's response was simple yet profound: "You just gotta ride the wave." Little did Ken know, this encounter would serve as a metaphor for life itself.
Ken discovered that sometimes in life, we find ourselves riding the wave effortlessly, experiencing success and harmony. However, there are also moments when the wave seems to overpower us, knocking us down and leaving us feeling like we're on the verge of drowning. It is during these challenging times that we must learn when to push through and when to step back and recharge.
Taking a holistic approach to our lives, careers, and businesses is vital. We need to evaluate all aspects and eliminate anything that no longer serves us. Sometimes, certain things naturally come to an end, and we must have the strength to push through until that point. Ultimately, only we can make these decisions because it is our life and our responsibility.
So, if you find yourself feeling beaten down by the waves of life, take a moment to reflect on your journey thus far. Determine what you can eliminate or create space for in order to recharge and regain your strength. Remember, the key is to keep doing good work and never lose sight of the bigger picture.
