“To every man there comes in his lifetime that special moment when he is figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered a chance to do a very special thing, unique to him and fitted to his talents.

In some ways new years is a great time to set goals and look forward to a new chapter in life BUT  I think we all have experienced the frustration of setting new goals and then falling short of what we want.   Sometimes I've been so frustrated with the new years thing that I have completely avoided the process of setting new years resolutions.   Today I want to share The One Thing I have found to be more effective than New Year's resolutions or annual goals but still motivating and helpful in making lasting change in your life.  "The ONE Thing" by Gary Keller- https://amzn.to/3pC0DAc Jesse Itzler Speech Video- https://youtu.be/sWZbfxpW1Ak Subscribe To YouTube Here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE73IWL6mE3t0Km04RBauDg?sub_confirmation=1 Instagram: @primedfatherhood Primed Fatherhood Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1031297780722259/ Primed Fatherhood Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/PRIMEDFATHERHOOD Primed Fatherhood Website: https://primedfatherhood.com/ My Leather Goods: https://www.ruggedmaterial.com/

“Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication.” Emma Thompson I would say most of our problems in life can be solved or aided by better communication. If not by communication by itself then by knowing how to communicate with the right people at the right time. “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” George Bernard Shaw If you know you suck at communicating you're on the right track and this short Primer Episode will help you a lot.  If you think you're a good or great communicator you better check yourself against the 7 38 55 rule to be sure. I tend to think I’m a good communicator but this rule has opened my eyes and I now try to measure myself against it to keep moving in the right direction. Stay tuned to learn this rule and put yourself on the path to being a better family leader and professional by learning this simple but often forgotten part of great communication.

When I started Rugged Material I was still in college. I got a tip to go to the group called the “Thinkubator” group on a thursday night. It was my first stab at trying to network my own business. I got to the meeting a little late and saw this big group of middle aged guys sitting around a fancy conference table all very engaged in little side conversations with people around them. When I walked into the room with my wife and friend not many people noticed and no one said anything. Then when we found a seat a young looking guy came over to me and shook my hand. He said my name is Andy what’s your’s? What do you do? How can we help? And before I knew it he was introducing me to 3 other guys who had experience manufacturing and selling their own physical products.  I didn’t know it at the time but when I shook Andy’s hand I became part of a powerful network of thousands of great people. Andy Springer is a dad of 3 young men, husband to a great woman, a successful salesman/ insurance guy, a real estate investor and serial entrepreneur. Andy is a networking Pro with so much experience making connections with people I’m sure you’ll benefit from learning his formula and following his example.  I am really excited to share part one of my interview with him today as he shares his approach to building a powerful network that benefits not only your career but your family too.

Everyone has at least one big roadblock that is keeping them from living the way they want to live. It could be you are needing to make more money or you need to get healthier or it could be that you have relationships that are struggling. For most of us it’s usually a combination of some of these.   Thanks for joining me in this Primer Episode. Primed Fatherhood is meant to help dads make weekly progress on things that often slip our minds when we get sucked into the daily grind of work, family, work family.   My primer episodes are shorter than my interviews and are meant to be quick and simple reminders of different things that will help us to be better dads if considered and acted upon.  __ Here are the books I mentioned (Amazon Affiliate Links) “The Willpower Instinct” by Kelly McGonigal- https://amzn.to/2WlPSFB “The 5AM Club” by Robin Sharma- https://amzn.to/3msmyb0 “The Miracle Morning” by Hal Elrod- https://amzn.to/3gThdYU -- Subscribe To YouTube Here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE73IWL6mE3t0Km04RBauDg?sub_confirmation=1 Instagram: @primedfatherhood Primed Fatherhood Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1031297780722259/ Primed Fatherhood Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/PRIMEDFATHERHOOD Primed Fatherhood Website: https://primedfatherhood.com/ My Leather Goods: https://www.ruggedmaterial.com/
