Action Is Power

                                             Knowledge is not power, it is only potential.

                                                    Applying that knowledge is power.

                                                Understanding why and when to apply

                                                         that knowledge is wisdom.

We all want to have better lives. 

We go to seminars, read books, listen to podcasts and videos on YouTube, share quotes and words of inspiration on social media to get inspired and motivated. We learn new strategies from the people that have gone before us and that is now sharing with us know how they did it.

We all want to get inspired, motivated and empowered. 

I do too. 

But what do you do with all that inspiration, motivation and empowerment? What do you do with all that knowledge and wisdom that you have picked up for years?

Do you actually put into good use in your own life to make it better and also to help others and the world?

Do you use it as a pick-me-upper when you are feeling down?

Do you believe that positing, sharing and liking positive quotes on social media will make you more empowered, inspired and motivated? 

I am sure it does. But here is my question.....are you actually reading, learning and really understanding the message in the quote? Are you reflection on what it means and are you applying it in you own life?

Sharing quotes and positive sayings is a great way to uplift yourself and others but it won't change your life unless you put it into some kind of action for yourself.

It's like watching people exercise on TV and believe that you will get in shape simply by watching and maybe sharing the video with others.

You have to apply.

                                                           "You are what you do,

                                                         not what you say you'll do."

                                                              - Carl Gustav Jung 

How many self help books have you bought in your lifetime? Did you apply any of the strategies and ideas from the books? Did you even read the books or did you do what the majority of people do.....they didn't make it to the second chapter before they put the book away, only to become shelf help instead of self help.

How about all the courses that you bought and attended....did you apply the strategies on how to improve your life?

Maybe you tried for a few weeks but then you gave up because you didn't notice anything changing? Or you decided to NOT take action because you were afraid that you were going to look stupid or fail?

How about all the blogs, articles and podcasts that you have read and listened to?

What did you do with what you learned?

They say that knowledge is power. Yes, it's true.....but you have to apply what you learn.

Knowledge is potential power, but you have to take action.

ACTION is POWER.

Has The "HOW" Killed Your Dream?

                                 "The only impossible journey is the one you never begin."

                                                               - Tony Robbins 

I know that most of you have a dream or a vision that you like to accomplish. I know I do.

We get excited about something that we want to do. 

Maybe it's a business of your own? Maybe you want to move to another city or country? Maybe you want to find the perfect life partner? Maybe you want to create a healthier lifestyle where you have a lot more energy? Maybe you want to become a better parent? Or a better spouse or life partner?

Whatever it is.....we get excited, start thinking about it daily and then we finally decide that we are going to go for it.

But then we ask ourselves HOW? How am I going to be able to accomplish this big goal?

HOW do I do it.....what is my strategy to accomplish this goal or dream?

I don't have the money!

I don't have any idea where to start!

I don't know anyone that can help me!

I am too old/too young to do this!

I don't have any resources!

I don't have the right connections!

I don't have the right education to do this!

I am not enough!

HOW am I going to go from where I am today to where I want to be in the future?

When you start with HOW, or trying to find the strategy first..... you won't do it. You won't pursue your dream. HOW just killed your dream.

Instead start with WHY.  Reasons come first and answers come second.

Success Formula

Know Your Outcome

Get crystal clear on what you want. Only 3% of people have written down goals. What do you want? Where do you want to go? Focus..... look where you want to go. What you will look at, you will hit.

Be committed to accomplishing your dream

Know Your Reasons WHY 

Why do you want what you want? Reasons come first. Your reasons will keep you focused on what you want and they will also pull your forward.....towards your dream. The more reasons you can come up.....the better.

Focus on the outcome and not on HOW you are going to get there.

Take Action

Take massive consistent action. Act every single day. Take action every day even when you don't feel like it.

Reflecting

Notice what you are getting. If you are not checking in you might get of course.

Course Correct

If it's not working. Change your approach but not your goals or your dream. Keep on changing until it works.

Celebrate Your Wins.

Celebrate and praise yourself. Small wins are as important as the big ones.

Laser Beam Focus

Where focus goes, energy flows.

Focus on your dream, where you want to go, all the time and you will get the answers. The strategy might be in front of you.....right now.

Unfortunately the majority of people focus on what they don't want..... and that is usually what they will end up with.

Crisis Can Be An Opportunity

 

In life things are going to go wrong.

We will all have to deal with a constant wave of problems and occasional setbacks and crisis.

If you have lost your health, job, home, money, relationship or death of a loved one.....what can you do to pull yourself through?

What do you do when your life falls apart and everything has become total uncertainty?

What do you do to turn things around?

In 2012 my own life totally imploded and I was faced with a very tough situation. 

First my mom died in the end of 2011. Three months later I walked away from a highly toxic and abusive relationship and within a few days I left the US where I had lived for 25 years to return to Sweden where I was born. I had nothing left of my old life except for my 2 dogs and some clothes and some personal belongings

First I was depressed and overwhelmed and I didn´t know what to do.
I really didn´t think that there was anything that I could do to change my situation.
My life had become total uncertainty.

I asked myself...... 

What can I do to turn things around? 

What can I do to change my situation?

Can I change myself?

How am I going to pull myself through this?

Crisis can be opportunity. Crisis can call us to grow and think differently. Crisis can call us to create, start something new and become resourceful. Crisis can call us to think differently, solve problems we never solved before, take action instead of sitting and hoping. 

I know that many of you are facing a to tough situation right now.... very similar to the situation that I was facing in 2012. I know that it feels absolutely awful, hopeless and scary. I have been there and believe me for many months I didn't even know where to begin to put my life back together. I was completely stuck and scared. But I also knew at the same time that I could not remain where I was and I had to do something. 

What was the biggest elements that made a big difference in my life and helped me turn around a big crisis into a at comeback?

I did many things but on Wednesday I will share with you the 5 most important things that I did to be able to take myself to next level during a very difficult time in my life.

Never Give Up - Workshop Via Zoom

In life things are going to go wrong.

But what do you do when your life falls apart and everything has become total uncertainty?
What do you do to turn things around?

In 2012 my whole life imploded. There wasn't much left of my old life and I found myself stuck in uncertainty for several months. It wasn't a great feeling when the future that I had planned all of a sudden was completely gone and there wasn't anything I could do to get it back. I was stuck and I had no idea on how to move on with the rest of my life.

I know that many of you are finding yourself feeling stuck right and and wondering how you got there. I also know a lot of you are thinking that there must be more to life, but you don't really know how to access it.

Join me on Wednesday September 2nd, 2020 at 10 am CT for a 2 hour workshop via Zoom.

                                           Karin Glannstam - Life Coach & Author

                                                                                                         www.karinglannstam.com

Will You?

                                                    You can't just hope for happy endings.

                                 You have to believe in them, then do the work and take risks.

A lot of people want some kind of change to happen in their life. They wish for it and they really really really want it. 

They invest time and money into it, but they are ultimately not willing to get uncomfortable enough to make any kind of change happen in their life. In other words....they don't want it as badly as they think they do.

Did you know that only 5 % of all people who sign up for classes and seminars, online or live, actually do anything with it? A lot of people won't even complete the course, especially if it's online. This even includes very expensive courses and seminars.

                                  Pursuing your dreams elevates your soul to do great things

Have you spent countless years talking the talk? Knowing all the shoulds, coulds and woulds? Have you attended all the classes and seminars and read all the self help books....or should we say shelf help books? 

Have you ever done anything with all the information, wisdom and strategies that you learned in the books and during all the countless seminars and courses that you attended? If the answer is NO....why haven't you?

People who are successful at something are used to feeling and getting uncomfortable on a daily basis. Fear and feeling uncomfortable is very much like a muscle. The more you use it....the stronger it gets. But if you pull back, lean back into your comfort zone every time you starting to feel uncomfortable, not only will your muscles get flabby but you will stagnate and eventually settle for a life that is way below of what you are capable of living.

                                                   "The more you seek the uncomfortable, 

                                                        the more you will get comfortable."

                                                                 - Conor McGregor

If you fear it.....you MUST do it!

You have to make a habit of doing things..... feeling uncomfortable and sometimes even fearful. 

If  you want to continue to be successful at what you are doing you must learn to do theses things all the time......feeling uncomfortable or not. 

That is how you grow a muscle....with repetition. It doesn't matter if it's a physical muscle or an inner muscle. They require practice and constant work to grow. 

You have to use it or you will lose it.

If you want to be successful you must keep moving, keep growing, keep evolving and you must keep pushing through obstacles.

When you arrive at a new level you must learn something new and that means you have to get uncomfortable again. 

Also at this new level you will be facing new challenges that you have never faced before.

New levels....new devils.

                                        "Whatever makes you uncomfortable 

                                       is your biggest opportunity for growth."

                                                      - Bryant McGill

Be willing to keep pushing through new challenges instead of shrinking back and returning to your comfort zone. 

Life is either moving forward and grow or..... shrinking back and die.

It's Time To Re-Write Your Old Story

                                                     When writing the story of your life.....

                                                      Don't let anyone else hold the pen!

Have you told your old, sad and disempowering for many years....maybe even decades? 

Can you even remember when you first starting telling it? 

Maybe you were in your teens or twenties? 

That is a long time to tell the same old story.

What story am I talking about?

The one where you are not worthy of living your dream and with all the reasons attached to it, explaining why you can't live it. 

Reasons like that you are not good enough, too old, too fat, you are a woman/man, nobody will ever support you, you don't have what it takes, you don't have enough education, not enough money, not enough experience and you don't have the right people in your life that will help you.

We get so used to and we also identify with our old stories that we often sound like an old broken record.

Is this story or stories helping you create the live that you truly desire and dream of?

Become aware of what your old stories are. I call them stories because that is what they are.....only stories. They are not the truth and these stores can be re-written any time.

You are the author of your life, not your parents, grandparents, siblings teachers, friends, spouse or society.

The sooner you recognize that these stories are not the truth of who you are, the sooner you can begin writing the empowering story of who you are. 

You deserve to live a more authentic and awesome life, but in order to do this you must let go of the old story that is preventing you from moving forward right now.

But before you can let go of your stories, you must get clear on what they are. 

Start by listening to what you say and what you think about, and then it's time to start busting apart your old story.

What are your self-sabotaging stories?

Isn't is time to let go of the old story and re-write one that describes who you truly are?

Happy Writing Everyone!!!

Let's Get Back On Track

                             

What do you do when your life falls apart and everything becomes total uncertainty?

What do you do to turn things around?

Did you know that people are a lot like trains. A train isn't going anywhere if it is off its track.

Same thing with people. If we are off track in our lives we will have problems moving forward and enjoying our journey.

Since we have no track to run on, we will find ourselves getting stuck.

I know many of you are finding yourself feeling off track and stuck right now and you probably wondering how you got there.

Many of you are probably thinking that there must be more to life, but you don't really know how to access it.

Believe me, I have been there and I want to let you know that there is a way to get unstuck, back on track and find what you are looking for.

In 2012 my own life totally imploded and I was faced with a very tough situation.
First I was depressed and overwhelmed and I didn´t know what to do.

I really didn't think there was anything that I could do to change my situation.
My life had become total uncertainty.

It is easy to get off track in life when we don't have a well thought out plan.

Most of us are so busy with our lives and unfortunately we spend more time on planning our vacations than we do our lives.

But the good thing is that you can change the direction of your life at anytime. You just have to decide that you want to live a better life in the future. A life that you have designed yourself.

I have created a brand new eight week BounceBack course & challenge, to share strategies, tools, steps and secrets, you need to get back on track and help you become the “STAR” of your own movie.

Unleash The Power Within You

As many of you already know, I am a huge fan of Tony Robbins and I have been following him for at least 20 years. The last 10 years I have been spending a lot of time, reading his books and also articles written by him or his team. I also frequently watch videos, podcasts and interviews where either Tony is doing the interview or he is being interviewed.

I was going to attend UPW live in Dallas, in the fall of 2014 but life interrupted and I couldn't go. That was a huge disappointment for me and attending UPW have been a part of my ultimate vision for my life.
Well..... I finally got my chance to attend UPW and this time it was done live, but virtually via Zoom.
We were 22 500 people attending from 138 different countries. What an amazing event it was.
It was a huge party!!!
So now I am a graduate of this amazing event.
Has anyone of you ever been to this event or any other events with Tony Robbins?

UPW is a 4 day event and every day is about 13 hours filled with amazing wisdom, information, personal stories. You know Tony has now been doing this for 42 years and he as a lot to share. The good and the bad. In my opinion he is one of the best. Probably the best. One of his mentors was Jim Rohn who is another person that I have learned a lot from. You can hear a lot of Jim's teachings and wisdom when you listen to Tony.

UPW is a very energetic and interactive event. I thought my butt was going to be sore after spending so many hours in front of my computer watching it virtually. But I was completely wrong. Instead my feet were killing me from all the jumping and dancing around. Tony likes to keep the energy going and flowing.

One thing that we were told by Tony was that what we learn during the UPW event we must now teach someone else. The more people we can all impact, the better. So today I decided to share some of the things that I learned during the UPW event with Tony.

If this designates with you.....great..... and if it doesn't just leave it alone.
Take what you like and then leave the rest.

Here we go.....
Here is some Tony Talk!

Being a leader is someone that lives life on their terms.

A - See things the way they truly are. Not worse.
B - See it better than it is. Come up with a compelling vision.
C - Make it the way you see it. Your vision. Make it real. Create a strategy.

We must initiate. We must make it happen. We can't be passive.

Repetition is key. Each and every day. Practice...Practice...Practice.

If you are not doing it.....you really don't know it.

Emotion is created by motion. The way you move will determine how you feel.

The quality of your life is the quality of your emotions.

Momentum is the difference between success and failure.

Life is always happening for us.....not to us.

Your past doesn't equal the future.

Burn your boats. If there is a way out, most people will take it.

Clarity is power.

A - What does an extraordinary life look like at the next level?
B - What is preventing you from getting what you want?
C - What action can you take right now to to move you forward?

A breakthrough.....when the impossible becomes possible.

Divorce the story of your limitations and marry the unlimited potential of you.

When you start with..... HOW am I going to be able to accomplish my dream?....You will kill the dream. You must start with WHY. Reasons come first. Why do I want to accomplish my dream?
A - WHAT do I want?
B - WHY do I want what I want?

80% of success is psychology
20% is strategy

Disappointment either destroys you or drives you.

Where focus goes..... energy flows.

Either you are an example or a warning. What are YOU?

Get into ACTION. Thinking about it, won't do it. 
A - Schedule it. 
B - Commit to it.
C - Lock it in. 

When you engage the body..... you engage the brain.

When you talk..... you are only a dreamer.
When you schedule it..... it's real.

Whatever you believe.....will be.
