Tell Yourself Yes
- Dr. Bobby Shelton (DSL, PMP, ACC) is a best-selling author,
leadership coach, and podcaster known for "The Self-Leadership Lab"
and the concept of "Easy Hard vs. Hard Hard". (2:30)
- He is the president of Alphacat Consulting and focuses on personal growth and authentic leadership, with extensive expertise in navigating both professional and personal transformation.
- The Hard-Hard is your “Why”: what is the physical, emotional, spiritual goal, and working towards it.
- What does Bobby have as examples for what “Easy-Hard” means? (9:30)
- Bobby describes his health journey not just for weight loss but for overall wellness. (17:00)
- People are often afraid of hard things, and at the other end of
the spectrum, others think that if you’re not suffering, you’re not
working hard enough. (20:00)
- There is meaning in the middle: struggle doesn’t need to mean suffering.
- Finding your why is important, but not for the reason of “keeping up with the Joneses.”
- They discuss the meaning of “Riding the Tiger.” (26:00)
- Vinnie prefers to be active because it helps open his mind to new ideas. (37:00)
- The longer you wait to start something, the harder it is to
start at all, and the delay gets longer. (41:00)
- They discuss a type of “divine intervention.”
- You have to find your own rhythm. (46:00)
- Don’t buy into anyone else’s dogma. (47:30)
- They discuss self-talk, beliefs, and visualization. (53:00)
- Don’t let the world get in your way. (58:30)
- Always think about what’s possible and don’t let others
discourage you! (1:03:00)
- Surround yourself with positive influences, not those who try to drag you down.
