Some of the key questions and points that I cover in this episode are:

• Why it is always important to consider both sides of any situation? What are some of the potential negative outcomes if and when we do not look at each situation from a big picture perspective, considering all options and alternatives vs. immediately focusing on the negativity and difficulty in a situation at hand?
• It's not as bad as it may seem, it's all about how we look at each obstacle that we face in our lives. Things can be good if we focus on finding good even at times when things may be difficult. What are you focusing on when faced with difficulty? Are you looking for a solution or keep dwelling about the problem?

Some of the key questions and points that I cover in this episode are:

• Process and speed with which we create excuses and not following through on our commitments, promises and goals is a rocky road filled with excuses and false promises to ourselves and others - why are we doing that to ourselves every day, every year?
• What are some of the key drivers behind our decisions to give up and stop focusing on what we were working towards and wanted to achieve?
• Are we expecting results too soon, living in the state of immediate gratification, or we are we simply not fully committed to go after our goals?
• What does it take to establish new habits or to overwrite an existing ones? New habits do not get established overnight, it takes time, sometimes a lot of time, patience, dedication and commitment. Do we really want to create new habits and improve our present and future or we are we just saying that we do because it sounds good to us and others?
• New Years Resolution goals are simply and illusion that many of us create every year just to knowingly create false perception of goal-setting and commitment and to feel good about ourselves, at least for a short period of time. Why not set and stick to our commitments every day of the year? Why not stop making false promises and lie to ourselves when setting new goals?

Some of the key questions and points that I cover in this episode are:

• What does accountability means? Why is it important and why it's required in any goal-setting or habit-setting/creation process?
• Hiding behind 'New Years Resolution' in order to procrastinate and avoid taking any action to create change, or to keep driving towards our wants and needs. Why do we choose to procrastinate and wait until next New Years to reset and start again, establish new goals, or update/'rewrite existing plans and goals? Why not start now?
• Why are we so quick to give up so easily on a particular goal or habit creation, leading to loss of forward momentum?

• Different forms of fear - are we ready and committed to change?
• Why are we so afraid to try something new, that may bring us that happiness, satisfaction, and what we are seeking to achieve in life?
• We don't know what we don't know - creating reasons for not trying to avoid appear unconfident, unexperienced, uneducated. Facing the fear of potential failure every day
• Nobody knows about your internal fears and roadblock other than you - so, why fear what other people may think of you or your actions?
• Instead of thinking of and focusing on what could go wrong, why not think about what could go right and change our present and future for a better?
• Am I creating an 'empty noise' and look for different excuses for not trying, or do I actually take steps towards that what I say that I want and try to change my present, looking for opportunities around me? This is a question that we should all answer when considering change
• Fear does not exist until it is created in our own mind and becomes the reality that we choose to follow

Some of the main questions and points that I cover in this episode are:

• Can anyone become more assertive when the situation calls for it? What may be stopping us to express our opinions openly when necessary, is that fear of being misunderstood or too direct?
• Why do we continue to hide our assertive personality inside of us, even when we know that we have something to say and are confident that we are absolutely right?
• What do we fail to recognize when we are in the middle of presentation of ideas and opinions on the subject at hand, even though it is such an easy and hard thing to remember?
• What do we tend to focus on more in the middle of the constructive argument when we are not assertive, what do we think and care the most about? Are we being consumed by others' thoughts and opinions that we forget about our own?
• 'It's not what you say but how you say it' - recommend vs. tell approach in problem solving and solution finding. Collaboration is one of the critical parts of any productive negotiation

​Some of the main questions and points that I cover in this episode are:

• Solutions are not visible on surface, one must dig deep to find the answers
• It's mush easier to give up and stop pursuing one's goals because others are telling you that it's is impossible, versus work really hard to overcome obstacles, trust and believe in yourself and prove everyone that it is possible
• When was finding great success was easy? High levels of energy and great deal of time are required. Problems will not solve themselves, one must take action to solve them
• Don't quit near the finish line. How champions become champions? They work harder and longer than someone who is not committed to their life time goal
• You either find a solution or dwell over a problem, choice is yours. Anything is possible if you truly believe that it is
