Nobody succeeds alone. That’s the simple, yet very important takeaway from today’s conversation. When I was young, I didn’t believe I needed anybody’s help. I wanted to prove to the world that my success was mine—that I had made it completely on my own. Well, as you can probably imagine, that didn’t work out so well! Luckily, I started to recognize the power of relationships and how building a support system of likeminded and like-hearted individuals would not only catapult the success of my business endeavors, but would also bring a completely different level of joy and fulfillment into my life.    20 years later, I’m fortunate to be surrounded by an incredibly talented group of friends. Together we have empowered each other to succeed well beyond what we ever dreamed possible. In today’s roundtable discussion, 5 best friends—myself, Jon Berghoff (co-creator of the Best Year Ever Blueprint LIVE Experience), Jon Vroman (founder of Front Row Foundation), John Ruhlin (author of Giftology), and John Kane (record

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself why people (i.e. you and me) tend to work hard to accumulate stuff that we don’t really need? Today’s conversation with Drew Canole will open your eyes to another way of thinking, being, and living. At one point, Drew was chasing everything for all the wrong reasons. The money, the stylish car, the big house and the fancy clothes — all of his goals were being driven by external factors. His fleeting approach to life lacked purpose and left him completely unfulfilled, unhappy, and 40lbs overweight. Today, Drew Canole is a rockstar in the world of fitness, nutrition, and mindset. As the Founder and CEO of Fitlife.TV, a bestselling author and the creator of Organifi, he is helping millions of people around the world to transform their lives. So, how exactly did Drew make such an incredible shift to the way he was living? How did he ditch the self-absorbed lifestyle and start uniting the world through health and happiness? You’re going to find out in this incredible conver

Last week, I released Part 1 of a musical conversation between Brotha James (aka my good friend, Jeremy Reisig) and Jon Berghoff.

The power of music is undeniable, but Brotha James, takes it to a whole new level by combining music with positive affirmations. His mission is to spread love and joy through music, messages, and inspirational living, and that’s why I invite Brotha James to perform at all of our live events. Of all of the Brotha James songs, I think #3 may be my favorite.

Do you regularly spend time with people who are challenging you to set bigger goals, and helping you to achieve your goals? Our ability to achieve our goals can be greatly influenced by the people we spend the most time with. Not only can they push us to succeed, but they can also help us define what that success looks like. If you’re like most, financial freedom is an important goal. But what else do you value? What about contribution, health, family, accountability, or even bucket-list adventures? In today’s conversation, Jon Berghoff talks with Mike McCarthy in his home in Colorado to discuss what it takes to live your truth and grab life big. Mike is a serial entrepreneur and co-founder and CEO of GoBundance, an Adventure Masterminding group of hard charging entrepreneurs who want to lead epic lives! He also happens to be the co-author of The Miracle Morning for Parents and Families, co-creator of GratefulParent.com, and is the Regional Owner for the Keller Williams Realty Greater Pennsylvania Region, whi

When we accept life before it happens, we get to keep the power that adversity will try to take away from us. We get to control the narrative. Instead of focusing on “why me?”, we can instead choose how we give meaning to something. In other words, adversity doesn’t hurt you, it serves you! Which is what you learned in Part 1 of “Beating Cancer: A Dialogue On Converting Adversity into Advantage”. If you haven’t heard it, I encourage you to go back and check it out! In Part 2, we continue the conversation and dive deep into what matters the most. I break down the most profound lessons learned since being diagnosed with cancer, including the 3 factors (Perspective, Love & Gratitude, and Freedom) that have completely transformed the way I now see the world. This conversation actually may surprise a lot of listeners. You’ll hear that before being diagnosed with cancer, I never truly believed I was deserving of my success. Today I not only explain why, but I share the affirmation that’s shifting my mindset! KE

As many of you  know, shortly after I was diagnosed with cancer in November, my good friend and co-creator of the Best Year Ever Blueprint, Jon Berghoff, stepped up and has been leading the Achieve Your Goals podcast ever since so I can focus on healing. (THANK YOU!!) Although cancer wasn’t my conscious choice, I do believe that I am 100% responsible for choosing how I respond to it. By choosing to accept what I can’t change, be grateful for all that I have, and finding/creating meaning & purpose from what might otherwise be a negative experience, I’m finding once again that every adversity holds within it a profound, life-transforming advantage. This mindset applies to all of us. We all face adversity, and it is up to us to decide what meaning we give to it, and what purpose it serves for ourselves, our loved ones, and the greater good. That’s what this 2 part dialogue between Jon and myself is going to cover. It’s not about what’s going wrong, but rather, actively asking ourselves what we can learn from

As humans, we naturally gravitate towards this idea of finding our purpose, yet most of us struggle to answer the question ''Why do I do what I do?'' The good news, is that we have the freedom to answer that question however we want. In other words, purpose is a choice and nobody can stop you from defining it. Today, we’re releasing Jon Berghoff’s discussion with Performance Coach, Andy Storch on The Entrepreneur Hot Seat podcast. After listening, you’ll walk away with a better sense for what purpose really means to you and how it can be used to fuel your success and exponentially transform the world around you. This is a super insightful conversation that hits on a number of topics. From effective leadership, to the power of strength based questions, and understanding what makes any human system (group, team, community) come alive and perform better than ever before. KEY TAKEAWAYS Find out what Jon’s most influential mentors taught him about sales, leadership, negotiating, decision making, and building worl

I never used to think I was a “salesperson” until I realized we are all born with the ability to sell, and selling is a skill that benefits all of us. Think about it... As children, we were always trying to sell our parents on letting us eat candy, stay up late, have our friends sleep over, you name it. Now we’re always selling others on our ideas, and most importantly, on ourselves. Today’s guest, Karen Briscoe, is an expert when it comes to selling. Karen and her team have been recognized by the Wall Street Journal as one of the 250 Top Realtor® teams in the United States, and they have sold more than 1,000 homes valued at over $1 billion. In today’s conversation, Karen shares her story and breaks down the framework that led to creating an exceptionally successful business, based on—you got it—selling. This discussion will highlight some of the most important habits you can implement to achieve success at the highest level. If you’re an entrepreneur, you'll especially appreciate the simple, yet effective sa
