Knowing what you want matters. Having dreams, desires and goals matter. You should have a clear vision of what you want a year from now and even how your life will look 3-5 years from now.  But, having a clear vision isn't enough.  Your future relies on what you do today.  The choices you make and the ones you don't make TODAY create your future.  So, are you delaying taking action towards your dreams, desires and goals because you are too busy, scared you won't succeed or because you keep putting them off until tomorrow but the tomorrow when you start to take action on them never comes?  If you are, this episode is for you.

Are you running towards it or away from it? In this episode, I share all of the signs and things you may be (or may not be) doing that are actually causing you to run away from your dreams, desires and goals and living the life that you truly want.  It's easier to run away than run towards something but as Steven Pressfield in The War of Art (one of my favorite books) points out...the resistance you feel matches the level of importance of the thing in your life. So, you must run towards it. Always. Listen in to find out how you can stop running away.  To subscribe and hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on iTunes, click here or on Stitcher here.  If you enjoyed this episode, you will like the weekly email that I send out as well.

We say we want something new in a part of our lives. We start taking actions towards them. Sometimes we continue but most times other things take over that seemingly need our immediate attention and we shift our focus and time, energy and effort towards them.  Then, we convince ourselves that we are too busy to go after that dream or desire or that we don't have the support we need or it's not the right time.  The truth is, we aren't making it a priority. We are choosing to make something else more important than our dreams, desires and goals.  Listen in to find out how you can shift your focus and make what you truly want your priority again!  To subscribe and hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on iTunes, click here or on Stitcher here.  If you enjoyed this episode, you will like the weekly email that I send out as well.

This is one of the most powerful lessons I have learned in the last couple of years. It changed my interacting with my spouse, with my girls, with my family and with my clients.  I made a commitment to only work in agreements with people and drop my expectations of them. I realized that the expectations were only creating suffering and misery and contributed to the "stories" that would drain me.  When you decide to only have agreements in any of your relationships, it changes the whole dynamic and it really sets you free from a lot of the issues that can be challenging when you are living and working with someone.  Listen in to find out how to shift from having expectations of someone to only working in agreements with them.   To subscribe and hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on iTunes, click here or on Stitcher here.  If you enjoyed this episode, you will like the weekly email that I send out as well.

We wait and we wait and we wait because we think the timing will be right later, there will be better support later, we will be more ready later or we will have the right amount of money later.  And... those may all be true for a small amount of circumstances and for the rest of the time, they simply aren't. You are waiting for later thinking that the fear will recede, the nervousness about stepping outside of your comfort zone will go away or you will be more ready. You won't. It's not going to be more "right" later. You have right now. You may not have later or your later may be worse timing than it is right now and you will have missed out on an opportunity to create more of what you truly want.  Stop waiting for later.

We make things harder than they need to be. And when I say things it usually means your greatest dreams, desires and goals. We complicate them. We overthink them.

Your home is the place that nourishes and supports you and that provides the foundation from which to launch your life. Is your home doing that for you?  The state of your home reflects the state of your life. It impacts your personal energy and your mental energy.  You need to love your home, be proud of your space and enjoy spending time there. Your home, just like your life needs to be paid attention too. If you are just dropping your stuff to run out the door again, if the counters are filled and if there is clutter everywhere or clutter hidden in every closet or you have to apologize about the state of your home when people come over, this is having a negative impact on your life.  Listen in to find out how and what you can begin to do about it.  To subscribe and hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on iTunes, click here or on Stitcher here.  If you enjoyed this episode, you will like the weekly email that I send out as well.

When someone has a problem with you (one of those issues that don't totally make sense and that are a bit unfounded and hard to understand), the issue is usually never really with you.  They have an issue with them. You are triggering something in them that they are lashing out at you for. With this knowing and understanding, you can then choose how to react and respond to their emotional issue with "you".  This does not mean that you shouldn't consider what they are saying and seek your truth in it. Feedback (even when not asked for) is a good way to see where you are at and look at our own actions and make any shifts that are necessary.  But, just because they are triggered, doesn't mean you have to take it on, let it impact you or change what you are doing.  Be aware of what the impact on you should be, be aware of their internal experience and then respond accordingly.  Listen in to find out why fighting fire with fire never works.  To subscribe and hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on iTunes

Thoughts are definitely things. They impact what we see in an experience. They impact how we respond. They impact how we choose to act. They impact how we move forward.  Be very aware of what you are thinking in a situation. Are you drudging up past history that is clouding your clarity in the current situation? Are you projecting what may happen in the future on what is actually only occurring right now?  Your thoughts are powerful and your current experience of your life, your reality, is created by these thoughts.  Listen in to consciously choose to control your thoughts and create the life experience that you desire most.  To subscribe and hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on iTunes, click here or on Stitcher here.  If you enjoyed this episode, you will like the weekly email that I send out as well.

You are more powerful than you think.  You have gained more power from all of your life experiences than you even know if you are not acknowledging how far you have come, what you learned in those trickier and more difficult situations and seeing the gift in all of the lessons that you have learned.  Life is happening for you not to you. And when you accept this, you will access the power that you have acquired because of your experiences so far.  Listen in to find out why you need to realize how powerful you are.  To subscribe and hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on iTunes, click here or on Stitcher here.  If you enjoyed this episode, you will like the weekly email that I send out as well.

You need to be your biggest fan and supporter. You need to believe in you first. And then, if there are some individuals who don't believe in what you are doing, what your dream and desires are or what you are saying, you can be okay with that because you believed in you first. Be aware of their opinions and advice but always sift through them to see if there is any worthy input and heed it if there is.  Otherwise, seek support from close friends, mentors and those that you hire (like coaches and strategists) when you are choosing to create the life that you desire.  Listen in to find out why others want to hold you back and won't always support you and what you can do about it.

There is this moment that pretty much happens after everything that you choose to do that felt really hard to begin, required a big leap of faith or was genuinely uncomfortable to make happen. That moment usually comes along with the thought that it wasn't hard as you had made it out to be before you did it.  In this episode, we dive into why you must choose to tape the leap because the stories that you make up in your head about how difficult in may be are likely not true or you have made it out to be worse than it actually is when you choose to take the action and do the thing.  Listen in to hear why it's time for you to take the action no matter how hard it feels or how resistant you are right now.  To subscribe and hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on iTunes, click here or on Stitcher here.  If you enjoyed this episode, you will like the weekly email that I send out as well.

There is a significant amount of time, energy and effort wasted on being the victim. Where in your life right now are you being the victim? Where in your life to believe that life is happening to you, not for you? Where in your life are perpetuating the drain of the victim by continuing the story either by telling it or playing it over and over again in your head? It's easy to be a victim.

Will it be through playing the victim or will it be by going after what you want to create next in your life?  Listen in to dive deeper into this.  To subscribe and hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on iTunes, click here or on Stitcher here.  If you enjoyed this episode, you will really like the weekly email that I send out as well.

As soon as there is something else that you desire in any area of your life from your career and business to your health and well-being to your relationships to your material possessions, you must be willing to give something up to get it.  This isn't necessarily a bad thing but it takes changing something in your life to move towards and achieve what you want next. You might have to give up your comfort zone, give up some social interaction for a bit so you can spend those hours working on something or give up some of your guilty pleasures.  Changing something in your life usually requires giving something up.

Believing allows you to grow, expand and take the actions needed to step outside your comfort zone. Believing keeps you going when it gets tougher to keep moving.

It is so important to be present and to be aware of everything that is going on within you and around you each and every day. When there is something that you want, that you have decided on, there are always signs and clues that show up that will guide you and show you the way and even give you reassurance that you are on the right path.  If you aren't aware and present, you will miss these signs and even  opportunities to create more of what you truly want. The signs also show up when it's time to let something go or to confirm what you  may already be feeling.  To dive deeper into how this will change your life, listen in.   To subscribe and hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on iTunes, click here.

One of the keys to achieving more of what you want in your life is to get into the habit, yes I said habit, of doing the most important things first.  These are the things that you will move you forward fastest towards your dreams, desires and goals.
