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.
