First this episode has no connection to Abraham Hicks...Esther Hicks  isn't being interviewed, there is a segment of her talking in here but  otherwise she hasn't endorsed the morning challenge...yet. :-) I put together the idea for a 30 Day Abraham Hicks Morning Challenge because I believe that establishing that habit could be one of the best things you could do for your creative potential today and many years to come. After listening to a ton of Hicks I found a segment I think bridges the gap and helps eliminate the usual cultural filters when presented with what most people consider woo-woo.  The Abraham Hicks challenge described in the episode is easy to do and can be done alone or you can sign up for email prompts each day here: https://chp.convertri.com/30-day-abraham-hicks-morning-challenge When you do you get an email each day with ad free content to make it easier to do the challenge. After the 30 days though you will be automatically unsubscribed. This isn't about list building, getting you to buy anything or otherwise. It's simple about doing helping with the challenge and that's it. I hope you enjoy the episode!

In the first part of this year I went to Funnel Hacking Live, an event put on by ClickFunnels with some excellent speakers. It was a cool experience and during it I got some interviews from fellow funnel hackers. Why should you care as a creative entrepreneur? The interviews provide an interesting perspective on content creation and connecting to an audience.  Music in podcast from Epidemic Sound (subscriber at time of publishing).

A lot of articles talk about willpower being a limited resource. Meaning those things you use willpower on early in the day mean you have less willpower later on.  There are some experiments showing that it's more like a muscle and developing one area of "willpower" actually contributes to development in others.  This is great news for those who have trouble creating on a regular basis...procrastination anyone? :-)

creativehabitspodcast.com/ofa Let's face it any time you see an online course that's any good and  could help you with your goals or targets - plus has multiple bonus  items or features - there is a natural pull towards it even if you  already have online courses yet unfinished.    There is a term for this...it's called learning procrastination and it's  a really easy trap to fall into...after all when you are learning you  feel good because it's pulling you towards your goals.  Yet what too often happens is the online course although exciting at  first, is just added to the list of unfinished courses.  Although this is hard to admit to and a lot of time and money gets  wasted in the process...there are three strategies that will not only help you with learning procrastination but will also get you to finish  existing online courses sooner.   Check it out and then let me know what strategies you use to overcome  your online learning addiction in hopes of helping others in an ongoing  battle...   Note: there are usually affiliate links in my descriptions, this keeps  the channel ad free while also keeping your subconscious cleaner...there  is no extra cost to you when buying through the link...and all  recommended links are courses or tools that I am using or have used and  find useful.

One of the ways Darren Hardy defines the Compound Effect: “It’s the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices. Success is earned in the moment to moment decisions that in themselves make no visible difference whatsoever, but the accumulated compounding effect is profound.” Basically it’s leveraging small actions over a long period of time. The small almost insignificant actions compound or add up to a large outcome over time. The key element is here is time.
