No one made you go into debt. It was nobody’s fault other than yours. So that has to be fixed before you can start investing. You need to get out of debt and you need to be able to control where you are now.
Adrian Nez

92 percent of people who set goals never achieve them! How do you break yourself from the populous and avoid what may be derailing your goals?

Average people tend to fall prey to these 8 goal killers more often than high performers. What about you?

Will you derail your goals this next year?

Will you have a process to notice and jump over these 8 goal killers when they come into your path?

Adrian Nez and Trevor Mauch from the Carrot team discuss the 8 goal killers, how and where they pop up in our lives, how to get past them quickly (or avoid them all together), and what struggles they’re going through in their own lives as entrepreneurs growing 6 and multiple 7 figure companies.

This could change your entire year ahead if you avoid just one of these common goal killers.

I think that’s one of the key points to being a successful person is to offer value to other people and be a good person. You have to reap what you sow without intentionally doing it.
Kyle Mauch

Are you an introvert? Do you struggle to network and build amazing relationships and connections?

Well, so am I. And so is my brother Kyle. We’re both shy people but we’ve found ways to build amazing networks of influential people. And so can you :-) In this podcast we’ll pass along some of our best networking tips for introverts like you and me.

So this week we’re going to share some of the relationship building advice we’ve learned. As Dale Carnegie said…

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

Make 2017 amazing! We want you to get started on the right path by helping you broaden the people you know and to build powerful relationships.

This episode of the CarrotCast is a family affair. My brother and entrepreneur, Kyle Mauch, joins us to share his stories of how he’s been able to crack through the clutter, get to know more people, and build special relationships with some amazing people.

After all, the best stories are the ones we live and those usually involve amazing relationships.

There are a lot of podcasts out there that are celebrating the entrepreneur life and what you can do and achieve. And, that is all fine. But I also think that is like looking at a balance sheet and only looking at the assets and never looking at the liabilities.Seth Buechley

As you listen to the Seth Secret Happiness Story, I want you to really think about what motivates you to be successful, have meaningful relationships, and leave your mark on this world? (Don’t be afraid to share them with us)

Seth sold his first company when he was 29 for just under $20 million bucks.

–  But he was miserable.

The next several years were some of the most confusing and unhappy years of his life.

After losing most of his money from the sale, he got a second chance to do it all over again, and grew another company even bigger ($60M/yr in revenue) that just recently sold.

During that journey he learned the secret to true happiness and contentment, while still ambitious…and leaving a legacy and living the life he’s always wanted to live. He wrote a book called “Ambition: Leading with Gratitude” (BUY IT. SERIOUSLY. NOW.) and you’ll hear that Seth Secret Happiness story in this episode…
