[INTRODUCTION]

KC:

Welcome to The Business of Life Podcast. My name is Keith Callahan, your host. And today, I want to talk to you about the principle of doing what works for you. And what I want to share about this and what I want to give as an example is meditation.

So I need to just sort of give an overview. I started a spiritual path that started with yoga and then it moved heavily, very, very heavily into a Native American spiritual path. And after about 10 years– this is the first time I’m ever spoken this publicly. After about 10 years of following the Native American spiritual path, I got to a point that I just resisted it. I didn’t want to do it anymore. It was too much work. It was too hard. And mind you now, this is a path that literally changed my life.

And now, I wanted to do something different and I wanted to– I wanted to– now, I wanted meditation to be my spiritual path. And I’d listen to all these meditation teachers, gone to retreats with meditation teachers and my life wasn’t necessarily getting better. I wasn’t in my own personal power. But I wanted, I wanted to be a meditation guy and yeah, there was just this, I wanted it to work for me. And then finally, I let go of that.

I still meditate but I have different practices. The main part of my practice is the main part the grounding part, the stabilizing part is following the Lakota path, the Native American path. It grounds me. It stabilizes me. It gives me that connection to God. There’s a community there that I’m involved in. And it works.

Something else that also works is there’s a specific type of meditation that I do that works for me. It’s not the most popular, it’s not you know– I know gravitate towards like what’s the– like what’s the hardest meditation, the one that’s going to bring me the most enlightenment, right? Finally, I’ve gone to the point that I’ve grown up and what works like what works to slow my mind down, you know and keep me stable. [Laughter] And you know I’ve really looked at things like that, breathing exercises worked for me, journaling works for me.

So a lot of people like we think that things should be a certain way and our mind wants them to be a certain way. But really take time to reflect what works for you and do more of that in all areas of your life. Whether it’s your nutrition, whether it’s your workout, your workouts that you do, whether it’s how you wind down at the end of the night. Whether it’s how you start your day. Whether it’s how you when you need to just regroup during the day like what works for you. Don’t worry about what you should do or what other people are doing like what really works for you and do more of that.

All right. Hope that makes sense. Have a beautiful, beautiful day. Focus on what works for you. Peace!

[FINAL MESSAGE]

KC: Hey, Keith here, and today I have a free gift for you. Listen this free gift is a list of the 12 most influential books that I’ve ever read. These are the books that have helped me to create the mindset, learn the philosophies, learn the skills to really create this big, beautiful, life that we’re living now.

I read a crazy amount of books, I really do. I’ve probably read thousands of books and these are the top 12 books that – they’re the ones that I go to, they’re the ones that I work with over, and over, and over again. They are highlighted, outlined, dog-eared. And I put this list together for you because I want it to be a shortcut.

I don’t want you to have to – you don’t have to go out and read the thousands and thousands of books. These are the 12 that I highly recommend. I have a detailed review for each book, explaining why I recommend them, why I like them, when I worked with them in my life, what part of my life they helped me to improve.

So I put this together for you, and made it super each for you to get this list. All you have to do is send a text to the number 33444 and then in the body of that text, type in “12books” with no space. So that’s the number “12books”. Again, send the text message to the number, address it to 33444 and then type in “12books” as the message and just send that. And that’ll get you setup to receive those top 12 most influential books that have had the biggest impact on my life.

[SPONSOR MESSAGE]

KC: Today’s episode is brought to you by our sister podcast, All About Beachbody Coaching. So All About Beachbody Coaching really allows us to do this podcast without having all those annoying commercials in the beginning for you. So All About Beachbody Coaching, the Beachbody business that Amy and I run, actually funds this podcast.

So yes, it does cost money to run this podcast, we do not charge you anything, we don’t throw in commercials or anything like that, it really is, it’s funded by our business and by our other podcast, All About Beachbody Coaching. And for me, I’m just eternally grateful for this opportunity because it’s allowed me to really create the life that I love to live.

It’s given me the opportunity to do what I want, when I want, with who I want, and even deeper than that, it’s allowed me to help others to create the same for themselves. It’s allowed me to help hundreds of other people become part time or full time Beachbody coaches, to leave that corporate 9 to 5 job and create passive income in their lives.

And really there’s nothing like that. It’s cool when you have success, it’s so much more rewarding when you help others. So I mention this or a few reasons, the first reason is, that’s actually the way that I work with people and mentor people. I don’t do anything outside of Beachbody coaching because I know that it’s such a powerful life changing tool.

So if you’re curious about working with me, interested in working one-on-one, interested in creating the type of life that you wanna live, I suggest swinging over there. The other reason is, even if somebody’s just curious, like you’ve heard about Beachbody, you know there’s a lot of Beachbody coaches out there. Maybe some of them you get a little annoyed with.

It really dives into what this business is really about, which is life transformation. So if you’re just curious, swing over there. And then the other piece is, if you’re really considering becoming a Beachbody coach, I highly, highly recommend you listen to that first.

Alright, much love guys. Again, that is the All About Beachbody Coaching Podcast, our sister podcast.

ANNOUNCER: Thank you for listening to the Business of Life Podcast. Apply what you learned today and you’ll be one step closer to creating the life you love to live.
