[INTRODUCTION]

KC: Welcome to The Business of Life Podcast. My name is Keith Callahan, your host.

Today I want to talk to you about the power of the words that we choose to use. One day, I was out at a ceremony in South Dakota, a ceremony called Sundance, a ceremony that I go out to annually.

There’s – the ceremony is a combination of action and then rest, and then action and then rest. One of the beautiful things that I get to experience is during the rest times, some of the elders, some of the chiefs and some of the leaders will get up over to the loud speaker and they will share some of their wisdom.

This one moment, one of the chiefs was up on the loud speaker and he was talking about the importance of love and the importance of expressing love and the importance of projecting love towards those – especially children and my son was about to be born in a few months. I have three girls and a son and so this was about four years ago – three years ago.

Yeah, a little bit more than three years ago and my son was going to be born a few months from the time that I was sitting here and I was receiving this message. He was saying that sometimes we confuse things. We make things really complicated on how it is that we want to be parents and how to raise our children and so it’s really pretty simple.

He said when my children were born – and they had a lot of sons and a lot of daughters and they would be either still in the womb or they would be newborns or – even as they started to get older and whenever they were sleeping and I would walk in their room and put a hand over them and just say, “I love you son. I love you son. I love you son. I love you son.” He said you just keep doing it.

He literally sat there doing that for about 20 minutes. You could just feel that love radiating throughout everybody in the community and everybody that was there with us at that time.

I was thinking about that this morning. I was getting ready to record this podcast and I didn’t really know what I was going to talk about this morning. I saw a picture of my son as a baby. I got those – the picture is at my desk here, at my – while I’m recording this podcast and different pictures, pictures of the family and just remember that, and reminding myself of that right now. Twofold, to share that with you, to be able to do that with your children if you have children or anyone else. Also to be able to share it with you to do it with yourself.

Nothing more powerful than – you’re going to talk to yourself all day, right? We have this internal dialogue that goes on in our minds all day long. What if it was saying I love myself? I love myself. I love myself. Then what if you just – you had that when you walked with that for yourself and then when you walked with that for other people. You had love and compassion throughout the day. I will never forget that moment at that ceremony when he was just – I love you son, I love you son, I love you son, I love you son.

I just wanted to share that with you today and hope that you have a big, beautiful, bright, shiny day and we will see you on the next episode. 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.
