[INTRODUCTION]

KC:  Welcome to The Business of Life Podcast. My name is Keith Callahan and if it’s your first time here, welcome for the first time. If you are coming back, welcome back.

I just want to say this morning a lot of people ask, “What can I do to help out with the podcast?” and really it’s pretty simple. The biggest thing you can do for us is to just subscribe to the show.

So when you subscribe to the show, you’re going to get these in your podcast app, wherever you’re out there consuming podcasts, and you will also – you’re going to help us with our ratings and reviews and most importantly – I think ratings and reviews is the wrong word there. You’re going to help us with our rankings, which helps us to reach more people. So go ahead. Subscribe.

All right. Today we’re going to talk about helping the people first. So a lot of times in business and in life, we can really – like we just get caught up. We get caught up in our own wants and our own needs and our own desires and that’s OK. But here’s how you really want to be doing life. Here’s how you’re going to find the most fulfillment in life, the most happiness and you’re going to drastically, drastically increase the amount of stuff that you want. It’s real simple.

So in your own quiet time, in your own prayer time, in your own time when you’re in your journal, when you’re doing your planning, when you’re creating your life, when you’re envisioning what you want life to be like, you set your goals. You set the things you want to accomplish for the year. You set the places you want to go, the things you want to do. You set all of that and especially when we’re talking about the things in life where you’re going to contribute, where you’re going to add value. So maybe it’s your work. Maybe it’s a leader in a certain civic area. Maybe it’s something in your community.

But you set these goals that you want to do and then you shift. You take those goals and you put them on the side and you put them in your – you leave them in your notebook or wherever you put them down and then you go out there into the world and you single-mindedly focus on helping the people, helping the people and putting the people’s wants, needs and desires first.

When you help enough people get what they want – this is a Jim Rohn quote or maybe a Zig Ziglar quote. I don’t know, one of those guys. But when you help enough people get what they want, you can have everything that you want.

So always remember that. When you’re going about life, when you’re going about just everyday stuff – so a lot of times we get so caught up in our heads. You have these visions. You have these dreams and those are OK. Put those aside when you go out and do life and put the people first.

All right. Have a beautiful, beautiful day. 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.
