Summary

What You Need to Feel Safe and Happy Success in life happens on top of a solid foundation of basic needs.  In 1954, Abraham Maslow released Motivation and Personality. He expanded on his Hierarchy of Needs theory. Maslow suggested that to reach your full potential: 1) You must provide for your physiological needs. Food, clothing, shelter, money, and more.   2) You must feel safe. Personally, emotionally, financially, health and well-being, and against accidents and illness. 3) Socially, you need to feel a sense of loving and belonging.  4) Esteem and the desire for acceptance, respect, and value by others is your next step. Maslow said, “What a man can be, he must be.” Self-actualization requires mastery of your previous needs. 6) Self-transcendence removes you from your ego and begins your focus on the greater good. Your best life is built on a sturdy foundation. Make sure you can eat, pay your bills, feel safe, and have friends. Then you can change the world. Learn more about your ad choices.

relevant. I know that because I had a conversation this morning with a client that told me, oh, need a reminder.

whatever it happens to be. You're just keeping things going because things are going pretty good.

1:07.0

Are you trying to wrap things up so you can do something else? Are you so busy you don't know what to do? I don't know.

Let's talk more about that as time goes on. I guess I had a client call me this morning and she's making a life change

and she's shutting down a business you had and she was completely dialed in to shutting down the business.

That's all she was focused on. I need to call this clients and this email out, shut the server down, stop this,

1:32.0

all that stuff, right? And then she says to me, so what do you think is the most important thing for me to do right now?

life. You decided that, right? She's here. So why are you still worried about all the stuff you got to shut down?

1:54.0

You focus on what you want. Now, yes, you've got to be responsible. You've got to get the stuff done. No doubt.

1:59.0

You get what you focus on. It doesn't matter what you decide to do. If you spend time doing the stuff you've always done

or doing the stuff you think you have to do to clean up, you're not going to get anywhere.
