I have long stated that if you show me your friends, I will show you your future. People individually carry their own energy and that energy is predicated where their motivations lie. Look for people who want to build others up, make them better, and help others be successful. Pro Tip: when you or someone […]

A question we frequently ask people is, what is in your GAS tank?? G is for Gratitude A is for Action S is for Service Each day I ask myself this question and I put down my answers on a notecard. You can find LTP notecards, if interested, in our favorite things this week or […]

We all get 1440 minutes a day. No one gets any more, no one gets any less. See to it that you are putting your time in areas of maximum value. And make sure that you determine in advance your priorities so that you can make decisions quickly as to the things that you will […]

Studies are showing more and more that our mindsets have a drastic correlation to our outcomes over time. There are, of course, outliers and it will rain down from time to time on anyone. That said, at Love the Process we are focused on applying effort to what we call AOC’s (areas of control) that […]

There are four main categories that everything on your calendar represents and a lot of times an event can encompass more than one of these. I always suggest looking for your weakest area and work to turn it into a strength. When you do this all other categories typically get stronger as well. 1. Mind […]

Love the Process is a BIG idea. PSA: Love is not synonymous for enjoy. While the love of the process will bring about an increase in confidence, joy, and fulfillment, the key is to translate the love of the process into disciplined thought and action. Discipline is moving from feeling to choices. When you make […]

We spend far too much time worrying about the outcome and not focusing on the work at hand. Any good farmer knows the time to count the hay is when it’s all in the barn. We all get 1440 minutes each day. A majority of the focus should be spent knowing what we plan to […]

I’m convinced that we are overcomplicating success. So many are trying to find an easier and quicker way of doing things. The magic, however, comes in taking consistent action and then what I like to refer to as the 8th wonder of the world—compound interest. It is as if you take a hockey stick and […]

Give it a go. That is all. Let’s GO! John

How is your integrity today? By that I mean, how well did you line up with your values and did you do all that you resolved to do? Successful people keep their commitments and do the things they said they would do, even long after the feeling in which they committed to doing them has […]

Those who are persistent can GET there. Those who are consistently persistent can STAY there. Start with being persistent in everything you do. Next, focus on being consistent. And always remember that love the process is a focus on our own improvement. To that end, find ways to consistently track YOUR progress. Wishing you and […]

WINsday is a mentality. It is a mentality to counteract ideas like hump day and half-way there. There is no arrival and every day ending in “Y” is a great day to operate at our highest potential. I heard a legendary coach speak last week and he imparted great wisdom. He said, “maintain the will […]

I believe every person in the world is created for a reason and has their own individual gift that they can give to others daily. I think of a gift as a way we present ourselves to others, how we can help or be a positive impact to those we come into contact with daily. […]

Our kids have been attending a worldschool for the past 6 weeks and their final presentations were this afternoon. The focus of their session was on the UN Sustainable Development Goal #16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. During their presentations, the kids shared their projects and ideas for creating positive changes within themselves, within their […]

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” – Oprah Winfrey I’m reminded of this Oprah quote on the backend of not feeling very grateful. Sometimes it’s the hard moments that bring clarity to what’s important. Going through […]

Persist. Persist. Persist.

While much of progress comes steady over time (or regression for that matter), there are times in our lives that we approach clear decisions points where we see and execute upon a need for change. There are two main catalysts for change: vision and pain. The Bible says, “where there is no vision, the people […]

In a world that can be noisy and confusing it can be difficult to stay focused on the tasks at hand. A wise man once said that diligence is the mother of good luck and advised to never leave that till tomorrow, which you can do today. This has never been more important. While we […]

One of the hallmarks of success is taking efficient action each day. One of the famous coach John Woodin’s 7 point creed was to “make each day your masterpiece.” And Jim Rohn once said, “Either you run the day or the day runs you.” At LTP we teach the framework of each day in 3 […]

At any moment we are able to set our feet and cast vision for the future. Take a couple deep breaths and then take a moment to ask yourself 3 questions: 1. Take stock of what you are most grateful for. 2. Think about who has helped you along the way and who you have […]

When we say WIN around LTP, we are referring to a one person game—you versus you. The idea is to compete against yourself yesterday. To attempt to improve ever so slightly each day, each week, each month and each year with a vision in mind of looking back one day at a life well spent. […]

You have enough. So often we think that things fail or cannot succeed without a certain resource…like, money, time, connection, knowledge, etc. I am here to tell you, things rarely fail for a lack of resources, they fail for a lack of resourcefulness. Instead of focusing on where you may be lacking in resources, which […]

We had our friend Ben Morley on the podcast this week and his insights were awesome—if you haven’t listened to our podcast yet, this is a great place to start! Goes live tomorrow! We discussed the importance in this season for creativity and problem solving skills, coupled with the ability to have nuanced conversations with […]

We had a former Division 1 Golf coach at the University of Washington and Duke University come speak to our Young Insurance Agents Conference many years ago.  O.D. gave one of the most simple business and personal accountability concepts through the game of golf. He said, every year at the beginning of the year our […]

In this time of rapid change in many of our lives it is imperative that we have a paradigm that allows us to remember who we are and to stay present. The power of knowing who we are and that we are exactly where we are supposed to be is even more important in times […]

Did you know the average New Years resolution ends on the 17th of January?  Did you make any resolutions this year?  I can provide some advice on how to beat the average. First, it is vital to have vision and goals.  Make sure that you write your goals on paper and that they align with […]

In everything we do at Love the Process, there are 4 distinct areas that we help people to clarify and grow. 1. What is your mission?  Mark Twain famously said, “The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.”  This discovery process is […]

This time of year is a great time to take an audit of where you spent your time over the past year and who you spent it with. Look for the habits, practices, and routines that lead to joy. And, conversely, look for those people and places that brought you down. The formula is simple: […]

Making life “easy” for children usually makes life “hard” for them in adulthood.  I believe one of the greatest gifts that can be given to a child is to teach him or her the value of work.  It is a gift that can never be taken away.  I realize that it can be a natural […]

“The man who thinks he can and the man who thinks he can’t are both right.” -Confucius This month is a PALINDROME month—there are a bunch this month! Today is a palindrome…12-1-21. Our oldest daughter, Malibu, LOVES palindromes. It also is the first day of the month and a WINsday at that—LETS GO. I always […]

This concept of a growth mindset is fairly new in the annals of psychology and performance but I believe it is like the technology revolution—we are just starting to understand the power in the concept that is available when taught and implemented broadly. The key trap to avoid is the belief that you are somehow […]

This is a great bumper sticker and quote, “be the change you want to see in the world…” Yet, I believe so many of us vastly underestimate the power in this idea. It is so easy to see problems and difficulties that exist, it is not nearly as easy to come up with answers to […]

If you stay ready, you don’t ever have to get ready. What are the things that you do daily to keep your saw sharp? Abraham Lincoln once said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” The point is, if we spend our 1440 […]

“Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” -John F. Kennedy One of the most liberating belief systems that one can possess is one that incorporates personal responsibility. I hate to break it to you, at the end of the day no one is coming to […]

Some of our Love the Process team is flying out of Africa today – expect to see much more to come on all platforms. We taught the Love the Process framework to a number of leaders at an annual training. Our team will return ready to pour gas on LTP International as we have a […]

It is vital to have someone, or a few people, in your life who you can consistently share everything that is going on with. Both the highs and the lows. The difficulties and the triumphs. The fears and the retreats. The wins and the lessons. We often take stock in our situations in terms of […]

This past week on the Love the Process Podcast we had my friend Bennie Fowler on the show – the episode will air next week.  Bennie has an amazing ability to dissect what it takes to be successful – personally and as a team.  He played in the NFL and caught passes from the following […]

All good ideas move things in a positive direction. Love the Process® is intended in this way. LOVE — the sense of fun, enjoyment, care, persistence, truth and enthusiasm coupled with PROCESS — the art of getting after things in the moment, day in and day out. Currently, people are inundated with outcomes on social […]

As some of you have started Adriane’s 5 for 5 for 55 challenge, you are doing daily gratitude list as a habit. At the top of the list for most people when initially starting is being alive. Today I put this one down because I truly am grateful for the opportunity to get after it […]
