In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about shifting our focus to being others-conscious and adding value to those around us, so we can break free from the limitations of self-consciousness and experience greater confidence and fulfillment. Of course, taking care of our own needs is also crucial to this process.

Send us a textAre you constantly thinking about what you could have done differently in the past or worrying about what might happen in the future? Or are you fully present in the moment, enjoying the experiences and opportunities that come your way? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about whether you are living in the past, present, or future. Many of us have goals and aspirations for the future, whether it's a career change, starting a family, or traveling the world. However, sometimes we get so focused on our future goals that we need to remember to live in the present and appreciate the moments that we have now. It's important to realize how we live now will ultimately determine our future. If we constantly dwell on past mistakes or worry about the future, we may miss out on the present opportunities to help us achieve our goals. Instead, we should aim to live in the present and use our past experiences as lessons for the future. By taking action in the present and making positive changes, we can set ourselves up for a better future. Let's find that sweet spot in the past, present, and future.Link mentioned:Next Level U Book Club - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-book-club/     ______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Send us a textOften, we make impulsive decisions based on our immediate emotions without giving them much thought. This can be a result of our surroundings or the people we are with that influence us positively. However, such decisions can lead to regrets later on, as our emotions are temporary and not always rational. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about making decisions based on the emotion we feel at that moment and why we humans do it all the time. It can be challenging to control our emotions, especially when they are intense, but it is crucial to recognize that we don't always have to react to them immediately. Taking a moment to calm down and reflect on our options can help us make more informed and rational decisions. So, it's essential to be mindful of our emotions and not let them dictate our actions.Links mentioned:Next Level Nation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700Next Level Monthly Meetup #17: "The 3 MOST Valuable Things You Never Learn About Money" on May 4, 2023, 06:00 PM EST - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/monthly-meetups/______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Send us a textFeeling stupid is a familiar feeling we all experience at some point in our lives.

Send us a textIn today's episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how failing more can be a good for achieving success. As you climb higher and higher, it's natural to experience more failures along the way. However, this is a sign that you're pushing yourself and reaching for bigger goals. It's important to remember that as you progress and grow, the day-to-day challenges will continue to feel just as hard, even when you're leveling up and gaining more experience. You might have previously experienced fewer failures, say 4 out of 10, but at the level you're at now, 20 out of 100 might feel like more failure. But actually, it's a sign that you're more successful than ever before.

In today's episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss how we can overcomplicate our growth by trying to do too much, too soon, or focusing on the wrong things. Although personal growth is not a simple journey, it doesn't have to feel like a constant struggle. By identifying the goals that align with our dreams, and breaking them down into milestones and small steps, we can make progress. So, take a moment to reflect on what you need to learn most right now and develop a plan of action to propel yourself forward, no matter how steep the climb may seem._______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

At times, our weaknesses can seem overwhelming and limit our potential for success, and can be tough to admit. Talking openly about your weaknesses can actually be a strength in itself because of how hard it can be to open up about it to others. When it comes down to it, your greatest strength is likely the one that will bring you success. You need to know what it is, so you can leverage it. Knowing both your strengths and weaknesses is an important step on the path to reaching any goal, as it lets you navigate the ups and downs along the way. Links mentioned:The best way to track your habits is here!

Do you remember when everything was new and exciting, and it felt like nothing could go wrong? If you have passed the honeymoon stage of your relationship, you know that it takes work.

Send us a textAre you constantly dealing with drama in your life? Do you feel like it's never-ending? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about what's causing all the drama.  If people in your life are open to understanding and compromise, then it may be easier for conflict to stay out of the equation. When you find yourself in an old environment, and you're uncomfortable, take a step back and evaluate how mature everyone is. Chances are that if everyone were respectful and understanding of each other, the drama would not arise as quickly. They discuss observing and analyzing the emotional maturity of those involved, including yourself.

Send us a textHave you ever been told to trust your gut? Sometimes your gut is right, other times not so much. The level with which you can trust your gut or your intution depends on how developed it is in that particular arena. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about intuition and understanding how it works. How much can you trust the feeling you get about something? Is your prediciton of what is going to happen next right? Sometimes we know things without really knowing why we know it. It is information mapped in our minds from the experiences we've had or things we've learned in the past, and our "gut" recognizes the pattern in the present.Links mentioned:Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700      To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/_______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Send us a textHow many of us give up on new opportunities or interesting ideas because we’re afraid we’ll epically fail? How many times have we strained ourselves to the point of physical and mental exhaustion in our efforts to achieve certain standards or outcomes, only to find we can’t ever reach them? Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about being imperfect and the importance of giving ourselves grace and compassion when we fail or make mistakes. Sometimes, it’s hard to let go of old ways or embrace new ones without some sort of nudge, confirmation, or validation from others. But in giving ourselves the permission to be imperfect, we’re freer to think, create, and live without the weight of perfection pinning us down.Links mentioned:Free 30-minute call with Kevin: https://bit.ly/3I5bS0uThe best way to track your habits is here!

Send us a textHave you ever felt like you were constantly putting out fires for others, but neglecting your own needs and goals? It's a tale as old as time, and it's called burnout. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss what causes people to get burned out. Whether you're putting in long hours at work, being a shoulder to cry on for friends, or overcommitting to every social event, burnout is a real possibility when we don't prioritize ourselves. Saying "no" may feel like the hardest word to say, but it's a vital one for maintaining your well-being. It is important to take time for yourself before burnout hits.Links mentioned:Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700        Next Level U Book Club - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-book-club/    _______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Send us a textFear of failure and fear of success are two sides of the same coin that drive our desires and ambitions. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of the people surrounding you. It's important to remember that the people you keep close can make all the difference when it comes to succeeding or failing. Your support system can be your most powerful asset in times of difficulty, so it's important to choose wisely who you keep around you. These people also influence your decisions in some way and can determine the trajectory of your future. The hosts also talk about being afraid of losing people or of failure. No matter what fears you have, know that it's normal to feel apprehensive about either scenario but don't let them hold you back, and communicate these to those around you.Links mentioned:Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700        Next Level U Book Club - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-book-club _______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Send us a textIn this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about learning about your purpose by asking the right question. The focus should always be on your actions' impact on people’s lives, not just how much money you can make. Passion and profit go hand in hand, but they should never be without purpose.  At the heart of it, having purpose is about finding something that brings fulfillment and lasting impact. It’s about making sure you leave an impression on the world and that your service to humanity is remembered even after you are gone.Links mentioned:Next Level Monthly Meetup: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/monthly-meetups/Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700   The Triad of Alignment: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1470jrWD3lKlVAXzgYNyxWP5PcEq_Y_84/view?usp=share_link _______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Send us a textToday hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about being quick to judge something we don't like and not learning from it as a result. There's a lot more to be learned from the things we don't like than we often realize. Sometimes we villainize certain people or things because they don't appear interesting or exciting at first glance. In some cases, we might not even be aware of what we’re villainizing. However, if we take the time to look deeper, we may uncover hidden gems that can lead us to new possibilities and opportunities. If we give it a chance, we may actually learn something that we could have missed out on.Links mentioned:To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700  _______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Send us a textIt's easy to avoid the things we're not very good at, but the truth is that avoiding those things makes us worse. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss that it is not always bad when it looks like you're losing. At first, facing our weaknesses can be intimidating. But in the long run, it builds confidence and resilience. It teaches us to overcome obstacles and recognize when we need help or guidance. It's also important to challenge ourselves and practice with a smaller group - even if it looks like we're losing. Looking like you’re losing isn’t always a bad thing – it means you’re growing.Links mentioned:To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700   _______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

We all want to be successful, but sometimes friends or family can try to bring us down with their energy. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about why some people say you're too much. In many cases, it could be because they see a contrast between who you are as a person, your expectations for yourself, and the actions being taken in order to achieve your goals or what you are doing with your success. It may also stem from insecurity on their end, and they may try to close the gap with some negative energy and knock you down a little bit.Links mentioned:To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/_______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!
