Just how often do you put others before yourself? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discussed how societal norms that equate selflessness with virtue are critically examined, and the need to redraw the boundaries between selflessness and self-neglect is emphasized. We discuss how an extreme tilt towards generosity can sometimes create a warped perception of self-worth, potentially leading to self-neglect. Reevaluate your beliefs, and consider investing in yourselves just as much as you invest in others. It challenges the societal norms surrounding selflessness and encourages a healthier balance between altruism, self-worth, and personal growth.Links mentioned:Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700To learn more about group coaching: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/ Discount Code: NLULISTENER______________________Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Fear is a universal human experience. Everyone, at some point in their lives, has experienced fear. However, the way we handle fear varies greatly. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how understanding and confronting fear can alter our perspective and behavior toward others and ourselves. Much like allergy shots help build resistance, exposure therapy can shrink fear to a manageable size. The more familiar we become with our fear, the less intimidating it becomes. Self-acceptance is a vital tool for personal growth and is critical to overcoming fear. By accepting ourselves, we are better equipped to face our fears and make choices not dictated by them.Links mentioned:Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700 The best way to track your habits is here!

What if the key to your victory lies in faking it until you make it? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how this strategy can catapult you toward personal growth or throw you into self-sabotage.

Yet, it can lead to self-sabotage and a feeling of fraudulence when it's done for the wrong reasons.Links mentioned:Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700 _____________________Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Personal growth can often feel like a lonely journey, particularly when stepping out of your comfort zone and diving into unfamiliar territories. This journey becomes even more challenging when you struggle for recognition and constantly feel unnoticed, undervalued, and unappreciated. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how your value is not determined by external recognition or appreciation but by your self-perception and self-worth. Understanding that the struggle for recognition often reflects our insecurities and need for validation is essential. They discuss that value is subjective and largely depends on the context. Remember that your value is not defined by external recognition but by your self-worth.

Fear, an emotion we all experience, often acts as a roadblock in our journey towards personal growth and content creation. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about gathering proof, receiving feedback, and gaining new perspectives that would have been impossible to acquire without facing the fear in the first place. They discuss that chasing fear can mean something other than achieving immediate results. It's not about the result but the effort, the proof, and the feedback you receive along the way.

We all have passions, things we love and would do anything for. But, over time, many of us lose touch with these passions. Today, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the concept of an 'aligned grind,' a powerful tool to reconnect with your passions and reignite that initial spark. Often, people lose interest in activities they initially loved due to a lack of alignment in their grind. This misalignment can lead to dissatisfaction, a grind that feels more like a rut than a path to fulfillment. The aligned grind concept helps individuals recognize when to re-align their grind, enhancing productivity and motivation.Links mentioned:Podcast Growth University: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/podcast-growth-university/  Next Level Life Coaching with Alan Lazaros, book a 30-minute call NOW: https://bit.ly/3WpxLLo _____________________Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

They talk about the concept of growth and how it can often be a painful process, especially concerning our personal relationships.

It's natural to have self-conscious tendencies, but when we constantly focus on ourselves, it can become limiting and prevent us from fully enjoying life. 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. Neglecting our own well-being can actually exacerbate feelings of self-consciousness.______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Are 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!

In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of feedback in personal and professional growth. Whether it's a skill you're trying to master or a behavior you're trying to change, feedback is essential to making progress. However, receiving feedback can be uncomfortable and challenging, and many of us struggle with it. The hosts discuss why feedback is important, how to receive it effectively, and how to use it to improve yourself. Remember, you can't solve a problem you won't admit you have, so keep your mind open for feedback and start seeking it where you're already comfortable. Links mentioned:Next 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/Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700      ______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Do you ever find yourself stuck in a cycle of endless worrying and analysis, constantly focusing on a situation's potential negative outcomes? Most people tend to overthink rather than overact, getting caught up in their thoughts and losing sight of the bigger picture. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss closing the gap between overthinking and taking action. Instead of getting bogged down by the potential risks and pitfalls, err on the side of momentum and the importance of taking action to move forward. They share examples of breaking free from analysis paralysis and overcoming daily fears. Links mentioned:Next 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/Alan's Peak Performance Coaching -  https://calendly.com/alanlazaros/60-minute-call-with-alan ______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Often, 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!

In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about finding meaning and fulfillment in life and how it's not always an easy journey. Sometimes, we have to weather the storm to find true meaning. It's not always a clear path, and often it requires a great deal of self-reflection and introspection.

By weathering the storm and pushing through the adversity, we can come out on the other side with a greater sense of meaning and fulfillment in our lives.Digital asset: The Triad of Alignment - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1quVuzRssAlJASp9lPJ-QXqFo7xKDT-oT?usp=sharingLinks 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!

Feeling stupid is a familiar feeling we all experience at some point in our lives. But what if we told you that being vulnerable and looking stupid could actually lead to long-term wins? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros explore the benefits of embracing vulnerability and how it can help us become better at failure. They also discuss how everyone is a mess in some area and that it's okay to admit it. Admitting it and learning is much better than hiding it and missing out on a learning opportunity.

Today, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about whether we truly understand what romance means to us and our partners. It's no secret that many men don't think about romance. How important is it to your partner? We'll discuss how romance is a byproduct of shared experiences and how they can help keep the flame of love alive. We'll also dive into the question of whose responsibility it is to deliver the romance - is it solely the job of one partner, or should it be a shared responsibility?Links mentioned: Next 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/ Alan's Peak Performance Coaching - https://calendly.com/alanlazaros/60-minute-call-with-alan ______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

In 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 talk about the importance of dreams and goals in personal growth and achievement. They delve into the journey towards realizing those aspirations, highlighting the significance of both major milestones and incremental steps, or inch pebbles. They also discuss how easy it is to become overly focused on the end result and lose sight of the smaller actions required to get there. They touch on the idea that emotional maturity involves recognizing the value of both the significant and minor steps. Finally, they emphasize the importance of taking action and embracing change to make progress toward our dreams and goals.Link mentioned: Alan's Peak Performance Coaching - https://calendly.com/alanlazaros/60-minute-call-with-alan ______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Sometimes we go through struggles, and we instantly feel like our life is an endless loop of problems and challenges that prevents us from ever achieving our goals. But see, problems are part of our lives. And happiness and success are on the far side of the problems. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss whether there’s really a life without challenges. Living life itself is a challenge that we must fight to overcome. The mere fact that you are alive guarantees that you will struggle, no matter what. All of life is problem-solving. Overcoming those problems is what leads to self-improvement, happiness, and, eventually, success.Links mentioned:Next 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/Alan's Peak Performance Coaching: https://calendly.com/alanlazaros/60-minute-call-with-alan_______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

We all have aspirations and ambitions, but it can be challenging to stay focused, especially when life gets complicated. 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!

Setting boundaries can sometimes leave us feeling guilty, but it's important to find the right balance. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss the importance of setting boundaries that are both firm and adaptable. A healthy boundary should be reasonable and flexible so that you can seize opportunities and uphold your values without compromising your mental health and well-being. By becoming self-aware and understanding what feels comfortable in different situations, you can establish sensible boundaries that prioritize self-care while also helping you achieve your goals.Links mentioned:Subscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-university-podcast/ Connect with us on LinkedIn, Instagram, or via email Instagram 📷Kevin: https://www.instagram.com/neverquitkid/   Alan: https://www.instagram.com/alazaros88/   LinkedIn ✍Kevin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-palmieri-5b7736160/   Alan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alanlazarosllc/   Email 💬Kevin@nextleveluniverse.com Alan@nextleveluniverse.com_______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about what influence we allow into our lives. We are in a world where we are constantly bombarded with information from different sources. Everyone is vying for our attention, but not everything is worth our time or attention. With the overload of information, it can be hard to navigate through the noise. As such, it's important to choose wisely what sources of information you allow in your life. Taking charge of your personal narrative and information sources that shape your decisions is key.Links mentioned:Kevin's Mindset Coaching - https://calendly.com/kevinpalmieri/1-hour-mindset-coaching-call-with-kevinNext 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!

In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about strengths and weaknesses and how important it is to know them. 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!

In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about keeping your relationship alive. Do you remember what you did at the beginning of the relationship? 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. A lot of work in most cases. Otherwise, if you just take things for granted or keep putting things on the back burner, the fire slowly dies out. The hosts discuss these and add that you may be able to cruise for a little bit, but if you don't pay close attention, your relationship could get stale.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!

How into growth are you? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss people’s awareness of their growth and goals. Your commitment to growth depends on how much growth your dream requires and how much growth you are willing to do. The paradigm you’re in also factors in – whether in a relationship or growth paradigm. The important thing here is that you are honest with yourself about where you’re at and whether or not you are willing to stay the course to reach your dreams.  Links mentioned:Alan's Peak Performance Coaching - https://calendly.com/alanlazaros/60-minute-call-with-alan Next 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!

Are 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.

Have 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!

How 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!

Have 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!

In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about vulnerability. It might seem like a weakness, but real vulnerability is an act of courage, a strength. It lets us connect with each other on a deeper level. It takes strength to be open, to share our fears and insecurities, and to let others in. It also takes some courage to take a chance, even when you’re scared.Links mentioned:Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700        Podcast Growth University -https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/podcast-growth-university/_______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!

Fear 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!

In 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!

Today 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!

It'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!

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to be able to keep their finances in check while others struggle? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about what confuses people about money. When you understand how it works, then you don’t want to spend your hard-earned cash without thinking twice. They share that each time you make a small financial decision that reduces your expenses or increases your savings, the action builds upon itself until, like a snowball rolling downhill, gaining size, your financial health starts to improve.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!

Do you ever feel a contrast between the person you are and your self-confidence? 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!

When we’re in a situation where it is uncertain what the outcome will be, some of us either go straight to assuming the best-case scenario or the worst-case scenario. For some, their reasoning is that since life is basically unpredictable, they spend a lot of time imagining the worst outcome. While some live in blissful optimism where they assume only the best outcome possible. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about these possibilities and the third possibility that’s seldom talked about: the most probable-case scenario. While only having negative predictions helps you be prepared, and positive assumptions set you up for disappointments, both can never be accurate. You can never be so sure about anything in life, so the key is finding that harmony between optimism and pessimism and creating that neutral possibility.Links mentioned:To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/The Pyramid of Self-Belief digital asset: https://bit.ly/40Lseln_______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com/  The best way to track your habits is here!

We all know the feelings of guilt and shame when we let ourselves down. Oftentimes it can feel too heavy and overwhelming, like you’re carrying a boulder wherever you go. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about letting yourself down and share the moments they felt like they disappointed their selves. Disappointing others is bad enough, but when you let yourself down, the effect can be devastating. When you feel like you’ve disappointed yourself, take a second to recognize how you feel, but don’t wallow in guilt and shame. Get back up and try again.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!

In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how it can sometimes feel weird when you're in the minority, but that doesn't mean you should stop being yourself. You have a right to be you, and you should identify and amplify what makes you special and unique.  Anything that doesn't fit into the mold of what is considered "normal" can make people feel uncomfortable, and there are going to be times when you might get made fun of for being weird. Don't let that stop you from being who you are.

Sometimes, we hold onto beliefs or assumptions that we have accepted without critical examination, and these can limit our growth and hinder our ability to succeed. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about these beliefs that are not necessarily true and unlearning them so that we may keep growing as individuals. If we can recognize that some of our beliefs are untrue or outdated and actively work to unlearn them, we can free ourselves from their limitations and open ourselves up to new perspectives and experiences. So, what’s your first step to unlearning?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 need a bit of comfort in our lives, but it's important to take steps to push yourself out of that zone. Humility comes from doing things that challenge and stretch us beyond what we're used to. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about staying in your comfort zone and what it does to your future. Are there any areas of your life where growth can happen by pushing yourself just a bit further? When you do something outside your comfort zone, don't be too hard on yourself if it doesn't go as planned.

In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about giving permission to yourself or others. Do you feel like you need permission to take care of yourself, to re-write the rulebook, and make decisions that are best for you? If so, now is the time to take a step back and take stock of how things are going. Think about where you're giving your permission when it's not what's best for you. Give yourself permission to be who YOU want to be. We all have our unwritten rules or core values that shape how we live our lives. Think about what is best for YOU, which will ultimately result in helping others, too.Links mentioned:Next Level Nation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700To learn more about group coaching:  https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/ _______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com/  The best way to track your habits is here!

It’s a fact that at some point in our lives, we are going to be judged for something. We are all open to being negatively affected by something that someone else says or does. It can be hurtful, making us feel vulnerable and paranoid about being judged again in the future. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss the realities of people’s fear of judgment. Our fear of judgment can have an impact on all areas of life if it's not dealt with or overcome before it progresses. As we go through life, that fear of being judged can affect our relationships, friendships, jobs, social scenarios, and even our ability to look after ourselves.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/Next Level Nation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

We should never underestimate the worth of our own experiences; after all, they are unique and full of lessons. It's easy to let ourselves believe that our own personal story doesn't measure up when compared to that of others. You never know who your story will inspire until you share it with the world. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about valuing your story, even if you think it's not as eventful as other stories or if you failed. From where you're standing, it may not seem valuable, but it could mean something more to someone else when they hear it. Links mentioned:Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700    Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/ To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/ _______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

Sometimes you must look in the mirror and tell it like it is. It's easier to give up when you don't think something will work, but that means you won't see the incredible results that are possible if you just attempt. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about asking yourself whether you are doing all you can with all you have, and maximizing your life. They discuss taking accountability for not doing things you know you should be doing and the consequences that result from your inaction.

Our beliefs are the thoughts that we operate on as truth and are the engine that drives our experience. Every choice and decision we make is the result of the patterns of our belief system. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about belief systems and help you recognize the belief that’s running you and your life. We often live our lives as if our beliefs were facts – but only a few are. Our beliefs will continue running the show of our lives unless they are explored, identified, and traced for their interconnections. The bottom line is that our beliefs either empower or limit us and the choice is ours.Links mentioned:To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/The Common Core Beliefs digital asset: https://bit.ly/3TNKCaz_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about meeting our needs in a constructive way versus a destructive way. As humans, we all have six basic needs that we seek to satisfy. For example, many of us want to feel a sense of significance, whether it's through recognition from others or from achieving personal goals. But how do we meet our needs without taking away from someone else? When we understand what our unique needs are, then we can ensure that we meet them without negatively impacting anyone else.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

We all want to find a place where we truly fit in. Humans, after all, have that deep need for belonging. If you’re struggling with feeling like you fit and belong where you are, you’re not alone, although you may feel like it. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about finding where you fit in and tell their stories about it. It’s important to remember that not every place you fit in is where you belong. Finding where you fit in life isn’t always the easiest, smoothest, most comfortable feat. Oftentimes, it takes time, and that’s okay.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/The Common Core Beliefs Digital Asset: https://bit.ly/42xtKbU_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

Truth can be a tricky thing. We all want to tell it and be honest, but how much of the truth can we handle when it comes down to it? It can be challenging to share the whole story when the people around us may not be ready for 100% of it. So what is the right amount of truth? How do we know if we're sharing too little or too much? In this episode,  hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about checking the level of truth a person can handle. They also discuss gauging what the other person or people want to assess the level of truth you can share with them. The hosts also discuss that a person’s willingness to face the mirror and how much of the truth they can handle determines their growth.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

We all know what it feels like to be nervous or worried. We may or may not have felt nervous before the first date or worried after hearing a family member was sick. But with anxiety, we can’t always pinpoint how anxiety feels because it shows up in many different ways. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the anxiety zone and what it feels like. It can come up as irritability, worry, restlessness, and even stress. What’s important is recognizing how it feels for you and getting out of that zone.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

It can be hard to know the difference between making an excuse and preparing for something. We often fall into the trap of finding excuses for why things didn’t go as planned. On the other hand, we can also be too hard on ourselves when we miss the mark on some things. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about different seasons being for different reasons. Sometimes we beat ourselves up for not being 100% in some aspects of our lives, like fitness, reading, self-improvement, cleaning, and others. It may be because we are transitioning to another season, and we have to adjust our priorities and shift our focus. What we should be doing is giving ourselves grace and understanding our reality, as long as we are genuinely not just making excuses.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to problematic situations. Knowing your money story will help you determine your next steps, and help you understand what's missing in your knowledge about finances, so your relationship with money will stop hurting you.

In terms of success, most of us start at the bottom. For some, they begin at some place bleak they can’t help but think they’ll probably stay there forever. And some do, but for the few who work hard, they climb out of that place to a higher elevation where their goals and dreams are nearer and within reach. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros remind you that no matter what point you are in life now, that isn’t where you’ll stay forever. Whether you’ll achieve success depends on the amount of effort you put in, the time that’s passed, and whether you start working for it now or later.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

Have you ever given a compliment, and the person at the receiving end played it down? Instead of a 'Thank you' you get a response that seems to say, "It's not a big deal" or similar. Sometimes people don't know how to accept a compliment. It can be because they don't receive one often and/or they have low self-esteem.

We are in relationships for various reasons. Sometimes our relationships are byproducts of other aspects of our life. We can have work friends because of our job, we can have friends who are into sports because we are into the same sport, or we can have friends that we met at the gym, library, bar, or whatever. If you focus on the relationship paradigm, you will spend effort and time on these relationships. However, if you are focused on growth, you can value those friendships but will spend more time on activities that help you grow. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the reasons you are in a relationship and what paradigm you're in. They also quickly touch on what causes relationships to thrive or suffer.Link mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

Motivation is essential in almost every aspect of human behavior. When you make a decision, your choice is certainly influenced by your motivational state. Motivation determines what we do and why we do it. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about motivation and why most people won’t admit what motivates them to do things, even to themselves. Whether it’s because they don’t have the courage to admit it or be vulnerable, it all boils down to how self-aware you are to know what motivates you.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/Next Level Nation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

It's no secret that our friendships change as we age and grow. Have you ever had a longtime friend who started to treat you differently over time? It can be really frustrating, but understanding why it might be happening can help us better navigate the situation.  In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss that a big reason why old friends start to treat you differently is that you might be treating them differently. As we grow, we start to form different habits, different interests, and different values, which can lead us to act in ways that are unfamiliar or uncomfortable for our friends. We all love unconditionally, but certain things like admiration or respect are often conditional. When one person has grown in some areas of life, this can create tension in an otherwise healthy relationship.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/ Next Level U Book Club - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-book-club/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

It’s easy to overlook the importance of self-awareness, but it can make a huge difference in your day-to-day life. According to Gretchen Rubin’s book, “The Four Tendencies,” being self-aware helps you better understand your strengths and weaknesses, as well as what motivates you. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazarostalk about rest and relaxation and reckless relaxation. They also quickly touch on the Four Tendencies. Straying from the rails can boost energy and creativity when it comes to tackling problems or achieving goals. Straying from the rails proactively can also prevent your reckless tendency from making a mess. Cultivating a greater awareness of yourself is key to achieving a balanced lifestyle.

We used to think that adults had it all figured out, but it turns out that we're all just drawing conclusions from the limited information we have. And those conclusions we draw can even dictate our reality. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about ensuring that our conclusions are as accurate as possible. That's the key to true intelligence – understanding the whole picture. Don't get stuck in a one-dimensional mindset and keep your eyes open for new perspectives to reach an informed understanding of the facts. No matter what you're faced with, remember to be mindful of the conclusions you draw and look at different angles before making any decisions.

In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros ask: are you being too hard or too easy on yourself? Many of us struggle with balancing the two. We want to push ourselves, but we don’t want to be overwhelmed by unrealistic expectations. Ask yourself if your goals are realistic and attainable and if they make sense for where you are in life right now. Remember, there is a happy medium between being too complacent and too hard on yourself, so you may want to take some time today to think about where you fit into this balance. Acknowledge your achievements, reward yourself for making positive changes, and give yourself grace when needed.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/ Next Level Monthly Meetup #15: “3 Big Things Holding You Back From Success.” on Mar 2, 2023 06:00 PM, EST - https://bit.ly/3JLNxgV _______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how it can be so easy to feel like asking for help makes you weak. You often think that you should be able to solve everything on your own. But in reality, that's just not true. Asking for help is not something to be ashamed of and doesn't make you weak - it’s actually a sign of strength! It means you recognize when something is too hard or too big for you to handle alone, and it takes courage to admit it. Life can be difficult, and asking for help doesn’t make you any less capable or independent.

Regret is a bitter pill to swallow, especially when it is about a major aspect of your life. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how to be hyperconscious in making decisions, so you won't regret it later. They share their own experiences of asking themselves how much the decision they are making at the moment will matter in the future. Step out of the situation and look at the big picture and imagine how going one way will matter to you as opposed to the other way. This is especially important when you are making a big decision in your life. When you're aware, you will know when that is and make the decision with more consciousness, and weigh your options more accurately.Link mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/ Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700   _______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

While this seems obvious to some people, many of us struggle with the idea of putting ourselves first. We were raised to think we should always put others before ourselves and ignore our own needs – that it is somehow arrogant or self-centered and not a nice thing to do. So why is self-care not held in high regard as the essential practice that it is for our well-being? Today hosts Kein Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of finding a healthy harmony between putting yourself first and being there for others. When we reach a point where we feel like we’re doing something we don’t want to, the healthiest thing we can do is to stop and consider how we can pour into our own cup instead.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/Next Level Monthly Meetup #15: “3 Big Things Holding You Back From Success.” on Mar 2, 2023, 06:00 PM, EST: https://bit.ly/3JLNxgV_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how you can get more tasks done faster throughout your day.

“You don’t have to see the whole staircase; just take the first step.” – Martin Luther KingTaking the first step can be daunting and actually very hard. Imagine leaping a chasm in the pitch dark; one misstep, and you’ll fall into a deep, endless abyss. It really can feel dramatic when it comes to stepping outside our comfort zone to follow our dreams. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of taking the first step and having the courage to do it no matter how difficult it could be.

Although self-confidence can mean different things to different people, in reality, it simply means having faith in yourself. Self-confidence is not a static measure. Our confidence to perform roles and tasks and deal with situations can increase and decrease, and some days we may feel more confident than others. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros share ways that you can start building your confidence. Confidence is not something that can be learned like a set of rules; confidence is a state of mind. Confidence comes from feelings of well-being, acceptance of your body and mind, and belief in your own ability, skills, and experience.

Being selfless means that you care about others as much or more as you care about yourself. It means that you feel their pain, share their struggles and go out of your way to be a positive force in your life. Sadly, being selfless also means you have to deal with many things that selfish people never even think of. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about some things that we see as negative but can be looked at as something good about us. Although helping others can benefit our health, happiness, and relationships, being too caring can sometimes have downsides. For example, especially selfless people may feel exploited in their interpersonal relationships or burned out in their jobs.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/Next Level U Book Club: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-book-club/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

The important things depend on your core values and context. Importance and urgency are relative. Without the full context, you will be unable to correctly assign importance and urgency. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about setting priorities based on importance and urgency. They also discuss the different factors that help you gauge value and opportunity cost. What was important to you 5 years ago may not be important to you now. It also depends on your self-belief because you may be doing things that are important to others but not important to you. If you are surrounded by supportive people, you will likely be more comfortable with putting what's important to you first before doing something to please others.

Following the trend can be exciting and may feel like progress. It's true that there have been people who got their break and succeeded from trend hopping, but most of the time, they are the exception. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the illusion of progress that holds back dream chasers. They highlight examples of the illusions of progress that people base their career or business decisions on. You have to look closer and be critical about measuring your progress. It might be a delusion, and your decision based on it may put you at risk.Link mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/ Next Level Blog - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-blog/ _______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Fear, just like love, is a powerful emotion. They can motivate us beyond what we believe is possible. Fear of losing health can drive us to exercise, eat nutritiously, or stop smoking. But fear has a flip side. It can freeze us in place and bind us to a mindset that steals our ability to live a fulfilling life. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about fear and how our ability to overcome it depends on our courage to see through its lies.

Life can be overwhelming. Our minds fill with chatter, our view of the world becomes tainted and distorted, and our ability to be present is lost. We all can relate to that. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about mindfulness, what it means to them and what it means to you. Mindfulness offers an incredible opportunity to flourish in life. You will learn how to stop, breathe, see beauty, and live with compassion and joy. While mindfulness does not change all that happens to you, it does change your relationships with what happens. So, what does it mean to you?Link mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Anyone who has ever tried to achieve a demanding goal knows that consistency is critical. Whether it's working out, eating healthy, or studying for an exam, there is no substitute for consistency when it comes to reaching your goals. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros share another reason why consistency is of utmost importance. Aside from building your momentum and it being the critical driver for success, consistency is also where you learn what works, what doesn’t, and what never will.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/Next Level U Book Club: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-book-club/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

 Doing the same thing repeatedly, day in and day out, for a long period of time without proper rest can cause you to burn out. What can you do when you're burned out? In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about burnout and their different analogies for how it happens and what to do when it happens. To recover from it, change your routine. Introduce a new or better activity, and retire ones that don't serve your purpose. When you’re really burned out, it is hard to improve. Watch out for burnout and avoid it when you can. Rest when you need to, and make changes that will keep things interesting and keep you from burning out.Links mentioned:Next Level 5 To Thrive (free course) - ​​https://bit.ly/3xffver Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/ _______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

 In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the fear of judgment. Everyone is afraid of judgment at different levels in different situations. The advice to not care about other people's opinions is not simple. It does not have a switch you can turn off. You can care about other people's opinions, but do not let them control you. Additionally, this fear of judgment stems from thinking that you should be perfect. Well, you're not, and that's okay. To some degree, judgment helps us grow. Kevin and Alan share some examples of being judged and their takeaways from those situations.Link mentioned:Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700 Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/ _______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

It takes discipline to keep habits and achieve a goal. Discipline can mean missing out on the fun. It is also associated with some level of pain. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about discipline and its effect on your trajectory to success. They discuss when discipline reaches a level that makes you sick of it. The opposite is also possible, in that you can miss discipline when you are not growing or seeing progress. They also talk about the correlation between discipline and fulfillment.

When we talk about personal growth, we refer to expansion, blossoming, and transformation. Transformation can be challenging because it requires significant changes in our behaviors, attitudes, values, relationships, and self-image. It’s not a stretch to say that personal growth is hard. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about one thing that comes with personal growth: growing pains. They also share their growing pains, such as the pressure they are under as they continue in their personal and entrepreneurial journey. In the same way, physical growth causes growing pains in childhood; personal development can cause psychological and emotional discomfort in adulthood. Even if we sometimes try to avoid it, emotional and psychological distress is a personal development necessity.Link mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about finding a perspective that lets you see that there are moments in life when you need to be present.

When you have reached your goal and claimed success, you have to work even harder to keep it. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how keeping success means you have to remember the fundamentals. When you stop doing what you did to get there, you can expect some failure. The work does not come full stop when achieving success. Success needs maintenance. It means you can grind less, but you can't stop, or you will lose your momentum and find yourself struggling again.

We have often heard that showing up is 90% of success. It is anchored to the thought that if you are not present, even if you have the talent or skill, you will not succeed. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros dissect this belief. They share that success requires more than just showing up. Hand in hand with being present, what you do before, during, and after bears weight in the outcome. In addition to that, it takes a lot of tries over a period of time to achieve success.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/ Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700 _______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

All of us procrastinate on some level, with no exceptions. What is procrastination, and why do we do it? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros explain why we procrastinate. They also discuss what makes us stop procrastinating. We all know that up to a certain point, we stop procrastinating and do what we need to do. Other times, when we're lucky, it has already been done for us, which in a way, rewards our procrastination and increases the chances that we will do the same next time something similar comes up. We can set ourselves up for success if we set priorities and frame the situation so that getting it done is more rewarding or necessary than procrastinating.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/ Next Level Monthly Meetup #14: "Building Trust, Safety, & Communicating Effectively In Your Relationship” - https://bit.ly/3vIKq0S_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

The common definition of self-love is doing something for ourselves that may not be entirely good for us but feels good at the moment. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros zero in on what self-love really means. They describe the moments when they were doing something for themselves after a hard day, week, month, or year. Sometimes we can go overboard on self-love and border on putting our future success at risk. The self-love we choose to do may not always move us forward to our goals and may also be a distraction from reality, where we are burned out. We need to pause and choose a self-love activity that fulfills us holistically.

You don't have to look far to find what you need to succeed. You just need to look inside yourself. Tactics are available and easy to build, but they do not matter when your beliefs are not aligned. Maybe you have beliefs that are keeping you from moving forward. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of having a deeper understanding of yourself and your actions toward your goals. It is not just about the technicalities of your strategy or the step-by-step procedure. You need to learn about yourself and check your beliefs and make sure they are accurate and aligned with what you want to achieve.Links mentioned:Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700 Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/ _______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

We all have a story we tell ourselves. Whether it is true or not is a question we must ask ourselves because this story determines our path toward the future. If the story is not true, we could be undermining our chance at success. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the story we tell ourselves and how it affects the course our lives are taking. They share their own stories, their beliefs, and how it has shaped their lives. Sometimes the story we believe holds us back from opportunities that could help us achieve our goals. It determines the kind of path we take and how soon we achieve our dreams. We need to learn to validate negative stories to stop fear in its tracks and steer our course toward our goals.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/ Next Level U Book Club - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-book-club/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

You might be experiencing a situation that isn’t working and wondering whether you should persevere a little longer. You might wonder whether more time will allow you to fix the problem or reach the goal. After all, people always say, “Never give up.” But how do you know when it’s time to give up on people, places, things, and ideas? Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and ALan Lazaros talk about it and share how to differentiate whether it’s time to move on or hold on just a little longer. Making the decision to give up might not be easy, but it will open the door to fulfilling and joyful life experiences. Letting go will set you on a path of learning, growth, and expansion.Link mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

We oftentimes confuse happiness with fulfillment. We were taught when we were young that life is about finding happiness. In chasing happiness, we can end up lost, confused, and filled with regret. We can try to balance happiness and fulfillment, but it still does not guarantee that we will be happy every day. Today, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about what happens when we optimize for happiness. They share that we will come across barriers that keep us from succeeding and being fulfilled when our aim is only happiness. Despite this, we should continue doing meaningful work and adding value to other people’s lives. We should continue working on the things that give us fulfillment and a deeper meaning in our existence, not just happiness. We can be happy but not fulfilled, but when we are fulfilled, we are happy.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/ Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

The reminder to “let go of what doesn’t serve you” is everywhere. You’ve probably seen it floating around on your social media feed at some point. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the process of letting go of what does not work for you anymore – persons, places, things, and ideas. Sometimes in order to let go, you need to figure out what you want to embrace instead. Letting go creates space for fresh beginnings: stripping you of what happened yesterday and enabling the doors of brand-new opportunities to open today.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/Book a FREE call with Alan: https://bit.ly/3Wr6clL_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Business relationships are critical for top-performing growth. Relationships are a means of cultivating ideas, encouraging collaboration, and contributing to the community in your industry. But you need to stop networking if you want to see true success in your business relationships. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about networking and why it’s the one big piece of advice they stopped taking. Networking assumes that you are meeting fellow peers and industry players to get something in return – whether you're hoping to gain a client, a partner, a vendor, or a job. Instead, strive to become your best. Striving for excellence is an eternal desire that keeps driving our performance and influencing our results. Do that, and all the right people and the best results will come to you.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/Next Level 5 To Thrive: ​​https://bit.ly/3xffver_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Do you want to know the one person who will be there for you no matter what? Take a good, long look in the mirror. Yes, that person is you! Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of betting on yourself. When you bet on yourself, you permit yourself to chase after your dreams. You deserve to bet on yourself, but no one can make you do it. Either you become the master of your fate or wait for someone to decide when you get to play and when you have to ride the bench.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/Next Level Podcast Solutions: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-podcast-solutions/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Has anyone commented that you are too much? Or, have you thought that someone was too much? It could be you or someone who talks loudly, someone who boldly says what they want to achieve, or someone who seems to boast about their success. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the difficulty in distinguishing whether someone is genuinely confident or talking out of their wazoo. They share that sometimes confident or successful people do not admit their confidence or success is at 10/10 because of the negative energy that surfaces afterward.

Let’s be real; there aren’t many people in this world who would choose to be lonely. We, as human beings, thrive off our interactions and connections with others. We often don’t do well alone. Some fear it so much they settle and keep people that don’t deserve a spot in their life hanging around. But, Is being unhappy with an individual emotionally and mentally better than just learning how to be comfortable with just YOU? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the one thing you need to realize about being alone: it isn’t bad. In fact, it can be the best time for self-discovery. You discover things you never even knew about yourself. You learn not to accept the disrespect and abuse you maybe once did. One of the best things you can do for yourself is to learn who you are. That often requires you to concentrate on just yourself.Links mentioned:Join Next Level Nation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Are you spreading yourself too thin with so many commitments? Are you afraid to offend someone when you say ‘no’ or pivot on a decision to meet someone or attend an event? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about setting boundaries and saying ‘no’ to others so you can say ‘yes’ to yourself. They share that sometimes we find ourselves in a situation where we have to make a choice, and if you have to choose yourself and say ‘no,’ don’t feel guilty about it. They also add that we should decide what fills our cup and not allow other people to make us feel bad about our boundaries.Links mentioned:Next Level U Book Club - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-book-club/Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700 Next Level Group Coaching - https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Sometimes we hit a rut in our journey but don’t see it or refuse to acknowledge it. We get away with it because we may be surrounded by “yes people” who are afraid to rock the boat by telling us the truth. When this happens, we need someone brave enough to give us a good kick in the butt to set us right.  In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the truth contract and what it means in our relationships. They share that we can only kick butts when we have a strong truth contract with someone and can’t just go around kicking everyone’s butts. They also share that when we get a kick in the butt, it is from someone concerned that our current actions will not get us the results we want. They also mention that when we hire a coach, we literally give someone the right to kick our butts when needed._______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

An essential component of success is belief. It is hard to take action if you don’t believe you have what it takes. This is why surrounding yourself with goal-oriented people is important. You can borrow from someone in your circle if your belief is not enough. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of belief in achieving your goals. They dive into who can fuel your fire and that only people with more fire than you can add to your fire and emphasize that a person cannot give what they do not have.

How do you react when you’re in an uncomfortable situation? When you’re put on the spot, or you hear unpleasing news, what’s your go-to reaction? Are you a calm-and-collected type? Or are you someone who loses their cool and escalates the situation? Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about reactions and how it says more about you than the person or the situation you are reacting to. How you react to a situation says everything about your character. Sometimes, showing strength isn’t only the ability to speak up for yourself.

How much do you believe in your dreams? We need to believe in our goals first to achieve them. Otherwise, we won't take action toward our goals if we do not believe they are possible or worth it. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the three beliefs that determine success. They recount their own beliefs when they started and how that pushed them forward to the success they are now, and how different it would have been if they didn't have the three beliefs.Alan’s article:Micro Failure for Macro Success - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/micro-failure-macro-success-alan-lazaros/Links mentioned:Next Level Nation Private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thenextlevelnation/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Expectations are what we think will happen, while the reality is what actually transpires. While we hope these two will match up, they often do not. This polarity between expectations and reality is what often causes disappointment, frustration, and unhappiness.

How open we are to a growth mindset, goal setting, and self-improvement can determine our success, and the size of our ego is the key. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros share their observations and realizations when they gave a speech in front of the kids and the staff.

Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how we can be in three positions in life at any given time, with a focus on fitness. They ask profound questions and touch on dealing with envy when someone you know is currently at their best. Is your best in the past, or are you headed toward your best? What if your best is in your past? Are you willing to allow it to be that way, or are you going to do whatever it takes to keep bettering your best?  Link mentioned: Next Level Podcast Solutions: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/podcast-growth-university/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Google defines ‘excuse’ as a reason put forward to conceal the real reason for an action. We make excuses every day. Especially when we face resistance at something we do.

Sometimes, you don’t get the results you want or deserve in life. Despite having a clear goal and plenty of ambition, it can seem like everything is going against you. ​​It’s easy to become frustrated by a lack of progress or even compare yourself to others – it’s okay. One thing you shouldn’t do, though, is quit. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the reason why some people quit too early in their journey toward their goals. While it may feel like the end of the world when you’re not getting the results you want, it’s a part of your unique journey on this planet. Sometimes, we just don’t see it; the little things we do have the biggest impact on the results we get.Links mentioned:Next Level Hope Foundation - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-hope-foundation/Group Coaching Round 9 - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Reviewing is any process that helps you use personal experience for learning and development. It can range from reflecting, analyzing, reframing, and learning from your experience. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of reviewing how your experience went after any activity, whether you’re open to doing something again, what the best thing about it was, or what you can do better the next time you do the activity again. Reviewing is an opportunity to add value and meaning to experiences, whether small or large, negative or positive. It allows you to become one percent better at what you do than you were the last time.Links mentioned:Join the Next Level Nation private FB group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700Reach out to Alan: https://calendly.com/alanlazaros/30-minute-call-with-alan_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

We all have goals. And what's the first thing most of us think about when we consider how to achieve them? “I need to get motivated.” But the thing is, there’s something more powerful than motivation to achieve your dreams – your intention to implement them. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss the power of implementation and how it’s common in successful dream chasers. You can have big dreams and all the knowledge on what to do and how to get them, but they will remain as dreams if you don’t take action and implement them.Links mentioned:Check out our courses:Next Level 5 To Thrive - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-5-to-thrive-registration/Next Level Live 2022 - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/register/next-level-live-2022/Join Next Level Monthly Meetup #12: "Your Reaction To Your Failures Creates Your Success" - https://bit.ly/3FW3f7l_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

A quick internet search about significance tells you it is the quality of being worthy of attention or importance. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about our significance and why we do the things we do. We all seek significance in our lives. But often, we search for it in different, and sometimes wrong, avenues. The key is to find it in places or with people that allow us to receive it long-term.Links mentioned:Join Next Level Live on March 25, 2023 and take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/Join Next Level U Book Club: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-book-club/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Everyone has the ability to dream, but not everyone has the willingness to truly chase their dreams. We all have unique circumstances in our lives that we can use as excuses, but learning to find those workarounds in our life to start implementing changes needs to be made to make our dreams come true. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of believing in yourself and your dreams first before even expecting that other people will. Dreams are just dreams until you decide they will be something more.

Self-celebration is celebrating the person you are now, not your future self or not the person you wish you could be. In this week’s Q&A, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros answer questions about celebrating yourself even when other people don’t think you should.

Everybody feels disheartened at one point or another. Even those who always seem perfectly polished and positively chipper have moments of pure and utter frustration. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about feelings of disheartenment and what you can do when you feel it. We all have times when we feel discouraged.

Life has become so hectic that sometimes we get so caught up in ticking off our to-do lists that when we accomplish even the smallest milestones, we don’t stop to breathe and take in our success; instead, we rush on to the next thing on our list. In this live podcast episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros share the importance of celebrating even your smallest wins. Not taking time to reflect on what you’ve accomplished robs us of moments to recalibrate and come back stronger. It also robs us of moments of gratitude and appreciation. We often look outward at other people, expecting them to clap for us when we smash a goal, forgetting that we are supposed to be our biggest cheerleaders.Links mentioned:Group 9 Coaching slots are now available: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/Next Level Monthly Meetup #12: "Your Reaction To Your Failures Creates Your Success": https://bit.ly/3FW3f7l_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Most of us these days have too many things on our hands that we find it hard to juggle everything we’re trying to do. Some people get so deeply engrossed in one area of their life that they neglect other areas, which may be more important. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about finding the balance between everything you do while you’re going for your dreams. With our daily routines and hectic work schedules, we tend to lose a little of ourselves daily. The challenge is to find harmony between what we must do with what we enjoy doing.Learn more about Next Level Hope Foundation: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-hope-foundation/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Judgment hurts. Period. Whether it is your critical self-judgment or the snarky words dished out to you by a friend, family member, or acquaintance. Critical words can stick like glue in one's mind for years – sometimes even longer. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the difficult task of dealing with judgment and how you can deal with them. We’ve all experienced judgment: from unwanted advice implying you are doing it all wrong to downright nasty comments condemning you as a person. But remember, people will always judge, no matter what you do. So make sure your life is guided by your values and beliefs, not the beliefs of other people. _______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Once you understand the importance of goal setting, the next thing to do is to figure out what you want. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss choosing and setting goals. We all know that goal setting is very important, but remember that setting your goal is only one of the journey's steps to achieve it. So, what is your goal?

The biggest injustice you can do for yourself is to sit on the sidelines and wait for the perfect time to arrive or the perfect means for you to take action. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of taking action for your dreams and goals instead of waiting for perfection. There will never be a perfect time for you to take action. The stars will never align precisely as you plan them to. There will never be a precise moment to start a new project, quit your job, get in shape, change your habits, ask that girl out, or be a better child to your parents. Most often, the ones who succeed are the ones who produce, not the ones who fiddle with perfection.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 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

We’ve all left people behind at some point in our lives. It can be taken a few different ways, whether leaving people behind with negative energies in your life, outgrowing them, or physically leaving people behind after moving away. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about leaving people behind and whether or not it’s a selfish act for you to do. Some ties are more challenging to cut than others, but no matter how difficult it is at the time, remember that, in the end, you are serving yourself by allowing yourself to grow and be who you want to be.Links mentioned:Next Level 5 To Thrive (free course): https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/courses/next-level-5-to-thrive/Next Level Hope Foundation: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-hope-foundation/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Self-discipline is what pushes us to deliver on our best intentions and goals, even when we don't feel like doing so. It’s when you intentionally choose to pursue something better for yourself, and you do it in spite of factors such as distractions and unfavorable odds. In this week’s live episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about discipline and what it means to each of us. If we have self-discipline, we can put off short-term pleasure in the pursuit of long-term gain._______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Many of us can set goals and create a plan of action to achieve them. However, most of us stop after a while. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the three important things to achieve success. Each of us has our own interpretation of what success looks and feels like.

But going through hard times can also benefit us – it can help us build the strength to make it through anything. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the benefits we can get by going through and overcoming adversity. Life has its ups and downs. Hard times can help you rethink your view of the world.

We all have some days when we feel like a rockstar, like nothing can bring us down. On other days, not so much. It’s like a switch flips. Some days, without obvious causes, you want to hide because nothing seems to feel right. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about insecurities and how you can deal with yours. Our insecurities can get the better of us, but that’s entirely normal. We’re all humans, and we are wired to notice what doesn’t go well or what isn’t working more than what is. Learning how to overcome insecurities is challenging; what’s important is you start._______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

We all have an inner critic. At times this little voice can actually be helpful and keep us motivated toward goals. However, this voice can often be more harmful than helpful, particularly when it gets into the realm of excessive negativity. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about one common mistake that will affect your identity, how you see yourself, and how you introduce yourself to others. Thinking negative things about yourself may feel like astute observations, but your thoughts and feelings about yourself can definitely not be considered accurate information. Your thoughts can be skewed like everyone else's, subject to biases and the influence of your moods._______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

We, humans, are meant to belong. We have an innate need for human connection, belonging, and community. In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, belongingness and love are listed right after the basic survival needs. In this week’s live podcast, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how you can find your people in the sea of people who surround you. Finding your people will not happen quickly, so taking your time, patience, and diligence is essential.

In our journey to finding happiness or changing our life, it can be frustrating to feel like you’re not getting anywhere and you’re not seeing results from all the work you’re putting in. But the thing is, progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about progress and how it isn’t always visible or recognizable. Maybe it feels like you’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that. If you’re making any steps forward, even if there are also setbacks, that still counts for something. Celebrate your victories, and don’t stress over the bad days._______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Many of us grew up believing that giving is more virtuous than receiving. But many givers have trouble receiving due to them not deeming themselves consciously or unconsciously good enough or worthy enough to receive. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss the reasons why most of us have difficulty receiving. Letting ourselves receive deeply and graciously is a gift to the giver. It conveys that their giving has made a difference – that we’ve been affected._______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

“Progress is too small to recognize from day-to-day but impossible to miss from year to year.” – Kevin PalmieriComfort is something we all seek. The notion of “being comfortable” is highly prized and promoted in our society. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about discomfort and why it’s not something you should run away from. Running from pain prevents us from being able to see and feel what is present. It holds us in a false state of reality and never allows us to know our true selves. Certain life events can be challenging and unfamiliar. If we are clinging to any form of comfort, we will limit our ability to adapt and grow.Learn more about group coaching at: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/Join The Next Level Business Retreat and experience the most transformational weekend of your life: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-business-retreat/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Opportunities can come in the form of a job, meeting someone new, or taking a risk. Sometimes we overlook these opportunities because they require us to step out of our comfort zone. But the thing is, you can’t take opportunities without taking the discomfort, as well. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about opportunities and the one thing that comes along with them – challenges. Taking opportunities allows you to learn something new. We can't learn in our comfort zones; taking chances will help you grow and evolve as a person, which is key to success._______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

The goal is not to be fearless but to learn to embrace your fears. In this week’s Q&A, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros respond to questions during last week’s live podcast episode, “You’re Not The Only One Who Is Afraid Of Your Fear,” about helping others with their fears, aligning ourselves with the right people, letting your fear drive, and more.Leave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

It’s unlikely that you see yourself as a villain. Sure, you make mistakes, and you screw up – not always but often enough to remind yourself and others that you’re not perfect. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about whether or not your friends make you a villain. We all grow and change, just not at the same level. Because of this growth, friendships tend to fall apart; relationships break, and some people will get left behind. You will always be the hero of your story but also the villain in someone else’s.Leave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

You’re undoubtedly familiar with the saying to “do one thing every day that scares you.” In this week’s live podcast, Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about fears, the importance of understanding that you are not alone in yours, and why you should face them.

As humans, we have an incredible ability to convince ourselves about the meaning of life. If something doesn’t happen, we say it wasn’t meant to be, but all too often, it’s an excuse not to delve into the truth of the matter. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about why the saying “It wasn’t meant to be” is not exactly helping you. All too often, we use some imagined sense of fate to decide our destiny instead of taking accountability for our actions which led us to where we are.Leave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

The amazing thing about change is that it is always possible. You can always change your situation, whether your career or lack-there-of, your relationships, your home, or even your hair color. But sometimes, it can be hard to know when it’s time to make a change. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about changing your course in life and the importance of knowing the right timing. Change is constant, yes, but you should never make a change too early or a little too late.Leave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

Uncertainty has always been a part of life. It can even positively affect our lives, like moving to a different city. But when they’re unexpected, they’re often disruptive and challenging. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros urge you to think about your risk tolerance and how certainty-driven you are. Most of us want more certainty to break through fear and steer our lives toward our destiny, while others prefer to wing it and take life as it comes. Either works, but the key is to find the balance.Leave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

They all say that the opposite of gratitude is not ingratitude but ambition. But we know that ambition alone doesn’t make you happy. We also know that while there are more than a million millionaires in the world, some of them are still miserable. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about grateful ambition, why it’s important, and why you should find the balance between them. Grateful ambition is about appreciating your life's amazing while staying hungry for the future. Because if gratitude opens you up, ambition opens the whole world up.

It’s the last day of the work week, and you’re working furiously to complete a task before the five o'clock deadline while silently cursing yourself for not starting it sooner. How did this happen? Why did you lose your focus? Sound familiar? If so, you're not alone. Procrastination is a trap that many of us fall into.

Humans are prideful beings, which is one of the reasons why it is so difficult to let go of wrongdoings, rejection, and hurt. But if you let them fester, you give the circumstance greater control over you than you have over yourself. This is why we should always choose forgiveness.

When starting something new in business or life, we often get fired up about our new idea and are eager to begin the process and make it known to everyone around us. We get engrossed in how we can start that we lose sight of planning how we can sustain. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about one of the biggest mistakes we often make when we start something and what we can do to remedy it or avoid doing it the next time around.Quantum Goal Setting: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/quantum-goal-setting-alan-lazarosLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

It is said that we are most alive when we live more fully in the present. But some people dwell on the past, while others focus too much on the future. In this week’s live podcast, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss the time zones we live in: the past, present, or future, and how we can find the balance. Letting go of what’s in the past may be difficult for some, but the past is something we only need to understand and learn from. Living in the now offers our richest sense of being alive, but being able to direct attention to our future self mindfully provides us with the freedom to create our lives in ways that most resonate with who we wish to be.Leave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

Every day we awake to two versions of ourselves; the warrior and the resistance. Resistance is our fear, worry, self-doubt, lack of courage and imagination, and laziness. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how we can get through the messy part of our journey towards achieving our goals. Each of us, man or woman or child, has a warrior within us. It is fed every time we take risks, wake up to the sound of our alarm, and push for one more repetition in the gym or spend one more hour working. It grows every time we persist, every day we move forward, and every moment we hustle.Quantum Goal Setting: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/quantum-goal-setting-alan-lazarosLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

A magic penny is a penny that doubles in value each day for a month. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about this penny and what it means for you financially and life in general. While actual magical pennies don't exist, the concept is very common. This story illustrates nothing more than the power of compound effect that anyone can gain by investing their money continuously (and wisely) over their lifetime.The Magic Penny graph: https://bit.ly/3Uk6xpBLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

On its face, having an ego isn’t necessarily a bad thing. An ego is typically the byproduct of past successes that require overcoming great odds. But an unchecked ego can overpower and devour a person’s humility and willingness to learn, be challenged, and trust others.

In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about success and the one thing it can’t fix no matter how successful you become. We all have some form of an image we want to show others. Some people, though, tend to focus on that image rather than actually working on their authentic selves. In an effort to keep that image for everyone, we lose sight of what we’re supposed to work on about ourselves.Leave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

While we all agree it’s essential to learn and grow, all the knowledge in the world means nothing if you don’t act on it. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss the difference between knowing and taking action on what you know. We can all have so much knowledge. We gather information from people, history, stories, books, archives, social media, and google.

In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about why it’s essential to know your current limits. Often, people consider someone who doesn’t take risks as weak. But the truth is, they are the people who work on their weaknesses, adding to their strengths and breaking new limits over time.Leave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

We all want to follow our dreams. We’re so excited to move forward and take the first step but then quickly realize that it’s a process. The pressure starts to build as time passes, and then we start to question things. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about one thing that no one talks about in dream-chasing: the pressure that comes with it.  Many of us second-guess our dreams when faced with resistance along the way. We begin to wonder if we’re really doing what we should be doing. We begin to question if we’ve committed to something that we shouldn’t have. We ask ourselves if we’ve made a turn in the opposite direction from our true calling. We don’t realize that pressure and resistance are necessary for us to grow. Because without growth, you’ll never get to where you want to be.Leave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

All kinds of things make us happy: hitting goals at work, completing a project, relationships, and eating ice cream. Fulfillment, though, is different. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss the difference between happiness and fulfillment and how both can be different for each of us. Happiness comes when you are mindful of the present moment and connect with the people around you. Fulfillment is knowing you are giving your service to something in life more significant than yourself.The photo Alan referred to in today's episode: https://bit.ly/3wWBUfTLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

Let’s face it. If you’re looking for advice, you’ll find no shortage of it. No doubt you’ve also been given plenty of well-intentioned advice. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about why you should stop taking bad advice and how you can discern the good ones from the bad. Remember, advice isn’t a prescription; it’s an opinion, it’s just another point of view. Ultimately though, all decisions rest with you, and the greatest advice can come from within, from your intuition.

Some of us go through each day searching for our “why” – the purpose of our existence. Some stumble in their searches, while others make successful discoveries. In the week’s live podcast, hosts Kevin and Alan Lazaros discuss checking in on your purpose and why you should consistently do so. You might find that your purpose changes over time. You might want to pause what you’re doing and reflect on whether you feel like your path is taking you in the direction you want to go. Change course if you need to. Sometimes the road to finding your purpose has a few curves, forks, and stop lights.Leave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversity_______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

Disappointing others is bad enough, but the effect can be devastating when you let yourself down. And it can brew into a storm of self-doubt. It may feel like you failed, which takes you down a notch or two – or three. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss where you are letting yourself down. There’s a danger in lingering too long in the world of disbelief in yourself, as it can eat away at your sense of self-worth.

You need a reset; we all sometimes do. Maybe the work week was long, or you had to deal with stressful circumstances in your personal life. Life is hard; rest and relaxation are basic needs. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros share the importance of taking time to reset your focus today before you face another slew of life’s challenges tomorrow. There will be times you may need a reset, so get that alone time — even if it’s only a few minutes — and embrace your thoughts.

Communication is one of the biggest issues in any relationship. And perhaps one of the most crucial aspects of communication is how to give effective feedback about something that’s bothering you. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros share an easier way you can provide feedback and express your truth to anyone. Giving feedback to someone is a moment of trust – an opportunity to either build or erode trust in the relationship. If you deliver the feedback with competence and care, the level of trust in your relationship can leap forward. Fumble the opportunity, and you can expect to lose trust and confidence in your relationship._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

At this point in your journey to finding and living your purpose, you may start to notice that some folks don't understand what you're doing. It could be your family questioning your new path or your friends who haven't found their purpose criticizing your work. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss why not everyone will understand you and why it’s okay. There will be people who get behind your mission and wholeheartedly believe what you believe. Then there are people who aren't there yet. And maybe they'll get there, but they need to hear and learn and feel it from someone else.

Any good self-help book will tell you to be confident. Stand up straight, see past your critics, and believe in yourself. In this week’s live podcast, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about humility, confidence, and whether you can have one without the other. Humility does not imply low self-esteem. If positive affirmations often fake confidence about yourself, humility is not created through negative ones._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

“Trends are too weak to notice until they are too strong to stop.”In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros share a breakthrough thought regarding both success and failure. When the going gets tough, it’s sometimes hard to see the light at the end or even remember why you’re doing what you’re doing in the first place. This is when most people just give up and end up failing. Understand that while overnight success is not true—overnight failure does exist._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the one thing everyone needs in life but nobody wants: structure. They also share why it’s important to improve productivity. Establishing structure does not mean you need to plan every little detail in your life with no room for spontaneity. Implementing structure into your life is an ongoing process with many benefits. Finding the right structure for your unique life can take practice, revision, and flexibility, but the effort is worth it._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

You might have come across personal growth and wondered what it means. Personal growth is also called self-improvement and self-growth. But sometimes, not everyone will see or even acknowledge it even when we feel like we have achieved and grown so much. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about why not everybody can recognize your growth and why it’s okay. Not everyone can take seeing you grow, and not everyone can grow at the level you do. Some people will outgrow you, and some you will outgrow.

When things aren’t going quite how you’d like them to, it’s often the result of not asking yourself the right questions. Some questions are hard to confront because you’re afraid you won’t get the answer you want, others because you really don’t want to know the answer. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros share the two questions you should ask yourself that can change the way you think for the better. The best things in life don’t come easily, and turning away from life’s toughest questions is a sure path to mediocrity.

Most of the time, we’re surrounded by people we work with, family, friends, and romantic partners. These people have a tremendous impact on the way we think and live. That makes it worth pausing to ask yourself, Are these the people I want in my corner? Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the reasons why you need people who push, motivate, and inspire you to be a better version of yourself. Remember that while everyone in your life is there for a reason, you need to know whose influence to embrace and whose to resist._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

Sometimes it feels like we smack ourselves into a dead end right when we think we are moving at a good clip in life. We don’t know that these are not dead ends but redirection. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss why the roadblocks on our way aren’t always the end but new beginnings. The detour signs were often not placed on the road to deter us but help us reach our intended destination. And the reroute wasn’t a waste of time but an opportunity to visualize a bigger picture._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

The relationships between your mother, father, sister, or brother are the first relationships we learn to form in our lives. So it is not surprising that these can significantly impact us later in life and even determine how well we develop new connections in the future. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how much your family can influence you, whether in the way you talk, think, or believe. While you had no choice but to follow your family as a child, as an adult, you now have the means to decide whether or not to take whatever they say with a grain of salt._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of treating yourself sometimes.

Success is a climb. It’s a journey. It’s lifelong and built with undulating and unpredictable ups and downs. In this week’s live podcast, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about why we fail and struggle first before we can ever reach success. Many start their journey with pie-in-the-sky, smooth-road ideals, yet,  success is rarely, if ever, that type of journey. If you want to succeed, you must have the resilience to face the inevitable._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

Be a small fish in a big pond or a big fish in a small pond? Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss which is better and which you should strive to become between the two. Being a big fish in a small pond offers the advantage of being more influential in a relatively small peer group but with little room to grow. While being a small fish in a big pond means having lesser power or importance but more growth opportunities and an opportunity to learn from a more comprehensive network, it also means working doubly hard to survive within the ecosystem.

“Change is the only constant.” ~HeraclitusMental, emotional, or physical—all forms of pain is a catalyst for change. Sometimes, the pain is loud and demands our attention. Sometimes, pain is just an underlying, shameful hum in our daily lives. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros dive deep into whether pain or discomfort is a necessity for change or we just need permission to make the change. So much of the pain in our lives sits unresolved and avoided because it’s easier to numb and look away. But, if we acknowledge it and use it, we can turn those pains into remarkable progress._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

“Vulnerability is the core, the heart, the center, of meaningful human experiences.” – Brené BrownMany of us might associate vulnerability with feelings of fear, uncertainty, or shame. With vulnerability comes the possibility of rejection or failure, which can be scary. In this live podcast episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about vulnerability and why it takes courage to be vulnerable. Vulnerability is an inevitable part of life. Instead of trying to fight it, we can embrace it, knowing that it will make our lives more fulfilling in the long run._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

“Remember how far you’ve come, not how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be.” ~Rick WarrenWe’re always talking about how we should live in the now and “be present.” We often forget that looking at our past with love is possible, not ruminating on it but appreciating it. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros remind you not to get caught up on how far you still are from your goals and dreams but instead reflect on how far you’ve come from when you started your journey. It’s beautiful to be mindful of the present, but don’t forget to honor yourself, your past, and how far you’ve come.

When we feel like we’ve found something we want to accomplish, we often tell the people closest to us, but not everyone will believe we can do it. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros share why you should not expect everyone to believe in or understand you. It can hurt your ego or make you feel unsupported, mainly because they are people we trust, but maybe they just haven’t seen someone achieve such a high goal yet. It may not have anything to do with you or your abilities, so don’t take it personally._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

“The discomfort of not changing your behavior must be greater than the discomfort of changing your behavior.” - Alan L.In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about why people find it hard to reach their goals. Creating a goal is easy; it's what you do to get there that is hard. One part of it is changing your identity, but this makes many people uncomfortable that they just decide not to stick to the plan. So take time to think about this: Are you telling new stories about yourself when it comes to the behavior you need to do to reach your goals? Remember, your identity plays a massive role in whether or not you succeed in the long run._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

Fear of success is when you have an ongoing fear of succeeding, so much so that you might be inadvertently self-sabotaging. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about success and the possibility that people can be afraid of it. It’s not that you think you’re incapable of succeeding. It’s more about the fear of change that may come and whether you’re up for it. At first, fear of success doesn’t sound like much of a fear. But it’s very real and can hold you back in a big way._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

The comfort zone is a behavioral state within which a person operates in an anxiety-neutral condition, using a limited set of behaviors to deliver a steady level of performance. It is also the biggest obstacle for most people trying to achieve their goals. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about comfort zones and how often you should get out of yours. Stepping out of your comfort zone means you're moving into uncharted territory. Trying things you’ve never done before may mean you will fail, but you will also learn._______________________The best way to track your habits is here!

Your awareness will either make you change or block you from making changes. Some of us deflect that awareness by making a joke. In this episode, Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about a behavior everyone knows too well — making jokes to cover up something that hurts us.

We’re often told that the sky is the limit, and we’re encouraged to dream big… but how big is too big? Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about dreaming big and how it affects your level of self-worth. When your goals are too large, it’s easy to become discouraged when you don’t achieve the impossible. This is not to say that you cannot achieve great things because you can! It just might take longer than you expect, and the road might be bumpy on the road to success._______________________Any of these community or resources are FREE to join and consume:Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700 Next Level 5 To Thrive (free course) - ​​https://bit.ly/3xffverJoin the Next Level University Monthly Meetup #7 on Jul 7: How To Become The Healthiest Version Of Yourself https://bit.ly/3NVo1VyNext Level U Book Club - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-book-club/The best way to track your habits is here!

Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how to make it possible to chase your dreams with your partner.
