Morning Rituals: 66 Days To Success - Martin Leifeld

Paul is joined by returning guest, Martin Leifeld, one of the most successful fundraisers and thought leaders in the world, to discuss leadership, and how the first hours of the day can determine the day ahead of us. 

Martin talks about the ways in which he prepares himself to meet the challenges ahead and how focusing on his morning rituals has driven him to success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Our mood, temperament and mental agility are determined by how we begin each day. By focusing on positivity and productivity straight away, we set the compass of our day.
Journaling and reflection are empowering ways in which to focus our minds on our achievements, and by doing so, inspire us to achieve more.
Preparation creates certainty, and adds to a solid foundation for your day ahead. It helps to remove the doubts about where our time will lead us.
Leaders are not so because of their wealth or position. Leaders can be found at all levels of life, even in the home. We are all responsible for something.
Always remember that one day we will be living through our final moments. Will there be parts of your life you regret, but more importantly, what will you take pride in?

BEST MOMENTS

‘How we begin our day has everything to do with the kind of day we have’

’The fruit of preparation is peace’

‘We are all leaders’

‘Live your life with the end in mind'

 ABOUT THE GUEST

Asking someone to donate money is tough!

Martin Leifeld would sit in his car rehearsing his ask with sweaty palms, praying he wouldn’t get another rejection. Determined to master his craft he learned the power of embracing discomfort and through powerful human behaviour techniques was able to raise over $500 Million for three organisations!

Martin served as vice chancellor for university advancement at the University of Missouri–St. Louis for ten years.  While there, he led a dramatic increase in fundraising, averaging $26.4 million per year.  Prior to joining UMSL, Martin was associate vice president for university development at Saint Louis University, where he led his team raising $158 million in 3 years.

Raising money became his Number One passion and Martin has since been able to distill the art of fundraising into core fundamental principles and a clear formula that anyone can learn.

ABOUT THE HOST

One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules.  You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!”

Paul has a long and distinguished history of coaching & mentoring – particularly focusing on helping people make the transition from pain to purpose; a journey he has made himself, from the depths of a deep dark existence, to now living a life of happiness and prosperity.

Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising.

“Remember – Mastering The Game Of Life Starts, By Embracing Our Hearts!”
