I had the opportunity to have an amazing conversation with Kevin Miller at Kevin Miller today. From talking about SEO for Reputation Management sites, Kevin agreed to a quick interview.
He took the time to talk to me and answer some questions so I could get to know him better and hear more about the things that have helped shape his business success to date – let’s get stuck into it!
A Million Miles In A Thousand Years by Donald Miller, I’ve given away cases, it’s about living a better story and to me spoke much to the Man In The Arena perspective of living life and not being a spectator. Also given away many of Food Rules by Michael Pollan as it’s such a great primer for healthy eating. Books that have influenced my life…See You At The Top by Zig Ziglar, How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie and recently, Awareness by Anthony de Mello.
$100 is not enough… Actually, for $85 each I got my 15 and 16 year old boys, Garmin Forerunner 35 watches so they can track and be accountable to their sleep and exercise. For myself, a $20 Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint Foot Drop Orthotic Brace. I’ve been suffering from plantar fasciitis for over a year and this is keeping it at bay
Find the right music to lift my mood or inspire me. Or do a brain dump list to get everything out of my mind. But mostly, go for a trail run or mountain bike ride. That is most beneficial to me. Get in the remote woods alone and in my flow of physical exertion.
“You just have to want it more!” It rings false. You just need to want it authentically and you need to dig in and clarify your motives.
I’m not responsible for other’s feelings or behavior. I really suffer from a “God complex” in taking way too much responsibility for others, my family, consulting clients, employees…you name it. Learning to let that go and also realize, I’m not God or Superman. I’m not limitless, has helped.
Mountain bikes and running shoes and the investment to get away and just be me. Kevin. I love taking off on my own and being an individual. A long morning of thinking, pondering, and writing about what matters. Then long runs and rides in epic Rocky Mountain destinations. Then an excellent meal and maybe an inspiring movie. Time alone refuels me like nothing else.
In this life, will you be a participant or just a spectator? Our world is ebbing away from doing real life and meaningful pursuits and trading it for a shallow, voyeuristic existence. And existent that is not…true life.
Except for short times of survival, never work at something you don’t care about. Whatever product or service is being provided, make sure you give a crap about it, beyond the job and pay.
A good friend of mine (now) used to be my boss. He fired me. At the time? Terrible. In hindsight? It was the best thing that ever happened to me. It made me realize that being self-employed and then an entrepreneur was the path for me. No looking back. I couldn’t love him more for firing me 🙂
Audit what you think you want by getting crystal clear on your motives for wanting it. So few youths or people in general, ever truly consider what they want, but even if they do, they don’t go deeper into their reasons for wanting it that will reveal what they truly want for themselves as opposed to things they think they want but are expectations derived from other sources.
I want to grow and become better every day, and it’s what I most want for others. I have three podcasts where this is the sole focus, the Motive podcast, True Life podcast, and The Ziglar Show. I’m laser-focused on root cause issues of human behavior and motivation.
My kids have grown so much needed patience and grace in me that I was sorely lacking.
Author Charles Martin. His skill and insight into human emotions and relations that he puts into his novels just amazes me.
I just turned 50 and have a book deal and book in the works. I wonder if I would have been better served to pursue traditional writing as my main profession, from a much earlier age.
I really don’t know.
I don’t believe there are any hacks. But a primary value is just personal fitness and wellness, as it fosters a better running mind.
Home. We do the holidays so fantastically.
Smile. If anyone makes eye contact with you, brighten up and shine at them. I’m an introvert and don’t even care to see other people, but if eyes meet…smile. It’s becoming a lost art.
Fourth or fifth grade in a bad school situation, I developed a strong disdain and resistance to authority that still runs strong today. But my upbringing fostered rebellion against the norm as well, so this vein is a bit overkill in me by nature.
I’m amazed at the range and character of Hugh Jackman.
Sunny Isles, Florida… I am a simple human being.
Learning more about the emotions and wiring created in kids who are adopted. I have two but I’m not very vocal about it publicly. Learning more about healthy attachment is significant for everyone.
Entertainment.
Finances, money, numbers. Really bad.
Little shake of chia and hemp seeds, coconut milk, collagen powder, frozen blueberries, and almond butter.
A adore music. Adore it. I listen almost all day long. But the glory is in a moment by moment eclectic journey, there is no song I want to hear even twice in a row.
