The Power of Praxis, Part One: Personal Development
In this episode of The Genesis Frequency, we dive into the concept of Praxis — the integration of belief with behavior. Too many people say they believe one thing yet act in a way that contradicts it. This is the knowing–doing gap, and it keeps us stuck.
Drawing on insights from Bob Proctor, Napoleon Hill, Emerson, and others, we explore how Praxis closes that gap and brings your life into alignment. You’ll discover why Be → Do → Have is the right order of creation, and how misalignment between belief and behavior drains your energy, creates stress, and blocks results.
Through stories of health, finances, and relationships, you’ll see how everyday people shift their identity first, align their actions next, and finally experience the results they’ve longed for.
This episode focuses on personal development: your purpose, your career, your finances, your relationships. Next week, Part Two will take Praxis into leadership and organizational development. Don’t miss it.
Tune in now, and start closing your knowing–doing gap today.

Are You Putting Off Who You Really Want to Be?
In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the power—and the cost—of delay. If you’ve been putting off investing in yourself, whether personally or professionally, this episode is your wake-up call. I pose a crucial question: “How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be and what you really want to do and have?”
This episode isn’t about pressure—it’s about possibility. It’s about getting honest with yourself, reflecting on where you are, where you want to go, and what’s truly holding you back. Through a series of self-discovery questions, I challenge listeners to examine the excuses, the fears, and the missed opportunities that stand between them and their vision.
We also explore why companies often delay leadership development and how that hesitation can stunt growth, innovation, and culture. Whether you’re an individual longing for more or a business leader who knows your team is capable of greater things, this episode is your invitation to take the next step.
If something stirred in you as you listened, let’s talk. Reach out, and let’s explore your vision together—because the cost of waiting may be higher than you think.

Your Dominant Thoughts = Your Present Reality
If you don’t like what is showing up in your life, your business, your organization, and / or your corporation; I strongly recommend you listen to this episode and take action at once.
Most of us, on this positive path of personal, professional and leadership development, have heard it said in many different ways; our dominant thoughts create our reality.
In fact, the quote for today in my ‘My-Tyme Success Planner’ by Paul J. Meyer, the founder of Leadership Management International says this:
“You are where you are and what you are because of the thoughts that dominate your mind.”
And we read in James Allen’s book, As a Man Thinketh:
“As he / she thinks, so he / she is; as he / she continues to think, so he/ she remains. The outer conditions of a person’s life will always be found to be harmoniously related to their inner state. Men and women do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.”
So that clearly places the responsibility for the results that we experience on us. We have been conditioned to remain in the energy of the problem and the energy of the results we don’t like. We try to find solutions to move out of the hole by continuously focusing only on the hole.
There’s a better way. Understand how what is showing up in your life is directly related to your thoughts and you will have found the master key to experiencing all you desire to be, do and have; personally and professionally.
Listen in now and let’s get started together!

Achieving Whole Life Success and Prosperity
In this episode I revisit the total person concept and the holistic approach to whole life goal achievement. I offer a unique way to discern what is yours to do in six critical areas of life and living.
To experience whole life success and prosperity, personally and professionally, you have to first evaluate each of these specific areas of your life. You will need to pay close attention to any longing and discontent that you may be feeling, Often these feelings may be lingering just below the surface in one or more areas.
As I move through these areas in this episode, I offer something a little bit different. Rather than simply deciding what’s missing and setting a goal for its achievement, I invite you to consider ways you might contribute in each of these areas.
It is in giving that we receive which is also a key to success in servant leadership. In order to have you must consider how you are showing up, what are you ‘being’, how do you define the life you are leading and living in these areas?
It all starts with thought. Schedule some time to consider your thoughts around all of this. Write your thoughts down on paper. Engage your imagination and begin at once to deliberately design the next new and improved version of you. Your future self will be glad you did this now.

Why You Might Be Stuck – Part Two
This show is about helping you to make a quantum leap from where you are now to where you want to be; the realization of your greatest vision for your life, personally and professionally.
Of course the first step is getting started by deciding what it is you want by identifying your dreams and desires for you personally and / or your objectives professionally for your small business or on your corporate teams.
I have found that even this step is difficult for most people. They get stuck on the ‘how’? They get stuck by not giving themselves permission to dream big enough and the list goes on. Then even if they do decide on the one big dream goal they are going to pursue, there comes a few roadblocks where almost everyone gets stuck.
Here are a few of the stoppers we’ve explored in this episode and the previous one:
Paradigms – Beliefs – Expectation – Keeping Score – Consistency – Non-Action – Word Tracks – Attitude – Commitment – Emotional State – Awareness of Spiritual Energy and Presence
If you are aware of these stoppers at the beginning of your quest you can identify them when you are stuck then get to work on the solutions to move you along your way and into your quantum leap.
In this episode and the previous one, I help you to identify where you might be stuck. We’ll run through this list to help you observe if any of these things are getting in your way. Identifying what is stopping you is the first step in overcoming the obstacle.
Listen in and get out of that funk quickly whenever these stoppers show up that keep you stuck.
