How many of you have been in the pursuit of a romantic relationship when, much to your surprise, you found yourself dumped in the "friend zone"? It's an awkward place to be, isn't it? Well this week on "Win Today," I want to find out how guys get sent to the friend zone, if they can ever get out, and what they can do to most effectively "pull the trigger" on a prospect. We're also going to talk about how guys and girls can better position themselves for successful romantic relationships and what each person can do to remain a contributor instead of a "taker" in the context of a relationship. In this episode, you'll discover... A lot of relationship confusion occurs when a lack of defining the relationship occurs. Clarity in communication is critical for success. Relationship requires risk. Guys, be willing to establish your feelings early-on. Certainly doing so is a risk, but the potential payout is worthwhile. Risk of rejection is intimidating to anyone involved in a relationship. The "friend zone" isn't a bad place to start; it's just a disappointing place to end when one party expects more from the relationship. Be willing to take regular "temperature checks," especially early-on. Where are your emotions and desires for the relationship at each step? You must be willing to slow-down and protect your heart and mind from going further in the relationship than it actually is. Vulnerability requires risk. Defining the relationship is best so that you and your potential significant other can move together with more intention or move apart with less emotional hurt. Thanks again for joining us this week. I'm really excited to continue our conversation with Derek, Katie, Jamal, and Carmen next week right here on Win Today. Listen, I want to hear more from you. So...I have a brand new call-in line in which I want to invite you to ask me a question about anything. I'll air your question on the show and do my best to answer it. Here's the number: ‪248-266-2945. That's ‪248-266-2945. Again, don't forget to join us next week for the continuation of this great conversation about relationships.

For a lot of people, the holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year. But what happens when your life is falling apart and spiraling out of control? Well that was the story of my guest today, my friend, Troy Murray, owner and artist at TYP Collection in Birmingham, Michigan. He has an incredible story of redemption and revival of his God-given purpose. His message: it's never too late. And that's what we're diving into today. Listen, there are consequences to the choices we make in life. You heard about that from Troy. But amidst that, it's never too late to make a positive change and redirect the trajectory of our life. Does that mean everything will quickly turnaround? No. But the opportunity for redemption is here right now. Today. Underneath the chaos is a God-breathed purpose for your life. Listen, we're finishing 2016 quickly. A brand new day, a new chapter is possible. My prayer for you is that you glean from Troy's story and make whatever change you need to step into your purpose. But like Troy said, the key isn't simply changing your mind. The key is the transformation of your heart. It's the only way to break limiting mindsets that are burying you in shame, guilt, and hopelessness. Troy said it best: "Take things a day at a time. You don't have to do everything at once. Be the best "you" you can be." Connect with Troy Please do yourself a favor and connect with Troy and his work at TYPcollection.com as well as on Facebook and Instagram. If you're in the Detroit area, get to downtown Birmingham and check his work out in person. You will not be disappointed. New on Win Today Thanks again for joining us this week.

Welcome back for part two of my conversation with my good friend and former national journalist, Kayla Brandon, in which we are tackling the issue of entitlement. Today, we're going to discuss the mindset and behavior shift we need to find freedom from entitlement, why we need relationship with the generation that has gone before us, and how to stay within our specific area of personal strength in order to stay free from distraction and focused upon our total betterment. In this episode... Why today's young adults haven't adequately learned how to deal with adversity and failure. Real love requires truth. Without truth, love is limp. But sometimes, the truth hurts. The statement "you can do/be anything you want" isn't beneficial. We all have limitations. And we all have areas of strength. They key in life is to discover and develop areas of convergence in our own life in order to maximize our overall output. We need to stop saying "I can't do this" and replace it with "I can deal with this situation to the best of my ability." The issue of entitlement is not a millennial issue; it's a society issue. When adversity hits, do you look to God as your provider or do you take matters into your own hands? Why you need daily disciplines to keep focused and motivated in everyday life. We need relationship with all generations. We millennials need to heed the wisdom of those who have gone before us so we can be a voice of wisdom, hope, and empowerment to those behind us. We would be making a grave mistake if we only listened to our voice. Narrow-mindedness would soon turn into closed-mindedness. Connect with Kayla Connect with Kayla on Twitter or Facebook.

Entitlement is an epidemic in our culture today. And I think it's paralyzing men and women like you and me from being the best for those who matter most in life. So here's where we're going today: I want to know what we need to do to mature, handle adversity, and live with integrity amidst a "me first" cultural trend. At the end of the day, we can't be our best "self" if we are self-focused and narrow-minded. And I can't think of a better person to discuss this matter with than my good friend and former national journalist, Kayla Brandon. Connect with Kayla on Twitter or Facebook.
