So, if you are trapped in your fears, insecurities, and old belief patterns, those things are actually holding you back, imprisoning you. If you're struggling to wake up and face the challenges ahead despite your fears, then join me and listen to this episode.

 

"I know that your life is complex, you have a certain set of karmic debts or whatever you want to call it that you're going through whatever belief that you have that are probably a hell if you could be totally willing to do all this yet you're still handcuffed in with your hands tied behind your back fighting with your nose. But when you've been through enough shit in life, I think the only thing that you can do is peace a level of peace within yourself."

- Keith Kalfas

 

 

Why do you have to listen to today's episode?

 

1:41 - It will seem like you're totally over your head when you do counterintuitive things. Stop forcing yourself. This will not help you. What you need to do is step up.

2:42 - Your problems at work shouldn't disrupt your work. Don't rant, don't make your employees suffer because you have problems at home. Do your best to behave at work by sticking up for yourself and not talking when you are there.

5:18 - Everything you do in front of others has a tenfold effect on them. So if you accept disrespect from others or if you disrespect others, your employees and other people will no longer respect you.

7:04 - Your business is a mirror image of what's going on inside of your mind in emotions in real-time. If your business is in a constant state of emergency, so too will be your life as a whole.

10:26 - If you're a man in a primarily masculine relationship with a feminine woman. In your professional life, the relationship with your woman is the key to your teamwork. Hence, your relationship with your spouse is the relationship with your business.

 

 

Key Takeaways

"So you're not perfect, but you're set. They're the tracks. Now you're setting the railroad tracks that this is the definiteness of purpose. This is your path, and you know what it is. You can't stray from it. Sometimes you can't explain it to other people; they don't want to hear it doesn't matter. But you know, in your head, when you're doing these counterintuitive things, and the marine on these lists, and you're looking like a jackass out there, and you're giving your best shot that one day, it'll all come together. And then you'll be like, you just have to laugh."
