Be Authentic Zone

Consistency is a battle I fight everyday. I win most of the time but sometimes I take some Ls. I used to be terrible at being consistent. In fact, I used to say that I was consistent and being inconsistent. I never got anything done and I never gained any traction with anything. Therefore, I was constantly frustrated with my progress.

It wasn’t until I decided to go in the opposite direction of all of my old bad habits. When I began reading books on successful people and saw what made them successful, I began to emulate the same traits. And THAT’S when things began to change for me and that’s when my life changed as well.

I never had the understanding of what I was capable of when I was young. I did what every kid did: Play with your friends, hang out with your friends, make sure you have good times with your friends. Do you see a theme here? Yes, friends are a great part of my life but I never went after what I wanted in life.

My mom tried to push me to do art in my college years but I wasn't driven and focused enough to know what to do next. I needed a mentor. Someone who could tell me what to do and how to do it and why the sense of urgency was necessary. I needed to hear this message everyday. It needed to be pounded into thin thick skull of mine at a young age.

I remember when my buddy’s dad told me and my friend something powerful when we were in our late 20s. He said, “if you guys dont stop messing around, you'll be 35 years old and married with two kids.” Sure enough, he was 100% right.

So here’s my message to the young Thundercats of this generation. I suggest you save this podcast if you’re between the ages of 18-24. I suggest you listen to this over and over and over again because I am the 40 year old version of you if you don’t get your act together right now. And trust me, 20 years goes by in a New York minute. Nine hours ago I was 30 years old with my first child.

Regret will catch up to you. Believe me. If you’re not going for what you want in life, you will end up questioning your decisions and why you’re doing what you’re doing. It’s called a Midlife Crisis. It happens to everyone.

There’s no set age for when this happens but it happens when you least expect it. You want no part of regret. It is painful. It hurts. It’s a reality check.

Don’t mess around with your time in life. Because regret will show its ugly face sooner than you’d like.

People often trap themselves by only committing to the things that they’re used to. This comes about because of fear. And this is completely normal. Fear traps many people but don’t you be one of them that allows this to happen to you.

It’s important for you to grow. It’s important for you to strive to be better in life and to hit the next level. It’s imperative that you seek new avenues to greatness.

If you don’t, you’ll forever remain stagnant and fear will forever paralyze you from your true greatness.

The entrepreneurial game has turned into a sideshow. More like show and tell. Remember when you were a kid and you’d come to school and show off the your coolest toy or the coolest thing you have. It was basically a One-Up Show.

That’s what the entrepreneurial game has turned into. It’s sexy to say that you’re an entrepreneur. It’s sexy to say that you’ve achieved this (fake) baller status.

But the authentic ones such as myself can separate the real from the fakes. It’s not hard at all. You want to know about what true entrepreneurialism is? Here you go. Listen carefully.

Too many times, people think they need to feel like doing something in order to make progress. That is a complete fallacy. In fact, 95% of your growth will come in the moments when you don’t feel like doing anything.

It’s the idea that you’re forcing your body to stay committed to the action as opposed to giving in to the way you feel about the action. When you do this, you are able to create muscle memory. And when you create consistency along with muscle memory, that’s when things begin to take flight.

Listen to Teflon Don Positive Mindset - 109: Do It When You Don’t Feel Like Doing It and save both of these episodes to remind you when you don’t feel like doing it.
