Collective Ambition with Leon Hendrix

Are you currently trying to find your path for the long-term? Maybe the business you’re in is not what you’re fully passionate about anymore and you realize there’s a different mountain you want to climb.

While a lot of us initially get into business based on an opportunity that presents itself or simply because we’re broke and we want to make money, what often happens is that our priorities in life change - that has been the case for me, which is why I sold my eCommerce business, and it’s also the case for many of my friends that are going through the same transition. 

Today’s guest is Wade Alters and we dive deep into what led him from being a world-class dating coach, teaching tens of thousands of guys all over the world, traveling the world and living the dream lifestyle to taking a leap of faith to quit, start his own ventures & find his path.

Now he’s an executive coach, copywriting genius & marketing consultant for high-profile influencers and today we’re going to discuss:

- His journey from dating coach do what he’s doing now

- Why you usually have to get worse first in order to get better long-term

- How to cast your vision & find your path

- How to overcome impatience & stay committed

- Why your 20s are the time to take your biggest risks

How many hours of actual work do you get in per day?

3-4 hours doesn't sound like a lot, and it isn't really, but considering that it is high-leverage tasks that require a lot of focus, it's often times all we can take for that day. The rest is often spend trying to get back into that flow, but simply lacking the ability to focus.

Beware - only if you're ready for some deep work on yourself, that deals with your biggest traumas, fears & insecurities, only then consider listening to this episode... 

It's not for everyone, but for those who are ready to go deep.

Radical Honesty has the power to change the entire planet if people are courageous enough to be honest with each other and most importantly, themselves.

How many things are you keeping trapped inside of you? Doubts, insecurities, fears, judgment?

This is a pretty uncomfortable episode to share so early on in my podcasting journey, but I believe it's a necessary step. 

Here I talk about:

- How I got started and built my first 7-figure business

- Why achieving all my goals was not the answer

- The realizations I had that made me question everything I had done up until that point

- Why it gets lonelier and lonelier as you're moving up and how to fix it

- Why I decided to break up with my girl which terminated my Australian visa and forced me to leave the country for good

Feedback is highly appreciated.

What is free, available to everyone and has the power to change the world?

The ability to ask great questions. 

Tony Robbins, Tim Ferriss, Patrick Grove and self-made billionaires like Jeff Hoffman or Ray Dalio all have one thing in common: They know how to ask incredibly powerful, specific questions which is a skill they have cultivated over many years. 

But why are questions so powerful? What makes them the superpower of the achiever who wants to make things happen but currently doesn't know how?

It's because questions guide our subconscious mind and changes instantly what we focus on. And whatever we focus on, we will find more of.

With this episode, I'm hoping to get you to understand how incredibly crucial this skill is, not just for your business, but for every area in your life. 

Here are some powerful questions to ask yourself, as discussed in this episode:

- What would I have to do to go 10x bigger?

- What would I do if I had no fear or limitation?

- What am I avoiding in my life?

- What is the most powerful question that I could ask?

- How am I being inauthentic?

- What can I be deeply grateful for?

- What would this look like if it were easy?

- If this fails, what will be the most likely causes of the failure?

- What if my core assumptions are wrong about this? What are they?

Resources & People mentioned:

How dare you work only 3-4 hours a day and say you're working hard!

In all honesty, people that say they work 10 hours a day are usually full of s***.

We had this discussion in a recent mastermind call and it dawned on us that everyone is pretending to be busy while spending 3-4 hours daily doing important work is a huge output.

And the ones that actually spend more time doing productive work are the ones that do something that doesn't feel like work for them.

We touched on different topics like:

- Deep work

- 80/20 rule

- Parkinson's law

- event time vs. clock time

- mastery

- digital minimalism

- journaling

These were the resources mentioned:

- Deep Work by Cal Newport

- Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport

- The One Thing by Gary Keller, Jay Papasan & Geoff Woods

- Mastery by Robert Greene

- The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss

- Elon Musk, Gary Vaynerchuk, Richard Branson, Tony Robbins

What are your experiences?

What's the different between struggling business owners and the ones that dominate everyone?

They simply play a bigger game.

The mindset they approach business with is completely different.

In this episode, Leon dives into how you can think like someone that is leading the market and let your competition fight for the small breadcrumbs while you get the biggest piece. 

You can see this in people like Jeff Bezos from Amazon, Elon Musk and Steve Jobs. 

Are you willing to step up your game?
