How much has your identity taken a beating? You know, from the…

Mistakes you've made…

Stories others have told about you...

Labels people have put on you since childhood ("he's quiet," "she's shy," "he's too short")...

What social media influencers say about people like you…

What your so-called fans and supporters say.

These ALL pose a threat to our identity - the very thing that influences our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. We all need to strengthen the wall around our identity. But how?

In today's 5 Minute Drill, I dig into the pillar of identity work that isn't being talked about enough. It's the pillar that, at the end of the day, is the one that holds up all the others…it's the one behind your ultimate clarity, confidence, and contribution to this world in whatever roles you play.

If you want to fully protect YOUR identity and have more clarity, confidence, and meaningful contribution in your life, then make sure to lock in to today's Drill.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Understanding the concept of identity and its pivotal role in determining your life's purpose.
• The importance of self-discovery and introspection in identifying your life's mission or calling.
• The symptoms and triggers of an identity crisis and how it impacts your life's purpose.
• How a solid understanding of your identity can pave the way for a purposeful life.
• The significance of recognizing the first point on the Diamond of Identity™.
• The detrimental effects of depending on others' opinions

If you want to be better positioned to live a life of significance, then make sure to lock in to today's Drill.

In this episode, you will hear:

• The importance of understanding and assigning value to each role you play in life and how to transition between them successfully.
• The three categories of transitions.

• The four-step exercise to help you identify your roles and responsibilities in those roles and map out when to play them.

I used to have a teacher in high school that always said, "Your team is only as fast as the slowest person." I modified that over the years to say, "You're only as strong as the weakest person in your inner circle."

So…who's in your inner circle? How confident are you in the team around you, especially when life gets hard?

In today's episode of Coming Up Clutch™️ with J.R., I summarize the Top 3 nuggets from Monday's interview with professional stuntman turned CEO and Chief Financial Strategist, Eric Roukey. We talked about protecting your life's greatest assets by putting the right people around you.
