Dropping Bombs

Rondi Lambeth has succeeded despite the odds. Growing up, he was forced to forage in dumpsters for food and navigate an emotionally unstable father.

How did Rondi overcome such harsh circumstances?

"First, you have to remember that there is no bad day," he says. "If you open up your eyes in the morning, you've got a chance to make it okay."

He says it's also important to not let whatever happened in your past dictate your future. With that mindset, it makes sense that Rondi started a business that perfects helping others overcome their difficult pasts as well: Fortress Credit Pro.

Tune in to episode 84 of Dropping Bombs to hear tips on developing optimism, guaranteeing your work, and building a credit score that reflects your future potential — not your difficult past.

That's fantastic for the few of us mortals who already get up at the crack of dawn, ready to attack the day. But, what about the rest of us who might be sitting around in sweatpants that might or might not have residual swipes of Dorito dust because the napkins were too far away?

According to Tim Grover, it's not too late. "Greatness is in all of us. But for most of us, that's where it stays."

According to Tim, it starts with controlling your emotions, fostering focus, and ignoring the negative thoughts that can weigh you down. When the greats are in the zone, they play with ONE emotion. Whether high-energy or calm and cool, it's the zone that works for them.
