I got news this week that my coach Ron had passed away.

To this day, he is the single most influential human being I have ever been around.

He taught me lessons 20+ years ago that I use every single day in my life.

And I am not the only one. This is pretty much the norm for every athlete who wrestled for him.

As I reflected on his life and what it meant to so many, it got me thinking about exactly what made him so special.

• Was it his infectious smile and personality? He could light up a room when he walked in it, but this isn't the main reason.
• Was it his unique techniques and training strategies? He was also really good here, but still not what made him so memorable.
• Was it his ability to get you prepared for competition? He was the best I ever had, but this is not what his athlete's mention most.

These all mattered, but there was one thing that made him stand out and will always make him memorable to the people who were around him.

I talk about it in this special podcast episode...

It seems like our world has become more and more chaotic over the past year with everything going on.

With the new wave of COVID, there has been a new escalation of drama that is hard to ignore.

This has caused more anxiety, frustration, overwhelm and exhaustion because of all the uncertainty.

But...what if it didn't have to be this way? What if you could take control of your response and bring a positive mindset every single day?

This episode outlines three powerful, life altering steps you can take to always find peace, calm and fulfillment no matter what is going on around you.

In today's frantic world, we find ourselves pulled in a thousand different directions. This has led so many people to feeling overwhelmed and uncertain where to go in their lives. I got to thinking this weekend and thought to myself, "it makes complete sense!" EVERY SINGLE DAY, we are literally bombarded with...

• Thousands of advertisements telling us how we are not enough and how to "fix" it...
• Non-stop news teaching us to be fearful and what's wrong in the world...
• A constant barrage of messages informing us how we should be living our lives...

It's no wonder we find ourselves feeling lost...we have a chaotic, broken model in our society. BUT...here's the cool thing: you can reject this model. This is literally no rule at all that says that you have to follow it. Instead, you can CHOOSE to carve out your own path + CREATE a life on your own terms that you truly LOVE. This podcast episode teaches you a POWERFUL process to start making this happen.

I was meeting with a member of my ETR Monthly Live coaching club recently and they told me, "I have fallen short on my new habit. It is disappointing because I went 15 days straight and then missed."

My immediate gut reaction was, "Yeah, so what?!?!"

Before you jump to any conclusions, let me clarify what I meant here. Everyone falls short. No big deal. Just hop back up and commit to your next 66-days. Keep showing up until you lock in your habit and close the gap on your goals.

The thing I have learned is that even the most effective people on the planet fall short from time to time when pursuing new habits and aspirations.

The thing that makes these high-level human beings unique is that they learn not to take it personally. Then they diminish their dwell time and get back to pursuing their desired outcomes in life.

This podcast episode outlines five steps you can take to flip the script on permanently falling short of expectations.

1. Get crystal clear on top 2-3 core habits
2. Create a productive environment
3. Determine "WHY" you will fight for it
4. Diminish your dwell time
5. Commit to "as many times as it takes" mentality
