Men, what is the key ingredient to changing yoru habits? Your Decisions!

Bad habits and making decisions that you know are not in your best interest and don't make the decisions that you know are in your best interest is chasm one most cross in order to establish more consistent habits.

We don't want what we pursue…we want the feeling & emotion of what we pursue gives us! Examples of this are :

• we don't want success…we want the emotion of accomplishment
• We don't want the relationship…we want how she can make me feel validated
• We don't want to get fit, we want the feeling of being value.

When we get our Hunger In Check, our HABITS WILL CHANGE.

When you do this you perform better!

One of the more important issues that many men struggle with, and something I've struggled with in my past, is being inconsistent in practicing our faith. How does this look? Well, this looks like not spending time with God…not reading the Word…not slowing down long enough to get clarity in our lives. This inconsistency of faith shows up in other areas of our lives in the form of less peace, more stress, greater distractions and being more susceptible to the temptations, including…Getting caught up in focusing on Women, Wealth, and Winning too much. Ultimately, as a result of our inconsistency…we stray away from him and stray away from peaceful and productivity. We end up frustrated at ourselves for cyclically straying away and feel too ashamed to return to relationship with him.

We end up thinking…"I really ought to be more consistent. Will this viscous cycle of going to God, and going away from God ever change?"

Listen brother…I get it. I've been there. For the longest, this was the story of my relationship with God. About the only thing that was consistent was just how inconsistent I was.

Here's a breakdown of how we think and what happens…

We definitely our faith and relationship with God is important enough to address and pay some level of attention to, but not important enough to prioritize.

We believe…

"I'm so busy…I don't have time to commit to developing my faith."

Therefore,

• Life gets busy…spiritual life gets edged out
• Next thing you know…you are feeling far from God
• Then we end up living in such a way that is opposite of the man we desire to be

As a result:

• Our faith becomes a part of life instead of the foundation our work and lives should reflect
• Relationship with God becomes convenient and comfortable instead of consistent

HOWEVER, here is what I've found…

1. Our relationship with God is not just A PART of our lives…but our lives fall APART without a consistent relationship with God.
2. Greater the Cost = Greater the consistency. What I mean is this. What matters the most to us is…guess what? US!!! We were born and have always been selfish. We eat, breath, and sleep thinking about us and our problems. God asks for the exact thing we care about the most…which is us. Once we pay up…once we pay with ourselves, we WITH NO DOUBT become more consistent in our relationship with God. I can prove it! I paid almost $200K to go to medical school. And guess what…I CONSISTENTLY SHOWED UP. When we pay a significant cost for something, we will consistently show up. God is asking us to yield our lives, ourselves to him. I get it's scary…but you have no idea the greatness that awaits on the other side of that cost! Better said…that investment of yourself to him!

Which leads me to the #1 reason why men struggle with consistency in their faith:

PRIDE!!

• We fail to see or accept, that we really ain't running things
• We fail to accept help around us
• We fail to follow something greater
• We fail to yield to God as the only one who sits on the throne of our lives

Since we believe these things…then our behavior reflects it.

When we know we don't know something…we are more willing to follow someone's lead. Think about it:

• When we lost, we ask for directions (at least I hope you do…lol) and yield to help from someone who knows more than us.
• When we need expert advice, like from a doctor or a lawyer, we again yield to someone who knows more than us

Not until (1) you willingly admit you can't do it on your own, OR (2) it hurts bad enough to ask for help, do we conclude that we need God.

That was my story. I tried to work on my actions…change my decisions…work harder…tried to focus more. It wasn't until I finally said…"God, I need your help, and I can't do life without you", that things changed!

So how can we be more consistent in our relationship with God.

1. Cost:
   1. We must pay the cost. We must INVEST in our relationship with God. We must continually invest more and more of ourselves. And as we do, we will experience more and more consistency. The greater the cost (aka investment), the greater the consistency. Therefore, we must yield.
2. Community:
   1. When we surround ourselves with other ELITE MEN…men who desire to walk with God and value the importance of prioritizing a relationship with him, then we can improve our consistency with God.
3. Chronicle:
   1. What I mean by 'Chronicle' is we must understand 'The story of God'. Read the Bible and understand it is NOT a religious book. It is a great instruction manual on how to be effective in life

So, question…Are you willing to yield?

I want you to imagine a life of being the man you've desired and dreamed of being. It awaits on the other side of investing in your relationship with God, by yielding.

3 Critical Mistakes That Prevent Men from Reaching Their Full Potential

Truth be told, one of my greatest fears is that I will not reach the potential that God me put on this earth for. That I won't complete my assignment. That I will fall short of what he's asked me to do. This has kept me up many of nights…A fear and deep concern of not fulfilling my potential while here on earth.

And for many men it's the same fear. However, it is a real thing that we are not currently fulfilling our potential. We are not showing up as the husband, father, business owner as we can be. We are allowing the '3 Killer S's' to destroy our life: Sex, Status, and Salary to destroy us. We are not optimizing our health, wealth, and have a distant relationship with God that is better described as convenient or have completely left him out of our work and lives. This causes us to feel frustrated, stuck and unfulfilled. We are left wondering, "Is this it?" "How did I succeed professionally but fall short in every other area of life?"

Listen though man…I've been there! I know exactly how you feel! There was a time in my life where I was successful, but stuck & unfulfilled. My life was burdened by painful & sinful decisions that, little did I know, was destroying my work and my life. Today I'll share how I went from successful yet stuck to mastery of work and life.

We often think…if I can only succeed at my goals, then I will be fulfilled.

• So we attack our goals with relentless pursuit
• And we do it at the cost of our faith, our family, our fitness and overall wellbeing
• And we become stuck! Stuck in our goals…Stuck in life.

…Ultimately living in fear of mediocrity. Living in fear of the constant cycle of staying stuck and wondering if we will ever advance past our demon of being stagnation: Being better than most, but not what we know we are capable of as men.

However, this is what I've discovered to be 3 critical mistakes we make that keep us stuck and failing to get to the next level in our work and life:

1. Isolation: We hide when we are struggling
   1. This is exactly what Adam did in the Bible. Made a mistake…led to shame…and then hid. We do the same thing.
   2. Solution: Community. Once I got around a community of like-minded men that were where I wanted to be in life…I began to get unstuck.
2. Ignorance: We fail to seek knowledge that can get us to the next level OR we look for knowledge in the wrong places
   1. We lack knowledge of Mindset
   2. We lack knowledge of Identity
   3. We lack knowledge of Purpose and Influence
   4. This knowledge is ALL in the greatest peak performance guide ever: The Bible
   5. Solution: Curriculum…Biblical knowledge. Once I did this, I began to have practical ways to tap into my potential as a man.
3. Inflation: Pride. The unwillingness to ask for help. Think we know it or can figure it out on our own
   1. This is the biggest killer!!
   2. Definition of inflation: a persistent, substantial rise in the general level of prices related to an increase in the volume of money and resulting in the loss of value of currency. Basically, the more inflation and pride we have the less value we provide as husbands, fathers, business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders!
   3. Solution: Coaching and Mentorship…ASK FOR HELP!!!! GET HELP!! This will accelerate your results!!
   4. Every area where I have eventually received help and coaching has had exponential growth in the shortest possible time. This is the secret to success…but really isn't a secret at all.

Action: Here is what I want you to do…choose 1 of the 3 above to work on. Either community, curriculum, or coaching. But remember, seeking help will ACCELERATE your results.

Imagine what it would be like to reach the level of performance in your work and life that you've dreamed of. Imagine fulfilling your potential…and having the income, impact, influence you've always imagined. Imagine becoming the ELITE MAN that you desire to be, that God made you to be, and that I know is inside of you! It's closer than you think…but you must give up isolation, ignorance, and inflation…and seek help!

"We seek the approval of other people at the demise of our soul…"

• Pastor Vincent Campbell

Ain't that the truth!!

Pastor Vincent Campbell is a BEAST when it comes to leading and mentoring men! I've had the privilege to see him speak live at multiple men's conferences and after hearing his personal story and the impact he's had on other men (including myself)…I HAD to interview him. He is the lead pastor at The Faith Center in Atlanta and an author, successful entrepreneur of multiple businesses, and national speaker.

In this interview we discuss why men prioritize our success in our career and business over our success in other areas of life (i.e. faith, family, health, etc.). He talks about the difference between 'success vs pseudosuccess' and how pseudosuccess is destroying our lives. He believes one of our problems is that we seek to be validated as men in all the wrong places.

We then talk about the tips and strategies that he believes we should apply to begin to live like ELITE MEN…by succeeding at work AND winning in life. He talks about the 3 H's men need to address in order for us to overcome the problems preventing us from being ELITE. We also discuss two (2) ways men can learn…either by (1) mistakes or (2) mentors. We both agreed that mentorship is a much better way to learn because it limits mistakes.

Enjoy!

A Key To Overcome Inconsistency

Have you ever known you are supposed to doing a certain action but you still don't do it? Have you ever been inconsistent at something…are aware of it…but still choose not to do it?

I understand. I've been there before…many of times. Too many to count.

Why is it important?

• Consistency is required for lasting results. Without consistency…we can kiss our results goodbye.

How it manifests

• It shows up in every aspect of life
  • Faith: Not spending time with God and the Word
  • Family & Relationships: Not spending time with family and wife
  • Health: Not working out
  • Wealth: Not saving money
  • Career: Not advancing in career or business

We often think this way to attempt to be more consistent…

• "I just need to work harder, focus more, and/or take it more serious"
• This turns into temporary motivation
• And ends up leading right back to where you started
• Now you become afraid to set a goal again because of fear of failure and lack of commitment and consistency

7 Reasons why we are inconsistent:

Why are we inconsistent? Why do we lack commitment?

1. We fail to understand the cost of inconsistency. It costs us more than we think by not being consistent.
2. The commitment to our goal doesn't cost us enough. The greater investment, the greater commitment.
3. We don't understand our identity, and our gifts and talents. We were not made as inconsistent beings. But we will be more consistent with tasks that employ our God-given gifts and talents.
4. Distraction: We allow ourselves to do things that don't optimize the efficiency of our time. We are typically consistent in things we enjoy doing or that bring us joy. And inconsistent toward things we are not excited about.
5. Lack of clarity on what we want. Lack of clarity leads to doing tasks that are not congruent with what we really want.
6. Low capacity: Our mindset doesn't allow us to operate at a higher capacity
7. Pride & Selfishness: Trying to do it all on our own

What I've found is that consistency and commitment has nothing to do with working harder. It has everything to do with investment and cost.

"Your Level of Commitment and Consistency toward a goal is equal to the level of Investment or Cost of Inconsistency"

The way to accelerate results is to get help. Period! This costs you your pride and selfishness because you have to be willing to do things their way. The reason why you are consistent is because you've been attempting to do it your way this whole time…that's why it's not working.

It doesn't matter the goal…Commitment & Consistency is equal to investment of acceleration or cost of inconsistency

1. Health: Money for personal trainer…or heartattack
2. Marriage: Counseling…or potential divorce
3. Career/Business: Money for leadership training…or fledgling business
4. Finances: Money for financial expert/education…lack of wealth
5. Faith: Costs you your pride and selfishness…or death

The reason investment works:

• We show up when we invest a lot of resources.
• We justify the cost when we invest. We look for the positive things in whatever we invest in.
• You cannot place a monetary gain on what happens from the investment

Things to do:

1. Pay someone
   1. Make the investment an uncomfortable investment toward yourself so that you show up. Similar to the way I showed up for medical school because it was an investment of $200,000. This level of investment created consistency and commitment on my part
2. Fast forward the end
   1. Think about all the consequences that will happen if you remain inconsistent. Play it forward. You can avoid those outcomes and lack of results by being consistent now.

God is proof and the perfect example of this idea. The reason he is so committed to us is because our salvation cost God the life of his son. Jesus is committed to us because our salvation cost him his life! Thank God!
