When you feel your losing control of your current situation, what do you say to re-center yourself?

A Mantra Statement is an extremely powerful phrase that helps us "get in the zone" and regain control when all feels lost.  

It's the difference between average and elite performers.

We all get kicked in the mouth by life and face challenges, but with the proper use of a Mantra Statement, you can become the one that thrives in the toughest of times when everyone else folds!

The credit card companies flash these great commercials about how we can have whatever we want whenever we want it just by swiping a piece of plastic.

They use slogans like "It's everywhere you want to be" and "Priceless" but that couldn't be a bigger line of bull shit.

We don't want to be in credit card debt - but they put us there

It's not priceless - The US is quickly approaching $14 trillion dollars in consumer debt.

It's a bull shit system that capitalizes on fake promises and deals that are too good to be true.

Self-Care is a term that is becoming more popular, but still isn't completely understood.

For many years, I thought self-care only involved working out and eating healthy.  

This mentality led me into some deep, dark places that I almost didn't climb out of.

Learning that Self-Care includes mental and emotional aspects has changed my life more than anything else I can recall.

In this episode, my friend Elyan who is a licensed mental health counselor joins me to talk more about the mental and emotional sides of Self-Care, and offers some practical tips to help us all be better.

Homeownership can be a great thing and a phenomenal tool to build wealth, as long as we know what's involved in the buying process long term up-keep.
