Empowerment Season

I'm so grateful for people, man :) I posted a pic of me taking one of my patented 8-minute naps a week ago on social media and got a lot of kind reminders to take care of myself and make sure I sleep and eat well.

I appreciate the concern, but there comes a time in a budding entrepreneur's life where it's a HUSTLE SEASON. Where there's a window of opportunity and you gotta go as quickly as you can through it to try to create the most of what you have.

THIS IS MY TIME. Enjoy the listen and Tweet me if you're in a hustle season as well – would love to hear what you're up to @JuanVLopez

Talkin' Drake's new smash single, LeBron and Ronaldo joining new teams and what to do when you have a REALLY big decision to make...

I'm suuuuuuper geeked this week guys – my lil sis got her license on her first try! I was truly thankful to teach her how to drive and share a few lessons with her along the way.

Same lessons I'm bringing to yall for this week's podcast. Happy 4th of July! <3

A few themes that have been popping up in my life a lot lately is how people gradually slip into becoming a terrible version of themselves and how few people actually do what they say they're going to do.

Life changes when you can get a handle on these two things...especially the latter. Shoot me a Tweet @JuanVLopez and me know what you think.

A funny thing happens when you're clear on your purpose and are moving at 1000% speed in that direction - people judge you and try to make their happiness your happiness.

They criticize you for NOT doing the thing they think will bring you happiness. Their opinions of you are circulated around them thinking you're not leading a good life because they're not doing what they think should make you happy.

Really listen to this. If your life is dominated by the opinions of others, really listen and apply.

Some people are only able to perform under perfect circumstances. The perfect timing, the perfect day, the perfect weather …

But what do you do when it hits the fan? How do you react when nothing is going right? Are you motivated even when you’re behind in life?

That’s the meat of this week’s podcast, PLUS an #AskJuanLo question about Facebook ads & ecomm. Enjoy ;)

When starting a new goal or taking on a new journey, a lot of people focus on the work that needs to be done to get there. Great place to start, but I immediately zone in on what do you need to give up to get there.

What sacrifices have to be made to get to your new spot? A lot of people have goals but don't want to give up what they have in the short-term to create a better long-term.

You can't have both old and new. Something's gotta go.

You're gonna love this one...

You’re gonna make wrong decisions. You’re gonna suck. You’re gonna lose money. You’re gonna fail. You’re gonna analyze something fully and still make the wrong choice.

A lot of you out there want to do something new in life but are being held back from starting out of fear of making mistakes.

I get that you want to be cautious, but accept that you’re gonna screw up sometimes.

Make a decision AND THEN make it right. Speed and urgency will correct a lot of your slip ups.

A lot of people out there are stuck, not because our work ethic sucks or because we suck ... but because we aren't getting the opportunities we deserve.

It hurts me to see people in the same bad position year after year, simply because they aren't getting a shot to get to their next level.

In this podcast, we dig deep into how to hack that and get a shot to jump ahead.

A lot of personal happiness in life is dependent on what you do with the opportunities you have and your ability to create new ones.

Suuuuuuuper fire keynote I gave at the AAF Reno recently – you're gonna love it. We talked about the real challenges in the advertising space right now, the golden opportunity we have RIGHT NOW with the internet, excuses people make to not adapt, and a bunch of other good stuff.

I really went in on these folks. Great group, grateful to connect with them. Enjoy and let me know what you think ;)
