  • The One Percent Mindset

    You don't have to be a millionaire to think like one, you don't have to be a world champion athlete to think like one and you don't have to be a black belt in karate to think like one.

    Living with a one percent mindset costs nothing and the amazing thing is, you can have a one percent mindset as soon as you're ready. You don't have to wait for permission and you don't need any qualifications. You just need a positive can do attitude and the ability to think bigger.

    Here are my tips on how you can think and act like a one percenter every day of your life, but you need to understand something. It means you must take that leap of faith, believe in yourself and make a committed decision to give up the good for the great because you're running out of tomorrows. We all are. 

    Silence that inner critic and make shit happen.

  • Self Reliance

    Self reliance doesn't mean you don't need anybody. Self reliant people know that life is ending one minute at a time, they're running out of tomorrows and it's on them to make shit happen for themselves because no body cares. You're friends, family and colleagues are all too busy being the hero in their own story. 

    Every man should understand what it means to be self reliant.

    Its the path to freedom because you'll make shit happen, alone if you have to. You don't wait for permission or validation and you don't have time for fence sitters or people who don't know what they want.

    Self reliant people know what they want and they take a leap of faith and when they do, opportunities start presenting themselves, doors start opening and the right people start taking notice. 

    I did it, so can you.

  • Changing Your Paradigm

    Changing your paradigm is how you change yourself. By changing what you feed your subconscious mind, you ending up changing the way you think, the way you act and as a result, your direction in life.

    Your paradigm is like a mindset or a way of thinking. The problem is, we are given a paradigm by the people who raised us, our friends, our teachers at school and even our colleagues and employers later in life. It's not an easy thing to change and you can only do it by being consistent with it and engaging in positive self talk.

    What ever level you think you're playing at, changing your paradigm can change everything and steer you in a different direction.

    What you feed your subconscious mind is how you change your way of thinking and your daily habits and that's how you change your life.

  • The System Isn't Built for Big Thinkers

    The system isn't built for open minded people with big dreams.

    When you think, act, walk and talk differently, you become an outlaw to society. When you have high expectations, big dreams and want more out of life than just an average existence, you're an outcast because you don't think like ninety nine percent of society. You dare to dream and you dare to take action. 

    The system doesn't know how to handle people who don't fit in because they think for themselves and want freedom over security.

    If you're one of the one percenters that think differently, then this podcast is for you. You're not alone.

    Keep on playing the long game. Your time is coming.

  • Learn Through Trial and Error

    People who learn through trial and error are the types of people who play the long game.

    Educate yourself on the path by learning through trial and error so that you have some idea about the subject you're going to employ people to help you with. Do your due diligence so you can protect yourself from the fakes and the frauds waiting on every corner. 

    Learning through trial and error is not so much about gaining knowledge, sometimes it's about what you eliminate and by that I mean you know what doesn't work for you on your journey.

    Don't wait around around for people to help you. People are too busy being the hero on their own journey. Educate yourself on your path. In five to seven years, you will have experience that money could never buy.

  • Silence Your Inner Critic
    Silence your inner critic.
     
    You know, the one society has conditioned you to listen to.
    The one that tells you to stop being stupid, you’re wasting your time, that’ll never work, stop being selfish, live life through other people’s expectations and make everyone happy, save your money, don’t take risks, get a real job and you can’t do that! It takes the same amount of energy to think positive and silence the inner critic as it does to listen to uninspired quitters.
    One takes courage which is what a lot of people struggle with.
     
    Martial arts, business, sport and life, the principles are the same.
    Silence your inner critic and you’ll start living your best life being your best self.

  • You're Running Out of Tomorrows

    When you have taken ownership and you understand that you're running out of tomorrows, your life will take a different path.

    I get it. We all get a little lazy and put things off until tomorrow, but tomorrow becomes next week and then next month. You're not getting it and nothing changes. You're wasting time. 

    When the realization sets in that nothing is guaranteed and you're running out of tomorrows, you'll do things with a sense of urgency. You'll stop being distracted and you'll focus on what really matters.

  • Taking Ownership

    If you want to start living your best life, you need to take ownership of the good, the bad and the ugly. It happened, you cannot change anything, so you may as well find the lesson and move on.

    Whether it's in your private life, your business or your relationships, taking ownership allows you to pick your self up,dust yourself off and move forward quickly. 

    You're running out of tomorrows. You don't have time to blame people for your mistakes, you had choices. You just made the wrong ones at the time. The good thing is it's up to you to realize this and keep moving forward relentlessly.

    If things happened to you that were out of your control, deal with it. It happened. Look at the bigger picture. You can control how you respond to what happened. Take your health and happiness and go live your best life inspiring other people around you to do the same.

  • It Ain't Wrong to be Strong
    Don't let anyone talk you out of your own hopes, dreams, goals and ambitions because they don't have the courage, drive or determination to pursue theirs.
    The world is full of naysayers, critics, negativity and average. When you want to rise to the top you have to push your way through because no one is going to give to you. In fact, in my experience, you'll face more opposition than help or support.
    In this episode I want you to understand that it ain't wrong to be strong, there's nothing wrong with living with a sense of urgency because you're running out of tomorrows.... we all are. I want you to be able to recognize the toxic friends for what they are, not what you wished they were. I want to help you understand that just because you have a sense of loyalty to them, sure, they may be childhood friends or even family, doesn't mean you can't remove them. It's not your loyalty in question, theirs is.  They're choosing to treat you like this and force your hand.
    The world owes you nothing and equally, you don't owe it. It's on you to make shit happen for yourself and equally it's on them to do the same.
    See people for who they are not what you wished they were. Save time and hurt in the long run by recognizing the warning signs early and don't be afraid to eliminate the dead wood to make room for people who motivate, energize and inspire you.

  • Abundance Thinking
