"If you want something bad enough, you find a way; if you don't, you find an excuse."  A pretty famous saying that I completely agree with.  However, I also believe there is something more to it.  Motivation is an important part of getting what you want.  You may want something really bad, but motivation ebbs and flows.  This is something you must recognize, understand, and adapt to when it happens. In this episode, I discuss this very concept and how to ensure that when your internal fire starts to dim, you have a way to reignite it!

I spoke in September about the 2 self's we all have.  Well, since then, I have done quite a bit of research into this topic and have learned a lot from the famous psychologist Carl Jung.  In his works, he talks a lot about the Persona and the Shadow.  The 2 sides we all have.  What I have found most interesting is the fact that the integration of the two is what makes man so powerful. In this episode, I talk about the shadow integration work I have been doing and why it is important to do the same.

It's Work Podcast - Episode 161 - The Shadow Self

Ask yourself a question:  are you playing to win OR are you playing not to lose?  I would venture to say you probably think you are playing to win but when you really analyze your actions, you are playing not to lose.  Doing so is the biggest detriment to the success of an entrepreneur.  If you want to succeed, you must start playing to win! In this episode, I discuss the journey I was on from living with a scarcity mentality to the shift to one of playing to win.   Check out my personal site:  https://www.roccocozza.com Need an awesome lawyer:  https://www.cozzalaw.com  Follow me on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/theroccocozza Watch my TEDx Talk:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFxj7MtGr9s
