Nick Krem Live

When I was more consumed with my ego…

I’d think posting pictures at my buddy’s parents places made me cool

I would go party on someone else’s boat on a Tuesday and post about it

The truth of it was when I was doing all that I wasn’t doing anything productive with my life

My ego clouded the truth that I was not accomplishing my goals

I’m continuing to grow and leaving my ego at the door has allowed me to enjoy MY mew view downtown Orlando with much more to come

got so uncomfortable when I got in this room…

I was in a room learning from arguably the most committed individual I know and I was super uncomfortable

I thought I was committed… but that day I saw what true commitment was

At first I told myself to at he had something I didn’t

But I knew that wasn’t true

So I started forcing myself to stay every weekday, every weekday to work towards my goals

It started with a lot of fomo and battling myself to stay in

I’ve been doing it for so long now something amazing happened

I went out last weekend for all of about 2 minutes….

I realized I wasn’t hitting my goals and went right back in and back to work

Now you can’t force me to go out and go away from my goals

What I learned is that commitment is a muscle… not a superpower to at some people have

The ones who choose to be just as committed and work their ass off on the “weekend”

I get excited over the things I believe I can do better than anyone else

I get more excited over the things anyone can do but I choose to be more committed to

Anyone can work their ass off on the weekend.. but who’s going to take the action and do it?

Let’s win the day

My mattress hit it and the whole thing went black

In the past this would have ruined my day, week and even talking about it now I wouldn’t be happy

Here’s one of the amazing things about being around the right people who challenge you to grow

Instead I’d being mad about something that I can’t fix…

I realized all I can do is carry on with my day and be more careful

Plus having a big TV doesn’t add any value in my life

Let’s #WinTheDay

Our last year together was no different… breaking multiple school records and getting to the sweet 16 for our state

The coolest part… all 5 starters averaged over 10 points

Especially in high school it was rare to have a complete team, well in public schools

But what I learned the most from it was the fact that we all knew our role

My role wasn’t to the main scorer, or to have the ball in my hands at all times

I could slash, get assists and defend with the beat of them

Getting into business i decided to follow the same path… stick to what I do best and have teammates fill in for their role

This makes communication easier because I know exactly who to reach out to

This also allows us to give too service because I can say confidently we have an expert working in that area of the business

What I learned from basketball… know your role and find others who know their role

I would always think how can I grow my business

What tactics should I implement to grow

What do I need to DO to grow my business

But what I learned from my mentors is this…

Who do I need to become for my business to grow

My business will only grow as big and great as I’m willing to grow as an individual

Instead of asking myself what do I need to do…

I ask myself who do I need to become

Freedom comes in many forms… and a lot of times it takes us stopping our fast paced live to realize it

I’ve learned to take moments out of my day and appreciate where I’m at and what I choose to surround myself with

A nice walk around the lake at sunset… right now there’s nothing better

See I may be business savvy and doing things most people don’t in business my age

And I hit milestones in business that get me excited

But for me getting my Costco card and getting healthy food feels like a big milestone for me

I guess to me it’s a signature of “growing up” to go do these things

My point of sharing this is simple…

This may not seem like a big deal for a lot of people but it doesn’t have to

Be proud of milestones and growth you hit for yourself even if it’s as simple as being a gold member at Costco

It’s not my gift of gab

It’s not my systems

It’s not my online presence

It’s the fact that I can speak with certainty

Since I test everything I do before rolling it out I’m certain of what it can do

My deep dives into myself as an individual give me certainty when I speak about mindset

Certainty in myself and my business gives me confidence

Certainty in where I want to go allow me to take massive action

Certainty is my most valued attribute

The question is what kind of legend do we want to be?

The one where we tell a crazy story for a week and it fades..

Or the one where we create a legacy to live on for generations to come

I can’t wait to get to work and visit new partners this weekend

What productive activity are you doing this weekend?
