Learn more about the Yuntai Mountain International Martial Arts School at https://www.shaolin-yuntai.com where for under $500 US a month you can learn martial arts and Chinese language 7-8 hours a day, 6 days a week in China, with room and 3 meals a day included.

In June of this year I was invited to join a Shaolin Kung Fu school on their two-week trip to visit the Shaolin Temple in the Henan province of China,. This temple is considered the birthplace of Shaolin Kung Fu 1,500 years ago.

Since I hadn’t studied Kung Fu before, I trained under a Tai Chi instructor along with other adults on our trip while my 12-year-old son and other students from the school in the US learned Kung Fu at the Yuntai Mountain International Culture and Martial Arts School.

Instructing them was Kung Fu Master, Yale Yuan, who goes by the name, Master Yuan.

While in China I was astounded how children as young as 5 begin their Kung Fu discipline of between 5-8 hours of Kung Fu, 6 days a week, while adults study Kung Fu 8 hours a day, 6 days a week.

When I say Kung Fu, most people in the west think of Bruce Lee and his martial arts. However, after our visit to the Kung Fu schools and learning under various instructors, I came to understand that Kung Fu is a way of life - encompassing the martial arts, but also philosophy, tea ceremony, calligraphy, language and other cultural elements.

As I awoke in the early morning, we could hear the instructors of schools in the distance instructing over public address speakers and the students shouting their response. Some schools in china, like the school at the Shaolin Temple, require students to be out on the field at 5:30 am and final training of the day in the training field ending around 10:30 PM. Rain or shine, 100 degree heat or 20 degree chill. Be on the line at attention for your Shifu (or instructor) or be reprimanded.

I know of no discipline like this in the United States. Perhaps in some elite military academies, but even that not for children.

These schools are Olympic focus on learning their art.

China is still a Communist country, closed off to the west in many ways. Fortunately, with the popularity of Virtual Private Networks or VPNs, I was able to connect with Master Yuan over Skype - a service normally blocked by what many call “The Great Fire Wall” - China’s government restriction of outside information and communication through not allowing the use of sites like Facebook, Instagram, Google, and others.

So, here is my conversation with Master Yuan. You’ll notice in the background occasional sounds of their almost 700 students shouting as they train. Toward the end, you may hear his young daughter chime in too. Interviewing someone IN China was a little more difficult than I first thought. And I’m so grateful to get this time with Master Yuan.

Let me tell you a little more about him.

Master Yale Yuan 袁雅乐 is Shifu at Yuntai Mountain International Culture and Martial Arts School. for more than 20 years he has trained full time with 15 years of training both Chinese and foreign students.

He is well known for his skill in different Kung Fu fist and weapon forms especially the Kung Fu fighting with pudao and spear.

He has participated in numerous competitions and has also has traveled throughout Europe both to perform and teach.

He won’t tell you himself, but as a child on the Shaolin Kung Fu performance team for...

Are you a business owner?

What if I defined it as Bradly Sugars, Action Coach International founder, defines it?

"A business is a profitable, commercial enterprise that works with or without you."

Is that true to you?

How do you get into a place where your business grows and profits even more without you being a part of the day to-day activities.

Could you run your business from a hospital bed? After my accident, this became a top priority for me.

Manifesting is Mathematics.

Cause and effect.

Input and output.

1 + 1 = 2

Take the magic out of it and the adult YOU is 100% in control of your destiny.

Everything in your life, your bank account, your car, your significant other, your kids or lack of kids is only because of your input.

Your life today is a symptom of your actions.

Sure, there are small outside forces, if you allow them in, but Donald Trump nor Barak Obama did not change your life. The distractions out there far outweigh the focus in YOU so, you let them influence you, they didn't directly influence you.

You are not a victim. If you believe you are, listen to this episode and perhaps you'll change your mind.... if you choose to.

Are you tired of riding the emotional roller coaster of the entrepreneurial life? Always reacting to others, situations or worse, assuming what is going on in the minds and hearts of others?

Whether it has to do with current or former spouses, partners, clients, customers or your team members, taking the solid approach can help you feel more at ease as you advance in your career, relationships and business.

Do you find yourself "helping" your clients a little too much? Going above and beyond to the point of it costing you a lot more time and sanity?

Are you allowing your clients' lack of planning to become your emergencies?

Chances are you haven't set the boundaries properly.

Unless people have enrolled in or have paid for your 24/7 access, you do not owe them an immediate​ response.

We need to reestablish our boundaries with them. They will go up to the line we set.

I've found that we can keep clients who aren't playing all in when we are desperate to keep them. Keeping them keeps us in that low-level energy and neediness.

If you can restate your boundaries with your clients, you may just regain your sanity and dignity for being a coach, mentor, trainer or even a parent that holds the line; the high standard and the boundaries of a professional.

Right now, if I go to your website, can I pay you?

Can you accept my credit card?

Do you take Venmo payments?

Can I pay you over the phone?

Can I pay you in person with my credit card?

Can I wire you the money?

Can I FedEx a check to you overnight?

Many entrepreneurs haven't taken the time to set up payment processing. A great place to start is with Paypal.com. Once you have that set up, create your PayPal.me account so anyone can pay you directly with a link. (did you know you can make the amount they pay open for them to determine or you can set the amount by doing something like this https://paypal.me/mjpeters/333 to populate the page with the fee of $333?)

Log on to your bank account and get the account and routing numbers for you to accept wire transfers.

What I am saying is that you need to be open to receive payments right now, 24/7 online on your website and wherever you go, make it easy for people to pay their preferred way.

Big oops everyone. Traveling and I clicked Save and not publish now! Anyway, here we are!

If you're going at it all alone still, you're wasting a heap of time. This simple exercise will help you get far more done, and focus on the things you enjoy.

Get yourself a piece of paper and draw a vertical line to bisect the page. Toward the top, cross it with a horizontal line.

On the Top Left:
Things I do NOT Enjoy
Things I am NOT Good At

On the Top Right:
Things I DO Enjoy
Things I AM Good At

Go ahead and list all that you do and put them in one camp or the other. List the things you believe you SHOULD be completing too (facebook ads, livestreams, PODCAST, new graphics, daily memes, etc.).

Determine what actually NEEDS to be done and what you are doing now doesn't need to be done. The things that need to be done that you don't enjoy nor are you good at circle. You'll notice some of those things listed on the left side still need to be done by you (at least for now).

There's more details in the podcast so take a listen and complete this fun exercise that very well COULD just revolutionize your business.

We are living in a matrix. A matrix of rules, of beliefs, of other people’s strategies, dogma, laws, opinions, regulations, taxation, etc.

When you are set on becoming Preeminent, when you are pursuing mastery in something, you have to know when to paint inside the lines, when to paint outside the lines, when to re-draw the lines yourself, to realize that someone else drew those lines, and when to realize there are no lines.

Don’t believe what you were taught about your art, about your craft, about your profession; what do your senses tell you is right? What is the feedback you are getting from your clients and customers?

Many teachers are marketers. They’re salespeople of their philosophy. they do it to make a living and they get good at communicating it and it resonates with a lot of people, it’s accepted as truth and they get rewarded for it.

Know what truths out there apply to you and which ones don’t.

Some of those doors have no alarm on them, just a sign.

You’ve got to pave your own way, do your own thing, play by your rules and get really good at becoming YOU.

Promote you, draw your own lines, and don’t be afraid to test that emergency exit every now and then.

Your action step is to test a boundary. Test something that you’ve been told to be true and challenge it. Ask the question you were afraid to ask. Once you do and you find a new truth behind it, don’t be surprised if you begin to see your reality open up and reflect back to you even more opportunities available to you.
