I’m thrilled to hold the first copies of Hustlers & Seekers in my hands. And guess what? This book is designed to do the *one* thing I’ve never seen done in the world of personal growth, to help you merge both parts of yourself:  The ambitious dreamer, the relentless spirit who shows up and never takes “no” for an answer —going all in on themselves.  (We’ll use ‘Hustling’ to describe this energy.)  The insatiable seeker, the person on a quest for meaning, for inquiry, to know what this life is *really* about —and find the truth.  (We’ll use ‘Seeking’ to describe this energy.) In other words: You’re meant to be both. You’re meant to harness both. You’re meant to integrate both. 

Quick Hit #179: Hustlers & Seekers [Audiobook Chapter]

“You’re so disciplined, Tommy —if I had that, then I would launch the business, take the bold step, get in the best shape…” Oh, no...while I appreciate the triple scoop Hot Fudge sundae to my ego when you utter those words —here’s the truth: Discipline is *easy* when you’ve amplified your desire:  Where it becomes a no brainer. Where it becomes a daily habit. Where it becomes a non-negotiable.  In other words: When you want it badly enough. When you want it with every fiber of your being. When you want it more than you want to breathe. Then you’ll show up every single day —regardless of thoughts, feelings, moods, emotions and what Cardi B said on Twitter.

Questions. A mentor, Dr. John Demartini once told me —the quality of the questions you ask will determine the quality of our lives. But there’s a problem: when we run our lives on auto-pilot, we aren’t aware of the questions we’re asking. Which means we ask questions like:  How could I ever afford to do that? Why does this always happen to me? Why can’t I seem to be further along?  Instead, what if you flipped the above and asked:  How can I create more value? What’s the competitive advantage this gives me? Where can I truly celebrate the blessings I have today?  Enter my latest guest, Marc Champagne. Marc believes we’re all one question away from a completely different life. He’s studied the minds of people like Kobe Bryant, Maya Angelou, Naveen Jain, James Clear, Picasso, Stephen Hawking and created a book called Personal Socrates: Questions That Will Upgrade Your Life from Legends and World-Class Performers. In today's conversation, Marc Champagne and I dive into the power of "mental fitness", what wisdom really means, and how to ask better questions, to gain deeper insights, clarity —and well, results on a daily basis.

 You’re told to be ambitious, work your face off and complete a 7-step morning ritual before 9:30 AM —listening to Gary Vee as you pound Nitro Cold Brew. (We’ll call this ‘doing’, or Hustling.) You’re told to surrender, do the inner work, align your chakras as you meditate to binaural beats —with a backdrop of Abraham Hicks as you connect with source. (We’ll call this ‘being’, or Seeking.) So, what do you pick? Pick hustle and you’ll buy into the myth that one day you’ll get ‘there’ and arrive at the Oasis where all your problems will disappear. Pick seeking and you’ll buy into the myth that the inner work is all you need and one day you’ll be enlightened and pound tequila with Deepak. Quite a dilemma, wouldn’t you agree? The reality is:  We need to merge both. We need to connect both. We need to synergize both.  "If it stays as insight, it may as well be personal growth videogames." —Tommy Baker In today's Quick Hit, I'll share a small snippet from the book and dive into some of the core themes, topics, and insights —you won't want to miss!
