What is the single insight that most changed your life?

Last year I went to The United States to work with a client of mine.

This was a client I was working with for 4-years over skype and I also have ownership in his company but we decided to step it up and do in-person coaching.

It took a lot of sacrifice from his part to really let me in in his daily life.

To observe his moods, his behavior, and everything down to the last micro detail.

This created some incredible breakthroughs in his life but there was one insight that really stood out to him and me as his coach.

What was it?

You get what you put up with.

If you are not okay with making less than 6-figures, chances are you will make more than 6-figures.

If your relationship has to have a certain quality, depth and understanding, chances are you are gonna meet those standards.

If your standards are low chances are your experience will be also.

A lot of those big breakthroughs came from lifting those standards and just not being okay with anything that wasn’t up there anymore.

Being a demanding person.

Asking for too much makes people feel guilty but what’s too much?

Money is a concept we human beings happen to agree upon. It’s just numbers

So how much money is too much?

In a relationship, how much love is too much love?

Truth is you can’t ask for too much.

Because what is too much?

If you are happy and not fulfilled chances are you are on auto-pilot and have these pre-programmed low standards.

Write down your new standards and don’t settle for anything less than what you truly deserve.

In this video, you'll find out how to make others like you via self-amusement! 

How can you make people like you more? Do you ever wonder how to make people happy?

How can I be charismatic and confident?

You can’t give what you don’t have.

If you don’t like yourself you can’t make other people like you.

If you aren’t happy, people won’t be happy around you.

No amount of perfect eye-contact or body language will change that.

Self-amusement.

Do what makes you happy and by the law of state transference it will go on to the rest of the world.

The key to making people like you is to make yourself happy first.

Watch stuff that makes you smile, go to places that you love.

Fill your tank with good energy because it’s infectious.

When you are full of energy your charisma will skyrocket because you can’t help it.

Drop the trying and get into being happy.

I share with you how you can make a decision in your life that you won't regret later!

What can I do now that will change my life forever?

Take the leap.

Take a leap towards the thing that is calling you.

There is always something calling you.

It could be going to that new country, learning guitar, starting your business.

Whatever it is the only way to promise growth in your life is to move towards it.

Yes, it’s terrifying and scary.

You might get tight on cash, you might suck at guitar, you might fail in your business.

But the thing is your mind can only measure what it will lose.

Whenever something is scary and you can only list cons, that’s probably a good thing to move towards.

Your brain can’t fathom what it will gain because it isn’t trained to do so.

It’s evolved to keep us safe at the cost of being miserable.

Where is the fun in that? There is no growth living like that.

Only by taking massive steps towards your intuition you can change your life forever.

So, What’s the next move for you?

I share with you how you can change your life for the better by changing your behavior towards life.

The fastest way to change your life is through behavior not sitting there and thinking about who you want to become or what you want to achieve but to actually start taking some real action steps today that lead you towards the life you want to live.

New ideas are rarely going to come to someone who is not exposing themselves to new reference points, you need some new reference points and the way you create them is by taking some form of action. 

Something that you have never done before is really the measurement that you should be looking at.

Think about the things that you haven't tried yet, the things that you know will be good for you there kind of uncomfortable and scare you a little bit but you know it's the right thing to do. 

Sitting down and concentrating doing something different with your attention than what you have been doing previously is what will actually set you on a new trajectory. It will lead to a wildly different life and completely different results because it is what you are doing that is creating the outcome that you are getting.

If you don't take the time to work on yourself or have new experiences that take you out of your comfort-zone you are going to get yourself into a loop. 

The truth is you really don't have to "try" to change, to change your life.

I share with you secrets as to why you are not able to achieve your goals. Letting go of your neediness and insecurities so you can tap into the right frequency to receive what you want from life.

Should I work harder or enjoy life more?

Enjoy life to get what you want.

The idea of hard work creates insatiable desperation.

Because you have to hustle and become somebody and only then you will get what you want.

It’s false. And you are being fooled.

It’s way easier to have things be pulled towards you.

Tell me, don't things start working out when you are in a positive mood?

Doesn’t the sunshine a bit brighter and everything you want seems within reach?

Then, why not aim for it?

The feeling of lack never gets you anything because you are putting your dreams on a pedestal.

Oh I have to work 16 hours a day to make money online; not true

Oh, I can’t ask her out because I am not in the right mindset yet; doesn’t matter.

When will you see the pattern?

You are allowed to feel good and happy. You are allowed to enjoy.

It won’t make you any less worthy of your goal.

Instead, it will make it a lot easier to get what you want.

Now you don't have to stretch because you and your goals are on the same level.

Just start walking!

I give you advice as to how you can boost your self-esteem and feel more confident within yourself.

What causes low self-esteem?

Six main causes of low self-esteem.

It all comes down to somebody told you weren’t good enough. You believed that and now you repeat it over and over in your head.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s a loop and you need to cut it.

Here is a simple 3 step method.

Now you know what causes low self-esteem so you need to cut it out.

Minimize your social media time, don’t spend time around negative people.

Don’t consume any negative content.

Once you have eliminated the cause, let’s repair the damage.

Write down three things that you love about you.

It could be how you said thank you to someone helping you.

It could be how you are improving yourself by reading this.

Anything, small or big that makes you feel good about your self to write it down.

This one is going to be intimidating for some people.

Go up to the mirror. Look in one of your eyes.

Say I love you, repeat it over and over.

It might be cringy at first but once you get into it you will see how better you feel about yourself.

I share with you how you can improve your mental toughness and become mentally strong!

What are the key traits of mentally strong people?

If you have ever met a mentally strong person, then you already know that these people have certain traits of their personality that make them stand out from the rest.

Mental strength however is something you can improve, much like your physical strength. So learn these traits and you can go from being a psychological pushover to a mentally strong and leading personality.

1. Mentally strong people have so much confidence in their selves that they don’t care about others’ opinion.

It’s important to know that focusing on what other people say about you will consume time and energy that you could spend on yourself more beneficially.

Besides, don’t forget, they are also pretty busy living their own lives, so they probably don’t judge you as much as you think they do. In other words, if you want to become one of the mentally strong people that you look up to, you better stop micromanaging the impressions others around you and start focusing your attention on how you can be the best version of yourself.

2. A great trait that separates the (mentally) strong from the weak is that whenever a person is about to burst out, the former knows that the latter is probably the one who has the actual problem.

What this means, is that people who exercise their mentality don’t get caught up in arguments on the grounds that they know problems can never be solved that way. A mutual understanding can only be reached when both parties are working together and not against each other.

So next time someone overreacts or intensifies his/her behaviour out of the blue, don’t pay much attention.

3. Mentally strong people are not afraid of making mistakes.

Why is that, you ask? Because a mentally strong person can fail over and over AND OVER again and then get back on their feet and keep pushing because they know that success comes before work only in the dictionary.

4. Mentally strong people work on their mind.

Kind of obvious but we still need to mention it and talk it through. As mentioned above, mental strength can be exercised, just like physical strength. So while body builders push themselves over the limits till their body looks like an ancient Greek statue, mentally strong people work out as well. You want to know the best part? You can work out mentally too, it’s easy, it’s free and it’s definitely more fun than you think.

Read books, listen to audio books, go to seminars or webinars, take a course that will stretch your mind. Ideally, you can combine mind and body to live your life in harmony and at its full potential.

5. Finally, mentally strong people stand their ground.

They know what they believe in and for what reason and they don’t let anyone push them around with their opposite opinion. If you want to belong in the first group then you have to be calm and polite but also firm and stable. Hold to your beliefs and defend them no matter the pressure. Keep in mind that pressure creates diamonds, not losers!

I share with you how your mental story is ruining your life and how you can change it for the better!

What is a common mistake people make without realizing it?

They keep themselves stuck.

They keep themselves from what they want.

That house, car, relationship, they can have it all but they keep themselves stuck.

At least, unintentionally.

It all comes down to the stories you tell yourself.

What is one area you are stuck in? And

Why are you stuck?

The way you answered is what keeps you stuck.

“I am too messed up in the head, I can’t grow anymore”

“I can never get consistent, so I will never be successful”

“I am from the wrong background, I will never be rich.”

You let these stories wander in your mind without realizing the repercussions.

The reason you have been stuck is that you have bought into these stories.

Now you might say, “My situation is different, you don’t know”.

That just proved my point of how engraved these stories are in your mind.

The only way to get unstuck is to recraft these stories.

Turn these stories upside down so they work for you.

“I know I am messed up, accepting that is the first step to getting better”

“If I find what’s blocking me from being consistent, I can be successful”

“ I am from the wrong background maybe that’s a good thing as it will fuel my work-ethic”

Create your own narrations. Don’t let these measly stories have power over you.

You are so much greater than these stories :)

I share with you one of the biggest lies society has taught you!

Should I quit my job and follow my passion, or stick to my job and improve my performance? My manager extended my probation. I got an offer to teach one more subject and my friends started a startup. I teach on the weekends, as it is my passion.

A strong wolf was almost dead with hunger when he met a Pet dog who was passing by.

"Hey, Cousin," said the Dog. "I knew your irregular life will soon be the ruin of you. Why do you not work regularly as I do, and get your food regularly given to you?"

"I have no objection," said the Wolf

"I can arrange that for you," said the Dog; "I will introduce you to my master and you shall share my work."

So the wolf agreed and started walking with the dog.

On the way there the Wolf noticed that the hair on Dog's neck was very much worn out, so he asked him how that happened.

"It’s nothing," said the Dog. "That is only the place where the collar is put on at night to keep me chained up; it grates a bit, but you will soon get used to it."

“Is that all?" said the Wolf. "Then good-bye, Master Dog."

Now neither the Wolf nor the Dog is wrong.

It depends on you and what your standards are.

There is this beautiful side of society right now where people are working remotely, living on the road.

It’s an era of freelancers.

It doesn’t take a lot to start. Just take one of your paychecks and put it into a website.

Maybe a facebook page or a youtube channel.

Whatever it is for you, take the leap of faith.

Because if you don’t you will hate yourself for the rest of your life.

Nobody should deserve that.

Whatever you wanna try, try it.

Go all in just once in your life.

I share with you how you can develop self-discipline and to stop procrastinating.

What is the secret to self-discipline, i.e., is it an issue of predisposition or a function of the degree to which one works at it?

Let me tell you, it’s not predisposition. Discipline is learned.

Whether you will be disciplined depends on the kind of upbringing you had

If you weren’t taught the ways of discipline, don’t worry you can learn it now.

Most people won’t be able to develop self-discipline because they will overlook the first step.

STEP ONE: Decide Why. Decide on why you need to stop procrastinating. Why do you need self-discipline? If you’re not going after something big, being average and procrastinating will do just fine.

Most people QUIT. They quit because they have no real why and so will you unless there is a major reason why need to become self-disciplined and stop procrastinating.

If it’s just to please other people you won’t stick with. It has to have great meaning for you.

STEP TWO: Daily Habits. What are your goals, what do you want in your life? According to this, what is something that you can do every single day to take you one step closer? Just one step per day will add up massively over time.

And guess what? It builds a ton of discipline, very quickly. Because you’re committed to doing this activity on a daily basis, and never let it slide.

STEP THREE: Tracking & Reminders. You have to set up the environment to support you – and it could be as simple as putting a tick inside a calendar!

If you have a problem with procrastinating by (for example) watching Netflix, the easiest thing you can do is to quit the membership until you’ve started building up some discipline. 30-days is a good rule of thumb for most of us.

Then, after you’ve managed to stay consistent for 30 days, you can give yourself back the Netflix as a reward, and now you’ll just be using it for enjoyment rather than procrastinating. If you start putting things off again simply rinse and repeat!
