Start Today Podcast

People in today's society have gotten soft. Everything is at our fingertips. In some cases we don't have to lift a finger and our wish is our command.

What's worse is our culture has trained us to take the easy way out. The fact of the matter is, we won't see the change we want until we begin to better our mental toughness.

We all need to up our game when it comes to mental toughness. In this episode, we hit hard discussing why we should care about mental toughness and how to take our mental toughness to the next level.

Adversity is defined as difficulties and misfortune. Everyone can think of a time where you have gone through adversities.

The adversity we face today is not to stop us. The adversity we face today is there to test us. To make sure we are ready for what is to come next.

In this episode we have a very special treat. Chris dives into a story you have never heard before. Today, Chris takes us back to the beginning and explains how the success he has today is because of the adversities he faced in his past.

You have to have standards to raise your quality of life. Standards are important in work, in fitness, and at home.

Many of us may have high standards we want to hold ourselves to but we let those standards go at the first sign of difficulty. Standards are always there regardless of what happens in life. Unfortunately, when we stray from our standards we are straying from the person we want to become.

Join us as Chris gets straight to the point and challenges each of us on the topic of the standards we hold for ourselves.

Finding your purpose and passion in life is something on everyone's mind. Everyone asks the question, what do they want to do in life.

A lot of people feel they should already have a path to go down coming out of high school. Some are even attending college but still don't know their future plans. Many people apply for every job with no rhyme or reason. You get stuck doing something you have to do and not something you want to do. Studies today indicate that 80% percent of people are unhappy at their job. Worst of all, many people are doing nothing to pursue what they WANT to do.

It is time to stop settling. Join us, in this episode, as Chris and Rick dive into how you can stop settling in life and pursue what you want to do!

What separates the people who are consistently achieving their goals, moving forward and getting results from those who don't, is their commitment to the process, NOT the end result.

While the end result is important, success is NOT some kind of "event" with a finish line, expiration date or ceiling - and it's not something that can just be achieved or completed one day.

It's easy to get motivated or pumped up when thinking about the actual goal or outcome you're after!

The same can't be said about the daily practices and discipline that needs to be in play, firing at optimal levels to ultimately experience the result you're after.

In this short insightful episode, Chris shares with you some powerful mind hacks that he used to reprogram his brain to learn to love all the daily rituals that he used to hate, that allowed him to go from being a depressed insecure drug dealer with no purpose or future;

To a multi time Forbes featured entrepreneur, thought leader in the personal development space and millionaire! They helped him experience life changing results and they'll do the same for you as well!

The single most valuable LIFE skill we can develop is the art of COMMUNICATION.

Simply put, good communication is essential to a successful life, personally and professionally.

It also plays a huge roll, in separating the greats from the average...

In a 2016 study conducted by Linked in, communication topped the list of the most sought-after skills among employers!

Being great at communication can help you land that first job ahead of other more highly qualified candidates, get promoted faster, solve problems more effectively, step into a leadership roll and overall expedite career advancement.

In episode 21, Chris and Rick dive deep into the impact communication has on our lives and provide a blueprint on how to become a better communicator in all aspects of life!

Do you believe it's possible to live a positive life if 80% of the thoughts you have every day are negative?

Research has shown that of the up to 60,000 thoughts human beings have every day, 80% of them are negative and 95% are repetitive - meaning are the exact same as the day, weeks or years before!

It's not possible to have a positive life if 80% of what goes on in your head every day is negative.

But what if there was a glitch in the human neural network that over the course of time has evolved, manifested and became more ingrained in the human mind, that causes the average person to WRONGFULLY believe that hard is bad?

What if there was a way to fix this issue to where your brain learned to embrace, seek out and feel grateful toward all the things that currently scare the sh*t out of you because they're hard as hell & push your limitations!?

In Episode 20, Chris takes a "break" from his vacation in the Bahamas to share with you some of the most important information you will ever hear! He couldn't wait to record and release this and when you listen you'll understand why!

But...

A lot of people go through life chasing a dream of some kind, but in the back of their mind feel as if they're at a disadvantage because they "feel" they don't have a mentor telling them right from wrong, or don't know how to go about finding one.

The truth will come as a huge surprise for most of you...

In this short, but highly enlightening episode, Chris shares the shocking truth about mentors and the one thing that YOU can do right now to set yourself up to not only have one good mentor, but how to strategically have all of the best mentors in every area of life that you want to dominate in!

If someone told you there was something out there that if you did it, you would be happier, healthier, mentally stronger, wiser, smarter, more efficient and increase your earning potential, would you want to do it!?

Of course you would. Well, it's out there - and that "thing" is personal development.

Personal development is an often used, rarely explained term that is widely misunderstood and taken for granted. It is without question the MOST IMPORTANT WORK OF YOUR LIFE and could be more accurately described as a gift from the Gods that when used properly, helps you evolve into something so much more than what you are now.

When utilized as it is intended, it allows ordinary people to develop superhuman abilities, levels of consciousness and skills.

The issue is most simply do not do it consistently enough to experience the extraordinary power it possesses, or don't understand how powerful it is which prevents them from reaping its true benefits.

In episode 18, Chris breaks down the impact personal development makes on the 6 key areas needed to achieve mastery in life. He discusses why personal development is essential/mandatory for growth, the impact it's made on his life, how most people who think they're doing it actually are not, how to prioritize your personal development to GUARANTEE your success and how without it, it's impossible to go any further than where you are currently are in life.
