About Your Host Jim Harshaw

My name is Jim Harshaw. And I know where you’re at. You’re working hard and qualified for what you do but you aren’t getting what you want. You have plans on getting to the C-suite or launching a business but ultimate success seems as far away today as ever. You’re at the right place because you can get there from here.

And I can help.

Who I Am

I’m a speaker, coach, and former Division I All-American wrestler that helps motivated former athletes to reach their full potential by getting clarity on what they really want and taking aggressive action to lead their ideal life not just despite their prior failures but because of them.

I’m a husband and father of four. And I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve launched multiple successful businesses as well as the obligatory failed one. I’ve been the executive director of a non-profit and have raised millions of dollars. I’ve worked in sales. I’ve even been a Division I head coach. While I was born in a blue-collar home I have spent my life surrounded by Olympians, CEO’s and millionaires.

Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

I’ve been lucky.

I’ve learned the habits of successful people and guess what. You’re just like them. I know because I know your type. You’re programmed for hard work, which is a prerequisite for success, but you’ve never been shown how to use what you know to create the life you want with the tools you have.

I will show you how.

Why You Are Here

You've worked hard to achieve greatness. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track.

You need to understand this: You are far more prepared to succeed than those who’ve not tried, competed, struggled and overcome like you have. That’s the value of your education as someone who aims high. You are prepared to be as successful as your wildest dreams will allow.

Here I will teach you, with the help of brilliant minds that have been shaped by failure, struggle, and adversity, to be who you want to be. I sense that you want this because you have read this far.

Can You Really Have It All? Yes. Here's How.

I grew up thinking that only other people could have it all.

Health, wealth, happiness and all of the good things in life that come with them.

In my youth, I believed that having it all was only for other kids and people.

As an adolescent, I believed that only others could have self-confidence.
As a wrestler, I believed only others could win the state championship.
As a young adult, I believed that only others could be wealthy.

There always seemed to be something missing from my life that others had. And I wanted it.

So I set out to chase it.

I started a company called Riot Sports Marketing. (Some of my readers will remember me from those days!)

This was my way out. This was my way to freedom. To wealth. To total happiness and fulfillment.

I sunk myself into my work. I closed off other areas of my life so that I could focus on getting "there."

For 2 1/2 years, I kept my head down and worked on that company. I put everything into it. I had an investor and so it wasn't just all I had but some of what others had too.

After years of toil, it failed. When I finally shutter the business and lifted my head, my life was a mess. That which I set out to attain was further away than ever.

My relationship with Ali was broken.
I was deep in debt.
I wasn't spending enough time with my amazing children.
And I was in the worst physical condition of my life.

My desire to chase what I wanted ironically took me the opposite direction.

My desire to chase what I thought would bring me happiness brought me only brokenness.

Trying to have it all took me in the wrong direction.

The problem wasn't that I wanted to find happiness and fulfillment.
The problem wasn't that I was trying to have it all.
The problem wasn't that I worked really, really hard at something that I was passionate about.

The problem was that I'd only worked in one area of my life. I had a single-minded focus.

When I was an All American college wrestler, that single-minded focus is what helped me achieve my goal. However, no longer could I afford to use the same strategy.

Somewhere deep inside, you know that you can't either. You know that you have too many things pulling at you. Too many priorities.

But what are the right ones?

Through research, testing and teaching, I've discovered the four areas of your life where you must focus your attention in order to have it all.

Here they are (in this order):

-Relationships: Whether you read it in the Bible or you read it in the results of Harvard's Grant Study, one of the longest longitudinal studies of adult life, the evidence is conclusive that relationships are the most important ingredient of happiness.
(podcast- refer to action plan for link to fascinating TED Talk about it)

Interestingly, in a couple of my recent mastermind calls with my Reveal Your Path Pro groups, nearly every one of the men identified a one-on-one interaction as their highest value activity, both at home and at work. Whether it was putting their kids to bed or meeting with clients, it is people that are most important to us both personally and professionally.

Simply put, if you want to have it all, you must have clearly defined relationship goals and an action plan to achieve them.

-Self: Nobody wants to be in a rut. Nobody wants to be stuck.

We all want to be growing.
We all want to be part of something bigger.
We all want to have fun.

That's why you must... you MUST... have goals around personal growth (learning a new skill), impact (volunteering or philanthropy) and/or fun (doing what you love to do).

Health: It's no secret that health and fitness are important pieces to being happy. Look at anyone who you think has it all. They live a healthy lifestyle.

Exercise and a proper diet improve brain function, focus, productivity, self-confidence as well as reduces stress, anxiety, and depression.

There's no magic bullet. There's no shiny object. Just eat right and exercise.

-Wealth: Everyone wants more money.

Truth is, if you're reading this, you're doing pretty well.

The median household income worldwide is $9,733.

First, recognize that you are wealthy. Stop looking around you. Stop comparing yourself to what you see on Facebook, TV or in your neighbor's driveway.

Second, if you want to accrue more wealth, you must have a plan to do so. There's nothing wrong with wanting more wealth so long as you don't have evil plans to take over the tri-state area (a joke for those with kids who watch Fineas and Ferb).

While there are four areas of your life here, they are all connected.

My point is, you can have it all. You can hit your sweet spot. You just have to define what it is, be grateful for what you currently have and continue to make progress toward what you want.

You must first discover your core values.
Second, you must align your goals with those values.
Third, you must create your Environment of Excellence.
Finally, you will need to have a systematic plan for following through on your goals.

What is Fake Success and How to Avoid It

Today I bring you, Dr. Isaiah Hankel. Long-time listeners will remember Isaiah from Episode #14. For those who need an introduction or a reintroduction, Isaiah is an internationally recognized speaker and author who helps individuals, teams, and organizations develop a more entrepreneurial mindset to accelerate their personal and business success.

Isaiah’s unique background allows him to offer a scientific approach and tangible methodology to the pursuit of purpose, focus and other entrepreneurial values. Isaiah has worked extensively as a Fortune 500 consultant and with some of the world’s leading corporations.

Long before getting his doctorate, Isaiah was a sheep farmer in rural Idaho who struggled in school and was diagnosed with ADD and ADHD. He survived college and barely made it into graduate school where he was quickly put on academic probation and forced to work as a janitor and sleep in a friend’s basement to make ends meet. Just a few years later, Isaiah formed three successful, multinational businesses and published his first book, Black Hole Focus. He’s back today to talk about his latest book, The Science of Intelligent Achievement: How Smart People Focus, Create and Grow Their Way to Success

A Story of Heartbreak, Tragedy, and Finding Your Purpose.

Today I bring you, Dr. Ben Williams. The principal at Ron Brown College Preparatory High School in Washington DC, Ben’s life has been anything but easy. At age 4, he and his younger brother, sons of a prostitute addicted to drugs, became wards of the state and entered the Nevada foster care system. At age 12 they were adopted and there was hope that their troubles were over. The reality was far from it. After just a couple of years, because of their father’s failing health, they found themselves living with their aunt. Ben’s brother Andre, struggling with behavior problems, found himself at a residential facility for troubled youth. In the ensuing years, Ben found his way successfully through high school and into one of the top public universities in the country, the University of Virginia. But just before Ben’s third year in college, Andre was killed by a drunk driver while crossing a road. Despite so many obstacles in his path, Ben received three degrees from the University of Virginia including his doctorate in education and administration.

Ben’s challenging road has positioned him well to take the lead of the all-boys college preparatory school that he now heads. What I want to explore and what I want you the listener to learn is how Ben faced adversity only to come out on top.

From dead on arrival to championship athlete.

In 2005, Dave was stabbed in the heart by a stranger. He arrived at the hospital dead only to be revived 7-minutes later. This was 2-months before heading into his senior year at Lafayette College, where he was captain of the football team.

When he woke up, he knew he had to move forward. Football and his teammates gave him a purpose and solidified his vision for healing. Dave and his team went on to win the Patriot League Championship that year. He is the recipient of the Eastern College Athletic Conference Award of Valor and the first recipient of the Lafayette College David Nelson Award of Valor.

Dave has an amazing story that we’re going to dive deeper into here. After Lafayette College, Dave has completed postgraduate education from Harvard Business School and is a Certified Life Coach. All of these chapters have led Dave to come at mindset and motivation with experience, not just knowledge, and through this deep exploration of mindset and human motivation, he brings the work he has done with people far and wide - in helping them create an authentic journey and mission in their lives or organizations. He has seen his work translate into authentic personal, professional and organizational success for people across the world.

Results from a listener who has taken action. Today I bring you Jared Kahmar. Jared is a husband, father, educator and coach. Married with three children. He’s currently the principal at ? School. He’s been an assistant principal, athletic director and coached wrestling and football. Jared is a regular guy in the sense that he’s not a celebrity. He doesn’t have a book or a business to promote (yet). He’s grinding it out like you and me, working to find balance and striving to succeed in the areas of his life that are most important to him. These are the reasons I wanted to bring Jared on. Sometimes we can’t relate to some of my guests who are billionaires or astronauts or have run 30 Ironmans in 30 days or guys like Tim Ferriss who has committed to coming on the show soon. We’re just trying to make it all work. My friendship with Jared started a couple years ago when he took me up on my offer of a free clarity call.

About Your Host Jim Harshaw

My name is Jim Harshaw. And I know where you’re at. You’re working hard and qualified for what you do but you aren’t getting what you want. You have plans on getting to the C-suite or launching a business but ultimate success seems as far away today as ever. You’re at the right place because you can get there from here.

And I can help.

Who I Am

I’m a speaker, coach, and former Division I All-American wrestler that helps motivated former athletes to reach their full potential by getting clarity on what they really want and taking aggressive action to lead their ideal life not just despite their prior failures but because of them.

I’m a husband and father of four. And I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve launched multiple successful businesses as well as the obligatory failed one. I’ve been the executive director of a non-profit and have raised millions of dollars. I’ve worked in sales. I’ve even been a Division I head coach. While I was born in a blue-collar home I have spent my life surrounded by Olympians, CEO’s and millionaires.

Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

I’ve been lucky.

I’ve learned the habits of successful people and guess what. You’re just like them. I know because I know your type. You’re programmed for hard work, which is a prerequisite for success, but you’ve never been shown how to use what you know to create the life you want with the tools you have.

I will show you how.

Why You Are Here

You've worked hard to achieve greatness. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track.

You need to understand this: You are far more prepared to succeed than those who’ve not tried, competed, struggled and overcome like you have. That’s the value of your education as someone who aims high. You are prepared to be as successful as your wildest dreams will allow.

Here I will teach you, with the help of brilliant minds that have been shaped by failure, struggle, and adversity, to be who you want to be. I sense that you want this because you have read this far.

Why following your passion doesn’t work. Today I bring you, Bill Burnett. After years of drawing cars and airplanes under his grandmother’s sewing machine, Bill went off to the Stanford and discovered that there were people in the world who did this kind of thing every day (without the sewing machine) and they were called designers.

Bill is the Executive Director of the Design Program at Stanford. He got his BS and MS in Product Design at Stanford and has worked professionally on a wide variety of projects ranging from the award-winning Apple PowerBooks to the original Star Wars action figures. He holds a number of mechanical and design patents, and design awards for a variety of products including the first “slate” computer.
