Have you been sabotaging yourself?

Do you understand why you are really doing it?

Chances are, the reason you are not living your dream is because of mental habits you have that you are not aware of. 

This is because the habits are happening not in your conscious mind. 

You would never consciously make yourself fail. 

All of your failure is happening subconsciously. 

It’s the stories you’ve been told over and over again that are sabotaging you. 

Let’s talk about how to overcome those stories today. 

The solution is easier than you think!

Are you making the same fatal mistake so many other entrepreneurs are making?

Every supremely successful person you've ever seen had a ton of help to get there. Everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Alexander the Great had people around them that helped them reach and exceed their potential. 

In fact, when Aristotle found Alexander the Great, he was essentially a whoremongering alcoholic (he died from what we now call alcoholism, by the way). But he also conquered the free world at the time. 

If these titans of success needed help, what makes you any different? 

I'll tell you what. 

You grew up in a society that is obsessed with self-reliance, self-care, self-help. There is no such thing in the world of success. 

The first thing they teach you as a soldier is the importance of having a battle buddy, a person you can count on to watch your back in every situation. 

Individuals die in resentment. Teams with a strong enough desire and focus win!

Do you believe you are a lazy person when it comes to certain areas of your life? Are you lazy about fitness? Are you lazy in your diet? Are you lazy in doing what you need to do to get your business off the ground?

I have a simple belief that may go against what you are thinking. I believe there are virtually no lazy people in the world who ponder their own laziness.

The truth, I believe, is much more complicated than you just being a lazy person who can't get started. 

Take a listen to Bryant and Myko as they work through the issue of laziness and discover why your problems are deeper than your own tendency to be lazy. 

The Matrix is arguably my favorite movie of all time. Like Dr. Bruce Lipton says, "The Matrix is not a movie, it's a documentary."

I agree with him. The movie was a brilliant way to disguise a discussion about the power of the mind into an ultra-violent action kung fu movie. 

I just watched the movie again recently and had an amazing discovery. Check it out.

A kid rides past me while I'm on my walk for the day. I can hear music coming from his backpack. This happens every day following this experience, but with a different kid. Clearly, we are seeing a trend. 

How can we take advantage of this trend and our knowledge of the past to create explosive growth in our businesses? That's what we are going to talk about today. 

Enjoy!

Citizens absolutely have a responsibility to be respectful of one another. Using hateful words to hurt or degrade others is a behavior reserved for cowards.

But, when someone does use words we may find hateful, where is our social responsibility to be mentally, emotionally, and spiritually stronger than the offense and the offender?

I believe we are living in a state of increasing fragility in the US. And until we take personal responsibility for how we feel, instead of blaming it on the actions or intents of others, that problem is only going to get bigger.

Are you aware of the wolf that wants to devour you? At the edge of what you call your village lurks a wolf. He seeks to devour all that you hold dear. Your joy. Your health. Your freedom. Your life. 

Unfortunately, most of us have conceded that the wolf will eventually win. That it will catch us and devour all that we care about. So our solution is to distract ourselves from the pain of this reality. 

A select few of us though, have decided to train our minds, bodies, and spirits, to take on the wolf. Some of us have even gone on to fight a slay the wolf in our lives. 

Similar to the movie The Matrix. We've taken on the mantle of Neo and are now seeking other villages where we can set people free from this living death. 

The only way to truly beat the wolf is to no longer deny your true desire to live. I know it's scary because you run the risk of losing what you care so deeply about. But the only way to attain it is to risk this loss. 

Just know, for those of you who would decide to tap into your true desires. For those who would no longer concede victory in exchange for the cheap distraction of entertainment. Just know that when you decide to live...We will be waiting at the gate...to help you fight your wolf and to inspire you to help others do the same. 

Once upon a time, I went to my YouTube Partner Manager to ask for some data on a specific type of YouTube creator that I wanted to make a product for. My goal was to make this product to help them get more attention and thus more money for their work. 

My YouTube partner manager wouldn't (in his words 'couldn't') give me the data.

Thankfully, Facebook Audience Insights allowed me to pull up the information in less than 2 minutes. 

In those 2 minutes, I was able to assess that the market I wanted to reach, was too small to sustain our business model. So we knew we could start with that smaller market, but that we'd eventually need to expand.
