Today I’m bringing to you the first 20 minutes of my Business Explosion Health Intensive. That’s right! The $7,000 weekend where business owners flew from all over the world to learn how I grew my business from zero to many millions in a very, very rapid phase.

I dove right in explained some real insights as to why I got into my business. By going behind the scenes you will get to discover the difference between truth and fiction. Live events I feel are where I’m most entertaining, most enjoyable to be around because you just can’t get the energy through just doing virtual training, face-to-face is just so much more effective!

So in this training you’re going to hear some of the stories that I don’t tell over webinars or other trainings. You’ll get to hear a little bit about my learning strategies and why having certain mental models is very, very important when endeavoring out to a new journey, whether it’s a new business, a new career or whatever it might be for you. There are certain things you will hit if you are trying to improve or get better at something. So I hope you enjoy this 21 minutes of power! Let me know what you think and make it an awesome day!

In this episode you are going to get to see behind the scenes of one of my close door masterminds where I teach a concept called "losing the friction". Losing the friction comes from accelerated results and the idea of making awesomeness happen in your life right now rather than waiting many, many years.

So in this episode we talk about the first component of it and why it is the bedrock of the rest of the components.  You’ve probably heard a little bit of it before but hopefully you’ll see why it’s slightly different and/or it’s still vital.

The second side of it, you’ll get to hear a little bit about what I do to lose friction in this exact concept. Number two is the misalignment and misalignment of core values purpose with actions and is something that I see with high performing people. These are not in the air like non-tangible things. So go through this, check it out, let me know what you think!
