The School of Self-Mastery: Business, Money, Life

Tyler Basu is an author, digital publisher, and lifestyle entrepreneur and on today's episode we're getting the behind the scenes look on what it takes to be an entrepreneur. We talk about the side hustling, making the switch, what it really takes to write and publish books and how Tyler started his podcast a couple years too late.

Like many other entrepreneurs before him, Tyler's journey in business began when he read a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. Driven by his ambition, he spent his early twenties navigating his way through several different industries including financial planning, promoting seminars, direct sales, and selling real estate.

In 2013, while working full-time as a real estate agent, he launched his first podcast, Chatting With Champions. In the process of interviewing over 100 successful entrepreneurs for his podcast, he built the relationships and acquired the skills and knowledge necessary to begin building his own online business.By 2015, Tyler had written and published 4 books on Amazon, including the #1 Amazon bestseller Lifestyle Business Blueprint, and was regularly consulting for other entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs. In the summer of 2015, he made the decision to stop working as a real estate agent in order to devote himself entirely to the launch and growth of his latest venture: Lifestyle Business Magazine.

You need an alter ego and today's episode is all about why and how to create one of your own to pull out when you need it most.

Beyonce has Sasha Fierce.

Who is that? Her Alter-ego. You need one.

Beyonce has spoken about being able to embody this confident, sassy woman on stage that she doesn't think she is in her real life: Sasha Fierce.

Alter-egos allow their users freedom to express something they don't normally feel comfortable expressing. Embracing your alter ego can give you a fresh perspective and boost of confidence in your own body and psyche.

Don't have an alter-ego? Get one. Make her up. Draw him out. Let her come to you. However you find your alter-ego, find him.

Ready to tap into the potential you always knew you had?

Your highest potential that is...not some half-ass next level greatness.

Are you currently living as your best self? If you are, you might not need this podcast. But if not, why—what’s the holdup?

A few things that might be holding you back:

• Your Mindset - your thoughts and beliefs may be limiting your success

• Your Habits - your daily routines and rituals may be keeping you stuck

• Your Attitude - your perceptions and outlook on life and circumstances

This list could go on and on, but essentially, if you want to master your life, you must first master yourself.

It's time to overcome mediocrity and to reach our highest potential. Yet, everyday many of us are waking up and doing the same thing we did the day before. And our extraordinary life continues to stay a dream.

This School of Self-Mastery is about how to master yourself, so that you can continue to take your levels of success—in every area of your personal and professional life—to levels beyond what you’ve experienced before.

If you're like me, you get really excited by the idea of being world class, of being great at what you do, of living a very extraordinary, successful life. But you're frustrated because it seems to slip through your fingers. The problem, of course, is that YOU are the problem!

If you want to tap into your GREATEST potential, you need to start to actively growing yourself.

This means committing to self-mastery.

What is self-mastery? It's taking ownership of your results in life and using any and every means available to become the best that you can be. It's recognizing that to get to that world class level, you will have to develop exceptional, robust habits of success-– because all your results ultimately flow from YOU.

Mastery is...

• the demonstration of a great skill or technique

• thorough knowledge of a subject

• the ability to display great skill or achieve a significant accomplishment

• the action, skill or process demonstrated by a master.

Mastery spans and encompasses the areas of skill, knowledge, and taking action ... which is something we can all do in our own lives.

Far too often, it seems like mastery is reserved for others. That it is not easily obtainable and a goal few would aspire to, let alone reach. But self-mastery is at the heart of every human with the desire to attain it.

This is not just theorizing. Results, results, results are what I care about. Nothing fluffy here.

The fact is, if you're not satisfied with what you've accomplished so far, you need better habits, better beliefs, better thought-patterns, more emotional awareness, more knowledge, and new skills to bridge the gap.

The 5 pillars of self-mastery include:

1. Mindset
2. Finances
3. Physical Body/Health
4. Relationships
5. Purpose
