Success won't always do for you what you thought it would. Sometimes you will win, yet you'll feel more lost, depressed, and uncertain. How do you handle these emotions? What does this mean? How can we get ourselves to feel good, no matter the wins or losses? Listen into today's episode, where I break this down in a special feature from a Killer Instinct Q+A call.   Imnotyou.com/KI

You've boldly taken on so much...you're a leader, responsible for results, and a true lion in the jungle. You’ve given up the security so many crave so that you can be truly free...the problem is that right now, you are overwhelmed with the amount of things that are simply outside of your control. People, circumstances, changes...it makes you feel hopeless and helpless, and these feelings are leading you to turn to vices, procrastinate, and even shirk your responsibilities. Your challenge is giving up the childish need to control the wrong things, and instead focus on complete self mastery... the ultimate high and feeling of control that is elusive to so many. You must take real control, and condition these feelings until every cell of your body stands at attention to you... your body is a slave to your mind, and your mind becomes the fearless captain.   (0:00) Welcome to the G-Code (0:55) Introduction to "Control" (2:03) Hypnosis Track (6:45) "Control" Affirmation Track (13:18) Killer Instinct     Want to wo

In this episode I break down an excerpt from a classic book by Sun Tzu, "The Art of War". Too many of us try to go for the “Kill”, when we should be taking advantage of each win, particularly the easy wins. Doing this ensures momentum; and with momentum, we become unstoppable. #BARS

If you are living your life pursuing goals and working a job that you don’t want to, you are in the ZOO. This entire movement is about showing you how to life, full-time, in the Jungle.    The question becomes... How do I transition out of living in the zoo, to enter the jungle life? In what ways do I need to be prepared?   In this episode, I tell you exactly what you NEED to hear.   Time Stamps: (1:22) You may have missed some gems from the past... The only way around your fear, is through it (8:57) Are you hesitating to make that leap? (14:53) You DON'T know how much time you have left.

In our last installment of the COVID-19 Survival series, I talk about the importance of dealing and embracing fear, and channeling it into the right direction.    If you do not find a way to do this, your fear will either debilitate you now, or later. The choice is yours. We must be able to know how to deal with our animal nature, and channel it in the right place. I show how in this episode.   Stay tuned for a motivational track at the end. Stay safe out there fam.

In episode #4 of the Coronavirus survival series, I break down the most important pieces of your personal infrastructure that must be in place and stronger than ever, especially at a time like this.    Too many people do not take the time to invest in themselves at the right time, and then when they need it, they don’t have the space and mental clarity to do it. Now is the time.   Top 3 most important routines: AM Routine PM Routine Weekly Set-Up Routine

In episode #3 of the Coronavirus survival series, setting goals is the focus.    Without goals, you will remain distracted and scared. You must focus ahead. I show you an incredibly powerful tool for focus and clarity that will keep you ,moving forward with speed and momentum.   Clearly identify your goals with these 4 questions: 1. What is your vision? 2. What is your goal for the year? 3. What is the mist immediate milestone you must reach (to be on track for this goal)? 4. What are the 3 most important and relevant actions for this week?   Niyi's tips for you: 1. Share your goals with your people 2. Schedule recurring times for discussions 3.

In episode #2 of the Coronavirus survival series, I break down how to properly learn from the mistakes and inaccurate actions you've taken, to leave you exposed in a time like this. It is with this mindset and strategy that will allow you to not only evolve at a time like this, but to make constant evolution a way of life for you.   Reflective Questions: What pain(s) am I currently experiencing? What actions could I have done differently? When should I have begun doing them? What would I have valued more, in the past?   Time to Act: What am I going to do differently now? Have I thoroughly/properly learned from this?

In these most uncertain times, it is imperative that we rise above our animal nature and find and explore new ways to not just survive, but thrive and evolve. I will be breaking down, in very practical ways, how to come out of this global crisis even better.    In episode #1, I break down the importance of using times of crisis to expose what it is that you lack...otherwise, it wouldn't be a crisis. At least not for you.
