You've been working your tail off.....but the coach is still not showing love. You're starting to think this may be a conspiracy. "What does he have against me? This dude isn't even better than me!"   What most do is spiral out of control, and prove to the coach that the decision made was right because of your meltdown.   What I train you to do in this live call is to approach it differently, and approach it with a mindset and strategy that will make the decision to put you in the lineup a NO BRAINER.     (1:22) Blood sweat and tears... and no results?   (2:00) Don't let this situation get the best of you...   (3:38) Intro to a special clip from one of my LIVE coaching calls   (4:08) IMNOTYOU.COM/KI   (4:58) "Why am I not getting playing time?"   (5:49) The right mindset: "I'm responsible for my results"   (6:14) The right mindset: Most coaches value results over anything else.   (7:06) The right mindset: Don't blame the politics.   (8:27) The right mindset: I'm a baller, but I can improve... and no one can

Every once in awhile, a track comes along that has "books and bars" written all over it... Big Sean's "Overtime" is one of those tracks.   Listen as I break down the most potent (no doubt) powerful bars from his new track, and why one bar in particular hits me so hard personally.   #BARS   Song: "Overtime" Artist: Big Sean Album: Overtime - Single

One of the purest and most exclusive benefits of being a boss is having the ability to make moves, on your terms, when you want to....leverage.   If you don't have leverage, you have to work extra hard, with minimal room to move... That's why bosses like Nipsey and Ross speak on ownership and independence with such consistency and passion.   In this track, they both speak to what it means to be a true BOSS.   #BARS   Song: "Rich N Lifestyle" Artist: Rick Ross (featuring Nipsey Hussle & Teyana Taylor) Album: The Port of Miami 2

You're working hard, getting results...but still not seeing the "recognition" you deserve.   In this episode, I use the lyrics of Nicki Minaj and Lil Durk to show you how to keep the "Goat" confidence when the accolades aren't coming....because believe me, they will.   Song: "Slide Around" Artist: Chance the Rapper (featuring Nicki Minaj & Lil Durk) Album: The Big Day

Your vision sounds nice....but the problem is that you're starting from the bottom. You are still in the "zoo", and your dreams are in its infancy stages.   The key to making your dream a reality is having a plan. And for you, that may have to be an "escape" plan.   You have to find a way to build your vision, while you're still in an environment that feels like is holding you back.   It's tough, and that's why A$AP Rocky sends a shoutout to all of the jungle's lions. Listen as I break down this bar.   #BARS   Song: "Praise the Lord (Da Shine)" Artist: A$AP Rocky (featuring Skepta) Album: TESTING

When anyone asks me the question...."What's the most powerful book you've ever read?".. I always answer the same.   "The 50th Law" by Robert Greene & 50 Cent   This book changed the way that I think, and remains a powerful tool in my mental conditioning arsenal. In this episode, I break down a sequence that highlights the importance of mastery, and how to change your relationship with boredom.   IMNOTYOU.COM/KI

There's a lot of "truth" you hear on social media that is entirely misunderstood and can get you into a lot of trouble. Mainly, frustrated results and ineffective action.

Habits CAN be hard to create. But all of the impractical, vague advice we get about habits is usually to blame for that. So how do you actually create habits that stick and that last in any environment? Let me share my experience and advice.

Young M.A is one of my favorite rappers, and one of the reasons is because of her potent and dangerously-practical bars.   In this episode of #BooksandBars, she describes exactly what she did in order to get to the MONEY, and what you should do if you want to be and do more than what you were yesterday, and be a real heavy hitter.

You've been holding onto this "vision" for so long, yet you keep seeing the same results over and over. What's worse is that you seem to "know" you need to change, but you're taking no action.   In this episode, I show you how you can take that vision and make that into a real standard....how to make your current standard old news, and to keep growing.   I lay out the details in a how-to format, covering key points like... what to do when you come across obstacles, and the reality of what it looks like to actually create new standards in wealth, skill, health, and relationships.   (1:22) The balance of life   (2:37) Entrepreneurs and athletes   (3:50) Knowing your standards   (10:54) Ready for your step-by-step instructions?    (11:17) Vision to standard, Pt. 1: Identify what the new standard is.   (12:41) Vision to standard, Pt. 2: Identify your starting point/current reality.   (14:58) Vision to standard, Pt. 3: Implement and create a tracking-system.   (16:50) Vision to standard, Pt. 4: Create your own “

Now more than ever, there is an abundance of "aspiring" pro athletes and "Millionaire" business leaders. And it's getting harder and harder to tell who is for real and who is faking it all.   In this episode, I detail the signs that I have witnessed from athletes and entrepreneurs that show me that they are kidding themselves - and the closest thing they will get to a professional, is when they sit court side at a laker game.   Don't let this be you. The first step is awareness, so take notes, and listen at the end for your solution to this problem.   (1:22) Were you raised with high-standards?   (2:49) The football come-up   (6:12) "Pancakes"   (8:15) It's not easy to get to the pros   (10:22) I can easily spot the "pretenders"   (11:49) Signs of a phony, Pt. 1: You think you're really good.   (12:50) Signs of a phony, Pt. 2: You don't approach nutrition without deliberation.   (14:02) Signs of a phony, Pt. 3: Your problems are always external.   (15:10) Signs of a phony, Pt. 4: You have pro-goals, but hol

So you want to be "world class"....but what then? What if no one knows who you are?   In order to be at the top, especially in today's digital climate, you must be a master at marketing yourself. Business, sports, leadership....you must know how to position yourself as an expert, and someone that people should follow. In this episode I put you up on 2 of the most game changing books I have read on marketing that have lead to hundreds of thousands of dollars of profit.   "22 Immutable Laws of Marketing", and "Positioning", by Al Ries and Jack Trout

It's easy to be dependent...don't you sometimes wish you could be in the safety and warmth of your mother's bosom.....ahhhh, how safe...   This craving is why there are so many 'zombies' and 'minions' in the world. This CAN'T be you. You must be a part of the 2%, and in this episode of "Books and Bars" Big K.R.I.T. lays out the simplicity of this philosophy. And this track, "KRIT HERE" goes HARD. #BARS
