It's rare to find someone who recklessly pursues what they deserve, with a blatant disregard for the opinions of others. Most are plagued with worry, doubt and overthinking. This cannot be you and I. We must become more and more fearless in our approach. In this episode I break down this bloodline. 

I am no relationship Doctor, which is why whenever I struggle, I am always looking to find answers from people with expertise. I came across this author from a friend, and since then, his books have literally saved my marriage. Check out which author I am talking about, and which books he wrote, in today's #UpOnGame episode.

Persistence is to success what salt is to food...it's essential. Without it, you can almost guarantee failure. In this episode, I highlight a Jay-Z bar that shows the importance of Persistence and the mindset you need in order to keep going and bounce back like a champion. #BooksandBARS

Humans naturally default to extreme laziness....none of us are exempt. But the best find a way to fight this off, and replace it with an uncompromising focus on the right details...It's what I like to call "precision", and it is crucial. 

To be the level of "dominant" that you claim to want to be, it's going to require a level of control that most softies are not comfortable with. Listen as I break down what "Control" really means, and how you will implement this.

In an unpredictable world, it's a no-brainer to keep your most important files safe. Take it from a former firefighter, and get you a fireproof folder. #UpOnGame

In today's episode of Books & Bars, I break down John Eliot's book "Overachievement", and why you should focus less on goal-setting, and more on the BIG PICTURE. If you don't have a vision to begin with, I wish you the best of luck in this game. If you're having trouble finding your vision, that the first step we take in my Killer Instinct program.

It's so easy to quit...isn't it? And if you haven't quit yet, then you're most likely wallowing in a state of indecision, and anticipating failure. Now, your failure becomes a matter of "when" instead of "if". We have to move in the opposite direction. Machine-Like Persistence is an unwillingness to stop. We just keep going. 

While everyone else waits for the right time, deliberating over what must be done.....true competitors move with a sense of urgency, and create pressure before life does it for them. This quality is a prerequisite for getting to the top. 

We all come face-to-face with anxiety and stress, and most people turn to bad vices to comfort themselves... how do YOU handle it? I'm putting you #UpOnGame today with a healthy option for anyone out there with snacking habits like mine.

Today's Books & Bars episode is a spin on last year's "Victory Lap" takeover - 7 consecutive episodes breaking down Nipsey Hussle's "Victory Lap" album, uniquely combined into one episode, courtesy of our engineer, Brandon. Enjoy... #NipseyForever   Songs featured (in order): "Victory Lap" "Rap N" "Last Time That I Checc'd" "Dedication" "Hussle & Motivate" "Loaded Bases" "Real Big"

All the motivation and strategy in the world cannot help someone without discipline....this is the ability to follow through with what must be done, regardless of the pain or inconvenience. It's uncommon to most, which is why you will be so rare if you have this.

I'd like to take a moment to remember a legend who was taken from us last week... Nipsey Hussle. A true staple in the rap game, whose goals reached far beyond the realm of music. Nipsey was such a huge inspiration to me and my business, it's only right to share three lessons (among many) that I learned from him. #RIPNipseyHussle   Songs featured: "10 Toes", "Faith", "That's How I Knew"

Having low energy and a lack of motivation towards your goals is not a good sign, and is certainly not a standard for high performers….So we must find a way to keep and maintain a solid and persistent feeling of motivation and excitement towards what we want. In this episode, I show you how I do that, and it's super simple. #UpOnGame

In honour of Nipsey Hussle... our producer Brandon puts a spin on an episode we released last March. The featured track "Rap N" is explicit, but it's important to break down how Nipsey embodies the I'm Not You Philosophy. Take a listen. #RIPNIPSEY

You can be as motivated and purposeful as you want, but with no strategy to match, you're lost...Most people want to accomplish big dreams and goals, but move like they're playing checkers....this is a game of chess. You have to be calculated, and in this episode of the Killer Instinct Bloodline series, I break down this mindset.   Apply HERE: imnotyou.com/KI

Everyone wants to have that "Killer Instinct"....but what does this mean, and how do you know if you have it? Over the next 11 episodes, I will be breaking down what I call the Killer Instinct "Bloodline", which are the 11 qualities and traits that define the Killer Instinct mindset. My goal is to challenge you to embody these qualities, and work to build them with focus and intensity. This is how your results will change....through taking on a completely different mindset.   Sign up HERE: imnotyou.com/KI

Relationships are far complex, and what can make them even more stressful is not being on the same page with your mate/spouse. That's why you need to make a focused effort to get own the same page. But how? I break down my and my wife's "executive" meeting flow, and what we do each Saturday that leaves us connected, in control, and ready for our date night. Check it out. #UpOnGame

Young MA has about 10 quotable bars in every track. So in this episode, I pick apart her new freestyle and highlight the wisdom laced throughout. #BooksandBARS

If you feel poor, you cannot attract prosperity. Today’s throwback episode is based on a concept from the book, “The Law of Attraction” by Esther and Jerry Hicks. The way you feel will dictate how you think. The way you think will reflect your level of motivation to reach your goals. Hard work isn’t enough nowadays... Change your perspective on what's real, and watch the window of opportunity expand. Let’s get it!
