I had a lot of fun recording this, as I made sure to not hold anything back...You may have a difficult time hearing parts of it, but it's the truth as I see it. There are no "easy" steps to become the level of tough you need to be. It's difficult, and that's ok. But you must be aware of how to do it, and you need to be woken up. Today's the day - a valuable gift for the select few. Merry Christmas!

What did you get done in 2018? Are you only focused only on WINS? The real gold is in the pain, losses, and failures. And you must develop the habit of actively learning from the things you're going through. I went through a lot this year... Here are 7 lessons I learned the hard way in 2018.

This concept, which was introduced to me by Rory Vaden in his book (with the same title), has literally changed my life. I felt that I must put you up on game, especially for those entrepreneurs with lots of responsibility. #UpOnGame

We've all heard of "Think and Grow Rich" from Napoleon Hill...But you've probably never heard of his other classic, "Grow Rich with Peace of Mind", that he wrote when he was in his eighties... Check out the episode on the Sports Motivation Podcast.

At one point, J. Cole was a young rapper that no one heard of, who had some talent...but he knew something that others didn't, and rapped about it often... In this song, I break down his mindset and how I believe it has lead to his current success. #BooksandBARS

All the greatest athletes in the world have routines. Why do you think you should be any different? No more approaching training in a sloppy way; we have to be focused and purposeful. Over the next 2 episodes, I'll be breaking down HOW to do that. 

In the last day of Reality Boot Camp, I show you how to take all of the strategies we've learned and put it together into a daily plan. It's crucial for you to put these things into practice...to build the habit of facing reality and making moves in the direction of what you want. 

Day 7 of Reality Boot Camp and I lay out the blueprint for how to habitually change your thought patterns. It's simple but requires desire and repetition. Tomorrow, I am going to show you how to put it all together in a game plan.

Today I break down a powerful method for keeping a clear eye, focused on reality. It's the habit of "re-balancing" your emotions. Throughout an average day, several emotions will show up and cloud your judgement, and lead you to make reckless decisions. You have to be able to balance that out, and keep making moves... much like a "chef" while whipping up a four course meal.

When you see things clearly, then notice what you don't like and proceed to sit still.....you will get depressed. You have to be able to create a fluid game plan and strategy that will get you to where you want to go. You've got to be like a war general; be able to see the end game, while being smart and patient enough to craft effective strategies, to overcome any obstacle to win. In this episode, I break down how to develop and master this skill.

We love to idolize the greats, the talented superstars and athletes, as we imagine that they got good from being a demi-god. The reality is that they developed skill from practice. And as they practiced, they felt pain. And because they learned from this pain, they improved... fast. The skill today is the ability to learn from pain, as opposed to repeating mistakes due of ignorance, impatience, and hardheaded-ness. Take a listen. 

What you see on day to day is not always what you think it is.. it's just what you see, spiced up with your opinion. The skill I break down today is how to see things for what they are, before adding your spices (opinions) to it. When you can begin to do this, you become more able to control your responses and create better reactions to things that happen to you. 

This skill is crucial... If you want to be good at dealing with reality, you have to start with being able to openly and honestly talk about, and identify, what you don't want. Without this skill (you get worse with time), you will stay in delusion and trick yourself into mediocrity.Dont give into what they tell you about focusing only on what you want, you've got to first deal with what's true. And whats true for you is that there's a lot of things you don't like. Well, let's talk about it...I break down how to better do that in this specific strategy.
