One of my favorite quotes from Robert Greene says this..."When you're humble, you reap the wages of humility". Religion, sports and our parents give us a lot of mixed messages growing up, and the whole idea of being "humble" is certainly one of them. This mindset has shackled up many dreams and goals....Is this you?

This mindset is very prevalent amongst the "entrepreneurs" of the world, especially the ones with very little results. Hope this isn’t you...but if it is, I show you how to shift this mindset. Take a listen.  Time Stamps: (1:22) What mindsets are making you average? (4:48) The story behind this mindset (10:45) The “stingy” mindset (17:23) Have you been in this zone before? (18:08) “Overtraining” (20:36) Push yourself! (23:48) Reflect upon yourself. imnotyou.com/coaching

If you want to make progress and create success, sometimes it's smartest to study what NOT to do, so you can be aware of what's been causing you your frustrations. In this series, I am going to be walking you through the mindset of the weak and the average, and what keeps them there. If you hope to separate yourself from the masses, you have to think different. So the challenge for you is this: do you have the courage to find out what these mindsets and attitudes are, and then have the courage to admit you have been weak and need to change? Check out episode 1, where I break down the first deadly mindset....the "goal setting" mindset. There's a lot of these types running around Instagram. Take a listen. Time Stamps: (1:22) My method of recording (5:00) Honesty. (6:22) Fight the “gorilla” (8:56) What are the mindsets that are keeping you average, inconsistent, anxious, worried, etc. (11:00) “The goal setting mindset” (13:58) Don’t set goals without purpose.

Many days I go to sleep and wake up with a nagging feeling of "maybe I'm not doing enough....maybe I could do better". In this episode I break down how to handle this emotion.

Have you ever heard someone say "I just want to be happy"? Or maybe you have told yourself that you don't want something, because that is not going to make you "happy"?

Time Stamps (1:22) “What is your take on happiness?” Shoutout to Mark from KIV. (2:17) An inside look into one of my Killer Instinct groups.   imnotyou.com/KI

There are a lot of softies out there..... people afraid to go after a goal, preoccupied with the opinions of others, and too worried about how they appear to take a stand, and be a leader. For some of them there is no hope... but for a lot of them, they need a formula for how to transform themselves into a real killa... and by that I mean someone who knows how to be themselves, establish goals and turn them into reality, and repeat. The world needs more of these. Take a listen to hear my take. Time Stamps: (1:22) My brothers and I get into some heated debates… (3:52) The definition of a “KILLA” (5:50) We gotta be leaders.

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.
