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. In this episode, I show you how I do that, and it's super simple.
