Show Notes

Nature will tell you when it’s the end. When you get to the end of something that means to just increase the level and keep on doing it.
Everybody has an activity that energizes and fascinates them, but some people have built in barriers that prevent them from really pursuing what they find energizing.
All uniqueness comes from getting in touch with activities that fascinate you.
Selling is getting someone to intellectually engage with a future result that’s good for them and enable them to commit themselves to get that result.
The first sale a salesperson makes is to themselves in that they are a good salesperson.
The people capable of changing their future are flexible in how they look at their past.
Being able to make a shift towards something that gets you excited and away from activities that you’re not as interested in is one of the key indicators that you are capable of real growth.
You will have to let go of somethings in order to realize your uniqueness.
Having a childlike quality of playfulness, alertness to new things, being responsive to new information, and not treating the past like a straightjacket is a hint that you may be a Strategic Coach candidate.
Everyone has a purpose in life, even if it is to serve as a bad example.
Half my habits everyday are being on the lookout for things that are new, better, or different.
In order to have a bigger reality outside of your existence, you have to have a bigger reality inside your own existence.
Putting yourself into a different state is a useful tool for seeing the world differently and making the shift you need to make to see bigger.
Big cities are often worlds in themselves with constant change. That kind of environment can be a tremendous support to the entrepreneur’s mindset.
Make sure each day has evidence of growth, growth attracts growth.
Making money is often one of the most innocent activities a person could take part in.
Intense interval training is a path toward constant improvement. Your predominant thoughts about yourself will begin in your body. It’s very rare that someone can turn a negative life around without addressing their physical condition first.
Everything is impacted by moving your body.
If you have a lot of energy in your muscles you will have a lot of energy that will drive you to create a bigger future for yourself.
If you don’t take out the time to train your body now, you will take time out for it later.
If you think of all your activities as a circle, draw a circle around the activities that you find fascinating and start focusing your day on those things.
