731: It’s You Against You: The Hardest 45 Hours of My Life - Coaching Q&A Ep. 20

My hands were zip tied behind my back. There was a bag over my head. And I was lying in the back of a pickup truck wondering what I had just signed up for. I thought I was going to learn how to build a fire, set up a shelter, and pick up a few survival skills. Instead, I ended up in the hardest 45 hours of my life. In this episode, I share the biggest lesson I took from the Commando Experience in Penticton: it’s you against you. Not you against the person doing more volume. Not you against the broker who looks like they have it easier. Not you against what you see on social media. You against you. In this episode, I cover: The Hardest 45 Hours of My Life - What happened when I signed up for a survival weekend and quickly realized it was not what I expected. Why Comparison Is Poison - Measuring yourself against other people usually leads to frustration, not better performance. What “You Against You” Really Means - The real question is whether you are showing up, making the calls, doing the follow-up, and giving your best effort. Why Everyone Has a Different Starting Point - You do not know someone else’s life, schedule, responsibilities, or pressure. How to Move On Faster - Even top producers lose deals. The key is feeling it, learning from it, and getting back to the next client. Use other people as inspiration, not as your measuring stick. The real win is getting better against your own standard and doing what you can control.
