Ep. 107 | Commit To Excellence and Master Your Craft with James Patrick

Mastering your craft, becoming the best in the world, and doing what you love. That's the dream, right? When I first moved to Arizona, I would see photography from the same person over and over. I'd see it on magazine covers, inside of training facilities and online —all by the same person. His name is James Patrick, and today he's on the Academy as we deep dive into how to find your purpose, deepen your calling, commit to being the best in the world and navigating the complexities of the entrepreneurial world. How choosing to be successful and changing your mindset can significantly affect your career Why achieving and celebrating milestones get you along the way How to get back on track when your business plans don't seem to work out Why choosing the right clients is essential in growing your business Why it is not counterintuitive to focus on your passions How a fallback is necessary when you are still growing your business Knowing the distinction between a hobby or a business How seeking permission is not needed to pursue your dreams. Why inspiration isn't necessary when pursuing your passions Why going rogue can be important in the creative process Overcoming the fear of known and working on what is known to achieve your goals How to take the leap if you still have doubts Understanding how the creative process works How to assess the financial and creative value, as well as the opportunity standpoint of each given project Growing and creating FITposium, a premier live event for fitness entrepreneurs ...and so much more with one of the best photographers in the game who we can all learn from. "Take what you need to do, do it with with passion, and focus." - James Patrick "If you don't seem to be getting closer to success, peel back the layers and reassess what you need to do. Not everything will work out, but you have to take the risk." - James Patrick THE 1% RULE IS OUT ON AUDIOBOOK!

Head here to grab your copy of The 1% Rule Now! http://a.co/6H8uWlH The 1% Rule was designed to answer three core questions: Why do some people seem to achieve massive success in everything they do, while others can't even get out of their own way? What separates those who get excited and inspired for a season, a quarter, a month or a week — and those who are consistently on fire? What are the core principles, mindsets, habits, and rituals of those who execute ruthlessly, and those who sit on the sidelines pondering? …through exploring these answers over the last decade the core principles, strategies and proven framework of The 1% Rule were born and are now yours today.
