Mental toughness- overcome the doubts, fears, obstacles, etc. You need it; but how do we get it and how do we improve it? Today I’m back and breaking down the importance of mental toughness and how you can start improving it NOW.

Assume everyone’s knows something you don’t. Don’t be a know it all and start learning. Look, sometimes talking to certain people feels like a waste but don’t let it be, learn something from it. Now, for the people who do bring value and naturally teach you things, learn all you can! Whether it’s good or bad, all conversations and experiences can teach you something if you’re open to learning from them.

How do we measure success? Money? Fame? Impact? Is there really even a way to measure? I don’t think so. After careful thought I’ve came to realize success will never be measurable by anyone but the one person trying to measure their own success, even then it’s difficult. Bottom line, what success is to you isn’t always going to be success for someone else and vice versa.

Everyone will accomplish things at different points of their life. Never does that mean you’re too late or too early. Life has a funny way of making things happen at different points. So, next time you worry about where someone else is at in their journey, stop. Trust me, focus on your path and your time frame and progression will rapidly increase.

Too many people give up way too damn quick. Seriously, why is that? Maybe they see only the end goal and it seems so far. Well how about taking into account all the small wins and progress you’re making towards that end goal? Try that and you’ll be a lot more encourage to achieving what you want.

2020 is 3 months away people. Start whatever changes you want to see in 2020 now. Set yourself up to make 2020 your best year. Do things now to set yourself up to dominate and have that success you been looking for. Remember, the year will be here before you know it!

Our lives are filled with habits, most we aren’t even aware of. So, wouldn’t you want to make sure they were good habits? Too many times people think they can’t change a bad habit, or struggle with it. Well I’m here to tell you it won’t be easy, but you can fix them. Big shoutout to Rob Dial’s podcast for teaching me how important habits truly are.

In a world where negativity seems to be everywhere...stay strong to your core beliefs and be a good person. It can be hard sometimes, but stand your ground and stick to your values and you’ll be okay. No matter what field you’re in, being a good, strong person will greatly benefit you. You never know what others are going through and sometimes a simple act of kindness can go a long way.

I tried not to digress too much here but let’s talk about positive changes. Too many people fear change because it can be unknown, scary, etc. However, if we start making the changes ourselves we can learn to embrace them. It’s never easy to change, but it’s necessary to grow. We must become “comfortable being uncomfortable”

Too many times people say they want to start something and never do...well here’s something to help you actually start.

Obviously it’s the first podcast so bare with me. Also thank you for even considering giving it a listen. Tried my best to not make it too lengthy but still provide some value and tips and hopefully good material. Also a pretty cool lottery story too. Thanks again!
