The Bearded Beast Show

Stop beating yourself to death over your past mistakes. It's called life. Every single one of these people you see out here pretending to be perfect and have it all together… Has a long list of mistakes they've made that you don't know about. You think these people go around advertising their shortcomings? You aren't the only one. Assess the situation. Learn what you can. Commit to doing better. Keep it moving.

Discipline + Obsession will crush "talent" every single time. If you think you can win in life by depending on your talent alone… You are fucking delusional. There are thousands upon thousands of people out there… Who are less talented than you… Who have less resources than you… Who have more responsibilities than you… Who have all the possible excuses you can think of to just quit on their goals & dreams…

EVERY SINGLE DAY. 5 CRITICAL TASKS PER DAY. If you execute on all the tasks you get a WIN. If you miss on any one task you get a LOSS. Win enough days in a row you win a week. Win enough weeks in a row you win a month. Win enough months in a row you win a year. Win enough years in a row...YOU WIN YOUR LIFE.

Your fear. Your frustration. Your anxiety. Your hopelessness. Your anger. Your fight. Your hardships. Your struggle. ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE YOUR PRIVILEGE.

Nobody cares about your problems... So quit bitching about them. Pouting on the internet may get you a little bit of sympathy... It may get you a few likes... It may get you a little attention... But I promise you... These people are actually just trying to be polite

Some days are going to feel like everything is out of your control. Some days are going to feel like you're getting pulled in every direction. Some days are going to feel like the universe is conspiring against you. Some days are just going to suck … which makes doing the shit you know you need to do far more difficult. ...but regardless of how difficult these days may be... You must pass the test these days present.

Learning to say the word "No" is one of the best things you can do for yourself and the people around you. For a long time, this is something I struggled with. ...and because I was unable to say "No" when it was necessary... I often found myself frustrated and bitter. Understand that your inability to use this word will only hold yourself and others back. It's not rude. It's not selfish. It's not inappropriate.

Surround yourself with people who are doing shit... Not just talking about it. Only losers talk about what they "could do." ...and if you know someone like this... I recommend you distance yourself... FAST.

Every single one of us have holes in our game... I know I definitely do. Here's the thing… It's supposed to be that way. It's how you choose to address these holes that will determine whether you win or lose in life. If you choose to ignore your holes and avoid the work it takes to fix them... Your life will never be any better than it is right now. It will likely regress.

Have you ever considered the fact that the greatest inventions of our time all came from ideas that people ridiculed and called "crazy" or "impossible?" The phone... The internet... Airplanes... Cars... Electricity... ...that's just to name a few.  

Losers will always point to intangible, immeasurable items... Luck. Talent. Circumstance. They use them as justifications as to why other people are successful... ...and they aren't. Winners always point at tangible items...

When someone I know goes out and does a great job or accomplishes some cool shit... I never say "I'm proud of you." Instead … I say "I'm excited for you." I say this because I understand we are all a work in progress... ...and there is much more that these people will accomplish IF they keep their foot on the gas. The same can be said for you.

Everybody knows what to do. If you want to get in great shape ... you have to exercise and give your body the right nutrients and fuel. If you want to win at anything ... you have to work hard every day and do it consistently for a long time. If you want to find an answer to something ... you can find it online with just a couple clicks. If you want to improve your mindset and skills ... you need to sharpen these tools through personal development. Now let me ask you this...

There is no magic to success. You just wish there was. The only real magic that exists is doing what needs to be done when you'd rather do anything else... ...and doing it when nobody else will. That's the "magic" you are missing.  

Don't be scared to fall on your face over and over again and get laughed at by people who will never even try. Their life will never get any better than it is right now. While you get better... They are just sitting around laughing at everyone they see doing anything they are unwilling to do. They are perpetually stuck at the cool kids' table from high school...  

Intensity Fire Tenacity Hunger THE WILL TO FUCKING WIN! THE INTANGIBLES. These are the qualities that cannot be taught. These are the "it factors" of success.

Most people get all motivated, excited, and revved up to go out and crush it... and what happens the first time they get punched in the fucking mouth... Either by: Making a call where they get hung up on... or Sending an email that gets no reply... or Getting shut down and getting their feelings hurt in some other way? They say "This wasn't meant for me". And that's usually all it takes.

It's a great thing to dream, think and work toward enormous goals. Most people are incapable of seeing outside the realm of possibilities that they observed growing up. However, dreaming big comes with its own set of challenges... ...mainly and most potentially damaging to a life is the elements of "big goals" combined with an "unawareness" of the amount of effort it actually takes. It's an extremely dangerous thing to expect results overnight or have unrealistic expectations in the amount of struggle it's going to take.

If you don't have a clear picture in your head about exactly what you want your life to look like down the road... ...and you are uncertain whether or not your goals and dreams are possible for you... You are telling the universe two things: 1. You're not willing to put in the work that's required. 2. You don't care about what you bring into your life. This is the exact reason why most people end up with a life that's far less than what they truly want... They hope they'll win... They wonder if they'll win... They'll wish for their wins...

The more successful you are, the more controversial you're going to be. Jealous people will come at you. Small-minded people will try and tear you down. People you thought were your friends will reveal themselves to you in the most disappointing ways.

Every single fucking ounce of work that's going to build you into the greatest version of yourself will be done alone. You'll sweat alone. You'll stress alone. You'll work alone. You'll suffer alone. But once you start becoming the best version of yourself... Other people will see it…

Weakness in others gives zero justification for weakness in yourself. Most people live to the standards of the people around them. Unless you are surrounded by high-drive, highly disciplined people... This isn't a good thing if you have ambitious goals for yourself. Most people do what "They" do. "They" being a whole bunch of people you know by default that aren't on the ambitious path in life.

Life isn't fair. Never has been. Never will be. Regardless of how much bitching and whining you do about "fairness" you won't change this reality. It's wasted thought, breath, and energy. Natural order always wins.

It's always a long road when you start... It's always a long road when you're in it... It's never a long road when it's over. Do your best to live a meaningful life. A life that truly matters.  

If you pay close enough attention... You'll find that most people belong to one of two groups: The first group of people are arrogant... They have an inflated sense of self-importance... They over-celebrate their wins... They are convinced that they have everything "figured out"... They're wrong.

Despite what the internet and social media may tell you... Burnout is rarely the result of being "overworked" or "overly stressed." If you feel "burned out" ... it's more than likely for one of two reasons:

A lot of people ask me this... "When is the right time to reward yourself?" Here's my answer... Reward yourself everyday… By getting up... ...and working your ass off.

This goes against everything you've ever been told, but Consistency is Not the "key to success' LIsten in to find out why!

When I look back at my 20+ years that I have been in business.... The times that I've had the most fun... The times that I've had the most growth.... The times that I've learned the most...

"I'm not in the mood today" VS. "It doesn't matter what mood I am in, I AM GETTING IT DONE" Which kind of person are you?

Have you noticed that some people constantly deal with the same problems again and again? They work hard, but they never gain any traction. They go to the gym, but they never make progress… They always struggle financially… They have bad relationships… The list can go on and on.

We need more people sharing their wins. Make their fucking eyes hurt with your winning. Showing your wins and showing people how to win is the noble thing to do… Now more than ever. Winning is good. Winning is right. Winning should be celebrated. Winning is in our DNA.  

Most people hold themselves hostage in life to the negative stories they tell themselves about who they are and why they're incapable of becoming what they truly desire to become. "I wasn't meant to be successful." "I don't have any special talents or skills." "I'm not one of the lucky ones." I'm sure you know a handful of people who talk to themselves like this... Maybe you're one of these people.

All winners understand that change is part of reality. They don't run from it... They don't pout about it... They don't deny it... They embrace it and recognize the opportunity that presents itself in times of change. If you want to live a truly fulfilling life... Accepting and embracing change is a requirement.

A lot of people have no issue with stepping out of their comfort zone when it comes to starting something new... Which is a great thing … and a character trait you need to win. But, for as many people who are willing to get started... There are far less people who actually finish. FAR LESS.  

You are more qualified to help others then you think you are. Tune into the real talk episode of The Bearded Beast Show to find out why I'm saying this!

Every single one of us has a monster that lives inside of us that causes a ton os stress, anxiety, and frustration. Listen in to this episode and learn to SLAY that Monster!

Setting out to pursue and achieve your biggest goals is going to separate the people in your life into two different groups: The first group is going to be confused. They're going to be intimidated. They're going to be jealous. They're going to quietly track your progress... But you'll never hear a single word of encouragement from them. This group of people will never understand your actions... ...and it's not your job to help them understand either. Leave them behind.

Hard life with a reward. Hard life without a reward. Those are the only two options. You will either live an intentionally "hard" life that comes with a reward. Or You will seek comfort and the unintentional hard life will materialize. This is it.

LIsten in to a unique episode for The Bearded Beast Show, in this episode I give you three messages to think about!

Pursue and achieve your biggest goals and dreams... Or structure your life around having the ideal "work/life balance." It's one or the other. Never both. Most people today are obsessed with the idea of balance.

Whether you think so or not... What people think of you matters, and is reflected in every single area of your life. The opportunities you have... The money you make... The relationships you build... The impact you have... All of these things will be influenced by the story that's told about you when you're not around.  

Life gets a lot easier when you stop expecting life to get easier. The world doesn't bend reality to suit your comfort level. Expecting things to change to your liking is going to leave you frustrated, disappointed, unfulfilled, and broke in every way possible. Expecting shit to get harder... Way fucking harder... Then preparing for the hardship by building yourself into a stronger, tougher, more resilient you... …is the only way your life will get "easier." Nobody owes you.  

Legends don't concern themselves with being "good enough" to beat their competition... They focus on becoming as great as they can possibly become by playing their best game every single time. When you only worry about beating your competition... You set yourself up to perform slightly better than your competitor. When you focus on playing your best game... You set yourself up to execute at the highest level possible. That's the difference between winning and complete fucking domination.

We are creatures of habit. That's a fact. But What does that mean? Listen in to this episode to find out!

There is no "one thing" that will make all of your problems disappear. No amount of money... No relationship or connection... No career... No place you move to... No method you try... Nothing. This is flawed thinking. You will always have struggles and challenges... That's just the way it is.

Actions. Results. Words. If you want to be taken seriously ... that's the hierarchy of importance. A lot of people spin their wheels for years because they ignore this hierarchy of reality. Don't be one of them. If you want your words to matter... You must lead with your actions and results.  

None of the people you look up to have superpowers you don't.  They are normal people... Just like you. Whatever is in them is also in you. The work you do when nobody is watching is what produces the results everyone watches. Don't sell yourself short.

Hard is relative. What's easy for me may be hard for you. What's hard for me may be easy for you. The important thing is that we're all out here working to be better. Help the people behind you... ...and learn from the people ahead of you. None of us are at the same point in the journey and teamwork is required to bring out the best in all of us.
