Failure can lead to another failure if you don’t improve yourself. There’s a beauty in retraction of failure because it leads to a motivation to improve yourself.

Are you a leader or a follower? Is it okay to copy others? Learn more about the battle of submission. It is important to stand on yourself and follow your higher self and your Creator. Blindly following others or the norms of the society will disconnect you to your higher self, to who you truly are. Unwilling to submit to the norms and holding to your identity will erase the fear of being led. Stand on what you truly believe, trust your higher self and the Creator.

In today’s episode:Point 1 The norms dictates you to just follow blindly.Point 2 Resist the flow and carve your own path. Point 3 Put trust in yourself and to the Creator.

The answer is in you.If you don’t grasp your true self, your true values and beliefs, you will be lost. You need to have your foundation that you need to stand. If you have your core, your values, your true self, this will help you pave your own path. Your ideas will come into reality.Answer the question, what do you truly believe? Dug deep inside you and use your beliefs to achieve your goals. Believe in yourself. Do not doubt yourself. In today’s episode:Point 1 The answer is more important than the question.Point 2 Your core values will be your foundation in life. Point 3 To get to your goals, believe in yourself.

Reflecting back from 10 years. My vision of myself and what I am today. I got out of my comfort zone, the time when I was living comfortably and I made the choice to chase my goals, the person I want to be. As I reflect on my personal journey, I saw the importance of being consistent and disciplined no matter what challenges I faced. I saw how my comfortable life was not the life I wanted, I wanted to make my own path for myself.Staying in your own comfort zone will not enhance your capabilities. You will not develop consistency and discipline because you're in your safe place. Being consistent from the get go is not easy because it needs discipline. And having no mentor is not an excuse. Be consistent and be disciplined to get to your goals.Reflect on yourself, who are you? Who is your true self? What are your goals? Determine this and be consistent on your own paved path. It’s not too late to start. Start now, be consistent, be disciplined, and you’re on your way to your empire. In today’s episode:Point 1 Step out of your comfort zone.Point 2 Reflect on yourself, who are you? What are your goals?Point 3 Be consistent, be disciplined.

We each have our own recipe, our own game plan that works for us. Your game and my game plan are both correct and combining the two will make it even better. It is important to be open minded. Having an open discussion to your teammates will enrich them and it will result in a better product or system.Following only a standard game plan will not give you the best result. Not listening to your comrade’s opinion will not improve your game plan. Being open-minded and having a healthy discussion will make your system better and your results will also improve. Accept that there are more than one way to solve a problem. Your game plan and their game plan are both correct and you must be open minded to accept it. Listen to their opinions too and it will result in a healthy work relationship and over-all better product. Ask your teammates their thoughts and open your mind to listen to them and that you can be wrong too or you might have overlooked some things. In today’s episode:Point 1 Nothing is absolutely correct, we are all correct in our own ways or reasons. Point 2 Be open minded and listen to others.Point 3 You can be wrong too, so you need to listen to others.

Focus on your step today and start taking the 1st step. Do not rush things.Nothing is certain and no one knows what the next detour will bring. Sticking ONLY to your plan will bring you inconvenience. Taking one step at a time will make you more inspired and excited to work. Focus on your daily battles.

Where are you currently at? What is missing in your business? What are your top priorities to be fixed? Find the broken piece before you accelerate. No matter how strong or perfect your plan is, if something is broken in your system, it will slow you down. Recognize the broken things that need to be fixed. Do not ignore it and face it. If you ignore it and just continue with it, it will result in inefficiency and would cost you more in the long run. You must fix the broken piece from the start and your process will run smoothly. Assess every little piece in your playbook. Fix the broken pieces from the get-go and you can have a smooth or fast running process. What aspect in your business needs to be fixed?

Get clear about your purpose and moving forward to your goals will be easier. Planning a quarter, a year, 3 year, what are your missions?

The key is to Track the actions and results. Is your game plan needed to improve? Reviewing your game tape will give you an insight on how you are doing and how you can improve. Tracking your actions or your team’s actions, will dictate the results. You need to track and step back to review. You’re missing the chance to improve if you don’t review your game tape. If you don’t review the actions, you can’t see the true results of your actions or the things you need to improve. Improving yourself and your business will be easier because you get to review what you are lacking or what you are doing wrong.

In today’s episode we dive into The idea between reality and idealism and the conflicts and frustrations it creates. There’s a big conflict of reality of the situation and the place you want to be, your ideal scenario. You have your ideas, you have your game plan, you have the mindset and you have started it but it’s not sustained because you are not fully ready yet and it creates frustrations. Win that 1st step and you may plan your next three steps but the 1st step may change your ideals. Seeing the vision and the great possibilities and not applying the present will keep you stuck. Your vision for the future is different from your current reality. Accept the reality of today and focus on your daily battles.

The game doesn't change, the only thing that changes is you. Time changes a lot of things, that includes you, your day to day life, way of living, preferences, and more. But the game stays the same, the goal to win and succeed remains as the end goal. Once you take time away, a lot of things change in your life, who you are now and your commitments. It is important to acknowledge that you have changed but the game hasn’t. Your old approach to the game isn’t going to work because you have you and your situation has changed not the requirements of the game. To win at the game we need to level up and change the way you approach the game. If you execute the same approach and you don’t embrace the change in you, you will lag behind. You will not be able to keep up and play the game. Your business will reach a plateau and will not improve. Embrace the change and better yourself at how you approach and execute your game plan. You have more experience now and have grown as an individual. If you don’t embrace it, you will face difficulty moving forward. Your goals will not be met or will take a very long time to be fulfilled.It is very important to level up your game plan. The way you approach and execute your plans, how you organize or plan. You might also need to re-learn or refresh your knowledge about the principles of the business that you're working on. Look closely, what areas in your life or in your business do you need to embrace the change needed for you to succeed and win the game? Pick one area in your life that you think you need to change.In today’s episode:Point 1 Change happens all the time, and that is normal. Point 2 One needs to level up their game plan, the way the execute it or approach it.Point 3 Change is part of growing.
