How can you reach your potential to greatness? Those who operate at the peak of their game know exactly who they are and what their strengths are. It is so important to have strong reasons with what you’re doing so you can stay laser focused on something bigger than yourself.
Real entrepreneurs are leading a revolution, leading by example and creating a movement that’s changing the game.
Why do most people find it hard to reach greatness? Because they procrastinate. Most people haven’t truly sold themselves on what they’re doing or have sold themselves on too many things which leads to burnout. The only way to achieve greatness is by fully selling yourself on every angle where there is no space for alternatives.
Everybody suffers and deals with problems. What I’ve realised is asking yourself the question, “What are you gonna suffer for?” There is a lot of sacrifice and suffering that comes with those who are reaching greatness so you need to define what you’re willing to sacrifice in order to level up your game.
The common theme that most entrepreneurs suffer with is being lonely. Truth is, everyone has problems. What you must do to succeed is to choose your problems and upgrade what you need to focus on. By understanding that you want to achieve greatness, little problems will no longer affect you.
If you ever suffer from being overwhelmed because a task was too hard to do, you need to shift your perspective and be able to ask the right question. You need to ask yourself “what would this look like if it were easy?” The feeling of being overwhelmed is usually a result of over complicating something or failing to simplify the solution.
If you are struggling and feeling overwhelmed with trying to achieve a higher level of success, make sure you listen to this week’s podcast!

How prepared are you for the inevitable changes in life and business?
In this week’s podcast, I interview pro skateboard legend, entrepreneur, and president of Commune Capital, Mikey Taylor. Mikey dives into his biggest breakthroughs he’s learned the past 20 years, and how he’s overcome the inevitable life changes that come with being a pro athlete (injuries, uncertainty of free agency, and money earned through this career is not forever)
Mikey advises all young entrepreneurs, athletes, and entertainers to protect and multiply your money.
A lot of entrepreneurs know how to make money but very few know how to protect it and compound it to protect their family. Real estate created passive income for Mikey and allowed him to plan for the future without becoming too comfortable with his career as a pro athlete. It’s important to plan for the future and control how much you are spending.
Mikey went through one of the biggest setbacks in his life which was losing his career earlier than he had expected. Like many successful people in business, he emphasised the power of a morning routine for the mindset to accomplish rather than feeling anxious and tired.
Mikey believes one of the biggest perspective shifts is stepping outside of yourself to help other people succeed is a whole new level of fulfilment. In fact, your level of success increases when you succeed with others.
Make sure you tune in this week’s podcast if you want to build your net-worth and learn the importance of creating multiple streams of income.
Let’s dive in!

-> Why it’s important to create multiple streams of income
-> How to create passive income through real estate
-> How to plan for the future and control your spending
-> How you can succeed bigger while succeeding with others
Quotes:
"You have to be comfortable knowing that because somebody is giving you advice, doesn’t mean it is the best advice for you"
"Put yourself in a position that will allow you to get through tough times"
"As much as change hurts, it’s necessary for growth"
Question:
What will you do to create multiple streams of income?
Why is having confidence and mental toughness the biggest key in succeeding? Because insecurities will destroy you while confidence will take you to a level that very few obtain.
In this week’s podcast I dive in the steps from “6 Months to 6 Figures” and the importance of confidence being congruent to your level of success.
Your most important account is not your bank account but your confidence account. Those making the most impact and influence in this new economy have certainty and confidence.
Are you executing on your vision? If you have level 10 goals and want high level income however your confidence level is 4, you’re going to live incongruently and be stressed out. When you’re stressed out, you’re not as resourceful.
If you want to build a world class life, you need to find a way to maximize your resources. Remember, being resourceful is the biggest resource.
Your biggest resource is your internal emotion - getting addicted to the feeling finishing something you needed to do, whether you feel like it or not. Start doings things based off intelligence rather than mood. I can guarantee that you will start getting the results that you want.
Make sure you tune in this week’s episode, for an in-depth perspective shift in building mental toughness and creating a world class life!

Quotes:
“It’s not about the hours you work, it’s what you put in the hours and the mindset you have while you’re working”
“If you want level 10 goals and you want level 10 income but your confidence is level 4, you’re gonna live incongruently and be stressed out”
“The key to confidence - get addicted to the feeling finishing something you didn’t feel like doing to being with”
Question:
What steps will you take to be more confident and start creating a world class life?
What does it take to build a successful business? Scratch that. What does it take to build a 9-figure business?!? We are getting real now.
It is simple. Stop trying to know everything and START taking action. You can learn more from bad experiences (such as being dead broke) over reading a book or paying for a class. Yes, education and learning is important but it pales in comparison to action.
In this week’s podcast, I interview self-made millionaire Brian Cristiano. Brian is the Founder & CEO of BOLD Worldwide, Entrepreneur, Keynote Speaker, Marketing Expert and Creator of the Docu-Series: Growing BOLD. His focus is building a $100,000,000+ Marketing & Media Company.
How do you swallow an elephant? One bite at a time. That is how Brian is striving to obtain his goal. One action at a time.
In this podcast, you will learn that launching a successful digital campaign is a very important component for business growth and an action that is necessary to put gas on your growth fire. It’s very easy for entrepreneurs to forget who their customers actually are. The biggest win is starting with knowing who your core customers are and their values and then taking massive action to solve their problems.
Understanding your customer requires interacting with your audience and looking at data. You need to be aware of customer values and what drives them. How did you retain them in the first place? Through customer service? Prices? Focus on how you can make those components bigger and better and tell a story around it. The key is to retain your customers.
Where most entrepreneurs go wrong is that they spend too much time focusing on tactics such as what’s the cost per lead, and not enough time actually focusing on their customers and taking action to get that first lead. And second lead, and third, and 10th, and 1,000th…...
Customers are marketing geniuses. If you market based off customer needs, you skip the guessing game. That is the biggest game changer.
Your marketing campaign will become more successful the more you stop making it about you and what your selling, and start focusing on what you can do for your customers.
If you are ready to level up your marketing campaign and take action towards solving your customer’s problem, then you are on the path to 9-figures!
“Stop selling the features and start selling the outcome - understand your customer to actually sell the outcome”
“Are you driving a deal or something intriguing enough that the rest of the market isn’t?”
“The real win is starting from who your core customers and what are their values?”
What do your customers really want?

Being crystal clear with your vision and knowing exactly what you want to achieve is powerful in order to reach success.
When I was dead broke and had nothing, I was sick of living a mediocre life. I didn’t know much about success but I had clarity on two things. I hated being broke and I wanted to live a life on my own terms without having money problems ever again. I no longer wanted to settle working a normal job and work for somebody else.
I want to share with you that one trait that all millionaires have in common. It’s having that clarity on exactly where they are going and why they are seeking success.
Once I became crystal clear with what I wanted in my life, I was able to level up my game and stopped living a mediocre life.
If you know exactly what it is that you want in life, often you will be forced to settle if you don’t know what you’re willing to give up to achieve your goals. This will only stop you from taking things to the next level.
The question I often get asked is, “how do you have tunnel vision on your goals to take both your life and business to the next level?” It’s important that you’re aware of what your strengths are and what type of people you need on your team to reach new heights.
Trying to do everything on your own can only lead to burn-out and losing passion over the things you used to love doing. Focusing on your strengths is vital to truly have clarity on the things that matter and scale your business.
To put things in perspective, having a great sense of clarity on exactly what you want in life, is the biggest key to success.
If you are prepared to take your life and business to a higher level, make sure you are tuned in this week’s podcast episode.

Quotes:
