I reached out for help.
“I’m serious,” he said, “I’m putting myself first, organizing my time, and taking control of my life.”
It was a group of other fuck up’s, much like me. Guys who burned their lives to the ground, guys struggling with insecurity, guilt, shame, etc.
What I do have is REAL LIFE experience with suicide, depression, business, bankruptcy, making millions, losing millions, building a business from scratch, divorce, lawyers and courts, rebuilding with my ex, being a father, owning multiple companies while being a good dad, and whole bunch of other fun and crazy shit!
but has helped me build an amazing relationship and friendship with my ex-wife.
control my day. I control my finances. I control my body and fitness.
POWER - (body) · PASSION - (relationships) · PURPOSE - (the mind) · PRODUCTION - (business) When we talk about CORE 4,
Your BODY. · Your RELATIONSHIPS. · Your MIND. · Your BUSINESS.
What would life look like if you could manage the WORK/HOME balance with ease and simplicity vs. always feeling like you are failing at one or the other?
DRAMA with anyone else? What would life look like if you could hit the gym and feed your mind every morning without feeling rushed or like you should be at the office already?
ONE BITE AT A TIME. SMALL BITES EVERY SINGLE DAY. Tiny small bites over and over.
CORE 4 is your knife and fork to eat every elephant in your life.
Every single day you invest in all four areas.
get CLEAR about what I want for that day in each area of CORE 4.
See, we humans are programmed to take the easy path. The path of least resistance. So, when we face a challenge, or we are tasked with something difficult to do, we will make an excuse. We will get punched in the face then blame everyone and everything around us.
Making that excuse is just as easy as CHOOSING to do the work and create a result. The choice itself is equal. The power and energy are the same if you say, “fuck it I’m not doing it,” as opposed to, “fuck it let’s do this.” CHOOSING big is just as easy as CHOOSING small.
Every single day you have a plan and purpose to sweat. No exceptions. Not when you feel like it. Not when the weather is nice. Not when it’s simple and easy. Every fucking day you work out. Every day you make a conscious choice about what food you put in
your body.
Want to make more money? GET IN BETTER SHAPE!
Want to have more SEX? GET IN BETTER SHAPE! I hear people say all the time, “I’m attracted to what’s on the inside.” 95% of the time it’s an overweight out of shape person saying that, but let’s be candid.
That is exactly why you hire a trainer. For SIMPLICITY. You don’t need to think about workouts and diet, you just show up and do what you’re told.
*** Whatever you choose, you MUST IMMEDIATELY make your BODY a daily priority. Rain or shine. Sore or not. EVERY SINGLE DAY. If you must get up early in the morning to make it happen, go to bed earlier. If you don’t live near a gym, get online and figure out how to create one at home. Learn and study diet plans, eating healthy, and fitness plans (Google is free). There are COUNTLESS resources available to help you get this ball rolling. However, the #1 thing you MUST be committed to every single day is this: DOING THE FUCKING WORK! There is NO EXCUSE for not working out and having a

There is nothing that will distract you, annoy you, frustrate you, demoralize you, or cause you to go broke more quickly than shitty relationships. I’m not just talking about with a spouse or lover. I’m talking about having drama, beef, resentment, frustration, or unresolved issues with ANY human being in your life. Mom. Dad. Brother. Sister. Co-worker. Ex-wife, or Ex-husband, etc. Fucking EVERYONE! You need to eliminate that shit NOW! You must look at that drama or issue like you would look at a disease. It will eat you alive. It will occupy and control your mind, and if you allow it,

A bad relationship will ruin your business. A bad relationship will cause you to get fat.
A bad relationship will cloud your mind to the point that everything in your life turns to shit.
It’s a clear and focused mind.
Yes, you read that right. IT IS YOUR FAULT.
Let’s say some shitty driver cuts you off. You honk at them and give them the bird, or yell something at them through the window. You honking, flipping the bird, and yelling FUCK YOU was 100% your choice.
Being mad at my father does not help me. It does not create anything good with him. It does not make me more money or help me build my business. It does not make me a better father or help me have six-pack abs.
I started reaching out to him. Messaging, texting, calling and leaving messages, sending emails. Every single time I did I FELT BETTER! To this day, I email my dad pictures, videos, and messages. He has not responded to me in years. He’s an angry, bitter fella. But I love him, and I came to find that love not only because he’s my dad, but because as I reached out, I thought less and less about all the bullshit. So, I continue to send him pics and videos of the grandkids he’s never met because every time I do, I know he sees them, and every time I hit send I FEEL GOOD! The anger has gone

You have no control over other people. But you DO have control over yourself.
Your behavior, your reactions, your words, and your actions.
NEEDS to be done if YOU want to have peace, clarity, and success in your life!

VULNERABILITY IS A DAMN SUPERPOWER!

resentful, etc., YOU LOSE EVERY TIME!
So, if you want more power (at work, at the gym, with your family, etc.) eliminate every bit of anger, frustration, and resentment from your mind and life.

As A Man Thinketh, by James Allen,
“Idle time is the devil's workshop.”
The mind needs to be tested, stretched, and fed CONSTANTLY! And
if you feed it lessons and positivity, it will perform well.
When your mind performs well, everything else will follow.
What will you read tomorrow? - What videos will you watch? - What audiobooks will you listen to on the way to work? - What time will you meditate? - Have your morning planned out THE NIGHT BEFORE!
