Mental Toughness on Controlling Your Life

If you woke up and went to work today because you wanted to, you’re in control of money. If you woke up and went to work today because you needed to, money is in control of you. Unfortunately, even in the richest country in the world, 95% of the population is struggling financially, and as a result, is under control of an individual or organization. Even many of the social media show-offs standing next to their helicopters and private jets are living with massive debt. The good news is that there’s a way to buy back control of your time and

Critical Thinking on Multi-Level/Network Marketing

Multilevel marketing, or Network Marketing, has been around for over 80 years, and has generated countless billions of dollars in sales around the world. It’s opponents have thrown every legal argument out to prove that the marketing concept is actually a pyramid scheme, and they have failed. MLM is certainly misunderstood, yet it’s a proven, legal, ethical method of marketing that’s created both part-time and full-time businesses for millions of people. So why do so many people hate it? Why is there is so much disinformation about it? The short answer is because most people fail at Network Marketing, and it’s

Mental Toughness on Sex

In 2012, I wrote a book called “Sex. Politics Religion: How Delusional Thinking is Detroying America.” It was covered and reviewed on ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN, not to mention dozens of magazines. Of the 12 books I’ve written, with almost 2 million copies sold, this is my BEST book, but NOT my best seller. It’s the book I promised myself I’d write once I had enough money. In this video, I discuss the chapter on sex, and how puritanical American culture has buried this subject and contributed to the ignorance of our society. #personaldevelopment #mentaltoughness

Mental Toughness on Fighting

No one likes a fight. No one goes looking for trouble, but life and business have a habit of placing us in harms way. The fact is that sometimes you have to stand up for yourself in the face of conflict. Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe in. There are times when people choose to push you around and unless you fight back, they will be even more empowered to push you more in the future. How much are you willing to tolerate when it comes to the abusive behavior of others? iHow much crap are you

Mental Toughness on Fear

Champions handle fear like a snake charmer. That’s what I say in Chapter #50 of my million-copy best seller, 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class. The truth is, there’s even more to it than that. There’s a life philosophy that many high performers follow when it comes to fear, and for many people, it’s a game changer. In this video, I share this philosophy and how it can help you reduce the level of fear and suffering in your life. #mentaltoughness #personaldevelopment #fear #fearless #177mentaltoughnesssecrets

The Mark of a Champion

As a former professional athlete, I can tell you the traits that seperate the good from the great. It’s not what most fans think. It’s not sexy, but it’s the one thing you must have to succeed. It’s a combination of mental toughness and emotional stability, day-in and day-out. In this episode of the Mental Toughness Podcast, we dive into this critical, under-appreciated aspect of peak performance. Whether you’re an athlete, entrepreneur or proud parent, this is the single tenet you must lock down. #mentaltoughness #personaldevelopment

Overcoming Emotional Overwhelm

This is the death trap of high performance, where dreams go to die. So you’ve got this big goal that requires multiple steps over an extended period of time. It all seems so overwhelming, so you become paralyzed and never begin. This is emotional overwhelm, and there are so many examples of how this phenomenon derails even the most mentally tough performers. COVID-19 was an example of a mass event that shut down the world, leaving billions of people frozen in fear and unable to move forward. The retirement crisis is another example. Millions of retirees in the United States have

Mental Toughness and Consistency

When you compare good performers to great performers, there are rarely major differences between them in terms of skills and knowledge. On the surface, they appear the same. It’s no different with professional athletes: when you watch them go head-to-head, they look similar in terms of physical prowess and athletic skill. Yet the difference in results between good performers and great performers is huge. In professional sports, it’s the difference between the bench warmer and hall of famer. In business, it’s the difference between earning a good living and earning a fortune. The one difference that separates the good from the

Mental Toughness and Compartmentalization

Emotional compartmentalization is one of the most important psychological coping skills you can possess. Compartmentalization is the ability to segment your thoughts and emotions into air tight psychological boxes for the purpose of being able to direct your mental energy towards the task at hand, without interference. This is not something with which you are born; it’s something you learn. It’s a skill that requires practice and discipline, but once built, will serve you your entire life, both personally and professionally. Compartmentalization is a major component of mental toughness training that’s rarely discussed outside of professional sports. In this episode of

Building World-Class Wealth

When you’ve been indoctrinated into a consumption-based mindset by slick advertisers, it’s difficult to become wealthy. No matter how much money you earn, there’s never enough left to save and invest. I further define wealthy as more money than you need, affording you the opportunity to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want, without ever having to answer to anyone else for the rest of your life. Sadly, only a tiny percentage of people will ever experience this level of financial freedom, partially due to the never-ending barrage of social and
