Pearland. You have the red light. 28 minutes, bumper to
light. 28 minutes, bumper to
bumper using 2.88. All right,
Andy, thank you.
If you’re having a hard time
sticking to your New Year’s
resolutions or your new goals,
there may be more to it than
you imagine. Joining us live
now is a very dear friend of
mine. I’m so excited about this
growth mindset, coach, author, entrepreneur former Harlem
entrepreneur former Harlem
Globetrotter. The list goes
on and on. Derek Grant.
>> Derek, thank you for joining
us this morning. How are you?
>> Know, well, so be it.
Thank you for having me. I’m so excited are let me just
I’m so excited are let me just
tell the folks at home. Derek
is help millions of people
transform their lives through
his seminars, videos and
program. So let’s get right
to it. Derek.
>> New Year new you. New goals.
But some folks just can’t stick
with it and it gets really hard. So why do you think
hard. So why do you think
people just can’t stick with
their goals? Yeah, a lot of
times what happens is we
consciously think of a goal
or destination we’re trying
to get to. But emotionally, we
never put ourselves in that
position of feeling what it’s
like to be accomplished.
So I always tell people until you emotionally, put energy
you emotionally, put energy
behind something you could feel
it. It’s not going to seem real
to you. But when you can
emotionally, imagine yourself
accomplishing weathers weight
loss or, you know, getting that
that mark in your fine, your
finances and to the motion,
the feeling alone seeing real.
So I would tell people you’ve
got to make sure that you feel
and this is what we’ve been
getting with this hire faculty of our mine called the
of our mine called the
imagination.
>> So tell us how do you how do
you stay on track, though?
What are some of those tips
to imagine yourself? Is it a
daily practice? Is it something
that you should You know so
many times a week? What he what do you think?
do you think?
>> Yes, so I was still people.
The first thing you need to do
is make sure that you said your
intention. And that’s not just
for the year that every single
day. So I wake up in the
morning I get up to 5 o’clock.
By 5.30. I’m sitting down
writing, what’s my intention
for the day and making sure
that my Pro Bowl is in line
with the Mac Pro Bowl. The
other thing I always tell people is making sure that you
people is making sure that you
take time to journal.
It seems like it doesn’t do
anything but it pays dividends.
When you sit here and you’re
aware of what you are feeling
and what you’re thinking.
So in the moment that you start
to maybe go, of course you have
the awareness that big sing it
back on track.
>> And tell us about your this
catch phrase. You tell us I see
it on your Instagram in your
TikTok videos. Go follow him on
TikTok. He’s got millions and
millions of views on these great videos. But anyway, this
great videos. But anyway, this
is called Life is mental.
Tell us about that. That
catch phrase.
>> Yeah. A lot of times we
think that our physical bodies
that said, but life is actually
happening inside your head.
Everything is in mental
construct. So, you know,
perfect example of this is the
old adage own the glass being
half empty or half full.
Well, the reality of it is
there’s just water and this
glass. But how we experience it is based on one of our
is based on one of our
factories of our mine called
perception. So I tell people
you want to change your life.
You have to change the way you
do circumstances because how
you look at a circumstance will
determine how you experience
and how you experience is what
you call reality.
>> All right there. I just want
to let the viewers at home know
really quickly a little bit
more about Derek Grant and I
played basketball on the same
men and women’s teams in New Jersey. We graduated the same
Jersey. We graduated the same
year sets about 20 years ago.
But I don’t want anybody
tracking any jokes in 20 years
ago. Yes, he’s a phenomenal
player, super talented,
mentally tough. He then went on
to play for the Harlem
Globetrotters and then get a
master’s degree in
organizational management.
So a lot of what he shares with
the people he works with.
He’s gotten from sports, but also very specific time in your
also very specific time in your
life. So Derek, really quickly,
can you tell us about that
time? He said he felt like you
lost it all.
>> Yeah, this is really on.
The journey began back in 2018,
2019, I was living in Naples,
Florida, and I had a I was
involved in a business partner
who ended up swindling in
stealing everything from our family houses, cars, money.
family houses, cars, money.
And this is the first time in
my life I’ve ever dealt with
the hardship that I didn’t know
how to handle it in basketball
is one thing you describe your
way through. But this was
something different. And it
really put me in a place
mentally that, you know, I
never want to be and it forced
me to start to change my life
from the inside out. And I
always tell people my first
starts inside of you. And then
it projects itself outwardly.
So I always say now that was
the best thing that ever
happened to me because I can
tell you right now is that the event had not happened. I
event had not happened. I
wouldn’t be on this call with
the right now. I know it’s
incredible how life works in
mysterious ways.
>> You are in Houston this week
speaking at a private of the
event. But where can people get
more information if they want
to contact you if they want to

people remember truly what
they’re capable of.
>> I love it. I can’t wait.
