Find out what you want to go and do and go after it
because so many years go by and you look back and you're like
What have I actually done in the whole time?
Because you haven't been living a life in line with your personal values
you've been living someone else's life.
Don't freaking do that to yourself, It's insane
You want to get to where you want to be, only you
not what someone else thinks, not what the magazine's think
not what Instagram tells you.
Stop comparing your life to other people's
stop living in the deadly world of comparison
You're comparing yourself to other people and you're putting yourself down
you're lowering your self worth
you're enough
You've already got exactly what you need inside of you
all you need to do is develop yourself, start to step into your fears
and allow these things to come out and you'll be firing.
You'll be going straight for your goals, you'll be going straight for your dreams
and then you'll be able to look back and go
I'm so glad that I was brave enough and I had the courage to step into my fears.
Because there would be nothing worse than to get to an older age
and look back on my life and know that I didn't go and do something
because I was afraid, because I was afraid of other people's opinions.
It doesn't matter what other people think
the only thing that matters is what you want.
What are your personal values? What are your dreams?
What impact can you have on the world?
If you can line up your personal values, create a mission statement
that can actually have an impact on the world, you'll be drawn into it.
You don't need to motivate yourself
you don't need to copy other people's quotes and other people's sayings
and post them up on Facebook and Instagram
You'll be coming up with your own quotes, you'll be coming up with your own sayings
because you're pulled into it.
You're living a life in line with your personal values
and your mission statement is having an impact on the world.
This is coming from with inside of you, not from someone else.
It's the only way, the best person you'll ever be is yourself
That's it, no one else.
You're you, it doesn't matter if you're strange, it doesn't matter if you're different
it doesn't matter if you don't fit in with other people.
Be you
if people like you, if people love you for who you are, they'll hang out with you.
Forget the cool kids, forget trying to fit in with other people
forget trying to do things that other people want you to do.
if you start chasing after your dreams
make no mistake, there's gonna be people around you
there's even going to be people close to you
that's going to try and bring you down because it doesn't line up with what they want
Forget it, go after what you want.
It doesn't mean they're trying to sabotage your efforts for success
It just means they don't wanna be left behind
it just means they don't wanna be left alone
they don't want to be left on their level.
Just because they don't have the courage to step inside their fears
and see what's on the other side.
This is where the growth is
you find out your fears, you step into them
you get on the other side and things continue to open up for you.
Where I started was, I knew there was a few things standing in my way
from where I was near to where I wanted to be in the future.
So what I've done, I wrote down my top three fears
because my main fear was that I knew
if I couldn't step into a fear that was a little bit smaller
then there was no way that I could build the courage
and be brave enough to step in to number one.
So I created a methodical systematic approach
in order to start to step into my fears
and it's identifying your top three fears.
What's number one? What's number two? And what's number three?
Number one being most scariest
number two, and then number three the least scariest.
Now don't get me wrong, number three is gonna be freaking scary
but once you put some things in a place
once you start to step into that number three fear
and you come out on the other side of it
you build the confidence
by default, your self-confidence and your self-worth goes up.
You increase your self-worth, you increase your self-confidence by default.
This is what automatically happens
step into that number three fear, get on the other side of it
and bang you'll be looking at number two
You step in your number two, you get on the other side of that one
and now you got the balls, you got the courage to step in your number one.
And unless you do it in a methodical systematic approach like this
it can be too difficult
Some people can do that but some people can't.
They need to start off with something easier and that's what I needed to do.
This system is what works for me and I want to share it with you
because I'm sure you're gonna get some benefit out of it.
I'm not telling you that this is the only system, the only way to step into your fears
but this is what worked for me and I wanna share with you.
If this is what appeals to you then go for it
sit down write your top three fears
hit number three, hit number two, and hit number one
and there's so much on the other side of your fears, it's insane.
if you think about it, imagine…
this is where I am right now, and this is where I want to be in the future.
There's all these barriers in between
from here to my future
This is my end in mind, this is my ultimate goal, I want to go from here to here
There's all these barriers, there's all these walls in between
and what are they?
They're other people's opinions, they're other restrictions
they're your friends and family maybe that's
stopping you or telling you to not actually go for your end in mind,
to go for your end goal.
This end in mind is the one that sits in the back of your head
the one that you daydream about
It's almost like you don't even need to identify it
you're just innately thinking about it constantly.
What's that end in mind?
It's gonna be blurry, but once you start to bust down these barriers
it becomes a little bit clearer.
It becomes like this vision starts to get real, starts to get tangible
it's almost like you can reach out and touch it.
So what are those barriers in between
from where you are now to where you want to be in the future?
What are these barriers?
and I guarantee that those three fears
the top three fears that you wrote down
That's going to be inside your gap
the gap from where you are now to where you wanna be in the future.
So that's why it's so powerful
Identify these top three fears, three, two, one
and you'll be on your way
you'll be making progress
you'll build momentum towards that end in mind, towards that ending goal.
Now look, it's gonna be hard
It's gonna be tough
and it's gonna be freaking scary.
But the longer and more often you push on these barriers, you push on these walls
The longer you push on those walls, it'll eventually fall over
then you push on another one, you become stronger
you become mentally stronger
just as if you were to push on a wall for a day after day
you gonna become stronger and eventually that walls going to fall down.
you're doing the same thing, you're just doing it mentally
push on those walls, they'll eventually fall down
and what you want to happen you'll end up creating a domino effect.
You'll just be pushing wall after wall after wall down
and the next wall, even though it was bigger than the first one
because you're stronger, you'll be able to push it down even quicker.
And sooner rather than later, you're gonna build massive momentum
you're gonna build huge progress to get to this end in mind
to get to this goal
to close that gap from where you are now to where you want to be in the future.
Inside this gap, even though it's scary, this is where the growth is, right here
This is where the growth is
Identify your top three fears
and you'll progress much, much quicker to your end in mind.
This is what I call accelerated self-development
Nothing accelerates your growth quicker than stepping into your top three fears
Now in regards to building a business
most people are so afraid to take this first step
It's like oh it's not going to work out
what are my friends and family going to think? what if I fail?
What are they going to think then?
It doesn't matter, it's irrelevant
because if your mission statement is there
if it's strong enough, if it's big enough and in line with your personal values
and the impact you wanna have on the world
then the opinions of other people don't matter
It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
your mission statement is everything, it will guide you.
Now through these hard times when you're building your business
when you stepped into the shoes of an entrepreneur
and you're grinding through it every day
you're doing what it takes
Some morning's you leaving once the Sun come up
because you haven't even been asleep, you've worked through the whole night
it's happened to me many, many times
and it's not because I'm just trying to punch out the hours and brag about it
It just eventually happens
You just work through the night and it was just normal, it's weird
It's weird to hear that if you haven't heard it before
but it's probably gonna happen to you
if your mission is strong enough
that's the same that will happen to you
Now during these hard times, even if you feel like you're not making progress
Even if you're not getting the financial return that you expected
even if that financial return is taking longer and longer
Just remember in the beginning
when you're grinding through the hours
when you're putting in all those all-nighters
that's where you're making your millions
You're not making it later on five years down the track
when you finally close your first deal or the best one yet or whatever it is.
It's now, it's in the beginning, it's those hours, it's that growth
it's that pushing those walls down, facing your fears
stepping into them, seeing what's on the other side.
That's when your millions are made
and it relates to business, it relates to personal life.
Identify those top three fears
number three, number two, and then number one
It's not just to face those three fears and that's it
those three fears are the ones you continually step into and expand on them
you do something larger within that fear
Stepping into those fears and growing from it, seeing what's on the other side
it ends up transferring and leaking into other areas of your life.
It's not just you do that and that's it
once you're stepping into number three, number two, and number one
it's benefiting everything
everything affects everything else and you start to create these links
and these links to other areas of your life.
These Ah-ha moments, the light bulb moments, and you're like
Whoa because I stepped into that fear now I got the confidence to do this
whereas I wouldn't have done it before
you know, maybe I wouldn't have started this business
maybe I wouldn't have even taken the next step, to chase my dream
if I hadn't have gone and stepped into these fears.
Maybe I wouldn't take that first step to make the first investment
maybe I wouldn't take that step to get up and speak about what I'm passionate about
All these things, you step into your fears it leaks into other areas of your life
it's a catalyst for so much more.
This is accelerated self-development
it enhances your whole life, it enhances your relationships
your personal life, business, career
your performance, your recovery, your sleep quality, your mental health.
Man, when you step inside of your fears and you come out on the other side
it is the best thing ever.
I grew up partying with alcohol and eventually throwing some drugs into the mix
wow amazing put some drugs into the mix and you have the best night ever, right
man,
The way that I feel on a daily basis now
from what I've been doing the life that I live
eating clean whole foods, balanced blood sugar levels
living a life in line with my personal values
having an optimum morning routine that I do each day
living an active lifestyle that's in line with my personal values
in the environments, areas, disciplines and sports that I love to be in and around
and then continuing to step into my fears
meditating on a consistent basis
and having an impact on the world that's in line with those personal values.
I wrap all this together, the feelings that I have during the day
there's moments during every single day
that it's better than any party, any drug that I've ever had in my life
And what's best yet
it's repeatable, it's reproducible, it's sustainable and it gets better and better.
Drugs, alcohol, and partying isn't sustainable, what I do now is.
And not only that it gets better and better
when you're using stimulants, it's not the same as when you first experienced it.
the feelings drop off and eventually you have to go and take more and more of it.
It's like coffee, the first cup of coffee, great
And then you end up having three or four cups a day
and you never get back to that same feeling as the first one.
But living the life that I live now, it's sustainable and it gets better and better
It's freaking amazing and I want to share it with you
I want to inspire you to identify your top three fears
start to step into them and see what's on the other side
because inside that gap, where you are now to where you want to be in the future
That's where the growth is, remember that
that's where the fears are, you've got no choice but to go through your fears.
You can't jump over them, you can't walk around them
you have to step into them.
If you do try and jump over and walk around it
that's when you're gonna get to the point years down the track
and looking back on your life and you're gonna have that feeling of
man I can't believe I didn't do it because I was afraid
because I was afraid of other people's opinions and whatever else it was.
There will be nothing worse than to have that feeling
what sort of life do you want to live?
what are you passionate about?
what are your personal values?
Create a mission statement around that and how it can impact the world
and you'll be pulled into going for that mission statement
and having your impact on the world.
You might need to find outside motivation
where is your motivation gonna come from?
It has to come from within, it has to come from your mission statement
and the impact that you're gonna have on the world.
This is the best way to build a company, to build a business
What impact can you have that's in line with your personal values
and your mission statement
and then you can profit financially from that
and then you can have a bigger impact.
This is the future of building a company
it's not just about making money
the more money you make, the bigger the impact you're gonna have.
That's what you need to think about
Eat clean whole foods, balance your blood sugar levels
and enhance things through supplements if need be.
Identify your personal values, create a morning routine around that
get your active lifestyle that's in line with your personal values
meditate on a consistent basis
or do something that relaxes you or de-stresses you, read a book
you don't have to sit there and meditate with your legs crossed
but do something that is a form of meditation, that is a de-stresser
the silent meditation is what works for me.
then identify your top three fears, start to work through them
and once you've stepped into one
all you do is expand on that and step into it even more
the second one, once again
expand on it even more and step into it again
number one expand on it even more and step into it again.
And now you've got this complete system, this beautiful life
that's your life, adapted to what you really want
and where you're going, the way you see the world
chasing your end in mind.
Now you're seeing what's possible for yourself
Now you're seeing what's possible in order to have an impact on the world.
