After recording this footage I took a break from podcasting to focus on business and my education at Berkeley, with a goal to return back to making podcasts and educational content on an even higher quality level.

Episode 4: Our Shortcut To Reaching 10x Goals (Modeling Success) In this episode we discuss our personal experiences with setting goals that were too small, and how that actually changed our lives For us, it started with not being fulfilled, with our life Feeling Mediocrity Not living up to our life's potential And continually questioning ourselves about the WHAT IF’s... Weirdly enough if you're keeping things "average" or doing "just enough" then you start to become comfortable Not that there's anything terribly wrong with being comfortable, but we were NOT getting the results we wanted with our current performance... It starts to feel like you start to become accustomed to some of society's norms and the general population Developing a “herd” mentality.. You become more reactive than proactive with your timing and life choices The craziest thing is most of the time, you aren't even conscious about these types of habits.. You become comfortable with your results, you become content in your day to day performance And so how did we approach this in our lives? It all starts with investing in yourself FIRST We knew that as long as we take the time to actively absorb knowledge (books, mentorships, courses) we'll only become stronger and will eventually reach our biggest goals - it's just a matter of time Most importantly, always LEARN! Learners are leaders Being teachable is incredibly vital to your success, discipline yourself to stay hard and avoid the easy instant gratifications Practice being consciously mindful with your daily mindset, gratitude, actions, rituals, and habits We highlight two vital areas that has contributed to our personal growth.. #1:The IMPORTANCE OF Modeling Success #2: The IMPORTANCE OF THINKING BIG!
