Harvard Psychologist Jerome Bruner said, "You're more likely to 𝗮𝗰𝘁 yourself into 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, than 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 yourself into 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. (3) Pillars of Self-Motivation 1. Competency- Build great competency in what you want 2. Autonomy- YOU are responsible for YOU 3. Relationships- Be someone to others 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 come from 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡, not the other way around!

Here are the 3 Steps to building unshakable 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 are two separate things. Many people are Motivated, very few are Confident. You may be inspired or motivated to do something, but until you take 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, make 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 or actually 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 it you won't be confident. Because true unshakable 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 is only EARNED. Progress and action are the primary way to build 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. A self-confident person is simply someone who keeps promises to themselves. Those promises compound over time.... Good or Bad. 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 precedes 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝟯 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: Make is as simple as possible -Start small, remove obstacles, execute 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: Make it measurable -Know when you completed the task 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: Prioritize - Simplify to 3 -Everything does not matter equally 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀: 𝟯 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 1. Competency- Develop great competency in your craft. Have a high competency in what you do. 2. Autonomy- YOU are responsible for YOU. Have Extreme Ownership of your life, where it is now and where it is going. 3. Relationships- Build great relationships.

"𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁" is simply being passionate about being great in everything you do. If I choose to do something, I will do it the best that I possibly can. Every day we are training ourselves to be great or to be average. Everything you choose to do on daily basis you can train yourself to be great. Because… there is no such thing as 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, only 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁. Choose to live your daily life as a "𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻". "𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻" your day by choosing to do every task the best that you possibly can. When you do this, you build 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 is easy and most people are confused by it. It is simply someone who keeps promises to themselves. The small internal promises you make to yourself that no one knows about, keep those, and watch your confidence grow. 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 is your reputation with yourself. Build your reputation with yourself. If you can trust you, you are not worried or concerned about others.

Growth Concept Series Part 1 - 100 or Nothing

Studying high achievers in multiple disciplines and industries. I have found that there is ONE KEY thing the best of the best do! What's the key? Well, I was watching an interview with LeBron James and the interviewer asked him " How do you have the confidence when things are coming down to the wire or they get tough". His answer made my hair stand up, He said "𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻!!! I revert to my preparation, and I know nobody has prepared better or more thorough than me" Imagine if we had that kind of dedication to our craft and life. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲. We may not all have the same talent, but we can all 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 at the highest level. All High Achievers take "𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻" seriously!!! What does "𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻" look like in our daily lives?

This is driven from a chapter in the late, great Trevor Moawads book, "It takes what takes" Deep down, we all know our choices ultimately determine our behaviors and those behaviors ultimately determine our outcomes. Better said, every choice has a consequence or an outcome. But… If we’re SERIOUS about actualizing our potential, achieving greatness, winning our own version of the World Series then there simply IS NO CHOICE. Moment to moment to moment we need to step in and give our 100, be the best version of ourselves. PERIOD. We want to think choice is awesome. But, ultimately it’s NOT. When we’re all in, there is no choice. When you feel like you have choice or too many options. Its because you haven't actually decided. When you get up? When you go to sleep? How you train? How you show up in your Work and your Love? So, let’s drop the illusion and make the ultimate decision that makes all the little decisions for us. Let’s go for greatness. TODAY.

James Townsend is a freak. Plain and simple, no exaggeration or embellishment, he is the .1% of .1% when it comes to speed, strength and explosive power. A former track star and NFL Wide Receiver, James is taking his 455 bench, 45″ vertical and 4.30 40 speed to the powerlifting platform.

Things aren't going your way. Upset, overwhelmed, frustrated? Join Jeremy as he discussed a framework with could change everything for you! It's a new year and the same sh*t is happening. Why are there so many people just soaring and it seems like nothing bothers them, they always have it all figured out. It's very simple. Not easy, but simple. What if I told you it comes down to some simple framework. Building a framework that you can use anytime, any day, any situation. More importantly, a Reflective Framework Having a model or framework encourages a structured process to guide the act of reflection. Leads to positive action. Creates less stress, overwhelm and frustration. Here is one to give a try! What, So What, Now What What - Reflect and describe the current situation or circumstance? What happened or What is happening? Be as objective as possible. So What - How do I feel about this? Describe feelings, ideas and analysis of the situation, circumstance or experience. What impacts the way you view it(What lens are you viewing from)? Now What - What are you willing to do about it? What did I learn? What can I apply? This is the action step, the let it go or do something about it. "Motion creates emotion" Changing your physiology means changing your mental state and breaking your negative patterns. Great physiology, therefore, leads to great emotions, and that is one of the keys to getting unstuck. Foster a positive mental state and get unstuck by changing your physiology!

Listen as Jeremy describes ways for you to upgrade your focus! Your Focus determines your reality in any given moment through out the day and your life. So, when we are having those feelings of brain fog, writers block, overwhelm, or just plain lack of ability to get things done. Remember, the fact is, our minds can only focus on ONE thing. So, the key to “blocking out” the external noise isn’t to try to “block out” the external noise. It’s to turn the volume up on your OWN focused thinking such that your mind doesn’t even notice the external distractions. How do we do that? FOCUS. On what? On what's important now, in this moment. Unfortunately, most of us have destroyed our ability to truly, deeply, sustainably Focus by allowing our minds to bounce from input to input to input all day every day. We must train or in most cases re-train ourselves. Focus is a choice Re-focus is a SKILL Focus isn't something you have, It's something you DO! When you have those feelings that you can't get something done or you are in a wandering mind. Simply ask yourself. What am I focused on right now? That will allow you to Re-focus on what you WANT and now your actions can get back on task and lead you there.

FOCUS - seeing the light at the end of the tunnel ignoring the noise. putting energy into what is important. not where you are but where you want to be. "What you focus on expands" Your brain focuses on what's relevant, so you can train your brain to what's relevant. it's called... 1. Selective Attention - is the process of directing our awareness to relevant stimuli while ignoring irrelevant stimuli in the environment. This starts by getting clear on your goals, clear on the result you want, clear on the outcome you desire. A Key Principle of high performance is knowing where you want to be and regularly looking at it and most important making it a key component of your Identity. 2. Strategic Ignorance - you don't want to be informed about everything. most news, newsfeeds create fomo and fear which is all distractions taking you away from FOCUS. What you let in literally shapes your brain. Shapes your desires. Shapes your interests. Shapes the places you go, to the food that you eat. What are the things you should be ignorant of? Apply these two pillars and let's start shaping our own future. Own our future. Own our FOCUS!

Discipline is pushing through pain, boredom, distraction, fear, insecurity and the ability to be decisive in the face of uncertainty and inadequacy. Winners don't have motivation they have discipline. You must build discipline into your Identity. Your true identity shapes your beliefs Your beliefs shape your behaviors Your behaviors shape your results Exercise: Write an Identity statement, start it with "I am the type of person that...." Mine : Doesn't miss workouts. Tom's: Gets out of bed within 10min of waking up. Write yours and share it in the comments and then get out there and live it!
