Staying Committed
Episode #171 Staying committed. Two words. Easy to remember but very difficult to apply in our daily life. How many times do we switch from one task to another? How many times do we promise to ourselves to do something but after some time we turn away, find another thing to do, commit to it and then stop, and then turn away again, and the cycle goes on? If you want to stay committed to something, you've got to be anchored to something that is stationary. Something that is stable or not going to move, whether it's your faith, your religion, your morning routine, or whatever it is. Anchor yourself to something that doesn't change. Then go deep. Follow a path and take it down to the very end. Make sure you're not avoiding the important. Take some time for your self. Take some time to reflect and take the time to take action. ————- Hungry for more?

Are You Bending the World Over and F*ing It?
Episode #170 Are you serving your higher purpose? Are you really going after it or are you just playing a role in somebody else's story? Are you living your life to the fullest... or are you just living to survive every day? If the answer is NO, then think about this... "The way in which you penetrate the world is the same way in which you'll penetrate your woman or your business." Most men that we talk to have given a lot of their passion and their hobbies to invest more time in their business or their work. But in the process of that, 10, 15 or 20 years, life becomes all about work and less about their children and their woman. Don't fall into this trap. If you want to have a successful marriage and a successful business, then it's crucial you remember your passion and do the things you love. Doing what you love most gives you energy and the wisdom on how you manage your business and your marriage. Be selfish sometimes. Give your self a break. Do what you're passionate about and the rest will work itself out. ————- Hungry for more?
