Stop chasing shiny objects and use this tactic. When I was an elite college wrestler, I was always looking for an edge. I was looking for a way to be better. To score more points. To win more matches. To achieve my goals. The solution was never dramatic. It was fundamental. I'd heard it a thousand times before but for some reason hadn't fully incorporated it into my repertoire. But the solution was always right in front of me. It wasn't sexy. It wasn't exciting. It wasn't glamorous. It was back to the basics. It was hard work. It was keeping my head up and my elbows in. It was practicing positive self-talk. It was eating better. It was watching a film. It's the same for you. Everything you need is right in front of you. Slow down and you’ll see it.

Can You Really Have It All? Yes. Here's How. I grew up thinking that only other people could have it all. Health, wealth, happiness and all of the good things in life that come with them. In my youth, I believed that having it all was only for other kids and people. As an adolescent, I believed that only others could have self-confidence. As a wrestler, I believed only others could win the state championship. As a young adult, I believed that only others could be wealthy. There always seemed to be something missing from my life that others had. And I wanted it. So I set out to chase it. I started a company called Riot Sports Marketing. (Some of my readers will remember me from those days!) This was my way out. This was my way to freedom. To wealth. To total happiness and fulfillment. I sunk myself into my work. I closed off other areas of my life so that I could focus on getting "there." For 2 1/2 years, I kept my head down and worked on that company. I put everything into it. I had an investor an

A Story of Heartbreak, Tragedy, and Finding Your Purpose. Today I bring you, Dr. Ben Williams. The principal at Ron Brown College Preparatory High School in Washington DC, Ben’s life has been anything but easy. At age 4, he and his younger brother, sons of a prostitute addicted to drugs, became wards of the state and entered the Nevada foster care system. At age 12 they were adopted and there was hope that their troubles were over. The reality was far from it. After just a couple of years, because of their father’s failing health, they found themselves living with their aunt. Ben’s brother Andre, struggling with behavior problems, found himself at a residential facility for troubled youth. In the ensuing years, Ben found his way successfully through high school and into one of the top public universities in the country, the University of Virginia. But just before Ben’s third year in college, Andre was killed by a drunk driver while crossing a road. Despite so many obstacles in his path, Ben received three deg

Results from a listener who has taken action. Today I bring you Jared Kahmar. Jared is a husband, father, educator and coach. Married with three children. He’s currently the principal at ? School. He’s been an assistant principal, athletic director and coached wrestling and football. Jared is a regular guy in the sense that he’s not a celebrity. He doesn’t have a book or a business to promote (yet). He’s grinding it out like you and me, working to find balance and striving to succeed in the areas of his life that are most important to him. These are the reasons I wanted to bring Jared on. Sometimes we can’t relate to some of my guests who are billionaires or astronauts or have run 30 Ironmans in 30 days or guys like Tim Ferriss who has committed to coming on the show soon. We’re just trying to make it all work. My friendship with Jared started a couple years ago when he took me up on my offer of a free clarity call. I knew from the start that he was committed to making the changes necessary to be the best ver
