Project Life With Mike Watts: Online Business I Lifestyle I Creating Time

Darren Hardy is the owner and publisher of Success magazine, and he told a story about trying to impress his Dad and how it tore him up. Last night, I was able to show my parents around the house and I had a completely different experience when they were walking around the house in our new town. This is a story of being in your own power.

Penelope taught me a great lesson which is completely surrendering and allowing trust to run your life instead of trying to control everything. This morning, Penelope and I had a great time playing together and being with each other and she completely surrendered in our game that we played this morning.

The other night we did something super fun that was planned on short notice and was a bit unexpected. In the new neighborhood, we all go together for a party with 5 other families in the neighborhood. Once again, it was a great message on the importance of community and surrounding ourselves with LOVE!

How important is community to you? After our Team Northrup dinner last night, it became clear on the importance of surrounding yourself with like minded people. In this day in age of the news cycle, they want you to be miserable then you can get yourself on the drugs and realize you are stuck in the cycle of suck land. This is how you get out of it.

When you are running a business, sometimes drastic changes need to take place and they need to happen fast. When it comes to making huge changes, there is a way to do this so that everyone feels important and cared for. Mike Watts explains how they did this recently in their company.

It took me 34 years to figure out how I was tying my value to the world to the amount of money that I make in my life. Once I read Amanda Steinberg’s book and realized how I was determining my worth to money, something needed to change. It took a quick mindset change to create a whole outlook on life. Attaching your value to dollars is the most limiting feeling in the world and it was great to get some clarity around this limiting belief.

The post workout story with Laird Hamilton & Gabby Reece after completing a workout and a hour of breathing with them to discover who Mike is and how he will become a better person. The experience of working out with two legends in the sporting world was a once in lifetime experience.

Mike found out a week ago that Laird Hamilton & Gabby Reece were coming to town to teach their lifestyle training system, XPT, to a group of 24 people here in Maine. Over the weekend, they hosted an open community class for anyone to drop in and try out their training philosophy.

Being grateful has really improved in my life with the more perspective I have on every situation that happens in my life.  And sometimes it requires an outsider to slap us in the face to gain some perspective on the happenings in our life.  Mike explains more how Tim Ferriss and Kevin Hart helped with this over the past week. 

Travel doesn't have to be expensive because there is another way.  Mike shares the story on how he recently booked a trip for $400 that was supposed to cost $1800.  Paying attention to our money is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves and the more we pay attention to it the better our life will turn out.   

One of the most helpful things that I have done in my life, is to getting clear on what my reality actually is.  This is much different than living everyday to the fullest, it is about getting extremely clear on the life happening from day to day and week to week. 

Mike talks about interviewing Molly, who is changing the world based off a situation in school that went viral and took the world by storm. It was a pleasure having someone so young create a huge change in the world. 

Mike Watts shares how starting and running his business as created a difference perspective on what hard work is and what that means as the owner of a company.  We might have been taught one thing as growing up but that changes as we grow and we must grow with those changes. 

The ability to create clarity when it comes to our financial picture creates a tremendous amount of ease in our body and our life.  We have the ability to create an enjoyable experience with our finances that will allow us to be at ease with our life decisions. Mike explains how he was able to do this in their life and business.   

Mike shares this new concept which was introduced by Tim Ferriss & Vince Vaughan on the most recent podcast of the Tim Ferriss Show. The biggest takeaway is living by fearing less, not being fearless.

In our lifetime, we will most likely have to heal our relationships with our parents at one point and there is no better time to start as now.  Mike shares a story about his buddy going through a tough time and why it is super important to improving this life. 

Mike explains how to create success in the world of social media by focusing on one thing at a time until you succeed.

Mike and Kate went to see Wonder Woman this past weekend and let's say it was out of this world.  It is a fabulous movie and Kate had a great discovery after leaving the cinema.
