How?s that self-criticism working out for you? If being hard on yourself was the key to success, wouldn?t it have worked by now? The truth is, many of us are our own worst enemies, holding ourselves to impossible standards and punishing ourselves when we fall short. This week, I?m breaking down the critical shift you need to make: separating who you are from your mistakes and learning to treat yourself with the grace and belief you truly deserve. We often think self-love means settling, but it?s the opposite. Real self-love comes from expecting better because you believe deeply in your potential. If you constantly criticize yourself, you reinforce the wrong narrative about who you are. Thoughts are powerful?like magnets, they draw experiences that match your self-beliefs. Change the story you tell yourself, and you?ll change what you attract in life. I?ll share why you must become your own biggest fan. It?s not just about positivity; it?s about raising your vibrational frequency to align with truth, not lies. The world?s most successful people don?t define themselves by their failures; they see setbacks as moments, not reflections of their worth. You can?t show up fully for your dreams or others if you?re tearing yourself down internally. So here?s my challenge to you: Stop letting your inner critic run the show. Separate your behavior from your identity. Start rooting for yourself as fiercely as you would for your closest friend or your child. You deserve a life built on belief, not self-doubt. Key Takeaways: Self-love isn?t settling?it?s expecting better because you believe in your potential. Thoughts are magnets; the story you tell yourself shapes your reality. Separate who you are from your mistakes; you are greater than any failure. Start speaking to yourself with the same grace you?d give someone you love. Your best life starts with the way you see yourself. Demand better because you know you?re worth it. Max out today, and let?s make your future something to be proud of. God bless.

If you could go back and give advice to your younger self, what would you say? That?s the question I got recently from a young man at a live event, and it?s one that hit me hard. I realized that I'd give up every dollar, every luxury, just to relive that energy, that drive. The truth? Right now is the youngest and most powerful you?ll ever be again. Whether you?re 20 or 53, there?s no better time to start living fully, with focus and intention. One of the biggest lessons I wish I?d learned earlier? Only control what you can. So much of my life I spent trying to control outcomes, people?s opinions, or circumstances. But focusing on what I couldn?t change drained my energy and stole my peace. Imagine the freedom if you could just let go of that need to control every little detail and focus solely on what?s in your hands?your actions, your attitude, your growth. That?s where the power lies. In this episode, I dive into the importance of protecting your energy?what I call your vibrational frequency. The highest energy wins. The most successful people aren?t just the most skilled or the smartest; they know how to show up with full presence, clarity, and focus when it matters most. To reach that level, you?ve got to stay aligned with your purpose and keep the distractions, doubts, and energy-draining worries out of your way. Finally, I talk about raising your standards, not just setting goals. Goals are great, but they come and go. Standards? They shape who you become. Decide what level you?re truly comfortable with in every area of your life?relationships, finances, fitness?and watch how that ?thermostat setting? drives you to either rise or cool back down. You will never exceed what you think you deserve, so set that thermostat high and surround yourself with people who challenge you to stay there. Key Takeaways: Focus only on what you can control, and let go of the rest. Protect your energy and show up with your best frequency. Set and maintain high standards?don?t settle for less. Surround yourself with people who push you to elevate. This is your moment. Max out your life, kick some butt, and live so that, at the end, you?re proud of every single choice.

Not just daydream about it, but truly romanticize it in the same way you might cherish a loved one. When you care deeply about something, you protect it, nurture it, and give it the attention it deserves. Today, I'm challenging you to approach your future this way?to fall in love with the life you want to create. When you do, the way you show up in the world changes. You start seeing opportunities that were always there, but now they stand out, clear as day. The difference between winning and losing, success and failure, often comes down to a few pivotal moments. These moments define us, and being ready for them is critical. Life?s big breaks don?t come with a warning?they arrive when you least expect them. That?s why preparation is everything. You can?t rely on luck. Instead, you need to be consistently ready for those moments that could change your life. In this episode, I dive into how our thoughts shape our reality and how holding onto positive thoughts for just 15 seconds can shift your energy and set you up for success. I?ll walk you through the concept of "thought stacking," where focusing on a thought for over a minute begins to reprogram your brain to notice opportunities that align with your goals. This isn?t just about thinking happy thoughts?it?s about creating a vibrational frequency that attracts the right people, opportunities, and circumstances into your life. I?m sharing strategies to interrupt negative patterns before they take root and how you can train your mind to stay focused on what you truly want, not what you fear.

When you care for your future like you care for someone you love, you?ll do whatever it takes to make it happen.

We?re talking about creating a future so compelling that you can?t help but fall in love with it?and in the process, becoming the best version of yourself. Key Takeaways: The difference between success and failure often comes down to a handful of moments. Holding a thought for over 15 seconds can shift your vibrational frequency, attracting what you desire. Thought stacking can help you reprogram your mind to focus on positive outcomes. Romanticizing your future helps you care for it in a way that makes success inevitable. Interrupting negative thought patterns before they take root is essential to maintaining focus and control. So here?s my challenge to you: Start romanticizing your future. Fall in love with the life you?re building, treat it with the same care you?d give to something or someone you deeply cherish. Remember, you were born to do something great, and someone out there needs the best version of you. Let?s make sure you?re ready for that moment when it comes.

What if I told you the key to changing your life is changing the meaning you attach to it? In this episode, I?m breaking down one of the most critical skills you can master to truly transform your life?attaching meaning to the events that happen to you. It?s not what happens that defines us, it?s how we frame it. The meaning you attach to the successes, failures, and everything in between, shapes your entire reality. This isn?t just a mindset shift; it?s how you reclaim control over your life. Think about the events in your life?trauma, missed opportunities, or even victories. What meaning have you attached to them? Have those meanings served you, or have they held you back? It?s time to take back the narrative. In today?s episode, I share personal stories, including how my dad reframed my losses in sports and taught me how to look for the good even in failure. That practice of finding the right meaning has been the key to much of my success. I?m also challenging you to reflect on how you?re framing meaning for others?your kids, your team, or even your spouse. Are you planting seeds of belief, or are you unintentionally teaching them to settle? Leaders and parents, the invisible ways you frame the world for others can have lifelong effects. It?s time to take this seriously. In moments of pressure, like making a crucial business decision or performing under stress, the meaning you attach to that moment determines how you perform. Attach the right meaning, and you reduce pressure. Attach the wrong one, and the weight can crush you. I coach top athletes and high performers on this, and today I?m giving you the same strategies. If you only take one thing from this episode, let it be this: Your obsessions become your possessions. What you focus on and how you frame it will determine what you manifest in your life. If you want better results, it?s time to start attaching better meanings. Key takeaways: How to reframe failure and setbacks into valuable lessons The importance of framing meaning for the people you lead How to reduce pressure by attaching the right meaning to high-stakes moments Questions to ask yourself to reframe events so they serve you Why your worldview and self-belief dictate what the world gives you This episode is about taking control of the stories you tell yourself and others. By mastering how you attach meaning to life?s events, you?ll unlock the power to shape your future, reduce stress, and lead with intention, whether in your business, family, or personal growth.
