The (real) reason why you’re stuck

You’ve heard that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I believe the definition of insanity is actually KNOWING WHAT TO DO and NOT DOING IT!

I talk to men every day who are stuck. They say, “I know what I have to do. I know I have to level up. But for some reason I just don’t.”

The reason you’re STUCK is because you’re COMFORTABLE.

There isn’t enough PAIN in order to push you to get things done.

How do you overcome being comfortable? You ask yourself who will suffer if you don’t do what you NEED to do? Who will pay the price if you aren’t willing to get uncomfortable?

If you’re only thinking about yourself, you’re always going to be comfortable. Or, to be more specific, if you’re only thinking about YOURSELF in this moment, you’re going to be comfortable.

The moment you take your eyes off yourself, and realize that your lack of discipline, consistency, and action is going to be what makes someone else suffer. 

Every day, you have 2 choices:

You can stay in the same place…

Or you can do what you KNOW you NEED to do and EXPAND

You can say you don’t have time, or energy, or training to level up.

But that’s just a lie you tell yourself.

Because the TRUTH is that you’re AFRAID.

AFRAID to be uncomfortable. 

You tell yourself that it’s not that bad. Things are comfortable, there’s no need to change them.

Then life does what it always does… life PUNCHES YOU IN THE FACE and you take action immediately.

Why wait? Why wait until life punches you in the face and instead why don’t you strike first?

Don’t wait until pain comes into your life. Don’t wait until your wife asks for a divorce, or the bills get so high you can’t pay them, or the doctor tells you something you never want to hear, or you feel empty without purpose… take action NOW!

Dig the well before you’re thirsty.

Put in the work before you need to. That’s the secret to sharpening your EDGE is to not wait until you lose the edge.

Mastery requires discipline. To put in the work when you don’t need to. To sharpen your edge when you don’t you need to.

Do something today that takes you out of your comfort zone.

Push yourself in your business, your marriage, your fitness, or your connection with God.

Whatever you do today, you ALREADY KNOW what you have to do…do MORE of it today than you did yesterday.

Sharpen your edge. Don’t stay comfortable. Get 1% better every day.

Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing. You can’t control anyone else.

Your only competition is YOU vs. YOU. 

Who you were YESTERDAY vs. who you will be TOMORROW.

Life is always going to give you what you need TODAY to be better tomorrow.

How to Compound Time and Get Results in 2023

Compounding is a powerful investment tool that involves getting a return on your original investment and the returns on your previous returns. For compounding to work, you need to reinvest your returns back into your account. Invest in your most valuable asset: your energy. When you withdraw the energy rather than reinvest it, you lose out. Every day, you need to reinvest your returns so it compounds.

This video will show you 6 ways to compound time and get results by setting goals 100 days at a time and reinvesting the personal gains to get more done in 100 days than the average man does in a year.
Tough times separate the winners from the WHINERS! That’s what recessions do: they separate winners from losers. Winners will win under any circumstances. Whiners will find any excuse to become a victim of their circumstances. They make excuses and hope someone will come to save them.
