I read something a couple days ago that, as an influencer, I feel is important to share.

I’m sure it will trigger some of my readers and this will likely lead to unsubscribes. I’m completely okay with that because I believe it’s more important to take a stand for what you believe in than it is to try and appease everyone.

My blog post regarding my thoughts about George Floyd definitely sparked some anger and negativity towards me and I had some messages asking me to keep politics out of my message.

My message then and my message today has nothing to do with politics. It has everything to do with humanity.

So whether I offend you or not, I hope you understand that part of being open minded is being able to hear opposing viewpoints and not let it trigger you with anger.

I have a confession to make.

Over the past few weeks, since the Coronavirus has put us all on lockdown, I haven’t been myself. In some ways I’ve been better… I’ve produced more content, written more blogs, done more zoom events, and my personal development is up so I’ve certainly grown.

But I’ve seriously slacked off in one major area of life which is core to who I am. I’m fessing up today because my behavior has been completely unacceptable.

I’ve been a slacker when it comes to my fitness. Yes the gyms were closed for a while. But I have a decent little home gym so I really have no excuse. A few days ago I decided enough is enough and have been back at it slinging iron.

You might know what it’s like when you start hitting it hard in the gym after taking some time off? I’m insanely sore all over. In fact, I’m so sore today I thought to myself… I deserve a day off!

Just as I justify taking the day off, I realize that voice…

It’s the force of mediocrity attempting to keep me in shackles.

You see, my friend, we have two opposite and opposing forces within us.

Quick story:

I had a guy in my group years ago… he was very good on stage, an amazing closer, great at getting new people started and worked like a maniac.

This guy was a machine and he ended up hitting a pretty high rank in the company.

The challenge was, it was like he was on a treadmill…

People in his group would hit a certain rank… plateau and then start to fizzle out. But since he was so good at personal production, he could replace them. Only to see the next up and coming leader fizzle out as well.

The problem was pretty obvious…

When he was on stage, it was all about him. All about how much money HE made… All about the fancy car HE drove… all about how great of a leader HE was.

Believe it or not, he actually talked about himself in third person to edify himself. LOL

If anyone didn’t follow his system to the tee, he would chastise them publicly and if you didn’t recognize him on stage when you hit rank, he would disown you.

Unfortunately, he was hugely un-coachable and his ego had the best of him. No surprise, he needed to quit and join the MLM cycle of insanity hopping from deal to deal.

It was sad because he had all the talent in the world required to become a legend… but his ego simply couldn’t allow what is one of the biggest keys for going from being a good leader to a truly great leader.

I talked to my CPA yesterday…

Anything to do with taxes and accounting, for me, is like nails on a chalkboard. I know taxes are a necessary evil but I still resent having to take a portion of my hard earned money and give it away to the government to mis-spend.

It got me thinking about another tax we pay as entrepreneurs.

It’s called Success Tax but it works quite a bit differently.

How much longer?

Quick story:

I went to my first Tony Robbins event when I was broke. It was amazing and I loved every minute of it, even though it pushed me beyond my comfort zone many times.

Towards the end, he did a pitch for his Mastery University which was three more events for $10,000.

At the time, coming up with ten G’s seemed like the equivalent of climbing Mt Everest naked. NO Freaking way it was going to happen!

I really wanted to go.

But I just sat in the back. Watching all the go-getters head over to the table to get signed up.

Just like I watched all the go getters pass me up in network marketing.

I felt defeated.
