Says be calm when things get hectic, stay calm and say all is well, everything is working out for my highest good. Only good will come out of this situation. Then she says I am safe. Wow, I think that is powerful.
I am a Christain, and I think it is good to pray this and then say this in your life. I think this is really a powerful concept, especially with prayer.

Start where you are, and try to become better. So many people want to go so hard at things they burn out. Find little things like the things mentioned here and start adding little things you could do better and add more later.
Try waking up 10 minutes earlier at first. Then later try for an hour or more. Find a way to make a small improvement. Like waking up 10 minutes earlier, and you might even try to go to bed earlier. Start noticing your patterns. Not just sleep but things you could do better. Then start making some changes in your daily life. Doing positive things effects your mindset and even your energy. It is powerful if you get it right.

Learning to think and becoming better!* Get around people and places that challenge us to be more, and continually learning everyday makes a difference. Don’t turn away, turn towards the good pain and decide your going to win. Here is the question what do I need to know to win and how can I take action on it?
* Small consistent action all day every day is better sometimes than big accomplishments. Stop focusing so much on big things start focusing on the days you can make great by doing a lot of small things consistantly.
* Try to make something better Today, wake up 10 minutes earlier, do something a little better in several areas Today. Make a mental note, I will do this and this better tomorrow in a small way. If your days are 6’s how can you make them 9’s everyday? WOW ! what a difference it will make if you practice this everyday.
* Help others, who are you accountable too? The more you give in the right way in your life the more you will be filled up. When people think of you do they think oh there is a grouch or no I don’t want to ask them? Be the type of person that is in service to others, make yourself more valuable by being that person that people can count on and it starts with you doing simple habits every day. Don’t start out fast, start really slow and start mastering what you do every day in a small way. Tell yourself Tomorrow is going to be better because I’m going to do __________. Then fill in the blank.

Lets take your goals for a minute. What are they?
Examples:
Maybe it is to be a millionaire.
Teacher
Relator
Be in good shape with six-pack abs.
Have lots of cardio and energy.
Imagine your dreams are possible for a minute, you must believe to have a better shot of reaching them. It is like wanting to run a mile when you don’t believe you can; it will probably be very hard. How are some ways you may reach those goals?
Let’s use some of the examples I’ve listed above.
To be a Millionaire, you may have to be willing to invest your time, energy, and money and find things that have a profit margin. So let’s say you look into real estate, options trading, starting your unique niche business selling widgets. Where is the demand is the question? Maybe it is in the service business; you are in construction, so you look at building quality homes and more than reasonable prices and finding help to help you scale the business. Whatever that dream is, whether it is being a millionaire or just being out of debt, write down some things you want to achieve.
I want you to write down what you think may achieve it. I want you to imagine the outcome of whatever you want to achieve. Imagine what all you need to do, and see it is already done. Now the question is do you think you would have accomplished your goal? You can project yourself on things just like this, and use your imagination to inspire and creatively think about what you might do.
Right now, in this day and time, with everything going on, it is probably wise to have six months saved of your salary. If you cannot do that, at least try to get to 5000 or so dollars to have a little cushion.
After you have saved six months of your income, it might be time to open yourself up to your dreams and become a little vulnerable. If you never step out, you will never win. It is important to open up and try new things sometimes even if you lose because in the long run, you will need to have opened up to truly have lived.

Taking some time in the morning to meditate before getting going or before going to bed.
Getting enough sleep, hopefully, 7 hours or more.
Trying to get more air when you sleep. I have found when I have more airflow I sleep better. Maybe looking up something you can do to get better sleep.
Setting your alarm clock at least 1 hour earlier.
Fina a way to manage your time better. Get to the point you can almost mange every moment, and get productive early it will pay dividends.
Start trying to be consistent with what you’re doing. If you are not going to maintain it, it may not work.
Copy success, what works in different areas in your life. Find the formula. Know what your good at and what your not.
Be real with yourself, are you giving what you should? Dong your best?
Don’t waste your time complaining. It doesn’t do any good find a way to turn a negative into a learning experience or something positive. Save your breath. Take the time to listen to me on this complaining will make you feel bad.

Take action, you could be anything for you that you are dreading or something that seems so overwhelming the key sometimes is as soon as you find out there is something like that attack it by taking action. Sometimes it may be a lot of projects or things you have to do and some you don’t know how to start get the main one out of the way. The one that is most important.
Key is to take action you may not be able to completely take care of it completely maybe it is a project that will go on for awhile. When you notice that your stressed about something take immediate action and do more and take more action it will make you feel better. Sometimes it is that uncertainty of a situation when we take charge and take a lot of action and put in a lot more work because it trips our stress meter the stress fades and what shows up in its place is satisfacation. Fear turned on itself by hard work and preparation will turn into confidence.

Don’t waste your time being offended at most stuff. I’ve said it before, but a lot of things don’t matter. One thing that does matter is wasting your time on something that makes you upset that you cannot do anything about. Wasting your time being angry or not in a productive mindset matters. If there is something to learn hey that is one thing but if someone is just acting bad either deal with it or get away from it.

Organizing your day on what will be done even before the day gets here is smart. I’ve spent some time talking about making a list in the day your in. Some people use their calendars what about getting good enough at it that you can schedule a day or two out.
I just wanted you to think about that point about organizing another day before it gets here. Sometimes we get where we are only thinking about the day of, and maybe you would have some better success thinking further.
The next point one of the first things to learn is realizing you don’t know everything in the area you are working at, and you need some help.
As long as you think you got this, you cannot learn as much from others. The very fact that you can admit to yourself that you don’t know means you may be open to research and more knowledge, which is good.
Now find someone or something to help you get more information that will help you win.
Something to consider what is the smart people doing that gets results?
You don’t want to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes you want to copy the wheel and find a way to make it better in an area.

Instead of thinking negative things, and sometimes even worse saying negative things, prepare for the negative things and don’t speak them.
I heard it said that negative things spoken can be seven times more powerful than saying positive things. So what does this mean?
Stop saying negative things. Sometimes we cannot control the thoughts that go through our head. Sometimes bad things do happen, so what can we do?

Short Interest as a % of Market Cap
The short interest as a percentage of cap of the S&P 500 is low and sinking, which makes sense given the huge rally. Still, the steady decline in short interest speaks to the developing sentiment imbalance developing.
Apple up 120% since March lows.
A surprisingly high 1.1M people filed for unemployment last week. The week before, jobless claims dropped to below 1M. Stocks ticked up despite the bummer.
The value of the dollar has fallen to its lowest level in over two years, and it might keep sliding.
Fed money printer: The Fed has been blasting out dollars to inject back into the economy. More dollars = less demand for dollars = less valuable dollars.
Instability: An out-of-control pandemic, shrinking GDP, and political instability have affected confidence in the dollar. Oh, and the national debt is at a massive $27T.

It is a great day because I get to work through my problems. I get to face them, write them down, reconstruct them into something better. Maybe not perfect, but something better.
I don’t have to think like everyone else. Face what you need to do head-on. Try to become better to rise above where you’re at. Use the pressure; don’t let the pressure use you.
I get to challenge the way I think about things. Can I see them differently? You know often inventors, innovators, didn’t think like everyone else. How can I reconstruct the problem to find a better answer?

Be truthful, give credit where it is due, and call things the way they are. Being honest when it seems like some people are not may seem like it makes you more vulnerable. What you will find is that people bend the truth sometimes and don’t want to face the music and are taking shortcuts. It is not easy sometimes, and some just rather not deal with it. Be honest and it will be known of you.

Their may be something that is bothering you can you recognize it?
Sometimes we may never speak something that is bothering us. Does that mean it does not bother us? Start to recognize the patterns you have. That is, if something keeps coming back up, it may be something you need to ask why is this happening? Some people say they are not worried about something, but it keeps coming back up in their minds. So what can you do? Little and big things spoken and unspoken begin to recognize when there are things that keep coming up in your mind. Then decide what you will do about those things rather than just worry about them. Sometimes a simple right action may get rid of those thoughts. If you can do those things, you need to do now so you can move on and not worry you. If you cannot deal with them now, write down in a well-known place when and how you will take care of this. At the very least, decide on what you will do.

I want to talk about several points that may help you with communicating with other people.
Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/entrefied)
Pay attention to your ideas, write those down don’t ignore them. Set a time to go over your thoughts and the things you have written down. Could be plans, could be just a random thought but write it down.
Take some time to consider what you want to do and then take action on what you think you need to do with the idea. So many people think to much and do to little. Not a mind-blowing effort, not perfection, just do something.
Control your mindset, I have talked about this before, but you really need to start doing this. You need to find a way to put yourself in a good place before you get started every day and recognize the things that can jeopardize an excellent mindset and guard against certain things. Those situations with people that anger you or those things that put you in a bad mood. Sometimes you can avoid the situations other times you have to start to look at situations differently. I’ve started looking things more logical lately and realizing I can only do what I can do, and then sometimes I have to separate myself from the situations.
Talking for a moment about what makes your day. You know the only person that can tell you that you. You have to not only know what you need to do but do it every day.
I want to talk to you about intentional thoughts that are positive. We cannot always control our thoughts in our minds. So here is what we can do. Start to think about the thoughts that make you creative and great.
If you’re going through something tough, what can you think that will make you more productive? I can do it; I’m a survivor. I will make the best of this. I’m getting better every day. Practice thinking the thoughts you need to think to make you the best you possible. I’m learning!

Every day you get so much time, and you don’t need to waste it. You need to focus on what you need to be doing at this moment and the moments to come. I’ve mentioned before about how to focus on what you need to be doing right now. Some are listed below.

Get around people that make you uncomfortable with your success. It doesn’t have to always be about money. It could be something they do well, maybe you model some successful traits and grow yourself. Find something that motivates you to be better.
Find something to motivate you. This is where the juice is. I was recently watching a show about the Chicago Bulls, and it was talking about how Michael Jordan used to find a way to always keep himself motivated. How he continually challenged himself, and it leads you to believe he was always looking for that next challenge to rise too. I want to challenge you ever day to look for something that challenges you.
Don’t think you have to feel like doing something to do it. I’ve mentioned this before well intentions without actions sometimes are just nice thoughts. They don’t bare the fruit of significant actions. Even if you don’t do something great and you only done it well, you did it. It will yield more than just a thought.

Last week the market chugged higher. This is the second-highest weekly close ever in the S&P 500. Really take a moment to let that soak in. Plus, we have a streak of 6 straight higher closes.
Top Stories of last week
Uber
· Ride-share bookings plunged 73%, significantly worse than expected. Uber did 737M trips, less than half the 1.7B from the same quarter last year. But...
· Delivery bookings surged 113% on demand for Eats. Uber made more than double from Eats than it did from Rides. Food delivery was the perfect yin to ride-sharing's pandemic yang.
Hungry for acquisitions... Uber lost $1.8B last quarter, which sounds pretty bad — but it's better than the $5.2B it lost during Q2 of last year. Uber slashed costs by sadly laying off 14% of its workforce (~3.7K employees).
AMAZON
· Amazon is in discussions with mall-owner Simon Property Group about using some closed J.C. Penney and Sears stores for Amazon fulfillment centers, The Wall Street Journal said on Sunday.
· The Wall Street Journal said it’s unclear how many of the stores inside Simon malls are under consideration.
· The Sears and J.C. Penney locations could give Amazon more fulfillment center space, closer to customers, where delivery drivers could come unload and pick up packages.

Our Guest Dr. Ryan Gottfredson is here to talk about mindset and how it can positively change your life on a whole new level.
Ryan Gottfredson, PhD., is a mental success coach and cutting-edge leadership consultant, author, trainer, and researcher. He helps improve organizations, leaders, teams, and employees by improving their mindsets.
We ask Dr. Ryan what he has in the works and what value he is providing for people with his programs.
Four sets of mindsets
2. Open and Closed Mindsets – Are there necessary times to have these?
3. Prevention and Promotion Mindsets – Can you change this?
4. Inward and Outward Mindsets – This seems like selfishness
Discussion session – Jeff (Co-host) and I will ask a series of discussion questions around mindset and provide different scenarios.
Isn’t being an entrepreneur about going against the grain and fighting social conformity?
Wouldn’t you have to be closed-minded to some extent here?
Aggressive mindset vs passive mindset.
Learn more about Dr. Ryan and take his mindset assessment here.And don't forget to pick up your copy of Dr. Ryan's new book,here.
What’s the most life-changing book Dr. Ryan has read?It's actually a journal: Gratitude Journal: Journal 5 minutes a day to develop gratitude, mindfulness, and productivity: 90 Days of daily practice, spending five minutes to cultivate happiness

We help you create success by adding value to other people’s lives and situations by taking action, challenging possibilities, and making logical choices towards your goals and dreams in order to achieve that Next Step.
With times like these, a lot of people are losing their incomes. People can’t work and earn anymore. This is where your passive investments and cash flow should come in to save the day.
Ever since this pandemic, I’ve been getting nonstop calls and texts about my advice on the best investments and ways to grow passive income. It’s not easy but I’m happy to see people are realizing that passive income and secondary sources of income are necessary.
Our goal these next few weeks is to bring on guests that are overcoming the current pandemic and finding opportunities to grow through it. We are focusing on helping people overcome this adversity and come out stronger.
MAIN POINT – One source of income will destroy you. Always have multiple. Whether it be passive or active, you need to create wealth.
ACTION STEPS – Write out 5 news ways to create secondary income.

Entrefied is here to impact the world by removing the traditional limitations that have been placed on society in the work environment.
Oftentimes we work our butts off but we don’t know why. What is your end goal? Why are you working? Mexican fisherman story. “Though no one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending.”
I used to work full time, go to college full time, and military on the weekends. I was collecting as much money as possible. Buying whatever I wanted, but I still wasn’t happy. I identified 2 things that make me happy. #1 Family and #2 Control.
MAIN POINT – With times like this where your business may be failing or your income may be gone or cut in half from your job, take it as a time to reflect. Take these moments and identify where the end zone is. Where do you want to go and what do you want? Money is hardly ever the answer. Money is just a piece of paper that gets you what you desire so make sure you know what that is first. Do you desire a yacht? Then you need a business or massively lucrative investments, a job won’t get you there.
ACTION STEPS – Identify what makes you happy and what you should be pursuing.

Create everlasting success
Make your content evergreen and everlasting. Look at musicians, businesses, and authors. They create something that lasts forever. The Bible is the oldest written book and it keeps getting rewritten in newer versions, but the core content is the same.
I work to make sure these podcast episodes are usable for years to come. Specifically telling people to get this or that only works in the short term. Make something everlasting and awesome. Not the next trend or fad.
The goal for the next 60 episodes is to rewrite and redefine the process for episodes. Adding new interview guests, new episode segments, and tweaking some small things.
MAIN POINT – Make content that lasts. Not just some hot topic. 20 years from now, people won’t be talking about how to operate a cd player or cassette tape is clearly obsolete in today's society and will likely never be brought up but writing about how to Think and Grow Rich still lives on.
ACTION STEPS – Create something that will last forever.

Doing the hard work upfront builds momentum and motivation. Once you squash the elephant in the room, it’s a lot easier to move around and knock out the small stuff.
I always floss before I brush. Why? Because flossing sucks and is boring but it’s very important. I have a bridge and that requires a special floss and I have to floss twice which is twice as bad! But if I always floss first, the brushing is so much easier.
Taking care of difficult stuff makes you feel better and more energized. This will give you momentum and help you knock out those smaller tasks and then you can sit back and enjoy the rest of your day!
ACTION STEPS – Identify the elephant in the room you may be avoiding. Knock it out.

Oftentimes we only do things 90% of the way. This causes later regrets and issues in life. We make it to a certain point to where we needed that task completed 100% but because we fell short, we’re having to backtrack
I find myself only going 90% of the way on certain tasks and then having to circle back. I was doing laundry the other day and I noticed that I walk back and forth probably 10 times. I reevaluated my process and realized that if I just organize everything and then disseminate it, I can speed the process up considerably.
Stop doing a task halfway. It creates more work in the long run. If you focus on knocking out the task and you give 100% focus at the moment, you will not have to look back
ACTION STEPS – What have you done 90% of the way today? Go back and 100% it.

You can learn from anything
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve learned a lesson from the weirdest places. It’s like the Karate Kid movies where Mr. Miyagi is making Daniel do weird things like wash the windows and floors, yet he derives a lesson from these tasks.
I think the weirdest situation that ever taught me a lesson was when I was sitting on a log in Georgia. I was at Fort Benning at basic training in 2012, looking at my friend, Reyes. I learned that no matter how bad life gets, you can bounce back.
Look at all experiences as a lesson to be learned. Flat tire? Learn patience and preparedness. Broke? Learn your lesson about spending too much.
ACTION STEPS – Look at a struggle or high in your life and find a lesson buried in it.

There is always room to grow
I spend a lot of time reading and learning to fill my jar full. What’s funny is when I think that I’ve filled it, I notice there is always something else that can fit into my life.
Stay humble and keep learning. Growth is necessary to becoming a better, more complete person. It’s important to continually practice your crafts.

Change is good
90 out of 90 episodes recorded! I can’t believe we dropped 90 episodes in 90 days without missing a single one. It’s a lot of work, commitment, and dedication. I attribute it to all the listeners and supporters!
I am enrolled in a 6-week leadership course and I won’t be finished until April the 7th. This course is super difficult and even worth 9 college credits. Taking on new challenges and finding new ways to grow is always exciting and I recommend it to everyone!
I have made the decision to cut the show back to 5 episodes a week, Mon – Fri as this is when people are commuting and looking for fresh content. I am doing this for 2 reasons.
1 – I am struggling to juggle this and my 6-week leadership course. It’s really hard and I feel the content is slipping.
2 – I want to utilize the weekend to grow the show and find more awesome guests to provide some fresh perspectives.
There is nothing wrong with making changes. It’s often a great idea to provide a breath of fresh air. This creates new motivation and opportunities for you in life and in business.

It’s important to take time for yourself. We are always giving other people our time and money yet rarely giving it to ourselves even though we created it!
I take 5 minutes every morning and night to sit and reflect on life. I unplug from everywhere and everything.
This mindfulness and time will unlock new perspectives into your world. This will enable you to overcome obstacles and have a clear picture of what you want.
ACTION STEPS – Take 5 minutes in your day and set a timer. Don’t do anything but sit there and enjoy the quiet time alone. Separate yourself from everything and think deeply about whatever comes to mind.

Everyday, remind yourself that you are amazing, but you still have a long way to go. Know that there is always someone better than you and that person is yourself. Always compare you to you and only you. This will keep you humble.
I constantly am comparing myself to myself. I have a gratitude journal that I read each day and I write down how I could have done better than I did yesterday.
You can always improve something. Don’t think you are too good or you can be complacent because you have been successful in the past.
ACTION STEPS – “Success is never owned. It is only rented, and the rent is due every day.” Vaden says that to fully ingrain this principle. Simply replace the word success with whatever is important to you.

You may see something one way and I see it another. Oftentimes it's due to our upbringing. Someone in Africa will have a different viewpoint than someone in America. It’s important to realize that we all have experienced different walks of life and no one way is better than the other.
I grew up in a small town in TN. People believe hard in guns, tobacco, alcohol, big trucks, killing animals. Someone from Nashville may believe completely opposite.
Don’t be ignorant to other people because they disagree with you. Try to see where they are coming from and work with them to share both sides of experiences to reach new understanding and be open-minded.
ACTION STEPS – What is something you are ignorant about?

The bigger your ego, the more you turn people away. Having a big ego makes you appear arrogant and unapproachable. It’s easy to feel like a big deal when you are successful but remember that you have a long way to go.
I have had times where I try to 1 up people or make it about me because of my insecurities and ego.
Don’t let your success hurt you. By feeing that ego, you make yourself a lot more unapproachable and people will avoid you even though you are very successful. Be humble and remind yourself
ACTION STEPS – Check your ego. Is it too big?

It’s very difficult to give feedback and even harder to receive it without becoming defensive. No one wants to hear that they suck, and it really deflates that ego. You must look at it as constructive because a lot of people have bad tendencies.
I am in a 6-week, 192-hour leadership course and I must evaluate 32 people face to face. It’s tough.
Growing as a person and giving feedback is hard. Most of the time we are forced to give feedback or hate giving it, but it should be a more normal process in our work environment. It may hurt at first, but it will eventually make you better.

Oftentimes we work hard and get nothing in return. I don’t like that, and I bet you don’t either. Are you rewarding your employees? If you are a leader, you need to be constantly showing appreciation and giving awards to keep morale high.
One of the biggest morale boosts for me was a few months ago I was at an Air Force base and the Commander really liked me, so he allowed me to meet a 4-star general and get coined by him.
Morale is your job as a leader. Keeping your people happy and excited to come to work for you each day. Giving each employee hope and morale will spur your sales, growth, and productivity beyond what was conceived as possible.

The reason you don’t start that business or create another source of revenue is not that it's too hard or whatever other excuses you lined up. It’s because you haven’t made it a priority. When crap hits the fan, priorities pop up quickly.
When my fiancé complains about trash or laundry, it becomes a top priority ASAP. I did have time to do it earlier, but I put it off and didn’t make it a top priority. Now it is and now I get it done.
You need to prioritize your life. Select what needs to be done and when. It’s very important that we prioritize what needs to be done so we can maximize efficiency.

Niching down is extremely important when you are smaller. A small business will want to focus on a specific product or service and master it. That 1, 2 combos will get you into the big leagues, where you can learn some new tricks. Look at Amazon. It started out as an online bookstore and now it has everything.
I used to jump from idea to idea like a squirrel but then I realized that ideas are easy to create but extremely difficult to bring to fruition. You must FOCUS. = follow one course.
Our Direction – We have some really exciting new guests coming up. Day 80 out of 90 of the podcasts every single day challenge. Stick around for episode 90. We will be making some changes. Some big, some small.
FOCUS. Select one niche, such as books online, or perhaps daybeds, something that is niche and that you can master. Then big brands will either buy you out or you can scale. Furniture was one thing I did well.
ACTION STEPS – What is your business FOCUS? If you are small, are you monogamous? If you are large, are you polygamous?

It’s okay to build on other people’s platforms starting out. It’s like being the show opener band for a much larger headliner band. Eventually, you want to become the headliner.
I have put a lot of content on Medium and build a few followers on social media but I always lead them to email lists, my podcast, or some other property that I own and have full control over.

So many people today are complaining about the income gap. People live in fear and cling onto their money like it’s going out of style. Money is scarce for so many people. Hardly anyone has an abundance mentality.
I have had an abundance of mind for years. I spend money on investments and sometimes they go under, but I make my money back and then some on my next investment.
There are so many ways to generate wealth in today's society. It’s easier than ever. The stock market is the highest its ever been, unemployment super low, and the abundance of opportunities in the world are unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

All of these online guys trying to herd you into a program where you create a product then sell it on Amazon or make Kindle books and spam them, it’s disgusting.
I have paid thousands of dollars on these guys and their courses and they are absolute trash.
Don’t look for "get rich quick" schemes that are only pertinent in the here and now. It’s like someone giving you a fish vs teaching a man to fish.
ACTION STEPS – Ignore anyone that says getting rich quick is possible. Even if you do get rich quick, you won’t keep it very long.
Instead, focus on getting rich in a smart way. As you become financially smarter, you'll then get rich quicker.

If you’re ever the smartest person in a room full of people, leave it. Fish bigger than the pond can’t swim in it. You’ll become stagnant and irrelevant if you spend too much time in a position without growth.
I remind myself every single day that I am a master of nothing. I constantly am finding areas that I need to improve and then looking for resources to improve in that area. Find your weakness and work on it.
Even if you are the greatest in the world at something, if you stop practicing and become stagnant, someone will eventually keep improving and overtake you.
ACTION STEP – Pull out a sticky note or notepad and write down what you’ve 100% mastered and that you don’t need to work on it anymore.

In a study conducted last year, 78% of US workers live paycheck to paycheck.
This is a very scary statistic. Many Americans live paycheck to paycheck and have only 1 income source. Once your well runs dry, it’s over. We saw this with many Americans during the government shutdown last January.
When you build multiple income streams, they combine to make a river, which then leads to an ocean of wealth. I have built an income stream with websites, stocks, and weekend military drills. I have created multiple flows over the years, such as college and real estate, and I constantly am looking for ways to increase income.
College, a better job, a more lucrative business, is extremely risky if you bet the farm on that 1 skill or product. If your business is 100% youtube ads and one day youtube says it’s over, then you are in a bad situation.

Retirement will kill you
Subscribe to the show and all the other subscribers thank you for listening
Retirement isn’t what everyone imagines. People imagine never working again and doing whatever they want but then when they get there, they don’t know what to do with all the time. This leads to depression caused by a lack of purpose.
I retired for 1 year when I was 24. I went on a cruise, went to the beach, and slept till 11 every day. Eventually, I’d stay up all night, afraid to go to sleep. I would be unable to get out of bed because I was so afraid to face the day. I had lost all purpose and all hope. I was in a bad place.
We all need community, people, and some type of work. Every single person needs a purpose and a mindset of retiring from business or work is not good to have. I will never retire, just work a little less, but I’ll still have meaningful work.
Identify your purpose. What is it?

Appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected. – Sun Tzu Art of War Ch. 6, Part 5.
In chess, if you ever start back peddling or playing defensive, you will lose.
Defense doesn’t win. It’s a playing safe strategy and playing safe will cost you more than playing offensively. You either win or you learn if you play offensively. If you play defensively, you lose, and you learn nothing.
Think of a situation in your life that you are playing defensively in. How can you offensively turn it around and find another way to strike at it?

There is a lot of crisis’s that go on each day. Some are larger than others, like the recent coronavirus. This affects you as an investor because people begin to sell like crazy over the news and not fundamentals, which creates a lot of discounts.
I find times, when there is a crisis going on, are good times to spot weaknesses and help people as well.
When a crisis arises like a coronavirus, we have the opportunity to spot weaknesses in sectors such as the medical sector, and a lot of the market overreacts, thus spurring opportunities to grow.
Look at SPCE, a company that is massively affected by the news.

People buy brands, not products.
Brandless pop-up in Los Angeles in 2018. Brandless Inc., direct-to-consumer personal care and packaged goods company are closing down. Brandless will stop taking orders and cut about 70 employees, less than two years after SoftBank Group Corp.'s Vision Fund said it would invest $240 million in the startup.
A company with no brand completely failed.
You need a brand. You always see these tv commercials for companies about their brand and what they offer. Coca Cola is everywhere because they realize people buy the brand, not really the product.
Look around you and count all the brands you see. Apple phone? Apple earbuds? Nike shoes? What brand are your clothes and handbag? The brand is all we care about.

When you act instead of reacting, it creates momentum which then spurs you into taking more and more action.
I live on the outskirts of Nashville and own a house here, and there isn’t a city trash pickup. I dread taking the trash off, it's so awful. I hate it but when I finally go take the trash off, I come back and clean the yard, I air my tires, boom, boom, boom, just knocking out everything with action on action on action.
All it takes is 1. Just start something and keep going while keeping a positive attitude. Realize that you are knocking out tasks and decluttering your mind.

Every time I speak, do interviews or put my neck out there, I get scared. It’s so scary to get up and speak in front of people. Volume, your body language, and tone are just small parts of all the functions happening while you’re speaking. Even when podcasting, it’s scary.
I have been doing a 90 day, record an episode everyday challenge with Jeff and we are on day 64, holy cow. I still get nervous before interviews, calls, and episodes. I put so much work into this and I am afraid I’m not trying hard enough.
You have to be vulnerable and real. Pretending like you have no fear or the fact that you have no weaknesses is a weakness.
