Welcome to the No Luck Added Podcast the #1 podcast for young entrepreneurs (young in business years) …. We’ve all heard the sayings pressure makes diamonds, and that’s true but on a more personal scale pressure reveals our character. It shows us who we truly are and it shows us who we need to become. Pressure is a gift without it there is no dream to achieve, no goal to reach for. Embrace the pressure. Let it shape you , let it mold you but don’t let it beat you.

I used to think that the longer you do something consistently that fear would no longer be a factor.. I was wrong, on my journey i realized that fear will always be present. As a matter of fact the fears become bigger but fear can be used in your favor, its doubt that will have you second guessing yourself. Its Doubt that will have you doubting God and the purpose God gave you.. Fear can be your friend but you have to wage war on doubt....

This year isn’t over. The race is not finished so don’t ease p now. Use the momentum you’ve gained this year to push you through the finish line. We have 11 days left, I know that doesn’t seem like a lot of time but your life can look totally different in 11 days. You can still accomplish that goal. You can still make that change. You can still turn a loss into a win but not if you ease up and allow the year to end without giving these last days all that you got RUN THROUGH THE LINE!!!
On this episode we get real practical and face the brutal facts that our timeframes may not be realistic. I know you want it now I know you are striving to make your dreams a reality and the fastest time you possibly can but don’t become a prisoner of your timeframes. Don’t be so committed to dates Ana’s deadlines that if it doesn’t happen in that time you give up

Welcome to the No Luck Added Podcast the #1 podcast for young entrepreneurs (young in business years) and wantrepreneurs who are tired of being wantrepreneuers.
One this episode we discussed the power of being in the NOW and respecting each day as they come. Sometimes are entrepreneurs we are so locked in that we become absent minded to anything thats going on outside of our businesses. we neglect family, health, and peace of mind all in pursuit of the DREAM. This is something that i struggle with but Im learning to take life one moment at a time. While I'm working I'm locked in but when the work is complete lock in on the other things that matter too

On todays episode of the NO LUCK ADDED PODCAST
We broke down the 3 reasons why our goals go unaccomplished
1 we don’t have an emotional attachment
Your goals should make you feel something
2 they are not written down
Your goals should be on paper and they should always be with you
3 you aren’t measuring them
We all know that our goals should be measurable but for some reason we don’t measure them. You should have a record of your journey to achieving your goals

Today we broke down the importance of not mixing your dreams with your logic because they don’t mix
Don’t get me wrong logic has its place but not while you are dreaming
Logic is good for creating a strategy, for planning , for thinking through your issues but Logic has no place in the dreaming process your dreams defy logic

Welcome to the No Luck Added Podcast the #1 podcast for young entrepreneurs (young in business years) on todays episode we are going to the art of hunting your goals
Alot of times we put all the emphasis on chasing down a goal that we forget to do the search
I realized that the top predators in nature do just see prey and chase it they search for prey then they lock in on it and chase it down we need to take the same approach in our business
Search within and really find what you are really chasing after.
We also discussed finding the right pace for the season you are in in business

On this episode we discuss living a life you won’t regret
I had a deep conversation with an OG this morning. The game he dropped on me really shook up my spirit and made me want to go even harder for my dreams.
The worst thing in the world is to live your life and then at the end of your life have regrets for not truly living your life!

Welcome to the No Luck Added Podcast the #1 podcast for young entrepreneurs (young in business years) on todays episode we are going to break down The Language of Possibility
There are two simple phrases that open the doors to possibility in your mind : “What if” and “why not” Too often we allow our minds to go down the rabbit hole of “what if “ this doesn’t work or “what if “ I can’t do it.. but when you turn that language around to WHAT IF I CAN What IF I DO your mind is now able to receive all that can and will go right

I know this isn't the sexy part of entrepreneurship but its one of the most important lessons I've learned. Your business can only go so far if your character isn't right . We all know what happens to buildings that are built off a shaky foundation. They eventually crumble and so will your business if you character isn't right

On this journey we can get so caught up in life and working that we forget to dream
We forget to visualize what’s to come 5,10 years from now
When we lose sight of the dream we lose hope and when we lose hope we lose faith and when we lose faith we lose the game!
Go back and dream again
Today is all we have tomorrow is a myth. There should never be a day that goes by that we don’t do something to further our dream. If you find yourself not paying your brick day in and day out I would question how bad you really want to win
We are always looking for that new thing or the next best thing and there’s nothing wrong with that but have you fully completed the now? Stop looking for answers when you already have the answer complete what’s undone
My entire adult life has been about unlearning and relearning. Everything that we were taught won’t always work depending on where you are in life. This year I learned a very valuable lesson. The direct approach isn’t always the best approach as a matter of fact the indirect approach can get you results the direct approach can’t
Thank you for listening to the NO LUCK ADDED Podcast the podcast for young entrepreneurs (young in business years). On this episode we break down the 3 asks that nobody really talks about . This isnt about sales or marketing or about scaling up. This concept goes deeper than all that stuff... Lock into this episode and watch your business boom!

If we are being truthful, there’s a constant tug of war going on in your brain. There’s a voice that’s telling you you can’t do it, give up, why try… And then there’s a voice of the winner in you telling you that you will succeed. These two voice are in a constant battle and if you don’t know how to effectively combat the bad voices they will grow stronger and eventually you will give in to them. On this episode I give you a strategy that has worked for me.. Patrick Bet- David video for entrepreneurs. https://www.patrickbetdavid.com/mental-battle/
One thing that most of us entrepreneurs struggle with is celebrating ourselves. If you are like me you rarely celebrate anything until you reach big milestones. I’m not saying that wrong or right but today I want to give you your flowers you’ve stepped into the arena and you have built something !
For as long as I can remember I wanted THAT thing, you know, that thing that the greats posses that thing that allows people to win and win again and again. It has many different names I call it winning. It’s a hell of a ride the things you have to get through in order to get a tiny taste of it will leave you scarred and bruised. It’s highly addicting and it’s fleeting but if you want to taste it again you have to be willing to go back through hell …
We are 2 weeks away from the 4th quarter of this year.. Your goals are literally right in front of you waiting for you to show up and take them. You put in the work for the past 9 months but its not time to slow down now its time to focus in and execute. This is a defining moment in your life, you will walk out of 2021 having accomplished every goal that you set out to accomplish in this year. Theres blood in the water BE A SHARK!
Today we break down the two skills that you need to be an entrepreneur (from my experience)
Sometimes you need that person in your life who can Loan you some perspective. Someone on the outside looking in who doesn’t have a dog in the fight who can get you back on track. Things are not always as they seem, to you things may be hectic, chaotic, or just plain crazy while others can tell that you are leveling up..
I’m learning more and more that What you don’t know is killing you. It’s literally stopping your from getting to the next level. On this episode I break down how I’m dealing with this problem in my own business and the steps that I’m taking to resolve them
I’ve been waiting two whole years to tell you this story and now I finally can. This episode will strengthen your faith In God and give you the courage to continue on your journey
I used to think that the longer you do something consistently that fear would no longer be a factor.. I was wrong, on my journey i realized that fear will always be present. As a matter of fact the fears become bigger but fear can be used in your favor, its doubt that will have you second guessing yourself. Its Doubt that will have you doubting God and the purpose God gave you.. Fear can be your friend but you have to wage war on doubt....

When was last time you spent time evaluating yourself and your business? when was the last time you sat down and you went over your week what you did right what you did wrong what you can improve on what you’re going to stop doing what you’re going to start doing and what you’re going to double down on. If you do not evaluate yourself in your business you are going to stay in a constant cycle of repeating the same results. And we all know as entrepreneurs if we continue to repeat the same results eventually we’re going to be obsolete. On this podcast we discuss a framework,a formula, on how to evaluate each week.
Its the simple things in life that have the most impact on our lives. One simple question can change the way you look and approach your life / business. On this episode i share with you a simple question that literally changed my life for the better....

on this episode we take time to reflect on our journeys so far.... Are we enjoying the ride? The twists the turns the ups the downs, all things considered are you enjoying the ride?
I’m so tired of people complaining about the life that they created. You chose this journey you knew it would be hard , you knew you would struggle so either suck it up or quit 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
This is from an instagram live i did today the information that i shared today will help you on your journey. No matter who you are or what business you are in there will come a time where you get stuck. these three things have helped me get unstuck in my life and in my business. I hope this helps..................... Follow me on instagram @noluckadded
i think we waste too much energy on proving people wrong instead let’s focus on proving ourselves right
everything effects us,every conversation, every relationship, every decision, but we have to ask ourselves is it okay.
Our thoughts and our actions must align. we can’t want to win while entertaining the thought of losing
do you know how much courage it takes to look in the eyes of uncertainty and still say
i’m going for this... give yourself some credit you’re courageous
The morning wake up call !! Grant Carson’s & David Shands interview https://youtu.be/JBZzHN62SpE
it’s very important that we constantly recalibrate and remind ourselves what we are pursuing in life. sometimes we get so consumed with the work that we forget the bigger picture of why we are working towards creating
what if the people you are comparing yourself to are actually less capable than you......
The odds may be stacked against you but who cares you’re the exception !!! —-This episode was inspired by ——steve harvey’s daily inspiration:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/daily-inspiration-the-steve-harvey-morning-show/id1405629617?i=1000506073647
on this episode we broke down the #1 key to forward progression. If you apply this one key i promise you, you will get the desired result that you are looking for. I’m not speaking from theory i have applied this information and gotten results from it
On this episode we get real practical and face the brutal facts that our timeframes may not be realistic. I know you want it now I know you are striving to make your dreams a reality and the fastest time you possibly can but don’t become a prisoner of your timeframes. Don’t be so committed to dates Ana’s deadlines that if it doesn’t happen in that time you give up
The tide has turned... I know this years has been rough. I know it’s been unusual but I just believe that in the 4th quarter things are about to change in an unusual way. Things are going to happen suddenly. Your life is about to be flipped upside down. Everything you loss is about to be reversed, those dreams and goals are coming to fruition in this 4th quarter. In this episode I give 4 steps on how to take advantage of the turning tide....
No matter where you find yourself on your journey the goal is progress each and everyday. There is always something standing in the way of your dreams and goals identify the pain points
Some days will feel like an uphill battle. Some people will take that as a sign to take it easy but those of us who understand the power of momentum won’t allow resistance to win...
Nothing is as easy as it seems..Everything takes longer than you expect... if anything can go wrong it will and at the worse possible time... -Murphy’s Law. Don’t get caught with your pants down
Don’t give in to the mindset that it’s too late for you. Don’t give in to the thoughts that you can’t do it or that it’s not working. This is a critical time in your life press through everything that’s thrown your way so you can get what’s rightfully yours
It’s easy to speak the things you want but most of the time when we speak those things we don’t think about what really comes with what we say we want. I want to be one of the greatest at...... but are you prepared to endure what the greats have endured ?? Be careful what you speak...You have the right to remain silent everything you say can and will be held against you..
It’s amazing how one tweak in our daily habits can change the trajectory of our entire lives. On this episode we discuss how to find your edge and how to stay consistent day in and day out
8 years in the military and out of all the many lessons I’ve learned this one may be the most important ...
10 years from now if you don’t quit and if you don’t stop building where will you be. I want you to take the time o really dig deep and experience what your future looks like. Who are you able to help? Where do you live? What do you drive? What have you accomplished? How has the dynamic of your family legacy changed? Today may not be the best of days. Tomorrow may not either but quoting won’t make it happen either. Your future is bright, focus on that
We have to get ahead of adversity. We can’t always be reactionary. We must train our minds and prepare ourselves for the battles that are attached to the goals and dreams we are chasing.....
On this episode I challenge us to check our commitment to the things we said we want in life.
I never get preachy on the podcast but I have to tell the truth. Gods plan is the only plan that leads to true success....
There are going to be times where things aren’t clicking. You can’t seem to find a win. These moments can lead to dark times in our lives but I want to offer you this perspective; What if those down times are just moments that test you to lead you to your best day....
This may be a twisted perspective but it has worked for me: whenever I set a goal I look at that goal as if it doesn’t believe in my ability to be obtain it. This perspective keeps me on my toes and allows me to push passed my best effort...
Every single decision you make costs you something. It may not be immediate but you feel the effects of every decision. Today we break down “opportunity cost” and how everything is costing you something...
All things in your life are working for your good, I know it’s hard to see that sometimes but all energy can be transferred into good energy. So whatever you are facing, whatever you are up against. USE IT !!
Optimism. Determination. Expectations.. this is how we set the tone for each and everyday. I just believe that we get out of life what we expect. Everyday won’t be easy of course but that goes without saying. However we have to set our sights on winning each day regardless of the things outside of our control... what if today was the day that everything you dreamed of became a reality. What if today is the day that the opportunity you’ve been waiting for comes. What if today is the day that you finally breakthrough. I don’t know what today may bring but I will tell you this it will be what you make it and I’m making it the best day of my life ! LETS GO
Too many times we think that if we just double down on effort we will get better results. While this may be true it is not a strategy and it will not work if your efforts are aimed in the wrong direction. Today I challenge you to really look over your progress look over your results and come up with a strategy that will help you obtain it the most effective and efficient way.....
Today we continue our series of “The Entrepreneurs Way”. On this episode we talk about detaching our emotions from our approaches to our goals and our dreams. We discuss my personal experience with learning how to become emotionally neutral when making decisions and coming up with strategies in business. This podcast may be the most important episode that I’ve ever done. Please share this episode and please leave a review.
Everyone’s fight is not the same. Your fight may be different than someone else’s but it’s important to commit to your fight so that our future is greater. God gave you a purpose for a reason. There’s a reason why certain things attract you, don’t ignore that feeling .. fight your fight
Be honest when’s the last time you spent some quality time with the dreams and goals you have. I know youve been putting in the work and that’s essential but when’s the last time you reconnected with what your dream really is? Today I spent some time mapping out the milestones I’m going to hit in pursuit of my dreams and it gave me a clean and clear look into where I’m heading in life. I think when we are pursuing a dream it can get a little foggy but when we reconnect with the dream out why and reason becomes clear to us again.
This is a throwback episode... I believe that we can achieve anything that our hearts desire IF we can get our mind to agree. In order to do that we must change the way we speak. If how we speak doesn’t match our desire we will never accomplish what we set out to accomplish .
THROWBACK: Put all your chips in . . . I believe God sends us signs and when I saw my leave request get rejected I felt it in my soul that it was a sign to go harder towards my dreams and my goal. . . I don’t like other people having the power to control my life or tell@me when I can and can’t spend time with my family . . I’m fired up like never before and I’m sooooo thankful for that moment cause I needed it . . We all need a wake up call every once and a while and that was mine. That day made me realize that’s it’s time to put all my chips in and make my dreams come alive .. . . . 🔑🔑🔑But here’s the caveat, I made a mistake on my leave request and that’s why it got rejected , either way it woke me up and now you’ll see a different Destri🔑🔑🔑
Over the weekend I had a very interesting conversation with a friend of mine about the will to succeed. Two different but interesting perspectives...
On this episode we get real about what’s going on in our lives right now. If you are feeling down, depressed or defeated this episode is dedicated to you
On this episode we talk about remembering that each day is about getting the small wins, but while you are building make sure that you aren’t tearing down at the same time by what you think and what you say....
If you listen to this podcast I know one thing about you; you have no problem with the hustle. You are a go getter and you get things done. The problem that we run into is that we lack flow. On this episode we break down how to create flow on our path to our goals
Motivation is a powerful source but it isn’t a reliable one. On today’s podcast we discuss 5 things to do when your motivation fails you.. you don’t want to miss this episode.
On today’s episode we dive deeper into the concept of deep work and why it’s important to not just have big dreams and goals but to also produce. Don’t allow the doubters and critics to be right. Let you work speak for you.
On today’s podcast I’m challenging you to do the deep work. To be more productive then you ever have. Eliminate all distractions and really lock in towards your goals and dreams
No matter how strong your day to day routine is there are times where we get side tracked. Before we know it it’s been days or weeks since we really locked in and gotten things done. We are human it happens to the best of us. Today we discuss a strategy that will help us all get back on track whenever we get side tracked
We all have one thing in common, we are all chasing something.. we are all trying to build something... in our pursuit we will all face difficulties and we will all feel like quitting. Sometimes it’s our fears and sometimes it’s the battle itself that knock us off our path. When this happens it’s important that we ask ourselves: why did we start down this path in the first place. What sparked the flame in us initially... if you can remember why you started and take that with you quitting will no longer be a option
While this pandemic we are in is very serious I am thankful for one thing in the midst of all of this.... I think we are realizing what our greatest resource is and what it has always been and that’s TIME.... no matter what you lost during these last couple of weeks you still have your greatest commodity TIME. I’m realizing more each day that the quote “time is money” is more true than I thought. Time is literally money in the sense that it can either be spent or invested... on this episode I challenge you to invest your time wisely because what you do with it will show once all of this ends.....
During this time your true colors will be exposed. The real you will be forced to show up. The real you will be forced to come to light. Who are you in the dark? Who are you when things go bad? Who are you when it doesn’t seem like you can win? Your true colors will be exposed and that’s either a good thing or a bad thing!
We are all facing opposition at this time. There isn’t a person n in the world who isn’t effected but there is always an opportunity in any opposition we face. On today’s episode we discuss the opportunities we have right now that will help us come out of this fight better than we came in !!!!
Fear is still the enemy for many of us and to be honest it will never fully go away. However to live in fear is a totally different thing. Fear will rob you of your peace, your dream, your happiness. Don’t let fear win
If you are not intentional about what you see, hear, and speak those things will work against you....
We live in a world now where it’s okay to set a goal and kind of reach it. It’s funny cause in some sick way we actually feel accomplished by saying we gave it our best shot. When in reality we didn’t, we stoped , we settled, we didn’t really do our best but nobody knows that but us. Today that mindset stops. When we set goals for here on out we will not stop until we reach them. We will not stop until we get the result we desire
On our journey and pursuit sometimes I think we focus on the outcome a little too much and not the daily wins. We worry if we are ever going to see the dream. We wonder if we will ever see success, almost as if it’s up to luck or chance... Like Dr Dennis Kimbro says “ success is a statistical event.” It’s not luck or chance it’s the accumulation of daily wins... so if you have ever questioned if you’ll make it rest assured that if you are doing what you need to do day in and day out over a period of time YOU WILL MAKE IT
Every day we wake up, we have an opportunity to turn the page in the book of our lives. Today is another page. Today is another opportunity to write your story, all we have is today, that’s it, that’s literally it. So my only question for you today is what are you writing on your page!?!?!?!
Sometimes progress isn’t sexy.. at times it can feel like you’ve actually taken steps in the wrong direction. The obstacles you face , the disappointments you endure can make you believe that you aren’t any closer to the goal than when you started. What I’ve realized on my journey that whenever more obstacles arise you’re actually closer to the goal than you think. When you give your goals and dreams your all and it feels like nothing is happening just beyond that wall is your greatest blessing. PUSH THE WALL you’re closer than you think
It’s almost 2020 and I know we have goals/ dream to chase and capture this year but understand one thing.. in order for you to achieve your goals and level up you are going to have to face some battles that seem impossible to overcome. Lace up your boots, put on your vest and your helmet and get ready for battle
Our emotions can blind us. They can make us believe things are better than they are when things are going well and they can make us believe everything is going wrong when we are down. On this episode I’m challenging US to check our energy, we have to stop getting so emotional. We have to stop having HIGH HIGHS and low lows. We need to try our best to keep that same energy no matter where we find ourselves in our lives
I don’t care who you are. You will have days where you want to quit. The emotion of quitting will be stronger than your will to keep going. On those days what’s going to stop you from quitting ?what parameters have you set up that literally won’t allow you to quit????
Habits are soooo powerful. They literally guide your day to day behavior whether you realize it or not. Usually when we talk habits we talk about changing the bad ones which is very important however what about enhancing the habits that are helping us be successful?
There’s levels to this thing we call faith but some of us will never experience it because we are too afraid to start with just a little bit of faith....
The next 90 days will be the best days of your life thus far... HERES WHY...... If this episode has helped please share this with someone I am trying my hardest to grow this community and I need your help . Also please leave a review.
This is the very first episode of my new entrepreneurial series called "this shhh aint easy" My mission with this series is to give you the no fluff no BS truth about entrepreneurship and my experience so far. This shhhh aint easy but its worth it trust me...
Sometimes in life it feels like it’s one thing after another. You get 5 steps ahead and get pushed back 6, you’re doing all the right things but it just seems like you can’t catch a break... . . I know first hand what that feels like, I remember getting paid and immediately my check was gone and my bank account was in the negatives. . . I remember those days where I didn’t know where our next meal was going to come from but the one thing that kept me hopeful was my intuition. . . It kept telling me that my best days were ahead of me and not behind me. . . So today I want you to tell your struggles ITS NOT OVER UNTIL I WIN . .
Thank you for listening to the empowerment zone podcast. On this episode we discuss the rhythm of gaining clarity and why it’s a good thing to be unclear at times. 🤯 you don’t want to miss this episode
When one thing is out of order in your life, everything suffers . It’s time to fix what’s out of order in our lives so we can end this year at our peak
When was the last time that you dreamed When was the last time you closed your eyes and really envisioned your life
Dreaming cost you nothing but not dreaming cost you your life
Have you ever cooked something that looked done on the outside but when you cut it it’s not done at all? Thats a metaphor for life, sometimes we think we are done or ready for the next level but we still aren’t done on the inside. Sometimes God has to put us back into the oven
Sometimes when you are in the valley and facing all times of adversity you may ask yourself “why is all this happening . Why is all hell breaking lose in my life.” You may not realize that you signed up for adversity when you signed up for your dream. So next time you say you want a goal or you put out a vision read the fine print!!!
The ability to maintain an activity or commitment despite fatigue, difficulty or adversity .....
Life is full of peaks and valleys. Ups and downs, success and disappointment. Many of us stay in the valley way too long because we feel we don’t have a choice. We feel like life is happening to us and there’s nothing we can do about it. But what if I told you that even when you are in the valley you can experience your peak??????
On this episode we dive deep into what it means to be in love with our dreams and the actions that must follow
On this episode we talk about how our patterns determine our trajectory. You don’t want to miss this one
In order for us to truly take form and become the diamond to the world we are supposed to be, we must get cut. It never feels good but it’s necessary if you want to win. You don’t get better through successes you get better through assessment
Aiming too low and hitting the target, what’s worse than that ? We have to have a bigger vision then the one we have right now , here’s why
On this episode we talk about the power of thinking BIG. Now I know you may be thinking “my goals and dreams are big” and they may be if you base it off of who you are now but if you base off of who you are becoming you may realize that your dream is too small!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
You can be the right person at the right time and still lose because you’re not in the right position 🤯 I had to learn this lesson the hard way 😑
You’re not crazy you’re just different . Act like you know. On this episode we talk about the signs that show you’re destined to be great.
Season 2 ep 13 I know it doesn’t look like it right now but you are actually living your dreams 🤯🤯🤯
While chasing your dreams you will look stupid but don’t trip keep you eyes on the prize. Keep building while they watch!! You look stupid! (For now) season 2 Ep 12
Season 2. .......Success has a best friend and I promise you if you don’t meet her and befriend her you are going to experience loss after loss on your journey (trust me I know from experience )
season 2 EP5.Why is it that we believe the negative narratives over the positive ones? Why is that positive voice in our heads so quiet. Often times it seems like it whispers, while the negative voice speaks loud and clear. “What if this doesn’t work?” “What if you fail” “what if? “....... “what if?” ....... the cycle never ends and eventually we give in to that voice. Today I’m challenging you to question yourself, when you question yourself (aka doubt yourself)......
Let’s be honest no matter how gifted your are or how brilliant you are, you did not create yourself. So I’m all honesty we don’t know exactly what we were put here for until that thing finds us. The funny thing is when that thing finds us (whatever it is) it’s usually outside of what we want or the vision we had for us which forces us to run from it because we don’t want to be stretched..........it’s time for us to get out of Gods pocket...
Season 2 ep 3 I’ve been on this full time entrepreneurial journey for a little over 30 days and nothing could have prepared me for the battles that I’ve had to fight in the last few weeks. This one thing we talk about on today’s episode will literally make and break you and it has nothing to do with your work ethic. I used to think as long as I work hard and learn how to work smart I will be successful. NOPE !!!not true at all. This one thing is literally the deciding factor . Listen carefully
It’s time to take a true look in the mirror and realize your problems aren’t the problem at all
We hear that failure is inevitable on our journey to our success , we hear that failure is our professor. But rarely are we taught them how to truly learn from the failures that we experience. On this podcast fwe talk about how to use failure and how to learn from failure .you don’t want to miss this episode.
It’s so easy to get discouraged on your path to whatever your goals are. But what I realized is that we often feed the negativity that comes with that discouragement. We ask ourselves all these a questions: can I do this? do I have what it takes ? instead of asking yourself those questions I want you to flip that and ask yourself these questions:
Often times we focus and obsess over the reward, end goal or result we desire. We obsess over it so much that we often minimalist the activity because the reward is taking up so much real estate in our heads. What happens if we obsess over the activity instead of the reward itself??
On this journey to your success your dreams or whatever it is that you are chasing you were going to feel the feeling of wanting to quit but is never all right to actually quit. We all feel the feeling of wanting to quit but quitting the action of quitting is a whole different ball game. I always feel like quitting but I NEVER, NEVER feel like quitting!
I think I’ve cracked the code on how we can live a happier life. Sometimes (as a matter of fact most of the time) our stress anxiety and depression is self inflicted. Meaning we are worrying and stressing about things that we can not control or change. After listening to this podcast you will feel a huge shift in your energy.
Let me take some stress off your shoulders. YOU ARE GOING TO WIN!! It’s just a matter of WHEN(time).
You know those days that seem like you just can’t win. Days where your energy seems to be low. Days where it seems like you just can’t break through. We call those days test days.
on this episode i interview the students of our program" within arms reach"
Must listen episode
What are you waiting on? Why are you waiting for your dream like it’s going to fall out the sky. Why are you waiting for your dream like it’s going to come to your your door like the mailman. Why are you waiting for it to come to you its not happening so go out there and go get what’s yours.
WARNING: This is going to hurt a little bit but I have to say this because I love y’all: if you did not put in the work don’t expect a result. Too many of us are expecting things we did not work for. . I used to be guilty of this. I used to think to my self “man when am I going to be break through” but the reality was I wasn’t putting in the work consistently, so it was never coming. I wasn’t sacrificing anything. I was watching every basketball game and football game. I was binge watching Netflix. I was coming home after work and chilling when I knew I should’ve been working on my DREAM. It’s a hard pill to swallow but I had to look at myself and be real with myself about the effort I was putting in. . . . We can’t control the results but there’s one thing I can guarantee if you dare to working for it it isn’t coming PERIOD and for those of you who have been putting in the work: sacrificing sleep, fun time , family time, spending hours beating at your craft the harvest is on the way. don’t be afraid to shine bright you worked for it !!!!!!
Why does it seem like we have faith in everything but ourselves. Every day we go out we start our car we have faith that it’s going to start right up. Every day we go to our jobs we work 40 hours a week and we have faith that our check will be there. So why is it so hard to have faith in yourself the way you have faith in the things in this world. Why is this so hard to truly believe in yourself 100% and bet on yourself?
I get it, we all want to be successful. We all want to be financially free in some form or fashion but step back for a moment and ask yourself HOW DO I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED . What am I going to leave behind for the next generation. How am I going to give my gift to this world. Don’t get me wrong, being successful is important nobody wants to be a failure but the most important thing is your contribution to this world. YOU WERE JOT MADE TO JUST EXIST. YOU WERE CREATED TO CREATE !!!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting more out of life. As a matter of fact we should always be striving for more, but the problem lies when we aren’t grateful for what we have now. God has giving us so much, we have to learn to be grateful for what we have now. I’m not telling you to be content but I am telling you that you should be in love what you have now because what you have now is everything that you need. . . You woke up this morning in a warm home ,you have water, food, and clothes to put on if nothing else you should be grateful just for that and for having the gift of life.. .
If you’ve listened to this podcast for more than a day you know I’m huge on setting expectations. I believe we get what we expect in life as long as we meet those expectations with our work ethic. On this podcast I’m challenging you to claim what’s yours.
Stop playing it safe. Stop holding back your effort and give everything that you got to your goals your dreams and your aspirations. Don’t be reserved let it all out you’re going to get what you put in so put your whole selfie cannonball into your destiny cannonball into your dreams cannonball into your goals
“You cannot perform in a manner that is inconsistent with the way you see yourself”-zig Ziglar . . . . Our biggest problem in life is not that we are unmotivated, lazy, or we just don’t have what it takes. The problem is how we see ourselves. .we constantly plant seeds of doubt and negativity into our lives and we wonder why we aren’t getting anywhere in life. . We have to see ourselves differently. . We have to stop defining ourselves by our past or our present and start defining ourselves based off of where we are going. . . . The power is yours 🖐🏿 . .
Which voice are you listening to? This week we continue our talk about self image. We delve into how the way we see ourselves dictates how we behave and ultimately what results we get. We all have a champion and a loser inside of us. Too often we listen to that losing voice ...
Today we continue our discussion self image. We have to see ourselves not as we are currently but as who we want to become. We should think , act, and talk the way our futures selves would... it’s time to recast the vision but this time not from where you are but from where you want to be 🤯
What if I told you the things you are going through right now are a sign that you are on to something ?
“You should take pride in feeling like you want to quit and not quitting “ - Andy Frisella
Does your words, thought and actions match the lifestyle that you say you want 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐 . . . . . I havent always been a positive thinker. As a matter of fact I’m pretty new to this. For 24 years of my life (I’m 27) I had a poverty mindset. Don’t get me wrong I’ve always had dreams but my thoughts , my words, and my behavior contradicted those dreams. . . Our words are powerful. The things we think say and do manifest. I was reaping negative thoughts because of all the negative seeds I had planted through my thoughts. . . I’m not saying that you’ll be positive 100% of the time that’s not possible. But it’s important to be conscious of the things you think say and act out. We have to stop negativity in its tracks before it takes root and grows into something (lifestyle)we don’t want
I want you to think about how far you’ve come in the last 1-3 years. Look at where you started now look where you are now. You made tremendous progress. You developed better habits, your work ethic was on point, you got rid of the old you and became a better version of yourself. All that is great and you need to give yourself credit. However I learned the hard way the things we did to get us here aren’t the same things that will get us to our new destination. In order for us to get there we need strategy.
On this episode we pay homepage to Martin Luther Ling Jr. we discuss his legacy and three things we can learn from it that will help us on our journey...
🛑STOP🛑 focusing on the when and focus on the what . . . . On this journey to your dreams and your goals it’s easy to get discouraged and impatient. It’s easy to try to rush things to try to rush the process. As we all know the process cannot be rushed, the only thing that we can do is focus on the building (the what). As my friend always tells me, if you build it they will come. So focus on the building today focus on the work that will make it happen!!
There are going to be days where it seems like it’s an uphill battle just to get out of bed. They are going to be days where you just feel outside of yourself and you don’t feel like doing anything . Some days you may feel as if you were in a slump and then you can’t get out of it. On today’s podcast I share with you how I get through slaps. Slumps or a natural part of the journey so don’t be discouraged just follow these for steps.
In 2019 I’m challenging you to stop using loser language. Just be very conscious of the words that you were speaking and the thoughts that you were thinking because those thoughts in those words can hold you back from your dreams and your goals. The words we say Kahree power. They can either subtract or add to our mindsets in our ambitions.
love yourself enough to be patient with yourself . Stop beating yourself up when you make a mistake. Stop talking down on yourself when you slip up. Stop critiquing yourself. Stop tearing yourself down . . . When we tear ourselves down we kill our self-esteem. We kill our confidence. And we kill our ambition and motivation to go after our dreams and goals. Don’t be so hard on yourself coach yourself up when you were down . . . I realize that the reason why I used to beat myself up so bad is because I didn’t believe that I was good enough. I didn’t believe that I deserve my goals and my dreams. I didn’t believe in myself so no matter what I did it wasn’t good enough. Don’t do that to yourself. It is counterproductive. It will stop you from growing and it will stop you from reaching your goals. stop it!!! .
do yourself a favor and get rid of people who are just taking up space in your life . . People who don’t add to you . . Don’t support you . . People who wouldn’t help you if you needed it. They’re just in your life to be there. They watch you struggle and they watch you build and never lend a hand. What are they around for???? . . Surround yourself with people who add to you , hold you accountable, and really have your best interest in mind. .
you are Gods greatest investment . . . I want you to think about this for a moment. How would you act, how would you think, how would you live your life if you knew in your heart and your mind that you were gods greatest investment? Just think about that today. I want you to know that every day you wake up God has invested in you and God is expecting a return on his investment. . . So take full advantage of the time God has allotted you today. Don’t put off until tomorrow and be a light to someone . .
Today is the day that you prove to yourself that your New Year’s resolution that you set wasn’t just a fluke. today is your day to prove to yourself that, that goal you wrote down wasn’t just something that you wrote down.today is the day to prove to yourself that you really want what you say you want. today is your day to go after it!!!!
This year was a great year for you . . . We all started this year with high expectations. We set goals, we made plans, and we were hopeful that 2018 would be our break through year. . . For some of us this year was everything we expected and for the rest of us it wasn’t ... regardless of how this year went for you, regualrdless of what transpired, I want to encouraged you to believe that this year was a great year for you. . . Everything may have feel apart but guess what , you learned. . . You may have feel flat on your face but guess what, you got back up. . . You may have set a goal and didn’t come any where near it, guess what, you grew and if you didn’t learn anything else you learned what not to do. . . People may have let you down this year but guess what, you learned to refine your circle. . . . You may have wen through hell this entire year, but guess what, you learned that you are more resilient than you thought . .
I think you get my point by now. No matter what happened this year 2018 was a great year for you . . .
You have felt the nudge all year and you still haven’t moved? You know you have gifts, you know you have potential, you know you have greatness inside but you are still flirting with it instead of pushing yourself to see what you are truly made of. As this year comes to a close we have to put to rest the mindset of flirting with our destiny. We have to get to the point where we court our destiny and embrace everything that God put inside of us.
Often time we feel accomplish when we go just above what the standard is. We feel as if we have done something great by our working the average. The real test of our greatest is determined by how we fair in a room filled with high performers. How does your work ethic measure up to those who are striving for greatness just like you???? The goal is never to be above average , it’s to be uncommon amongst uncommon people!!!
Often times we sell ourselves short by setting goals that are just out of our comfort zone but we still within our capacity. I truly believe we all have greatness inside of us but that means nothing if we don’t test our capacity so set the bar higher challenger yourself and see what you are truly made of !!!!
Man life is funny 😄 . When you don’t have goals and dreams it seems like everything goes smoothly but as soon as you set your mind to do something , life starts throwing punches at you. I used to look at this as a sign to retreat. I thought that was life’s way of telling me I’m on the wrong path but I realized that’s life’s way of testing you to see how bad you really want it. SO Don’t retreat 🏃🏽♂️FIGHT 👊🏽👊🏽!!!!
On this podcats we discuss why doing the hard thinvs up fromt will make your life a hell of alot easier down the road. If this podcast helps in anyway please share and leave a review it is greatfully appeeciated
Continuing our series about being purposefully placed its a must to discuss how our attitude effects our altitude. In other words you will never soar above the ceiling that you set with you attitude towards life. Its simple math , negative attiude will equal a negative life. But a positive attitude even in the face of terrible adversity will breed positive outcomes....
In this life there are things that are within our control and then there are things that are completely outside of our control. We may not be able to control every part of our journey but one thing that we can and must control is having a clear and conise goal, objective and vision for ourlives. Although things will happen that take you off the path you have for yourself , i can pormise uou that you will no where if you dont atleast have a road map to where you want to go. On this podcast we talked about how to gain clarity and how to get concise with what we truly want from our lives. This is a porcess that must be done conistently thourghout our journey.....
No matter what the day brings know that your footsteps are being ordered. You are being purposefully placed, there are some big opportunities and blessings coming your way but in order for you to receive you have to posture you’re self right and you have to attack each day with a certain level of intensity
For the longest I wanted to believe that I had no hate and no resentment towards my father. I acted like it never bothered me that he wasn’t there or that I didn’t need him or any other man to teach me the ropes of manhood . . . Just a year ago all the emotions of abandonment I had growing up came rushing back like a flood. All those years of burying how I truly felt finally caught up with me. I had to face myself and call my father. I had to forgive him and let go of all the resentment I had for my father. . . I knew I couldn’t run from this anymore. I knew I had to do it for my wife,and my kids. I had to do it for the youth that I serve. But most of all I HAD TO DO IT FOR ME IN ORDER TO BE FREE.
Its so easy to get caught up in the grind, chase, and pursuit of your dreams that you forget to take time to be grateful for what you have and how far God has brought you. Im guilty of this.. Sometimes i forget just how far God has brought me, the only thing that consumes my mind is my future. Its important we take a moment every day and just be grateful for the simple things like : life, health, functioning body parts, etc.... BE GRATEFUL it leads to abundance !!
Dont accept the labels people put on you, define yourself... references -- https://youtu.be/yGQnGQzlAmA
Things rarely go as planned and sometimes that can be discouraging, it can make you feel like giving up but I want to encourage you to continue to plant the seeds because I believe that one day you will reap the harvest.. . . Two years ago I told myself I would one day have a youth development program. I didn’t know how or when it was going to happen but I kept my head up and kept working. Now two years later we have the opportunity to pilot our program . The moral of the story is if you quit it will never happen , continue to sow . .
As ambitions people we can get so consumed with our dreams goals and grind that we neglect the things that are most important like : self care, family, friends, rest.... To all my grinders I encourage you to take time to take care of yourself this weekend... you deserve it
I’m a firm believer in following Gods plan for my life but if I’m being totally honest sometimes it seems like God isn’t with me on the journey. . Sometimes it feels like he has left me in the wilderness to figure things out for myself . . I’ve learned that those moments are intended to build your faith and while your faith is being built God is plowing your path so stay faithful and Don’t get discouraged. continue to follow Gods plan. He will never leave you nor forsake you. . I know first hand how hard it is to let go and let God drive but I also no that when I don’t I end up at the wrong destination . . The moral of the story is trust God in the wilderness. .
So y’all know I try to be as transparent as possible when I deliver a message I feel like anything short of transparency is cheating you. . . So I’m going to be real, I’m tired of this version of me, I just think about God and how much he’s blessed me and my family God deserves better from me . . I think about my wife and the sacrifices she makes in a. Daily basis , SHE DESERVES BETTER. . I think about my kids , THEY DESERVE BETTER and I think about you and the youth I serve YOU ALL DESERVE BETTER from me. . . This is my motivation to elevate my game and become that better version IM INSPIRED and I can’t wait to meet the new version of me. . . My only question to you is : who deserves better from you. Who do you need to become better for.
From this day forward i declare that we will live by a new motto-NO DOUBT-NO FEAR-NO REGRETS
Sometimes we can get so catch up on where we want to be that we forget where God has brought us from. We get infatuated with future success and future blessings that we overlook how blessed we are RIGHT now in this MOMENT. Today I challenge you to look back over your life, look back over the past year or two and 🤔 about how far you have come. Be grateful .
There was a time in my life where i was infactuated with my drems and goals but i wasnt putting in the work to obtain them. I wanted what it looked like but i didnt want what it felt like. Plainly put , my mouth was bigger than my grind. It was until i took my infactuation and added my desire that i started getting the results i wanted. Infactuation is short lived, it gets you started but its desire that sustains you....
Edgar Albert Guest- See it through When you’re up against a trouble, Meet it squarely, face to face; Lift your chin and set your shoulders, Plant your feet and take a brace. When it’s vain to try to dodge it, Do the best that you can do; You may fail, but you may conquer, See it through!
Black may be the clouds about you And your future may seem grim, But don’t let your nerve desert you; Keep yourself in fighting trim. If the worst is bound to happen, Spite of all that you can do, Running from it will not save you, See it through!
Even hope may seem but futile, When with troubles you’re beset, But remember you are facing Just what other men have met. You may fail, but fall still fighting; Don’t give up, whate’er you do; Eyes front, head high to the finish. See it through!
Picture yourself as a pitcher on a mound. Your only goal and your only focus is to get that first strike. You focus all your energy and all your effort on getting that one strike because that one strike will lead to the rest. In order to get that first strike you have to be laser focused and in the present moment. Apply this thinking to you daily life the only objective is to get that first strike. Whatever that is for you. Be present.. focus in ... and remover the only way to predict your future is to improve on your present
If you listen to this podcast you know im bug on having high expectations. I truly believe that we get what we expect but ive learned that we should match those expectations with excitement. We shiuld be excited for the things to come, excited to get a step closer to our dreams and goals. BE EXCITED
on this podcast we talk about how living for the future too much can deprive you of your present
I believe that we can achieve anything that our hearts desire IF we can get our mind to agree. In order to do that we must change the way we speak. If how we speak doesn’t match our desire we will never accomplish what we set out to accomplish .
I believe that we can achieve anything that our hearts desire IF we can get our mind to agree. In order to do that we must change the way we speak. If how we speak doesn’t match our desire we will never accomplish what we set out to accomplish .
I made up in my mind that no matter what I’m going to fight until I win. There are no options, no excuses , and no cop outs. It’s a must that I win and no matter what happens that will be my end result

I used to be a pessimistic person. I used to be a victim of my situaion, i used to live in the prison of negativity. Over time i realized that being negativewasnt serving me it was acytally making my life worse, so i chose to change my perspective and on this podcast episode i give you practical steps on how you can do the same. I know i say this often but this episode is a must listen. Please share this episode. Please subscribe to this podcast and please leave me a review (good or bad i value feedback)
Today was one of those days ; my eyes were burning, my body was sore and my mind kept telling me to stay alseep. Im not going to lie i almost gave in to that feeling , i almost stayed in the bed, but i got up anyways and that reminded me that days like these are the days that make us. These are the days that our desire to win and achieve our dreams are tested.
Remember when you didn't have what you have now? Remember a time where you work so hard to get where you are now because you didn't have anything? I want you to go back to that time where you were so hungry too would she come so hungry for your dream, so hungry that it kept you up at night. I need you to go back those days and grind as if yoiu are bacl at square ome.
Procrastinating stops so many of us from tackling our goals and achieving our dreams. Today it stops! NO MORE PROCRASTINATING.
Your opportunity is coming I can guarantee you that but you better be ready when it comes. I can’t tell you when, or how but when it comes you will either execute or be exposed for what you really are. You can post all day, you can talk about it all day but you better be ready when it’s game time.
Gratitude is a powerful tool that allows us to look past our current situation and see the blessings in our lives. I challenge you today to get in the habit of being grateful. Whenever you feel down and depressed just think about the things you are grateful for. Whenever you get a negative thought shift your mind towards the things you are grateful for.
The fear of failing can be crippling , so muh so that it stops people from even trying. What we dont realize is failure is inevitable especially if you dont try. If you dont try, guess what YOU FAIL by default. So atleast try and when you meet failure learn from it and apply it the next time. We have to stop looking at failure as a negative thing. Start lookig at failure as your only way to get to success. Its the only route, you cant avoid it. So hurry up and fail so you can hurry up and succeed
During this webinar we talked about how to overcome fear everytime it rears its ugly head
3 take aways
- Visualize
- stop telling yourself you are afriad
- Know you deserve it
we also gave 3 bonus point but you have to listen for those
Sometimes life forces us to take a step back. At those times it is easy to get discourgaed and feel as if you arent making any progress. Ive dealt with this recently and i know it can be a very frustrating time. I couldnt see how having to take a step back was benefiting me but now in retrospect i can say that a step back can be for your benefit. Sometimes a step back is Gods way of helping you avoid taking a mis-step.
One of the hardest things for us humans to do is to be consistent. Especially when we have developed a habit of starting and stoping over the years. The habits that we create can be extremely hard to break that’s why it is important to start small, conquer small, and then grow BIG. . . NO MORE STOPPING AND STARTING🙅🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️ .
This morning I woke up thinking to myself “Destri what would happen in your life if you were to believe more, what would happen if you went out on a limb and dared yourself to do the things that give you fear.” After having that conversation with my self 😂😂😂 I realized that I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. So what if it doesn’t work! So what if I fail! Every failure leads me to my next success. So today I dare you to believe more, I dare you to chase a goal this week that scares you. I dare you to stop caring about what others think and put yourself out there.
You may not have all the resources. You may not have a huge network. You may not have the degrees but you do have two things that are working in your favor and that’s your grind and your gift......
Chasing your dreams is already hard as is. With that said you have to protect your dreams. Everyone doesn’t deserve to know what your dreams and goals are. I’m not saying that to be disrespectful but some people lack vision,faith, and the work ethic to make their dreams come true. So in turn they become cynical and make it their job to pour their negative sauce on other people’s dreams. Your dream is precious and it needs to be nurtured with positivity .Be careful who you share you dreams, goals, and ambitions with
On this podcast we had the privilege of featuring students from George Washington High School . We talked about our dreams and why it’s important to have a dream.We talked about fear, failure and purpose . This podcast was special to say the least. I learned so much from our conversation...
it’s only right that since it’s memorial day we talk about sacrifice. I’ve been in the US AMRY for 7 years and some change now and one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that you have to be willing to sacrifice it all for the greater good. Same thing goes for our dreams and goals. We have to be willing to Sacrifice who we are now for who we are to become . In my life I realized that I had to sacrifice certain things in order to really grow. Whether that’s TV time, leisure time, or sleep, I realize that I if I did not sacrifice for what I wanted, what I wanted would ultimately be the sacrifice.
—- Put all your chips in . . . I believe God sends us signs and when I saw my leave request get rejected I felt it in my soul that it was a sign to go harder towards my dreams and my goal. . . I don’t like other people having the power to control my life or tell@me when I can and can’t spend time with my family . . I’m fired up like never before and I’m sooooo thankful for that moment cause I needed it . . We all need a wake up call every once and a while and that was mine. That day made me realize that’s it’s time to put all my chips in and make my dreams come alive .. . . . 🔑🔑🔑But here’s the caveat, I made a mistake on my leave request and that’s why it got rejected , either way it woke me up and now you’ll see a different Destri🔑🔑🔑
Your faith ain’t real! . . Many of us talk about having faith like it’s something cute.we do affirmation, recite our favorite bible quotes, but when it comes to putting our faith to the test we coward. It’s easy to say you have faith but true faith is battle tested. . . I dare you to put your faith to the test. I dare you to take that leap of faith. I dare you to believe in yourself so much that you don’t have one small doubt about what you can do and where you can go in life. . . I’m only saying this cause I was the person who said I had all this faith but when it came down to stepping out on faith I let fear stop me in my tracks. I realized that I would say I can do all things through Christ but when God would nudge me to move in a direction that was in comfortable I would fold. . . God has been nudging you. He has been calling you but you are too afraid to trust in him fully. Today is the last day for that. It’s time to put your faith to the test and watch God move!!!!!!
——Prepare your soil—— . We put so much emphasis on doing the work (planting seeds) so we can reap the harvest but we over look the very first step—-preparing the soil—- . . If your soil is not prepared properly you will not reap the fullness of your harvest . You may plant a thousand seeds but many will wither away if the soil has not been prepared. . So today I challenge you to prepare your soil so you can reap the fullness of your harvest. . All your hard work mustn’t go in vain prepare your soil is the same thing as preparing to WIN be blessed .

I am a firm believer in the saying “where your focus goes your energy flows”With that said where is your focus this week?? •What is your top priority this week?? . . •What is that one thing that you MUST Accomplish this week??? . . •I challenge you to lock 🔐 in and put 100% of yourself into that one thing. . . I dare you to give everything you have towards that goal 🥅 and watch the results you get . . •I realized that Sometimes the reason why we do not accomplish the goal in the time that we say we’re going to accomplish the goal, is a direct result of our focus . . •we are too distracted. We give a little bit of focus here, a little bit of focus there, and the rest of our focus goes everywhere else. . . •But if you truly want to accomplish that goal, if you truly want to accomplish the mission you have to be 100% locked in or it will not happen period!!!!! .
I don’t care who you are or where you come from life will knock you down. Life doesn’t play fair come and if you’re expecting life to play fair youve already lost. I want you to understand that God made you a champion. That means that no matter what you’re facing you can overcome , maybe it’s depression, maybe you’re dealing with a failure, maybe you just can’t see your next move. What I want you to get from this podcast is that no matter where you are in life you can get back up and you can re-create yourself. You don’t have to except where you are right now. All you Gotta do is know that you are a champion and start acting like a champ ,start talking like a champ ,start thinking like a champion start behaving like a champion! Like I always say this is your life take control the power is yours
I get it, we all have busy lives. We all have things going on in our lives and sometimes it feels like we don’t have enough time in the day. The one thing that I’ve learned is that we have to make time for what we want. we have to create time, we have to sacrifice pleasure so that we can make our dreams become a reality. It’s easy to make the excuse that you don’t have time, it’s easy to make the excuse that there isn’t enough time in the day. But the reality is you will never get more time in the day,there’s only 24 hours. Even though that is a fact we still have the power to decide how we spend our time. Choose wisely
The day I realized that I was born to win was the day my life completely changed. Once you realize that you were born to win you will begin to behave differently,think differently, speaking differently, you will walk in your champion potential. You were born to be a champion. I want you to realize that! I need you to realize that you must realize that!
This is for all my dreamers, go-getters, risk takers, I know that we set high goals for ourselves and high standards and sometimes we do not hit the mark. But the question that I have for you today is what are you gonna do now? What are you gonna do now that you have not hit the mark. Are you going to quit? Are you going to give up? No! You are not a quitter, you are not a person that gives up, you are a champion! I challenge you today to fail forward and keep pressing toward the mark until you reach it. Be blessed
I got a question for you how long are you willing to stay committed to your dreams . How long are you willing to stay committed to the goals that you set for yourself? about how long you’re willing to stay committed to what you want in life. How long will you stay down???
Our perception, how we see things can either be a prison or a passport. Meaning how we see life can either make us live in a negative space or It can make us live in a positive space. the choice is totally yours
It’s time for you to wake up it’s time for you to put your gifts out into this world it is time for you to stop sleeping on yourself and start living your best life you have a contribution to make to this world I don’t know if you understand this but this world needs you God created you for a specific reason God put gifts inside of you that will change this world but you got to stop sleeping on yourself
I get it life can be hard there are times where you will feel like the weight of life it’s too heavy to bear but I promise you that if you can press through on the other side of that resistance is everything that you desire continue to press through continue to persevere continue to fight
Don’t pt your dream on the shelf today. Do something to get an inch closer to your destiny GET AFTER IT
Let’s be real, we don’t just put in the work for the fun of it, we want results and sometimes it’s easy to get discouraged when those results don’t show up when we want them to. I want to encourage you to keep fighting, keep sowing, keep putting the work in, you will reap the benefit in due time.The sun will shine soon... every season is your season .....
It’s easy to pursue your dreams and your goals when the motivation is there, but it’s hard to keep that same energy once the motivation isn’t there. the only way to accomplish your goals and your dreams when the mood has left is to make those goals and those dreams non-negotiable,meaning there’s no way out, meaning you must accomplish to goal,meaning you must accomplish the dream, don’t give yourself an out, don’t allow yourself to make good reasons to why you cannot accomplish a goal or why you won’t work on it today. do everything in your power to make that dream and that goal a reality Make it non-negotiable!
I know we all want to obtain success as fast as we possibly can so we grind hard, we stay up late, we out in the work. But as time progresses we get tempted to cut corners and cheat to get to our goal a little bit faster or to satisfy a craving that we have not realizing that when we do that we cheat our future selves.... the real you, the champion you, wants to show up but every time we cheat we deny our future selves.
The most powerful words you can say out of your mouth is “God I trust you”. Even when things seem to be going the wrong way , GOD I TRUST YOU. Even when things are going great GOD I TRUST YOU. I know that we want to take matters into our own hands and we should to an extent but we have to let God be God in our lives. He created us. He gave us life and he has laid out a plan for us. TRUST his plan and watch your life change for the good
One major life hack that I’ve learned is to give 100% to everything I put my hands on and that will breed the results that I desire. The caveat is that you can’t give 100% to everything, that means you’re going to have to narrow your focus down to the one thing that will make everything else move. Too often we try to do too much. We have 100 different things that is draining our energy which in-turn keeps us from getting the results we want. Once I learned to narrow my focus and give100% to the one thing, I started getting he results I desired and you can too.
I always say consistency wins championships. If you can’t be consistent overtime ultimately you will lose. In this podcast I give you my simple strategy to consistency and goal obtainment.

Many of us will never tap into our true greatness because for what ever reason we are afraid to take a leap of faith. We are afraid of what people will think or say. We are afraid to be vulnerable. I remember being afraid. I remember talking myself out of taking a leap of faith. It wasn’t until I thought about how my life would be in the future if u don’t leave my comfort zone that I made the decision to finally take the leap. Looking at it now, I don’t know what I was truly afraid of, it feels way better being in this side. JUST JUMP
Throughout my few years of weightlifting I’ve learned many valuable lessons that apply to life. One of the major lessons I’ve learned is that grip strength is everything. You may be strong but if you can’t hold on to the weights long enough to get your reps in it doesn’t matter, you’ll never hit your goal. This directly applies to our daily lives. Life will test your grip strength to see if you can hold on long enough to make.
Often times when we dream and visualize ourselves being successful we only see the glamorous parts. We don’t see the parts of the process that suck, so when we are faced with the parts of the process that we hate we starting running from it. But why I’ve come to understand is the parts of the process you hate are the parts that make you great. It’s easy to do the things we enjoy but it’s hard to do the things we deem worthless or painful. Dreams and ease don’t coexist it’s the hard times that make the good times great

There’s nothing wrong with speaking things into existence but often times our talk outweighs our efforts. I’ve learned the hard way that talking won’t get results but effort will
The things we go through are building us up so that we are built to stand the tests that will come ahead of us.
I say this often, we have the power to control our own lives. We can control how our day goes. Will there be things that happen unexpectedly? Absolutely, but we are always in control of how we respond to things. A couple months back I decided that I was going to start telling myself that each day is my best day. I don’t have to wait til things get better or til some magical change happens. No matter what my life looks like at the time TODAY will be my best day and it can be yours too
We can be doing all the right things but if we are not positioned correctly we won’t see the results that we desire. Everything in the universe is positioned just right : the sun, the moon, the stars, are all in perfect position. The earth is positioned right, every single thing has it position but for some reason we never look at our own lives and say am I in the right position. My intent is right but am I in the position God wants me in???
I am a firm believer that we don’t get what we want but we get what we expect. With that being said what would our lives look like if we woke up everyday and wrote down how we expect our lives to go.
“It’s already yours time just moves slow. “. What if we adapted this mindset as we chase our dreams. What if we understood that it’s already ours we just have to be patient and continue to put in the works as if we already have it in our hands.. Don’t get discourage cause things aren’t ha owning in the time you think they should understand that there is a process that’s specific for you, that you must go through in order to become the person who can sustain the success you obtain.....
Life does not play fair and it never will. So if we are going to accomplish our dreams, goals, and ambitions we have to make up in our minds that we WILL make it no matter what. We have to decide that we will not be broken by anything that life throws our way. We have to be 110% sold on it and we have to stand on it. So today I urge you to make up your mind, day to yourself I WILL NOT BE BROKEN
I said this before but this comparison game we play is hurting us. Love your life the way it is. You may not have everything you want and you may not be where you want to be but still LOVE YOUR LIFE. LOVE your journey, LOVE where God has you right now. LOVE who you are ,LOVE how you look, JUST LOVE YOURS. You are blessed and if you really take a look at your life you’d see that
I’m not trying to be disrespectful but I need you to shut up. Stop talking about what you are going to do and just execute. I’m convinced that some of us love talking about our dreams goals and ambitions more than we like actually working towards them.... And I’m not saying this to be judgmental I’m saying this out of love because I was the guy who talked a good talk, but didn’t back my talking up with actions.......
For some odd reason we look for other people to affirm us. We look for other people to give us permission to chase our dreams or to be great , but the reality is we don’t need any outside affirmation. The only affirmation or permission we need is from ourselves and God.
I find strength in knowing that no matter what my life looks like now , it won’t always be this way. Whenever I my faith gets weak, when ever I get to a point of impatience or when I’m in a situation that doesn’t seem bright I always remind myself that it won’t always be this way.
I know what it feels like to be the underdog. I know what it feels like to be over looked. It’s not a good feeling and often times when we are faced with these situations it can lead us to believe that we will never get an opportunity. Well I’m here to tell you that your opportunity is coming but in order for you to kill it when it comes you must begin to prepare for it like it’s already yours. I don’t care how long it takes, DONT give up. Just keep working with the mindset that your day will come. So when it comes you are already prepared for it
We all are faced with times of uncertainty. We may have made some leeway in life and then BOOM life hits us and we get pushed back. It’s easy to get discouraged in this phase. It’s easy to want to give up. It’s easy to start doubting yourself but I want to encourage you not to give up. You are just in the Slingshot phase........
As a man thinketh so is he. Too many of us are held down by our weak belief systems. We don’t have a problem dreaming and setting goals but often times we aren’t truly sold on the fact that we can make it happen. We let doubt take over, we let fear take over, we let other people speak death into our ambitions. As a person who has struggled with self doubt and insecurities I’m telling you that the only way to over come it is to jump. DONT LOOK DOWN JUST JUMP........ for more content please follow me on twitter and Instagram @destri_empowers
“Anytime you say yes to something you have to say no to something else”- Tom Brady... what are you willing to sacrifice in order to get what you want......
I was watching the new docu-series on Tom Brady and he said something that really made me think. He said "if you want to compete with me your going to have to give you life up because I've giving mine up." What I took from that was if you want to be great in any area of life you have to be willing to give your life to it! You have to be willing to give your all! So I ask you this question ARE YOU GIVING YOUR LIFE TO THE THINGS YOU SAY YOU WANT. Not just in the area of your dreams or goals but in every aspect of your life?
We all go through trials, tribulations and adversity. We can't escape it nor can we avoid it but one thing we can do is not allow our problems to have power over us. Stop giving your problems the power. Stop carrying the baggage of the things that have happened to you that you can't control. TAKE BACK YOUR POWER!!
Stop letting your life happen to you. Make the decision to wake up on attack mode and don't let up. We all have dreams goals and ambitions but if we do not hunt them down they won't happen.
