Corey Thompson is your everyday Texas guy, a hunter and fisher. A type of guy that loves to hustle and make something happen for himself and family, and especially building wealth for his daughter.
Corey had a good job. I thought it was 30,000 a year at first until I realized what he said. $30,000 a month! He was laid off from his oil industry gig and was forced to find something else to keep up that lifestyle.
Corey Thompson went with a buddy of his to a real estate seminar and even though he was skeptical, went for it anyway. After flipping reaching success flipping homes and realizing how good he was at it, he decided to go wide, creating a mission to develop more passive income through real estate, something that he used to frown upon.
Corey, has since developed a new mission, one that helps families stay in their homes – instead of being foreclosed. It’s a process that he talks about in this process as he shares how he and his team gets it done.
Corey discusses how he has leased space to continue blowing up his business by going back to handwritten mailers and even expanding out to reach more and more prospects. This guy is a true Comfort Killer and it is my pleasure to share him with you.

I wanted to quickly drop in a nugget that we might have forgotten over the course of building our own thing!
One way to eliminate distraction is to set a barrier between you and random phone calls. This was a quick resource that I learned about yesterday and now use.
Our phones are the biggest distraction right now and handling that is a great place to start so you can continue to personally develop on Sundays.
FYI - I will be eliminating PD SUNDAYS podcast very soon.

It's a tough cookie to swallow but you must make the decision of what was and what will be in order to move forward on your journey.
When I say disconnect, it doesn't mean you are never going to talk to these people - it only means that your normal dealings, hanging out or taking advice from will cease.

Jenny King did the unthinkable as it relates to conventional wisdom. She quit her cushy corporate job where the money was great and her life was good to launch her consulting firm after just 6 months of making creating a plan.
One would think that is totally nuts! Jenny, like many Comfort Killers, believe that living the average life, 9-5, retirement plan is what is really crazy. Jenny’s mission is to help the US workforce be better, do better and learn to believe in the possibilities again. To help companies execute at a higher level through their people, by tapping in to the talent and strengthening who they are and how they can serve the organization, the clientele and the world.
Jenny King is a Professional Performance Coach and Speaker - With over 15 years of sales, marketing & leadership experience her method to the madness is a real world, no nonsense, no problems only opportunities approach. Responsible for over 30 million in sales herself she understands the process, clients and how to bridge connections where disconnects exist.
In this episode, we discuss how you too can find your source of talent, what planning is needed and how to begin your journey and life after working in corporate America. Jenny also shares quality information on how she is getting outside of her comfort zone each day in her entrepreneurial journey. It is with great pleasure that I bring to you Jenny King.

This is how we murder books over the course of a quarter. We eat them, snack on them, take them to the park and take them for a ride in our cars. I know the more books you read the more advantage you have because the average american reads 1 book per year.
I am into subconscious absorption. I don't want to have to think about what I learned about. I want to be what I learned about and this is how you eat BOOKS~!

Each time you build a relationship, put out content or collaborate, you leave a deposit in the universe. Other people will find these deposits and withdraw from it. They will then leave their own deposits. The universe loves this action, and will make sure that you are handsomely rewards for these positive deposits.

Energy can be energected! How? Just get up an move a bit. Jumping jacks can change a state, situps and walking changes states. Motivation is movement and production is the basis of morale. Today it's all about physical activity!
Lead me on everything @stacyacross – and do not forget to leave a review on Itunes and definitely subscribe on Podomatic! Here is what I know
I know the definition of business according to Merriam – Webster is the activity of making, buying, or selling goods or providing services in exchange for money
Funny thing is when I first started in business I just had one definition – I am a business! Me myself. What was I exchanging – VALUE. We all need to get serious about our business – It took me one year which to some may be spit in the wind, a fluke, a freaking baby step in comparison to where they are but I needed this past year to teach me business lessons.
Everyone I spoke to asked me; What is your model. How are you going to make money – What is the product. I was like damn bro! I am just trying motivate people. One other person kindly pulled me to the side and said. Well, unmotivated people don’t buy. They don’t and won’t invest in themselves. Change your model.
Wow! That hit me like a ton of bricks, like 1 thousand bibles closing at the same time. Then I thought to myself, at my lowest point in my life of gambling, drinking and smoking, lurking and partying, being unproductive, getting fired at a 1 -2 year minimum at any employment. I was super unmotivated. Did I buy anything to invest in myself then? NOPE!

Woke up at 4:00A.M today to drive 1.45 hours to York, PA to speak with Shane De Garay (ShaneTheTrain) - I was super excited to be inside his space of creation. A place filled with names on the wall from Grant Cardone to Brad Lea, to Stacy Cross. He also grinds like nobody's business! Putting in the work from a attached garage - he started it all on January 9th 2016. A month before I walked out of that seminar to start The Comfort Killers.
Shane has overcome drug addiction, depression, insecurities, family crisis and more and now 47 years young he is ready to tackle the world.
Through his 100% domination of Social Media - Especially FB, you will get to know Shane in all areas of life.
The most beautiful aspect of my trip today, was riding with him through York, PA stopping at various centers, senior recs, community church, and community non profits - each place had people that were excited, proud and eager to see Shane.
He doesn't note this as much as he notes how motivated he is and how ready he is to always level up! He doesn't note it because it's something that he does. He is for the people. He cares about people and he cares about the community. Every Friday, Shane brings donuts around to all these places and hands them out. He is featured in the local paper because of it. This is the side that I care about. The side that most don't see when you shut off FB LIVE.
Shane is more than a HYPEMAN - He is alive. He knows it. He has been given a second opportunity of life to live and he knows and appreciates it.
This is why I had to get uncomfortable with ShaneTheTrain!

What home based businesses will create a live that you imagined for you and your family? Ashley Strand, a professional actress, health coach, and multiple 6 figure earner, was so broke at one point that she couldn't even buy groceries out of the grocery store she worked in. She was totally fed up and eager to make something happen. Then her first child was born and her WHY was big enough to make something happen.
That's when she found a sustainable home based business that anyone can join. What's even more fantastic is that the product is beneficial to all.
In today's podcast, we discuss Ashley's story which involves taking risks, sales, relationships, Tony Robbins, poverty mindset and how you can get started.
We have a special bonus for those that want to get started today!

I have the ultimate pleasure of speaking with Coach Frank Sagasta on the Get Uncomfortable Podcast show. Coach is the first guest of the new year because we wanted to start it off very inspirational, very motivational and moving.
I recently got to learn and love Frank through his series of Facebook Live videos and then by magical surprise in person when he visited Philadelphia. He is a true action taker ( my favorite kind of people), waking up at 02:30 A.M daily, fully disciplined and structured, creating his business from love and being a part of the change he wants to see.
Coach Frank Sagasta has major goals this year: Becoming debt free and creating financial independence through his businesses!
We all have something to learn from everything, but in this episode you will get more nuggets to fill that backpack of yours which you can use for years to come!

Hello Comfort Killers
I am Stacy A. Cross and there is no E in my name! Welcome to The Get Uncomfortable podcast show where I, your host continues to spill the beans in life and business. Giving you useful strategies, tips that I shoot off from the hip!
Before we go any further, I want to say happy New Year to all my killers worldwide. I check the stats! I know who is listening, I know who is here: I just want you to know that I appreciate greatly your engagement and for all those who are on the mailing list that receive my newsletter – Thank you! If you are not on my mailing list yet, visit thecomfortkillers.com to jump on it.
This year you will hear who my sponsors are – you will come to love them as your own because I choose carefully and honestly because I care about my audience, my people, my comfort killers!
Now, what do you know about STATS? That word used to scare the heck out of me, because it meant I had to do work. I never took a statistics class in my life and probably didn’t because I avoided the work. The STATS that I am interested now is the stats I put on myself. Wouldn’t it be FUN to know exactly where you stand? Well let’s take this podcast for instance right now we are hovering just under 12,500 downloads for 2016. Not bad, but to me that’s not good. I want 50,000 a month. That’s my goal. But it’s good that I know where I am now. Let’s look up a word. The word is Statistics, let’s try to find its deeper meaning. Go grab your dictionary.
Statistics = is a collection of quantitative data. Easy, breezy. Let’s try to find something deeper. a number that represents a piece of information (such as information about how often something is done, how common something is, etc.) A number plotted. I plot monthly for my podcast and I can see that I receive over 2500 listens a month. Now if next month I drop to 2100 and the month after that I drop to 1800 and the month after that I drop again to 1500 then I have a down stat, which means I need to focus on my energy and action and look from above and ask questions. What did you not do for the last 4 months that you did do before that? I answer, I didn’t promote on all my channels – I just promoted on one. I failed to tell new people about my podcast or my topics weren’t that great. I find the root cause of this drop and I apply a formula to it. I need to get back to normal first. I am in a mode to get back to a solid 2500 or better. What does this take? This takes doing more and even more than I did when I had a 2500 stat. Massive action needs to be taken in order to do so but first it starts with STAT. So how do you plot? I went way old school with this and went out and bought graph paper. You remember that? The X and Y axis? The easiest way to see your condition (how you are doing) is to look at it. Statistics don’t lie and neither does non-productivity. If you are trying to remain at killer levels in life and business you are going to need to apply stats everywhere in your life.
Want to lose weight? Get a scale. Plot your weight. Plot the numbers. One of my goals this year is to lose 50lbs. The first thing we did was acquire a scale because I need to know. If you do not know then you are in doubt and mystery. Why be in mystery? If someone asks you? Hey, how are you doing in such and such? How many calls did you make? How many emails did you send? How many times did you eat today? Everything should be answered cleanly.

Get uncomfortable with Grant Cardone.
Good morning Comfort Killers – Hoping your day is as amazing as mine! We are all about killing comfort and figuring out more ways to get uncomfortable in life and in business!
I’ve been feeding my ear with Grant’s principles, books and streams for 2 years. I love his no nonsense talk about action, business, focus and obsessions.
His new book Be obsessed or Be Average BOBA is flying off stock room shelves now – His 7th book included in his arsenal – our household has the book AND audiobook!
www.grantcardone.com/obsessed
For me it is all about growth for myself and my company – The Comfort Killers. We are always moving in life looking for new people, resources and targets. Grant Cardone for me was someone I respected in business – he wasn’t my target.
Upon releasing BOBA – He put out an ad that he would love to do an interview about his book and will be on a mission to get his word out – I took action and emailed my mentor about doing one – but it wouldn’t be a regular interview, it would be face to face on his turf in Miami.
Shivhon my operations manager booked travel and hotel for us to finish the deal. Here is what happened to us when we landed. How the universe provides lessons in everything. Shivhon booked first a boutique hotel – a small apartment room hotel close to Grant’s offices. We figure it would be a nice hotel just around the block in walking distance. When we got to the hotel no one was there – there were codes to enter. We entered them then entered in. It was cute, modern, European style hotel. Modern artwork and such. The room itself was cold and smelled musty. Probably because the water in the sink doesn’t drain, a fly dead on the towel and a spider running across the bed. I learned a lot right then and there about settling. Settling for less than you dreamed of – settling for second best. Settling for distance to his office – or a job – or anything we settle for. Shivhon and I grabbed a quick bite at a great restaurant around the corner and made the decision to book another hotel – this time 2 miles away, this time 2 times amount the money we already spent. We arrived and felt great instantly. It wasn’t a 5-star hotel – it was no Ritz but we felt great about the atmosphere and the people coming in and out, doing business. With all these great things in life - again I tell you. Do not settle. Back to Grant – Back to Obsessed. I happened to be in the room for Grant Cardone’s Sales Meeting – A morning meeting where his team provides scope, goals, targets and results. It was intense in there. I loved watching as he spoke to his team about culture and mission – gave them insight and reaffirmed that his company is there to HELP people. They reviewed the numbers and had new motivation and inspiration for today. Companies are built. Culture is created and then enforced. Everyday Grant is reinforcing culture and mission to keep everyone aligned to a purpose. It was a beautiful experience for sure. Now I was pumped and ready for my interview with the man himself. Here are some things I noticed about him. He is super focused and wastes no time. I mean he doesn’t manage a calendar – he controls time. I’ve heard him mention this before but now I see it in motion. I thought I was a maniac with time but I am definitely not doing enough in terms of this. Controlling is way better than managing.
How can we get uncomfortable? How can we use fear to grow? I’ve been pointing in this direction for a while. Of course, I was nervous – I was in a new place doing this new thing. We are going to feel new feelings. How to combat this? You have to be Nike when it comes to this – You just gotta do it. Planning doesn’t really do any justice. You plan for an interview – asking questions and he answering them. And then grant breaks up the action and calls for a stack of checks made out to him that is on his desk. He plays no games.
Now I am staring at 100, 000 dollar checks, 89 thousand, 21 thousand and 7 thousand dollar checks. He is transparent – he tells me ideas don’t feed kids and build businesses. He wants me to focus on money and how you change the world and with it. You want to teach millions to get uncomfortable – you need money for that. You want to sell products; you need money for that.
This whole time I have been sharing with you guys that if you do not have money use other currency – it will help you get started. Other currencies that you can use is time, discipline, sacrifice, effort and attitude. You have an infinite amount of all of them. Use them.
But – I am not on a different level with my company and business. Here is the analogy I created. A mom is pregnant for 9 months. I started this company 9 months ago. A baby is born – my baby was born yesterday. They name their baby. I named my baby, a movement. What now? The baby is hungry, crying for attention and wants to eat! Where’s my money!
Now that I take The Comfort Killers to the next level – People are going to be bouncing off my mailing list. The folks that are content consuming. They will not understand the cycle of a business and how money lines up with your mission. I want them to leave. I can motivate them in under 140 characters on twitter.

My company’s value is built on my experience. I walk the walk before talking. I wrote over 100 articles – shot over 50 videos, created an ebook called The Comfort Killers handbook, created tangible products and guess what I never looked back. There were times that I wanted to stop – times when I felt like an amateur but I kept going. One foot after the next. I face my fears – I eat fear for breakfast and spit it out at noon. I make fear my pet … a puppy.
Lately, I’ve been identifying all the things that held me back during my life. All of them my fault but I cannot take credit simply because it’s the responsible thing to do. Schools, traditional thinking and conventional wisdom has a part to play.
We've had the A-ha moment and our heads were stuck in the clouds for too long. What happens when someone asks you what your business model is? How do you get real practical and detailed about that?
The 80/20 rule is simple. 20% of effort yields 80% of the results. How does this work. I explain using a door knocking example. I want you to remain conscious, romantic, high on an idea but honestly... business don't work that way.
Take your head out of the clouds and let execution efforts take over!
This one is for my dreamers.

Today is all about Get Uncomfortable the book. In 2008/2009 I started writing a book titled Get Uncomfortable which documented most if not all the most uncomfortable situations I put myself in growing up but somehow fell back to conformity and into the welcoming arms of comfort.
Back in 2008/2009 I had no idea about The Comfort Killers or what the hell Get Uncomfortable was going to turn into – there wasn’t a podcast. No website. No business plan. It was just me writing in my 20s about my life.
I made it available on Facebook to my friends and family in that same year. I wanted to see how it would translate. So I stopped it at the preview version and today I am going to give it to you all. This will be a two-part series of me reading a book I started titled Get Uncomfortable in 2009. Life is amazing. Look how these seeds were planted. As a disclaimer: I wrote like a rapper in this book. There are slang words, bad grammar, Jamaican lingo and other formatted text that I WILL be leaving in there.
This book preview will also be attached – to the newest version of this book, same title that will be my auto-biography. Sounds exciting right! It is. Let’s go!
Good morning Comfort Killers Worldwide.
It’s always the perfect time and today my friends we are in greatness. Surrounded by love and prosperity, abundance and talent. Today we are going to get uncomfortable.
On February 14th Valentine’s Day, the day of love and commerce, gifts, hearts and roses I walked the hell up out of a seminar that I felt was a joke to the motivational industry. On that day, I fell in love with myself. 100% on that day and It was because I took control back in my life.
Here I am 8 months later.
Ready to begin a new month in business. I haven’t stopped yet… not so much as blink an eye at the idea of quitting – Most people cherish that because they can’t understand it.
They’ve failed, started something and completely plummeted to failure – now there listening to this whispering that 8 months is a fluke and they need to see more out of it. Well let’s be honest first it is 7 months and 29 days.
In all that is 228 days. In all that’s 5, 472 hours. I’d like you to know right now that for at least 220 of those days I focused on business. I’m still at the resource center so we have to split the time. Rule of thumb, I always like to do more for me and my business than I do for someone else’s business.
220 days 100% on my business – on my game. It can be done! I want you to track your progress too. See, no one is going to care about YOUR numbers. They are yours. Imagine what you could have accomplished if you spent just 220 days on it? Crazy right.
I’ve learned so much and put in MASSIVE work, and now I am rolling into Q4. The big quarter 4. As I mentioned on a post – We will change the frequency of this very podcast. Instead of once a week .. there will be an additional 2 maybe 3 shows. Not sure yet – still working that calendar friends.
But you don’t care about that – you care right now how I am able to remain focused, and not fall into the trap that most entrepreneurs or wanna bees fall into. I used to fall in the trap but now I don’t even look back there. You know when you had a taste of first class – how you just don’t even look back there anymore that’s my style! I did it using my 3 C’s of CCCHANGE theory and method.
The 3 C’s of CCCHANGE is a practical tool used to completely turn your life around. Here’s an example. Say you want to stop gambling. Forget AA or Gambler’s anonymous (Hi my name is Stacy) forget that.
Using the 3 C’s tool will make it happen for you.
First you Confront – Commit and then Create. Simple but its magic when you put to use. This is how I changed my life. People would say Stacy why put Confront first.. wouldn’t you want to commit first. In the case of our anonymous gambler let me explain.
The quote reads, "Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen" - That is one of my favorite quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson. We need to be more aware of our decision making power and what truly happens when we star in our own movie.
You are already a star, no need to go try and reinvent the wheel here. You are powerful and already possess amazing resources and talent that you can use to overcome any challenges.
In this episode, I want you to know all the moving pieces of a movie and what it takes to create a successful movie from scratch. The good news is, you can start today.
I will give you three easy awareness steps that you can use to create your blockbuster movie!

We all have to play a game. The goal is to create as many games within the game as you can in order to have the most control.
We pay taxes right? That is a game most of us are unwilling to play - if you don't want to play it you get sent off to jail. The idea behind this podcast is to say - first understand the game, the consequences of either playing or not and then create a game within it.
A game within taxes may be you learning more about how taxes can benefit you. Learn about programs that help offset taxes, tax brackets.. whatever you have to do leading up to you creating a game.
I also discuss the importance of taking everything you have been through and pulling out the substance in order to use in future or present games you are creating. Don't just hate your past - use it to create your story... that can end up being your glory.

5 Creative Blocks and How to Release Them!
Creativity ladies and gentleman, comfort killers is a BIG WORD. And you know what we do with big words in our headquarters. If you are Comfort Killer, I want to acknowledge you and tell you thanks! Thank you for stepping it up in your life and thank you for being a part of our Army. The personal accountability and discipline that you set for yourself is outstanding.
No one can come close in self awareness – you know who you are and you may still be figuring it all out but we are always adapting to these beliefs. The belief that you are more. You deserve more. You are powerful. You are great. You are focused, you are beautiful, you are strong, you are the only person standing in your way and you are a creator. You know this to be true.
Before we look up the word Creativity let’s deep dive into what I believe it means. To me, to be creative means that you are able to look at old problems, old solutions, old ideas, old traditions, old wisdom, old way of doing things and create new way solutions, new ways, new ideas, new problems (whoa Stacy why would I want to create a new problem?)
Let’s just say, in business if you look around and take stock of the entire thing, you’re doing great business, your online presence is secured, your products are top notch, your revenue is peak (what’s peak anyway?) Then some creative person comes in after you think everything is A-OK, peachy. That person comes in and says, let’s open a new location or let’s add a new product, let’s collaborate with such and such, let’s do something new.
That is my friend a great problem to have. Do Not fight problems. Welcome problems like you do change. Welcome it all. A creative person understands that in order to grow something has to change... a new problem must arise.
Take your Merriam-Webster out or log into Merriam-Webster.com either way let’s look up the word CREATIVITY
Picked up Ralph Waldo Emerson essential writings and then I got crazy!
Got a live phone call in the process.
We talk Felix Dennis
I was swamped at the resource center the other day…. Totally wet, soggy, hot and overworked. See, there was a storm that passed through and we received two diverted flights one of which I took control of from the time it landed in PHL.
Long story short it poured rain… lightening, thunder, hunger, feet done.
I had to go to JFK that night to assist 4 unaccompanied minors. I didn’t get home until 8 A.M the next morning. Took a cab.
I slept the entire day away. I was beat to say the least. Many things on my to-do list for this company was canceled rightfully but I wondered to myself am I doing enough. I woke up in a daze – in such disgust and anger that I couldn’t (because my body wouldn’t allow) perform in my business. I didn’t accomplish something for the day. I have a Freedom date; and I wanted to publicize it today for you. I want to scream it loud and proud because I understand, I truly do – when life gets in the way.
What’s a freedom date?
A freedom date is a date you set and stick to – It is a big risk date, do or die. It’s not waiting for the perfect thing to happen .. it’s the date you say enough is fucking enough.
My freedom date is 1/1/17 –
What’s yours? What is the hard cold date you set for yourself to do something crazy, great, risky, humiliating, bold, absurd? See everyone around you will believe you are totally crazy. Looney Bin crazy. But you have got to set it to make it real. I understand how life gets in the way. Your freedom date is yours to keep. Work towards it not for it.
Let’s look up one word today – POTENTIAL.
This should be fun! Take out your Merriam Webster …
On today’s episode I talked to the Comfort Killer, Paola Andrea Daza Aragon. (Yep, it’s a tongue twister) – Paola is a well-educated, super dedicated, super passionate individual living in Bogotá, Colombia.
Paola got in touch with me a little while back to discuss, MLM, leadership and business. I was instantly drawn closer to learn more about Paola and her mission to bring quality, ethical leadership back to business. .
Here’s more from Paola herself:
I am a policy analyst and have an MA in International Development. This field of expertise is dedicated to understand social and economic challenges to develop policies that change circumstances to better the lives of people being affected by said challenges. This is kind of the fast and easy explanation. It is important to keep in mind that us humans, are complex beings and that the system we designed to be able to leave with each other has proven to be broken.

In this episode, Stacy Cross gets uncomfortable with Dr. Cara, a medical physician in Atlanta, who believes that professional dress is NOT common knowledge.
Dr. Cara has been on 40-50 professional interviews (3 RA, 2 research, 4 Med school, 11 residencies, 7 fellowship, 10 attending) which has made her an expert in the topic of what to wear in a professional setting, interview or in any industry for that matter. Dr. Cara shares practical, easy to follow and implement, do’s and don’ts of dress.
This topic is much needed because as Dr. Cara stated, many people don’t know how to dress for work, what colors to wear, what shoes are appropriate and how to display confidence through clothing. Additionally, Dr. Cara and I open dialogue about power, confidence, and why it is important to be “comfortable in a job interview”
Even though Dr. Cara shared insight that will most likely resonate more with our female Comfort Killers, we believe this show is for both male and females alike. To simply conclude: Professional dress is about being comfortable, clean, neat and confident.
Below are Dr. Cara’s notes that she would like to share with The Comfort Killers. Devour it.
My mother was stay at home, so these are things I've learned along the way to help you be:
Professional, powerful, and pretty Dress for job you want, not the one you have-sometimes dressier than required
-Take note of what your boss wears for an example
Women may have to work harder to get ahead-don't sabotage yourself!
First impressions count-unfair but true. Take advantage of your first impression
Good morning Comfort Killers!

Good morning – Ladies, Gents, Comfort Killers.
Yet another Thursday in the books, another week secured in history and I am here to ask what have you done with your 168. There are 168 hours within the week, we all have the same beginning balance, it is just a matter of how you plan to attack yours.
Today’s episode is special because I want to run through what we have done with everything since beginning this company. The reason this is resonating with me so much lately is because this past Monday, I was a guest on Michelle Dutro’s Game Changer Podcast. You can listen to my episode which is set to be released within a couple weeks on www.thegamechangerpodcast.com – Head over there, bookmark it – she already has great shows and content available even before my episode comes out. So I’ve been asked the question: Why. Why did you do it, why start a business, why take these risks which seems to have very little economical rewards in the beginning. Why take the leap.
I’ve also been asked. What. Stacy, what happened in your life that lead up to this extraordinary feat. Many people do not take steps to change. Today I want to share with you my story…. THE STORY.
As you may or may not already know this isn’t the first company I started. In 2009 I started a clothing brand and quickly gained a supporter who turned out to be my partner. The clothing brand was slow to grow because I was slow to grow. Slow to get uncomfortable. My business partner moved on and so did I. I picked it back up in 2011 and again slow to grow and therefore the business suffered as a result. I stopped.
I picked it back up once again in 2013/2014. I stated that this will be it! The final run, the do or die. Well guess what, killers. I had momentum. I obtained a showroom… put on events. Created more clothing releases than ever and even created a project that to this day makes me very proud. I received sponsorship, started a community and subculture with many followers who to this day are still friends and associates. This time things were moving. Then something happened. ..Finally I started to GROW – and this time I outgrown the business of clothing. I outgrew small life goals- I started to take stock of what it is I truly wanted out of life. The early growth period was very hard for me. I still had bad habits to conquer. I read books, created a lifestyle. Pushed myself and expanded my consciousness and awareness. I was scared.
I finally held myself accountable for everything. I finally realized then actualized. I made small changes. I reverted back to old behavior. I hated how I felt as a result from it. I had an awakening. I had a relapse in discipline. I meditated. I grew some more. I got uncomfortable. …which all led up to that damn seminar. It was February 14th 2016 when a Millionaire Mind Expo seminar came into my area. I knew I had to go – I knew I had to somehow do things differently. So I felt a seminar would be the natural first step to my new self… I will forever be grateful for this day. The seminar was a 3 day event and somewhat had an immersive learning schedule – 9 hours per day.
The first day felt great. But I had no business cards. I had already written The Comfort Killers handbook in December and wanted people to know about it. I wanted to finally step outside of my comfort zone and network. Speak. I sat in the front row. I actually met an awesome dude who sat right next to me – some of you know his name Richard Sutton – whom I invited to interview on get uncomfortable podcast Go listen. Sitting in the front row of Day 1 was eye opening. I started to ask internal questions.
“Why am I not on the stage” “Why are all these people here” “What makes these people continue to come here” “What is their offer” – “I would do this better” “I would do that better” “I should start a website” “What am I doing here” “I should start investing in myself” “What other things can I do with my time”
These all ran through my head as I sat there with the rest of them. Many left in the first break. .. This was my second seminar actually now that it’s all coming back. The first one was a week ago, and that I walked out of. This one though spoke about mindset, money mindset, millionaire mindset. We danced, listened to music and asked each other for $100.00 bill to burn at the stake. Yeah, okay.
Without giving too much away in case you actually attend this very same seminar – I would like you to have your own opinion.
Day one was finished!
The next day. I didn’t go.
The next day was the beginning of my new life.
Here is why: (Detailed only in audio version)
Since February this is what I have accomplished.
• Created www.thecomfortkillers.com • Realigned direction for The Get Uncomfortable Podcast Show • Created 2 Webinars • Wrote 2 eBooks • Gained thousands of supporters • Wrote over 50 articles which features on other database such as Medium, Linkedin • Obtained funding • Obtained a business partner whom crushes it on a daily basis • Structured the company • Created Coaching Service • Provide products such as t-shirt, journal, wristbands and more to come • Expanded The Comfort Killers community • Expanded The Mailing List • Created Free Courses and Training • Created CKTV • Writing Book • Meet with outstanding individuals in many areas of business and life • Interviewed on a podcast show • Upped my Income • Changed my mindset • Never reverted back to old behavior. • Remained persistent and vigilant for my mission • Gain many followers on all social media outlets • Opportunity to grow exponentially with huge outlet offer on the table right now • Attracted awesome people in my life • Expanding in an office • Invested in quality tools and resources to grow (Expanded in audio version)
Leader of the high achievers, leader of the comfort killers, providing tactics, channels, and strategies for life battle plans, - Have you your sharped edge axe my friends. Are you ready to get uncomfortable? If you do not know who I am, I would like to apologize.
I am on the battle grounds, fighting for freedom, fighting to not just exist, not just to survive but thrive. I am fighting for your attention, fighting to never be average again. I am fighting for you my friend. No stones left unturned. No river left uncrossed. No sector or division left unmanned. This is not your grandpappys war – This is the war of self. The war of mindset. The war within and if won, creates the best world without.
Do you think one person can change the world? Do you believe that you are the most important person on planet earth? Is your target only focused on planet earth? Are you not ready to bleed through books, experience, struggles, pain? Nope Comfort Killers, this is NOT a war of the past.
This is a new war, a more strategic, personal war. This is an intellectual war on time. Where did all your time go? Are you not fighting for more time? Who is winning this war? What is winning this war? Is your television winning? Is facebook killing your SELF? What about your negativity, is that murdering your growth. What is winning the time war? Have you stopped believing in yourself my friend? Are you spending more time than investing it? Do you not READ? Do you not want to learn no languages? Have you stopped growing since high school, middle school and college?
Have you your sharped edge axe?
Who has won the war on growth? Who has won the battle of traffic? Is your favorite top 40 radio station the first thing you throw on? How about talk radio, or sports radio. Do you know more stats about some guy in Pro Football than your pay stub? Do you know how much taxes are being taken out each week? Do you know how much you earn? Who wins in the battle of growth? You are wounded by the news, depressed by media and you have come to the grounds with no ammo. You have no sense of control. You are a puppet for society. You dwell on things out of your control. You do not have a map handy. You cannot win at this game. You are the game.
You are being targeted through the big binoculars of fear – You uphold your king’s wishes by smoking weed – doing drugs, - staying drunk. What is your weekend like soldier! Are you investing in yourself? You have 200$ sneakers on but you turn your head at a $20.00 book about investing. Soldiers, Comfort Killers! Who or What is winning this war?
Have you your sharped edge axe, O Pioneer? Have you set your targets? Goals? Are you always complaining about what someone else has achieved.. Do you blame the man? Have you your battle plan? Do you know who you are? Comfort Killers, don’t lie dead in the midst of this new war. The new war survivors are quick thinkers, good decision makers, move fast and carry their goals with them. They invest time, resources and energy in themselves. They focus on wins and duplicate methods to continuously recreate them. They are not living in fear, rather confidence, knowing they are here for great. They are laying bridges … even if they come across resistance they move with speed and accuracy. They have clear thoughts which is why their actions are strategic. They only see abundance. They change their environments when necessary. Their ears aren’t in doubt. They listen to experiences from others they want to copy. Hey! They invest MONEY. They cut associates. They are fit for the battle of life.

I am so happy that YOU took the time to listen to this show today, I know who is out here. I know you want more. Look, my mission in life is to teach millions how to get uncomfortable, to think act and live better.
Do you want better? Will you allow us to support you? Our network is about growth and today’s topic is about Growth and Expansion. We all need it to succeed. You simply cannot stay in the same place and expect to grow.
There are three lines on the graph of life. The first one is the line of growth and abundance this line is expressed on the graph moving upwards, constantly pulsating with greatness. Elevating in levels and always vertical.
The next line is the straight line, horizontally expressed on the graph. Take a piece of paper out and draw a horizontal straight line – this signifies no movement. No change. It’s the most comfortable line out there. It represents death, which we will get into a little bit later.
The 3rd and last line expressed on the graph of life is that of downward motion. The line has movement but in a negative direction. This is the line of continued failure –
Which line represents where you are in your life RIGHT NOW? The positively vibrated, pulsating, energetic, upward moving line or the death horizontal stagnant line. Or are you eager to change but nothing is working downward trending line.
Ladies and gentlemen it’s time to do some confronting!!! It’s time to get serious about where you are at this exact moment in your life.
Hello friends and comfort killers. Stacy Cross here yet again on a beautiful Thursday for another episode of Get Uncomfortable and today we are going to quickly discuss and define the THREE C’s in for Change, to Change, of Change. What does it mean to Change – What does it mean to begin to change or you are going through changes.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I want to thank you for rocking with me, learning with me and growing with me. You are totally making me the happiest person right now in life!
So now that we know change is to become something different the next question should then be HOW. How does one become different? That is where the 3 C’s come into effect. We will only stay on the surface area of this because we are developing a course right now that will be able to show you exactly how and we believe it will benefit you greatly. It’ll be a four hour training course and you can subscribe to our mailing list for more updates on that end.
The HOW is CK360 / 3 C’s – the first is Confront, the second is Commit and the third of C for CCChange is Create. I will briefly go over each now and you should be able to get the scope of what it takes to Change in any arena.
Sorry for the late upload of this week's Get Uncomfortable show! I ranted today about how happy I am and how EXCITED I am to see everything manifest in my world.
Remain uncomfortable,
Stacy
Hello Comfort Killers hope all is well in life and business, in health and fitness in love and abundance! I There is a time to prepare there is a time to plan but it’s always time for action are you ready? Are you ready to get uncomfortable friends? Let’s go! I had the pleasure of attending a leadership summit in Orlando Florida for my resource center this past week and if you have me on snapchat then you were able to witness my travels through the streams posted. If you don’t already have me added to your snap chat do so now my handle is stacyacross (no space and no e). On twitter I am stacyacross again no space and no e. As always you can find The Comfort Killers on Facebook – www.facebook.com/thecomfortkiller (no s) - So I wrote down some wins and lessons learned from the summit and I had plenty of both but I want to share the biggest ones with you which corresponds to this episode titled “The Universe is Ready When You Are” – meaning if you are committed to change your life and attain the success you desire, you have to be willing to take action even if you don’t know what the hell you’re doing right now or how you will achieve it. The universe is always listening, waiting, and available but it is up to us to get the ball rolling. Now! The biggest takeaway from the leadership summit is how I was able to feel fear coming and expand anyway. This is important to note because the one thing that tends to hold us back from taking action is fear. Let’s take a look at the definition of FEAR and see if it’s an illusion like everything else in our mind. Get your Webster’s out. Now that we know what FEAR is, let me ask “is it a barrier and obstacle that we place on ourselves?” I’m asking rhetorically because I almost added a filter of illusion just yesterday on myself. First let me explain the night before (Tuesday night) The second take away is VALIDATION. The universe will validate your commitment. If at any time after you made a decision let’s say - go back to school to earn a degree... Let’s say you received your Diploma and you want to return to school for architecture. The validation will either start coming your way in waves. First you might notice a magazine on the subject – you’re looking around in a bookstore and you just happen to notice this magazine on architecture – you think nothing of it and you don’t get the book. It doesn’t interest you. The universe will take note. 1 for the universe and zero for human. Then next validation may come in a way of a struggle to find financing for the school or university. Are you ready? Let’s say you now start developing fear around believing if it is the correct decision or not. The universe will challenge that as well with a minor task that will prepare you to overcome... so the universe starts to play games. You don’t understand why you’re seeing commercials about architecture you don’t understand why you begin to look at the details in design. And then the biggest validation of all – the people around you begin to talk you out of what you want to do. Do you listen? Do you move forward? Do you fill out the application? Do you immerse yourself in learning what people are doing? Or do you put it off? Watch T.V instead? Spend every penny on other things instead of staying focused on your goal. My validation started ever since I walked out of that seminar. I was full of energy, ready to begin my new journey as an entrepreneur, author, motivational speaker, and an influential public figure. Instantly I was tested for validation. See the universe is asking, Stacy, human, are you ready because I am. Are you ready to make it real… are you? I just changed my name on Linked in from Stacy Cross to Stacy Cross, Motivational Speaker and Coach! I just did that. Then I started seeing my clues for validation – my fear boiling and this is what happened.
Remain uncomfortable,

The most accurate definition of the word “INVEST” according to Merriam-Webster dictionary is to make use of for future benefits or advantages. Usually people correlate investment with money but Comfort Killers like yourself understands that you can invest many things, such as: emotion, time, support, dedication, purpose, money, love, among other things. When you are vest that only means you are in it to win it – you are 100%edly involved in the activity.
Today I want to give you just a few nuggets in this area as well as open my door to anyone looking for more in their life. I created a 5 Day course which is FREE and I want you to take advantage of it!
Remain uncomfortable, Stacy
Yooooo Comfort Killers! Stacy here for your weekly dose, sharing practical steps, useful and actionable tips on how YOU can get uncomfortable. Last week I sat with Prosper Taruvinga who totally, 100%edly smashed the podcast universe when he explained how he gets uncomfortable.
I stole some things. I am the knowledge thief. The only time I want to be known as a thief is when I steal some KNOWLEDGE which he had plenty of. Since then I spoke to Prosper twice and both times our talks got deeper and allowed me to look into my own life for ways to be better. I am Stacy Cross you can find me on Facebook, twitter, snap chat (MY SNAPS share my journey NOT my story) and as always I am on my home base www.thecomfortkillers.com
I learned about building systems and automating success. It’s totally crazy how my calendar is full. My pipeline full. My energy FULL. My journey to success ladies and gentlemen is full of successful experiences and I am happy to share it with the world. My mission in life is to teach MILLIONS how to get uncomfortable. Before we get started I am going to ask that you pause this recording and join our Facebook group. It is a closed group and ONLY COMFORT KILLERS ARE ALLOWED. Yes we are selfish! Earlier today I dropped a video on the subject of Mentors and I share very specifically how to go about finding mentors and coaches and where you can get the best ones. Jump on CKTV right now and watch that before its too late!! Today is the THIRD, 1 of 3, last installment of the ultra-mini, series: FOCUS ON INCOME NOT SPENDING In part 1: Make money work for you, How you can’t make money and your money wants attention!
In part 2: Taxes, Three Types of Income.
And now, Part 3: Weallllllth! – What is wealth? Let’s look it up!
According to Merriam-Webster wealth is defined as:
1: a large amount of money and possessions
2: the value of all the property, possessions, and money that someone or something has.
3: a large amount or number. Now let’s get deeper. The word wealth was first used in the 13th century so let’s figure the old meaning.
Middle English word welthe, from wele, weal.
1: abundance.
2: all property that has a money value or an exchangeable value
3: all material objects that have economic utility.
The word WEAL! – Let’s take it back.
1: a sound, healthy, or prosperous state: well-being. So to be wealthy, the way I understand it is to be healthy, abundant, and prosperous. Wealth is not just about money comfort killers. Wealth is deeper than just your house, your car your money! Get it. Wealth is a state of being not a state of things. Wealth is understanding, knowledge and wisdom, here is why. If a wealthy man loses all his money either at the hands of wolves, thieves, family, temporary losses. That man can accumulate more wealth in a short amount of time. He is on a wealth frequency. If another person just has money … at the hands of the casino, lottery, inheritance (why do you think folks that inherited lots of money loses it and is now poor and middle class?) they do not know how to DUPLICATE it!
To duplicate is to experience and is to have wealth. So which one do I want!! Wealth – the entire state, I want the Comfort Killers 360 Life. Which one do you want?
I had a money block! Most of middle class has money blocks and believe that working for their money is the only option. Eating unhealthy is something affordable. Drinking soda and over consumption. The poverty mindset is a definite.
I want to focus on income building, passive income and yes WEALTH the state of well-being. How do we get there, well here’s one thing. Confront your finances. Each one of these three parts in this series, I had to experience. Otherwise, how the hell can I give it to you? How can I share it?
Remain uncomfortable,
Stacy

I follow Prosper on Instagram and just watched his success from a distance until one day I decided to contact him and ask for a chat for this podcast. Prosper was speedy quick to answer the call to action and today is the result of that intention.
Ladies and gentleman it was a hell of a show today. Not only did I get personal and developmental nuggets that will help progress my own journey to success, I gained a friend in the process. This is where true value is found... it is in the never thought it was there to begin with, experience. It is found deep inside, OUTSIDE of your comfort zone. Just think - What if I was too scared to ask for that interview.. What if I thought about it but didn't follow up? You have to take life by the horns and take action for yourself, it is the only way you will find the value. Again, the value is in my experience and I thank Prosper for sharing his with me.
Prosper is more than a husband, father and entrepreneur.. he is full of life, energy and love - he wants to help take humanity to new levels and heights. Just listen to his goals !! I am motivated, inspired and interested in this new life I set for myself and Prosper was able to help solidify and validate my mission.
Here are some notes about Prosper Taruvinga, we hope you like the show.

Remember we can’t talk about things that we don’t understand and we don’t understand things because we don’t know their meaning. MINDSET: 1) a particular way of thinking: A person’s attitude or set opinions about something. 2) a mental attitude or inclination 3) a fixed state of mind. Fixed, are you fixed in the prosperity mindset? The abundance, do you look around and all you see is abundance everywhere? I mean down to the shit you won’t even think of. I drive past center city philadelphia going to the resource center. First off, everyone has cars, theres a million cars around me ABUNDANCE – you see traffic, I see abundance. The buildings, skyscrapers, fancy, and beautiful architecture. Again I look at all those syscrapers and see abundance, you see fog! The trees. I pass at least 40,000 trees a day. You don’t even see them, I see abundance. What about water. .. you turn on your faucet – what do you see man? I see abundance. I see wealth, prosperity, abundance – even in the shittiest places. How about opportunity? How many people I spoke to in Philly told me there are no jobs. What! ?? No jobs? How does a person say there are no jobs out there? Man next time someone asks you if you got a job say, I am still waiting on the right opportunity for me. I am still working on alignin my frequency to that perfect job. Opportunity is everwhere… man. I open the paper, craigslist, I see people going places constantly – they working. What are you doing ? Watching judge judy?? Then you’re right there are no jobs FOR YOU! How about health? Organic is expensive, it’s a mindset – its expensive to eat healthy.. I want to go to the gym but its too far. EXCUSES and living in an unhealthy mindset. How about MONEY – This is a big one. Wealth.. how do you see money? CHANGE YOUR MINDSET!

FOCUS ON INCOME part two Focus on revenue, profit, returns, proceeds, gains, yield (INCOME) Cash, money mullah, and doe. Focus on what is coming in ladies and gentlemen! This is how you get uncomfortable. I want everyone here to know and understand that this is show and my previous focus on your income show is scraping the crust off the surface – it didn’t even touch the official surface yet.

Thursday is a monster day in our studio because we have to generate enough time to give our attention finance checks, income drip checks, this show your listening to right now is recording every Thursday as well as our new video show Love and Grow which we debut last Thursday and it is now streaming on CKTV ! So heck yea I gotta find time. People will ask how you find time. Some will even say it’s impossible to generate more time – Well I am here to tell you that you don’t understand the basic laws of math and gravity and time and the universe. (I threw gravity) in there. You know first thing is first and I don’t want to waste any time today so let’s go right into it! What is the definition of TIME –? I know what most of you – your saying “never enough” – “I hate time” – ‘I’m always tired” “I can’t wait until the weekend” “I hate work” – I can’t start a business – “I got kids, they got school” come on man. That’s not a definition that’s an excuse!!!!
Let’s look time up in MERRIAM-WEBSTER Here is the basic meaning – it’s the thing that is measured as seconds, minutes, hours, days, and years.
: A particular minute or hour shown by a clock Here goes the MONSTER full definition – listen to this. 1. The measured or measurable period during which an action, process exists or continue – I will repeat. 2. The point or period when something occurs 3. An appointed, fixed or customary moment or hour for something to begin or end\ 4. A period of apprenticeship 5. One of a series of recurring instances or repeated actions 6. Finite as contrasted with infinite duration 7. Old English word before the 12th century – coming from the word TIDE
Now we all know TIDE is from the ocean and beach right – but let’s try to put these things together to get the real reason of TIME... This is fun for me because once we break it down you will begin to build it up for yourself.
Tide: Look it up!
- The way in which something is changing and developing
- A fit or opportune time
Bro! Time, Current – Tide, Apprenticeship Recurring... What does this all say to you? I know it’s giving me clues on approach – How to look at time, how to value change and how to get some of this stuff back.
Look we all know time is made up. Man made it. Everything is an illusion but we can say that and not do anything with it. Time isn’t real guys – but we have 24 hours in a day some civilization created, invented. Mayan calendar... Egyptian GODS, African Men... Yes we get it.
But to stay there and not go anywhere more is being comfortable. To stay in the world of illusion is to be comfortable. You have to be all the way in the world or nowhere at all!
More to come on that on a later date!
For now, if you want to learn how to get more time, do more with your time. .. You are in the right place!
Today’s topic is all about side hustles, side business and understanding that more income should be your goal. We will also answer the question... Should you follow your passion? Or should you follow something else! Yes today’s show will be powerful because it is what you were waiting for. Simple answers to life’s most majestic questions. Plus a little later in the show as a bonus, my mentor will share a word on PROSPERITY which diffused my confusion about wealth. I hope you will enjoy that.
Here are my money principles:
• Make your money work for you – Treat your income as if it is a slave, a worker for your – Ever heard the saying don’t let money control you! It is absolutely right. When I learned this principle and put it into action I began to appreciate what money is and how much time I get back when I let it work for me. Decide to make money work for you and you will begin to open all those closed doors, you will create opportunity to make it work
• Money wants attention – Another principle is money wants attention. It wants a job, it wants to do something – This principle comes from the mindset of abundance. We live in a world of abundance – your money also lives in this world and wants to be acknowledged. Do you know how much is coming in? Going out? Where it’s going? How much more will come in? The energy of the money going out? When the energy around money is of lack, scarcity, evil, hate – the money that is returned to you never stays around. It cannot. Stop being a miser… Do this exercise: Hold your hand up and make a fist. A person that comes from lack and scarcity treats money like this, the coins, money, cash, opportunity is inside the fist. Never giving more than the tight fist will allow. Well the same fist will never be able to have anything come inside it either. Look at your hand. Nothing out. Nothing in. That is not paying attention so it doesn’t pay.
• The third money principle is in the understanding that you can’t make money. - You create opportunities that allows for the flow of income! Yeah! You heard it... You can’t make money – it’s illegal. The fed makes money, they print it... Your job, your 9-5 all that is an opportunity that you created that is the vehicle to which an income flow is received. See how the mindset changes and your view on money is changed. This brings me to a point of paying bills. People hate paying bills, I used to hate the beginning, middle and end of the month because rent was due, electric, water, gas and cable. But guess what? We use the services happily... We love to turn on lights throughout the house and appreciate what it does for our family. Heat keeps us warm at night... Running water, resources throughout the town, city and neighborhood. Why are we so damn upset? The energy of the money you give out again has to be in a mindset of abundance. Try to appreciate paying for the services rendered than being in a state of anger, resent, hopeless and negativity.

New time slot for Get Uncomfortable with Stacy Cross is now weekly on Thursday’s! Thank you for your time. Today’s show I get uncomfortable with Richard Sutton of PDQ Management. Richard Sutton www.pdqmanagement.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MrPDQIGOTNEXT
In this episode we touch on various topics such as passion, purpose, and action. We have a few laughs and create a business relationship. Richard Sutton of PDQ Management is from Philadelphia, PA and is an entrepreneur, community leader and creator. I am pleased to have met Richard at the very seminar that I walked out of. Turns out, he also didn’t go back for the second and third day for other reasons. (I am NOT alone) - Richard created *[The Gentlemen’s Academy] which is a 1 Day Workshop geared towards teaching young men skills for leadership, money management, Self-Respect, Relationship and Etiquette! I personally love this idea and wish him success. I also wanted to find out how I can better support Mr. PDQ and align our businesses to reach even more people. He also speaks about his 1000 Men Project and how the idea came about. We could sense that challenges, obstacles and failure yield greatness – depending on how you respond NOT react. Thank you for listening – Enjoy.
In this quick episode, I speak about the value of using old cues to form new habits! This is in direct relation to the book I am reading "The Power of Habit" I am testing this on myself by using the reward based system of an old cue to form a new healthy habit of working out and eating more healthy. Guess what? It's working! Listen now.
Last night I discovered that trickery is a good thing and that sometimes changing the direction of hold habits first begin with the awareness of old cues. In this episode you will learn a tiny bit about a monster subject "Habit" but a whole lot about Energy in a tiny bit of time. We are wired to fail - our brain wants nothing to interrupt its desire to have low activity. We have to rewire a mechanism through awareness and action. I would love to bring you inside my brain and how I felt yesterday just before falling for the tricks of the mind. Instantly I was aware and decided to be better! This is how.

Hey Comfort Killers,

I want to share with you my experience with MLM and what to expect from joining an MLM company, the benefits - good and bad. I want you to have all the information you will need to properly either give it a go or say no! The only valid point is - you get out what you put in. But that goes without saying and usually is valid for just about everything in life. As far as MLM, yes your can make money in it. Many people have. The proof is there! There are shoddy, shaky and poorly managed companies out there as well. Choose wisely and do your research.

Happy Sunday Comfort Killers! This quick episode was completed using the voice recorder on my Nexus 6 after catching a wind of inspiration. I started reading The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg and the prologue alone captivated me enough to stop for a second and reflect on another captivating accident. I speak about wealth creation and how the universe provides answers in moments and we must be conscious to these cues which are important to growth!

Everything is perception so in order for this word to work for you create a successful, happy, positive perception of yourself. Listen in on a few tips that may help you perceived better.
So knowing and understanding this concept of creating your own luck… how can you get out of the cycle of bad circumstances, horrible experiences, failed ventures, procrastination and BAD LUCK? Well the first thing you MUST do is recognize the importance of being responsible for everything in your life. Secondly, instead of complaining and victimizing yourself from the events happening in your universe, take a mental note of what’s happening and commit to change. Again, I cannot stress enough. It is ALL in your mind and thinking. Start by finding the positives in all situations good or bad and ESPECIALLY bad!
