Level Up Lifestyle with Joe Wagner: Recent Episodes
Joe Wagner
It's easy to let your mind pull you way from what is best for you sometimes? Dive in with Joe Wagner (Ultra Spartan Marathon Runner, CEO, national sales trainer, author & mentor, to discuss how to become aware of which direction in life your mind is pulling you, vs which direction in life you actually want to go.Are you ready to stop letting the mind give you the ok to be just "good" rather than living at your full potential and becoming "GREAT"?If you're the type who knows you are built to do more, be more, and ready to earn that future you want then this podcast is for you. This is a no excuses, no bull, straight to the truth community and we invite others ready to Own their Mind so they too can Own Their Life.
In this episode, we explore the concept of "Don't wait to be something to act like it." Often, people believe that they need to achieve a certain level of success or obtain a specific status before they can start behaving like they have achieved it. However, this mindset can be limiting and prevent individuals from reaching their full potential.
We discuss how in order to become anything, you must act like it first. For example, you don't wait to be fit to do what fit people do. You start acting like a fit person by adopting healthy habits and exercising regularly, and eventually, you become a fit person.
We also touch on how this concept applies to other areas of life, such as career aspirations, relationships, and personal growth. By adopting the mindset of acting like the person you want to become, you can take the necessary steps to achieve your goals and become the best version of yourself.
Join us as we delve into the importance of taking action and embodying the qualities of the person you want to be. Don't wait to be something to act like it, start taking action today to create the life you desire.
Things happen in life that you can't control. This podcast is about how we react and how long we are affected by these events that are sure to happen.
This podcast is applicable to absolutely anyone because life is sure to throw the unknowns at us.
How will you use those events, that are sure to come, and get better from them?
If you become better and reach higher points in your life from your decision right now what does that look light. To use the downturn as a positive moving forward than where will you be? How much more can you make? What will a better relationship look and feel like? What mountains, or races, or new weights will you conquer? And most importantly, WHO WILL YOU BECOME?
The world likes to put qualifications and requirements on our own goals and dreams.
Don't buy into it!
If you want to build an amazing life story, and life resume of accomplishments, then don't believe the hype.
There's only one way to accomplish great things... keep plowing forward.
Nothing worth it is easy... absolutely nothing!
The most rewarding tasks are the hardest. You're going to encounter problems. You're going to run into unexpected challenges. People will doubt you and talk down about you.
Are you going to let these things stop you? Or will you PLOW FORWARD?
The only way to guarantee yourself failure is to stop. Never stop, but instead, PLOW FORWARD!
We set our level of commitment before we take on a challenge, not after we start.
This episode is shot the day after running 48 miles in 48 hours with very little sleep between.
I share my thoughts on commitment, focus, setting benchmarks, and flat out beating your mind's desire to quit when things get brutally hard.

Are you finding ways to push yourself WAY beyond your comfort zone?
If Yes, you're doing what it takes to reach your full potential.
If Not, then I want to invite you to find something that pushes you to the point of fear of failure or even terrified of failure. IN A HEALTHY WAY!
This week I'm doing the David Goggins inspired 4x4x48 Charity Run and I'm choosing to raise funds for kids to play youth sports.

Many people don't aim big enough because of their commitment to it and the possibility of failing. But that's the opposite of what the world's top achievers do, and has always done.
They aim REALLY REALLY BIG. They either win big or LEARN big!
Many families can't afford to pay the fees and equipment cost for their children to play (I was that kid) and we want to help them be able to.
We also help fund adult softball leagues for recovering alcohol & drug addiction.
Sports are the environment to be around healthy people, learn healthy habits, and push your limits. That is why I focus on being involved in all things sports.
So the whole point of this episode is… stop caring what others think. When your brain cares, if it cares, then catch it and retrain it not to.
Does what John says online really mean crap about how you run your business, what you wear, or how proud you are of some accomplishment?…. NO!!! So stop caring.
Don’t base your own judgment of your results or efforts on likes, comments, or some scorecard. Based on others' opinions. In the real world, people love to watch from a distance. People love to “live vicariously” through others… many times they do this for years and one day are sparked to follow your lead. Sometimes they don’t… but who cares…. The truth is that isn’t your business.
What is our business is living at our best for ourselves and nobody else!… then and only then is it for the right reasons.

You won't always feel like attacking your action plans.
Motivation will come & go.... that's why you must be disciplined to reach your goals, not just motivated.
Motivation is awesome, and when you have it use the hell out of it.... but when it fades away it's the discipline that keeps you doing the action plans you need to do.
Remember, Talk is cheap... you either do or you don't!

Do frustrations and disappointments cripple you or fuel you.
Ever seen Tom Brady make a poor pass, maybe for an interception? Was he frustrated after or happy about it?
Frustrated! But did the frustration cripple him, or fuel him?
That's what we can all do when life gives us reason to feel a dose of healthy frustrations.
In this episode we also announced our David Goggins inspired 4x4x48 Challenge... visit www.leveluplife.co for more information on contributing and helping with these charity events.
100% of funds go towards the cause. No employees, marketing, etc are paid with donations.
There's a reason some people seem to have the "Midas Touch". It's because they have momentum on their side in just bout everything they do.
The more they win & succeed, the easy it gets to win and succeed.
Momentum also works the other way around too. Get negative momentum and you'll find the opposite phrases like "when it rains it pours". That's NEGATIVE Momentum in someone's life.

Momentum & Lessons are some of your greatest tools if used properly.
Do not dwell and last year's accomplishments and failures. They are done. They're gone. But what still lingers from those victories or failures from the last year are Momentum & the Lessons learned.

If we waited until we knew how to do everything before attempting to do it then that would mean we could never get started at anything.
Getting started is far more important, at first, than knowing how. Obviously, any new endeavor will require us to know what we're talking about or what we're doing, but that's not the most important when GETTING STARTED.
Think of something you're really good at, maybe even a professional. When you first realized you wanted to do that were you an expert? Probably not. And professionally, most people are ok with this, but for some reason when we want to reach new levels in our personal life or reach new levels of success in life, that's when our mind wants to tell us "you don't know how".
Learn to beat your mind! Don't listen to it when it's trying to stop you from growing and trying new things. If you don't know how to do whatever you want to do, then get started and "learn" as you go. Go for it!

"If you want to know your future look around you at the people you spend the most time with" - Unknown.
This quote about your circle of influence couldn't be more true.
People plan on fitness, diet, and cleanses to remove toxins from the body, but when is the last time you looked at your inner circle and did a cleanse on who you get advice from and who you mirror.
In this episode, I want to invite you to take a look around you and evaluate if they're going to push you in the direction you're looking to go.

Today's actions are already determining how 2022 will start for you.
Are you going to begin New Years with fresh healthy habits to start, or will they already be ESTABLISHED come Jan 1?
It's the season of excuses and our mind's job to slow down our healthy habits is never easier to listen to than in December.
Instead of letting our mind run around unchecked, leading us towards the easy route, let's take control right now and begin working harder for next year, but starting now instead.
