1028. The Habit Of Ferocity |The Art of Impossible — Steven Kotler

Have you ever gotten mentally worn out thinking about something you still haven’t done? You keep saying you’ll get around to it. This weekend. When things settle down. When you have more time. Meanwhile, you’re carrying it around and spending energy on the same unfinished commitment. Man, I know that feeling. Today’s random reading took me back to Steven Kotler’s The Art of Impossible and a chapter called “The Habit of Ferocity.” It hit me right where I needed it: developing the instinct to lean into a challenge before you negotiate your way out of taking action. In this episode, I share how I’m applying that idea to the little “micro pockets” of opportunity throughout the day. We talk about drive, goals, and grit; doing the next useful thing; and knowing when to delegate so you can empower someone else to get in the mix. This applies to your faith, family, fitness, finances, and fulfillment—both professionally and creatively. I also share a personal realization: I’ve spent years revisiting some of the same frustrations while walking my dogs in the morning. I’m ready to close those loops, and I’m practicing this right alongside you. Less time carrying the intention. More time living it. This comes from Steven Kotler's book The Art of Impossible, chapter “The Habit of Ferocity.” TEXT ME! Support the show 📣Who needs to hear this episode?

1027. Do You Have Sales Balls 🍒

Do you have sales balls? Sales is full of risk. Asking for the sale, following up, standing on price, challenging an objection, prospecting, cold calling—all of it requires you to risk rejection, embarrassment, wasted time, or feeling like you pushed too far. But here’s the shift: Most salespeople spend too much time focused on the risk they feel instead of the risk the customer feels. Your customer is weighing uncertainty too. Can I afford this? Is this the right decision? Can I trust this salesperson? Can I trust this company? Am I going to regret this? In this episode, I break down how to stop making sales risk about you and start helping your customer reduce theirs. I’ll give you four things to look for with every customer: • Why are they here? • What do they have now? • What isn’t being said? • How can you make the decision easier? Because sometimes the “NO” you hear is really “KNOW” in disguise—they simply don’t know enough yet to feel confident moving forward. The more you can identify, reduce, or eliminate that risk, the more valuable you become as a salesperson. And yes—that takes sales balls. Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.

1026. If You Fill Your Current Position, You'll Find Your Next One

You don’t have to wait for a promotion to move up. You can move up right now—in your discipline, decision-making, communication, problem-solving, responsibility, and ability to lead. In this episode, I share an idea I heard from Jason Rasti, president of Louisiana Dealer Services, on the No Box Checking podcast: you can move up without changing positions. That hit home for me because I’ve always said, “Play to the opportunity, not the position.” Too many people wait until they see the next opportunity before they start preparing for it. But by then, it may be too late. The next level brings new pressure, harder decisions, conflict, responsibility, and the expectation that you can draw the best out of other people. A title doesn’t prepare you for that. What you build before the title does. So if you feel like you’ve been overlooked, don’t waste the season you’re in. Build your capacity. Strengthen your weaknesses. Raise your standard. You don’t need anybody’s permission to move up. Fill your current position, and you’ll find your next one. TEXT ME!

1025. Your Words Say One Thing. Your Tone Says Another. Your Text Says Nothing.

In this episode, I’m talking directly to you about something that can quietly cost you sales: the difference between what you say, how you say it, and what gets lost when you hide behind text. This idea came from Napoleon Hill’s Law of Success , where he writes about enthusiasm, sincerity, and belief—and how customers can hear when you genuinely believe in what you’re offering. You can have the right numbers, the right product, and the right argument, but if your customer can’t feel your conviction, something is missing. We’ll talk about why persuasive selling is not self-service, why you need to be present when your customer is reviewing an offer, how to listen for uncertainty and the “yeah, buts,” and why courage and confidence are built through the effort of having the conversations you’d rather avoid. Your words say one thing. Your tone says another. Your text says nothing. If you want to stop acting like a commodity and start showing up with more conviction, sincerity, and belief in what you offer, this episode is for you. TEXT ME!

1024. 5 Ways To Be More Creative. (Even If You Think You're Not)

Most people don’t think they’re creative. I disagree. Creativity isn’t something you either have or you don’t. It’s a skill—and like any skill, you can develop it. In this episode, I’m giving you five practical ways to become more creative: learn to observe without immediately judging, collect ideas throughout your day, build an environment that feeds your thinking, study creative people and pioneers, and most importantly—actually do something with what you’re learning. Because creativity feeds your imagination. And imagination is what helps you take what you already know, combine it with your experiences, and see possibilities you couldn’t see before. You probably don’t need another book, another class, or another piece of information before you move forward. You may already have enough in the tank. What you need is to trust yourself enough to use it. So quit saying, “I’m just not creative.” Start exercising the muscle. Observe. Collect. Study. Create the environment. Then go do the thing. Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough. Peace. TEXT ME! Support the show 📣Who needs to hear this episode?

Why You’re Not Getting What You Want | Napoleon Hill’s Simple Rule for Success

Today's Random Reading is from Napoleon Hill's Law Of Success. He wrote that “the battle for the achievement of success is half won when you definitely know what you want.” In this episode, I break down why the what matters more than the how or when , and why “until” may be the only timeframe you need. Get definite about what you want, commit to a handful of simple actions, and stop disrupting your momentum by constantly looking up to see if it’s working. TEXT ME!

EP 1022: Why You Keep Sabotaging Your Own Success | 3 Forces Working Against You

Success isn’t only threatened by failure—it’s threatened by the forces that quietly convince you to stop doing the work. In this episode, inspired by Steven Pressfield’s Do the Work , I break down three forces that can sabotage your progress: resistance, rational thought, and friends and family. Learn how to recognize when you’re negotiating with yourself, giving in to comfort, or allowing other people’s expectations to keep you where you are—and why staying committed to your process is the way forward.

1021. "AND" Is The Price You Pay For The Life You Want

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t your circumstances—it’s your buts ? “I want to get in shape, but I’m too busy.” “I want to get out of debt, but I still want to eat out.” “I want to make more money, but I don’t want to do all that extra work.” In this episode, I unpack an idea from Seth Godin that I love: you can either live with your buts and accept the consequences, or turn those buts into ands . “I want to lose weight, and I understand I’ll have to track my calories and get up earlier.” “I want to be debt-free, and I understand I’ll have to give some things up.” The “and” is the price you’re willing to pay for the life you say you want. Your buts keep you negotiating with yourself. Your ands reinforce the commitment. And while the discomfort of changing can feel heavy at first, it’s temporary. Regret can last decades. You don’t have to change your entire life today. Make the shift, pay today’s dues, and keep moving. Which one are you going to live with: and or but? TEXT ME!

How to Solve Problems When You Feel Stuck

Episode 1020: In this episode, I want to challenge the way you think about imagination. Most people hear that word and immediately think of artists, filmmakers, inventors, or people who are naturally creative. And because they don’t see themselves that way, they assume imagination just isn’t one of their strengths. I don’t believe that. Napoleon Hill calls imagination “the workshop of the human mind.” That definition changes everything. Imagination isn’t fantasy. It’s the ability to take old ideas, established facts, past experiences, mistakes, skills, and lessons and put them together in new combinations. That matters when you feel stuck. Sometimes the problem isn’t that you need more information, more money, more time, or another opportunity. Sometimes you need to stop treating the facts of your situation like permanent limitations and start asking a better question: What else can I build with what I already have? I also share one simple practice I use to keep that workshop active: a few minutes of random reading to introduce new ideas and create new connections. Your experience is inventory. Your failures are inventory. Your old ideas are inventory. The workshop is already there. This episode is about learning how to use it again so you can see more possibilities, solve problems differently, and get moving when you feel stuck. Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough. TEXT ME! Support the show 📣Who needs to hear this episode?

The 30 Minutes That Saved My Life

Episode 1019: The Best Investment I've Ever Made Takes 30 Minutes a Day What if the biggest change in your life didn't require more money, more time, or another productivity hack? In this episode, I share the simple 30-minute habit that has shaped my thinking every single day since 2017—and why I believe it literally saved my life. This isn't about reading more books. It's about discovering ideas you never would have searched for, thinking more deeply, and applying one lesson every day. I explain why random reading unlocks creativity, strengthens focus, connects ideas in unexpected ways, and helps you change the narrative of your life. If you've ever said, "I don't have time to read," or "I just can't finish books," this episode is for you. Forget reading cover to cover. Learn a simple system of reading, writing, and applying that can be done in less than 30 minutes a day. Because the goal isn't to become well-read. The goal is to become well-applied. If this episode challenges you, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a message and tell me: What random book did you read today, what idea jumped out at you, and how did you apply it? Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough. TEXT ME! Support the show 📣Who needs to hear this episode?
