Momentum Monday

99% of people that you know don’t really care about what’s going on in your life. When you can truly accept this, it’s a liberating realization. It puts you in a position of power where you can take action, free of the fear of judgment from others.

But sometimes, that’s easier said than done. That’s why in today’s episode of Life By Design, I’m going to share with you a few reasons why this fear exists, and then I’ll share with you a few strategies that have helped me crush this fear that you can use to take action today.

Just remember, on the other side of worrying about what people think of you is an amazing life.

A lot of small business owners think they’re running a business, when in reality they actually just have a self-employed job. 

The difference between being self-employed and having a business system is either a life of burnout and stress… or a life of freedom and opportunities.

So in today's episode, I’m going to go in detail on the 4 steps to creating a systematized business that will buy your life back. Here’s what to watch for:

1) Avoid personality driven businesses.

2) Make sure your business isn’t actually just a job. 

3) Learn to let go of being the system. 

4) Use your system to create infinite opportunities.

Early on in business, I didn’t like talking about my story. I didn’t like how my Crohn’s disease and my childhood experience, feeding myself with a tube down my nose just to grow, made me feel like a victim.

Then one day a mentor pulled me aside and taught me that my story was what made me relatable. He taught me that my hardships, that overcoming the sick-kid-narrative that I had to grow through, was inspirational and helped me connect with others.

Your story is what brings people together and creates a connection with them. It’s your story that helps people decide if they want to do business with you or not.

Every setback in your past is the opportunity for a comeback in your future.

Listen to this podcast to change the narrative.

Every time I’ve been stagnant in my life and okay with getting less results than usual, it’s because I was holding a lower standard for myself.

When you raise your standard, you automatically become more disciplined, self-accountable and successful. You’ll start comparing your current results to your past. 

Raising your standard is the missing ingredient to get you to the next level.

A question I get asked often: What sets apart a 6-figure from a 7-figure mindset? 

Most people think that in order to make seven figures a year, you need to get lucky, or be connected or join an industry at the exact right time. Although these things might factor in to a total of 5%, 95% of what it takes to make seven figures is in the way you think.

Today, I’m going to be breaking it down and sharing with you guys what I have learned.

In this podcast,  I explain the mindset shift that you need to go through, on your way to earning 7 figures per year.

Today we are talking about why it’s important to listen before you speak. And really, it’s about learning to listen before you speak. I don’t think any of us are natural listeners, it’s something we have to develop over time. But I have noticed in today’s society, is that there are way more people speaking than listening than ever before.

So here’s my question to you: Are you really listening to your clients? A prospect? 

 By giving your undivided attention to your customers and truly hearing what they have to say, you can gain their trust and build a connection that goes beyond a simple transaction. When you take the time to listen to your customers' needs, concerns, and preferences, you can offer personalized solutions that show them you truly care about their success.

One thing that most successful entrepreneurs have in common is that they are OBSESSED with increasing their net worth. And I can't blame them!

Cash flow cannot be your financial indicator, especially if you spend more than you earn. Although it can give you a good life, but that's only for a little while. Therefore, what's more important is to focus on increasing your NET WORTH. It will help build a strong financial legacy you can pass down to the next generation!

With self-confidence, you can fight any battle! It gives you inner belief whether you can achieve a particular goal or not.

In this podcast, you will learn how I kept building my self-confidence until I became unstoppable toward my goals. Apply these in your daily lives and be ready to see how it changes the way you perceive yourself, your decision-making process, and your overall well-being.

In this podcast, I'll share with you my survival guide and how my haters helped me CLEARLY see where I am today.

I realized that haters are good! You need them because they indicate that you're doing well in life! You got them because you're ahead of the game. There's something in you that's missing in them.

If you're stagnant and not making progress, would someone bother to track you down or where you at in life? Would you think someone will try to diminish your power if you're not shining more than enough?

Keep moving forward at full speed to the beat of your march. Stop worrying about what other people think or what the haters say behind your back. Instead, join me in saying a little prayer for all the people that have been hoping and wishing for you to fail.

This 2022, I'm thankful for all my blessings! But what I'm most truly grateful for are the non-tangible things I learned that changed my mindset and perspective.

While it might be challenging, I'd still go on this path! Because whether I was at my lowest or highest, there was always a lesson for me to learn. And to these 2022 lessons and fresh perspectives, I owe my BEST SELF. Indeed, every season of my life shaped me into the person I am today.

This is why I trained myself to focus on "what the situation is trying to teach me" vs. "how hard the situation is." And maybe, you should start doing that, too!

To be asked and to answer "what are you looking for in your next job?" is easy. But, to start looking for a career that has all your hopes and dreams is challenging!

In this podcast, get to know why recruiting can be the answered prayer for your dream career when it comes to flexibility, change, a positive environment, and more!

It's about time to regain control of your life and explore more significant opportunities in the recruitment industry. If you're tired of the same BS and looking for a change, then it's more than enough reason to enter the business.

This is going to be controversial, but you need to hear this!

Self-made millionaires are NOT REAL. 😮🤭
There's not a person in this world who became successful and rich through their efforts ALONE. 

Along the way, wealthy people needed to reach out to people to build a powerful team. And that process is RECRUITING! They're not alone in the grind. They created a team of crusaders who believed in their cause. They imparted their vision - made them see they can be part of something bigger. They made these people fight the battle with them more than they're willing to fight for themselves.

So in this podcast, I share with you why RECRUITING is powerful. I listed several reasons how it can truly and dramatically help you get everything you want in life. No more trading your precious hours for dollars and hoping you'd become self-made one day. That's torture! 

Master the art of RECRUITING and join the parade of millionaires, which starts now until the next 50 years and beyond! 

There's a champion in all of us. We just need to find it! In this video I interview a champion in life, Trapper Goldsmith. We talk about setbacks, how to overcome challenges, and how to have a comeback in life. If he can do, if I can do it, you can too!

You are exactly who you BELIEVE yourself to be!

If you want to keep losing, that is exactly what you will do.

If you want to keep WINNING, that is exactly what you will do!

Who do you want to be?

If you aren’t the winner yet, that’s okay!

All it takes is a mindset shift!

In this episode we are going to go over the 5 Reasons Why Winners Keep Winning:

1. Winner’s Surround Themselves with Other Winners!
2. Winners are Hyper Focused on the Ultimate Goal
3. Winners Use All the Doubters as Motivation
4. Winners are Not Afraid of Feedback
5. Winners Expect to Win

During this crazy year, we have seen a lot of loss. However, we have also seen a lot of opportunities!

In this episode, we are going to go over what has changed since the pandemic started, and what we may have learned.

There are 5 things (in my opinion) that have had a SIGNIFICANT impact due to the COVID-19 virus:
