I’ve found that over the years, even when I knew where I wanted to go in life, the vision I wanted to achieve, I would be stuck, frustrated, and eventually just stop believing that I could get there.  Approximately a year and half ago, I discovered that applying the things I did in the areas in which I was successful, to the area(s) that I wasn’t, magic began to happen.

For example, I was successful in health and fitness, family relationships, work ethic, and making rock solid judgments, in an instant, during dignitary protection gigs.  Enjoying the freedom of financial independence and not having to ever worry about money issues again….not so much.

Why was I successful in health and fitness (i.e. seeing my abs for the first time in my life at 45 years of age)?  I read everything I could get my hands on, by the people who were already successful in seeing their abs.  I studied their books, blog posts, and websites like a scientist.  I meticulously read the science and medical studies they cited.  I learned “what to do, how to do it, and when to do it” and then applied what I learned.  I discarded anyone’s advice that hadn’t already achieved what I wanted to achieve.  No offense, but if you weren’t a fitness model or physique artist, I gave your stuff a pass.

What if I applied the principle of What to do, How to do it, and When to do it, to achieving my other goals and dreams? Right…..MAGIC!! My vision to be financially free, while doing the thing I love most, teaching Mental Toughness, had already been done.  It has only been done by one guy at the highest level of financial success, Steve Siebold.  I studied his writings, blog posts, and training materials like a scientist, and I still do.  But I took it a step further and became his apprentice, and the ride is MAGIC! Am I there yet? No, but now I am enjoying the ride, because just like seeing my abs, I will achieve financial freedom, doing what I love.

Here’s the take away: Dream your dream, and then go find someone that already knows what to do, how to do it, and when to do it, and then Forrest Gump whatever they tell you to do.

Boo Yah!!
