And one of the things we talked about at the Summit of Greatness was that humans create futures in the same way that silkworms create silk. And beavers naturally intrinsically create dams and ants create colonies, and bees create beehives and honey, humans create futures. But it's so intrinsic to who we are that we do not realize that's our unique contribution to all the species on the planet.[13:05 - 13:46] Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem  I'm absolutely convinced that if you want to find proof of God, look at human nature. Human beings were created to dream, and to imagine, and to create. It's one of the things I love telling people is, look, you were born in the imagination of God. God imagined you before you existed. In that sense, God dreamed about you before you ever had your first dream. And but you were, imagined to imagine, and you were created to create. And that every human being is both a work of art and an artist at work. And I just love the fact that the best reflection of the image of God is when a human being creates good in the world.Topic: The 7 Frequencies of Communication[23:07 - 24:01] Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem  I'm just gonna lay 'em out real quick. There's a frequency called MOTIVATOR, which inspires and encourages. There's a frequency called CHALLENGER that calls people out and calls people up. There's a frequency called COMMANDER that tells people what to do and takes authority and control. There's a frequency called HEALER that sees everyone as broken and they want to bring healing and care. There's a frequency called the PROFESSOR. They think all that matters is the information and the facts, and all they want to do is create a transference of knowledge. There's a frequency called SEER, and they're vision casters. They're visionaries and they elevate the room by helping people see a different picture of the future, a bigger picture of their life and of the world. And then there's a frequency called the MAVEN, and a maven is a psychological mental disruptor. They change paradigms, they change the way you see reality. Those are the seven frequencies. [35:11 - 36:00] Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem  I think one of the great challenges people have is that they keep trying to find their purpose in their career or in their job, or in what they do. And actually, your purpose should be rooted in who you are, who you're becoming, not what you're doing. Because, if your purpose is your job and you lose your job, you've lost your purpose. If your purpose is your career and you've lost your career, you've lost your purpose. If your purpose is your success and then you have a downturn and you lose that success, you've lost your purpose. And that's why so many people go through a crisis of purpose is because their purpose was externalized in something that was outside of their control. When your purpose is outside of your control, you're in danger of losing your purpose. The only thing within your control is the person you choose to become.[38:27 - 39:10] Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem So I said, all right, you've lost that billion dollars, but you've gained a billion dollars worth of experience. You're not the same person you were. You're like exponentially more powerful, more knowledgeable, and you are bringing so much more to the table now than you did then. So if you could create a billion dollars from the person you were then, how much can you create with the person you are now?  And I've watched all of them rise back up, because it's not about having a million dollars or a billion dollars, it's about the person that makes you, the person you must become, to create that kinda wealth and that kind of future.[46:30 - 46:57]  Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem When you love what you're doing, you have more energy. So what I would say is, instead of saying, get outta bed and stop sleeping and stop being a bum and stop being lazy, I go, Hey, stop doing what you hate and find a way to do what you love and you only have one life. If, even if you spend your life making a hundred million dollars if you spent your whole life working, but you haven't enjoyed a single day, what did you make?[52:10 - 53:05] Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem And, so when people say you need to focus, some of it is there are people who have been given this rare gift to have one talent, and that one talent becomes the full expression of their life. I happen to not be that talented,  and so my talents are diversified and my talent is in my diversity. My talent is in the uniqueness of my diversification. And I'm able to express that talent in multiple things. I think where it becomes a problem is when you're doing things that you shouldn't be doing. The things that you don't have the talent to do or things that you don't have the passion to do or things you don't have the skill to do. And the way of knowing if you're doing too many things is are you having to cheat the process? If you're cheating the process, you shouldn't be doing it.[1:03:20 - 1:04:17] Erwin McManus ⭐Gold Gem And what is amazing is, what the study showed was that creativity and genius isn't something you learn, it's something you have to hold onto, and that actually human beings are created intrinsically creative. That every human being has a unique genius to them.But the ones we identify as geniuses, the Einsteins, the Picassos, the Mozarts, the Stephen Hawkings, the Elon Musk, the geniuses that we identify, they were not born rare, they remained rare. I think we're all born rare and most of us die ordinary and that's to me is the tragedy, is that there's intrinsic genius and I feel like that's one of my missions in life is to try to unlock the intrinsic genius inside of every human being. And to help people first be aware of the fact that there is a genius inside of you.RESOURCESWebsites and Social Media links:Instagram: @erwinmcmanusFacebook: Erwin Raphael McManushttps://theartofcommunication.org/https://thegeniusof.com/https://mosaic.org/Book Mentioned:The Genius of Jesus by Erwin Raphael McManusThe Way of the Warrior by Erwin Raphael McManusPitch Anything by Oren KlaffFlip the Script by Oren KlaffLevels of Energy by Frederick Dodson-------------------Commit First is a Personal Development Podcast for Entrepreneurs and can be found on:Our website →Apple Podcasts →Spotify ->Youtube →Or on any other favorite podcast player app.--------------🙌 Be sure to follow Sagi Shrieber on Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/sagishrieber/

Episode 132: Understand Your Past Triggers And Heal Your Future Self (w/ Dr. Nima Rahmany)Today on the show, we have Dr. Nima Rahmany. Dr. Nima is a retired chiropractor that went into working with healing, based on cognitive and somatic-based tools. Basically what Dr. Nima does is, he helps people break trauma bonds and heal trauma bonds, which we will talk about on the show.And he's talking about the connection between our fantasies of love, sex, and money and how we can heal those kinds of traumas and cure our past in order to create a better future. It was an amazing conversation, full value, and I would love for you guys to hear this. Before we do, I just want to ask you, if you love the show, please share it with someone that can benefit from this show. So thank you again and enjoy.Brought to you by...Our very own app! Affirmations & Co - Crush Limiting Beliefs and Manifest Your Goals with Affirmations!Follow others, get inspired by their affirmations and make them your own, add reminders of your OWN affirmations on your phone, and add widgets to help you manifest quickly!Get it on the app store or Google Play:iOS (Apple App Store) →Android (Google Play) →-------------------Gold GemsDr. Nima ⭐Gold Gem  Number one, I could make sure I can figure out, how did I get here? Number two, how do I make sure this never happens again? And if I can, and then if I can do number one and number two, can I potentially have a healthy relationship? The answer is yes. And if I can do these three, then number four, which is how do I teach other people how to not go through the exact same pathway that I did? So that's really the backstory of why I'm teaching it.Dr. Nima ⭐Gold Gem  Most of the time relationships are fantasies. They're in a fantasy, and what I discovered, is that's why every relationship I was having, I was divorced back in 2011, every relationship was failed, a failed relationship because I was entering them thinking that the other person is there to heal me from my insecurities and make me happy and all of our unresolved woundings from childhood are going to be saved by the other person. And that fails miserably when we enter that with the covert agreement that that's what's gonna happen, the relationship is doomed to fail. Dr. Nima ⭐Gold GemNow there's an option here, you either project that past wounding onto the other person and say, “Why are you doing this to me”? Which, you both are gonna be doing this to one another.Or you learn the skills of understanding your wounding, your attachment distress responses, fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. This is what happens when you get into conflict. You fight, (poke), you flight (run), “I'm getting the hell outta here”. You freeze, which is you hide or you just shut down or you fawn, which means just fixing. Let's just fix, abandon yourself and fix.Dr. Nima ⭐Gold GemTrauma is stuck, stored energy in our system. If you take on the work of shifting that stored traumatic energy through the system, your partner that used to trigger all of those past stuff, all of a sudden they'll say the thing that won't evoke the same response in you. Option number one, the dynamic shifts and arising tide lift all boats and the relationship transforms.Dr. Nima ⭐Gold GemWhat I do is I work with people and get 'em to a place where they have an open heart and they can move on. What's the most loving thing for both parties to do? And sometimes the most loving thing is to move on. That's the question. The work is to get the person to a place where they can have a deep love for themselves. When you have a deep love for yourself, you won't tolerate being treated less than that. So a lot of people do move on and a lot of people, the relationship dynamic completely changes. And it's a work in progress. Dr. Nima ⭐Gold GemWhy do we step over these red flags when it comes to love? When it comes to sex, and it comes to money? And the answer to that is "FANTASY". We have fantasies from childhood when it comes to love. When it comes to sexuality, we have sexual trauma. There is your first sexual experience. Oftentimes, there's incest with family members. This is gonna be very triggering to a lot of people, but we talk about it very openly. Our sexual identity, our love identity, and our money identity comes from past experiences, our cultureDr. Nima ⭐Gold GemIf you don't experience that level of feeling seen and attuned emotionally by a conscious parent, a fantasy gets implanted with love. I'm gonna have somebody make, totally adore and worship me with money. Oh, I'm gonna be rich and famous. So now you have this fantasy of I wanna be famous,Dr. Nima ⭐Gold GemSo what happens is when you get into a relationship with somebody, two people have these uncovered fantasies that they project onto one another called a shared fantasy. And this is what fuels the trauma bond, it's the shared fantasy. And so part of healing from a trauma bond is dismantling that fantasy and really finding appreciation in reality. Changing your relationship to dopamine and getting the reward of the fame or the likes and the whatever, and to really give, learn how to give that to self.Dr. Nima ⭐Gold GemIt's like you've been born into a fishbowl with dirty water. You're saying, how do you heal from that? You gotta get out of that fishbowl. You gotta be planted into an aquarium that's clean or a garden where the soil has been toxic and deficient. You gotta remove yourself from that and put yourself in healthy soil and learn how to create a boundary around that soil that says, this is who I am. So now when you go in different places and other people have opinions about you that are different than you, you're able to say, no, this is what I feel about me regardless, and that is a spiritual journey.Dr. Nima ⭐Gold GemThe first place to begin starts to learn how to the different parts of the nervous system and learn what they feel like when they get activated and how to operate the machinery.Because without that, business doesn't work. Your relationship with money wouldn't work. Your intimate partnerships, they're always, you're always activating one another. Yep. So this was critical information that I really needed to learn and so I teach what I most need to learn now.RESOURCESWebsites and Social Media links:IG: @drnimaFB: Trigger Proof Regulate Stress & Strengthen Immunity during a CrisisMain website: https://drnima.com/-------------------Commit First is a Personal Development Podcast for Entrepreneurs and can be found on:Our website →Apple Podcasts →Spotify ->Youtube →Or on any other favorite podcast player app.--------------🙌 Be sure to follow Sagi Shrieber on Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/sagishrieber/

Episode 131: How to get Productive & Generate Monetary Success Even When You're a Creative (w/Didi Medina)Today on the show we have Didi Medina. Didi is a product design and leadership consultant. He's been in the game for over 10 years in the tech industry, working with companies in New York, San Francisco, here in Israel, and all over the world. He's very much like me, in the way that we both come from the tech world with over 10 years of experience in product design.  He managed to get to a very high income while also being that creative, that guy that starts many projects, just like a lot of us.Didi is here to talk about that, not specifically the figures, but how do you get productive? How do you manage to start a project? Finish your project. How do you become resilient? How do we not stop in the face of adversity? What is the right mindset to have about these things? Didi has such an amazing, tremendous concept about all these things from his experience and his unique philosophy, which you will see. Guys, enjoy this episode, the Commit First podcast with Didi Medina. Let's begin!Brought to you by...Our very own app! Affirmations & Co - Crush Limiting Beliefs and Manifest Your Goals with Affirmations!Follow others, get inspired by their affirmations and make them your own, add reminders of your OWN affirmations on your phone, and add widgets to help you manifest quickly!Get it on the app store or Google Play:iOS (Apple App Store) →Android (Google Play) →-------------------Timestamps & Gold Gems:[5:57 - 6:22] Didi Medina ⭐Gold Gem  You'll think like most artists would define themselves as successful as an artist if it makes over a certain dollar or not. Which kind of brings us to a very simple point. It's like, you have to have the humility to accept that certain things are better than, “I'm making money than others”. And you cannot make certain things become the vehicle to the billion-dollar baby if it's not optimized for that.[9:40 - 10:52] Didi Medina ⭐Gold Gem  Everything that has a bigger reward tends to take longer and requires relatively more pain and adversity to overcome. You're not gonna get through that, to see the other side of your work unless you can keep yourself lonely-headed, and whatever works for you in that process is a blessing. Some people find the gym to be a way to keep themselves grounded and patient and calm the process. And other people find affirmations to be, in some people, do a hybrid in both, and some people do yoga. I think whatever it is you choose to do, there's a bunch of different tools. I think it's fair to assume that anything you pursue to do that has delayed returns, right? It's like I start work, I break ground today, I'm probably going, gonna see the fruits of my labor in a year plus from now.  In any sort of meaningful way and probably like in a substantial way, like even further down the line.You're gonna have to stomach a lot of like, patience and there are all these tools are very useful in calling yourself fuck down. Yeah. And just taking it, step by step[15:37 - 15:56] Didi Medina ⭐Gold GemThere's a whole like psychological paradox that explains that one with the Dunning-Kruger effect. It explains our confidence towards things, right? Like it's on a, it's an inverse belt curve. It's like when you know very little about something, you're very confident about it. As you learn more about it, you get very petrified about it, and as you become an expert and you're very confident and comfortable[16:43 - 17:58] Didi Medina ⭐Gold Gem  The way I usually like to reference it is like, people have to be both methodical and disciplined, right? It's if you're all disciplined, you can work really hard in the wrong direction. If you're all methodical, with no discipline, you can be a complete philosopher, right?And you need to have enough methodology to put your hard work to good use, which is not given. Working hard does not mean it's being applied in the right way. You can learn really fast and hard in the wrong direction. That is absolutely possible. Yeah. So you need to know how to cycle through that sometimes if you find yourself working really hard, Not getting to the results you want.Having the humility to step back and being like, maybe it's not about me, not trying hard enough. It's about me applying that effort to the wrong place and really trying to reflect. Other times you can find yourself overthinking it, over-planning something to death, and being like trying to convince yourself, out of every possible risk.And that's also a good time to just,  shut up and just do learn. And then when you get to the bottom of that curve, like then make the decisions on what is and what isn't, cuz your brain is gonna both for better and for worse, try to make assumptions way too far into the pipe in advance to try to protect you.[24:31 - 25:26] Didi Medina ⭐Gold Gem The experiential level of your body is going to conflict with what you understand intellectually. And that's where these tools really come in, they police your emotional level, meditating right? A little bit more can help slow down that response of going from, I feel a lot of control to needing to do something about it.Yeah. So that's yeah. All those tools really help slow down that emotional state to try to keep up, with what you already understand to be true on an intellectual level. And I think like over time as you take on more risk and you tolerate more risk and you get more comfortable with just risk being all around you, your tolerance goes up, you'll find needing these tools less and less for those reasons. [26:27 - 26:58] Didi Medina ⭐Gold Gem One thing that I do is, I found it I think from Tim Ferris a long time ago. It's like one of those things that like all the methodologies and ways of doing things. This thing, this one stuck with me was like, Fear-Setting, right? It's the human condition that is programmed to be afraid of loss more than it is programmed to pursue opportunity, right? So if you're trying to understand why you're reacting to something in a certain way, that doesn't make sense to you. [29:39 - 30:07] Didi Medina ⭐Gold Gem Write problems that you're trying to solve. Talk to people who've already solved it. That's the hard rule. It's like, don't ask people to help theorize what they think would work if they were in your shoes or whatever.It's very dangerous. Like you don't need more speculation, right? It's like you wanna solve problem X, find someone who's already solved it, and then go talk to them. You'll get a whole different experience. So that's like number one, right? And then if you can't get mentors, be your own mentor.RESOURCES:Websites and Social Media links:https://www.didimedina.com/https://twitter.com/thatguydidiFear-Setting: The Most Valuable Exercise I Do Every Month By Tim FerrisFear-Setting TemplateBook Mentioned:The Coddling of the American Mind by Jonathan Haidt  & Greg Lukianoff -------------------Commit First is a Personal Development Podcast for Entrepreneurs and can be found on:Our website →Apple Podcasts →Spotify ->Youtube →Or on any other favorite podcast player app.--------------🙌 Be sure to follow Sagi Shrieber on Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/sagishrieber/ 

How Affirmations WorkToday we're gonna talk about how affirmations work. Before we get into that, we need to discover why affirmations in the first place, why do we need them? I will also talk about some tips in order to make affirmations work. Even if you don't believe it yet, you will see how powerful they are.Brought to you by...Our very own app! Affirmations & Co - Crush Limiting Beliefs and Manifest Your Goals with Affirmations!Follow others, get inspired by their affirmations and make them your own, add reminders of your OWN affirmations on your phone, and add widgets to help you manifest quickly!Get it on the app store or Google Play:iOS (Apple App Store) →Android (Google Play) →-------------------Timestamps & Gold Gems:Belief System and How the Brain Works[1:30 - 2:06]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  The belief system is basically comprised of neural networks that are in our brain, in order to create some kind of purpose for anything that comes out of the external world. Let's talk about how the brain works for a second. So whenever we have some kind of external stimulus, for instance, we see something or we hear something, something that comes through our senses or just sparks in our neocortex in like thoughts, memories, you know, in our brain. And so what happens is we automatically process those thoughts or information and give them meaning. Meaning is sometimes, emotions.[5:48 - 6:15]Sagi ShrieberA neural network that was formed when you were five years old starts gaining evidence from that day onward until you're about 35, 38, whatever age you are right now, and all these years of collecting evidence just make you really, really sure of that knowledge, thought, wisdom that you think you have might not be the truth. It's just a neural network, sometimes we're not even aware of those neural networks.[7:40 - 8:07]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  We don't control our feelings. We don't control the external stimulus. What do we control in life then? How can we not move about just like robots, you know, determine how we were kind of wired and programmed when we were kids?The only thing that we can control are our thoughts and starting to change neural networks. Actually, it's starting to build new neural networks on top of the existing ones that we want to change.Inner Chatter[9:31 - 9:56]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem Think about how many conversations you have in every single day and what is the percentage that you have them with other people, and what is the percentage that you have them with yourself? You probably have way more with yourself, right. And who is that person talking to you? Well, turns out the person that's talking to you, probably in most cases, according to studies, is the voice of your caregivers when you were a child.[11:06 - 11:23]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem One tip for that, besides affirmations by the way, is to talk to yourself in third person. And a lot of professional athletes and people who got to great achievements, claim to be talking to themselves in third person, including I think Muhammad Ali and all the big stars. That's in order to achieve greatness, you kinda have to coach yourself.How Does Affirmations Work?[11:33 - 11:54]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem Affirmations work, by you, repeating thoughts or something you wanna instill in your subconscious, multiple times. Hopefully you are reading it out loud. The reason you wanna read it out loud is because we as humans, we tend to learn and understand that we understand better by the ears. Like whatever we hear coming through our ears into our brain. [13:09 - 13:29]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem This is a tip for anyone who tried affirmations and it didn't work for you. Think about it like that. You tried, it didn't work for you.So what are you doing now? Now you have to get over that hurdle, okay? You have to understand that this is what your body, your mind, your thought process is trying to, is basically fighting against this new belief because it doesn't believe it[14:11 - 14:28]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem You have to get over that hurdle, where you repeat it over and over, and at the beginning, you won't believe it. Slowly but surely, you'll not even need to believe it because now that new neural pathway is just starting out, and now it's starting to collect evidence without you even recognizing it.RESOURCESEpisode 126: 5 Tips To Start Leveling Up Your Fitness Chatter book by Ethan Cross-------------------Commit First is a Personal Development Podcast for Entrepreneurs and can be found on:Our website →Apple Podcasts →Spotify ->Youtube →Or on any other favorite podcast player app.--------------🙌 Be sure to follow Sagi Shrieber on Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/sagishrieber/

Recharge Your Business Mind and Escape BurnoutLife is full of negativity and pressure and stresses, and you need to step out of that, right, and shield yourself with positivity. The question is how?In this episode, we'll explore the causes of burnout in business and provide tips on how to revitalize yourself in nature. Tune in to learn more about how to find balance, joy, and peace in your life.Brought to you by...Our very own app!

The way to do that is get out of the city stress, go out on walks and hikes in nature. It's one of the best places to go to get new ideas and to refresh your mind. It's amazing and it's really important for your wellbeing. [1:46 - 2:07]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  One of the reasons I take walks in nature and all that stuff is to revitalize myself and my energy and kind of make sure that I have enough vital energy to be productive during the day and to take myself out of stresses and full on stresses and pressure of everyday life as an entrepreneur and business owner, which is extremely, extremely full of adversity and stress.[2:10 - 2:29]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  What I think makes you burn out first of all, is if you work on something that you are not in full integrity with, meaning it's not something that you feel you will get to your dream life with, and you work and you wake up every day to work at that, that will get you burned out when you work hard on something which is not aligned with your vision.[3:14 - 3:37]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  That second form of burnout can happen if you are working as a business owner towards your goals and dreams and working very hard because it takes real effort and you have to put in the time to get to where you want to get and that's what I'm doing right now, and the stresses of that and the ongoing struggle and adversity is something that I right now am dealing with, and I think a lot of business owners struggle with.[3:57 - 4:16]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  Just to touch up on one more thing is like there's all the gurus that are saying like, just get the job done. Need to get the job done. Don't be a p*ssy,  all that stuff. I mean, there's also the different people that are saying, yeah, just need to get to what you need to get done.Don't think you need a morning routine, whatever, like in order to be successful.  F*ck that sh*t. Your energy is more important than anything.-------------------Commit First is a Personal Development Podcast for Entrepreneurs and can be found on:Our website →Apple Podcasts →Spotify ->Youtube →Or on any other favorite podcast player app.--------------🙌 Be sure to follow Sagi Shrieber on Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/sagishrieber/

2 Ways To Start A Business When You Don’t Have Any FundsIn this episode, one person came to us today and he was like an artist and he wants to develop his business as an artist, but he is like a very talented artist, but at the moment, his art is not selling. So I just wanted to share some of the insights that we gave.Brought to you by...Our very own app!

This whole like social media thing, right? And I wouldn't be able to grow it in the direction that I want to. And again, it comes to the long-term vision cause when you have that long-term vision, you can actually do it. If you don't have that long-term vision, then you're stuck. You can chase your own tail. So one direction is to self-fund it, bootstrap it, work your way, build a business around your superpowers.[2:49 - 3:02] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemIf you don't have the long-term vision and all you want to do now is your gut feeling, which is I’m going to work on my art or on this new direction, which is not going to bring me money, probably around like the upcoming months or even years, then you're not doing the right thing.[3:15 - 3:31] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemThe other thing we just told him is there's another route. You can get investment, right? But that means you're putting all your focus right now, on finding an investor on meeting and pitching investors and getting some funds in to fund your operation, right? Like a startup like a lot of companies do, which is ok.[4:06 - 4:21] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemI am a bootstrapper by heart. If I bring money in, it would be out of the pure necessity of bringing an investor in because it's a strategic move or I've figured out the product market fit and now you know I can grow. This is why you bring investment in, mostly.-------------------Commit First is a Personal Development Podcast for Entrepreneurs and can be found on:Our website →Apple Podcasts →Spotify ->Youtube →Or on any other favorite podcast player app.--------------🙌 Be sure to follow Sagi Shrieber on Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/sagishrieber/

That our society and our caretakers in our environment and the card that we were dealt, forced a belief system into our life and preconceived notions that are very, very hard to change.So how can we change that? How can we breakthrough into what we wanna create in this world because of that limiting belief system, those preconceived notions, that limitation of where we come from sometimes is a glass ceiling that we need to break in order to get to where we wanna get.BUILD ON YOUR CHARACTER[2:14 - 2:48] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemThe word character, do you know where it comes from? It comes from the actual tool, chisel, to chisel away at something and to chisel away, meaning that the same thing that sculptures use to create those amazing sculptures that you see in museums. That's exactly it, chisel. So a chiseling process is a very careful, delicate process, but very intentional. And sometimes we gotta use force and sometimes we gotta chisel very delicately. We don't want to chisel it too much, but it's an intentional process and we can do that with ourselves[3:01 - 3:25] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemNumber one is work on your integrity. A lot of people say and claim they're great people, then they cut off people on the road and they do all kinds of stuff, which is like in the micro. But here's the thing. Your life is led by your micro decisions. Your micro decision is what really, really matters in the day-to-day. So work on your integrity and work on being the number one human being that you can be. [3:25- 4:05] Sagi ShrieberWork on your emotional state management. Now, this is very important. Listen, it comes up to the kind of mysticism or spiritual side, but it's very, very practical and scientific. So we don't control the feelings once they happen. Once they're there, we don't control them and we don't control anything that is external that just happened to us. We don't control those as well. The only thing that we can control is our neural networks. The things inside our mind, right inside our head, which actually is a scientific thing. So it's not the mind, it's the brain, right? So we can control our thoughts about things and our judgment of things that are happening.[5:41 - 06:06] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemWork on faith and faith is a habit as far as I care. I mean, for me, faith was not there so much, and you have to have faith. If you wanna be an entrepreneur, you gotta work on your faith. And yes, that means a bit of spirituality in the mix because you know what? You gotta have faith that everything will turn out for the better. And not having faith, it's meaning basically to be in fear a lot of the times.[6:52 - 07:10] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemHal Elrod wrote a book called The Miracle Equation and in that book he says, to really see miracles happen in your life and business, you really just gotta have tremendous amount of faith over a long period of time, combined with hard work and that way you'll see magic happenWORK ON YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS[7:24- 7:37] Sagi ShrieberSo what you need to do is an intentional process of affirmations. But that's the first part of affirmation. Affirmation is step number one, and if you want, you can also download our app Affirmations and Co.[7:57 - 8:15] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemWhen you write affirmation, you should think about what do I want to get done in this world? What are my goals? What are my dreams? Write those down. You can write whatever you want regarding any goal you have, and then when you read it, think about what limiting beliefs pop up regarding that affirmation.[9:25 - 9:37] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemNumber two, I would say in order to work on your integrity. Integrity is matching your values with your actions but it's also kind of like I'm going to do what I'm saying I'm gonna do. So if you say you're gonna do something, then you do it.RESOURCESBooks mentioned:The Miracle Equation by Hal ElrodCultivating an Unshakable Character by Jim Rohn75 Hard Challenge by Andy FrisellaHow hard is the 75 Hard by Sagi Shrieber (Youtube episode)-------------------Commit First is a Personal Development Podcast for Entrepreneurs and can be found on:Our website →Apple Podcasts →Spotify ->Youtube →Or on any other favorite podcast player app.--------------🙌 Be sure to follow Sagi Shrieber on Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/sagishrieber/

5 Tips To Start Leveling Up Your FitnessIn this episode, I will answer a question that was sent to me by one of my followers. The questions is:“Hey Sagi, I've been following you for years and it seems that in recent years you made a significant change in the way that you approach life and health and your fitness and I wonder how I can level up my fitness and teach myself to be persistent. Persistent in training and in nutrition, and basically get to new higher grounds. How can I do that? Can you give me some tips? Even if they involve paying someone or something like that? I would love to know.”And I will answer this with the 5 things you need to know in order to level up your mental gain, your fitness, and your nutrition all in one take. Let’s begin.Brought to you by...Our very own app!

It's not one quote for everything, and a lot of people are not even investing in themselves in hiring a proper coach[3:20 - 3:45] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  You know our ignorance sometimes, it's like preventing us from actually knowing what we need in order to have clarity of vision and actually have a vision in the first place. And so when we get a coach, they help us understand first, like what do we need to aim for? What do we wanna aim for? What is the difference between the goals that we can strive for? Then we can get to choose and pick, and they will help us get there[5:48 - 6:20 ] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  So if you work with the right professionals in every field, then you get to where you need to go. Tip number one, like I said, hire a coach and hire multiple coaches and coach for everything you need. The right professionals that will be there on your team. Imagine yourself as the boxer, the professional athlete, and on your ring side. That's where you need to form the team that will give you the proper guidance. And also help you throughout the camp to get to where you need to go and win the fight#2 Become a Student and Practitioner of Persistence[ 6:43 - 6:59 ] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  In order to become a student and practitioner of persistence, let's understand what persistence is. So the meaning and the definition of persistence is to continue to do something in a determined way, even when facing challenges and opposition[9:04 - 9:28 ] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  People with a fixed mindset would get to a point where they try to go to the gym or muscles hurt, or even maybe they got really, really strained or injured like slightly at the gym the first time, whatever, they will quit because they would say, maybe it's not for me.The people with the growth mindset would say, oh, I'm feeling my muscles are aching. Yes, that means I'm making progress. Those are the growth minded peopleTopic: Commit First episodes with Dr. Ryan Gottfredson[ 9:56- 10:17 ] Sagi ShrieberSo episode number 67 is about the four types of mindset and there's also episode number 51 with Dr. Ryan Gottfredson, which is an amazing episode. And there's a new episode, it's episode number 120. Episode number 120 is amazing, also with Dr. Ryan Gottfredson. Each of them is just gold, so enjoy these episodes and let me know how you find them. [10:18 - 10:42 ] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  You have to understand what procrastination is because a lot of the times we procrastinate on doing something we know we need to do, that we even committed to, but then we don't do it. Why don't we do it? Well, we don't do it because we procrastinate on it, but then we need to understand what procrastination is. Procrastination is basically the avoidance of doing something that you know is difficult, but you need to do. #3 Make Time & #4 Re-align your Values [12:25 - 12:44 ] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  Our families don't have us if we, don't have us, our family won't have us. So the value of family completely is just gone if we don't take care of yourself, if we don't put ourselves first. And so check yourself, check your values. What are your values? Now, if you value your mental and physical health, make time for it.[13:20 - 13:41] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  I did what I call the 9-12 club where I slept until like 7:00 AM when needed to wake up and get the kids ready for school and everything instead of waking up early for a morning routine, which is the preferred way of an entrepreneur to kind of like wake up before the whole world wakes up and wants you on their agenda and you need to serve your kids and your family. #5 Just Start[15:16 - 15:36] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  So just start. I mean, it's so easy not to start, that's procrastination like we talked about before. But the start thing is so important. So when I was designing, I remember someone gave me a tip. He said, Sagi, you know what? The hardest thing about any project is starting the project is actually like opening Photoshop and starting to design things in Photoshop[16:30 - 16:20] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemSo what is it for you? Maybe it's like putting even your fitness shoes on. Maybe it's getting out the door. Like do it step by step. Don't procrastinate on small steps. It's very easy to procrastinate on a large thing, but when it comes to the little thing, it's so easy. Drive to the gym. Go to the gym. Okay. We'll do it step by step.[15:59 - 16:48] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemHave patience. Maybe that's the sixth thing, I guess. But it's kinda like when you start, don't let people expect immediate results for anything that they do. Persistence is not about just mental and physical fitness, nutrition, getting leaner or gaining mass, like it's a process and it's a process of years.RESOURCESCommit First Podcast and Episodes with Dr. Ryan GottfredsonEpisode 67: The 4 Success MindsetsEpisode 51: Understand the types of Mindsets before you try to fix yoursEpisode 120 : Get Ready to Elevate Your Vertical AltitudeBook Mentioned:Miracle Morning book by Hal ElrodMain website: https://miraclemorning.com/books/-------------------Commit First is a Personal Development Podcast for Entrepreneurs and can be found on:Our website →Apple Podcasts →Spotify ->Youtube →Or on any other favorite podcast player app.--------------🙌 Be sure to follow Sagi Shrieber on Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/sagishrieber/

Mastermind: Finding the Right Mentor, Coach and Friends, to Grow your Business withIn this episode, I actually flew out all the way from Israel to attend the MASTERMIND and I wanna kind of talk to you about my takeaways, why I attend Mastermind or some potential pitfalls when attending these kind of events because I think a lot of people are still not investing in themselves as they should.Brought to you by...Our very own app! Affirmations & Co - Crush Limiting Beliefs and Manifest Your Goals with Affirmations!Follow others, get inspired by their affirmations and make them your own, add reminders of your OWN affirmations on your phone, and add widgets to help you manifest quickly!Get it on the app store or Google Play:iOS (Apple App Store) →Android (Google Play) →-------------------Timestamps & Gold Gems:[0:43 - 1:27] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold Gem  I think attending Mastermind is one of the most important things that you can do for yourself and your business. The reason I'm saying it is because in business it's a lonely journey. All right. It's also like a spiritual journey where you develop yourself and being lonely on a journey, which is a spiritual journey, sucks.And there's this feeling like the whole world, like, you know, so many forces are against you and you have so many choices, but each choice can lead to a complete disaster. While some choices can lead to a lot of success, I'm talking about monetary success, but I'm also talking about like, success when it comes to like building what you want to build in the world, because you can work very hard on your business, but basically you get to a point where you're not happy you can do that.[2:20 - 2:45] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemSurround yourself with, first of all, a mentor, a coach, mostly like a mentor, someone that you can look up to and that can help you, guide you in the right direction, that mentor needs to be three things. One, someone who's achieved success in what you wanna achieve success in.Two, you need to align with their values 100%. If you don't align with their values, you know, don't go to them. Three, he needs to also show up for his people in a way that you wanna show up for your people later on. [3:07 - 3:29 ]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemYou wanna make sure to always surround yourself with great people that will move you forward. Those people are the connections that you're gonna have for years to come. Great friends that you're gonna be working with, collaborating with, and you know, really moving forward with in a long haul. And I think that those people would push you higher. And those are the people that you wanna make sure that you grow with[3:50 - 4:04 ]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemKnowledge is very important. Knowledge is key. We all know that, but when you consume knowledge, make sure you consume it from the right people in the right settings. And mastermind is a great way to consume knowledge and go deep on a topic and into your business. [4:04 - 4:28 ]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemKnowledge is power because it's not the things that we know that we need to do that will push us towards success. It's actually most of the things that we don't know ,that we don't know. Right. And the things that sometimes we do know, that we need to do that are so simple, but we overthink them or  you know, we're not holding ourselves accountable to them because we procrastinate, because it's not convenient for us to do.Topic: Possible Pitfalls[5:10 - 5:28 ]Sagi ShrieberSome mastermind settings where you have a lot of people breaking out each other's businesses are kind of getting it wrong, some of them. Because either you get yourself into a mastermind with the wrong people, people that are not smarter than you, people that are not in the same game as you even, which is completely wrong.[6:10 - 6:26 ]Sagi Shrieber The answers are within you. They can give you ideas, either by asking you questions or by telling a case study of how they implemented something in their business or saw someone implementing the same thing.But make sure that they don't tell you what you need to do because that's dangerous,[7:07 - 7:33]Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemLastly, a couple of tips when in the mastermind. One, form authentic relationships. Just every second you got, just go and network with people and I think two, is take action on what you need to do.Maybe after a session, go aside and kind of map it out, journal about it, or map out the actual action items that you need to do or send some stuff to your team. Write a lot of notes, take them home, review them. Don't leave everything in the Mastermind.-------------------Commit First is a Personal Development Podcast for Entrepreneurs and can be found on:Our website →Apple Podcasts →Spotify ->Youtube →Or on any other favorite podcast player app.--------------🙌 Be sure to follow Sagi Shrieber on Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/sagishrieber/

How to RESET your Energy Between Work and Family-time (Practical Practices)For this episode, we’ll talk about how we can bring the energy that we have from work to our evening with our families because that energy usually is not the best energy. Either it's an energy which is like that energy of guilt and lack of productivity. Good thing is that we have the option to reset this energy so we can spend time and be more present with our family and have a great evening together at home with them. This is all about what I call “The Switch”.Brought to you by....Our very own app!

I used to work from home for like five years, but eventually it's the same because we carry energy from one place to another and once we carry that energy, it might be good energy, but it might also be not so good energy and we might feel drained from the work day[1:27 - 1:40] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemOne tip that helps me and I want to also kind of give you is like, we don't wanna go back home with all that energy carried from our work to our evening with our families because that energy usually is not the best energy[1:51 - 2:21] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemI've been so productive I want to get more done at work at my previous kind of endeavor today, but now you're moving on to your next endeavor, and the next endeavor is your kids and your spouse, your partner. They need you, right? They need us to serve them. They need us to be present for them and that's why I think that it's very crucial that we do this, what's called like energy reset. This is all about what I call “The Switch”. Now imagine that you have a button, right? We sometimes we feel we need this like reset. [2:49 - 3:06] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemI think just imagining a reset button kind of gets you to ask, well, what am I resetting to? Because now I'm kind of saying, okay, I'm resetting to be more intentional. Now I'm present with my family, with my kids and my wife, and have a great evening together at home.[3:14 - 3:35] Sagi Shrieber ⭐Gold GemYou can try and one minute kind of just sitting in your car before you go upstairs or at your home office and just sitting before you walk out of that door and saying "I'm letting go. Energy reset mode. Letting go. Let it go. Let it go." Take one breath in one breath out. Just say, let it go.RESOURCES:One minute energy reset introduced by Brendan BouchardFounder of:  https://www.growthday.com/ Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/BrendonBurchardMotivation-------------------Commit First is a Personal Development Podcast for Entrepreneurs and can be found on:Our website →Apple Podcasts →Spotify ->Youtube →Or on any other favorite podcast player app.--------------🙌 Be sure to follow Sagi Shrieber on Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/sagishrieber/

Episode 123: Manifestation and Success (A Sneak Peek into the Evolution Podcast with Sagi Shrieber, Terrance X Johnson and Ethan P. Heisey)Today we have a very special episode for you. I wanted to have two updates to share with you. One, I have an app out. It's called Affirmations & Co. It's an app for affirmations. If you love personal development and everything is podcasted about, you will love this app.Second update is, I don't know how many of you know this, but I have another podcast. So one is this Commit First, and the second one is called The Evolution Podcast, where I interview my mentor, Mr. Johnson, every single week, and we have weekly episodes coming out and I just ask him about business and life and things that are more on the verge of like spirituality in business and success. I flew out to the US. I flew out to meet Mr. J, and we sat down along with Ethan, the third host. He's also a mentee of Mr. J. and together we had an amazing session. We recorded two episodes, one, which is coming out this week, and so go out and check the Evolution podcast on Spotify and Apple podcast. Enjoy! Brought to you by...Our very own app!

All right, I have a saying, your mind is the soil, your thoughts are seeds and you water the soil and those seeds with your words. So Sagi says, I want to come see you, Mr. Johnson. Now, this is obviously quite a few months ago, but he puts it out there. He plants the seed if you will. We don't know when. We don't know how. We don't know where. We just know this is what we desire. This is what we would like to have happen, and let's move forward a few months later. Now he's sitting here in front of me.5:42 - 6:11 Terrance X JohnsonManifest positive thoughtsEach of us all have the ability to create whatever we see in our imagination or in our mind. This is a great gift, a divine gift. Unfortunately, most people focus on what they don't want. They imagine what they don't want. They imagine themselves being sick or lonely or unhappy or depressed or sad, and all these other variables that play a part in our life.But if you take that same energy and you imagine something positive, if you will, and you hold that image in your mind, it would harden into your reality.(9:32 - 9:53) Sagi Shreiberwhen you manifest things or when you know, you tend to just say, hey, things come easily to me than they do. And so you work less hard and more things come. And then also when you put more energy in visualizing like in your own mind the proper outcome, then basically a lot of miracles happen along the way. 11:11 - 11:36  Terrance X Johnson ⭐Gold Gem Law of CreationYou must understand where one sees the world totally depends on where they're standing in it. How you perceive the world to be. So if you perceive the world to be filled with this, filled with that, and then if you allow those thoughts and that narrative to creep into your consciousness. Then by definition, the law must make it that way for you.What law am I referencing? The law of creation. There are certain laws that govern our planet and govern our universe.(12:57 - 13:28) Terrance X JohnsonRemember, you can manifest whatever you want.Number one, decide. Make a conscious decision. Number two, write it down what you write. Write your vision down and make it plain. I tell both of my guys, write down what you want. One thing I love about Ethan, he always do, He's always taking notes. He's, this guy is just like a note taker. He's listening and writing it down. And listen, it's not enough just to take notes, but I want you to apply what you're learning. The application, the acquiring of knowledge makes one smart. It is the application of what you've acquired that makes you wise.(14:56 - 15:20) Terrance X Johnson We are all so called human beings. And I'll take that a step further. You are the gods. Now, most people won't tell you that. Most people probably won't believe that, but you tell me, can a pig make a flat screen tv? No? Can a Doberman pincher make an electric vehicle? No, it cannot. But man can, man can take a man's eyes out of a person who's dying and place those eyes in somebody else, and they can see.(16:07 - 16:41) Terrance X Johnson ⭐Gold GemFaithMost people do not know what it is to have faith. It is a word loosely thrown around and very easily misunderstood. Now, what is it is to have faith. Now I'm gonna give you the biblical definition. You can find this in the great book of Hebrews chapter 11, beginning at verse one. It says this, "Faith is the substance of things, hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." What does that simply mean? I'm gonna break it down for you, faith is a real thing. You have to have faith, not just in yourself, but have faith in your, everything that you're doing, your business, your health, your marriage, your children, everything you do, you're doing it in faith.21:50 -  22:12 Terrance X Johnson  ⭐Gold Gem HopeNow is the only moment that counts, my friends. Now is all you have. There's no guarantee that you'll wake up tomorrow, cause tomorrow never comes. Tomorrow was always today. Today is always yesterday. So tomorrow never comes. So what do you do? Make a decision now, it doesn't matter where you are financially, education-wise, I don't care what you're dealing with.If you have breath in your body, you can breathe. There's something called hope.23:52 - 24:07Listen, let me leave with these words. From the day that you're born to the right and at hearse, things are never so bad that they couldn't be worse. I once saw a man complaining because he had no shoes until I saw a man with no feet. Life is colorful. Keep everything in its proper perspective.

How Mental Fitness Can Save Your Life and Business (w/Marc Champagne)In this episode, we talk about mental fitness and how to pause and reset your mind. This will help you focus on the things that matter, whether for your personal life or career as an entrepreneur. Marc is a mental fitness coach, but he came from building a huge app in the personal development space in mental fitness, an app meant for journaling. And after that, he decided to shut down his app. And go with training teams and individuals and writing a book called “Personal Socrates”.It's an amazing episode, Marc is just an amazing person. You get so much value and ask many great questions that you guys can all ask yourselves. This one hour, it just opened me up so much emotionally. I really hope you enjoy this episode.Brought to you by...Our very own app!

What's on your mind type thing. But if you really think about the practice itself, the practice behind journaling is reflection. And we all reflect, we all ask questions. We all think about certain things. It's just whether, just like anything, whether you want to do that with more intention and train your mind to ask better questions”Topic: Gratitude[48:57-49:12] Sagi Shrieber: “ One of the most profound experiences she gave me was when she was asking questions, it was like, Sagi, and I was rambling about everything that I have going on and what I don't know what to do. And she's like, what are you doing out of love? And what out of  fear?”[50:04-51:07] Marc Champagne : “If you're, again, something comes up in the day that pisses you off or throws you off your game, close your eyes and you think of who is that one person that you're super grateful towards, but have not thanked lately. You know, like bring them to your, to your mind. And just think about like, why, like what fills your heart about that person?What have they done? What would you like to say to them? And the next step is a simple one, you can either express that message to them or just send them a text message. Like right now, just say, just thinking about you. Hope you have a good day. And here's the thing that happens. I mean, you just made their day.They'll probably write back saying, Thanks for making my day. Now they just made your day. And what's not happening at that moment is your mind is not spinning in a survival state of mind. Your mind is now in a, in. Happy, motivated, grateful state, which is the thriving state.”RESOURCES:Books Mentioned:Personal Socrates: Questions That Will Upgrade Your LifeBy:  Marc ChampagneAmazon:https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Socrates-Questions-World-Class-Performers/dp/194362335XApple Books: https://books.apple.com/us/book/id1590572602Apple Audiobooks: https://books.apple.com/gb/audiobook/personal-socrates-questions-that-will-upgrade-your/id1591469642Manifestation Mastery: How to Shift Your Reality & Co‑Create with the UniverseBy: Christina RiceAmazon:https://www.amazon.com/Manifestation-Mastery-Reality-Co-Create-Universe%EF%BB%BF/dp/195704803412 Notes: On Life and Creativityby Quincy JonesAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/12-Notes-Creativity-Quincy-Jones/dp/1419752561Almanack of Naval Ravikantby Eric JogensonAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/Almanack-Naval-Ravikant-Wealth-Happiness/dp/1544514220Websites and Social Media links:Marc Champagnehttps://www.behindthehuman.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/behindthehuman/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-champagne-%F0%9F%97%9D-14767b17/-------------------Commit First is a Personal Development Podcast for Entrepreneurs and can be found on:Our website →Apple Podcasts →Spotify ->Youtube →Or on any other favorite podcast player app.--------------🙌 Be sure to follow Sagi Shrieber on Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/sagishrieber/

He himself has built multiple companies reaching eight figures, and he's also the host of a great podcast called “The Purpose-Led Leadership Podcast”.Here's the podcast where we talk about finding purpose. We talk about what Chris finds is the most challenging thing with these coaches and the most uplifting thing that happens when people actually carry out, what they need to carry out.We talk about what's the most important things in life in order to grow a successful business, and a lot more so, welcome to another great episode!Brought to you by....Our very own app!

And I never thought I was worthy of anything, so I just wrote down some of my achievements and just thought to myself how in a second I've got a lot to live for. I'm a good guy and it was just that time where I just decided to be the CEO of my life, not CEO of my business”[5:56 - 6:22] Chris O'Connell : “I think many people in this world live day to day, month to month, week, week. They don't understand why they're doing it. They're going for the motions. So for me, it's about understanding what your purpose is. I've got my own podcast called the Purpose-Led Leadership Podcast, I talk about when you haven't got a purpose, you haven't got an anchor, you haven't got something to go for. And I think, that's the fundamental course of success, in my opinion”[7:03 - 7:45] Chris O'Connell : “External factors, people, partners, business partners, colleagues, friends, family. But ultimately, I believe that even if the most unlucky heest things happens to you, To a degree, there's always an element of accountability for yourself. So I think it was that sort of realization that although I was responsible for lots of success in my life, in more than part, I was responsible for the failures as well.,So I think it was looking at that. Asking myself some tough questions and feeling and leaning into my feelings as well. So I think it's really important to be vulnerable, really important as leaders to be vulnerable. ”[8:10- 8:30] Chris O'Connell: “There are six facets behind me and my business logo, business, and finance. Business, health and fitness, personal development, purpose, relationships, and finances, and I think that you have to do an audit of your life as to what I did. I did an audit of my friends. I did an audit of my family. If they weren't serving me, I distanced myself. “[10:07- 10:31] Chris O'Connell: “ I believe you can work smart. I believe if you are looking after yourself mentally, physically, and everything else outside of work, you don't have to spend as much time in work so you can execute better in work. It's a strange thing, but if you spend two hours, say a week, dedicated just for your kids, you turn the phone off to the laptop, that's all they ever need, then you feel happier. Then you'll actually, and that state of being is like what you are in your work, and it's just about execution and working smart. “TOPIC: Routines and Emotional State Management [10:57- 14:14] [10:57- 11:20] Chris O'Connell: “ I think it also starts with how I start the day. So in my bedroom, I've got a whiteboard. I've got my values there: courage, discipline, empathy, kindness, and eight different values. So when I wake up, I’m absorbing that kind of stuff. There are some affirmations on there as well about self-control, and self-respect. What I'm trying to do is like, why am I brain into positivity? And I think that's really important as well. “[11:26- 12:05] Sagi Shrieber: “ The notion is as if we can control or elevate our emotional state as much as we can. During the day, especially when we start off the day, we're gonna have a better day and be more successful. And it's like most people get wrong, they actually start their day by checking their emails and that's so true. It's freaking Russian roulette. “TOPIC: Inner Voice[14:33- 14:47 Sagi Shrieber:  “The voice in our head and how we talk to ourselves is basically pretty, already set when we were like five years old by our guardians. So basically how the grownups were talking to us, that's actually how we talk to ourselves and usually it's not good .”[15:17 15:29] Chris O'Connell: “ I think everyone gets internal trust that everyone's got mental health about who we are, but sometimes the voices in our head, they're not actually ours. That sounds bizarre. They are indoctrinated or absorbed by your parents, your manager, what you are watching on the TV and all that kind of stuff. And it can be very difficult to deal with that. But I think it's about learning to manage that.And actually, the only way to do that is to change your content. Block people change things. Talk to people that are gonna inspire you. Talk to people that are better than you in some areas and just have a growth mindset. Be curious. “ TOPIC: The Key[17:01 - 17:41 ] Chris O'Connell: “  It's really important that, yes, give yourself credit. Pat yourself on the back. You've gotta be realistic as well. And I think having people around you, also I think, small daily habits can have a big impact. So, you know, I've got this, we've all got big visions, but I think if you can break down some of your goals into business and personal. It might be over the next 12 weeks if I can listen to six podcasts or if I can go on 12 runs.”“If you do that, do that consistently. It all builds up and I think, I think sometimes, we want these big things yesterday, and it just doesn't work like that. Also, it's about enjoying the passage of time, right? “[33:14 - 33:29 ] Chris O'Connell: “ Emotion, intelligence and vulnerability has a direct correlation with the productivity of your team. So if you can get under the skin of your team, understand what motivates them, what their purpose is, I guarantee they'll work harder and produce better for you.”[55:17- 55:41 ] Chris O'Connell: “ I think most people fall into the trap of, if I can build a great business or if I can earn this amount of money, if I can provide this amount of stuff for my kids, I'll be seen as a great dad. But actually, great dads are the ones that try their best to do that. They do spend that to be mindful, you know, of your relationships, how much time you're spending.”RESOURCES:Books Mentioned:Title: Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness ItAuthor: Ethan KrossAmazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Chatter-Voice-Head-Matters-Harness/dp/052557523575 Hardhttps://andyfrisella.com/pages/75hard-infoSocial MediaIG: https://instagram.com/chrisoconnellcoach?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/itschrisoconnellThe Purpose-Led Leadership PodcastApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-purpose-led-leadership-podcast/id1566797103Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/72edQlrSeUvLmC2LsqOrQG-------------------Commit First is a Personal Development Podcast for Entrepreneurs and can be found on:Our website →Apple Podcasts →Spotify ->Youtube →Or on any other favorite podcast player app.--------------🙌 Be sure to follow Sagi Shrieber on Instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/sagishrieber/

Get Ready to Elevate Your Vertical AltitudeFor this week's episode, we have Ryan Gottfredson. This is his third time coming on the show and Ryan is all about mindset. So he's a professor who wrote a book called “Success Mindsets”. He developed a theory that you have four types of mindsets.But today we're going to discuss the evolution of his research and his methodology, which is now called vertical development, which is another concept. He explained all about it, but we had such an amazing topic about what it takes for you to step up to your potential, to your best future itself.  Also the three levels of where people are at at the moment. And kinda like you will be able to through this podcast kind of assess where you are. Brought to you by.... Our very own app! Affirmations & Co - Crush Limiting Beliefs and Manifest Your Goals with Affirmations!Follow others, get inspired by their affirmations and make them your own, add reminders of your OWN affirmations on your phone, and add widgets to help you manifest quickly!Get it on the app store or Google Play:iOS (Apple App Store) → Android (Google Play) →-------------------Timestamps & Gold Gems:Topic : What is Vertical Development? [10:29 - 14:10 ] Ryan Gottfredson : “I came across a concept and the concept was coined from a guy at the center for creative leadership. And the concept is called vertical development. And I read this article. I'm like, oh my goodness, what is vertical development?” “The idea behind vertical development is that there, well, what we need to understand is that there's two different types of development. There's horizontal development and there's vertical development.”So horizontal development is usually “what”, when we say development, we're usually talking horizontal development. So it's adding new knowledge, skills, and competencies to what we have. The focus of this is helping us to do more than what we could do previously. It's kinda like adding an app onto an iPad, right?But horizontal development is limited in the sense of, if I add an app onto an iPad, that's not gonna improve how effectively that iPad operates as a whole.“The technical definition is to elevate our ability to make meaning of our world in more cognitively and emotionally sophisticated ways.” [15:29 - 16:17] Ryan Gottfredson What feels cognitively and emotionally sophisticated. That we see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. We make meaning of it as that opportunity to learn and grow. When we make meaning of it in that way, then we embrace it. We take it in and, and this is not easy to do, right? Because we are getting to this mental place where we are good with being told that we are bad and it's just not easy to get there, but it is really cognitively and emotionally sophisticated.And so what we're doing with vertical development is we're literally upgrading ourselves. We're leveling up so that when we encounter stressful situations, we make meaning of those in a better way so that we can navigate those more effectively. Topic: Cognitive and emotional sophistication in adulthood[20:22- 20:56] Ryan Gottfredson: So what they've identified is that there's three primary adult development levels.And what they found across all adults, 64% stay in that first level. They never develop beyond what they entered adulthood with the 35. Yeah. Yeah. Crazy 35% get to level two and only 1% get to level three. Wow. And so, part of the vertical development journey is understanding what are these three different levels and where am I at?[21:19- 21:37] Ryan Gottfredson And so my next book is all about helping people answer that question. What is my vertical altitude and, and, and being able to assess that effectively, and then where do I go so that I could elevate and become more of the person that I want to become? How do I upgrade my own internal operating system?Topic: The First Level[21:59- 23:32] Ryan Gottfredson: “So at that base level, that first level, our internal operating system is programmed to keep us safe, comfortable, and feeling like we belong. Right. Which means that we are very conscious of threats to those needs. So we don't like to feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or like we don't belong. ““We are generally what we would call dependent thinkers, meaning that we, we like to join and identify with tribes or groups that could be families that could be friends, social groups, religious affiliations, political affiliations, whatever it might be.”“And when we go into these groups, we kind of say, I don't wanna be the leader here. I don't wanna make decisions, but if you tell me what to do, I will do it. Yeah. Provided that you keep me safe, comfortable, and feeling like I belong.” Topic: The Second Level[24:33- 25:20] Ryan Gottfredson: “And when we move into the second level, our needs are to stand out, advance and get ahead. Mm-hmm  yeah. And in fact, we're willing. To be, we become willing to be unsafe, uncomfortable and not belong in order to advance, stand out and get ahead. Mm-hmm . And when we make this shift, we move from being a dependent thinker to an independent thinker.So we develop our own ideas. This is usually if somebody is an entrepreneur. They're usually stepping from a mind 1.0, to a mind 2.0, right. Mm-hmm  cause they're being an entrepreneur is inherently unsafe, uncomfortable, and you're not belonging. Right. So, and you're willing and, and we're usually driven in some form or fashion to stand out, advance and get ahead.”Topic: The Third Level [27:46- 29:52] Ryan Gottfredson: “To add value and to lift and, and we'll, we'll make a distinction about this here in just a minute, but when we get to mind 3.0, we are willing to be unsafe, uncomfortable, and not belong in order to contribute, add value and lift. We're also willing to not stand out, to kind of put ourselves on the back burner to, um, not get ahead or not advance or not be seen and recognized.In order to contribute, add value and lift and, and what's what's going on here is, is you can hopefully feel is the differences. We, when we operate below this mind 3.0 level. So on mind, 1.0 or 2.0, our primary focus is inward on ourselves. Either us standing in or us standing out when we're in this mind, 3.0 level, our focus is not on ourselves anymore.It's something external to ourselves, a bigger purpose, and we're driven again, to contribute, add value and to lift. And when we're here, we're not dependent thinkers, we're not independent thinkers. We are interdependent thinkers. We can see and hold multiple perspectives simultaneously. We kind of don't, we don't rush to one way or the other.Topic: Realization[33:54- 34:21 ] Ryan Gottfredson:“We are gonna have a center of gravity that we fall back to for the majority of the time, particularly in, in kind of stressful and pressure situations. Um, and so to me, um, what that suggests when we look at it through that lens is, is not only should we focus on elevating vertically, but then how do I spend a greater amount of my time in mind, 3.0, right.”[50:23- 50:43] Ryan Gottfredson: I learn about mindsets and I find out that my mindsets are crap. I've got negative mindsets. I awaken into that. I work on them and I shift my mindsets and I feel like as soon as I started to work on my mindsets, that's when I was. Okay. I'm gonna be an entrepreneur. I'm gonna write a book. I'm gonna try to build this business[54:41- 55:45] Ryan Gottfredson: What is my relationship with money? What is my relationship with my family? What is my relationship with, um, achievement? Right? We could ask ourselves what is my relationship and, and our relationship with those things gives us a sense of our vertical altitude and what, what mind level we primarily operate at.But the most important relationship is what I'm learning in, in this vertical development journey is the relationship with ourselves. What is my relationship with myself. And, and honestly, two years ago, I would've said I had a good relationship. Now, given the journey I've been on, I would say two years ago, my relationship with myself was crap. And I'm in a much better place with myself. And because I'm in a much better place with myself, I feel like I have less holes that I'm needing to fill. Yeah. Um, I'm better able to value others and work more independently with them. Um, and, and it really, when I heal my relationship with myself, I'm healing my relationships with everything else, time, family money, etc.”[54:41- 55:45]  Sagi Shrieber: “So we got one is, um, you know, go for therapy and it's, it's, it's a great way of finding and working yourself and, you know, starting to get there.Um, two is, um, gratitude, journaling, three meditation, um, four, try to make space on a constant basis, like, you know, in order to do those things.”RESOURCES:Books Mentioned:Title: Success mindsets Author: Ryan Gottfredson Link: https://ryangottfredson.com/booksTitle: Vertical DevelopmentAuthor: Ryan Gottfredson Link: https://ryangottfredson.com/booksTitle: Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for MortalsAuthor: Oliver BurkemanLink: https://www.amazon.com/Four-Thousand-Weeks-Management-Mortals/dp/0374159122Title: The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of TraumaAuthor: Bessel van der KolkLink: https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748Title: Hit Refresh: The Quest to Rediscover Microsoft's Soul and Imagine a Better Future for EveryoneAuthor: Satya NadellaLink: https://www.amazon.com/Hit-Refresh-Rediscover-Microsofts-Everyone-ebook/dp/B01HOT5SQATitle: Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True InspirationAuthor: Ed CatmullLink: https://www.amazon.com/Creativity-Inc-Overcoming-Unseen-Inspiration/dp/0812993012Title: American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor CompanyAuthor: Bryce G.

Do you want to know how a ninja reaches his goal? Let’s hear it from one!For this week's episode, I am grateful to have Philipp Anufriev with us on the Commit First Podcast. He is the founder of Graphics Federation, host of the 3-2-1 Podcast, mentor of Wellness & Lifestyle, an Israeli Ninja Warrior and father of two. In this episode Philipp explains why building a powerful routine will help us become less stressed, fulfilled and more productive.TOPICS:[2:44-2:59] Philipp Anufriev: “I think there are people who need to first understand what they're supposed to do, and then they're supposed to kind of execute it.I'm kind of working my way around it. I'm reverse engineering it. So basically what I do, I just try first and then I understand what I'm supposed to do. And the second goal will be easier and the third will be easier. So I'm kind of just trying to dare every time.”Types of Obstacles [15:41- 16:00] Philipp Anufriev: This is why people who are intelligent enough, they're doing good in, in ninja warrior, because this is so that there's like a variety of obstacles that you have. And some of them are straight. Some of them are jumping. Some of them coordination, some of them just balance. Some of they are super stamina[16:00- 16:20]  Philipp Anufriev: So once you're trying to pass all that, like let's say qualification, usually like the easiest thing to pass, because you would have some balance and then few obstacles and then one like hard, let's say that usually when I'm doing it, I'm like, why are people falling here?  and that's, that's the scary part[16:20- 16:28]  Philipp Anufriev:  Because you see people fall, like why are they falling? It's probably hard. And then like, as you pass it, like, no. it was so easy, like, why?WORKING ON YOUR HABITS AND PROPER MINDSET (21:58-23:56) [22:05- 22:14]  Sagi : “I think in terms of health standards, I think people have lesser standards, like for their own health, which goes together with mental health, personal development. You need to work on your habits.  And I know you're big on micro habit, so we can talk about that. And you also need to have the right kind of mindset, right?”GRATITUDE JOURNALING:[34:26-34:57,35:32-36:08,36:17-36:44]  Philipp Anufriev:So I'm usually doing the first part of it is, is like gratitude. Yeah. And I'm just, I'm, I'm grateful for that and that, and that. And trying to scrap from at least three or five things up to sometimes when I feel either super generous or super shitty, I don't know. I can go up to like 20 something and I like, and then it's something that I trying to feel the vibration if I'm okay. And so you get, so you get an indication and you know, you need to like balance yourself when you're doing the journaling stuff. Cuz you need to like highlight your gratitude right now, cuz you're not in a good place.So you need to like calibrate your vibrations just a little bit and started from there. Then I'm usually doing like stuff that I.  like, that will happen to me. It can be just like a to-do list. Mm-hmm  it can be a celebration of life. Mm-hmm  like, I don't know. I got a new kite, like, ah, even if it's like not a good win, like maybe I will that or travel somewhere on, find something or something exciting.And then you're doing like, and then I'm doing an affirmation, something for myself that I'm, I don't know, embracing myself I'm blessed for, or I don't know, blessed with opportunities that I'm taking advantage of. And so on, something like that. That's usually my flow. Then once I'm done, I obviously meditation, um, for me, meditation is just eating, sitting still mm-hmm  or, and just checking.VISUALIZATION AS A KEY PART OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP[49:13-49:49] Philipp Anufriev:So when you see, since you see the obstacles, I just, um, run them in my head and what I do, I have a notebook and I just draw myself. Like I'm literally drawing the obstacles like comics. And I draw myself by the end of it, not on the obstacle but by the end of it, succeeding it. Sometimes with my hands up sometimes, just running if those need more, those need to be passed faster. And this is something that I'm working on in my visualizationHOW DO YOU ACCEPT FAILING NINJA WARRIOR? [54:09-54:41] Philipp Anufriev:You don’t accept it. Like you don’t accept it, no matter what. It takes time to pass through it, but you don’t, you like, you felt you like accept it. It’s a good thing, coz then, then you, you are motivated to kick ass the next day. When in between, after the third season I took like, uh, a month of recovery and after the fourth season, like I was in the gym next Saturday.RESOURCES:Philipp's Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/dolph420Philipp's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dolpha/ Who needs a coach - Sagi Shrieber in podcast 3-2-1 episode #011 (translated from Hebrew) by PHILIPP ANUFRIEVhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HphwMl0XFCw

Their team has helped hundreds of clients go from overwhelm and chaos to clarity and sustainability.  She's with us to explain and tell us more about the Law of Attraction and how Living in Alignment works.Working with the law of attraction to manifest your dreams may sound straightforward, but it actually involves careful intention, action, and a degree of surrender. This principle suggests that empty space cannot truly exist, and always needs to be filled by something. As such, it's important to make space for positive change in your life by clearing out negativity.It tells us that there will always be things to be unhappy about if you look for them, but rather than dwelling on things that are going wrong, finding ways to make things better - is fundamental to shifting your reality into one that attracts what you desire.That's not to say you can't acknowledge negativity or feel emotions related to it. Rather, it's about doing what you can at the moment to improve any negative situation and letting the rest go. This follows living in alignment with your goals and taking the necessary steps to bring them to life.********Topics discussed on the show:********How to apply The Law of Attraction in your life?Let's talk about Ego!How do we let go of our Ego?How to treat people in a different view?Identifying feelingsHow Meditation Can Help You?How to be the happy version of yourself?Joni Rae's MantrasJoni Rae's Routine********Links mentioned:********Abraham Hicks- LAW OF ATTRACTION (https://www.abraham-hicks.com/)********Where to find Joni********LIVING IN ALIGNMENT WITH JONI RAE (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-living-in-alignment-with-joni-rae-podcast/id1474698078)THE LIVING IN ALIGNMENT WITH JONI RAE PODCAST (https://open.spotify.com/show/7wfGQFmLvCD9lETVkzqH73?si=d4a94ee1110c4284)Her Website(s): https://www.themindsetgroup.com/https://www.mindsetwithjoni.com/YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2-Nwul2YSECs4YdkB8F_uQ/videos)

From building a better relationship with your future self to further deepening your spirituality (regardless of religion,) he had so much to share, helping you find out how you should be as an entrepreneur, and WHO you CAN be as the CEO of your own life!Jay Chase is a speaker, entrepreneur, and podcaster who hosts his own show called "Don't Touch My Mindset," where he aims to help people find harmony between the heart and the mind, leading them to live their lives to the fullest through mindset and willpower.********Topics discussed on the show:********IntroductionJay's FrameworkMichelangelo's StatueThe word "Character"Being the BOSS of your lifeKnowing Your Personal PowerVisual MeditationThe 20-Second Phone CallTalking to Your Future SelfPrayers From The HeartWhat Makes a Good Prayer?Various Kinds of SpiritualityJay's JourneyBe in The NowFinding what YOU want to doSucceeding in Business With KidsUnderstanding What The World NeedsBecoming The Change You Want To SeeYour Partner In BusinessExploring SpiritualityJust Relax"I control time."Connecting To Your Future SelfJust AskNo Right or Wrong Way to PrayGratitudeAn Hour of JournalingWillpower & SleepA Firm Believer of NapsJay's Non-NegotiablesKill The BearGive The Solution, Make The OfferPIVOTSelf Defeat for GrowthHow to Cultivate Self-LoveDark Frequency JournalingWrapping Up********Links mentioned:********Cultivating an Unshakable Character - Jim Rohn: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17605261-cultivating-an-unshakable-characterTim Storey: https://www.timstorey.com/Thou Shall Prosper - Daniel Lapin: https://www.amazon.com/Thou-Shall-Prosper-Commandments-Making/dp/0470485884James Clear - Atomic Habits Quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9624497-every-action-you-take-is-a-vote-for-the-type********Where to find Jay********His Website: donttouchmymindset.comInstagram: @thejaychase / @donttouchmymindset

During his younger days, Erik faced a lot of demons and struggled out of his addictions. He was jailed at the age of 18 and went bankrupt when he turned 21, and felt as if his life wasn't going anywhere if he stayed in that cycle. After waking up and seeing his friends still passed out from the party the night before, he realized that it was time for a change.Now 16 years sober with a beautiful wife and two kids, Erik emerged to achieve the future he set himself to reach. He now helps aspiring MMA fighters and other entrepreneurs get connected and gain traction on the internet. Despite growing up in a broken home, past demons, and overwhelming debt, he overcame every single obstacle that life tried to throw his way. He's a winner, and he has two things to thank for it: Faith, and DISCIPLINE.Enjoy the episode, guys!********Topics discussed on the show:********IntroductionMorning RoutinesGetting Up EarlyLearning to ConnectErik's StoryBreaking the CycleBuilding a New LegacyThe Importance of ConnectionScreen Time: Good or bad?Planning Out GoalsSpiritual ConnectionsErik's Personal RoutineSetting a Reading TimeErik's Fitness JourneyAudio BooksPassionThe Zone of InfluenceThe Secret to Being HappyMaking an ImpactBeing GratefulTaking ActionWrapping Up********Where to find Erik********Erik's Website: erikallenmedia.comErik's Instagram: @erikgallen********Links Mentioned********Charley The Bulldog's Daring Dreams - Andy Frisella: https://www.amazon.com/Charley-Bulldogs-Daring-Dreams-Frisella/dp/1634891058Insights From 27 Years of Marriage - Mr. and Mrs. Johnson: https://www.clubhouse.com/room/MKv4VynE?utm_medium=ch_room_xerc&utm_campaign=VjakI374KKUKw38efdHcqg-89914Four Thousand Weeks - Oliver Burkeman: https://www.amazon.com/Four-Thousand-Weeks-Time-How-ebook/dp/B07X3DH41FCan't Hurt Me - David Goggins: https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Hurt-Me-Master-Your-ebook/dp/B07H453KGH/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2L6R7NJIXCVEY&keywords=Can%27t+HUrt+Me&qid=1647415750&s=digital-text&sprefix=can%27t+hurt+%2Cdigital-text%2C269&sr=1-1Will - Will Smith & Mark Manson: https://willthebook.com/

Tune in as Emmet shares his personal experiences as a speaker, and how he moved to London from a small town in Ireland. He learned that people need to become aware of the negative thoughts that cross their minds, and rewrite them to replace them with a more positive syntax.A Transformative Mindset allows you to be more adaptive to the challenges you face. They it isn't a process of change, but more of a permanent state. To always be aware of what holds you down means that you'll be able to constantly change yourself to get rid of those hurdles. When you finally remove all of the "Mental Gremlins" trying to poison your mind, you'll find that transforming into the person you want to be becomes much easier.Emmet Naughton is an entrepreneur, author, investment professional and motivatonal speaker who zeroes in on personal development. It all started when Emmet picked up a book on mindset called "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Vincent Norman Peale, and eventually had him completely HOOKED on working on his own growth to break free from his mental barriers and finally reach his full potential.Currently the co-founder of Positive Progression, it's his passion to help others reach their full potential by guiding them and giving them key insights on how they can break through and shift towards a more successful mindset. Featured on The Telegraph and Medium, Positive Progression offers 1-on-1 coaching on both mindset and communication, equipping you with what you need to become the best version of yourself.Enjoy! ********Topics discussed on the show:********introductionEmmet's StoryTransformative MindsetVarious ChallengesHow Helpful Belief IsMaking Vision BoardsMental GremlinsBeing Aware of Your ThoughtsReinstall Different ThinkingFocus on the RIGHT ThingsGetting To The RootThe CandleBeing Aware of Your FeelingsTranscendental MeditationConnecting To YourselfCreating Your Own TimeEmmet's Personal RoutineThe Power of WordsWrapping Up********Where to find Emmet********Positiveprogression.uk - Emmet's websitehttps://www.instagram.com​​/_positiveprogression - Emmet's Instagram********Links Mentioned********Terrance X Johnson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrance-johnson-271812149/Vincent Norman Peale - The Power of Positive Thinking: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Positive-Thinking-Norman-Vincent/dp/0743234804The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: https://www.amazon.com/Habits-Highly-Effective-People-Powerful/dp/0743269519Green Lights - Matthew McConaughey: greenlights.comPrinciples - Ray Dalio: https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Life-Work-Ray-Dalio/dp/1501124021Dr Joe Dispenza: https://drjoedispenza.com/Rob Dyle's Podcast Episodes: https://www.listennotes.com/top-episodes/rob-doyle/

With loads of other topics to cover, this episode also has a LOT of books mentioned, and these books could definitely help you out on your journey as both a learner and an entrepreneur.Before becoming the CEO of his own company, Tom Pullen worked in the corporate industry as a leader in the companies he became part of. Starting out as a manager, Tom grew his career for the next 20 years from managerial positions to becoming the director of various departments in Danone, Mars, and Boots UK. Tom finally started his own company 4 years ago, named Innovinco.A generation innovation agency, Innovinco was founded to tackle crucial pain points that big companies could be suffering from regarding innovation. They focus on designing significant 100% customer centric solutions. There's also a YouTube channel which Tom hosts himself, detailing various subjects on innovation, and providing other key tips to help grow the way people can innovate.Tom believes that being able to visualize yourself as the version of you that you want to become can help speed up your learning process, noting that vision comes hand in hand with ambition. Without the desire to grow, you won't have enough willingness to create a vision of who you want to be. If you know where you want to get to, you'll know the steps to take in order to learn and get there.********Topics discussed on the show:********IntroductionTom's StoryWhat Corporate LacksLearning to Grow3 Key TipsHabits in Small ChunksLearning From The Best3D LearningVision and AmbitionStep Into Your Next VersionMaking CommitmentsGet a Habit TrackerChoose MomentsImportance of AudiobooksThe University of LifeWorking on MindfulnessStaying PresentLearning HacksSeeing the Insights of OthersPreparing to Make MistakesHigh Risk High RewardTom's Color Codingtom's Top 3 BooksWrapping Up********Where to find Tom:********Innovinco - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/innovincoInnovinco - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/innovinco/Tom's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tomjpullen/********Links Mentioned:********Audible: www.audible.comIdentity Shift - Anthony Trucks: https://identityshiftbook.comSharing Principles - Ray Dalio: https://www.principles.comMillionaire success habits - Dean Graziosi: https://www.audible.com/pd/Millionaire-Success-Habits-Audiobook/B07MDDDZFPBecoming Supernatural - Dr Joe Dispenza: https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Supernatural-Common-People-Uncommon-ebook/dp/B0746RN3G7Superfans Book - Pat Flynn: https://www.amazon.com/Superfans-Stand-Tribe-Successful-Business/dp/1949709469Jim Kwik: https://www.jimkwik.comThat Will Never Work - Marc Randolph: https://www.amazon.com/That-Will-Never-Work-Netflix/dp/0316530204Brand Failures - Matt Haig: https://www.amazon.com/Brand-Failures-Biggest-Branding-Mistakes/dp/074946299XFuck Up Nights: https://www.fuckupnights.comThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen Covey: https://www.amazon.com/Habits-Highly-Effective-People-Powerful/dp/0743269519Shoe Dog - Phil Knight: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27220736-shoe-dog

Mike did the exact same thing, and he's happy to say that it's helped him through his toughest times. Tune in as we delve further into key values that could help you grow out of your old self!A lot of hidden toxicity could come from within us, and often times it's floating in our subconscious, usually somewhere we can't really see if we don't give it enough attention. It could be caused by past traumas, or something that used to have a consistent negative impact on ourselves. People sometimes pick up all of the negativity and carry it over as parts of their own behavior, and it often reflects on their mindset and growth. Mike believes that the only way that a person can truly change is when they're able to tap inside of themselves and consciously drive out the voices that hinder their progress. They have to tell themselves to actively break free and do something different from the old, unproductive routines that they've gotten used to. We need to learn accept and acknowledge our bad habits, and pro-actively remind ourselves to make changes for the better.With childhood traumas and a toxic household, Mike's past was full of motivational hurdles that played a part in tearing his mindset down. From cold showers to locked fridge doors, he had to live through a family crisis that nearly spelled out failure. But after looking within himself, seeking coaches who could help him, and breaking out of his bad habits, he was able to set himself free from mental discord and become the inspiring coach that he is today. Enjoy!********Topics discussed on the show:********IntroductionMike's StoryFood in The FridgeCold ShowersMeditationRealizationsSelf-ReflectionDigging InAsk For HelpDealing with ToxicityChanging PatternsThe Importance of PeopleThe Hard QuestionSetting BoundariesThe VoiceAffirmationsWords Define RealityAfformationsThe Why StatementGive Yourself Grace********Links Mentioned:********Living Fearless Today: https://www.audible.com/pd/Podcast/B08K56ZM5JThe Wim Hof Method: https://www.wimhofmethod.comBoundaries - Henry Cloud and John Townsend: https://www.amazon.com/Boundaries-When-Take-Control-Your/dp/0310247454Chatter - Ethan Kross: https://www.amazon.com/Chatter-Voice-Head-Matters-Harness-ebook/dp/B087PL8YVQThe Book of Afformations - Noah St. John: https://www.amazon.com/Book-Afformations-Discovering-Abundant-Happiness/dp/1401944140Culitvating an Unshakable Character - Jim Rohn: https://www.amazon.com/Cultivating-Unshakable-Character-Walk-Your/dp/B00OH7BH7W********Where to find Mike:********On Instagram: @hicoachmike

(w/ Chris Ducker)*******"Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do." - Bruce LeeHey there!It's a new chapter for The Commit First Podcast, and to pop off the 101st episode, I invited entrepreneur, business coach, author and father Chris Ducker to talk about his journey as an aspiring dad-entrepreneur. He'll also talk about his various struggles earlier in the decade, and all of the important key values he picked up along the way. From starting his VA company based in the Philippines in 2004, to overcoming an extreme burnout that left him dehydrated, depressed, and malnourished to the point of hospitalisation, Chris smashed through these obstacles like a true warrior. Currently the owner of three 7-figure businesses, Chris is definitely a gem in the coaching industry. It all started in 2009, when Chris had to go through a delicate spinal surgery because of a busted L5-S1 disc. Chris was working non-stop for 2 years, and after putting on the hats of what should have been for 8 different employees, Chris's body took a toll on him. This served as a rough wake-up call for him, bringing with it acute exhaustion and dehydration. The moment he walked out of the hospital doors, he knew it was time for a change. Getting a grip on his lifestyle, Chris made sure to straighten things out for both his personal and professional life. He learned the importance of delegation, realising that building your own team will help turn your life around and grow your business. With that in mind, Chris built up what would now be his three 7-figure companies, namely Live2Sell, Virtual Staff Finder, and Youpreneur. Live2Sell and Virtual Staff Finder are rooted at the heart of the Philippines's major BPO industry. The former helps generate outbound leads as a B2B company, while the latter helps brands and companies in recruiting quality employees to help them grow. Youpreneur is a little different, being Chris's newest endeavour founded in 2015. Youpreneur helps educate and guide experienced professionals on how to lead their businesses to spearhead the industry, landing at the top of the list in their own game. It helps brands grow through the use of coaching programs, coaches, an annual conference, and its very own podcast. Now with over 7,000,000 downloads, the podcast grew to help thousands of entrepreneurs across the globe, which is still a growing number to this day. Hope you enjoy the interview!********Topics discussed on the show:********IntroductionChris's VA CompanyHow Our Friendship StartedThe IncubatorBeing A Family ManThe Burnout StoryHappiness The Virtual CEO MissionStepping Up As A DadWhat You Can DelegateThe 3 Lists to FreedomThe Importance of DelegationWork Hard, Build A TeamThe Internal TeamWork-Life Balance: A MythThe Biggest PriorityHow To Take Your ShotsKiller ComparisonsFocusing On CharacterBruce Lee's InfluenceDo What You Need To DoImpact and LegacyBeing GratefulShow UpSeasonsProcessing Your WinsVision and HabitsThe White SpacePlanning Far AheadIf It Doesn't Get ScheduledWrapping Up********Links Mentioned:********3 Lists To Freedom - Chris Ducker: https://www.google.com/amp/s/chrisducker.com/3-lists-to-freedom/amp/Virtual Freedom - Chris Ducker: https://www.audible.com/pd/Virtual-Freedom-Audiobook/B00LWAJ0B2?source_code=GO1DH13310082090OK&gclsrc=aw.ds&ds_rl=1262685&ds_rl=1263561&ds_rl=1260658&gclid=CjwKCAjw2P-KBhByEiwADBYWCqXrjaYjF2IbL4EO7o5N--Na69W9r-tW4usVo9GkaYl0Hb-H-ZeMHBoCq2AQAvD_BwECultivating an Unshakable Character - Jim Rohn: https://www.amazon.in/Cultivating-Unshakable-Character-Walk-Your/dp/B079XCT9ZGStriking Thoughts - Bruce Lee: https://www.audible.com/pd/Striking-Thoughts-Audiobook/B083NCY5D5?source_code=GO1DH13310082090OK&gclsrc=aw.ds&ds_rl=1262685&ds_rl=1263561&ds_rl=1260658&gclid=CjwKCAjw2P-KBhByEiwADBYWCpOY4k1WGkZU1GGhV7NHtPns-JnuSI5yea3m1GkVGKida3_XU-wn0RoCeL0QAvD_BwEWords of The Dragon - Bruce Lee: https://www.amazon.com/Bruce-Lee-Words-Dragon-Conversations/dp/0804850003Zig Ziglar: https://www.ziglar.com/********Where to find Chris:********His Website: Chrisducker.com

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, because I knew in my heart that cooking this episode up needed a lot of clarity and thought. It had a lot of questions that needed to be answered. And it wasn't just a "lone wolf" kind of thing, it needed more than just one mind to get to the bottom of. So I called my mentors, my coaches, and even consulted the personal brand guru- Chris Ducker- to help enlighten me on how I can take this to the next level. These last 3 years have been one wild ride for the show, and after going through many shifts and changes, it has finally reached its 100th episode! A lot has happened, but that doesn't mean that there's nothing left of what's to come. This episode will be a little different, featuring a quick throwback on what I personally went through as an aspiring dad entrepreneur, and how I experienced the most surreal turns of events in my journey. Finally, I'll be making a big announcement at the end of this episode. The tides are shifting, and it's time for things to take a huge turn. Stay tuned!Here is a sneak peek snippet from the many topics I'll be covering on this episode!Things were already going great for me, as a designer. We were taking in projects left and right, I was taken in by Fiverr- not the marketplace, but the company itself- to work on its web design. Shortly after, I was invited alongside my partner to join an accelerator in Silicon Valley to become the first designer of a company called Similar Web. I started a design podcast and newsletter called Hacking UI, where I interviewed all sorts of creative leaders from big names like Facebook, Air BNB, Uber, Adobe, and many other amazing companies. But there was something that was missing. Something that I ultimately wanted to achieve. I wanted freedom. I wanted to be able to build my own life and take control of it in my own way. I wanted to become the CEO of my life. Hacking UI earned well, finally generating enough money for me to create a new startup. With the birth of my new endeavours, I left Similar Web and let go of such a high paying job, and a great position in a company. It was a financial leap of faith, and I took it.But it was all worth it, and on this episode, I'll tell you why. Hope you enjoy!********Topics discussed on the show:********IntroductionEpisode 100!A Quick ThrowbackEarly ChallengesWhere It All StartedWhat I Need To DoFish Out of WaterThe Last ShotNew GoalsCoaching Helps ClarityJim Carrey and The CheckBeyond The Glass CeilingHitting My First 100KMindblowing CoincidencesAlways Give ValueMy Podcast Goals ManifestedThe Law of AttractionFamily and Health FirstMy Morning RoutineWhere We Are NowWhat I'm BuildingWhat's To ComeA Major Change Niching DownHelping Entrepreneurial Fathers!Working on Your Legacy Still Open to Everyone!Zeroing In on DadpreneursThe NewsletterWrapping Up********Links Mentioned:********JLD's Entrepreneurs on Fire with Calvin Wayman:  https://www.eofire.com/podcast/calvinwayman/You Are A Badass At Making Money - Jen Sincero: https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Badass-Making-Money/dp/0735222975The Newsletter:commitfirst.com/newsletterSagishrieber.com/newsletter********

It has been an absolutely amazing 100 episodes, and before we make our way to the anticipated 100th podcast, I'd like to first recall episode 46, featuring Gloria and Horiany! "You need to keep going, even if things start to go wrong." - Gloria & HorianyYou've probably already heard of the phrase "If there's a will, there's a way." This can't be any truer in the subject of having a clear, specific vision of yourself and your future. If you're able to maintain a clear view of your goals and dreams, you'll eventually project it into your very own reality. This- as we already know- isn't a walk in the park. You'll face many challenges and hurdles to scale, and your grit will be tested. One thing is true for all cases, however: As long as there is perseverance, you will prevail.Throughout different careers and different timelines, we've had great examples of successful people who were able to envision themselves, and make that vision come true. Many of you who regularly watch my podcast would definitely be familiar with Jim Carrey, and the nights he spent driving in Los Angeles and envisioning all sorts of movie directors fiddling on their phones to star him in their next blockbuster. Another good example is Demi Lovato! On a tweet back in 2010, she told herself that she'd be singing at a super bowl one day. And there she was, a decade later in 2020, singing exactly where she told herself she'd sing! But not all heroes wear capes, and not all success stories have to be shining under the light of fame. On this episode, I invited entrepreneurs Gloria & Horiany to talk about the struggles they went through in Venezuela, fighting tooth and nail against all kinds of challenges. They explain how their success was worth all of the lightless nights they worked through without a single flicker of electricity. As long as they maintained the vision in their minds, they were dedicated to seeing their business's growth through.Now a dynamic duo with a skyrocketing business in Aruba, Gloria and Horiany overcame the ocean of seemingly impossible problems that tided their way. Mas Temporada Alta, their video marketing agency, now runs at full capacity to help many companies market their brand through online promotions and video advertisements. Having an international reach, they're able to provide their services across Aruba, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, The Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and the US.Tune in as we talk about the very minute details, going through all twists, turns, and learns of their journey from near-defeat to absolute success on this old but gold episode of The Commit First Podcast! ********Topics discussed on the show:********IntroductionGloria and HorianyThe StrugglesPerseveranceWriting Dreams DownConnectionsRevisiting VisionsHaving a CoachKnow Your EnemyHaving Self-ClarityTaking MASSIVE ActionBusiness Helps PeopleHaving Plans Moving ForwardThe Way The Wheel TurnsWrapping Up********Where to find them:********Their Website: mastemporadaalta.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mastemporadaalta_marketing/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Mastemporadaalta-293598624714438LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mas-temporada-alta/about/********

A second re-release down, here's episode no. 59 with Scott Voelker. "I am all about taking the risk."We all carry a certain vision in our minds that we want to turn into reality. This vision is often fueled by passion, and we could have had this passion for most of our lives. Perhaps it's a passion you found early on in your younger days, or perhaps it's something new that you've just found love for. Regardless of whether it's old or new, dreams are the vision people have for themselves, a goal that they want to work towards for the rest of their lives. It's a great thing to have the perfect visualization of yourself in your mind, and to know where you want to be. But do you know how to get yourself from here to there? A dream- as powerful of a fuse it is in igniting the explosion we call success- is just like potential energy. Sure, it's got the kick to take you places, but it won't go anywhere without the right starter. It won't take you anywhere if you don't take action. How do you take action, exactly?Taking action on your dreams is like making a leap of faith into the uncertainty that the future holds. Comfort zones are often within your space, and you need to get out of THAT space. You have to get to where you want to go, and where you want to go isn't where you are right now. As you watch this episode, you'll realize that taking action is taking risks. When you want to act on your dreams, you'll eventually have to make a gamble and expose yourself to a little risk, with the better chance of growth.On this release, we'll be recalling the topics I covered with Scott Voelker about how we can take the right set of actions and turn our dreams into reality. Tune in as we cover a portion of his book, the "Take Action Effect," which talks about the elaborate plan he devised to help himself and other entrepreneurs find success. Scott emphasizes the importance of mindset and how taking out "Mental trash"- which hinders you from finally working on your goals- is very important. Have you stopped making excuses, and finally started working on goals that you only used to talk about WANTING to work on?Now a father of 3 kids and a loving husband to his wife for the past 25 years and counting, Scott Voelker decided one day that he didn't want to keep swinging hammers for the rest of his life. Right after graduating high school, Scott was pushed into the life of a construction worker. He changed his mind somewhere down the line, and finally decided to take the reins. He steered himself towards the direction of success, building his own company known as "The Brand Creators." With The Brand Creators, Scott has helped thousands of people unlock their true potential by helping then TAKE ACTION. With his guidance, many entrepreneurs have found success he calls their "ultimate freedom business." Scott has proven to be a great brand builder through his work, developing the skills of his clients to turn them into confident, resilient, and future proof entrepreneurs. ********Topics discussed on the show:********IntroductionKnowing Your NumbersMaking That LeapTaking Action = Taking RiskThe Take Action EffectChanging Plans for OpportunitiesRecognizing Your AchievementsGetting Through Mental TrashHow to Create a Future Proof YouThe Shiny Object SyndromeThe PlanPutting It Out ThereAttracting the Right PeopleFind Your "Why"Niche Down"Take Action" Moments********Links Mentioned:********Rock Your Brand: ttps://www.brandcreators.com/category/podcast/Brand Accelerator Live: https://learn.brandcreators.com/brand-accelerator-liveThe Take Action Effect - Scott Voelker: https://www.amazon.com/Take-Action-Effect-Future-Proof-Business-ebook/dp/B07WSYBN2T********Where to find Scott:********His Website: https://www.brandcreators.com/His Email: [email protected]: https://www.instagram.com/scottvoelker/ (@scottvoelker)LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-voelker-8b604325/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scott.voelker.9********

To start the countdown off, here's the re-release of episode no. 51 with Ryan Gottfredson."We think that the way we think is the right way to think." - Ryan GottfredsonWas there ever a time when you were so sure that the way you did something was the best way to go about it, until someone came along and showed you an even better alternative? To top it off, were you easy to accept and learn this method, or did you stick to your old ways despite the new information that could have helped you speed up the process? Once we delve into the topic of mindsets, we'll find that the way we view our world shapes how we think about it. There's another level deeper than the way we think that we can change: The way we see.For this week's show, we'll go back to the time I invited Mindset Coach and author Ryan Gottfredson to talk about the different types of mindsets and explain how the way we perceive life fundamentally controls how we think about or react to it. Ryan explains that these mindsets generally dictate the way a person treats a situation, or new information that comes into their view. Once we are aware of how we see things, we can tweak our viewpoint in order to make it work to our advantage. A good example mentioned on this throwback episode is the difference between the prevention mindset and the promotion mindset. The prevention mindset focuses more on containing the possibility of risk and making sure that any potential danger is avoided. As long as things go smoothly, everything should be fine. The promotion mindset, on the other hand, aims towards taking chances or risks to be able to push closer to their goals. People with this kind of mindset "play to win" and dislike missing opportunities or staying still even with the promise of security from failure.If you had the prevention mindset as the captain of a ship, you'd prioritize making sure that it doesn't sink even if it meant that your journey through the sea would take longer. Meanwhile, a captain who possesses the promotion mindset would take risks sailing into short cuts, even if it meant sailing through rough waters and thunderstorms. Throughout this episode, we discuss these topics and many more helpful mindset-changing tips. Now a mindset author and mental success coach who successfully published his signature book "Success Mindsets," Ryan Gottfredson works on helping various organizations significantly improve the mindsets of their leaders, members, and teams. A Ph.D. holder in Organizational Behavior and Human Resources from Indiana University with a B.A. from Brigham Young University, Ryan currently prospers as a leadership and management professor at the College of Business and Economics at California State University-Fullerton.********Topics discussed on the show:********IntroductionThe Layers of SuccessLevelsHow We Interpret Our WorldHow We View Each OtherMindsets and GlassesMental LensesWhat is a Mindset?Fixed MindsetGrowth MindsetPositive InterventionsChanging Habits For SuccessThe Right QuestionsThe Four MindsetsClosed and Open MindsetsPrevention Versus Promotion MindsetsThe Boat TheoryRyan's MissionInward and Outward MindsetsRyan's Book: Success MindsetsOther Book Recommendations********Links Mentioned:********Episode 67 Commit First: https://youtu.be/o5lsu7v5mS4Success Mindsets: The Keys To Unlocking Success In Life: https://www.amazon.com/Success-Mindsets-Unlocking-Greater-Leadership/dp/1642796913Brené Brown - Rising Strong: https://www.amazon.com/Rising-Strong-Ability-Transforms-Parent/dp/081298580XThe 5 Minute Journal: https://www.intelligentchange.com/products/the-five-minute-journalMindset Assessment: ryangottfredson.comYou are the placebo - Dr. Joe Dispenza: https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Placebo-Making-Matter/dp/1401944582Mindset - Carol Dweck: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40745.MindsetCreativity Inc. - Ed Catmull: https://www.amazon.com/Creativity-Inc-Overcoming-Unseen-Inspiration/dp/0812993012Principles - Ray Dalio: https://www.principles.com********You can find Ryan at:********LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryangottfredsonInstagram: @ryangottfredsonFacebook: https://web.facebook.com/RyanGottfredsonPhD/?_rdc=1&_rdrHis Website: ryangottfredson.com********

Who are you now, and were you any different from the person that you were a few years back?Sometimes, we're faced with the challenge of drifting away from who we are, or who we want to be. Just as Anthony says, having a glimpse of other people's perspective towards you can help you figure out who you are, and can help give you a clearer vision of yourself. It's also important that you ask yourself who you were, who you currently are, and who you want to become. With the answers, you will be able to formulate a plan that works towards realizing the identity that you dream to attain. Stemming from the Latin word "Identitatem" meaning "sameness," the word "Identity" represents the characteristics that determine who or what a person or thing is. When you combine the aspects that define a person and the person themselves, identity is- in one way or another- achieved. By then, the person and the traits that they have are one with each other. At times, a person experiences a particular dissonance where they are unable to figure out who they are, or where they belong in the world. They're at a loss trying to find the characteristics that ultimately define them.Fortunately, humans are complex, and identities don't tend to stay the same or remain a question. Just because you can't get up at 4 in the morning to push through with an intensive workout routine now, doesn't mean you won't be able to do it later. Humans are intelligent, and have the ability to adapt. With that said, they're able to shift identities. You can always work towards obtaining the characteristics you desire, all you have to do is plan your journey and to follow that plan without any compromises.For this video, I invited former NFL player and ex-American Ninja Warrior Anthony Trucks to talk about the Identity Shift, the process of controlling your identity to change your life and the traits that make up who you are. With the Shift Method, Anthony explains that you can become the future self that you dream to be, with almost any trait that you desire to obtain- in time. Join us as we tackle different phases that take place during one's identity shift, and the specific steps and nitty-gritty details on how you can further improve your self-improvement game plan.Anthony Trucks, now a CEO, Coach, and speaker, extends a helping hand to those entrepreneurs who face trouble taking control of their identity and shifting it to manifest the better selves that live in their visions. With The Shift Method, Anthony guarantees that you will be able to manage yourself more effectively, and plan your days in a way that is infallible. All you have to do is follow those plans, and make sure that you have a Discipline System to resort to in case you start falling out of your routine. ********Topics discussed on the show:********IntroductionControlling Your IdentityThe Shift MethodZone LagsThe Real KeyWanted Hero Journey MapThe Shift PhasePlanning Your DaysUnderstanding Your ValuesIdentity Comes With ActionsThe ExperimentAnchor The IdentityBuilding CharacterThe Discipline SystemHow to Visualize CorrectlyIdentity and ManifestationWrapping Up********You can find Anthony at:********His Website: anthonytrucks.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonytrucks/Instagram: @anthonytrucks********Links Mentioned:********David Goggins: https://davidgoggins.com/Dave Hollis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-hollis-b5a48671/Ryan Levesque: https://askmethod.com/about/Dean Graziosi: https://www.deangraziosi.com/Cultivating an Unshakable Character - Jim Rohn: https://www.amazon.com/Cultivating-Unshakable-Character-Walk-Your/dp/B00OH7BH7WUntethered Soul - Michael Singer: https://untetheredsoul.com/Identity Shift - Anthony Trucks: Identityshiftbook.com********

Have you tried comparing your current self to your past self to see if you've grown since then?Maybe you're faced with so much adversity and overwhelming struggles at the moment, and it's made it difficult for you appreciate how far you've come now. Sometimes it gets a little too disorienting when all these problems are coming at you from everywhere, but when we regain our footing in the middle of all the challenges life throws at us, we've got to realize how much we've grown. Every hurdle we've already overcome has taught us a valuable lesson. Otherwise, we wouldn't be where we are now if we hadn't learned them then.A lot of times, solving the problems which hinder our growth has to be done by looking inwards. Fear has been the precursor to danger for the longest, but the most important thing to note about fear is that it's not real. Although danger may be very real, sometimes fear shows up in situations that danger never would, and that's what stops us from achieving things that could have otherwise been the next level to our journey for growth."To fear something that hasn't even happened is insanity."When you fear something unfortunate that hasn't even taken place, you're submitting to the negative effects of a non-existent outcome. For this episode, I invited former Disney Executive Terrance X Johnson to share a very important message about growth. We'll also be discussing different growth-hindering struggles that emerged in our entrepreneurial journeys, and the values and mindsets we learned to overcome them with. Terrance explains that we are able to overcome fear if we learn to embrace reality and live in the now. If we learn to focus more on what's going on rather than what MIGHT or might never even) happen, we can avoid feeling the adverse consequences of an outcome that's real only in our heads.Alongside this in-depth talk about growth and fears are many other valuable golden nuggets to pick up, such as how humility can teach one to showcase their value through service, having the right view towards the challenges of entrepreneurship, and the hidden power of having a positive frequency. He'll also talk about how writing what you want down is a helpful way to practice manifestation. At some point, you'll find habits that help you grow, and eventually be able to "become your own book."After achieving the epic opportunity of being a Disney executive, Terrance X Johnson finally decided to start walking down his own path as an entrepreneur and CEO. Now a mentor and the founder of TCJ AeroTech, the first African-American drone technology company based in the US, Mr. J aims to help various people, businesses and endeavors prosper by applying the use of drones to our every day lives. The company strives hard to ideally provide the world with various innovations around drone technology in fields such as personal and commercial transpo, aerial surveillance, construction, and many more.This episode covers so much helpful advice from Terrance, and I hope that you enjoy and add these golden nuggets to your own arsenal for success.********Topics discussed on the show:********Terrance's Take on HumilityHow to View The Struggles of EntrepreneurshipAdversities Terrance FacedFrequency and IntuitionMaintaining a Positive FrequencyThe DelayLetting Go of Fear, Embracing RealityHow to Let Go of FearWhere does fear come from?Affirm What You Believe"I Am a Billionaire"The Apple SeedNatural LawLife is Too Short...Stories and ExperiencesKnow What You WantJim Carrey and The CheckTechnology is Advancing, but...To Be KnowledgeableWrite Things DownLiving Life Without LimitsHabits Around GrowthBecome Your Own BookLevels of FrequenciesWork Less, Attract MoreThe Value of ServiceGiving Time Not MoneyLife is Worth LivingDo Not Lose HopeWrapping Up********You can find Terrance at:********Instagram: @thetxjohnsonLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrance-johnson-271812149/His Website: https://www.tcjaerotech.com/********Links Mentioned:********Levels of Energy - Frederick Dodson: https://www.amazon.com/Levels-Energy-Frederick Dodson/dp/1450569323#:~:text=Table%20of%20Contents0%20Your%20Relationship,each%20level%20corresponds%20with%20specific

When it feels like you’ve stretched yourself to the limit trying to make both ends meet while taking care of the nitty-gritty of daily life, you wonder how to even begin to carve out space for your big dreams. Where do you find the energy for that second wind to take the game to the finish line?  There is no shortage of advice when it comes to entrepreneurial hustle, but if you still feel stuck after following them to a T, then you need to take a step back and reassess the fundamentals: Your health, your vision, your energy, your values. People typically equate “doing more” with progress, but this is not always true.  Why does it feel like you’re not moving the needle despite your daily efforts? Doing more of the wrong things actually does more harm, particularly to your health, your wellbeing, and your goals. On the contrary, doing more of the right things can catapult you from an uninspiring, and financially challenging spot, to the very peak of Maslow’s pyramid — fulfillment. But what ARE the right things?  For this episode, I invited Anna Lundberg- founder of One Step Outside- to talk about the many ways of getting one’s self unstuck from an overwhelming and unproductive state, to a higher level of frequency that allows you to achieve greater clarity and focused energy towards your lifelong dreams and goals.  Anna Lundberg is the founder of One Step Outside, where she helps experienced professionals around the world design a career, a business and a lifestyle that brings them more freedom, flexibility and fulfilment - outside of the conventional 9 to 5.  Ex-Oxford and former brand manager & head of digital at Procter & Gamble, today she combines her 10+ years of experience in global branding and digital marketing roles with her training in coaching and positive psychology techniques to help people reimagine the next phase of their career. Anna offers a blend of life coaching and business mentoring on a one-on-one basis and in a group setting.From taking care of yourself to realigning your vision with your values, Anna and I tackle ways in which you can overcome paralysis brought about by the deluge of tasks and ideas that don’t seem to get you anywhere.  There is no copy-pasting the definition of success. Its meaning has to tailor fit you, and only you. Do you have the resilience it takes to move your business and your life forward?  Listen to the podcast to find the answers!**********Topics discussed on the show:**********Reasons for feeling overwhelmedHealth as the main foundation of your goalsPassion projects to inspirePrioritizing your valuesHaving clarity of visionBeing a part of something biggerStepping outside your comfort zoneThe criteria for successCreating intentionality in pursuing your visionThe definition of success is PERSONALAnna’s 5 Pillars of a Sustainable BusinessThe importance of writing your goals on paperYour comfort zone is uncomfortableLevels of Energy: Spirituality and SuccessGrit and Resilience as the biggest driver to success********You can find Anna at:********Anna's Website (With other links):https://onestepoutside.com/links/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/annaselundberg/?originalSubdomain=ukInstagram:@annaselundberg********Mentions:********Leaving The Corporate 9-5 by Anna Lundberg:https://www.amazon.com/Leaving-Corporate-Stories-people-whove/dp/1999700708Reimagining Success with Anna Lundberg:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/reimagining-success-with-anna-s-e-lundberg/id1444846932Levels of Energy by Frederick Dodson:https://www.amazon.com/Levels-Energy-Frederick-Dodson/dp/1450569323Deep Work by Cal Newport:https://www.calnewport.com/books/deep-work/

Scared, perhaps? Or maybe confused?This was an experience Pete went through during his trip to the WOMAD Festival in 2016. As he passed by, he heard the bellowing laughter of a crowd. Thinking a comedian was on-stage, he decided to let the noise pique his curiosity and walked in to join them. He never expected to see loads of people on the floor just uncontrollably giggling the wind out of their lungs. There was no comedian. What the heck is going on?Laughter Yoga. Those were the words written on the sign by the entrance. What on earth is "Laughter Yoga?"Laughter, as you probably already know, is the natural response of the human body towards something either physically or mentally humorous. It's often an involuntary thing, an expression of amusement. But there's more to laughter than just a reaction, or an expression. To many Laughter Yogis like Pete Cann, Laughter is relief. These yogis really take the term "laughter is the best medicine" on a whole new level.No, Laughter Yoga isn't comedy. It's actually a very unique (and effective) mindset or mood exercise. It's not only for entertainment, but also for one's well-being. At first, it may seem awkward or downright weird. But there's a science to this as well. When you start practicing voluntary laughter and start pumping the oxygen through your system, your brain starts to believe that whatever it is you're laughing about, is actually funny.It all starts snowballing from there. The awkwardness disappears, the "HA HAs" begin heaving out on their own, then you find yourself on the ground- or halfway there- head hanging low and arms around your stomach. By the end of the session, you're all teary-eyed and red. However, most importantly, you feel much better. Laughter Yoga recharges your mood and gives you the much-needed positive energy that your brain needs to function beyond your optimal capacity. Doing things with a cheerful mindset is great!For this episode, I invited one of the most cheerful yogis around- Pete Cann, The Laughter Man. Today, he will be discussing his very own journey as an entrepreneur and laughter yogi. He will also share his own tips and tricks on how to give your life a little more joy through voluntary, uncontrollable and therapeutic laughter. Owning a chef employment agency for the last 13 years, Pete found an opportunity to help himself and many others around the world through laughter. Now called Canned Laughter, his company has helped employees improve their mood within their workplace, resulting in a more positively charged increase in their productivity. Who doesn't like a good laugh?********Topics discussed on the show:********Pete's StoryHow Laughter HelpsLaughter as a BusinessYour Own SupplyThe Laughter MeditationThe Natural ReleasePete's Laughter RoutineLaughter for SleepPete's Visualization BoardThe Password TrickKeeping Your VisionDaring DreamsJoin The Laughter Rooms********You can find Pete at:********Pete's Website:https://petecann.comInstagram:@petecannthelaughterman

That's a pretty big box, right? Now, imagine two, or even four of them stacked on top of each other. Imagine 13-14 more hours of extra time in your week. With the right mindset, the right questions and the right routine, it's far from impossible to take your time, your earnings, and double (or even quadruple) them. Here's how.So far, we have featured more than one take on how aligning your calendar to your values can really help maximize your productivity. Without knowing what it is that you truly value, you won't have the slightest idea about where to start and what to prioritize. It's important to know your values in order to discern what it is that you want to dedicate most of your time to within your daily schedule. But there's more to the secret of how you can design your own life. While it's important to know what your values are, the change only starts to take place when you know exactly HOW to utilize those values, and how to prioritize those values.On today's episode, I invited Simon Severino so that he could share his personal journey, and the valuable lessons he learned that ultimately contributed to his life and business's growth. Tune in as we talk about various topics revolving around values, priorities, as well as how to properly utilize them in order to improve your schedule and upscale your business. We'll also take a deep dive into the story of his own company, Strategy Sprints, and where it all started for Simon. Now a family man, founder, and member of the Forbes Business Council, Simon spent 17 years honing his craft as a business growth advisor. Strategy Sprints has contributed to the growth of multiple iconic businesses such as Uber Eats, Google, Crayon, Consillience Ventures, and many others. Their goal is to help CEOs manage their businesses more efficiently and improve their productivity with more hours, resulting in over double their current revenues. All of that, with the guarantee that it happens within 90 days. ********Topics discussed on the show:********How Strategy Sprints StartedWhat is Strategy Sprints?The Process75 Hard StoriesRoutines and DisciplineBrick TrainingHow to Prioritize2 Important QuestionsSimon's Routine"Top 3"PrioritiesHabits: Daily, Weekly, MonthlyThe Network EffectWorking ON The BusinessUpscaling Your BusinessFlip The ScriptThe Power of Meditation********Mentions:********Check Out Simon's Podcast featuring me:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgG_k80Ol6A&t=88sGetting Things Done - David Allen:https://gettingthingsdone.com/Asana - Project Management System:https://asana.com/?noredirectDr. Andrew Huberman:https://hubermanlab.com/********You can find Simon at:His Website: strategysprints.comInstagram: @strategysprintsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonseverino

(w/ Bob Gentle)*******Hey everyone!While it's true that literally putting our money, time and effort into our business can do more than just help its growth, it's important to note that also putting that same abundance of investment into ourselves will really shape our lives for the better. The question is: Have you started investing in YOU?All of these resources are never wasted if they're spent to help you realize your own values and goals as well as gaining a clear vision of them. In a way, you can consider it a form of self love. You're helping yourself grow and evolve. As Bob Gentle stated, you can only learn when you're moving. If you don't move, there's nothing to course-correct from. Life coaches, trainers, business advisors: They're worth all the money. Remember, things you don't know that you don't know could get you in trouble, and the best way to avoid that is by investing in yourself. Invest in your growth to expand and evolve, to know what you initially didn't.Today's episode features our returning guest and business coach Bob Gentle as we talk about "Masterminds." Forming your own Mastermind is one of the most helpful self-investments out there. What's a Mastermind? A Mastermind group is a meeting between multiple peers with the objective of giving each other helpful advice. The goal is to give and receive your own advice or life lessons to each other in order to collectively benefit and grow. To form a mastermind group, you should find at least five or six of other fellow entrepreneurs who share similar ideals with you. Stay tuned as we discuss how we brought about our own mastermind groups, and how YOU can make your own. On this episode, you can expect important tips such as sharing values with your other Mastermind friends, and having the right outlook as you become a part of one. Apart from a multitude of other tips we'll be discussing, Bob advises that it's a sure way to learn if you're the small fish in the room. Always ask yourself how much control you have as a part of your Mastermind, and never forget to park your ego at the door! If you'll enter a mentor-based Mastermind, it's best to be a giver. If you want to grow, others do too! By giving as you receive, you'll grow together. ********Topics discussed on the show:********Bob's StoryClarity of VisionMoving and LearningThe Mastermind LoopThe Grand VisionWhy People Should InvestThe Secret UniversityForming/Finding Your MastermindBeing A StudentSet Your IntentionWhat You Don't Know********Mentions:********Personal Brand Entrepreneurs Show Community:amplifyme.agency/roadmapamplifyme.agency/insidersPersonal Brand Entrepreneurs Show:https://www.youtube.com/user/AberdeencgAzul Terronez:https://www.linkedin.com/in/azul-terronez/My Coach, Talie:https://www.instagram.com/coachingwithtalieThink and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill:https://www.amazon.com/Think-Grow-Rich-Landmark-Bestseller/dp/1585424331********You can find Bob at:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobgentle/?originalSubdomain=ukFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bobgentle01Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bobgentle/

We've all figured out what our big goals are, and what our endgames will be. As entrepreneurs, having a clear vision of where you'll be almost to the point of immersion is a fantastic feat in itself. But sometimes, we're so caught up and focused on our destination that we forget about the journey.For today's episode, I invited Digital Strategist and entrepreneur Pete Everitt to talk about how goals can be overwhelming, and how sometimes we encounter hurdles in figuring out how to find the bridge connecting point A and our visualized point B. Fortunately, Pete's here to help us properly manage big goals by breaking them down into smaller chunks and deconstructing them.Now the founder of SEOHive, a six-figure digital marketing agency, Pete Everitt finally decided to take charge of his life and become his own boss. If one thing became clear to him early on in his career, it's that he hated working for other people. One day he decides to start looking at his own journey. He realized that instead of going through all of the stress someone else is going to profit from, why not exert the same amount of effort on something that HE himself will earn from? With that realization in mind, he set up his very own agency. Now a prosperous company, SEOHive has helped over a hundred agencies in their growth, serving more than 600 campaigns within just the year 2020.Tune in as we discuss various topics to help fast track your success and build the steps leading to your visualized success.

As an aspiring young entrepreneur, Dean already had a vision of his own goals, and knew exactly what he wanted to achieve early on in his life.Coming from an average family without wealthy roots, Dean is faced with hardships. With his friends going to prison and his life seemingly passing him by at the age of 21, he decided to write down 10 things to ultimately achieve. Not even a decade later, he had achieved 9 of those 10 goals, and by the age of 40, he was able to finally fulfill the last one; meeting Prime Minister David Cameron. Now the holder of the fastest zero to exit sale offered by a recruitment company in the UK, Dean exited for an 8 figure sum at the age of 30, only nearly 3 years after starting! Still an active businessman, Dean is the founderof RealiseEd, which is an education agency that focuses on seeking out the best schools for their applicants, maximizing the best opportunities for their career in education. Dean is also the original NED advisor and investor of SourceBreaker, which is the 48th fastest growing tech company in Europe (FT 2019.)

If you're tired of being part of the herd and using conventional means only to earn a little, Chris is here to open new doors. Learning only later on in his life, Chris realized that there were more ways to financially prospering than just through stocks, or retirement plans and mutual funds. On today's show, he talks about how he discovered Alternative Investments, explaining that the returns that they present can be more reliable and profitable than your usual every-day investment.Join us as we zero in on very important and informative topics, such as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and Chris's very own iteration of it known as the "Hierarchy of Investors." He states that following this hierarchy can help you make more profitable investments if done right, and can even reward you with as much as 15%-30% in annual returns. In comparison, conventional investments usually earn just about 5%-10% in returns, and that's a big difference.Chris doesn't even need to work anymore, and if he can do that, you can too. As an educator, Chris strives to help others learn what he did later on in his life. The upside to it is that you can start sooner! As the founder of The Prolific Investor, his goal is to challenge conventional wisdom and show people exactly why it isn't working. ********Topics discussed on the show:********Chris's StoryAlternative InvestmentFinancial EducationMaslow's Hierarchy of NeedsThe Hierarchy of InvestorsAdvantages and DisadvantagesInvesting for Cashflow15%-30% ReturnsInsuranceVolatiltiyTax BenefitsAsset ProtectionAsymmetric RiskThink Outside The BoxTurn-key Single Family Rental ProvidersWrapping Up********Links Mentioned:********Rich Dad Poor Dad - Robert Kiosakihttps://www.amazon.com/Rich-Dad-Poor-Teach-Middle/dp/1612680194Unfair Advantage - Robert Kiosakihttps://www.amazon.com/Unfair-Advantage-Power-Financial-Education/dp/1612680100/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=unfair+advantage&qid=1621496080&s=books&sr=1-1********You can find chris at:His website: theprolificinvestor.net********

Now at the top of his game and continuing to further improve himself and his career, Mark sits with us to pass a bit of his knowledge over.These recent years have been rough for the world, and more so in the business industry. With COVID-19 developing new strains and quarantines becoming more strict as time goes on, governments are forced to temporarily withhold hundreds of thousands of private businesses to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. Because of this, physical businesses are beginning to close down and go bankrupt due to the unavailability of customers. Although a lot of entrepreneurs have taken logistical casualties because of the virus, a good half of the business world learned to adapt to the new normal by establishing online brands and utilizing social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other websites to keep them running. This episode also features Mark's advice on how to start your own online business and keep it running through digital means. Mark Bowness is the founder and director of We Build Tribes, helping thousands of coaches, entrepreneurs, and business owners improve and build their own tribes. He first founded his international business by leasing a 200 acre-island in Fiji to invite the world, welcoming them to become "tribe members." This project, "Tribewanted," earned the spotlight in over 200 media outlets globally.********Topics discussed on the show:********Building YourselfDetaching From OutcomesBuilding ResilienceThe Blue Ocean YouLearn, Then DelegateDealing With OverwhelmFocus on 5 Weekly TasksTime Management********Links and Tools Mentioned:********We Build Tribes:https://webuildtribes.com/The Blue Ocean Strategy:https://www.blueoceanstrategy.com/what-is-blue-ocean-strategy/Evernote:https://evernote.com/Slack:https://slack.com/********You can find Mark at:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markbowness/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarkBownessWeBuildTribes/Mark's Website: https://markbowness.com.au/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markbowness/Twitter: https://twitter.com/markbowness********

When I heard of the tragedy of Kobe Bryant and his daughter's deaths, I was shocked in two major ways. 1. It was a heart buster as a father: I have a young daughter and she means the world to me and our entire family. 2. I was a hell of a brainf*** as an entrepreneur/ high achiever (sorry for the language):I mean - You can build all the success in the world - but then you'll die in a helicopter crash! This was unreal! It was so much to process.I called up a good friend and coach Talie Davis Weir and asked her what she thought - and she said "You know Sagi, we just have to cherish every moment of our life". I connected to a recent podcast episode by Hal Elrod in which he talked about his priorities in life. In this episode I talk about these things and tie them all together, and hopefully, it will give you some food for thought and more importantly - something to fire you up about in your own life! What are YOUR priorities in life? Let me know what your insights were from this Kobe Bryant tragedy. My condolences to all the families that were impacted by this terrible accident.P.S.

Hey everybody! Recently I've been reflecting on my contribution to society (in Talie Davis Weir's mastermind). Besides a couple of things like "I should make more time for free consultation calls" and "I should really make sure to donate 10% of my profits to charity" -  I came to a deep insight... I'm teaching all the members of my online courses and communities.  I'm educating and mentoring about specific stuff - and I do guide a lot of people for free one on one - but...  WHAT ABOUT MY OWN CHILDREN?I'm with them usually when they are both together and therefore not able to actually spend enough one on one time with them, and I also want to teach them as well about life and strengthen their curiosity to learn what THEY want to learn.   So here's what I decided....  From now on they will have something called DADDY PRACTICE! Since then - every week I started spending a full hour with each one of them - alone - and to learn with/teach them about the things THEY choose to learn about. I encourage for you to try this out for yourselves! It's so much fun and I bet this will impact them greatly.  Our kids are our contribution to society as well - no less than our charity.We should make sure they grow up to be curious and good-hearted human beings that serve society and contribute to their own surroundings.Agree? Disagree? Have you ever tried something similar with your kids?P.S. Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast:iTunes | Stitcher | Spotify | and in your favorite podcasting app

Hey everyone!Today on the show I brought on - for the second time - Jason Zook! Jason is one of my mentors and a super successful entrepreneur who I’ve been following for years. One thing I can say about Jason that I can’t say for most influencers that I follow - is that he has a VERY unique way of writing and communicating to his audience. If I was to read one of his emails without ever knowing who sent it - I would immediately know it was him. That’s a pretty unique skill by itself - and today we talk about just that! Jason just wrote a book called ‘Own Your Weird’ and it’s all about how to get your way in life while still being YOU, and how to double down on what makes you unique! As soon as I saw that this book is coming out I asked Jason back on the show to discuss it. So here we are, and we’re also doing a book giveaway on this episode so look out for that! Last but not least - we discussed Membership sites! Jason has his WAIM (Wandering Aimfully) Membership which he runs along with wife Caroline, and it’s going really well for them, so I wanted to pick his brain on the topic of Memberships VS Course because I’m interested in that as well.Enjoy the episode and remember to own YOUR weird!P.S.

In this conversation I talked to Ben about how he came up and ended up joining Elementor 3 years ago and about his work there. Now if you’re a Wordpress and Elementor fan - this conversation gets pretty technical at some point when I ask Ben about some features, so if you’re not technical about Wordpress feel free to fast forward that part to the last 10 minutes of the conversation. I really enjoyed this conversation with Ben, hope you do to! Enjoy! And don’t forget to subscribe to the show if you haven’t yet (on iTunes, Youtube, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app).

Jason Zook is one of the most creative entrepreneurs that I’ve ever met or even heard of. He left his dayjob, and managed to creatively build a 7 figure business called iWearYourShirt which was covered on almost every possible news outlet. He basically wore tshirts of brands and made a creative viral video on a daily basis wearing tshirts with the paying company’s logo. But then he found himself in a lifestyle he did not want for himself - so he made a bold descision, shut down iWearYourShirt and make a new lifestyle for himself. But that didn’t stop his creativity - Since then he self published a book in which he got a sponsor for every single page, sold his family name twice, invented a creative payment system to launching products online, and had multiple successful online courses. If this is not enough, he sold his future with his crazy invention of buymyfuture.com’ - twice - before bringing in his lovely wife Caroline and selling HER future as well. Our guest, as you can understand by now, always does things differently, and ever so creatively. But he doesn’t stop there… He actually writes & podcasts about every piece of his process & journey transparently, sharing his decision making process, strategy and tools. In this interview, we went into the topics of growing an email list and an engaged audience. We talked about getting things done - especially when it feels like you just don’t have enough time on your hands. We talked a little about sponsorship and also about starting out your brand. Enjoy!

Glen Henry is a super talented and successful rapper. He was deep in the rap game, building his rapping career, traveling on tours across the US… But when he became a father he made a bold decision: He decided that he wants to stay home, with his kids and wife, instead of living his life on tour. The calling to be a present dad and husband was bigger for him than being a famous rapper, and he decided to ruthlessly listen to his gut feeling despite his fans, social environment, and current success. With this super bold decision, Glen decided to become a stay-at-home dad and eventually started documenting his life raising his children. Eventually, he launched a youtube channel called "Beleaf in Fatherhood"! I’m super happy to say that just prior to being on this show, his youtube channel just crossed the 100K subscribers mark, and this provides for him and his family.
