There is a champion inside of you.
And most of the time when I'm talking to you.
Dude, I'm talking to...
that champion inside of you.
And I'm curious.
Because there's a part of you that says, it's okay, it's five o'clock, you worked hard, take the day off, go home. Worry about it tomorrow.
because no one will fault you for being average. They won't.
In fact, our society is designed to cuddle average people, averageness. You watch TV shows about people being average, people being broke, not having enough money. When we live in a world that's unlimited resources, unlimited money, there's no limit to the amount of money in this world. How do I know that? Because a business cannot exist today and tomorrow that business could be worth a billion dollars in one, like
just out of nowhere. So if you're not capturing your share of that wealth that you know that you want, it's because you have an invisible structure running inside your subconscious mind that is blocking you from getting that. And you have been lied to. You've been lied to. You've been lied to by society and you've been told the answer is to work hard.
And working hard is the solution to success.
And I think we need to frame that working hard is the solution to becoming average.
Now.
Let's think honestly right here. you are, and let's say 10 out of 10 is you're the champion. You are playing at a champion greatness level that you've only dreamt of. And level one is you are average Joe, just like everybody else. Where are you?
Let's be honest. Now you could say, well, I don't have the energy because I'm older or I've got kids.
None of this has to do with volume of time or volume of energy. You're an infinite being that's comprised of a mind and a heart and an ego and a soul and a spirit that's connected with this world in ways we can't comprehend. And we spend all our time living in our mind when our mind is a part of us.
You're missing out on the energetic aspect.
that you are literally shaping the life that you live, literally.
But what you can't see is that you most likely keep recreating the same thing you don't want over and over again, or a version that you've allowed yourself to accept. Because if you're not making the seven or eight figures of what you want, it's because you've allowed yourself to accept not making that.
And.
The fallacy that we live in in this world is the belief that just working hard is enough. Like that pattern of working hard is ingrained so deep.
And over the years, we fragment part of ourselves to survive.
So I'm curious.
When did the champion and you get silenced? When was that? When was that time?
When you were being the champion and it didn't work out and you didn't get the external feedback or acknowledgement that you wanted and you realized in that specific moment.
that it was not safe to be that version anymore.
You know what I'm talking about. You may have even forgot this. Cause you don't like to think about how many years you've spent not living as the champion.
Walking the path to greatness is not an easy path. You have to choose it every single day.
I do my best to walk the path of greatness and there are times when I'm in phases of being average. But I do my best to push at the higher level over and over again.
And playing at the level of greatness, playing at the level of your full potential is one of the hardest, most difficult, most challenging, most rewarding, more satisfying things I've ever done in my entire life.
So if you take a look at what you've been doing lately with your time and energy, with your mental headspace.
What would the champion in you be doing? The same or different?
So maybe we just reclaim that part of ourselves now and let that part go. And maybe there's the.
The dreamer in you.
Are you still dreaming big? Are you? Or did the dreamer also get silence? I'm guessing the dreamer got silenced by practicality or kids or being realistic.
That word realistic is toxic.
It's a battle to be great in this world today. When was the moment that you stopped dreaming? Was it because you dreamed of a goal and you didn't hit it and it was painful?
Or you lost love or connection or support or acknowledgement from someone around you? I've experienced that.
My first wife is the one who shut off the...
the bold, rambunctious version of me. She didn't like that version.
So I put that version away. And for years I put that version away. Even my second wife didn't like that version. But I know one day there's a woman out there who will allow me to be myself.
Because not being yourself is just, it's awful. You're not living the blueprint that you came in this lifetime to live because look how many different people are on this planet. We all have different gifts. We all have different beliefs. We all have different experiences.
And.
We're conditioned to think we need to be like everyone else. So people like us, so we don't stand out, so we don't get judged, so we don't get rejected. But do you really think with all the unique people on this planet, your goal here is to be just like everyone else?
Absolutely not. It's not supposed to be here for everybody else. Your goal here on this planet at this time is to be the unique expression of you.
the authentic expression of you. And I read this, did you know that authenticity is a higher vibrational frequency on the human being in the body than love?
And my guess as to why that is, that authenticity is the highest vibrational frequency is because that's your soul shining through. That's who you, you are a soul with a body, not a mind with a soul.
When did you hide that authentic version of you? I remember when I hid mine, it was eighth grade. End of the year signing yearbooks.
Earlier that year we had Halloween. Back in the eighties, there was this Domino's Pizza little character called the Noid and he had these like stretchy ears and I thought it would be fun to dress up like that. So me and my mom made a costume, put like macaroni in the ears, the stretchy ears. And I get to school in eighth grade and I was the only kid in my class dressed up in a costume.
And I was like, wow.
get to the end of the year, we're signing yearbooks and half of the people who sign in my yearbook say, you're weird and strange and have a cool summer. And I was like, what do mean I'm weird and strange? I was literally probably the most authentic expression of myself I'd ever been. And I learned that if I'm that version, the world will not like me.
And back then I was a lot younger, external validation meant a lot, especially in junior high.
So I hid that version. And I've been trying to pry him open for the past 10 years as I've realized this.
Then there is also the Joker, the jokester.
Was there a time in your life that you were a lot funnier than you are now?
Was there a time in your life when you told a lot of jokes? Has that gone away?
What happened to make you hide the joker? The playful one. And maybe like there's that, oh, the next part, there's that little boy, that playful little boy or that playful little girl in you who just wants to have fun.
Where has that part of you been?
Maybe we just decide right now while you're listening to this to release those people, release the champion, release the dreamer, release the joker, the little boy, the little girl, let the authentic one out. What do you have to lose? We worry so much about other people judging us.
when the reality is everyone else is so consumed with their own fears, they really don't even notice us. And if you're listening to this right now, you are in a single digit percentage of the population. Like literally, you're single digit. Single digit because you are doing the work.
You are putting in the effort to expand yourself, not just make money and pay bills. You're doing the work. So you're already ahead of everybody else. So that means everybody else that you're worried about judging you is far more consumed with their own issues and limitations than you are.
for the people. It's like, I need to start growing my business. I need to start putting to myself on social media. I don't want people not to like me. But this world we live in is changing, right? It's changing rapidly. And what's, and we got this whole AI evolution we're going through.
What's the answer to staying relevant during AI and the evolution of AI? The way to stay relevant is authenticity. Being you. Being you. And one of the reasons I'll never stop fucking cussing on my content is because that's how I talk.
And if some people, you don't like that, well, I'm sorry, that's me. I'm not gonna change who I am.
And just imagine like if you started being your authentic self, can you sense that part of you that starts celebrating the part of you that starts just going crazy for it? Like let's do this because you've played the limited scaled down fear-based version of you for longer than you can count.
And that version is not generating the results you want.
So, maybe it's time to let the other version out.
So let's dive in right now.
First of all, which one of those do you think is the most important to release first? The champion, the dreamer, the jokester, the playful little boy, the playful little girl, the authentic version of you. You know, which one you need to let out right now.
So the question is, when was that moment? It was not a period of time. It was a specific moment where you made the conclusion that it was not safe to be this version anymore.
and you shut that version down and you hit it. And in that moment, you created a story that said it's not safe to be this version or some other that like, so what was that story that you created in that moment? And if you're having trouble finding it, just ask yourself why you're feeling that heaviness right now as I'm pushing you to that edge.
That's the story that you need to drop. That's the story that you need to change. It's not about money. It's about avoiding that edge. And right now this conversation is about the edge. So are you walking that edge or are you distracting yourself a little bit during this conversation because I'm getting way too close to the pain point.
The key to living as the champion in your life is never backing down when you get close to that edge. does. The champion is about working 80 hours a week and taking ice baths and all that crap. It's not about that. It's not even about the results. It's about the standard.
that when you are presented with growth, you do not back down. That is
what a champion does.
The sad story is that the world needs ditch diggers too. Not everyone is destined to be great.
My purpose in life, I used to think was to wake everybody up and I'm trying to wake everybody up. But the thing is certain people can't woken up. But I realized that the more I become my authentic self, my pattern is really to help the champions rise. But are you letting that champion out?
Are you aware of that moment in your past when you hid the champion or the dreamer or the jokester or the playful little boy or the playful little girl or that authentic version of you? Because like right there, those pieces are the key to that wild success. And really, if we're going to focus on one, the champion is really the standard, which is I don't back down from an edge because those edges are growth.
And the thing that gets you out of the comfortable place that's holding you back is discomfort. You have to go through discomfort to break through the comfort.
And there are lots of stories and excuses on why you don't have to.
but you are capable of more than this. And it doesn't matter how many hours of the day or how many responsibilities you have or how much money you have.
It's so easy to make money, so easy. One of the favorite quotes I've ever heard was from another coach named Chris Cooper back in my Tony Robbins days when I was struggling financially. He says, it's easy to make money. It's just easier not to make money.
So are you getting clear? Are you getting offended? You're getting riled up? You're getting pissed off? How are you feeling right now? You're feeling called out? If you're feeling frustrated right now, turn that into decisive power.
What is a decision?
A decision is a locked in frame of what is going to happen and what is not going to happen. Because when you decide, I am letting the champion out, that means you are not allowing yourself the option to hide the champion anymore. A decision is removing the option of the opposite of happening.
You would be so surprised how many clients I coach who realize they haven't actually made the decision yet. They've just been wanting something and working towards it for years. Because when you remove all the other options, but to hit the target.
and you don't hit the target, can destroy you.
How many of you have been destroyed by that before? In fact, that's one of the reasons people shut down for good. They do. They went out for the baseball team in high school, gave it all they had, tried it all summer, missed varsity and didn't get to play. And they decided I'm never gonna push that hard again for the rest of my life because it was too painful.
But that failure is the training ground for the next level.
So if you want to play a champion level, you're at the right place. You want to break through. You got to decide to break through. You want to go exponentially faster work with me. I'm going to hold you to a standard that's higher than ever imagined. I'm going to hold your feet to the fire. And when it gets uncomfortable, I am not going to back down because that's how you break through.
I wish I so wish you could see what I see when I coach high performers, when they say they're going to take an action and hit a goal. I don't have to question whether they're going to do it because when they say it, is true. A hundred percent. The people at the, on the beginning phases, lower income under a hundred K maybe a hundred under 200, they are not very decisive.
Not sure, need an example of that. Go back to my dog food story video I shared a week or two ago.
You have to squash the part of you that says it's okay to be average, that it's okay to just be comfortable and be where you're at.
Comfort will eventually lead to pain.
Pain will eventually lead to being broke. And being broke sucks.
especially when there's so many ways to make money in this world.
Those opportunities and thoughts don't show up until you are in the frame where you can see those opportunities. So my question for you right now is the champion back in charge.
is the dreamer standing next to him.
Is the jokester there putting a smile on everybody's face being, and is that playful little boy or playful little girl dancing along the way? And are you celebrating the authentic expression of life that you are with your quirks and your personalities, or maybe you have a thinning spot on your hair that your little boys like to touch. That's your expression. That's what your body looks like.
That's what holds the frequency of you.
Some people spend so much of their lives in a war with against themselves. what happens if all that energy got directed in a positive way instead of spending years fighting yourself?
I had a breakthrough, it was probably almost seven years ago. I was on a coaching call. It was a group call. And I said to the group, I don't have self judgment anymore. And it were going to kind of shock me for those words to come out of my mouth, but I hadn't realized it. And I don't have self judgment anymore. I don't. Because I gave myself permission to be myself.
And we like to think we know what's going on. Like have you ever said something? Have you ever had somebody say something to you that was incredibly out of character for them, but was exactly what you needed to hear? That was life talking through someone else to you. Just like you have had times where you said something to someone that was out of character for you that you felt bad about. But the reality is they needed to hear that. So life was talking through you. Well, we do have control of
is what we focus on.
And when you let your fears run your life, when you put the champion in the backseat, the dreamer, the joker, the little boy, little girl, the authentic version, when you put all those in the back seat, you are filtering and dimming your light, potential because it's scary or it doesn't feel good or people won't like you. And that's when you get an average life.
We don't know how long we're gonna be here for. None of us do.
Maybe you should start living like there is no tomorrow. As cliche as that sounds.
Let's take the limits off.
Put down the pedal to the metal.
Be yourself. Drop the excuses.
