  • Blog #167 – Mount Rushmore of Influences

    Know who you want to be by the people you look up to. Have a Mount Rushmore of people you admire. These people poses qualities that you wish to obtain. For example if Abraham Lincoln is on your Mount Rushmore of Influences then what about Lincoln do you admire? If it is his honesty then channel Honest Abe when you are in a situation that is hard to tell the truth. What would Abraham Lincoln do? Asking this question gets us out of our own head and makes us think from a different perspective.

    Think and write down 5 people who would be in your Mt. Rushmore. Use these influential people when you get stuck and need more inspiration. Learn and steal from them. Do what they would do. You are the Frankenstein of these influences.

  • Blog #153 – Challenges of an Influencer

    Being and influencer is not easy. You are trying to move people to become a better person but they may not want to be moved.

    Show them the light and wake them up. Why is what they’re doing bad and what you’re doing great?

    Create a shift in their mindset and beliefs that makes them want to change. Some people hate themselves so much that they will not change for themselves but they might change for other people. Tell them how this affects them and the people around them.

    Use whatever leverage you can to make them open their eyes to a greater life. Anything less than everlasting change is not acceptable and it is up to you as an influencer to take it upon yourself to do the best you can. Sometimes you will have to be the bad guy in the short run to be the good guy in the long run. If you are coming from a place of love and looking out for their best interests than you have to do whatever it take to get the results your looking for. The how is not as important as what you are influencing. You will find a way if you know where you are going.

    People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

  • Blog #120 – Life on Repeat

    I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

    The more you repeat something the more confident you will be in the end result. The more you repeat something the more you will make it your own. Your personality will start to come out and eventually it will be uniquely yours. You will create versions that will only be linked to you. Your influences are uniquely your own and it will create your unique style. The hard part is to repeat and repeat and repeat the same process without giving up. It feels like it’s the same thing over and over again but if you compare two versions closely there are slight variations that make each unique. You will find out what you like and what you don’t like only through trail and error. Once you find ways you like you keep doing that and improve upon it. Keep grinding!

  • Blog #95 – Great Leaders

    To be a great leader you have to have great influence on people. People are not going to follow you if there is no influence. To influence people you yourself must be influence. The influence is in your belief. You must have 100% belief of what you are selling. You must have conviction and certainty that you are correct. There must not be any doubt or people will feel that in your voice.

  • Blog #20 – Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

    Surround yourself with people that compliment you.

    There is no way for someone to do everything. If you know yourself and what you are good and bad at then you can find other people that are good at what you are bad at. People that cover up your weaknesses and highlight your strengths.

    Surround yourself with people who are just as passionate as you are. You and your team must have a common goal and purpose.

    These things have always been said and you’ve probably heard them before. The problem is most people do not know how to recruit people.

    You have to sell your dream to people and get them to believe as much as you do.
