WOW—We are back with more of my Top 25 Lessons in 25-years. Today we have lessons #11 through #20 and I believe it’s going to light a spark in your soul. These are the lessons forged through years of sweat, setbacks, and success in business, life, and leadership.
From how to create deep, internal change… to the power of mentorship, team culture, and mindset… this episode is all about leveling up who you are and how you can lead even more effectively.
Here’s a sneak peek at what we’re covering today:
Lesson #11: The deepest and most profound change
happens on the inside. You either invite change into your life
— or it bursts forth from within you. Real growth starts in
the heart and shows up in your actions.
Lesson #12: Have a coach. Have a mentor. No one
evolves to their best version alone.
Every champion has someone pouring into them. Who’s pouring into
you right now and
who are you pouring into?
Lesson #13: Greatness is a mindset — and it never
ends. Whether you’re a trainer, leader, or parent, the goal is
the same: show up fully every single day. Every session, every
conversation, every podcast — bring your BEST.
Lesson #14: The bigger your dream, the more
important your team. You can’t build big dreams with small
thinking or solo effort. Great leaders build great people — and
that’s how you change the world.
Lesson #15: Keep a white belt mentality. Never
stop learning. Stay humble. Keep growing. Growth is the oxygen
of greatness.
Lesson #16: Know your top five roles in life. Say
“yes” to your priorities and “no” to the noise. Define your
mission — then live it with intentionality.
Lesson #17: Your environment dictates how you
think, feel, and act. Upgrade your surroundings — from your
workspace to your gym to your relationships — and watch your
energy shift instantly.
Lesson #18: Get off your phone. Seriously. Carve
out phone-free time every day and reclaim your focus,
creativity, and peace.
Lesson #19: Want to make more money? Get more blue
sky and mellow yellow time and this will help you gain more
green machine. Your biggest ideas come when you unplug, dream,
and recharge.
Lesson #20: He or she who has their health has a
thousand dreams…he or she who does not, has ONE. Protect your
health like your life depends on it — because it does.
This episode is personal, powerful, and packed with stories that’ll challenge and inspire you to grow from the inside out. Plus, I drop a MAJOR teaser — I’ve got one of the biggest announcements of my career coming up on our November 3 rd episode (#451), which will be the closing episode to this “The Next Chapter” series.
