Do you feel stuck?

Do you feel like you're far behind everybody else?

Do you feel like you're wasting your life?

Do you feel like you're just floating through life until your final day comes?

If you can honestly say yes to any of these questions...

1. You should be proud of the fact that you're capable of looking at yourself in the mirror and telling yourself the truth about your current situation.

Most people are so blinded by their ego that they're unwilling to have these difficult conversations with themselves.

Others have such little self-awareness that they blame everyone and everything outside of themselves for the life they have.

2. It's time for a change, and I'll show you how to make that change.

If you want to know how to get your life together...

It's actually quite simple.

You just have to look in the mirror.

The solution will be looking right back at you.

But, what are the actions you can start taking today to build the momentum you need to get your life together?

If you take my recommendations seriously and implement them immediately...

Your life will change faster than you think.

How To Get Your Life Together: The Process

It's not too late.

The life you are living now is a reflection of the actions you've taken in the past ... Not the actions you're taking in the present.

That literally means that whatever you do today is shaping the life you will have down the road.

If you want to change the output...

You have to change the input.

Getting your life together is about investing your time, effort, and energy into the actions that will actually produce a better life.

That's where you should start.

1. Quit Making Excuses and Start Taking Ownership

Nobody else and nothing else is responsible for the life you have.

It's you.

You can make every excuse you want...

Bad upbringing.

Unlucky.

Bad genetics.

Untalented.

No support.

 

...but that's all they are ... excuses.

Learn to take ownership.

Learn to look in the mirror.

It's you and your daily actions that are responsible for the life you have right now.

That's not something you should be upset about.

It's something you should be excited about because if you are responsible for the life you have ... You’re also capable of changing it.

That's a powerful realization because that means you are in control of where you ultimately end up.

If you’re wondering how to get your life together

It starts here.

Take ownership … Then make the commitment to exercising this control moving forward.

2. Focus On The Factors In Your Control 

You are in control of the most important factors that influence the outcome of your life.

You control what you eat.

You control what you drink.

You control how much you move your body.

You control how much time you spend learning.

You control what information you put in your brain.

You control who you choose to surround yourself with.

You control your attitude.

You control your effort.

You control your execution.

...and when you learn to accept responsibility for yourself and your life...

You'll come to realize just how many of these factors you've refused to exercise control over.

Start exercising that control now and watch your life change.

3. Prioritize Your Personal Development & Commit to The Pursuit of Your Potential

The world runs on results.

Which means if you want to get your life together and start winning...

You have to produce results.

Undeniable results.

That’s why you must develop yourself and your skill set.

You can't get your life together if you lack the skills and mindset required.

Spend time every single day working on developing them both.

How?

Through the books you read.

The content you consume.

The reps you take.

The hardship you embrace.

I've spent the past 25+ years of my life committed to reading 10 pages every day.

In that time I've read hundreds of books that have helped form my mindset...

Skill set...

Perspective...

...and have saved me years of spinning my wheels and screwing up due to the lessons and experiences I've been able to extract from reading.

How much better equipped would you be to create the life you dream about with the lessons and experiences of hundreds of people who are living the life you want to live?

The difference would be significant.

That's the truth.

Thinking you are going to be capable of high levels of success without a commitment to becoming the best version of yourself is arrogant. Extremely arrogant.

It's no different than saying you're going to become the greatest basketball player of all time without practicing.

Start pursuing your potential and commit to the daily actions required to develop yourself.

The investment in yourself is the most important one you'll ever make.

It will also have the greatest return of any investment you'll ever make.

...and if you want to get your life together...

This is a prerequisite.

4. Don't Quit. Ever.

When you first get started on the path to getting your life together and pursuing your potential...

The excitement will be enough to carry you.

But what happens when a week goes by?

What happens when a month goes by?

What happens when a year goes by?

What happens when the initial excitement dies off and your daily tasks become monotonous?

What happens when things start to get hard?

What happens when you no longer feel like doing the work required?

The reason why most people never gain any real momentum is because they trap themselves in a constant cycle of quitting.

They'll start something new...

Stick with it for a couple of years...

...and then as soon as things begin to get difficult...

They quit and move on to the next thing.

You must understand that hardship is a part of the journey.

If you quit every single time things start to get mundane or difficult...

You will never gain the traction necessary to create real success.

Don't quit.

Don't quit ever.

Embrace the hardship when it comes.

Learn to master the mundane tasks and keep showing up long past the time you feel like quitting.

We all feel like quitting at times.

That's normal.

In the first 10 years of my business ... I felt like quitting every single day.

But if you actually want to get your life together...

You have to remove quitting from the table.

5. Build Your Mental Toughness

It will take time for your actions to produce the results you're after.

That's just the truth.

When it comes to getting your life together...

...and when it comes to achieving anything of real significance...

This will always be the case.

Time is a necessary component of success.

Don't expect things to change for you overnight.

If there's anything you can do to start gaining serious momentum right off the bat...

I recommend you get intentional about developing and strengthening your mental toughness.

Mental toughness is a skill, and it's the single most important skill you need to get your life together and dominate.

It serves as the foundation upon which every other skill is built.

These are skills like confidence.

Self-belief.

Self-worth.

Self-esteem.

Grit.

Fortitude.

All of which will be required of you to get your life together.

Mental toughness is all about owning the conversation in your mind and keeping the promises you make to yourself.

It's showing up to execute at a high level even when it's the last thing you want to do.

What would your life look like if every single time you didn't feel like doing the work required...

You buckled down and executed these tasks regardless?

This is the power of mental toughness.

How To Get Your Life Together: Start Now

There is nothing easy about freeing yourself from the habits...

The mindset...

....and the relationships that are keeping you stuck in life.

But as someone who has lived both lives:

One as the person who made excuses for everything and quit...

...and one as the person who relentlessly pursues their goals and potential...

I promise you...

I will continue to pick the latter 1000 times out of 1000.

Your journey starts now.

If you're looking for the best way to get started...

I created a 100% free mental toughness program called 75 HARD that will help you take complete control of your life in just 75 days.

You can learn more and get started with the 75 HARD Program here.

I also wrote a book, The Book on Mental Toughness, which will show you the importance of mental toughness...
