I used to wonder if all this work would be worth it.
I used to wonder what would happen if I did all this work and still didn't make it.
Yes. I used to think like most people do when they think about doing "all this work" for a result that isn't guaranteed. And then "it" happened....and it clicked for me a few years ago the day I bought my first Lamborghini. It's not magical.
There is no "chance" and there sure as hell isn't a "success fairy" or "powers that be" that grant you ANYTHING. I remember thinking:
"I did all this work...and now I'm here and this is MY car?" "WTF? That's all it is?"
I was honestly kind of confused it was that simple...that's when I realized...I AM IN CONTROL...my goals ARE GUARANTEED if I'm willing to pay the price. And here I stand on the other side of all the "what ifs" and I'm here to tell you...YOU ARE IN CONTROL TOO!
Most people let the this single thought stop them: "What if I do ALL this work and sacrifice all this time and it doesn't work out?"...so they don't do anything and accept society's plan for them called AVERAGE...and justify their AVERAGE with comments like "it wasn't meant to be" or "They got lucky" while they sit on a barstool on Tuesday afternoon with their "real" friends talking about how they got screwed.
What very few come to realize is putting in "all that work" and not reaching your goals IS IMPOSSIBLE.
When you do that...SUCCESS IS GUARANTEED.

#75HARD: A Tactical Guide To Winning The War With Yourself
I've spent more than 25 years figuring out how to master mental toughness and I've put everything I've learned into a program called 75 HARD. In today's episode, I tell you what it's all about and how to 100x skills such as confidence, self-belief, discipline, grittiness & completely transform your life.
Mental toughness is a concept most people assume they know the meaning of ... but are almost always wrong.
They look at it as something that only certain people are “blessed” with.
They think of it as something that just isn’t possible for them … that they weren’t meant to be mentally tough.
As someone who once had these same beliefs … let me tell you something…
Mental toughness is absolutely obtainable...
Every single one of us has gone through and will go through tough times.
It’s an unavoidable fact of life.
When we find ourselves in these tough times, it can be extremely difficult to maintain a positive outlook and attitude.
If you’re struggling right now, I want you...
"I'll never be successful because of [insert excuse]."
How many times have you heard this before?
If I had to guess ... more times than you'd like to admit.
Be honest...
