Episode Details

I had a powerful thought while working out today   i was listening to a david goggins video   goggins is literally the toughest guy I’ve ever heard of   …retired navy seal…only member of US Armed forces to complete …Seal Training…US Army Ranger School…Air Force Tactical Controller Training …ultra marathons….best selling author…on and on and on…   I was listening to get a little more motivation and a kick in the butt… …been sleeping in a bit too much lately…benefits and downsides to being an entrepreneur :)   I’ve learned over the years we all have cycles of motivation in our life…ups and downs   times when you need motivation times when you need “something more”   we cycle through life our liv with different moods, circumstances, careers…   the key is to recognize exactly where you are right now and what you need...   cause there is a distinct different in types of fuel from PD and fuel from Motivation   so, where are you right now?  what do you need to get you moving right now?   let’s discuss this and clarify a couple things when it comes to fuel…   we ALL need different types of fuel at different stages of our life and biz…   and there is a difference between motivation, drive and purpose…but, we need all 3   but its also IMPORTANT to know the difference and when you need each type…   it’s sorta like a rocket…3 stages of fuel to create lift off -explain...initial, boost, cruising…   So lets start with Motivation... 1-Motivation- 1st type of fuel that usually will come from "Outside You" Goggins calls this the kindling…1 hour burn cause it doesnt last long but gets you started comes from outside you most of the time but all you need is a spark…music, video, coach, friend, external validation what motivates you the best? examples Now a word of CAUTION…stop trying change your entire life or business with motivation too many of us try to reinvent ourselves with constant motivation thats not the point of motivation…its to start the fire…its just to create a spark…   Thats why you sometimes hear thought leaders say motivation is CRAP its not sustainable….its short term…BUT it does serve a purpose …the purpose is to get you unstuck…to get you moving…to break your patterns…got it? but remember, it wont last and it will go away and leave you feeling empty and tired thats why you need to use that motivation (that Kindling) to fuel a much bigger log… …a log that is sustainable…a fuel that creates long term results... …which brings us to the topic of developing Your DRIVE...   2-Drive- 2nd type of fuel that usually comes from "Inside You" Goggins calls this the big log…10,000 hour burn this is the log you cannot start with or you would choke out the fire... this is the fuel that takes your motivation and turns it into obsession this is where you need to go from outside to inside yourself to find your “Drive” you need the spark to light the BIG log, but then you need to nurture ur Drive… …nurture and big a strong Desire and Commitment to Drive your life & biz forward. this is what will help you create more consistent energy each day this is what will help you keep your MIND in check on a constant basis this is what will keep you moving forward when your motivation goes away   to do this you need to create a vision bigger than your ability to feel comfortable this DRIVE and this OBSESSION needs to come from outside your comfort zone this is where your VISION and DREAMS come into play One of my mentors would say, When the Dream is Big Enough the Facts don't count. if you can visualize and manifest your life, this is where your DRIVE starts to take you places this is where your faith and endurance get tested, but where your biggest successes come ..this is where you start living the life you were truly meant to live...   so, get super clear on what you want your life to be like… what do you want your life to be like? what do you want your relationships, finances, health, fitness, nutrition, lifestyle to be like? get spec
