How To Overcome Mental Blocks That Limit Your True Potential

I don’t have many regrets, but if I could go back and change something…

It would be back when I sold Spheric Technologies in 2008…

Right after the exit, I took my foot off the gas.

I had no schedule. I slept in until like 10:30.

I just wanted to relax and veg…

I thought that’s what you’re supposed to do after you’ve had a big win.

But I underestimated the value of momentum. When my success habits took a back seat, it took me 2 years to get back into the groove.

And here’s why I bring it up.

As founders, keeping momentum can feel like climbing a mountain.

As soon as you reach a milestone in your business…

Or you make the next key hire

Or you get a life changing paycheck…

Almost overnight, complacency kicks you in the gut.

And putting your gear back on and ascending to the next peak can feel like the last thing on earth you want to be doing.

That’s why I recorded today’s video for you.

I want to show you how to keep your foot on the gas no matter what stage of business you’re in.

And how you can design your life so that you can sustain peak performance for the rest of your life.

Check it out.

In the video I want to talk about:

  1. How to change your visible reality through your invisible identity.
  2. The right way to build momentum that propels you forward.
  3. The value of stacking your wins and auditing your beliefs.
  4. The “Be, Do, Have” formula.
  5. “Changing the roots to change the fruits.”
  6. And how to get out of a negative habit loop through identity auditing.

We think our decisions guide our life…

But here’s the truth:

It’s not our decisions that determine our reality, it’s our identity that determines our reality.

It took me years to realize this.

Watch the video to see how deep the rabbit hole really goes.
