“You’re Closer Than You Think”

What if the reason you haven’t hit that next level yet… is because you're treating your goals like a hobby instead of a profession?

In this episode, I’m sharing two of the most impactful success principles that separate the elite from everybody else: repetitions and deadlines. I’ve spent 30 years working with some of the best athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs on the planet—and I’m telling you, these two fundamentals are the quiet edge they all rely on. Whether it’s Steph Curry taking 500 shots a day, Adele putting in over 2,400 hours of rehearsal before her Vegas residency, or Tiger Woods grinding on the range for 10 hours a day—greatness isn't random. It’s repetitive. It’s intentional. And it’s scheduled.

Most people don’t have a “talent” problem—they have a rep problem. And they’ve trained their brain to tolerate procrastination because they never assign a deadline to what matters. In this episode, I break down how high performers lock in success before anyone’s watching—when it’s quiet, when it’s boring, and when no one’s clapping.

Your standard isn’t how good you are on your best day. It’s how consistent you are when you're tired, stressed, or distracted. You don’t separate yourself during the performance—you do it in the preparation. This episode will challenge you to raise the bar on your reps, sharpen your focus with deadlines, and finally own your craft like the pro you were born to be.
