What do athletes have that entrepreneurs and anyone looking to reach max potential can learn from? It’s their work ethic. Hardcore, unrelenting, straight up grind-this-sh*t-out work ethic that shows up and does the work Every. Single. Day. Recent numbers report approximately 8% of the American population are millionaires. What’s stopping the masses from achieving wealth and success on their own terms? You could say politics, social issues and a lot of other things, but the reality is those reasons are not stopping everyone. Jim Rohn said, “Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don’t wish it were easier; wish you were better.”In this episode, these high level athletes share tips to help you develop a champion mindset. We know how important the work is to do, but consistency is key, and the process includes doing the right things everyday no matter what. Nastia Liukin Episode: https://youtu.be/OlOPYiaYdngJames Lawrence’s Episode: https://youtu.be/kgewSQnWtIoMichael Strahan Episode: https://youtu.be/AQZGcD0Ql1sAnthony Trucks Episode: https://youtu.be/pjLl8QrDspUDotsie Bausch Episode: https://youtu.be/bX13wG2b-HgRickson Gracie Episode: https://youtu.be/JrURuyL3qscDevon Harris Episode: https://youtu.be/w4GPbhNEaekJay Williams Episode: https://youtu.be/lbFQ_GCdwgkLori Harder Episode: https://youtu.be/1dg0lZcVj3A SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction Champion Mindset1:23 | Champions Dream Big6:54 | Champions Know People15:41 | Champions Do Hard Things20:49 | Champions Push Thru Discomfort27:50 | Ordinary with Extraordinary Dreams33:02 | Out Work Everyone38:05 | Champions Help Others41:32 | Tap Into Your Dark Side45:12 | Body, Mind & Spirit Check out our sponsors: Indeed: Get a FREE $75 CREDIT to upgrade your job post at indeed.com/IMPACTTo learn more about NFTs, watch Tom’s NFT Roundtable here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFnNNSvq_YE&list=PL8qcvQ7Byc3NNRJ1qc6DIEeeDJoKBVn7zGinger: ginger.com/impactLMNT: Go to drinkLMNT.com/Impact to try their brand NEW flavor - Watermelon Salt.Skillshare: Explore your creativity at skillshare.com/impacttheory for a 1 month FREE trial of Premium Membership.HigherDOSE: Go to HigherDOSE.com/impact to save $75 on the Infrared Sauna Blanket or Infrared PEMF Mat.Backcountry: Go to Backcountry.com/theory and enter promo code THEORY to get 15% OFF your first full-priced purchase.Athletic Greens: Go to athleticgreens.com/impact and receive a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase!Are You Ready for EXTRA Impact?If you’re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.Want to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?

When you sit back allow yourself to really dream, often the dream you have is beautiful but it’s also big, a little scary, and intimidating. Big dreams and big goals feel nearly impossible. It’s hard to fathom how you’re supposed to get from where you are in this moment to this far away goal that’s hard to conceptualize. James “Iron Cowboy” Lawrence completed 50 consecutive Iron-Distance Triathlons covering 7,030 miles with 0.24% of those miles completed indoors due to inclement weather. He joins Tom and breaks down the backlash he got for doing less than 17 miles indoors, and reveals the real mental fortitude and personal challenges he faced that lead him to deciding on completing 100 consecutive Iron-Distance Triathlons this time, plus one. James talks about what it really means to do hard things, and how the secret of achieving your goals is in the journey, the failures, and the lessons that prepare you for the actual goal. He’s opening up about what his post-recovery has become and the challenges he’s overcoming for that as well. Order the Iron Cowboy’s book, Redefining Impossible: https://amzn.to/3k4XhFQ Check out James’ 1st Interview with Tom, Push Past Pain: https://youtu.be/cgU7abzvSQk SHOW NOTES: 1:02 | Why Do the Hard Things 7:10 | 100% Physical & 100% Mental 13:56 | Goals Change Perspective 20:08 | Confront Your Weakness 24:59 | 101 Iron-Distance Triathlons 42:10 | Set Your Own Standards 52:57 | Why Do 1 More Than 100 58:37 | Post-Recovery Stage Follow James Lawrence: Website: https://www.ironcowboy.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/IronCowboyJames Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IronCowboy/Check out our sponsors: Athletic Greens: Go to athleticgreens.com/impact and receive a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase!
