Revisit: The Truth Behind Why You've Never Launched That Big Idea
Episode #662 Why do some men never launch their big ideas? What keeps a man from acting on them? We have our sense of identity...of who we are. A lot of times, we create a fantasy of this big idea, and we start to live in this fantasy world. The scary part is what we fear will happen to our identity if we launch that idea and it fails. Does that make you a failure? The more grounded you are as a Powerful Man, the easier it is to go after the fantasy. When you're grounded, that fantasy gets attracted to you. When you're an Activated Man, all the territories are attracted to you. Self-worth and self-image are tied tightly together. If your self-worth is high, then your sense of identity is solid - you aren't going to worry so much about how people think of you and how you think of yourself. In this episode, we're going to talk about the real reason why men never launched their big ideas, the importance of self-worth and self-image, and the things you need to focus on when your situation is at its worst. __________ Hungry for more?

Revisit: When Was The Last Time You Did Something For Yourself?
Episode #660 When was the last time you looked at the stars or walked in the park? When is the last time you did something for yourself? Guys often feel guilty when they take the time to fill their cups. They don't acknowledge the fact that letting themselves become empty makes them weak, and that's why they don't see the need for it. It would help if you first honored the truth that you're weak and empty, and then do something about it. Fill your cup. Find opportunities to improve yourself, start simple. Go out and have some fun. Make an effort for the most important person in your life...yourself. If you do this often, everything from money to relationships becomes easier. Most importantly, you can bring your best self to every interaction you have. In this episode, let's reflect on ourselves. If you haven't done something for yourself in a few months, or years already, NOW is the time to give yourself a reward. __________ Hungry for more?

Revisit: How To Be A Magnetic Leader At Home And In The Office
Episode #569 What makes a great leader in business AND at home? A great leader is a person that is always in the front drawing their team to where they are going to and inspiring others through their action and their communication. The first step to becoming a great leader is to take inventory of yourself. The best way to do this is to have smart people around you give you honest feedback. You need to understand where you are succeeding and where you are failing both as an individual and a leader. Once you have that feedback, you then get to take massive action and be the inspired leader that you know you can be. You get to take care of yourself and put yourself first. When you are sacrificing yourself for others, that will put a lot of pressure on your life. The secret to being a great leader is to be a great self-leader first. __________ Hungry for more?
