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?

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?
