Work On Your Game: Dominate With Mindset, Strategy & Execution

In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to claim your position. A couple of months ago, I did an episode on how to make yourself qualified (Episode 3121), and today, I’m building on that idea. I’m going to show you that claiming your position is the most important part of actually having it, and why you don’t need to rely on other people’s opinions of what qualifies you. Forget about climbing ladders or waiting for approval—let’s talk about how you can step into where you want to be, starting today. Show Notes: [04:00]#1 You are who you say you are.  [11:05]#2 People judge books by covers, so you better make sure your cover is professionally designed. [20:46]#3 Do the work to catch up to your claim.

In this class, I’m talking about “The Middle-Class Curse” and why being in the middle class is the worst spot to be in mentally and energetically. A month ago, I did a four-part series (starting with episode 3143) about why the middle class is disappearing, focusing on the tangible and financial side. Today, I’m breaking down the mindset side—how being in the middle class affects your thoughts, actions, and results. Listen in, and I’ll explain why this position holds so many people back. Show Notes: [03:37]#1 At the lower class, you have to go help the family or help yourself because your situation is only going to get more fucked up if you do nothing.  [12:51]#2 If you're rich or wealthy, you're in the upper class, you have a duty to keep the dynasty going by your last name.  [21:39]#3 The middle class have it the worst because you have no internal ingrained drive to do anything different.  [28:57]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3143: There Will Be No "Middle Class" [Part 1 of 4] 3144: There Will Be No "Middle Class" [Part 2 of 4] 3145: There Will Be No "Middle Class" [Part 3 of 4] 3146: There Will Be No "Middle Class" [Part 4 of 4] Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://drinkAG1.com/WORKONYOURGAME  Get Dre’s Emails FREE:  Http://WorkOnMyGame.com  Free Audiobooks:  The Third Day: http://www.ThirdDayBook.com/audible The Mirror Of Motivation: http://www.MirrorOfMotivation.com/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!

In today’s class, I’m talking about how to spot opportunities. First, I’ll explain what opportunity really is: a set of circumstances that make it possible to do something. We all want new opportunities—whether it’s for business, meeting the right people, or reaching our goals. The thing is, opportunities might already be right in front of you, but you might not notice them. I’ll help you figure out how to spot these chances and take action! Show Notes: [03:12]#1 Look for it. [08:12]#2 Ask the right questions.  [16:04]#3 Beg, borrow and steal.  [23:04]Recap Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://drinkAG1.com/WORKONYOURGAME  Get Dre’s Emails FREE:  Http://WorkOnMyGame.com  Free Audiobooks:  The Third Day: http://www.ThirdDayBook.com/audible The Mirror Of Motivation: http://www.MirrorOfMotivation.com/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!

In today’s episode, I’m talking about external enemies vs. internal enemies. We all know about external enemies—those outside problems we have to face. But what happens when the people close to you become a surprise threat? I’ll explain how you can get caught off guard by your own team if you’re not paying attention. The key is staying aware and making sure no one is planning to hurt you.  Listen in to learn how to protect yourself from these sneak attacks! Show Notes: [04:32]#1 Internal enemy for every single person on the planet is your mindset.  [12:41]#2 Friends and family are forms of internal enemies. [18:58]#3 When it comes to your internal enemies are your business and professional associates [22:04]Recap Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://drinkAG1.com/WORKONYOURGAME  Get Dre’s Emails FREE:  Http://WorkOnMyGame.com  Free Audiobooks:  The Third Day: http://www.ThirdDayBook.com/audible The Mirror Of Motivation: http://www.MirrorOfMotivation.com/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!

In today’s class, I’m talking about how to be a more well-rounded person. We’ve all heard the term before, but what does it really mean? I’ll break down what being well-rounded looks, sounds, and feels like, and why it’s important—no matter how focused you are in your area of expertise. I think we all want to be well-rounded, so let’s dive in and see how this can actually help you. Show Notes: [02:41]#1 Gather a plethora of experiences from different aspects and angles of life. [10:29]#2 Meet, engage with, and get to know a lot of different people who have experiences in different areas.  [17:02]#3 Read, listen to and watch material on many unique and divergent subjects.

In this episode, I’m talking about the phrase “Are we more divided than ever?” You hear it a lot in politics and the media, especially since Donald Trump got involved. But is it actually true, or is it just something people say? I break it down, explain why this phrase gets used, and figure out what it really means. Let’s get into it! Show Notes: [02:51]#1 We no longer have a small handful of sources of information, facts, points of view, as we used to. [09:52]#2 In many ways, our beliefs and ideas have become more diverse, not divided. [19:21]#3 This division term is also used to describe any perspective or belief that people have that goes against the grain of what the speaker wants people to believe.  [22:49]Recap Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://drinkAG1.com/WORKONYOURGAME  Get Dre’s Emails FREE:  Http://WorkOnMyGame.com  Free Audiobooks:  The Third Day: http://www.ThirdDayBook.com/audible The Mirror Of Motivation: http://www.MirrorOfMotivation.com/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!

This is the final part of my street smarts series: the what, why, and how. Today, I talked about three key skills. First, conflict resolution—calming situations by reading people, building relationships, and using good judgment. Second, having a hustler mentality—finding or creating opportunities where others see nothing. And third, operating in chaos—staying flexible when things don’t go as planned and even using chaos to your advantage. Thanks for sticking with me through this series!

We’re on part three of my street smarts series: the what, why, and how. Today, I’m talking about three big skills. First, recognizing opportunities—they’re always around, but you have to take action to grab them. Second, independence—handling things on your own makes you stronger and even draws more support your way. And third, instincts—listening to your gut by shutting out distractions and finding what helps you connect with yourself, like working out, meditating, or just taking a quiet walk. Don’t miss tomorrow’s episode—the final part of this series! Show Notes: [02:14]#7 Recognizing opportunity.  [09:12]#8 Independence. [16:11]#9 Instincts.

This is part two of my four-part series on street smarts—what, why, and how. In this episode, I talk about three important skills: reading people (understanding who they really are, not just how they want to be seen), building relationships (knowing people from all areas of life so you always have someone to call when you need help), and resilience (staying strong and learning to push through challenges). Come back tomorrow for part three, where we’ll go even deeper into building your street smarts. Show Notes: [02:22]#4 Reading people. [09:36]#5 Building relationships. [18:24]#6 Resilience.

In this masterclass, I’m talking about street smarts—a topic I’ve never covered before, thanks to a suggestion from someone who caught one of my live streams. Street smarts are all about using common sense, being aware of your surroundings, and handling real-world situations in a smart way. This is part one of a four-part series, where I’ll share 12 skills to help you build and sharpen your street smarts. Show Notes: [03:54]#1 Situational awareness. [10:18]#2 Resourcefulness.
