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

In part two of this series on why college is a scam, I break down a few more key issues. First, not all degrees are equal, and simply having one doesn’t always put you in a better position. Then, I talk about credential inflation—how companies started requiring more advanced degrees while colleges and banks profited by charging more and giving out more loans. Finally, I discuss how degrees used to mean a lot, but that’s not the case anymore, even though many people still hold onto outdated beliefs. It’s important to understand where others' beliefs come from to avoid being misled. Show Notes: [02:39]#4 People have bad ideas of what a degree means because they are not all created equal.  [20:07]#5 The credential inflation. [28:52]#6 Degrees meant a lot between 1970 and 2000, but that’s not the case anymore.

In part three of this series on why college is a scam, I focus on three key points. First, college courses often teach theory but lack practical skills—you don’t truly know something until you’ve done it and can teach it. Second, the money you’re borrowing is funding those beautiful campuses, not necessarily your education. Finally, some careers like medicine, law, or engineering need a degree, but for many others, relationships and real-world experience matter more than grades. Think carefully about what you need before committing to college. Show Notes: [02:10]#7 College courses teach theory and information, not practical skills.  [16:44]#8 The high cost of tuition pays for campus amenities and staff salaries. [24:58]#9 Some careers need degrees, but many don’t.

In this class, I talk about why I believe college is a scam. I’ve been saying for a while that the whole education system in the U.S. is messed up. The government and colleges teamed up with good intentions, but now people are stuck with student debt they can’t pay off. I also talk about the book The Debt Trap by Josh Mitchell, which goes into how the system got so bad. Even if you're not dealing with student loans, understanding this can help you make smarter choices. Show Notes: [07:11]#1 I went to college and I would go back.  [16:33]#2 How did college get pushed on us?  [27:20]#3 Increased costs that are not balanced out by wages.  [33:18]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 199: The SCAM that is The American Education System 1578: How I Would Do My College Years Differently 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 this class, I talk about how losing is hard, but winning is easy. I share a story from a Saturday morning when I went for a run in strong winds. The first half of my run was tough because I was running against the wind, but the second half was easier with the wind at my back. I learned that the resistance from the wind slowed me down more than the tailwind could help me speed up. It’s a reminder that the hard part comes first, but it makes the easy part feel that much better. Show Notes: [05:16]#1 Losing and winning are different sides of the same coin of the law of inertia.  [13:59]#2 When you are losing, the hard part is recruiting and building up the energy and motivation to move yourself to action and keep trying even though you're not yet getting the results.   [20:28]#3 When you are winning, it's easy to keep taking action and be motivated because everything's already working.

In part two of this series on how you betray yourself, we talk about laziness, motivation, and self-doubt. Laziness is when you don't put enough energy into what you know, even though energy is 85% of the work. Motivation doesn’t always have to be positive; it’s just what gets you to move. And when it comes to self-doubt, the key is discipline. The more disciplined you are, the more confident you'll become. Once you’ve done something before, you know you can do it again, so there’s no need to doubt yourself. Show Notes: [02:31]#4 Laziness. [07:16]#5 Lacking motivation. [14:47]#6  Self-doubt.

Today’s class is part one of a two-part series on how you betray yourself. This is all about the ways you’re hurting your own progress without even realizing it. I’m going to break down the thoughts, habits, and actions that are holding you back.

This is part four of our series, Why There Will Be No Middle Class. Here’s the deal: the government can’t help you, and if your skills and value don’t grow faster than costs, you’re going to fall behind. We’re headed toward a barbell society—most people will be rich or poor, and the middle class won’t exist. If you want to take control of your money and your life, it’s time to make some changes.  Show Notes: [03:16]#10 The government is not here to help you.  [10:37]#11 If your skills and value do not increase faster than cost rise, you're going to lose.

This is part three of our series on why the middle class is disappearing. Today, we’re talking about three big issues: income inequality, the gig economy, and rising debt. The gap between the 1% and everyone else is bigger than ever. Gig work means less stable income, and more people are stuck in debt because their income isn’t keeping up. If you’re feeling stuck, the focus shouldn’t just be on paying off debt—it’s about earning more. I’ll show you how to build your income, even if you’re starting from scratch. Let’s get to work! Show Notes: [02:04]#7 Income inequality.  [13:56]#8 Gig economy. [19:13]#9 More debt with less income.

This is part two of the series on why there will be no middle class. Today, we’re talking about three big shifts: automation and outsourcing are taking jobs from people in the U.S. by using cheaper labor overseas, education and health care are getting cheaper because of technology, and while it’s cheaper to build houses, that doesn’t mean they’ll sell for less—prices depend on what sellers can get.  Tune in to see how these changes will affect your future and what you can do about it.

Today’s topic is simple: there will be no middle class. This is the first part of a four-part series where I’ll explain why the middle class is going away and what that means for you. In the future, you’ll either move up to the upper class or drop down to the lower class—there won’t be an in-between. If you’re in the middle class now, you need to start planning.  Let’s break it all down so you can understand what’s coming and what to do about it. Show Notes: [07:29]#1 The US government's $35 trillion in debt. They cannot give you money because they don't have any. [13:36]#2 Every time they put more money in circulation, the value of your dollar goes down. [26:12]#3 If you are not getting raises as quickly as your costs are going up, you are sinking and you're about to be underwater.
