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

Today's topic is gratuity, and we're jumping straight into it. No ads, just the material. First, let’s define gratuity: it's money given for services rendered. The word 'gratuitous' means something done for free, without charge. Now, let me tell you why we're talking about this. Something happened that led me to address this topic. Show Notes: [08:27]#1 It’s not the customer's responsibility to supplement the wages of a tip reliant service worker.  [19:51]#2 If you can make money off tips, or if you want to make money off tips, work at a job in which you can differentiate yourself.  [27:34]#3 Position yourself to where getting what you want is the standard and the baseline rather than a hope for or expected handout.  [34:24]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2557: Stay Close To The Money 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, we dive into the three universal challenges that affect everyone, no matter their background. After talking to a variety of people from all walks of life—athletes, entrepreneurs, students, and more—one thing stands out: indecision is holding people back. Too many people take too long to make decisions, and by the time they do, the opportunity is gone. The second challenge is being slow to act. Even when we make decisions, we often hesitate to take the first step. This is something everyone deals with, but the key is to act quickly and keep pushing forward.  Listen in to learn how to overcome these common struggles and start making real progress in your life. Show Notes: [03:33]#1 Indecision. [11:05]#2 Slow to action. [19:15]#3 A lack of urgency and no execution.  [23:56]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!

Handling disappointment is impossible to avoid, especially when you’ve set big goals, but how you deal with it can make all the difference. In this class, we’re diving into how to handle disappointment. First, you can change the energy of disappointment into something useful, like turning it into focus or anger to fuel your next move. Second, you need to get to the root cause of your disappointment—dig deep and understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. Finally, focus on the process, not just the outcome.  Disappointment can make you stronger, so take what you’ve learned and use it for the next opportunity. Show Notes: [03:18]#1 Skill of transmutation. [08:32]#2 Get to the root of disappointment.

In this masterclass, I dive into some of the most common logical fallacies you'll come across. We start with the "false equivocation," where people try to make two things that aren't equal seem the same to prove their point. I give an example from my own experience in professional sports and explain how this fallacy can distract from the real issue. I also talk about the "appeal to emotion," where someone tries to make you feel guilty or emotional to avoid having a logical discussion. It’s often used to manipulate your response, and it’s something you need to watch out for. Listen in to learn how to spot these fallacies and avoid being manipulated in conversations!

Do you find yourself easily swayed in conversations or debates? In this masterclass, we dive into the "red herring" fallacy, a clever distraction that shifts focus away from the main issue. We also explore real-life examples of the red herring fallacy, including a personal story from a Twitter debate, showing how some individuals attempt to steer the conversation to areas where they feel more comfortable.  Tune in to this episode and learn how to identify and deal with these fallacies. Show Notes: [06:52]#7 The red herring. [11:16]#8 Bandwagon fallacy.  [19:56]#9 The appeal to ignorance fallacy.

If you missed the intro to logical fallacies, go back to the previous episode where I break down what they are and why they matter. In this masterclass, we continue exploring common logical fallacies, focusing on "false binary" and "slippery slope" thinking. Recognizing these fallacies helps us make clearer decisions without getting swayed. Show Notes: [02:21]#4 False binary. [09:38]#5 Slippery slope fallacy. [14:27]#6 Hasty generalization.

We’re talking about logical fallacies—arguments that sound good but don’t hold up. Social media is full of them because emotions can get in the way of clear thinking. I’ll explain the common fallacies people use, why they use them (sometimes without even knowing), and how they show up in arguments and debates. This is part one of a four-part series where you’ll learn to spot these fallacies and how to call them out. Show Notes: [05:23]#1 Ad hominem logical fallacy. [13:17]#2 Straw man fallacy.

Winners don't wait for success to come to them—they go after it. In this masterclass, we continue how winners take initiative and create their own opportunities. They don’t sit back and wait for things to happen; they stay on the hunt, always looking for ways to continue their success. Winners also seek out feedback from trusted sources, always striving to improve. Lastly, we explore the mindset that a team’s success is the winner’s success. If the team isn’t winning, then the winner isn’t either. Tune in to learn more about how winners think and act. Show Notes: [02:14]#13 Winners take initiative and don't wait for opportunities.

What does it mean to celebrate progress as a winner? Often overlooked, celebrating small wins keeps us motivated and attracts even more success. Acknowledging achievements, even while focusing on the next goal, fuels us with positive energy and confidence. Just as athletes celebrate a victory before jumping back into training, true winners know the importance of this balance. Without it, progress can fade.  We also touch on how focusing on the fundamentals lays the foundation for long-term success. Tune in as we unpack how these mindsets fuel winning strategies and lasting growth. Show Notes: [02:40]#16 Winners recognize the value of acknowledging current success. [11:34]#17 Winners master the basics and fundamentals of their game.  [17:56]#18 Winners keep winners and other success minded people around them.  [21:05]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!

Winners take unwanted circumstances and use them to their advantage, turning negative situations into positive outcomes.  Let’s continue discussing  "How Winners Think,"focusing on how setbacks can become opportunities for success. I’ll share examples from athletes, business leaders, and even politicians who bounced back from failure and achieved great things. The key idea is that while we can’t always control what happens, we can control how we handle it, using every challenge as a springboard for future wins. Show Notes: [02:28]#10 Winners use unwanted circumstances as springboards for future success. [11:04]#11 Winners control their process of execution, not just outcomes.
