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

Years ago, during a Toastmasters meeting, I heard someone boldly claim that freedom is free. This statement stuck with me, and over the years, I've realized just how misguided it is. Many people live under the illusion that freedom is a given, never questioning the unseen struggles that secure it. Today, I'll clear up this misconception and shed light on the true price of the freedom you enjoy. Show Notes: [03:47]#1 The trade-off of freedom is safety and security.  [15:10]#2 Whatever freedom you do have that you did not directly pay for, understand that it is being paid for, just not by you. [23:23]#3 If you want to have more freedom, more autonomy, and more leverage to move about the world any way that you wish, understand you must give up some of your safety and security in order to get it.  [27:54]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2708: Freedom & Security Are Opposites 2174: There Are No Perfect Scenarios – Only Trade-Offs 2733: Living In "The Void" — 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!

Today’s class is about why people conform. Conform means to comply with rules, standards, or laws. Compliance isn't always bad. We follow laws to avoid jail, and high performers set their own standards. Without compliance, there'd be chaos—imagine ignoring traffic lights or building codes. But many people conform unnecessarily, limiting their potential and opportunities. Today, I'll explain these unnecessary ways of complying, why they happen, and what you can do about it. Show Notes: [04:27]#1 It's easy to follow the crowd. [09:45]#2 Going against the grain is emotionally painful, and you will be attacked for it.   [21:02]#3 If it were easy to not conform, it wouldn't be what it is.

I’ve talked to many entrepreneurs and salespeople who struggle with knowing how often to follow up with prospects. Should you keep reaching out or give up? Today’s class is the mindset you need. When you approach a prospect, one of four things will happen: they buy, they clearly say no, their business closes, or they’re not available to buy. I’ll share how to handle each of these outcomes so you can navigate your sales interactions with confidence and clarity. Show Notes: [05:28]#1 They buy.  [09:36]#2 Give you a clear no.  [18:43]#3 We die.

In this class we’ll talk about  why having something to prove is one of the most powerful motivators. While there are moments when you don't need to prove anything to anyone, the urgency and drive to prove yourself can push you to unparalleled levels of performance. From legendary stories like Lee Iacocca revitalizing Chrysler after being fired from Ford to Michael Jordan manufacturing rivalries to maintain his competitive edge, having a point to prove has led to extraordinary achievements. Even high-profile figures like Donald Trump and Ted Williams have used this energy to fuel their success, showing that the drive to prove oneself can lead to significant accomplishments and personal growth. Listen now and discover how you can use the need to prove yourself as a catalyst for reaching new heights in your game. Show Notes: [04:11]#1 Having something to prove is a great motivator and is an impetus to urgent and determined action.  [12:23]#2 Having nothing to prove leads to complacency and non urgent behavior.  [19:35]#3 Proving yourself is a challenge.  [23:24] 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!

I believe in the power of persistence. Overnight success stories are rare; consistent effort is the key. I've seen countless individuals build empires brick by brick. It's about showing up daily, learning, and adapting. Remember, your journey is unique. Don't compare yourself to others. Focus on your path, and enjoy the process. Show Notes: [04:55]#1 life is short and long at the same time.  [11:21]#2 Because of the deluge of material, content, ideas and sheer people out there these days, and there are a lot of us, the world's population is growing very quickly, it is hard to get noticed!

I've been there, let doubt or pride dictate my moves.  Not anymore. These internal battles are real, but they don't have to win. Want to know how I'm overcoming them? Tune in to my podcast. Show Notes: [03:19]#1 Remember that emotions are great gas pedals, but terrible steering wheels. [09:09]#2 Ego often gets in a way when you need to stop doing something that you are used to doing or that you're good at, or you need to just put your pride to the side and admit that something you've been doing is just not working.
