Again and again, we are having these reminders of lessons that are imperative to our success.One of the first reminders we had was from a podcast with Lewis Howes and Rob Dyrdek. Rob does a great job of living his life to the fullest while also achieving incredible things and reaching massive success. He talked about living a life without compromise and following where your energy leads you.Another lesson is the power of manifestation – but not in the way you might expect. Truly taking the time to embody and visualize the feeling of what you want. Whether you’re inclined to more logical or mystical thinking, this still works. Logically, picturing and feeling what you want is going to wire your brain to take conscious and subconscious actions that bring you the results. Or you may believe that the power of asking the universe is actually bringing you closer to your goals. Either way, this is a powerful tool.And lastly, we were reminded of the power of rituals and boundaries. Setting clear boundaries and expectations of how long you are going to work, how long you’re going to spend with your family, who you’re going to spend time with, what you’re going to track, and more. You need to exercise your boundaries in order to live a life within the container you want.There are so many things you can learn from plugging in and listening to things that inspire and motivate you. You are more powerful than you realize, it just takes finding something to spark that memory and then taking the action to prove it.

Anthony Trucks is going to help you learn how to shift your mindset permanently. He has the power to make shift happen. Through the many traumatic events he’s had to overcome in his life, he’s mastered the art of making internal shifts to change his external circumstances. He’s going to share the tools you can use to make lasting change possible in your life. Question Highlights: How did your time in foster care shape your identity? How did you start switching your story? What did you do while you were building up proof? What do you beat yourself up over and how do you get over it? How do you incorporate your family into your life goals? What can people do to start noticing shifts in their lives?  Guest Bio:Anthony Trucks is a foster kid turned NFL athlete and serial entrepreneur with one serious super power: making shift happen, no matter what, by accessing the power of identity. After overcoming over 30 traumatic life events, and navigating the identity shifts that followed, Anthony has come to be known as the leading expert in “shifting” – which is making a shift internally to elevate how you operate externally. Doing so changes your life. With his unique system, “The Shift Method,” Anthony weaves together neuroscience, psychology, technology, and hard-fought life lessons to help anyone with a desire for more in life achieve any goal they want (or have ever wanted). Buckle up because it’s time to make shift happen.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Setting up 2022 for success Prioritizing the little things Find your core values and work backwards Finding the financial sweet spot Getting eyes on your business  Resources: litepink.com/drink Text “FAST” to 310-421-0416 to get access to our early access VIP list for our Fast Foundations mastermind Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!  Show Notes:2022 seems like it’s just around the corner. You’ve still got some time to prepare, but if you’re not thinking about it, it’ll be here before you know it. This is the sweet spot where you can make sure that you have everything lined up to make 2022 the best year of your life. We always take the time to plot out where we want to go next year so that we can hit the ground running instead of playing catch up, and we’re sharing the strategies we’re using for ourselves and our businesses so you can set your 2022 up for success.One thing we always focus on is our physical and mental health. Not only is this important personally, but the better you feel in these areas, the better your business will perform. Identify what practices you need to prioritize, what you need to add, and what you need to remove, and be relentless about sticking to them. The little things add up, so instead of focusing on massive shifts, look at the little pivots you can make that are going to add up to huge results.The next thing we focus on is what’s most important to us in the next 18 months to make it feel like we are winning. When you identify your core values, you’re able to build your business, personal, and financial goals around those. Find out how much money you need to live your “dream life,” and don’t add anything to your plate that is going to make you money beyond that while also impacting your quality of life negatively.And last, audience acquisition. There’s nothing that a large, engaged audience can’t solve in your business – and therefore in your life. Focusing on the ways you can get eyes on your product and your business is going to be essential for setting you up for success in 2022.It’s not too early – or too late – to start planning out your business and personal moves for next year. In fact, this is the perfect time to make the plan for next year that will help you achieve everything you want and more.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Why flexibility matters Where flexibility helped us Where being rigid hurt us How to be more flexible in life  Resources: Visit chrisharder.me/mastermind to apply for our elite mastermind group Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!  Show Notes:Flexibility creates opportunity. When good things pop up in life, you will only be able to say “yes” if you’ve been intentional about building flexibility into your life. And a lack of flexibility is only going to cost you opportunities. We’re going to show some examples of both in our life – as well as how you can build more flexibility into your own.A few months ago, someone made an offer on our Scottsdale, Arizona home that was way higher than we thought it was worth – much more than we paid for it. And even though we had only been there a few months, we saw that it was a major opportunity to make a lot of money fast. That offer ultimately fell through, but it led to us putting our home on the market to see what happened. The flexibility to be OK with either outcome gave us an incredible opportunity.On the other hand, an example of when a lack of flexibility robbed us of opportunity is when our friend Jim Kwik wanted to use my recording studio to record an interview with Tom, the founder of MySpace. But the studio was completely booked for the day and Jim said he was hoping to get Tom to do an interview on our show after his interview. He told us to “Start making room for the miracles.”It’s important that you leave space in your calendar for things to show up, but this doesn’t mean to do nothing. You have to go out into the world to allow miracles to show up. Just don’t be so rigid that you aren’t willing to see those miracles for the opportunities that they are.
