#225 STF Holiday Survival Guide: 11 Ways to Crush the Holiday Season with No Regrets
Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY STF Holiday Survival Guide The holidays are my favorite time of year. They’re also some of the most stressful weeks of the year. Some of it is the nature of the season-- there are parties to attend, people to shop for, money to spend (that you may not have), family drama to brace for, and a general sense of more to do. Combine that with increased junk food and alcohol intake and it’s a recipe for disaster. Or at least an unpleasant season when the whole point is love, giving, and gratitude.

#223 How to Use Cognitive Dominance to Out-Think Fear with Neurosurgeon Mark McLaughlin
Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY How to outthink fear. Mark McLaughlin, M.D. is a neurosurgeon and the founder of Princeton Brain and Spine Care. The first time he cut open a patient's skull, he found himself confronting a powerful force that his fellow brain surgeons agreed was best never spoken of. FEAR. But Dr. McLaughlin knew that if he couldn't find a way to cope with fear, all he had striven for as a physician would be lost. So, with a scientist’s analytical precision and philosopher’s worldview, McLaughlin derived and formalized a method by which he could act rationally and confidently under the operating room's lights and in other areas of his life, while under fear's profound influence. A former NCAA Division I wrestler, McLaughlin was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2016. His commentary regularly appears in Business Insider and other national media outlets.

I’ve been the executive director of a non-profit and have raised millions of dollars. I’ve worked in sales. I’ve even been a Division I head coach. While I was born in a blue-collar home I have spent my life surrounded by Olympians, CEO’s and millionaires. Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” I’ve been lucky. I’ve learned the habits of successful people and guess what. You’re just like them. I know because I know your type. You’re programmed for hard work, which is a prerequisite for success, but you’ve never been shown how to use what you know to create the life you want with the tools you have. I will show you how. Why You Are Here You've worked hard to achieve greatness. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track. You need to understand this: You are far more prepared to succeed than those who’ve not tried, competed, struggled and overcome like you have. That’s the value of your education as someone who aims high. You are prepared to be as successful as your wildest dreams will allow. Here I will teach you, with the help of brilliant minds that have been shaped by failure, struggle, and adversity, to be who you want to be. I sense that you want this because you have read this far.

#218 Dissecting Elite Performance: How and Why to Focus on the Process Over the Outcome
Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY How and Why? We all want to win. Maybe you want the championship, the new house, the car, the job, the business, the status, or the happiness. There’s something “out there” off in the future that you want. But why is it that some people seem to not only get the thing but they’re also content throughout the journey? What is it about people who focus on the process over the outcome that allows them to be successful and happy regardless of the failures, adversity, and setbacks along the way? In this episode, I dissect the mindset and tactics of elite performers who seem to shrug off the burdens of pressure, perform at an elite level and focus on the process over outcome. And, as always, I give you tactics on how to do the same in your life.
