Control is the name of the game. One of the biggest reasons why so many lack a sense of control, as they navigate towards their ultimate visions and goals, is lack of aggression.   This word gets a bad wrap... but it's a form of energy - a gift to those who know how to create it, and channel it in the right direction.   In today's episode of the Control Series, I show you how to develop this mindset with the help of Dame Dash, 50 Cent, Kevin Gates and Diddy.   Time Stamps:   (1:22) The inspiration behind the Control Series   (3:30) Today's episode: AGGRESSION   (5:04) CLIP: Dame Dash on DJ Clue   (5:52) Put pressure on these fools.   (6:51) CLIP: Diddy "Run faster"   (7:02) Start LIVING this life.   (7:49) CLIP: Tupac, "I have no fear.

Most people run from frustration, overwhelm and mental fatigue.   In this episode, I show you the power of overwhelm, and how to strategically position yourself to grow at a fast and aggressive rate.

One of the greatest rappers of all time breaks down the mindset that leads to dropping classics versus being a one-hit wonder. This applies to any high performer and is one of the most difficult things to do. Listen to Nas tell it... #BARS

In the fourth installment of the Control Series, I break down the importance of having a STRATEGY.   Most are winging it, and fooling themselves into thinking they are progressing, when all they are doing is checking boxes.   You must take on the mindset of the most dominant athletes of all time. Floyd Mayweather. Muhammad Ali. Michael Jordan. Kobe Bryant.   Not only were they disciplined, tireless workers; they were strategic.   I break down the common mistakes most make, and how to be a true strategic leader to put yourself in the ultimate position of #CONTROL.

"Fatigue makes cowards of us all".....   How disciplined are you? How much control do you have over yourself, your habits, and your routines?   How well do you follow through?   In this 3rd installment of the Control Series, I break down the importance of having insane levels of discipline, and how to build it systematically.   We find inspiration from models of discipline like Tupac, Malcolm X, Kobe Bryant and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Most people love to validate themselves and surround themselves with "yes" men.   This will only leave you stuck, frustrated and with an inflated and fragile ego. You must do the opposite, and find people to challenge you and expose the lies you tell yourself. In this episode I break down why, and how.

In this episode, I show you the mindset of billionaire Tom Monaghan, the power of questioning everything, and learning new information with implementation at a fast pace.

In Part 2 of the Control Series, we explore what's at the root of all those truly in control.....Self-Reliance.   Self Reliance is the willingness, ability and need, to do things on your OWN. It's the commitment to take full responsibility of your environment, goals, and results. It's difficult to do, and many choose to not to go this route.   This cannot be you. In this episode, I give you several examples of true models of control, including Dame Dash, Nipsey Hussle and Young M.A, and how their philosophy leads them to accomplish at high levels.
