I’ve had enough experience as a pro athlete and as an entrepreneur, so I got to thinking which one is more fun and which one is harder. First, let me be clear, not because I pick one or the other does not mean that the other one is not fun or harder and vice versa. 

Today’s topic is we're going to do a comparison between being a pro athlete and an entrepreneur. I’m going to compare and contrast these two professions. I’m going to also share some things that you need in both.

Whatever you think is harder or easier, knowing that you are working hard on your game is the reason why I do this show.

Show notes:
[12:16]#1 Which one is more fun and why?
[18:52]#2 Which job is harder and why?
[26:02]#3 What are the parallels between these two?

#2519: How To Lose Friends & Alienate People [Part 1 of 2]

Confidence. After having goals, it's the starting point of high achievement and the bane of people who lack it. We could all use more of it to get to those goals faster, yet some people are holding themselves back for reason, but no good reasons. How about we handle all of this nonsense now, shall we? Dre gives you the steps to stepping up your confidence right NOW. 1) Write out your personal statement of your best life with zero limitations. Read it aloud twi daily - upon waking and before sleeping 2) See yourself as 25X bette than you currently are 3) Get supporting reminders around you and keep them there!  

#25: How To 25X Your Confidence TODAY

Ask anyone, or even better, ask yourself: If you could alter any internal trait of yours to any degree, what would it be? 
That answer I most-oft hear is self-belief. Confidence. 
Confidence. It’s the trait the most people want, the trait most people need. And it’s the trait you most deserve to have. 
Today I explain why — and what to do about it.

#650: You Deserve to Believe In Yourself

Life is one big competition. Yes, there is abundance, and yes, everyone can “win” in their own way, but there are times when somebody’s gonna be #1 and no one else can be. 

If you’re going to be that #1 guy/gal, you can’t be friendly and nice— the dog needs to come out. Today, learn what that means and how to do it.

Today’s show is brought to you by The Super You. Learn more at   dreallday.com/free

2:40 Today's Topic: To the athletes -  

3:47 These days, compared to the old times, analysts don’t like that players are very friendly with each other 

4:53 Point I: To be a dog in a competition is like being a hungry dog given a bone 

6:03 Your aim is that bone that dog was thrown 

6:51 Point II: To be a DOG, you are more concerned with achievements rather than relationships 

8:17 You are gonna be willing to do it 

9:53 These days, we can build relationships with anyone, anywhere 

12:57 If you are not putting 100% on achievement, your competition will beat you. 

14:07 You need to turn the relationship button off to achieve 

18:52 Point III: The further down the talent/opportunity totem pole you reside, the more this whole topic matters for your future prospects 

21:37 Point IV: If you’re gonna have people around you, they better be DOGs just like you 

22:27 A DOG is someone you’re willing to go to war next to you 

23:37 You need DOGs around you so whenever you’re half assing, someone will let you know 

24:51 There is no neutral in the universe 

25:22 If people around you are not DOGs, you gotta be a leader and pull them up with you 

26:27 Point V: A DOG does not care if he offends you with his words because he does not care if you like him 

33:49 Michael Jordan made sure everyone in his team played at the level that he’s at

#853: Competition: You Gotta Be A DOG

Many salespeople (read: damn near Everyone) undersell themselves, then wonder why/complain about the fact that they’re not earning what they want financially. 

Today’s episode is the start: raising your prices. Asking for more. Expecting more. Demanding more. And actually getting it. 

Sound interesting? Then today’s show is for you.

2:11 Today's Topic: Raising Your Prices The Logical And Emotional Understanding Of Why

4:53 Point I: If you are not turning people away from coming to your product or service because your price is out of their range, your prices are too low.

16:11 High price is our way to filter low-quality clients.

16:28 Point II: How do you justify a high price?

22:54 Point III: Every time you prove yourself, your price goes up.

25:54 Have confidence. If you believe it, everybody else is going to believe it. 

28:11 Point IV: If you really want to help people with your product, it's a requirement of you to charge enough that you can be at your best whenever you show up to deliver. You can't be at your best when you're undercharging for what you offer.

#1102: Raising Your Prices: The Logical And Emotional Understanding Of Why

What?!?! Lie to yourself? I thought you were about “keeping it REAL,” Dre?!?! 

I am. And sometimes, the realest thing you can do for yourself is to tell yourself a lie — often, to the point that you start to Believe and act on that lie. The key is in choosing the right lie to believe. Today I’ll explain my position and help get you started.

2:12 Today's Topic: Why You Need To Start Lying To Yourself

4:10 Point I: You can't change the outside reality of your life until you change your inner reality.

7:10 You change any area of your outer reality by changing the conversation you're having with yourself on the inside of that area.

13:48 Point II: You're too intelligent to put this into action.

17:40 Point III: Anything that we tell ourselves often enough, even if it's completely untrue, we will eventually come to believe it.

20:34 What we believe in, we act on.

#1107: Why You Need To Start Lying To Yourself
