Adele Tribute 19/21 - Someone Like You

There is something that is rarely talked about in the business world and I want to start building more attention for it.

That thing is self-awareness.

I’m upset that the narrative these days is that everyone needs to be number one, own a company, be in charge. A lot of people are going to lose that way.

Self-awareness allows people to recognize what things they do best so they can then go hard on those aspects of their life. It also helps you accept your weaknesses.

What works for one person doesn’t work for everyone. I want people to learn to be at peace with themselves, to understand what they can offer, because everyone’s got something. The key, however, is learning how to find it.

Self-awareness can help you do that.

Self-awareness is being able to accept your weaknesses while focusing all of your attention on your strengths.

The moment you decide to accept your shortcomings and bet entirely on your strengths, things will change. Trust me.

The Importance of Self-Awareness

Hard Work & Patience

6 MINS FOR THE NEXT 60 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE

In the last sixteen months of my life, I've changed something major about myself: I've started being healthy.

A year and a half ago, I was eating like crap, not working out, and generally feeling awful. It was a tough life, and I realized quickly that I couldn't sustain a life like that. It was impossible. So I hired a trainer to force me to be better. I made an enormous lifestyle shift, and I am so happy I did.

But it made me realize something about the current state of fitness entrepreneurs. And I want to shine a light on it.

Everybody defaults to what comes easy to them. That should be obvious. But greatness comes from adversity; it comes from looking a challenge directly in the eye and having the fortitude to step up and go after it.

This is what's going on with the fitness want-repreneur world right now.

Everyone is going for what is easy. And that isn't going to pan out if they are serious about becoming a business person. Just like I knew being a great business person wouldn't pan out if I didn't get healthy.

Fitness entrepreneurs want to do the minimal work and still expect a huge return. It's easy for fitness entrepreneurs to do the push ups, to do the squats and deadlifts because that is exactly what got them to where they are now. They started in fitness and now they want to make money just by having those guns or that body. They default into what is easy without recognizing what is hard: running an actual business.

You know what was hard for me? Waking up early. Not eating what I wanted to eat. Powering through workouts. Yet it was easy to build 50M dollar businesses.

I wanted to pass off getting up and running. I wanted to pass off lifting, squatting, stretching. I didn't want to do it. But I had no problem working eighteen hours a day, taking meeting after meeting, and putting in the actual work.

Fitness "entrepreneurs" want to pass on replying to tweets all day to get the word out. They want to pass off the marketing. They want to pass off working hard to create a great interesting post, or doing a bunch of podcasts to get a larger audience. They want to go straight for the mirror selfie so you can get a bunch of Instagram likes, then call that their "business".

Well guess what? It's not good enough.

I have sympathy for how long it can take for something to come together in a big way. I get thousands and thousands of emails a year from people saying they've been working for months at something and they aren't seeing results. It can be disheartening. In a weird way, working out has shown me that more than anything else. I've been working out for sixteen months now and I'm happy, but if you told me sixteen months ago that this what I would have by now, I might say "Ehhhh…"

But the reverse is far worse.

That's why I say to you: just start the work now. Do it. Work hard. Be diligent. Do not let up. You have the body. You have the chops. You did all that. Now get to the business side of things and grow that muscle too.

ONE LIFE

It is INCREDIBLY difficult to build&nbsp;a successful consumer-facing app but we still live in a world where everyone thinks they can just start&nbsp;one. No matter what you're into in life, if you’re chasing the wrong things you’re going to lose. Period. You need to put your energy against the things that move you forward, not the things that are shiny in the moment. When I was starting my career, being an entrepreneur wasn’t cool. And sure it's cool now and I’m reaping the benefits but that doesn’t mean you can or should try and become an entrepreneur for those reasons.&nbsp;

Guys, YouTube is a staple platform for my content as most of your know, and I think it's a super important place to be, as long as it's for YOU. If you're striving to be a vlogger, or other youtuber, the biggest thing to keep in mind is that you need to be constantly providing value and engaging your subscribers, making them want to come back, and you don't need any fancy equipment to get started- just your phone. Hope you enjoy these thoughts around YouTube &amp; the community, let me know your thoughts !!&nbsp; &nbsp; Check out the full videos here:&nbsp; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUBVXzzIGOo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HiI549Dd1U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qeqNCf3fo4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9D_MtoTNgg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnBdJHdAebA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPmZnAwAf-s &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

A Mashup: 6 Tips & Thoughts Around Starting & Growing A Youtube Channel

If you're truly doing what you love, it won't feel like you're actually working... Even though I talk a lot about hard work and hustle, I still take some time off on the weekends to spend with my family, watch Jets games, and rest. Just because I put so much emphasis on working hard doesn't mean that I'm remotely trying to say that you shouldn't be sleeping or not resting... I'm trying to say that you should be using the time that you have while awake wisely and productively.

A Rant: My Honest Opinion On Hard Work, Hustle, Rest & Sleep

There are a few key points that I really try to hit on during this Q&amp;A session at iHop... I think that the college debt crisis is just around the corner, yet people that are already in debt are taking out loans to buy dumb shit to hide their insecurities. I really think that the NBA has a shot of going out of business as a result of players having all of the leverage and wanting to cut out the middleman. And lastly, once people realize how insane the opportunity is to work for someone like myself, like Mark Cuban, like Tim Ferriss, or like Jeff Bezos, people will actually pay to work for them because of what it does for their careers...

This rant is for everybody that's being held down by other people and not taking control of their own life and destiny. When is it enough? When do you finally realize that this is your life and that you need to take control? When do you draw the line and say "enough"?!

A Rant: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

This was a really cool clip from a pre-show event in Tampa where I talked to a group of young entrepreneurs about take the time to make sure that you're living by your own standards and not adhering to anyone else's idea of what your life should be. If you're chasing something solely because "society" wants you to, you have to stop and evaluate what you're doing to get to that place. Some really important lessons here that I think you should hear!

Complete fire coming out of this keynote at Tampa Startup Week. I dive deep into the upcoming trend of entrepreneurship, and how my ambition with my message isn't necessarily to encourage every single person to go out there and start a business, but to go out there and do what you want to do. If you want to be a number 13 at a company you admire, it doesn't mean you need to build a company and be it's number 1 first, but if that's your ambition then that's great.
