According to legend, Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés issued a rather interesting order to his men as they began their conquest of the Aztec empire in 1519.  The order was simple: Burn the boats.  He wanted his men to realize that they had no opportunity to retreat, so they had to give this fight everything they had. Failure was no longer an option and winning this battle just became that much more important.  There is much debate about the legitimacy of this story, both in reference to the true intentions of Cortés and whether the actual burning took place at all.  However, regardless of the accuracy in this particular case, this phrase “Burn your boats” has become popular advice in the context of business and success.  In today’s episode, my friend and best-selling author, Tim Grahl, and I discuss why burning your boats may be the wrong strategy and one you want to avoid, and then we share what we believe will be a much better approach for your to take your success to the next level and beyond. &nbsp; Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit HalElrod.com/283 You can also find a special version of the episode on the PremoCast app (iPhone only):&nbsp;http://blog.premocast.com/episode-283 &nbsp; Subscribe, Rate &amp; Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating &amp; review.

285: What Is the Purpose of Life? (Hint: It's Simpler Than You Think)

I’ve got some sad news, which you may have already heard. One of the most inspirational people I’ve ever met, Sean Stephenson – known around the world as the “3 Foot Giant” – passed away last week, after a wheelchair accident. Sean dedicated his life to helping people, and I was blessed to know him as a friend and mentor. Today it is my privilege to share some of his inspiration with you by giving you an opportunity to listen to the last interview that he and I did together. Because of a rare bone disorder, Sean was predicted not to survive at birth. In fact, he’d suffered over 200 fractures by the time he turned 18. However, Sean has survived, thrived, and lived a life that has inspired millions around the world. He’s appeared on Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel Live, has online videos with 10+ million views, been the subject of a TV series for A&amp;E called 3 Foot Giant, and published a book titled Get Off Your But: How to End Self-Sabotage. &nbsp; &nbsp; Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit HalElrod.com/286 &nbsp; Subscribe, Rate &amp; Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating &amp; review.
