288 The Starmaker: 7 Strategies to Empower People Around You to Shine with Chris Lee

“TREAT YOURSELF LIKE YOU ARE SOMEONE RESPONSIBLE FOR HELPING.” It’s common for people to question why they are here. This question can lead to depression and a sense that the world is a terrible place. I’ve sure you’ve experienced that feeling, and you may even be going through it right now. During these times you’ll commonly replay events in your life where you felt out of control or like everything was going wrong. That reaction comes from a lack of purpose and responsibility for yourself. You’re lacking the goals you need to feel complete. Instead, start making a road map for your life: the things you want to achieve, the family you want to have, etc. It doesn’t have to be a perfect map. In fact, it won’t be. No one has the ultimate road map. But any direction is better than no direction. Without a start, you’re just going to stand there watching the world pass you by. To dive further into this I’ve brought in a special guest: Dr. Jordan Peterson. Dr. Peterson is a professor at the University of Toronto, a clinical psychologist and the author of the million-plus selling 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos (Jan 2018, Penguin Books), which has been a Number 1 bestseller in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, the Netherlands and Brazil, and which is now slated to be translated into 40 languages. He has become super popular in the last two years for his lectures which he records and puts on YouTube. I had such an interesting interview with him that had so much important information, I actually split it into two episodes. In this episode of The School of Greatness, we sit down and discuss why we admire sports figures, how any aim (even a bad one) is crucial for you to feel fulfilled, and a mindset tool you can use to motivate you to do hard things. Learn how you can find the strength to live life you didn’t know you had, on Episode 664. Some Questions I Ask: How do you embody something in a shift of view? (7:23) Why is there so much conflict in the world? (8:14) A clear conscience is different than happiness? (11:06) When we’re watching sports, what does it do for us? (15:51) How do you fix your past traumas you can’t let go of? (21:22) What do you mean by being reasonable with your goals? (23:18) Why is it better to have a bad plan than to be in “No Man’s Land”? (27:15) What are some examples of weaknesses people might have? (28:42) What are three weaknesses, you know right now, you can still work on? (29:29) Does a rationale mean a meaning? (37:14) In This Episode You Will Learn: How Dr. Peterson’s simplifies his philosophy (6:16) The relationship between responsibility and meaning (9:56) Why people are so interested in sports (13:13) The reasons you need a noble cause (17:37) The purpose of memory (20:17) Why you need to be able to answer the seven questions (25:54) What you have to do to move forward (31:06) Why you should be exercising (32:48) The reason people get stuck searching for their meaning (39:12) Plus much, much more...

"THERE I SUCH A THING HAS BAD HUSTLE.” The more successful you get, the more you are going to feel you need to hustle. You’ll feel the need to keep moving and it’ll seem like if you stop, all of the pieces will fall apart. Unfortunately, that can end up being your downfall. If you move just to keep moving, you can end up in the wrong place in life. After a while, other areas in your life will start falling apart: especially your health. And without that, what’s the point of all the work? That’s why it’s important to find that balance in your life. Find the time to hustle for yourself and for the ones you love. All of that is just as important for an entrepreneur as their business. On this episode of 5 Minute Friday, I’ve decided to bring you back this clip from Ryan Holmes.

There are two things that can make or break you when it comes to achieving greatness: your body language and your confidence. If you don’t have confidence, you’ll never be able to put yourself out there to the world. You need the confidence to try, and it’s confidence that will help you get back up after your failures. Once you have the confidence to get out there, your next obstacle is your first impression. Your body language tells someone a lot about you. Sometimes, it may not be what you intended it to say. Having proper posture, giving people a big smile, and treating everyone like an old friend will go a long way. These are really important lessons, which is why I wanted to bring you a mashup from Chen Lizra, Jordan Harbinger and Vanessa Van Edwards. I’ve received such an overwhelming response on the past mashups I wanted to bring you another one. I really suggest you go back and listen to the episode multiple times. There’s so much great advice from all three of these guests, you can’t absorb it all in one sitting. Take a new nugget of information each day and apply it to your life. You’ll quickly learn how not only your life can change, but these tips will also affect the people around you. So learn how you can master your body language and improve your confidence, on Episode 662.

“YOU NEED TO LOOK AT YOURSELF LIKE A BUSINESS.” I know you’ve heard the story of me falling into a funk and sleeping on my sister’s couch for 18 months in my early twenties. One thing you probably didn’t know is how I got out of this funk. I wanted to record a solo round on this topic because it's one of the most powerful tools I've ever used to shift my life -- it's called creating a personal advisory board. If you haven’t heard of it before, a personal advisory board is a group of people that you build around you to give you wisdom, inspire you, and, most importantly, create accountability. You may be wondering what the difference is between an advisor and a mentor -- the truth is there is a big difference. A mentor is someone you look up to. You may know them, but you may not. Chances are, today, any mentor you have can answer your questions through resources they’ve created. Maybe it’s a book, a podcast, or online articles. Board members are people you know much more intimately. It’s also important they have an invested interest in your success. Ultimately, they have skin in the game when it comes to you. But it goes beyond that. An advisory board can help you in all aspects of your life. It’s a team for success and they are there to call on throughout the year and see your goals through to the end. No matter where you are at in your life and business, you need an advisory board. Without it, you’re either going to stay stagnant or move toward your dreams much slower than you could with it. Learn all about my tips on building the ultimate advisory board, on Episode 661. In this episode you will learn: What inspired me to discuss this topic (5:25) The difference between personal advisors and mentors (7:15) Advisor types you should have for different areas of life (9:13) My early mentors I built an advisory board with (10:11) The 4 things we all need (12:43) How to pick members of your advisory board (14:05) The way your advisors should make you feel (19:22) How to ask someone to join your advisory board (22:51) What an advisory member needs to want to join (26:05) Your end of year check in (30:42) Plus much, much more...

"IMAGINE WHAT PEOPLE DON'T DO BECAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID OF THEIR ASHAMED.” A lot of people I know have a greatness inside of them, but there’s something holding them back. That thing is their self esteem. Without self esteem, you can be the best in the world, but no one will ever know because you’ll be too afraid to put yourself out there. This can be one of the hardest things to overcome, but honestly there’s an easy solution to start building your confidence - style. Changing the way you look will give you an instant feeling of change, and to go more into it I wanted to bring you a good friend of mine who knows this subject more than anyone else: Stacy London. You may know Stacy from the shows What Not to Wear, Access Hollywood, and even the Today Show. Her knowledge of style has helped change people’s lives. Learn what style can do for you, on Episode 660. In This Episode You Will Learn: How the world is changing (00:36) What Stacy would cure if she had unlimited money (1:26) How style affects self esteem (2:17) Why Stacy loves style (2:46) How style has changed people’s lives (3:36) Plus much, much more!

DON'T ALLOW STRESS TO CONSUMER YOUR LIFE. I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress lately in my life. I get wrapped up in it and tell myself (and others) how stressed I am. This mentality ends up breeding even more stress, and it’s honestly not healthy. As I listen to others around me, I’ve come to realize this is the norm. Despite all of the technology we have and all of our luxuries, we consider ourselves to be the most stressed generation. That’s why I decided to bring you another great mashup talking about this stress from Amanda Enayati, Todd Kashdan, Lissa Rankin, and Arianna Huffington. Stress, more than anything, is a mindset. It’s something we create ourselves in order to try and protect ourselves. We even become stressed about the unknown. The possibility of infinite success, or infinite failure, naturally gets our emotions to focus the darker side of the world. Instead, I challenge you to take the lessons from each of these clips. Apply them to your life and see just how much better you can make your life. I’d love to hear what you think about this episode, and how you apply these lessons in your life - so don’t hesitate to reach out to me on social media and let me know how it’s been working for you. Download this episode now and learn about how you can take control of your stress, on Episode 659. In This Episode You Will Learn: The narrative we create about stress (3:39) What real stress is (5:19) How to control your stress (7:04) The misconception of optimism (8:29) How we need to look at our limits (8:58) Some of the bravest people there are (10:15) Why the ability to tolerate pain determines your success (11:46) The four beliefs that make us frightened (14:23) How we fear what we cherish (15:35) Ways you can shift your beliefs (16:47) How loss can liberate your soul (18:01) Why you should strive for integration over balance(18:58) Myths about entrepreneurs (19:48) Plus much, much more Get more from Lewis!

“I AM ENOUGH. I DESERVE SUCCESS.” You have to fight for what you want if you want to accomplish anything. Otherwise it wouldn’t be an achievement, it would just be the way life is. Unfortunately, the struggle we have to go through to achieve our dreams can be overwhelming. It can be discouraging, and often times people give up just before they hit that pivotal point in life. One thing you can do to push through is remind yourself that you are enough. You can succeed. It’s going to take time, dedication, and a lot of failures. As long as you keep learning, and stay strong, you can achieve anything. To go further into this, I wanted to bring back a clip from a previous episode with Carrie-Anne Moss. You may remember her as Trinity from The Matrix. What you may not know is how much she struggled moving to LA as a young actress.
