Stop Spending Time With Toxic People

Over the past number of years I’ve been a bit of a lone voice in the wilderness, evangelizing a message that emotional healing is absolutely essential to expert performance. Heartset work [introduced in The 5AM Club] allows you to dissolve the repressed regret, disappointment, shame, anger and sorrow that we all experience as we advance through life. Working on a better Mindset for 2022 while neglecting your Heartset sets up a situation of self-sabotage where your intellect knows what you s...

Messy periods reveal how strong you’ve made yourself (through your routines and daily practices). They also pinpoint all the internal work still left to do. Your time really is now. My respectful suggestion: the more you connect with a cause that is of helpfulness to other humans, the chains of your previously perceived reality fall away. And you will ascend toward a happiness that knows few bounds. And a peace that requires no luxuries. If you're ready to make 2022 the sing...

Why be an opening act when you and I both know you’re built to be a headliner? If you’re there now, beautiful. If you’re not, then my encouragement is to start the process today. A year from now, you’ll be so happy you did. A strong beginning point is to consider this insight: one of the primary assets of genius is time mastery. [Time management is so old-school; the true sport is to master it]. Watch someone stuck in a victim mentality and a life of scarcity and you’ll see they waste...

One of the things I’m noticing is that many good souls are losing their faith in themselves. …they are forgetting that hard times make supreme heroes. …they are hoping that the world will become easier instead of using this period to grow stronger. …they are neglecting the genuine power that resides within every human spirit. We must notice any fear, lean into it and then send it on its way. Heroism is not about being fearless. It’s more about looking deep into the dangerous darkness of t...

Whatever happened to commitment? We live in a world seduced by easy. We want to look great and be super fit but we don’t want to have to exercise to get there. We want to be uber-successful in our careers but we wonder if there’s a way to reach world-class without having to work hard and be disciplined (every great executive is disciplined – as is every great company). We dream of living fearless, joy-filled lives but we all too often avoid doing the very best practices (like getting ...

On the last hour on your last day, all the risks you didn't take and all the great human beings you didn't serve will break your heart. As Robin Sharma wrote in his bestseller Who Will Cry When You Die? " I’ll make you this promise: on your deathbed, in the twilight of your life, it will not be all the risks you took that you will regret the most. Rather, what will fill your heart with the greatest amount of regret and sadness will be all those risks that you did not take, all those opportu...

In dark moments our world needs you to shine more brightly. I want you to be so strong in your interior core and so fortified within your outer life in 2022 that when things get even messier, you... ...stay positive, brave and supremely focused on your mission plan. ...turn insecurity into creativity and maximize your productivity so your mighty ambitions still get done. ...leverage all the fear around you to raise your leadership, grow your genius and serve more humans and raise our trou...

There is a secret universe that exists for those who seek it. A sphere of your highest creativity, bravery and audacity. A place where truth and love rule. Digging deep and working on your Heartset instead of only improving your Mindset is a supersmart move. You see, to enter the magic, you must be able to feel. Too many people on the planet have numbed out their emotions because they’ve been hurt so much. They’ve done this to protect their once wide-open hearts. And yet, this serves to sabo...
