Finding Your WHY
April 27, 2022 13:00 - 4 minutes - 2.13 MBWhen you know WHY you’re doing something, it’s much easier to stick with and follow through on. Think back to the subjects in school that you hate, most likely you can’t see any reason WHY you should do it, or WHY you would ever need to use it in life (trigonometry). But when you can see the WHY, like knowing that workouts translate directly to results and success on the playing field, it’s much easier to stick with it through the hard things.

101KEYS Learn to Say NO
April 20, 2022 11:23 - 2 minutes - 1.09 MBOne of the biggest “Keys to Life” I know of is learning how to say “NO”. One trait of IMPACTFUL people is that they want to make a difference whenever, wherever, and however they can. Too often the thing that goes along with this is the propensity to say “yes” to every opportunity that comes up. Always remember, that saying yes to one thing, is saying no to something else. And that something else may just be the thing you SHOULD be saying yes to. Don’t be afraid to prioritize the things that...
What is the Key to Success?
April 18, 2022 11:30 - 1 minute - 904 KB“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear.
