if you're feeling left behind,here's the truth you need to
(00:03):
hear.
Life Mastery, for those of youwho don't know, I've been
hosting it for many years and.
Typically we bring in differentguests to share their expertise.
And it's essentially a holisticapproach to making your life
better.
So we cover all differentaspects of your life.
Think of it like the BreakfastClub, like a master class of
everything we cover throughoutthe course of the year on the
(00:25):
Breakfast Club, but over thecourse of.
A two day webinar.
So make sure that you getyourself registered.
If you need the link forwhatever reason shoot me a dm.
I'll send you the link to lifemastery so you guys can get
registered.
It's going to be free foreveryone.
We're also going to have itposted up on our knowledge and
(00:45):
inspiration Facebook group.
For those of you who are not inthe Facebook group, make sure
you send me a dm.
That way I can add you.
And outside of that, we alsohave.
The 21 Days to Transformationchallenge getting kick started
here in two days.
On Thursday we'll bekickstarting our 21 Days to
Transformation Challenge.
(01:05):
For those of you.
Who are again, new to theBreakfast Club and you have no
idea what the 21 Days ofTransformation Challenge is.
This is basically it right here.
It is 21 to dos in 21 days.
So as you can see, it's prettymuch things that could
essentially make your lifebetter.
Let's just say.
(01:25):
For example you need to work ongetting more sleep.
One of 21 Seduces is getting aminimum of seven hours of sleep.
Also waking up at least 30minutes earlier, right?
With no snooze, different thingslike that.
Journaling going over yourcalendar.
For those of you who.
Need more planning no, nogossiping, complaining or
(01:46):
excuses.
Tidying up your space having aday of rest throughout the week,
all kinds of stuff.
The 21 to dos.
For those of you who've neverembarked on the 21 days of
transformation challenge, I canassure you right now, the 21 to
dos will definitely help youreset.
I know a lot of people are longoverdue for a reset.
Especially for those of youwho've been, setting those new
(02:09):
year resolutions and maybe youput the new year resolutions on
the back burner by the timeFebruary rolled around and you
need that reset.
The halfway point of the yearfor our community is typically a
great time to just resetyourself and get back on track
with everything that you'vebeen, putting on the back
burner.
With that being said we're aboutto.
(02:30):
Jump into today's main topic andbefore we do that, we have some
shares for you all.
So let's jump into the veryfirst share.
The first one is have aproactive day.
Have a proactive day.
Today summon one of the fourendowments.
And the four endowments areself-awareness conscience.
(02:53):
Independent will andimagination.
When you feel yourself becomingreactive, try to use each one
over the course of the day.
So ask yourself, what's going onin my life today that might
affect my proactivity?
Proactive people are thecreative force of their own
lives.
They choose their own way andtake responsibility for the
(03:15):
results.
Reactive people see themselvesas victims.
Here's a really great quote byStephen Covey.
Every human being has fourendowments, self-awareness,
conscience, independent will,and creative imagination.
This gives us the ultimate humanfreedom, the power to choose.
So this is from the Seven Habitsof Highly Effective People
(03:38):
flashcards.
And next up, we have, you arethe source of all your emotions.
At any moment, you can create orchange them.
So why don't we?
For most of us, feeling bad isnatural, yet we have to have a
reason to feel good.
But you don't need an excuse toallow yourself to feel good.
(03:58):
You can just decide to feel goodright now simply because you are
alive, simply because you wantto.
You don't have to wait foranything or anyone.
Really.
Great share.
And last but not least, we have,what's the best way to deal with
the negative emotions?
There are several commonineffective responses.
(04:20):
You can ignore your emotions.
Of course, they don't go away.
You can suppress them, but theyjust come out in some other way.
You can indulge in them and justfeel sorry for yourself.
That doesn't make anythingbetter.
You can try to compete by sayingyou think you've got it bad.
I've got it even worse.
Of course, the more intelligentthing is to transform them by
(04:42):
dealing effectively with thesituation, looking for solutions
and learning from and using youremotions to enhance your life
and the lives of all those youhave the privilege to touch.
So really great share and beforewe jump into.

Welcome everyone.
Happy to be here with you all asalways.
Man, I'm excited for this weekbecause life Mastery is just a
great time to reflect on yourlife.
It's a great time to just getthat reset that you need.
(06:12):
It's a great time to, get backon track with I.
Everything that, that you needto get back on track with,
sometimes life is life and thenit gets really challenging, just
keeping up with it all.
And I know the Life MasteryHalftime event in particular is
just always just a great time toget yourself back in the game.
Let's see here.
(06:32):
We're about to jump into somemore shears.
Okay?
I have some life hacks for youguys.
Instead of going to dinner and amovie I.
Go to the movie first and thendinner this way.
At dinner, you have something totalk about.
So I know for me, dinner andmovies is like the ultimate date
night.
(06:52):
Like I love MA good movie andalso some good food.
We had some friends over for theweekend.
My best friend Lamar Thompsonmany of you know of him.
He travels all around the world.
You probably have seen him andhis wife, Vicki.
Traveling around the world withus.
And it's just been a great timejust doing life with them.
And for those of you who don'thave a core tribe, I definitely
(07:14):
recommend get yourself like agood solid core tribe of people
that you can travel with.
People who are equally yolkedpeople who are like-minded,
people who are just open-mindedeven to trying new things and
growing with you.
I can tell you right nowfriendships and relationships
have been one of the areas of mylife that has served me the
(07:36):
most.
And that was really cool because4th of July weekend my friends
Lamar and Vicki they flew downand we had a bunch of fun and we
were actually prepping for ourcreators conference.
We got to shoot a podcastepisode, create content.
And so much incredible things.
And shout out to Lamar andVicki.
I know they jump on theBreakfast Club from time to time
as well.
And find yourself some reallysolid friends.
(07:57):
That's really what I wanna leaveyou guys with because it's just,
it makes life so much betterwhen you have genuine people to
do life with.
And, it was pretty cool'causemy, my wife was with us and my
kids are actually they'respending their summer in The
Bahamas with my in-laws andtheir family out there.
And it is just a reallybeautiful thing to, to witness,
kids being able to just spendtime with their family.
(08:20):
I remember as a kid, just summerbreaks, is so exciting to.
Get around your cousins and allthat good stuff, but it also
freed up our time to be able todo some more things.
So it was really cool just beingable to hang out and just live a
I don't even know what to callit, but live life without having
to parent every single day.
And for those of you who areparents, you know exactly what
(08:42):
I'm talking about.
It is nice to get a break fromtime to time, but next life hack
we have is.
When nothing goes right, go tosleep.
Now, that's probably not gonnabe practical advice for every
single scenario, but.
I know that there's nothing agood nap can't handle.
Like after taking a good nap,sometimes you just need a reset.
(09:04):
Yesterday, it was just one ofthose challenging days for me,
and having just a, taking aquick nap, it always just helps
you reset.
And if you find yourself moodythroughout the day or you're
going through a very challengingcircumstance, if you have the
ability, just take a nap.
Go for a walk sometimes.
You're hungry and low on energyand don't even realize because
(09:24):
you're on adrenaline and getyourself a good meal.
Go for a walk, get some exerciseif you need to take some time
for some breathing exercises,whatever it is that you have to
do to get yourself reset.
But sometimes we just need thosesubtle reminders.
We need those reminders to, say,you know what, life has been
life in today, and it's beensuper challenging.
I've been going through itemotionally and it always helps
(09:47):
to just get that reset.
And maybe it's a nap.
Maybe it's getting yourselfhydrated because sometimes our
emotional flare ups a lot ofwhat contributes to that is just
dehydration and things likethat.
Just go a long way, right?
Like just the simple things thatwe tend to forget.
So let's jump into the meat andpotatoes of today's breakfast
(10:07):
club.
We have tons of food forthought, and I love those corny
no pun intended things to say.
And today my goal is really tohelp you guys reframe the
feeling of being behind and torecognize the illusion of
comparison and give youpractical tools to get back into
(10:29):
alignment.
With your own specifictimelines.
So I don't know about y'all, butI most certainly have had tons
and tons of moments throughoutmy life, just feeling behind.
And I know a lot of people canrelate to this, and that's why I
thought it was definitely areally great idea to just cover
this topic in particular becauseeven for those of you who are,
(10:52):
you know now, like halfwaythrough the year and you're
like, man, I'm so behind on allof my goals that I set early in
the year, and I see so manypeople on social media who are
just so ahead of me.
And maybe you feel that waywith, your career.
Maybe you feel that way withyour finances.
Maybe you feel that way with.
Your family life.
(11:12):
You haven't had, children yet,and you're like, man, I feel so,
so behind with life.
Or, it, we all tend to fall intothis trap of not feeling like
we're where we need to be.
And if you've ever felt thatway, if you guys don't mind drop
a one in the comments.
If you've ever felt like therewas a period of your life or
(11:33):
maybe even right now where youjust feel behind with so many
different things.
Sometimes it is like you mayfeel behind, but there are
moments where you really behind,like you may be behind on your
bills and you're like, Josh,like it ain't even a matter of
feeling behind.
I am behind on a lot of thingsright now.
You may be behind on your taxes,you may be behind on your bills
(11:54):
and all that stuff, and.
This Breakfast Club session isdefinitely going to be for you,
for those of you who feelbehind, and it's so important to
just make yourself or just notfall into the trap of comparing
yourself, because that's reallywhat all of this is rooted in.
We tend to just compareourselves, and in the world of
social media, there's thisphenomenon now where it's
(12:17):
referred to as relativedeprivation and relative
deprivation is.
When you're finding yourselfgetting depressed because you're
comparing yourself to everybodyelse.
Not realizing or just forgettingthat these people who post on
social media just post up theirhighlights.
They're not posting up like alot of the bad aspects of their
(12:39):
life or the aspects of the,their lives that aren't so
great, no one's just there justposting all of their problems on
social media.
Maybe some people, but for mostpeople, they're not posting all
of their problems on socialmedia.
And it's important to, toremember this because you're
just looking at a bunch ofhighlight reels, not realizing
that even for the people whoseem to have it all figured out.
(13:01):
Even myself, like I have tons ofthings that I deal with on an
everyday basis when it comes tolife and all kinds of
challenges, but you'll neverhear about it on social media.
So you have to be mindful ofthat, like just always falling
into the trap of comparingyourself.
Run your own race, run your ownrace.
(13:21):
That's one of the best thingsthat you can do on this journey.
Okay now have you ever looked atsomeone else's life and thought.
Wow.
I should be so much further bynow.
And if that's the case for you,then again today we're going to
be unpacking that sinkingfeeling of being behind and help
you rewrite the story you'vebeen telling yourself, because
(13:42):
that's really what it is.
You have this narrative in yourmind.
That, okay, it has to all beperfect or it has to fall in
this specific timeline.
I remember that was the case forme, like I wanted to be a
millionaire by 25, right?
I don't know who the hell liketold me that was like the
standard, but it's just aridiculous standard to set for
yourself, especially being thatby 25 years old you're still
(14:06):
like figuring yourself out.
And I remember just thinkingthat to myself.
And I remember one of thebusinesses that I was in the
early days.
I wanted to be at the very topof that business, not
understanding that there's aprocess.
There's a growth process thatalso has to happen internally
before reaching thesemilestones.
And oftentimes if you really gotyour goals in the timeline that
(14:28):
you want it, you won't becomethe person you need to be.
Because remember, success is notsomething you obtain.
Success is something you attractby the person you ultimately
become.
Understand that, and I'll saythat again.
For those of you in the back ofthe classroom, success is not
something you obtain.
It's something you attract bybecoming the person you need to
(14:49):
become.
That's really what it's about.
I remember Jim Rowan wouldoftentimes say that, don't
become a millionaire for thesake of.
Just getting money, like becomea millionaire.
You should wanna become amillion a millionaire because of
who you become in the process.
(15:10):
That's really the idea becausein order to even sustain a
million dollars, think about it.
Who do you have to become?
What kind of value do you haveto add to the world?
How responsible do you have tobe?
How disciplined do you have tobe?
How consistent you have to be inorder to make a million dollars?
So important to understand.
(15:30):
There's so many people out therethat they want to put the, the
cart before the horse, thecarriage before the horse, and
just not understanding thatthere's a process to this.
That's with anything you wannabecome successful in there.
There's a germination processthat has to take place where
you're becoming the person thatyou need to become in order to
(15:50):
have what it is that you want.
And typically things that youknow, let's just say things that
are great in life.
If you wanna be great,understand that there is a
capacity for responsibility thatyou have to have in order to
sustain that.
Any person of greatness has agreat capacity for what they can
be responsible for.
So now the first thing that youknow I think is a great aspect
(16:15):
of this to cover is the rootfeeling behind just not feeling
like you're doing things on theright timeline, right?
There's a root cause to that,and it often starts with
comparison.
So that can be on social media,that can be your peers.
That can be family expectations.
(16:37):
Maybe you're comparing yourselfto a sibling or someone in your
family that maybe they're makingthe six figure income.
Maybe they went to college rightout of high school and they went
to a good college and they wentand landed a really great career
right out of college.
And you're now comparingyourself to that.
Maybe your family had thesecrazy expectations for you to.
(16:57):
Take a specific path, and that'swhy you're feeling the way that
you feel, but you have toidentify what is the root cause
for you feeling like you'rebehind.
Okay?
Now understand we're also, mostof the time chasing timelines.
We never even agree to.
For example, you may have thistimeline where you are gonna be
(17:18):
married by 30 and have childrenby 30 years old.
Or a millionaire by 25 or 30, oryour dream life by 40, and
understand that this feeling isnot true, right?
It's a perception.
It's not necessarily true.
There's no rule book to say, oh,you have to have children.
(17:40):
All of your children by 30, oryou have to, have your house by
35.
There's no rule book per se.
It's just, you're like makingthese comparisons and looking at
everybody else's life andunderstand that you are not
behind.
You're just on a differentchapter than everyone else.
You're not behind.
(18:00):
There are so many stories ofreally incredible people that
they didn't have their breakawaysuccess until later on in life.
You look at people like forexample Gary v.
Gary Vaynerchuk, for those ofyou who know him, mega
influencer.
And he, at 30 years old, he wasstill working at his dad's
liquor store, right?
And today, the dude is making aquarter million dollars of
(18:24):
speech and has, companies thatare doing extremely well.
Is influencing millions ofpeople on a day-to-day basis.
And again, at 30 years old, hewas running his dad's liquor
store, right?
You look at people like ColonelSanders.
Colonel Sanders didn't reallytake off with KFC until his
(18:44):
sixties, right?
Warren Buffet didn't become abillionaire until after,
reaching his fifties.
Then there are tons and tons ofstories like this where people
had their breakaway successlater on in life.
I know people one of my reallygood friends just got married
now for the first time in herlife, in her fifties, right?
(19:05):
Imagine if she had all thepressure of just getting married
in her thirties.
Her life would look verydifferent today.
And she married her dream spouseright in her fifties.
There are people even decidingto have children in their
fifties.
There's so many options today,whether it's a, IIVF or IVF and
or surrogate or whatever youhave adoption, so many different
(19:27):
options today that you canchoose to even have children
later on in life.
So it's so important tounderstand that don't go on
anybody else's timeline.
You do what's right for you,right?
Because for example.
Today I look at a lot of peoplewho are my age, who are having
mega success, mega success.
(19:47):
A lot of some of my biggestinspirations today are, these
guys and gals that are killingit right now in their, some are
even early thirties.
And the thing about it is thatwhat I've noticed is many of
them.
Don't even have children.
And imagine if I was comparingmyself to people that don't have
(20:09):
any children that have theability to put in 70, 80, 90
hour work weeks.
Like I would be insane tocompare myself to someone that
doesn't have any children andthey could dedicate every ounce
of their being to their work.
So that's what I mean by runningyour own race.
I'm also married and there'sthose obligations and it's a
(20:32):
completely different ball game.
So I have to always remindmyself of that.
Hey your journey is completelydifferent than that other
person's journey.
Now when I'm like, let's justsay my kids are off to school
and now things really take offbecause my wife and I at that
point will be empty nesters andwe can dedicate a lot more time
(20:54):
to our work.
So again.
Everybody's path is different.
Now.
You may, let's just say, decideto have children in your forties
and then you slow down, right?
And maybe you dedicated yourtwenties and thirties to just
working all the time, and nowyou finally decide to settle
down and have a family.
So it really just depends.
(21:15):
It really just depends.
It's interesting because one ofthe things that I was talking
about with my friends Lamar andVicki, they're married they're
like mid thirties, no children,but they travel all around the
world and they have an amazinglifestyle and, their path was a
little bit opposite than ours.
Like now they're, finallydeciding to have children are
(21:36):
considered having children atthis stage, but.
I started at 25 having childrenand we just said, you know what,
let's knock'em out early.
And again, two completelydifferent life paths.
And it's not to say that one isbetter than the other.
You just have to make a decisionthat whatever timeline God has
in store for you, you, you goabout that timeline and you make
(21:59):
the most of it.
Okay, so next we have understandthat.
Everyone feels this way.
So for those of you who are likebeating up on yourself about
just feeling like you're behind,everybody feels that way to some
degree, and it may be differentfor some people.
For some people they may bethey're behind with their
(22:19):
finances.
For some people, they may feellike they're behind with their
careers, they're behind withentrepreneurship, they're behind
with building their brand,whatever it is.
Everybody can relate to this tosome degree, and that's why it
was important for me to, justmake it make this specific
session about this, becauseeverybody can relate to this.
(22:41):
Okay?
So even people who looksuccessful behind or they look
successful, let's say on socialmedia, behind the scenes in
other areas, they still feellike they're behind.
I know people who are killingit.
They may be 35, 40 and they'rekilling it with their careers.
They're killing it financially.
(23:01):
They're killing it with theirlifestyle, but they feel be
behind when it comes to likemarriage and family life.
So again just because someonehas it all figured out from a
success standpoint with theirfinances and career, they still
may feel behind with otherareas.
Okay.
So I know for me.
(23:22):
There have been moments whereyou know with, from a business
standpoint, I've felt behind,there have been moments from a
financial standpoint I've feltbehind in, in different areas.
There've been moments, even whenI got into podcasting, I felt
man, I should have been, startedpodcasting.
I was already doing thebreakfast club for years and I
could have very well hadembarked on podcasting.
(23:45):
A lot earlier.
But again the worst thing Icould have done at that point in
time is just have guilt or shameor just beat up on myself about
it.
There's no, no reason to beat upon myself about it, because at
the same time, there were otheraspects of life that I was
working on, right?
That, like working on my familylife or just even just working
(24:05):
on my health or working ondifferent areas of life.
Again.
Identify, okay, what are theareas that you may feel behind?
Because it may not even be yourwhole life.
It may just be one specificarea.
Maybe you're like, man, I'm hereI am, I'm in my forties and I
still haven't been married, andall of my siblings are married.
(24:26):
And here I am, like the onesibling that isn't married, or
the one sibling that you knowhasn't had children.
Listen there are other ways youcan make up for that.
I would hope that you're notjust dwelling on that one area
and really doubling down on yourstrengths, right?
Because there's a lot of thingsyou can do that maybe your
siblings can't, or maybe yourpeers can't.
(24:49):
Okay?
So super important to understandnow.
You never know who's quietlyrestarting their life while you
are comparing your chapter fourto their chapter 14.
You never know, and right now isa great opportunity to just
restart wherever you are,whatever area you feel be behind
(25:12):
in, it's a great opportunity torestart.
So here are three mindset shiftsto reset your specific timeline.
The very first one is reframethe timeline.
Super important to note now,whose clock are you living by?
Are you living by society'sclock?
Are you living by your family'sexpectations?
(25:34):
Is that the clock you'refollowing?
Whose clock is it that you'refollowing?
Is it your peers clock?
Most timelines are simply madeup.
Understand that success is notlinear.
You have to shift from deadlinesto direction, okay?
You have to shift from deadlinesto direction.
You don't have to operate onanyone's clock, and especially
(25:56):
in today's day and age, theworld is so different.
It's no longer like the, let'sjust say the typical American
dream, I think that we had gotcaught up on or just sold on
this American dream for so manyyears that it's like expected of
us to just follow this specifictimeline, right?
(26:16):
You go to school, get the goodgrades so you can get the good
job.
Then you get this good job andthen you work the 40 40 plan,
right?
You work 40 hours a week for 40years of your life with this one
specific company.
You buy the big house with thewhite picket fence.
You got the two cars and the twoand a half kids and all of this
stuff, and you're married.
And listen, that is definitelyno longer the American dream.
(26:39):
It's it, that world is no longerapplicable to today's day and
age, right?
It's just not.
How do I know that?
Because, think about it.
The average person, especiallyin America today, is probably
going to work for at least eightdifferent companies in their
lifetime.
A lot of companies just come andgo.
(27:00):
It's no longer where you workfor a company for 40 years of
your life and retire and getyour gold watch and sail off
into the sunset.
It's no longer the case.
The technology the rapidtransformation of technology is
happening so fast thatindustries are emerging out of
(27:20):
nowhere.
Jobs and com, like entiredepartments of companies.
Are completely being eradicatedbecause of technology like AI
and automation and so manydifferent things.
So that's a big reason why it'sjust a completely different
world.
Another thing is education is alot more accessible than it was
(27:41):
in the early days.
Today you can go right onYouTube and pretty much learn
whatever it is that you need tolearn.
Also, you have so much access toonline learning.
You have AI that could assistyou in learning a lot of things
or could even draft up abusiness plan for you.
So many things that, that, thatare different today than, the
(28:02):
way our grandparents had it, oreven our parents the way they
had it just a few years ago.
Okay?
So understand that we are oncompletely different timelines
than the generation before.
Here's another thing.
This is another great mindsetshift to reset your timeline,
and that is progress overperfection.
(28:23):
Really what we're pursuing isjust this path of perfection,
and really it's about progressover perfection.
Perfection is an illusion,right?
You're never gonna have it alltogether because there are a lot
of things that are outside ofyour control.
For example, you can't control.
Whoever you end up with, per se,like you can control who you
(28:44):
choose to be with, but you can'tcontrol whether or not someone
is going to want to stick it outwith you in a relationship.
You can't control whether or notthat company is going to keep
you on long term.
You can't always control thesethings.
You can't always control what,what's happening in the economy.
You can't control it at all.
(29:05):
So rather than aspiring forperfection, just set a goal to
always pursue progress overperfection.
It's a much better mindset tohave and also know that you are
not behind if you're stillmoving forward.
Celebrate those small wins.
They compound over time.
(29:27):
So as long as you're movingforward, that's the idea.
If you're not growing, you'redying.
That's just universal law.
You're either in a state ofgrowth or you're in a state of
decay.
There's no such thing as aplateau when it comes to just
the way the universe works.
You're either growing or you'redying, right?
As long as you're moving forwardwith whatever it is that you are
(29:49):
working on, even if all you getis an inch for the day, guess
what?
It's an inch closer to the goalline.
Here's another mindset shift.
That's purpose over pressure.
So many of us put so muchpressure on ourselves to meet
these timelines in our lives.
Or maybe you have that annoying,let not say annoying parent and
(30:09):
be savage here, but you havethat one parent that's
constantly nagging you.
When are you gonna gimme grandbabies?
Or when are you gonna do this?
Or when are you going to dothat?
Listen.
It's purpose over pressure.
It's what's right for you.
The only person that can trulydictate what's right for you is
you, nobody else can.
It's your life to live.
You were gifted this life, andyou get to decide exactly what
(30:31):
you want to do with your lifeand how you wanna live your
life.
And also understand that whenyou stop performing for approval
and start aligning with purpose,you stop feeling like you are
running out of time.
That's what it's about.
It's letting go of thisperformance for approval, this
(30:53):
performance of perfection,right?
It's just not sustainable overtime and you have to align
yourself with purpose.
Okay?
Now here are five action stepsto get yourself back into
alignment.
Number one.
And take notes.
Take notes as if you're gonnahave to teach this.
As you guys oftentimes hear mesay, the weakest ink is stronger
(31:17):
than the strongest memory.
So take notes on all of thisdifferent stuff because it will
most certainly help you justkickstart this second half of
2025.
All right.
I don't know about y'all, butI'm definitely long overdue for
a reset this year.
The, these last couple ofmonths.
It's just been work for the mostpart, working and just laying a
(31:37):
foundation.
But I know for me, I mostcertainly, I'm overdue for a
reset.
And here's five action steps toget yourself back into
alignment.
Again, this Thursday, 7:00 PMEastern Standard Time.
I'll be sharing the links, onsocial media and all that stuff.
So just follow me on socialmedia.
(31:58):
You can find me at the WorldTraveler.
For those of you who don't findme on Instagram or just look me
up online, I'll be sharing.
Information on this week's LifeMastery event which is free for
everyone.
We also have a VIP option aswell.
That comes with a complimentarycoaching session and then the 21
Days to transformationChallenge.
For those of you who don't know,we also have a digital course.
(32:20):
We have two ways of.
Doing the digital course, youcan have the course alone.
So we, you can purchase thecourse alone or you can get the
course with one month ofcoaching.
If that interests you forwhatever reason just dm me the
word coach, and I'll be morethan happy to send you over some
information on that as well.
Okay.
So here we go.
(32:40):
Five action steps to get backinto alignment.
Number one, audit your currentlife.
Audit your current life.
Ask yourself what's going andwhat no longer feels aligned.
So think about that.
What's going well in your life?
Maybe it's your health, maybeit's your relationship.
(33:01):
Maybe it's your social life.
You guys will see on LifeMastery, I'll cover a lot of the
different categories of yourlife.
So it may be finances, it may beyour personal development, it
may be the level ofcontribution.
That you're operating at or thecontribution that you're
providing the world, it may belet's just say it could be
anything.
It could be your purpose, butwhat's going well in your life
(33:24):
and what no longer feelsaligned.
So maybe that job no longerfeels aligned, maybe the way
you've been living, maybe thatrelationship.
No longer feels aligned.
Maybe the friends you've beenkeeping in your life or the
associations, the environmentyou, the environments you've
been entertaining, right?
(33:45):
Those things no longer feelaligned, but this is a great
time of the year to just do thatself inventory, take self
inventory of the relationshipsthat you have, the environments
that you're in, the way you'vebeen living, your lifestyle, all
of that.
And really identify what's goingand what no longer feels
aligned.
(34:06):
Secondly, the second action stepis turn off the noise.
Turn off the noise.
Maybe you have to take atemporary break on social media
and do a social media detox oreven unfollow accounts that
trigger comparison.
Maybe they trigger justanything, right?
Like maybe you have people onyour.
(34:27):
Social media that every time youlook at their life, and it's
just like it, it triggerssomething inside of you.
Listen, guess what?
There's a mute option on socialmedia.
You don't necessarily have tounfollow them or block them, but
you could just mute them, right?
And perhaps that's what you haveto do.
Or just detox from social mediaaltogether.
I have tons of friends that theyjust take a break from it for a
(34:49):
while, and it's one of the bestthings that you can do for your
mental health.
For those of you who've beenstruggling with your mental
health, ask yourself.
Has you comparing yourself toother people on social media,
has that been contributing toanything that you've been
battling with your mentalhealth?
You constantly comparingyourself to, again, a facade,
(35:10):
right?
People are many times they don'tactually live the way they're
portraying themselves on socialmedia.
So it's always essential toremind yourself of that.
Okay?
But maybe you need a break andyou have to turn off the noise.
You have to reconnect withyourself.
Go out in nature, right?
Just get off of the social mediaaltogether.
(35:31):
Unplug the television,deactivate your Netflix account
or your Hulu account or anythingthat you've been dedicating a
lot of time to on things thatdon't serve you.
Think about this.
How much more time would youhave?
The average person spends overtwo hours a day on social media.
The average person spendsprobably over two hours a day
(35:54):
just watching television orwatching things on, just on
shows or reality tv, whatever itis.
What if you just eliminated thatfor 21 days?
You just dedicated your time tomaybe writing that book,
creating the content that youneed to create for that business
project that you're working on,whatever it's, maybe it's
(36:14):
building your brand, but whatcan you dedicate more time to by
eliminating certain things inyour life?
Number three is set micro goals.
So what's one thing you can dothis week to feel proud of
yourself?
Maybe your micro goals are the21 to-dos.
Maybe your micro goal is hiringthat personal trainer.
(36:37):
Maybe your micro goal is gettingthat coach for the next 21 days.
Maybe your micro goal is postingconsistently on social media.
For those of you who arebuilding brands on social media,
maybe that's what your microgoal is, but set some micro
goals throughout the year.
Listen, if you've been lackinghappiness in your life, one, one
(36:57):
thing that I know for a fact isthat you'll be a lot more happy.
When you're setting goals andaccomplishing your goals when
you're following through on yourgoals.
Yesterday, for example, like oneof my goals for the week is to
work out for at least four daysout of the week.
That's one of my goals, andthey're not crazy.
Two hour workouts a day, likemost of the time.
(37:20):
My, my gym sessions, I would saysession.
I'm super setting about two tothree different workouts.
A day.
Or not a day, but at least fourdays out of the week.
Yesterday, for example, I workedon my traps.
I worked on some shoulders, Idid the cycle and I did some
abs, right?
And many times I'm just supersetting those workouts.
(37:41):
So if I'm doing legs, I may domy quads and my hamstrings.
Or maybe some calves and I'mjust, super setting it to save
as much time as possible.
I may do, let's just say eightto 12 reps for four sets each.
That way I can get at least 50reps in per workout.
(38:01):
And I'm just going through itreally quick.
So that helps me just at leastmaintain, it's not the best
workout in the world, but itallows me to maintain, and
that's just where I'm at in thisseason of my fitness.
Okay?
But that is a goal that I committo every single week.
One thing that, even posting onsocial media every week, like I
(38:22):
have at least the Breakfast Clubwhere I know every single
Tuesday I at least have theBreakfast Club.
Now, do I post every day onsocial media?
I don't.
Is it a goal of mine?
Absolutely.
But every time that I followthrough on posting content on
social media, again, it's amicro goal accomplished.
Okay.
Maybe the micro goal may doingsomething for my business for
(38:45):
the day, right?
Or whatever it is.
But you have to set micro goals.
Maybe it's spending time withyour kids, but having those
micro goals are essential andfollowing through because.
Nothing will build yourself-esteem more than following
through on your word, followingthrough on the things that you
set out to do.
Listen, discipline is the bridgeof, from that'll take you from
(39:08):
where you are to where you wannabe.
It is discipline.
Discipline, and I always saythat it's good to.
Really shift this mindset ofdiscipline.
Sometimes when you think ofdiscipline, you think of
something that's rigid, thingsthat you have to do as opposed
to things that you get to do.
So I, I always do my best tolook at discipline as lifestyle
(39:30):
choices.
And that's why the 21 to dos areessential because.
The 21 to-dos are really justlifestyle choices.
Like when you think about it forexample one of the 21 to-dos is
taking one hour a day of dreambuilding.
And dream building is that onehour that you dedicate to
whatever your dream is.
Maybe your dream is to become apodcaster and maybe that one
(39:53):
hour is putting together thatpodcast.
Maybe that one hour is reachingout to potential podcast guests
or doing some research orwhatever it is.
That's the one hour of dreambuilding, right?
And that's that the one thingfor the day you set out and you
commit to maybe your one hour ofdream building is reaching out
to that prospect, that potentialcustomer.
(40:16):
But you have to set those microgoals and follow through on it.
And the thing about it is youhave to plan out your week.
That's what calendaroptimization is all about.
And this week on Life Mastery,I'll be going over the best way
to structure your calendar.
For those of you who need thatreset one of the best things
that you can do is just plan outyour day for those micro goals.
(40:38):
Number four is rewrite yourstory.
Rewrite your story.
So you can have a journalprompt.
And maybe the journal prompt is,if I wasn't behind, what would I
believe about myself?
If I wasn't behind, what would Ibelieve about myself?
So maybe you're like, okay, hereI am.
(41:01):
I'm 40 years old and I've beenworking a career path that I'm
not fulfilled in.
And you have this feeling ofbeing behind.
You feel like you should havebeen way more ahead, but what if
you're just growing in theprocess?
What would you believe aboutyourself if you didn't believe
you were behind?
You would probably believesomething along the lines of,
(41:23):
you know what, like I'm justrunning my own race and I'm
just, building up myself for themeantime, or I'm just getting
myself prepared for when theopportunity presents itself.
Luck is really what luck is.
I remember hearing it years ago.
Luck is when preparation meetsopportunity.
So perhaps you just haven't comeacross that opportunity that was
(41:46):
specifically meant for you,right?
And you're just preparingyourself in the process.
So perhaps that's what it'sabout.
Maybe you're preparing yourselffor that soulmate, because let's
be real, how many people wantthat soulmate, but still have a
lot of work to do on themselves.
That's most people, they're justsimply not ready for the
(42:07):
relationship.
So that's another importantthing to understand.
Number five is practice.
Gratitude and visioning.
Gratitude and visioning.
So you wanna balance where youare, right?
You wanna balance where you arewith where you are going.
Gratitude grounds you and visionpulls you.
(42:29):
Okay.
Gratitude grounds you and avision pulls you.
So having gratitude just foryour respective journey, maybe
you probably have been feelingbehind, but what are some of the
good things about your life?
Maybe you're, you've got to doso many other things, right?
Because you put other aspects ofyour life on hold, right?
(42:51):
So what can you be grateful forin this season of your life?
Like the last six months, forexample.
I've just been, just workingright.
Laying a lot of foundation overthe last six months.
And for me, my gratitude will becentered around that.
My gratitude will be centeredaround, every week spending some
time with my family, right?
(43:11):
And having that core vision,that star and on life Mastery,
I'll be covering a lot on theNorth Star and what your
specific North Star is.
Having gratitude for where youare, but having a compelling
North star, that'll always bethat guiding light or that one
vision that will direct youevery single day and will help
(43:35):
you be a lot more intentional.
Okay, so again, the five actionsteps to get back into
alignment, we, number one, audityour current life.
Number two, turn off the noise.
Number three, set micro goals.
Number four, rewrite your story.
And number five, practicegratitude and visioning.
(43:56):
All right here's the, here'ssome great words of affirmations
or words of affirmation for youguys.
The first one is, I'm notbehind.
I'm becoming, I'm not behind.
I'm becoming.
Second great affirmation is I amexactly where I'm supposed to
be, right?
(44:16):
I'm exactly where I'm supposedto be.
What if you are exactly whereyou're supposed to be?
And you have no idea that'sactually the case, right?
What if you're not behind at alland you're exactly where you
should be?
And there's a lot of things thatare working themselves out.
You guys oftentimes hear me saythat God answers prayers in
three ways, and those three waysare, yes, not now.
(44:40):
Or, I've got something evenbetter.
Yes, not now, or I've gotsomething even better.
And from my personal experience,it's always been good to just
trust in that because it reducesthe anxiety and the overwhelm of
just not having it all together.
Okay.
And next we have, the lastaffirmation we have here is I
(45:04):
honor my pace and trust my path.
I honor my pace and trust mypath.
Okay, so today's breakfast clubsession.
Super short and straight to thepoint.
And if this episode resonatedwith you, maybe you have someone

(00:03):
hear.

hosting it for many years and.
Typically we bring in differentguests to share their expertise.
And it's essentially a holisticapproach to making your life
better.
So we cover all differentaspects of your life.

(00:45):
inspiration Facebook group.

you send me a dm.
That way I can add you.
And outside of that, we alsohave.
The 21 Days to Transformationchallenge getting kick started
here in two days.
On Thursday we'll bekickstarting our 21 Days to
Transformation Challenge.
(01:05):
For those of you.
Who are again, new to theBreakfast Club and you have no
idea what the 21 Days ofTransformation Challenge is.
This is basically it right here.
It is 21 to dos in 21 days.
So as you can see, it's prettymuch things that could
essentially make your lifebetter.
Let's just say.
(01:25):
For example you need to work ongetting more sleep.
One of 21 Seduces is getting aminimum of seven hours of sleep.
Also waking up at least 30minutes earlier, right?
With no snooze, different thingslike that.
Journaling going over yourcalendar.
For those of you who.
Need more planning no, nogossiping, complaining or
(01:46):
excuses.
Tidying up your space having aday of rest throughout the week,
all kinds of stuff.
The 21 to dos.
For those of you who've neverembarked on the 21 days of
transformation challenge, I canassure you right now, the 21 to
dos will definitely help youreset.
I know a lot of people are longoverdue for a reset.
Especially for those of youwho've been, setting those new
(02:09):
year resolutions and maybe youput the new year resolutions on
the back burner by the timeFebruary rolled around and you
need that reset.
The halfway point of the yearfor our community is typically a
great time to just resetyourself and get back on track
with everything that you'vebeen, putting on the back
burner.
With that being said we're aboutto.
(02:30):
Jump into today's main topic andbefore we do that, we have some
shares for you all.
So let's jump into the veryfirst share.
The first one is have aproactive day.
Have a proactive day.
Today summon one of the fourendowments.
And the four endowments areself-awareness conscience.
(02:53):
Independent will andimagination.
When you feel yourself becomingreactive, try to use each one
over the course of the day.
So ask yourself, what's going onin my life today that might
affect my proactivity?
Proactive people are thecreative force of their own
lives.
They choose their own way andtake responsibility for the
(03:15):
results.
Reactive people see themselvesas victims.
Here's a really great quote byStephen Covey.
Every human being has fourendowments, self-awareness,
conscience, independent will,and creative imagination.
This gives us the ultimate humanfreedom, the power to choose.
So this is from the Seven Habitsof Highly Effective People
(03:38):
flashcards.
And next up, we have, you arethe source of all your emotions.
At any moment, you can create orchange them.
So why don't we?
For most of us, feeling bad isnatural, yet we have to have a
reason to feel good.
But you don't need an excuse toallow yourself to feel good.
(03:58):
You can just decide to feel goodright now simply because you are
alive, simply because you wantto.
You don't have to wait foranything or anyone.
Really.
Great share.
And last but not least, we have,what's the best way to deal with
the negative emotions?
There are several commonineffective responses.
(04:20):
You can ignore your emotions.
Of course, they don't go away.
You can suppress them, but theyjust come out in some other way.
You can indulge in them and justfeel sorry for yourself.
That doesn't make anythingbetter.
You can try to compete by sayingyou think you've got it bad.
I've got it even worse.
Of course, the more intelligentthing is to transform them by
(04:42):
dealing effectively with thesituation, looking for solutions
and learning from and using youremotions to enhance your life
and the lives of all those youhave the privilege to touch.
So really great share and beforewe jump into.
Some more shares here.

Man, I'm excited for this weekbecause life Mastery is just a
great time to reflect on yourlife.
It's a great time to just getthat reset that you need.
(06:12):
It's a great time to, get backon track with I.
Everything that, that you needto get back on track with,
sometimes life is life and thenit gets really challenging, just
keeping up with it all.
And I know the Life MasteryHalftime event in particular is
just always just a great time toget yourself back in the game.
Let's see here.
(06:32):
We're about to jump into somemore shears.
Okay?
I have some life hacks for youguys.
Instead of going to dinner and amovie I.
Go to the movie first and thendinner this way.
At dinner, you have something totalk about.
So I know for me, dinner andmovies is like the ultimate date
night.
(06:52):
Like I love MA good movie andalso some good food.
We had some friends over for theweekend.
My best friend Lamar Thompsonmany of you know of him.
He travels all around the world.
You probably have seen him andhis wife, Vicki.
Traveling around the world withus.
And it's just been a great timejust doing life with them.
And for those of you who don'thave a core tribe, I definitely
(07:14):
recommend get yourself like agood solid core tribe of people
that you can travel with.
People who are equally yolkedpeople who are like-minded,
people who are just open-mindedeven to trying new things and
growing with you.
I can tell you right nowfriendships and relationships
have been one of the areas of mylife that has served me the
(07:36):
most.
And that was really cool because4th of July weekend my friends
Lamar and Vicki they flew downand we had a bunch of fun and we
were actually prepping for ourcreators conference.
We got to shoot a podcastepisode, create content.
And so much incredible things.
And shout out to Lamar andVicki.
I know they jump on theBreakfast Club from time to time
as well.
And find yourself some reallysolid friends.
(07:57):
That's really what I wanna leaveyou guys with because it's just,
it makes life so much betterwhen you have genuine people to
do life with.
And, it was pretty cool'causemy, my wife was with us and my
kids are actually they'respending their summer in The
Bahamas with my in-laws andtheir family out there.
And it is just a reallybeautiful thing to, to witness,
kids being able to just spendtime with their family.
(08:20):
I remember as a kid, just summerbreaks, is so exciting to.
Get around your cousins and allthat good stuff, but it also
freed up our time to be able todo some more things.
So it was really cool just beingable to hang out and just live a
I don't even know what to callit, but live life without having
to parent every single day.
And for those of you who areparents, you know exactly what
(08:42):
I'm talking about.
It is nice to get a break fromtime to time, but next life hack
we have is.
When nothing goes right, go tosleep.
Now, that's probably not gonnabe practical advice for every
single scenario, but.
I know that there's nothing agood nap can't handle.
Like after taking a good nap,sometimes you just need a reset.
(09:04):
Yesterday, it was just one ofthose challenging days for me,
and having just a, taking aquick nap, it always just helps
you reset.
And if you find yourself moodythroughout the day or you're
going through a very challengingcircumstance, if you have the
ability, just take a nap.
Go for a walk sometimes.
You're hungry and low on energyand don't even realize because
(09:24):
you're on adrenaline and getyourself a good meal.
Go for a walk, get some exerciseif you need to take some time
for some breathing exercises,whatever it is that you have to
do to get yourself reset.
But sometimes we just need thosesubtle reminders.
We need those reminders to, say,you know what, life has been
life in today, and it's beensuper challenging.
I've been going through itemotionally and it always helps
(09:47):
to just get that reset.
And maybe it's a nap.
Maybe it's getting yourselfhydrated because sometimes our
emotional flare ups a lot ofwhat contributes to that is just
dehydration and things likethat.
Just go a long way, right?
Like just the simple things thatwe tend to forget.
So let's jump into the meat andpotatoes of today's breakfast
(10:07):
club.
We have tons of food forthought, and I love those corny
no pun intended things to say.
And today my goal is really tohelp you guys reframe the
feeling of being behind and torecognize the illusion of
comparison and give youpractical tools to get back into
(10:29):
alignment.
With your own specifictimelines.
So I don't know about y'all, butI most certainly have had tons
and tons of moments throughoutmy life, just feeling behind.
And I know a lot of people canrelate to this, and that's why I
thought it was definitely areally great idea to just cover
this topic in particular becauseeven for those of you who are,
(10:52):
you know now, like halfwaythrough the year and you're
like, man, I'm so behind on allof my goals that I set early in
the year, and I see so manypeople on social media who are
just so ahead of me.
And maybe you feel that waywith, your career.
Maybe you feel that way withyour finances.
Maybe you feel that way with.
Your family life.
(11:12):
You haven't had, children yet,and you're like, man, I feel so,
so behind with life.
Or, it, we all tend to fall intothis trap of not feeling like
we're where we need to be.
And if you've ever felt thatway, if you guys don't mind drop
a one in the comments.
If you've ever felt like therewas a period of your life or
(11:33):
maybe even right now where youjust feel behind with so many
different things.
Sometimes it is like you mayfeel behind, but there are
moments where you really behind,like you may be behind on your
bills and you're like, Josh,like it ain't even a matter of
feeling behind.
I am behind on a lot of thingsright now.
You may be behind on your taxes,you may be behind on your bills
(11:54):
and all that stuff, and.
This Breakfast Club session isdefinitely going to be for you,
for those of you who feelbehind, and it's so important to
just make yourself or just notfall into the trap of comparing
yourself, because that's reallywhat all of this is rooted in.
We tend to just compareourselves, and in the world of
social media, there's thisphenomenon now where it's
(12:17):
referred to as relativedeprivation and relative
deprivation is.
When you're finding yourselfgetting depressed because you're
comparing yourself to everybodyelse.
Not realizing or just forgettingthat these people who post on
social media just post up theirhighlights.
They're not posting up like alot of the bad aspects of their
(12:39):
life or the aspects of the,their lives that aren't so
great, no one's just there justposting all of their problems on
social media.
Maybe some people, but for mostpeople, they're not posting all
of their problems on socialmedia.
And it's important to, toremember this because you're
just looking at a bunch ofhighlight reels, not realizing
that even for the people whoseem to have it all figured out.
(13:01):
Even myself, like I have tons ofthings that I deal with on an
everyday basis when it comes tolife and all kinds of
challenges, but you'll neverhear about it on social media.
So you have to be mindful ofthat, like just always falling
into the trap of comparingyourself.
Run your own race, run your ownrace.
(13:21):
That's one of the best thingsthat you can do on this journey.
Okay now have you ever looked atsomeone else's life and thought.
Wow.
I should be so much further bynow.
And if that's the case for you,then again today we're going to
be unpacking that sinkingfeeling of being behind and help
you rewrite the story you'vebeen telling yourself, because
(13:42):
that's really what it is.
You have this narrative in yourmind.
That, okay, it has to all beperfect or it has to fall in
this specific timeline.
I remember that was the case forme, like I wanted to be a
millionaire by 25, right?
I don't know who the hell liketold me that was like the
standard, but it's just aridiculous standard to set for
yourself, especially being thatby 25 years old you're still
(14:06):
like figuring yourself out.
And I remember just thinkingthat to myself.
And I remember one of thebusinesses that I was in the
early days.
I wanted to be at the very topof that business, not
understanding that there's aprocess.
There's a growth process thatalso has to happen internally
before reaching thesemilestones.
And oftentimes if you really gotyour goals in the timeline that
(14:28):
you want it, you won't becomethe person you need to be.
Because remember, success is notsomething you obtain.
Success is something you attractby the person you ultimately
become.
Understand that, and I'll saythat again.
For those of you in the back ofthe classroom, success is not
something you obtain.
It's something you attract bybecoming the person you need to
(14:49):
become.
That's really what it's about.
I remember Jim Rowan wouldoftentimes say that, don't
become a millionaire for thesake of.
Just getting money, like becomea millionaire.
You should wanna become amillion a millionaire because of
who you become in the process.
(15:10):
That's really the idea becausein order to even sustain a
million dollars, think about it.
Who do you have to become?
What kind of value do you haveto add to the world?
How responsible do you have tobe?
How disciplined do you have tobe?
How consistent you have to be inorder to make a million dollars?
So important to understand.
(15:30):
There's so many people out therethat they want to put the, the
cart before the horse, thecarriage before the horse, and
just not understanding thatthere's a process to this.
That's with anything you wannabecome successful in there.
There's a germination processthat has to take place where
you're becoming the person thatyou need to become in order to
(15:50):
have what it is that you want.
And typically things that youknow, let's just say things that
are great in life.
If you wanna be great,understand that there is a
capacity for responsibility thatyou have to have in order to
sustain that.
Any person of greatness has agreat capacity for what they can
be responsible for.
So now the first thing that youknow I think is a great aspect
(16:15):
of this to cover is the rootfeeling behind just not feeling
like you're doing things on theright timeline, right?
There's a root cause to that,and it often starts with
comparison.
So that can be on social media,that can be your peers.
That can be family expectations.
(16:37):
Maybe you're comparing yourselfto a sibling or someone in your
family that maybe they're makingthe six figure income.
Maybe they went to college rightout of high school and they went
to a good college and they wentand landed a really great career
right out of college.
And you're now comparingyourself to that.
Maybe your family had thesecrazy expectations for you to.
(16:57):
Take a specific path, and that'swhy you're feeling the way that
you feel, but you have toidentify what is the root cause
for you feeling like you'rebehind.
Okay?
Now understand we're also, mostof the time chasing timelines.
We never even agree to.
For example, you may have thistimeline where you are gonna be
(17:18):
married by 30 and have childrenby 30 years old.
Or a millionaire by 25 or 30, oryour dream life by 40, and
understand that this feeling isnot true, right?
It's a perception.
It's not necessarily true.
There's no rule book to say, oh,you have to have children.
(17:40):
All of your children by 30, oryou have to, have your house by
35.
There's no rule book per se.
It's just, you're like makingthese comparisons and looking at
everybody else's life andunderstand that you are not
behind.
You're just on a differentchapter than everyone else.
You're not behind.
(18:00):
There are so many stories ofreally incredible people that
they didn't have their breakawaysuccess until later on in life.
You look at people like forexample Gary v.
Gary Vaynerchuk, for those ofyou who know him, mega
influencer.
And he, at 30 years old, he wasstill working at his dad's
liquor store, right?
And today, the dude is making aquarter million dollars of
(18:24):
speech and has, companies thatare doing extremely well.
Is influencing millions ofpeople on a day-to-day basis.
And again, at 30 years old, hewas running his dad's liquor
store, right?
You look at people like ColonelSanders.
Colonel Sanders didn't reallytake off with KFC until his
(18:44):
sixties, right?
Warren Buffet didn't become abillionaire until after,
reaching his fifties.
Then there are tons and tons ofstories like this where people
had their breakaway successlater on in life.
I know people one of my reallygood friends just got married
now for the first time in herlife, in her fifties, right?
(19:05):
Imagine if she had all thepressure of just getting married
in her thirties.
Her life would look verydifferent today.
And she married her dream spouseright in her fifties.
There are people even decidingto have children in their
fifties.
There's so many options today,whether it's a, IIVF or IVF and
or surrogate or whatever youhave adoption, so many different
(19:27):
options today that you canchoose to even have children
later on in life.
So it's so important tounderstand that don't go on
anybody else's timeline.
You do what's right for you,right?
Because for example.
Today I look at a lot of peoplewho are my age, who are having
mega success, mega success.
(19:47):
A lot of some of my biggestinspirations today are, these
guys and gals that are killingit right now in their, some are
even early thirties.
And the thing about it is thatwhat I've noticed is many of
them.
Don't even have children.
And imagine if I was comparingmyself to people that don't have
(20:09):
any children that have theability to put in 70, 80, 90
hour work weeks.
Like I would be insane tocompare myself to someone that
doesn't have any children andthey could dedicate every ounce
of their being to their work.
So that's what I mean by runningyour own race.
I'm also married and there'sthose obligations and it's a
(20:32):
completely different ball game.
So I have to always remindmyself of that.
Hey your journey is completelydifferent than that other
person's journey.
Now when I'm like, let's justsay my kids are off to school
and now things really take offbecause my wife and I at that
point will be empty nesters andwe can dedicate a lot more time
(20:54):
to our work.
So again.
Everybody's path is different.
Now.
You may, let's just say, decideto have children in your forties
and then you slow down, right?
And maybe you dedicated yourtwenties and thirties to just
working all the time, and nowyou finally decide to settle
down and have a family.
So it really just depends.
(21:15):
It really just depends.
It's interesting because one ofthe things that I was talking
about with my friends Lamar andVicki, they're married they're
like mid thirties, no children,but they travel all around the
world and they have an amazinglifestyle and, their path was a
little bit opposite than ours.
Like now they're, finallydeciding to have children are
(21:36):
considered having children atthis stage, but.
I started at 25 having childrenand we just said, you know what,
let's knock'em out early.
And again, two completelydifferent life paths.
And it's not to say that one isbetter than the other.
You just have to make a decisionthat whatever timeline God has
in store for you, you, you goabout that timeline and you make
(21:59):
the most of it.
Okay, so next we have understandthat.
Everyone feels this way.
So for those of you who are likebeating up on yourself about
just feeling like you're behind,everybody feels that way to some
degree, and it may be differentfor some people.
For some people they may bethey're behind with their
(22:19):
finances.
For some people, they may feellike they're behind with their
careers, they're behind withentrepreneurship, they're behind
with building their brand,whatever it is.
Everybody can relate to this tosome degree, and that's why it
was important for me to, justmake it make this specific
session about this, becauseeverybody can relate to this.
(22:41):
Okay?
So even people who looksuccessful behind or they look
successful, let's say on socialmedia, behind the scenes in
other areas, they still feellike they're behind.
I know people who are killingit.
They may be 35, 40 and they'rekilling it with their careers.
They're killing it financially.
(23:01):
They're killing it with theirlifestyle, but they feel be
behind when it comes to likemarriage and family life.
So again just because someonehas it all figured out from a
success standpoint with theirfinances and career, they still
may feel behind with otherareas.
Okay.
So I know for me.
(23:22):
There have been moments whereyou know with, from a business
standpoint, I've felt behind,there have been moments from a
financial standpoint I've feltbehind in, in different areas.
There've been moments, even whenI got into podcasting, I felt
man, I should have been, startedpodcasting.
I was already doing thebreakfast club for years and I
could have very well hadembarked on podcasting.
(23:45):
A lot earlier.
But again the worst thing Icould have done at that point in
time is just have guilt or shameor just beat up on myself about
it.
There's no, no reason to beat upon myself about it, because at
the same time, there were otheraspects of life that I was
working on, right?
That, like working on my familylife or just even just working
(24:05):
on my health or working ondifferent areas of life.
Again.
Identify, okay, what are theareas that you may feel behind?
Because it may not even be yourwhole life.
It may just be one specificarea.
Maybe you're like, man, I'm hereI am, I'm in my forties and I
still haven't been married, andall of my siblings are married.
(24:26):
And here I am, like the onesibling that isn't married, or
the one sibling that you knowhasn't had children.
Listen there are other ways youcan make up for that.
I would hope that you're notjust dwelling on that one area
and really doubling down on yourstrengths, right?
Because there's a lot of thingsyou can do that maybe your
siblings can't, or maybe yourpeers can't.
(24:49):
Okay?
So super important to understandnow.
You never know who's quietlyrestarting their life while you
are comparing your chapter fourto their chapter 14.
You never know, and right now isa great opportunity to just
restart wherever you are,whatever area you feel be behind
(25:12):
in, it's a great opportunity torestart.
So here are three mindset shiftsto reset your specific timeline.
The very first one is reframethe timeline.
Super important to note now,whose clock are you living by?
Are you living by society'sclock?
Are you living by your family'sexpectations?
(25:34):
Is that the clock you'refollowing?
Whose clock is it that you'refollowing?
Is it your peers clock?
Most timelines are simply madeup.
Understand that success is notlinear.
You have to shift from deadlinesto direction, okay?
You have to shift from deadlinesto direction.
You don't have to operate onanyone's clock, and especially
(25:56):
in today's day and age, theworld is so different.
It's no longer like the, let'sjust say the typical American
dream, I think that we had gotcaught up on or just sold on
this American dream for so manyyears that it's like expected of
us to just follow this specifictimeline, right?
(26:16):
You go to school, get the goodgrades so you can get the good
job.
Then you get this good job andthen you work the 40 40 plan,
right?
You work 40 hours a week for 40years of your life with this one
specific company.
You buy the big house with thewhite picket fence.
You got the two cars and the twoand a half kids and all of this
stuff, and you're married.
And listen, that is definitelyno longer the American dream.
(26:39):
It's it, that world is no longerapplicable to today's day and
age, right?
It's just not.
How do I know that?
Because, think about it.
The average person, especiallyin America today, is probably
going to work for at least eightdifferent companies in their
lifetime.
A lot of companies just come andgo.
(27:00):
It's no longer where you workfor a company for 40 years of
your life and retire and getyour gold watch and sail off
into the sunset.
It's no longer the case.
The technology the rapidtransformation of technology is
happening so fast thatindustries are emerging out of
(27:20):
nowhere.
Jobs and com, like entiredepartments of companies.
Are completely being eradicatedbecause of technology like AI
and automation and so manydifferent things.
So that's a big reason why it'sjust a completely different
world.
Another thing is education is alot more accessible than it was
(27:41):
in the early days.
Today you can go right onYouTube and pretty much learn
whatever it is that you need tolearn.
Also, you have so much access toonline learning.
You have AI that could assistyou in learning a lot of things
or could even draft up abusiness plan for you.
So many things that, that, thatare different today than, the
(28:02):
way our grandparents had it, oreven our parents the way they
had it just a few years ago.
Okay?
So understand that we are oncompletely different timelines
than the generation before.
Here's another thing.
This is another great mindsetshift to reset your timeline,
and that is progress overperfection.
(28:23):
Really what we're pursuing isjust this path of perfection,
and really it's about progressover perfection.
Perfection is an illusion,right?
You're never gonna have it alltogether because there are a lot
of things that are outside ofyour control.
For example, you can't control.
Whoever you end up with, per se,like you can control who you
(28:44):
choose to be with, but you can'tcontrol whether or not someone
is going to want to stick it outwith you in a relationship.
You can't control whether or notthat company is going to keep
you on long term.
You can't always control thesethings.
You can't always control what,what's happening in the economy.
You can't control it at all.
(29:05):
So rather than aspiring forperfection, just set a goal to
always pursue progress overperfection.
It's a much better mindset tohave and also know that you are
not behind if you're stillmoving forward.
Celebrate those small wins.
They compound over time.
(29:27):
So as long as you're movingforward, that's the idea.
If you're not growing, you'redying.
That's just universal law.
You're either in a state ofgrowth or you're in a state of
decay.
There's no such thing as aplateau when it comes to just
the way the universe works.
You're either growing or you'redying, right?
As long as you're moving forwardwith whatever it is that you are
(29:49):
working on, even if all you getis an inch for the day, guess
what?
It's an inch closer to the goalline.
Here's another mindset shift.
That's purpose over pressure.
So many of us put so muchpressure on ourselves to meet
these timelines in our lives.
Or maybe you have that annoying,let not say annoying parent and
(30:09):
be savage here, but you havethat one parent that's
constantly nagging you.
When are you gonna gimme grandbabies?
Or when are you gonna do this?
Or when are you going to dothat?
Listen.
It's purpose over pressure.
It's what's right for you.
The only person that can trulydictate what's right for you is
you, nobody else can.
It's your life to live.
You were gifted this life, andyou get to decide exactly what
(30:31):
you want to do with your lifeand how you wanna live your
life.
And also understand that whenyou stop performing for approval
and start aligning with purpose,you stop feeling like you are
running out of time.
That's what it's about.
It's letting go of thisperformance for approval, this
(30:53):
performance of perfection,right?
It's just not sustainable overtime and you have to align
yourself with purpose.
Okay?
Now here are five action stepsto get yourself back into
alignment.
Number one.
And take notes.
Take notes as if you're gonnahave to teach this.
As you guys oftentimes hear mesay, the weakest ink is stronger
(31:17):
than the strongest memory.
So take notes on all of thisdifferent stuff because it will
most certainly help you justkickstart this second half of
2025.
All right.
I don't know about y'all, butI'm definitely long overdue for
a reset this year.
The, these last couple ofmonths.
It's just been work for the mostpart, working and just laying a
(31:37):
foundation.
But I know for me, I mostcertainly, I'm overdue for a
reset.
And here's five action steps toget yourself back into
alignment.
Again, this Thursday, 7:00 PMEastern Standard Time.
I'll be sharing the links, onsocial media and all that stuff.
So just follow me on socialmedia.
(31:58):
You can find me at the WorldTraveler.
For those of you who don't findme on Instagram or just look me
up online, I'll be sharing.
Information on this week's LifeMastery event which is free for
everyone.
We also have a VIP option aswell.
That comes with a complimentarycoaching session and then the 21
Days to transformationChallenge.
For those of you who don't know,we also have a digital course.
(32:20):
We have two ways of.
Doing the digital course, youcan have the course alone.
So we, you can purchase thecourse alone or you can get the
course with one month ofcoaching.
If that interests you forwhatever reason just dm me the
word coach, and I'll be morethan happy to send you over some
information on that as well.
Okay.
So here we go.
(32:40):
Five action steps to get backinto alignment.
Number one, audit your currentlife.
Audit your current life.
Ask yourself what's going andwhat no longer feels aligned.
So think about that.
What's going well in your life?
Maybe it's your health, maybeit's your relationship.
(33:01):
Maybe it's your social life.
You guys will see on LifeMastery, I'll cover a lot of the
different categories of yourlife.
So it may be finances, it may beyour personal development, it
may be the level ofcontribution.
That you're operating at or thecontribution that you're
providing the world, it may belet's just say it could be
anything.
It could be your purpose, butwhat's going well in your life
(33:24):
and what no longer feelsaligned.
So maybe that job no longerfeels aligned, maybe the way
you've been living, maybe thatrelationship.
No longer feels aligned.
Maybe the friends you've beenkeeping in your life or the
associations, the environmentyou, the environments you've
been entertaining, right?
(33:45):
Those things no longer feelaligned, but this is a great
time of the year to just do thatself inventory, take self
inventory of the relationshipsthat you have, the environments
that you're in, the way you'vebeen living, your lifestyle, all
of that.
And really identify what's goingand what no longer feels
aligned.
(34:06):
Secondly, the second action stepis turn off the noise.
Turn off the noise.
Maybe you have to take atemporary break on social media
and do a social media detox oreven unfollow accounts that
trigger comparison.
Maybe they trigger justanything, right?
Like maybe you have people onyour.
(34:27):
Social media that every time youlook at their life, and it's
just like it, it triggerssomething inside of you.
Listen, guess what?
There's a mute option on socialmedia.
You don't necessarily have tounfollow them or block them, but
you could just mute them, right?
And perhaps that's what you haveto do.
Or just detox from social mediaaltogether.
I have tons of friends that theyjust take a break from it for a
(34:49):
while, and it's one of the bestthings that you can do for your
mental health.
For those of you who've beenstruggling with your mental
health, ask yourself.
Has you comparing yourself toother people on social media,
has that been contributing toanything that you've been
battling with your mentalhealth?
You constantly comparingyourself to, again, a facade,
(35:10):
right?
People are many times they don'tactually live the way they're
portraying themselves on socialmedia.
So it's always essential toremind yourself of that.
Okay?
But maybe you need a break andyou have to turn off the noise.
You have to reconnect withyourself.
Go out in nature, right?
Just get off of the social mediaaltogether.
(35:31):
Unplug the television,deactivate your Netflix account
or your Hulu account or anythingthat you've been dedicating a
lot of time to on things thatdon't serve you.
Think about this.
How much more time would youhave?
The average person spends overtwo hours a day on social media.
The average person spendsprobably over two hours a day
(35:54):
just watching television orwatching things on, just on
shows or reality tv, whatever itis.
What if you just eliminated thatfor 21 days?
You just dedicated your time tomaybe writing that book,
creating the content that youneed to create for that business
project that you're working on,whatever it's, maybe it's
(36:14):
building your brand, but whatcan you dedicate more time to by
eliminating certain things inyour life?
Number three is set micro goals.
So what's one thing you can dothis week to feel proud of
yourself?
Maybe your micro goals are the21 to-dos.
Maybe your micro goal is hiringthat personal trainer.
(36:37):
Maybe your micro goal is gettingthat coach for the next 21 days.
Maybe your micro goal is postingconsistently on social media.
For those of you who arebuilding brands on social media,
maybe that's what your microgoal is, but set some micro
goals throughout the year.
Listen, if you've been lackinghappiness in your life, one, one
(36:57):
thing that I know for a fact isthat you'll be a lot more happy.
When you're setting goals andaccomplishing your goals when
you're following through on yourgoals.
Yesterday, for example, like oneof my goals for the week is to
work out for at least four daysout of the week.
That's one of my goals, andthey're not crazy.
Two hour workouts a day, likemost of the time.
(37:20):
My, my gym sessions, I would saysession.
I'm super setting about two tothree different workouts.
A day.
Or not a day, but at least fourdays out of the week.
Yesterday, for example, I workedon my traps.
I worked on some shoulders, Idid the cycle and I did some
abs, right?
And many times I'm just supersetting those workouts.
(37:41):
So if I'm doing legs, I may domy quads and my hamstrings.
Or maybe some calves and I'mjust, super setting it to save
as much time as possible.
I may do, let's just say eightto 12 reps for four sets each.
That way I can get at least 50reps in per workout.
(38:01):
And I'm just going through itreally quick.
So that helps me just at leastmaintain, it's not the best
workout in the world, but itallows me to maintain, and
that's just where I'm at in thisseason of my fitness.
Okay?
But that is a goal that I committo every single week.
One thing that, even posting onsocial media every week, like I
(38:22):
have at least the Breakfast Clubwhere I know every single
Tuesday I at least have theBreakfast Club.
Now, do I post every day onsocial media?
I don't.
Is it a goal of mine?
Absolutely.
But every time that I followthrough on posting content on
social media, again, it's amicro goal accomplished.
Okay.
Maybe the micro goal may doingsomething for my business for
(38:45):
the day, right?
Or whatever it is.
But you have to set micro goals.
Maybe it's spending time withyour kids, but having those
micro goals are essential andfollowing through because.
Nothing will build yourself-esteem more than following
through on your word, followingthrough on the things that you
set out to do.
Listen, discipline is the bridgeof, from that'll take you from
(39:08):
where you are to where you wannabe.
It is discipline.
Discipline, and I always saythat it's good to.
Really shift this mindset ofdiscipline.
Sometimes when you think ofdiscipline, you think of
something that's rigid, thingsthat you have to do as opposed
to things that you get to do.
So I, I always do my best tolook at discipline as lifestyle
(39:30):
choices.
And that's why the 21 to dos areessential because.
The 21 to-dos are really justlifestyle choices.
Like when you think about it forexample one of the 21 to-dos is
taking one hour a day of dreambuilding.
And dream building is that onehour that you dedicate to
whatever your dream is.
Maybe your dream is to become apodcaster and maybe that one
(39:53):
hour is putting together thatpodcast.
Maybe that one hour is reachingout to potential podcast guests
or doing some research orwhatever it is.
That's the one hour of dreambuilding, right?
And that's that the one thingfor the day you set out and you
commit to maybe your one hour ofdream building is reaching out
to that prospect, that potentialcustomer.
(40:16):
But you have to set those microgoals and follow through on it.
And the thing about it is youhave to plan out your week.
That's what calendaroptimization is all about.
And this week on Life Mastery,I'll be going over the best way
to structure your calendar.
For those of you who need thatreset one of the best things
that you can do is just plan outyour day for those micro goals.
(40:38):
Number four is rewrite yourstory.
Rewrite your story.
So you can have a journalprompt.
And maybe the journal prompt is,if I wasn't behind, what would I
believe about myself?
If I wasn't behind, what would Ibelieve about myself?
So maybe you're like, okay, hereI am.
(41:01):
I'm 40 years old and I've beenworking a career path that I'm
not fulfilled in.
And you have this feeling ofbeing behind.
You feel like you should havebeen way more ahead, but what if
you're just growing in theprocess?
What would you believe aboutyourself if you didn't believe
you were behind?
You would probably believesomething along the lines of,
(41:23):
you know what, like I'm justrunning my own race and I'm
just, building up myself for themeantime, or I'm just getting
myself prepared for when theopportunity presents itself.
Luck is really what luck is.
I remember hearing it years ago.
Luck is when preparation meetsopportunity.
So perhaps you just haven't comeacross that opportunity that was
(41:46):
specifically meant for you,right?
And you're just preparingyourself in the process.
So perhaps that's what it'sabout.
Maybe you're preparing yourselffor that soulmate, because let's
be real, how many people wantthat soulmate, but still have a
lot of work to do on themselves.
That's most people, they're justsimply not ready for the
(42:07):
relationship.
So that's another importantthing to understand.
Number five is practice.
Gratitude and visioning.
Gratitude and visioning.
So you wanna balance where youare, right?
You wanna balance where you arewith where you are going.
Gratitude grounds you and visionpulls you.
(42:29):
Okay.
Gratitude grounds you and avision pulls you.
So having gratitude just foryour respective journey, maybe
you probably have been feelingbehind, but what are some of the
good things about your life?
Maybe you're, you've got to doso many other things, right?
Because you put other aspects ofyour life on hold, right?
(42:51):
So what can you be grateful forin this season of your life?
Like the last six months, forexample.
I've just been, just workingright.
Laying a lot of foundation overthe last six months.
And for me, my gratitude will becentered around that.
My gratitude will be centeredaround, every week spending some
time with my family, right?
(43:11):
And having that core vision,that star and on life Mastery,
I'll be covering a lot on theNorth Star and what your
specific North Star is.
Having gratitude for where youare, but having a compelling
North star, that'll always bethat guiding light or that one
vision that will direct youevery single day and will help
(43:35):
you be a lot more intentional.
Okay, so again, the five actionsteps to get back into
alignment, we, number one, audityour current life.
Number two, turn off the noise.
Number three, set micro goals.
Number four, rewrite your story.
And number five, practicegratitude and visioning.
(43:56):
All right here's the, here'ssome great words of affirmations
or words of affirmation for youguys.
The first one is, I'm notbehind.
I'm becoming, I'm not behind.
I'm becoming.
Second great affirmation is I amexactly where I'm supposed to
be, right?
(44:16):
I'm exactly where I'm supposedto be.
What if you are exactly whereyou're supposed to be?
And you have no idea that'sactually the case, right?
What if you're not behind at alland you're exactly where you
should be?
And there's a lot of things thatare working themselves out.
You guys oftentimes hear me saythat God answers prayers in
three ways, and those three waysare, yes, not now.
(44:40):
Or, I've got something evenbetter.
Yes, not now, or I've gotsomething even better.
And from my personal experience,it's always been good to just
trust in that because it reducesthe anxiety and the overwhelm of
just not having it all together.
Okay.
And next we have, the lastaffirmation we have here is I
(45:04):
honor my pace and trust my path.
I honor my pace and trust mypath.
