654. Jesse Itzler's Approach to Making a Contract with Yourself

Most entrepreneurs spend their lives signing contracts with clients, vendors, and partners. But few ever sign the most important one: a contract with themselves.

In today’s episode, Brian Gubernick shares a powerful lesson from Jesse Itzler’s book Living with the Monks: how writing a personal contract can bring clarity, discipline, and daily direction. This isn’t about business terms, it’s about who you commit to being before the day begins.

Brian unpacks how this simple practice flips the script from living reactively to living intentionally. You’ll learn how to write your own self-contract - anchored in your values and relationships - and use it as a daily filter for decisions, leadership, and behavior.

When you define who you are before the world tells you who to be, you stop living by accident.
