Why Energy Is the Secret Weapon of High Achievers

“Stop Negotiating With Yourself” What if the biggest thing holding you back isn’t the world—but the deal you keep cutting with yourself? In this episode, I get real about the mindset gap between average and extraordinary. It’s not about tactics or hacks—it’s energy. The truth is, the most successful people I know are fueled by something different. They’re in a bigger hurry. They bring a different intensity. They don’t just react to life—they use it. Pain, doubt, rejection—it’s all fuel. And if you’re ready to go to the next level, it’s time to stop letting life happen to you and start making it happen because of you. This is a wake-up call. Your energy is either lifting people or leaving them cold. Your pace is either moving the needle or stalling your dreams. The world doesn’t reward the most prepared—it rewards the ones who show up with presence, urgency, and an unshakable belief in who they can become. You’re not here to conform. You’re here to compete—to fight for your future and prove yourself right. I’m challenging you today. Raise your standard. Compete harder. Delay gratification. Move faster. And for the love of God, stop negotiating with the greatest version of you. Because that version? They’re waiting for you to finally act like the person you were born to be. Key Takeaways: Why energy—not strategy—is the real game changer How to use adversity as fuel, not an excuse The dangers of negotiating with yourself Why urgency and delayed gratification go hand in hand What it really means to be “unreasonable” in pursuit of greatness The one mindset shift that separates the average from the elite You weren’t born to live a clearance-rack life. You were born to max out. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈   → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ←  ➡️ INSTAGRAM   ➡️FACEBOOK   ➡️ LINKEDIN   ➡️ X / TWITTER   ➡️ WEBSITE    Learn more about your ad choices.
