Every kid has dreamed of super-human powers. Do you remember yours? However fanciful those superpowers may have been, there’s a particular genre of superheroes that I think actually has some truth to it. Let me tell you what I mean.

There is one thing, and one thing only, standing between you and the breakthrough results you want to achieve. You probably already know what that one thing is…

I couldn’t find any races locally so I made my own and affectionately named it the Hawkins Classic Century Ride. Now, you might be wondering, why did I just up and ride 100 miles?

Can you imagine saying no to revenue? It doesn’t sound right, does it? Ironically enough, that’s exactly what might be necessary to set you and your business up to achieve success.

The classic “your truth” from just about every coach out there is a false idol and will inevitably steer you wrong, in business and in life…

Hunting discomfort is critical to preparing a successful TED talk, even more so after you’re accepted. And with how exclusive TED talks are to give…

Transformative growth isn’t something that you can just do. If you could, wouldn’t you have done it already? As it turns out, we’ve been going about growth and transformation exactly backwards: just trying to get somewhere or arrive at some result… What any of us is trying to achieve is available to all of us right now, under any circumstances, ironically though, it just doesn’t happen by only working on the goal itself. Breakthroughs ONLY happen by having the right 5 culture systems in place.

Putting something at risk as a leader not only drives your performance, it can dramatically impact the performance of others.

Constant awareness of where you are combined with an ever-growing mindset is a necessary balancing act.

Have you ever taken a moment to think about why you’re doing what you’re doing? I mean, who it’s actually for, who you are serving? And who do you have around you that you can trust?

Instead of getting stalled out, instead of being stopped by legal, financial or any other limits, use your limits to create breakthrough results.

You have a long way to go to make the impact, money and legacy you want to. Am I right? And you won’t get there thinking your’re anything less than perfect.
