Ridicule is the price of iconic. As you start to install the rituals and the routines, as you start to adopt the mindsets, the heart sets, the health sets and the soul sets, we will share with you. You are going to divorce yourself from the crowd. Because heroism, leadership, legendary is a heroic act and it's a disruptive act. Most people are addicted to distraction. Most people are playing a victim. Most people watch TV all day long. Most people are addicted to and medicating themselves by technology. Most people are complaining. Most people are stuck in the past. Most people don't know vision of their future. Most people are not in world class fitness. Most people are not working on their interior empire which is the seat of exterior empire. Most people are not in the game to change the world while creating a world class life for the people they love. So when you adopt these ideas and walk out into the world, you are going to be met by the naysayers, the critics. They are to laugh at you. Your job is to fortify your interior core by the things that I share with you. So that when they shoot you bullets, you take the stones that your critics throw at you and you use them to construct monuments of mastery, audacity, creativity, productivity, prosperity and influence on the world.
