The Key to Growth is ...

All the same feelings you have, you.

Would think someone who gets successful, the.

Problems go away and the worries go away. They don't. What they do is you learn to deal with bigger problems, you learn to handle bigger responsibilities, and you become a.

Better version of you. Don't wish for things to get easier. Wish for you and work hard to get better. When the outside world is out of control, we need a place to be plugged in so we can find inner control, inner strength. When the world is seeing obstacles, we need to see opportunity. The only person you have to be better than is the person you were last week, last month, last year. Let regrets go. Let them burn down in the previous year. Let hesitation, let procrastination, let imposter syndrome burn down and realize we all get to start fresh today. We can't rewrite the past, we can't predict the future, but we can take ownership of our actions today. So we create a culture of purpose, progress, of just moving forward at your pace when you doubt yourself, Move forward when your mind tells you we can't do this. Move forward when you're feeling a little off. Come back to this amazing community and get the support of friends. And I know it sounds crazy, people use this word lightly, but come back to this family. And also, I love sharing the word uncomfortable action because usually when we take action into something new, it is uncomfortable. And if it feels uncomfortable, congratulations, you're.

On the right track.

Okay, today, busy weekend. I had business mastery with Tony, but I got to do that virtually. But more important, I am at a mastermind. Hence, we own mastermind.com because masterminds have changed my life more than any other.

One thing.

My hands get a little tired here, so I'm gonna switch. And hence why we own it.

That's why we love this company. It's the collectiveness. Mastermind was described by Napoleon Hill is two or more minds coming together and.

Creating one smarter version. And man, man, man, women. You know, really, it is the biggest game changer in my life. Now I don't get to do it as much as I used to multiple times a year. I used to do it almost every month. But I'm up here with people you'd know. It's a small group of people where we come together and all share our greatest experiences, our greatest breakthroughs, how we impact people the most. We also come here and share our biggest challenges or opportunities, and we help each other through them. Some of the people that I've spent the last two days were, and maybe you know them, Brandon Burchard, Ed Milette, Trent Shelton, Jenna Kutcher. The list goes on. Dave Hollis, Lewis Howes, Tom Bilyeux. The list goes on. It's a group that we've been getting.

Together for six years now. And why am I telling you? I'm not telling you to brag. You know, that's not my personality. What I'm telling you is the benefit of staying connected to people who have.

The same dreams as you, the same goals as you.

And the reason I'm sharing this is because you would never believe the success that people had in that room while simultaneously would never believe that they still deal with the same human condition, the same worries, the same question questions, the same feeling of imposter syndrome. The same feeling, am I focusing too.

Much on my business and ignoring my.

Family, or am I ignoring my family.

Too much and not going all in on business?

The feeling of not being good enough when I'm trying to go to the next level.

I want to get to your level.

And I don't know if I have the capabilities. And what if no one believes all the same feelings you have? You would think someone who gets successful, the problems go away and the worries go away. They don't. What they do is you learn to deal with bigger problems, you learn to handle bigger responsibilities and you become a better version of you.

Don't wish for things to get easier, wish for you and work hard to get better. And I just. The reason I'm sharing this today is because in my heart I want you to hear this. The group that I was around, you would know. Jamie Kern Lima was there. My brain's going flat here, but so many, just probably the top influencers you follow in the world. About 30 of us get together several times a year and just pour out our hearts. There's tears, there's. I'm stuck. I work so hard, I'm losing my marriage or I feel disconnected to my kids. The human condition is real. Whether you're broke and wishing or struggling to start or you got started and you're going to the next level, know that it's there and know that it's worth it. Because that human condition, whatever you want to call it, life is going to happen. No matter what struggles are going to happen, no matter what you're going to question yourself. No matter what people are going to. You're going to lose friends because you are the dreamer who's going after it and they're not willing to do it. That's going to happen. You're going to feel yourself Dim your glow for other people and then one day go, I am not turning myself down anymore. For others, I am going to shine. And if they don't like it, let the brightness burn them off. If not, the brightness will bring them towards me.

All those things happen at every single level. So if it's going to happen, no matter what, my little shout out today is, why not go all in? We're going to deal with this stuff anyway. We might as well go after our dreams. We might as well tap into our full potential. We might as well fall in love with our future. We might as well take that uncomfortable action and be an incredible culture of progress.

The next thing I want to tell you is that collectiveness of being around people. And I'm sorry if the wind is making this hard to hear me. That collectiveness of being around like minded people to. To not feel crazy for wanting more, to going after, to starting new again. To start. You know, sometimes we're just scared to start small. If all those feelings, if you're in a shell, if you're in a cocoon by yourself, they can get overwhelming and they can make you do that one thing that will stop you for sure, it's quitting, right? You know, I love Ogmundino's quote, I will persist until I succeed. Persist means if you persist, you will absolutely succeed. It's the only guarantee in life. And. And if you quit, that's the other guarantee that it will not work out. So stay connected. This is a mini mastermind, staying a part of this community, a mastermind. Find a way to get in proximity of people around you, that support you, that have the same dreams, that have the same goals, that are also dreamers. Because then you don't realize in a.

Room like this, the transformations, the tears. Yesterday There was tears 10 different times yesterday. People at a certain level and they felt stuck. And they got one thing from somebody, maybe at lunch, the person sitting next to them or. Or somebody presenting that they saw their bigger future, the breakthrough happened like that. So stay connected, stay a part of.

Something bigger than yourself. Staying in proximity, get a coach, whatever it takes to feel like you're connected and not alone. Because when you feel a part of something bigger, you're not alone. And you realize you could do this. And all the same fears, worries, goals, dreams, desires, hesitation, stress that you feel. Everyone feels it, every level. So if you're going to feel it, I know I'm repeating myself, then you might as well go after. Last thing I would love below. Do this for me. Are you Already in business. Are you already in business and making.

Money in this business or any business? If you put below I'm in, then I want to challenge you to get one person in that phase that's already in business, right? Of course we'd love to work with your coach. We have all kinds of great tools to help you. But if you're in business already generating money in whatever business you're in, self education or your current business you're transitioning, put it below I'm in business. And then start thinking, who in my life, who around me in proximity, who's already in business around my level that I can meet with once a month and share my best ideas or share my biggest challenges. Now, if you're not in business, it's like I'm starting, right? Put that below I'm starting. Then find someone else who's starting, who has the same fears, the same worries and get somebody that's accountable. This is how you start the transition of having a different set, a different set of people in your life, People that cheer you on, people who champion you, not condemn you. So below, I'm in business if you're in business making money, but I'm in business and find somebody at that level.

If you're just starting and you're making.

10 grand a month, 5 grand a month, thousand a month, or if you're making 100 grand a month, find somebody in a similar place and lock in a once a month meeting. Could be zoom. If you're just starting, do the same thing and see that you're not crazy, that 2 is better than 1,5000 is better than 1. I appreciate you so much. Let me know below and then go to work. Gotta love masterminds.

See ya, Sam.
