Mastery

Being able to spend time with so many different leaders from so many different industries in the last 3 years has been life changing. Directly and vicariously I've been able to learn and observe the common threads that make a great leader and in this video I talk about a quality that's sometimes overlooked. 

Getting to know yourself better

It's not too late..

I keep hearing people tell me it's too late? I think unless you are on your death bed and ready to go, you still have time. It really all comes down to your perspective and how you look at things. This is a message I really want to share, after I changed my perspective it's helped me so much! 

What will you try next? 

5 ways to keep motivated

Overall as an individual I wake up most days feeling pretty motivated and inspired to give my all. I've spent a bit of time looking at my traits and behaviours and I've realised that there's nothing special about me it's just that I have these 5 things in my life to thank! 

Tell me, what keeps your motivated?

Try - Win/Lost - Rinse - Repeat

Many of the people that inspire me talk about this and now I see it everywhere in all the successful people and businesses that I cross paths with. Trial and error is a critical process to understand and make common practice ;)

Time management & productivity?

I've started to go on a bit of a health rage lately, I've realised how important it is in the last 6 months and really want to get on top of it! There are so many benefits to reap when you start to look after your health :) Sounds logical but boy is it hard to stick to a good health plan. I don't think I've ever been more productive in my life!

I will keep falling off this horse, but I will always get back on it :)

What is your Story?

Many of you may have noticed that in the last 12 months I've been exploring with video quite a lot! I have believed for a long time that video is the key that can help you take your business to the next level. Marketing has changed and we need to adjust.

There's never been a better time to get into video for your business or personal brand. If you have been thinking about getting video work done, don't put it off any longer! Start 2017 with stories that will help amplify thebest parts of you and your business. I've been able to build a global business from using video online.

So... What's your story?

Build your army

A great lesson that has helped me build the army that I have today, I love this metaphor! Nowadays I travel quite a lot and I have quite a bit of time on the plane, in the last 3 years I've read more books than I have ever read in my entire life. There's definitely been a correlation between the number of books I've read and the progression in my career and personal life. I just always think to the knowledge contained in these books and it gets me so excited! 

So audit yourself for a second, how many soldiers do you have? Do you need more?

What's your legacy?

This is a question I've been asking myself more and more as I get older. It's a hard one to answer but I am slowly working it out with each day that passes! A lot of the times life can get a little monotonous and stale, but when you get started thinking about your legacy.. it gets exciting!

Don't ever give up on your dreams - fight for it and protect it.

So excited!!! I just got selected as a speaker to speak at INBOUND 2016 in Boston later this year!!! Some of my biggest idols will be on stage there!! Just to name one.. Gary Vaynerchu!! 

Many of you may not know but I  started my speaking career about 3 years ago, I started speaking in schools and rotary clubs in my home town of Adelaide, South Australia. I had a big dream for a small town guy but I was relentless about my dream, I realised early on that if I had a dream I had to protect it with everything that I had. 

Massive win!

There will be people who won't understand your dream and will without knowing tread on your dreams (again not intentionally but they just won't understand how much you love what you love). Your dream that you have for you is precious, guard it, protect it, don't let anyone destroy it. We all have a dream we are holding onto inside, you may have buried it really deep within you because someone you love and trust told you it wasn't possible. Please don't give up on it. 

I'm not saying drop everything and chase your dreams but just do a little bit of it. When I wanted to become a speaker, I didn't just drop everything in my life and just spoke (I couldn't do that I wasn't getting paid as a speaker when I started). I just spoke on the weekends and once a week for the local schools. Being able do what I love just on the weekends brought me so much joy! Even when I wasn't being paid! I LOVED EVERY MOMENT. 

What ever your dream, just start doing a little bit of it every week. What ever you do, don't give up on it completely, I see so many people who are feeling mellow and sad in the world we live in today and I believe it's because they've let go of what they love most. They've let go of their dreams. 

Just do a little every week and play the long term game. You'll get there! If a bogan like me can do it, you can too :P
