Gametime (audio) With Andy Zitzmann

Just like Joseph, YOU have a dream or a BIG GOAL. And like Joseph, YOU CAN take on that goal AND ACHIEVE that goal... one bite-sized CHUNK at a time. Don't SUNK IT... CHUNK IT... and make your dream come true!

Write down that BIG ASS, AUDACIOUS, JUICY, EXCITING, MEANINGFUL, FULFILLING Dream, Goal or Desire. Then write down 10 things, ways, and/or resources that you can leverage to get started. It may just become clear thatIT IS MORE DOABLE than you think! Open up, Discover what is possible for you... THINK BIG... AIM HIGH... and JUST TRY!

Your goals are your dreams and your dreams are your goals. If you have them, they can come true and change the next 5 years of your life for the better. AND... if you write them down, you enter the mere 4% of humans who actually take the time to write them down. Did you know that people who write down their goals actually earn nine times as much over their lifetime as the people who don't?!?! Fewer than 1% actually review their goals and update/adjust on an ongoing basis. It seems fairly simple: want a better life? Create goals, create new dreams, write them down and revisit them often! As the book states, "Don't Just Think It --- Ink It!" Goals + Dreams + Written Down = Champion... GAMETIME!

As this book suggests, "Choose Your Mission. (Your life is worth a noble motive!)" Here's a quick guide to help you write your personal mission statement: "There's no specific format for writing your personal mission statement - only you will know how to write it - but try to keep it clear, brief and exciting. Just ask yourself, "What is my calling, my life's aim? What inspires me the most? What activity or service is my core values urging me to pursue?" Answer those questions, Write your mission statement and LIVE YOUR LIFE ON PURPOSE!

If Colubus COULD discover a whole new world in just 5 years... If Michaeleangelo COULD paint the Sistine Chapel in just under 5 years...    If Shakespeare COULD write "Hamlet," "Othello," "King Lear," MacBeth," & 5 other immortal Plays in less than 5 years...    If Jeff Bezos, CEO and Founder of Amazon, COULD go from a 500 square foot apartment to a Net Worth of over $10 Billion...    What COULD YOU do in the next 5 years???    Brainstorm the possibilities, Decide on one thing, and Strategize how to get there... and YOU WILL MAKE THE NEXT 5 YEARS YOUR BEST YET! 

An excerpt from the book and simple math equation to help you gauge how many days you "probably" have left.  WHERE ARE YOU on your journey?  1.) Get out a pencil & do the math.  2.) Multiply your age x 365 days. (That will give you your current age in days.)  3.) Subtract that number from 27,375 days. (That's the average life-span of a human these days.)   The number that remains is the amount of days you "probably" have left. Leverage that number to remember that your days are "numbered" & TOMORROW is NOT GUARANTEED!  Step Up and Live each day like it's your last... and be a Champion Today!

As the book states, "Your journey is determined by the choices you make.  Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today."  So... what's it gonna be Champion? Remember - YOU alone ARE RESPONSIBLE for the QUALITY of your LIFE... make the most of it... STARTING TODAY!

When you ask this question, you get more conscious to how you're feeling and allow yourself the space to create an intention with respect to your attitude.   If you have a "Battitude", chances are you'll laugh, check yourself and flip to a "Pattitude" - a positive attitude.    After all, champions (just like you) know that in order to be great, you must master your attitude. So what's it gonna be? A "Battitude" or a "Pattitude"... the choice is always yours!

Hey, as small business owners & entrepreneurs, we must be willing to accept that the odds of success are stacked against us. 9 out of 10 small businesses fail the first time. It's the game you're playing... but 10 out of 10, including YOUR BUSINESS, CAN & WILL eventually SUCCEED, if you just TRY, TRY, TRY AGAIN! You got this... keep smiling & keep trying :)

In the words of Linda Pickens, "when life knocks you down... Accept it. Get back up. Decide to move forward. Ask for help. Feed your mind and soul with positive words. And most importantly... LEAN ON YOUR FAITH!"

So... what do you do with that? Accept it, do the work and you'll get there when you get there! Just be sure that you have proper expectations... AND (here's the biggie)... that your effort meets those expectations.  Look in the mirror. Be honest with yourself. Ensure Your EFFORT MATCHES Your EXPECTATIONS... and you're on your way to building a business and lifestyle where you can expect to work less and make more.  You got this, but you gotta do the work first!! 

Here's 2 simple ways to make your health your priority every day: #1 - ask yourself each morning, "what can I do to prioritize my health today?".  #2 - Follow the advice of my amazing fiance Leanna Pickens and "Find Your Fit."  Find one physical activity you enjoy and just do it; no matter how short or long, hard or easy... as long as you do something you enjoy, you will continue to do it, and then just build your way up from there. It's all about momentum and making it a priority... your #1 priority!

No matter what happens in your life, it's ultimately your responsibility to make the most of it. Lee didn't play the victim, nor should you or I. When we take responsibility for our life and future, our champion is born. From there, anything is possible. Check out the wisdom and guidance Lee provides to help you step into your greatness each and every day!

I can't THANK YOU enough for all your support and helping grow the movement. Please take the time today to give thanks and praise to the ones you love, and to yourself for stepping up your Game! Happy, Happy Thanksgiving to all you Game-Changers & Champions!!!

Remember, the LEARNING is in the DOING... NOT the THINKING or PERFECTING... your Champion inside is born when you make the decision to JUST GET STARTED... so... "Let's get you STARTed" TODAY!

Step it up... act like a CEO, create a structure, create a schedule, be consistent, and do the work week in and week out... and treat your business like a business. Otherwise, you just have a nice hobby.    It's Time. It's Your Time. It's Time to be in real business!

Today's show is inspired by and dedicated to my business partner Aj Amyx and his great Facebook post last week. Here it is:  "So many times as ENTREPRENEURS we WANT the vision we see and FEEL within ourselves created TOMORROW.  I read these words from Lao-tzu this morning...  Nature does NOT hurry, yet EVERYTHING is ACCOMPLISHED.   The REALITY is this...  You CANNOT make something GROW faster than it SHOULD.  TRY and you WILL kill it.  Where in your LIFE are you FORCING an OUTCOME rather than...   SEEING it for where it TRULY is.  Tell the TRUTH.  ACCEPT the truth.  Then maybe...just MAYBE...  ...you can EMBRACE the reality and move FORWARD.  A HARVEST is not reaped overnight.  ACCEPT the stage of the PROCESS you are in.  It's TIME...it's YOUR time...it's GAMETIME."    -Aj

I have a picture just above my computer that says, "ACHIEVEMENT... unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow."  In the growth lies the magic key to unlocking your potential and ensuring you continue to believe and achieve your dreams.  Aim higher, play bigger, and make the commitment to "constant and never-ending improvement" (CANI). To your "ACHIEVEMENT" my friends :)

If UConn can make the changes they made to make their season amazing. They really turned around the team, and even through massive set backs they made it to the championships. The stepped it up, focused and took it to the next level. You can do the same in you life and business! If you are struggling, take a moment to think about what you want 4 months from now, and work each day to get better and better. Overcome those obstacles and step it up! Anything is possible in the next 120 days! It’s GAMETIME!!
