Teflon Don Positive Mindset

Time is money. This should be something that you’re saying to yourself everyday as an entrepreneur. Because it’s Entrepreneurship 101. If you’re not able to be productive, you will waste time and ultimately lose money. Learn to maximize every second of everyday. Here’s a snippet of what I did with my morning when it comes to social media and marketing. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

I remember as a kid that my dad would have me spell the words responsibility every time I wanted to blame someone for my actions. I’ll never forget having to spell that word but it left an impression on me. One that I’ll never forget. It showed me that I needed to be more aware of the actions that I was willing to take as opposed to just blaming someone for my screw ups. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

Success can’t come without a ton of pain. This is the reason why most people don’t go for success. They’d rather things be easy for them. I get it, we all wish that success would be easy but success and easy don’t go in the same sentence. Whatever level of success that you reach for will include a new level of stress and madness. You have to learn to mentally deal with this before physically creating success. Listen to this episode to understand why you need pain to become successful. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

We all hate failure. All of us. But what if you turned failure into your best buddy? What if you had a different view point on the way you approached failure? What if you took all of the times you failed and looked at them as a step closer to success? Most people don’t see that failure is their friend. Everything that you’ve learned in life has come as a result of something that you’ve failed miserably at. Failure is not your enemy. Shift your mindset and make failure your friend. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

We all have moments when we feel completely defeated. Even after putting in all of the hard work and giving your all-out effort, you STILL come out with a L. I’m here to let you know that it’s okay. Stuff happens. You will take some big hits and you will fall hard. The question is how bad do you want it? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Procrastination kills all urgency. YES. Procrastination kills all urgency. Yes, you’re urgent in the time of need but you do not create immediate urgency to get stuff done. You have to flip your thought process. Create the same urgency that you have when you’re in procrastination mode for when your project first begins. Urgency. If you don’t create it for the right time, you will never succeed at the right time. It’s just that simple. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

You’re human and you’re going to feel some type of way about what you’re doing to achieve success. I get it. It happens. But my biggest question to you is this: do your feelings really matter when it comes to completing the task? I will always confirm someone’s feelings but one thing I will not allow is for them to stay in their feelings. When you stay in your feelings, you do whatever it takes to resolve how you feel as opposed to completing the task. Let me help you refocus in this podcast. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

Don’t ever give these fools more attention than they deserve. They’re already attention deprived and all they’re looking for is to engage in verbal warfare. Social media trolls are to be used for entertainment purposes only. Don’t engage them beyond entertainment purposes.

Don’t get caught up with Manic Monday, Hump Day (Wednesday) and TGIF. That stuff is for losers. No one that’s successful is begging for the weekend to begin.

You’ll be surprised how much energy you devote towards looking at the clutter in your house. Clutter is the one thing that takes away from what we should be focusing our energy onto. My motto is Vision + Focus = Clarity. There’s no way you can gain clarity by having a cluttered filled house, place and mind. Trust me. Your mind is diverting its attention to things that aren’t of high priority. Declutter everything you own. Your house, your car, your phone, your life. You’ll gain more energy and have a life of clearer purpose. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Have you honestly sat down and asked yourself what it is that you want in life. Your life was meant for something greater than you can conceive. Do you know what that is? It’s time to sit down and have a powerful one-to-one with yourself about what it is that you truly want in life. Don’t say that you don’t have time. I want you to create 15 minutes of time for just you and what you want to accomplish in this life. What is it that you want to do with your life? The primary question I ask all entrepreneurs is this: What do you want? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

It’s a hard concept to think about always squeezing the very last drop out of everything. I completely get it. But I want you to understand something: tough times make tougher people but only if they’re willing to grow. There are a lot of tough people that become tougher but they’re committed to being stagnant and not working for growth. Be about growth. Understand that your struggle doesn’t mean defeat, it means you’re getting stronger. But only if you’re willing to commit to growth. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

People have a problem with the details. I get it. It used to be a huge pitfall for me. My problem was I didn’t care. I didn’t care about the details - at first. Then when I became an entrepreneur, I quickly realized the importance of the little things. Listen, I’m not famous - yet. So I need to do something that separates me from the competition. I want you to listen to this episode about the importance of respecting other people’’s time and why I correlate this with Will Smith. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Everyone has a day where their body seems to take over and shut down on them. It happens to all of us. Sometimes it’s best to listen to your body and make the right adjustments. I get it, I get it, BEAST MODE ALL DAY, EVERYDAY. But trust me, at some point, your body will give in and that’s when it’ll be time to take a rest. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

There aren’t many authentic people out there. Lots and lots of fakes. People are thirsting for someone who’s real and authentic. It’s what’s going to separate you from the white noise that’s on social media. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - If you’re fake, you’ll attract fakes. When you’re authentic, you’ll attract authentic people. Listen to this episode to understand what your authenticity can bring you in the noisy world of social media. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

Most people lack the believe in themselves because they’re constantly trying to measure themselves against someone else. Don’t let this be you. It’s time to take back your power and believe in yourself. You weren’t made by accident, you were made on purpose for a purpose. It’ time to find that purpose so you can live a purpose driven life. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

I get it, everyone wants to be a beast. Everyone wants to act like they utilize every second of the day and they’re NEVER TIRED. TEAM NO SLEEP SON!! Yes. I get it. Even I’ve been known to say these things but let me let you in on something - you’re human. I have these moments often. It reminds me that I’m human and not a machine. It’s extremely challenging to get up to do things when you’re in this state of mind but the key is to create muscle memory. Muscle memory is created through consistent activity. Remaining consistent (no matter how you feel) will be the key that separates you from everyone else. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

Most people wait for something tragic to happen before they realize it’s time to get out of their comfort zone and make a life of their life. The best way to create that sense of urgency is to begin by finding your purpose. But how? I tell people to write down their top five personal and professional goals and to write down their core values. What is it that you believe in? What do you stand for? What doing you ultimately want to do to help other people? That’s the key. It’s all about helping someone become better. What is it that you have that will ultimately make your life a life of fulfillment. It’s time to create urgency towards that. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support
