Teflon Don Positive Mindset

I used to have an incredibly difficult time with my goals. In fact, I didn’t have any. I had them in my mind but I never wrote down goals or spoke them into existence. I used to think that was stupid stuff. That all changed when I began my entrepreneurial journey in October 2015. I did a complete 180 of what I was used to doing and created goals. I soon realized that my goals were my direction in life and that I was in control of what I wanted to do as opposed to leaving stuff to chance. It changed my life and I’m here to help others understand that it can change their life as well. Write down goals and say them out loud everyday. Then, ATTACK THEM. Your life will change if you go all-in on your attack. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Dream crushers are EVERYWHERE. They will do whatever it takes to knock you out of flight and keep you grounded. They use code talk like: -I’m just looking out for your best interests -I just want you to be happy -You need to live life -You need to be happy you’ve got a job, got your health, etc -You need to be grateful Dream crushers have gibe up. They need to make you give up to make themselves feel better about giving up on their dreams. Get away from these people. Your dream is NOT their dream. You don’t need approval to go after what you want, you need to approve yourself for what you want. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Fear grips many people’s lives. They allow fear to dictate every move they make and ultimately they live a safe and boring life as a result. Listen, you will not die from your mental fears. In fact, you will end up with a life of regret if you don’t start attacking your fears. Attack fear. Stop running away from it. ATTACK FEAR TODAY!!

Too many people do just a little bit because they’re scared to do too much. Yes, you read that right. They’re scared to do more because if they invest all of that energy, they better get more in return. Here’s the deal, most people look to fail. They don’t have the right mindset so they end up relegating themselves to being spectators. Stop watching the game and get in the damn game. You can’t complain about the players in the game when you’re the one watching them. Your time is now. There is no better time and you don’t need a sign. You need to get off the couch and make things happen. Otherwise, you’ll be a spectator for life. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Most people know what they want but they won’t go for it. They will ponder all of the reasons why it won’t work as opposed to why it will work They will talk themselves out of just going for it because they’re scared to fail or they think that they will die. I’m not joking. People think they’ll die if they put themselves in a situation that doesn’t have immediate financial success or security. Listen, if you don’t go for what you want inn this life, you will end up old and regretting it for the rest of your life. Stop pondering and just go for it. #YOLO. You Only Live Once. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

If you’re unwilling to force change, then change will be forced upon you. Most people loathe change and I get it. They want to be as comfortable as possible for as long as they can. There’s one problem: comfort will destroy you when it comes to living the life that you want. Comfort is the second biggest killer to your dreams. Fear is number one. Force change in your life to get you more of what you want. Otherwise change will be forced onto you to give you more of what you don’t want. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

I used to have a problem with people unfriending me on social media sites. My problem was that I was taking things personal instead of realizing that it was a good thing. When people unfriend you on social media, there’s nothing wrong with you. There’s nothing that should make you angry or upset at the fact that they decided to move on. People actually get into fights over this kind of stuff. They take it too personally. When people unfriend you on social media, take it as a good thing. They’re simply saying that they aren’t going in the direction that you’re going. Birds of a feather flock together. You don’t want to hang out with turkeys anyway. Surround yourself with eagles. Surround yourself with positive, like-minded people that are always looking to level up. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

I used to have a lazy man’s mindset. I’d only do things that were within my comfort zone. Doing the bare minimum. The unfortunate thing is this concept took hold of every aspect of my life. My job performance suffered, my love life suffered and my kids suffered because Daddy was doing the bare minimum in everything. It was all about MY comfort level. That was until I read the book, The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone. That book lit a fire under me and snapped me out of my comfort coma. I became a beast at doing nothing but work and enjoying the fruits of my labor. Ever since reading that book, my motto is DO MORE. When you think you’ve done enough, DO MORE. When you think it’s impossible to go oo, DO MORE. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

What you imagined in the past is what you’re currently getting today. I repeat, What you imagined in the past is what you’re currently getting today. You’re imagination is constantly at work designing the life that you covet. Your mind is doing this whether you’re aware of it or not. It’s time to be more aware of your thoughts and to design your life with intent as opposed to letting the chips fall where they may. You were born on purpose for a purpose. It’s time to find that purpose and live that purpose for a purpose driven life. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

The one thing most people have difficulty managing is time. They just can’t do it. Why? Because they’re stuck in their comfort zone. YES. The comfort zone makes people lazy. I know this because the comfort zone was my all-time favorite place to be. It wasn’t until October 2015 that I realized that I was losing in life and one of the things that needed to change was my need for my comfort zone. Once I exited the comfort zone, things happened. I was maximizing my time and I was getting what I wanted. I started winning and it’s a feeling that I never want to lose. EVER. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

A lot of people woke up today with the Case of the Mondays. I get it. I used to as well. My problem was that I didn’t live a purpose driven life. I was just working to pay bills and not working towards my purpose. The best way to find your purpose is to write down your top five personal and professional goals and go for them. Take action. Stick to your core values. When you live a purpose driven life, you don’t have a Case of the Mondays, you have excitement for living towards your purpose and achieving your dreams, goals and aspirations. Design the life you desire by living your purpose. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Most people think that it’ll be a walk in the park for what they want. They don’t want it to be hard. They don’t want to face the challenges. They’ll talk about doing whatever it takes but when it comes to taking action, they’re all of a sudden nowhere to be found. You’re going to experience pain and mental suffering. You’re going to get beatdown and your going to experience your personal walk through mental Hell. EVERYONE DOES. There’s a reason why only a few thrive in this game. Because the battles aren’t won and lost physically, they all occur mentally. Be mentally ready to be challenged in your personal Hell or be ready to settle for mediocrity if you choose to run away from greatness. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Your attitude towards what you’re doing matters more than you think. A lot of times we surround ourselves with the wrong people. You know, the people that “keep it real” or “keep it 100.” You know - the Captain Obvious ones. Your attitude counts. If you want something different, first you must change your attitude and then commit to being the change. When you do these two things, you change your world immediately. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

People try to justify their losing by saying silly things. Silly things such as: “Winning isn’t everything,” “If it’s meant to be, then it’s meant to be.” “If it’s in God’s plan.” Listen, I used to say these goofball sayings. It’s loser talk. You’ll never catch ANYBODY who’s a winner that will say these trite sayings. Learn and understand the importance of winning in everything you do. Why? Because you’re winning at something, whether it be constructive or destructive. WINNING IS EVERYTHING. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Too many times we perseverate on our past. We allow our past to define who we are and we get stuck in it. We are unwilling to move forward because we are so stuck in the past. Why? Why can’t we get out of our own head and keep our eyes focused on what lies ahead? This episode will help you to keep your eyes and your mind solely on your future. Who cares about your past. That’s done. Focus on what you can control: your future. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Your dreams are your dreams. They’re no one else’s. No one will approve you to go after your dreams. NO ONE. I REPEAT- NO ONE. This was a primary issue of mine. I had a problem going after what I wanted and waiting for my friends and family to approve what I wanted to do. My issue was that I put way too much stock into what my friends thought about my decisions and ultimately ended up never accomplishing anything. When I finally decided that I didn’t care if my friends and family supported me, that’s when I began to make things happen. I allow you to approve yourself. You don’t need anyone’s approval. You need the courage to step out on your own and surprise yourself. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Consistency is a battle I fight everyday. I win most of the time but sometimes I take some Ls. I used to be terrible at being consistent. In fact, I used to say that I was consistent and being inconsistent. I never got anything done and I never gained any traction with anything. Therefore, I was constantly frustrated with my progress. It wasn’t until I decided to go in the opposite direction of all of my old bad habits. When I began reading books on successful people and saw what made them successful, I began to emulate the same traits. And THAT’S when things began to change for me and that’s when my life changed as well. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Regret will catch up to you. Believe me. If you’re not going for what you want in life, you will end up questioning your decisions and why you’re doing what you’re doing. It’s called a Midlife Crisis. It happens to everyone. There’s no set age for when this happens but it happens when you least expect it. You want no part of regret. It is painful. It hurts. It’s a reality check. Don’t mess around with your time in life. Because regret will show its ugly face sooner than you’d like. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

People often trap themselves by only committing to the things that they’re used to. This comes about because of fear. And this is completely normal. Fear traps many people but don’t you be one of them that allows this to happen to you. It’s important for you to grow. It’s important for you to strive to be better in life and to hit the next level. It’s imperative that you seek new avenues to greatness. If you don’t, you’ll forever remain stagnant and fear will forever paralyze you from your true greatness. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

The entrepreneurial game has turned into a sideshow. More like show and tell. Remember when you were a kid and you’d come to school and show off the your coolest toy or the coolest thing you have. It was basically a One-Up Show. That’s what the entrepreneurial game has turned into. It’s sexy to say that you’re an entrepreneur. It’s sexy to say that you’ve achieved this (fake) baller status. But the authentic ones such as myself can separate the real from the fakes. It’s not hard at all. You want to know about what true entrepreneurialism is? Here you go.
