“Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing” - Vince Lombardi. It’s the truth. You’re winning at something, whether it’s constructive or destructive. Something is giving you that winning feeling. When you’re losing, you think winning doesn’t matter. You begin to say things like “winning isn’t everything” or “if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.” Winners don’t say those trite sayings. Winning is more important than you think it is. Make winning in life your highest priority. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

We all have bad days. ALL OF US. They will happen. But far too often, people will allow their bad days to ruin their week, month and even year. Don’t allow this to happen to you. Understand that you will take a L. You will have down days but know that it’s just a bad day and not a bad life. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

One of the biggest mistakes I’ve made was living to fit in a box. Society’s box. Get a good job, good benefits, have kids, a wife, a house and a white picket fence. Live below your means and never get too greedy. Yea, that didn’t work. In fact, I had MORE headaches trying to not break society’s rules. I had MORE problems because I was never good enough. I only saw my shortcomings and never maximized my strengths. Once I lived life on my terms, things changed drastically. Once I decided to surround myself with go-getters and people that were looking to level up in life, I leveled up as well. Once I stopped caring so much about what the worlds thought about me and decided that I should care more about me, THAT’S when things changed. Listen to this episode and change your life.

Authenticity is a rarity these days. Too many fakes online. Too many people portraying a fake lifestyle and trying to be the next big thing and perpetuating this sense of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) amongst our young people. Be authentic. What you are is what you’ll attract. Be willing to put your stuff out there. If you’re going to celebrate all the good, then you must be willing to expose the bad and (gasp) THE UGLY. People respect your hustle when you bare your soul. Why? Because we ALL can relate to the truth. Be authentic and you’ll get authenticity in return. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

What are you investing your time into? This is essential to your success in life. Where you invest your time is where you invest your energy and if that energy is being wasted doing things that aren’t helping you level up in life, then it’s time to seek different avenues. Make sure that you’re investing your time into activities that will help you to level up in life. Make sure that these activities can give you an abundant financial return. Listen to this episode on how I used to invest my time and why I changed my ways as a result of self-examination. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

When you want to quit, you have many things that have made you come to this decision. A lot of times, it deals with your adversity in a situation. You’ve lost too many times at what you’re trying to accomplish and you’d rather give up than to continue on. Here’s how and why it’s important to understand Nick Foles’ story of how he became a champion and became Super Bowl LII MVP after his moment of wanting to quit. We all hit the wall and want to quit.

NO ONE, I REPEAT - NO ONE IS SELF-MADE. It’s a myth to think that someone made it all by themselves. That they had zero help and they used all of their own resources to win in life. The fact is, EVERYONE gets help to the top. We need it. People use the term self-made as a way to identify they’ve made it through all of the struggles and had (what they perceive) as minimal help along the way. Self-made is a selfish term. It denies all of the people that have helped you along your journey. It denies all of the sacrifices others have made for you to get to where you are today. NO ONE’S SELF-MADE. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

People get discouraged to easily. They allow what happens to them have a sustainable impact on their lives to the point that they perseverate on all of the negatives. The only way to beat this is to understand that your all-time best efforts will get thwarted. It’s a fact. In this podcast, I talk about the story of Colonel Sanders and how his chicken recipe was rejected over 1000 times before someone finally gave him a shot. Let me also add that he was 65 years old when he decided to start his entrepreneurial journey. You’re never too old and it’s never too late. Keep going, keep doing and hustling. Your breakthrough is closer than you think. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

We live in a day where out cell phones are the biggest distraction we have in our life. Remember the saying, ‘don’t leave home without it?’ I’ve literally left the house without my wallet and thought nothing but if I were to leave my house without my phone, it’s the end of the world. Here’s what I do to limit the distractions from my cell phone. It’s important to understand how to limit the power this device has over you when it’s time to be productive. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

We are all born with greatness. The problem is that we depreciate our value by increasing others value. How do we do this? We often do it by praising people who have increased their ability and skills in certain areas and then we compare their superb skills to what we may lack. The famous stat of the odds of us being born should be enough information for you to understand that you were destined for greatness. The odds of being born into this world is 400 trillion to 1 or 400,000,000,000,000:1. Is that enough to make you understand that you weren’t born by accident? Listen to this episode to understand what I mean. You have greatness within you. Activate that shit. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

I WISH, WISH, WISH I had someone tell me this message when I was getting out of high school. I had a great mom but she was a single mother who was struggling to raise three of us. My dad was out of the picture and I didn’t have any good male role models to look up to. I followed the crowd when it came to making life choices. Go to college, get a degree, get a secure job. God, I wish someone would’ve told me THIS MESSAGE. I wish someone would’ve said, “look dude, who cares about cars, girls and houses. You need to get your money working for you or you’ll be working for it for the rest of your life.” I heard this message one time when I was 27. I shrugged it off but at that point, I needed a place to live and a job. I still wish I would’ve made the move then. IF YOU’RE UNDER 25, LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE.

Know-it-alls are like cancer. They literally will destroy everything in their way. A know-it-all has no direction in life other than to make everyone else feel inferior to their endless knowledge. The problem is that know-it-alls are stagnant. They’re afraid to make mistakes so they research. Extensively. They Wikipedia and Google everything to buffer against the fact that they have no life experience of their own to back up what they think they know. Don’t allow these cancerous people to infect you. They aren’t trying to better their lives, they’re sole purpose is to make others feel inferior to their supreme knowledge. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Nothing is easy. That’s what I say to myself everyday. Every time I confront a task, I have this attitude. Why? Because I used to have the attitude that certain tasks were easier than others. And while that may seem true on the surface, I refuse to use that mental attitude towards what I’m accomplishing. What I began to understand is that we give weight to certain tasks. When we deem them as being easy or hard, it then forces us to think the “easy” challenges will ALWAYS be easy. But have you come across an “easy” challenge, only for it to be the most difficult thing that you’ve encountered? Approach every task the same. Give it the same weight. Do not allow yourself to be misguided by “easy.” Because sometimes “easy” can creep up on you and turn out to be harder than you could’ve imagined. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

A lot of times we work and work and work. Kind of like that Rihanna song - work work work. And we don’t take the time to appreciate how far we’ve come. Why is that? Well, part of it is because we live in a society that says if you’re not working, then you’re losing. But in all honesty, you need to stop and reflect every so often. It’s important for your growth. It’s always good to see how far you’ve come and what you’ve accomplished. This is all about celebrating how far you’ve come - for a moment. Not staying here and marveling at what you’ve done for a whole week. Take time to see how far you’ve come and learn to appreciate yourself more. You’ll be glad that you did. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Confidence is key in EVERYTHING that you do. We love the feeling of having the utmost confidence. It makes us feel invincible. We feel like we have the ability to achieve the impossible. The best way to get confidence? Get good at doing what you don’t like. That’s right. What you don’t like to do, you need to do more of. People run away from these challenges thinking they will just go away and they won’t have to worry about them. But the fact remains that your lack of confines comes from what you fear and it’s always the far of the unknown. And guess what’s in the unknown area - the stuff that you don’t like to confront. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Before I began this entrepreneurial journey, I didn't realize that the friends I was hanging with were bad influences on me. I don’t blame them, I blame me. One of the first things I did when I began my journey was to get rid of dead weight. All of the friends that weren’t about becoming multimillionaires, I pushed them to the acquaintance category. Sound harsh? Yes. Didn’t mean that I didn't have love for them, it meant that I had more love for me. If they had zero aspirations of leveling up, why would I hang with them? They’d never support me wanting to be better. Why? Because they themselves don’t want to become better. Learn this. Understand this. And know one thing: I wasted the first 37 years of my life doing what was “cool,” fitting in and caring about what my friends thought. It lead me nowhere. Ever since I made the change, I’ve been to places I could never have imagined. Make the change. It’ll take you to where you need to --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/suppo

We ALL experience fear and being scared. We ALL do. Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking they’re never scared. I understand that’s the mantra these days but let’s not kid ourselves - we all are scared of something. Fear comes about when you’re extremely apprehensive about something and your extreme apprehension surfaces with every possible bad thing that could happen. It’s natural. It’s your body’s way of saying, “I wouldn't do that if I were you.” But 95% of our fears are mental. With that known, most people create fears that are larger than life and are unable to push past these False Events Appearing Real. FEAR.

Many people will claim that they’re doing whatever it takes but they really aren’t. Most people submit to how they feel or think that they must always look glamorous in the process of change. These thoughts hinder people from getting the job done. They later will claim that they did whatever it took but they actually did the bare minimum. This episode dives into how I brought this podcast to the public. In fact, I’m not recording this episode in a glamorous studio, it’s inside my car.
