Teflon Don Positive Mindset

Often times we’ll accept a situation that we know will turn ugly real quick if we don’t get on top of it. But what do we do? We push it back to a point when we think to ourselves, “that’s when I’ll get started.” It’s called procrastination. And when you procrastinate, you add to your worry. And when you worry, you have lost control and don’t do work, you just hope and pray. Play like a champion. Have a sense of urgency. Get the work done now. Be in control. Make stuff happen. Greatness awaits. GO --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Champions have a mindset that is separate from the norm. They move with the sense of urgency. They don’t take the small details lightly, they take them seriously. It’s about having a sense of urgency. I break down the difference between worrying and urgency. I break down why you NEED to have a sense of urgency and why you NEED to have a championship mindset. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

We all have haters. Don’t look at it as a bad thing, look at it as a good thing. Why? Because Haters really are mad at themselves and wish they could be you and do what you do. They don’t have the courage to get out there and pursue their own so they have to throw shade on your actions. Don’t allow these fools to taint your dreams. In fact, be happy that they’re hating. Be happy that they wish they could be you and do what you’re doing. They’re watching you for a reason. And when you become successful, they’ll be the first ones to say that they know you. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Change is ugly. It’s not going to and not supposed to look glamorous. You have to be willing to embrace the ugly. You will encounter many trials and tribulations along the way but if you’re focused on looking good while you’re going through this challenging time, you will ultimately lose. It’s hard for a reason. It’s ugly for a reason. Don’t try to make it look pretty for the sake of avoiding the ugly. Embrace the ugly. You’re journey through the ugly will ultimately land you in a place of beauty. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

Change will challenge you. Change will make you feel frustrated, angry, apprehensive and unsure of every move that you make. But if you persevere through the changes and the apprehension, you will find yourself in a much better place mentally. Why? Because you’ve learned to defeat the demons of apprehension and frustration and now you’ve come out on the other side victorious. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

We all have moments that test us on our way to accomplishing a certain goal. The tests are really challenges that push us beyond our limits and make us constantly question our reasoning to pursue such a goal. Learn to push through and persevere. Learn to push through the doubt and apprehension. Learn to keep going. Otherwise, you’ll always you will always give in to the habit of quitting. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

I remember when I got started in a company called Primerica. I was in charge of creating my own schedule and I wanted to only work 3-4 days a week. I remember the days that I wanted to take off were Friday, Saturday, Sunday and any holiday in between. When I was done creating my schedule, I think I had less than 180 wroking days on my calendar. It was ridicuolous. How could I ever get work done with that mindset? In this episode, I will also tell you about the countdown app that I had that would count down to when I was geting off on Friday’s. Once I rejected this mindset, things changed. I began to see everyday as a new opportunity instead of seeing a day as Hump Day or TGIF. Listen to this episode and save it to be a reminder that everyday that you wake up is a day gifted to you to be maximized. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

One thing that I’ve always noticed was consistent with the happiest people was that they were always willing to laugh at themselves. One of my favorite basketball players (Charles Barkley) used to always poke fun at himself on TV about his own play and how he messed up. In this episode, I tell you about an embarrassing moment of my own when I was a teenager while dating. Hey, we ALL have these moments. Be willing to laugh at yourself. It’ll make you feel better, trust me. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

People often wonder how I’m able to stay positive and motivated all the time. It’s because I make a choice to do so. It’s not by accident. it’s something that I've learned to cultivate ever since I worked in the school setting with the severe and profound students. I learned that my attitude could impact someone else’s day and in learning that, I changed my ways. I went from “keeping it real” to “I’ll do whatever it takes to be psotive and change the world.” Here’s how I do it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teflondon/support

I can tell you that 99.9% of the population does not know what they’re doing or want to do in the next 20 years. They don’t even know what they want to do tomorrow. If you’re one of these people, that’s okay. Allow me to give you insight on what I do to expect what I want in 2038. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

We ALL do it. We ALL like to see the numbers on our recent post. We do it as an ego thing. We would like to feel like everyone likes us and that our numbers represent more than something else. But in all honesty you can be a huge distraction and can negatively impact you if you do not have a game plan of how to attack social media. For entrepreneurs, social media as a tool to extend reach to find out who your customers are. This is how I use social media to maximize my potential. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

We all know what we need to do to become successful. It’s not a hidden formula. The problem is that we allow our feelings to get in the way of actually completing the tasks. Feelings will mess up your path to success and can ultimately derail you from attaining your goals. You know what needs to be done. It’s time to get like Nike - Just Do It. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

We all have daily challenges that make us feel like we’re the only ones going through such a rough situation. We often start comparing our challenges to others as if we’re receiving a reward for who can deal with the most obstacles. Don’t get caught up comparing. We all have struggles. Focus on impacting your future. We all have struggles. It’s just a matter of who’s willing to conquer them and who’s going to stay stuck complaining about them. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support

It’s the second day of the new year and people are starting to realize that the goal they have set will require more than just being motivated to get them through. You don’t need motivation. You need finite focus. You need a daily plan of attack to keep you focused on what you’re working towards. Most people know what they have to do but are unwilling to commit to it because they feel unmotivated. Get to work. Don’t be like most people. In the end, most people will lose and never see their goal. Only the committed become winners. You’re a winner. Stay committed. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beauthenticzone/support
