229 - Autocorrect May 21, 2020

Show notes

Problem-solving is the process of finding solutions to difficult or complex issues. In today's podcast, the guys talk about two types of individuals—there's the one who wants to solve the problem when it arises, and then there's the one who avoids solving the problem but finds time to blame others, and vent to anyone who will listen. ET breaks down how to go from being the complainer to the solver through understanding and applying the principle of FACTS over FEELINGS.

228 - Good Game May 14, 2020

Show notes

As the Michael Jordan Documentary, The Last Dance, continues, the guys continue digging deeper into the Winner's Mentality of Michael Jordan. This week the guys each focus on a moment in the documentary that blew them away. Karl speaks on Mike's drive, Jemal is intrigued by Mike's fearlessness, never being afraid to fail and always ready to try. ET ties it all together at the close by focusing on how MJ's Vocabulary set him apart. Words are important.

227 - Load Management May 07, 2020

Show notes

You're not winning because you're not carrying your load correctly! Effective load management is the difference maker between success and failure in both business and private life. These statements set the tone for today's podcast. Many of you want to be successful, and a part of the 1%, but you're holding yourselves back by carrying a load that's not yours to carry or, carrying what is yours, incorrectly. Some of that weight looks like the opinions of parents, siblings, and others who have everything to say about how and what you're doing but aren't doing any of the work. The most critical step to take in effective load management is ignoring the comments and opinions of those whose opinions don't matter. If you're wondering whose opinions "don't matter," and why, here's a clue; if they aren't pulling alongside you, grinding it out with you day in and day out, their opinions don't matter. Period. This week, ET breaks down the three things you're doing that are standing in the way of your success. Effective Load management is the name of the game, and the guys break down what that looks like while offering great insights on how to identify your load limits and apply effective load management in your life and business immediately.

Secrets 2 Success:

You’re not winning because you don’t have load management.
You will never be successful if you care TOO much about what others think.
You have too much on your mind and it’s preventing you from executing.
When you learn to do one thing well all the other things will come.
Do what you can do and don’t worry about what you can’t do.
If you want my help then help me build the wall.

225 - One Pack, One Goal Apr 23, 2020

Show notes

Last week the guys took a moment to watch the first installment of "The Last Dance," A documentary focusing on not just the final season but the length and breadth of Michael Jordan's professional basketball career. The guys agreed that although Jordan made it all look so easy and effortless, the levels of adversity, personal trauma, and pain he endured WHILE killing the game was unbelievable. Life happens, and if you didn't know it before COVID-19 straight stopped the entire world in its tracks, you certainly know it now. As the podcast continues, they transition from discussing MJ to discussing the importance of having and maintaining provisions. For those who don't know, provisions are things we stock up on in preparation for times like these, namely, canned goods and other non-perishable items. Essentially, provisions are things that will keep you alive. Like all of you, each of the guys has had a crisis period where they relied on their emotional, spiritual and physical "provisions" to get through the doubt, the pain, and REAL life-altering adversity each one faced. The provisions they stocked up on allowed them to emerge on the other side, better than when they went in. They'll share these stories and more on today's Secret to Success Podcast.

Show notes

Who's your Mattie Moss Clark? Dr. Mattie Moss Clark was the mother and motivation behind the birth and success of the iconic Gospel Group, The Clark Sisters. ET had a chance to watch the biopic and was inspired by Dr. Mattie Moss Clark, who pushed her girls to greatness in an industry that's full of excellence that doesn't always rise to the top. While studying Dr. Clark's moves and directions, he realized that to be successful at the levels most think they want to be, most people need a Dr. Mattie Moss Clark driving them toward their full potential. Can you push yourself to greatness? Or, do you get upset when other people push you?

222 - April First Apr 02, 2020

Show notes

Cause and effect. When you do something it has an effect on something else. The other side is when you don’t do something it still affects something. Last week CJ talked about the difficulties of not having the same routine that he’s had over the last few years. Because he hasn’t had the same routine it was affecting how he went about his day. Today he starts the conversation with somewhat of an epiphany and how although he’s not able to have his normal routine, he still has an opportunity to fix his gaps and increase his strengths. ET rounds out the conversation on what you can do to regain your confidence and how to take advantage of this time instead of letting it pass by.
