Work On Your Game: Mental Toughness, Confidence & Discipline From A Professional Basketball Athlete

In this masterclass, we dive into part four of the "How to Be a Wolf" series. The focus is on the importance of adopting a predator mindset for success. Just like wolves hunt to survive, we need to approach our goals with the same intensity. Imagine your next success is as critical as a wolf's next meal—if you don’t achieve it, you won’t make it. The key takeaway is to stay focused, disciplined, and move with purpose, much like how wolves operate with stealth in the wild. Keep hunting down your success, one step at a time.

In part three of this ten-part series, we continue exploring how to "be a wolf." Today's focus is on adaptability and sharpening instincts. Just like wild animals, especially wolves, humans must learn to adjust quickly to changes in their environment instead of waiting for things to go back to normal. We also dive into how overthinking can block your instincts and prevent you from making the right choices.  Tune in for insights on staying attuned to your instincts and why mindfulness practices can help you reconnect with your subconscious. Show Notes: [02:27]#7 Adapt and adjust quickly. [09:01]#8 Sharpen your instincts. [18:06]#9 Become and remain disciplined.

We continue with part two of the "How to Be a Wolf" series. Today’s focus is on embracing independence. Just like wolves, who can thrive alone or in a pack, you need to be comfortable handling things on your own. You won't always have a team, so it’s important to learn how to rely on yourself and still thrive. Being self-reliant makes you stronger in both solo situations and when you're part of a group. Mastering this independence will make you more valuable in any team you join. Show Notes: [02:16]#4 Embrace independence. [08:35]#5 Master self-reliance. [16:02]#6 Be fiercely self-determined.

In this class, I’m starting a ten-part series on what it means to "be a wolf." Inspired by a scene from Training Day, we’ll dive into why you need to think like a wolf to protect yourself and others. As Denzel’s character says, "It takes a wolf to catch a wolf." Over the next episodes, I’ll break down traits that will help you handle people who don’t have good intentions. If you don’t want to be prey, you need to learn how to deal with the wolves of the world. Show Notes: [07:28]#1 Sharpen your verbal communication skills. [13:31]#2 Make yourself capable of physical violence, at least to the point of being able to defend yourself from someone else who is also capable.

In this class, I talk about why “the market is never wrong.” I use Shaquille O’Neal as an example, explaining why he might feel frustrated seeing players like Rudy Gobert make more money today, even though Shaq was a much better player. But here’s the thing: the market decides what people get paid, not skill alone. It might seem unfair, but the market always knows what’s right. Let me break it down for you. Show Notes: [12:28]#1 The market is like the weather. [23:51]#2 You are worth what the market will bear combined with what you choose to accept. [31:11]#3 Many struggle to accept market realities due to emotional conditioning [33:08]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1824: The "Race Hustler": Who, What, Why, And What To Do About Them Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://drinkAG1.com/WORKONYOURGAME  Get Dre’s Emails FREE:  Http://Work

Today, we’re diving into what everyone talks about when it comes to personal and professional growth. No matter where you hear it—books, interviews, or from me—there are some key ideas about growth and achievement that everyone agrees on. While people might disagree on many things, these truths about success are universal.  Join me to find out what these important points are that can help you move forward! Show Notes: [03:18]#1 You must operate as if you are already successful. [11:45]#2 You must keep your mind locked on what you want, never focusing on what you don't want.  [16:18]#3 You must get off the treadmill of the familiar and step into the discomfort of change. [24:39]#4 Other people's paths are not your path.  [28:27]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1207: Don't Settle For "Good Enough" Out Of Fear That You Won't Find "Better" 1699: 4 Ways To Avoid Living In The Past Forever: Sacrifice Your Sacred Cows 2820: Identifying & Embracing Your Unique Ability 2337: Eat The Meat, Spit Out The Bones 2023

Today’s class, we’re talking about freedom of opinion. I recently had a chat with someone who works in the medical industry. I shared my thoughts on how messed up the system is, and they got defensive because their whole career is tied to it. This made me realize that when you're invested in something, it can be hard to speak your mind. We’ll explore if you really have the freedom to express your opinions and how our jobs can shape what we say.  Get ready for some prompts to help you think about your own freedom of opinion! Show Notes: [07:28]#1 Could you have the opposite opinion of the one you have while keeping your job, your paycheck and your friends? [19:01]#2 How would you argue for or defend the other side? [27:33]#3 What opinions do you have that most people around you disagree with?

In today’s class, we finished our two-part series on the biggest mistakes I made in business. I talk about three big lessons: First, it’s super important to team up with the right people for mutual benefit. Second, moving to high-ticket offers (that’s $5,000 or more) can bring in clients who are more engaged and appreciative. Lastly, I challenge the idea that you have to work all the time to be valued. Top performers know when to work, when to train, and when to rest. I’m here to help you figure out how to use these lessons in your life and business! Show Notes: [02:21]#4 Not leveraging collaborations enough.  [10:33]#5 Taking too long to go high ticket. [16:31]#6 Working more out of obligation rather than focusing on high ROI activities.

In this class, I talk about the biggest mistakes I’ve made in business. Unlike my previous series on common entrepreneur mistakes, this one gets personal. I dive into the mistakes I’ve made myself, how they affected me, and what I’m doing to fix them. From trying to do everything on my own to dealing with less-than-ideal clients for the sake of money, I break down why these were bad decisions and how I’ve learned to avoid them. This is part one of a two-part series, so stay tuned for more. Show Notes: [03:08]#1 Doing everything by myself. [11:04]#2 Dealing with less than ideal people for revenue.

In today's masterclass, we covered the last three tips to build relationships and grow your business. First, adjust how you talk and listen to fit the person or group you're with. Second, give and receive referrals because they’re an easy way to find new customers. Lastly, look for joint ventures, where you team up with others to make more money together. These are smart ways to grow without doing all the work yourself. Show Notes: [02:34]#13 Adapt to communication styles. [12:47]#14 Provide referrals. [24:26]#15 Look to create joint ventures.

In this masterclass, we’re continuing our series on building relationships in business. Relationships fall apart when there’s no communication, so it’s important to stay in touch with your contacts. People’s needs change, and by keeping in touch, you can discover opportunities to help them or benefit from what they’re doing. Also, having something valuable to offer makes sure your connections stay meaningful, not just transactional.  Keep these ideas in mind as you build stronger business relationships.

In this masterclass, we keep talking about how to build strong business relationships. It’s all about "showing face" – staying connected with personal interactions, like meeting in person, making calls, or using video chats. If you don't check in regularly, relationships can fade, so it’s key to keep in touch with both your personal and professional network. Following up helps keep those connections alive and can lead to new chances. We also talk about how being the one who connects people can open doors for yourself and others.

In this masterclass, we continue from where we left off, diving into point number four on building business relationships. The key is to understand what people want or need and offer it to them. The best way to do that? Listen closely to what they say. People will always drop hints about their desires if you pay attention. Then, we move to point number five: always offer value upfront. When you give something first, it opens the door to building strong connections. Listen in to learn more about how these strategies work in business and beyond.

In part four of "The Biggest LIES In Professional Development," we dig into the myth that you should say yes to every opportunity. Sure, when you're starting out, it makes sense to say yes, but as your career grows, you need to be choosy. We also talk about how not all feedback is good feedback—it's important to decide what advice to listen to. Plus, being available all the time isn’t necessary; your time is valuable!

In the third installment of our series "The Biggest LIES In Professional Development," we dig into some big misconceptions that can stop you from growing in your career. We start by talking about the lie that you have to give up your personal life for success—finding balance is totally possible! Then, we look at why it's important to promote your own work, using Michael Jordan and LeBron James as examples. Lastly, we challenge the idea that being a specialist is the only way to succeed, and we encourage you to build a diverse skill set to stay ahead. Join us for some tips to help you improve your game!

In this class, we dive into part two of the five-part series on the biggest lies about professional development. Today, we tackle the fourth lie: "You must have a long-term plan." While having a plan is fine, it’s more important to focus on your long-term goal. Plans change, but a goal gives you direction. We also discuss how "what" you want and "why" you want it matter more than "how" you’ll get there. Lastly, remember—building relationships is more valuable than just collecting contacts.

In today’s class, we’re wrapping up part three of our series on the biggest lies in personal development. One big lie we're tackling is the idea that being a high performer means constant productivity. The truth is, high performance requires rest and recovery. Even top athletes and entertainers, like LeBron James or Beyoncé, take time to recharge between games or shows. It’s about balancing performance, preparation, and rest—not always being “on.” The key takeaway is that if you want to perform at your best, you need to make time to recover and sharpen your skills. Show Notes: [02:39]#7 High in performance equals constant productivity.  [13:59]#8 Consistency equals success. [17:51]#9 Balance means equal focus on all important areas.
