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

Let's pick up right where we left off. I’m laying it out straight—here’s why I avoid the corporate grind. I’d rather be honest and deal with the fallout than play the fake game and get caught up in office politics. I chose the independent route because in my world, honesty and real results matter more than fitting into a corporate mold. Show Notes: [02:37]#7 I would rather be honest and piss you off than lie to please you.  [09:03]#8 I cannot stomach seeing incompetent and fake people being rewarded for bullshit. I can't deal with it.  [17:13]#9 The educational system is designed to train you to succeed in the corporate world.

In this class, I’m diving into why I’m not built for the corporate world. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit into the “go along to get along” culture, you’ll get where I’m coming from.

Show Notes: [02:56]#4 I lack the ability to go along to get along.  [10:06]#5 I cannot deal with people being fake, nor can I pretend to be fake. [18:19]#6  I'm good at climbing ladders.

Show Notes: [03:23]#1 I am very good at following rules and processes. I simply just don't want to.    [11:27]#2 I say too many things that are complete nonsense that I cannot hold my tongue about and not say something.  [22:25]#3 I refuse to have bosses.

I'll break down how you can use this mindset to start taking control and choosing what really matters to you.

In today’s class, we're talking about how humans are super trainable.

Remember, life is a business, and it all starts with how you handle yourself. Show Notes: [06:11]#1 We are used to following rules.  [14:19]#2 When there are no rules, you make our own rules, or we live in chaos.  [21:00]#3 When you give people rules, you enforce them and you remind people of the rules and you are consistent, people will comply.

Today, we’re talking about why just getting more information doesn’t always fix things when you’re stuck. A lot of folks think that if they only had the right info, they'd get the results they want, but that’s not usually the real problem. Instead, it’s about changing your perspective and using stories—either to get your point across or to rethink your own situation—that makes the biggest difference. Show Notes: [04:56]#1 Information gets easily forgotten and is being quickly democratized. [15:09]#2 Stories get remembered and are more proprietary.  [24:58]#3 There are very few truly ambitious people who can be satisfied with information alone.

Show Notes: [03:07]#1 Explicating. [08:55]#2 Demonstration.  [13:59]#3 People believe what they see and experience 100 times more than they believe what they hear.  [21:41]Recap 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://WorkOnMyGame.com  Free Audiobooks:  The Third Day: http://www.ThirdDayBook.com/audible The Mirror Of Motivation: http://www.MirrorOfMotivation.com/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotiva
