Inside The Relentless Mindset

Fear gets talked about a lot. Rightfully so, it is a big obstacle for many to overcome. The human species have been facing our fears for thousands of years. You could probably even argue that the fears our ancestors faced were much more worthy of our consideration. But, that’s a topic for another day. In this episode, Nick dives into Chapter 3 of “The Relentless Mindset” and discusses how we must approach fear for our benefit!

How you do anything is how you do everything! And, how you do anything is one step at a time. I often lose sight of the trees because I’m looking at the forrest. The big picture can overwhelm me and I have no idea how I’m going to accomplish the things I set out to. It’s only when I zoom in and focus on the small things I can do right now that the big picture comes to fruition.

In this episode, Nick discusses the his word “Relentless,” how it came to be, and how it ultimately has transformed his life. Mentioned in the Show:“Blog Bounty” – an opportunity for you to make some money and keep me accountable.

“Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.”– Voltaire One of the more pro-found and thought provoking things one can do is ask questions. The quality of those questions can have a direct influence on the quality of life. In this short, sweet episode, Nick dives into Chapter 2 of his book and discusses some of the more important questions that need proper answers.

In this episode, Nick takes you through the first and pivotal chapter of his book, The Relentless Mindset, which this podcast is based off of. In essence, Nick discusses that we must take accountability of our own lives. If we want to make a change in the world, we must start by changing ourselves. Before we can change ourselves, we must learn about who are and what drives us. The mindset is an ever-evolving thing and it can be quite hard to contain at times. However, we must never underestimate it’s ability to bring things to life. We must think …

In this episode, Nick comes to you from the Last Frontier of Alaska. He discusses his frustrations with the fitness industry and why he ultimately stepped away. It was in stepping away that he found where he truly felt at home. Sometimes when we leave what we thought we wanted, we truly find what we’re looking for! However, sometimes it takes us going after something and realizing that it’s not exactly what we wanted. To be able to walk away, takes strength and a tremendous amount of faith. Mentioned in the Show “The Relentless Mindset” – Nick’s Book NutraBio Sports …

It’s not something I’m proud of but I do plan on reconnecting with as many contacts as I can! I have really limited myself in meeting new people because I feel so bad about neglecting the people whom I do …

In this episode, Nick talks about being real in a society that just seems fake. People give each other the run-around in hopes to advance and move up the ladder of success, at all costs. Nick craves authenticity; it’s probably what’s driven him on his journey all over the country. Nick also believes that most people out there crave that same authenticity and realness. Hopefully, this podcast will start the conversation around being real with people and ourselves and striving like hell to bring more authenticity into our lives. Also, couldn’t find the article mentioned in the show… sorry  :/ …

I thought yesterday was Wednesday all day long. My apologies; I’ve been hella busy. But, I’m not going to leave you hanging!

In life, there will be things that you’ll need to do that you may not exactly want to do. However, it’s important to take a step back and see how those things affect the overall picture. Each stage of life should serve that ultimate goal, allow you to learn and better yourself, and help others somehow along the way. This podcast is based off an article I recently wrote entitled, “Doing Things You Don’t Want to Do.” There will absolutely be things you’ll find yourself doing that you do not wish to. But, it’s important to ensure that those things provide …

Far too many times, we find ourselves in a funk. We’re unable to get anything done because we’re overwhelmed with all that there is to do. We’re so overwhelmed that we decide that the best thing for us to do is to get organized. If we could just get organized, we would become more productive or so we tell ourselves. The truth is that we’ll never be perfectly ready to start, continue or start over. The best course of action is to take action! I discuss this topic further in this “in-between-a-sode.” Enjoy.
