The dictionary defines Ambition as a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work. This is true. Though, I prefer the definition found in The Motivation Manifesto by Brendon Burchard: Ambition is the choice to be, have, do, or experience something greater in our lives.In this episode Norm and I discuss Ambition, how it's a choice, gaining momentum through action, and how learning can help make the path forward more clear.

It's useful to admit to the strength and existence of envy. I read in the "48 Laws Of Power" by Robert Greene to not appear too perfect. Appearing so will make silent enemy's out of your allies. This put envy on my radar as high risk. Though, it is one thing to mitigate envy in others and another to address it as an individual. In this episode Norm and I attempt to endure envy. We know it is present, but it does not serve us. Arnold Gates Instagram
