How you deal with this struggle will ultimately determine whether or not you succeed or fail, as well as the quality of your life as you progress.  In this episode I break down the "Killa Way" to struggle, the method that allows you to struggle in style and effectiveness. 

In this episode, I break down the seven essential areas of your sport you must dominate, in a very practical and thorough way. Most are trying to dominate without knowing the rules...this is foolish.

It’s all about the close… Preparation is nothing more than a tool, and a means to an end. None of the previous planning will matter if you cannot make the most important close of all, and that is convincing yourself to move forward, to answer your own internal objections, and take aggressive action towards your desired goals. To do that, you must be equipped in skilled self Q&A... posing questions to yourself to expose and rid yourself of doubt, to create emotional and logical alignment.

We humans are complicated creatures... while we are selfish and animalistic by nature (most of the time driven by the need to excel and outmatch others), we also have a divine side to our nature. We want to help... we want to contribute to something bigger… Getting in touch with these divine motivations allows us to persist in the face of the most trying circumstances, and generate an endless energy that leads to the accomplishment of the most worthy goals. In step #18, I show you how to connect with that energy. Go to Imnotyou.com/dominate2021 to download the planning formula worksheet.

Having a plan is well and fine, but you still will feel some doubt, anxiety and even fear towards executing the plan, the prospects of failure, and even the prospects of success. If you're not careful, you'll end the next year with nothing accomplished but a well written plan. The key is to find just what your true motivations are: the reasons why you must accomplish this goal. Most posture and proclaim a bunch of noble and corny reasons, doing nothing to generate energy and action… this wont be us. In this episode, I teach you how to lock into your dark side motivations, the selfish and animalistic motivations that everyone ignores, but the most dominant keep close to them.

The work required to accomplish our goals will no doubt be difficult... so why do we sabotage ourselves with a conflicting environment? Friends and associates who hold us back with their infectious negative energy… our homes and offices riddled with trash and clutter... We can make our work easier by purging and cleansing our environments of anything that does not serve a clear purpose. That is well within our realm of control.

There's a reason why most never reach their goals… and its not necessarily because they don't work hard enough, or the goal is too complicated... it's because before they get to taste success, the other areas of their lives come crashing down because they are not built to withstand the pressure.
