We've got a very special guest this week on the #GRINDcast. Starting life as an illegal immigrant in Florida, battling opiate addiction as a young man, @Thomasproco managed to go from rock bottom to a highly successful Top Executive Coach at the Andy Elliot Group.
Last week, Brian Zuzick brought up the importance of the people you surround yourself with. Coincidentally I had that topic prepared for it's own episode, so we asked Brian to stick around and dig a little deeper.
With a blue collar background in construction, Brian Zuzick made the life changing decision to join Globe Life in 2012. He owns and operates Zuzick Organization and has developed a notably loyal team that is passionate about changing the lives of others. Follow Brian on Instagram @BrianZuzick

Before praying for new blessings, ask yourself what prayers have already been answered. Are you still as grateful today as you would've been when you were praying for them? Are you praying for the discipline and wisdom to keep them?
I was recently asked what advice I'd give my younger self. Today we're breaking down my answers. What is something you'd tell the younger version of yourself?
Feeling overwhelmed or unfocused? If you're overwhelmed, are you on top of mind, body spirit? If so, practice the 80/20 rule and prioritize accordingly. Unfocused? Define your why and remove all other distractions!

Achieving greatness doesn't allow for "balance." Imbalance creates imbalance... Putting in tons of time, effort, and resources upfront allows you the freedom to do as you please down the road. Pay now, play later!
Trust starts with reliability. That's just level 1. Do you do what you say you're gonna do? Can I believe what you say? Level 5 trust takes even more. What level are you at with the people on your team?
Do your daily habits align with the life you want? Goals that aren't backed by daily disciplines are just wishes. You build the life that you repeat daily.

The best way to handle pressure is to always be prepared for it! It's the reps when nobody is watching that will get you there. Elite performers don't ask themselves how they're feeling. They ask, "What is required for me to win?" and then they execute.
I've had the pleasure of developing a lot of young leaders over the last 20 years in business & this week we're breaking down a few of the most important things I've coached them on.
Being undeniable is about showing up consistently and putting in the work. If you approach things like that, the win is nearly inevitable. People can debate talent, skill, & luck, but nobody can deny you if you're getting the results.
Leveling up starts with your vision and it ultimately requires that you reinvent yourself. Success isn't a finish line, it's a series of upgrades!

Happy Holidays from everyone at the GRINDcast and Arias Organization! This week we're breaking down 5 key principles that separate the Good from the Great.
Greatness is expensive! You either choose the pain of discipline or the pain of disappointment. What level of suffering & sacrifice are you will to endure to achieve your goals?
Accumulating small daily wins is the roadmap to achieving massive success. The real difference maker in achieving your long term vision is consistency! Showing up for the small daily disciplines, mastering the day, winning the week... that's what leads to achieving your goals.
What is your vision? Are you disciplined enough to stick with it no matter what? To get there, you either choose the pain of discipline, or the pain of disappointment.
The first sale you need to make is to sell your partner on the vision. If you can't do that, either the vison need to change, or your support system needs to change.
Life is an auction! If you want that job, that house, that championship, you have to be willing to "outbid" your competition by doing more, sacrificing more, & potentially overpaying to guarantee a win.
A successful foundation to anything in life is reliant on commitment and the ability to keep working at it well beyond the honeymoon phase. Are you committed?
Saw an IG reel recently where the guy said, "Our job is a personal development plan w compensation attached." It doesn't matter what specific career you're in. In most cases, the levels of success & compensation you achieve are directly linked to the ways you have personally grown and become a more valuable asset.
Success is achieved through disciplined habits that build towards your goals, and by saying no to the urges towards distaractions & temporary fun. "The central part (of training) is in dodging the night clubs, and that parties, and the girls. You want the truth? And being in the bed by yourself at 9:00 at night, and if you can get by that, you'll make it. That's the truth." - Muhammad Ali
The road map to success is filled with peaks and valleys. Your ability to navigate the valleys is what determines the heights of your success.
"Everbody wants the view, nobody wants the climb" We're breaking down this and a few other quotes this week on the GRINDcast. Drop some of your favorite quotes in the comments.
