Head trash is that guy saying "I can't do it because..." Identify what your head trash is and notice how it's affecting you. Not Having a Mentor – Someone who can show you how to get where you want to go. Find someone who is where you want to be and can show you how to get there. Look for someone system driven, not personality driven. There are levels of mentorship. Start slow and simple. To connect with your mentor, send a tweet, post on their Facebook wall, send them an email. "[Self-marketers] are naturals. That means they're unconsciously competent at allowing themselves to succeed. That means they can't really break down what they did and we can't replicate it."-NSJ Gathering too much information without giving yourself permission to succeed. Gathering information is addictive and it feels like you're being productive. Consuming info doesn't actually add any value. Overwhelm is an excuse. It means you don't have the right systems in place. This is something you can control. If you're drowning in information without implementation, you're going nowhere and it doesn't make you money. Take in less information and do more implementation. "We don't live in the information age, we live in the information overload age."-NSJ 21:25  "I would spend hours a day studying, reading books, taking notes and my business was flat. And finally, it was almost a breaking point...I know more than I need to know and I'm doing nothing with it. And I stopped and things just took off."-AE 22:01 Install the 5 main systems of support: People - Who are you listening to in your life? Wean yourself off the surrounding naysayers and get better people, like a mentor. Activities - What are you doing with the days of your life? Are you consuming or producing? Environment - Clean the clutter from your inner game and outer game. Your inner game: Beliefs, values, decisions. Introspection - Are you taking time every day to make sure your ladder of success is leaning against the right wall? Many are climbing the ladder of success that they don't want anymore. Simplify - Simplify your life, streamline your business. It's a superpower. "It's not just about how much money we make but how much of our lives we own."-NSJ   29:15 What is the best piece of advice you've been given in regards to marketing and growing your business?
