“The sure sign of an amateur is that they have a million plans and they all start tomorrow.” — Steven Pressfield If you're not good at something, or you haven't got the result you want, you either haven't done the necessary reps or you're doing the wrong reps. In this minisode, we're going to blast that mindset once and for all... Onward, James PS - Tickets are now available for the 2024 Win the Day Mastermind and I'm bringing in the big guns!

Take out a pen and piece of paper. Write down what you want. Don't worry. Nobody's going to see it. Can't think of just one thing? Write it all – everything you want. The next step? Create this life where you get to have the things you want. Today's guest, Angela Pugh, is a master life coach, speaker, entrepreneur, and host of the nationally-ranked Addiction Unlimited podcast. In this episode, she shares an important realization she had on her journey to sobriety: that she was not the victim of her life, and that she needed to play a more active role in creating the life she wanted. Beautiful, you are not a side character, and your desires are not selfish. YOU are the star of your own life, and you have the power to create your own reality! IN THIS EPISODE: Angela's story of sobriety, from bartending in Hollywood to her life-changing event that motivated her to cut bad habits and become a better person Progressive drinking – many people don't drink “too much” when they first start but drink more and more as they grow older A realization Angela had while being a sober bartender – that people are most amazing when they're in their right mind The idea of taking the life that's unfolding in front of you vs. creating the life you want and taking personal responsibility for the life you've created Visualizing the person you want to be like when life gets difficult, from mothers to future selves to Oprah REFLECTION QUESTION: Has this podcast (or Karolina's book or Instagram presence) helped you and your life?

Reinventing Yourself From the Outside In: Jason Leister Frequently, we're told to work on our Inner Selves to get the Outer World to look as we'd like. (That's a rough oversimplification of the advice but you get the point.) Jason Leister has a take on this that goes the other way around: Reinventing Yourself From The Outside In His article below clarifies what he means quite nicely. But I'll boil it down a hair for you: If you want to be something, start doing the actions of that thing. Excepting brain surgeons, and such, you're pretty much free to do some version of whatever professional title it is you'd like to own. There are plenty of jobs and careers that can get underway simply by starting from scratch, then figuring it out as you go. If nothing else, I've found that this is how most jobs go anyhow. You start with a basic understanding of the necessary skill sets and the rest...you wing! You learn as you go...BY DOING! In the job world, this is called being Thrown To The Wolves. Another approach: you learn to swim by sinking or swimming after you've been tossed in the lake. What's found inside Outsiders Journey is nothing more than example after example of this very lesson in action. This site is hogmungous! It has systems integrated left and right to do all it does, most of which you can't even see. And I've been reinventing it for years on end! It's had other systems come and go that were awesome but somehow became incongruous with my needs. It was all hard to locate, learn, and implement. But I did it. Many, many times over. And it all functioned well! But I didn't go to school to learn how to do any of it (excepting some AWAI courses I took awhile back). I just got frustrated (usually) and started reinventing the infuriating section...again and again and again. Point is, if you want to be something, start by physically acting as that thing and pick up steam as you go. A final viewpoint on all of this–and something I'm borrowing from Jason himself–is "Who Certifies The Certifiers?" For all you know, you're already the best person to do whatever it is you wish you could do. So just start doing it! Subscribe To OJ Podcast!

But the reverse can also be true. You become something by acting like it! Who certifies the certifiers? Just do it! You're free to reinvent yourself at any time. Just start. Outsiders Journey is my living, breathing version of my multiple reinventions. I share what I've learned through all these reinventions, including the current one, to help other Outsiders go pro with whatever it is that differentiates them from the herd. The more you pick at it, the closer you get to being it. Some of you are going to find the works of Steven Pressfield to be in credibly helpful in all this.

The War Of Art: I've read this book about 4 or 5 times now. But I no longer remember the particulars. What I can tell you is: if you're struggling to do the thing that needs doing; the thing that gnaws at you in your dreams and nightmares. The thing that whispers to you while you're at your shitty job; the thing that makes the rest of your life impossible, but you haven't addressed yet, then get this book.

The Chop Wood Carry Water Method for Getting Clients: Jason Leister This is really all about Doing The Work. And it is something I struggle to do with any sort of consistency. In this site, I do loads of work, constantly. But the work is of a varied nature and often separate from the work that actively reaches out to the rest of the world, at least directly. I work in cycles, bursts, and unplanned segments It's how my head works. It's also a big part of what makes the rest of life harder for me. Well, harder, in that, I have trouble doing the things that keep my life running smoothly, as well as the lives of those closest to me. I'm unpredictable, even to myself And yet...the work must get done. I guess what I'm telling you is, besides making sure that you do the work, don't punish yourself too harshly as you refine your methods for getting the work done. Too much harsh self-criticism and you may find that the work sops altogether. And that would be bad. Subscribe To OJ Podcast!

Photographer of top image: Malte Wingen [The following article is reprinted with permission from Jason Leister at www.IncomparableExpert.org] The Chop Wood Carry Water Method For Getting Clients By Jason Leister You’ve probably heard the saying about “before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water – after enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.” That’s what I do in my business. I chop wood, I carry water. Today, I’d like to tell you the story of how that came about and why it’s become such a valuable business building tool for me. It all started back during my time as a music student in college. Year one was inspiring.
Go to any major entertainment city like Nashville, New York, or Los Angeles, and you'll see two types of artists -- those who are making a ton of money and those who are broke.
