If you had a 1% chance of winning would you still go for it? If not why? Just consider that only real difference between you and the 1% is complete BELIEF! A belief that they can be, do, and have the 1% of what most won't. If you want to win the 1% then you must believe in that you could ever be the 1%!

If you are human, then you can expect to not feel 100% every day. Meaning you won't always feel pumped up and motivated. You won't always feel like doing the work. You won't always be "inspiring". But... that's ok! You may be tempted to beat yourself up for this. Telling yourself you suck, you are no good, and just a failure because you aren't 100%. In today's episode, I discuss the dangers of doing this and what you can do instead to create more POWER rather than beating yourself down.

Are you worried about what people will say? Have people told you that you can't do something? Just consider that YOU are your only critic. Because YOU get to choose what is true and what is not. You get to interpret all things and what that means for you. When you base all that you do or don't do off of what you have determined what is real for you, then you will see that you are in control of what you can actually do or not do. Have you let the "critics" stop you from living and creating the life you want? Chances they have come more from you than anyone else and chances are you have are being way too harsh on yourself. My invitation to you is to ELIMINATE all the critics whether they be from yourself or anyone else who may be planting seeds that is causing you to believe them.

Have you ever lost yourself along the way? I know that I have, in fact, it’s one of the biggest reasons why I haven’t created any episodes on the Elite Alpha Podcast lately. I had gotten so caught up in so many other things with my competition and trying to juggle both being a personal trainer and a coach and mentor. Luckily for me, I had my coach and mentor reach out to me and remind me how easy it is to lose ourselves along the way. He told me something power which was… Be you that’s the only way you can show up powerful in life. You see it’s easy to want to compare yourself to others who may be on a similar path as you. You start to see what others are doing and it can make you question what you are doing. You may feel like you aren’t as good as they are and that you just aren’t ever going to be able to do what they are doing. So the easiest thing to do is to try and mimic them, hoping that it will get you to where you want to be. But, just consider that this only causes you to actually lose power and lose yourself in the process. You see I noticed that I lost my own ability to think for myself and follow my own intuition of what is right for me. I lost clarity of where and why I was doing what I was doing. When I saw this I knew I needed to do stop before I lost myself anymore. So, what can you do if this happens? How do you get back to where you need to be? My solution…’Go back to the basics. Go back to creating simple habits and hold the line. You see I had gotten away from the simple habits that I run in the morning to generate daily power. I have made complicated and this caused me to lose power and rather than progress I actually started to go backward. So, if you see that you have lost momentum and fallen off track, then here’s what I would have you consider… Create simple daily habits that will allow you to create daily power. Whether it's reading a book, meditating, or working out I suggest doing all of them . Really start to do things that will allow you to start each day with power. It is amazing what these simple daily habits will do for you. You may think it is too simple, but try just try doing this for 1 week straight. 1.Wake up early 2. Read something inspiring 3. meditate 4. journal 5. show love and appreciation to someone 6. plan the day Try it and you will see that naturally, you begin to generate power.

I had an amazing opportunity to sit down and catch up with one of my very first coaches and mentors. It was a powerful conversation and there were 4 life-changing lessons that I took away from that conversation. In this episode, I share with you those 4 lessons and if you will apply them, they will transform your life forever!

Have you ever had to make a really tough decision? One that could be consider risky? A decision where it felt like your whole life could change? And while trying to come up with which choice would be the best, you find yourself being pulled back and forth. One minute you know it’s the best choice you could make, but then the next day you find yourself questioning that choice again? Well, I share this with you because this is exactly where I have been lately. To give you a little more background on me, I am not a person who sits around and waits. I have always been a person who just jumps into things and takes actions. This has been something that has benefited me in a lot of different ways, but it has also been something that has created a lot of unnecessary problems/challenges for myself. Getting myself into situations where I could have avoided them if I would have thought it through a little more clear. But more importantly if I would have stayed clear on what I actually wanted in life. You see as I sat and pondered on which choice was going to be the best or right choice. As I went to my wife and asked her on what I should do, I was completely lost at what I should do. But then I remember hearing my coaches and mentors voice in my head and asking me the question: “MATT WHAT DO YOU WANT?" It was at that very moment that I realized that, that was the only question I needed to answer to make the choice I needed to make. Because once you know what you truly want in life, the only choices you need to make in life are those that will bring you closer to what you want, NOTHING ELSE! Had I have stayed focused 6 months ago, I would have realized that the choice I made was not aligned with what I wanted in life and would take me away from what I wanted to create in life. So here’s the valuable lesson from this, GET CLEAR ON WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU WANT TO CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT! Having talked to many clients through my career, one of the most common answer I get to the question What do you want is... I don’t know! My response to them is always well don’t you think this is going to make it hard for you to ever work towards anything? Which we usually both laugh, because it’s at that moment my client will realize how simple it is, but how often it is the one question that they had never considered asking themselves. Here’s the POWER of getting clear, when you are clear you know EXACTLY what daily actions you must take in order for you to create the outcome. Think about how much easier it would be if you knew what: *Body and Health you wanted? Not just 10 LBS gone, but to have abs, to have tons of energy, and just not be limited by your health. Wouldn’t it make avoiding that piece of cake easier to decline? Some of you may have said, “NO” well then it’s time for you to start telling the truth to yourself because what you actually want is cake which must mean you don’t want what I stated above. It’s ok nothing wrong with it, but it’s always better when you learn to tell the truth. *What about your spirituality? What if you got clear on what spirituality actually meant for you and what it looked like for you? Then how would that change who or what your worshipped or even how you lived your life? *What about your marriage? How different would you show up if you got clear on the kind of marriage and relationship with your kids you wanted? What daily actions would you have change or become better at doing if you were to create that marriage and relationship with your kids? *What about your finances? What would you have to do differently today? What kind of career or business must you be in in order for you to create the kind of financial freedom you are wanting? I would just have you consider that the moment you FINALLY just get clear on what you it is that you actually want in life, the sooner you will STOP doing ANYTHING that does not bring you closer to what you actually do want. This is why CLARITY IS POWER! The moment you get clear in life, it makes the doing that much easier. Are you clear? If not, I would invite you to sit down today like NOW, because you are WASTING your life by not being clear. Sit down with pen and paper and write down everything you want so that you can GET CLEAR! Clear about the kind of health and physical shape you want Clear about your spirituality Clear about the kind of marriage and relationship with your kids Clear about the kind of financial and lifestyle you want to live. www.theelitealpha.com

If there’s one thing business and life has taught me, especially when setting new big goals is this... …CHANCES ARE YOU’RE GOING TO COME UP SHORT! Now most people look at this as failure, but I don’t believe in failure, because no one truly fails, you just come up short. But just consider when you set out to achieve a new big lofty goal, in your mind you may think that you have it all figured out and that your plan is going to work out perfectly, now wouldn’t that be nice? I mean we really set ourselves up for the belief of failure, because of these expectations we tend to place upon ourselves. Because chance are IF it’s your first time ever going after something you want, you will come up short. There have been so many business ventures and ideas that I have come up short in, add on top of the lack of commitment I had to them, but I have come up short over and over again in my business ventures, and yet each and everyone of them has done one thing for me... …THEY HAVE TAUGHT ME VALUE LESSONS ON WHAT I CAN DO BETTER! Anything I have set out to do in my life and come up short, I have always walked out better. I have come out on the other end knowing something I didn’t know before. My short comings have allowed me to be better physically, emotionally, mentally, relationships, and business. My short comings show me that I am NOT afraid to take action. And with all action it will move you one step closer than you were. The only set backs you will have in life are the times you choose not take action. The moment you don’t move at all is the moment you begin to move backwards. My invitation to you is to stop avoiding and stop letting your fears and doubts stop you from going after the things you truly want in life. Plan on coming up short, but be willing to find the solutions on what you can do better to move you forward. Consider that there is NO such thing as failure. There are just finding ways of what doesn’t work and the moment you discover what does finally work for you, will be the moment everything changes for you.

Are you living your life the way society tells you that you "should be" living it? Just consider that the should's of society are all RELATIVE! Which means that they don't necessary even apply to you. In fact I would have you consider that the should's and system of society is... ...BROKEN! Why? Because we have evolved! What worked generations ago... ...NO LONGER WORK! More and more people are fat and out of shape, dying because of it. More and more people are lost in life and have no idea what their purpose is. More and more people are getting divorces and have broken relationships. More and more people have financially broke and living pay check to pay check. I would invite you to STOP living the should's of society and start getting clear on what works and what doesn't work for... ...YOU! Start finding you want and start only doing the things that get you to what you want. Because... ...THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!

Today I have officially released the Elite Alpha Life: The Awakening 2.0 Part of this process was for me to post my story and my journey. This video was Not easy for me to do and it was NOT easy for me post. But this is something I have been wanting to do for awhile now. I have been working on putting the words together on what I wanted to share and how I wanted to share it. Once I started shooting it, it ended up being about 45 min long, and I really didn’t feel like it needed to be that long. So I reshot it and got it down to about 15 min. Well that was last night July 13th 2016 and once it was done, I was laying in bed with my wife and I say to her, “I don’t WANT to post that." She asked me why? And I said, “I just don’t feel like it’s that good and I don’t know if anyone will watch it and Blah blah blah." All of this resistance or what I call stories started to show up. My wife looked at me and said, “Just do it! It’s good as it is and it will be fine." You see this is what I would have you consider that the only goals worth having and creating are those that give you the MOST RESISTANCE! YES the MOST resistance. Because THAT is how you GROW! Just consider in your life where you have avoided a goal or avoided going after something you wanted in life, because you saw or felt like it was too BIG of a challenge or that it was just too HARD? And here’s the reality, If you don’t CONFRONT your resistance or stories you will always SETTLE! You will always STAY the same. You will always stay FAT and out of Shape. You will always feel UNWORTHY and disconnected from God or a Higher Power. You will always have a disconnect within your marriage and relationships. You will always be finically BROKE and never live the lifestyle you desire. You see once I saw that if I choose not to do what I said I would do... …I WOULD NEVER CREATE THE LIFE I WANT! You see I’ve been at a point in my life where I’ve avoided doing the work. I’ve been FAT and overweight. I’ve felt unworthy and disconnected to God. I’ve have broken relationships. I’ve been completely broke. So I KNOW that when you avoid the work and you give into the stories in your own head, it only creates a life of... …MISERY! So my question to you today is... …WHERE MUST YOU CONFRONT THE STORIES YOU’VE CREATED? Where in your life whether its within your Fitness, Spirituality, Relationships, or Business must you stop AVOIDING and RESISTING and start CONFRONTING? Just consider how by confronting your stories how this will move your life forward to creating the life that you true desire?
