    Eye of the Tiger and Sustained Victory | Ep 230

    enAugust 18, 2020

    Podcast Summary

    • The importance of maintaining a hungry mindset for business growthSuccessful business owners continue to grow by staying hungry and focused on implementing new strategies, while complacent ones hinder their ability to expand.

      Maintaining a hungry mindset is crucial for business growth. The speaker shared an experience from a mastermind session with top-performing gym owners. He noted that those who were successful and continued to grow had a strong hunger to succeed, while others had become complacent. An example was given of gym owners only being available for new clients for an hour a day, which hindered their ability to grow. The speaker emphasized that once people have achieved a level of success, it's easy to become complacent and lose focus on growth tactics. The hunger and drive to continue implementing strategies and pushing for growth are essential for long-term success.

    • Unlocking Full Potential by Facing FearsSuccess requires consistent determination and focus. Identify internal motivations and face fears to unlock full potential.

      Our internal motivation and fear are powerful drivers for success. The speaker suggests that we often don't give our best efforts until our personal stakes are high, such as when someone's life depends on it. However, to be truly successful, we need to tap into that same level of determination and focus consistently. The most successful people are driven by deep-seated insecurities or fears, and they are willing to make sacrifices to achieve their goals. So, the real question is, are we truly committed to what we claim we want? If we are, we would already have it. We need to identify our internal motivations and face our fears head-on to unlock our full potential. In essence, we all have the answers within us, but we need to be willing to take action and coach ourselves to reach our goals.

    • Entrepreneurs' struggle with personal life balanceSuccessful entrepreneurs prioritize, commit, and manage time effectively to balance business and personal life. Leaving a podcast review can make a difference.

      Successful entrepreneurs focus on their businesses but struggle to balance their personal lives. This inconsistency often stems from an inability to prioritize and manage their headspace, relationships, and time effectively. The speaker emphasizes the importance of being genuinely hungry and committed to achieving one's goals. If entrepreneurs are not willing to put in the effort, they should accept their limitations and not constantly complain about what they lack. The speaker also encourages listeners to help spread the word about the podcast to assist in reaching more entrepreneurs and making a positive impact on their businesses and personal lives. A simple yet powerful action that can make a significant difference is leaving a review, which only takes a few seconds but could change someone's world.

    • Overcoming internal obstacles to grow a gym businessConsistently execute known strategies, address internal obstacles, and be aware of productive hours to grow a gym business

      The key to success in running a gym, or any business, lies not in discovering new tactics or hacks, but in consistently executing the known strategies and addressing the underlying reasons for not taking action. Once a gym owner learns how to grow their business through Gym Launch or similar resources, they may feel a sense of responsibility for not having done so earlier. The tactics are readily available, but the real challenge is overcoming internal obstacles that prevent one from putting in the necessary effort. These obstacles could range from lack of motivation to fear of failure or even self-doubt. To achieve optimal outcomes, it's essential to examine the reasons for not taking action and address them head-on. Additionally, being aware of the most productive hours for reaching potential clients and making yourself available during those times can significantly impact your business growth. Successful gym owners, like Ed Tourney and Mike Redfone, have already mastered these fundamentals and continue to thrive by consistently applying them.

    • Find motivation from within, not external factorsFocus on internal deficiencies, acknowledge and confront fears, and find motivation in personal growth and efforts

      Motivation for success should come from within, not from external factors such as money or relief. Instead, focus on identifying and addressing internal deficiencies that may be holding you back. As the speaker shared, fear and insecurity can often be major obstacles. By acknowledging and confronting these fears, you can unlock a stronger, more determined version of yourself. This mindset shift can lead to consistent progress and ultimately, achieving your goals. Don't wait for a big sigh of relief when you make a lot of money; instead, find motivation in the internal efforts and growth.

    • Understanding why we don't utilize our skills to make moneyExamining underlying causes can help unlock potential to make a positive impact beyond personal needs.

      Our motivation to make money often comes from a place of necessity rather than a desire to grow or contribute. We have the skills and knowledge to earn money when we need it, but we don't always use them. The key is to understand why we don't utilize these abilities consistently. By examining and addressing the underlying causes, we can unlock our potential to build something greater than ourselves. It's not enough to only satisfy our own needs; we must strive to make a positive impact on a larger scale. When we focus on satisfying a community, a state, or even a nation, our goals become more significant than our individual selves. This mindset shift can help us overcome the barriers preventing us from reaching our full potential.
