In 1519, Cuban conquistador Hernan Cortes led his men to the Mexico coastline to defeat the Aztecs. This was a task that was basically a death wish, based on the Aztecs collective strength and barbaric tendencies. Cortes was able to energize his men, well, up until it was time to fight. When his men starred death, fear and discomfort in the eyes, they asked to retreat back to complacency. Cortes demanded "burn the ships". There was no going home. They were to win or die trying. 

This powerful historical story is one that applies to all of our lives. Success sounds appealing and we are all motivated by the outcome of hard work. However, many people fold when it comes to taking action. This is because action comes with stress, failure, discomfort and more. Us as humans HATE these feelings. However, these feelings are required for growth. Everything that we want in life is on the other side of fear.

This podcast is all about how you can apply Cortes' 3 simple words to your life. Remove all options that lead to your lack of commitment. Go all in on your personal goals and watch your life evolve in front of your eyes!

• The story of Hernan Cortes
• What to learn from the fall of the Aztecs
