All of us, at some point or another, get "stuck" in life. We lose momentum, clarity and motivation. In this episode I share with you a simple formula, in a series of questions, designed specifically to generate that tangible momentum we all need. This is a prerequisite for accomplishing what we want, at a very high level.

Your mindset is everything... It determines what you do, how you respond, and ultimately what results you get.    What comprises your “mindset” is a series and combination of what I call “mentalities”. If your mindset is your wardrobe, your mentalities represent the many outfits you own and can deploy at any given moment.    Most are rigid, and have only 1-2 outfits. This leaves them stuck, frustrated and without hope in the face of so many of life’s circumstances.    So many are spoiled and want things to be given to them, that when things aren't, they complain. Take a look at social media... critics... trolls... fans... they love to complain, and demand more from those they watch. Aside from these people... you most likely do this as well. I want to show you how to identify when you're being entitled. I'll show you how to develop the mentality of a true boss; one who takes responsibility for everything.   KILLERINSTINCTSYSTEM.COM

In this episode, I show you the logic behind why this mentality fails you, and what to replace it with instead.   IMNOTYOU.COM/LEADER

Instead, we need to be steady and calm, riding the inevitable waves. Today, I show you how to build this mentality.   KILLERINSTINCTSYSTEM.COM

Throwing it back to our "How to deal with anxiety" episode!   "There will be no shortage of negative emotions that show up for you on your way to domination.....your job is to recognize it, and proceed with appropriate action. The problem, is that most of the time we listen to the lies of our emotions. In this episode, I break down the signals of these emotions and how you can use anxiety to grow."

It's only right that we throw this one back as we continue to work from home.   "In this episode I show you a tool I use to allow me to watch sports and movies without being a slave to corny television; burning all sorts of time on horrible shows, and getting abused by these cable companies." #UpOnGame  

Throwing it back to a major #Bars episode from one of the greatest... Nas   "If your desire is to be an influencer and lead people to a new reality, you will be challenged... with your past conditioning; people who don't agree; and the resistance of old patterns in those you lead.   That's why Nas' lyric in this song hits so close to home. You must take on the attitude of Nas, and be "oblivious to your skeptics".   This song is on heavy rotation, take a listen." #BARS

Throwing it back to our "Recipe for Domination" episode!   "There's a certain state of mind that one has to get into, once there's a certain result that has to be accomplished. The process isn't pretty, and it's not about balance; it's about sheer will... and it comes at a cost. Sacrifices will have to be made. It's about dominating at a different level, and few know what that looks like. In this episode, I break down that mindset."

The dreaded "imposter syndrome".....you decide what you want to accomplish, only to be plagued with feelings of unworthiness, doubt and indecision.   "Am I even good enough?"   "Maybe I could just wait to do this. I need more experience."   "There's too much competition."   If you give in to the voice, you'll remain stuck, stranded, and completely average.   You must learn how to overcome this tendency, and in this episode I detail exactly how to do that.   Time Stamps: (1:22) Are you this person? (2:19) We like "labeling" things... (5:04) What "The Imposter Syndrome" does to the weak (6:32) Reality: We're animals first (7:30) Reality: Change is initially scary to us (9:34) Reality: Don't be a victim. (10:55) The Alpha response: Understand your animal nature. (13:13) What a true killa thinks, when they feel the imposter syndrome on the road to success... (13:21) Killa's mindset: "I'm not good enough yet, and that's alright." (15:13) Killa's mindset: "I do not need to be perfect, to get into the game" (15:27)

The power and purpose of facing reality, and constantly accepting “what is” is defined by Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti. In this episode, I break down a quote in play-by-play fashion, and show you how this skill will alter your life forever. #BARS

Too many people wait for the right time…. only to find themselves waiting forever. You do not know how much time you have on this earth, so it serves you to take on Nipsey Hussle's mentality; to move now. He illustrates this mentality in his song “Perfect Timing”. #BARS
