JAYSON WALLER UNLEASHED

Today on the show Jayson is discussing why it's so important to work on yourself first before worrying about what other people think about you. It's all about quality vs. quantity, spend time with yourself reflecting on what you can do to be more productive and efficient with your time. Spend an hour every day with yourself, meditating, relaxing, reflecting, whatever you need to do to help your personal and professional life improve. Happiness is something that is fully in your control, no one else can decide if you're happy, so you need to focus on that happiness, and what you can do in your life to improve it.

Today on the show Jayson is talking about the three categories of people, and why the last two are toxic to be around. You have the people that are excited for you and stick around as your supporters, these are the ones you need to keep around and have a relationship with. The second category, being the people who are intimidated by and don't want to speak up or talk about you, these people are scared, they can't achieve what you have, and they don't like it. The third category are the haters, the ones who are so jealous of your success that they need to talk crap about you behind your back. These people can fuel you if you have the right perspective, let their jealousies and hatred motivate you to keep going. We've all been in these categories, it's up to you to stay in the first category and keep the people around you that are going to lift you up.

Today on the show Jayson discusses why reinforcing self-confidence is so important in every aspect of your life. Overconfidence doesn't exist, if you believe in yourself and you know you will succeed, that's not arrogance, that's how successful people think.

If you need to fake confidence until you can look yourself in the mirror and invest in yourself, that's what you need to do!

Today on the show we're talking with Tucker Max, founder and former CEO of Scribe Media. We discuss the importance of believing in the skills that you have, and knowing how to use them effectively. We talk about how Tucker was fired from his family business when his dad valued loyalty over good work. Writing a book is not an easy thing to do, especially when you're someone who is busy and don't have a lot of time to work on it. That's where Scribe Media comes into play, they help identify what the book will be about, and how to get it written with the least friction. Scribe has 3 questions you need to answer to create a great book: 'What do you want?', 'Who are you trying to serve?', and 'What do you have to say that matters to those people?'. Authenticity is hard to come by, and when employees, investors, or co-workers see that you are being honest and forward with them, that incurs a lot of respect. Tune in to hear how Tucker Max turned authenticity into success!

Today on the show Jayson talks about being able to bend, but not break. To be able to take the hits with the wins. He discusses how making mistakes will teach you so much more than any of your successes will. You have a 100% survival rate on this Earth, you have gotten through every trouble you've ever had, you're here! Rather than wallowing in the failures and mistakes that you've made, focus on getting yourself better, start working out, start learning something new, keep your mind busy and challenge yourself every single day! You will work yourself out of a rut in no time. There are lions and there are sheep, the lions don't have to be entrepreneurs, or millionaires, or thought leaders. It's someone who loves what they do and has passion every day. Those that are great, are no different than the average person, it's just the mindset that they have in the morning, and when they go to sleep. Always grind, always stay positive, and strive to inspire yourself and the people around you. That's success.

Jayson has built 3 different businesses while following his intuition and has learned to build that skill which he uses every day.

Today on the show we're talking to Monty Moran, CEO of Chipotle. Monty talks about how he started as a lawyer, quickly moved up the ranks in his law firm and became the CEO of his law firm because the partners saw he was a leader. He then had Chipotle as a client, and the CEO of Chipotle saw how well his firm was doing and wondered how Monty had created such a great culture, and brought him on as co-CEO of Chipotle. Monty talks about the 3 reasons why people aren't happy in your company.There are low performers, which is rare, not knowing the standards of your workplace, and most importantly your employees are not feeling empowered. Empowerment can lead to some amazing results, if every one of your employees feels like they are furthering themselves as well as the company, you know you've built a successful culture. People are much more in common than they are different, Monty went out to show that people are connected in a lot of ways. He shot a documentary series called, Connected: A Search for Unity airing on PBS.

Today on the show John LeBlanc is back and interviews Jayson about why you need to stop overthinking your problems, and start quickly making decisions, to solve them! Jayson talks about how he hates the phrase "what if" and how it means that you are looking backwards, when you should be trying to fix the problems that are at hand right now. It's important to think of yourself last in business decisions, first think about how this will affect your brand and your team, then about how it will affect you. When making important decisions, Jayson thinks about how it will impact right now, tomorrow and 6 months from now. Thinking any further down the road than that will allow you to start overthinking the problem at hand. Follow the facts, make an informed decision, but ultimately following your gut will help you make quick decisions. Don't try to make the right decisions, take action and move forward from there!

Today Jayson talks about depression and how to deal with it. The fact is, it's different for everyone, it manifests differently and everyone deals with it differently, but appreciating what's around you, leaving the past in the past, and taking it one step at a time, WILL help you get past whatever you are dealing with. If you are breathing, if you're alive today, you are batting 100% in terms of getting over your depression! If there are negative people in your life, get rid of them, if there is negativity on the TV, quit watching it. Cut what you can, it's you versus the world, and the world isn't going to play fair. Start working out, start praying, start therapy, whatever you have to do to become a better person, DO IT!

Today on the show we're talking with Barry Sanders about his esteemed football career, winning the heisman, breaking records, and being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Barry talks about how he is always raising his own bar, there is never a "top", you're always working, and grinding to achieve your goals. Even as a young kid Barry was consumed by football, he would watch the games every week, go out and throw the ball around, and even play his electronic football games. It was no surprise that he would go on to be one of the greatest players of all time. Barry grew up with 10 siblings, he learned how to compete with his brothers at a young age, that taught him to keep pushing himself. Barry always loved what he did and he saw success when the team succeeded, he could have had the all time rushing record in his rookie season, but he let the guys who didn't get to play often in. He never had to prove anything to anyone but himself. Staying in the moment and not looking too far ahead has been Barry's motto his whole life. He played with guys in high school who thought they were going to the NFL. Barry knew that he had to take things one step at a time, and become the best without losing focus on where he was.

Many businesses and entrepreneurs fail when starting up because they don't have a proper plan in place. Not just something to get you started, but a plan for the next 8 or 9 years down the road. Jayson, Jeff, Bryan and Jeff talk about looking ahead, and creating an action plan on how to get there, performing that plan every day. The business world moves very fast, that's why getting complacent in business is like going backwards. If you're not working to improve your business every single day, other people will be doing that work, and they will surpass you. As Wayne Gretzky once said, "Go where the puck will be, not where it is". Staying comfortable means you're not growing, it means you aren't trying new things and learning from mistakes and successes! You need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable! Experience failure, and learn from those lessons.
