But the refinement of that message is always going to come into question with the introduction of new platforms and change or shift in audience." "If your content sucks, even an expensive microphone or camera will not help you." "If you're not committed, and you don't make video a priority in what you're doing. It's always dismissible."

"There's been at least one cataclysmic event in a great person's life, that they had the opportunity to learn from or crumble. And that many times, it's through the pain that purpose comes." "The funny thing about pain is that it's not even for us. Many times the pain is actually for the other people that will have the opportunity to help. But it requires us not to ignore it, not to pretend it's not there. Not to work around it, but to be in the middle of it. Work through it. So we can get to the other side and be a benefit to other people. That's where the purpose comes through." "There's a level of potency that comes when you hear the truth." "What's ordinary to you is magic to others." "I will always tell them the truth. Because many times, that's the thing they're dying to hear. And all I have to do is share something that they've done that I thought has been extremely meaningful. That could be just the little bit of sunshine and water they need to blossom." "Everyone is a leader. We all have the opportunity to lead our own life." "Every time you deep dive deeper into trauma or wound or a shadow, there is another level of you that you get to meet." "It's very exhausting to pretend to be something that you're not." "We are the foundation of our lives. And then comes your relationships. And then everything builds on that. So if your relationships are really unhappy, then that's definitely going to bleed into your work."

"There's always going to be new things to learn, whether that's for your job or your personal growth and development." "Find books on those topics that fascinate you. And you'll never be bored of reading." "The more you exercise it, the more you will begin to enjoy it, and the easier it will become." "Appointment with yourself needs to be looked at is just as important as an appointment with somebody else." "Entrepreneurship forces you to think for yourself and to analyze things." "I wish I lived the life true to myself rather than life everybody else expected of me." "Do at least one thing that scares you." ACRONYM FOR D.R.E.A.M.: Jeff has interviewed nearly 400 authors and found that writing a book is not the only thing they have in common. These are traditionally successful people. They've been asked to write a book or, in many cases, paid to write books/given an advance to write books. Their words are carefully vetted and released into the world. Jeff analyzed what other things these successful people have in common and came up with five, which make up the acronym D.R.E.A.M. DANCE WITH DISCOMFORT - Successful people understand the value of living a life where they're consistently pushing themselves outside their comfort zone. RITUALIZE OR RE-ENGAGE - Ritualize or re-engage with reading on a regular basis. EXAMINE YOUR ENERGY - Audit your energy every now and then. ASSEMBLE YOUR ADVISORS - Surround yourself with people who have the same and/or similar goals and aspirations you do. MASTER YOUR MORNINGS - Understand the importance of self-care.

It is so hugely important and requires clarity. When it becomes clear what your message is, then you get to the point when you discover that it matters because it has to matter beyond you. Because if it's just you and you are the only one who cares about it, it is going to be hard to sell it." "Your passion changes, but your purpose remains." "I think passion equals pressure. Like, passion has to be the only thing that I spend my life doing. But the truth is, you are probably going to have multiple passions throughout your life." "Passion for me is what problem are you passionate about solving for the next 2 to 5 years." "I would get a hundred No's to get the one right Yes." "Think about a farmer analogy. Farmers don't measure the result, they measure their actions and so they wake up every day." "Consistency is the mother of momentum. If you want momentum, then you have to be consistent. That means being consistent even if you are not getting the results you want right away." "If you want to make a difference in this world you got to keep showing up because, remember, if you are not willing to do it for one person, why should you get a large audience?"

"We keep thinking that the next thing, next step, next to external achievement is going to fix it. But the thing is, there's nothing external that can fill an internal hole." "Life is an awareness game because every time we advance our awareness, we change the lens. Everything changes every time your awareness increases. Everything you see is different." "With our phones, we have this 24/7 curated constant entertainment so that we can keep our brains busy not to have to go inside and to feel." "Behind every business problem is an internal or personal one." "What a good coach does is really helps you compress time." "I got to blame my dad. I got to blame the military. I got to blame all these other things, but it wasn't until I had to look in the mirror and take responsibility myself and stop being a victim." "Emotions are like crayons.

"Your brain has something called the amygdala. It's like the heart of your brain. It's the shape of an almond. And it's, it's probably the size, maybe of an egg, maybe a little smaller, but when you have a lot of trauma, it gets enlarged and it pushes out cortisol." "I believe that God has designed in our DNA to have a father, to have a mother. And if that's imbalanced in any shape or form, we don't. We don't actually have our emotions balanced because our households are out of order, right. Households out of order. And so our brain can't form in a stable, structured manner.." "As I got older, I started acting out, like I became oversexualized and that's very common with any type of disciplinary type of upbringing and sexual abuse." "We are helping rescue all these beautiful souls from the depths and the hooks and the abuses of the traffickers." "We have trauma therapy, we have horse therapy. They learn how to cook, they have their own personal trainers, they have group therapy. The girls have a choice if they want to come to church or stay home and read a book or watch a movie - they can do that. But our whole program is holistic in healing." "I just assist in whatever way I can. A lot of it, in the time I've been married to Annie, has been as being an example of a husband that loves his wife and would die for her."

"What we tend to do is we put clarifying words in front of pain to make ourselves feel better ... like acute and chronic. What happens when we put the word chronic in front of pain, it immediately changes the definition." "When you start with the who, when you start with what, you know, what you're clear on, what you want to accomplish, the path that you want to serve, the goals you want to accomplish, then anything alternative of that is suffering." "What we all know, and this is why new year's resolutions fail consistently, is experts in habit formation will show us that there's always an up-front energy tax."

"So when we think about marketing we tend to think - it's just telling everybody we're the best, tell everybody why we're number one and we assume that's enough. But with social media now and the way the world communicates, there's just so much noise that all of these messages are the same."

"Be who you're created to be and do what you're designed to do so you can win at life and make an impact." "When you learn who you were created to be, you are then empowered to grow into what you are created to do." "Another fear for a lot of men is finding someone trustworthy to go to.

"I try to tell people to not be so cavalier with how they carry themselves and how they treat others because that will come back to you tenfold one way or another." "Perception is the only thing that matters. So if you're being perceived a certain way, that's what it is. Whether you like it or not. So you have to care what other people think." "You have to be real. You have to be authentic. You have to use your message to inspire and inject some positivity instead of injecting fear and negativity."
