You've boldly taken on so much...you're a leader, responsible for results, and a true lion in the jungle. You've given up the security so many crave so that you can be truly free...the problem is that right now, you are overwhelmed with the amount of things that are simply outside of your control. People, circumstances, changes...it makes you feel hopeless and helpless, and these feelings are leading you to turn to vices, procrastinate, and even shirk your responsibilities. Your challenge is giving up the childish need to control the wrong things, and instead focus on complete self mastery... the ultimate high and feeling of control that is elusive to so many. You must take real control, and condition these feelings until every cell of your body stands at attention to you... your body is a slave to your mind, and your mind becomes the fearless captain.

You've decided to set new goals in new life...you crave a new reality, and you've even got plans in place. The problem is that you are being paralyzed by feelings of regret…..guilt...this is turning into depression. You've lost motivation, and you're afraid to face the reality of your past. You must build a fearless attitude towards your mistakes, and allow yourself to learn and grow. This will lead to an excitement and boldness that your vision requires. You must condition this acceptance, and allow yourself to be free of the past.

Anytime we see the success we crave, we begin to think that it happened overnight, and this can lead to chronic feeling of frustration, and even envy. In this episode, I share with you a clip from a J. Cole concert, where he takes a short break in order to drop some wisdom on the crowd. He helps to put things into perspective, and shows why he is also one of the wisest and smartest emcees in the game. #BARS

You are in a game 7 scenario...results are on the line. You have prepared as much as you can, now it's time to perform and create the success you've wanted. You desire to feel confident, but the nervousness and anxiety are taking a toll on your body. You worry... 'Can I make it happen? What if I lose? Can I really do this?' You must let go of these paralyzing emotions and take on a fearless game 7 mentality that is true in all of the greats. Your goal is to feel confident, loose, excited and free...and trusting yourself fully. This is the way to win.

Do you struggle with the "Imposter" syndrome? Habitual feelings of "unworthiness", that lead to self-sabotage, procrastination and undervaluing who you are and what you do?

Listen to these affirmations to give you a visceral feeling of worthiness and confidence, and watch how these feelings will lead to bolder actions and a surge of self-confidence.

You know you need to meditate... but you still struggle to do it every day. I can relate.

In this episode, I show you how to instill the consistency required to make this meditation a habit for you. #UpOnGame

Malcolm X was known for his fearlessness and bold mentality, and is someone who absolutely embodies the I'm Not You spirit. While he is no longer here with us physically, his words remain just as relevant today as they were in the 60's, and they have an even broader appeal. Listen and see if you can take the Malcolm X approach to your goals, society's pressure, and your old tired mindsets. #BARS

How far away does your goal feel like? To go after "Ambitious goals", this means you have to deal with the pain that comes from being "far away". This leads to feelings of apathy, failure, and lack of urgency. This can also breed a feeling of "who cares….will I ever make it?" Any goal worth having takes time. Listen and let these affirmations bleed into your subconscious and create feelings of confidence and control.

In this debut mental conditioning series, I show you how to design your new dominant mindset by challenging negative beliefs with strategic and tactical affirmations. What happens when you set a goal, only to fall short again and again? What feelings show up for you? If you're not careful, you will develop feelings of failure and disappointment, and this will lead to more of the same. We must learn how to take control of our own minds, and condition the right emotions. I walk you through how to create your own "G-Code" -your mindset - in a way that feels good. Enjoy, and use this tool over and over in order to condition your mind. Take this tool seriously; as it is wildly effective. You will enjoy how you feel afterwards.

I love YouTube as much as the next person, and anytime I come across a new channel that's valuable, I have to share it. "VYOB" is one of my go-to channels for daily motivation, and once you listen I am positive you'll feel the same. #UpOnGame

It's easier to hear advice about how to "be the best" from someone who isn't that....but what about when you hear it from someone who is the best? In this episode, I break down a clip from a Draymond Green interview where he explicitly breaks down his mentality towards being "great", which has become somewhat of a cliche....but Draymond removes the vagueness and highlights what he truly believes. #InterviewBars

There's this idea going around that you can't accomplish more than one "big" goal at a time, and you need to focus on only one area of life at a time. Hmmmmmm. My experience says otherwise, and in this episode, I want to show you how to go about making big things happen in more than one area of your life, at the same time.

Your relationship with God is supposed to empower, embolden and clarify your life....yet so many people seem to be more confused, less confident, and even castrated by the ideas and unwritten guidelines that their religion imposes. In this episode, I challenge you to question your views and beliefs, and to create some much needed clarity on some key questions. Don't be mad, they are just questions...

Life can sometimes deal us a hand that seems impossible to work with....but it doesn't change the fact that you have that hand.

In one of Nipsey's most grittiest songs, he lays out his entire philosophy on pressure, which shows how he was able to accomplish so much in so little time. Listen as I highlight these bars, and show tribute to one of the greats. #BARS

We all want to accomplish our ultimate goals. Action is a prerequisite. However, some of you are too afraid to move before you feel you are ready. This can't be you. You gotta move despite the fear. Listen as I explain practically how to make moves before you are ready and I explain Killer Instinct V to those who want to take their game and life to the next level.

Most of your peers are victims....and you most likely are, too. Being a "victim" means you act helpless to change your circumstances, and life bullies you into submission everyday. In this episode, I go into depth on why this is, how to know what type of victim you are, and most importantly... how to transform into a boss.

It's 2019... You're able to fly just about anywhere in the world for less than a pair of sneakers, your phone recognizes your face, and you can start a business in 10 minutes on the internet... Yet people still like to limit themselves and what they can do. It's disgusting, so I decided to share with you a mindset that can change all that. #UpOnGame

Jay-Z is arguably the GOAT in Hip Hop, and in this track "NYMP" from his Vol. 3 album, he shows why. This is a bar that one would normally brush over, but it hit me particularly hard. Jay breaks down the importance of knowing yourself, and how to move in alignment with your essence. #BARS

You can have all the tools in the world, and be as prepared as you want to be....but if you're afraid to claim what's yours when it's time, it won't matter. The yellow tape mentality is a complete feeling of worthiness, ownership, and ruthlessness, that causes the best to go for even more. Lack of this causes a lot of very talented and skilled performers to never make anything real happen. Listen to this final episode in the bloodline series to find out how to weave all of these qualities and traits into your mindset and take results to new levels. imnotyou.com/KI

It's simple. You have to find a way to be calm and poised under pressure... when the bullets are firing... but how? In this episode of the "Bloodline" series, I break down this necessary mindset.

In remembrance of the legendary Nipsey Hussle who passed away a month ago on 3/31/19, I've created a playlist of songs by Nip that I feel most represent who he truly is, with songs that have helped me through my toughest times... #RIPNIP IMNOTYOU.COM/RIPNIP

This ancient stoic philosopher has a take on "Control", but I am not sure I totally agree... Do you? Take a listen to this section from Seneca's book, and see if this philosophy aligns with yours.

Most people claim to be humble.....the real evidence lies in their actions. In this bloodline, I explain what aggressive humility is and how to know if you have it or not.

It's rare to find someone who recklessly pursues what they deserve, with a blatant disregard for the opinions of others. Most are plagued with worry, doubt and overthinking. This cannot be you and I. We must become more and more fearless in our approach. In this episode I break down this bloodline.

I am no relationship Doctor, which is why whenever I struggle, I am always looking to find answers from people with expertise. I came across this author from a friend, and since then, his books have literally saved my marriage. Check out which author I am talking about, and which books he wrote, in today's #UpOnGame episode.

Persistence is to success what salt is to food...it's essential. Without it, you can almost guarantee failure. In this episode, I highlight a Jay-Z bar that shows the importance of Persistence and the mindset you need in order to keep going and bounce back like a champion. #BooksandBARS

Humans naturally default to extreme laziness....none of us are exempt. But the best find a way to fight this off, and replace it with an uncompromising focus on the right details...It's what I like to call "precision", and it is crucial.

To be the level of "dominant" that you claim to want to be, it's going to require a level of control that most softies are not comfortable with. Listen as I break down what "Control" really means, and how you will implement this.

In an unpredictable world, it's a no-brainer to keep your most important files safe. Take it from a former firefighter, and get you a fireproof folder. #UpOnGame

In today's episode of Books & Bars, I break down John Eliot's book "Overachievement", and why you should focus less on goal-setting, and more on the BIG PICTURE. If you don't have a vision to begin with, I wish you the best of luck in this game. If you're having trouble finding your vision, that the first step we take in my Killer Instinct program.

It's so easy to quit...isn't it? And if you haven't quit yet, then you're most likely wallowing in a state of indecision, and anticipating failure. Now, your failure becomes a matter of "when" instead of "if". We have to move in the opposite direction. Machine-Like Persistence is an unwillingness to stop. We just keep going.

While everyone else waits for the right time, deliberating over what must be done.....true competitors move with a sense of urgency, and create pressure before life does it for them. This quality is a prerequisite for getting to the top.

We all come face-to-face with anxiety and stress, and most people turn to bad vices to comfort themselves... how do YOU handle it? I'm putting you #UpOnGame today with a healthy option for anyone out there with snacking habits like mine.

Today's Books & Bars episode is a spin on last year's "Victory Lap" takeover - 7 consecutive episodes breaking down Nipsey Hussle's "Victory Lap" album, uniquely combined into one episode, courtesy of our engineer, Brandon.

All the motivation and strategy in the world cannot help someone without discipline....this is the ability to follow through with what must be done, regardless of the pain or inconvenience. It's uncommon to most, which is why you will be so rare if you have this.

I'd like to take a moment to remember a legend who was taken from us last week... Nipsey Hussle. A true staple in the rap game, whose goals reached far beyond the realm of music. Nipsey was such a huge inspiration to me and my business, it's only right to share three lessons (among many) that I learned from him. #RIPNipseyHussle Songs featured: "10 Toes", "Faith", "That's How I Knew"
