Today I'm putting you #UpOnGame with a must-have item in my environment...

Don't think twice to buy the book if it's only $10... This book changed my life and in this episode, I explain why.

We are all faced with hard decisions... what should we do? How should we choose? What must be sacrificed? These decisions ultimately lead to our results, so making the "wrong" decision must be avoided. But HOW? In this episode, I break down the criteria you should use for making tough decisions.

There are certain things you can GUARANTEE you will be exposed to on your way to crushing your goals, and if you aren't aware, you may respond to these roadblocks in a way that will further hold you back. In this episode, I show you these roadblocks, and tell you how to knock 'em down.

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

It's not about how much you make; it's about how much you keep. I know, like me, you've had times when you've gotten paid only for your face to turn pale once you realize how much Uncle Sam took from your check. One of the keys to wealth is minimizing taxes, and growing the money you make, instead of just handing it over to the government. In this episode, I share a book with you that has forever changed the way I look at money. #BOOKSandbars

I get a lot of questions about what I think about college, and the role it plays. Should you go? What should you do if you don't? What do I tell my kids about college? In this episode, I break it down.

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.

I was hesitant to get myself a pair of these, but when I did, I was very pleased. If you're on the fence about copping a pair of these, do it.

Meek Mill has a way of murdering the intro songs on all of his albums, and he did just that on his latest album "Champions". He dropped a bar that made me go crazy... I break it down in today's episode. #booksandBARS

If you've listened to me long enough, you know my favorite book is none other than the 50th Law… Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Best-Selling Author, Robert Greene to the Sports Motivation Podcast! As we discuss topics like literature, 50 Cent's personality and work ethic, and having a purpose, realize that Robert found his true calling at the age of 36. If you think you're late to choosing your ultimate path, you're wrong. Years of DO-ing, will get you to where you need to be. Thanks for tuning in!

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.

I watch this Steve Jobs clip in the morning, and it always wakes me up and reignites my sense of purpose. #UpOnGame #RIPSteveJobs

This throwback bar is from our 7th Books and Bars episode featuring New Orleans' own, Currensy. This particular track "Example" from his Pilot Talk album, spoke directly to me after an injury in the NFL put my career in jeopardy. Listen man… When life pulls you somewhere for a reason, don't hesitate to take the risk. Just like Spitta "shook the dice and rolled," he also took that step when others would "stay shook and froze". So GET BUSY… Be an example for the next generation of go-getters. #booksandBARS

Life will hand you plenty of Ls... but don't throw in the towel. Learn from the loss and get back to practice ASAP.

No more excuses. This is a 2.5 hour, clean, 16 step process for how to set up a master plan for your 2018 goals.
