Today's Episode is on YouTube! Check it out! If you don’t like math then you probably don’t like success either... because success or a lack of success is all powered by the numbers. In his book, Shut Up & Listen, billionaire Tilman Fertitta stresses that you must know your numbers to grow your success... Most people fall into 2 buckets: You either don’t know your numbers or you know your numbers but use them in the wrong way. And I’ve done both... When I set on my 40/40 quest (lose 40 lbs in th...

From the mountaintops, I’ve always shouted, “Stay out of your comfort zone,” because your comfort zone traditionally was thought of as a source of laziness. I believed that until now... NBA legend Michael Jordan said, “People don’t believe me when I say I practice harder than I play, but it’s true because that’s where I created my COMFORT ZONE, so when it came time to play, my body reacted to what I was already doing. I believed I was the best...when I hit the shots, it reinforced that...& whe...

“What are you Best in the World at?” If I asked you, you’d probably compare yourself to someone way more successful than you & reply with... “Nothing...” There will always be someone better than you... But you are BIW... Because Best in the World is not what’s in the trophy case nor on the wall-that’s just the fruit... BIW is a seed of a mindset... BIW is a mantra... BIW is a work ethic... BIW is your swag... BIW is your ethos... Think about this... If you considered yourself Best in...

“This time it’s gonna be different!” “This is it!” “This is hard...” “This is b.s.” “This is ridiculous...there’s no way this is gonna work for me...” “Oh well...” When enough is enough...& you’re sick & tired of being tired, you push off to change... Only to realize early on that it’s harder than you expected... The only result you seem to be getting is just constant pain-mentally & physically. Things seem bad...but then they turn to worse. So you quit...& go back to the way things we...

Zack Babcock ended up serving a 5 year prison sentence for various crimes. Prison didn’t settle him down...it made him even worse. He was always getting into fights with other inmates and officers. Even though he acted out, he was hollow inside... “How can I get peace,” he desperately wondered. He used the only resource he had... With only 2 bath towels to his name, he tore one of them into sections and began to “dominate his space...” furiously cleaning his sink, toilet, & floors in his p...

I want you to be a loser today... Don’t stay a loser, but be willing to be a loser. Every social media feed is pounding you to only be a winner... But if all you’re trying to do is win...you only pick the sure thing & choose the path of least resistance to get there. You can’t handle a loss because you were only focused on the win. You’re not gonna go through life undefeated. Sports teams know this...they want to win the division & be crowned best in the world, but they know they’re going t...

I was so excited about this book, I shelved the planned episode in order to get this one out... Today we’re jumping in on billionaire Tilman Fertitta’s book “Shut up & Listen!” Fertitta is the owner of The Golden Nugget Casinos, over 600 restaurants including Morton’s Steakhouse, Landry’s Seafood, Saltgrass Steakhouse, & Rainforest Cafe to name a few... Oh & he’s the owner of the NBA’s Houston Rockets. Obviously, there’s a reason Fertitta can tell you to shut up & listen. He starts the book...

Are you procrastinating picking up the phone and calling the customer because you may just get rejected (again)? 🔥Action cures all... Afraid to ask for the sale because you don’t want to come across pushy? 🔥Action cures all... Should I or shouldn’t I go to the gym...have the difficult conversation...or ask her out? 🔥Action cures all. Today’s podcast is simple: If you’re scared, frightened, or just plain lazy... 🔥Action cures all... Thanks for being a part of TSL 🌎 Send in a voice messag...

On his podcast, Jordan Harbinger asked NBA legend Kobe Bryant what separates the talented? ...”it’s the ability to negotiate with yourself...” We mostly have conversations with ourselves... “I’m too fat...” “I’m from the wrong neighborhood...” “I barely graduated high school or never went to college...” Our mind tells us what we can’t do... It shows us what has & could negatively happen... & we say, “You’re right...” We don’t even negotiate... Don’t initially buy what your mind is offe...

When the alarm went off, the only thing I wanted to do was not to do... I had the “don’t wants” bad... My mission is to complete 30 workouts in 30 days because I’d let my “never miss twice” mantra slip... The voices in my head were screaming at me w/ rationales to take it easy today & double up tomorrow... & I almost gave in until I read... 🔥”You can act your way into a feeling long before you can feel your way into an action.” ~John Maxwell Today’s episode: Act like it! If you want to lo...

I recently read Hal Elrod’s book “The Miracle Equation,” the formula being: Unwavering faith + Extraordinary effort = Miracles... I love the formula because it’s a simple formula for you to make sure you’re putting yourself in position to achieve massive breakthroughs. But that’s not today’s message... You’re in the expansion business... Even if you’re in between jobs, you’re still in the expansion business. You are, have, & will forever will be in the expansion business. Well you should ...

In a clip I came across, Dr. Jordan Peterson said, 🔥”...overshoot continually...because as you overshoot-even if you don’t learn what you should’ve done, you’re going to continually learn what you shouldn’t keep doing...that’ll teach you at the same time what you should be doing...” It’s not enough to just shoot... You must overshoot. New salespeople must overshoot. They must make up in numbers what they lack on skill...it’s in the overshooting that they learn 3x in situational experiences wi...

My daughter MacKenzie started 6th grade this year... Bigger school, triple the number of students, changing classes, mean girls, & strict teachers. One of her teachers called her out & unleashed her wrath when Mack broke a class rule. Upset, she first went to her brother who went to the same school years ago. “Don’t worry,” he said, “they’re just like that in 6th grade...but 7th gets easier, & 8th is the best....just get to 8th grade.” Many times we drop out in Life, because we get to the “6t...

Sounds like an alter call doesn’t it? “Would you give your life to selling?” You should... Not as a profession but as a life skill bc you need these skills your entire life-regardless of age, profession, or background. You’ve got to give your life to selling...not to the profession, but to the skill set of selling. This episode is for all walks of life. Share this with your students, with your dad who’s given up, or with your kids bc selling is a lifelong skill set & you can use them immedia...

You’re inconsistent when it comes to working out regularly... You’re inconsistent in saving more & swiping your credit card less... You’re inconsistent in having date night every Friday. But you’re consistent in the way that you see yourself... “The strongest force in the human personality is the need to stay consistent in the way that we see ourselves.” ~Tony Robbins You’re consistent in your self-image & that’s why you’re not seeing any progress. Recently I was reading “Fearvana” by Aksh...

When asked if he gets nervous before an NBA basketball game he said, “Nah...basketball doesn’t make me nervous...people, family, & life off the court make me nervous.” “Basketball is my shield...no matter what’s going on in my life, I can lace up and just play ball.” ———————— Thinking he’s about to quit on me, I confront my salesperson. “I’m not quitting, Marsh, I’m just dealing w/ a lot of shit right now.” “I took yesterday off to go play golf & get away from it all.” Golf was his sanctuary...

What’s your volume at..not in your vehicle or surround sound... I’m talking about your volume...& your impact. What are you doing to amplify your year? 🔥Was this supposed to be your year...only it’s not? 🔥Or maybe this is your year! You, David, Kinny, William, & Mike all have had a kick ass year... But there’s more.... Life is not balanced, it’s blended. Think of your life as one of those sound boards you find in a music studio. Not all of the dials are set equally, but the finished version...

Do you remember the term that was used when you were growing up, “Monkey see, monkey do,” meaning you do what the other kid is doing? You may not still use the term, but you’re still playing the game...it’s called “What you see is what you do.” We do what we see...we grew up living on assistance, working for minimum wage, never going to college, or never leaving your hometown. We see what others can’t (or won’t) & think we can’t either. Today is graduation day for you. You’re graduating from...

Tom Peters said that when people hear the word “excellence” they get all twisted up in meaning. “Perfect” ...”Unblemished”...”Model” ...it’s all bs... “Excellence is the next 5 minutes.” How freeing is that? We beat ourselves up bc we look at ourselves & our current situation & give up bc we think we’ll never fit into our mental mold of excellence 1000 miles down the road. Excellence is the next 5 minutes: the next email you write..the next convo you have w/ your child...the next action you ta...

In sales, we love the “should be’s.” This “should be” a deal...he “should be” coming in to buy tomorrow...I “should be” @ $10k by the end of the month. Only the “should be’s” don’t always show up. And when they don’t, those deals you mentally cashed, emotionally bankrupt you & your month. So here’s my formula for you: 0 minus 2 plus 2 0: zero out any mind deals you have. Yesterday ended last night so zero any progress from yesterday. Minus 2: Work as of you’re broke & sell as if you’re rich....

Today we’re talking about Value over Price, but not from a retail perspective but more so as it relates to your life. You see the value of transitioning your life, but then you notice the price...the price seems too large to pay, so you end up doing nothing. Why not tear a page from the financial world, when the price seems dauntingly large, make payments on your value. Make the price so small, it’s a no brainer to take action. As you do, you’ll pay a higher price because you’ll see a greater va...

“Think man...think!” How much time do you give to thinking? Probably not much...unless your forced to think in a certain situation...but what about after you’ve gotten all of your To-do’s done for the day? What do you do next? Watch TV, drink, go to tomorrow’s to-do’s, grab the next book, jump on social media, watch YouTube...we do ANYTHING but think. 💪Today’s episode is to make you aware to be busy, less...& think more bc you’ll never get it all done nor springboard ahead just by being busy. S...

Oh yes you do ....we all have insecurities- it’s just most people don’t know what all of yours are. But your insecurities don’t have to be debilitating-something you keep hidden in the shadows of your life...your insecurities can be defining moments- hearing your insecurities “call you out” & rising to the occasion. 💪 Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/marshbuice/message
