In episode #2 of the Coronavirus survival series, I break down how to properly learn from the mistakes and inaccurate actions you've taken, to leave you exposed in a time like this. It is with this mindset and strategy that will allow you to not only evolve at a time like this, but to make constant evolution a way of life for you.
 
Reflective Questions:
What pain(s) am I currently experiencing?
What actions could I have done differently?
When should I have begun doing them?
What would I have valued more, in the past?
 
Time to Act:
What am I going to do differently now?
Have I thoroughly/properly learned from this?

In these most uncertain times, it is imperative that we rise above our animal nature and find and explore new ways to not just survive, but thrive and evolve. I will be breaking down, in very practical ways, how to come out of this global crisis even better. 

 

In episode #1, I break down the importance of using times of crisis to expose what it is that you lack...otherwise, it wouldn't be a crisis. At least not for you.

It can be difficult to accumulate a few wins, without starting to "eat the cheese"...This means feeling complacent, and letting your foot off the gas so you can feel "comfortable". This is dangerous, and in this episode, I break down how to consistently win, and still feel hungry and motivated.

A good way to know how soft and mentally weak someone is.....just watch how they deal with the truth. If you want to be elite and consistently dominate them, you must get comfortable with reality and learn to use it and profit from it instead of run from it and defend yourself from it. I break it down tactically in this episode.

Being a "victim" doesn't only refer to a refugee or homeless person....some of you so-called "competitors" are about as helpless, soft, and weak as new-born babies.
