The Fiture

So the invisible jury is basically the jury that is in your head that is judging you on everything that you’re doing or every action that you take. The problem with the invisible jury is if you allow them to seep into your mind too long you won’t take any action towards your goals in fact what you’ll do is you’ll avoid taking any action at all costs because you are too worried about what this jury is going to say or judge you on. One of the challenges or obstacles of the invisible jury is it might not even exist as far as actually judging you on what you’re doing. There are a lot of people who will enjoy what you’re putting out there or what value that you are bringing or the idea that you have in your head. But because of this invisible jury you’re not actually doing it, so all I want to do is encourage you to go out and forget about the jury, forget about what he will say or she will say. Forget thinking you will look stupid, or that no one will find value because what I find is a lot of people lie to themselves as far as what they really want to accomplish and they choose things that are more socially acceptable as opposed to doing things they truly want, that their heart truly desires. So I want to tell you and leave you with this, forget about the invisible jury, forget about them, they don’t mean anything. Even if they did judge you who cares put your best work out, put your best energy your best effort and just make it happen.

One of the big lessons that I am learning as I meet with more successful and ambitious people is the fear and insecurity factor. I think it is normal for everyone to think that everyone else has things figured out. But what I have noticed is EVERYONE is afraid and nervous to fail and to come up short in their goals. Procrastination in my opinion is disguised fear. I have been guilty of it just as much as anyone else and I think that the way to get over it is to have people around you who can push you forward and give you that extra bit of confidence. Worrying too much about how you will look in front of others if things go bad is a legitimate fear. In fact the fear is so strong that it can trick you into thinking that you need to "prepare" more. That you need to have everything absolutely perfect before you can move forward and take action. Typically we do not need to "prepare" or "strategize" more. In fact it is the opposite! We need to take more action and then learn from the outcomes to improve. There is no way we can improve ourselves or a process unless we actually do something. The other day in our accountability group we were talking about taking action on what we know we need to do but why we were not doing it. And we came up with the conclusion that we were overthinking the process and making it more complicated than it needed to be. My theory on why we make things more complicated than they need to be is... it gives us the perfect excuse to not take action. If we make things more complicated in our minds then we don't have to take any action therefore allowing us to avoid the possibility of failure or embarrassment. I think the perfect way to get over this is to not just try and be "tougher" but instead I think who you surround yourself with is extremely important. Find people who want to achieve more or do better in their lives and team up with them. Discuss openly what your fears are and let them know that you need their help to push you through the mental block. What you will find is there are people out there who feel the exact same way that you do who also want this in their lives but they are afraid to put themselves out there.

I wanted to share a few things that we talked about yesterday at our accountability meeting that I thought maybe helpful. So one of the things that can cause you to feel like a Failure or that you are not achieving enough is trying to do too much at once. When you are driven it is very easy to want to accomplish everything right this second and become too impatient and then when you don't hit your targets ... beat yourself up. Some of the best ways to overcome this are 1- breaking your projects down into SINGLE daily tasks and only focusing on that one task until it is done. 2- pretend that the only thing that matters is the daily task you are working on and pretend everything else does not exist. 3- when you accomplish your daily goal make sure to celebrate that you got it done so you can keep your momentum because it is very easy to dismiss the small wins and beat yourself up for not accomplishing a "big picture" win!

Every week I meet up with these guys for an accountability group. It has been a great experience because I know that we can all hold each other accountable towards our goals. The biggest benefit of having people to report to is it keeps you focused. One of the hardest things to do when you are striving towards your goals is to stay focused. For example, today we discussed how important it is to break our goals into mini goals so we don't feel overwhelmed or set ourselves up for failure. It is easy to have unrealistic expectations and try to bite off more than you could chew and the problem with that is if you get too ambitious and don't hit your goals it can do more harm than good and cause you to lose motivation. So the big lesson today was to stay focused on small steps and do one thing at a time and to be patient! LIKE if you have ever gone through this or agree!

Goals give you direction so make sure to write them down and take action!

A throwback when America met Australia 🇦🇺 Bringing the heat 🔥🔥

Ran into this bodybuilder @taylor_d93 today at the gym! The gym to me is the best place to relieve stress and gain extra clarity on whatever projects I am working on. I sometimes can have so many ad campaigns running that it can feel like things are going 100 miles per hour but that is what the gym is for. It is to take a break and come up with the next great ideas! Between taking daily walks and working out at the gym .....is where I have come up with my best ad campaigns 💪

I was sooooo excited🎉🎉running into @officialjohntravolta also known as @michaeldamico63 don't mind his "blue steel" pose from Zoolander!

Always look for the positives in every situation because experiences are there to teach you exactly what you need to know to advance your life!
