To be an entrepreneur, you need to be courageous, but how do you move beyond just taking courageous acts and move towards having courage become a part of who you are? In this episode, Adam sheds some light on his own struggles in the past with being courageous, and he takes us through his process to reprogram courage into himself.

No one is immune to fear. All of us have worries and doubts, but despite that, we can still choose to be courageous. When we are courageous, we emanate an energy of confidence, and that energy makes us stand out because when step into a powerful place of being like courage, you get powerful results.

At the beginning of his career, planning was not one of Adam’s strong suits, and although for a time, he was able to grow despite that, eventually, he got to a point where he knew he needed to get better at planning. If you’ve reached that same point that Adam did, in this episode, you will find the three pillars of planning that he’s learned throughout the years.

Planning should be fun. It should be a process that’s exciting and not fear-inducing. This is why you need to start by plotting out the goal you desire deep in your heart and fleshing out the person who reaches that goal. When those two things are clear, you step into that person, lay down your milestones, and divide the goal into clear accomplishable actions.

The most challenging part of planning is follow-through, but when we remain committed to our goals and to the actions we need to complete, we not only gain self-esteem, but we build a powerful habit of self-integrity.

It’s time to take a deep breath and clear your mind because in this episode, Adam gets into the essentials of visualization. When we overthink and dwell on negativity, it’s easy to fall into a place where we experience a lot of resistance. But if we can picture good experiences and fill our minds and bodies with good feelings from that picture, then we can set ourselves into a free flow that keeps us moving forward.

More than the outcomes and the details we picture in our minds, however, visualization is all about invigorating our minds and bodies with good experiences so that it can produce good actions that lead to more good experiences. Visualization is definitely a process to get accustomed to, especially in Adam’s experience, but if we take time each day to relax and allow a spirit of goodness and success flow in us, then we can get past the overanalyzing and overcome the roadblocks that get in our way. 

Today, Adam weighs in on how attachment is the source of all suffering. When we are too attached to our expectations and we’re overly set on how things should go or how people should act, we can miss out on a lot and lose a lot of energy.

In life and in business, a lot of our frustrations arise when we try to control things that are really outside of our control. This is why Adam invites us to be in a position where we accept instead of expect. When we let go of how things should and should not happen, we allow ourselves to become more attuned to our intuition, and it is that higher sense that will lead us on a path of more joy, more empowerment, and more success.

When you’re on a mission to take on the world and make your life better, it’s important that you have the energy to do just that. Getting the sleep we need to be energized for our mission may sound like a simple concept, but often times, it’s a skill that we actually need to learn.

Tamiko Kelly, entrepreneur and Child Sleep Expert, or often called the “Baby Whisperer”, believes that part of doing what it takes to show up fully in our lives and businesses is getting the rest and sleep that our bodies are wired for. As such, Tamiko has dedicated thousands of hours in her life to figure out a working system that brings sweet sleep back into people’s houses.

While she usually works with babies and parents, in this episode, she shares some tips and tricks with Adam that will help anyone get a good night’s rest – rest that will give us the power to live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.

While on the road at Boulder, Colorado, Adam digs deep and looks at some competitive advantages that go beyond strategies and funnels. When we think about “competitive advantage,” almost always, our minds automatically get into business theory mode, but what if we can look into our hearts and souls to find that factor that makes us stand out?

Commitment, courage, creativity, compassion, patience, and consistency – all of these are some traits we can find in ourselves that we can actually lean into for distinguishing our business. In this episode, Adam expands on this idea and gives us a glimpse of how that translates to creating content and providing services that help people. He also puts together some advice on how we can get a better sense of ourselves, especially our core strengths, passions, and talents so that we can work from our best most powerful selves.
