Trust is a scary thing sometimes.  Especially when it comes to following the advice from someone you trust. There have been several instances where I followed someone else’s advice and didn’t ask why they gave the advice they gave… Because I was in a pinch. I didn’t have “time” to ask why. I just needed […]

How many times have you heard about the little things? Even the Bible has something to say about it: “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much…” (Luke 16:10) Are you seeking abundance? Or lack?  I know which one I’m seeking, so that’s why I’ve had to lock in on

How’s that saying go?  “Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.” I can say from firsthand experience, there’s so much truth to that.  For nearly four years, I was hanging around scarcity-minded people and in very toxic environments. And it almost cost me my career, marriage, and life.  It’s so easy to

Ever wonder about what made some of the world’s greatest sports legends tick? What REALLY happened behind the scenes with their lives and impact on their families? I do…ALL the time.  Since Kobe Bryant’s passing, I’m starting to see a lot more come out about him – his approach to his sport, his life, and

Busy is an excuse. Took me 30+ years and a LOT of coaching to realize that.  For some reason, being busy has become a badge of honor.  In reality, it’s a right of passage…to BURNOUT. The ultra-successful aren’t burned out…they’re bold when it comes to what goes on their calendar. It’s how they achieve BIG

“But focusing on myself is selfish, J.R.” I hear that a LOT.  Then I’m forced to bust out the overused airplane oxygen mask analogy. You know… If you’re sitting next to someone less able than you, make sure to put YOUR mask on FIRST *BEFORE* you assist the person next to you. I wonder why
