20 years ago when my friend, Bob Warren, started mentoring me and coaching me he taught me to listen better. I want to tell you it is difficult! We would go to restaurants and we would talk. I'd be looking around the room to see who was in there, who was coming in and he would say, “listen, you got to focus, you've got to make eye contact with the person you're talking to and not be thinking about what you're going to say next. You need to pay attention to what they're saying because people only remember how you make them feel and you make them feel unimportant when you don't pay attention to what they're saying.
I'm going to tell you, I'll just be very honest and transparent with you that was difficult for me. For a long long time, it was like every time you were talking I was thinking man I got something to say. I can match that i can one-up! I can't wait till they take a breath so I can interject! I want to tell you it takes a lot of discipline and a lot of wherewithal in order to withhold the things that you want to say! Listen, what they say is important!

I've been coaching now for about seven or eight years. I've had the privilege of coaching men all over the world and there's a handful of guys that are willing to take that attitude. They're willing to take whatever they've got to do and go crush it.
Now, I just want to know, are you that kind of guy? Are you willing to do whatever it takes in order to be successful?

Do not keep your self busy with work and exchange time with your family with money. Create experience and memories with your family, with your kids. Spend money or time to create experience and memories. Have a little less house. Have a little less car. Work a little less time at the office and plan for an amazing experiences for your kids so that they can look back and have these great memories.

Is ACCOUNTABILITY overrated? I don't think so! It is not!
I've made some commitments early this year with guys I am in accountability group with. These guys check with me and ask the difficult questions every week if I am able to execute them and challenge me to go to the next level!
If you do not have these kinds of guys, join a Mastermind TODAY!
