The majority wake up every morning trying to avoid failure at all cost, believing if they don’t fail, they instantly become successful. THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE! The most highly successful people in history have learned it’s because of their failure, they reached epic levels. I challenge you to not only embrace failure, but invite it!
(Below is from “Fail Up,” written by Tavis Smiley).
You’ll ultimately be defined by your ability to withstand obstacles! Raise your bar higher than the 99% can fathom!
Luc sent me this at 5:50 am! He’s committed to never again be out worked. 99% of 16 year olds, especially in the summer, are sleeping in, but he knows: They sleep, he wins!

The key to your future isn’t how much success you have, but rather, the types of failures you encounter.
Are you failing worse or better? Are you failing backwards or forwards? Mistakes play a huge role in your ultimate success, but what types of mistakes have you been making? Are you repeating the same ones over and over, or are you continuously experimenting and risking?
Fail better!
This is a text a student sent me, frustrated with the beginning of his professional athletic career. He’s realizing the struggle and pain needed to endure isn’t a dream – it’s real, and is what separates the ones who make it from the ones who talk about what if …
Whatever your situation, know that your struggle is temporary, but it will test your commitment and dedication to the process!
The next time you think about quitting because “it’s too hard,” remember this picture!
Struggle defines character – do you have what it takes to battle beyond pain, or will you stop short of your dreams? No more excuses. Stop whining about why it’s too difficult. Create a detailed future visual and commit every ounce of your hunger to not stopping until it manifests!
Shed tears if you have to, scream in frustration if you have to, but NEVER STOP!
Here’s a sneak peak of Nicole Davis, Olympic level sprinter I’m so blessed to help.
I’ll be making a video next week, highlighting her rise from mediocrity to where she is today – knowing Rio 2016 is on her fingertips!
She’s a huge part of the 1% Family, and WILL inspire you.
What you do when no one’s looking will determine your long term success. Are you doing the minimum or more than is expected?
