Quotes discussed:
"The successful warrior is the average man with laser-like focus." - Bruce Lee

• As Rod says, pick your battles and focus on the low hanging fruits that will be realistic for you to implement. In business, it's wise to focus on what you really enjoy and you're good at, and delegate the rest. As we always hear, "jack of all trades, master of none." If you try to do too much, you won't do anything at an exceptional level. And EXCEPTIONAL is what we're striving for! We talked about how we're living in the most distracted culture in history. Focus is often the one thing that separates some of the most successful people in the world from the rest of the population.

"You just can't beat the person who never gives up." - Babe Ruth

• Unfortunately we're in a culture of quitting, but if you never give up, you'll eventually accomplish your goal. Beware that your brain is trying to keep you safe in your familiar comfort zone. No matter how badly you might think you want to accomplish something, if it's not aligned with your identity, you might sabotage your own progress along the way.
• Make sure by the end of this year that you've accomplished your biggest goals instead of having to put them on the list again.
• Be careful with your identity. If you've been overweight since childhood, being overweight is your identity. Stepping outside of that identity will be very challenging and you'll be susceptible to self sabotage.

"We have way more opportunities than we need or deserve." -Rod
"Obsessed is what lazy people call focused people."
"Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it." - George Halas

"The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Your body can stand almost anything. It's your mind that you have to convince."
