#2: Think and Grow Rich with James Whittaker

I had such a blast on this episode with best-selling author and film producer James Whittaker! After 10 incredibly successful years as a financial planner where he ran a company with over 2 Billion dollars under management, James started his own entrepreneurial journey and has since interviewed over 200 of the most successful people on the planet. He is the author and film producer of the sequel to the best-selling personal development book of all time, Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy, which shares the epic stories of Rob Dyrdek, Barbara Corcoran and Janine Shepherd (coming on the show soon!). James attributes much of his success to his ability to define his mission and strategy and then schedule the necessary actions in his calendar so that he always know what to do next. If you want to learn how to set and achieve big goals, schedule your life, and win the day every day, this episode is for you! Max Out Insights: Figure out your perfect destination in all areas of your life and backtrack it to one year, 90 days, 30 days, and today Once you have your 90 day plan, schedule actions in your calendar and tick them off every day What if this was your fault? By taking responsibility, you also take back the power to change things Clarity on who you are and where you want to go elevates your belief in what is possible and gives you a blueprint with action items so you know what to do each day Masterminds are a powerful tool to get honest feedback and the occasional kick in your butt Defining your mission and strategy is key to success If you wake up and have no idea what success looks like to you in every area of your life, you have already lost Scheduling the most important tasks in your life is a great way to make sure they get done Max Out Quotes: “You scheduling your action steps you can release yourself from any worry about what`s going to happen in the future because you`ve already written the ending of your story.” “Anytime you face adversity, that`s an opportunity for you to prove how badly you want it instead of shrinking into your shell.” “Step aside or step up.” “Each day, if you do not make the decision to win, you automatically make the decision to lose.”
