How to be Mentally Strong (Actionable Advice)

Table of Contents

I suffered from feel like sh*t syndrome during my 20’s.

Fear and anxiety crushed my dreams. I had so many ideas, and loads of motivation, but my mindset killed my progress.

Because I was too soft to get sh*t done. I was led by emotion, rather than reason.

I said I was going to do all this stuff:

  • Read a book
  • Take a course
  • Go to the gym
  • Build a business
  • Make sales calls

And I would do those things…for about 1 week.

But once the motivation wore off, I was back to my usual self:

  • Inconsistent
  • Wasting time
  • Blaming others
  • Feeling frustrated

I felt like crap. My business wasn’t growing. My body composition suffered.

So I did what everyone does to try and fix this:

Watch David Goggins’ videos looking for inspiration.

It helped for a day. But again, the motivation was temporary.

Eventually, I identified my problem.

It was never my motivation. It was not a lack of ideas.

It was a lack of structure.

Nobody was holding me accountable. I was waking up every day hoping for the best.

  • No schedule
  • No action plan
  • Nobody watching
  • Nobody to report to

Turns out it’s hard to do everything on your own.

So I took action by building a system. It included:

  1. Strategic plan
  2. Clear deadlines
  3. A work schedule
  4. Accountability partner
  5. List of high-impact tasks

That was 6 years ago.

Today, every aspect of my life is different:

  1. 7x my income
  2. Working for myself
  3. Gym 10 hours per week
  4. Can do anything I set my mind to

This system forces consistency of high-impact tasks. The stuff you SHOULD be doing to move your life forward.

So what’s the takeaway here? I’ll give you the steps to become mentally jacked:

  1. Accept you have a problem
  2. Built a system that forces discipline
  3. Keep putting in the reps until you get jacked

It’s not rocket science. If I can do it, so can you.

I write this to inspire you, not blame you.

Stop wasting your precious time on this planet.

Start putting systems in place that build success.
