Continuing our mentoring session on how to (finally, this time!) CONQUER your dreams. WARNING! You’re not gonna like this one. You thought there was a shortcut, cliff notes or some “secret” that allowed you to just chant, rub crystals or sit on your couch and rubber cement pictures onto your vision board as the way to achieve your dreams. Uhhh, nope. THIS is what it takes, everytime, no matter what:
In yesterday mentor chat, I shared with you step 1 to conquering your dreams and ambitions. To introduce today’s step, I want to start by first sharing a quote from my mentor, Jim Rohn, “If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.” Now, let’s get on with Step 2:
Have you made New Year’s resolutions or set goals before and failed? Have you entered a new year beating your chest and proclaiming your magnificent transformation from every mountain top only to have it dwindle to a whimper by the time January gets torn off the calendar? What went wrong? In my experience, there are about a half a dozen ways you can trip yourself up right at the start. Let me help you avoid these common trip-ups:

There were these two tribes that inhabited the Andes Mountains. There was a low lander tribe, and there was a tribe that lived up in the high mountains as well. So one day the highlanders came down and plundered the village of the lowlanders. And they kidnapped one of the lowlanders’ babies and took it up into the highlands.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday yesterday, filled with the gift of love and having those dearest to you celebrate along side. Yesterday, another gift also arrived, the release of the movie Unbroken. I am often asked who was my favorite interview of all time. And to this day it still stands as Louis Zamperini.

We are all the same, but different.
The beginning of this year I decided to be different from everyone else and not make any yearly goals. The problem with that is I was really being like all those that decided to do the same thing.
So…I wasn’t being different, but the same.
So…I decided that this new year I would be different from last year, but the same as so many others. I am going to make some solid goals…just like so many others.
After changing careers at the beginning of this year I made a decision to relax more with my family, while at the same time spend more on eating out. I have had a great time with my loved ones, but also miss what I am very passionate about. Without sacrificing my family time, like I have done in the past, I am going to make time for getting in shape…again!
Anyone who truly knows me, knows that I am a martial artist. Everything I do in life has martial arts incorporated into it. Does this make me different? Yes and no. Many people do martial arts and many don’t. So, I am different, but also the same.
We all have dreams, but they are not the same.
We all eat food, but not the same kinds.
We all live in a country, but not the same one.
We all breathe air, but not at the same time.
We are all the same, but different.
I challenge you to be different, while realizing you are the same

In The Compound Effect, I told the story of how I found my dream home. I was sitting on the dock at Sam’s Anchor Café looking up at the mega houses that cantilevered over the tip of Tiburon, in Marin County, California—just across the bay from San Francisco. It’s an exciting thing, putting the last few signatures on the pages that make your dream home your actual home. Yet even as they handed over the keys, I wasn’t thinking about what a monumental moment it was for me. I wasn’t filled with excitement at the thought of moving in or waking up that first morning in my new place or even how awesome it would be to show my friends. As I left the title company that afternoon, there was one thought and one thought only in my mind…
