What's going on, guys? Welcome back to the Jeremy Scott Fitness Podcast, radio show.

Coming at you hot with 11 ways to level up your life.

Oftentimes, we overcomplicate things in life.

I think we get in our own way, if you will.

I know I've been my own self-limiting factor on numerous occasions,

from middle school to high school to college for sure, and obviously in

the business world, kind of fighting your own fears or our own preconceived notions and concepts

about things is a tough way.

It's tough to get through, I guess I'll put it that way.

In light of my past failures and my self-destructive fuck-ups, I came up with 11 tips to

be a better person and level up your life almost immediately. If you guys can at least put one or two of these pieces of action into play, if you can do all 11, great. But I'm a small rock, big rocks kind of guy. So if you can do at least one, it can be a game changer for sure. So if you guys want to jot these down, or at least remember them or maybe just say out loud to yourself, print them out if you're a person who can write things down, at least have them in front of you, and post them someplace where you can see them daily or practice them just like you practice anything else, a piano, a golf swing. And over time, they come like a natural way you live your life. And again, when someone goes with like a conference or an event, they think, okay, cool, I learned this skill or this trait and I'm going to be okay. It's not enough to just see it and hear it and learn it once. You have to put it into play into practice, kind of like learning a new language or anything else. It takes consistent daily rituals and routine to make it kind of be solidified in your brain and make a part of what you're doing. So, without further ado,

11 ways to level up your life. Number one, this is a huge one for me. Focus on what you can control and say, fuck everything else. I believe that to be true. My old boss at the you used to tell me, control your controllables. Now, I don't know if that's a real word. Shout out to my man, Corey Smith for that but he'd always say control your controllables meaning you know the things that

you have ownership over and you can actually control an effect, worry about those. And the rest of this stuff, just punt it, man, because you can't do anything about it. You can't control the economy and the weather and what people think about things. You can only own your stuff. So if you do do that it'll change the game almost instantly number

two be willing to do what most other people will not to get what you want i think jerry rice had a

quote that said today i'll do what others won't so tomorrow i'll do what others cannot and i hold that to

be true it's almost kind of like uh suffering in silence is what i say like when you when you have to really eat really well it's not just what you do in public it's on your Wednesday night at home when you want to probably have a glass of wine or crush a bunch of cookies you have to be willing to do what other people want on a Wednesday night in order to kind of get that praise in public later on so again be willing to put in the work even when other people won't so you can live a life like they cannot. I think that's the takeaway here. Number three, failing just means you're learning. True failure only happens when you quit. So my advice to you guys is don't quit. And if you're going to fail, fail fast and fail often. Learn from those mistakes and move on from it. Every great success I've had in my entire life has come from some typically some massive failure or misstep and it's hard to see it when you're inside it or you know see the forest from the trees if you will. But if you can do that, you can learn from your failures. That's how we grow as people. That failure in the gym when the muscles fatigue and fail, we go to sleep, we eat right, they grow bigger, they go stronger. Same thing. Work mentally in every other area of your life. Number four. Each night map out a plan for tomorrow's success. If you don't have a plan, you don't have success. Even just little stuff of here's the big three things I need to get done. And if I can get to these other two things, that's great. But these three are mandatory. mandatory there must in my life do that you guys

map out a plan for success in terms of how you eat how you train how you go about your daily

tasks and you'll get more done than you ever thought possible it's a simple trick but often overlooked

number five life is hard no matter what you get to decide which hard do you want my old man

used to say jeremy you can shit in one hand and you can wish in another, see which one fills up faster. Maybe not Shakespeare, but you guys get the analogy. The point is hard work is required of everything, and everything we do is hard. Even sitting on your ass on the couch watching TV all day becomes hard because you're not getting anything done. You're not making money. You're not getting further in your career. You're not becoming more educated. You're not becoming a better well-round a person. You're just laying on the couch and chilling. So it's like being 50 pounds overweight is tough. It's hard. Not fitting in your clothes is hard. It's also hard to eat right. It's also hard to train super hard and sweat and breathe and be out of breath. But you get to choose the hard that you guys want. So again, pick the one that rewards you, not the one that drags you further down. Number six, give consistent quality effort daily and everything you do. I don't care if you guys are working your dream job or you're mowing the lawn or you're doing the dishes or you're holding the door for somebody. Do it to the best of your ability. end of the day no matter what even if you don't love the task and the chore at hand your name is attached to it that is your legacy that is your life that's probably one of the reasons why i give a shit so much about this business and this craft and what i do because my name is on the front door my name is on the website my name is on the podcast i care about it so everything I try to do, I try do the best of my ability and i'm not great at everything but i'm working to get better at everything and i think that's the game you guys is taking pride in what you do as people goes a long way number seven be honest and tell the truth even when it hurts i'm not a fan of bullshitting people and feeding their head full of crap if they they did a shitty job, you let them know. You don't have to do it that graphically. You can do it in a more eloquent way and you can tell them in a way that lifts them up and doesn't tear them down. But be honest with your friends and your real friends. Hopefully you guys can. Oftentimes people aren't. I think if we would tell each other what we're really thinking and feeling and telling them things, even though it might be initially painful up front, if it helps them get better, it needs to be done. And be that friend for somebody else. And I promise you they might be pissed off up front, but in the wrong run, they'll appreciate you for it. Number eight, make it a habit to give more than you take in every relationship in your life we call this to 51

49 so meaning every single person you meet you give them 51% and you take only 49 and jeremy scott

finis we call this be their fountain not their drain be a fountain that gives them life don't be the drain
