Stop lying to yourself. I'm going to share with you 20 things that I quit to simplify my life to focus on what actually matters.

Because when kids come up to me and I'm driving one of my supercars, they always ask me, hey man, what do you do? And I always say the same thing. It's not what I do. It's what I don't do. Welcome to the Martel method. I went from rehab at 17 to building a hundred million

dollar empire and being a Wall Street

Journal bestselling author. In this podcast, I'll show you exactly how to build a life and

business you don't grow to hate. And make sure you don't miss anything by subscribing to my

newsletter at Martel Method.com. Starting with the first thing I quit, trying to separate

work in life. For me, I integrate both things. I don't want to make it separate. I want my family to be around when I'm working. I want my workmates to be around when I'm playing. I just realize if I'm going to travel the world and try to live life to the fullest, then everybody is going to be part of that life. I don't keep them separate. The second thing I quit is eating because of my emotions. If you can't control what you put in your mouth, trust me,

it will affect your confidence because confidence is a byproduct of keeping the commitments you

make to yourself in private and you know what you should be eating. The third is caring what

other people think. When I look at my life and the pain I've gone through and realizing

that if I made decisions based on what other people thought I should do, guess who wasn't there

when I was in pain? And if they haven't done the thing that I want to do and I care about their

opinion and I use that to make decisions, now I'm living somebody else's life. When I take my last breath, I want to know

that I live in my life. The fourth thing I quit is thinking short term instead of long term.

If you want to build a life, it's going to take time. If you want to be successful, it's going

to take time. If you try to take shortcuts, guess what? It'll burn you every time. Investing in

long-term decisions with long-term people playing

long-term games is how you win in life. Number five is having a rigid morning routine. It's kind of

crazy because I always ask people that have like the 37-hour 17-step morning routine. What if you don't have it?

Does that mean like the rest of your day is shot? You can't enjoy yourself.

My whole thing is being fluid. There's key things that I do that takes literally minutes to reset

and center. Other than that, those are just bonuses not required for me to have a great day.
