Today I've got something really special and it's around one word, one key concept that when I think

back of all the things that I do that has caused me to be successful, it's this one word and the word

is courage. 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. My bestselling book,

Buy Back Your Time is out now. Grab a copy at buybackyourtime.com or at any of your preferred

online retailers. Courage is the way. Courage is required. Courage is the ingredient.

Courage is the missing piece.

See, nobody does something big, risky without being scared.

No, no, no.

I want you to understand.

I am scared most of the time when I'm doing it because there's all these other things

that could fall apart.

But regardless, I take a step forward.

I find the courage to do it.

Courage is making a decision not without fear, but in spite of fear.

This weekend I was meditating and something came to my mind that really kind of jarred me.

Because I talk about these concepts I'm going to share with you all the time

and I had to be honest with myself that I wasn't living or playing into the game as big as I possibly

can and I know we can make up excuses well Dan if you if you go after bigger things then it might

sacrifice your family time but Dan if you go after bigger things it might sacrifice your net worth Dan if you go after big things might sacrifice your family time. But Dan, if you go after bigger things, it might sacrifice your net worth.

Dan, if you go after big things, it might sacrifice your personal time. It might not be enjoyable.
