As a venture backed CEO, I lived and died one quarter at a time. Reflecting on the quarter, and getting proactive about planning the quarter ahead became second nature.

Over time, I started to apply a similar planning process in my own LIFE. On this episode, I talk through the last 3 months of my life and business and what lays ahead.

Watch this episode so you can learn how to spend 30 minutes to pause and reflect on your life one quarter at a time.

Don’t know how to code? No cofounder? Can’t quit your job? No investors? Those are the wrong things to focus on when starting a company.

Have you been DREAMING of finally starting that business and becoming an entrepreneur?

I’ve wanted to be an entrepreneur my whole life, but it wasn’t until I was 28 did I really take the plunge, quit my six-figure job, and start a company.

Why’d it take so long?

It’s because just like you, I was waiting for the perfect moment. 

I was waiting for the clouds to part.

I was waiting to find my co-founder.

Find investment.

Finding the courage to quit my job…

Here’s the thing. 

None of those things were going to happen unless I stopped dreaming and started DOING – by focusing on the things that I could control.

On this video, I’ll teach you the THREE STEPS to follow to finally get started on that business and kick off your entrepreneurial journey without having to quit your job, find a co-founder, learn to code, or raise money.

My most POPULAR video on my Youtube channel is one I did last year about growing your career.

If you search for “jobs in your 20s” or “jobs in your 30s” it is consistently the first result.

In that video, I talked about how to think about your career as you navigate the next 20 years…

…especially with the advent of AI, Robots, and automation.

But Today, I’ve got a new episode based on a question I get asked A LOT.

What do you do if you feel stuck in your career?

More than once in my life, even though I was doing “well” in my career, I felt stuck.

I felt like I was on the wrong path, doing the wrong thing, and I didn’t know why.

I even had trouble finding fulfillment and that got me overwhelmed.

On today’s episode, I talk about the THREE reasons why you’re feeling stuck.

And the ONE thing I did to get UNSTUCK.

I’m a high achiever, and the one thing I’ve always struggled with is my ability to focus in on ONE goal.

At the same time, I’ve also found that when I focus in on ONE goal, I’m able to deliver 10x the amount of results.

This is one of the reasons I started to do 45-Day Unstoppable Challenges to advance ONE goal at a time.

Recently, I did a 45-Day Challenge with a group, and on this episode, I’m going to teach you how it worked and how you too can join my legion to accomplish anything you want in life.

A 45-Day Beast Mode Challenge is when you:

• Commit to crushing ONE specific and measurable goal

• You talk to your family and friends to gain social capital

• You decide how you will reward yourself when you accomplish your goal

• And finally, you create an action plan for your 45-days to make sure you CRUSH your goal

I’ve done these 45-Day challenges to change the trajectory of my life countless times over the past decade.

This time around, I decided to invite others to do one with me.

This was the first time I did it in a mastermind form.

It was daunting at first, but it was also incredibly inspiring as I saw all these people flow in and commit to doing a 45-Day challenge.

As part of the process they talked through WHY it was important to them and how their lives would change if they accomplished it.

And so as a group of us kicked it off.

Through the course of the 45-Day challenge, I checked in with the group every Sunday, I sent a video every other week to help navigate the 45-Days, and we all held each other accountable on our progress by filing a weekly report.

For me personally, it was one of the most incredible 45-Days of my life. During that 45-Day challenge, I buckled down and finished my book How to Punch the Sunday Jitters in the Face (link below).

As we rounded out the challenge, I ran a survey to understand what worked well for our group, how people did, and what we would do differently if we did another group challenge.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve consistently used these 45-day Unstoppable challenges to change the trajectory of my life, and our mission here at Unstoppable is to help YOU do that.

I’ve taken everything I know about doing these 45-Day challenges, the feedback from this group that went through my mastermind and turned it into a course and mastermind.

If you are a high achiever, and you want to kick off a 45-Day Unstoppable Challenge, follow the link below for my webinar where I share 3 more secrets on how to do them, and also tell you more about my Legion of Unstoppables who do these together.

 

 

In this episode, I’m going to walk you through the three steps you need to take to change your life around completely in a 7 day period.

There was a moment of my life, where I finally acknowledged I needed to make a change.

I was in the wrong job.

There was a moment in my life where I was in the wrong relationship.

There are two problems that come up when we come to this realization, and I’ve fallen for both of these…

First, even if you might feel this, you may not truly embrace reality and accept it.

There were times when I made excuses and chose to escape my reality instead of doing something about it.

Second, even if we accept reality, we’re not able to bring change to our lives.

You see, we as human beings are creatures of habit. And it’s so FRIGGIN’ hard to break these patterns.

If you’re watching this, you’re probably in a similar spot.

You FEEL a change needs to be made.

If that’s you, can I get a YES in the comments. I want others to feel how common of a feeling this is.

You WANT to see a change.

But you don’t know how.

I was there 10 years ago, and then I discovered these three secrets that helped me unlock my life.

Now look… Obviously you won’t be able to completely change every aspect of your life within a 7 day period, but if done right, you can make significant mindset changes within a 7-day period that can lead to massive changes in your life over time.

Step 1 — Acknowledge where you are.

I did this by starting to practice this thing I call Unstoppable Sunday. Doing this immediately changed how I felt over the coming seven days of my life and it will change it for you too.

I do this on Sunday afternoon because that is when my anxiety used to really hit me HARD about needing to make a change in my life.

You ever get that feeling on a Sunday? If YES, then can I get a YESSS in the comments below? I want other people to see how we’re not alone in this.

I talked more about how to practice this and plan out my week and immediately feel BETTER about the next 7 days of my life on THIS video.

Once you get momentum over your next 7 days, and once you keep doing this every Sunday, you’re going to start to feel the energy to do MORE. That’s where Step 2 comes in.

Step 2 — Figure out where you want to be 5 years from now.

Cast a BIG wide vision of where you want to be, what you want to be doing, completely separate from where you are now and how you’ll actually get there. I call this my 5-year YOU exercise, and I talk more about how to do it on THIS video.

Step 3 — As I started to get control of my life one 7-day period at a time, and now that I established a North Star for my life, I started doing 45-Day Beast Mode challenges to focus on specific areas of my life to change my trajectory and start pointing it to my North Star.

So you should pick a specific area of your life you want to change, and do a 45-day beast mode challenge on it.

I’ve done these 45-day challenges countless time in my life and they’ve helped me dramatically transform my life.

Whether you call it the Sunday Scaries, the Sunday jitters, the Monday dread, or the Sunday afternoon “What am I even doing with my life” — I FRIGGIN’ HATE THEM and on this episode I’m going to talk about the three reasons you get them.

I always describe my life in two distinct versions.

There was the BEFORE

And there was the AFTER

In both parts of my life, I had big goals for myself, I always wanted my own business, and I wanted to become the best version of myself.

But in the BEFORE part of my life

I always struggled with getting on the right life path

I had a finance job I didn’t love

I was in a relationship I wasn’t happy in

And most importantly, every Sunday, I would get hit HARD with the Sunday Scaries

And then there’s the after

I ended up starting my own business, growing it, then selling it

I started this channel, wrote my book, and started to talk about how to live a more proactive life

And over the course of a decade, I figured out how to live life proactively and punch the Sunday Scaries in the face

Having thought about this for nearly a decade, here are the THREE key reasons why you get the Sunday Scaries:

#1 – You’re avoiding thinking about it

There’s a rule in racing. You need to LOOK at the direction you want to go. Even if the car is spinning out. LOOK at the road and the direction you want to go. Here’s the thing though, when your car is spinning out of control, where are you looking? The wall you’re about to hit. Where are you supposed to look? The road where you’re supposed to be headed!  The same goes for Monday. You’re spending so much energy worried about Monday, that’s exactly where you’re being pulled… a worried Monday and a stress filled Monday night.

#2 – You don’t have a plan for your week

No one ever freaks out when there’s a plan. Can you imagine if you stared Monday in the face, looked at your whole week, and created a plan for yourself? Even if there are tough days ahead? The thing is in the absence of a plan, our mind drifts. It goes crazy. It starts creating all kinds of unlikely scenarios in our mind. And that’s what’s going on on Sunday. You’re out of the game and out of flow for two days — and you’re going back to your routine with no plan. It’s no wonder you’re mind is freaking out!

#3 – You’re on the wrong path in your life

This might be the toughest one. You may have some legitimate reasons to be scared. It’s your subconscious mind, maybe your heart, maybe your soul, the universe, god, whatever you believe, telling you that you’re on the wrong path. What you’re doing Monday is not what you’re meant to be spending your time on.

I’ve had a ton of Sundays where I experienced the Sunday jitters and then I DECIDED I didn’t want them anymore. Be sure to check out my other video about how I battle the Sunday Scaries here.

I’ve taken on plenty of big goals in my career and in my life.

And because I took risks like quitting my steady six figure job, and because I took risky bets, because I started companies, because I took on projects that I had no business taking on….

I’ve been rewarded handsomely in life and I’m thankful for it.

But not in a single one of those endeavors did things go perfectly.

In fact in almost all of them, I faced massive amounts of adversity, self doubt, and seemingly insurmountable challenges.

There was this one time when my business, ToutApp was in trouble. We had just ended a board meeting, and it was SO bad that each of my board members gave me a HUG and gave me my orders: Cut the company down to 15 people ( we were at 80 people) and figure it out from there. God Speed.

Sometimes, adversity strikes us in our personal lives. There was the time I was going through my divorce, and while I was doing 80 hour weeks to build the company, the lawyer sent me a nice note saying “We’re coming for you… for your money and the company”

And then there was even the time when I was going through selling ToutApp and I suffered a Gout attack while having shingles along the side of my body.

You see. Successful people don’t talk about that.

Those moments when you’re closer than ever on your goals and things are going wrong in other areas of your life

Or the messy middle when things are all falling apart and you’re not even sure if you’re going to make it to the promise land.

For all the success that I’ve had, I’ve had moments when it was all falling apart.

And in those moments, we’re tired. We’re feeling defeated. We just want to give up. And we just don’t know how we can keep going.

I’ve been there multiple times along the path to success.

So what happened?

How did I get passed those terrible horrifying moments?

In my life, during those moments, I was able to work through it. I was able to turn my company around and get to a great outcome. I was able to overcome my divorce. I was able rebuild my health.

Common personal development advice would tell you to double down. To gather up more energy. You would think given that this channel is called UNSTOPPABLE I’d tell you RUN TO THE FIRE and GO FIX IT!

But take it from someone that has been there, it’s hard to get to that mentality when the shit is hitting the fan.

And so in those moments when I was feeling overwhelmed, defeated, hopeless, I did the ONE THING that no one will tell you to do.

I shut it all down. Even if for a half day or a weekend. I shut it all down, I told everyone I’d get back to them in a day, and I went to the movies. Or I went to the beach. I chucked my phone, I put it all away, and I went away.

Not to fight off the feelings that I was feeling, but to FEEL those feelings, to let it flow THROUGH ME instead of me fighting back. Even if for a half day.

There’s a strange thing that happens when it comes to adversity. The more you try to fight it, the stronger it becomes. But the more you let it just flow through you and feel it, the weaker it becomes.

So in each and every one of those scenarios, I shut it all down, I took the time to collect my thoughts, to feel the overwhelmedness and recollect myself.

Sure enough, a day or two later, I always came back with more energy, a fresh perspective, and a new way to attack and solve the problem.

And it worked for me every time. No matter how bad the situation. Because I gave myself that time to recharge even if just a little bit.

So the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed, DON’T FIGHT IT.

Take the day off and shut it all down.

Find a friend that’ll help you escape the current moment and laugh again.

And tomorrow, come back with a vengeance.
