First off, Brian Tracy is a titan in personal development, and his insights on mental toughness are pure gold. He's written 94 books on success, leadership, personal development and goals. 94! And he's working on 6 more to get to a nice round 100!

We discuss the art of transforming rejection into resilience—an absolute game-changer for anyone in sales. Brian shares his legendary "Psychology of Selling," a seminar that has literally created millionaires worldwide. It's all about harnessing mental fortitude to turn setbacks into setups for success.

Brian's relentless pursuit of excellence is infectious. At 81, he's still reading three hours a day, constantly evolving and sharpening his skills. We explore his journey from seminar attendee to a global influencer, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning and self-improvement.

One of the standout moments is Brian's take on "Eat That Frog," a concept inspired by Mark Twain, and the title of one of his best-selling books. It's about tackling the toughest tasks first to set the tone for a productive day. This episode is a treasure trove of actionable strategies, empowering you to respond to life's challenges with mastery and enthusiasm.

Brian's passion for helping others succeed shines through, and his wisdom is a blueprint for anyone serious about leveling up their game.

At the very end, he actually beat me to the punch on what would have been my final question of the interview. I was about to ask him, "If you could only give ONE piece of advice to people on how to realize their dreams, what would it be?" And his answer (before I even got to ask it) has become a part of my morning routine now. You'll love it!

Was this week or last week a crazy week? Yeah? Crazy, huh? You have "crazy weeks" in your life, do ya? (This is a setup, by the way.) Without me needing to know one thing about your week, I can already tell you EXACTLY why it was "crazy." And I'm not even psychic (that I know of). Here it is: crazy thinking. There's no such thing as a crazy week. Or a crazy day. Or a crazy second. There's only crazy interpretations.

Every morning, thousands of people around the world receive my favorite creation, The Daily Dose: Mental Toughness Tips in 30 Seconds or Less. It's a simple email that arrives at about 6am wherever you are in the world. The idea is to start each day with a Dose of Mental Toughness to get your head right first thing, because as Lao Tzu said "If you get your mind right, the rest of your life will fall into place."

Every week I get a handful of emails from folks responding back, telling me how that particular Dose was just what they needed that day. The signup link is in the comments.

RE-MIND-ER Alert! Take a moment right now to acknowledge deeply just two things for which you are incredibly grateful. Make this a habit. When in gratitude, it is impossible to be suffering.
