Coming Clean About My Addiction

I used to be addicted to Vicodin… a lot of it, and it’s something that I’m not proud of. 

Truth is, I lied to myself by saying I wasn’t addicted to it… 

…that I just used it to fall asleep at night. 

But I was dependent on it, in a big way. 

That was well over ten years ago. These days I have a new addiction… 

I want to tell you about a little-known drug that’s been around for ages and it’s actually a really good addiction. 

This ‘limitless’ drug is very effective in giving you focus, discipline, confidence, and happiness.

It’s said to be the cheat code for success and alleviates depression, stress, and anxiety.

And the truth is… 

I’ve been addicted to it for YEARS!

I’ll be honest it’s very addictive and once you start it you may not want to stop, but it’s okay because there are ZERO negative side effects. 

So as your occasional ‘motivation dealer’... 

Let me explain how you can get your hands on this insane ‘gateway drug’ to awesomeness…

WORKOUT!

Yes it’s that simple!

Working out has led me to a life of greater significance, success, and happiness.

My journey started 23 years ago when I found my purpose through fitness.

This led me to pursue personal training and help people build better bodies. 

Besides helping them transform their bodies I loved helping them transform their confidence and self-esteem. 

Now changing your body won’t automatically improve your life. 

But when a person realizes they have the ability to transform and take control of their body. 

They soon realize they could do the same with their life!

If you’re looking to learn the exact program I currently follow to stay lean, jacked, and mentally fit then check out the program that I’ve personally battle-tested, Battle Ready.

Carefully though, as I mentioned earlier, this ‘limitless’ drug is very addictive and effective in giving you focus, discipline, confidence, and happiness

And the team at Battle Ready will not only get you hooked…

But they will lead you down a path of greater significance, success, and happiness.

So as your occasional ‘motivation dealer’ this is one drug I approve of you getting hooked on.

P.S. The new year is right around the corner. What are you doing to make sure that 2023 is an even better year for you, your success, and your health and happiness? I want you to join me for the Misogi Challenge taking place on January 7th!

How to Develop Unwavering Discipline

Everyone thinks extremely disciplined people are magically born with it but it’s actually the opposite.

The most disciplined people I know were at one point actually the laziest people.

How do I know this?

At one point in my life…I WAS ONE OF THEM.

Today I want to share how I was able to create MASSIVE amounts of discipline and how you can too!

Discipline has separated me from the competition, improved my marriage, gotten me in the best shape of my life, and helped me show up as an even better leader and father. 

Developing discipline isn’t complicated yet most people struggle with it throughout their lives.

Especially in today’s society where temptations are only one click away on your phone.

Why cook a nutritious meal to fuel your body when there’s a food delivery app to get your favorite fast food meal?

Why even drive when you can just order a f@cking Uber? 

Hell why even try to meet a potential spouse when you can go to that ‘favorite’ site of yours? 

The convenience of everything has created a complacent society.

And that convenience is a recipe for a life of mediocrity that is full of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Here are some tips that have helped me develop unwavering discipline:

1) Control Your Environment

Just about everything now revolves around you using that 6-inch thing you love to hold…your phone

With all the notifications, text messages, and phone calls I receive throughout the day the one thing I found to keep me focused is to put my phone in Do Not Disturb and put the phone away in a different room.

When things are out of sight, you are less likely to be tempted by them. This goes with just about anything that will deter you away from your goals. 

You are less likely to dominate your life if you allow your external environment to control it.

2) Do Hard Sh!t & Create Public Accountability 

When I decided to give myself six weeks to prepare for a marathon, not only did I hire and pay my marathon coach in full but I let everyone around me know. 

The reason I love doing 6-week challenges is that they not only get me out of my comfort zone but also help me build accountability by telling my family, friends, and staff about it.

Letting others know what I’m doing takes away any ability to negotiate with the inner b!tch that doesn’t want me to follow through. I’d rather follow through with what I say I’m going to do than be seen as someone who isn’t true to his word.

If you want to start your own 6-week challenge then sign up for my free 26.2 challenge. It’s the same protocol I used to prepare and dominate my marathon.

3) Audit Your Friend Circle

You’ve heard this quote before:

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”  – Jim Rohn

Look, I don’t care about the number…

Regardless of how many people you spend your time with they will eventually help you develop either a growth mentality or a crab mentality. 

A growth mentality of helping you elevate to your higher self.

Or a crab mentality of negativity that holds you back from achieving your goals.

This is part of the reason why we created a group for all graduates of the MDK Project. At any moment any of the graduates can reach out to each other for support and lean on each other for guidance.

Audit your circle and choose carefully.

4) Action Trumps Everything

I have greater respect for the man who urgently executes a decent plan vs the man who spends a lifetime developing the perfect plan.

Before I ever franchised Fit Body Boot Camp I started doing boot camp training outside, rain or shine. Which led me to rent out gymnastic gyms during their off hours, which led to me starting the franchise.

At each stage, I adapted and reiterated my plan with the goal of franchising in mind. Fit Body Boot Camp wouldn’t be the worldwide recognized brand it is today if I hadn’t taken the action and adjusted the plan as I went along.

Whether it’s starting the business, changing the career, or following that dream, it will never be the right time and it will never be perfect.

Stop making excuses, there is no real way to be ready unless you just begin.

5) Get In Shape

A lot of people think that discipline is all mental but the truth is it starts with how you physically carry yourself.

There’s a reason why Fitness is one of the pillars we focus on in the MDK Project. Fitness is the gateway to unlocking your full potential and creating the life you want.  

If you’re looking for a program then check out Battle Ready Fit, it’s been battle tested not only by me but hundreds of men.

Look, if you take anything from this post it’s to focus on your health if you want to increase your wealth.

Bonus Tip: Hire A Coach

There’s a reason why for every single one of my six-week challenges I’ve hired a coach. Because they’ve been down the path and have the knowledge to get me to where I want to be. Leading me to have less resistance, more accountability, and helping me reach my goal faster. 

This is the same reason why individuals pay $100,000 for my yearly coaching program. Because I give them the roadmap to scale their businesses, keep them on track, and reach their goals sooner.

Finding a coach is an incredible way to help you follow through and develop long-term discipline.

Discipline is a habit. Build the habit.

Look, if you’ve never been disciplined it can be one of the most challenging things to develop…

but it isn’t rocket science.

It’s a habit developed through consistent work, focus, and willpower.

If you want to take control of your life and not live in mediocrity then developing discipline is crucial. 

Hopefully, these tips help you get on the right track to developing unwavering discipline so that you can have an exceptional life full of meaning and impact.

Get out of your Comfort Zone and into your Danger Zone

I finally got around to seeing the new Top Gun movie this weekend.

My honest review on it…nostalgic yes…but definitely not better than the first.

But this email isn’t about my damn review of a movie.

Besides all the action I wanted to talk about one thing – the opening scene.

The build-up of the F-14’s take-off, the Naval crew getting into position, the flight deck being cleared, and pilots entering the aircraft. 

But right when Highway to the Danger Zone started playing this grown ass 48 year old man turned right back into that 11 year old boy I was when I watched the original.

I remembered the feeling that anything was possible, wanting to be a thrill seeker and develop a Fighter Pilot Jet Mentality.

To push my limits and Ride into the Danger Zone

Over the years I’ve realized the Danger Zone wasn’t a place – but a mentality.

The new year is a month away and just like every year, most people will revert back to that 11 year old kid… 

Full of hope…

Wanting to take risks…

And break through their limits…

But how many of them actually succeed?

Most people think that writing their goals down, reciting them out loud, and visualizing them every day will get them what they want out of life – WRONG!

The truth is if you want to develop a Fighter Jet mentality…

All the positive self-talk and motivational quotes won’t move you forward in achieving what you want out of life if you’re not taking action.

This is why I created the Misogi Challenge, a one-day event on January 7, 2023. 

A Japanese-inspired time-tested physical ritual that sets the stage for dominating the next 364 days of the year.

Helping you shatter limiting beliefs and rewire the B.S. negative self-talk that has you stuck in life – just like how Maverick pushed past his limits in Top Gun.

If you’re looking to challenge the mediocre mentality that holds back countless millions of people every year from unlocking their full potential then I encourage you to apply.

Apply to the Misogi Challenge.

With the New Year nearly here it’s time to start planning how you can ride out of the Comfort Zone and ride into…the Danger Zone.

In the Absence of Discipline, Motivation is Useless

With over $100,000,000+ in sales across my businesses I usually get asked the same thing…

How have I stayed motivated for so long and how can they stay motivated, too?

My answer usually goes something like this…

The question you should be asking is not how can I stay motivated…

…BUT how can I stay disciplined?

Many times I wake up unmotivated… 

…but I’m disciplined as fuck EVERYDAY and it’s what has made me successful! 

EVERYONE’S motivated to start a business, lose weight, or make a change in their life.

But VERY FEW are disciplined to follow through.

Understand this, the number one determining factor for your success is your ability to do the work and follow through – no matter how you feel.

Success isn’t a result of motivation, but discipline. 

Motivation is the ‘spark’, the initial fuel that gets you going and excited. 

But when reality sets in and it’s time to do the work that ‘spark’ usually dims…REAL QUICK.

Discipline is the constant fuel that keeps the fire going. 

It’s the drive that keeps you focused and moving forward…

EVEN when…

it’s inconvenient…

you had a bad day…

you fail…

And when you keep failing…again…and AGAIN.

Discipline keeps you showing up no matter the circumstances.

What I’m trying to say is your ability to push through when sh!t gets tough can be the difference between failure and success in any area of life.

If you want to succeed at ANYTHING in life you must develop a disciplined routine, positive habits, and skills to create long-term success for yourself. 

The good news is that just like developing muscle discipline can be developed the more you train it.

I’ll be talking about how to develop discipline in my next post.

But for now, if you’re looking to get a head start on the competition and begin developing unwavering discipline so that you can have a killer 2023? Then I highly recommend you join me for the 12 hour Misogi Challenge on January 7th. 

See, you can stay in your comfort zone, or you can do something badass and challenging to blast you into massive success!

The Role of a Man Today

I want to share with you a quote I discovered long ago and have never forgotten.

Moms turn babies into boys. Dads turn boys into men. 

From the moment my son was born, I knew that it was my responsibility and mission in life to be a role model for him.

At a young age, I showed him how to be chivalrous like opening doors for my wife Diana. 

Teaching him how to be a protector and watch over his little sister.

And letting him know the importance of giving a firm handshake when meeting someone.

Helping him understand the duties and responsibilities of what it meant to be a man.

Throughout history, it has been the role of men to teach boys to become strong, capable men. 

That is our role as dads, uncles, and older brothers.

In peacetime, a man must be a servant, providing for and protecting his family. 

In wartime, he must be a savage warrior, standing in the gap between his family and danger. 

Today these rites of passage are all but non-existent – part of the reason why I created the Squire Program

And over the past two decades, masculinity has been villainized…

The media, schools, and government have tried to neuter men.  

The media is trying to tell us how to act. 

 The schools are trying to tell us how to feel. 

And the government is trying to tell us what we can and can’t do. 

They are painting us to be toxic and forcing the narrative that men should be soft, weak, and docile.

But now we are starting to see this narrative questioned and we’re seeing a reawakening of masculinity – AND IT’S F#CKING BEAUTIFUL!

The opposition doesn’t want to see us take back our manhood because they know we are the only thing standing between them and absolute power.

This is why I’m so passionate about helping men reawaken their masculinity by finding their purpose and meaning in life through the Modern Day Knight Project

So that they can show up as the father, husband, mentor, and servant leader they know deep down their meant to be.

As men it’s our responsibility and our duty to be confident, capable, courageous, and always prepared.

So that we can raise and mentor the next generation of confident young men and future leaders.

After seeing hundreds of men go through the Modern Day Knight Project I can tell you now more than ever we must be purpose driven men.

Men who are strong enough to speak our minds.  

Men who are brave enough to stand in the gap and face those looking to silence us.  

Men who are proud enough to stand up for what they believe in. 

Men who are called to be servant leaders for their families and communities.

This is the role of a man today – not just in America, but all over the world!

Much love,

Bedros

What the Notorious BIG taught me about money

One of the most influential rappers of all time taught me this…

“Mo Money Mo Problems”

And over the last two decades of building multiple successful 7 & 8-figure businesses and brands, I’ve learned this…

When it comes to having ‘Mo Problems’…

I’d rather have first world problems than third world problems.

I come from a childhood of third world problems where we frequently ran out of money before we ran out of month.

Because of this I always wondered if we would have hot water or electricity when I got home from school. 

From experience I can tell you I’d rather have the first world problem of figuring out how to generate more cash flow for one of my businesses…

…instead of worrying about my family being on the streets next month.

Look – money won’t solve all your problems.

But I can tell you that it sure is easier to find solutions to your problems when you have money.

That’s why I give away the 26.2 Challenge for free for anyone looking to developing unwavering discipline and unshakable confidence. 

So that they can lay the foundation to earn more money and step out of a third world mindset to focus on first world solutions.

Look, with the crazy levels of inflation we’re all battling and this nasty recession that we’re going into, it’s best for you to know how to make more money, increase profits and generate more income streams.

Whether it’s finding a mentor, hiring a business coach, or getting involved in a mastermind. 

It is more important now more than ever to create a game plan for your life and business and develop an unbreakable mindset. 

So that when ‘Mo Problems’ come up…

Whether it be through a recession, depression, stock market crashes, or lockdowns…

You have the discipline, skills, and knowledge to come out financially on top.

how to build a life of purpose and impact

I recently flew out to North Carolina to host the Squire Program, a father and son experience that transforms young boys into men.

Over 50 kick@ss fathers came out to provide a rite of passage into manhood for their bad@ss sons. 

Creating a greater bond and a memory that will last a lifetime between them.

In every Squire Program class, the fathers leave more empowered in communicating with their boys. 

While the sons leave understanding how to carry themselves as a truly masculine man. Attaining more confidence, understanding personal responsibility, building resilience, and developing a no-quit mentality,

After seeing the fathers and sons leave as better men and leaders, I wanted to share 3 important lessons you can easily apply to your life and business.

Whether you’re a father or not I know these lessons will help you build a life of purpose and impact. 

Let’s jump into it!

Lesson #1: Develop your core values and make them non-negotiable

At the Squire Program, we teach the importance of establishing core values and holding yourself accountable to them by creating non-negotiables.

Non-negotiables create confidence and confidence helps build a higher reputation for yourself. 

One of my biggest non-negotiables is my morning routine, which starts by not hitting the snooze button. By hitting the snooze button – you’re breaking the promise to yourself of waking up at a specific time.

Now I don’t care if you wake up at 3:00 AM or 8:00 AM – I care about the promises you make to yourself.

The little promises we break to ourselves and others lead to eroding our confidence and our trust. 

When you create your core values and make them non-negotiable I guarantee you’ll be more confident and productive that day.

When you win the day, sooner or later you will win the week, which leads to winning the month, which leads to winning the year. Until you eventually find yourself stacked with so many W’s because you’re living a life of purpose and fulfillment.

Lesson #2: The number one determining factor to a man’s success is who he picks as a spouse

One of the wealthiest men in the world, Warren Buffett, says the most important decision had nothing to do with investments but with choosing who he married.

I’ve been married for over 20 years and I can tell you that I would not be where I am today without the support of my wife.

A good wife will help her husband live his purpose. A good husband will help his wife live her purpose. You both act as a force multiplier, working towards the same goal and using your strengths to support one another build the life you want.

In life, you don’t get to choose your parents, your siblings, or your children. But you do get to choose your wife, so choose wisely.

Lesson #3: Do not live life as a “lone wolf” – find your tribe and grow together.

The problem is most men suffer in silence because they romanticize the lone wolf mentality.

They believe that only they can fulfill their needs and accomplish their vision.

The hard reality is lone wolves go through life alone, feel like no one has their back, and trust no one because they believe that everyone is out for themselves.

If you want to succeed in business and life, you have to have a pack.

For thousands of years, men hunted and lived in tribes with men they could depend on and trust. 

At our core, you and I are tribal and need a tribe of good men that provide support, willpower, and drive. 

Calling you out on your bullsh!t when needed and encouraging you to be a better man.

Find your tribe and grow together – and if you don’t have one check out the brotherhood we’ve built at the MDK Project.

These are just a few of the lessons from the Squire Program you can use take to level up and change the way you think.

Much love,

Bedros

Only Dead People Have No Problems

In the Bible, it says it’s better to go to the house of mourning than the house of feasting.

Why? Because it makes you think more seriously about the big picture of life and your role in it.

The big picture of life is that we all have the same destiny.

We die.

I was reminded of this a couple weeks ago while visiting Miami…

While on my morning walk in Miami I took a detour through a cemetery.

In this cemetery, big, small, artistic, and simple headstones were placed everywhere.

I didn’t come to this cemetery to pay my respect to anyone. 

To be frank, I didn’t know anyone. I was just compelled to walk into the cemetery for some reason and so I did. 

I was surrounded by the dead. 

I didn’t know what kind of car they drove, the home they lived in, or the possessions they had.

I didn’t know if they were millionaires or if they were grinding it out day to day just to make ends meet.

And I didn’t know if they had an easy or hard life before they died. 

But I did know ONE thing…

They had no more problems.

Why? Because they’re dead.

And when you’re dead every day is pretty much the same. 

So when I hear people bitch and complain about having problems, I say good. Because that’s a sign of life. 

You see, life is about solving and learning from problems.

It’s a part of the human experience.

From the day we’re born to the day we die, we’re faced with problems big and small… 

…we’re faced with simple and complex problems to solve. 

We’re designed to be problem solvers. 

Now here’s the BIG takeaway I want you to walk away with, if you’re alive, stop acting like you’re dead.

Stop wishing to have no problems. 

Every problem and adversity you face is a seed for greater opportunity… if you’re willing to step up and solve it. 

So congratulations! If you have problems right now, it means you’re alive. 

Solve them. 

Be grateful for them.

Because only dead people have no problems.

Why You Should Start Judging People

The quality of your life is based on the quality of your relationships.

The wisdom I’m about to give will help you network in business like a pro, build long-lasting relationships, and be liked and respected by the people you meet.

But first, allow me to tell you how I judge people, including you.

Yes, I judge every single person I meet, and I put them into 2 categories.

A.) Value Adders

B.) Value Extractors

(Now, if you’re going to tell me to never judge a book by its cover, stop.

Thanks, Karen for your “valuable” input, but I don’t judge people based on their looks. I judge people by their character and actions.)

Let me explain each category in full detail.

*********************

SIDE NOTE: At the Modern Day Knight Project this is just one of the 118 lessons we teach the men who show up to level up and reach their fullest potential in business, leadership and life.

*********************

The Value Adder shows up with a giving hand without expecting anything.

The Value Adder brings positive energy to the room.

The Value Adder asks: “how can I help you?”

The Value Extractor is always thinking, “what’s in it for me?” Even if it’s holding the door open for someone.

The Value Extractor is always trying to get something for themselves without consideration for the person across from them.

The Value Extractor is like a vampire. They suck out the energy of the room.

This is the kind of person you only hear from when they need something from you.

Now let’s dive into how this can help you network like a pro, build long-lasting relationships, and be respected by those you meet.

You see, when you wake up in the morning, you have a choice.

You can choose to wear the Value Adder hat that represents being of service to others.

Or you can wear the Value Extractor hat that puts you in the “What’s in it for me?” mindset.

Here’s a not so obvious tip that’s overlooked, your quality of life is better when you’re wearing the Value Adder hat…

…but the fact is, most people organically lean toward being value extractors.

So that means we all need to make a conscious effort to lean into adding value and coming with the giving hand first.

If you want to see how well this works, take this one week challenge…

For the next week make an extra effort to show you as a value adder. Help others, open doors, solve more problems, make introductions and connections and do it all WITH ZERO EXPECTATION.

I think you’ll be surprised with how people will treat you, respect you, and want to help you.

A Book I Recommend You Read (Again)

NOTE: The book recommendation I have for you is at the bottom of this email.

But first, I gotta get something off my chest that’s also going to serve as a great lesson for you.

I’m borrowing a page from Jordan Belfort (the Wolf of Wall Street), minus the drugs, hookers, jail and STDs.

I keep getting asked, “When are you going to leave California?”

I ain’t F#ck!ing leaving!

Look, I see the same stuff you’re seeing.

I see California getting more expensive, some of my favorite parts are getting run down and it’s becoming even more socialist.

For over a decade it’s been going downhill and governor Newsome’s recent policies have made it worse.

Don’t think it didn’t cross my mind when I see that I’m getting taxed 13% more here in California than if I lived in most other states.

I’ve looked at homes in Arizona, Texas, and Florida.

But there’s NOTHING like California. And if you live here or have visited here then you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about.

Where else can you surf and snowboard on the same day?

And then you’ve got the perfect weather, the beaches, and the mountains.

California, there’s no place like it.

Now the reason why I’m sharing this with you is that I want to make California great again!

I refuse to run away from the disaster that California has become.

I refuse to run away, period!

Let’s say California was your business and it was facing a problem.

Would you bury your head in the sand like an ostrich and wait for the problem to go away?

Would you abandon your business and run and start another business in its place and hope that this time things are better?

No! You’d stand your ground and do anything within your power to find the solution.

That’s why I’m not leaving California. I’m going to face the problems head-on and find solutions to them.

And for the people who are gonna say it’s cheaper to NOT live in California, here’s some advice:

Don’t downgrade your lifestyle. Upgrade your income. MAKE MORE MONEY. 

If I’m going to get taxed more to live in an awesome state, I simply need to make more money…

…because downgrading the quality of your life is simply NOT how anyone should live.
