I wanted to share this with you since I’ve been doing it for 15 years now.

I always do these four things to set my goals and intentions at the start of every year to get me on track for a better year than the one before.

I call them my four New Year Pillars.

These 4 pillars will help you make your bank account fatter, live better, and impact bigger.

Pillar #1: Get Crystal Clear On What You Want

Without knowing what you want, you won’t know where to go.

And to be a great leader, you need to know where to go. Or it will be the blind leading the blind.

Your business goals can be anything. Like:

• Working 10 hours less a week.
• Hiring new employees.
• Or simply, making more cash.

It doesn’t matter what your goal is, but if you want to build an empire and an awesome life, you must know what you want, and when you want it.

Once you get crystal clear on your 2021 goals then I want you to write them down and read them daily first thing in the morning.

Pillar #2: Share your goals with your team

Too many entrepreneurs screw this part up.

They keep their vision and goals to themselves and expect their team to read their minds. (I used to do this. And it’s why I struggled for so many years.)

Building an empire is impossible to do alone, which is why you must share your goals and vision with your team.

As the captain of your ship, your crew must know where they’re going and what they need to do. And if you don’t have a team or employees yet, share your goals with your family and friends who support you.

Them knowing where the business is headed and what to do to get there, allows your entire team to move TOGETHER with a purpose.

And if someone doesn’t do their part and tries to take you off course, get them off your ship ASAP.

Remember to fire fast, hire slow.

Pillar #3: Set your KPIs

KPIs are short for Key Performance Indicators. In other words, the numbers you need to hit in order to accomplish your goals.

You can’t grow what isn’t measured.

Establishing your KPIs allows you to see if you’re behind, on track, or ahead of schedule.

Here’s the most important part about your KPIs, they need to be tracked every day. 

This is exactly how I grew Fit Body Boot Camp into an international fitness franchise in just a few years.

Knowing what your KPIs are every day gives you the ability to pivot quickly and scale faster.

So after you’re crystal clear on what you want, you’ve shared it with your team and figured out your KPIs, you can go to the final pillar of Empire Goal-Setting.

Pillar #4: Stay Committed

Motivation is B.S. it comes and goes like the waves hitting a cliffside.

Commitment is the cliff that stays put and doesn’t crumble after the waves come and go.

This fourth pillar will make or break your 2021 goals.

Why? Because something will go wrong and knock you on your back, you’ll get back on your feet.

I can’t tell you how many things went wrong while building Fit Body Boot Camp. But my goal is to help hundreds of thousands of people every day so I just took my punches and got back up.

You see, if you relied on motivation, you will give up after the first knockdown. But if you’re committed to the process, and don’t give up, you’ll reach your final destination.

Use these 4 pillars of Empire Goal-Setting to dominate your path in 2021.

Look…

After the B.S. the government and this COVID crapola has put us through, it’s our time to shine.

I’m looking for two more private coaching clients who want to scale to multiple six figures and beyond. If that’s you, click here to apply for my 12-month mentorship program.

Have you ever been punched in the face by a professional MMA fighter?

I have. And it sucks.

I don’t want you to fall to the ground as I did after getting punched by a Professional MMA Fighter.

It’s embarrassing to tell you this, but I didn’t get punched that hard… and I fell to the ground.

In fact, the guy who punched me was pulling his punches, which means he was barely trying.

See, I had hired a professional MMA fighter to put me through a six-week challenge to learn MMA fighting. This guy was a pro.

And when he punched me during our first sparring match I fell to the ground.

The reason I fell to the ground is that I wasn’t used to getting punched in the face.

In fact, my MMA coach told me these words that stuck with me forever: Just because you get punched in the face doesn’t mean you have to fall down. 

And when you’re an entrepreneur, you’ll get punched in the face a lot. More than you can count.

This happens to new entrepreneurs often…

The punch can come by way of an economic crisis, or increased competition, or a virus… but when it comes they’ll fall right to the ground.

After 20+ years in the game, and building seven companies I’ve learned how to bounce back after getting punched. Yet this only happens when you expand your comfort zone.

In other words when you get comfortable being uncomfortable.

You see, when you condition yourself to be comfortable being uncomfortable, the next time that you get punched in the face, you won’t fall to the ground.

That’s the secret to growth in any area of life.

It doesn’t matter if it’s business, fitness or your relationships. The more you step out of your comfort zone the better the experience will be.

The more you’ll win.

And I want to see you win more in 2021.

Bedros

P.S. – I want to invite you to win more in 2021. I have two ways to help you. The first is the Modern Day Knight Project – a 75-hour personal growth experience for men who want to dominate in business and in life.

The second way to help you win more in 2021 is by helping you scale your business with better marketing, more sales, and higher profits with my 12 Month Mentorship Program.

Money can’t buy happiness…

…but it sure can solve the problem of not having enough money.

And that’s a really good problem to solve.

Here are 5 ways you can make more in 2021.

First off, understand that your success will never exceed your level of leadership.

So let’s start there…

1. Ask “What can I learn from this?”

This is the most important question you can ask yourself when sh*t hits the fan.

Don’t make the same mistake many entrepreneurs make of playing the victim. That won’t get you any closer to finding the solution to your problems.

Things happen to us for a reason, and it’s a leader’s duty to figure out what you can learn from it. This is why you must ask yourself, “What can I learn from this?”

And if what you learn is that you must become a better leader… so be it. Own it and level up.

2. Tolerate Imperfection 

The only way you can grow your business is to take imperfect action. And the only way you can do that is with speed.

Success loves speed.

Money loves speed.

Success doesn’t wait around for the perfect plan or for things to be “just right”.

Opportunities don’t wait. You have to capitalize on them before someone else does. So you must execute imperfect plans with imperfect actions quickly and then course-correct as you go.

3. Create more than you consume

I’ve noticed a pattern in success. The most successful people I know are the creators of content.

On the other hand, those who left money on the table did a lot more consuming of content.

Here are the facts. Creators will always earn more than consumers.

If you want to maximize your success and money-making potential then create more content and get your product or service in front of your future customers.

4. Differentiate and Stand Out

If you’re competing with others in your industry then you have to change what they charge just to stay competitive.

How will you stand out if you’re just like the rest of them?

How can you charge more if they think you’re the same as all the rest?

If you want to create a “category of one” for yourself then you best start differentiating.

What makes your product different?

How does it deliver better or faster results?

Is it easier to use?

Then you better prove it and be all about it. It’s the only way you’re going to differentiate and stand out.

5. Get Feedback 

Feedback tells us how you’re doing, and what to do to course correct.

The best way to get feedback is with a mentor. They’ll show you the path, point out your weak points, and help you create an action plan to adjust and succeed.

It’s called “outside eyes”.

You need a set of outside eyes on your business so that you can see around corners and scale your business faster.

I grew Fit Body Boot Camp into an international franchise by asking for feedback from mentors who I trust.

I want to help you scale to 7 figures.

If your business is generated 6 figures in 2020 and if you’re ready to think bigger and make bold moves in 2021 then you might be a good fit for my 12 Month Domination Mentorship Program.

If you want a lean, athletic body that turns heads, you can’t skip the sets and reps in the gym. 

That’s a pretty obvious one, right? 

The same thing applies to business… However, for most business owners, that’s not so obvious. 

If you want to change your family’s financial bloodline and have a business that gives you financial freedom and impact, you can’t skip the sets and reps required to succeed.

What I mean by this, is that you have to put in the work.

You can have the best damn plan in the world, but no one is going to do the work for you. 

My favorite thing about the gym is that it easily translates to business.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from the gym is how to get to where you want faster without wasting time and getting frustrated.

Look, I used to be a fat kid all the way throughout high school. 

When I wanted to stop being fat, I worked with a fitness expert to show me how to train in the gym and how to prep meals in the kitchen.

This allowed me to time collapse how long it took to get and stay fit. 

Hire a pro.

Learn the secrets. 

Get the results.

Stop spinning your wheels and wasting time. 

I apply this same way of thinking with my businesses, too. 

During my “come up” as an entrepreneur I worked with a slew of mentors, business coaches, copywriting experts and marketers so I can get better at my craft. 

I’d find someone who has the type of lifestyle and income I want, and I’d hire them so that they could show me what to do and what pitfalls to avoid.

In other words, I find people to help me get results faster… because success leaves clues. 

A personal trainer and a mentor can do a lot of things for you, except for one thing. The work

No one can do that for you, but YOU.

At the bottom of all my emails, I have what I call “The Rules Of The Game”.

For me, these are the non-negotiable rules that I will always lean into in order to reach my fullest potential in everything I do.

In this post, I want to share these rules with you in greater detail so that you understand why these rules are there and how they help me… AND HOW THEY CAN HELP YOU, TOO.

I suggest that you create your own rules as well, or adopt mine.

Rule 1: Choose purpose over pleasure.

This is a sign of a disciplined person. The poorly disciplined will choose pleasure and ease over purpose and duty. I can’t tell you how many people I know who say they want a successful business and financial freedom but waste time screen sucking on social media or Netflix.

Choose hard over easy and you’ll have an easy and awesome life. But it takes personal discipline to do the hard things when the easy things are so easily accessible.

Rule 2: Action alleviates anxiety.

This ties in with number one above. Most people who experience anxiety do so because they avoid doing the work or having a tough conversation, or what have you. Anxiety is the anticipation of future pain. And the only thing that cures anxiety is action.

Rule 3: How you do anything is how you do everything.

You know this to be true. If you can’t keep your car clean then your home is probably a mess, too. And if your car and home are a mass then so is your workspace, mindset, fitness, and bank account. How you do anything is how you do everything.

Rule 4: Never negotiate with your inner bitch.

How many of your goals, dreams, and ambitions have you negotiated away? Inside all of us is an inner bitch and a beast. Who you do give the power to when it’s time to make decisions or act? Choose beast over inner bitch.

Rule 5: Winners are not allergic to hard work.

Do you know why winners always win? Because they’re not allergic to hard work. Winners do the work. Winners put in the time. Winners don’t stop when things get hard. Winners find a way because they’ll do what’s required.

BTW, If you’re a gym owner or personal trainer get this course – it’ll blow your business up!

At any moment, I was going to throw up!

My lungs were on fire.

Picking up my legs felt as if they were cement blocks.

“Do I quit? Do I fake a hamstring injury? People would sympathize. Or do I finish this damn marathon?”

I’m not a runner. I’m 6 foot and 220lbs of awesome muscle.

What the F#&c am I doing running a marathon?

I hit the wall. HARD!

The 18-mile wall that every runner faces when running a marathon. And it was blocking my path to the finish line.

After 6-weeks of training, I entered my first marathon to challenge myself. And boy did I.

I was facing my biggest challenge yet.

The moment of, “Do I quit, or do I finish?” was about to be the defining moment that would dictate my life. Would I become a failure or a success?

I share this with you because entrepreneurs face “the wall” all the time in business.

The wall can be a lawsuit, economic recession, or a new competitor.

Right now, our wall is the coronavirus and the stupidity that is the government.

And it’s blocking our path to the mountain top—the mountain top of success. Many business owners don’t ever reach the top because of one reason: 

They’re not comfortable with the pain. They pump the brakes and stop short.

You see, pain and adversity cause you to grow – if you fight through it and don’t quit.

It helps you get the breakthrough you’re looking for.

Lean into the adversity.

I know it sounds counterintuitive, but trust me on this…

Attack it!

And that’s when the breakthrough will come.

This is how I defeated the 18-mile wall in my marathon race.

I leaned into it… and then finished the marathon.

Right now, we’re facing the wall together.

COVID-19, the lockdowns, and the government mandates are the wall we must overcome.

It’s caused a lot of pain, and we need to lean into it, attack it, and push through.

If not for any other reason than to show your kids (if you have any) that you are not a quitter.

Speaking of kids… If you have a son who’s 13-15 years old please take a moment to learn about the Squire Program. It’s a rite of passage experience into manhood that will be remembered for a lifetime.

I get messages from people every day asking questions about how to have the right mindset, make more sales, etc.

These questions normally sound like “How do I ‘X’ so I can ‘Y’?”

You can replace “X” with:

• Be more productive 
• Make a 7-figure income 
• Quit my 9-5 job
• Stop eating junk food
• Get in better shape

And “Y” is usually the outcome people want like:

• To get more done in the day so I can make it home for dinner
• Provide for my family 
• Break out the rat race 
• Have a 6-pack
• Have better health and more energy

I share this with you because you’re about to discover 3 simple ways to get whatever you want out of life.

1. Turn Off Notifications

Some of the most brilliant minds on the planet are working day and night to control you. They do this with your phone and the apps on it.

Every little thing on the apps you have on your phone is designed to suck you into their attention-draining black hole and to take you off track from your goals.

What’s their bait? Notifications.

Notifications are used to pull you back onto these apps.

The main goal of these apps is to keep you there as long as possible because that’s how they make their money.

This is how Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other companies keep you glued to the screen like sheep.

You’re not a sheep. You’re far from that.

You want to be a leader who makes their own path, right? 

So then for you to dominate your path, you need to turn off notifications.

Doing this will keep you in control and not a pawn in the BIG techs game.

2. Start Creating Content Rather Than Consuming Content

If you have a business it’s not social media, it’s business media. 

Use every single social media platform you can to drive more traffic, leads, and sales into your business. This will help you create more income streams.

With these income streams, you can make a bigger impact on your family, lifestyle, and community.

For this to happen, you must stop consuming content and start creating content.

Imagine the business and financial leaps you’ll make if you started making content instead of consuming.

3. Do The Work 

There’s no replacement for doing the work.

It’s the #1 way to get any outcome you want out of life.

Doing the work alone will set you apart from the wanna-be’s who waste time screen sucking all day.  

Watch after 6-months of doing the work, you’ll start making more money and getting noticed as a player in the game.

But not if you avoid the work and do “busy work” to put off success.

Turning off notifications, creating content, and doing the work has helped me get to where I am today.

Even in these crazy times, my businesses continue to thrive for one reason… I stay focused, avoid distractions, create content, and do the damn work. 

And it can help you.

What I’ve shared with you is the most basic equation to have success in 2021 and beyond.

One more thing…

I want to help you. And the best way I can think of doing that is by giving you a free copy of my Wall Street Best Selling book Man Up. GET IT HERE.

This past Saturday I wanted to shake things up a bit, so I decided to not go to sleep and instead walked 31 miles through the night.

You might remember that I do these six week challenges that push me out of my comfort zone to test myself and continue to grow as a person. 

So I decided to do something a little different this Saturday night. A sunset to sun up city hike that would take place Saturday starting at 5:00 PM as the sun went down and end Sunday morning at 6:30 AM at sunrise. 

I invited anyone at HQ who wanted to join me and 5 people got in on it. 

Myself, Diana, Erin, Bryce, Byron and Max met up at 4:45 PM in Chino Hills and at 5:00 PM as the sun began to dip we set off on our hike throughout Chino Hills, Diamond Bar and Chino. 

The hike ended on Sunday morning at 6:30 AM when the sun started coming up. 

31 miles in total on foot over 13 hours. 

“Adversity introduces a man to his highest self” 

This is one of my favorite quotes… and it is very true in my experience. 

Take anything simple, like walking and make it hard by doing it late at night when you should be sleeping, in the cold (low 40s temp), up and down hilly roads and see who you really are at mile 31, 13 hours in. 

At the halfway point, at around 11:30 PM we were all feeling good and accomplished. 

I even heard someone say “we got this!” 

Lots of great conversations, connection, deepening of relationships and building grit! 

During the second half of the night as the blisters began to form on our feet and as quads, hamstrings and hips began to cramp and knot up, as the cold began to bite our exposed skin all while sleep deprived… shit got real! 

That’s when you meet who you really are. 

That’s when the inner conversation really begins. 

Self-talk is interesting when you’re freezing, in pain and sleep deprived.

If you pay close attention to what you’re telling yourself and how you’re feeling in that state, you really get to know who you are. 

That’s also when you get to meet the REAL you… and you’re given the opportunity to become the person that you really want to be.

It’s in that moment (or hours) as you’re painfully limping throughout the cold city that you understand this quote the best: 

“Adversity introduces a man to his highest self” 

Because you can quit. You can just stop.

The truth of the matter is that adversity introduces a man to his lowest self as well… 

…if you go negative and quit.

On Saturday night no one quit. 

I can’t say I didn’t think about it for just a fleeting moment. 

But I can tell you that no one quit. 

And that feeling of accomplishment, satisfaction and personal growth that you experience when you do something that less than 1% of people are willing to endure is just something magical. 

The lesson here is this… 

If you choose to do hard things, life becomes easy. If you choose to do easy things, life becomes hard.

Imposter Syndrome. It’ll mess you up in every category of life.

I’ve seen successful businesses crumble because of it.

I’ve seen marriages fall apart.

And I’ve seen people lose their health.

All because they felt like they didn’t belong in a place of success in their business, marriage, or health.

They felt fake.

They felt like imposters and so they subconsciously sabotage everything to validate how they feel.

What I’m about to share will help you overcome feeling like a fraud.

It’s been my biggest life hack to getting rid of Imposter Syndrome.

If more people did this, they wouldn’t be so harsh on themselves or perfectionists.

And there will be more millionaires in my opinion.

You see, the average person has over 6,000 thoughts a day. The majority of these thoughts are negative and self-critical.

Sadly, it’s how our brain is hardwired after millions of years of evolution. But it’s how we’ve been able to survive as a species.

This negativity impacts how we feel, look, and talk.

I see this happen all the time with entrepreneurs today. They practically destroy themselves with negative thoughts and self-talk and then wonder why they can’t seem to catch a break.

They can’t get out their own way.

They pick themselves apart until there’s nothing left.

I share this with you because I used to do the same thing.

My head used to be filled with negative thoughts. And if I made a mistake, I’d beat myself up for hours if not days.

So how did I turn it around you ask?

I started talking to myself the same way I talk to my dog, Cookie.

Think about it.

How do you talk to your dog?

You talk to it with compassion, kindness, and love. It’s all positivity.

And if they do something bad, you can’t stay mad at them forever.

You forgive them and tell them that you love them.

I’m not saying to let yourself off the hook each time you screw up. But I am saying to give yourself a break and don’t let the punishment drag on.

If you screw up, own it, acknowledge it, and move on like the badass that you are.

Don’t you think you’d be more successful and happy?

There’s a wrong assumption about leadership going around today.

People think leaders can find the answers to any problem by digging through the weeds themselves.

And those who think that are dead wrong.

Don’t believe me?

Let’s take a page out of history.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, do you think President John F. Kennedy was on a ship outside the Cuban border? No.

Why would the decision-maker of the FREE WORLD be on a damn battleship?

He would be too close to the action, which would lead to a disaster.

Not because he could get killed, but because he wouldn’t have the mental space to make a rational decision.

So instead of being on a battleship, he took time in the White House garden to find moments of silence.

In these moments of silence, he was able to figure out how to avoid World War 3 or the end of the world.

I share this with you because the same thing applies to business.

It’s why I tell all my entrepreneur coaching clients to stop answering customer support tickets or doing work that they can pay someone $20 an hour to do.

Let someone else do that, so you can get moments of silence to find ways to grow and scale your empire even bigger.

A great leader does a lot of thinking and delegation.

Here’s one of the best tools you can use to find your answers in silence.

It’s a tool that’s survived the test of time.

In fact, emperors, scientific geniuses, and billionaires use it.

It’s called journaling.

Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor, journaled.

Albert Einstein, Nobel Prize-Winning Scientist, journaled.

And so does Richard Branson, the multi-billionaire.

Journaling gives those moments of clarity that help you see the answer you’re looking for.

We use this in The Project.

We have each person write down what’s happening…

What they’re going through…

What breakthroughs they’re experiencing.

With them journaling, they’re able to find moments of silence and make life-changing breakthroughs.

If you’d like to find the answers to your problems, be silent.

Journal and do some deep thinking.

It will help you keep your sanity, make rational decisions, and be a better leader.
