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.

I was watching Jumanji: The Next Level with my daughter, and I realized something.

Why the f*ck did they make another one?

The first one was okay but there’s no need for “The Next Level” but this is when I realized something about entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship is a real-life Jumanji.

Like in Jumanji there are levels to the entrepreneurship game.

There are always levels to beat… and each new level unlocks new challenges for you to overcome as well as new opportunities and new levels of personal growth.

Here are the levels every entrepreneur must get past…

Level 1: $0-$1,000
Level 2: $10,000 – $50,000
Level 3: $50,000 – $100,000
Level 4: $100,000 – $500,000
Level 5: $500,000 – $1,000,000

But then there are the hidden levels…

$10,000,000

$100,00,000

$500,000,000 and more.

These are the levels that YOU should be aiming for!

See, I’d rather see you BIG goals and not hit them, but fail forward. Instead of setting small goals and actually hitting them.

But the truth is that most people don’t get off their butts to even get to level 1, let along strive for the hidden levels.

And some get comfortable at the lower level and NEVER realize their full potential.

But let me tell you this…

There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to build an empire.

But if you’re reading this, odds are you’re driven for more and you know it!

But like in Jumanji, these Empire Builder Levels come with a guide. These are called mentors.

Mentors are the real-life cheat codes to the entrepreneurship game.

They help you find the path to the top quicker.

They help you avoid the dangers that come with each Empire Builder Level.

Mentors simply help you time-collapse your window for success.

So if you want to get the real-life cheat codes to the entrepreneurship game, get a mentor.

If you’d like me to mentor you to multiple 7 figures and beyond then apply for my 12 Month Mentorship Program here.

Your future is much brighter than you think!

There’s going to be another pandemic…

…it’s already been happening, only now it’s spreading further and faster!

And like COVID, it started out small. But now it’s getting bigger and bigger.

In the past few months, it’s spread like wildfire.

It’s consuming everything in sight.

Infecting anyone who gets near it.

What is this new pandemic?

It’s the weakening of men. 

It’s the inner-bitch pandemic.

Here are the symptoms:

• Bitching 
• Complaining
• Losing your killer instincts
• Feeling like a victim
• Constant anxiety
• Feeling depressed 
• Getting fatter and deconditioned 
• Being broke and in debt

These symptoms are super contagious.

The more you allow yourself to wallow in them the weaker you get.

Soon you start finding other weak people to surround yourself with. 

Misery loves company and you’re getting miserable, man. 

This infection will make you feel and act like a victim!

You’ll bitch and complain about what’s happening, and how it caused you to fail.

This will then attract other people infected by the inner-bitch pandemic. 

You soon become a magnet for the weak. 

Then all of you will huddle together and bitch and complain about everything.

You’ll talk about your past and how things were better back then. 

You’ll complain about your wife and her shortcomings. 

You’ll complain about your business or your career. 

You’ll complain about the government and the politicians. 

But you know what you won’t complain about?

The one thing that’s holding you back from being a strong, confident, and capable man. 

YOU.

The cure to the inner-bitch pandemic is realizing that YOU are the one who’s making you weak.

It took me years to realize this.

And I don’t want you to make the same mistakes I have.

So here’s what you need to do.

Harden up. 

Commit to building a strong mind. 

Commit to building a strong body. 

Commit to your goals and dreams. 

Stop quitting. 

Own up to your failures.

Own up to your excuses.

Own up to your shortcomings and make them your strengths. 

The way you get rid of the inner-bitch is to confront the things that are keeping you weak! 

Face it head-on.

And force yourself to MAN UP!

When you do this, your life will change forever.

To your success,

Bedros

The problems that most people have right now will not go away.

Covid will not go away.

The election bullshit will not go away.

The economic downturn will not go away.

They will still be there… at least for a while longer.

And they’ll be there for the next election if you don’t listen to what I’m about to say next.

Let’s take the election as an example…

The election doesn’t dictate your success.

YES, I worry about our country.

YES, I worry about the erosion of our rights.

YES, I worry about the future of our nation.

BUT, I know I’m in control of a LOT more things that will impact me and my family than any president will ever be.

Here are the facts…

Whoever is the president won’t make you an “overnight” success or a failure.

The person who can make that happen is YOU.

This election is a distraction.

It’s a distraction for your business.

Your family.

And your goals.

I share this with you because people can’t stop talking about it.

Biden this.

Trump that.

Enough with this sh!t.

I’ve made millions under Obama.

I’ve made millions under Trump.

And if Biden gets into office, I’ll make millions there, too.

So can you.

Regardless of who’s ass is sitting in the White House, your success is up to you.

It’s YOUR responsibility.

Want to make more money and give yourself and family a better life?

Then consider opening up a Fit Body Boot Camp studio in your town – fitness is recession-proof and Fit Body Boot Camp studios create recurring and predictable income.

People will always need to exercise and want the help of professionals to keep them fit and healthy.

Don’t let an election take you away from your goals

If you already have a business, figure out how you can create multiple revenue streams.

Right now is the time to focus on the things you can control… your health, your mindset, and your money.

Focus on closing out the year strong… and then take that momentum into 2021.

Because while you focus on the election…

Many others are focusing on their business and future.

I’m focused on building my empire, not the election.

Consider this your WAKE UP call.

Focus on your goals and the things that YOU can control and not the election.

Have filed for bankruptcy.

And they’re not the only ones.

Thousands of small businesses have filed too.

Why did this happen? The answer will surprise you.

It’s not because of the pandemic or stupid government officials.

This happened because of the decisions these companies made.

The leaders of these companies took too long to make their decisions.

As leaders, we really only have one job.

It’s to make quick and effective decisions.

Right now, the reason why we’re in the sh!t storm we’re in is because people are freezing up when it’s time to make a decision.

They act like a deer in headlights when it’s time to decide whether to go left or right.

And like the deer who freezes up when a car is coming at them, they get slaughtered.

I don’t want that to happen to you so…

Here’s the strategy behind making quick and effective decisions.

It’s called the 40/70 Rule.

It’s something that General Colin Powell talks about in his book.

Let me explain how it works:

Don’t make a decision with less than 40% of the info. And if you wait to get 70% or more information, you took too long.

In other words, if you WAIT to have 100% of the information you need to make a decision, then it’s likely going to be over for you.

This 40/70 rule is what separates the pros from the amateurs.

And it will save your ass…

Especially during these chaotic times.

The 40/70 Rule can be used on everything. The key here is to learn to make fast decisions and know how to pivot if a decision was a poor one.

That’s how successful leaders seem to always win.

I used the 40/70 Rule on Fit Body Boot Camp.

We transitioned our entire franchise from in-person to online in 3 days.

I did this with only 40% of the info.

If I had waited to get 70% or more info, I might have joined the “Bankruptcy Club” we talked about earlier.

I share this with you because I’m seeing too many entrepreneurs struggling with this.

And it’s costing them their companies and peace of mind.

Here’s how you can start making quicker decisions ASAP:

Like a muscle, it gets strong the more you use it. Right now, your “Decision Muscle” is weak.

To make it stronger, you need to use it more.

Your “Decision Making Muscle” will get stronger by making quick decisions on small things.

Like the shorts or shirt, you wear tomorrow.

Or what to eat for dinner tonight.

Do this for 30 days, and you’ll see the difference in your life and business.

You’ll solve problems quicker…

You’ll be an effective leader…

And build your empire faster.

PS. Listen, leadership is something anyone can build. I teach you how in my book Man Up (which you can get free from here)

So far riots and protests have broken out.

This is not a surprise because this happened with the last election.

Our nation is more divided than ever.

The media made sure of it.

CNN said Trump was a racist and will destroy the country.

Fox News said Biden is corrupt and will sell America’s soul to communist China.

My phone has text messages flying in left and right about the election and what I’m going to do.

To be honest, I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing.

Help people live healthier and more fulfilling lives.

Look, the election will happen and we’ll all vote for who we feel will best lead our country.

But for the most part who wins and what they really do once in power is out of my control but…

What’s in my control is how I treat others.

Because we’re divided right now, everyone is being an @sshole to each other.

So here’s my message and response to the election:

Be kind.

It costs $0 and is super valuable at the same time.

Kindness is what will help heal the nation we all love. It will help glue back the wide gap between us.

Remember, it costs you exactly NOTHING to be kind to others. Yet the return on investment is tenfold.

Talk soon,

Bedros

PS. If you’re worried about what will happen to you and your family if the other guy wins… just remember this: YOU have more control of your mindset, thoughts, actions, income, health, and relationship than some dude in the oval office. YOU are the president of your life. Step up and act like it.

This weekend we hosted the Empire Mastermind at my HQ and for two days we poured into a bunch of impact-driven entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses even faster!

We shared new strategies for lead generation and ways to differentiate your business from the competitors so that they can attract more clients and customers.

We also shared strategies on how to scale a business faster by getting influential people to talk about your product or service for free.

One of my favorite parts about these mastermind meetups is the hot seat sessions. This is where you tell me your most pressing business challenge or opportunity and I give you my strategy to overcome the challenge or exploit the opportunity.

My clients got a TON out of this meetup.

Here are 3 BIG takeaways from the Empire Mastermind I want to share with you today that I think will really help you set the foundation so that you can scale your growth and income even faster.

So pay close attention to what I’m about to tell you…

Because these 3 lessons will help you dominate these chaotic times:

1. We’ve Had 10 Years Of Growth Packed Into 1 Year

This year forced us to grow… and if you can’t keep up with the growth, you’re left behind.

Not just in business, but in life.

I feel 10 years older by way of wisdom and ability to handle more s#it, and I’m certain you do too.

The challenges we’ve faced this year are unlike anything the world has experienced before.

Our emotional resilience gets tested every day.

And if you can get through this time, it will set you up for future success.

But make no mistake about it… this doesn’t end with 2020.

And one of the things I shared with the entrepreneurs at the Empire Mastermind was that this is a marathon and not a sprint.

It will go into 2021 and expect it and don’t let your guard down thinking that this all ends in 2020.

The next lesson will help you not have your knees buckles when you get punched in the face with challenges.

2. You Need To Workout Your “Adversity Muscles”

Too many people skipped out on training their “Adversity Muscles,” and it’s why so many entrepreneurs have closed down shop.

Your “Adversity Muscles” are like the muscles you build at the gym.

Now here’s the thing about “Adversity Muscles” you can’t see them, but they’re there and if you’ve let yourself stay soft then you probably felt the COVID chaos in your business and in your life a LOT more.

So train your adversity muscles.

The only way to build your “Adversity Muscles” is to do hard things until you get used to like them.

Wake up early. Workout. Eat healthily. Go register for a marathon, train for it, and run it.

Doing hard things trains your “Adversity Muscles” and makes you mentally and emotionally tough when the sh!t hits the fan.

And remember this, it’s never too late to train them.

If you’re a man and you want to level up in this area very quickly then come join us for the next Project Class – it WILL change your life and business!

Now let’s move on to the next big lesson.

This lesson had everyone taking notes like crazy.

So pay close attention.

3. Dominate The Leadership Space

You can’t build an empire dominating the Real Estate, Fitness, or any industry without being a strong leader.

The only way to build an empire is to dominate leadership first.

It’s how I’m able to run and grow several businesses and not feel an ounce of burnout.

Let me explain how.

I’ve put leaders in place to lead my companies. They lead the teams. And these leaders report to me.

This allows me to see the bigger picture. It removes me from the business, so I can focus on the big needle movers.

This is what you need to do if you want to build an empire:

• Become an effective leader. (I teach you how in this book)
• Find a leader.
• Create a company.
• And have the leader you found run it.

With this formula, I’m able to grow and scale my multiple companies quickly.

Building an empire is easy if you have the right leadership. Your only limitation is your leadership and your ability to develop or find new leaders.

Use these 3 empire-building lessons to dominate in business and in life.

If you use these 3 lessons, it can help you have freedom only a select few can experience.

Generational wealth.

And impact.

Bedros

PS. The Empire Mastermind is full for the next 12 months. However, I’m looking for two more private coaching clients who want to work one on one with me so I can help you scale your business even faster, with higher profits like I’ve done with these entrepreneurs in my Domination Year Mentorship Program.

In the Project, we have an evolution called “the dash”.

This evolution involves digging yourself a shallow grave in an undisclosed area by the Chino State Prison at two o’clock in the morning…

…and then getting into a body bag that’s placed in that grave, zipping it closed and listening to me give your eulogy.

Now, the eulogy I give is a brutally honest one that highlights your shortcomings, false starts, and the lies you’ve told yourself and others throughout your life.

After some time of reflection, we unzip the body bags and let you out.

Then we spend the next hour or so journaling what you experienced in the body bag and then we go into a writing session where you write your final eulogy… in other words how you plan to live your life from this day forward.

As you might imagine this is a VERY powerful experience and the men who have gone through it have literally changed and leveled up in all four major areas of life: faith, family, fitness, and finances.

I want to do an exercise with you right now.

If you have a son this might speak to you…

Imagine getting the email below from your son when you’re in your 50’s.

***********

Hey dad, I’m in a bad place right now and need to tell you what’s on my heart…

I see the people I follow on social media as Father Figures instead of you.

They’ve taught me things I wish YOU taught me.

I wish you taught me how to be a man.

I don’t know how to be one.

I’m lost, and I don’t know what to do about it.

I feel so insecure around other men.

I feel like a fraud.

I wish you taught me that I don’t need others’ approval.

I can’t do anything without seeking validation from others.

I base my self-worth on the validation they give me. And it’s not a lot.

I wish you taught me about women.

My dating life is in the gutter.

Because I’m not confident, I’m Mr. Nice Guy.

I’m always a friend, and I don’t know how to get out of the friendzone.

And I don’t know how to treat women properly. I wish you took the time to show me this, or I wouldn’t always feel alone.

I wish you taught me to fight and to defend myself.

If you had, then maybe I wouldn’t have all these passive-aggressive energies where I feel like I’m constantly exploding inside all while trying to maintain cool composure.

I don’t want to get into fights. But I know if I got into one I don’t know how to defend myself or anyone I’m with.

I suppose what I’m really asking for dad is that I wish you taught me how to be confident.

I wish you taught me how important my health is.

I’m embarrassed to take my shirt off. I’m overweight, and I eat out all the time.

I don’t know how to eat healthily.

My relationship with food is horrible. I use it to cope with my emotions.

I’m ashamed of the way I look because of my man boobs and gut.

I know I’m not healthy, but I don’t know what else to do. Sometimes I feel like I do this to punish myself… or really, maybe you.

Dad, I wish you would have taught me these things.

Your Son
