Welcome to the Fitness Money podcast, brought to you by FitnessMoney.Com. In this podcast Logan
Christopher and Tyler Bramlett teach you the step-by-step ways to make more money in your fitness
business. Let’s take it on over to this episode of the Fitness Money podcast.

Tyler: Hey, guys! Tyler and Logan here. This is the Fitness Money Podcast and FitnessMoney.com. Logan,
what’s going on today, brother?

Logan: I’m very excited here. Here’s a big training goal of mine so I’m very excited about that.

Tyler: Yeah, Logan just showed me a really cool video of him nailing an awesome exercise called the
tiger bend. Why don’t you just tell them about that real quick and then we’ll talk about how you set
yourself up for success with this?



Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
Logan: Okay. So the tiger bend, if you’re not familiar with that exercise, which most people won’t be, is
you start in a forearm stand, which is basically a handstand except it’s across the length of the forearms,
and from there you push up into a handstand. It is a lot harder than just a freestanding handstand
pushup. It’s a really cool-looking exercise and I’ve just imagined being able to do it at some point in the
future for a long time and just in my training, I started getting closer and closer so I know I’d have it
soon. I just went out there and got it.

Tyler: Yeah, Logan nailed a goal today and that kind of brings us to the topic that we said we would talk
about, which is Influence and Setting Yourself Up for Success. We always talk about fitness business stuff
but the stuff we’re going to share with you today is going to be able to apply to your training goals, your
nutrition, your body composition, your family life, your finances, pretty much anything because it is all
about surrounding yourself with a positive influence and setting yourself up for success. When you do
that, you will get to where you want to go. Logan, talking about that, what did you do to set yourself up
for success in completing this goal that probably one out of a million people can do?

Logan: Well, one bog principle that you have to realize is that success begets success. The more
successful you are, the easier it is to become successful. There are a few things I could go into as far as
what helped me to achieve this goal. One, I had a written goal in order to do it, a very important thing.
Secondly, I worked towards the goal. That's the disconnect some people have. They may have the
written goal but if you’re not actually taking action in order to achieve it, then you’re not going to get
there unless you just happen to stumble across some things, which occasionally happens, but usually
not.

So I was working towards it, and I wasn’t even really focused on this goal. I just was working on a goal
that helped towards this goal, that had some carryover to it, and then one day, I just started working on
this, seeing as it was something that I could hit in the near future. Based on the feedback of not being
able to do it right away, not immediately, I work on it, tweaked a few things, tried a few things, and
found what worked really well. Eventually by knowing I would be successful in the short term, I was able
to hit it.

Tyler: Did you do anything special to get yourself motivated, Logan? Do you watch videos of people
succeeding in that activity or visualize that activity done over and over again in your head?

Logan: I’ve done that in the past and that definitely does work. For me, the motivation comes from
within to the point where just the idea of achieving the goal is going to be enough for me as motivation.
If I was studying videos of other people, it would be more to see what they’re doing, to see what I could
learn from it rather than just to get that motivation from it. As far as visualizing, I have done that in the
past and it definitely does work. I don’t do that so much now. This is a big topic but I have some very
advanced mental techniques that really set myself up for success in training as well as other areas of life.

Tyler: Yeah. I’m glad you brought something up there that we should talk about. Today, we’re talking
about influence. We’re talking about setting yourself up for success and you mentioned that you’re a
person that is very intrinsically motivated.


Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
Logan: Yeah.

Tyler: Right. So there are two different types of motivation that we should talk about. One is intrinsic
motivation and the other is extrinsic motivation. So intrinsic means you’re motivated by yourself. You
don’t need external things to motivate you. Some people—

Logan: So internal versus external?

Tyler: Exactly. For some people, this is their main modality of motivation. They’re just super-motivated
by themselves whereas other people are very externally motivated. They want to see some sort of
outcome from it coming from the outside in. They want to achieve it because of recognition from other
people or an end goal in sight. “I’m going to go to Hawaii when I lose X amount of pounds” or whatever
it is.

So you’re got to understand this intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation because I happen to be someone
who’s a little bit more extrinsically motivated. I like to see the fruits of my labor coming to me from an
extrinsic platform. The way Logan approaches a goal and the way I approach a goal probably wouldn’t
work out together. If I was going to tell Logan, hey, I’ll pay you $1000 if you get the tiger bend, it’s not
going to be as motivating for him as if he just—maybe it would be—was just focusing on that goal.

The point is somebody, a good client of yours or if you want to make more money or whatever, if you
set yourself up, “I’m going to feel so good when I make that $1000 because I’m going to feel good
internally” versus “I’m going to buy a car when I achieve that X amount of dollars,” those are going to be
two different motivations that play on two different emotions in you.

First of all, acknowledge which kind you are. That way when we set your environment up for success,
you’re going to be playing on those things that you are actually are the most motivated about.

Logan: Yes, I agree with that and I think there's something that’s even more important. First, realize
that while a person is going to be dominantly internally or externally motivated, everyone had some
degree of both. So you were saying that $1000 tiger bend, I probably would have achieved it faster had
that been on the line.

Tyler: Maybe a day or two, right?

Logan: That being said, we do have some training goals where we put some money on the line to be a
further motivator for us both to get them.

Tyler: You know what the problem with those goals are, man?

Logan: What’s that? It’s not enough money.

Tyler: It’s not enough fucking money. That’s the problem. We were putting like twenties and hundreds
down. I was like if I put ten grand on a goal that Logan got if I didn’t get it, that would have scared the
shit out of me. That would have been extrinsic enough for me to work my butt off on my goal


Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
Logan: And that brings me to my next point that an even more important factor in motivation is
towards versus away from. Are you motivated toward or to get to something? Are you motivated to
build a business so that you have a lot more money coming in and you have time and freedom, or are
you motivated to build a business because you hate your job and you don’t want to work there
anymore?

Statistics say that 70% of people are more away from motivated. People will move away from pain a lot
more than they will move towards success. Even if I say 70%, I’d say you’d really want to encompass that
into your motivation and it’s going to make whatever you’re trying to do a lot stronger.

Tyler: Yeah, that’s a fantastic way to accelerate your overall results. We kind of went on a side track
there off of motivation because of the whole tiger bend thing. Let’s talk about influence and then we’ll
talk about some of the ways you and I maybe set ourselves up for success in our days. Logan, how
important do you think influence is on someone’s overall success?

Logan: Very much so.

Tyler: Come on, bounce off of that for a second. Tell me what you think.

Logan: What do you mean specifically by influence? The people around you, how they influence you?

Tyler: Yeah, let’s start with one topic at a time. We might as well start with people because I know how
important that is and you know how important that it. What do you think about the people your
surround yourself with?

Logan: Well, that saying, from what I’ve seen, is true that for instance your net worth is going to be
about an average of the seven people you spend the most amount of time with. Whatever the average
of their net worth is, you’re going to fit in right there. Basically, everything in your life is going to be the
average of the people that you spend the most amount of time with.

That being said, that shows right there just whoever you spend your time with has a huge impact on
your life and it carries over into every area of your life. If you want to become more successful, start
hanging around more successful people, whatever range of success you’re looking for specifically.

Tyler: Absolutely. You know something that’s real interesting that I’ve noticed, too, is that you have to
realize whether you’re the cream or you’re the milk. The reason why I say this is because if you’re the
cream, whatever group you’re in, you’re always going to rise to the top. Then the next step for you is to
put yourself out of your comfort zone and take the next step into that next group upward. If you’re the
milk, you might want to get into a group where you are way below them because you’re whole goal is
just to get to the bottom of that group. Then you might accentuate that group up.

That’s just something I’ve really noticed in myself and in other people. Whether or not you’re going to
be the leader of the group or the follower of the group, it doesn’t really matter. It’s important to
acknowledge that so you know where your goal is but the most important thing you could do is take



Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
that information and then throw yourself into a group of people or into a set of influence that allows
you to bring yourself up to the level that you know you consistently will bring yourself up to.

Because even if you’re somebody who’s the cream, if all you ever do is hang out with just dumb shits,
you’re going to rise to the top of the dumb shits, as much as you want to be the king of the dumb shit
pile, it’s not going to be really that beneficial for you. You’re going to want to step outside of that
comfort zone and go to the next group. If you’re the milk, you want to really, really look for those people
that are going to push you, that are going to really take you outside of your comfort zone, that are going
to bring you from way down below them to one of the people who are right underneath them.

I think that’s an important concept to think about with influence but I will completely agree with Logan
in saying that you have to step outside of your comfort zone. Both Logan and I have had to painfully
ditch some friends or have had to put up some walls, basically like a mental wall that says when I hang
out with this person, I’m going to enjoy my time with them based on a relationship we had and I will not
let them influence me in terms of my money, my beliefs, so on and so forth, while I hang out with them.

You have to think about the people you’re surrounding yourself with. Find out how much they’re
making. Find out what they’re doing in their lives, if they’re succeeding with all their stuff. If they’re not,
you have to do one of two things: One, limit your time and be very wise about the things they say
around you that you let into your mind or two, just kind of slowly shift them out of your life. As painful
as that may be, it’s what a lot of successful people eventually end up having to do.

Logan: The truth is if you just start to become more successful, even without trying, those people seem
to drift away.

Tyler: It’s true.

Logan: I’ve noticed that over and over again. What you want to do, because you don’t want to just
become anti-social because all your old friends used to suck, you want to find some new people to
spend time with. Sometimes, some of those people may come up with you, though I’d say that’s a rare
thing, but even if you don’t find people locally, you can only get this sort of influence at a more
extended range by joining things like coaching groups, Masterminds, getting a coach for yourself, just
getting around those people. The more you can spend time with them, the more you will be influenced
by them, and the more it’s going to help to bring you up, especially if they are coaching you I specific
stuff that you need to do in order to achieve whatever success you’re looking for in life.

Tyler: Absolutely, man. I completely agree. I think that joining a group, a Mastermind group, was
probably the biggest thing I’ve ever done in terms of my overall success because I’m the cream, I’m used
to always rising to the top. What I did as I joined a group that cost a lot of money to join into and I was
the fucking bottom of the milk, I was like the pus sitting at the bottom of the cup, just the nasty shit, and
I’m working my way up through the ladders right now. I’m going to work my butt off until I get to the
top of that group. Then I’m going to move on to the next one. The top of this group is pretty freaking
huge already so I’m not too worried about it. But I just want to keep going up that ladder as much as I
can.

So you guys, a coaching program or even a good meet up, a good marketing meet up because you’re got
to realize in the Fitness Money Podcast, we’re talking about business principle and life success
principles. We’re not talking about how to train someone how to do a dumbbell push press better. You
have to think in terms of that, not in terms of specifically just fitness.

Logan: Yeah. Another way you can get influenced is through things like books, videos, audios. For me,
back when I worked a day job at a grocery store, I had the privilege, and I think this was actually a big
part of what really set me up for success later in life, was I would listen to CDs. I don’t think even MP3
players were even out at that time early on.

Tyler: Don’t tape yourself.

Logan: I think they were at some point but through most of my shift, I was able to work with my
headphones on and I would listen to things like Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, I had some programs by them, the
audio version of Think and Grow Rich. I can’t tell you how many times I listened to those different
programs.

 I also listened to music once in a while because I enjoyed it but I really saturated myself with all that
stuff because I wasn’t getting that success from anywhere in my life at that time. I wasn’t even an adult
at the time I was doing this. I wasn’t getting that anywhere else. I had to find that elsewhere and you
can still find it. That will really build your beliefs. That will set up your mind for that success that you
want, just by really going into that saturation mode, getting it over and over again from some of the
great figures and all their products, books, and everything that’s out there.

Tyler: Yeah. You know, Logan, I’m super glad you mentioned that. I was going to save that till later as
like my biggest tip and turning point. Some of you guys might have known that before I was as
successful in the fitness industry, I was a construction worker. I was slapping nails and doing all the
laboring work that you might have done if you guys have done the same thing as me, which is just tough
ass work for not a very good wage.

The biggest blessing that ever happened to me was getting laid off. I remember coming home and
looking at my wife and just being like, how the fuck are we going to do this? I got laid off and I’m kind of
crumpling and even tearing up and all. I’ll admit it. I cried. All right. I’ll admit it. I cried. I was like, what
the fuck am I going to do with my life?

So I just said, screw this! I’m a hard ass worker. I’m going to find a way. So I started taking on my own
kind of handyman jobs. I hooked up with some people who need a lot of different work and they started
referring me to their friends. Before you knew it, I’m like a successful handyman and I was actually
making twice as much as a handyman as I was doing construction for somebody else.

The whole time, though, I’m sitting there thinking to myself, God, this can’t be it. This is ridiculous. So I
started listening to books on tape. I had been listening to books on tape for years but more so than ever
before. There was a guy who was pretty sharp who told me to listen to this stuff at two or three times
the speed. He’s the guy on the other side of this phone call right now.


Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
Anyways, I started listening to this stuff like Logan does, at two to three times the speed, and just like
him I went through it probably over a hundred. Like if I open my iPhone right now—let me see—I have
some nutrition books, some other stuff but I really enjoy the success and everything. I have 62 books on
motivation and business success on my iPhone right now, every single one of which I’ve listened to for a
minimum a two times and several that I’ve listened to more than a dozen times on there.

We’re talking about influence and influence has to do with the amount of time you spend saturating
your mind with information. If you’re sitting there all day with a bunch of worthless people but you have
some Jim Rohn in your ears, some Zig Ziglar in your ears, you have somebody really powerful in your
ears frequently and more often than them, guess what? That audio book is going to influence you way
more than the people you surround yourself with.

To me, the people I was into, I was like, hey, I’m coming home from work and although I was in
construction, I hung out with T. Harv Eker all day long or I hung out with Bob Proctor all day long, or Tim
Ferriss, anyone of those people. So those people because my influence even thought at the time I
couldn’t fucking afford a Mastermind group or it would have been really hard for me to go to even one
of their seminars.

If you guys have $20, put it to use and start it with Think and Grow Rich, like a classic. From there, go to
The 4-Hour Work Week. That’s another one of my favorite books of all time. Bob Proctor, It’s Not About
the Money, those are books that really influenced me, that made me think and go, holy crap! If I could
use my mind, I will become more successful than everybody else around me.

You know one of the biggest things I remember from, I think, one of Bob Proctor’s books was somebody
was asking one of his mentors, “What do you think is the biggest reason why people aren’t succeeding
these days?” He said, “People simply don’t think.” So you guys have got to get outside of your box.
You’ve got to think and influencing yourself with audio books is my number one recommendation got
anybody.

So if you get off this call and you don’t go buy one audio book and start listening to it right away, you
might as well just fucking not listen to the Fitness Money podcast ever again, because you’re not going
to take the steps you need to succeed. But if you’re somebody who takes action, leaves us a review, and
then buys a book, then goes and listens to it over and over again, then you absolutely need to keep
going forward, buying more books and influencing yourself that way.

It’s so powerful. You’ll start talking like those people even when you’re not conversing with everybody
else around you like that. Then you’re going to start to see, like what Logan talks about, is that people
that aren’t going to help you go up are going to become more distant and people that are going to help
you come up become more friendly. That’s a powerful tip, Logan.

Logan: Yeah. Something that not a lot of people know about me before I started selling that first hand
balancing book online, I was involved in a network marketing company and I failed miserably at that but
that was one of the best things that happened to me because that was what really set me upon the path



Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
of reading all these books. I was reading some before and listening to all this stuff. That really helped to
build the foundation.

Then when I saw this opportunity come later to me because with the internet, living in a first world
country, there are so many opportunities out there, you just can’t see them if your mind is not set up in
order to see the opportunities. On some level, it seems to take a saturation of the success message to
really push out that old crap that most of us have because we weren’t brought up around other
successful people.

There’s a reason that poor people usually end up with poor people as their children, unless that poor
person is really away from motivated and hates all that stuff living poor and that they use as a driver for
their success by getting around and surrounded by this positive influence. Rich people, if they don’t just
give all their money to their children and never teach them anything, those people always see there’s a
lot of money and money is easy to come by so they’re always going to continue to have it because they
also build the skills along with the mindset and take action on it.

Tyler: Yeah. So we talked about the audio books. We talked about choosing your friends wisely. Why
don’t we talk about reading a little bit, because I really think that this is a powerful topic right now? I’ll
start by saying one simple thing. I’ve heard this from tons of success gurus out there and that is readers
are leaders. So you guys absolutely have to read. It’s just one of the most important things you can do.

If you’re not really a huge reader and you can get a lot out of audio books, then I completely would
consider those things one and the same. If you’re somebody how takes information much better
through audio, that’s totally fine. The point is you have to study a subject. I think it was Zig Ziglar who
talked about, I don’t know if it was a study or not, but he talked about if you spend five years listening
on one topic in your automobile as you drive to and from work, it’s often times the equivalent of a
college education on that topic, in your spare time. Even if business and marketing isn’t at the front of
your mind, say you want to learn about nutrition then you can learn about nutrition just in thirty
minutes a day to and from work as you’re preparing yourself to make that transition from some cubicle
bullshit job to maybe becoming a trainer or an online coach.

Reading is so crucial. If you guys aren’t willing to invest in your education via simple things like books,
then you’ll never be willing to invest in your education when it really counts. That’s when you’re going
to be seeing those gigantic gains in your businesses, when you invest when it really, really counts. Logan,
what do you think about reading?

Logan: Reading is excellent. You brought up one point I want to address, the different learning styles
that people have. Some people are visual. Some people are auditory. Some people are kinesthetic, and
there’s also digital. I don’t want to get into too many details but realize that one or more of these things
may be best for you. If reading works really well for you, read more. If listening to audios works really
well for you, do that. If watching videos works, do that. If you need to get hands on experience or be led
through, then go and do workshops, do whatever where you can get that.




Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
Truthfully, in all those you’re going to be able to pick up stuff so I would encourage you to do all of
those. I do listen to audios even though audio is not my best form of processing information, really
kinesthetic is but books work, too. They hit your brain in a different way and really to reach that
saturation, you do want to be hitting it in all different ways.

As far as reading is concerned, one skill well worth learning and well worth having is speed reading. Take
a basic course on it. There are books on speed reading. Go and do that. Then you’ll be able to process
faster. It’s the same as listening to audios at double speed. You’re able to process the information faster
and actually end up having better comprehension if you do it right. You’re able to retain it more. You’re
able to take action.

Tyler: That’s good. So ready your asses off. Well, Logan, we only got a little bit of time left that we’re
going to probably spend on this call so why don’t we bounce back and forth and just give everybody kind
of our useful tips for setting yourself up for success, things that you do in your work environment, things
that people can do throughout their day to basically set themselves up for success?

Logan: Right. Well, I think we talked a lot about this in our last call on getting shit done. It’s really find
out what works for you and what allows you to be the most productive. That’s going to be a big thing,
setting up your environment in order for you to have great ability to be productive and have the great
work flow.

I’ll just give a couple of ideas here. I have whiteboards in my office here where I’m able to write things,
to keep track of different goals and stats that I have going on. I’m also able to outline, to mind map
different projects, and all that. I have two monitors for my computer because I spend a lot of time on
the computer. By having two windows open, that may save seconds at a time when I’m doing different
actions. You’re talking about the whole doggie bag thing last time but this compounded over and over is
huge. I’m actually thinking about getting a third monitor just so it can be even better. So set up your
environment so that you can be successful.

I don’t do this so much now, I guess because I don’t need it as much but in the past, I would put up
success quotes and have different things like that all around my office. I still have success things like my
whole library here and everything so I still have that ambient feel but that was a huge thing for really
saturating the mind once again.

Tyler: Yeah, absolutely. I can bounce some stuff off of that, too. We did talk a lot about this in the last
podcast if you guys didn’t listen to the Getting Shit Done podcast.

Logan: That was a good one.

Tyler: Yeah, that was a good one. There’s a lot of gold in them hills. Some of the things I think you guys
need to do is you always need to know what it is that you should be working on. If you come in to your
office each day and you say, “Well, I’m just going to fucking wing it,” you may get stuff done but you’re
probably going to be half as productive. You’re not going to set yourself up for success which was what
we’ve been talking about.


Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
Like I told you guys last week, I have two lists almost always going. One is the shit I want to get done
over the next week. Actually, when I write that document on my computer, I’m going to have every
single week for the next twelve weeks after that. If I don’t get stuff done, I can file it away. If I have
ideas, I can file it away in one of those weeks, including promotions for other people and things like that.
That was I always kind of have a good idea of kind of what I’m doing in the future as well.

So always know what you’re going to do next. It doesn’t have to be as strict as “I’m going to do this first
then this second.” It probably should be for maximum results but it doesn’t have to be. Just know what it
is that you’re going to do so you can keep yourself successful all day long. That includes your audio
books or your audio programs.

One of the things that I do is I always make sure I have one to three different things in my roster. If I’m
going to be really into nutrition or something like that, I’m going to have maybe a few different podcasts
I know I want to listen to, maybe a book I want to listen to, a bunch of different stuff that I know I’m
going to listen to that week and that particular day so that I never waste any time trying to figure out
what the heck it is I’m going to listen to this time around.

Or a book on success. I always have at least one book of success on my iPhone and I’m usually just kind
of listening to it and seeing if I jell with it. If I do, I’ll listen to it two, three, four, five, six, or seven times,
until it really hammers into my skull. If I don’t, don’t be afraid to ditch a book that you don’t feel like is
really giving you a lot of information. So I might just ditch a book if I feel like it’s repeat information or to
be honest with audio books, sometimes the narrators just suck and it’s boring. I’m like, oh barf! So I’ll
get rid of those.

So to me, one of the most important things you can do so you can set yourself up for success is to
always know what you’re doing next.

Logan: Speaking of studying and throwing away books, one good thing about speed reading is you can
then adapt your speed based on what you’re reading. If it’s really light and easy material, you can just
blaze through that and find those sections that might be very useful to you. There might just be one
thing out of a book but that one thing for you could be huge. But sometimes, you do just need to throw
away a book. There are so many people who, if they start a book, are going to finish of it and I was guilty
of that in the past and definitely getting away from doing that. So adapt your speed.

Also with book and all this information we’re talking about saturation yourself with, realize that unused
knowledge is a sin. I believe that comes from Edgar Cayce. If you’ve just learned or are just studying, all
of this just goes into your brain but you never apply any of it, you’re wasting your time with all that. Yes,
you do need to build that foundation and saturate yourself in order to really get there. I believe that is a
huge thing but you need to, at some point, apply that information. Without taking action on it, you are
wasting your time.

Tyler: That's great. So I got another great idea. Here’s how we can finish this up, Logan. I got a great
idea for an exercise that will highlight exactly what you just said. If you guys are on the call right now,



Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
you need to do this exercise. I’m going to make it super simple. I was thinking about how I could make
this more complex and I was like, fuck that. Let’s make it as simple as hell.

This is the Fitness Money Podcast. We’re trying to teach you how to make money or more money in the
fitness industry. Here’s what you’re going to do right now. Pull out a pen and a piece of paper. I want
you to write down your number on fitness money goal. If you’re trying to make money online, then
write down how much it is. If you haven’t made a damn dollar online, do not right $10,000. Write $1
online. If you guys are making $10,000 then write something appropriate for you. Write your number
one fitness money goal down right now.

Underneath it, I want you to draw a big line and I want you guys to list the reasons why you want to
achieve this. You can say three reasons up to five or ten reasons. Make sure they’re the most powerful
reasons why. I don’t care what they are.

Logan: Incorporate both towards and away from. What does it mean for you to succeed with this goal?
What does it mean if you were to fail, should you fail in achieving this goal?

Tyler: Absolutely. Now take that piece of paper and either carry it on you at all times or put it in front of
your computer where you’re working at in the day time. I want you guys to make a goal of reading that
paper three times a day. Set it in your iPhone: read that piece of paper three times a day.

For me, I want to make $10,000 net income online with my online fitness business so I would list the
reasons why that is so important to me and why if I fail, that that’s going to damage me. I’m going to
read that over and over again and then take action towards that goal. We’ll go into talking action or
setting up a plan maybe next week. We can come up with something like that next week but right now,
do that one exercise. That way you guys know that you didn’t waste the last half hour just hearing some
information but you actually took that information and you applied it right now to benefit your life

Logan: When you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed at night, the first and last thing on
your mind is your goal. What do you think that’s going to do in increasing your chances to hit it?

Tyler: Done. It’s done. Cool, you guys. If you guys dig this one, leave us your review on iTunes. We really
appreciate you guys doing that. Like us on Facebook, Facebook.com/FitnessMoneyPodcast. Go to the
website FitnessMoney.com and listen to some of our episodes. We’re going to blow this thing up. Right
now, Logan and I are just literally getting warmed up so this thing is going to be huge this year, if you
guys dig being a part of a community, send us some emails with your questions and we just really
appreciate you guys listening.

Logan: Yeah. One other thing to be sure to do because we’re going to start sending out emails from the
website, be sure to go to FitnessMoney.com and sign up on the email list. We’re going to have some
cool stuff that you’re only going to be able to get if you sign up on that list. So be sure to do that, as well.

Fitness Money Episode 15 - Setting Yourself Up for Success

  • 1. Fitness Money Podcast Episode 15 Setting Yourself Up with Success Get this podcast on iTunes at: http://fitnessmoney.com/go/podcast/ Welcome to the Fitness Money podcast, brought to you by FitnessMoney.Com. In this podcast Logan Christopher and Tyler Bramlett teach you the step-by-step ways to make more money in your fitness business. Let’s take it on over to this episode of the Fitness Money podcast. Tyler: Hey, guys! Tyler and Logan here. This is the Fitness Money Podcast and FitnessMoney.com. Logan, what’s going on today, brother? Logan: I’m very excited here. Here’s a big training goal of mine so I’m very excited about that. Tyler: Yeah, Logan just showed me a really cool video of him nailing an awesome exercise called the tiger bend. Why don’t you just tell them about that real quick and then we’ll talk about how you set yourself up for success with this? Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
  • 2. Logan: Okay. So the tiger bend, if you’re not familiar with that exercise, which most people won’t be, is you start in a forearm stand, which is basically a handstand except it’s across the length of the forearms, and from there you push up into a handstand. It is a lot harder than just a freestanding handstand pushup. It’s a really cool-looking exercise and I’ve just imagined being able to do it at some point in the future for a long time and just in my training, I started getting closer and closer so I know I’d have it soon. I just went out there and got it. Tyler: Yeah, Logan nailed a goal today and that kind of brings us to the topic that we said we would talk about, which is Influence and Setting Yourself Up for Success. We always talk about fitness business stuff but the stuff we’re going to share with you today is going to be able to apply to your training goals, your nutrition, your body composition, your family life, your finances, pretty much anything because it is all about surrounding yourself with a positive influence and setting yourself up for success. When you do that, you will get to where you want to go. Logan, talking about that, what did you do to set yourself up for success in completing this goal that probably one out of a million people can do? Logan: Well, one bog principle that you have to realize is that success begets success. The more successful you are, the easier it is to become successful. There are a few things I could go into as far as what helped me to achieve this goal. One, I had a written goal in order to do it, a very important thing. Secondly, I worked towards the goal. That's the disconnect some people have. They may have the written goal but if you’re not actually taking action in order to achieve it, then you’re not going to get there unless you just happen to stumble across some things, which occasionally happens, but usually not. So I was working towards it, and I wasn’t even really focused on this goal. I just was working on a goal that helped towards this goal, that had some carryover to it, and then one day, I just started working on this, seeing as it was something that I could hit in the near future. Based on the feedback of not being able to do it right away, not immediately, I work on it, tweaked a few things, tried a few things, and found what worked really well. Eventually by knowing I would be successful in the short term, I was able to hit it. Tyler: Did you do anything special to get yourself motivated, Logan? Do you watch videos of people succeeding in that activity or visualize that activity done over and over again in your head? Logan: I’ve done that in the past and that definitely does work. For me, the motivation comes from within to the point where just the idea of achieving the goal is going to be enough for me as motivation. If I was studying videos of other people, it would be more to see what they’re doing, to see what I could learn from it rather than just to get that motivation from it. As far as visualizing, I have done that in the past and it definitely does work. I don’t do that so much now. This is a big topic but I have some very advanced mental techniques that really set myself up for success in training as well as other areas of life. Tyler: Yeah. I’m glad you brought something up there that we should talk about. Today, we’re talking about influence. We’re talking about setting yourself up for success and you mentioned that you’re a person that is very intrinsically motivated. Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
  • 3. Logan: Yeah. Tyler: Right. So there are two different types of motivation that we should talk about. One is intrinsic motivation and the other is extrinsic motivation. So intrinsic means you’re motivated by yourself. You don’t need external things to motivate you. Some people— Logan: So internal versus external? Tyler: Exactly. For some people, this is their main modality of motivation. They’re just super-motivated by themselves whereas other people are very externally motivated. They want to see some sort of outcome from it coming from the outside in. They want to achieve it because of recognition from other people or an end goal in sight. “I’m going to go to Hawaii when I lose X amount of pounds” or whatever it is. So you’re got to understand this intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation because I happen to be someone who’s a little bit more extrinsically motivated. I like to see the fruits of my labor coming to me from an extrinsic platform. The way Logan approaches a goal and the way I approach a goal probably wouldn’t work out together. If I was going to tell Logan, hey, I’ll pay you $1000 if you get the tiger bend, it’s not going to be as motivating for him as if he just—maybe it would be—was just focusing on that goal. The point is somebody, a good client of yours or if you want to make more money or whatever, if you set yourself up, “I’m going to feel so good when I make that $1000 because I’m going to feel good internally” versus “I’m going to buy a car when I achieve that X amount of dollars,” those are going to be two different motivations that play on two different emotions in you. First of all, acknowledge which kind you are. That way when we set your environment up for success, you’re going to be playing on those things that you are actually are the most motivated about. Logan: Yes, I agree with that and I think there's something that’s even more important. First, realize that while a person is going to be dominantly internally or externally motivated, everyone had some degree of both. So you were saying that $1000 tiger bend, I probably would have achieved it faster had that been on the line. Tyler: Maybe a day or two, right? Logan: That being said, we do have some training goals where we put some money on the line to be a further motivator for us both to get them. Tyler: You know what the problem with those goals are, man? Logan: What’s that? It’s not enough money. Tyler: It’s not enough fucking money. That’s the problem. We were putting like twenties and hundreds down. I was like if I put ten grand on a goal that Logan got if I didn’t get it, that would have scared the shit out of me. That would have been extrinsic enough for me to work my butt off on my goal Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
  • 4. Logan: And that brings me to my next point that an even more important factor in motivation is towards versus away from. Are you motivated toward or to get to something? Are you motivated to build a business so that you have a lot more money coming in and you have time and freedom, or are you motivated to build a business because you hate your job and you don’t want to work there anymore? Statistics say that 70% of people are more away from motivated. People will move away from pain a lot more than they will move towards success. Even if I say 70%, I’d say you’d really want to encompass that into your motivation and it’s going to make whatever you’re trying to do a lot stronger. Tyler: Yeah, that’s a fantastic way to accelerate your overall results. We kind of went on a side track there off of motivation because of the whole tiger bend thing. Let’s talk about influence and then we’ll talk about some of the ways you and I maybe set ourselves up for success in our days. Logan, how important do you think influence is on someone’s overall success? Logan: Very much so. Tyler: Come on, bounce off of that for a second. Tell me what you think. Logan: What do you mean specifically by influence? The people around you, how they influence you? Tyler: Yeah, let’s start with one topic at a time. We might as well start with people because I know how important that is and you know how important that it. What do you think about the people your surround yourself with? Logan: Well, that saying, from what I’ve seen, is true that for instance your net worth is going to be about an average of the seven people you spend the most amount of time with. Whatever the average of their net worth is, you’re going to fit in right there. Basically, everything in your life is going to be the average of the people that you spend the most amount of time with. That being said, that shows right there just whoever you spend your time with has a huge impact on your life and it carries over into every area of your life. If you want to become more successful, start hanging around more successful people, whatever range of success you’re looking for specifically. Tyler: Absolutely. You know something that’s real interesting that I’ve noticed, too, is that you have to realize whether you’re the cream or you’re the milk. The reason why I say this is because if you’re the cream, whatever group you’re in, you’re always going to rise to the top. Then the next step for you is to put yourself out of your comfort zone and take the next step into that next group upward. If you’re the milk, you might want to get into a group where you are way below them because you’re whole goal is just to get to the bottom of that group. Then you might accentuate that group up. That’s just something I’ve really noticed in myself and in other people. Whether or not you’re going to be the leader of the group or the follower of the group, it doesn’t really matter. It’s important to acknowledge that so you know where your goal is but the most important thing you could do is take Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
  • 5. that information and then throw yourself into a group of people or into a set of influence that allows you to bring yourself up to the level that you know you consistently will bring yourself up to. Because even if you’re somebody who’s the cream, if all you ever do is hang out with just dumb shits, you’re going to rise to the top of the dumb shits, as much as you want to be the king of the dumb shit pile, it’s not going to be really that beneficial for you. You’re going to want to step outside of that comfort zone and go to the next group. If you’re the milk, you want to really, really look for those people that are going to push you, that are going to really take you outside of your comfort zone, that are going to bring you from way down below them to one of the people who are right underneath them. I think that’s an important concept to think about with influence but I will completely agree with Logan in saying that you have to step outside of your comfort zone. Both Logan and I have had to painfully ditch some friends or have had to put up some walls, basically like a mental wall that says when I hang out with this person, I’m going to enjoy my time with them based on a relationship we had and I will not let them influence me in terms of my money, my beliefs, so on and so forth, while I hang out with them. You have to think about the people you’re surrounding yourself with. Find out how much they’re making. Find out what they’re doing in their lives, if they’re succeeding with all their stuff. If they’re not, you have to do one of two things: One, limit your time and be very wise about the things they say around you that you let into your mind or two, just kind of slowly shift them out of your life. As painful as that may be, it’s what a lot of successful people eventually end up having to do. Logan: The truth is if you just start to become more successful, even without trying, those people seem to drift away. Tyler: It’s true. Logan: I’ve noticed that over and over again. What you want to do, because you don’t want to just become anti-social because all your old friends used to suck, you want to find some new people to spend time with. Sometimes, some of those people may come up with you, though I’d say that’s a rare thing, but even if you don’t find people locally, you can only get this sort of influence at a more extended range by joining things like coaching groups, Masterminds, getting a coach for yourself, just getting around those people. The more you can spend time with them, the more you will be influenced by them, and the more it’s going to help to bring you up, especially if they are coaching you I specific stuff that you need to do in order to achieve whatever success you’re looking for in life. Tyler: Absolutely, man. I completely agree. I think that joining a group, a Mastermind group, was probably the biggest thing I’ve ever done in terms of my overall success because I’m the cream, I’m used to always rising to the top. What I did as I joined a group that cost a lot of money to join into and I was the fucking bottom of the milk, I was like the pus sitting at the bottom of the cup, just the nasty shit, and I’m working my way up through the ladders right now. I’m going to work my butt off until I get to the top of that group. Then I’m going to move on to the next one. The top of this group is pretty freaking huge already so I’m not too worried about it. But I just want to keep going up that ladder as much as I can. Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
  • 6. So you guys, a coaching program or even a good meet up, a good marketing meet up because you’re got to realize in the Fitness Money Podcast, we’re talking about business principle and life success principles. We’re not talking about how to train someone how to do a dumbbell push press better. You have to think in terms of that, not in terms of specifically just fitness. Logan: Yeah. Another way you can get influenced is through things like books, videos, audios. For me, back when I worked a day job at a grocery store, I had the privilege, and I think this was actually a big part of what really set me up for success later in life, was I would listen to CDs. I don’t think even MP3 players were even out at that time early on. Tyler: Don’t tape yourself. Logan: I think they were at some point but through most of my shift, I was able to work with my headphones on and I would listen to things like Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, I had some programs by them, the audio version of Think and Grow Rich. I can’t tell you how many times I listened to those different programs. I also listened to music once in a while because I enjoyed it but I really saturated myself with all that stuff because I wasn’t getting that success from anywhere in my life at that time. I wasn’t even an adult at the time I was doing this. I wasn’t getting that anywhere else. I had to find that elsewhere and you can still find it. That will really build your beliefs. That will set up your mind for that success that you want, just by really going into that saturation mode, getting it over and over again from some of the great figures and all their products, books, and everything that’s out there. Tyler: Yeah. You know, Logan, I’m super glad you mentioned that. I was going to save that till later as like my biggest tip and turning point. Some of you guys might have known that before I was as successful in the fitness industry, I was a construction worker. I was slapping nails and doing all the laboring work that you might have done if you guys have done the same thing as me, which is just tough ass work for not a very good wage. The biggest blessing that ever happened to me was getting laid off. I remember coming home and looking at my wife and just being like, how the fuck are we going to do this? I got laid off and I’m kind of crumpling and even tearing up and all. I’ll admit it. I cried. All right. I’ll admit it. I cried. I was like, what the fuck am I going to do with my life? So I just said, screw this! I’m a hard ass worker. I’m going to find a way. So I started taking on my own kind of handyman jobs. I hooked up with some people who need a lot of different work and they started referring me to their friends. Before you knew it, I’m like a successful handyman and I was actually making twice as much as a handyman as I was doing construction for somebody else. The whole time, though, I’m sitting there thinking to myself, God, this can’t be it. This is ridiculous. So I started listening to books on tape. I had been listening to books on tape for years but more so than ever before. There was a guy who was pretty sharp who told me to listen to this stuff at two or three times the speed. He’s the guy on the other side of this phone call right now. Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
  • 7. Anyways, I started listening to this stuff like Logan does, at two to three times the speed, and just like him I went through it probably over a hundred. Like if I open my iPhone right now—let me see—I have some nutrition books, some other stuff but I really enjoy the success and everything. I have 62 books on motivation and business success on my iPhone right now, every single one of which I’ve listened to for a minimum a two times and several that I’ve listened to more than a dozen times on there. We’re talking about influence and influence has to do with the amount of time you spend saturating your mind with information. If you’re sitting there all day with a bunch of worthless people but you have some Jim Rohn in your ears, some Zig Ziglar in your ears, you have somebody really powerful in your ears frequently and more often than them, guess what? That audio book is going to influence you way more than the people you surround yourself with. To me, the people I was into, I was like, hey, I’m coming home from work and although I was in construction, I hung out with T. Harv Eker all day long or I hung out with Bob Proctor all day long, or Tim Ferriss, anyone of those people. So those people because my influence even thought at the time I couldn’t fucking afford a Mastermind group or it would have been really hard for me to go to even one of their seminars. If you guys have $20, put it to use and start it with Think and Grow Rich, like a classic. From there, go to The 4-Hour Work Week. That’s another one of my favorite books of all time. Bob Proctor, It’s Not About the Money, those are books that really influenced me, that made me think and go, holy crap! If I could use my mind, I will become more successful than everybody else around me. You know one of the biggest things I remember from, I think, one of Bob Proctor’s books was somebody was asking one of his mentors, “What do you think is the biggest reason why people aren’t succeeding these days?” He said, “People simply don’t think.” So you guys have got to get outside of your box. You’ve got to think and influencing yourself with audio books is my number one recommendation got anybody. So if you get off this call and you don’t go buy one audio book and start listening to it right away, you might as well just fucking not listen to the Fitness Money podcast ever again, because you’re not going to take the steps you need to succeed. But if you’re somebody who takes action, leaves us a review, and then buys a book, then goes and listens to it over and over again, then you absolutely need to keep going forward, buying more books and influencing yourself that way. It’s so powerful. You’ll start talking like those people even when you’re not conversing with everybody else around you like that. Then you’re going to start to see, like what Logan talks about, is that people that aren’t going to help you go up are going to become more distant and people that are going to help you come up become more friendly. That’s a powerful tip, Logan. Logan: Yeah. Something that not a lot of people know about me before I started selling that first hand balancing book online, I was involved in a network marketing company and I failed miserably at that but that was one of the best things that happened to me because that was what really set me upon the path Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
  • 8. of reading all these books. I was reading some before and listening to all this stuff. That really helped to build the foundation. Then when I saw this opportunity come later to me because with the internet, living in a first world country, there are so many opportunities out there, you just can’t see them if your mind is not set up in order to see the opportunities. On some level, it seems to take a saturation of the success message to really push out that old crap that most of us have because we weren’t brought up around other successful people. There’s a reason that poor people usually end up with poor people as their children, unless that poor person is really away from motivated and hates all that stuff living poor and that they use as a driver for their success by getting around and surrounded by this positive influence. Rich people, if they don’t just give all their money to their children and never teach them anything, those people always see there’s a lot of money and money is easy to come by so they’re always going to continue to have it because they also build the skills along with the mindset and take action on it. Tyler: Yeah. So we talked about the audio books. We talked about choosing your friends wisely. Why don’t we talk about reading a little bit, because I really think that this is a powerful topic right now? I’ll start by saying one simple thing. I’ve heard this from tons of success gurus out there and that is readers are leaders. So you guys absolutely have to read. It’s just one of the most important things you can do. If you’re not really a huge reader and you can get a lot out of audio books, then I completely would consider those things one and the same. If you’re somebody how takes information much better through audio, that’s totally fine. The point is you have to study a subject. I think it was Zig Ziglar who talked about, I don’t know if it was a study or not, but he talked about if you spend five years listening on one topic in your automobile as you drive to and from work, it’s often times the equivalent of a college education on that topic, in your spare time. Even if business and marketing isn’t at the front of your mind, say you want to learn about nutrition then you can learn about nutrition just in thirty minutes a day to and from work as you’re preparing yourself to make that transition from some cubicle bullshit job to maybe becoming a trainer or an online coach. Reading is so crucial. If you guys aren’t willing to invest in your education via simple things like books, then you’ll never be willing to invest in your education when it really counts. That’s when you’re going to be seeing those gigantic gains in your businesses, when you invest when it really, really counts. Logan, what do you think about reading? Logan: Reading is excellent. You brought up one point I want to address, the different learning styles that people have. Some people are visual. Some people are auditory. Some people are kinesthetic, and there’s also digital. I don’t want to get into too many details but realize that one or more of these things may be best for you. If reading works really well for you, read more. If listening to audios works really well for you, do that. If watching videos works, do that. If you need to get hands on experience or be led through, then go and do workshops, do whatever where you can get that. Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
  • 9. Truthfully, in all those you’re going to be able to pick up stuff so I would encourage you to do all of those. I do listen to audios even though audio is not my best form of processing information, really kinesthetic is but books work, too. They hit your brain in a different way and really to reach that saturation, you do want to be hitting it in all different ways. As far as reading is concerned, one skill well worth learning and well worth having is speed reading. Take a basic course on it. There are books on speed reading. Go and do that. Then you’ll be able to process faster. It’s the same as listening to audios at double speed. You’re able to process the information faster and actually end up having better comprehension if you do it right. You’re able to retain it more. You’re able to take action. Tyler: That’s good. So ready your asses off. Well, Logan, we only got a little bit of time left that we’re going to probably spend on this call so why don’t we bounce back and forth and just give everybody kind of our useful tips for setting yourself up for success, things that you do in your work environment, things that people can do throughout their day to basically set themselves up for success? Logan: Right. Well, I think we talked a lot about this in our last call on getting shit done. It’s really find out what works for you and what allows you to be the most productive. That’s going to be a big thing, setting up your environment in order for you to have great ability to be productive and have the great work flow. I’ll just give a couple of ideas here. I have whiteboards in my office here where I’m able to write things, to keep track of different goals and stats that I have going on. I’m also able to outline, to mind map different projects, and all that. I have two monitors for my computer because I spend a lot of time on the computer. By having two windows open, that may save seconds at a time when I’m doing different actions. You’re talking about the whole doggie bag thing last time but this compounded over and over is huge. I’m actually thinking about getting a third monitor just so it can be even better. So set up your environment so that you can be successful. I don’t do this so much now, I guess because I don’t need it as much but in the past, I would put up success quotes and have different things like that all around my office. I still have success things like my whole library here and everything so I still have that ambient feel but that was a huge thing for really saturating the mind once again. Tyler: Yeah, absolutely. I can bounce some stuff off of that, too. We did talk a lot about this in the last podcast if you guys didn’t listen to the Getting Shit Done podcast. Logan: That was a good one. Tyler: Yeah, that was a good one. There’s a lot of gold in them hills. Some of the things I think you guys need to do is you always need to know what it is that you should be working on. If you come in to your office each day and you say, “Well, I’m just going to fucking wing it,” you may get stuff done but you’re probably going to be half as productive. You’re not going to set yourself up for success which was what we’ve been talking about. Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
  • 10. Like I told you guys last week, I have two lists almost always going. One is the shit I want to get done over the next week. Actually, when I write that document on my computer, I’m going to have every single week for the next twelve weeks after that. If I don’t get stuff done, I can file it away. If I have ideas, I can file it away in one of those weeks, including promotions for other people and things like that. That was I always kind of have a good idea of kind of what I’m doing in the future as well. So always know what you’re going to do next. It doesn’t have to be as strict as “I’m going to do this first then this second.” It probably should be for maximum results but it doesn’t have to be. Just know what it is that you’re going to do so you can keep yourself successful all day long. That includes your audio books or your audio programs. One of the things that I do is I always make sure I have one to three different things in my roster. If I’m going to be really into nutrition or something like that, I’m going to have maybe a few different podcasts I know I want to listen to, maybe a book I want to listen to, a bunch of different stuff that I know I’m going to listen to that week and that particular day so that I never waste any time trying to figure out what the heck it is I’m going to listen to this time around. Or a book on success. I always have at least one book of success on my iPhone and I’m usually just kind of listening to it and seeing if I jell with it. If I do, I’ll listen to it two, three, four, five, six, or seven times, until it really hammers into my skull. If I don’t, don’t be afraid to ditch a book that you don’t feel like is really giving you a lot of information. So I might just ditch a book if I feel like it’s repeat information or to be honest with audio books, sometimes the narrators just suck and it’s boring. I’m like, oh barf! So I’ll get rid of those. So to me, one of the most important things you can do so you can set yourself up for success is to always know what you’re doing next. Logan: Speaking of studying and throwing away books, one good thing about speed reading is you can then adapt your speed based on what you’re reading. If it’s really light and easy material, you can just blaze through that and find those sections that might be very useful to you. There might just be one thing out of a book but that one thing for you could be huge. But sometimes, you do just need to throw away a book. There are so many people who, if they start a book, are going to finish of it and I was guilty of that in the past and definitely getting away from doing that. So adapt your speed. Also with book and all this information we’re talking about saturation yourself with, realize that unused knowledge is a sin. I believe that comes from Edgar Cayce. If you’ve just learned or are just studying, all of this just goes into your brain but you never apply any of it, you’re wasting your time with all that. Yes, you do need to build that foundation and saturate yourself in order to really get there. I believe that is a huge thing but you need to, at some point, apply that information. Without taking action on it, you are wasting your time. Tyler: That's great. So I got another great idea. Here’s how we can finish this up, Logan. I got a great idea for an exercise that will highlight exactly what you just said. If you guys are on the call right now, Copyright © 2013 FitnessMoney.com All Rights Reserved
  • 11. you need to do this exercise. I’m going to make it super simple. I was thinking about how I could make this more complex and I was like, fuck that. Let’s make it as simple as hell. This is the Fitness Money Podcast. We’re trying to teach you how to make money or more money in the fitness industry. Here’s what you’re going to do right now. Pull out a pen and a piece of paper. I want you to write down your number on fitness money goal. If you’re trying to make money online, then write down how much it is. If you haven’t made a damn dollar online, do not right $10,000. Write $1 online. If you guys are making $10,000 then write something appropriate for you. Write your number one fitness money goal down right now. Underneath it, I want you to draw a big line and I want you guys to list the reasons why you want to achieve this. You can say three reasons up to five or ten reasons. Make sure they’re the most powerful reasons why. I don’t care what they are. Logan: Incorporate both towards and away from. What does it mean for you to succeed with this goal? What does it mean if you were to fail, should you fail in achieving this goal? Tyler: Absolutely. Now take that piece of paper and either carry it on you at all times or put it in front of your computer where you’re working at in the day time. I want you guys to make a goal of reading that paper three times a day. Set it in your iPhone: read that piece of paper three times a day. For me, I want to make $10,000 net income online with my online fitness business so I would list the reasons why that is so important to me and why if I fail, that that’s going to damage me. I’m going to read that over and over again and then take action towards that goal. We’ll go into talking action or setting up a plan maybe next week. We can come up with something like that next week but right now, do that one exercise. That way you guys know that you didn’t waste the last half hour just hearing some information but you actually took that information and you applied it right now to benefit your life Logan: When you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed at night, the first and last thing on your mind is your goal. What do you think that’s going to do in increasing your chances to hit it? Tyler: Done. It’s done. Cool, you guys. If you guys dig this one, leave us your review on iTunes.
