The Bearded Beast Show

If you're waiting around hiding in the shadows for someone to come along and give you permission to be great...you're going to be waiting for a very VERY long time. The fact is...we are here for a very short time...and then...we die. If you aren't working day in & day out to build your ultimate life....what the fuck are you waiting for? The world owes you and will give you NOTHING!

So many people these days struggle with anxiety. We all move a trillion miles and hour and we are constantly engulfed in this strange, hard to describe fear. So let me help you with that...answer these two questions for yourself... Would you allow yourself to fail? Would you allow yourself to accept a destitute life? If you would you deserve it.

WINNING IS GOOD. WINNING IS RIGHT. WINNING SHOULD BE CELEBRATED. WE ARE BORN TO WIN. When we are two years old and we throw the plastic Playskool ball in to the little kiddie basket ball hoop and it goes in do we celebrate? Hell yeah we do!

Everyone has their "thing". Mine is cars. Ever since I was a little boy it was always cars. Hot Wheels. Micro Machines. R/C cars. Go carts. Models. Car posters. Car   magazines.

Being a self-starter is good ... but it's certainly not the most important thing. I bet you thought differently. Well ... it's the truth. Finding the motivation within yourself to start something is a great character trait. ... but far from what it takes to become a winner.

Quit trying to save people who are content with their bad habits. No matter how hard you try... You aren't going to change or "rescue" them. ...and it's not your job to do so either. By doing this, you're only wasting your own time and energy … and making it harder to fight your own battles.

One of the best habits you can develop in order to become successful in business and life is picking up a book... Reading the book... Absorbing the lessons... ...and applying those lessons. In fact, if I were to credit my own success in business and life to anything... It would be reading.  

A lot of people look at anyone who's successful and automatically assume they are "lucky" or that their success materialized overnight. Then society and the media reinforces these beliefs... Lottery winners, reality TV, viral videos, you name it ... it's everywhere. But here's what they don't show you... They don't show you the truth of what it actually takes.  

Talent may put you in the game... Talent may help you secure a few wins... Talent may give you a temporary lead... But if you only rely on talent alone… There is a 0% chance you will win big long-term. You may think you can... But I assure you ... you won't even come close.

You're going to feel a lot of uncertainty... Especially in the beginning. When I first got started in business back in 1999, I didn't know anything. I didn't know how to hire employees... I didn't know how to manage expenses... I didn't know how to interact with customers... I didn't even know how to get more customers... I didn't even really know anything about the products we were selling…

f you truly want to make a change in the world... You have to live a life that is a direct reflection of the way you believe things should be. There's no doubt that society needs a lot of work... Especially now... But we've overcome before … and we'll overcome again.

Serve. Help. PUT OTHERS FIRST. Stop asking what can I get...and start asking what can I give. Basic shit right? When you ask 99.99% of people on earth: What is the purpose of being in business? They will answer: to make money.

Recently I was standing in line to check into a very nice hotel. In front of me in line was a very attractive woman in early 30s. There was a man in front of her at the counter so she was second in line and I was third in line. I observed the woman. She was very put together. Clearly worked out and took care of herself. She was dressed very nice. She had beautiful perfect black hair. She was tan....

This Is The Key... Not only for making money but for living a full, strong, meaningful & satisfying life. You want to change something about yourself RIGHT NOW, THIS VERY MINUTE, with no special education, certification or extended amount of time that will put you ahead of 99.99% of the people you work with or companies you compete against. Own problems. Solve problems. Not just "your own"...ALL O...

There are nearly 8 billion people on planet Earth. Not everyone is going to like you... It's impossible. In fact, most people don't even like themselves. How are they gonna like you when they don't even like themselves? Their "like" of you is irrelevant if you live the right way long term. The sooner you can come to terms with this... The sooner you can quit worrying about what other people think...

You trade a day of struggle today for a day of prosperity down the road. You trade a day of easy today for a day of struggle down the road. This is how the game works. Remember this when you are frustrated and feel like stopping or cutting a corner. Stop fucking your future self over.

I've been approached hundreds of times by people who tell me they're "thinking about starting a business." But I've never seen a single one of these people actually build a successful business. It's not because they don't have the skills or the ability... As an entrepreneur, these are things that you learn along the journey. The real reason these people fail is because they lack the commitment and...

No matter what it is you're doing... Whether it's reading... Working out... Knocking out a task at work... Having a conversation... Or anything else... Be present.

Social media has become an outlet for people to bitch about their life and compete for who has it the hardest. It's gross. I see post after post from people who repeatedly pout about how sad and difficult their lives are in attempt to get sympathy and attention. Everyone has hard days … or the occasional bad situation. That's not what I'm talking about here.

Becoming successful in life is a slow process. It never happens overnight. This is something I talk about all the time. However, the same is true when it comes to mediocrity. You don't go from being a huge success to a complete failure overnight.

If you need someone to motivate you... Give you a "kick in the ass"... Or constantly hold you accountable for your own performance... Get comfortable with living an average life. Because here's the truth...

Money doesn't change you.  It just amplifies what's already there ... who you already are. I've never seen money change anybody.   It's just another myth and justification by those who don't have any money and aren't going to do what it takes to earn a lot of it. Its people justifying their life as somehow more morally noble than the high achiever because thats all they can do.  

People didn't die for you to waste your life. Families didn't suffer for you to waste your life. What you do with your life is repayment for them giving theirs. Take the responsibility seriously. Build the best life you can. Be the best you can. Live the best you can. Help others do the same the best you can. That's how you honor them.

Greatness comes from bringing others up in EVERYTHING you do. Every thought. Every action. Every idea. Every product you develop. Every service you offer.

"I can do better" This is a thought that is always present in my mind and heart. I believe it's always present in the mind of all successful/driven/motivated people. This thought is in my brain when I wake up...when I go to bed...and all times in between. It's not about material wealth... It's not about sales numbers... It's not about cars... It's not about planes... It's about a love for the batt...
