Do you fear you’ll never do anything worthwhile?

Let Before You Begin be your guide to change the way you are currently engaging the world, so you can experience different results. Results that align with what matters most to you. When you apply Compass Form, this book’s simple framework, you learn to navigate uncertainty, settle on a decision, and, when necessary, adjust course to stay in alignment with what matters most to you.

Compass Form is about isolating decisions, so you address them specifically and clear some of the chaos that comes with trying to make many decisions at once or trying to make the “perfect” decision. Since life is ambiguous and chaotic, it isn’t about predicting the future. The skill you build with Before You Begin is learning how to quickly make sense of the chaos and being content with the best decision possible given the reality of your circumstances.

That’s what you’ll learn to do in this book through its:
Example scenarios
Depictions of real people applying Compass Form
Reflection questions
Practical application activities

Get out of stagnation and frustration and start making real progress towards what matters most to you with Before You Begin.

I listen a lot, (and now I’m helping others get stronger physically)

and I’ve been listening for a long time. Been showing others how it's done for slightly less.

Leaders who are better at listening...
differentiate themselves.

Leaders who are strong physically will last longer. 

Listening like a lack of mobility won't just fix itself. It will require a change. 

I help guide leaders to better listening. I also help you workout in the comfort of your own home with minimal equipment. 

Let’s work together to make the changes you’ve been thinking about.

F*ck life, it would be so much easier if I didn't have to deal with this sh*t anymore.

This used to be my thinking for the better part of 20 years. 

I didn't kill myself because I had a wife and two boys to take care of and I'm thankful I didn't every day.

This was my mindset due to not dealing with my trauma from sexual abuse that occurred when I was 15 years old. 

During my career in the Navy, I coached and mentored others with their mindset, but it wasn't until my last deployment in the Navy that I decided I had enough and decided to change my mindset. 

Here's the six pillars that I've identified that helped me change my mindset and what I use to help others change theirs.

1. Self-Awareness

You can't change what you don't know you're doing. 

I had so many limiting beliefs and negative thoughts going through my mind every day.

The first step was being more aware of what I was thinking and stopping the negative thoughts and focusing on positive thoughts.

2. Ownership

You own your current life whether good or bad, you own it.

Life's not fair. Bad things happen to good people.

However, you own what you do about it. Ownership gives you control over your life.

3. Consistency

It's not enough to identify new habits. You must create consistency with them.

Consistency will change your mindset faster than anything else. 

You're going to have to make the decision to fight to stay consistent with the new changes you put in place.

4. Catharsis

You must address your past to heal.

When you address your past, you have to find ways to get out the toxic thoughts and events that are haunting you.

You do this through journaling, talking into a voice recording app, seeing a therapist, etc., but you must get it out.

5. Gratitude

Gratitude reminds us that we always have something to be thankful for.

Believe it or not, it could always be worse. There are so many people that have it worse than you do.

Find little things to be thankful for every day.

6. Challenge

Challenges are what help us grow the most. 

You are never going to be ready, you are going to be scared, but you need to push through it and do it.

This is how you grow and build confidence. This is how you build a strong mindset.

My goal is to help others from teens to executives change their mindset by eliminating limiting beliefs and negative thinking. 

I have a couple of spots available if you're interested in finding out if I would be the right coach for you.

DM me if you're interested, to schedule a free 30-minute call with me.

Stay positive and take action!🏃‍♂️
