If you don't feel energized and fully alive in your life outside of work, you need to take 1 minute and 35 seconds (I timed it 🤓) to read this page...

Here's the truth:

We work to live, not live to work.

You believe this, but the "hustle culture" around you makes this feel much easier said than done.

Society says, grind hard at work for a few years now so you can have the money and time to put family, health, and hobbies first later.

Our jobs ARE important... but something inside you knows that 30 years from now, how you spent your time with the ones you love and who you have become will be far more important to you than what you have accomplished.


You want to know another truth? It's not what you think—

There is nothing wrong with you—the issue is the expectations society has placed on your life.

The issue is how you've been taught to react to negative situations in your life.

The issue lies with the unconscious thoughts and patterns you never even got to choose.

Hi my name is Mitch Whiting, and I'm a High Performance Coach for people ready to find passion, purpose, and progress in life outside of work.

Being a parent, spouse, christian, leader, entrepreneur, friend, and endurance athlete, I know all too well how difficult it is to balance all of life's demands.

You have been told that you can't have it all—if you make work and family a priority, then you can't be fit or have a social life.

And my personal least favorite... If you have kids you can no longer have hobbies.


Here is the final truth... you can have it all.

I know because I have lived both lives.

Over the past 10 years through failure, struggle, transformation, more failure, more struggle, and more transformations I have learned that...

Who you are is more important than what you have accomplished.

Your soul will feel that deeply the more you become who you are meant to be.

Discover the simple strategies my clients use every day to find greater purpose, be consistent in their goals, and connect deeply in their relationships.

Book a 1:1 call, where I will personally help you:

• Understand where you are

• Gain clarity on your ideal life

• Create a vision for who you can become

• Walk through how we can work together 1:1 to create passion, purpose, and progress for you daily.

Yesterday I hit 25,000 followers on LinkedIn!

I started posting here because I was struggling in my personal life. 

I felt like I wasn’t consistent in anything outside of work. 

So I convinced my wife that “consistency” 
should be our word of the year.

My approach to LinkedIn was different than most.

I didn’t create content. 
Instead, I documented my learning.

My posts weren’t for others, they were for me.

You retain 90% of what you teach others 
so I knew if I posted every day, 

my life would start to change, 
because I would start to change!

Since that one decision I made to document my learning daily on LinkedIn I have:

• Reached over 20 million people 
• Promoted 2x in my job and tripled my salary
• Became an accidental entrepreneur
• Coached over 100 clients in 8 different countries 
• Tripled my income again 
• Left my career in retail and ecommerce behind 
• Moved to our favorite place in the world 
• Led and facilitated 3 outdoor retreats
• Created a digital course called Rewire Your Brain: Moving Beyond Self-Help to Self-Transformation
• Invited to write a book with a large publisher
• Been invited to speak on a top 1% podcast
• Started running 8 minutes a day and now run a half marathon every Saturday with my friends 
• Signed up for an ultra marathon in September
• Traveled to Mexico, Jamaica, Bahamas, Florida, California, Arizona, Texas, and Utah
• Created the Anti-Goal Mindset: How to Achieve Massive Results Without Setting Goals
• Created the Life-Work Alignment Mastermind with Richie Norton
• Made my family “my new 9-to-5” by working 3.5 days per week

I consistently tell my clients:

You cannot comprehend what you are capable of from your present self.

I never could have dreamed of everything that has happened over the last few years. Never.

Instead of focusing on achievement 
I focused on becoming.

Becoming more of who I really am by stripping away the hours I was spending in a suffering state.

In stress, anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, comparison.

I focused on obtaining the world's most valuable asset━not money or time━

but the ability to sit in the peace and silence of my own soul, without any need for escape or distraction.

I found that the secret of becoming is 
that achievement always follows.

Learning how to consistently live in a powerful state freed me.

And it all started with LinkedIn.

I will keep documenting my learning here on LinkedIn and becoming more of who I really am.

Thank you for following along and being a huge part of changing my life!

9 years ago, Jackie Chan shamelessly said,

"I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee, 
I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan."

There's no time to worry about being like Bruce Lee 
When you're busy becoming who you are meant to be.

If the tortoise compared himself to the hare 
He would have never started the race.

You have so much value to offer this world.

Stop comparing yourself to others.

Focus on you.
Slow and steady wins the race.

A few months ago the COO of LinkedIn helped me get my LinkedIn account back after someone in Thailand hacked in and stole it.

At 9:03PM I received an email from LinkedIn Security saying that a phone number in Thailand was added to my account for two-factor authentication.

At 9:06PM I received notification that a new email address was added to my account and my email address was removed.

At 9:07PM I tried to log in to LinkedIn with my email and it created a brand new account with no profile picture and 0 followers.

My account was completely stolen. 

I was helpless.
But not hopeless.

My first thought filled me with anxiety:
“My entire business is gone.”

I have learned an emotion only lasts in your body for 90 seconds.

So I allowed myself to feel the anxiety fully for 90 seconds.

I let my brain run through all the worst case scenarios without trying to resist my emotions.

Allowance, not resistance. 

Now I had a choice. 

It is impossible to create powerfully from a suffering state. 

But from a powerful state you can do nothing but create powerfully.

I deferred back to one of my default beliefs
“Everything happens the way it’s supposed to.”

I immediately imagined speaking from a stage one day sharing this story to teach the importance of building an email list instead of relying on a social following.

I also realized that my business wasn’t gone because my business isn’t a LinkedIn account.

My business is me. 
My business is my relationships.

My business is my ability to help others find Deep Success—the ability to sit in the peace and silence of their own soul without any need for escape or distraction.

I will filled with confidence and peace.

From a powerful state I reached out to my network and began telling my story.

A friend connected me with the COO of LinkedIn and his team worked Saturday and Sunday to recover my account.

When I got my account back I had only 6,000 followers instead of 20,000 followers.

I did the inner work again to return to a powerful state. 

The LinkedIn team was able to restore my followers over the next 24 hours.

Everything worked out the way it was supposed to.

Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you.

An invincible mindset does not mean you don’t feel stress and anxiety. 

It means you have the ability to return quickly to a powerful state every time you find yourself suffering.

One of my clients was unfaithful to his wife in their last year of marriage.

His ex-wife recently texted him and told him she is having a hard time.

My client is becoming a master self-coach (the entire focus of my coaching) and is learning from his thoughts and emotions rather than resisting or indulging in them.

He felt strongly that the pain of his unfaithfulness years ago is still a big part of her suffering today.

With the permission and support of his new wife,

He invited his ex-wife, her parents, 
and her extended family over to his home.

They didn’t know the reason he invited them over but they still came.

In front of his ex-wife’s family, and his own, he apologized.

In a room filled with tears and surrounded by so many people that love her, his ex-wife hugged him for 60 seconds.

She forgave him. 
And her forgiving embrace healed my client.

I don’t have words for the love I feel for 
my client, his family, and his ex-wife.

For his commitment to focus not on success, but Deep Success—the ability to sit in the peace and silence of his own soul without any need for escape or distraction.

So he can be happy with himself and deeply present with his family.

You cannot change the past.
But you can always change yourself.

It’s never too late to say sorry.
It’s never too late to forgive.

And it’s never too late to become who you really are, 
and consistently live in a powerful state.

Take time off.

Work will not fall apart without you.
But your relationships will.

If you are thinking, 
"Actually, my work would fall apart without me," 

Then it's time to learn to delegate.

There are times and seasons 
where taking time off feels impossible.

If you schedule it ahead of time,
You will make it possible.

Just booked a week off in May to Orlando.

...Without our kids.

Just two adults playing at Disney World and the beach kid-free

Disconnecting from work 
and reconnecting with what matters most. 

Don't wait until Christmas to take time off this year.

Use the dang PTO.

Marriage is the last selfish decision you'll ever make.

Don't settle. 

Make sure the person you marry is 
just as right for you as you are for them.

And then, once you say "I do" 
it's a choice to be selfless from here on out. 

You may be asking yourself 
"How do I find my ultimate partner?"

Do this:

Write a list of everything you want in a partner. 

Dream big. 
Don't hold back. 
Write it all down.

Now, write your name at the top of that list.
And start becoming.

Finding the ultimate partner is about 
becoming your ultimate self.

Your best self will attract your best partner.

6 months ago I spent $1,100 on one meal for 30 of my clients and I’ll never forget how emotional it was.

When my wife and I got married I carried $30k of debt into our marriage. 

Our debt continued to grow with medical bills and the weight of debt was heavy. 

We didn’t see a way out. 
We were making $50k per year and already had our first child.

For years we split every meal with each other to save money.

So I couldn’t imagine paying $35 at a restaurant 

And now, years later, we were debt free 
and I was picking up a $1,100 check. 

I cannot express to you the peace and 
confidence that comes from being debt free.

Everything in my life is easier because of it. 

I can’t share this post without thanking my financial coach Chris Claflin for helping us pay off $37k of debt in 5.5 months on a $50,500 salary.

I don’t share these numbers to impress you, but to show others it’s possible. 

It wasn’t until I heard someone else’s debt free story that I believed it was possible for me.

The impossible became possible with the right guidance.

Coaching turns decades into days.

And I will keep saying it again and again because it’s true.

We are staying at the Bass Pro HQ resort, and my kids keep asking me the same question over and over again. 👇 

“Can we go fishing Dad?”

We dug up worms to fish with and my son was disgusted by them 😂 

All of a sudden he didn’t want to go fishing anymore. 
It was “too gross.”

I tried convincing him that worms are awesome but he wouldn’t have it.

Then I remembered the words of a famous German Pilot, Dieter Uchtdorf, who said, 

“The WHAT informs, but the WHY transforms.”

I explained to him WHY we need worms.

I explained what a fishing bobber was,
the excitement of watching it disappear, 
and how the worm is secret to tricking the fish.

He was jumping up and down excited and told his mom “I love worms so much.”

One of my clients has battled his son for 4 months trying to brush his teeth before bed.

Last week he asked “Do you know WHY I need to brush your teeth?”

“Because I can see the back of your teeth that you can’t see and can get all the dirty food off.”

For the first time in 4 months his son calmed down and said, “Okay!” and they brushed his teeth in peace.

“The what informs, the why transforms.”

I have used this principle for 15 years. 

It works at home, at the office, and with yourself. 

Find enough compelling reasons and you and others will be transformed to do the things you already know how to do!

This new definition of success will destroy your fear of failure.

One of the greatest boxers to never live, 
Rocky Balboa, said:

“It ain't about how hard you're hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.“

Old definition: 
Success is how well you perform

New definition: 
Success is how well you handle failure

Failure is NOT the opposite of success, 
it’s a part of success.

The only way to truly fail is to stop trying.

If you don’t have enough success, 
it only means you haven’t failed ENOUGH.

When I realized success wasn’t even possible 
without failure, failure stopped feeling like failure.

Don’t be afraid to be a beginner.
No one starts off as excellent.

One of my clients texted me this screenshot of his bank account with one million dollars in it.

His company had one last fully-funded payroll left 
then the next one would be bouncing checks.

When we met, he had 2 major fears.

1/ His startup would collapse 
2/ His marriage would end in divorce.

I teach my clients how to detach from outcomes and let go of the need for achievement. 

I know it sounds INSANE to let go of the need for money when feeding families and your own marriage is on the line.

But I have found, when we live from a place of fear we immediately guarantee the very thing we are afraid of.

My unfair advantage in life is understanding neuroscience and permanent change. 

It is giving my clients the process to obtain freedom from emotional suffering regardless of their circumstances.

A month ago I received this text:

“We might actually get the $1M investment next week. It’s a miracle. Thanks for being there with me for the past few months. I would not be here without the time I spent with you.”

But then the money DIDN’T come.

Weeks passed and time was running out. 

Then I received this text:

“We still don’t have the money in the bank for funding, but I’m at peace. My wife and I are doing better, we still aren’t perfect.”

4 days later the investment came through.

Not every story has this ending.

The outcomes we want, don’t always come through.

But we have the power to be at peace, regardless of the outcome.

And from a place of peace, we create most powerfully.

Everything works out in the end.
If things aren’t working out right now, 
then it’s not the end.

14 years deep in the battle of mental health. 
And he refuses to give up. 

I love Kory Stevens so much.

He is a light that chooses to shine through darkness.

Peace has not been Kory’s default. 
But love always has.

The way he loves his wife, his kids, and every person in this world who shares the struggle of depression is profound.

I understand the depths of depression better because of this man and his courage to fight and his courage to share.

Kory and his wife are speaking next week with wearemind(dot)org

If you don't have the success you want yet, it simply means you have not failed enough times.

Most of us want to skip the process, 
not knowing the process makes us.

When you are ready to fail, 
then you are ready to succeed.

I just spent $15k to spend a single weekend in a mastermind with a few 7, 8, and 9 figure entrepreneurs. 

I’m also in another mastermind that is $1k per month which has literally in the first month 50x’d my investment. 

I also work with a 1-on-1 coach
And a fitness and nutrition coach
And a running coach
And a financial coach 😂 

It has been impossible for me to NOT get the full value of any coaching or masterminds I have joined.

I have learned that the value of coaching is found in a single distinction that changes the way you live the rest of your life. 

Rather than trying to squeeze every learning and every ounce of value out of the coach or mastermind, 

I focus on making the small, seemingly insignificant shifts that change the focus and trajectory of my life.

But what if it wasn’t about the money at all? 
What if it wasn’t about achievement either?

If you shift your focus on coaching to look through the lens of becoming, you are certain to get the value.

“Okay Mitch… I get it… but I still want the ROI, 
I want money to come from the coaching I’ve invested in.”

The good news for you is this:

The secret of becoming is 
that achievement always follows.

When you become more of who you really are, 
there is more of you to give. 

When you give more to the world, 
the world calls that value.

And what does the world exchange for value?
Money. Achievement. Recognition.

When you focus on becoming, 
success becomes inevitable.

Because the secret of becoming is 
that achievement always follows.

“If you work hard on your job, you can make a living. 
If you work hard on yourself, you can make a fortune.”
