Reader,

It’s funny how people look to famous people for cues on how to be successful … but focus on all the wrong things, like:

  • Their morning routines
  • The clothes they wear
  • The brand of toilet paper they use

(I swear if I see another “The Morning Routines of X Successful People” article I’ll throw my laptop out the window.) 

But here’s the thing: The small things they do are ultimately meaningless to your own success. If you focus on them, you end up missing the point entirely. 

It’s like thinking that if you wear Air Jordans you’ll be able to dunk a basketball like Michael Jordan. I guess we all just forgot about the 20 million hours of practice that Jordan did. But gimme those shoes!

Put it this way: I could copy Serena Williams’s morning routine and she’d still beat me in tennis with a frying pan.

The difference isn’t in the hacks or clothes or morning routines. You gotta go much deeper.

The difference is in their mindset. 

The most successful people aren’t living in peaceful Zen gardens with no interruptions. Like all of us, they live MESSY lives with too many decisions, too many things to do, and too many places to be.

Sure, you can learn a trick or a hack. Hey, maybe it will help. Maybe Serena Williams’s morning routine allows her to perform at her best. Or maybe it’s her decades of training on the tennis court every single day and improving her craft, I dunno.

Novices want hacks. Masters will take the hacks, sure, but they realize that all hacks eventually become outdated. But true mastery of the fundamentals never does.

When you ask successful people how they juggle demanding careers, busy social schedules, family commitments, fitness, self-development, and downtime — and do it all without burning out or coming across as frenzied maniacs — what do they say? "Yeah, I just do it."

That’s because they’ve absolutely mastered their fundamentals: Time, money, relationships, and most of all, their own Mental Mastery.

Here’s how you know this is true: If these people had to skip their morning routine one day or changed their clothes, they’d still be successful. 

They simply decide they’re going to do it, and they get it done. They don’t second guess, they don’t stress, they just do it.

They aren’t stronger. They aren’t smarter. They aren’t more gifted. 

But they ARE in total control of their minds. They have a Mental Mastery that allows them to do what they need to do … what they want to do … without any of the hang-ups that would make other people get stuck.

"No matter what, people grow. If you chose not to grow, you're staying in a small box with a small mindset. People who win go outside of that box. It's very simple when you look at it." –Kevin Hart

"Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness." –Oprah Winfrey

"You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this and you will find your strength." –Marcus Aurelius

Reader, it’s not about finding a magic pill that can transport you instantly to your goals. It is about mastering and harnessing your mental powers to transform your life in the way YOU want.

I call this Mental Mastery. 

I've been fascinated by this for years and secretly collect examples of people who have it. What do they do differently? And more importantly, how do they think differently — and why? 

Anytime I met someone who seemed to be operating head-and-shoulders above everyone else, I peppered them with questions to verify what they did differently. Was it habits? Mental frameworks? Were they simply “gifted” from birth?

Slowly, I built a map of this Mental Mastery. I wanted a blueprint to tap into this power source. I found that all winners had four core inner skills in common. Four deep differences that gave them an instant edge in business, work, even relationships.

I tested each of these in my own life. I've shared some of them with my close friends and colleagues. The impact blew me away.

And now I want to give them to you.

I’ve put everything I’ve learned into a course: Mental Mastery.

These are the tools you need to crack the mental blocks that have been holding you back for years and replace them with the four core inner skills of winners
