And now let’s jump into episode 1749 of The School of Greatness! 

Some Questions I Ask:

  • “What was the biggest fear you had when you were a teacher and coach and started dreaming differently, and how did you overcome it?”
  • “How did you get out of the mindset of ‘this is what I know, this is what I’m good at, this is what I’m comfortable with’ to say ‘I’ve got to give one extra night a week to this side hustle’?”
  • “What were the three things you eliminated from your life when you started going on offense to create the new life of your dreams with the business?”
  • “When do you know it’s just a good idea versus a whole nother level idea?”
  • “How much did taking that risk of moving the whole company to Florida, buying a golf course, spending money on all these different things – how much did that unlock new levels of financial success for you?”
  • “When did you feel the most stress in your life, and how did you learn to mentally or emotionally navigate stress?”
  • “How does someone get into that giving or generosity mindset when they have no money, when they’re struggling, they’re living paycheck to paycheck?”
  • “What’s the secret after 47 years of marriage and going from a high school teacher to building a billion dollar empire, having healthy kids that still want to be around you as adults?”

In this episode, you will learn:

  • How to shift from a defensive mindset to an offensive one that empowers you to dictate your life’s direction rather than simply reacting to circumstances
  • Why surrounding yourself with the right people (and removing dream killers) is critical to sustaining momentum toward your biggest goals
  • The power of “saying it and seeing it” – how verbalizing your dreams repeatedly strengthens your belief in their possibility
  • Why celebrating milestones along your journey is essential for maintaining motivation and momentum
  • How developing your “dreaming muscle” allows you to continuously expand what you believe is possible for your life
  • The importance of resilience and viewing setbacks as temporary obstacles rather than permanent roadblocks
  • Why genuine generosity creates a virtuous cycle that amplifies both your impact and your success
  • Plus much more…
