Being mentored by John Maxwell is one of the best decisions I ever made - I still feel that way 10 years later! I was on a call today in @Brandon Decremer's group, Evergreen Foundations and today's speaker, Jacob, talked about some of the same ideas that I hold near and dear to my own personal growth and development. Let’s get real for a second... Most people say they want more. More impact. More income. More freedom. But very few are willing to look at this honestly 👇 Question 1: What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Go ahead... let your mind open up. No fear. No hesitation. No limits. Now here’s where it gets different. Question 2: Where are you willing to lose... because not going after it isn’t an option? 👊 That one hits different. Because now: 🔹Risk is real 🔸Failure is possible 🔹The safety net is gone And what’s left? 💥 Truth. Not what sounds good. Not what looks good. Not what you wish you wanted... But what you’re actually willing to fight for. ⚡ Here's a Point 8 Mindset Reality: 👉 The first question reveals your dreams 👉 The second reveals your standards And your life will always align with the second. 🔥 Quick Pulse Check (Poll) Which one hit you harder? A) The “no failure” question B) The “willing to lose” question C) Both equally D) Honestly... I’m still thinking about it Drop your answer below 👇And if you’re bold enough... Tell us: What are you willing to LOSE for right now? Let’s see who’s really dialed in 👀

There are seasons in life when something inside you starts to stir... You begin to question the “run-of-the-mill.” You feel the tension between who you’ve been... and who you’re becoming. You sense there’s another level — but the path isn’t always obvious. For me, one band has been a constant companion through every chapter of growth, challenge, reinvention, and momentum. And that band is RUSH. So I’m doing something a little different. Over the next several posts, I’m breaking down powerful themes inspired by some of their most thought-provoking songs — and connecting them directly to what it means to operate at a Point 8 level. This isn’t about music nostalgia. It’s about these distinct 7 stages: ✅ Waking up from autopilot ✅ Taking full ownership ✅ Navigating the internal noise ✅ Building emotional strength ✅ Finding your rhythm ✅ Staying steady under pressure ✅ And stacking the small wins that change everything First, a little bit of context. As I travelled my personal journey to achieving a Point 8 Mindset, I discovered a distinct 6-Part ARC... a map, really. That map is: Awareness ➡️ Disruption ➡️ Adaptation ➡️ Alignment ➡️ Momentum ➡️ Victory As pointed as this ARC is, the truth remains that a map can show the journey but it is the moments, the lens and the emotional state along that journey that tells the story and that's where the music comes in. Each of the 7 Stages above has a theme that ties in nicely to a composition. Think of it like this: A structured ARC expressed through lived experiences Because becoming Point 8 isn’t an event. It’s a process. A standard. A way of thinking and operating. If you’ve ever felt the pull to level up... pivot... or step more boldly into who you’re meant to become, then this series is for you. 👉 Follow along 👉 Reflect as you read 👉 Share your thoughts 👉 And step into your next level Tomorrow I will start with the First Stage: Waking Up From Autopilot Until then, I'm curious: Who here even knows and/or likes RUSH? 👇 Drop it in the comments

“Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think; whatever you want, be sure that it is what you want; whatever you feel, be sure that it is what you feel.” ~ T.S. Eliot The first question we tackle in the Put Your Dream to the Test mastermind, is this: 💥The Ownership Question: Is my dream really my dream? And pay attention to the nuance: 👉 Is my dream really MY dream? This challenges ownership. Did this come from you... or was it handed to you by parents, society, expectations, or your environment? 👉 Is my dream REALLY my dream? This challenges authenticity. Even if it started as yours... have you fully claimed it? Or are you still waiting for permission, validation, or the “right time”? Same words. Completely different lenses. Both matter. Because the truth is: 🔹You have to be willing to bet on yourself. Nobody else’s belief can replace your own. 🔸You must lead your life, not just accept it. Your choices are your power—use them. 🔹When you love what you do and do what you love, everything changes. Because passion isn’t a bonus, it’s a compass. 🔸The moment you stop comparing your path to others, you reclaim your power. Your race. Your pace. 🔹And sometimes, you have to believe in your vision alone before anyone else sees it. Let’s get real for a second… If success looks good on the outside but feels empty on the inside, then it’s not success. Understanding that most of those "limits" we feel were created, not discovered. (read that again). Your potential is still LARGELY untapped (and that is true no matter how long you've been at this or how accomplished you are). So here’s the shift: When you take ownership of your dream... you commit to your dream. No more “maybe.” No more “someday.” No more living someone else’s version of a life that doesn’t fit. So let me ask you— What’s your level of commitment? On a scale of 1–10: 1 = “It would be nice to have” 10 = “I lose sleep because I want it so bad” Drop your number below 👇 and if you’re bold enough, tell us why.
