« My hope is that each challenge turns into a new ritual and eventually becomes part of a new habit . »
The Better Life Challenge , a 30 day challenge in which each day you watch a short video and implement one new habit that can transform your life , is a passion and drive for me because I know people need to make changes in their lives . I know people need successful habits and rituals that allow them to reach that next level of life , to maximize their full potential . I think one of the biggest plights of our society is that people are walking around knowing they could do more , knowing they have more potential , but are staying with the status quo because that ’ s all they think they can achieve .
I think when people can tap into being their best selves , to using all the gas in their tank , it doesn ’ t matter where their wealth goes , it doesn ’ t matter what heights they hit . What matters is they know they ’ re using all they have . That is when people start companies or take their companies to new levels . They take their intimate and family relationships , they take their passions , their health , their abundance , and their joy to a whole other level because they have so much more to give . I ’ m always looking for ways to ethically bribe people to shift their habits , to try new success rituals that can make an impact on their lives .
Today we live in a world where people are becoming more shallow due to social media , Instagram , Facebook , text messages , emails , and our everpresent phones . People have so many distractions these days that they are approaching things in a superficial manner but still hoping for success .
The Better Life Challenge was my idea of a way to give people small daily challenges that they can do in minutes just by watching a short video . My hope is that each challenge turns into a new ritual and eventually becomes part of a new habit . If even three or five of the 30 daily rituals stick in someone ’ s life , it will make a shift . It ’ s like hitting a golf ball , right ? If you don ’ t hit it on the sweet spot , the ball goes in a completely different direction from where you wanted it to go .
We only need to shift our lives a fraction of an inch , but over time , doing that can change our lives . For instance , if we eat too much today , we ’ re not overweight tomorrow . But eat too much every day for months and months and months and we will eventually be overweight . Spend too much money today , you might not be broke tomorrow , but you might be broke in six months or a year . What if you implement one tiny success habit today ? Will you be rich , successful , and happy tomorrow ? Of course not , but over time , you ’ re shifting the way you think , you ’ re shifting your routines , you ’ re shifting your actions . And that ’ s where true success is made .
People want to jump into business . They acquire all the tactical skills they need on how to run a business or they have a product or a service they know people need , but no one takes the time to build the grit , to build the foundation for success . And The Better Life Challenge was just a way for me to hack into people ’ s crazy , busy lives and insert the habits that have allowed me to create sustainable wealth and success in my life .
I think The Better Life Challenge could truly be one of the greatest challenges ever created . And we even “ game-ified ” it to give people incentives to go through it , to ethically bribe them to finish . People get points for completing the tasks , they get points for sharing the tasks on social media and they get points for getting friends and family to take the challenges with them . All of a sudden , a group dynamic happens . And you have the ability to win great prizes each month . I ’ m also giving away my Tesla to the grand winner . And then I ’ ll come up with another great prize to motivate people to take action .
I think if you ’ re going to be in business – and I ’ m in the business of helping people become successful – you do whatever it takes to get people to take action . The best wisdom in the world that is sitting on the shelf unread is no wisdom at all . Action outdoes perfection every time .
