Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How to NOT Get Your Ass Kicked in Business and Life

[1:25] – Michael shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.

Never ever follow the crowd.
Look around at what everyone else is doing and do the exact opposite. It can apply to marriage, raising children, marketing, business, physical and mental health…

[4:53] – Working with some of the most mentally tough and competitive athletes on earth, what can we learn from them?

You can learn how hard winning is.
If you want to be in the top 1%, there are no days off.
There’s importance in systems and procedures. Put a game plan together. Have systems, procedures, and rituals in your business so you can have predictable income and outcomes.
If you’re going to build a business, build culture the right way. Build it where it allows you to do what you want to do with personal sovereignty in mind.

[8:30] – From marketing and promoting a hockey team franchise to marketing and promoting an insurance agency – how’d that happen?

He joined his dad’s insurance agency after getting fired
You’ll never have personal autonomy and freedom unless you run your own show.
He was told to not change his mindset or attitude towards business and marketing

[11:00] – What it means to be a badass millionaire world-builder.

Badass millionaire means personal sovereignty. That’s different for everyone
Build your business around your life.
Constantly ask yourself if a decision fits inside your world.
Say no to almost everything. If you’re offered an opportunity, say no unless it’s something that resonates and you really want to do it.

[17:25] – Michael talks about his book, How to NOT Get Your Ass Kicked in Business and Life

Michael was thinking about his daughter when he wrote this book.
It’s a book of rules for men and women who usually hate rules. Entrepreneurs hate rules and restrictions. But rules are more powerful than habits and goals.
Rules are what you put in your life so you don’t have to extend willpower, set goals, or have a daily ritual.

[21:44] – Entrepreneurs as heroes – talk to us about this.

Entrepreneurs today need to vaccinate themselves against this barrage of negativity.
If we’re going to take things to the next level in our society, the greatest example that we can set is as serial entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurs are the men and women in the arena, putting their neck on the line.

[24:35] – Michael’s key take away and call to action.

There are no silos in life. There’s not a multi-million-dollar business not giving back in the community. There’s no silos in building a badass millionaire world.
Identify the person whom you have to become every single day to make sure you build a world you won’t need a vacation from.
Understand who you have been put on this earth to serve.
