I’ve been crushing a lot of business books lately. I love playing with the universe and really trying to understand more fully how to generate wealth — and how that relates to love, family and life.
It’s interesting how when it comes to making money, one of the beliefs I bump up against is that I should feel guilty for wanting “more.” As in, why should you or I have more when others have less?
In the book, 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan, one of the teaching points is that we need to stop convincing others why we’re allowed to want what we want.
Wow. Imagine that — you can just want something, and not need to justify to others why you’re allowed to have that thing?!
Think about this in the context of everything in our lives… we want to justify to others and defend why we want great love, or why we want to pursue our passions or our purpose. But we don’t need to justify sh*t to anybody.
You’re allowed to want it all.
And you can have it all.
And not only can you have it all, you are ethically responsible to be successful in every facet of your life.
Damn. That hits, doesn’t it?
You are ethically responsible.
Wow.
I read this recently in the book The 10x Rule by Grant Cardone, and it rocked me. Why? Because it calls us forward into our potential and connects us to accepting that call to our integrity.
And I couldn’t agree more.
We are ethically responsible for becoming everything that is being asked of us. We are ethically responsible to become the BEST we can be at love, family, and in our business, whatever our business is.
Are you truly doing your best? Are you actually living at your fullest potential in every area of your life?
Perhaps it’s a lot to ask… but I’m starting to wonder if it’s not a lot to ask, but actually a lot to NOT ask.
If I love you, I’m not going to settle for a lesser version of you. If I love me I’m not going to settle for a lesser version of myself. (This isn’t the dismissal of struggles, it’s just not letting someone make a home in their struggles).
I recorded a solo episode of the podcast exploring these ideas and SO MUCH MORE that is CRUSHING, and people are LOVING. It’s the motivation you just might need to get your poop in a group and step fully into what is being asked of you in love, money, and life.
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
Much love,
Mark
This podcast episode was made for me. I was like, “OK MARK GROVES! You can stop yelling at me! I’m doing it!” I listened no less than 7 times the week it came out to catch all of the useful nuggets and shared it with multiple people. THANK YOU!
