"You will be paid in direct proportion to what you know that you give away." This powerful truth has transformed my approach to business and life, leading me to create over 2,100 videos—with 600 just in the last year and a half—all with the goal of sharing everything I know to help others succeed.

The concept is beautifully simple: contribution is the foundation of growth. Whether in real estate, mortgage, insurance, or any other field, your willingness to give freely of your knowledge creates a powerful cycle of abundance that returns to you multiplied. I've seen this principle work consistently throughout my career, even during times of struggle and challenge.

What makes this philosophy so effective is how it aligns with our fundamental purpose. God put each of us here for a reason—to contribute, to teach, to show love and respect, and to be all that we can be. This understanding provides motivation that transcends daily difficulties. When you're feeling down, one of the most transformative things you can do is help someone who's worse off than you. Everyone has something valuable to share, a unique message that others desperately need to hear.

As we navigate the holiday season, I encourage you to consider how you can be the solution in someone's life. Find something you love so deeply that you couldn't stop doing it, and share it generously with others. I believe in your ability to make a meaningful difference because we were all born unique and special, designed to impact this world positively. The question now is: what will you do today to be the best version of yourself and create positive change in the lives of those around you?

Subscribe to this podcast for more insights on finding purpose through contribution and discover how giving it all away might be the very key to receiving everything you've been seeking.

"Winners never quit and quitters never win." These words form the foundation of a powerful reminder about our responsibility to persevere—not just for ourselves, but for those who came before us.

The journey of our ancestors contains profound lessons about determination. They crossed oceans on lengthy voyages, often arriving with nothing but their willingness to work without complaint. These sacrifices weren't just personal choices; they were investments in future generations—in us. Their struggles paved the way for opportunities we now take for granted, creating not just a privilege but a duty to succeed.

Lisa Nichols' story perfectly captures this obligation. As a discouraged 15-year-old swimmer ready to quit after repeated losses, her grandmother reminded her of her ancestors' sacrifices, compelling her return to competition—where she ultimately triumphed against older competitors. Years later, even as Lisa prepared to appear on Oprah, her grandmother ensured she remembered fundamental values: cleaning hotel sinks, making beds, and leaving generous tips for housekeepers who lived "day to day on their tips." These small acts of consideration reflect a deeper understanding that success carries responsibility.

The contrast between past hardships and modern conveniences is striking. Today we can order shoes online from our cars and receive them the next day. We broadcast our thoughts globally with minimal effort. Life may not always be kinder, but it's certainly easier in countless ways. This ease doesn't diminish our obligation to persevere—it magnifies it.

What challenges are you facing that seem insurmountable? Remember those who endured far greater hardships to provide your opportunities. Their legacy demands your persistence. After all, as long as you don't give up, you still have a chance at success. How will you honor their sacrifice today?

Ever find yourself standing in front of your closet each morning, wasting precious mental energy on what to wear? Or having that pointless back-and-forth conversation about dinner plans? These seemingly small decisions silently sabotage your productivity by depleting your decision-making reserves before you've tackled anything meaningful.

This episode unveils a powerfully simple Sunday planning system that can transform your entire week. The secret lies in four straightforward practices: comprehensive schedule blocking, intentional workout planning, weekly meal decisions, and advance outfit selection. Each component eliminates decision points that would otherwise drain your mental resources during critical work hours.

When you proactively manage your calendar—ensuring every professional obligation and personal commitment is properly time-blocked—you create a visual roadmap for success. By scheduling workouts as non-negotiable appointments with yourself, you guarantee the energy-boosting benefits of regular movement. Planning meals eliminates those draining daily food conversations, while selecting outfits in advance prevents morning closet paralysis.

The psychology behind this system is compelling: we each have finite decision-making capacity. Every choice, no matter how small, draws from the same mental reservoir you need for important business and life decisions. By establishing these Sunday planning habits, you preserve your cognitive resources for what truly matters—moving your life and business forward with intention and clarity. Try implementing these practices tonight, and experience the difference a little planning makes in your productivity and peace of mind. Your future self will thank you for the gift of mental energy when it counts most.
