How much energy and brain space do your problems and challenges take up?

Let’s be honest, they take up more space than we typically want to admit. Two approaches usually happen when hurdles pop up:

#1: Complain

#2: Do everything humanly possible to find solutions to them (and don’t stop until they’re solved).

#2 Seems better than #1, right? That’s what us high achievers do…we find solutions. But at what cost?

Oftentimes, it’s burnout. Because we have a tendency to OBSESS about solving our problems, even when it’s not our problem to solve. Then we wonder why we have more problems and less blessings in life.

In today’s 5 Minute Drill, let’s talk about how to put yourself in position to receive more blessings in life. There’s a key paradigm shift and process surrounding life problems that I want to share with you. I believe with every bone in my body that it will position you for more blessings and miracles in your life.

If you want a better approach to addressing your problems and put yourself in better position to receive more blessings, then lock in to today’s Drill.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The key paradigm shift and process that will position you for more blessings and miracles.
• The "L.A.P.S." acronym for overcoming challenges.
• The importance of surrendering your challenges and problems.
• The significance of concentrating on the source of the blessing vs. the problem.

The more you think you’re in control, the more you’re likely to lose it. I’ve learned this the hard way. And I was the athlete who grew up on the phrase, “Control the Controllables.”

But what if the so-called controllables aren’t fully controllable?

On my latest episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I sit down with Joey Feste - a guy who once described himself as a “recovering control freak.” Joey is the Senior Managing Partner of KM Capital Management and has been advising some of the top players in the NFL for over 36 years. During our interview, we got real about Joey’s journey through sports, business, and life and how he overcame the pile of challenges that were out of his control. If you want to feel more confident when you’re dealing with things out of your control, then lock in to today’s episode.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• What to do when people question your reputation and try to knock you off your God-given destiny
• Why Joey described himself as a “recovering control freak”
• The similar challenges Joey noticed between those he served in his church and his superstar athlete clients
• The common, yet preventable mistake around money

Key Quotes

• “Asking for feedback accelerates change.” - Joey Feste
• “Your relationships are key to managing and protecting your money.” - Joey Feste
• “It’s OK not to be OK.” - Joey Feste
• “Spending becomes a habit just like everything else.” - Joey Feste
• “Don’t just put people in your life that will give you feedback. Put people in your life that you can ask for feedback.” - Joey Feste

Today, we’re going to talk about what to do in those moments where you feel under attack by the people closest to you. When I say under attack, I’m talking about those moments when something was said to you that triggered negative emotions, or when someone called you out on something you didn’t like being called out on. This topic means a lot to me because, if I’m being honest, the passionate half-Italian athlete in me has failed SO many times in these moments. But, I’ve learned a ton from them and want to share a strategy that’s going to help you stay strong in those moments instead of falling apart.

Lock in to find out how to turn challenging moments into powerful, win-win opportunities.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Strategies for managing negative emotions and staying composed in triggering situations
• How acknowledging and owning your feelings can be a powerful tool for personal growth and emotional maturity
• How to prevent yourself from bottling up your feelings
• A four step method for transitioning from being emotionally triggered to responding objectively
• Analysis of the common tendency to view loved ones as liabilities instead of assets, with strategies to shift this perspective
