RESPONSE ABILITY
Learn how radical responsibility empowers leaders to transform breakdowns into bold moves. This issue of The Grip reveals how to replace blame with ownership, fueling momentum, freedom, and sustainable leadership growth.
MASTERING PERCEPTION
Most people eventually develop ease through mastery. While that absolutely works, it’s a long row to hoe. Elite athletes and business leaders know there’s another way.
In today’s issue of The Grip, we detail the method high performers swear by for world-class accomplishments and reveal the necessary framework for using it effectively yourself.
UNLOCK YOUR CREATION MASTERY
The reason for not getting desired results when doing all the “right” things is being out of sync with the fundamental laws of creation to begin with. The more you understand how creation works—and get in step with it—the more effectively you will create what you want in life. Ultimately, the more skilled at creating you become, the less constrained by scarcity, stagnation, and strain you’ll be.
MEDIOCRITY OR MASTERY
Creation has an order to it, and once you understand the fundamentals, you will be equipped to create more of what you want, whenever you want. In this issue of The Grip, we’re introducing three foundational distinctions for masterfully creating your life.
Where in your life are you not getting the results you want? Whether it's your career, personal relationships, or your well-being, prepare to begin a massive upgrade.
LEADERS UNDER FIRE
Imagine this: You’re at the helm of a rapidly growing company, faced with a tidal wave of societal pressure. The world is demanding that you take a stand on divisive cultural issues—issues that, while important, have little to do with your mission.
The noise is deafening.
The critics are loud.
What do you do?
SELF-MASTERY
The stoic philosopher, Epictetus put it this way, "No man is free who is not master of himself."
At The Grip, our mission is to simplify and de-mystify this critical skill so you actually enjoy doing what it takes to master yourself—you’re much more likely to excel at it when you do.
In this week’s issue we’ve curated 10 of the most powerful books on self-mastery—each one a masterclass in building focus, clarity, and discipline.
Whether you’re leading a team, building a business, or creating a life of impact, these books are tools to create the life you know you’re capable of.
AWE:
Every conscious soul is designed to be amazed—astounded, gobsmacked, captivated, bewildered; to stand in awe.
Awe is the emotion we feel when we experience vast mysteries. What does that have to do with life mastery? Experiencing more awe is a little-known game-changer for how you move through life—it directly shapes how you create and lead.
MASTERING INSPIRATION
When cultivated, inspiration is a force for making miracles in your life—it will accelerate your growth and impact. To experience more of it, you’ve got to get a handle on what makes inspiration thrive and what snuffs it out.
Discover how mastering inspiration is key to actualizing the fullness of life you’re designed for.
TRUE STORIES OF GRIT & REINVENTION
Reinvention isn’t just a reset—it’s a powerful decision that can redefine what’s possible. If there’s something you desire, and the person you are today can’t achieve it, there’s still hope. The key is this: you can become someone new. And that transformation starts the moment you choose it.
Today, be inspired by the true stories of three leaders who dared to reinvent themselves—paving the way for others to rise beyond the ordinary and achieve the impossible.
WHAT ARE YOU HERE FOR?
For conscious souls, mere existence is excruciating.
We are imbued with the will to live for much more than survival.
People are made for purpose.
BORN TO TRANSFORM
The perceptions you have of yourself today were invented and cultivated from the time you were young. And because they were invented…they can be reinvented. You are under no obligation today to be the person you were yesterday. REALLY.
What would it mean for you to be free from the limits of who you learned you are? What if who you really are, and always have been, is RE-INVENT-ABLE?
WHY YOUR BRAIN RESISTS CHANGE
In this week’s issue of The Grip, we contend with a harsh reality that arises when you attempt to reprogram your subconscious brain: either it works inconsistently or not at all.
What’s going on?
MEET YOUR HIDDEN SUPERPOWER
The subconscious brain operates in the realm of the unseen. It has access to options and information that never make it onto the conscious brain’s radar. Between it’s processing capability, it’s 24/7 operation, and it’s access to mind-boggling amounts of information, the subconscious brain is your own AI companion.
This is why mastering your subconscious brain makes such a difference in what you achieve in life—the more you move conscious desires into the domain of the subconscious, the more power gets behind fulfilling them.
THE ETERNAL WELL
In normal conversation, wellbeing is considered to be a temporary state. It’s something that, through choice, action, and circumstance, can be gained or lost. You can make yourself well; you can make yourself unwell.
What if wellbeing doesn’t work that way? What if being well is as constant as being human?
FORWARD FOCUS
Thus begins the cultivation of one of the most disempowered thought processes known to man: focusing on what you don't want in an effort to achieve what you do want.
This disempowered focus gets initiated, then habituated, and eventually automated so that by the time you’re about seven years old, you’re already programmed to focus on what you don’t want…you don't even know it's happening.
And it will frustrate you like nothing else in this life.
Put simply, success comes more easily and quickly when you stop focusing on what you don't want and focus on what you do want instead.
YOUR MISSION DOESN’T NEED A MENTOR
The real power of these types of conversations is not that they solve issues for you but that they give you access to a realm of knowledge from which you can create solutions yourself; often immediately and easily.
A mentor isn’t needed for ordinary growth. As a living being, you will grow at your default rate one way or another, because the nature of life is to grow. Your mission doesn’t need a mentor…unless ordinary growth is no longer enough for you. If you’re ready to powerfully advance your service in the world, get a masterful mentor.
The most effective way to access the realm of What You Don't Know You Don't Know—to do it frequently and consistently— is through mentorship.
In today’s issue of The Grip, we give you Eight Attributes of A Masterful Mentor so that you can identify a mentor skilled in helping you leverage What You Don’t Know You Don’t Know for your accelerated growth.
THE GAME-CHANGING ACCELERATOR FOR YOUR GROWTH
The real power of these types of conversations is not that they solve issues for you but that they give you access to a realm of knowledge from which you can create solutions yourself; often immediately and easily.
Access to this realm of knowledge allows you to see what you’ve never seen before. This is the game-changer between slow, minimal progress and rapid growth.
In today’s issue of The Grip, we reveal this powerful realm of knowledge for accelerating success in your life and show you one way to start accessing right now.
Unmasking The Imposter 3
Unmasking The Imposter 2
People rely on Imposter Syndrome, aka Fake It Til You Make It, for success when they fundamentally misunderstand how the process of “becoming” in life works. They operate under a false premise that they can work their way into becoming someone new, and that’s the trap. Life doesn’t actually work that way.
Unmasking The Imposter 1
Many leaders experience some degree of what is frequently called Imposter Syndrome: persistent self-doubt, fear of failure, and worry of being exposed as a fraud. It’s so common that even if you don’t struggle with it yourself, it’s likely that someone you value does.
