Is this the REAL Secret to Success in 2026?!
Well, here we are the cusp of 2026! 2026?! Seriously!? I remember back in the 80’s, 2026 was the place of sci-fi, road warrior, bladerunning cyberpunk or escaping dystopian New York. Sometimes it can seem as if we’re there or will be soon, but until then we have our own hopes, dreams and goals to shoot for in 2026! |
Resolutions?! We Don’t Need No Stinking Resolutions!! |
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but I’m not a New Year’s Resolution fan… However, I am a big fan of looking at what was working and what wasn’t this past year… AND then re-evaluating where you are at, where you want to go (and Why)… and what’s in your way… THeN setting your goals and action steps for the New Year… There’s no “New Year / New You” without doing the work and then being able to sustain it. Sometimes that’s going to take you uploading an entirely new operating system to your own hard drive… A.K.A. Changing your entire mindset. Those goals and action steps aren’t going to do themselves! And the one’s that will really drive you forward towards that safer, healthier, happier, more successful Life you really want is going to take a minute. No quick fix is going to undo the things that need undo’n, nor developing the habits that need develop’n to transform your Life into what you were hoping for. |
Helping Out Where I Can… |
The past couple of days I received a few calls from community members wanting some help developing their 2025 goals (and action steps) that will help them achieve the transformation they’re looking to get from their training. I tell them… I’m not a ‘tactics’ guy, I’m a SIMPLE strategy guy. No bells and whistles, fad workouts or diets to be found here. What I teach and do myself is pretty basic (but effective) stuff.
Some folks out there don’t want to hear that, they’d rather be distracted by the shiny objects. The problem is you’ll not get the results you are looking for, so next time you’ll just jump on board to the next luminous fixation that comes along promising you the world w/o the work!
Like probably 90% of the people out there… most want the “secret tricks,” the tips and “hacks.”
Yet “Real game is no game” is one of life’s most reliable truisms.
To illustrate what I mean:
There’s a wine maker up North from where I am. Love the place. Great wine. One of the best wine makers in this state in my opinion and many others’ opinions. He and his wife have been at this for many, many years. They were obsessed with winemaking and were true craftsman at it — including regularly traveling to Europe (and other places) to learn at the feet of the old masters passing on the knowledge they learned from their winemaking teachers (many are parts of generations of winemakers going back 100s of years, and maybe even longer).
And I’ll never forget being at his tasting room once, and someone there asked:
“What’s your secret?”
They said:
“The secret is there are no secrets”
It’s all fundamentals, basics, craftsmanship, and doing the work — much of it out of one’s control (weather, soil etc). But that doesn’t matter as much as focusing on what one can control over many years. That is how you grow, improve, and ultimately win.
Learning to protect yourself is exact same approach. It’s not just learning an assortment of punches and kicks, or carrying a weapon. It’s about Living Life on your own terms. Developing the confidence to have Grace Under Pressure under any circumstance. Leaving fear, anxiety & uncertainty behind and growing into a PeaceWalker. |
Reprogramming |
The point is to get the fundamentals to seep into your psychology, take root, and then grow with every new idea, experience, failure, test, experiment, you ever have. Once that happens, you’ll not only be ready for any situation. You’ll look at the problems and conflicts through different eyes, ones that see the opportunities right in front of you. Opportunities that you would have missed before. It’s not about quick techniques or tricks… You’ll start seeing why some of us who have been around the block and learned our lessons the hard way dismiss, mock, and roll our eyes at a lot of the nonsense you are seeing all over the place right now. All the fads, fake goo-roos, hacks and what not.
We’ll talk in detail about many of them in January’s Free Livestream.
As well as lots of solutions to many nagging problems plaguing people in your same shoes, folks looking to protect themselves and families, live healthier lives. get in shape, feel better, stronger, more powerfully.
