Emotional Mastery
Men,
Your ability to master your emotions will determine your destiny.
Decisions are extremely important. Wherever you are or wherever you will be are a result of the decisions you have made and are making right no.
Decisions determine our destiny. Our challenge is to make decision the line up with who we want to be or who we are called to be.
How to we make decisions that we are consist with who we are called to be.
If logic isn’t driving our decision making, that means it is emotions that are driving our decision making.
It is our thought and feelings that determine our decisions.
We do what we do because we feel like it.
We need to stop chasing apples and receive what God has already placed in us.
You already have everything in you to make you who you want to be, God has already placed that in you, but you must receive it.
Three things you need to do:
* Read the word.
* Receive the word
* Reminded of the word consistently
You already walk in the image and the likeness of God.

Overcoming Inaction
Men, If you knew for sure that you were guaranteed success you wouldn’t have any problem taking action to start something new.
We get stuck trying to make the ‘right’ next step, but the only wrong step is the step not taken.
Making a turn in the wrong direction doesn’t matter because it is part of your journey and the end doesn’t change, you still get to where you are going.
Do not let analysis paralysis stop you from taking the next step
Let's talk about the power you have to :
* Increase your belief in the end result
* Do some research and make a plan
* Take the step

How Prayers REALLY Work
I know your prayer life has felt like a struggle lately. You've been asking for something for so long, but it hasn't happened—or if it did happen, you don't feel like God was involved in the process at all.
**But here's the thing...**
**God is not a vending machine.**
When we pray, he doesn't dispense our requests like snacks or drinks—he cares about us and wants what's best for us.
In this podcast episode, you'll discover how your prayers are really being answered. It's common for us to pray for things that aren't what God wants—so we never see Him answering our requests the way He intends.
Instead, He's planting seeds and waiting for His perfect timing to bring those seeds to life.
It may take longer than we expect, but this also means that we don't have to worry about asking God for things that aren’t meant for us or praying for the wrong things.
If this sounds like something that would be helpful or interesting to you or someone else in your life, check out the episode

The Missing Key To Leveling Up Your Life
Men, if we are honest , the thing that keeps us up at night is…”Will I fulfill my potential as a man? Will I do enough?”

Men, taking massive imperfect action is similar to putting a bandaid on a major bleed…it’s not fixing the underlying problem...which is a mindset issue.
We will be unpacking the difference between perfectionism and high standard of excellence as our solution to overthinking, over-exhausting our energy, and throwing our centered spirit out of alignment.

The Clarity You Want Is Just A Thought Away
Men, we all desire to have clarity in our lives! In our health, wealth, and relationships.
However, we don’t spend enough time THINKING about what this means as we live in a world of “just get it done” or accept “ I don't know as the answer.”
What if “ I don’t know “ is unacceptable ?
Let’s challenge our current direction and way of thinking.
When we get clarity on what we want we will be unstoppable!
This requires :
* Thinking time.

What Does Winning Mean To You?
Men, the challenge is that we all want to win. But how do we know when we are winning?
Not all success is sustainable. Not at all success is healthy.
You can be winning and losing at the same time. You can be winning in at work but losing at life.
We define success by Material, Money, Media (social), Merit (what you do). When we define success by these things there is no end.
You can succeed in a healthy way.
Winning is: Selfless, Service, and Simultaneously Rewarding.
Why are you going after your goals?
What is the direction? Become satisfied (fulfilled) then you can serve. When you serve you succeed.
What is the subtraction? What is the success costing you?

It is difficult for us to believe in an ideal situation for them, when we don’t believe in an ideal situation for ourselves.

#1 Reason Why Men Struggle With Inconsistency In Their Faith
One of the more important issues that many men struggle with, and something I’ve struggled with in my past, is being inconsistent in practicing our faith. How does this look? Well, this looks like not spending time with God…not reading the Word…not slowing down long enough to get clarity in our lives. This inconsistency of faith shows up in other areas of our lives in the form of less peace, more stress, greater distractions and being more susceptible to the temptations, including…Getting caught up in focusing on Women, Wealth, and Winning too much. Ultimately, as a result of our inconsistency…we stray away from him and stray away from peaceful and productivity. We end up frustrated at ourselves for cyclically straying away and feel too ashamed to return to relationship with him.
We end up thinking…”I really ought to be more consistent. Will this viscous cycle of going to God, and going away from God ever change?”

3 Critical Mistakes That Prevent Men from Reaching Their Full Potential
Truth be told, one of my greatest fears is that I will not reach the potential that God me put on this earth for. That I won’t complete my assignment. That I will fall short of what he’s asked me to do. This has kept me up many of nights…A fear and deep concern of not fulfilling my potential while here on earth.
And for many men it’s the same fear. However, it is a real thing that we are not currently fulfilling our potential. We are not showing up as the husband, father, business owner as we can be. We are allowing the ‘3 Killer S’s’ to destroy our life: Sex, Status, and Salary to destroy us. We are not optimizing our health, wealth, and have a distant relationship with God that is better described as convenient or have completely left him out of our work and lives. This causes us to feel frustrated, stuck and unfulfilled. We are left wondering, “Is this it?” “How did I succeed professionally…

In this interview we discuss why men prioritize our success in our career and business over our success in other areas of life (i.e. faith, family, health, etc.). He talks about the difference between ‘success vs pseudosuccess’ and how pseudosuccess is destroying our lives.

* Faith: Not spending time with God and the Word
* Family & Relationships: Not spending time with family and wife

* Career: Not advancing in career or business

The Path to Success Without Sacrificing Your Faith
I know we all want to succeed. But for many of us the question is…how do we simultaneously succeed AND maintain our faith and relationship with God? Is it really possible to succeed professionally without sacrificing your faith?
For many of us success has come at a great sacrifice. It has come at the cost of…
* Our faith
* Our family and marriage
* Our Personal relationships
* Our Health
For many of us we believe that you must choose between one or the other…Choose between success OR faith and fulfillment. We’ve been lead to believe that success and a strong faith and walk with God cannot happen at the same time.
Since we accept this belief as truth, we end up choosing success…but success that comes at a great cost.
Also, since all we see are examples of success costing people their personal lives…then we feel that there’s really no other way.
Therefore, we hunt success and justify not being close to God, not spending time with our spouse and children, and n…

When we feel like we have to have it all together…we fall victim to not being authentic and vulnerable, which causes us to lead these secret lives filled with distractions and devices that draw us farther and farther away from our full potential.

How to Avoid Success From Becoming Self-Destructive
How do you feel about yourself when you don’t succeed at something?
How do you feel about yourself when you fail to reach your goal?
Do you define your identity, self-worth, and value based on your results?
For example, do you self-identify with being of value and worthy only once you succeed at something? Do you beat yourself up if you fail to accomplish something?
A ‘success mindset’ can be very helpful in our ability to achieve, but if we become dependent on success for our self-worth…it can go from helpful to hindering our effectiveness and fulfillment.
Don’t beat yourself up when you don’t succeed at something!! Don’t go down the self-destructive mindset of becoming dependent upon success to have a sense of worth and value.
I’ve experienced this self-destructive success mindset before. I only saw myself as accepted and validated once I accomplished something…and if I didn’t, I would feel really bad about myself. I needed to succeed primarily to MAKE ME FE…

A PROVEN PLAN for Results & Life Fulfillment
The best gameplan for results in your work and life, is dependent on how solid your God-Plan is for building a personal relationship with God.
We need to get used to expecting the unexpected. Unexpected adverse circumstances (aka. crisis & challenges) are going to happen…it’s a guarantee. When it comes to dealing with these adversities…How we respond will determine our results.
Much of success and fulfillment is related not so much on what you do at the mountaintop of life but how you manage the valleys of adversity.
We are pretty good at setting goals for the different areas in our lives where we want to see results.
We then set a gameplan in order to hit the goal.
However, it’s not uncommon that an unexpected adverse outcome/crisis/challenge will force you to change the gameplan. (i.e. covid pandemic, job loss, decreased business, relationships challenges, etc.)

It is not uncommon for high-achieving men to think…”If I can succeed at the next goal, then I’ll be fulfilled”. Our fulfillment is directly tied to some achievement or measurable success.
This way of thinking fuels a drive to succeed at our goals in order to soothe an underlying lack of fulfillment in our lives…and are completely unaware of it. Our lack of fulfillment becomes our motivation to succeed….because if we ‘can just achieve our goal, then we will be fulfilled’.
This results in achieving the goal, but still feeling stuck, and your goals coming at the COST of your fulfillment, instead of your fulfillm…

How To Turn Your Current Challenges Into Triumphs
Don’t let going in the wrong direction, take you off of the right path!
Our pain:
We often get discouraged when going after our goals. It’s easy to get discouraged when pursuing our goals.
We lose hope because we meet resistance or feel like we are going in the opposite direction of our goal.
* Family/Relationships goals: Goals to become closer with our spouses and children…but seems like relationship is getting farther apart
* Health goals: Goal to lose weight but seems like scale is going in the wrong direction
* Wealth/Financial goals: Goal to get out of debt or earn a certain amount but income, are going in the wrong direction
* Careers goals: promotion or elevated income but it’s not happening
Our aspiration:
We want the straight line approach when pursuing our goals. The shortest path between 2 points is a straight line…and that’s exactly what we want. We don’t want obstacles or resistance.
We want to achieve our goals without:
* Resistance

This ONE DECISION Can Lead To BREAKTHROUGH Success & Fulfillment
This ONE DECISION Can Lead To Breakthrough Success & Fulfillment
Ever feel like you’ve tried everything in your power to succeed or achieve a goal and you are still not where you want to be…either in your career or life? Maybe you’ve tried the ‘secrets’ that others talk about but it doesn’t work.
I call this place in life “The Crossroad”, because you have to make a decision to do something different so you can get something different. If you continue to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result, then that’s insanity.
That crossroad often comes down to this question…
“Am I going to continue to do things my way and in my own power OR submit to God’s way with God’s power??” It’s either your way OR Gods way
MY STORY:
After doing everything I could possibly do to succeed in my home-based business and take my practice to the next level…I found myself getting the same results. In addition, my pursuits were coming at the cost of e…

The 5 Beliefs That Determine Your Success
We all have big hopes and big dreams and big goals. Sometimes so big that they are scary! Not only do I want to reach my goals but I want you to reach yours as well.
With that said, the key to every goal or dream becoming reality is TAKING ACTION (aka. the ‘behaviors’) toward it. There are certain actions & behaviors that must be taken in order to…
* Strengthen your faith
* Have a happy marriage
* Earn a certain level of income
*
However, every behavior we take OR don’t take…is attached to some underlying belief.
I’ll prove it…
My story:
I once thought that my level of success was dependent on how hard I worked. My formula for success was: Hard work = Success.
* Therefore, I worked hard and became a doctor.
* However, my hard work was completely influenced by how I thought…my beliefs. The reason I worked so hard was completely dependent on my underlying thoughts & beliefs.
* If I didn’t believe I could become a doctor…I would have never worked…

A Key To Less Stress & More Fulfillment
Have you ever felt like you are trying to juggle everything in life and it’s become stressful and overwhelming?
If you desire to have less stress, more peace, and more fulfillment…today I’m going to discuss the right order of life’s priorities in order to perform at a higher level with less stress
THE CHALLENGE:
We are stressed and overwhelmed. Work and life are disorganized.
With the juggling of work and life it feels like a ball is always dropping or we are scrambling to try and prevent it from dropping.
It seems like we can’t catch up with life.
Stress is a killer! Stress causes us to live in a ‘survival mode’ as opposed to ‘thriving mode’. This stressful survival mode expends a lot of energy to maintain, and unfortunately, it doesn’t leave enough energy for recovery and sustaining life. Ultimately, this stress can influence issues such as…
* Digestion issues
* Chest pain & Heart issues
* Cancer, etc.
Just to name a few physical characteristics of…

The MAIN Obstacle Preventing You From Achieving Your Goals
THE CHALLENGE: Inconsistent Action
We want to live amazing lives…crush it at work, achieve our goals, and live fulfilling lives. The results we are looking for is entirely based on the actions and behaviors we habitually do. Our Actions = Our Results. Unfortunately, we aren’t achieving our goals and living the lives we desire because we aren’t consistently taking the actions that lead to the results we want. We get stuck because of a lack of consistent action.
THE PROBLEM: We believe working harder on the ‘behaviors’ is the answer
We believe if we just work harder…put in more reps…do more work and, just do more actions that we will reach our goals.
We believe we need more self-discipline, more will power, and even accountability. We just need to ‘get our act together’ and ‘do the work’. ‘Just do it’.
I once thought the same way. I would think…
* Just lift more weights and do more cardio…to get in shape
* Just see more patients and work harder to…

The Kryptonite That Kills High-Achieving Men
THE CHALLENGE:
Have you ever struggled with perfectionism or feeling like no matter how well you do something…it seems like it’s not quite good enough? Do you ever place a large amount of pressure and stress on yourself to perform at a high level and you find yourself beating yourself up when you don’t achieve?? Do you ever feel that you can never meet a certain standard you’ve set for yourself?
I’ve struggled with this idea of self-doubt, feeling like I’m not good enough, and having to achieve more in order to prove my worth and value as a man…and beating myself up when I don’t achieve “up to par”.
As men we all have a need for validation. The definition of validation is…”the act of affirming a person, or their ideas, feelings, actions, as acceptable and worthy”. Every man, including you desires to be affirmed and to feel as acceptable and worthy. Validation is what defines our self-worth and value.
THE PROBLEM: “External Validation” (aka Kryptonite)…

Get More Done, With Less Effort
THE CHALLENGE:
We don’t have enough time in our day to get the tasks done that we want to in order to achieve our goals. It seems as though we just don’t have enough time to get things done. Ultimately, we are trying to maximize our time to get as much done as we can in our day. The more we get done, the sooner we can achieve our goals.
But, we only get 24hrs in our day, and much of it is accounted for…
* Sleep accounts for some of it (approx. 6-8 hours)
* Getting ready, showering, bathroom
* Eating
* Family time
* Working out
*
And the remainder of the time we have is working on our professional goals within our career or business.
Ideally, we are trying to be efficient AND effective…that’s the formula for productivity.
Productivity = Efficiency + Effectiveness
Being efficient is doing a lot of work in a short period of time.
Being effective is working on the right task that will bring about the greatest result.
Efficiency often requires more work…AND…

Is Traditional Church & Religion Distracting You from REAL LIFE CHANGE?!
This is a topic I’ve been meaning to address for awhile. However, I have recently been very convicted to share, due to an overwhelming concern we may be placing our focus, and more importantly our dependence, on something that could be ultimately hindering our growth & development in our work and lives.
The reality is that we ALL want to live amazing lives…but I believe we are relying and depending on the wrong things and are ultimately going in the opposite direction of what will allow us to experience the amazing life we envision.
Here is what I know, and believe, beyond a shadow of a doubt, because it is true…
Consistent & Close Relationship with God will make EVERY AREA of life better!
Relationship with God Will make you a better man and the man you are looking to be. Psalms 37:4 makes it very clear…

How to Make Your Success INEVITABLE!
How to Make Your Success INEVITABLE!
Do you ever get frustrated when going after your dreams?
Have you ever felt like your goals and dreams just won’t happen and consider giving up on them?
I’ve been there! And I get it! Sometimes we can get pretty frustrated and disappointed on our road to our dreams.
However, I’ve discovered something VERY UNIQUE that gave me confidence to achieve my goals. As a matter of fact…there is almost an inevitability and predictability to your success. Yes…I said the word ‘Inevitable’! There is a way to nearly guarantee and secure the accomplishment of your future goal!
OUR CHALLENGE:
Typically, the way many of us see our goals as being far away, far removed, and separate from us. Therefore, we ‘go after’ our goals. It becomes an arduous struggle to get to a place or become a person that we don’t ultimately believe is who we are. So the pursuit of our goals includes a lot of stress and struggle because the internal belief of who we…

The 'REAL' Definition of Success with Fredrick Bussey
“You end up chasing the high you imagine, instead of the fulfillment you actually need”

Whaaaat?!?! Wow! This is SO true for so many of us!
One of our BIGGEST problems as men, is we have THE WRONG DEFINITION of success and a POOR MEASURING STICK for how we determine whether we are successful.

Is Your Career Identity Preventing Your Happiness?
Let me make this clear…
You are more than what you do for a living!!
Your identity is more and deeper than what you do for your career or business!
Fellas, ultimately, we are destroying ourselves because we are defining ourselves primarily by what we do for a living…instead of by the TRUTH OF WHO WE ARE!
Our identity is HOW we see and perceive ourselves…how we define ourselves. How we perceive ourselves has great impact on whether we have positive or negative self-esteem toward ourselves. This identity dictates how we show up in the world.
PROBLEM: WE IDENTIFY OURSELVES BASED ON OUR CAREER
* We often identify & define ourselves by what we do (i.e. doctor, lawyer, business owner, etc.), and how well we do it.
* If you were asked…”Who are you?” How would you answer? Often times our professional title is used to answer that question.
* When first meeting someone we often immediately talk about what we do. The first question after greeting someone and sharing our n…

How to Make Critical Decisions For Work & Life
THE CHALLENGE: MAKING CRITICAL DECISIONS
Do you have a system for making critical decisions?
Every single day we are faced with making lots of different decisions
* Decisions within our career and businesses
* Decisions within our marriage and family
* Decisions for our health

Ultimately our decisions determine our destiny
Depending on the decision…the outcome can go left or right…good or bad…favorable or unfavorable.
* If I decide to marry my wife…life looks different
* If I decide a different career…life looks different
* If I decide to hit the snooze button…I’m late for work…
* If I decide to not workout or decide to eat something unhealth…then there’s a different future than if I do…
Therefore, the decisions we make are EXTREMELY important! They determine our destiny.

Your Greatest Challenge Preventing You From Achieving Your Goal
I know you have BIG goals that you are excited about! I’m talking about the BIG ones!! The visions, the dreams, and the hopes that are almost SCARY when you think about them! I get it! I have those same ones.
Here is what typically happens…
* We get excited about our goals and dreams…
* We write them down
* We start going after them
And we think that the biggest challenge to achieving our goal is the hard work & consistency of doing the actual tasks that will help us achieve the goal.
Therefore, we invest our time, money, and energy toward things that help us with those tasks
For example:
* Health goals à Get Gym membership
* Business goals à Purchase and take an online course or conference
* Career goals à Development of new skills
* Husband & Fatherhood à Spend more time with wife & family
But how many times have you tried the NEW THING or some NEW TASK that sounds like it’s supposed to work…and then results never change?? OR it only changes tempora…

How To Get More Time To Achieve Your Goals
I can remember struggling with having a lack of time in my day. I was so busy that it seemed like I didn’t have time for everything…including my faith, my family, or my fitness.
Have you ever felt like “If I just had more time in the day”.

* You have a goal of losing more weight, but don’t have enough time in the day
* You want to spend time growing in your faith, but don’t have enough time in the day
* You want to start a business, but don’t have enough time in the day
Trust me, I get it! I’ve been there before.
Here is what typically happens…
We believe we don’t have enough time in the day. The thought is, ‘if I add more tasks to my plate (even if its tasks getting you closer to goals you care about) then it’s going to take away from the areas of my life of importance’…which is typically work.

How To Break A Bad Habit
Have you ever had a bad habit…something that you knew would not benefit you or help you in any way, yet you do it anyway? Or maybe it’s something that you need to do, but for some reason you avoid doing it?
These are BAD HABITS! And this is something I can definitely relate to. We all have bad habits…It doesn’t matter who you are, you have one (or some).
For example, I have a bad habit of procrastination. If there is something I know I’m scheduled to work on, but not in the mood to do it…I’ll procrastinate by spending time doing something else that doesn’t help me reach my goals. For example, when it’s time for me to create more podcast & YouTube content, but I’m not in the mood, then I’ll find something…ANYTHING to do…even do the dishes of all things, just to avoid the work I scheduled to finish.

Have you ever felt like you’ve been struggling with a certain challenge for a long time, and seems like nothing is changing?

Does it seem like the vision of who you want to be is far away?
Believe it or not…this way of thinking will ultimately hurt you…and today we will talk about THE RIGHT MINDSET to have to win in ANY area of life!
Let’s define what I mean by this ‘flawed mindset’. I’m talking about the mindset that you are striving to achieve something that you currently don’t have or be someone that you are currently not.
I used to think this way. I thought I was so far removed from who I was and what I wanted to achieve.
Therefore it was a struggle to…
* Be a better father
* Be a better husband
* Be in great shape
* Be closer to God
* Be successful in my career as a doctor
* Be a great speaker
* Be fulfilled
I saw myself as a failure or underachiever in those areas because the way I had currently viewed myself was so different than how I wanted to be. Therefore, everyday was a consistent reminder of WHO I WASN…

'The Mask': The SILENT KILLER of Professional Men
Have you ever had an internal struggle (or maybe even have one now)…that NO ONE knows about…and it’s preventing you from reaching your full potential?? But you tell everyone that everything is ok…yet you continue to silently struggle?
This is what I refer to as…THE MASK!
Definition of ‘The Mask’: a well-decorated display of a hidden internal struggle
The Masks we wear are SILENT KILLERS!!
As a physician I’m familiar with certain diagnosis that are silent killers. For example, Hypertension (aka High Blood Pressure) is silent killer. You can’t see it, feel it, hear it or witness it. But it effects every organ and system in the body…and can ultimately result in death if left untreated. The masks we wear work the same way. They are silent…no one knows about the struggles we hide…but ultimately it’s killing our faith, relationships, and destroying our ability to live out or greatest potential.
Here are some examples of the masks we wear:

I thought, once succeed in my career and make a certain amount of money that I would have ‘made it’ and that it would bring with it a certain sustaining joy and satisfaction. But…I was wrong. As a result, I basically resorted to other things to try and be fulfilled (i.e. working harder, earned more money, went on vacations, spent more money…and more) and it never brought lasting fulfillment. As a matter of fact, it only drew me further from the things that mattered. I was further from God as I’d ever been, and was failing as a husband, father, and was not living up to my best potential.

Have you ever felt like…”This can’t be it!”…when thinking about your life?

That was me for years! Outwardly successful doctor and business owner, but secretly stuck and unfulfilled. Was far from the man I’d always envisioned myself to be. Wasn’t the husband, father, doctor, business owner, or man of faith I knew I could be and was consistently making poor decisions that was keeping me breaking the cycle of unfulfillment and subpar performance in life.
