I'm gonna tell ya one hell-of-a CRAZY story
But first, I'm gonna tell you something kinda embarrassing, but it's the TRUTH.
And to be honest, I don't think I'd be who I am today if I didn't go through it.
You see, up until I was 23, I had the hardest time making friends, had no business or job, low self esteem, homeless... Basically, I was down and out BIG TIME.
But the strange thing was that I had moments of VICTORY... Moments of UNSTOPPABLE SUCCESS.
Like when I set a goal to get an athletic scholarship to the #1 ranked school in the nation... AND I FRIGGIN DID IT - Even though 99% of the people around me told me I was crazy, I was dreaming too big... I DID IT.
Or when I set a goal to bench press 475 lbs... I freaking did it.
(I don't do anything even close to that know :-D)
But I also had huge failures, like losing my athletic scholarship... And not being respected by my peers... (I didn't deserve it at the time)
But all that changed when I stumbled upon m first mentor.
He was a 50 year old crazy Vietnam vet turned successful multiple business owner named Travis Mayfield. This guy is one of the scariest, and most honest and cool dudes you'll ever meet.
His nicknamed is 3-Dog cuz he got 2 of his fingers blown off in a boobie trap... Then after killing up a bunch of VC for some payback, he was evacuated in a chopper... Then the chopper was blown outta the sky by an RPG (rocket propelled grenade). A bunch of shrapnel got blasted into his eyes and when he finally fought his way back to the base, he was blind for 6 months.
A couple of years ago, he had a heart attack and was back to work the next day! (who does that?!)
Not only that, for the last 10 years, he calls me at 2:30am EVERY MORNING to leave me a motivational pump up message.
I've even seen him workout with broken ribs. (I told you he's one crazy dude)
Travis is an EXPERT in mental toughness and using your mind, to create your reality.
He has a rule... NEVER say or think the word can't or try.
This dude was my FIRST TRUE MENTOR and he CHANGED MY LIFE.
He got me to read some of the most influential books of my life like, How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Who Moved My Cheese, The Power of Intention by Dr Wayne Dyer, The Greatest Salesman in the World by OG Mandino and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey.
And that's when it happened.
That's when I became CONSISTENTLY successful.
So now it's my turn to pass on my knowledge so that YOU can be CONSISTENTLY SUCCESSFUL.
Here are 71 tips to MASSIVE SUCCESS
1. Change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change.
2. Write down your goals.
3. Don't talk about the problem, talk about the solution.
4. Be a YOU person, not a ME person.
5. Give to get
6. Be genuinely interested in people
7. It's better to make 1000 mistakes than do zero things perfect.

Heeeeey - Steve Hochman here, and I am SO GREATFUL that a dude like me (who was in special ed, funny looking, no college degree and severe A.D.D) can have a life where my wife will NEVER have to work and my kids will NEVER have to see the inside of a daycare center.
On that note, after spending the weekend with Leanne Ellington at Bedros's AWESOME 7 figure mastermind, she send me this guest post that really resonated with me.
Part of what makes her posts badassoliscious, is her "feel the fear" but do it anyways attitude - I've personally seen her do this.
Enjoy -
It's crazy how POWERFUL negative thoughts can be.
They can single-handedly make or break you-- whether it be in business, in your personal life, in your health and fitness goals - you name it. If you doubt yourself or act as your own personal naysayer, you better believe the outcome will also become a negative one.
This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending Bedros' 7-Figure Mastermind with some heavy-hitters (including the great Steven Hochmanbergstein himself).
You wouldn't know it, but just like everybody else in the world- business owners and non-business owners alike- we were a group of people with the same fears, frustrations, and insecurities as everyone else.

One girl made 24k in two weeks with one of my tips... That was AWESOME 😀
Seriously, my #1 passion in life, besides being a daddy and husband, is helping fitness professionals make TONS of MULLA.
It's like an addiction... I literally get a high from it.

I had to cut that video a little short cuz I heard my 2 year old crying upstairs.
But this is WAY important for NEVER having to put up with FEAR and DOUBT again... Ever.
Ok, so have you ever REALLY wanted to achieve something but were overcome with fear and all the reasons why it WOULD'NT work...
Well, the good news is, I'm gonna to show you exactly how to EASILY make those feelings PISS OFF.
Here's how it works...
There's a part of your brain called the cyber cybernetic mechanism (I know, big word for a guy who was in special ed)
Every time this part of your brain senses "change" it sends powerful hormones to make you feel fear and doubt.
And because your sub-conscious mind cannot tell the difference between a thought and reality... If you even think about success, it sends those crappy hormones.
Well, that was cool when we were cavemen, but now it just sucks.
But the GOOD NEWS is you can totally "shut it off"
You see, since your mind can't tell the different between your thoughts and reality, you can totally trick your brain by visualizing.
In other words... When you visualize yourself achieving your goals... And do it with GREAT EMOTION (very important) your brain thinks it's your reality.
So when you actually start taking steps towards achieving it... Your mind can't tell that your environment's changing...

But before you read this AMAZING post and instantly become a better "cash pulling" sales copy writer...Check out this footage of what happened when the Hochman's and the Keuilian's went to San Diego
Now read this...
Nope, no typo in the title....
These truly are 2 solutions to 1, 000 mistakes. Actually, it's probably way more mistakes than that, because people make these mistakes so many times throughout one individual website that when you add'em all up, it's probably closer to like . . . 1, 005.
And it's these 2 solutions that determine if all of the copy you're writing from the first word you put down is going to be on the right track, or on, well, the only other option, the wrong track?
1. The most important thing in copywriting...
Here are the most important things you need in copywriting:
- A brain. Preferably a human brain.
- I'm not really sure where I'm going with this. I don't really have a list of 3 things
- I might be out of my mind
I'm almost certain that the most important thing in copywriting is being able to "Connect to whoever is reading what you wrote". And what's the best way to do that?
I find it's to talk to your audience....
This sounds simple, but it's so powerful. The key word there is "talk." Pretend you're actually talking to your audience!
If you were in a face-to-face conversation, what would you say to sell your business?
Here's a simple exercise...

Guest post by Leanne Ellington
Dude my girl Leanne Ellington is on a friggin ROLL so I just had to share this "Hitting the nail on the head" guest post with you... (I know she just did a guest post a week ago, but this is the SHIZNIT)
Enjoy -
One of the most powerful teaching modes out there is to simply learn from other people's experiences-whether good or bad. You can learn a lot by watching how others execute tasks, mingle with their inner-circle, and manage, micromanage, or even dictate.
After watching one of my most favorite villains time and time again kick-ass, take names, intimidate the crap out of people, and then still inevitably fail, I think we can take away a lot from... Dr. Evil!
Let's take a look at his most memorable action steps...
Gather the World's Most Deadliest Assassins...
Dr. Evil formed his crew by getting together a group of the finest, most inherently evil, most cunning and ruthless individuals on the planet, and they would take care of his dirty work for him.
He chose these people particularly because he knew that no one else would get the job done properly, efficiently, and according to his precise instructions.
He didn't waste his time or try to save nickels and dimes by getting people half as good. He knew what he wanted, and he went out there and got the best.
Are you messing around with... bonehead staff, subpar employees, negative and pessimistic colleagues and friends, or human billboards that aren't pulling their weight? Do you arm yourself with the best people that are capable of doing things
the way you want them to be done?
Are you involved in masterminds, fitness and boot camp marketing conferences and events, and hanging around people that possess the qualities that you also find important and wish to possess yourself?
If you couldn't answer, "YES" to all these questions, you need to gather your group of "deadly assassins" that can help you get wherever it is you are going after.
You have the choice to hang out with the crème de la crème, the best of the best-that goes for people working for you or with you. Haters, crabs, and life-suckers will only move you backwards. It's as simple as that.
