In this video, we’ll take a deep dive into the art of living well through Stoicism and the teachings of Marcus Aurelius. We explore the principles of Stoicism with a focus on Donald Robertson’s book: How To Think Like A Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. Learn how Stoic practices like decratastrophizing, reserve clause, cognitive distancing, and daily meditations can enhance your everyday life.

Discover the 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success from "The Go-Giver" by Bob Berg and John David Mann! 🌟

I highly recommend this book. In this episode, I'll share some of the key insights and what I learned from my own life.

The 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success 1. The Law of Value — Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment. 2. The Law of Compensation — Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them. 3. The Law of Influence — Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first. 4. The Law of Authenticity — The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself. 5. The Law of Receptivity — The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving. 3 Universal Reasons For Working “They are the three universal reasons for working. Survive — to meet your basic living needs. Save — to go beyond your basic needs and expand your life. And serve — to make a contribution to the world around you.” ➡️ Resources Mentioned: - The Go-Giver: A Little Story About A Powerful Business Idea by Bob Burg and John David Mann - Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson - Navalmanack by Eric Jorgenson - VIDEO: The Gap By Ira Glass: https://vimeo.com/85040589 - Hoopla App - Libby App Join our community and share your thoughts in the comments below!

Hey there, friends! Welcome to another episode of the TBM Show. In this episode, I am sharing my personal strategies to help you stick to your plan, even if you consider yourself a little lazy (we all have those moments).

In this episode, we explore the influential factors that shape our lives, such as deciding where we live and who we spend our time with. I share examples of successful individuals like Mr. Beast, who surrounded himself with like-minded YouTubers to propel his rise to fame. It's a reminder to carefully consider who we want to surround ourselves with and what we want to spend our time working on.

The episode also features five proven strategies to stick to your plan. Whether you struggle with motivation or find it challenging to stay on track, we have strategies you can start using today. Join me as we explore these strategies and discuss practical ways to achieve your goals.
