Today Anthony is talking about the power of making shifts in your life that allow you to continue to move forward and live into your God-given purpose!

He walks us through his Identity Shift system and the 3 phases of it (See, Sacrifice, Sustain) that can help anyone tap into their true potential.

What is “Identity Shift”

“It’s the “SHIFT” of the most powerful key to our success. Our identity, because who we affect what we do and who we’ll become.

Some people allow these shifts of life and identity to overwhelm and overcome them like a strong undercurrent pulling you down.

Then there are others who own their shift, allow their identity to be modified by life’s experiences and use it to springboard them to achieve bigger dreams and goals.

When the “shift” hits the fan, how do you handle life’s challenges?

Episode# 018: The Power of NO + How to Master the Right Yes!

There are seriously so many things that differentiate a go-getter from a dreamer. That separates a successful person from a wannabe. But one of the most powerful things in the back pocket of someone who is crushing it in life is two little letters - N.O. That’s right gang - NO.

This concept was foreign to me. I thought hustle meant saying yes boldly to everything. I thought it meant turning down no opportunities. I thought success way found in the yes’s.

As a result I was under earning, exhausted, and spread insanely thin.

Okay so what’s my point? If you’re feeling overwhelmed, like you have all of these things you want to do, accomplish, become - but it’s just not happening - we are breaking the stigma around the word no and freeing up time, space and unlocking potential in your life!

Learn what it means when you say yes

Identify the right yes’s in your life

Find out how to gracefully say no

Then watch the magic happen!
