My son is 7 years old and I want to get him int Jiu Jitsu. What lessons has it thought you in life? <\/b>https:\/\/youtu.be\/02tq9USODe4?t=4643<\/a>
\nIt teaches you humility because it forces you to surrender to people who are smaller than you, not as good athletes as you, younger\/older than you.
\nIt will teach about respect.
\nIt will teach you discipline. If you want to get better at it and reach your goal, you just have to do it. It teaches you about the discipline to keep doing it on the days you may not feel like doing it.
\nIt teaches you that using brains and tactics trump meeting force on force. Jiu Jitsu is about being more crafty. It teaches you this for life.<\/p>\n

With the new year approaching, what have you changed your mind about? <\/b>https:\/\/youtu.be\/02tq9USODe4?t=5145<\/a>
\nThe biggest thing that\u2019s been the radical change in 2015 is the fact that I am out there in the world. I am now a lot more connected to the internet and social media. I never wanted to be part of this before but now I think its awesome. Being able to connect with people and motivate them and instil some discipline in them feels great. People are reaching out to me and telling me how the podcasts have changed their life and its inspiring to me.<\/p>\n

Your sleep routine: how many hours sleep do you get? How do you get to sleep if you are not tired? Do you take naps? <\/b>https:\/\/youtu.be\/02tq9USODe4?t=5626<\/a>
\nI don\u2019t need a tone of sleep. I generally sleep 5-6 hours. I feel groggy if I sleep for 7 hours. If I have to do something boring or tedious, that\u2019s when I feel tired.
\nPower naps are great. A high school teacher gave me advice to put your feet higher than your head for a rest and power nap. In Seal Teams we might have 8 minutes to get ready before a deployment. This was to get your gear ready, go to the toilet etc\u2026 It would take me 1 minute to get my gear ready, then I would lie on the floor, put my feet on the bed and have a nap for 6 minutes. It you sleep longer than that sometimes you start to feel groggy.
\nIf you want to go to bed earlier, you have to get up earlier. It doesn\u2019t work in reverse. I love the feeling of exhaustion when I am going to bed at night so when my head hits the pillow I’m out. That\u2019s the feeling I’m going for everyday, just burn it out.<\/p>\n

In regards to achieving goals, how do you deal with loved ones who seem determined to hold you back? <\/b>https:\/\/youtu.be\/02tq9USODe4?t=5975<\/a>
\nMany people are negative in the world. A lot of people are haters. When someone starts doing something well, other people can get jealous pretty quickly.
\nWhen people aren’t approving what you are doing or giving you praise for what you are doing, that\u2019s your fault for expecting it. You are the one LOOKING for approval, looking for praise and support. You shouldn\u2019t expect anything from anybody. You should go forth and conquer anyway. Don\u2019t let anybody hold you back.
\nIf you are letting people hold you back, its your fault. You need to take ownership and move on. You have to make people understand why what you are doing is important and why it will benefit you and your loved ones in the long run. Explain the WHY.<\/p>\n

What are the bullet points and keys to success for motivating and engaging your team as a leader? <\/b>https:\/\/youtu.be\/02tq9USODe4?t=6586<\/a>
\nLeadership, although there are basic fundamental principles, it is not something that can be “bulletised”. It is like trying to “bulletise” something like how to play the guitar. It is an art, it is a practice. It is a nuanced tool that comes with practice. The basic principles are:<\/p>\n
