In one of Nipsey's most grittiest songs, he lays out his entire philosophy on pressure, which shows how he was able to accomplish so much in so little time. Listen as I highlight these bars, and show tribute to one of the greats. #BARS

We all want to accomplish our ultimate goals. Action is a prerequisite. However, some of you are too afraid to move before you feel you are ready. This can't be you. You gotta move despite the fear. Listen as I explain practically how to make moves before you are ready and I explain Killer Instinct V to those who want to take their game and life to the next level.

Most of your peers are victims....and you most likely are, too. Being a "victim" means you act helpless to change your circumstances, and life bullies you into submission everyday. In this episode, I go into depth on why this is, how to know what type of victim you are, and most importantly... how to transform into a boss. 

It's 2019... You're able to fly just about anywhere in the world for less than a pair of sneakers, your phone recognizes your face, and you can start a business in 10 minutes on the internet... Yet people still like to limit themselves and what they can do. It's disgusting, so I decided to share with you a mindset that can change all that. #UpOnGame

Jay-Z is arguably the GOAT in Hip Hop, and in this track "NYMP" from his Vol. 3 album, he shows why. This is a bar that one would normally brush over, but it hit me particularly hard. Jay breaks down the importance of knowing yourself, and how to move in alignment with your essence. #BARS

You can have all the tools in the world, and be as prepared as you want to be....but if you're afraid to claim what's yours when it's time, it won't matter. The yellow tape mentality is a complete feeling of worthiness, ownership, and ruthlessness, that causes the best to go for even more. Lack of this causes a lot of very talented and skilled performers to never make anything real happen. Listen to this final episode in the bloodline series to find out how to weave all of these qualities and traits into your mindset and take results to new levels.    imnotyou.com/KI

Most people claim to be humble.....the real evidence lies in their actions. In this bloodline, I explain what aggressive humility is and how to know if you have it or not.

It's rare to find someone who recklessly pursues what they deserve, with a blatant disregard for the opinions of others. Most are plagued with worry, doubt and overthinking. This cannot be you and I. We must become more and more fearless in our approach. In this episode I break down this bloodline. 

I am no relationship Doctor, which is why whenever I struggle, I am always looking to find answers from people with expertise. I came across this author from a friend, and since then, his books have literally saved my marriage.

Persistence is to success what salt is to food...it's essential. Without it, you can almost guarantee failure. In this episode, I highlight a Jay-Z bar that shows the importance of Persistence and the mindset you need in order to keep going and bounce back like a champion. #BooksandBARS

Humans naturally default to extreme laziness....none of us are exempt. But the best find a way to fight this off, and replace it with an uncompromising focus on the right details...It's what I like to call "precision", and it is crucial.
