Kobe Bryant was one of the greatest basketball players of all time, and his death in 2020 was shockingly tragic, but this man is a basketball legend who has left a legacy that will continue to inspire and impact the lives of so many generations to come.  

In this video, I share a true story that illustrates the work ethic of this man, the more I read about him, the more I realized how destined for greatness he truly was  - not because he was gifted at basketball, but because he simply outworked everyone else in the NBA.  He chose to be second to none.

I was introduced to the importance of fundamentals in the coaching program I took in 2019, but I wanted to emphasize the importance of it by telling you a story from one of the greatest of all time.  You hear about what this man did, and you can understand why he was the greatest player in the world during his playing days.

What are the most important fundamentals in your life that you need to pay more attention to? There are fundament...

Hi, my name is Herb Lamba, and welcome to Philosopher Insights.

Let me ask you a question. Where do you place your focus while you're pursuing your life's biggest goals and dreams? Are you constantly focused on the outcomes and burdened by the thoughts of why you haven't achieved them?

Or - do you put your head down every single day and focus on the process? What I have discovered in recent months is that if you want to drive up your productivity and joy plus reduce negative self-talk and complaining, then you have to change your focus from outcomes to process.

You need to make the shift from 'what I want' to. 'what do I need to get done right now? '

I remember setting a daunting goal of reading 52 books in 2020.  I remember vividly writing down that goal, and at the very same moment my negative mind started to trigger - "Are you nuts? You'll never achieve that goal!"

"Be more realistic! You're a slow reader!" - and all kinds of other thoughts that weren't helping me move toward m...

Hi and welcome to Philosopher Insights. My name is Herb Lamba. Today I wanted to talk about another productivity hack from 'Organize Tomorrow Today'. In one of my previous videos, I shared 'Attack the Open Space'.

Now I want to share my favorite productivity hack from this book.  It's called 'Win Your Fight Thru's. 'Win Your Fight Thru's'.   

A fight thru is "I can do this! " - quickly becomes, "Oh, that's a little bit harder than I thought."

How do we deal with that internal conflict that we're having when we know what we're supposed to do, but we're in this fight thru.  I want to share three ways you can battle that internal conversation.

So the first one is to ritualize and I love habits.  I'm really big on developing better habits because the stuff that's really, really important, we need to find a way to make it a habit to avoid having to win or lose the fight thru.

We don't want it to be a question of whether I should do it or I shouldn't do it.  It's automated, it's already...

🏈 🏈 SuperBowl Sunday!  Success Leaves Clues 🏈 🏈

It's SuperBowl Sunday, one of the biggest party days of the year, and as spectators of such a wonderful game, did you ever step back to think that you are watching athletes living out their dreams? 

Everyone that participates in the SuperBowl, the players, the coaches, and the owners are showing up at this game behind a lifetime of hard work and dedication.  They did not just show up for the game today, they didn't just succeed this season, they spent their lives committed to the process of getting a chance to win the SUPERBOWL!

How do they set themselves up each year with the hopes of making it to the SuperBowl?

The first very important aspect of setting a goal to win the SUPERBOWL is having this meaningful target to aim at every year.  The SuperBowl is an NFL players life long passion where every thought, every action, and every decision goes into getting them closer to that very vivid dream. 

You need a SUPERBOWL target in your LI...

Goal Setting to the NOW!

In this blog post, I share an overview of the goal setting concept taught in the book "The One Thing" by Gary Keller. 

If you are new to goal setting, or have not had much luck in the past setting and achieving goals, then I highly recommend reviewing this process.  

It is very simple and helps to break down big goals into more manageable tasks that you can execute every day while knowing that your daily actions are still connected to your bigger goals.

Enjoy!

Thanks

Facebook, Instagram, and various other social media platforms can quickly become a massive distraction to your business.

I believe one of the best analogies about SUCCESS is the bag of popcorn you pop into the microwave. The average bag of popcorn will take about 3 MINUTES to fully pop.

However, have you noticed that for the first 2.5 minutes, it appears as if 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 is happening? You don't even hear a pop of a single kernel well into the 2nd minute of heating up the bag.
