Dedication, discipline and brutally hard work. That is the secret. Everyone wants hacks and shortcuts and instant gratification. They want it yesterday. I’m all for applying the 80/20 rule, when appropriate, and eliminating everything that isn’t essential. That’s how you get meaningful work done. But it’s still work. It’s called work for a reason. Just because you simplify or focus on a few important things doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy. And you can’t blindly apply the 80/20 rule to everything. It just doesn’t work that way. If twenty hours of practice per week are required to be excellent… continue reading.

When it comes to nutrition we all get suckered. We all get confused and misled. I’ve been there. People try to make things more complicated than they should be. I’ve been guilty of that too. Next thing ya know you’re putting a stick of butter in your coffee, cutting all carbs, and running in fear past every Mexican joint you see because you think even coming near a bean is going to cause extreme joint pain. It’s all very confusing and stressful. It shouldn’t and doesn’t have to be that way. In the latest episode of The Jay Ferruggia Show… continue reading.

Too many times we’re motivated to do things for the wrong reasons. Our focus is internal instead of external. Or maybe fear is holding us back in some way. I address this and much more on the latest Jay Ferruggia Show Podcast (formerly known as Renegade Radio). Some of it might make you a little uncomfortable. And that’s a good thing. You need to be uncomfortable on a regular basis. It’s part of the growth process and getting better. It’s all about constant evolution and getting better every day. Today’s Podcast Topics Include: An important visualization exercise to help guide… continue reading.

Today’s Podcast Topics Include: I give my thoughts… continue reading.

Chris’ latest book, The Happiness of Pursuit, hits stores today. In this episode, we discuss his new book, and his reflections and lessons he learned traveling to every country on the earth. Today’s Podcast Topics Include: How to deal with and conquer your fears The… continue reading.
