In today's short coaching episode, I'll teach you Mental Tennis, my most popular tool for changing your thoughts and beliefs. I began coaching this tool in 2014 and it's one of the three tools in the ThinkIT step of my Centrella Method in Hustle Believe Receive. It is by far the simplest and most effective way to get control of your thoughts and change the underlying beliefs, for good.
But as with all things, it will only work if you PRACTICE IT, so begin using it immediately! You can use it for any topic, it works the same with everything from thoughts on relationships, self-worth, self-beliefs, money, career, body image... you name it!
Step 1: is to recognize your thoughts. Believe it or not, most thoughts go unnoticed, they just run in the background noise of our mind, so just hearing them in the first place is a win! It's an exercise in being present.
Step 2: When you hear the thought, ask yourself, does this thought serve me? In other words, do I want to live the outcome of this thought?
Step 3: If the answer is no.. use Mental Tennis.
Watch my REEL on Mental Tennis to get the visual (and be sure to comment your thoughts!)
This tool does two powerful things, 1). It stops the negative thought from manifesting its negative real-life equal. 2). It creates a new positive outcome that didn't exist before. So, be diligent! Practice it with determination and relentlessness. Soon the negative thoughts will recede and the positive ones will begin taking it's place, creating a new belief. That new belief will drive brand-new results.

In today's coaching episode, I'll be sharing my tried and true, 4 Steps for Getting Out of a Funk.
It happens to all of us… and when I’m feeling “out of sorts,” frustrated, down, or like I’m "in a funk," these are the things I do RELIGIOUSLY to move out of it as quickly as possible and get back into the positive energy flow that will manifest my desired outcomes.1️⃣ CHANGE YOUR VIBE: Guided meditations are the fastest way to change your energy. I've linked some of my favorite ones in MY BLOG post2️⃣ CHANGE THE VOICES IN YOUR HEAD: Use the tools in #thinkit (the 2nd step in my book Hustle Believe Receive) to change those negative voices causing and enabling the funk. 3️⃣ FOCUS ON EVERYTHING YOU DO CONTROL: Write a list of everything you control about the situation at the root of the "funk."
4️⃣ FOCUS ON THE DESIRED END RESULT: Lastly, (and this is the key) write out your ideal dream outcome to whatever is bothering you.
Here's the FREE Manifesting Journal I mentioned. And you can grab a copy of my book #Futureboards here.
Read my blog post on this, with extended coach and resources.
Bottom line… we manifest what we focus on. So, if what you’ve been thinking about isn’t making you happy, you probably don’t want to manifest it, right? This is why it's so critical to change your thinking and focus to what you DO WANT instead, and these steps are how you practically do that.

Today I'm talking with my long-time friend, inspiration, Oregon football legend, and 3x Super Bowl Champion, Kenjon Barner. If you read my first book Hustle Believe Receive, then you already know this amazing human and how we first connected back in 2009. He played college football for the University of Oregon and received All-American honors. He was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. Barner won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, New England Patriots , and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Kenjon Barner's Journey to Success
We discuss what success means and how you grow into the best version of yourself. How your dreams evolve, change, and grow with you and the hustle, drive, and determination it takes to make them a reality. I give Kenjon a lot of credit for the personal growth journey I've been on since 2009, because it was some of our first conversations about the power of a positive mindset, visualization, and writing goals down, that eventually led to the methods I teach today.
I've added some of those first meeting videos to this show about mid-way through so be sure to watch for those, and a surprise appearance from my son, Oregon Center #60 Kanen Rossi.
Follow Kenjon @iamkenjonbarner and Kanen @kanenrossi
If you'd like to see the videos of Kanen's special birthday surprise and the first time we met Kenjon in 2009 watch the video of this podcast, it's about 20-min into the show. See photos, videos and Reels of that day and watch the show video HERE

Welcome back to the show!
On today's brief coaching episode, I'm excited to share my work-from-home routine and morning ritual. These routines have been honed over several years and have truly transformed my life. The best part? You won't have to spend years figuring them out; I'm here to help you quickly integrate these habits into your daily schedule.
🌞 Morning Routine:- I set my alarm 30 minutes earlier than I need to, ensuring a stress-free start to the day.- Before even stepping out of bed, I recite three positive mottos to set a positive tone.- A refreshing face splash with cold water kickstarts my morning.- While brushing my teeth, I reaffirm my "I am statements."- A hearty breakfast fuels my day.- I plan my workouts well in advance, scheduling gym classes and blocking out time in my calendar.
💼 Work-From-Home Routine:- Every day, I get fully dressed and "camera ready," even if there are no Zoom meetings on the agenda, ensuring I'm always prepared for whatever the day brings.- My workday begins promptly at 10:30 AM and wraps up no later than 5:00 PM.- A 30-minute meditation break in the afternoon rejuvenates me.- I meticulously schedule tasks and allocate specific time slots for various business activities, from marketing to content creation.- To keep my mind clear, I maintain a "master list" of tasks on my desk, selecting a few to tackle each day.- At 5:00 PM, I shut everything down and close my office door.- A change of clothes and a mood-boosting playlist help me transition into "off-work" mode.
🌙 Evening Routine:- Swiftly transitioning out of "work mode" is crucial to release stress and embrace a new mental state.- I indulge in activities that bring me happiness, like cooking dinner and playing a cheerful playlist.- In the evenings, it's all about unwinding with my favorite shows; work emails and tasks are off-limits.
Here's a REEL I did on my time-blocking.
Remember, mastering boundaries in your life takes dedication and time, but the rewards are incredibly valuable. Join us to optimize your daily routine!

I'm baaaack! After nearly two years away, I'm relaunching my podcast and am excited to bring you this short coaching episode on mastering motivation.
Today I'm sharing the 4 most common reasons why people struggle with getting or staying motivated, and HOW to overcome them. When I conducted a poll on my social media, people ranked these four in this order:
1. Being consistent
2. Getting started
3. Desire (wanting it bad enough)
4. Clarity of vision (what's the best case if this thing happens?)
But the truth is, this list is all upside down, which probably explains why you may have struggled to stay motivated in the first place. If you flip this list and take the coaching advice in this episode you'll see how much easier it is to stay motivated.
1. Get a clear vision -You can't achieve anything if you are not clear on what it is you want and how it will look and feel to live it in real life. In your journal ask yourself these questions:
What is my desired end result? (Be specific)
What is the BEST case scenario of that outcome?
What is the moment I am most looking forward to when it comes true, or when I've achieved it? (Be specific)
How would that feel to be living that moment?
What impact would it have on my life when it's achieved? What if anything would change?
What makes me excited when I think about this thing being accomplished or coming true?
2. Desire. Desire is the ultimate fuel to success. When you want something bad enough, you find a way to make it happen, right? But most people skip this step, or THINK they want it, but haven't actually nurtured the idea long enough, or in the most productive way to create genuine and burning desire.
How bad do I want this to come true?
Why do I care if it does or not?
How will it make my life/me better?
How will it impact the people I love? Or will it?
Do I want it MORE than I want things to remain as they are?
What are the benefits to achieving this goal or living this dream?
3. GET STARTED. When you want something bad enough, allow yourself to daydream about it often, there comes a point when you need to take action!
Here are my 2 tips for getting started:
1. Make a master list of EVERYTHING you can think of that relates to the thing you want to do/accomplish. This is a massive brain dump. Don't categorize it or overthink it, just get it all out of your head and on paper. Keep it someplace where you can easily add to it as you think of new things.
2. Pull 1-3 things off that list every day, and make a daily (Mon-Friday) "Today I Will" list. Make sure these are things you know you can accomplish or make measurable progress in on that day, so that you can cross them off the master list.
4. Consistency.
When you set yourself up for success on the small things, that adds up to BIG wins... you create a positive environment for consistency to grow and thrive naturally. Stack your wins, when you do you'll naturally be so much more motivated to show up regularly and keep doing 1-3 small things each day, those will move the needle. This leads to building confidence, creates momentum and fuels your desire every day.
