1. What is your vision for you life/career/sport?
Example: I have a vision to change 10 million lives with my programs. To alter lives. When I’m tired, it wakes me up. When I’m bored, it makes me excited. When I’m lost, it reorientates me. Another example: I see myself owning a jet (I love to travel.) I can see it. I see how I’ll feel about myself if I achieve that.
2. Start to believe that it’s possible. Tell yourself, see it, and feel it like it’s real. How much will you visualize it? Can you let go of doubt AND be fueled by that little bit of doubt?

Rule #3: Only 18 Hours of Freedom
LESSON DRILLS AND REMINDERS
1. Commit that every moment is a choice.
2. Sacrifice! Give up fun time for work time!
3. Pick your 18 hours to rest (It’s okay if this is 36 hours as well. Some killers do this.
Rule #4: Be Patient and Impatience
Hit every day hard. Bully the day. And be patient.
Inside you is a killer, but every killer listens to wise old man too. Still, some people confuse the wise old man, patience, for apathy and cowardice.
Bonus: Ignoring the “Wise” Men: Leonidas
In the movie 300, Leonidas the leader of Sparta goes to see the wise old men about fighting the Persians. Leonidas knows the Persians are coming to invade Sparta and wishes to go out and meet them. But the wise men, the seers know as Ephors, deny him permission. Leonidas ignores them and goes to the meet the invading empire. At times, you will have to ignore the “wise” people around you and do what you think is right if you will be a Killer.
