“We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.” – Galileo Galilei
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Sorry this one’s a little late – was having major technical issues throughout the day with some other things. I just want you all to remember that every post I write is not to teach you guys things – but to help you expand your minds to unlock your imaginations, realize your desires, and actualize your dreams. Success both starts, and ends, in you. No one else.
If anything I’m just here to remind you of that…and maybe speed along the process in any way I can. 😉
Speaking of speed up the process…go ahead and check out my official site and subscribe for a free eBook – it has a lot of what I discuss covered in it and MORE. It’s human nature to want more – so go ahead, indulge yourself… 🙂
Stay awesome.

Musings Episode 28: Take The Leap…
So a few weeks ago I touched on hesitation and why it can be detrimental to success…well, once you’re past the hesitation phase – there’s one more thing many people go through but never really discuss.
Procrastination doesn’t necessarily mean laziness. It can also stem from fear of failure, and perfectionism. Many people when building their road to success can sometimes hit this wall. It’s often procrastination that leads to many people’s downfalls even if they’ve made it over the hesitation hurdle.
Yet in the end hesitation and procrastination end up with the same result – not getting things done in a timely manner or not getting things done at all. This is what you want to avoid – this is what you want to train yourself to eliminate from virtually every aspect of your life. If you’re serious about success – this should be taken into consideration and avoided just as much as hesitation.
Both leave room for missed opportunities.
In various aspects of your life, procrastination can tear you down, and bring you right back to square one. The objective is to remove this kind of habit from your mental framework completely.
I’m a perfectionist. Meaning when I do something – I do it well, and do it to the maximum extent of quality possible. Sometimes, when I get overwhelmed with things, mentally I become a little hazy. The easiest way to get over it I’ve found?
Break everything into steps – focus on the big picture, but break everything into steps.
A book is comprised of a bunch of words, but in the end it’s still the bigger picture – a book.
Remember – it’s about focusing on the end result – not the means to the ends. Focus on that too much and you’ll find yourself lost and out in the cold, wandering (and not in a good way).
I’m not saying dwell on all the little details either. Think of it like this – you get up in the morning. Usually, everyone has their own little routine. Wake up, stretch, make bed, wash face, brush teeth, shower, moisturize, hair, get dressed, etc.
It’s this whole intricate routine you’ve had to learn since childhood, yet you don’t even think about it because you’re on auto pilot almost the entire time….but this whole routine, is still broken into little steps and categories.
Wash face, brush teeth, shower, moisturize – these all take place in the bathroom. Getting dressed, shirts, shoes, etc – all takes place in the wardrobe/bedroom. Eat breakfast, make lunch – all in the kitchen. You see the pattern?
The best way to start is by breaking everything into categories – and then breaking objectives into little groups of 3’s. I’ve always found that by doing things 3 at a time – I blow past my deadlines with flying colors. Many believe multitasking is the way to go – I for one am completely against it. In the short run, it may pay off – but in the long run it can leave a lot of loose ends, a lot of things unfinished, and in actual fact be detrimental to your mental health.
Instead, I recommend exercising your mental health positively. Go ahead and head over to my official site and subscribe for a free eBook that can actually improve and enhance your thinking, gearing it more towards success and less on juggling 5 tables and a walrus all at once mentally.
By breaking things into 3’s, you’re doing what I call setting mini milestones. Milestones are much clearer, shorter, and smaller goals toward larger ones. Thinking of it like this, makes the work much easier and the path much more transparent. Getting one of these three things done at a time, one after the other, makes you feel more accomplished thus motivating you to do more.
…and if you’re motivated to do more, you’ll procrastinate less. It’s that simple.
The more you learn how to strategize without putting a strain on your brain, the more confidence you have in yourself. The more confidence you have in yourself, the more you’re willing and ready to dive head first into all your goals. The more willing and ready you are to do that, the more you’ll act on ideas when they come to you – and the more you act on ideas that come to you, the more you sign and seal your name for success in anything you do.
This is how you let go. Put things into action properly with a decent game plan and perseverance, and watch the end goals flourish.
Stay awesome.

For The Weekenders: Party Like A Rockstar…
You read right, this weekend is gonna be all about one thing – partying hardcore. With these three lineups, come Sunday you’ll be sure to have numerous stories that begin with “Remember that time when…” and end in “that was seriously the best thing ever.”
The Warm Up
Sushi. Tequila. Rock bands. Oh how awesome it would be to have all three under one roof.
But wait – you can.
Yes, dreams really do come true.
Where…? Well, it ain’t exactly Kansas.
Try Miami.
As in, Barezzito Miami.
Barezzito is a one of a kind, genuine, unique place to be. If you wanna kick off your weekend right – the first thing you’ll do is hit up Barezzito. With an epic menu, choice alcohol and awesome music, this is one place you want to be.
So your night will start out like this. You ring up a few friends – you start suggesting the usual spots…
Sumi Yakitori? Naa..did that two weeks ago.
Kapow Noodle Bar? Happened last Wednesday.
Ceviché? Been there more times than I can count.
Then it hits you….like a big slippery fish fresh off the boat, you see the light.
In all its glorious, liquor filled glory. Here’s a hankie for that tear of joy.
You and your friends decide it’s time to do it up big – so you rent that GT-R you’ve been eyeing all summer and tear through the highways before making your way over to the best spot in town and casually tossing your keys over to the valet.
You shuffle over to the bar, and check out their extensive, choice drink selection. Ideally, if you’ve brought the object of your desire along now would be the perfect time to order up that drink they’ve never heard of but dying to try. Instruct the bar tender carefully – you only get one shot at this.
From there you grab the menu so you can pace yourself for a slow drink marathon with live music and lively dancing henceforth. I suggest the Green Papaya Salad with Negimaki to follow – leave enough room for Ginger Creme Brulee, and when you find yourself sobering up from all the food you’ve been trying to shove down your neck, grab another 1, 2, or 5 at the bar while nibbling on some signature rolls to keep the stomach healthy and the buzz balanced.
This Friday, there’s only one place to be, one place to party, and one place to see – Barezzito. Attend, enjoy, and share. There’s always something to do.
The Workout
Hoping you didn’t close the bar down Friday night and are rested up and ready to go – that was just the beginning. Now it’s time to fulfill that want of yours that you were itching for weeks ago, and finally getting the chance to explore now.
So picture this:
Boats.
Casinos.
Dancing.
VIP style quarters.
It’s about time you stopped looking at this stuff in the movies and started living it in real life. Get off that couch and get into your best outfit – your Saturday night is about to get pretty insane…..ly awesome.
Mother of God….it’s the holy grail.
…and by awesome I mean awesome before it was even donned a word. There’s only one way to go about this night – so read carefully.
Location: Port Miami
Transportation: Boat….okay I lied…cruise ship.
Time: 9:30. No arriving fashionably late here – unless you like trying to jump a boat only to fall straight into god knows how many feet of water.
Money: Yes. Bring about tres….cientos. Trust me – it’s worth it.
Seriously….shut up and get on the goddamn boat.
So obviously after the words “cruise ship” you can imagine how massive this “boat party” is. With just $20 round trip to get in, you get to party starting at 10 p.m. all the way until the crack of dawn. It’s like Asia all over again…except in Miami…on a boat.
Book your own cabin for a modest $60, sign up for dinner, and bring enough friends to order decent bottles of “I’ll have whatever doesn’t give me a hangover in the morning…because I’m going to get sloshed probably around 2 after dancing my ass off.” The perks and activities of Club Bimini will blow your mind probably as fast as the Kamikaze you’ll order at the bar. See now why I was trying to tell you to rest up all day Saturday? It’s good to listen to me when it comes to things like this…
With a live DJ and a casino on board, you could easily play the night out to a perfect tune – good drinks, private cabin, live DJ, casino games you’re actually good at – and the breathtaking view of Miami’s skyline not to mention the endless ocean you’ll be gazing out over.
Never steered you wrong before…won’t steer you wrong on this one. Club Bimini aboard Bimini Superfast. It’s time to party….hard. Book your spot now – and get a better look over at World Red Eye.
The Cool Down
Well then….after all that sinfully good madness I’d say it’s time for a cool down.
Sort of.
Rego style.
…and if you know anything about me – especially in fitness – a cool down is really never a cool down…but an excuse for extending the fun. Next and final stop…w xyz….bar.
I know – their website sucks – but don’t let that fool you , let’s move on. This place reminds me a lot – and I do mean a lot of a place I often frequented in the UK, before it unpredictably shut down. From the decor, to the lighting, it simulates it almost to the tee.
I know it’s not.
I know it’s named after the end of the alphabet.
But it just feels so at home, and that’s what I like about it.
Warm, cozy, fuzzy, and neon light filled – this is one of my many happy places…and it’s about to be yours, too.
I’m a sucker for things like this…a smart sucker – but a sucker. I love the clean lines of this place, and the well thought out furniture and layout they implemented. If there’s one place to wind down in on a Sunday night – this is it.
Don’t get too crazy with the drinks – you’re winding down – not up. Order a simple G&T with a splash of lime, shaken & chilled, not stirred, pick a good spot to sit down and engage in intimate conversation –
9/10 says you’re friends will probably be either at home sleeping the prior night off or too weak from hangovers too make it out here.
Located in Aloft Miami Hotel, this is the perfect time to have a seat outside on their terrace, master your charm, and stuff your face to make up for all the nutrients you lost from the sheer amount of alcohol consumed the night before…while you’re at it though don’t forget to, you know – work on your conversation skills. Obviously.
Party like a rockstar.

“Don’t let the….
Musings: Quote Wednesdays….
“Don’t let the fear of striking out hold you back.” – Babe Ruth
Couldn’t have said it better…the whole point of life is to take chances – but if you don’t believe in yourself, you can take all the chances you want and still not succeed. It begins with yourself. Fear is fine – everyone has a little bit of it, even though it’s False Evidence Appearing Real.
It’s alright – it’s how the feeling of conquering something comes about…but whatever you’re doing, I want you to think like this – would you rather step up to the plate, and at least try your hand at hitting a home run – or not step up to the plate at all, and never know if you have it in you?
I’d take the latter – any day.
Stay confident.
