Do you feel like you're stuck in your life not producing the results that you know you're capable of? I'm about to share with you the 18 principles that could transform your entire life.
00:00:11:08 - 00:00:34:04
Unknown
And I've learned these over the last 14 years. I've implemented them in my life. I was living in a 700 square foot mobile home, and I've shifted to now running an organization called Rise Up Kings, where we teach and help thousands of people, in that Christian personal development space and I've built multiple eight, nine, ten figure businesses.
00:00:34:06 - 00:00:44:26
Unknown
And my goal is to give you some mentorship on what you can do to produce more results inside of your life. And so I've broken these down into the 18 principles that I have documented that I live by.
00:00:44:26 - 00:00:51:28
Unknown
I highly recommend documenting these, writing them down, typing them out, whatever you got to do. Because these things could be transformational for you.
00:00:52:01 - 00:00:53:24
Unknown
Let's dive in okay. Great.
00:00:53:24 - 00:01:12:16
Unknown
Here are the 18 principles that I live my life by that have completely transformed everything. I'm going to share them one by one. And my hope is that you get enough principled knowledge to go shift the way that you operate inside of your life, with the goal of producing more results.
00:01:12:16 - 00:01:37:21
Unknown
Principle number one. An articulate man is a dangerous man. My ability to articulate my ideas and communicate them effectively is in direct proportion to the impact that I have on the people around me in this world. And so your ability to communicate effectively plays a big role in the power that you have, in the influence that you have around the people in your life.
00:01:37:23 - 00:02:01:16
Unknown
And so I found it to be true that men that can't communicate their ideas, they struggle creating influence, men that can't, articulate what is happening inside of their head. They, they struggle. They struggle stepping into a new level of power. And so if you want to produce more results, if you want to impact, if you want to lead, figure out how to articulate more clearly.
00:02:01:16 - 00:02:26:29
Unknown
Spend time developing your communication skills. Spend time working on being clear in the way that you communicate versus a jumbled, style of communication. Many men don't know how to articulate the thoughts that are inside of their head, and you can start this out by writing and journaling. It's a powerful way, to start to learn how to articulate your thoughts and then practice speaking them.
00:02:27:02 - 00:03:01:08
Unknown
Practice having a thought and making sure you communicate it clearly and effectively. This will lead to profound results, more influence, and more power to positively impact the world and articulate man is a dangerous man. Proverbs 1821 states, death and life are in the power of the tongue, so the words I use right, they can cut down and destroy, or they can build up and make a huge impact on the world around us.
00:03:01:10 - 00:03:21:02
Unknown
Life happens for me, not to me. So everything that happens inside of my life, God is going to find a way to work it out for the good. That means losing somebody that's close, losing a job, having a key employee leave, a car accident, health problems, whatever it may be.
00:03:21:02 - 00:03:49:09
Unknown
Romans 828 states, in all things God works out for the good of those that love him, who have been called according to his purpose. That's a promise for Christians that in all things, God's going to work it out for the good. And that is a beautiful promise that as a Christian, you can lean on that, even though you may not know in the moment why something is happening, happening you can trust that is, it is happening for you versus happening to you.
00:03:49:10 - 00:04:14:18
Unknown
How do I know that somebody has a victim language at some of our events that we run? Any time I hear somebody saying, this happened to me, the economy, the business is happening to me. My that fight we just had is happening to me. When, when, when you feel like life is happening to you, you're going victim. When you feel like life is happening for you, you're in a whole different mindset shift, a shift of responsibility and a shift of power.
00:04:14:20 - 00:04:28:03
Unknown
So life isn't happening to you biblically. Romans 828 life is happening for you. The darkest times. God is going to find a way to work it out for the good.
00:04:28:03 - 00:04:32:27
Unknown
God is sovereign. So his hand is in everything that happens inside of this earth.
00:04:33:01 - 00:04:59:00
Unknown
And so biblically, right, God is in ultimate control of everything that's happening. And that can be a powerful, understanding in truth, if we know like what is God's intention though? So Jeremiah 2911 states, for I know the plans, I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
00:04:59:02 - 00:05:23:02
Unknown
So God's intention is for hope is for a future is for prosperity inside of your life, right? His hope is to give you good things and good gifts, right? He does not want you to suffer. That is not his plan. He may allow suffering. He may allow challenges that refine us. But his plan is not that you are a suffering human being throughout life.
00:05:23:08 - 00:05:41:17
Unknown
So his intention is for good things for our lives. So if God is in control and biblically, his intention is that he wants good things for us. It's a beautiful truth that we can rest on. So God is sovereign, so he's an ultimate control. And so I don't have to worry. I don't have to worry. I don't have to have fear.
00:05:41:17 - 00:05:54:15
Unknown
I can trust that God is in control and he's handling everything that needs to get handled. And I'm doing my part. But I don't have to worry about the future. I don't have to worry about anything because he's an ultimate control.
00:05:54:15 - 00:06:16:28
Unknown
The responsibility mindset this is critical. So I have the states I have some level of responsibility for every single thing that happens inside of my life. Everything. Now that could be responsibility like you have some part to play in what happens. Or it could be your responsibility to make sure that you heal after the fact.
00:06:17:00 - 00:06:40:07
Unknown
Either way, you have some level of responsibility that happens for everything inside of your life. And so I have a belief that I'm responsible. So I may not be at fault, right? I may not have 100% ownership and be completely at fault, but I have some level of responsibility. If I'm married and my wife cheats on me, I have some level of responsibility for that.
00:06:40:07 - 00:07:00:14
Unknown
I chose to marry her. If I have an employee and they steal from me, I have some level of responsibility for what happened because I hired that person. If I have a kid, everything that happens with that child for the rest of their lives, I chose to bring that human being onto this planet. I have some level of responsibility.
00:07:00:16 - 00:07:27:27
Unknown
So when we realize that we actually have responsibility in our lives, we're not a victim to our life. There's power that comes when you believe that life just keeps happening to you and that you don't have responsibility, a level of responsibility for the things that happen inside of your life. You're powerless, but a powerful man is, or a woman is a man that realizes that he has some level of responsibility for everything that happens in his life, therefore, he has the ability to change it.
00:07:27:29 - 00:07:56:27
Unknown
God has given us agency to make changes, to shift things, to create our world. He's given that ability to us. And so we have to realize we have a level of responsibility for everything that happens, and therefore we can change. So much of our future. God is ultimately in control, right? But he's given us agency to make decisions, to shift things, to influence the people and the circumstances in our lives.
00:07:57:00 - 00:07:59:13
Unknown
I am responsible.
00:08:01:14 - 00:08:28:26
Unknown
And the next one, this is one of my favorite pain is the path. Comfort is the enemy. So I have a core belief that pain, the challenge is the thing that we should be leaning into, not running away. Right. Pain is the thing that will get us to where we want to go. Not purposely inflicting unnecessary pain, but getting comfortable with pain inside of your life will serve you.
00:08:28:29 - 00:08:52:08
Unknown
Was Jesus searching out a life of comfort? No, he was not. He was leaning into his mission, which happened to be a mission where there would be lots of conflict and lots of pain and difficulties. And so inside of our life, the more we can get comfortable with pain, the easier life becomes. The more fulfilling life becomes, the more impactful life can become.
00:08:52:10 - 00:09:16:11
Unknown
But not if you're running away from pain. So pain is actually the path. Comfort is the enemy. So I want to challenge. I challenge myself to lean into pain on a daily basis, whether that be with a cold plunge, cold shower, right, uncomfortable sauna, a hard workout, whatever it may be. I want to continuously train my body to be comfortable with pain.
00:09:16:14 - 00:09:40:26
Unknown
I'm either growing or dying. This is a key principle in every area of life. There's no middle ground, there's no homeostasis. There's there's I'm either growing or I'm decaying. So in my marriage, I'm either making progress and leveling up, or there's a slow decay that's happening inside of my marriage. In business, I'm either making progress or the business is slowly decaying.
00:09:41:02 - 00:10:05:18
Unknown
So I'm either growing in my life or I'm dying or decaying. And so if if you understand this principle, you're going to choose to be intentional in all of the areas of your life, in your faith, with your family and your fitness and in your finances. So my goal is to continuously grow, because I know if I'm not growing, I'm automatically in a decay process.
00:10:05:25 - 00:10:08:05
Unknown
You're either growing or you're dying.
00:10:08:05 - 00:10:34:28
Unknown
Strong storms expose weak infrastructure. So the storms in life are valuable because they show you and they expose the areas of our lives that are weak and ineffective. The storms of life will uncover the areas that you need to work on. God allows things inside of our life to expose what we need to improve, and how we can become more effective and better.
00:10:35:01 - 00:10:59:11
Unknown
I remember I was going through a challenge inside of my marriage, and I was blaming it on my wife, and this is early on, and what I found out was that the challenge had exposed my weakness when it came to lust. And so the lust that I was experiencing became very exposed inside of this challenge, inside of this conflict, in this storm.
00:10:59:13 - 00:11:21:20
Unknown
And it allowed me, though, to go and work on it and to go focus on improving the relationship that I had with lust, the weakness that showed up when it came to lust. So these storms, God allows them because they expose the areas that we need to work on. So if we look at a storm as something negative, right, it'll be just that, something negative, something that blocks you from what you want.
00:11:21:27 - 00:11:43:24
Unknown
But if we look at a storm as an opportunity for refinement, that's what it'll do. It will actually refine you. It will expose the rocks and the areas that need to be formed and need to be refined. Also, strong storms expose weak infrastructure.
00:11:43:24 - 00:11:57:10
Unknown
You get more of what you focus on. There's a part of the brain called the reticular activating system. And what this part of the brain does is it deletes, distorts, and generalizes information. You have so much information coming into your brain at every moment.
00:11:57:10 - 00:12:20:15
Unknown
And it's it deletes it and it tells your your conscious mind what to focus on. And so what you focus on, you tend to see more of. So if you're in business, if you are focusing on all of the challenges, all of the struggles, the employee issues, the client issues, guess what you will see. You will continuously see more of those things.
00:12:20:22 - 00:12:41:10
Unknown
If you focus on what's not working in your life, you will see more of what's not working in your life. However, if you shift your focus and start to see what is working and that's where gratitude focusing on what you're grateful for tends to rewire your brain to focus on what and to see gratitude and areas of gratitude in all of your life.
00:12:41:12 - 00:12:57:21
Unknown
If you can shift that, you can start to get more of what you do want inside of your life. If you see the things that are that where you're winning in life, you'll see more of the wins inside of your life. And so I've used this and I tend to use this with thoughts. Negative thoughts attract other negative thoughts.
00:12:57:24 - 00:13:18:18
Unknown
They literally pull them in. It's like a magnet. So have you ever noticed or ever had one thought that started a spiral? And then it led to another thought and another thought and another thought. And that's you spiraled all the way down. We call that negative stacking. You can also positive stack, which is focusing on positive thoughts. And it tends to attract other like thoughts.
00:13:18:20 - 00:13:22:12
Unknown
The thoughts of gratitude attract more thoughts of gratitude.
00:13:22:12 - 00:13:36:28
Unknown
So I get more of what I focus on. And again, and this is true in our faith, we're focusing on God and studying Scripture. You will see more Scripture and see more of God in everything that you do. It could look like the work that you focus on in business and the results in business.
00:13:36:29 - 00:13:43:28
Unknown
It could be in your marriage focusing on what you like and what is working. So what I focus on, I get more of.
00:13:43:28 - 00:14:02:26
Unknown
What I track improves tracking, creates focus and focus changes behavior. So what you focus on you tend to do more of. And so when I'm tracking something I look at it. If I'm tracking my workouts. If I'm tracking what I'm eating every single day, my focus is on those things.
00:14:02:29 - 00:14:24:13
Unknown
And so if I'm tracking something, I will tend to want to produce better results. And so I've done this in my business. So whatever I'm tracked, whatever whatever area of my business I want to improve. Guess what I do. I start tracking it. I have a scoreboard is what I call it. I throw a metric up there if I want to improve over time, hours or reduce overtime hours, I'm going to start tracking over time hours.
00:14:24:16 - 00:14:44:25
Unknown
If I want to improve leads, the amount of leads that come in, I'm going to start tracking leads on a daily or a weekly basis. Whatever it is I want to improve, I track it, and just from tracking it, I see improvement because my focus is on what I am tracking.
00:14:44:25 - 00:15:02:15
Unknown
My associations determine my success. We've all heard that. You may have heard you are the average of the five five people that you spend the most time with. So what happens is you start to adopt their mindsets. You start to adopt their habits.
00:15:02:17 - 00:15:22:25
Unknown
You start to adopt their behavior ideas. So you are an average of the five people that you spend the most time with. So if you want to level up, level up your associations. What does that look like for me, I'm always searching out new mentors. Actually, today I shot a message over to a billionaire, a guy that I had met, and I said, hey, let's connect.
00:15:22:25 - 00:15:41:02
Unknown
Right? So I'm going to start to step to being in relationship and association with this guy, right? He's done something incredible. He's built billion dollar organizations. And so I want to be around that guy. I want to adopt some of his thoughts, some of the way he he operates, some of his habits when it comes to money and building organizations.
00:15:41:05 - 00:15:59:13
Unknown
So who in what area do you want to level up in? So go find people that are where you want to be. That could be mentors. That could be friends. Go find people that are where you want to be and start to spend time with them. And that could look like asking somebody, hey, do you want to connect and go hang out?
00:15:59:14 - 00:16:16:10
Unknown
Do you want to grab breakfast? And even asking people for mentorship, I have no problem asking. And there's risk to that, right? They could say no, but go and take a risk and ask somebody if they're willing to be your mentor. Hey, would you be willing to mentor me? Hey, you're exceptional on the fitness side of things.
00:16:16:12 - 00:16:32:02
Unknown
Would you be willing to give me some pointers and spend some time with me that could look like, you know, breakfast twice a month? So you are an average of your five associations. Your associations determine your success.
00:16:32:05 - 00:16:57:29
Unknown
This is a good one. What you resist persists. What you resist persists. What happens when we tend to resist? And they teach us in martial arts, right. If you're pushing up against somebody, the way that you will get drained, the faster, especially in jiu jitsu, is to resist everything that is happening to you. It'll burn you out.
00:16:58:01 - 00:17:16:09
Unknown
So what they teach you is to be in flow. They teach you to be able to flow with the moves, to allow the person to come, and you move with them versus always pushing back on them. Because what happens is the things that we resist in life, they tend to keep showing up. If we're resisting the fact that we don't think we're getting paid enough.
00:17:16:12 - 00:17:40:14
Unknown
That'll keep showing up. If we resist the fact that our kids are being, difficult, they're going to keep being difficult. Like what we resist, it tends to continue showing up. So what's an alternative? The alternative is surrender. It's learning to embrace what is. It's learning to embrace the things that happen inside of our lives versus always resisting it.
00:17:40:17 - 00:17:58:11
Unknown
Right. So what does that look like, man, if you're mayor, if your wife is doing something that you don't like or your husband instead of always fighting back and pushing back against it, what if you learn to embrace them the way they were? What if you what if you learn to just embrace? What is the fact that they're doing that?
00:17:58:11 - 00:18:19:02
Unknown
Or their clothes that are on the ground or right, that they're maybe showing up a little bit late or whatever it may be? Learn to embrace it, and you'll notice that there can be a shift that doesn't that doesn't mean, you know, you're getting walked all over and taken advantage of. You still set boundaries, but you can you can tell the internal resistance that happens versus someone that, versus being surrendered to something.
00:18:19:02 - 00:18:24:22
Unknown
You can still set a boundary and be surrendered to whatever happens, happens.
00:18:24:22 - 00:18:35:02
Unknown
Resistance creates emotion and it can waste your energy. So don't resist, because what you resist tends to persist.
00:18:35:02 - 00:18:56:14
Unknown
The growth mindset. So there's a book written, called The Growth Mindset by Carol Dweck. And it contrasts the growth mindset and the fixed mindset. So the growth mindset states that every situation that you enter, you have the ability to learn and grow and become better every time you try.
00:18:56:16 - 00:19:20:09
Unknown
The fixed mindset states that you have limited capacity to learn and grow and and limited capacity to increase your intelligence. You have fixed intelligence, so don't enter situations where you could fail or there could be failure that happens. So only enter situations where you know you can do a good job out where there's no where. Failure is not an option.
00:19:20:12 - 00:19:40:28
Unknown
So my son, he, very early on we saw this. We saw and I believe it's because we praised him too much on all of the good things that he did that he tend he tended to only do things where he know he could do it well. So if something showed up where it was going to be a very difficult challenge, he would choose out.
00:19:41:00 - 00:20:00:22
Unknown
And so we're like, Brenna, why you choose now? He just he knew that there was a risk of failure and he would just rather not try than to fail. That's a fixed mindset. We've been working with him over the years to break free from that, to have him step in a new arenas where he could fail. But he knows that if he fails and keeps practicing, he will eventually get good at that specific thing.
00:20:00:24 - 00:20:20:14
Unknown
That's the growth mindset. It's the belief that if I keep trying and keep putting effort towards something, I will level up and become better at it in almost everything in life. So do you have a growth mindset where you are constantly leaning into things where you could fail, but you know that you're going to grow from it? Or do you tend to protect yourself and stay into a stay?
00:20:20:16 - 00:20:25:18
Unknown
Stay in a arena of comfort where there's limited opportunities for failure.
00:20:26:02 - 00:20:49:17
Unknown
Vision leads to long term success. Proverbs 2918 states where there is no vision, the people will perish. And so what I found is that when I get clear on a vision, there's power inside that vision, and that power pulls me toward that vision. And so when I have a vision, my team is able to live into that vision.
00:20:49:25 - 00:21:15:17
Unknown
So it creates more power. And so power is the ability to influence people and the circumstances around us. And so a vision creates power. And so when I have a clear vision, I know where I'm going. I can create alignment with my team. And it propels me toward that vision. So where there is no vision, no you will wander any road will get you to a goal that is not clarified.
00:21:15:19 - 00:21:31:15
Unknown
Any road will get you there. And so when you have a vision, though, there's a limited amount of roads, there's a limited amount of options that can get you to that place. And so we want to have the clear vision so we know which road we can take to get there. The vision will lead to long term success.
00:21:31:19 - 00:21:47:25
Unknown
Now you can create success without a vision just by taking action. But long term success, long term motivation, long term inspiration happens when you are clear on where you want to go in your life.
00:21:47:25 - 00:22:11:05
Unknown
Masculinity is from God. This is biblical. God created Adam, right? He created masculinity. So therefore masculinity is a good thing. It is never a bad thing if masculinity, or if there's something that a man does right, that is aggressive in nature that causes harm. That's not masculinity. Masculinity is always good.
00:22:11:08 - 00:22:36:20
Unknown
So my favorite definition of masculinity is masculinity is to protect those who are vulnerable. Right. So it's my role as a masculine man and a principle that I live by as my role is to protect the vulnerable. So to protect those around me and the steward them and to shepherd them in a diligent manner. So my role is to protect them not only physically, but emotionally, mentally, spiritually.
00:22:36:23 - 00:22:56:20
Unknown
Right? My role is to protect those around me. And so if I make a decision that harms somebody else, I'm out of alignment with masculinity. I am out of alignment with my role as a man. So this principle has shifted the way I operate inside of my life and the way I see people, the way I see other human beings.
00:22:56:22 - 00:23:06:09
Unknown
Right? My goal is not to get a one up on them. My goal is to protect them. My goal is to steward them. My goal is to shepherd the people that are inside of my life.
00:23:06:09 - 00:23:30:03
Unknown
Comfort creates complacency. The more comfortable I become in my life, the less willing I am to do hard things and therefore the less success I will create. So I talked about this in an earlier principle about comfort as the enemy. But comfort creates complacency and so I have to be aware that as I create success, that I don't get too comfortable,
00:23:30:03 - 00:23:46:04
Unknown
So my my goal is to practice becoming uncomfortable on a regular basis. It's a practice. Like, I can have nice things, but if my nice things rule me, if they become my outcome, if they become my aim, and I relax with these nice things, I'm not going to be doing God's work.

God's work and expanding the kingdom is difficult, right? It's living. The Christian life should be difficult. If it's very easy, you're not taking risks. I'm not taking risks. Therefore, I want to stay in a state of enjoying life, having pleasures, but not having too much pleasure and too much comfort.

I control the meaning of life, so I control the meanings that happen inside of the circumstances of my life. Nobody else controls those. So there are two things. There's facts and there's the meanings. I give those facts. The stories that I give those facts. So I am crystal clear that I create the stories and the meanings that happen with the facts and the circumstances in my life.
00:24:37:12 - 00:25:01:08

And those meanings dictate the emotions that I feel. So if I'm feeling depressed, sad, angry, it's all because of a meaning or a story that I gave something. So I determine those meanings. They're very rarely any inherently true meanings. We create. We add the meaning to the things that happen inside of our life. Somebody passing away. What does that mean?

You losing your job? What does that mean, losing a key employee? What does that mean, a health problem? What does that mean? That meaning will determine the emotion that I feel and will determine my life experience. So I'm very conscious of the meanings I make every day. And we make meet. We create stories every day. Your buddy doesn't call you back.

What meaning are you creating, right? God doesn't give you the the answer to the prayer that you were looking for. What meaning are you creating? So we want to be a aware of the meanings and then be we want to reframe. We want to shift the meanings. If it's not serving us and our relationship with other people. So we control the meanings inside of our lives.

Do for one what I wish to do for many, do for one what I wish to do. For many. I was, I was having a conversation with a mentor, and I just, I just I was very, I was distraught because I had this huge vision of the impact that I wanted to have in men, and I wasn't getting there fast enough.
00:26:07:06 - 00:26:21:09

And so we shared this with me. Do, for one, what I wish to do for many. And so he said, okay, if you can't do it for that large group of people, could you go do it for one person? And that was a challenge because I had this big vision of impact in a huge way, and I still do.
00:26:21:12 - 00:26:36:09

However, if I'm not willing to do it for the one guy, am I really going to be committed to doing it for the many? And so now my outcome is if I if I desire to make an impact, to love many right now, I need to go love one. If I want to lead many, I need to go lead one very well.
00:26:36:09 - 00:26:55:26

I need to go lead my wife and my kids well, I need to go. If I want to give away a ton of money, how about I go give money away to that one homeless person? So focusing more on the one Jesus worked with, the one so many times. Yeah, we can get so obsessed with massive impact. I'm going to go change the world.
00:26:55:29 - 00:27:10:16

What are the principles that you were going to choose to live your life by? A principled man or woman creates a different set of results than somebody who, doesn't have a value system or principles in place. So your principles can define they can they can be the guardrails that keep you, on track. They can be the things that allow you to make decisions more effectively.

Right. If you have principles in place, they will guide you. If you have no principles in place, you'll be you'll be guided by culture and life. And so we want our principles primarily to come from Scripture. And in the script. The Bible is filled with an abundance of principles in it in regards to faith, family, fitness and finances, a ton of financial principles.

So I want to challenge you, get clear on what your principles are, and then start to live these principles out on a daily basis, all for the intention of living a life that glorifies God.
