The mental game is everything. How you approach your life mentally - your attitude - will have more impact on your success than your physical tools and abilities. In life, there are many people on both sides of the achievement spectrum: Those who perform well above their means, and those who achieve well below what their "tools" would suggest. How each of these people approaches the game of life, mentally, is the reason for each success or failure. What I am going to do with this book is touch on all the issues.

Have you ever seen a basketball player who possessed a solid skill set for the game - ball handling, scoring, a good feel for how to play - but mentally had nothing at all? This is the player who could dominate… if he had the mind to. He could be the top scorer and be the main difference between winning and losing for his team. But... that’s the problem: something in his mental game is just… missing. As you advance in levels of basketball - and especially if you ascend to the professional level - know this: The game becomes less about skill and more about mentality.

No one knows how to turn unrelenting self-belief into hard-and-fast career results better than Dre Baldwin.

On the first day, you feel great. New clothes, new sneakers, new trainer, a 20-session pack of boot camp classes... new everything! The workout is tough. You’re out of shape. But it’s fun. You drag yourself to the mirror afterward and say, “I’m doing this!” The second day... There’s soreness in body parts that you didn't know could be sore. Your body is reminding you how long it’s been since it worked this hard. The third day... Things are...different.

Humans are social creatures; we share. Verbal communication played a significant role in all your biggest life achievements. The sexiest guy or girl you've dated. The most money you ever made.

And how did they become so close and important to you? From conversation!

“I want to start blogging/making YouTube videos, but I don’t know where to start. I don’t know what I would even talk about.
