“Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think; whatever you want, be sure that it is what you want; whatever you feel, be sure that it is what you feel.” ~ T.S. Eliot The first question we tackle in the Put Your Dream to the Test mastermind, is this: 💥The Ownership Question: Is my dream really my dream? And pay attention to the nuance: 👉 Is my dream really MY dream? This challenges ownership. Did this come from you... or was it handed to you by parents, society, expectations, or your environment? 👉 Is my dream REALLY my dream? This challenges authenticity. Even if it started as yours... have you fully claimed it? Or are you still waiting for permission, validation, or the “right time”? Same words. Completely different lenses. Both matter. Because the truth is: 🔹You have to be willing to bet on yourself. Nobody else’s belief can replace your own. 🔸You must lead your life, not just accept it. Your choices are your power—use them. 🔹When you love what you do and do what you love, everything changes. Because passion isn’t a bonus, it’s a compass. 🔸The moment you stop comparing your path to others, you reclaim your power. Your race. Your pace. 🔹And sometimes, you have to believe in your vision alone before anyone else sees it. Let’s get real for a second… If success looks good on the outside but feels empty on the inside, then it’s not success. Understanding that most of those "limits" we feel were created, not discovered. (read that again). Your potential is still LARGELY untapped (and that is true no matter how long you've been at this or how accomplished you are). So here’s the shift: When you take ownership of your dream... you commit to your dream. No more “maybe.” No more “someday.” No more living someone else’s version of a life that doesn’t fit. So let me ask you— What’s your level of commitment? On a scale of 1–10: 1 = “It would be nice to have” 10 = “I lose sleep because I want it so bad” Drop your number below 👇 and if you’re bold enough, tell us why.

When I think back to the 80's, one thing that stands out to me was the number of Chuck Norris movies I watched as a kid. Throw your favorite Chuck Norris facts and memes below!!

“Things that matter are difficult. If we want to do things that matter, it's going to take effort.” ~ Simon Sinek Let’s not confuse difficult with impossible. Most people stop at resistance. A few push through it. And the rare ones lean into it — because they understand that difficulty is the signal, not the stop sign. If you’re not growing yourself... If you’re not helping others grow... What’s the point? You’re closer than you think. But “close” only counts if you keep moving. And this is where the COLLECTIVE matters. Not just a group. Not just a community. A standard. A place where average thinking gets challenged. Where effort is expected. Where growth isn’t optional. That’s the Point 8 mindset. It's not for everyone. It never was meant to be. But for those who get it... you already feel the shift happening. Stay in it. 🔥

One of the main reasons @Shannon Koss and I moved to Arizona was to be close to our grandson. (OK our daughter @Sara Thompson too, but any grandparents here in the Crew, know what I'm talking about 😁) In just a short month, we’ve already started building some incredible memories with him... and yesterday, it all came together: MJ’s 4th birthday! 🎉 We kicked things off with a few rounds of bowling at his favorite alley (the kid’s a pretty good bowler... but let’s be honest, it’s really the arcade that wins him over 😎🎳). Then we headed back for a Paw Patrol-themed PAWsome Birthday at his house! 🐾🎂 This is the vibe we’re chasing—life moments that make all the effort worth it. ❤️ What’s one payoff you’ve recently experienced that made all the hustle feel totally worth it? 👇Drop it below
