Ed Mylett spent his early life in a dysfunctional home living with an alcoholic father who would often get into fist fights — at church, in line at the donut store, and even on the freeway. After his dad embarked on his path to sobriety, he soon became Ed’s first example of what it takes to succeed in life. This ultimately led to Ed’s realization that the challenges we overcome, or the parts of our former selves that we were once ashamed of, are the very things that qualify us to contribute and be in service of others in their search of excellence. Despite this new mindset, Ed found himself aimless after an injury ended his dream of playing major league baseball. Ed had retreated to his family home where he spent his time alongside his childhood Teddy bears while watching episodes of The Maury Show and Jerry Springer. Some thirty-odd years later, Ed is now an incredibly successful serial entrepreneur and one of the most sought-after motivational speakers. Life for Ed is coming full circle as he’s now working on his own show… in the same studio that created episodes of The Maury Show and Jerry Springer he once watched.In this episode, Randall and Ed discuss how important it is not to quit (at least for one more day); how a fear of failure is necessary and even healthy; how to recover from profound disappointments in life; the type of people you should look for (and avoid) when you need advice; why you should operate using visions and dreams, not history and memories; the importance of public speaking and unconventional ways to improve; why you should never base your self-confidence on your abilities or your achievements, and more…Topics include: -How adversity in Ed’s childhood influenced his adult life -How to channel negatively-perceived emotions into success-Why successful people embrace pain-The concept of invisible progress-Becoming an impossibility thinker and a possibility achiever in life-What it means to actually step into your dreams -The power of intention-The difference between being wealthy and being rich-Why confidence comes from preparation, not ability-Why you should focus more on how you want to feel rather than what you want to getResources mentioned:-Ed Mylett Show (podcast)Books mentioned:-The Power of One More, by Ed Mylett-Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill-Power of Intention, by Dr. Wayne DyerSponsors:Sandee | Bliss: BeachesWant to Connect?
