Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. Today we're discussing a powerful topic, defining yourself beyond your struggles. We all face challenges and hardships, but they don't have to define who we are. Let's explore how you can rise above your struggles and shape your identity based on your strengths and aspirations. Every one of us encounters difficulties in life, but whether it's personal setbacks, professional obstacles, or emotional hardships, these struggles can feel overwhelming. However, it's crucial to remember that these moments do not define your worth or your potential. These are just chapters in your

story, not the entire narrative. Guys, I've been through the struggles of entrepreneurship. I've had my ex-girlfriend not believe in me. I had my actual parents not believe in me. They were like, Paul, what are you doing? You're an award-winning detective. You worked so hard to get to the police department. Why are you going ahead and actually trying to start this silly side hustle? And I was like, mom, I know I could do better things in life. I just want to go ahead and actually try. Let me try. Guys, sometimes you just have to go ahead and evolve to a better environment.

So the first step to defining yourself beyond your struggles is to shift your mindset. You got to see the challenges as opportunities for growth rather than barriers. Each struggle is a chance to learn, adapt, and become stronger as a person. Embrace the lessons that can come with hardship and use them to build resilience and character. Focus on your strengths and your achievements. Reflect on the skills and qualities that have helped you overcome

past challenges. Celebrate your victories, no matter how small they may seem. Recognize that you are more than just your struggles. You are to persevere. You are creative and you are determined. Remember, lead by example, guys. And you got to surround yourself with positive influences. Guys, I didn't really level up until I met my very first mentor over 80 years ago. He believed in me. He said, Paul, you are capable of doing everything. You're a very bright young man. I believe in your vision of starting your first side hustle with ATMs, automated teller machines,

and you could become financially free. Guys, within 18 months of me meeting him, I became financially free. So if I could do it, you could do it too. You gotta engage with people who uplift you and support you. Their encouragement can help you see beyond your current difficulties and remind you of your potential. Positive relationships are essential in fostering a mindset that looks beyond the struggles to your possibilities ahead. So you guys got to go ahead and set clear,

achievable goals that align with your passions and your values. When you focus on your aspirations, you shift that energy from what's holding you back to propel you forward. Your goals give you the direction, purpose, helping you navigate through the tough times with a sense of hope and motivation. So look, guys, you got to define yourself beyond your struggles. This involves changing your mindset, focusing on your strengths, surrounding yourself with positive people and setting a meaningful goals guys in your life. Okay. You gotta have those milestones that you want to achieve every single month, every single day, every single week. Your struggles are part of your journey, but they are not part of your destination. You have the power to ship your identity and future based on your aspirations and resilience, guys.

So thank you for tuning in to the Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex, reminding you that your struggles do not define you. Embrace your strength, focus on your goals, and keep pushing forward. Until next time, stay resilient, stay focused, and as always, let's level up. Remember, I always have your six.
