There's already over 550 people in this group ready to change their lives. I'm so excited. And when the doors close, the doors close, and there's absolutely no chance of joining after the doors close because we're going to be concentrating a hundred percent into growing ourselves. And I will be giving daily coaching to every single person or the entire group for the entire 60 days as well. So if you're interested, go to ironmind60.com. That's all I have to say about that today. I want to talk about why now is the time of your life

right now is the perfect moment. Every moment of your entire life has always been the perfect moment. And what I mean by that, let me actually reverse that and say, there will never really be a perfect moment to start whatever it is that you're looking to start, to start that relationship, to start that business, to start that way of thinking, because now has always been the perfect time. There's no perfect time in the future because to be completely honest with you, the future is not guaranteed. And I'm okay with talking about death. I actually like to talk about death. And I think, you know, I'm not weird or morbid in any sort of way, but you know, the very first person that I ever knew in my life that passed away was my father when I was 15 years old. And it gave me the,

the, let me actually take a step back. I remember if I'm going to be completely honest with you guys, I remember my father's funeral and I was 15 years old. I'd never spoken on stage. I was really, really, really, really, really, really shy at that time. And, uh, and I remember going through the whole funeral feeling like it wasn't real. And then, you know, there was no plans for anybody else to talk. All of the plans were already figured out. And the, uh, the guy who was running the funeral, I don't even know what the hell the name would be for the people who run the funeral, uh, funeral director guy doing the sermon. I don't know who the hell he was, to be honest with you. He says, anybody else have any last words? And I remember putting my

hand up and I was like, oh crap. I just put my hand up to speak in front of everybody. And I remember getting up and speaking in front of people. And I remember what I said. And I remember, you know, saying that, that this situation, my dad would be okay with this if he knew how much good was going to come from it. Right. And I think the first thing that it did besides me started the podcast, doing what I'm doing now, this entire path, I would have never thought 17 years ago, 18 years ago that this would be what I'm doing. But I remember sitting there thinking to myself, this is real. I remember walking out of the funeral home and thinking, that's the last time that I'm ever going to see my dad. Cause you know, obviously it was open

casket. And I remember thinking that, and it was, it, it set in when I walked out, like I literally clear as day can still see myself walking out of the side door after talking with my uncle Tom and thinking to myself, this is it. Like I'll never see him again. And I think that it is okay. I actually think that it's beneficial to think about death very often because you only get one of these. We always act like we have a second at bat. Like we have a second chance of this life. Like we're just basically practicing right now. This isn't a practice. This is the real game. You've been in the real game your entire life. So I have a couple of questions for you.

When are you going to change? If you're not going to change now, when the hell are you going to change? When is it going to happen? When are you going to stop making excuses for why your life isn't the way that you want it to be? When are you going to stop acting like it's somebody else's fault when in reality, you know deep down inside, if you're not where you wanna be, it's your fault.

It's nobody else's fault. When will you finally start doing what it is that you want to do or stop doing what it is that you don't wanna do anymore? When are you gonna quit your job? When are you gonna ask that person out? When are you gonna break off that toxic relationship or stop talking to your sister who constantly brings you down or whatever it might be, that uncle that constantly talks trash or that best friend that

you've had for 25 years. But for some reason, because of the fact that you have history together, you still show up at their house and have them bombard you with negativity all the time. When are you going to stop? When are you going to finally quit your job, start the job that you wanted to and go after your passion? Because like Benjamin Franklin says, most people die by 25, but they're not buried until 75. You know, if you're out there and you're 40 years old, did you get into a comfort zone at 25? Have you been stuck in a comfort zone for 15 years? When are you going to change? There is no perfect time. The time is now. There is no second at bat. You've already, quote unquote, wasted 15 years of your life if you're in that situation. I'm not saying this

to be depressing. I'm saying this to be your wake-up call that if you're not going to do something now, if you're not going to do something today, you're never going to do it. So now is the time. There is no perfect time for everything to work out. This is your chance to change. But the thing that you have to realize is you, you have to change it. There is nobody else that's going to come in and save your life. There's no magic fairy that's going to come sprinkle magic fairy saving life dust on top of you and your life's going to completely change, right? You have to change it.

Part of the reason why I think that school and society, the way that it's set up is not really going to last for a whole lot longer is because we have to live under our parents' house for 18 years. We have to go to school and we're told what to do for 18 years. But then when we get out of our parents' house, we're like, what the hell am I supposed to do with my life? And nobody teaches us how to actually be adults, fully functioning adults, except for these podcasts, except for YouTube, except for all these things. I had to learn the hard way, a bunch of books, 300 books later, I'm like, Oh, I think I finally get what life is all about. Right? Nobody's going to come and save you. You have to be the person to do it. You will never get more time. And in fact, you're closer to dying than you were when this podcast

started. Think about that for a second. You're closer to your death than you were when this podcast started. Think about that for a second. You're closer to your death. Than you were when this podcast started. Think about that all day. Every day. And don't think about it in the fact that it demotivates you. Think about it as. You know what?

I've been falling towards the. You know when you're born you're pushed off a cliff. And you know eventually you're going to hit the ground. Eventually we're all going to hit the ground. But if we know that we're on this journey, if we know that that's going to happen, why don't we figure out a way to have a really good journey instead of thinking about the fact that we're falling and thinking about all the issues around falling or about how the temperature isn't what we want it to be, or all of the ways to complain or the things that aren't working out the way they want to be, if we're all falling towards the ground because we were pushed off the second we were born, shouldn't we try

to make this the best fall we can possibly make? I think that thinking about death is important. I think if you think about it this way, it's important. You know, I always say your mind is like a rubber band. It's time for you to start thinking about these types of things, to expand your thinking for a consistent amount of time. Continue, continue, continue, continue to start thinking outside of your comfort zone. Push yourself outside of your comfort zone because just like a rubber band, eventually if you pull it long enough, hard enough, it's going to snap. That's how you break yourself out of your comfort zone. There will never be a perfect time.

But the perfect time is now. So that's what I got for you for today's episode. If you're interested in not making excuses anymore, in changing your life, in taking everything up another level, and you want to join my Iron Mind 60 challenge, go to ironmind60.com, I-R-O-N-M-I-N-D-6-0.com. I would love to have you be a part of it. There's over 550 people in the group right now. And starting today, if you're listening to this on the day that it comes out, it's going to be day one. And to be honest with you,

it's funny. I'm at this group right now. And you know, since it's the end of the episode, anyways, might as well tell you guys, whatever. I'm at this, I'm at this, uh, I'm at this, this, this mastermind right now. And you know, everybody who's here is a successful business owner. And I was talking to another very successful coach. She's a life coach, business coach. You know, she's really, really good at getting people to 10X their businesses. And when she decided to switch off of a company and start her own business, all of her clients moved to there because she was that good. So I told her about the Iron Mind 60 challenge. She said something that pretty much everybody has said since I've, I had the idea and I've been talking about it.

Everybody said the exact same thing, man, that sounds amazing, but there's no way I could do that cold shower thing. Literally. She said that everybody's been saying that too. And as I, as I just said that I rolled my eyes, I wish you guys could see me. The point is to do what you don't want to do. I don't think people, I don't know if people understand that. I don't want to take a cold shower. I don't want to work out for 60 days in a row. I don't want to stick to a freaking normal, you know, a diet or food plan for 60 days because damn it, I love sugar. I do. I'm gonna go ahead and just, you know, make, make my, my, my, uh, I'll admit it to everybody. My name's Rob and I'm addicted to sugar. I'm not

addicted to it, but I love sugar. I love sugary things, but guess what? I'm not going to have it for 60 days. I don't want to take a cold shower, but that's the reason why I'm taking a cold shower because in order to be successful, in order to have a happy life, in order to have a joyous life, you're going to eventually have to do the things that you don't want to do. The whole Iron Mind 60 challenge is training your mind to be able to take on anything that comes up to it. So if you're out there and you're like, this guy sounds crazy, but for some reason, I think I want to drink the Kool-Aid and you want to join in on this challenge, go to ironmind60.com. We end June 24th, 1159 PM Pacific Standard Time. That was the very last moment that you can join.

So don't try to email me after. If you happen to listen to this a few days down the road, I'm sorry. I wish that you could join us. It would be amazing. I don't know if I'm ever going to do another one of these. People keep saying, oh, it's not a good time. Maybe I'll do the next one. I'm like, well, it's never a good time. I'm'll do the next one. I'm like, well, it's never a good time. I'm in Mexico right now. I'm going to be in Mexico tomorrow. Literally the day that it starts, because I'm recording this night before the episode. Tomorrow, I have to wake up and I have to catch a bus at six o'clock in the morning

to go swimming with whale sharks. I know it's pretty awesome. I'm going to go swimming with whale sharks. I won't be back until literally, I think, to 8 PM at night. I'm going to have to go to the gym because that is part of the thing. I'm going to wake up. I'm going to take a cold shower. I'm going to go through everything I'm supposed to go through, but I'm going to have to go to the gym. It's not the perfect time for me. I'm moving next week into a new house. It's not the perfect time for me. It will never be the perfect time. But if you're out there and you're

ready to change, the time is now. Let's do it. Put your money where your mouth is. Let's do it. Put the commitment in. Find time in your schedule. Do it. Let's do it together. I'll be there to coach you every single step of the way. So if you're interested, go to ironmind60.com. This is the very last time that you're going to hear me talk about this. So some of you guys are like, hell yeah, this is the last time I'm going to hear you talk about it. Some of you guys are like on the fence. You're like, maybe I should join, but I don't know. I kind of have these limiting beliefs and mindset. Just join, pull the trigger, join us. I would love to have you in it. But that being said, everybody, I'm going to leave you the same way I leave you

every single episode, make it your mission, make somebody else's day better. I appreciate you all. And I hope that you have an amazing day.
