Many people don’t know ‘who they are.’ So many people don’t understand the people that do know who they are.
Jack Han just wrote an incredible piece called “Golden Handcuffs.” If you haven’t read it, I’d recommend taking a slight detour from this piece:
In 2020, I found this guy on the internet that went by Twitter handle @guruanaerobic.
What did Mark Baker teach me after downloading his ebook called Gang Fit?
Everything about life that was laying latent inside of my soul…
I even wrote about ‘waking up from the dream’ in a free ebook, called Play the Right Game.
My buddy Kevin and I have been chatting both about our experiences and how we resonate with Jack and Kyle Dubas. Here are a few DM’s from Kevin. The first one is a comment about Jack’s article, and the second is about Dubas and his situation:
Without reading Gang Fit or my ebook, Kevin felt what I felt after I left the coaching game for what was supposed to be a brief break, it only turned out to be longer because I realized the game of success was different than the game of significance. And I needed to find people playing the 2nd game.
When you’re clear on who you are, you realize this…
Most people are playing games I don’t want to play.
When 98% of organizations are playing finite games, you have to wait to attract a small percentage of infinite players. For me, that means sitting out of coaching for 3 years because I refuse to play the wrong games with the wrong people for the sake of ‘climbing the coaching ladder.’
For Kyle it meant, ‘Here is what I need from you to continue to do this in a sustainable way because my family is important to me. If those conditions aren’t met, I’ll happily walk and regret nothing.’
Remember that Mark Baker quote I always use?
Remove the shit from your life.
Don’t just spray the shit with perfume.
When you know who you are, you don’t tolerate the shit.
You don’t play the wrong games.
You don’t play with the wrong people.
You stand for something. You have self-respect.
You’re willing to walk away from everything that your soul doesn’t align with.
If you’re feeling lost…
Remember who you are…
Kyle Dubas knows who he is and won the game ‘he’ is playing.
