Shortcuts are for suckers.  If everyone was supposed to be a millionaire, there'd be a shortcut.  Same for having abs and being in great shape.  You can't just take juice, eat KitKats and not have to work out.  There's no such thing as a shortcut.  It's a mythical creature like unicorns.  You wanna be a millionaire?  Work your ass off in the office every single day.  You want a great marriage?  Bust your ass in your marriage.  Show your spouse you love them consistently.  Same for being a great parent.  Shortcuts are bullshit.  They're for suckers.  Only a sucker believes you only have to work out 5 minutes a day to get in shape.  Only a sucker believes you can make a million bucks in 30 days without working your ass off.  Don't take shortcuts.  It'll take you off your path.  Do the work.  Go the long way.  Put in the effort.  Shortcuts are for suckers.  #RiseAbove    HOW TO GET INVOLVED:  This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.  Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction, imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being.  He went on to create a powerful network of winners and champions in life and business creating a movement quickly changing lives one day at a time.  Learn more at: www.JoinTheApex.com   Check out this show and previous killer episodes of the ReWire Podcast in Apple Podcasts.

If you want to crush it, you have to crush it with consistency.  If you go into the gym 30 days in a row and fall you'll lose all your muscle mass and get fat.  Let's talk about sales..... If you make a ton of sales one month, make big commissions and then coast the next month, you'll have a smaller check and have to work twice as hard to make it back.  Being inconsistent is the equivalent of being part-time.  Once you've started something, stay on it.  Go all in.  That's the key.  Staying consistent will help you get there faster.  Just because you win, doesn't mean you stop and celebrate.  Stay consistent.  Keep feeding your mind.  Study.  Learn.  Experiment.  Grow.  But stay consistent.  And crush it!  #RiseAbove    HOW TO GET INVOLVED:  This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.  Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction, imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being.  He went on to create a powerful network of winners and champions in life and business creating a movement quickly changing lives one day at a time.  Learn more at: www.JoinTheApex.com   Check out this show and previous killer episodes of the ReWire Podcast in Apple Podcasts.

Downtime will knock you down and keep you down.  We always look for downtime.  We work hard to get the job done and find some downtime.  We'll work a week to take a vacation for a year.  But downtime will suffocate your life.  It's the wrong mindset.  You gotta look forward to the times when you're busting your ass, working your fingers to the bone, going to the gym, eating healthy.  You've got to put in time with your family.  Down is the last place you want to be.  Get up and stay up.

Let's talk about the magic mindset.  People think I started thinking this way overnight.  20 years was spent fucking up and getting experience.  The other 20 years was personal development.  I've been in some dark places in my life.  I've been in prison, broke my neck, and almost died.  Been divorced.  Been rich and have been broke.  Every fucked up situation you can imagine, I've been there.  But every time I got that experience, I always came back stronger.  These experiences create a mindset that makes us stronger.  We become smarter and more impenetrable.  But there's no escaping this process.  You don't just magically close your eyes, ask for a magical mindset, and wake up a new person.  It has to be earned. Developed.  Endured.  Remember that as you're going through the struggle.  You're being built and prepped for something bigger.  #RiseAbove HOW TO GET INVOLVED:  This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.  Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction, imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being.  He went on to create a powerful network of winners and champions in life and business creating a movement quickly changing lives one day at a time.  Learn more at: www.JoinTheApex.com   Check out this show and previous killer episodes of the ReWire Podcast in Apple Podcasts.

The Magic Mindset | ReWire 1376

The reason people fear starting over from scratch is they don't like where they're at.  Sure, starting over is taking a step back.  It's humiliating sometimes.  But being afraid of starting over is not going to help you move forward.  I started over with my businesses more times than I can count.  Every time we start over, we have wisdom, experience, and understanding that allow us to come back faster than we did before.  When people come to work for me, they have to take a step back.  But if you work your ass off, you'll end up getting rewarded.  You'll make more money.  But you have to be willing to start over and climb back up again.  This is the essence of what's required to make it to the top, but you can't be afraid to start over.  Release the fear and get it in gear.  #RiseAbove   HOW TO GET INVOLVED:  This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.  Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction, imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being.  He went on to create a powerful network of winners and champions in life and business creating a movement quickly changing lives one day at a time.  Learn more at: www.JoinTheApex.com   Check out this show and previous killer episodes of the ReWire Podcast in Apple Podcasts.

I'm going to tell you a very powerful Bible story in this episode.  It's from Matthew Chapter 13.  This story is going to show you the parable for life.  You're going to start some businesses.  Some will not have enough soil, but it's going to sprout up.  You're going to start a relationship only for it to end 6 months later.  You'll start another business and maybe it will grow to 30, 60 or 100 times what it was.   In life, you have to keep planting seeds.  Move forward.  If something doesn't sprout and thrive, let it be and move to the next place, but do not stop sowing the seeds.  Sow every field with love and they will grow and love you back.  #RiseAbove   HOW TO GET INVOLVED:  This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.  Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction, imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being.  He went on to create a powerful network of winners and champions in life and business creating a movement quickly changing lives one day at a time.  Learn more at: www.JoinTheApex.com   Check out this show and previous killer episodes of the ReWire Podcast in Apple Podcasts.

The Parable of the Sower | ReWire 1374

My pastor Keith Craft told me, "If you'll do more than you're paid for, you'll be paid for more than you do." I've never had an hourly job as an adult.   I've always worked on commission and was always willing to eat what I killed.  I've always worked more than what I was paid for.  When I was in prison, I was getting after it on the yard.  The boss on the yard called me over and said, "You were out there working your ass off.  Are you on drugs?" I said, "No."  He said, "Starting tomorrow you're going to take everyone over to the yard to work tomorrow on the tractor."  I had to fight a couple of guys and got sent to solitary confinement because they thought I snitched on someone to get the job.  I did this in the mortgage industry too. Everyone started work at 10 am.  I'd be there at 8 am putting in the work and making more money than some of those guys who had been there five or 10 years.  Here's the lesson........ Do more than you're paid for and you'll be paid for more than you do.  #RiseAbove   HOW TO GET INVOLVED:  This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.  Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction, imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being.  He went on to create a powerful network of winners and champions in life and business creating a movement quickly changing lives one day at a time.  Learn more at: www.JoinTheApex.com   Check out this show and previous killer episodes of the ReWire Podcast in Apple Podcasts.

I've won big and lost big.  I know you have, too.  When we get to the top, we get scared of possibly having to start over from scratch.  When we get scared, we fall into a scarcity mindset.  What do you think is attracting these results to you?  I've watched people ride their own waves to destruction.  Their ego, pride, or greed got in the way.  So many people have tried the same thing over and over again expecting different results.  People make bad decisions when they're stressed, pressed, and tested.  Usually, it's not wanting help from others. Being unwilling to admit defeat.  Not being willing to start over again.  One thing I will tell you is, there's always a way to keep that from happening.  It starts with being clear about your willingness to start over if necessary.  If not, it's time to do what you're doing, but doing it differently.  #RiseAbove   HOW TO GET INVOLVED:  This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.  Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction, imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being.  He went on to create a powerful network of winners and champions in life and business creating a movement quickly changing lives one day at a time.  Learn more at: www.JoinTheApex.com   Check out this show and previous killer episodes of the ReWire Podcast in Apple Podcasts.

Here's a dirty secret about people....... The excuse people give you is never the real excuse.  The real excuse may be:   They don't have money They're not really interested in working with you They break up with you because they're interested in someone else or they don't want to hurt you or offend you  If we were honest about our excuses, it would give us the chance to get to the truth quicker and allow us to at least close over it.  If you're working on getting to the root reason of the excuse people are giving you, stop giving your own fake excuses.  Sit back and watch what the universe brings you.  It all starts with being honest with yourself.  You do that, and you'll stop getting excuses from everyone else.  #RiseAbove    HOW TO GET INVOLVED:  This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.  Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction, imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being.  He went on to create a powerful network of winners and champions in life and business creating a movement quickly changing lives one day at a time.  Learn more at: www.JoinTheApex.com   Check out this show and previous killer episodes of the ReWire Podcast in Apple Podcasts.

The Truth About People's Excuses | ReWire 1371

Some people will go out and work 2-3 hours of their 8-hour work day and think they deserve a raise.  When you receive something you haven't earned, you tend to give it away.  People who make a ton of money, tend to earn more because they deserve it.  They're grateful for it.  They invest it and protect it.  Most people spend or blow through their gifts.  The mindset is different when you earn something. You treat it differently.  You work for it and an emotional connection to it.   Think about your relationship to money, the work you do and that's where you'll find the disconnect between what you have and what you want.  Lean in and pay attention to it.  If you're going to get paid what you're worth, you're going to have to do the work.  #RiseAbove    HOW TO GET INVOLVED:  This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.  Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction, imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being.  He went on to create a powerful network of winners and champions in life and business creating a movement quickly changing lives one day at a time.  Learn more at: www.JoinTheApex.com   Check out this show and previous killer episodes of the ReWire Podcast in Apple Podcasts.

If you're scared to spend money, then you're scared to make money.  It's a straight scarcity mindset.  If you're scared to make money, more money will only magnify your fears.  I've heard experts say that asking a millionaire for advice is one of the worst things you can do.  Get used to spending money.  Investing money.  Don't invest time saving.  Be the conduit through which money flows.  If I make a profit in my business, I have to reinvest it in employees, investments, and assets to help keep things circulating.  The money has to flow through me so the money can flow to me.  This is how most people get wealthy.  Nothing good comes from hoarding.  Money sitting in a bank account does not serve you.  Money is like an employee.  If it's sitting around doing nothing, it doesn't add to your bottom line.  If your money is working, it'll be productive and help you make more money.  Be smart.  Let it flow.  Watch your money grow!  #RiseAbove    HOW TO GET INVOLVED:  This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.  Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction, imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being.  He went on to create a powerful network of winners and champions in life and business creating a movement quickly changing lives one day at a time.  Learn more at: www.JoinTheApex.com   Check out this show and previous killer episodes of the ReWire Podcast in Apple Podcasts.

About 150 episodes back, I did the Elite Version Exercise.  It's an exercise that allows you to visualize the most elite version of yourself.  I have people hit me up all the time about why they're not succeeding in their lives, their marriages, business relationships, and everything else you can imagine.  I've been there. I used to identify with everything from abandonment, prison, drugs, and being addicted to all types of things that left me with a poor image of myself.  We weren't born to be victims.  We weren't born to be victims of our own bad habits.  You have to start seeing yourself as someone who can go on to dominate.  Terminate.   Extrapolate all your goals.  If you're going to become the most elite version of yourself, you have to start with fixing things from the inside.  You are a creator.  A dominator.  And the version of you that you want the world to see starts with you reinventing how you see yourself.   #RiseAbove    HOW TO GET INVOLVED:  This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.  Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction, imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being.  He went on to create a powerful network of winners and champions in life and business creating a movement quickly changing lives one day at a time.  Learn more at: www.JoinTheApex.com   Check out this show and previous killer episodes of the ReWire Podcast in Apple Podcasts.
