Audible is my go-to place for podcasts, and there's a new one with Chrissy Teigen that I am so excited about. It's called Self-Conscious with Chrissy Teigen, and the show revolves around being a safe space to talk about personal growth and well-being. Plus, with Chrissy's humor, honesty, and curiosity, I find that it's not only beneficial, but also entertaining to listen to.

In each weekly episode, she guides you through conversations with top experts in their field like Adam Grant, Mel Robbins, and Gabby Bernstein, just to name a few. In these conversations, Chrissy gathers information and tools you can use in your day-to-day life to help you with whatever journey you're on. As someone who is constantly looking for ways to grow and continue on my path of self-discovery, I find the conversations to be relatable and the knowledge they share invaluable. Don't be mistaken. You don't have to be on this self-growth journey for years to benefit from this podcast.

It's meant for everyone looking to better themselves and find ways to grow into the person they've always wanted to be, no matter how long you've been on this path to self-growth.

As a small business owner, you don't have the luxury of clocking out early. Your business is on your mind 24/7. So when you're hiring, you need a partner that grinds just as hard as you do. That hiring partner is LinkedIn Jobs. When you clock out, LinkedIn clocks in. LinkedIn makes it easy to post your job for free, share it with your network, and get qualified candidates that you can manage all in one place.

Before LinkedIn Jobs, hiring someone new was a hassle and kept me from being able to run my business with my full attention. Now, with the help of LinkedIn Jobs, I can breathe easy knowing the right candidates will find me and I can give my business my full attention without worry. LinkedIn's new feature can help you write job descriptions and then quickly get your job in front of the right people with deep candidate insights. Either post your job for free or pay to promote. Promoted jobs get three times more qualified applicants.

At the end of the day, the most important thing to your small business is the quality of candidates and with LinkedIn, you can feel confident that you're getting the best. Based on LinkedIn data, 72% of small businesses using LinkedIn say that LinkedIn helps them find high-quality candidates. Plus, you can let your network know you're hiring. You can even add a hashtag hiring frame to your profile picture and get two times more qualified candidates.

When you get to the point where all you want to do is be successful, as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful.

And when you get to success, it's not about skill. When you get to a certain level of success, it's about stamina. It's sweat, it's blood, it's tears. There are no shortcuts to success. Stop thinking they are and stop wanting people to put you somewhere that you didn't earn. I fought too long. I fought too hard. I will break you before you break me. What do you do when a thousand other people want exactly what you want?

The decisions you make right now is up to you. I really feel like if I do these things, I'm going to be successful. Execute on the things that you said you were going to execute on. You have to outwork them. You've got to outpower them. You've got to get up earlier. You've got to stay up later. You've got to execute.

The reason why I speak with so much passion, because I'm talking about my life, not something that I read. There is no excuse for not living up to the fullest potential. No excuse. Don't let your words guide you. Let your actions guide you.

Now listen to me. I don't care if you're sick. I don't care what you're going through. As long as you're waking up, you're still in the game. As long as you're alive, you can still make it happen. As long as that breath in your nostrils, you're still in the game. You still can win. Now get your butt up. I hope I do not believe in you more than you believe in yourself.

They looked at the most successful men and women of the world and they found that they had like seven, eight things in common. And one of the things they all had in common was a routine. They are obsessed with their routine. There are those of you in this room, you spend a majority of your life doing what other people want you to do. You don't even know who you are. And so even what you're doing, you're not doing it 120% because you're doing what somebody else wants you to do. And you're not that you're not good enough to be somebody else.

I need you to be selfish on the dream piece because what you have to understand is when you know who you are and you start operating that, you're going to start blessing people in a way you couldn't bless people before when you didn't really know who you were.

I don't want nothing from you but for you to leave this room and know what you want. What do you want in your marriage? What do you want with your son and your daughter? What do you want in your health? What do you want financially? Like, how do you want to live? Stop just waking up like an accident. What do you want? And then once you find out what you want, spend the rest of your natural life waking up and going after it. One day I made a decision that if nothing's enough, I'm tired of being average.

I'm tired. I made a decision. Enough is enough. It's showtime. Listen to me very closely. When you graduate and you get a job, if you want to get paid, you never say no. You never say it can't get done. Don't you ever say out your mouth it can't get done. Even if you feel in your heart it can't get done, you don't say it out loud. You let the broke folks say that. You let the folks they find first say that. You always say it can get done. Even if you don't think it can get done, just say it and try to make up something.

You have to give it everything you got. No more TV, no more parties, no more playing. If you don't have a 4.0, what you need to be doing is studying. Get off the phone. Sorry, I'm not available until the end of this year. No, I'm for real. You've reached the right number, but you called me at the wrong time. I'll be back January 1st. I'm about to get busy now. Whatever you do, I guarantee you, when you do it, nobody can do it like you do it. The problem is you don't hardly do it.

You love sleep too much. You love that alcohol too much. You love that something too much. You love that vice too much. There's something that you love more than yourself. I don't care what level you get to. I need you to dream. I need you to focus on why you were born in the first place. Why are you here on Earth for this particular time? What are you doing here? It feels good being me. 'Cause guess what? I could never be sweet being you.

You need to tell you that you owe you something. There are those of you saying, I want to be the best at this company, right? But your value system says you believe in sleep more than you believe in grinding. Your value system says you are a consumer and not a producer. I guarantee you, the world is yours. So work hard and you can have whatever it is you want. Rich people don't waste time. They realize it's their most important commodity.

They don't watch a lot of TV. They don't do a lot of entertainment. If they're not working, they're studying their craft and getting better at their craft. Every day when I wake up, I got all kind of demands. You got all kind of demands. And the reason why you're not where you want to be is not because you're not great, but you taking all other people's stuff before you spend enough time with yourself to get to know you and get to know what you want and what you should do.

Don't be average, like for real, for real. Whatever it is you do, like do it, do it and take a different perspective. I said I'm gonna grind. I'm going to fight. I'm going to work. I'm going to press toward. I'm going to learn. I'm going to do everything in my power. Every single day, I'm going to do everything in my power to become a victor and not a victim. There you stop evaluating yourself.

The day you stop growing, the day you stop getting better, is the day you die. Is the day the person who's trying to catch you will catch you. Every opportunity is the last opportunity. Every opportunity I have to reprove myself again. I need you to spend a considerable amount of time dreaming every single day. Let me tell you why. I've noticed that the people who dream and those people who dream big have a different kind of life than the people who don't dream.

Bring all the energy, all the passion, bring it all together and dominate. But you better stop making excuses and find a way to win. I focus more on winning than I focus on structure. I focus on winning. What's your why? Why do you wake up in the morning? Why do you put on that jersey? Why do you go out and practice? Why? I got to commit my very being to this thing. I got to breathe it. I got to eat it. I got to sleep it. And until you get there, you'll never be successful in life.

When you're a winner, winning spreads. Because winners win. Because it's not about where you come from. It's about hearts. You come to a place where, you know, being smart ain't enough. You gotta have hearts. Don't go to sleep until you succeed. But I got an opportunity to make a dream become a reality. Why have you never gone after your calling?
