Are you going to be a fighter or victim?

In partnership with

Good morning Grinder,

Have you ever paused in the middle of your routine—right between your to-do list and your worries—and asked yourself: What’s really holding me back from winning? Not just surviving or scraping by… but truly winning in life?

What if the difference between those who dominate in their field and those who merely drift has nothing to do with talent, money, or timing—but everything to do with what’s happening inside their head?

This week, I came across a video that shook me. It didn’t just inspire me—it activated something. It's a deep dive into the mind of champions by sports psychologist Bill Beswick. And trust me, it’s not just about sports. It’s about you. Your mindset. Your daily habits. Your purpose. Your will.

It’s called "INSIDE THE MIND OF A WINNER."

Let me take you inside what I learned—and how it can change your life starting today.

The Silent Battle You Fight Daily

Every day, before we even speak a word or touch our phones, we’re already at war. It’s the battle between comfort and growth. Fear and courage. Distraction and discipline.

And here’s the thing: winners aren’t born fearless. They choose courage more often. They train their minds to respond, not react. They build routines that strengthen discipline the way an athlete trains their body.

Bill Beswick says it clearly—winning is 80% mental. That means the real work starts long before the race, the sale, the meeting, or the performance. It starts when you’re alone. When no one’s watching. When you could take the easy route, but instead choose the hard one—the one that sharpens you.

So let me ask you: how often are you showing up to that mental training?

You Don’t Need Motivation. You Need Structure.

Most people wait for motivation to strike like lightning. But what winners understand is that motivation is unreliable. Discipline is not. Winners don’t hope they’ll feel like working out, practicing, writing, calling, studying, building, learning… they plan for it. They create structure and systems that pull them forward, especially on days when everything feels heavy.

Beswick talks about how elite athletes use mental scripts. They visualize outcomes. They speak to themselves with purpose. They write down goals—not once, but repeatedly—until it rewires their identity. They don’t just play the game—they study it, live it, breathe it.

If you want to change your life, stop waiting to “feel” different. Train your mind to be different. Get obsessed with structure. Build discipline like a craft. Because once your mind believes, your body and your actions follow.

Your Biggest Opponent Is Comfort

In the video, Beswick shares how so many people have potential but never tap into it—because they’ve made a quiet deal with comfort. And comfort is a seductive liar. It promises ease but robs you of impact. It tells you “not today” until you look up and realize you’ve lived the same year ten times in a row.

Winners, on the other hand, have learned to live uncomfortable on purpose. They do hard things—not because they love pain, but because they know what’s on the other side: growth, clarity, power, peace.

What if the anxiety or frustration you feel right now isn’t a sign that something’s wrong—but a sign you’re being called to evolve?

What if your dreams are still alive, but waiting on you to get serious?

Train to Dominate, Not Just Compete

Too many of us are just trying to “get through” the week. But winners don’t just want to show up—they want to own the field. They don’t compare themselves to others; they compete with who they were yesterday.

Beswick emphasizes the power of mental momentum. That’s the edge. When you stack small wins—early wake-ups, focused work sessions, tough conversations, finished tasks—you create a rhythm that builds confidence. And confidence isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you earn.

You don’t need to be perfect. You need to be in motion. Day after day. Imperfectly. Relentlessly. That’s how you dominate—not others, but your own limitations.

This Is Your Wake-Up Call

You didn’t come this far to stop now. You didn’t survive the storms in your life to settle into a life of quiet frustration. You were built to lead, to rise, to serve, to win—whatever that looks like for you.

But it won’t happen by accident.

After watching that video, I made a commitment: No more coasting. No more waiting. From this moment on, I train to dominate.

And I want you to join me.

I don’t care what your dream is—building a business, running a marathon, being the best parent possible, getting out of debt, writing that book, leveling up your income, healing your past—it all starts in your mind.

Train it. Feed it. Strengthen it like it’s your most valuable muscle—because it is.

The world doesn’t need more “average.” It needs people on fire. It needs you, at your best. Not someday. Now.

Watch It. Reflect. Move.

Here’s the video:

Watch it like your life depends on it. Then ask yourself:

• Where have I been playing small?

• What’s one habit I can build this week to train my mindset?

• Who am I becoming—and am I proud of it?

And then… move.

Because the mind of a winner isn’t some rare gift.

It’s a choice.

Today, choose it.

With fire and purpose,

Best wishes,
