Quick Hit #175: Dreams Versus Fantasies

I’m thrilled to hold the first copies of Hustlers & Seekers in my hands. And guess what? This book is designed to do the *one* thing I’ve never seen done in the world of personal growth, to help you merge both parts of yourself: The ambitious dreamer, the relentless spirit who shows up and never takes “no” for an answer —going all in on themselves. (We’ll use ‘Hustling’ to describe this energy.) The insatiable seeker, the person on a quest for meaning, for inquiry, to know what this life is *really* about —and find the truth. (We’ll use ‘Seeking’ to describe this energy.) In other words: You’re meant to be both. You’re meant to harness both. You’re meant to integrate both. 🎟️ PRE-ORDER HUSTLERS & SEEKERS TO CLAIM YOUR $597 OF BONUSES 🎟️ You’re told to be ambitious, work your face off and complete a 7-step morning ritual before 9:30 AM —listening to Gary Vee as you pound Nitro Cold Brew. (We’ll call this ‘doing’, or Hustling.) You’re told to surrender, do the inner work, align your chakras as you meditate to binaural beats —with a backdrop of Abraham Hicks as you connect with source. (We’ll call this ‘being’, or Seeking.) So, what do you pick? Pick hustle and you’ll buy into the myth that one day you’ll get ‘there’ and arrive at the Oasis where all your problems will disappear. Pick seeking and you’ll buy into the myth that the inner work is all you need and one day you’ll be enlightened and pound tequila with Deepak. Quite a dilemma, wouldn’t you agree? The reality is: We need to merge both. We need to connect both. We need to synergize both. "If it stays as insight, it may as well be personal growth videogames." —Tommy Baker In today's Quick Hit, I'll share a small snippet from the book and dive into some of the core themes, topics, and insights —you won't want to miss! 🎟️ PRE-ORDER HUSTLERS & SEEKERS TO CLAIM YOUR $597 OF BONUSES 🎟️ I'm excited to announce my brand new book, Hustlers & Seekers: How To Crush It and Find Fulfillment Without Losing Your Mind.

“You’re so disciplined, Tommy —if I had that, then I would launch the business, take the bold step, get in the best shape…” Oh, no...while I appreciate the triple scoop Hot Fudge sundae to my ego when you utter those words —here’s the truth: Discipline is *easy* when you’ve amplified your desire: Where it becomes a no brainer. Where it becomes a daily habit. Where it becomes a non-negotiable. In other words: When you want it badly enough. When you want it with every fiber of your being. When you want it more than you want to breathe. Then you’ll show up every single day —regardless of thoughts, feelings, moods, emotions and what Cardi B said on Twitter. 🎟️ PRE-ORDER HUSTLERS & SEEKERS TO CLAIM YOUR $597 OF BONUSES 🎟️ You’re told to be ambitious, work your face off and complete a 7-step morning ritual before 9:30 AM —listening to Gary Vee as you pound Nitro Cold Brew.

Questions. A mentor, Dr. John Demartini once told me —the quality of the questions you ask will determine the quality of our lives. But there’s a problem: when we run our lives on auto-pilot, we aren’t aware of the questions we’re asking. Which means we ask questions like: How could I ever afford to do that? Why does this always happen to me? Why can’t I seem to be further along? Instead, what if you flipped the above and asked: How can I create more value? What’s the competitive advantage this gives me? Where can I truly celebrate the blessings I have today? Enter my latest guest, Marc Champagne. Marc believes we’re all one question away from a completely different life. He’s studied the minds of people like Kobe Bryant, Maya Angelou, Naveen Jain, James Clear, Picasso, Stephen Hawking and created a book called Personal Socrates: Questions That Will Upgrade Your Life from Legends and World-Class Performers. In today's conversation, Marc Champagne and I dive into the power of "mental fitness", what wisdom really means, and how to ask better questions, to gain deeper insights, clarity —and well, results on a daily basis.

When was the last time you felt alive with the work you do? Take a moment to answer that question and don't be afraid to be radically honest. Because for a large part of my life: work did not make me come alive as I counted down the seconds until I could leave for Happy Hour. Clearly, it wasn't working. Today, I find myself blessed to wake up with vigor every single day as I pursue what matters most. And by the way, this does not mean it's easy, but that's beside the point when you're doing things that lift your spirit. And guess what? This is available to you too, and my guest is here to help you find work that makes you come alive —Jonathan Fields. Jonathan Fields is a dad, husband, author, and host of one of the top-ranked podcasts in the world, Good Life Project®, featured everywhere from The Wall Street Journal to Oprah Magazine and even Apple’s iconic annual product event. He is also the Founder/CEO of Spark Endeavors and lead architect behind the Sparketypes®, an archetyping system and set of tools tapped by over 500,000 individuals and organizations to identify, embrace, and cultivate work that makes people come alive, and equip organizations and leaders to more-effectively unlock potential, motivation, impact, and joy.

How do you find work that makes you come alive —and get paid for it? It's the ultimate question for a thriving life from the inside out.

She’s the author of the blockbuster New York Times bestsellers, The Four Tendencies, Better Than Before, The Happiness Project, and Happier at Home. Fast Company named Gretchen Rubin to its list of Most Creative People in Business, and she’s a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100. But it wasn't always that way.

Do you have a dream or a fantasy? Now, let me explain with a dose of #RealTalk: Most people have fantasies —thinking that ‘someday’ it’s all going to happen to them in a stroke of fortune: A magical moment where Oprah finds them. A magical moment where an investor shows up. A magical moment when they’re ‘ready’ to start. (Look at what these have in common: a reliance on an external event instead of using agency —the power of choice.) And guess what? Fantasies are like unicorns —they’re adorable little things but: They stop you from showing up. They stop you from doing the work. They stop you from getting messy AF. They stop you from asking for the sale. They stop you from emotional resilience. In today's Quick Hit, you'll learn how to ensure you have a real dream, an actual dream —versus a fantasy. 🎟️ PRE-ORDER HUSTLERS & SEEKERS TO CLAIM YOUR $597 OF BONUSES 🎟️ I'm excited to announce my brand new book, Hustlers & Seekers: How To Crush It and Find Fulfillment Without Losing Your Mind.
