3 Value Bombs
1) If you are incapable of leading yourself, you are incapable of leading your team effectively.
2) Look deeply at whether or not your actions are truly in alignment with who you believe yourself to be. That process of introspection and digging really deep and trying to understand who you are, that’s a difficult process.
3) Your level of success will never exceed your level of personal development.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: A WILD Story of 8-Figures at 29, 9-Figures by 31, Losing It All, and the Rebuilding process
[1:17] – Branden shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- Everybody believes that there’s a finish line. When they get to the point where they have millions in the bank, they realize that there’s an emptiness, that there’s something missing.
[2:13] – What is it like to have a 9-figure business at 31 years old and then lose it all?
- He was given the opportunity at the age of 26 to go out and build a business.
- His life changed when an investigation that was going on into the healthcare business that he sold came to a head and the government decided that they were going to make an example out of the case.
- The series of events that unfolded ultimately resulted in multi-millions of dollars being frozen and seized.
- He had to resign from his real estate development business, sacrifice all of his equity, and all of the other opportunities he had in the pipeline essentially fell apart.
- If you’re in a highly regulated market, selling products over the phone or over the Internet are always being watched by the FTC. You’re inches away from a very similar situation.
- Look deeply at whether or not your actions are truly in alignment with who you believe yourself to be.
[8:13] – Both business and financial success can be incredibly deceiving.
- Your level of success will never exceed your level of personal development.
[10:30] – Adversity is our greatest teacher.
- When you are reduced to essentially nothing, you still have the ability to control your mind.
- Use the moment and the lessons that you learned going through adversity and having to recreate the person you are today. Use that opportunity to serve the world.

[18:00] – How we validate ourselves is an important factor.
- We place all of our self-worth in the view of a group of people we can’t control.
- Validate yourself by the routine and the disciplines that you stick to.
[20:27] – The definition of being congruent.
- A successful person is one who is complete, somebody who’s acting in accordance with their beliefs, their values, and all of the opinions that they have about themselves.
[22:42] – Branden’s key takeaway and call to action.
- If you are incapable of leading yourself, you are incapable of leading your team effectively.
