🏊🏽‍♂️ What’s one stretch goal that y

🏊🏽‍♂️ What’s one stretch goal that you have?
⠀
Mine is learning how to swim…
⠀
Why?
⠀
Because I’m TERRIBLE at it!
⠀
It’s so hard for me to keep my legs above water 🤬
⠀
They just sink!
⠀
Then I end up gassing out half way down the lane.
⠀
I’ve began putting in work last year to improve…
⠀
But fell off because I allowed work + life to get in the way.
⠀
So once things level out & get back to normal...
⠀
You can catch me at the pool again.
⠀
I’m going to hire a swim coach this time to keep me accountable 🤣
⠀
Let me know a big goal you’ve set for yourself.
⠀
I’m excited to hear it!
⠀
Much love!

🦇 Who is your favorite superhero? ⠀ In the fi

🦇 Who is your favorite superhero?
⠀
In the fictional world BATMAN has always been my favorite.
⠀
I loved the fact that he’s just a normal dude without any other worldly superpowers.
⠀
He was a wealth man that used his resources to help people & rid his city of evil.
⠀
That inspired me a kid…
⠀
Because it showed me that I didn’t have to have some superhuman powers in order to make a positive impact on others.
⠀
That all I had to do was be kind to peeps…
⠀
And equip myself with the right skills + knowledge + resources to help my loved ones & those around me.
⠀
I focus on using my positivity to help at least one person everyday.
⠀
I do this by hitting up at least 5 people/day just to say whattup…
⠀
To let you know I’ve been thinking of you…
⠀
And to wish you the best with whatever you may be going through.
⠀
So when I drop you a note…
⠀
Now you know why.
⠀
Much love!
Jeff

🌅 This lockdown has been interesting change of

🌅 This lockdown has been interesting change of pace…
⠀
I’ve been so used to running around trying to make moves that I rarely take time to kick it & enjoy…
⠀
But this lockdown has allowed me to slow down to reflect on my vision + progress.
⠀
I’ve made time to evaluate + adjust my daily routines.
⠀
Modified my training schedule for the gym closures. (I still need to build my home gym 😐)
⠀
Continued reading, learning + implementing strategies for the biz…
⠀
And checking some dope new Netflix (@Netflix) series at night. (Check out ELITE if you get a chance)
⠀
Overall, it’s been an extremely positive experience for me…
⠀
And it’s been dope seeing people coming together to help each other.
⠀
That’s what it’s all about!
⠀
What are some things you’re doing during this time?
⠀
Drop me a comment below to let me know what you’re up to.
⠀
I’d love to hear from you!

Much love!

🏁 The Marathon Continues
⠀
I had to show love + pay respect to the man Nipsey Hussle (@NipseyHussle).
⠀
His quote really resonated with me…
⠀
Especially at this time with all the change + uncertainty.
⠀
I’ve been using this time to dial in + hyper-focus on expanding in every area of my life.
⠀
As well as spending time + connecting with the people I love the most.
⠀
I hope you and your loved ones are doing well, staying healthy, and continuing to stay hopeful + positive.
⠀
Stay ten toes down.

It’s a book I revisit at least once a year as a reminder continue to dig deep and create the results I want in my life.

🚌 3 weeks ago my car got completely totaled!
⠀
Here’s how it all went down…
⠀
I was working out at my gym Mountainside Fitness (@Mountainsidefit).
⠀
I typically train at night because I feel the best & love my gym crew at that time.
⠀
Plus, it’s my time to relax from the day & focus on improving my body + mind.
⠀
Everything went as normal.
⠀
I finished up my training session.
⠀
Chopped up with a few peeps.
⠀
Then called it a night.
⠀
As I walked out to go to my car that was parked around the side of the gym…
⠀
I saw the entire front end of my Dodge Magnum completely smashed + ripped off!
⠀
The first thing I did was LAUGH 🤣
⠀
I felt ZERO anger or negativity about it.
⠀
It felt like it happened for a positive reason…
⠀
Last year I spent a lot of time letting go of things that no longer served me…
⠀
And I feel that my car was now one of those things I had to let go of.
⠀
Was the situation & timing perfect?
⠀
No, not really…
⠀
But I’m extremely thankful it happened.
⠀
It forced me to level up and practice everything I’ve been learning…
⠀
Calmness + patience + trust + gratitude.
⠀
I remember a time when I would’ve flown off the chain when an event like this occurred.
⠀
Now I just chill & observe…
⠀
I think it’s cool to see the tests that come our way in life when we least expect it…
⠀
And how we’re able to handle it.
⠀
Much love!
Jeff
⠀
🚗PS: Thanks to the fam at Lifted Trucks (@LiftedTrucksArizona) for getting me into the new whip!
⠀
I appreciate you all & your team!
⠀
You’re incredible people & have an amazing company.

I really like this quote as a positive reminder to always focus on improving myself while also positively uplifting others.
⠀
From my years of consulting I’ve worked with several companies to help them figure out solutions to their problems.
⠀
I’ve found that it’s easy to go into a clients business & identify the problems that need to be fixed…
⠀
But when it came to my business it was VERY difficult to see where I was going wrong.
⠀
That’s why I like to be very hard on myself.
⠀
It forces me to focus my mind & find my blindspots…
⠀
And leaves no room for me to even think about judging + criticizing someone else.
⠀
By continuing to invest heavily in myself through reading, reflection, & surrounding myself with incredible people…
⠀
I feel like I’m getting closer to knowing myself & the man I want to become.
⠀
What are some things you do to grow and learn about yourself?

Much love!

🎂 Happy Birthday to one of the truest + most lo

🎂 Happy Birthday to one of the truest + most loyal dudes I’ve ever known, my brother Bubba J (@Corey.Johnson88).
⠀
This is a picture from his wedding a few years ago at Buffalo Gap Ranch in North Dakota.
⠀
I was lucky enough to be a groomsmen + DJ with my brother Voight (@SixmicFilms) at his wedding.
⠀
What I love + appreciate about Bubba is that he’s always been there for me through it all.
⠀
Bubba J & I grew up playing football together + went to high school & college together.
⠀
Bubba J is the TRUE definitely of a cowboy.
⠀
Hard working, tough, dedicated, loyal, & trustworthy.
⠀
His family owned their ranch in Oro Grande, NM.
⠀
In the summer I would go down there to work & get ready for football season.
⠀
Those are some of the greatest memories of my life!
⠀
I learned so much from him.
⠀
Like learning to shoot a gun, how to run/operate a ranch, and too many other things to list.
⠀
It’s rare to find one person in this world to call your best friend.
⠀
I’m thankful to say Bubba J is that guy.
⠀
Enjoy your day brotha!
⠀
I’m excited & pumped to see all the INCREDIBLE success you’re having.
⠀
YOU DESERVE IT!!
⠀
Much love!

🇯🇲 Do you agree with the legend Usain Bolt (@UsainBolt) on this?
⠀
I’m really vibin’ with it.
⠀
Lately I’ve be focusing on the ending the over the start especially in business.
⠀
When I come to fitness thinking long term has always been easy for me.
⠀
In business that’s a different story...
⠀
I want everything to come so fast!
⠀
And that’s been the cause of frustration for me I’ve noticed.
⠀
Not sure why I think this way, but I’m actively working on it.
⠀
I try to think about the marathon over the race.
⠀
What do you do to focus on your longterm vision?
⠀
I’m really interested to learn from you.
⠀
Appreciate you!
Jeff

🤠 Oh you didn’t know I have cowboy in my bloo

🤠 Oh you didn’t know I have cowboy in my blood?!
⠀
Very quick story...
⠀
When I was 4 or 5 years old I would only wear cowboy boots.
⠀
I wore them everywhere!
⠀
Around the house, around town, and to school!
⠀
I loved those little boots so much and I don’t even remember why.
⠀
So when my girl Camille (@Camille_Hollins) invited me out to do some country dancing it reignited my inner cowboy.
⠀
I had to go full on New Mexican vaquero.
⠀
I dusted off my boots, put on my hat and hit the dusty trails all the way to Gilbert.
⠀
Now if you know me, you know dancing is NOT one of my strengths.
⠀
But I love pushing myself to try new things.
⠀
I’ve never danced country before so I was nervous!
⠀
But once I got to Whiskey Row (@WhiskeyRowGilbert) all my nerves went away.
⠀
I had such an awesome time watching everyone dance + kickin’ it in a dope atmosphere.
⠀
I danced a few times and….
⠀
Let’s just say ya boy needs some work!
⠀
So I added learning country dancing as one of my goals for this year.
⠀
So I’ll be seeing y’all on the dance floor!
⠀
It’s time for me to learn how to boot scoot and boogie like a pro🕺🏽
⠀
What’s one goal that you have set for yourself that makes you nervous?
⠀
Let me know!
⠀
Much love!
Jeff

🦏 Marc Ecko (@BeingMarkEcko) is an entrepreneur

🦏 Marc Ecko (@BeingMarkEcko) is an entrepreneur that I’ve respected since I was a senior in high school.
⠀
I first heard about him in 2006 when I bought his video game Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure.
⠀
The game was about a graffiti artist name Trane.
⠀
Trane would use his art of graffiti + tagging as his form of protest against corruption in the city.
⠀
The game's story and entire concept were so dope!
⠀
Because I’ve never seen that type of story + perspective done in a game before.
⠀
It made me want to learn more about the man behind the game.
⠀
I knew Marc owned Ecko Unlimited (@Ecko_Unltd).
⠀
But it was my brother Voight (@SixmicFilms) who got me invested in Marc’s story + background.
⠀
I found out that when Marc started his company he went into $6 Million in debt! ⠀
That blew my mind hearing that!
⠀
What’s incredible to me is that he survived that & cleared all of that debt.
⠀
That inspired the hell out of me!
⠀
Through his belief, grit, and determination he figured it out & made it work.
⠀
Every time I feel like complaining about my hardships in business, Marc’s story is one I use to draw inspiration from to keep moving forward.
⠀
Who inspires you to keep pressing forward when times get rough?
⠀
Much love!
Jeff

🤗 Happy Tuesday! It’s been dope connecting wi

🤗 Happy Tuesday! It’s been dope connecting with you here & I wanted to take a minute to reintroduce myself + tell you more about me.
⠀
I’ve been an athlete + gamer my entire life. I spent the majority of my time playing football in the day & video games at night.
⠀
I can’t even begin to tell you how many all nighters I pulled playing Call Of Duty (@CallOfDuty) with my crew, then going straight to practice😳
⠀
In college I discovered my passion for fitness when I went from weighing 260 lbs to 185 lbs in 4 months (big ups P90x).
⠀
I’ll tell you that full weight gain + loss story at another time…
⠀
After graduating college in 2011 I became obsessed with learning how to build a successful business.
⠀
I had a lot of close friends creating incredible lives and it inspired me to take a chance on myself.
⠀
It’s been a roller coaster journey🎢 to say the least, and I’ve learned so much in the process.
⠀
Here are 4 things you may or may not know about me:
⠀
1. 🌶 I’m born & raised in Alamogordo, New Mexico (Holloman AFB) #NMTrue. I’m the product of a military family, so if I call you sir or ma’am that should explain it.
⠀
2. ⛺️ I’m Black and Native American Occaneechi Band of the Saponi (@OBSN.2002). I get the question “What’s my race/ethnicity?” ALL THE TIME. So there you have it the secret is out 🤫
⠀
3. 👨🏽‍💻 I have my degree in Computer Science & Mathematics. And have been programming + developing software for 14 years now. Shocking right?! Most people never expect me to be a software developer (not sure why…🤔)
⠀
4. 🎓 My Great Grandfather William Jefferson White founded Morehouse College (@Morehouse1867) in Atlanta, GA. I didn’t attend, but my Granddad and uncle are both alumni.
⠀
Those are just a few quick facts about who I am and where I come from.
⠀
If you made it this far thank you for reading this!
⠀
YOU DA REAL MVP 🏆
⠀
My goal is to motivate, inspire, & help you achieve your goals in life + business any way I can.
⠀
So feel free to hit me up anytime. I always love connecting & learning about you.
⠀
Drop me a comment or DM to tell me one thing about you.
⠀
I’d love to hear from you!
⠀
Much love💪🏽
Jeff

🎺 Do you agree with Miles Davis (@MilesDavis)?

🎺 Do you agree with Miles Davis (@MilesDavis)?
⠀
I know do!
⠀
Since graduating college in 2011 I’ve spent a lot time + money joining masterminds, seminars, & consuming content.
⠀
To learn from the top people in the industry.
⠀
Whether it was fitness, entrepreneurship, gaming etc.
⠀
I would do my best to reverse engineer & model their success.
⠀
Sometimes it worked…
⠀
Most times it didn’t...
⠀
Why?
⠀
Because I was trying to do it the way they did it.
⠀
That’s a recipe for disaster in my opinion.
⠀
I could learn the all the tactics.
⠀
But the major elements that got them there was the stuff you can’t teach.
⠀
Their entire life experiences + personality + unique perspective.
⠀
Once I realized that, I stopped trying to be a carbon copy + following everybody’s idea of what it takes to be “successful”.
⠀
Since then I’ve been on a mission to learn my voice and pull from the stories of my life to “Play like myself”
⠀
Time will tell whether it works or not.
⠀
Either way I’m already happy with the outcome.
⠀
Because I’m doing it my way.
⠀
Much love 🤙🏽

🏈 This picture was taken my sophomore season wi

🏈 This picture was taken my sophomore season with the homie Jon Sweet from Clovis, NM after our NMHU Spring Ball Game in 2008.
⠀
My life goal at the time was to be the starting Strong Safety in the fall. And that all starts with how well I performed in spring ball.
⠀
I spent that entire spring semester doing 3-a-days. Waking up at 5 AM for morning workouts, 4 PM for practice and 8 PM for film study.
⠀
I remember waking up every day DREADING the day + workouts ahead. I would feel nauseous thinking about the gassers we had to run on top of everything else I had to do as a full-time student.
⠀
To add to the pain of waking up early, it would be FREEZING in Las Vegas, NM! I’m talking about 20º F or below. And we still had to train outdoors most days.
⠀
Inside I was saying to myself F THIS! Why the heck am I putting myself through this pain?!
⠀
But on the outside I would show strength, get up, put my feet to the pavement and grind it out no matter how I felt.
⠀
Because if I wanted to see the field in the fall that’s how it had to be.
⠀
It’s moments like this when I discovered that the journey to achieve what I wanted in life required a lot sacrifice and consistency.
⠀
I made a plan that semester that every night before I went to bed I would tell myself an empowering mantra.
⠀
I would say: “I am waking up at 5 AM full of energy + confidence to handle anything that comes my way”.
⠀
In theory it sounded good, but in practice there were a lot of days where I felt like it didn’t help at all.
⠀
But over time I found that the consistency of saying that mantra helped me work through that spring season staying healthy, positive and hopeful for the fall ahead.
⠀
I didn’t end up starting in the 2008 season, but I saw how much I grew in that year in all areas of my life from that daily mantra I started in the spring.
⠀
I’m extremely grateful for NMHU football because I learned how to push myself well beyond my perceived limitations.
⠀
It also taught me to appreciate my results although I missed my desired outcome of becoming a starter that season.
⠀
What was a moment where you learned the most about yourself?
⠀
Drop me a comment below. I’m interested in hearing your story.

💪🏽 Celebrate your progress + wins big or sma

💪🏽 Celebrate your progress + wins big or small.
⠀
I’ve really had to learn + practice getting better at this.
⠀
I tend to focus on these massive milestones I’ve set and easily forget the small victories in the process.
⠀
One of my goals this year is to enjoy + celebrate 4 small wins every day.
⠀
What’s one of your goals this year?
⠀
Drop a comment below to let me know.
