Yes, the guy on the right in this photo with his face painted scarlet and gray is me. I make no apologies in the least.

On New Year's Day, my wife, my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law, and myself had the incredible privilege of attending the Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena, California to see the college football playoff game between my beloved Ohio State Buckeyes and the University of Oregon. It was an epic game, and the fact that our seats were on the Oregon side of the field in the midst of all their fans made the experience even more enjoyable for me.

I screamed so much during the game that I injured my vocal cords. This experience will forever be a treasured memory.  

(Unfortunately, my injured vocal cords made coaching sessions the following two days after the game a bit challenging. Whoops.)

Those that know me know I am a massive fan of THE Ohio State Buckeyes. A friend of my wife recently commented that my Buckeye fandom is a completely different side of me that is seldom seen and a bit surprising. While I understand her sentiment, it's not accurate. I am like this in every area of my life. Let me explain...

Did you know that the word "fan" is a derivative of the word fanatic?

To say that someone is a fan of something is really just another way of saying that they are a fanatic about something. So, what does it mean to be a fanatic?

In my observation, the word fanatic carries a negative connotation of sorts. Many feel the word fanatic means to be over the top, excessive, crazy, loud, delusional, dogmatic, etc...

In my understanding, however, the word fanatic simply means to be all in. I am typically all in about anything I take part in. 

For me, being all in at an Ohio State football game looks like painting my head and cheering my team on with enthusiasm. (I do understand that this may be unique to me, lol)

In my relationship with others, being all in looks like unwavering commitment and presence. It also looks like service to the other.  

In my work as a life coach, being all in means I hold full energetic space for my clients in order to serve them in gaining consciousness, clarity, and inner wellbeing so they can move into complete freedom in their lives.

In conversations with others, being all in looks like leaning into my curiosity and asking questions of the other person. It also looks like attentive listening as well.

With the world around me, being all in means I truly see people and each moment from a place of acceptance and non-judgement. It means becoming more quiet and observant in life, and also speaking up and offering my perspective occasionally when needed.

I could go on and on, but you get the point. While being a fan (fanatic) may look different in different settings and situations, there is only one effective way to be with life. To get the most out of life, we must be all in (a fanatic).

The vast majority of people, however, are not all in when it comes to life and living. This is precisely why people stay stagnant and stuck in cycles of repetitive suffering and struggle. The reason for this is because of a low inner credit score.

Low inner credit shows up for people in four major areas:

1. Mindset, stress, anxiety, and mental anguish.

2. Money and financial struggle.

3. Poor physical health, and low life-force energy. 

4. Relational struggle and drama.

In my work as a life coach, I have observed that unless a person addresses these four areas in life, they will stay in cycles of suffering and limitation despite their best efforts to change and break free.     

On January 21st of this month, I will be launching a brand new program that will help you become all in in life by addressing these four important areas so we can significantly raise our inner credit score.

Time is limited and registration will be closing soon. My encouragement for you is not to wait another year before you decide to be all in in life. Death is an assurance for us all and the future isn't promised to any of us. Life is abundant, yet fragile. Don't take it for granted. Living can only happen today.
       
Life isn't a punishment, it's an abundant gift that unfolds the more all in we become. If you are ready to die to the illusion of limitation and powerlessness that has held you back from accessing the abundant capital of life, I would like you to watch this special video about my new program that I created for you HERE…

If this video about the program resonates with you in any way, let me encourage you to send me a message HERE.

Let's be all in this New Year,
