Heroes!

Michael here. 👋

Happy Sunday.

Hope that you and yours have had another fantastic week!

Did you use this week’s new Philosopher’s Note on Deion Sanders’ Elevate and Dominate as a trigger to take your Heroic protocol to the next level?

Committing every morning to being the best version of yourself?!

And then hitting those target behaviors all day, every day?!

Remember, per Deion: “Here’s the deal about a routine: You better commit to it! You’ve got to BELIEVE what you’re committing to. You can’t skip days. You’ve gotta stick to it EVERY SINGLE DAY. If you’re telling me that you don’t have time for a routine, I’m telling you that you better FIND TIME. There’s ALWAYS time to prioritize the important things in your life. It must be at the top of your list.” 💪

In addition to the new Note, we’ve got another set of Heroic +1s, another milestone for Areté, Luminary Coach Guest Faculty, community inspiration, and more.

Let’s get to it!

1. Elevate and Dominate by Deion Sanders

This week’s new Philosopher’s Note is on Elevate and Dominate by Deion Sanders.

“Hey baby, it’s Coach Prime. Thanks for picking up my book. Let’s cut to the chase. Here’s how this is gonna go down. I don’t want to lecture. Let’s have a real conversation. That’s so much better. That’s so much more intimate. I’m guessing you’re interested in this book because you’re looking for ANSWERS. That’s why you’re here, right? Well, we’ll get to those in a little bit. But first, I got a few questions for YOU.

Do you feel like the BEST PARTS of life are just passing you by? Are you spending most of your time just WORRYING? Do you HATE going to work every morning? Have you forgotten what it’s like to have a TRUE PASSION for the things you’re involved in? Do you still have DREAMS?

When your head hits the pillow every night, are you at PEACE? When you look in the mirror, do you LIKE what you see? DO YOU HAVE A PLAN AND WHAT IS IT? How do you ATTACK your days?

Let’s get this straight. I AM A COACH. I want to be YOUR coach. So, what we need off the rip is a game plan.

We’re gonna lay out twenty-one ways—that’s right, twenty-one ways… you know I wore 21, right?—for you to win on and off the field. If you follow this plan, it’s gonna ELEVATE you in every area of your life. And when you ELEVATE, that means you’re ready to DOMINATE. …

Yes, I have made a lot of mistakes. But I’ve also done a lot of good—and I think I’ve only just begun. I’m not average. I’m not typical. I don’t think you are either.

I want to bring some CLARITY, PURPOSE, and PASSION to your world. So let’s make this journey together, tackling this very complicated, very rewarding thing called life together. Show up for me, bring an open mind, and let’s see if these things don’t make a little sense to you.

After that, the next step is all about becoming all you were meant to be. Let’s go!”

— Deion Sanders from Elevate and Dominate

3. Heroic Community Highlights

Check out Marc's post about getting his first rep in by leading a Heroic Local workshop, Bradley's post about his renewed Heroic journey, and our very own (very awesome!) Calman's post about his life-changing decision to attend a Heroic Training.

Love how Mark celebrated the content and the ripples spreading out:

Got my first rep in leading a Heroic Local workshop yesterday. Lots to celebrate…and plenty that needs work…but the content is 🔥.

Sending out Heroic ripples in Lima, Ohio and looking forward to connecting with those attending the upcoming event in Austin. 👊

And Bradley highlighting the power of long-term support:

Today marks Day 1 of my renewed journey. Hank and I were assigned as Heroic buddies as part of coach class XIV - Hank graduated with the class last November, I fell behind (gap). I’m jumping back into my Heroic Coaching program NOW. Today is Day 1. I AM ALL IN!

Thanks for sticking with me, Hank! Your event was a revelation, your daily protocol an inspiration. Here's to many more days of closing the gap between who we are and who we could be in service to our brothers, our community and the world. ⛰️ 🥾 🥶 🤣

If you’re not on Heroic social yet, we’d love to see you there! Come connect and feel the power of a community committed to showing up as their best while changing the world—together!
