Belief and the beRICH mindset
Beliefs drive our behaviors, our actions and our reactions. They influence how people see and interact with us. They produce and determine our inner circles and even our perceptions of the world around us. Beliefs Matter It’s why we, JB and The Doctor created the Entrepreneur Mastery Lab (EML) and it’s why we built the #beRICH mindset as our core value system. Both the EML and the beRICH mindset are products of our belief systems. So what are our beliefs and how can you see and feel them? Here’s a few. We all want to be great and be a part of something great Community will allow us to become greater than ourselves and will create opportunities for legacy and impact There’s no real fulfillment in being materially successful, we need to lift others up with us We can always do better Life requires constant experimentation The beRICH mindset The beRICH mindset is about living a fulfilled and satisfied life. It specifically states: R – Rise to mastery Whether it’s in your profession, your craft, your personal development, we need to develop mastery to develop respect for ourselves. Without true dedication and mastery there is no true self respect. I – Inspire greatness Being an inspiration to others means leading by example. It’s earning the reputation of living a life aligned with your beliefs even when it’s hard, and even when no one is looking. C – Celebrate knowledge Knowledge is the tool we use to better ourselves and the people around us. Celebrating the quest for knowledge and rewarding ourselves for the development of our minds is a must. H – Help others along the way People are tribal. We are not meant to be alone. Everyday we make the choice to develop the community around us. When we do, we find we strengthen ourselves. We are the multiple and the prodigy of the community around us, as they are of us. Entrepreneur Mastery Lab (EML) If you’re in the EML it’s because of our belief system and that you share some, or all, of our beliefs. The lab was created as movement and a vehicle to better the way that we do business and live our lives. If you’re not a member we highly encourage you to join right now and become a part of something greater than yourself.

Our Favorite Ways To Break The Ice
Let’s face it. Talking to strangers is uncomfortable. If it was easy, everyone would do it! Yet how many times have you gone to a social event and felt the awkwardness and discomfort that comes from being outside of your comfort zone? The good news is we can build our confidence and become fantastic at introducing ourselves to new people, and make them feel great too! We just need to learn the best way to break the ice for ourselves. Here are a couple of really good ways to break the ice that we enjoy. 1. Ask for their opinion! People love to talk about themselves and one of the easiest ways to engage with someone is ask for their thoughts. One of our favorites is to make an observation about something striking or unique around you and ask their thoughts about it. 2.Use some humor! Most people will respond well to humor if it defuses an otherwise tense situation, for both of you. If you’re comfortable cracking a joke, go for it! Note of caution…not everyone will share your sense of humor so be aware of the type of joke you’re going to lead with. 3. Compliment them! Most people will appreciate a genuine compliment and it’s a fantastic way to disarm them while introducing yourself. There’s a number of other ways you can break the ice, think: pop culture, a feel good story you heard or read about, a story about a similar situation with a positive outcome, friendly light competition.
