EP35 - Justin Recla on Unlocking Superpowers and Making an Impact

Entrepreneurship is about unlocking your inner superpowers and
making an impact. It's about being courageous enough to grab an
opportunity and follow your gut. It’s about being gritty enough
to make your idea a reality. 


When you help others, it comes back to you. That is the concept
of Karma. It does not matter what culture you are from. Apply the
idea of karma and watch what unfolds in your world.

A summary of our conversation  


Justin’s message is very simple. Help others, do things better,
and have self-dominion in everything you do. Take control of your
own life.


Justin and his wife Tonya are both former counterintelligence
agents with the US government. They ended up teaching a
counterintelligence Special Agents course in which they trained
new agents. Tonya is part of the top 1% of agents that have
testified in a Federal Court on an actual espionage case. 


What started as a corporate counterintelligence business led to a
coaching practice. They started coaching CEOs and COOs on
everything they taught counter-intel agents and helped people
deconstruct their thoughts so they could get to the truth of how
it all works. So, they can go out and be a creator in the world
and not a consumer. Those are superpowers! 


Today we are seeing a hopeful trend in the business and
entrepreneurial world. Hopeful, because the old way of doing
business is fading. The old goal of the business was to make as
much money as you possibly can. What is happening today is that
there is more focus on impact. Overtaking profitability. When you
focus on impact, the money will follow. 


1.        First is recovery. Recovery is
recognizing that you don’t have to go, go, go all the time
because it is important to take time and recharge. Take time to
unplug and set boundaries around your work life. Set up rules for
how much you will do at a given time and learn to step away.
 


2.       Next is to take your time and stick
to a routine. You do not have to jump into the workday right when
you wake up. Do some reflection on the previous day. Does your
workday need some tweaking? If you don’t address it, then the
energy from the previous day will carry over into that day and
build up, and you can not create from that space. 


3.       Finally, it is gratitude. Gratitude
is the magic sauce of all things, the secret to unlocking
abundance in your world. When you are grateful for everything you
have, the universe will give you more. If you are not satisfied
with what you have now, what makes you think that if you had
more, you would be satisfied? Take a look at what you have in
life and recognise that at the end of the day, you do not need
much.  


Everyone has a superpower that can be used in both professional
and personal settings. You have the power to help others, get
ahead of others, and make an impact on the world around you. If
you know what your powers are, you can use them to succeed at
anything.
