Full Show Transcription:

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Elevating Beyond, and before I really get into it, first of all, I'm in the studio right now.

I think I'll be recording another part of this in my other office at Dreamshine, which is a whole other story, which goes to what I have had written down, which I have been needing to talk to all of you about, is what I'm calling today's show Under Pressure.

That's right.

How do we deal with the pressure, especially to business owners, I'm talking to you who've been standing firm since this crap with COVID and everything else has hit from March on, it's now nearing October 2020 as I do this.

And this pressure's real, and I'm going to push forward to how I've dealt with what I've dealt with and how to get back and stay on to that freaking complete focus and flip the switch to that killer instinct that you have inside you and run towards the gunfire when everyone else is running away, because this is what we need to do.

This is what we do.

There's no other option and this pressure's been real.

And as I was starting at the beginning, welcome back to Elevating Beyond with a two word mission statement, change lives.

You turn on the freaking TV, I don't care if you're a Democrat, Republican.

Look, I'm going to just keep being more and more real with you all.

It's stupidity.

I think parties are a joke.

I've always thought it was stupidity. And my honest opinion is you should always vote for whatever person that you believe has the best characteristics and core values of what you believe in.

I don't give a crap what party they're in and all this political stupidity that's going on, that's dividing people and adding more and more pressure. And by the way, don't forget ladies and gentlemen, the news is a freaking business and they are banking more from more viewers.

This is the most viewership they've had since the biggest tragedy of 9/11.

So I'll be the one to say it. They act like they don't love these pandemics and catastrophes and crisises, but they do.

And they love to elevate and not really do their jobs as journalists anymore and share the facts and really investigate the stories to help lead you and educate and empower you.

Instead, it's dumping more pressure and fear and telling you how you should feel and filling you with anger and dividing everyone more. And there's 20 billion issues constantly going on, depending on what channel you watch. And it will get overwhelming.

And they edit the stupid little clips that give you a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a freaking story.

And what I'm here to say is if we're going to defund anything, defund the freaking news.

You got the control, you got the power button.

Turn that crap off.

My wife watches it all the time. I pop my earbuds in. "But Mark, how are you going to learn what's going on?"

You think that freaking popular news channels are really telling you factually what's going on?

Okay? Nope.

They're filling you with more drama and pressure and fear and tension and hate.

And I watch more people finish doing the news and they get angry at each other for stuff they weren't even mad about before. You've got to pay attention to what you put into your mindset.

You have to guard it and I'm telling you, in my own life, I don't care ... Look I'm past ... Whatever you, I really don't care if you agree with me or not. I'm right. Turn that sh#% off.

I don't care if you watch Fox.

I don't care if you watch CNN, turn it off.

It's crap. Okay?

Guard your mindset.

Take action by doing what you need to do by following the purpose in your heart.

That's what you can control in the corner of the world that you're in.

Continue to take action. Don't waste time with all that negativity in drama and defund them, turn them off.

Don't let anyone else tell you or dictate what you should feel.

That's the way abusive relationships work. It's dysfunctional. That's what the news is.

Okay?

Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off.

Focus on you.
