Warrior Mind Coach In-depth Interview

During my many interviews I often asked about surviving an avalanche.  This time Matt Horwitz takes it a step further and gets done to some things from the way…way…back.

I hope you will find this information not only enjoyable, but encouraging as well.  Truly…there are no blocks to our success except for the one’s we build.

I discuss:

  • Some of my major obstacles when I was younger
  • How these helped form my philosophy
  • How mental strength plays a role in everything we do
  • The complacent zone
  • And few more great chunks of information

Enjoy the interview with Warrior Mind Coach

THE ART & SCIENCE OF CHANGE

Self-Improvement, personal development, self-growth, self-help, spiritual practice…you say that all these are about one thing: CHANGE.  Let’s unpack this a bit…Why is change so difficult, and what can we do to face these difficulties, and eventually overcome them?

You mention this… what do these things have in common: your car, your home, your office, your life, your income, your weight.  They all have “set points” that define the upper and lower limits, but the different between us and the others, is that our “set point”… or our mental resistance threshold is unconsciously determined by us.
