Vigor Life Podcast
About this episode

Catching up with my close friend Paul Mort is always insightful, loaded with value, combined and combined with a lot of laughs. If you want to get better as a father, husband, business man, and human, and achieve your goals, then this is a can’t miss episode. 


Paul Mort is a two time UK Master Coach of The Year, world class coach, and international speaker. A straight talking, high  performing leader of business men. Formerly suicidal, overwhelmed, diagnosed bi-polar. Stood on the edge of a cliff, ready to end it all... until his wife stood in front of him and asked him ONE pivotal question: "Do you really want the kids to grow up as the kids whose Dad killed himself..."


At that moment Paul knew he had to fight one last fight for his family. And set upon seeking out the worlds foremost experts and since - his books, courses, videos and content has literally reached the lives of millions of people... Now Paul spends his time coaching men around the world to RECLAIM their power, take control, find clarity, direction and inner peace while lighting a FIRE under their ass to CHASE their dreams and lead their family. 


 IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

=> Why Paul Mort wrote his book before even going to the publisher and changed the same from “Unfuckwithable.”

=> The biggest obstacle from growing in business and life is _______ (not what you think). 

=> Paul believes you should do things you doubt you can do, here’s why!

=> The power of getting into the mental weight room and why you must plan it just like the physical weight room. 

=> Discomfort is a sign that you’re growing or are about to grow, seeking it out is the key. 

=> Why belief is NOT important in achieving your goals but doing this is CRITICAL. 

=> The “5 Wins” strategy that has changed Pauls confidence and life. 

=> You feel what you are focused on and most people focus their attention on all that has gone wrong in their life.

=> The science of reliability and one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself. 

=> Excuses are the language of the unreliable, and reliability is the currency of trust. 

=> Why expecting things to go wrong is a smart thing to do (and the Stoics knew it).

=> The reason your goal setting isn’t working, because first things you have to do is eliminate. 

=> Why Paul stopped doing stand up comedy even though he got TV offers (as it was hurting his business). 

=> How failing fast is a key in success and why Paul started doing BBJ competitions more often. 

=> Paul’s experience in a European sauna and how something uncomfortable can become normal. 

=> How Paul has built a multi million dollar business with his main marketing strategy being email marketing. 

=> A critical business strategy, being able to buy back your time - Paul breaks down how to do it.
