Today, Pete is joined by Liam O’Neil aka “The Prove It Guy’ a martial arts expert who is currently teaching, speaking and training individuals and companies to reach their full potential. In this episode Pete and Liam discuss the importance of believing that you can achieve whatever it is you want out of life, how to face your fears and how to change your negative mindset into a positive one.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• People come from different upbringings and childhoods, you can come from a home where you had nothing or you can come from a home that had everything and still not know what you want to do with your life. If you believe that your childhood dictates the life you are destined to lead, then you absolutely will become that. However, if you are willing to challenge that stereotype and move outside your comfort zone, then you have the ability to achieve whatever you want.

• You should never worry about what other people think about you. You should only worry about the task at hand. Social media has really made people's self esteem plummet. The obsession with likes, shares and views is terrible because it often makes people change their long standing morals in exchange for likes. People are continuously seeking validation on social media.

• We are designed to look for negatives, through evolution and our own pasts when it was all about survival. You constantly look for the bad berries, the bad animals and the bad people. We are very good at spotting negative stuff and we continuously look for that. Rather than say ‘what if somebody boo’s my performance’ think to yourself ‘but what if somebody claps’.

• People are afraid of death but are unwilling to look at why they are afraid of it. If you are experiencing anxiety related to your fear of death it is important to understand where the fears have manifested from. It could be because you are scared to never see your family again, to not travel the world or eat nice meals. Whatever you are afraid of missing out on, make sure you are doing in the present. If you don’t, you are already ‘dead’ as you are living your fear.

• Whatever you are taught to believe, question it. If you don’t question it then you will believe it and your belief becomes fact, that is how humans seem to work. Every lesson in the world can be amazing and rubbish, it depends on who is learning.

BEST MOMENT

“It was also the challenge of going back to those people that told me I would make nothing of my life and saying ‘look what I did’.

“I just made the decision..something in my head went ‘it is probably a good idea to stick with the KungFu rather than go down that other route.”

“No matter who the audience is, I can get them up.”

“Sometimes I will let things go, other times I decide to stand up for myself but I am very much an all or nothing, if i decide to stand up for myself then I am going to be the biggest person in the room.”

“I want to help people, and if you want to be helped, you will.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

 Liam O’Neil https://www.limitationisamirage.com

“I have been studying Martial arts since I was 16. At the age of 21, I started learning about hypnosis, psychology and magic of the mind as a way to develop my training. Together with my extensive knowledge of body mechanics, I am able to perform astounding feats of strength and control, using my mind, my body or both. When I’m not developing my own abilities, I spend my time helping individuals and companies to realise their full potential. These days, my principal focus is teaching, speaking and training. However, people learn best when they are entertained, not bored. I spent many years entertaining audiences both large and small at corporate events, night clubs, comedy clubs, weddings and parties — even out on the street! I believe my extensive experience as an entertainer is of immense benefit in my current work. Nobody learns anything when they’re bored! My main theme is, ‘Limitation Is A Mirage’. I show individuals and companies how to get past self-limiting beliefs and practices, and start the real process of turning dreams, goals, ambitions and targets into reality. I’m also known as ‘The Prove-It Guy’. I think audiences, especially in the corporate sphere, have had enough of words that sound good but don’t connect with the practical concerns of running a successful business. Every principle I teach, I can demonstrate. Everything I demonstrate, I can teach.”
