*NEW* Define Your Family Workbook
INTRODUCING: MAYHEM MINDSET FOR FAMILIES
Who are YOU? What do YOU believe? What are YOUR core values?
Many families cannot answer these three questions. When asked to write or speak about what we believe, most answers are a vague idea that cannot be articulated. 99% of the families I know make all their decisions based on emotions and momentum. Let’s face it; most of us do not make the best decisions when we rely solely on our emotions.
What else is there beside emotion? The answer to that question is values. “Positive values anchor you through adversity and ground you in success!” The goal of this workbook is to help you identify, articulate, and write down the positive values you believe in, creating a tool to help you make choices and decisions that will allow you to become 100% of the person and family you were created to be!
The Define Your Family Workbook is available for purchase on the SHOP page of our website as a downloadable PDF.

Mayhem Mindset // Are You Trying To Answer The Wrong Questions?
I want to talk about a mindset tool I never talk about enough. When someone asks me a question, my first thought is always, “Are they asking me the right question?”, so I don't waste any time on the wrong question. Think about how fundamental that is, especially when you're getting yourself into a spot where people want to argue.
Mayhem Mindset // I Am Challenging You
As society is developing, it's clear that having more power without the ability to steward that power leads to the chaos we are experiencing in all of our lives right now. We are all caught in momentum we can’t control unless we first walk back to doing the right thing as an individual, family, and community.
Mayhem Mindset // Now Is Not The Time To Shrink Back
Answering the questions we face as a society starts with each of us as individuals doing some reorganization. If you don’t know who you are as an individual and are confused about what to believe, how can you possibly know what the right thing to do is for your family? How can you see where you fit in your community or what your personal responsibilities are to society?
Mayhem Mental Conditioning // Have you done the work to BE PREPARED for 2022?
In your life's greatest moments of opportunity or your darkest hour, will you be enough? Are you PREPARED?
Being PREPARED for the significant events in your life starts with knowing yourself. Finding your place in life or building culture in your family, team, or business begins with knowing yourself. Your ability to clearly articulate who you are and what you believe, then describe your intended purpose is one of the critical determining factors in being PREPARED.
In the Mayhem Mindset Process being Ready means you have your emotions in the right place at the moment, but being Ready is not enough. Being PREPARED means your emotions are under control, and you have done the work in your life to give yourself a fighting chance when opportunity strikes or you face tough times.
Becoming PREPARED is fluid and dynamic; learning is in the doing; it’s a process in the Mayhem Mindset Course. Getting PREPARED starts by defining yourself; creating language and personal philosophy or code for your life.
Don’t count on being READY, do the work to become PREPARED! Join a community of people doing the work to become PREPARED for the opportunity or adversity in their lives. S&H

Mayhem Mindset // My First Mindset Lesson
Have you noticed I finish everything I write with “Keep Coming Forward”? I got that advice from my Uncle Jim. He was like a father to me. He has passed now from cancer. He would pump his fist and say, “Son, keep coming forward; if you're going to fall today, fall forward.”
That admonishment was my first mindset lesson. Some days we move forward smoothly, everything is working. Some days it’s all we can do to lift our heads. I’ve learned I’m enough (secure with my personal identity and use my clearly defined values daily) and that no matter what happens today, I can control my attitude and effort.
Through the dark times and in the good, we have the power to control our emotions and choose to be connected to our values if we have done the work to be prepared to fight for it. Uncle Jim taught me this lesson with his words and, more importantly, how he lived. I was thinking about him; he is gone now, I miss him, and it made my heart hurt. I want to honor him today.
For everyone who has experienced a tough defining loss, If I were with you in person right now, I would stand in front of you, look you in the eyes, and give you the best troll hug I could give you. Then I would say with as much compassion and truth I have, remember them, honor them, celebrate them, and ALWAYS carry them and the truth they taught you in your heart. ~Strength and Honor

Mayhem Mental Conditioning // Mayhem Mindset Course Q&A
QUESTION #1: The idea of finding my purpose or my WHY is daunting; how do I get started?
Jim's Coaching Point: Many people think of purpose as an elusive theme for their life that will be hard to discover. In truth, it’s really not that hard to define in your life, but it does take some work. I want you to think about purpose as something specific to you; it’s unique to you as an individual, it is in your design as a person, and it comes from the essence of who you are. The Mayhem Mindset Course is a process you can use to start establishing your personal identity and get the things you believe in the most organized into clear guiding principles or core values for you to use to help you with your life’s choices. Doing this work will help you find clarity on the idea of defining purpose for your life.
Mayhem Mental Conditioning // Train Your Values Until They Become A Behavior
One of the most important mindsets for a values-based person is to remember that we must train those values, so they become the foundation of strength we operate from. Our values should be force multipliers in adversity. The adversity we face should remind us that we need our values because they are the foundation of strength we can attack the adversity from. This principle is not true because I say it is; it’s true because it’s the way we are wired as human beings; it’s as true as gravity. Training your values is just as important as becoming an expert at the right thing to do / the skill / the job / the task.
New Mayhem Mental Conditioning // DEFINE YOURSELF OR SOMEONE OR SOMETHING ELSE WILL DO IT FOR YOU!
Success should be a byproduct of living your values, not the other way around. If you do it the other way around you’re operating from position of weakness from emotion and momentum as the main driver. The amount of success and happiness that you experience in your life should be a by product of your personal core values. Not all values are equal, look around the world, the truth, now this is not me trying to be right, what I’m saying is not coming from my ego, that’s not whats was happening here. I’m an idiot, I’m a freaking idiot, everything I know is because I screwed up first not because I was so smart and got it right to begin with. Values are not equal. The way we live as Americans, our highest value of freedom, the idea of freedom of opportunity, the way we have lived as Americans up until now is proof. If you want to know what kind of tree it is look at the fruit right. If you want to know what someone says is actually authentic, look at the results of their life.
Mayhem Mental Conditioning // How Much Racism Is Tolerable?
Racism and slavery are the most significant black marks on this experiment we called the United States of America and our quest for Freedom. For me personally, I believe the value of Freedom is our most important core value. I believe as human beings; we are hardwired or created to yearn and strive for Freedom.
I believe that the evolution of humankind and our attempt to create a society with equal opportunity must make destroying the chains of slavery and racism a priority in order to protect the integrity of this experiment. We must pay attention to and learn from the communities that have had to survive and learned to thrive through the oppression that in many ways is still happening. A prime example is Native American mascots in sports. If you quit reading here because you have fallen prey to some Marxist activist who hijacked this story to divide us, you will miss an important perspective that will further educate you and bring all of us closer together, not continue to divide us.
