Quick Hit #179: Hustlers & Seekers [Audiobook Chapter]

Resist Average Academy | Tommy Baker

I’m thrilled to hold the first copies of Hustlers & Seekers in my hands. And guess what? This book is designed to do the *one* thing I’ve never seen done in the world of personal growth, to help you merge both parts of yourself: The ambitious dreamer, the relentless spirit who shows up and never takes “no” for an answer —going all in on themselves. (We’ll use ‘Hustling’ to describe this energy.) The insatiable seeker, the person on a quest for meaning, for inquiry, to know what this life is *really* about —and find the truth. (We’ll use ‘Seeking’ to describe...

Quick Hit #178: Want More Discipline? Do This.

Resist Average Academy | Tommy Baker

“You’re so disciplined, Tommy —if I had that, then I would launch the business, take the bold step, get in the best shape…” Oh, no...while I appreciate the triple scoop Hot Fudge sundae to my ego when you utter those words —here’s the truth: Discipline is *easy* when you’ve amplified your desire: Where it becomes a no brainer. Where it becomes a daily habit. Where it becomes a non-negotiable. In other words: When you want it badly enough. When you want it with every fiber of your being. When you want it more than you want to breathe. Then you’ll show up every single day...

Ep. 210 | Key Questions For a Thriving Life With Marc Champagne

Resist Average Academy | Tommy Baker

Questions. A mentor, Dr. John Demartini once told me —the quality of the questions you ask will determine the quality of our lives. But there’s a problem: when we run our lives on auto-pilot, we aren’t aware of the questions we’re asking. Which means we ask questions like: How could I ever afford to do that? Why does this always happen to me? Why can’t I seem to be further along? Instead, what if you flipped the above and asked: How can I create more value? What’s the competitive advantage this gives me? Where can I truly celebrate the blessings I have today? Enter my latest...

Quick Hit #177: Decoding Hustlers & Seekers

Resist Average Academy | Tommy Baker

You’re told to be ambitious, work your face off and complete a 7-step morning ritual before 9:30 AM —listening to Gary Vee as you pound Nitro Cold Brew. (We’ll call this ‘doing’, or Hustling.) You’re told to surrender, do the inner work, align your chakras as you meditate to binaural beats —with a backdrop of Abraham Hicks as you connect with source. (We’ll call this ‘being’, or Seeking.) So, what do you pick? Pick hustle and you’ll buy into the myth that one day you’ll get ‘there’ and arrive at the Oasis where all your problems will disappear. Pick seeking and...

Ep. 209 | Find Work That Makes You Come Alive with Jonathan Fields

Resist Average Academy | Tommy Baker

When was the last time you felt alive with the work you do? Take a moment to answer that question and don't be afraid to be radically honest. Because for a large part of my life: work did not make me come alive as I counted down the seconds until I could leave for Happy Hour. Clearly, it wasn't working. Today, I find myself blessed to wake up with vigor every single day as I pursue what matters most. And by the way, this does not mean it's easy, but that's beside the point when you're doing things that lift your spirit. And guess what? This is available to you too, and my guest is here to...

Ep. 208 | Live Louder Than You Talk with Josh Coats

Josh is a certified life coach by the John Maxwell Team, an entrepreneur, and author who was built a multi-million dollar business, helping people create a business around their lifestyle and not the other way around.

Ep. 207 | Do What You Love and Get Paid with Gretchen Rubin

Resist Average Academy | Tommy Baker

How do you find work that makes you come alive —and get paid for it? It's the ultimate question for a thriving life from the inside out. But let's face it: Most people are not doing what they love and rarely getting paid for it. The fact is: work should never be separate from life. If we do it right, our work and life create a synergetic exchange of purpose, meaning, and financial freedom. Enter the latest Academy guest, the one and only Gretchen Rubin. She’s the author of the blockbuster New York Times bestsellers, The Four Tendencies, Better Than Before, The Happiness Project, and...

Quick Hit #175: Dreams Versus Fantasies

Resist Average Academy | Tommy Baker

Do you have a dream or a fantasy? Now, let me explain with a dose of #RealTalk: Most people have fantasies —thinking that ‘someday’ it’s all going to happen to them in a stroke of fortune: A magical moment where Oprah finds them. A magical moment where an investor shows up. A magical moment when they’re ‘ready’ to start. (Look at what these have in common: a reliance on an external event instead of using agency —the power of choice.) And guess what? Fantasies are like unicorns —they’re adorable little things but: They stop you from showing up. They stop you from doing the...

More Episodes

Everyone loves the idea of accountability until they’re punched in the face with it —and the ego starts to come up with random excuses.

Here’s the deal:

Accountability is a form of caring.
Accountability is a form of respect.
Accountability is a form of real talk.

And if you do it right —accountability becomes the secret sauce to following through on your word.

But guess what?

The ego will do anything in its power to run away, avoid and ignore accountability.

Why?

Because it doesn’t want you to grow.
Because it doesn’t want you to expand.
Because it doesn’t want you to flourish.

In this Quick Hit, I'll share how to double down on accountability in your life and business for massive results.
