Final Results - 30 Day Vegan Challenge
Terry Carter
This episode I breakdown the results of my 4 week vegan challenge. Although I was only planning on doing it for a month, I have decided to continue on with my plant based life. My end weight after the 4 week challenge was 177.6 pounds and I started out at 181.4 pounds. I essentially lost 5 pounds by not changing a thing, I still worked out, meditated, and surfed, but only cut out meat and dairy from my diet. I’m feeling and looking better than ever. What has really helped me is having the support of my wife, who also did this challenge with me. She has been doing a lot of cooking which has...

30 Day Vegan Challenge
Terry Carter
Today I'm going to talk about my 30 Day Plant Based Diet that I'm trying. As a successful musician you can't perform at a high level if you don't feel good. Many of you know that I'm big on exercise, eating well, meditating, positive thinking, and reading a lot. Although lately I haven't been feeling 100%. I wouldn't say that I have felt bad, but I feel like there was some room for improvement. In attempts to better health I decided to do a 30 day all plant based diet. This is something that I'm a little scared of. I have eaten meat and dairy my entire life so giving it up, even for 30 days is...

How To Deal With Failure When You Suck
Terry Carter
In this 4K motivational video I'll discuss how I dealt with a performance where I sucked and learned to be better. Part of any kind of success is also going through some low points or failures. Today instead of telling you something I did well at or excelled at, I’m going to discuss something that I failed at. This is a story that is hard to discuss because we want to believe that we always perform at high levels and that we are essentially “perfect.” I got a call from a good buddy and wanted to know if I wanted to teach a summer guitar class and perform for the faculty concert at what...

Track Your Goals | Lose Weight | Sugar Detox
Terry Carter
In this 4K motivational video I'll discuss how to Track Your Goals and achieve the success in life that you are looking for. You have your dreams and you set your goals but now you have to track your progress along the way. I'm going to use my weight as an example to demonstrate how you can use tracking to reach your goals. I set a goal to get to 180 pounds. Since I was at 191 pounds that meant that I had to lose 11 pounds. My first step was to start a sugar and carb detox. For 3 weeks we completely cut out sugars, yes even fruit, and all carbs (breads, grains, etc.). I still did my daily...

Hearing My Music On MTV
Terry Carter
In this podcast I'll discuss how and when I got my first composition on MTV. Around the time I was graduating from the University of Southern California with my Master of Music in Studio/Jazz Guitar, I was working around Los Angeles as a professional musician. One of the things I wanted to get into more than anything was studio recording work. At the time I was mainly playing guitar but I was also working up my skills as a lap steel, dobro, banjo, and mandolin player. I was also studying country guitar with the great Steve Trovato and loving anything that had twang, like Johnny Cash, Jerry...
info_outlineEveryone has talent, you can’t make it as a musician or in any profession if you don’t have talent.
At some point you will realize that everyone is so good. What separates the legendary people versus the average people? That’s what we are going to discuss today.
We are going to examine the professional career of NFL quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. Nothing has been handed to him and has gone from someone that no one believed in to the most successful quarterback in NFL history.
There are 3 things that stand out about Tom Brady that separates him from all the other quarterbacks that play or have played professional football.
1. Heart
2. Hard Work
3. Taking advantage of opportunities
Even his coach for the Patriots, Bill Belichick, says Tom Brady doesn’t have a lot of natural talent, but he has great instincts, and takes advantage of every opportunity that’s given to him. He works hard and finds a way to win.
Brady was drafted into the NFL in 2000, he was the 199th pick. That means that there were 198 football players selected before him. That was also the 6th round of the draft and there were 6 quarterbacks taken before him. Even the New England Patriots selected 5 other players before they drafted Tom.
Nobody believed that Brady was going to become anything special in the league.
What did Tom Brady achieve? (as of this 2018 video)
- 5 NFL Super Bowl Championships
- 4 Super Bowl MVP’s
- 3 League MVP’s (was 40 years old when he won it in 2018)
How did he do it?
1. Heart - when no one else believes in you, you have to believe in yourself. You have to put people’s opinions behind you and take that frustration and anger and apply it to you work ethic. Apply it to how you think and how your going to get better every single day.
2. Take advantage of your opportunities - In 2001, Brady’s 2nd year, starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe goes out for the season with an injury. This was Tom’s change to step up and become a leader. He not only has a successful season but he leads the Patriots to the Super Bowl and wins.
- How did do this? He had to be ready, he had to prepared, he had to put the work in beforehand and be ready when his number was called.
- People are given opportunities in this world all the time but many of them are not ready, they are not prepared physically or mentally. These people you never hear about.
- How do Brady get prepared? Day in and day out grinding, learning, watching film, and always getting better.
- How are you taking care of your body and mind? What’s your routine, are you getting enough sleep, are you eating right, are you exercising properly and doing the things necessary for your body?
- What are you doing for your mind? How are you growing, how are you getting stronger? You have to have a powerful mindset that keeps you going every single day.
3. Work Ethic - This is what separates the talented from the legendary. There will always be someone younger then you and better than you. The way to overcome this is to up work your competition. You may have to stay up all night, you have to learn, you have to watch videos, you have to get mentors, and grow everyday. You can't control others but you can control is how hard you work.
Everyone has talent, the person that is going to become legendary is the one that works the hardest. Think Tom Brady, think 199.
