Welcome to the Level Up Podcast.
I'm your host, Paul Alex.
I went from being a comp to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day.
I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals.
Let's win together.
Remember, I have your six.
Get ready to level up right now.
Welcome back to the level up podcast.
I'm Paul Alex.
And in three minutes, you will learn how to work harder and stay human.
As a former detective, I pushed past fatigue more than once.
Adrenaline can carry you for a night.
It cannot carry you for years.
I learned to pace the mission.
So, in business, I almost forgot that lesson.
I tried to be everywhere for everyone.
My work grew, my health shrank, and I returned to simple guardrails.
Sleep like it is part of the job.
You got to fuel like you respect tomorrow.
Move your body and your mood will follow.
These basics keep me sharp on the street.
They keep me sharp in meetings too.
Hard work is a gift when it is focused.
Hard work is a threat when it is frantic.
I'll work in others.
It's not about hours alone, guys.
It's about clean hours.
It's about deep focus.
It's about saying no to the noise that you could say yes to craft.
So you can be kind and firm at the same time.
You can chase goals and you can protect your peace.
You can move fast and still breathe, guys.
Your edge grows when your energy is steady.
Your ideas get better when your mind is clear.
Your team is going to trust you when your mood is even.
Let rest be your fuel.
Let purpose be your compass.
There's an honor in a full day done well, guys.
There is power in in a full week stacked with care.
Win the long race with calm effort.
Win the long race with clean choices.
So what's the moral for the pod?
I'll work with wisdom, not chaos.
It'll be less stressful.
