Real life isn't like the Marine Corp. No one's going to make you get up and run 5 miles in the mud before breakfast. No sales manager is ever going to make you step out of your comfort zone and record video testimonials with your customers or make 50 dials a day.

If you want to be successful, you're going to have to make yourself do all the little things you don't want to do.

This week's guest Steve Stauning, author of Sh*t Sandwich, says the more successful you are the more of them you have to eat.

Everyone would love to let their freak flags fly and show up for work in flips flops with a neck tattoo, but life's not fair. You have to be aware of and protective of your image and reputation, online and off. That means you don't get to rant about your opinions on Facebook all day... Not Fair!

Steve talks about how planning is overrated and overused, and the single best thing you can do to advance your career or grow your business is stop planning and start doing.

In the words of our great American philosopher, Mike Tyson "Everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth."
