E181: Working on Your Game with Dre Baldwin

One of the greatest keys to success is discipline. Forcing yourself to be disciplined, however, isn’t easy. Willpower doesn’t always come naturally. So what does it take to work on your game? In this conversation, coach, author, and speaker Dre Baldwin teaches how to build discipline and confidence. You don’t have to fake it until you make it. Instead, as Baldwin believes, you can become the person you really want to be right from the get-go. Following his 9-year basketball career, Dre began producing YouTube content and soon walked down the entrepreneurial path selling $4.99 basketball training programs. He eventually created weekly motivation videos to get people in the right mindset. Those videos then became the foundation for his current company, Work On Your Game, where he teaches people the right kind of mindset and strategies to put them at the top of their industry.
