THE GUEST
Today’s guest is Michael Bernoff, who is a speaker, successful author and a results Coach with the powerful ability to tap into virtually anyone’s motivation strategy; building charisma, influence, and connection. A master practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Michael is known for showing people how to get results, increase their lifestyle, and improve their physical health and confidence. His passion is to share his communication and transformation strategies with others.
In this interview, we discuss why average sucks and how you need to level up your average to achieve the dreams. We chat about goal-setting, motivation, mindset hacks to stop holding yourself back, and so much more.
This was the interview that helped me deal with some bull-shit I had been using to stop myself from achieving my bigger goals and leveling up my life. During the interview, Michael actually sorts some issues I have and you see him in action, he’s not like most life coaches, he’s a real and effective coach with the ability to really help you.
I definitely want a round two with Michael and will be looking to take part in his Call to Action as I truly see this as life-changing and would encourage you to sign up for it too.
LISTEN HERE
WHAT IS DISCUSSED
In this interview, we discuss gems like:
- Who they are
- Why what he does is not life-coaching
- What he sees as common issues with clients
- The importance of averages in your life
- What is our identity
- How to change our identity
- Do we lie to ourselves to justify what we don’t have in our lives?
- Michael actually does a live fix on my mindset during the interview!!
- A common frame we have in our life that is holding us back
- How do we start changing our lives and working towards what we want?
- How do we take out the emotion in our thinking and ways of acting
- The importance of pictures, sounds, and feelings
- Does he use any apps for tracking his mindset, thinking for the changes
- Why he struggled to get his book out
- How your brain deals with a negative compared to a positive
- The difference between a want and a dream
- Is it a Tiger or an Eeyore moment?
- How you can connect with them
KEY POINTS TO REFLECT ON & LINKS MENTIONED
- Communication is the most underdeveloped and underutilised asset that we have.
- Setting goals rarely work as men don’t make plans for how they are going to get what they want, they just think what they don’t want and what they do want .. this leads you to feelings of being stuck, as you see what you want but not sure how to get there
- “Fear is uncertainty, fear is a way of explaining that you are about to do/experiencing something that you don’t have a pattern or a programme for. So when this happens your brain sends an emotion, that we call fear but really it’s just the uncertainty we have with our current situation”
- “Most people pick the life they want when they are pissed off”
- “There is a disconnect between your brain and your body”
- “We are misreading the messages” from our jealousy and depression and the like, and instead of using them to change our life and go after the goals we want, we instead decide to tolerate where we are and not go towards where we want
- Real self-improvement isn’t sexy, but we would rather have the deep, dark reasons behind why we can’t, to justify our inability to do it too. These reasons are BS, just do the work!
- You need to decide, who is running your life – the past you or the current you
- ‘Up until now’ is the new language you need to start using, to stop beating yourself up about your past, but also to let your current self now take over and run with things
- Most people go for the big change, so they can fail and validate their current place in life
- Change the word, change the feeling = change how you describe something to remove the feelings, the power over you that it has. Michael couldn’t work out, he had made it a emotional dislike in his life, when he changed the word to train, he removed the wall that he had built in his own life and could get the work in
- Your brain holds onto a negative far longer than a positive as it tries to protect you, protects you from experiencing that again

What you’ll find there
AVERAGE SUCKS …
You’ve tried everything they told you to do. You pushed, you hustled. Nothing is really wrong, and yet, you’re unsatisfied with where you are. You’re painfully aware that there’s another level you can reach, and think you know what you need to do to get there. The only problem is you’re not doing it–at least not consistently. It’s not your fault that you feel stuck. There’s an invisible force holding you back, and in Average Sucks, Michael Bernoff shows you what it is and what you can do about it. Michael is not teaching business strategy, and this is not a book designed to bury you in busywork. It’s an invitation to meet the real you. The one who lives life the way they want to live. Michael is going to show you how to easily change the way you think and how you do things, so you can enjoy more success and more fun while you’re at it. You deserve better than average, you’re capable of it, too–isn’t it time to go get it?

WHEY PROTEIN SUPPORTS MUSCLE GAINS
Whey protein isolate is the purest form of whey available. Unlike whey concentrate, whey isolate has had the fat and carbs from its milk source filtered out, leaving you with what you want—straight protein to help you build muscle and change your body composition, and no excess calories or sugar.
Whey isolate not only contains all the essential amino acids that the body needs to build muscle, it’s high in leucine—a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) that signals muscle protein synthesis. Whey isolate has more leucine per gram than eggs, milk, or soy protein.
BUILD YOUR ENERGY AND YOUR FOCUS!
We’ve always believed that the best version of ourselves starts with the mind. That’s why we’ve dedicated the past 5 years to create great-tasting products that conveniently and effectively get us in the right state at the right time.
Functional gum and mints to energize, calm and focus you in the moment.
