He is a Franchise Consultant and Sales Trainer for one of the largest and most successful real estate companies in the nation, John L. Scott. At the height of his real estate career he sold 10's of millions of dollars in real estate each year.

On the outside, it looked like James was living the ultimate dream, but along the way, he had lost his sense of purpose.

James realized that conventional measures of achievement can keep even the best performers from finding fulfillment. He mistakenly defined himself by his accomplishments rather than by who he was, which in turn, made him miserable!

To help others find purpose and redefine what matters most, James created his Personal Resucceed Coaching program where he helps high achieving professionals and entrepreneurs get more from life. He recently published his first book, RESUCCEED: Create an Extraordinary Future While You Sleep by Using the 5-Minute Epic Evening Ritual. In this book, James shares insight into the "purposeless epidemic" and breaks down the transformational evening ritual that's helping people reclaim their lives and find true happiness.

Quotes:                                                                                                                                   

“What if, instead of living a life where you're not enough—but hopefully someday in the future you will be—we live a life where we're already enough?” – James Colburn

“We're all addicted to something—and for some of us, it's adrenaline, dopamine, ego, or the constant upward arrow on the bar graph.” – James Colburn

“Life doesn't promise there are only ups; there are downs. What goes up comes down, but guess what? What goes down comes up.” – James Colburn

Takeaways:

03:42 High achievers often chase success without building daily fulfillment into their lives.

06:44 Asking three reflective questions before bed can unlock creative problem-solving through your subconscious mind.

15:39 Believing you are already "enough" is more powerful than constantly trying to prove your worth.

26:44 Small, consistent habits can transform your approach to personal and professional growth.

30:23 Sleep and self-kindness are critical tools for sustainable success.
