On the MIGHT Mastery call today, PRO Leadership Corps member Peter Hobler told an incredible story of a life cut short, but lived to the fullest – the story of his brother, Chris.

Chris Hobler was a musician who toured the United States for years, opening shows for well known bands and traveling thousands of miles. Music was his passion. But Chris’s life would be changed when he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, in the summer of 2001.

Many people in Chris’s position would have given up on their passion after getting such devastating news, but Chris found a new passion through it: helping to advance research into neurolog…

On his WAKE UP call today, PRO Founder Jay Kubassek brought on his first mentor, John Lavenia, to talk about some of the things John is excited to bring to the PRO community. John announced that his personal Black Belt Mentoring system will be available to PRO members later this week.

John’s mentoring system philosophy is about focusing on what drives results. “When I first get out of bed in the morning, I ask myself what the most fruitful things I can do with my day is”, says John. “That especially applies to the things I don’t want to do. Getting them out of the way gives you that psychological merit badge that boosts your confidence and gives you that feeling of being a doer.”

Businesses raise money through equity and financing. Equity (in the form of stock) can have a great return, but it’s more unpredictable and subject to swings.

PRO member Peter Hobler has big goals, and he stood as Justin Woolf’s guest on Friday’s Take Action call to tell about how he found ways to make his weekly goals happen.

His biggest challenge was to structure his day properly. “As a business coach, I had been taught to have every minute of every day assigned to a task I wanted to complete,” Peter says. “But I was never really comfortable with that.
