Free Webinar on December 30th, 2015 @ 8pm CST / 9pm EST

As you know 2016 is a few weeks away and I wanted to do something special for the listeners of Operation Self Reset. Over the past 2.5 years OSR Podcast has been listened to in over 163 countries and has been downloaded over 1.2 million times.

This could not have happened without YOU. Thank you! (I would hug you but I will save that for when we meet in person.)

For the first time ever I am launching a group coaching program called Self Reset Mastery.

A few months ago I started sharing my cell phone number. Yes, people still think I am crazy for doing this but the phone calls and texts I have received were unbelievable! People from all around the world have reached out to me. In each interaction the same theme was occurring time and time again.

“The information is great but I just can’t seem to reach goals! What am I doing wrong?”

“I don’t have a close friend or family member who wants to be my accountability partner. Where can I find someone?”

“Your 1-on-1 coaching is too expensive. Is there another way I can ask you questions to help me improve?”

The 3 top concerns are

1. reaching goals
2. being held accountable
3. having access to me at a lower price point than my private 1-on-1 coaching

That is when I thought to bring only the 30 most dedicated people into one group. Each month we will have webinars on key topics, you can ask me personal questions and get answers, and you will be held accountable because I will pair each member up with two to three other members to create a mastermind group.

Like I said, this will only be for 30 awesome people. If you’re interested, please tune in to the webinar that will be held live on December 30 at 7p.m. CST / 8p.m. EST. (Links to the webinar will be sent out the night of the event.)

If you are unable to join, there will be a recording of the webinar.

Self Reset Mastery will start on the night of 1-1-2016.

Hope to see you on the inside!

We have many common names for willpower: determination, drive, resolve, self-discipline, self-control. But psychologists characterize willpower, or self-control, in more specific ways. According to most psychological scientists, willpower can be defined as:

• The ability to delay gratification, resisting short-term temptations in order to meet long-term goals.
• The capacity to override an unwanted thought, feeling or impulse.
• The ability to employ a “cool” cognitive system of behavior rather than a “hot” emotional system.
• Conscious, effortful regulation of the self by the self.
• A limited resource capable of being depleted.

Fire worship, practiced as a rite of purification, healing, initiation and transcendence, has been a long thread in the cultural tapestry of our planet. Many tribal people had, or have, rituals and ceremonies to honor the sacred aspect of fire – honoring its gifts and acknowledging its transformative power. Fire worship and firewalking has nourished and warmed the human spirit since the dawning of humankind.  In contemporary society,  firewalking has evolved into a powerful tool for self-realization and empowerment.

Many of the natural environments of our planet are dependent on the cleansing and purifying aspects of fire; wildfires clear the way for new growth, which many animal and plant species depend upon for survival. Just as the planet requires fire for renewal, so does the human spirit, as we are always intrinsically connected with this earth from which we grew. Our relationship to fire is as old as the human race. Recent evidence suggests that Australopithecus controlled fire nearly a million and half years ago.

The beginnings of firewalking are lost in the annals of history, but we do know that Africa, often considered the birthplace of humankind, has a long history of firewalking and fire dancing. The African-born Hindus walk on fire regularly as part of important religious festivals and !Kung Bushmen of the Kalahari desert have firewalked since their tribal beginnings. The !Kung use fire in their powerful healing ceremonies.

In 1977, anthropologist Laurens van der Post published an account of his travels to Africa to study the !Kung and was astonished when witness to their healing fire dances. And, Richard Katz, a Harvard psychologist and anthropologist, reports that the !Kung use the fire to heat up their energy, which they call n/um: Dancers will go in the fire, walk in it, put their heads in it, pick up the coals and rub them over their hands and body… when the n/um (or energy) in the body is boiling and as hot as the fire, they will not be burned. As the n/um intensifies in the healers they experience an enhanced consciousness called !kia , during which they heal all those at the dance.

In Bali, the mystical South Sea island, it is not the men who dance on the fire, but young girls. In India, Tibet, Sri Lanka, China, Japan and Argentina, to mention a few, people dance and walk, joyously, solemnly, exuberantly, or devotionally across fire. In the Hindu fire ceremony Agni Hotra, fire is used to purify the physical and spiritual atmosphere and in Peru the flame is used to spiritually uplift participants in the fire-ceremony.

The oldest recorded firewalk was over 4000 years ago in India. Two Brahmin priests were competing to see who could walk further, one managed to do so and his feat was written down in the historical records of that time.

In a 17th century letter a Jesuit priest, Father Le Jeune, writes to his superior, telling of a healing firewalk he witnessed among the North American Indians. He reports of a sick woman walking through two or three hundred fires with bare legs and feet, not only without burning, but all the while complaining about the lack of heat she was feeling.

Some 30 years later, Father Marquette reported similar firewalks among the Ottawa Indians and Jonathan Carver writes in his 1802 book Travels in North America that one of the most astounding sights he saw was the parade of warriors who would “walk naked through a fire… with apparent immunity”.

Other North American Indians who were known to have shamanic traditions which included fire handling were the Fox, Menomini, Kere, Blackfeet and particularly the Zuni, who had, and some claim still have, a “great fire fraternity”. The Kahunas, or native priests of the Hawaiian Islands, had powerful practices of lava waking. All around this little globe people rely on their spiritual kinship with this dynamic element to bring them closer to their true nature and, through touching the fire of their spirit, feel renewed and healed.

Firewalking in Modern Times

I am often called the mother or originator of the firewalking movement. Given the history of firewalking, as practiced throughout recorded time on nearly every continent on the planet, that seems a rather unlikely title, quite like calling myself the mother of the human race because I have given birth to children.

What I will take credit for is bringing firewalking into the public eye and allowing it to re-emerge in Western culture as a practice for people who are exploring consciousness and personal power.

Through more than two decades of teaching firewalking and firewalk instructors in the United States and abroad, I have had the honor of developing a modern comprehension of this ancient ritual and training others so this time-tested practice could also benefit the modern era.

Incorporating firewalking into my seminars and teaching began when I returned from a personal pilgrimage to India in 1981. The following spring I walked on fire for the first time with Tolly Burkan. I realized immediately what a powerful tool firewalking could be in a seminar setting if truly explored and developed.

At the time I was introduced to firewalking it was sometimes used as a surprise beginning to small weekend retreats where the participants were asked to keep it secret after taking part in the event. In these early settings, much to the shock of his group, Tolly would whip off his socks and shoes after singing around a campfire and quickly cross the coals.

The entire “teaching” of how to walk on fire I witnessed back then amounted to 9 words, “do what I do and you won’t get burned” …and a smile. Modern firewalking has come a long way since then!

Because of the quality and emphasis on safety in modern firewalking, when asked about the birth of the modern firewalking movement, I hesitate to reply that Tolly trained me to firewalk. A more equable answer is that both Tolly and I were “shown” firewalking, but we created the seed of a powerful seminar built around this ancient ritual together.

In the beginning we combined tools from both of our backgrounds to create the first large public workshops. We developed the training for firewalk instructors two years later and formed a somewhat fiery, short-lived but productive partnership that lasted four years.

I had been leading workshops internationally and had developed the Spiritual Reality Training, a weeklong intensive, which later was to become the base of our Firewalk Instructor’s Training. The first Firewalk Instructor’s Training was held in 1984. In 1984 I also incorporated my company, SUNDOOR. Tolly and I dissolved our partnership in 1986 and he retired from teaching public firewalking and firewalk instructors until the turn of the century.

My memories of the early beginnings of modern firewalking, the experimentation, research and exploration that we undertook in the early 80’s are much cherished. We explored which woods were best, if one could walk on bark, how deep and long the coal-bed should be, and the ideal mental state people should be in when firewalking. The question we answered was:  How do we take this potentially dangerous activity and make it both safe and powerful for Western people?

Although those early years were difficult at times, those raw experiences provided the seed from which I developed the modern ritual, as it is known today, by continuing for these last two decades to explore and teach and train. Now as I teach with the support of my expert staff and Steve Brougher, my partner of 16 years, by my side, the firewalk has matured into a true vehicle for transformation.

During the booming economics of the early nineties, the firewalk caught the attention of managers and corporations as a way to inspire creativity and empower visions of higher horizons in their employees. Corporations as diverse as Microsoft, Coca-Cola, American Express and Pierce-Waterhouse participated in firewalks with great success. After the 11th of September 2001, I received an e-mail from an American Express employee in New York expressing her gratitude with the words, “I don’t know how we would have survived these last few weeks without the tools you gave us”. The American Express building was damaged in the catastrophe and they were at the heart of the disaster.

The firewalk was touching a new culture, from small spiritual groups to thousands in corporate conferences. The firewalk as a tool for personal empowerment and a ritual for spiritual communion had been born in the West.

SUNDOOR’s International Firewalking School has continued to grow. For nearly three decades my staff, the SUNDOOR Master Firewalk Instructors, and I, have been training instructors around the planet. SUNDOOR now has firewalk instructors doing excellent work all over the globe and offices in numerous countries worldwide.

This organization that I began in the early 1980s has grown into a large international community that is not only the most experienced and wide-reaching school for firewalking but is sponsoring a host of other exciting activities as well.

The name SUNDOOR comes from an Inuit teaching. Ancient myth says that there are seven doors to pass through on the path of spiritual development. The SUNDOOR is the seventh and final door on this journey to awakening. I had little idea of the beauty and transcendent power of the firewalk when I named my company, but in these years of witnessing thousands of people crossing the fire and using that experience as a portal to their spirit, I now know it was aptly named.

Through SUNDOOR I have attempted to keep the ancient heritage of firewalking pure in our courses. The experience people are having is truly remarkable. The firewalk is allowing people in western cultures to experience a depth of healing, inspiration and life altering change that is not usually available to us. Despite this, I realize that we have only just begun to explore the fantastic potential of this ancient ritual and am truly excited to see where this ancient path of fire will lead us in the future.

2. Permission - People follow because they want to.
3. Production - People follow because of what you have done for the organization.
4. Person Development - People follow because of what you have done for them personally.
5. Pinnacle - People follow because of who you are and what you represent.

Through in-depth explanations and examples, Maxwell will describe each stage and show readers how they can move to the next level to become more influential, respected, and successful leaders.

Until my late 20s, I felt like I had been fighting my whole life. Brought up on the south side of Johannesburg, in South African government housing (similar to “the projects” in the USA), I learned early on that what really mattered was not how smart you were, but whether you were tough enough.

Brought up on the south side of Johannesburg, in South African government housing (similar to “the projects” in the USA), I learned early on that what really mattered was not how smart you were, but whether you were tough enough. Growing up, I often felt trapped in a really bad nightmare — and I wanted to wake up.

But tough times build strong character, and I was determined to survive the school bullies and the mean streets of my neighborhood. That’s how I discovered martial arts, and set the course for the rest of my life. If I hadn’t started training in karate and boxing, I wouldn’t be standing today in front of business leaders, entrepreneurs, and other success-minded people . . . coaching them on how to tap into their inner game.

Things turned rough in my teens. My abusive, alcoholic mother kicked me out of the house at 17 and, as a result, I never finished high school. I found myself sleeping on the streets with less than $20 in my pocket — yet today I consult with leaders of industry, train top security forces, and run my own international business. Martial arts taught me to be resilient, to embrace my fears, to develop laser-like focus, and to never give up. Having developed those qualities (I had to!), I went back to school, put myself through college, and currently completing my Ph.D in Embodied Leadership.

Having developed those qualities (I had to!), I went back to school, put myself through college, and currently completing my Ph.D in Embodied Leadersh, I have taught special-force military operators and law enforcement officers how to develop an unstoppable mind, needed for success on the battlefield, or on city streets, and how to survive when all else fails. You see, I did wake up from that nightmare. What I learned on the mat as a martial artist, helped me not only take on those tough, mean streets of Johannesburg, but it empowered me to take on life, full throttle, and to succeed.

What I learned, and what I teach my clients today, may surprise you. Being tough is not about aggression, violence, or killer instinct. In fact, everything I teach is the complete opposite: it’s about having a Buddha mind, and a Warrior body — Zen in the midst of chaos. Most important it works! It worked for me, and it works for my clients not only on the dojo floor, but in their lives and careers. My website is not only about the hard-learned lessons that allowed me to become a successful martial artist, coach, and entrepreneur — but also how it can enable anyone (hopefully you the reader) to successfully take on the martial arts of everyday life and win.

My motto has always been: “Performance is performance” — meaning it doesn’t matter whether it is in the ring, where “performance” shows up as self-defense, in the boardroom during tough negotiations, or, indeed, at home dealing with everyday domestic challenges (I now often find myself negotiating with my teenage son).

The ingredients for successful performance — in all areas of life — transcend the situation. The “inner tools” that shape success are perennial and universal. That’s what I discovered as I struggled to survive on the mean streets, and then developed into a system to help myself and my clients thrive, as we face the inevitable challenges of today’s competitive world. This is what this website is about!

You’re here because you believe that dreams are worth pursuing.

Perfect. I think you’ll enjoy the site and content, because that’s what drives me. I believe a meaningful life is one of progress, growth, and iteration—from one good thing to another.

And if you don’t share that perspective, I hope you’ll come to embrace it while you’re here.

My parents are the bravest people I know, fleeing Vietnam when I was 6-months-old. We made it to refugee camp in Indonesia before being accepted into Australia. They were striving for a better life; for happiness, for meaning—for a utopian life.

That’s the heart-beat of our human experience. I’m passionate about sparking and sustaining that pursuit in your life.

My journey has included representing Nova Scotia at the National Canadian Rugby Championships; a chef at a 5-Star hotel in Brisbane and fine-dining establishment in Texas, where I also finished my BA in Humanities; and an international Muay Thai athlete living in Thailand for 18 months.

Currently, I’m completing my Masters in Psychotherapy, so consider this site your free psychotherapy session.

I want to leave you with the question that drove my parents to flee Vietnam, and the question that has fueled my journey: What does Your Utopian Life look like?

Confronting that question is the start of an amazing journey for you. That’s the mission of this site; that you would dream, believe, create, and succeed toward your utopia.

How to live an outstanding life.  It starts with you dont live a poor, good, great, or excelent life.  The onely one to live is Outstaning!!

Few people will easily admit to taking pleasure in the misfortunes of others. But who doesn't enjoy it when an arrogant but untalented contestant is humiliated on American Idol, or when the embarrassing vice of a self-righteous politician is exposed, or even when an envied friend suffers a small setback? The truth is that joy in someone else's pain--known by the German word schadenfreude--permeates our society.

In The Joy of Pain, psychologist Richard Smith, one of the world's foremost authorities on envy and shame, sheds much light on a feeling we dare not admit. Smith argues that schadenfreude is a natural human emotion, one worth taking a closer look at, as it reveals much about who we are as human beings. We have a passion for justice. Sometimes, schadenfreude can feel like getting one's revenge, when the suffering person has previously harmed us. But most of us are also motivated to feel good about ourselves, Smith notes, and look for ways to maintain a positive sense of self. One common way to do this is to compare ourselves to others and find areas where we are better. Similarly, the downfall of others--especially when they have seemed superior to us--can lead to a boost in our self-esteem, a lessening of feelings of inferiority. This is often at the root of schadenfreude. As the author points out, most instances of schadenfreude are harmless, on par with the pleasures of light gossip. Yet we must also be mindful that envy can motivate, without full awareness, the engineering of the misfortune we delight in. And envy-induced aggression can take us into dark territory indeed, as Smith shows as he examines the role of envy and schadenfreude in the Nazi persecution of the Jews.

Filled with engaging examples of schadenfreude, from popular reality shows to the Duke-Kentucky basketball rivalry, The Joy of Pain provides an intriguing glimpse into a hidden corner of the human psyche.

After 15 years as a professional educator, inspiring students and fellow educators, I decided enough was enough (not getting a lunch, being scolded for doing what’s right for children, and not being able to go to the bathroom when I needed to were just three of the deciding factors!). I knew at a soul level that I had to find a way to blend my love of the written word and my motivating, upbeat leadership style into something that would allow me to help others in a way the school system wouldn’t.

In just six months, I planned my exit, left my career as a tenured teacher, and launched my own company (The Writing Whisperer) because I knew I could no longer keep my passion and truth locked away. I now work with small business owners and writers in a variety of formats, some of which include content marketing, copywriting, branding word work, private memoir coaching, and journaling. My main mission is help writers of all varieties tap into the power of using their words to spread their messages, both in business and personal writing.

I am also passionate about advocating for doing what is right for our nation’s children and teachers. Because I left the public education system, I can now talk openly about the issues teachers are facing day in and day out, without fear of repercussion. I am a writer for The Huffington Post, as well as a professor at Brooklyn College. Above all, I am a teacher for life.

When I’m not speaking, teaching, or helping people write, I love to spend time with my husband Michael and my cat Shakti, as well as run long distances, bike the busy city streets, travel to far away lands, make tasty vegan meals, and live life to the fullest —my own way.

Hi, I’m Rob Scott and I’m a coach who helps people shift, and dramatically break through.

Is there a part of you that knows you want to change, and you know it’d be better for you if you did, and yet you still don’t do it?

Maybe you feel unfulfilled, like you’re never really going to be able to live out your dreams.

Or maybe you’re struggling to succeed to the level you really want to, and you’d like to make more money, or you’d like to impact the world, but on some level you just feel stuck.

Humanity Has a Core Problem

You see, I’ve discovered that humanity has a core problem, and chances are you’ve got this problem and you don’t even know it. The problem is the limit of our current identity.  Let me explain: Whatever results you have in life are precisely because you think that’s what you deserve.  If you make $100k, that’s because you have a $100k mentality. If people always violate your trust, it’s because you have a mentality that invites that.

See, those people that are getting the results that you want, they literally think different thoughts. They take different actions, they have different habits and behaviors.  And if I ask people why they don’t do those things, they answer, “I’m on my way to becoming like them,” but they don’t realize they’re trying to live a $1M lifestyle with a $100k mentality.

So to change and really get dramatically different results in our life, we need to change our very identity. We literally need to become someone new, and we resist this very deeply.

We Need to Change Our Very Identity

I’m the expert that helps people break through, change, and literally evolve their consciousness. This is beyond just mindset shifting. I shift your very identity and I’m world-class at this. I shift people who think they’ll never be a successful entrepreneur and turn them into massively successful entrepreneurs. I shift people who think they’ll never have success and turn them into incredible success stories.

Let me tell you a story about somebody who I helped shift long ago and explain what huge results this can lead to. But I want to warn you, the beginning of this story is pretty graphic.

This person I worked with had been violently and repeatedly raped from the age of three to around eight years old. This left him feeling completely empty. So full of shame, it was incredibly difficult for him to feel safe or trust anybody at all. In fact, to deal with this trauma, this young boy’s brain almost split into multiple personalities so that he could detach and protect himself when he was being seriously abused.

As you might imagine, he turned to drugs and alcohol to mask the pain, trying drugs as early as seven years old. By his late teens and early 20’s, it had gotten so bad that he was in and out of jails, institutions, halfway houses and he ended up homeless, and living on the streets.

He Was Failing at Everything...

He was failing at everything, his entire life was a mess and after all he’d been through, he had every reason to hate the world.

But he finally realized if he didn’t change, he was going to die.

This is when I helped him have a simple mindset shift that changed everything.  He realized that for a long time it was his mindset that had been the biggest problem he faced.  In that one moment, we changed his very identity, and what happened next was incredible.

First thing he did was get a simple temp job, and with this new perspective, he got promotions really fast.

In just a few years, he went from homeless, all the way to becoming the  youngest vice president at a company in Philadelphia. He had no credentials, no college degree, no nothing, just knowing how to create value and manage himself and others.

Around 2005, he started a podcast to share his ideas on how to change, and thousands of people all over the world started signing up. They started asking him for coaching and his most important career began.

This Person is Me

You see, this person is me and I’ve spent the last decade of my life working with thousands of people, shifting their identities, and showing them how to evolve their consciousness and get incredible results across all areas of their businesses, their health, their relationships, and their entire lives.

I personally have been awake now for more than 20 years, and I’ve been helping others wake up for more than a decade.

I help my clients to build huge businesses. I’ve helped craft congressional testimony multiple times which has lead to national policy reform here in America. I have thousands of followers that I’m blessed to interact with. I’m the coach other coaches come to in order to shift themselves and to learn how to do even deeper work with their clients.

People that work with me have massive breakthroughs of more money, more health, more time and quite simply, more happiness and fulfillment.

I want to share with you how fulfilled I am able to be in my life right now. I’m literally living the dream. I’m deeply present, I love my partner, I love my work and thankfully, I’m really successful at it.

I Can Help You Change

Listen, if I can come from the depths of dysfunction, after years of rape, abuse, addiction, and homelessness – the things most people don’t survive let alone thrive from – and create this kind of success for myself and for others – then you can change to your next level too.

My name is Rob Scott, and nothing would make me happier than helping you shift, and achieve all the results you want in your life. If I can help you with anything at all, please let me know.  Be well, and I hope to talk with you soon.

Ready to change right now?

An old grandfather told his grandson: “My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, and resentment. The other is good. It is joy, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and bravery.”

The boy thought about it, and asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?”

The old man quietly replied, “The one you feed.”
