Phil set out on a mission to defy the odds, take control and totally transform his life.


He went on to become a champion bodybuilder despite being told it was impossible, authored the world’s first encyclopaedia on how to build muscle and get in shape with diabetes and now is founder of the world’s largest training organisation for fitness entrepreneurs.

"Life on Your Terms" revolves around the concept of seven currencies for success, including freedom, money, health, family, relationships, identity, and mission.

Phil will guide you on your journey to success and personal growth, helping you overcome obstacles, break free from average, and experience the beauty of life.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sharing a rather transformative concept known as the "one second whoa" from a conversation I had with Konstantin Buschmann, the owner of Brabus, a German automotive tuning company. The concept quite fascinatingly emphasises the sheer power of a first impression and the idea that a mere second can leave a lasting impact. I delved into how this notion can be applied across various facets of life, be it marketing, customer service, or even our personal interactions. It's a call to arms, if you will, urging us, the listeners, to make every moment count.If you enjoyed this podcast you might also enjoy my new YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PhilGrahamoffical
I'm sitting in my office, enjoying a cup of coffee and reflecting on my recent jiu-jitsu session. It's always humbling and challenging, but I love pushing myself to grow. Today, I had the opportunity to wrestle with a brown belt, and I focused on holding my ground and not getting subbed out. It's all about pushing myself beyond my comfort zone to accelerate my development.Anxiety in business is something I've grappled with, just like many others. The worries about clients, competition, and the unknown can be overwhelming. But I've come to realize that anxiety is a natural part of growth and change. Setting ambitious goals, like hitting a million in business or buying a Ferrari, initially scared me, but they also propelled me forward.I've learned that setting focused goals is key to combating anxiety and gaining clarity. Vague goals can leave us feeling lost and open to distractions. By setting specific goals with constraints and timeframes, we can channel our energy and direction towards achieving them. It's all about maintaining focus and protecting our vision amidst the noise and distractions of the world.I've set some personal goals for myself, from regaining my abs to exiting my coaching business within a year. These goals, whether related to health, finances, or personal growth, are my roadmap to success. By keeping them visible and constantly revisiting them, I stay motivated and driven towards my vision of a life lived on my terms.I hope this podcast episode has resonated with you and challenged your beliefs about what you can achieve. Your journey towards success is unique, and it's essential to stay focused, determined, and true to your vision. Remember, wealth is not just about money; it's about having options and living life on your terms. Let's continue to push ourselves, set focused goals, and strive for the life we truly desire.

In this episode I talk about why building relationships with team members and clients is crucial for success in business. You need to prioritise these relationships and take the time to connect with people on a personal level, which in turn can create a strong foundation for business and drive performance. I urge you to not to let your drive for efficiency and being to-the-point hinder your ability to build strong relationships, as it is in the white space between tasks that meaningful connections are made.
In this episode, I emphasise the importance of intentionally choosing our social circle and surrounding ourselves with individuals who can inspire, challenge, and mentor us in the areas we want to improve. The term "black belt" is used metaphorically to refer to individuals who have achieved a high level of success or expertise in specific areas of life, such as physical fitness, finance, personal relationships, business, or spirituality.I suggest that by evaluating the people we interact with on a regular basis, we can determine if they are "black belts" in the areas that matter to us. By being in the presence of these individuals, we can learn from their experiences, gain insights, and be inspired to reach higher levels of achievement.To evaluate our social circle, I recommend looking at the average 10 people we communicate with on a weekly basis. We should ask ourselves how many of them are "black belts" in the areas that matter to us. If they are not individuals who have achieved success and mastery in those areas, it may be beneficial to seek out and surround ourselves with people who are.I also emphasise the impact of our social circle on our personal growth and success. By surrounding ourselves with people who have conquered challenges and figured things out, we can be inspired and motivated to do the same. Additionally, I highlight the importance of modelling and emulating the behaviours and mindsets of these successful individuals.In conclusion, the episode underscores the significance of intentionally choosing our social circle and surrounding ourselves with individuals who have achieved success and mastery in the areas that matter to us. By doing so, we can accelerate our own growth and increase our chances of achieving success in those areas. I also emphasise the importance of showing respect and gratitude to those who have taught valuable lessons, even if we don't have a deep personal relationship with them. By consistently showing up and implementing the lessons learned, we can build relationships with people at the highest level in their respective fields.

In this episode, I reflect on the pressure to start fresh in the new year and share insights on how to make the most out of 2024. Personally, I found several practices beneficial in 2023, such as indulging in ice baths, saunas, and engaging in weekly debriefs with my spouse. Sprinting, hot yoga, seeking guidance from mentors and advisors, losing weight, giving back to family, traveling, savoring great food and wine, socialising, and prioritising a healthy sex life were also key components that contributed positively to my year.Conversely, I learned from experiences that did not serve me well. This included not planning my day effectively, saying yes to too many commitments, dealing with constant context switching, engaging in non-reciprocal relationships, avoiding tough conversations, seeking happiness externally, battling restlessness, getting caught up in details, and more.As we step into the new year, I share essential principles to guide the journey ahead. Locking in moments of fun, establishing a solid foundation for exercise, exploring interests beyond work, delving into the nuances of sexuality, being intentional about personal style, and practicing honesty. The overarching theme is to focus on personal growth and strive to surpass the person I was yesterday.
In this episode, I want to share a personal story with you. Recently, I had a fascinating conversation with a billionaire friend that got me thinking about the role luck plays in success. It's one of those conversations that stick with you, and I wanted to pass on some of the insights.We delved into the pros and cons of comparing ourselves to others. It's easy to fall into the trap of measuring our success against someone else's, but I realised that this can be a double-edged sword. Instead, I emphasise the importance of behaving your way to success—focusing on your actions and choices rather than external benchmarks.During this episode, I discuss the significance of clarifying our future selves. Setting core activities in various areas of life can provide a roadmap for personal and professional growth. Reflecting on daily progress becomes crucial in this journey. It's about the small steps and decisions that accumulate over time.As I wrap up the episode, I want to leave you with questions to ponder: Are you on track to becoming the person you aspire to be? It's a powerful self-assessment that encourages us to align our actions with our goals.
In this episode, I delve into the importance of granting ourselves the permission to rest, especially for high performers and business owners who are accustomed to constant chaos. I reflect on personal experiences of feeling uneasy during holidays or downtime, I reveal how a life built on chaos can affect our perception of rest and self-worth. The discussion highlights the realisation that chaos, while it may have been a driving force, does not need to dictate our current state of being.I offer listeners a 'recipe for relaxation' that encourages embracing calmness and openness to receiving, rather than relentless doing. I emphasise the power of overdoing, along with the concept that rest builds the capacity for attracting positive outcomes. I challenge you to confront your anxieties and recognise that thoughts do not equate to reality, urging a shift from chaos-driven action to peaceful being.As we approach the end of the year, I introduce the idea of 'separation season,' a time for self-improvement and intentional action. Instead of succumbing to old patterns, I encourage you to stretch yourself, make intentional changes, and take decisive steps in various aspects of life, from health and business to family and relationships. I finish with a potent reminder that while planning is crucial, it is the act of doing that forges a life worth emulating.
In this podcast episode, I'll be sharing my perspective on success and how I've redefined it in my own life. I'll start by discussing a private party I hosted, where I invited successful individuals from various fields. The purpose of the party was to create my own social circle and learn from these successful people.Reflecting on my past, I recognised my narrow definition of success, which was rooted in material possessions and achievements. However, I now understand that success extends beyond these external factors. I encourage you to think about success in a broader sense and consider what makes your life unique and amazing.Let me introduce a thought-provoking exercise. Find someone you might be jealous of and ponder whether you would trade places with that person to take on their success. The answer is often no because everyone possesses their own strengths and qualities that make their lives worth living.I'll share my personal approach to success, which revolves around one question: "Am I worth modeling?" I believe it's crucial to be a person worth emulating in all areas of life, including relationships, personal growth, family, health, and spirituality. By consistently striving to be a role model, I believe that success will naturally follow.To conclude, I encourage you to let this question guide your behavior and influence how you show up in the world. By being a person worth modeling, you can inspire others to step outside their comfort zones and pursue their own version of success.
