Eye of the Tiger

You have this instinct inside of you waiting to change your financial future – but you need to awaken it

You have a killer instinct.

If you’re a meat eater like myself, you’ve probably cruised the aisles at your local grocery store recently and added a few choice cuts to the shopping cart. Quick, clean, easy. Brats on the grill tonight, boys.

But it hasn’t always been this way.

For millennia, humans have had to raise animals or hunt to eat. Everyone understood that in order for themselves to survive, something must die. A grain of wheat. A pig. An apple. A deer. Death begets life. And it takes a predator’s instinct to make that exchange a reality. Nobody would have done it for you back then… you must kill to live.

Deep inside you that predator instinct still lives.

In dogs, they call it “prey drive”. It’s that moment that a creature locks onto prey, and everything changes. Posture pointed, emotions steady, focus intensified, muscles ready to unleash.

Simply put, it’s the Eye of the Tiger.

When you see something you want, you can let it walk past you, or you can lock in, stalk, and take it.

Your finances. Your future. That business idea. The book that’s inside you and wants to come out. The physique you dream about having. That impossible vacation.

See it.

Stalk it.

Take it.

You have that killer instinct inside of you right now. You just need to activate it.

I can’t take credit for this concept… author Michael Burt is the one who made this connection, and explains it here:

What prey do you have eyes on?

Onward and upward,
