EP12: You Always Win at The Game You Are Playing
You Always Win at The Game You Are Playing
“Expansion is what got me to multiple six figures.” — Shameca Tankerson (11:12-11:14)
A lot is happening globally, but we need to normalize celebrating the good things in life no matter what. Jumping from six figures a year to six figures a month is not about doing; it's about the being. You know you're meant for multi-millions, but somehow, you're stuck where you are. In this week's episode, we're going to talk about winning at the game you're playing and how you can normalize getting well-compensated for your worth.
Part One of ‘You Always Win at The Game You Are Playing’
Most people are trying to raise their game and play a bigger game by emphasizing what they do. They're playing the wrong game. They're focusing on the wrong thing. For you to change the game or see a different game, you've got to start by understanding the game you're currently in, and how you play the game differently will follow. It's not just about playing to make sure you're not on the bottom, it's about playing to win.
“If you have big goals and big dreams, you must normalize making big money.” — Shameca Tankerson (13:02-13:12)
If you're ready to make more money than you ever thought possible in a short period of time, here are the three levels to winning the game.
The first stage is consistency. This is where you build trust in yourself. It's where you prove your work. It's where you get crystal clear. It's about you getting to the place where you can count on yourself to create revenue in your business anytime you want to. But sometimes, the reason why it doesn't happen is that you don't trust you. You need your spirit and mind to be aligned with your mouth so that when you say a thing, there is no doubt.

The next stage is the expansion. This is where you've built consistency, but you got stuck somewhere. You're used to doing the same thing you've been doing and being the same person, which creates a similar result. Now it's about breaking through the barrier. And see, most people don't look at it like this. We stay at the place that we're at, without contemplating who you need to become so you can break the barriers.
It's the state where you implement what you already know. You're already brilliant, badass, and creating results, but it's from a different you. It's about playing a bigger game at this level. You're learning how to play the same game, but bigger and better.
“Expansion doesn't happen in comfort zones. To expand, the container has to grow.” — Shameca Tankerson (27:27-27:32)
Expansion doesn't happen in comfort zones. To expand, the container has to grow. The container has to be different. So, you need an environment that beckons you to rise your highest level. And this is why community is so important. An environment that says, how dare you not show up as your most powerful self. It's about blowing your mind with what's possible and breaking the barriers that have been blocking you in the past.
The last stage is transcending. It's like an infinity stage. Right. You're going to be doing it continually, but this is where you want to move. And at this level, you're learning how to change your own game by normalizing money in your bank account. This is about shifting the trajectory of generational wealth. This is about crafting, impacting, and leaving a legacy.
Because the truth is, we typically will become what we've already seen. We'll become who our mentors are. We'll become who our parents are until we decide to change until we determine that's not it, that you wanted even to do more or have more. And that takes courage. You have to rewire everything about yourself. And at every new level, you're learning something new about yourself as you're implementing that.
Whatever stopped you from getting the six-figure figures is what's going to stop you from reaching your multi-millions. Whatever stopped you at consistency is the same thing that's going to stop you at the transcending level.
