After seeing a lot of great reviews on social media, I decided to go to see Top Gun: Maverick. I left with a big smile on my face, and it felt like it hit all of the buttons for me. Tom Cruise does what he's supposed to do.
It was close to home since I've lived in San Diego for most of my life. When you live close to the beach, there's not a day that goes by that you don't see military aircraft flying overhead.
In the past, I've talked about the importance of taking accountability and rewiring your brain. There are certain scenes in the movie that will help you do that.
If you want to reach an overwhelming goal, you have to ask. The Navy Seals have a simple trick for personal growth.
In the movie, we see an emotional scene between Cruise and Val Kilmer, where Cruise is torn about preventing the son of a friend from going to the flight academy. "Iceman" says that it's time to let go because of the guilt.
Entrepreneurs who are mentally trapped from events in the past can create a psychological brick wall that they can't break. In the case of one of my clients, who ran his own consulting company, he realized he harbored some anger from his divorce, which caused him to self-sabotage in his new position and impact his ability to get more clients As a result of coming to terms with this, he was able to take personal responsibility for his part in the divorce as well as have difficult conversations with his ex.
One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when Maverick is presented with a make-or-break leadership moment and decides to show the pilots that the mission is doable. They shift from fear to confidence when they see that maverick succeeds.
It was because I invested in masterminds, coaches and mentors that I was able to see what was possible. This made it possible for me to do it as well. I decided to give it a try for myself. You hit the target when you get enough shots. The Top Gun pilots are prepared for a mission like the one shown in the movie. If you don't get the training shots, you won't be able to hit the bigger targets. Despite the emotional challenges that will always be there, that requires overcoming fear, courage and commitment.

There are 5 common obstacles that keep you from being a full-time entrepreneurship.
When emotions reach an all-time high and leadership calls for a break from the routine, we watch as maverick takes the squadron to the beach for a game of football to bond the team more closely The higher-ups realized that a break of connection between the pilots could be disastrous for the mission.
It's natural to want to push through when we're under pressure, stress and overwhelm. The art of successful entrepreneurship involves understanding that our bodies and nervous system need to relax so they can perform. Pick-me-ups are unsustainable if we fail to do this. Sometimes the best way to shift the energy is to have fun. When we connect more strongly, full engagement happens.
The cycle of self- sabotage was stopped by this entrepreneurial.
One scene requires one of the pilots to navigate low-level terrain in order to hit their target. The squad is hesitant to complete the mission when one of them feels the pressure. Something changes and the advice of "don't think, just do" comes to mind.
We are dead when we get in our heads. We can miss out on opportunities when we go overanalysis when fear strikes. When I teach my clients high- performance and emotional intelligence tools, I always say that there is a very small window of opportunity for them to step through and sometimes it won't come back. We become more intuitive when we are connected to our bodies. That can change someone's growth. When we get in a bad mood, we need someone to help us get back to ourselves.
There were many moments from Top Gun that made me think about entrepreneurship. The film inspired me to be a better leader and maybe even fly in a jet someday.
