Aaron Keith Hawkins is an author, speaker, trainer and the host of the Unbreakable Success Podcast. He has over 22 years of leadership experience as a public servant. He is currently a Police Captain, serving his New Jersey community as a Law Enforcement Executive. 30,000 people in his town look for him to make the right decisions, and that requires confidence, wisdom, and authentic influence – which is the core topic of today’s conversation.

Aaron earned a Graduate Degree in Leadership from the University of Oklahoma with an emphasis in professional coaching and he is an alumni of the invitation-only FBI National Academy. Life was good for Aaron and his family, however after a brush with mortality in 2009, Aaron decided he was capable of more and has since dedicated his life to constant growth as a husband, father, and helping others live their best life.

Listen in as we explore authentic influence, how successful people equip themselves to deal with challenges, Aaron’s 4 PURE laws of leadership and influence, how to break through the ceiling of average, and the difference between good and best. Don’t wait for a life-threatening wake-up call to reflect on the changes you want to make in your life. Start today! Through his story and insight, Aaron shows you how.    

Key Takeaways

1. People who are successful have learned to prepare for the challenges ahead of time. They proactively learn how to deal with emotions and fear.
2. “People’s biggest problem isn’t that they have problems, it’s that they think they’re not supposed to have any.” (Tony Robbins)
3. Aaron’s 4 PURE Laws: P – Pivotal Choices, U – Unconditionally High Standards, R – Reflective Comparison, E – Elevating Your Situational Methodology.
4. When you ask yourself a question, your brain has to respond with an answer. A great question to yourself, “What would a flawless version of me do right now?”
5. There are not enough people creating from what they are learning. They are simply repeating old habits, hoping, or believing. Unbreakable success requires creation.
6. It’s not how many books you read that’s important, it’s what you read and apply to your life that matters.
7. When you’re in the bottle, you can’t read the label.
8. Influence at the core is affecting the character or behavior of something or someone.
9. Whatever you do, do it with authenticity – in a way that expresses YOU, not a copy of somebody else.
