If the only thing holding you back is money, then you are the problem. Bull riding is not the lottery. When you win the lottery once, you are probably set for life. You are going to have to win many bull ridings at the highest levels – PBR, NFR, etc. – over a long period of time to be even remotely financially sound. It is possible. This week’s Monster in the Making® podcast is about making it easier to nod your head, before you even get there.
Even when you’re riding percentage is high, you are not going to win every time. Having a financial cushion to get through the non-winning times is a huge part of your mindset each time you ride. , it’s a huge part of each time you get out of bed. Knowing you have enough money to continue to achieve your goals in the arena is a mental game changer. You can win it. You can earn it with a job. You could do both. Why not be the world champion with a side hustle?
Earn money. Win money. Save money. Before you take over in the arena, take over your finances. You can. True winners dominate in every area of life. Discipline your priorities.
Becoming a Monster in the Making® with your finances – regardless of how much you win, earn or inherit each day – will help you become a Monster in the Making® in any arena.
Be you. Be real. Be better. Be financially better. Be a Monster in the Making®.

Strengths and weaknesses - we all have them whether we know it or not. We all have them whether we admit it or not. Building on your strengths is admirable, but if you don’t improve your weaknesses, they will always be what limits your progress in any area of your life. Sometimes it’s good to look under the hood and do an overhaul on yourself.
A little self-maintenance can go a long way in building a better monster, but it helps to know exactly what you’re working on to really improve it. Knowing what our physical strengths and weaknesses are is usually pretty straightforward. Knowing the limitations and long shots of our personalities may not be as obvious. That’s where this episode of the Monster in the Making® podcast comes in. Episode 28 reminds us to evaluate what we can recreate on a personal level.
Sometimes we are blind to our own faults. We are too close to the problem to even see the problem (kind of like that “can’t see the forest for the trees” saying.) That’s where true friends come in. An objective friend can be a treasure in offering constructive feedback on identifying our strengths and weaknesses – especially if one of our weaknesses is getting defensive about what we are not so good at. And to our benefit, they’ll often point out things that we may be so good at that we don’t even realize it because it’s second nature to us.
When you know better, you’ll grow better. If you want to get better, improve your personal weak spots. If you’re not sure what they are, ask a few friends to help you figure it out. Then build a better monster. You can.
Be you. Be real. Be better. Be a Monster in the Making®. Be a really good one.

Are you willing to accept the consequences of you decisions? That’s a major milestone in maturity. Are you willing to succeed beyond negative consequences of your decisions? That’s a major marker of who you are as a person. The more extreme your original decision, the more extreme the consequences. By both measures, former bull rider Roy Dell Barnes is an extreme guy. He’s a dragon slayer on wheels.
A bull riding accident in 1986 left Roy Dell paralyzed. He exchanged two feet for four wheels and has never looked back. David Berry can testify to this. He was there the night it happened. He and Roy Dell were friends before and still. Episode 27 of the Monster in the Making® podcast is a conversation with Roy Dell. This podcast is the definition of David’s favorite saying: What do you want? How bad do you want it? and What are you willing to do about it?
From the topics such as the accident by the numbers, to being raised twice, to bringing yourself back to center – this podcast is a wagonload of intriguing, inspiring and introspective thoughts on being who you are meant to be – and you will laugh through it all!
Where you are or what you’re doing are not who you are. Regardless of where you are or what you are doing, who you are defines everything. Roy Dell Barnes is living proof. He’s a dragon slayer on wheels. He’s a Monster in the Making® everyday.
Be you. Be real. Be better. Be a Monster in the Making®. Roll on…
