00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:00.510
All right.
00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:01.050
3, 2, 1.
00:00:01.050 --> 00:00:01.500
Let's get it.
00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:02.279
Let's talk about.
00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:03.540
Luck today.
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:04.919
And.
00:00:06.030 --> 00:00:06.690
Luck.
00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:10.500
This seems like you have to be lucky.
00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:11.820
To get luck, right?
00:00:11.849 --> 00:00:13.500
For good things to happen your way.
00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:17.940
And I want to shed some light on what luck really is.
00:00:18.329 --> 00:00:22.469
And the first thing that you have to understand is, is luck.
00:00:22.949 --> 00:00:25.559
Is nothing more than persistence.
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:35.399
But it's not just persistence of just showing up so many times people, you know, run with the Woody Allen quote that success is showing up.
00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:40.619
Yeah, but the luck that is created in your life.
00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:43.799
Is the persistence of showing up.
00:00:44.829 --> 00:00:47.890
By purposefully working a process.
00:00:48.579 --> 00:00:50.170
And you show up no matter what.
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.619
But you're not just showing up saying, Hey, I'm here.
00:00:54.189 --> 00:00:56.469
You're showing up with persistence.
00:00:56.890 --> 00:00:58.000
No matter what.
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.670
Not hung up on yesterday's results.
00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:05.379
Not hanging your hat on the accolades that you've already accomplished.
00:01:06.370 --> 00:01:10.209
It's persistent to purposefully working a process.
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:12.189
That puts you in alignment.
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:13.929
With the person.
00:01:14.530 --> 00:01:15.489
You were meant to be.
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:18.129
That's what it is.
00:01:18.429 --> 00:01:23.099
That's what creates the luck see persistence, to purposefully working a process.
00:01:23.549 --> 00:01:25.469
Increases your surface area.
00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:27.719
Listen to me, this is so important.
00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:29.519
The persistence.
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.790
To purposefully working a process.
00:01:33.629 --> 00:01:36.599
Increases your surface area.
00:01:37.590 --> 00:01:38.849
For even more luck.
00:01:39.329 --> 00:01:41.370
Think of that, a surface area.
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:43.439
It's a positioning.
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:44.099
If you will.
00:01:45.540 --> 00:01:47.909
So what I want you to start thinking about.
00:01:48.510 --> 00:01:50.640
Is every day you show up.
00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:56.340
Imagine that there's this big picture of what success looks like to you.
00:01:56.579 --> 00:02:00.120
Here's this big picture of what your life.
00:02:00.450 --> 00:02:01.950
What you want your life to be?
00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:08.889
So there's this big blank canvas it's outlined with the person that you want to be.
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:10.750
All right, you got that mental image.
00:02:11.169 --> 00:02:13.479
Now when you show up.
00:02:13.900 --> 00:02:15.849
Imagine day one.
00:02:16.569 --> 00:02:17.620
That you're putting this.
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:19.719
There's red died.
00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:21.400
On that picture.
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:29.110
Now when you put that one red dot up there and you back up and there's this big ass canvas better be big.
00:02:29.139 --> 00:02:30.580
Cause you got a big life ahead of you.
00:02:31.210 --> 00:02:35.650
So when you first back up, man, there's this, there's this little red dot.
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:40.569
And you're like, Ah, I can barely even see it.
00:02:41.169 --> 00:02:42.460
That's how big the picture is.
00:02:43.750 --> 00:02:48.129
But you can't even, you know, you can barely see, you can just see this little red dot, next day you show up.
00:02:48.849 --> 00:02:49.900
Through your effort.
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.120
Of purposefully working your process.
00:02:53.389 --> 00:02:56.539
That's in alignment with the person that you want to be.
00:02:57.800 --> 00:02:58.949
Day two is another dot.
00:02:59.330 --> 00:03:02.449
Day three, another dot by day 60.
00:03:04.580 --> 00:03:05.360
You have this.
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.129
This blot.
00:03:07.699 --> 00:03:14.599
By 90 days, it's even a bigger blot and so that's your surface air.
00:03:14.689 --> 00:03:15.949
See what you've done.
00:03:16.430 --> 00:03:21.560
Is you have increased your surface area that puts you in position.
00:03:22.219 --> 00:03:24.199
For good things to happen in your life.
00:03:24.590 --> 00:03:26.270
But while you're working.
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.740
And waiting for whatever the result is.
00:03:31.930 --> 00:03:33.729
And for good things to happen for you.
00:03:34.930 --> 00:03:36.939
Good things are happening within you too.
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.330
And that's, what's beautiful about it instantly.
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:46.960
The outside the external part, you may not see the results, but inside the results.
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:48.580
Start on day one.
00:03:49.990 --> 00:03:51.219
You may not see him.
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:56.259
You may not know what's going on, but just because you can't see change, does it mean changes in happening?
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.460
So while you're waiting for good things to happen outside of you.
00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:03.610
Good things are happening within you.
00:04:04.819 --> 00:04:06.860
First off you're holding commitments to yourself.
00:04:07.099 --> 00:04:10.520
You getting shit done because you have a process.
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:12.979
I work a process every single day.
00:04:13.189 --> 00:04:14.419
It puts me in alignment.
00:04:15.020 --> 00:04:16.250
With the man, I need to be.
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.300
And so I don't worry necessarily about the external news.
00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:22.279
And I just worked the process.
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.670
So the days I get big lipped, I just say, Hey, check the box.
00:04:25.670 --> 00:04:25.850
Work.
00:04:25.850 --> 00:04:29.540
The process is in alignment with the man you want to be?
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:30.410
Yes.
00:04:30.829 --> 00:04:31.250
All right.
00:04:31.699 --> 00:04:32.569
Keep your head down.
00:04:32.870 --> 00:04:33.470
Keep going.
00:04:35.149 --> 00:04:35.269
It.
00:04:35.269 --> 00:04:35.540
Okay.
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.490
If I'm in alignment with that.
00:04:37.670 --> 00:04:39.589
And I don't deviate from that.
00:04:40.699 --> 00:04:42.470
Good things are gonna happen within me.
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.170
And it's going to put me in position.
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.970
Because my surface area is larger and I keep showing up.
00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:55.519
Good things will happen not only within me, but they will happen for me.
00:04:56.870 --> 00:05:04.370
When it needs to see when is not up to you, what you do for when it happens for you.
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:05.899
Great success.
00:05:06.410 --> 00:05:07.279
Is up to you.
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:16.819
So every day, man, you got to put that dot up and dot after dot, after dot, after dot you've increased your surface area.
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:23.300
90 days hundred and 80 days, 270 days a year later, two years.
00:05:23.300 --> 00:05:37.550
I do just imagine if you just worked a simple process every single day, four to six things every day, regardless of the results, you just put the dot up and I increased and I just put another dot beside the next one.
00:05:37.550 --> 00:05:38.870
And the next one and the next one.
00:05:39.860 --> 00:05:42.800
Bro your surface area is so large.
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.750
You are guaranteed for good things to happen in your life.
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:54.860
And so when you first start off, man, You're starting off, probably just parroting what everybody else is saying.
00:05:54.889 --> 00:05:58.009
So you tell a parrot something and the parrot repeats it back.
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.949
Well, that's what we do when we're first starting change.
00:06:01.189 --> 00:06:05.810
We just parroting what we're reading, what we're writing, what we're watching.
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:06.709
We're just kinda.
00:06:07.370 --> 00:06:11.930
We're just repeating those things, but see those repetitions.
00:06:13.670 --> 00:06:16.100
Changes your mindset changes.
00:06:16.100 --> 00:06:21.709
What you think about changes, what you actually see and when all those things change.
00:06:22.310 --> 00:06:25.149
Then you actually embody and become.
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:26.529
The making.
00:06:27.939 --> 00:06:29.860
Of that, that man that you want to be.
00:06:31.189 --> 00:06:32.420
Every day you show up.
00:06:33.850 --> 00:06:39.399
Not only are you more committed, but if you can keep commitments to yourself, bro, you can keep commitments to others.
00:06:39.579 --> 00:06:42.310
If you think about the times that you've broken commitments.
00:06:43.029 --> 00:06:43.930
In your life.
00:06:44.620 --> 00:06:46.120
I think about all those times.
00:06:46.389 --> 00:06:47.920
When I just broke commitments.
00:06:48.370 --> 00:06:51.279
It's because I wasn't keeping commitments to myself.
00:06:51.670 --> 00:06:56.829
If you work a process every day, And put that dot up.
00:06:57.699 --> 00:06:59.170
And dot after dot.
00:06:59.410 --> 00:07:03.009
I just want to increase my surface area if you'll do that every day.
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.560
You're keeping commitments to yourself.
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:11.199
So keeping commitments to other people, it's just a natural extension of who you are.
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.959
Plus you're learning wider and deeper.
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.379
Surface area surface area.
00:07:17.769 --> 00:07:18.610
It's what you're doing.
00:07:19.089 --> 00:07:20.800
And you've created this blot.
00:07:21.730 --> 00:07:23.860
That puts you in position for success.
00:07:24.699 --> 00:07:27.009
And see here's, what's different with you.
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:28.420
Than most people.
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:30.579
, you're persistent.
00:07:31.779 --> 00:07:33.910
By purposefully working a process.
00:07:34.420 --> 00:07:38.949
And you put dot after dot, after dot up every single day.
00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:42.858
You'll dunk on all of the other people.
00:07:43.468 --> 00:07:44.519
Who are in and out.
00:07:44.949 --> 00:07:45.788
They're scattered.
00:07:46.298 --> 00:07:49.358
They're dots are all over the place they put a few dots up on the map.
00:07:50.139 --> 00:07:51.338
Of who they want to be.
00:07:52.509 --> 00:07:53.319
And then they quit.
00:07:53.978 --> 00:07:56.678
And then you come back a few weeks later and then they put another dot up.
00:07:56.869 --> 00:07:59.449
So they've got all these scattered dots everywhere.
00:08:00.048 --> 00:08:01.788
They're just scattered all over the place.
00:08:02.329 --> 00:08:09.088
Well, they don't have a surface area because they've been starting quitting, starting quitting, they got all these little dots.
00:08:09.088 --> 00:08:13.348
That's why things aren't happening because there's no dots beside one another.
00:08:13.798 --> 00:08:23.999
But see, when you consistently show up, keep your head down, work in a simple process every day and you put dot after dot, after dot because they're together.
00:08:24.358 --> 00:08:26.009
It increases my surface area.
00:08:26.309 --> 00:08:32.139
That's what puts me in position for better opportunities, better connections.
00:08:33.538 --> 00:08:37.318
More knowledge, more commitment, more refinement.
00:08:37.708 --> 00:08:38.818
More efficiency.
00:08:39.328 --> 00:08:46.769
Everything is it's just all a plus and what's, what's crazy about this man.
00:08:47.158 --> 00:08:48.389
Is you.
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.028
You don't get hung up on the, on the results so much.
00:08:54.509 --> 00:08:55.229
The results.
00:08:55.229 --> 00:09:00.698
Aren't up to me, what I do to increase my surface area that puts me in position.
00:09:01.119 --> 00:09:02.528
For good things to happen.
00:09:03.129 --> 00:09:04.989
See the results aren't guaranteed.
00:09:06.489 --> 00:09:10.239
But what I do to increase my surface area is guaranteed.
00:09:10.658 --> 00:09:11.739
What a big difference.
00:09:12.249 --> 00:09:23.139
And so if I'm in position and I have a greater surface area, because I've held commitments to myself and I work a process persistently with purpose every single day.
00:09:24.578 --> 00:09:25.298
I'm going to win.
00:09:26.048 --> 00:09:27.158
I'm going to beat the guy.
00:09:27.668 --> 00:09:32.139
Who is so disillusioned by, oh, it's not working.
00:09:32.828 --> 00:09:33.308
So.
00:09:34.028 --> 00:09:38.078
They stopped putting the dots up, just put your dot up, increase your surface area.
00:09:38.558 --> 00:09:41.649
So what I want you to do day after day after day, just say, man.
00:09:42.219 --> 00:09:43.208
I don't know when.
00:09:43.989 --> 00:09:46.509
But I do know what I'm just going to put my dot up.
00:09:46.869 --> 00:09:50.318
Dot after dot, after dot, after dot they're all going to connect.
00:09:50.438 --> 00:09:52.178
You've got such a blot.
00:09:52.479 --> 00:09:53.828
That is sitting right there.
00:09:55.178 --> 00:09:57.099
It's it's going to happen for you.
00:09:58.568 --> 00:09:59.769
And if it's delayed.
00:10:00.188 --> 00:10:03.369
It's because there are things that are taking shape within you.
00:10:03.938 --> 00:10:05.078
And protecting you.
00:10:06.009 --> 00:10:07.208
And getting you ready.
00:10:07.509 --> 00:10:09.129
So that way you're equipped.
00:10:09.158 --> 00:10:10.149
You're stronger.
00:10:11.469 --> 00:10:12.639
You're better for it.
00:10:13.568 --> 00:10:14.559
It won't destroy.
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:14.859
You.
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:17.408
It'll take you to the next level.
00:10:18.188 --> 00:10:20.289
So if you find yourself frustrated, man.
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:31.068
It's probably, probably because you got a bunch of scattered dots on the map and so things aren't happening for you and professionally or personally it's because.
00:10:31.610 --> 00:10:33.649
You want to, you want a quick picture?
00:10:33.708 --> 00:10:34.879
It doesn't work that way.
00:10:34.909 --> 00:10:37.129
It's just, today is one.
00:10:37.490 --> 00:10:39.198
You dip it in that ink.
00:10:39.948 --> 00:10:41.120
Of persistence.
00:10:41.980 --> 00:10:44.259
And you purposefully worked that process.
00:10:44.379 --> 00:10:45.470
Boom dot.
00:10:45.990 --> 00:10:46.679
Next day.
00:10:47.899 --> 00:10:48.379
Dot.
00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:51.750
Worked my process again, dot.
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.450
. Next day dot just put you dot up.
00:10:56.169 --> 00:10:57.309
And you do that.
00:10:59.139 --> 00:10:59.769
Every day.
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:01.029
Over time.
00:11:01.029 --> 00:11:03.429
I remember, that's the timeline we're on, right?
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:04.870
Talk about it all the time.
00:11:05.169 --> 00:11:07.509
Eventually and ultimately eventually.
00:11:07.899 --> 00:11:09.789
You're going to see a bigger surface area.
00:11:10.149 --> 00:11:13.179
And ultimately, because you keep doing this.
00:11:13.990 --> 00:11:16.960
You will succeed because you built up so much momentum.
00:11:17.529 --> 00:11:19.720
People see that you're holding commitments to yourself.
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:20.980
They see the change.
00:11:21.009 --> 00:11:23.500
People are watching you, even though you don't think.
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.980
There are people that are sitting in the wings watching you.
00:11:27.450 --> 00:11:30.149
Some people are watching to see if you trip and fall.
00:11:30.870 --> 00:11:37.049
And other people are just looking on an admiration, be like, dude, he still comes back to it every single time.
00:11:37.649 --> 00:11:40.110
And they see that they want to be a part of that.
00:11:40.409 --> 00:11:42.299
They introduce other people to you.
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:44.950
To be a part of that too.
00:11:45.429 --> 00:11:49.299
Surface area, surface area opportunities, connections.
00:11:50.049 --> 00:11:51.190
Deeper knowledge.
00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:53.389
More refined purpose.
00:11:54.259 --> 00:11:55.070
Efficient.
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.129
Position for success.
00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:58.970
All right.
00:12:00.830 --> 00:12:04.129
Isn't it funny how we make things so much more difficult and they need to be.
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:05.570
Life is simple.
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.519
It's not easy, but it's simple.
00:12:08.059 --> 00:12:09.559
And so you work a process.
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:17.659
This is what I bang the drum on all the time on the black, the process guy persistently work, a process that puts you in position to succeed.
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:19.309
That's it.
00:12:20.629 --> 00:12:24.830
And if I do that, I'll increase my surface area.
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:27.379
And ultimately I'll succeed.
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:28.789
All right, let's get out of here.
00:12:28.820 --> 00:12:29.960
Thanks for sharing this show.
00:12:29.990 --> 00:12:31.970
Please share this show with someone else.
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.230
You power the show.
00:12:33.289 --> 00:12:34.789
You help grow the show.
00:12:35.149 --> 00:12:36.830
I can get behind a mic all day long.
00:12:37.970 --> 00:12:42.529
But if you're not sharing this with someone else, Then we can't grow.
00:12:42.620 --> 00:12:48.110
I need your help to grow this show, to get the word out for more people, because more people.
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:54.240
Need a way to address their problems, uncertainty, adversity, and complacency.
00:12:54.820 --> 00:12:56.139
And that's my commitment to you.
00:12:56.139 --> 00:13:01.019
I'll keep coming back and bring in another episode for you so that you can handle the adversity.
00:13:01.019 --> 00:13:03.328
Embrace uncertainty, never settle again.
00:13:03.599 --> 00:13:03.990
All right.
00:13:04.438 --> 00:13:05.250
So let's get out of here.
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:05.909
Keep it simple.
00:13:05.909 --> 00:13:06.539
Keep it moving.
00:13:06.539 --> 00:13:07.110
Never settle.
00:13:07.110 --> 00:13:08.059
Stay tough peace
00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:00.510
All right.
00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:01.050
3, 2, 1.
00:00:01.050 --> 00:00:01.500
Let's get it.
00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:02.279
Let's talk about.
00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:03.540
Luck today.
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:04.919
And.
00:00:06.030 --> 00:00:06.690
Luck.
00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:10.500
This seems like you have to be lucky.
00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:11.820
To get luck, right?
00:00:11.849 --> 00:00:13.500
For good things to happen your way.
00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:17.940
And I want to shed some light on what luck really is.
00:00:18.329 --> 00:00:22.469
And the first thing that you have to understand is, is luck.
00:00:22.949 --> 00:00:25.559
Is nothing more than persistence.
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:35.399
But it's not just persistence of just showing up so many times people, you know, run with the Woody Allen quote that success is showing up.
00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:40.619
Yeah, but the luck that is created in your life.
00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:43.799
Is the persistence of showing up.
00:00:44.829 --> 00:00:47.890
By purposefully working a process.
00:00:48.579 --> 00:00:50.170
And you show up no matter what.
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.619
But you're not just showing up saying, Hey, I'm here.
00:00:54.189 --> 00:00:56.469
You're showing up with persistence.
00:00:56.890 --> 00:00:58.000
No matter what.
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.670
Not hung up on yesterday's results.
00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:05.379
Not hanging your hat on the accolades that you've already accomplished.
00:01:06.370 --> 00:01:10.209
It's persistent to purposefully working a process.
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:12.189
That puts you in alignment.
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:13.929
With the person.
00:01:14.530 --> 00:01:15.489
You were meant to be.
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:18.129
That's what it is.
00:01:18.429 --> 00:01:23.099
That's what creates the luck see persistence, to purposefully working a process.
00:01:23.549 --> 00:01:25.469
Increases your surface area.
00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:27.719
Listen to me, this is so important.
00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:29.519
The persistence.
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.790
To purposefully working a process.
00:01:33.629 --> 00:01:36.599
Increases your surface area.
00:01:37.590 --> 00:01:38.849
For even more luck.
00:01:39.329 --> 00:01:41.370
Think of that, a surface area.
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:43.439
It's a positioning.
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:44.099
If you will.
00:01:45.540 --> 00:01:47.909
So what I want you to start thinking about.
00:01:48.510 --> 00:01:50.640
Is every day you show up.
00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:56.340
Imagine that there's this big picture of what success looks like to you.
00:01:56.579 --> 00:02:00.120
Here's this big picture of what your life.
00:02:00.450 --> 00:02:01.950
What you want your life to be?
00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:08.889
So there's this big blank canvas it's outlined with the person that you want to be.
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:10.750
All right, you got that mental image.
00:02:11.169 --> 00:02:13.479
Now when you show up.
00:02:13.900 --> 00:02:15.849
Imagine day one.
00:02:16.569 --> 00:02:17.620
That you're putting this.
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:19.719
There's red died.
00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:21.400
On that picture.
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:29.110
Now when you put that one red dot up there and you back up and there's this big ass canvas better be big.
00:02:29.139 --> 00:02:30.580
Cause you got a big life ahead of you.
00:02:31.210 --> 00:02:35.650
So when you first back up, man, there's this, there's this little red dot.
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:40.569
And you're like, Ah, I can barely even see it.
00:02:41.169 --> 00:02:42.460
That's how big the picture is.
00:02:43.750 --> 00:02:48.129
But you can't even, you know, you can barely see, you can just see this little red dot, next day you show up.
00:02:48.849 --> 00:02:49.900
Through your effort.
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.120
Of purposefully working your process.
00:02:53.389 --> 00:02:56.539
That's in alignment with the person that you want to be.
00:02:57.800 --> 00:02:58.949
Day two is another dot.
00:02:59.330 --> 00:03:02.449
Day three, another dot by day 60.
00:03:04.580 --> 00:03:05.360
You have this.
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.129
This blot.
00:03:07.699 --> 00:03:14.599
By 90 days, it's even a bigger blot and so that's your surface air.
00:03:14.689 --> 00:03:15.949
See what you've done.
00:03:16.430 --> 00:03:21.560
Is you have increased your surface area that puts you in position.
00:03:22.219 --> 00:03:24.199
For good things to happen in your life.
00:03:24.590 --> 00:03:26.270
But while you're working.
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.740
And waiting for whatever the result is.
00:03:31.930 --> 00:03:33.729
And for good things to happen for you.
00:03:34.930 --> 00:03:36.939
Good things are happening within you too.
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.330
And that's, what's beautiful about it instantly.
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:46.960
The outside the external part, you may not see the results, but inside the results.
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:48.580
Start on day one.
00:03:49.990 --> 00:03:51.219
You may not see him.
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:56.259
You may not know what's going on, but just because you can't see change, does it mean changes in happening?
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.460
So while you're waiting for good things to happen outside of you.
00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:03.610
Good things are happening within you.
00:04:04.819 --> 00:04:06.860
First off you're holding commitments to yourself.
00:04:07.099 --> 00:04:10.520
You getting shit done because you have a process.
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:12.979
I work a process every single day.
00:04:13.189 --> 00:04:14.419
It puts me in alignment.
00:04:15.020 --> 00:04:16.250
With the man, I need to be.
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.300
And so I don't worry necessarily about the external news.
00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:22.279
And I just worked the process.
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.670
So the days I get big lipped, I just say, Hey, check the box.
00:04:25.670 --> 00:04:25.850
Work.
00:04:25.850 --> 00:04:29.540
The process is in alignment with the man you want to be?
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:30.410
Yes.
00:04:30.829 --> 00:04:31.250
All right.
00:04:31.699 --> 00:04:32.569
Keep your head down.
00:04:32.870 --> 00:04:33.470
Keep going.
00:04:35.149 --> 00:04:35.269
It.
00:04:35.269 --> 00:04:35.540
Okay.
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.490
If I'm in alignment with that.
00:04:37.670 --> 00:04:39.589
And I don't deviate from that.
00:04:40.699 --> 00:04:42.470
Good things are gonna happen within me.
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.170
And it's going to put me in position.
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.970
Because my surface area is larger and I keep showing up.
00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:55.519
Good things will happen not only within me, but they will happen for me.
00:04:56.870 --> 00:05:04.370
When it needs to see when is not up to you, what you do for when it happens for you.
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:05.899
Great success.
00:05:06.410 --> 00:05:07.279
Is up to you.
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:16.819
So every day, man, you got to put that dot up and dot after dot, after dot, after dot you've increased your surface area.
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:23.300
90 days hundred and 80 days, 270 days a year later, two years.
00:05:23.300 --> 00:05:37.550
I do just imagine if you just worked a simple process every single day, four to six things every day, regardless of the results, you just put the dot up and I increased and I just put another dot beside the next one.
00:05:37.550 --> 00:05:38.870
And the next one and the next one.
00:05:39.860 --> 00:05:42.800
Bro your surface area is so large.
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.750
You are guaranteed for good things to happen in your life.
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:54.860
And so when you first start off, man, You're starting off, probably just parroting what everybody else is saying.
00:05:54.889 --> 00:05:58.009
So you tell a parrot something and the parrot repeats it back.
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.949
Well, that's what we do when we're first starting change.
00:06:01.189 --> 00:06:05.810
We just parroting what we're reading, what we're writing, what we're watching.
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:06.709
We're just kinda.
00:06:07.370 --> 00:06:11.930
We're just repeating those things, but see those repetitions.
00:06:13.670 --> 00:06:16.100
Changes your mindset changes.
00:06:16.100 --> 00:06:21.709
What you think about changes, what you actually see and when all those things change.
00:06:22.310 --> 00:06:25.149
Then you actually embody and become.
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:26.529
The making.
00:06:27.939 --> 00:06:29.860
Of that, that man that you want to be.
00:06:31.189 --> 00:06:32.420
Every day you show up.
00:06:33.850 --> 00:06:39.399
Not only are you more committed, but if you can keep commitments to yourself, bro, you can keep commitments to others.
00:06:39.579 --> 00:06:42.310
If you think about the times that you've broken commitments.
00:06:43.029 --> 00:06:43.930
In your life.
00:06:44.620 --> 00:06:46.120
I think about all those times.
00:06:46.389 --> 00:06:47.920
When I just broke commitments.
00:06:48.370 --> 00:06:51.279
It's because I wasn't keeping commitments to myself.
00:06:51.670 --> 00:06:56.829
If you work a process every day, And put that dot up.
00:06:57.699 --> 00:06:59.170
And dot after dot.
00:06:59.410 --> 00:07:03.009
I just want to increase my surface area if you'll do that every day.
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.560
You're keeping commitments to yourself.
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:11.199
So keeping commitments to other people, it's just a natural extension of who you are.
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.959
Plus you're learning wider and deeper.
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.379
Surface area surface area.
00:07:17.769 --> 00:07:18.610
It's what you're doing.
00:07:19.089 --> 00:07:20.800
And you've created this blot.
00:07:21.730 --> 00:07:23.860
That puts you in position for success.
00:07:24.699 --> 00:07:27.009
And see here's, what's different with you.
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:28.420
Than most people.
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:30.579
, you're persistent.
00:07:31.779 --> 00:07:33.910
By purposefully working a process.
00:07:34.420 --> 00:07:38.949
And you put dot after dot, after dot up every single day.
00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:42.858
You'll dunk on all of the other people.
00:07:43.468 --> 00:07:44.519
Who are in and out.
00:07:44.949 --> 00:07:45.788
They're scattered.
00:07:46.298 --> 00:07:49.358
They're dots are all over the place they put a few dots up on the map.
00:07:50.139 --> 00:07:51.338
Of who they want to be.
00:07:52.509 --> 00:07:53.319
And then they quit.
00:07:53.978 --> 00:07:56.678
And then you come back a few weeks later and then they put another dot up.
00:07:56.869 --> 00:07:59.449
So they've got all these scattered dots everywhere.
00:08:00.048 --> 00:08:01.788
They're just scattered all over the place.
00:08:02.329 --> 00:08:09.088
Well, they don't have a surface area because they've been starting quitting, starting quitting, they got all these little dots.
00:08:09.088 --> 00:08:13.348
That's why things aren't happening because there's no dots beside one another.
00:08:13.798 --> 00:08:23.999
But see, when you consistently show up, keep your head down, work in a simple process every day and you put dot after dot, after dot because they're together.
00:08:24.358 --> 00:08:26.009
It increases my surface area.
00:08:26.309 --> 00:08:32.139
That's what puts me in position for better opportunities, better connections.
00:08:33.538 --> 00:08:37.318
More knowledge, more commitment, more refinement.
00:08:37.708 --> 00:08:38.818
More efficiency.
00:08:39.328 --> 00:08:46.769
Everything is it's just all a plus and what's, what's crazy about this man.
00:08:47.158 --> 00:08:48.389
Is you.
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.028
You don't get hung up on the, on the results so much.
00:08:54.509 --> 00:08:55.229
The results.
00:08:55.229 --> 00:09:00.698
Aren't up to me, what I do to increase my surface area that puts me in position.
00:09:01.119 --> 00:09:02.528
For good things to happen.
00:09:03.129 --> 00:09:04.989
See the results aren't guaranteed.
00:09:06.489 --> 00:09:10.239
But what I do to increase my surface area is guaranteed.
00:09:10.658 --> 00:09:11.739
What a big difference.
00:09:12.249 --> 00:09:23.139
And so if I'm in position and I have a greater surface area, because I've held commitments to myself and I work a process persistently with purpose every single day.
00:09:24.578 --> 00:09:25.298
I'm going to win.
00:09:26.048 --> 00:09:27.158
I'm going to beat the guy.
00:09:27.668 --> 00:09:32.139
Who is so disillusioned by, oh, it's not working.
00:09:32.828 --> 00:09:33.308
So.
00:09:34.028 --> 00:09:38.078
They stopped putting the dots up, just put your dot up, increase your surface area.
00:09:38.558 --> 00:09:41.649
So what I want you to do day after day after day, just say, man.
00:09:42.219 --> 00:09:43.208
I don't know when.
00:09:43.989 --> 00:09:46.509
But I do know what I'm just going to put my dot up.
00:09:46.869 --> 00:09:50.318
Dot after dot, after dot, after dot they're all going to connect.
00:09:50.438 --> 00:09:52.178
You've got such a blot.
00:09:52.479 --> 00:09:53.828
That is sitting right there.
00:09:55.178 --> 00:09:57.099
It's it's going to happen for you.
00:09:58.568 --> 00:09:59.769
And if it's delayed.
00:10:00.188 --> 00:10:03.369
It's because there are things that are taking shape within you.
00:10:03.938 --> 00:10:05.078
And protecting you.
00:10:06.009 --> 00:10:07.208
And getting you ready.
00:10:07.509 --> 00:10:09.129
So that way you're equipped.
00:10:09.158 --> 00:10:10.149
You're stronger.
00:10:11.469 --> 00:10:12.639
You're better for it.
00:10:13.568 --> 00:10:14.559
It won't destroy.
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:14.859
You.
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:17.408
It'll take you to the next level.
00:10:18.188 --> 00:10:20.289
So if you find yourself frustrated, man.
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:31.068
It's probably, probably because you got a bunch of scattered dots on the map and so things aren't happening for you and professionally or personally it's because.
00:10:31.610 --> 00:10:33.649
You want to, you want a quick picture?
00:10:33.708 --> 00:10:34.879
It doesn't work that way.
00:10:34.909 --> 00:10:37.129
It's just, today is one.
00:10:37.490 --> 00:10:39.198
You dip it in that ink.
00:10:39.948 --> 00:10:41.120
Of persistence.
00:10:41.980 --> 00:10:44.259
And you purposefully worked that process.
00:10:44.379 --> 00:10:45.470
Boom dot.
00:10:45.990 --> 00:10:46.679
Next day.
00:10:47.899 --> 00:10:48.379
Dot.
00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:51.750
Worked my process again, dot.
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.450
. Next day dot just put you dot up.
00:10:56.169 --> 00:10:57.309
And you do that.
00:10:59.139 --> 00:10:59.769
Every day.
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:01.029
Over time.
00:11:01.029 --> 00:11:03.429
I remember, that's the timeline we're on, right?
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:04.870
Talk about it all the time.
00:11:05.169 --> 00:11:07.509
Eventually and ultimately eventually.
00:11:07.899 --> 00:11:09.789
You're going to see a bigger surface area.
00:11:10.149 --> 00:11:13.179
And ultimately, because you keep doing this.
00:11:13.990 --> 00:11:16.960
You will succeed because you built up so much momentum.
00:11:17.529 --> 00:11:19.720
People see that you're holding commitments to yourself.
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:20.980
They see the change.
00:11:21.009 --> 00:11:23.500
People are watching you, even though you don't think.
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.980
There are people that are sitting in the wings watching you.
00:11:27.450 --> 00:11:30.149
Some people are watching to see if you trip and fall.
00:11:30.870 --> 00:11:37.049
And other people are just looking on an admiration, be like, dude, he still comes back to it every single time.
00:11:37.649 --> 00:11:40.110
And they see that they want to be a part of that.
00:11:40.409 --> 00:11:42.299
They introduce other people to you.
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:44.950
To be a part of that too.
00:11:45.429 --> 00:11:49.299
Surface area, surface area opportunities, connections.
00:11:50.049 --> 00:11:51.190
Deeper knowledge.
00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:53.389
More refined purpose.
00:11:54.259 --> 00:11:55.070
Efficient.
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.129
Position for success.
00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:58.970
All right.
00:12:00.830 --> 00:12:04.129
Isn't it funny how we make things so much more difficult and they need to be.
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:05.570
Life is simple.
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.519
It's not easy, but it's simple.
00:12:08.059 --> 00:12:09.559
And so you work a process.
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:17.659
This is what I bang the drum on all the time on the black, the process guy persistently work, a process that puts you in position to succeed.
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:19.309
That's it.
00:12:20.629 --> 00:12:24.830
And if I do that, I'll increase my surface area.
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:27.379
And ultimately I'll succeed.
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:28.789
All right, let's get out of here.
00:12:28.820 --> 00:12:29.960
Thanks for sharing this show.
00:12:29.990 --> 00:12:31.970
Please share this show with someone else.
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.230
You power the show.
00:12:33.289 --> 00:12:34.789
You help grow the show.
00:12:35.149 --> 00:12:36.830
I can get behind a mic all day long.
00:12:37.970 --> 00:12:42.529
But if you're not sharing this with someone else, Then we can't grow.
00:12:42.620 --> 00:12:48.110
I need your help to grow this show, to get the word out for more people, because more people.
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:54.240
Need a way to address their problems, uncertainty, adversity, and complacency.
00:12:54.820 --> 00:12:56.139
And that's my commitment to you.
00:12:56.139 --> 00:13:01.019
I'll keep coming back and bring in another episode for you so that you can handle the adversity.
00:13:01.019 --> 00:13:03.328
Embrace uncertainty, never settle again.
00:13:03.599 --> 00:13:03.990
All right.
00:13:04.438 --> 00:13:05.250
So let's get out of here.
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:05.909
Keep it simple.
00:13:05.909 --> 00:13:06.539
Keep it moving.
00:13:06.539 --> 00:13:07.110
Never settle.
00:13:07.110 --> 00:13:08.059
Stay tough peace
