840. The Thing That You Work On Works On You.
When I started podcasting in 2017, I had no idea how creating a 5-minute podcast would transform and save my life.
"The thing that you work on works on you."
The question I want you to think about as you listen to this episode is: What are you purposefully working on, or what is working on you?

00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:00.510
All right.
00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:01.080
3, 2, 1.
00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:01.620
Let's get it.
00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:02.759
Cause I gotta get to work.
00:00:04.950 --> 00:00:07.320
Welcome to another episode of what's your problem?
00:00:07.349 --> 00:00:08.490
The podcast.
00:00:09.029 --> 00:00:10.679
I'm your host marsh Buice in here.
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:13.140
We focalized.
00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:16.440
Focalized on three problems.
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.440
We're all facing adversity, uncertainty and complacency.
00:00:19.739 --> 00:00:22.379
And you need some skills and you've got to work the skills.
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.609
To handle the adversity, embrace uncertainty and never settle again.
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:34.679
And those skills all start with the letter C communication, curiosity, creativity, continuous learning, and action and productive confrontation.
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:39.929
So if you find that you're just kind of stuck in the mud in life.
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.000
Chances are it's one.
00:00:42.390 --> 00:00:47.369
A few, maybe all, hopefully not all, but all of the five things.
00:00:47.729 --> 00:00:52.140
That you're not working on, so you're not communicating well with yourself and others.
00:00:52.380 --> 00:00:54.840
You're not being curious.
00:00:55.140 --> 00:00:56.520
You're living in statements.
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:57.630
You're not being creative.
00:00:57.630 --> 00:00:59.369
You're bitching about what you don't have.
00:00:59.729 --> 00:01:01.170
You're not a continuous learner.
00:01:01.170 --> 00:01:02.340
You've stopped learning.
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:11.519
And you refuse to confront some things, not only yourself, but also in others as well, but have no fear.
00:01:12.150 --> 00:01:13.170
We're all here.
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:17.310
We've all been here, man.
00:01:17.310 --> 00:01:19.530
And this is something, this is a daily practice.
00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:21.209
This isn't a set it and forget it.
00:01:21.209 --> 00:01:22.769
It's not like you're just going to be.
00:01:23.129 --> 00:01:25.680
And have a communication badge for the rest of your life.
00:01:25.709 --> 00:01:27.000
Dude, it's, it's like a muscle.
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.430
These five CS are muscles, man.
00:01:29.430 --> 00:01:31.620
It's something that you have to work on every single day.
00:01:31.620 --> 00:01:38.819
And when I kind of get frustrated and I get pissed off and, and uh, you know, things start to kind of regress in my life.
00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:43.019
I have to look at the checklist and I say, Hey, this is what's going on.
00:01:43.230 --> 00:01:44.819
Just had it yesterday, man.
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:50.879
I got called to the carpet cause I stopped communicating and see when I get stressed out, I kind of go into this.
00:01:51.390 --> 00:01:52.560
Iceman mode.
00:01:52.980 --> 00:01:54.329
And I really drilled down.
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:56.609
I don't really talk a lot to people.
00:01:56.969 --> 00:02:01.170
And so people who love me really spot that very quickly.
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.700
And then of course, when they ask me what's wrong, I'm like nothing, nothing.
00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:07.500
Because I'm trying to work it out in.
00:02:07.659 --> 00:02:09.750
in myself, but I've got to turn.
00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:15.689
To those who are very seasoned and who loved me very much, and then open up to a few people.
00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:18.060
And that way they can kind of set me back straight.
00:02:18.150 --> 00:02:19.020
So.
00:02:19.979 --> 00:02:21.509
I'm in this with you as well.
00:02:21.930 --> 00:02:23.819
So let's get with it today, man.
00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:29.579
There is a phrase I really, really love and the phrase is the thing that you work on.
00:02:30.118 --> 00:02:30.929
Works on you.
00:02:32.098 --> 00:02:34.019
And I wholeheartedly believe this.
00:02:34.528 --> 00:02:38.459
For example, back in 2017, when I first started my podcast.
00:02:38.998 --> 00:02:40.829
The app that I was using.
00:02:41.658 --> 00:02:47.209
It only allow me to publish a podcast or record a podcast and publish it.
00:02:47.389 --> 00:02:50.868
It only gave me five minutes of bandwidth of recording time.
00:02:51.118 --> 00:02:53.848
So I had to learn how to communicate a message.
00:02:54.598 --> 00:02:58.979
And deliver that message from soup to nuts, because I didn't want to carry it over.
00:02:58.979 --> 00:03:00.838
See you tomorrow for the rest of the message.
00:03:00.868 --> 00:03:04.049
No, I had to deliver a message from front to back.
00:03:04.808 --> 00:03:05.968
in only five minutes.
00:03:07.628 --> 00:03:11.739
And the commitment to publish a new episode every day for one year.
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:13.929
Five minutes a day.
00:03:15.399 --> 00:03:17.109
Became a forcing function.
00:03:17.679 --> 00:03:19.359
For me to think about a topic.
00:03:20.169 --> 00:03:21.038
Write about it.
00:03:22.058 --> 00:03:23.829
Because I had unraveled the thoughts.
00:03:23.859 --> 00:03:28.449
I didn't want to just get on the mic and just blabbel , and then deliver the message.
00:03:29.239 --> 00:03:30.368
in only five minutes.
00:03:31.239 --> 00:03:32.049
The next day.
00:03:32.558 --> 00:03:33.308
Rinse and repeat.
00:03:33.729 --> 00:03:35.229
Because I'd made the commitment.
00:03:35.739 --> 00:03:37.748
Of 365 episodes.
00:03:39.399 --> 00:03:40.929
The thing that you work on.
00:03:41.739 --> 00:03:42.549
Works on you.
00:03:45.209 --> 00:03:45.889
proof positive.
00:03:45.968 --> 00:03:48.008
So working on the podcast every day.
00:03:48.669 --> 00:03:50.378
Help me in so many different areas.
00:03:50.408 --> 00:03:51.098
Number one.
00:03:51.549 --> 00:03:53.588
I had to learn how to think clearer and quicker.
00:03:54.278 --> 00:03:55.088
Number two.
00:03:55.688 --> 00:03:57.098
I had to communicate.
00:03:57.788 --> 00:03:59.438
In a clear and concise manner.
00:04:00.128 --> 00:04:02.079
Number three, the daily message.
00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:04.269
Develop my consistency.
00:04:04.598 --> 00:04:05.438
Do you know?
00:04:06.549 --> 00:04:09.008
That is the first time outside of a job.
00:04:09.788 --> 00:04:11.979
That actually held a commitment to myself.
00:04:12.008 --> 00:04:12.968
There are so many things, man.
00:04:12.968 --> 00:04:16.298
I started and stopped and quit, and I don't want to do this anymore.
00:04:16.298 --> 00:04:16.809
It's hard.
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.809
And I just, my whole life consisted of that.
00:04:20.259 --> 00:04:22.389
And the 365.
00:04:22.809 --> 00:04:26.199
Messages that I said, I'm going to deliver one every single day.
00:04:28.209 --> 00:04:32.889
The develop my consistency and dude, at the end of that, I was so proud.
00:04:33.339 --> 00:04:34.238
That I did it.
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:36.908
I just carried it on, man.
00:04:37.029 --> 00:04:37.899
I've just kept going.
00:04:37.899 --> 00:04:41.288
I was supposed to go from 2017 to 2018.
00:04:42.249 --> 00:04:45.309
I was going to record 365 messages and walk away from it.
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.339
Here we are 2024.
00:04:49.629 --> 00:04:50.858
Dude, we're still rocking.
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.468
840 messages later.
00:04:53.589 --> 00:04:54.038
All right.
00:04:54.579 --> 00:04:57.488
So another thing, the daily practice.
00:04:58.178 --> 00:05:02.798
Made me more creative because every day, man, I had to come up with a new topic.
00:05:02.978 --> 00:05:08.288
I had to talk about something new every single day, and I didn't want to be the same categories.
00:05:08.738 --> 00:05:10.959
I wanted to learn.
00:05:11.589 --> 00:05:14.079
And talk about what I was learning.
00:05:14.108 --> 00:05:14.949
Talk about.
00:05:15.309 --> 00:05:17.319
What just excites me.
00:05:17.918 --> 00:05:19.238
And what was an epiphany?
00:05:19.238 --> 00:05:21.908
See, I was at the bottom rung in the ladder, man.
00:05:22.509 --> 00:05:30.158
And so this was just something new it's like I had fresh eyes every single day and because I had a new message every day.
00:05:30.699 --> 00:05:32.529
It made me more alert.
00:05:33.339 --> 00:05:34.449
Throughout the day.
00:05:34.598 --> 00:05:36.908
In other words, I'm recording this on a Tuesday.
00:05:37.389 --> 00:05:40.598
If I know I got another message to come out with on Wednesday.
00:05:41.108 --> 00:05:44.559
I'm super alert all throughout the day on Tuesday.
00:05:45.339 --> 00:05:49.178
And I record and my voice memo, app ideas.
00:05:49.538 --> 00:05:51.968
Uh, capture ideas, messages.
00:05:52.529 --> 00:05:54.779
Different things that I learned throughout the day.
00:05:54.779 --> 00:05:57.178
I capture those because I know I'm not going to remember them.
00:05:57.509 --> 00:05:59.428
So that way, the following morning.
00:06:00.059 --> 00:06:02.579
I could sit down in my quiet time.
00:06:03.358 --> 00:06:04.978
And choose one of those topics.
00:06:05.579 --> 00:06:07.798
And write about the thing that sticks to the soul.
00:06:09.238 --> 00:06:10.559
This daily practice.
00:06:11.608 --> 00:06:14.098
Made me a continuous learner because I got to come out.
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.199
With a new message every day.
00:06:16.738 --> 00:06:21.718
And lastly, and probably more importantly, The daily practice.
00:06:22.108 --> 00:06:23.399
Forced me to confront.
00:06:24.269 --> 00:06:26.879
Some longstanding issues that I had in my life.
00:06:27.689 --> 00:06:30.298
Obesity, lying to myself.
00:06:31.649 --> 00:06:32.668
Sobriety.
00:06:33.449 --> 00:06:35.879
Finances relationships.
00:06:36.329 --> 00:06:38.819
I mean, dude, I wasn't winning in anything.
00:06:39.149 --> 00:06:41.309
At that time, other than breathing.
00:06:42.059 --> 00:06:43.559
I wasn't really winning.
00:06:43.949 --> 00:06:45.238
In any other areas.
00:06:45.509 --> 00:06:50.939
And so the daily practice, not knowing man, but the daily practice.
00:06:52.238 --> 00:06:55.209
It was what opened me up because I had to confront it.
00:06:55.209 --> 00:06:58.509
I see, I didn't start the podcast.
00:06:59.168 --> 00:07:00.278
To get these benefits.
00:07:00.338 --> 00:07:02.798
I had no idea the benefits were even available.
00:07:03.309 --> 00:07:04.959
The thing that you work on.
00:07:06.129 --> 00:07:06.879
Works on you.
00:07:07.968 --> 00:07:11.389
And so, because I purposefully worked on it every single day.
00:07:12.379 --> 00:07:15.678
The practice masked as a podcast.
00:07:16.788 --> 00:07:18.048
Ended up working on me.
00:07:19.668 --> 00:07:22.548
And I was able to work within the five CS.
00:07:22.939 --> 00:07:24.439
The five CS came about.
00:07:25.579 --> 00:07:29.959
Just as I put in the reps, I didn't start the podcast with the five CS.
00:07:30.619 --> 00:07:32.358
I was actually just working on it.
00:07:32.358 --> 00:07:35.059
I was probably hundreds of episodes down the road.
00:07:35.658 --> 00:07:40.009
And literally I was running one day and I said, what does it take to be successful in sales?
00:07:41.369 --> 00:07:42.389
Communication.
00:07:43.288 --> 00:07:44.428
Curiosity.
00:07:44.999 --> 00:07:46.079
Creativity.
00:07:46.649 --> 00:07:47.848
Continuous learning.
00:07:48.869 --> 00:07:49.949
And confrontation.
00:07:51.238 --> 00:07:53.369
What's it take to be successful in life.
00:07:54.119 --> 00:07:56.879
Communication curiosity.
00:07:57.269 --> 00:07:58.348
Creativity.
00:07:58.769 --> 00:08:00.689
Continuous learning and action.
00:08:01.228 --> 00:08:02.968
At productive confrontation.
00:08:03.238 --> 00:08:03.689
Hm.
00:08:04.139 --> 00:08:05.728
That's how I came up with the sales life.
00:08:06.658 --> 00:08:09.538
And so I was able to work within these five CS.
00:08:09.538 --> 00:08:11.038
This became a working.
00:08:12.269 --> 00:08:15.778
Podcast, a working narrative in my life.
00:08:16.918 --> 00:08:19.889
And everything that I was working on.
00:08:20.338 --> 00:08:21.718
Worked on me.
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.978
And so I was able to take the skills as I was learning these things.
00:08:26.788 --> 00:08:28.588
And turn to society.
00:08:29.338 --> 00:08:30.749
And work on these.
00:08:31.528 --> 00:08:32.969
And apply these things.
00:08:33.778 --> 00:08:35.788
in my personal and professional life.
00:08:36.989 --> 00:08:38.249
And I'm in the best.
00:08:38.849 --> 00:08:44.788
Mental physical, spiritual, financial in anything ever relational.
00:08:45.599 --> 00:08:46.229
Shape.
00:08:46.589 --> 00:08:48.149
Anything else that ends in L Y.
00:08:48.778 --> 00:08:49.769
I'm in the best.
00:08:50.609 --> 00:08:51.869
Shape of my life.
00:08:53.339 --> 00:08:54.778
The thing that you work on.
00:08:55.198 --> 00:08:56.068
Works on you.
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.049
So here's my question to you today.
00:09:00.208 --> 00:09:01.259
What are you working on?
00:09:02.058 --> 00:09:04.739
or What's working on you.
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:18.328
And you may not have given this any thought, and this is why I want to bring you this message, because if you're not purposeful, In segmenting just a little bit of time every day for you is why I say you come first.
00:09:20.158 --> 00:09:25.019
Then, if you're not working on those things segmenting just a little bit of time, not a whole lot of time though.
00:09:25.288 --> 00:09:29.399
Consistency over intensity, but segmenting just a little bit of time.
00:09:30.149 --> 00:09:32.429
Preferably before your day starts.
00:09:33.269 --> 00:09:36.089
Then, if you're not purposefully working on something.
00:09:36.929 --> 00:09:41.068
Then everything else, you leave the, the barn doors open.
00:09:41.549 --> 00:09:46.859
For society, external forces, family situations.
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:55.349
Uh, finances, you let all those things work on you, but they're not working on you in a productive manner.
00:09:56.129 --> 00:09:58.019
they're sawing you down, man.
00:09:58.589 --> 00:10:02.318
And you're getting smaller and smaller and smaller in life.
00:10:02.948 --> 00:10:05.109
And you're shrinking from your potential.
00:10:05.889 --> 00:10:09.129
Because you're not purposefully working on something.
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:12.099
And so you're allowing all of those things.
00:10:12.938 --> 00:10:13.869
To work on you.
00:10:14.818 --> 00:10:16.318
So you gotta be only on offense.
00:10:16.798 --> 00:10:19.408
What will you choose to work on today?
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:21.479
That adds.
00:10:22.649 --> 00:10:24.149
I say either or both.
00:10:24.208 --> 00:10:25.048
I say both.
00:10:25.619 --> 00:10:26.339
That either.
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:28.528
Ads that both.
00:10:30.149 --> 00:10:32.668
Adds fuel to your soul.
00:10:32.729 --> 00:10:33.688
That's so important.
00:10:33.719 --> 00:10:36.869
Cause you got to have a fulfilled life fuel to your soul.
00:10:38.188 --> 00:10:40.078
And aligns you.
00:10:42.058 --> 00:10:43.288
With the best.
00:10:43.769 --> 00:10:45.808
Chances of success.
00:10:46.708 --> 00:10:48.269
Alignment is so key.
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:53.649
So if you take stock and where you are right now, You're out of alignment.
00:10:54.578 --> 00:10:59.979
In probably a few areas out of, I was out of way out of alignment, out of everything.
00:11:00.428 --> 00:11:02.349
Like you let go of the wheel in my life.
00:11:02.349 --> 00:11:06.308
It was like, It went off to the left and into the ditch quick.
00:11:06.938 --> 00:11:12.099
So I had to work on these things and bring myself remember this, the timeline of your own.
00:11:12.489 --> 00:11:13.028
Eventually.
00:11:13.058 --> 00:11:17.229
And ultimately, eventually these things, you just work on them every single day.
00:11:17.229 --> 00:11:21.788
They'll begin to line up and ultimately you'll be in position.
00:11:22.328 --> 00:11:23.259
To succeed.
00:11:25.089 --> 00:11:27.849
So maybe right now you're ignorant.
00:11:28.719 --> 00:11:31.778
But it's not that you're just ignorant because you're ignorant.
00:11:32.048 --> 00:11:38.769
You're ignorant because you've ignored, which is the root word of ignorant you've ignored.
00:11:39.458 --> 00:11:42.038
Things that you should have been working on.
00:11:42.859 --> 00:11:48.078
Because they're a little hard because they're a little dark because they're a little thick and heavy.
00:11:48.589 --> 00:11:51.078
You kind of try to stay away from those things.
00:11:51.288 --> 00:11:52.908
And so you began to choose.
00:11:53.328 --> 00:11:54.499
Which path to take.
00:11:54.499 --> 00:11:55.308
That's easier.
00:11:55.609 --> 00:11:59.538
When instead, you should just put a little time aside.
00:12:00.229 --> 00:12:01.879
And work on something.
00:12:02.899 --> 00:12:05.808
The thing that you work on, works on you.
00:12:06.139 --> 00:12:10.609
So if it's fitness work on it, I was just reading out a life force.
00:12:10.609 --> 00:12:11.688
Tony Robbins' book.
00:12:12.139 --> 00:12:13.068
Bought a long time ago.
00:12:13.099 --> 00:12:13.999
It's a big ass book.
00:12:13.999 --> 00:12:21.739
So I just take little chunks here and there, but you know, he had world famous trainer on there says load star 15 minutes a day.
00:12:22.038 --> 00:12:27.979
The most important things to start with every single day, you don't need a gym membership, squat, lunges.
00:12:28.308 --> 00:12:29.568
Pushups and planks.
00:12:30.048 --> 00:12:33.288
Just do a few rounds of those boom check the box.
00:12:33.589 --> 00:12:37.609
So if it's fitness work on it, And that fitness will work on you.
00:12:38.058 --> 00:12:40.129
If it's finances work on it, man.
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:42.078
Grab Kiyosaki.
00:12:42.078 --> 00:12:44.538
Robert Kiyosaki's book, rich dad, poor dad.
00:12:44.568 --> 00:12:46.609
Read that you don't have to be a dad.
00:12:47.208 --> 00:12:49.369
But it just starts familiarizing.
00:12:49.369 --> 00:12:50.778
If you find that you get kind of.
00:12:52.369 --> 00:12:53.208
on finances.
00:12:53.239 --> 00:12:56.808
Or as soon as you get an income tax return, you go blow it at the mall.
00:12:57.168 --> 00:12:58.458
Okay, you got to settle into that.
00:12:58.489 --> 00:13:01.879
You're not going to get ever get a million dollars because you're going to destroy yourself.
00:13:02.389 --> 00:13:07.519
So God is like putting the brakes on that says, look until you have some literacy about you.
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.938
I'm not going to bless you with his things because you can't handle it.
00:13:11.808 --> 00:13:12.349
All right.
00:13:13.188 --> 00:13:16.308
So if it's finances, if it's relationships do work on it.
00:13:17.418 --> 00:13:19.009
.
00:13:17.418 --> 00:13:19.009
vibe attracts your tribe.
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:26.749
And so if you're attracting bullshit ass people, it's because you're putting a bullshit ass vibe out there and you're.
00:13:27.408 --> 00:13:32.538
Moving around in those areas, probably because you're not being a continuous learner.
00:13:32.538 --> 00:13:39.168
You're watching fight videos instead of familiarizing yourself with something that you can learn, shit, start learning AI.
00:13:39.198 --> 00:13:40.188
If you're going to do anything.
00:13:41.359 --> 00:13:44.089
Knowledge, speaking of work on it.
00:13:44.749 --> 00:13:48.379
I preach about the random reading every single day, 15 minutes.
00:13:48.379 --> 00:13:50.599
You don't have to read a book from soup to nuts, man.
00:13:50.899 --> 00:13:53.839
Just grab, pull a book off the shelf.
00:13:54.139 --> 00:13:55.099
Come on over, man.
00:13:55.099 --> 00:13:56.568
Grab one of them off my shelf.
00:13:56.928 --> 00:13:58.219
Take 15 minutes.
00:13:58.249 --> 00:13:59.479
Read that one chapter.
00:13:59.509 --> 00:14:04.788
If you can get through the chapter at the end of 15 minutes, if you only got a few pages in cool.
00:14:05.058 --> 00:14:13.249
The thing that you work on, works on you, and you're going to find, you're going to read something or share something, or just familiarize yourself with something.
00:14:13.249 --> 00:14:15.288
And you're going to step outside these doors.
00:14:16.038 --> 00:14:20.928
And the thing that you just worked on the universe has a way of poof.
00:14:21.649 --> 00:14:23.149
Bringing that right there in front of you.
00:14:23.149 --> 00:14:24.139
Like, holy shit.
00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:25.428
I just wrote about this.
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:27.139
I just read about this.
00:14:28.788 --> 00:14:29.428
It's a God-wink.
00:14:30.918 --> 00:14:33.349
Creativity I happened to deliver a podcast.
00:14:33.379 --> 00:14:35.308
I don't know how you would like to express your art.
00:14:35.339 --> 00:14:36.928
Everybody's talented in something.
00:14:36.928 --> 00:14:44.609
If it's woodworking, if it's working on old cars, if it's spray painting graffiti on the side of a bridge, I don't give a shit.
00:14:44.818 --> 00:14:50.519
Just express yourself, man, because that is part of the creativity.
00:14:50.548 --> 00:14:55.408
I'm not paying your ticket for painting on the side of union Pacific rail cars.
00:14:55.649 --> 00:14:56.578
I'm not doing that.
00:14:56.999 --> 00:14:58.469
So I'm not bailing you out.
00:14:58.708 --> 00:15:01.438
So don't call me, but if that's what you need to do.
00:15:02.158 --> 00:15:03.178
By all means.
00:15:03.749 --> 00:15:04.769
Go ahead and do it.
00:15:05.749 --> 00:15:07.938
Consistency over intensity.
00:15:08.119 --> 00:15:09.798
So here's the thing, man.
00:15:09.948 --> 00:15:11.479
Don't do something.
00:15:12.049 --> 00:15:20.149
In exchange for a hard and fast result, but I don't do this...-no, Just work on something.
00:15:20.479 --> 00:15:21.438
Relax.
00:15:22.219 --> 00:15:23.779
The thing that you work on.
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:25.759
Works on you.
00:15:26.389 --> 00:15:35.389
And dude, I bring you this message because yes, I work on the podcast, but in my professional life in sales, I realized.
00:15:35.958 --> 00:15:37.938
I was really kind of going around.
00:15:38.359 --> 00:15:40.369
Reacting to a bunch of bullshit.
00:15:40.698 --> 00:15:45.979
And so I was letting the external pressures come at me and dude, I'm like hot off the press.
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:47.809
I'm talking like yesterday.
00:15:48.349 --> 00:15:50.779
I was letting all the external pressures.
00:15:51.229 --> 00:15:52.609
Dictate what I do.
00:15:53.119 --> 00:15:55.489
And so I got called to the carpet, to the carpet.
00:15:55.789 --> 00:15:57.679
And he's like, bro, what's going on with you?
00:15:57.828 --> 00:15:59.359
Like you're like stressed out.
00:16:00.019 --> 00:16:01.279
You're skipping stuff.
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:05.179
You live this, isn't your normal, you, the thing that you work on works on.
00:16:05.179 --> 00:16:07.788
You see, I wasn't on the all fence.
00:16:08.239 --> 00:16:10.788
I wasn't coming in, working on something.
00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:12.590
And because of that.
00:16:12.979 --> 00:16:15.409
Either I work on it or it's going to work on me.
00:16:15.649 --> 00:16:22.729
So if I don't put the rudder in the, in the, in the water and say, this is my steering, this is where I'm going.
00:16:23.298 --> 00:16:25.458
Then I'm just a rudderless ship.
00:16:25.938 --> 00:16:28.370
And the waves and the current.
00:16:29.538 --> 00:16:31.340
The winds of life.
00:16:31.779 --> 00:16:34.458
are going to fucking propel me all over the place.
00:16:34.548 --> 00:16:36.769
No wonder I'll bang the shores.
00:16:36.979 --> 00:16:38.808
No wonder I'll get shipwreck.
00:16:39.019 --> 00:16:40.759
That's the thing for you.
00:16:41.419 --> 00:16:43.278
Put that rudder into in the water.
00:16:43.698 --> 00:16:45.379
The thing that you work on.
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:51.438
Works on you, you do your part, you commit to that just a little bit, every single day.
00:16:52.669 --> 00:16:53.869
And watch it work on you.
00:16:54.318 --> 00:16:54.708
All right.
00:16:54.769 --> 00:16:55.369
Let's get out of here.
00:16:55.429 --> 00:16:56.719
Thanks for sharing today's episode.
00:16:56.719 --> 00:16:59.298
Share this episode with one person a day.
00:16:59.629 --> 00:17:00.379
One person.
00:17:00.739 --> 00:17:01.609
All right, keep it simple.
00:17:01.609 --> 00:17:02.208
Keep it moving.
00:17:02.208 --> 00:17:03.139
Never settle.
00:17:03.619 --> 00:17:04.219
Stay tough.
00:17:04.250 --> 00:17:04.699
Let's get it.
00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:00.510
All right.
00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:01.080
3, 2, 1.
00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:01.620
Let's get it.
00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:02.759
Cause I gotta get to work.
00:00:04.950 --> 00:00:07.320
Welcome to another episode of what's your problem?
00:00:07.349 --> 00:00:08.490
The podcast.
00:00:09.029 --> 00:00:10.679
I'm your host marsh Buice in here.
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:13.140
We focalized.
00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:16.440
Focalized on three problems.
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.440
We're all facing adversity, uncertainty and complacency.
00:00:19.739 --> 00:00:22.379
And you need some skills and you've got to work the skills.
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.609
To handle the adversity, embrace uncertainty and never settle again.
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:34.679
And those skills all start with the letter C communication, curiosity, creativity, continuous learning, and action and productive confrontation.
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:39.929
So if you find that you're just kind of stuck in the mud in life.
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.000
Chances are it's one.
00:00:42.390 --> 00:00:47.369
A few, maybe all, hopefully not all, but all of the five things.
00:00:47.729 --> 00:00:52.140
That you're not working on, so you're not communicating well with yourself and others.
00:00:52.380 --> 00:00:54.840
You're not being curious.
00:00:55.140 --> 00:00:56.520
You're living in statements.
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:57.630
You're not being creative.
00:00:57.630 --> 00:00:59.369
You're bitching about what you don't have.
00:00:59.729 --> 00:01:01.170
You're not a continuous learner.
00:01:01.170 --> 00:01:02.340
You've stopped learning.
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:11.519
And you refuse to confront some things, not only yourself, but also in others as well, but have no fear.
00:01:12.150 --> 00:01:13.170
We're all here.
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:17.310
We've all been here, man.
00:01:17.310 --> 00:01:19.530
And this is something, this is a daily practice.
00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:21.209
This isn't a set it and forget it.
00:01:21.209 --> 00:01:22.769
It's not like you're just going to be.
00:01:23.129 --> 00:01:25.680
And have a communication badge for the rest of your life.
00:01:25.709 --> 00:01:27.000
Dude, it's, it's like a muscle.
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.430
These five CS are muscles, man.
00:01:29.430 --> 00:01:31.620
It's something that you have to work on every single day.
00:01:31.620 --> 00:01:38.819
And when I kind of get frustrated and I get pissed off and, and uh, you know, things start to kind of regress in my life.
00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:43.019
I have to look at the checklist and I say, Hey, this is what's going on.
00:01:43.230 --> 00:01:44.819
Just had it yesterday, man.
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:50.879
I got called to the carpet cause I stopped communicating and see when I get stressed out, I kind of go into this.
00:01:51.390 --> 00:01:52.560
Iceman mode.
00:01:52.980 --> 00:01:54.329
And I really drilled down.
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:56.609
I don't really talk a lot to people.
00:01:56.969 --> 00:02:01.170
And so people who love me really spot that very quickly.
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.700
And then of course, when they ask me what's wrong, I'm like nothing, nothing.
00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:07.500
Because I'm trying to work it out in.
00:02:07.659 --> 00:02:09.750
in myself, but I've got to turn.
00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:15.689
To those who are very seasoned and who loved me very much, and then open up to a few people.
00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:18.060
And that way they can kind of set me back straight.
00:02:18.150 --> 00:02:19.020
So.
00:02:19.979 --> 00:02:21.509
I'm in this with you as well.
00:02:21.930 --> 00:02:23.819
So let's get with it today, man.
00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:29.579
There is a phrase I really, really love and the phrase is the thing that you work on.
00:02:30.118 --> 00:02:30.929
Works on you.
00:02:32.098 --> 00:02:34.019
And I wholeheartedly believe this.
00:02:34.528 --> 00:02:38.459
For example, back in 2017, when I first started my podcast.
00:02:38.998 --> 00:02:40.829
The app that I was using.
00:02:41.658 --> 00:02:47.209
It only allow me to publish a podcast or record a podcast and publish it.
00:02:47.389 --> 00:02:50.868
It only gave me five minutes of bandwidth of recording time.
00:02:51.118 --> 00:02:53.848
So I had to learn how to communicate a message.
00:02:54.598 --> 00:02:58.979
And deliver that message from soup to nuts, because I didn't want to carry it over.
00:02:58.979 --> 00:03:00.838
See you tomorrow for the rest of the message.
00:03:00.868 --> 00:03:04.049
No, I had to deliver a message from front to back.
00:03:04.808 --> 00:03:05.968
in only five minutes.
00:03:07.628 --> 00:03:11.739
And the commitment to publish a new episode every day for one year.
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:13.929
Five minutes a day.
00:03:15.399 --> 00:03:17.109
Became a forcing function.
00:03:17.679 --> 00:03:19.359
For me to think about a topic.
00:03:20.169 --> 00:03:21.038
Write about it.
00:03:22.058 --> 00:03:23.829
Because I had unraveled the thoughts.
00:03:23.859 --> 00:03:28.449
I didn't want to just get on the mic and just blabbel , and then deliver the message.
00:03:29.239 --> 00:03:30.368
in only five minutes.
00:03:31.239 --> 00:03:32.049
The next day.
00:03:32.558 --> 00:03:33.308
Rinse and repeat.
00:03:33.729 --> 00:03:35.229
Because I'd made the commitment.
00:03:35.739 --> 00:03:37.748
Of 365 episodes.
00:03:39.399 --> 00:03:40.929
The thing that you work on.
00:03:41.739 --> 00:03:42.549
Works on you.
00:03:45.209 --> 00:03:45.889
proof positive.
00:03:45.968 --> 00:03:48.008
So working on the podcast every day.
00:03:48.669 --> 00:03:50.378
Help me in so many different areas.
00:03:50.408 --> 00:03:51.098
Number one.
00:03:51.549 --> 00:03:53.588
I had to learn how to think clearer and quicker.
00:03:54.278 --> 00:03:55.088
Number two.
00:03:55.688 --> 00:03:57.098
I had to communicate.
00:03:57.788 --> 00:03:59.438
In a clear and concise manner.
00:04:00.128 --> 00:04:02.079
Number three, the daily message.
00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:04.269
Develop my consistency.
00:04:04.598 --> 00:04:05.438
Do you know?
00:04:06.549 --> 00:04:09.008
That is the first time outside of a job.
00:04:09.788 --> 00:04:11.979
That actually held a commitment to myself.
00:04:12.008 --> 00:04:12.968
There are so many things, man.
00:04:12.968 --> 00:04:16.298
I started and stopped and quit, and I don't want to do this anymore.
00:04:16.298 --> 00:04:16.809
It's hard.
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.809
And I just, my whole life consisted of that.
00:04:20.259 --> 00:04:22.389
And the 365.
00:04:22.809 --> 00:04:26.199
Messages that I said, I'm going to deliver one every single day.
00:04:28.209 --> 00:04:32.889
The develop my consistency and dude, at the end of that, I was so proud.
00:04:33.339 --> 00:04:34.238
That I did it.
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:36.908
I just carried it on, man.
00:04:37.029 --> 00:04:37.899
I've just kept going.
00:04:37.899 --> 00:04:41.288
I was supposed to go from 2017 to 2018.
00:04:42.249 --> 00:04:45.309
I was going to record 365 messages and walk away from it.
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.339
Here we are 2024.
00:04:49.629 --> 00:04:50.858
Dude, we're still rocking.
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.468
840 messages later.
00:04:53.589 --> 00:04:54.038
All right.
00:04:54.579 --> 00:04:57.488
So another thing, the daily practice.
00:04:58.178 --> 00:05:02.798
Made me more creative because every day, man, I had to come up with a new topic.
00:05:02.978 --> 00:05:08.288
I had to talk about something new every single day, and I didn't want to be the same categories.
00:05:08.738 --> 00:05:10.959
I wanted to learn.
00:05:11.589 --> 00:05:14.079
And talk about what I was learning.
00:05:14.108 --> 00:05:14.949
Talk about.
00:05:15.309 --> 00:05:17.319
What just excites me.
00:05:17.918 --> 00:05:19.238
And what was an epiphany?
00:05:19.238 --> 00:05:21.908
See, I was at the bottom rung in the ladder, man.
00:05:22.509 --> 00:05:30.158
And so this was just something new it's like I had fresh eyes every single day and because I had a new message every day.
00:05:30.699 --> 00:05:32.529
It made me more alert.
00:05:33.339 --> 00:05:34.449
Throughout the day.
00:05:34.598 --> 00:05:36.908
In other words, I'm recording this on a Tuesday.
00:05:37.389 --> 00:05:40.598
If I know I got another message to come out with on Wednesday.
00:05:41.108 --> 00:05:44.559
I'm super alert all throughout the day on Tuesday.
00:05:45.339 --> 00:05:49.178
And I record and my voice memo, app ideas.
00:05:49.538 --> 00:05:51.968
Uh, capture ideas, messages.
00:05:52.529 --> 00:05:54.779
Different things that I learned throughout the day.
00:05:54.779 --> 00:05:57.178
I capture those because I know I'm not going to remember them.
00:05:57.509 --> 00:05:59.428
So that way, the following morning.
00:06:00.059 --> 00:06:02.579
I could sit down in my quiet time.
00:06:03.358 --> 00:06:04.978
And choose one of those topics.
00:06:05.579 --> 00:06:07.798
And write about the thing that sticks to the soul.
00:06:09.238 --> 00:06:10.559
This daily practice.
00:06:11.608 --> 00:06:14.098
Made me a continuous learner because I got to come out.
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.199
With a new message every day.
00:06:16.738 --> 00:06:21.718
And lastly, and probably more importantly, The daily practice.
00:06:22.108 --> 00:06:23.399
Forced me to confront.
00:06:24.269 --> 00:06:26.879
Some longstanding issues that I had in my life.
00:06:27.689 --> 00:06:30.298
Obesity, lying to myself.
00:06:31.649 --> 00:06:32.668
Sobriety.
00:06:33.449 --> 00:06:35.879
Finances relationships.
00:06:36.329 --> 00:06:38.819
I mean, dude, I wasn't winning in anything.
00:06:39.149 --> 00:06:41.309
At that time, other than breathing.
00:06:42.059 --> 00:06:43.559
I wasn't really winning.
00:06:43.949 --> 00:06:45.238
In any other areas.
00:06:45.509 --> 00:06:50.939
And so the daily practice, not knowing man, but the daily practice.
00:06:52.238 --> 00:06:55.209
It was what opened me up because I had to confront it.
00:06:55.209 --> 00:06:58.509
I see, I didn't start the podcast.
00:06:59.168 --> 00:07:00.278
To get these benefits.
00:07:00.338 --> 00:07:02.798
I had no idea the benefits were even available.
00:07:03.309 --> 00:07:04.959
The thing that you work on.
00:07:06.129 --> 00:07:06.879
Works on you.
00:07:07.968 --> 00:07:11.389
And so, because I purposefully worked on it every single day.
00:07:12.379 --> 00:07:15.678
The practice masked as a podcast.
00:07:16.788 --> 00:07:18.048
Ended up working on me.
00:07:19.668 --> 00:07:22.548
And I was able to work within the five CS.
00:07:22.939 --> 00:07:24.439
The five CS came about.
00:07:25.579 --> 00:07:29.959
Just as I put in the reps, I didn't start the podcast with the five CS.
00:07:30.619 --> 00:07:32.358
I was actually just working on it.
00:07:32.358 --> 00:07:35.059
I was probably hundreds of episodes down the road.
00:07:35.658 --> 00:07:40.009
And literally I was running one day and I said, what does it take to be successful in sales?
00:07:41.369 --> 00:07:42.389
Communication.
00:07:43.288 --> 00:07:44.428
Curiosity.
00:07:44.999 --> 00:07:46.079
Creativity.
00:07:46.649 --> 00:07:47.848
Continuous learning.
00:07:48.869 --> 00:07:49.949
And confrontation.
00:07:51.238 --> 00:07:53.369
What's it take to be successful in life.
00:07:54.119 --> 00:07:56.879
Communication curiosity.
00:07:57.269 --> 00:07:58.348
Creativity.
00:07:58.769 --> 00:08:00.689
Continuous learning and action.
00:08:01.228 --> 00:08:02.968
At productive confrontation.
00:08:03.238 --> 00:08:03.689
Hm.
00:08:04.139 --> 00:08:05.728
That's how I came up with the sales life.
00:08:06.658 --> 00:08:09.538
And so I was able to work within these five CS.
00:08:09.538 --> 00:08:11.038
This became a working.
00:08:12.269 --> 00:08:15.778
Podcast, a working narrative in my life.
00:08:16.918 --> 00:08:19.889
And everything that I was working on.
00:08:20.338 --> 00:08:21.718
Worked on me.
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.978
And so I was able to take the skills as I was learning these things.
00:08:26.788 --> 00:08:28.588
And turn to society.
00:08:29.338 --> 00:08:30.749
And work on these.
00:08:31.528 --> 00:08:32.969
And apply these things.
00:08:33.778 --> 00:08:35.788
in my personal and professional life.
00:08:36.989 --> 00:08:38.249
And I'm in the best.
00:08:38.849 --> 00:08:44.788
Mental physical, spiritual, financial in anything ever relational.
00:08:45.599 --> 00:08:46.229
Shape.
00:08:46.589 --> 00:08:48.149
Anything else that ends in L Y.
00:08:48.778 --> 00:08:49.769
I'm in the best.
00:08:50.609 --> 00:08:51.869
Shape of my life.
00:08:53.339 --> 00:08:54.778
The thing that you work on.
00:08:55.198 --> 00:08:56.068
Works on you.
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.049
So here's my question to you today.
00:09:00.208 --> 00:09:01.259
What are you working on?
00:09:02.058 --> 00:09:04.739
or What's working on you.
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:18.328
And you may not have given this any thought, and this is why I want to bring you this message, because if you're not purposeful, In segmenting just a little bit of time every day for you is why I say you come first.
00:09:20.158 --> 00:09:25.019
Then, if you're not working on those things segmenting just a little bit of time, not a whole lot of time though.
00:09:25.288 --> 00:09:29.399
Consistency over intensity, but segmenting just a little bit of time.
00:09:30.149 --> 00:09:32.429
Preferably before your day starts.
00:09:33.269 --> 00:09:36.089
Then, if you're not purposefully working on something.
00:09:36.929 --> 00:09:41.068
Then everything else, you leave the, the barn doors open.
00:09:41.549 --> 00:09:46.859
For society, external forces, family situations.
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:55.349
Uh, finances, you let all those things work on you, but they're not working on you in a productive manner.
00:09:56.129 --> 00:09:58.019
they're sawing you down, man.
00:09:58.589 --> 00:10:02.318
And you're getting smaller and smaller and smaller in life.
00:10:02.948 --> 00:10:05.109
And you're shrinking from your potential.
00:10:05.889 --> 00:10:09.129
Because you're not purposefully working on something.
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:12.099
And so you're allowing all of those things.
00:10:12.938 --> 00:10:13.869
To work on you.
00:10:14.818 --> 00:10:16.318
So you gotta be only on offense.
00:10:16.798 --> 00:10:19.408
What will you choose to work on today?
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:21.479
That adds.
00:10:22.649 --> 00:10:24.149
I say either or both.
00:10:24.208 --> 00:10:25.048
I say both.
00:10:25.619 --> 00:10:26.339
That either.
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:28.528
Ads that both.
00:10:30.149 --> 00:10:32.668
Adds fuel to your soul.
00:10:32.729 --> 00:10:33.688
That's so important.
00:10:33.719 --> 00:10:36.869
Cause you got to have a fulfilled life fuel to your soul.
00:10:38.188 --> 00:10:40.078
And aligns you.
00:10:42.058 --> 00:10:43.288
With the best.
00:10:43.769 --> 00:10:45.808
Chances of success.
00:10:46.708 --> 00:10:48.269
Alignment is so key.
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:53.649
So if you take stock and where you are right now, You're out of alignment.
00:10:54.578 --> 00:10:59.979
In probably a few areas out of, I was out of way out of alignment, out of everything.
00:11:00.428 --> 00:11:02.349
Like you let go of the wheel in my life.
00:11:02.349 --> 00:11:06.308
It was like, It went off to the left and into the ditch quick.
00:11:06.938 --> 00:11:12.099
So I had to work on these things and bring myself remember this, the timeline of your own.
00:11:12.489 --> 00:11:13.028
Eventually.
00:11:13.058 --> 00:11:17.229
And ultimately, eventually these things, you just work on them every single day.
00:11:17.229 --> 00:11:21.788
They'll begin to line up and ultimately you'll be in position.
00:11:22.328 --> 00:11:23.259
To succeed.
00:11:25.089 --> 00:11:27.849
So maybe right now you're ignorant.
00:11:28.719 --> 00:11:31.778
But it's not that you're just ignorant because you're ignorant.
00:11:32.048 --> 00:11:38.769
You're ignorant because you've ignored, which is the root word of ignorant you've ignored.
00:11:39.458 --> 00:11:42.038
Things that you should have been working on.
00:11:42.859 --> 00:11:48.078
Because they're a little hard because they're a little dark because they're a little thick and heavy.
00:11:48.589 --> 00:11:51.078
You kind of try to stay away from those things.
00:11:51.288 --> 00:11:52.908
And so you began to choose.
00:11:53.328 --> 00:11:54.499
Which path to take.
00:11:54.499 --> 00:11:55.308
That's easier.
00:11:55.609 --> 00:11:59.538
When instead, you should just put a little time aside.
00:12:00.229 --> 00:12:01.879
And work on something.
00:12:02.899 --> 00:12:05.808
The thing that you work on, works on you.
00:12:06.139 --> 00:12:10.609
So if it's fitness work on it, I was just reading out a life force.
00:12:10.609 --> 00:12:11.688
Tony Robbins' book.
00:12:12.139 --> 00:12:13.068
Bought a long time ago.
00:12:13.099 --> 00:12:13.999
It's a big ass book.
00:12:13.999 --> 00:12:21.739
So I just take little chunks here and there, but you know, he had world famous trainer on there says load star 15 minutes a day.
00:12:22.038 --> 00:12:27.979
The most important things to start with every single day, you don't need a gym membership, squat, lunges.
00:12:28.308 --> 00:12:29.568
Pushups and planks.
00:12:30.048 --> 00:12:33.288
Just do a few rounds of those boom check the box.
00:12:33.589 --> 00:12:37.609
So if it's fitness work on it, And that fitness will work on you.
00:12:38.058 --> 00:12:40.129
If it's finances work on it, man.
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:42.078
Grab Kiyosaki.
00:12:42.078 --> 00:12:44.538
Robert Kiyosaki's book, rich dad, poor dad.
00:12:44.568 --> 00:12:46.609
Read that you don't have to be a dad.
00:12:47.208 --> 00:12:49.369
But it just starts familiarizing.
00:12:49.369 --> 00:12:50.778
If you find that you get kind of.
00:12:52.369 --> 00:12:53.208
on finances.
00:12:53.239 --> 00:12:56.808
Or as soon as you get an income tax return, you go blow it at the mall.
00:12:57.168 --> 00:12:58.458
Okay, you got to settle into that.
00:12:58.489 --> 00:13:01.879
You're not going to get ever get a million dollars because you're going to destroy yourself.
00:13:02.389 --> 00:13:07.519
So God is like putting the brakes on that says, look until you have some literacy about you.
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.938
I'm not going to bless you with his things because you can't handle it.
00:13:11.808 --> 00:13:12.349
All right.
00:13:13.188 --> 00:13:16.308
So if it's finances, if it's relationships do work on it.
00:13:17.418 --> 00:13:19.009
.
00:13:17.418 --> 00:13:19.009
vibe attracts your tribe.
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:26.749
And so if you're attracting bullshit ass people, it's because you're putting a bullshit ass vibe out there and you're.
00:13:27.408 --> 00:13:32.538
Moving around in those areas, probably because you're not being a continuous learner.
00:13:32.538 --> 00:13:39.168
You're watching fight videos instead of familiarizing yourself with something that you can learn, shit, start learning AI.
00:13:39.198 --> 00:13:40.188
If you're going to do anything.
00:13:41.359 --> 00:13:44.089
Knowledge, speaking of work on it.
00:13:44.749 --> 00:13:48.379
I preach about the random reading every single day, 15 minutes.
00:13:48.379 --> 00:13:50.599
You don't have to read a book from soup to nuts, man.
00:13:50.899 --> 00:13:53.839
Just grab, pull a book off the shelf.
00:13:54.139 --> 00:13:55.099
Come on over, man.
00:13:55.099 --> 00:13:56.568
Grab one of them off my shelf.
00:13:56.928 --> 00:13:58.219
Take 15 minutes.
00:13:58.249 --> 00:13:59.479
Read that one chapter.
00:13:59.509 --> 00:14:04.788
If you can get through the chapter at the end of 15 minutes, if you only got a few pages in cool.
00:14:05.058 --> 00:14:13.249
The thing that you work on, works on you, and you're going to find, you're going to read something or share something, or just familiarize yourself with something.
00:14:13.249 --> 00:14:15.288
And you're going to step outside these doors.
00:14:16.038 --> 00:14:20.928
And the thing that you just worked on the universe has a way of poof.
00:14:21.649 --> 00:14:23.149
Bringing that right there in front of you.
00:14:23.149 --> 00:14:24.139
Like, holy shit.
00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:25.428
I just wrote about this.
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:27.139
I just read about this.
00:14:28.788 --> 00:14:29.428
It's a God-wink.
00:14:30.918 --> 00:14:33.349
Creativity I happened to deliver a podcast.
00:14:33.379 --> 00:14:35.308
I don't know how you would like to express your art.
00:14:35.339 --> 00:14:36.928
Everybody's talented in something.
00:14:36.928 --> 00:14:44.609
If it's woodworking, if it's working on old cars, if it's spray painting graffiti on the side of a bridge, I don't give a shit.
00:14:44.818 --> 00:14:50.519
Just express yourself, man, because that is part of the creativity.
00:14:50.548 --> 00:14:55.408
I'm not paying your ticket for painting on the side of union Pacific rail cars.
00:14:55.649 --> 00:14:56.578
I'm not doing that.
00:14:56.999 --> 00:14:58.469
So I'm not bailing you out.
00:14:58.708 --> 00:15:01.438
So don't call me, but if that's what you need to do.
00:15:02.158 --> 00:15:03.178
By all means.
00:15:03.749 --> 00:15:04.769
Go ahead and do it.
00:15:05.749 --> 00:15:07.938
Consistency over intensity.
00:15:08.119 --> 00:15:09.798
So here's the thing, man.
00:15:09.948 --> 00:15:11.479
Don't do something.
00:15:12.049 --> 00:15:20.149
In exchange for a hard and fast result, but I don't do this...-no, Just work on something.
00:15:20.479 --> 00:15:21.438
Relax.
00:15:22.219 --> 00:15:23.779
The thing that you work on.
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:25.759
Works on you.
00:15:26.389 --> 00:15:35.389
And dude, I bring you this message because yes, I work on the podcast, but in my professional life in sales, I realized.
00:15:35.958 --> 00:15:37.938
I was really kind of going around.
00:15:38.359 --> 00:15:40.369
Reacting to a bunch of bullshit.
00:15:40.698 --> 00:15:45.979
And so I was letting the external pressures come at me and dude, I'm like hot off the press.
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:47.809
I'm talking like yesterday.
00:15:48.349 --> 00:15:50.779
I was letting all the external pressures.
00:15:51.229 --> 00:15:52.609
Dictate what I do.
00:15:53.119 --> 00:15:55.489
And so I got called to the carpet, to the carpet.
00:15:55.789 --> 00:15:57.679
And he's like, bro, what's going on with you?
00:15:57.828 --> 00:15:59.359
Like you're like stressed out.
00:16:00.019 --> 00:16:01.279
You're skipping stuff.
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:05.179
You live this, isn't your normal, you, the thing that you work on works on.
00:16:05.179 --> 00:16:07.788
You see, I wasn't on the all fence.
00:16:08.239 --> 00:16:10.788
I wasn't coming in, working on something.
00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:12.590
And because of that.
00:16:12.979 --> 00:16:15.409
Either I work on it or it's going to work on me.
00:16:15.649 --> 00:16:22.729
So if I don't put the rudder in the, in the, in the water and say, this is my steering, this is where I'm going.
00:16:23.298 --> 00:16:25.458
Then I'm just a rudderless ship.
00:16:25.938 --> 00:16:28.370
And the waves and the current.
00:16:29.538 --> 00:16:31.340
The winds of life.
00:16:31.779 --> 00:16:34.458
are going to fucking propel me all over the place.
00:16:34.548 --> 00:16:36.769
No wonder I'll bang the shores.
00:16:36.979 --> 00:16:38.808
No wonder I'll get shipwreck.
00:16:39.019 --> 00:16:40.759
That's the thing for you.
00:16:41.419 --> 00:16:43.278
Put that rudder into in the water.
00:16:43.698 --> 00:16:45.379
The thing that you work on.
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:51.438
Works on you, you do your part, you commit to that just a little bit, every single day.
00:16:52.669 --> 00:16:53.869
And watch it work on you.
00:16:54.318 --> 00:16:54.708
All right.
00:16:54.769 --> 00:16:55.369
Let's get out of here.
00:16:55.429 --> 00:16:56.719
Thanks for sharing today's episode.
00:16:56.719 --> 00:16:59.298
Share this episode with one person a day.
00:16:59.629 --> 00:17:00.379
One person.
00:17:00.739 --> 00:17:01.609
All right, keep it simple.
00:17:01.609 --> 00:17:02.208
Keep it moving.
00:17:02.208 --> 00:17:03.139
Never settle.
00:17:03.619 --> 00:17:04.219
Stay tough.
00:17:04.250 --> 00:17:04.699
Let's get it.
