00:00:00.419 --> 00:00:00.780
All right.
00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:01.439
3, 2, 1.
00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:01.949
Let's get it.
00:00:01.949 --> 00:00:03.750
Welcome to today's episode.
00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:13.169
I'm your host Marsh Buice and today we're going to dive into a concept that has the power to transform your approach to success and fulfillment.
00:00:13.808 --> 00:00:20.408
There's a term that I stole from Jimmy Carr that I absolutely love is called process-driven ambition.
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:22.419
Now you may be wondering.
00:00:22.778 --> 00:00:24.338
What does that even mean?
00:00:24.548 --> 00:00:26.289
And so I want to break it down.
00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:30.939
To what it means to me and how it applies to you as well.
00:00:31.509 --> 00:00:35.378
So if your outcome driven, think about this, if your outcome driven.
00:00:36.579 --> 00:00:38.320
Which is what most people are.
00:00:39.219 --> 00:00:43.088
Your happiness hinges on achieving specific goals.
00:00:43.749 --> 00:00:45.069
But what happens?
00:00:45.429 --> 00:00:46.899
If you don't reach those goals.
00:00:47.619 --> 00:00:48.668
What happens?
00:00:49.509 --> 00:00:51.369
If they take longer than expected.
00:00:51.969 --> 00:00:54.668
And even if you did achieve the goal.
00:00:55.609 --> 00:00:58.609
Sometimes you get to the summit and you realize.
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.698
It's not what it was all cracked up to be.
00:01:02.539 --> 00:01:06.259
And you realize the fulfillment, the enjoyment.
00:01:07.308 --> 00:01:09.259
Was in the chase, not the trophy.
00:01:10.248 --> 00:01:12.379
This is what I like about process-driven.
00:01:12.709 --> 00:01:13.459
Ambition.
00:01:13.849 --> 00:01:14.569
It's different.
00:01:15.349 --> 00:01:20.088
It means that you can be ambitious and push yourself.
00:01:21.228 --> 00:01:28.188
While also being flexible in your thoughts and your actions and your processes and your timeline.
00:01:28.759 --> 00:01:31.968
You don't worry about the timeline until as your timeframe.
00:01:32.968 --> 00:01:36.989
As a legendary 49ers coach, bill Walsh wrote a whole book about it.
00:01:38.668 --> 00:01:40.259
The score takes care of itself.
00:01:40.888 --> 00:01:44.549
So when you can focus on the process, you let the outcome.
00:01:45.058 --> 00:01:46.289
Unfold naturally.
00:01:46.858 --> 00:01:49.468
The outcome is going to be what the outcome is.
00:01:49.709 --> 00:01:49.948
Like.
00:01:49.948 --> 00:01:52.379
I tell my salespeople, I can't.
00:01:53.009 --> 00:01:57.838
Control if a customer decides to buy or not, but I can heavily influence it.
00:01:58.228 --> 00:01:59.519
And it's based on.
00:02:00.328 --> 00:02:01.769
Process-driven ambition.
00:02:02.188 --> 00:02:04.078
See, this is very freeing.
00:02:04.078 --> 00:02:09.629
It's very liberating because process driven ambition shifts your focus.
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.000
From the finite goal.
00:02:13.229 --> 00:02:14.399
To an infinite journey.
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:15.778
It never ends.
00:02:16.019 --> 00:02:17.338
It's constantly evolving.
00:02:18.598 --> 00:02:21.329
So imagine waking up every single day.
00:02:21.870 --> 00:02:23.879
Driven by your process.
00:02:24.899 --> 00:02:26.519
Rather than a specific goal.
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.740
The goal gives you the direction.
00:02:29.310 --> 00:02:30.838
But the process.
00:02:32.338 --> 00:02:33.449
Is your daily journey.
00:02:34.079 --> 00:02:38.579
It eliminates any sort of self negotiation and negative narratives.
00:02:38.968 --> 00:02:44.250
And because you're focused on the next step because you're focused on the next action.
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.139
You just check the box and keep going.
00:02:48.799 --> 00:02:50.688
So let me give you an example for my own life.
00:02:50.739 --> 00:02:52.179
When I first got into sales.
00:02:52.209 --> 00:02:55.028
Uh, 26 going on 27 years ago.
00:02:55.838 --> 00:02:56.829
It doesn't seem that long ago.
00:02:57.909 --> 00:02:59.979
You realize I've devoted half my life.
00:03:00.549 --> 00:03:06.699
To the profession of sales I got in sales man, when I was 25, B 51 coming up, man.
00:03:06.699 --> 00:03:09.039
It's like, whoa, what happened to the time?
00:03:09.588 --> 00:03:15.188
But anyway, when I first got into sales, I was taught to follow a specific process.
00:03:15.489 --> 00:03:16.989
Meet and greet the customer.
00:03:17.169 --> 00:03:23.139
Find common ground with them, qualify them inventory walk demo the vehicle, write it up.
00:03:23.169 --> 00:03:24.848
Look at the trade, deliver the vehicle.
00:03:24.908 --> 00:03:25.688
Follow up.
00:03:26.169 --> 00:03:27.878
And see the process.
00:03:27.908 --> 00:03:30.459
We had the know that thing backwards and forwards.
00:03:31.149 --> 00:03:35.079
Which is great because it had to be just a habit.
00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:36.788
Second nature.
00:03:37.628 --> 00:03:42.158
And so that process became my guide and it kept me on track.
00:03:42.669 --> 00:03:43.688
Regardless.
00:03:44.408 --> 00:03:54.239
Of the emotions or the outcome of each sale, because when they set that process up, He said, look, sometimes you're going to have a hot hand going and you're going to do well.
00:03:54.389 --> 00:03:57.628
But what about the times when nothing is going in your favor?
00:03:57.959 --> 00:04:00.959
This is why working a process.
00:04:01.229 --> 00:04:03.449
The numbers will work themselves out.
00:04:04.438 --> 00:04:09.479
The numbers always take care of themselves, but what happens is, is people pull back.
00:04:09.929 --> 00:04:13.829
On the numbers on the execution, on the effort.
00:04:14.769 --> 00:04:17.199
In hopes that it'll just somehow fix itself.
00:04:17.228 --> 00:04:19.658
No, you have to play it all the way through.
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.678
But if you stick to a process, Of going through.
00:04:25.209 --> 00:04:27.369
These bullet points through your day.
00:04:28.689 --> 00:04:29.918
It's going to work itself out.
00:04:29.949 --> 00:04:31.059
It always does.
00:04:32.168 --> 00:04:39.488
So see the process that I followed in sales is the same sort of concept that applies to everything in your life.
00:04:40.028 --> 00:04:42.788
Your personal life, your professional life.
00:04:43.059 --> 00:04:44.319
Your fitness goals.
00:04:44.649 --> 00:04:46.389
Sticking to a process.
00:04:47.108 --> 00:04:49.298
Is what's going to bring you fulfillment.
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.499
You're not going to be happy all the time, but will you be fulfilled?
00:04:53.709 --> 00:04:58.119
And let me tell you how you're going to be fulfilled because you're going to be sticking to a process.
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.928
And just working this every single day.
00:05:03.338 --> 00:05:05.199
You're going to make incremental progress.
00:05:05.468 --> 00:05:07.718
Sometimes it's 1% progress.
00:05:08.048 --> 00:05:10.478
Other days it's 12% progress.
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.619
Sometimes you don't see the physical progress, but you have the mental progress.
00:05:15.918 --> 00:05:17.869
So things are connecting inside.
00:05:17.869 --> 00:05:19.899
Even though today, it looks like a loss.
00:05:20.209 --> 00:05:23.449
There are things that are being rewired and reconnected.
00:05:24.228 --> 00:05:28.459
And grant you the experience and the knowledge and the skillset.
00:05:28.999 --> 00:05:30.288
That sets you up.
00:05:30.918 --> 00:05:34.189
To incrementally physically when in the future.
00:05:34.338 --> 00:05:37.788
But sometimes man, you take a physical L.
00:05:38.598 --> 00:05:39.678
But a mental win.
00:05:40.249 --> 00:05:41.418
And you got to understand that.
00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:45.548
If you think about the frustration that you have in your life.
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.778
I'm not frustrated because of the things that I do.
00:05:50.559 --> 00:05:53.769
I'm frustrated about the things that I didn't get around to.
00:05:54.699 --> 00:05:55.778
See, that's the thing.
00:05:56.259 --> 00:06:01.718
And so I would rather be pushed hard and work in this process every single day.
00:06:02.379 --> 00:06:04.959
Then the sit here and just kind of float along.
00:06:05.978 --> 00:06:09.009
Figuring out, trying to do the best I can.
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:10.059
No.
00:06:10.718 --> 00:06:13.329
You just instill that process driven.
00:06:13.928 --> 00:06:14.649
Ambition.
00:06:15.459 --> 00:06:16.809
So, how do you do this?
00:06:17.288 --> 00:06:18.579
How do you implement?
00:06:19.178 --> 00:06:21.579
Process-driven ambition into your life.
00:06:22.358 --> 00:06:23.259
Glad you asked.
00:06:24.459 --> 00:06:26.439
Let me give you some foundational steps.
00:06:26.949 --> 00:06:28.778
Number one, you got to get adequate sleep.
00:06:29.418 --> 00:06:30.889
everybody's needs is different.
00:06:31.038 --> 00:06:34.608
So I'm not going to sit here and say, this is how many hours that you need.
00:06:34.668 --> 00:06:36.288
You just listen to your body.
00:06:36.588 --> 00:06:39.858
Sometimes man, you're not going to get around to everything.
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.249
And so it's going to be a majority vote.
00:06:43.848 --> 00:06:45.139
That you do most of it.
00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:46.338
Most of the time.
00:06:47.569 --> 00:06:49.278
And other times you listen to your body.
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:50.928
And you just get some rest.
00:06:50.928 --> 00:06:52.788
So get adequate sleep, man.
00:06:54.108 --> 00:06:54.769
Number two.
00:06:55.428 --> 00:06:56.658
Set a wake up time.
00:06:57.048 --> 00:06:59.598
Having a set wake up time every single day.
00:06:59.629 --> 00:07:02.899
Even if you have poor sleep or short sleep.
00:07:03.559 --> 00:07:05.629
This sets your circadian rhythm.
00:07:05.928 --> 00:07:07.728
That your internal time clock.
00:07:08.209 --> 00:07:10.668
And so it'll get that thing back on track.
00:07:10.668 --> 00:07:11.959
You can't catch up.
00:07:12.528 --> 00:07:13.459
On sleep.
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:14.988
The scientists say that.
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:22.189
So it feels like you're rested, but your internal clock is all jacked up because you're all over the place.
00:07:22.608 --> 00:07:24.559
So having a set, wake up time.
00:07:25.098 --> 00:07:29.899
Is going to set that, so that way you don't get yanked around by your emotions.
00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:33.829
And you don't get yanked around based on whatever's going on for the day.
00:07:34.189 --> 00:07:37.399
So you budget your time to take care of yourself.
00:07:37.428 --> 00:07:43.309
You come first, you put yourself first, every single day, then the world gets the best version.
00:07:43.548 --> 00:07:45.288
The best representation of you.
00:07:45.858 --> 00:07:46.668
Number three.
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.658
write Empty your mind to clarify your thoughts.
00:07:50.689 --> 00:07:51.528
And I will challenge you.
00:07:51.528 --> 00:07:52.908
Just write one page.
00:07:53.298 --> 00:07:56.119
You can capture the thoughts from yesterday.
00:07:56.119 --> 00:07:57.769
What, what stood out.
00:07:57.798 --> 00:08:01.819
You can write that you can write gratitude, you can write word for word from a book.
00:08:01.819 --> 00:08:12.699
You can record your thoughts in your voice memo app, or passages that you saw in a book, or saw it on a video and how, what it means to you, how it relates to you write about that.
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:17.379
But what's important is, is that you don't get all clogged up in the mind and that you empty.
00:08:17.408 --> 00:08:20.528
Empty those thoughts every single day on paper.
00:08:20.949 --> 00:08:23.809
When you do this, you think, what's the use in this.
00:08:24.649 --> 00:08:25.968
If you do this.
00:08:26.329 --> 00:08:28.309
For 90 days, I'm telling you.
00:08:29.069 --> 00:08:30.119
Things are going to change for you.
00:08:30.298 --> 00:08:32.668
Your narrative is going to begin to change.
00:08:32.849 --> 00:08:34.139
You're going to think clearer.
00:08:34.229 --> 00:08:35.548
You're going to think quicker.
00:08:35.668 --> 00:08:37.229
You're going to be more concise.
00:08:37.259 --> 00:08:38.879
You're going to communicate better.
00:08:39.389 --> 00:08:41.278
So many intangibles to that.
00:08:41.778 --> 00:08:46.379
Number 4 Set 15, 20 minutes aside every single day.
00:08:46.979 --> 00:08:52.379
For some random reading I like to take a different book every single day lately I've been.
00:08:53.129 --> 00:08:56.609
Uh, been jamming on James Clear's atomic habits.
00:08:56.668 --> 00:08:58.019
Read it several times.
00:08:58.469 --> 00:09:05.129
But normally I just go to another book the next day, but I've just been so intrigued and I'm in a different season of my life.
00:09:05.458 --> 00:09:08.099
That a lot of the stuff that I've read before, I totally forgot.
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:13.288
And now I'm just picking these things back up and saying, oh, I'm missing this.
00:09:14.849 --> 00:09:18.958
Number fiveShare.
00:09:16.798 --> 00:09:18.958
Everybody's an expert at something.
00:09:19.168 --> 00:09:22.259
Share your knowledge, contribute to society.
00:09:22.798 --> 00:09:23.548
Teaching.
00:09:24.239 --> 00:09:25.499
Reinforces the learning.
00:09:25.499 --> 00:09:27.418
So people get to learn from you.
00:09:28.168 --> 00:09:32.038
But while you teach it, you learn it even better and deeper.
00:09:32.038 --> 00:09:33.119
And a lot of times the.
00:09:33.509 --> 00:09:35.009
The things that you teach.
00:09:35.609 --> 00:09:37.048
People leave a comment.
00:09:37.438 --> 00:09:38.668
Our contribute.
00:09:39.328 --> 00:09:41.519
And now you can add that.
00:09:42.629 --> 00:09:46.288
To your learning to your knowledge and they end up teaching you.
00:09:46.708 --> 00:09:51.509
To great benefit, but it'll never happen if you don't put it out there first.
00:09:51.719 --> 00:09:54.119
The universe is, uh, you first.
00:09:54.119 --> 00:09:54.899
Society.
00:09:55.438 --> 00:09:57.418
She says, you go for anything that you want.
00:09:57.418 --> 00:09:58.168
You go first.
00:09:58.229 --> 00:09:59.458
I'm not going to bring it to you.
00:09:59.729 --> 00:10:01.048
I'm not going to serve it up.
00:10:01.318 --> 00:10:02.548
But I'll reveal it to you.
00:10:02.788 --> 00:10:06.808
I'll show you how to get there, but I'm going to test your commitment.
00:10:07.109 --> 00:10:08.609
I'm gonna make you put in the work.
00:10:09.778 --> 00:10:10.948
Number number?
00:10:10.948 --> 00:10:11.458
What are we on?
00:10:11.489 --> 00:10:12.328
Number six.
00:10:12.818 --> 00:10:15.399
Designed to align plan your day.
00:10:16.058 --> 00:10:17.558
From working out.
00:10:17.859 --> 00:10:21.908
To eating to what you're going to wear to where you're heading in life.
00:10:22.359 --> 00:10:24.908
Set the intention episode 8 41.
00:10:24.908 --> 00:10:26.318
I was just talking about that.
00:10:26.678 --> 00:10:28.239
Is the intention.
00:10:28.269 --> 00:10:31.749
What is the intention that you put in, in everything that you do?
00:10:31.749 --> 00:10:35.558
And I wrote that because I realized man, some days.
00:10:35.918 --> 00:10:38.619
Like in my personal life, I have an intention.
00:10:39.548 --> 00:10:44.859
But sometimes man, when I get to work, I just cause it's sales and it seems so unscripted.
00:10:45.788 --> 00:10:47.979
That I just lost the intention.
00:10:47.979 --> 00:10:49.479
So I'm just kind of floating around.
00:10:49.509 --> 00:10:51.609
I was spending so much extra energy.
00:10:52.339 --> 00:10:56.139
on Things that didn't bring back to my impact.
00:10:56.259 --> 00:10:58.688
And I was getting to the end of the day more frustrated.
00:10:59.229 --> 00:11:02.019
Because I wasn't setting the intention.
00:11:02.678 --> 00:11:05.889
So that recalibrates me see sharing that.
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.068
Actually benefited me.
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.989
Because I can learn that deeper.
00:11:12.288 --> 00:11:17.239
So designed to align, make sure that you have an intention in everything that you do.
00:11:18.528 --> 00:11:21.739
When you follow our process, you can focus on the five CS.
00:11:22.188 --> 00:11:23.269
The five C's.
00:11:23.629 --> 00:11:24.948
Our communication.
00:11:25.369 --> 00:11:27.589
This is what's going to keep you RFA ready for anything.
00:11:27.798 --> 00:11:29.688
This is how you'll handle the adversity.
00:11:29.928 --> 00:11:32.208
Embrace uncertainty and never settle again.
00:11:32.239 --> 00:11:33.438
Number one, communicate.
00:11:33.828 --> 00:11:36.229
Communicate effectively with yourself.
00:11:36.859 --> 00:11:41.509
And others that are aligned with your path, the other ones.
00:11:42.349 --> 00:11:43.548
The bullshit people.
00:11:44.599 --> 00:11:45.499
Be unavailable.
00:11:46.068 --> 00:11:47.119
Curiosity.
00:11:48.048 --> 00:11:51.619
Ask questions instead of making statements all day long.
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:53.749
How can you use this?
00:11:53.928 --> 00:11:54.948
What does this mean?
00:11:55.578 --> 00:11:56.839
Hey, let me ask you a question.
00:11:57.379 --> 00:11:59.538
Just you'd be amazed.
00:12:01.548 --> 00:12:07.158
If you would suspend what you think, you know, And go chase what you don't know.
00:12:07.458 --> 00:12:10.308
There's so much more out there that we don't know than we do know.
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:11.958
Number three creativity.
00:12:12.688 --> 00:12:13.828
Be resourceful.
00:12:13.859 --> 00:12:19.219
When you lack resources, 90% of population sit around bitching about what they don't have.
00:12:20.359 --> 00:12:21.438
10 percenters.
00:12:21.708 --> 00:12:22.249
It's you.
00:12:22.908 --> 00:12:24.048
You get resourceful.
00:12:24.739 --> 00:12:25.818
Lack is leverage.
00:12:25.849 --> 00:12:28.609
So when you don't have it, You use what you got.
00:12:29.418 --> 00:12:30.528
Continuous learning.
00:12:32.119 --> 00:12:39.589
This is part of the 15 minutes of random reading every single day, man, you need to be learning something different that would probably give you something to write about.
00:12:39.979 --> 00:12:40.969
What did you learn today?
00:12:40.969 --> 00:12:42.948
The wilt, what I learned today?
00:12:43.999 --> 00:12:47.389
Uh, number five productive confrontation, addressing issues.
00:12:47.389 --> 00:12:48.198
Head on.
00:12:48.619 --> 00:12:51.078
Without attaching a negative narrative to it.
00:12:52.009 --> 00:12:53.028
So, let me ask you this.
00:12:53.028 --> 00:12:55.009
As we wrap this up, what frustrates you?
00:12:55.578 --> 00:12:58.729
What do you not accomplishing right now that you wish you were.
00:12:59.509 --> 00:13:02.599
Chances are you're too focused on the goal.
00:13:02.958 --> 00:13:04.129
The goals are important.
00:13:04.129 --> 00:13:04.908
Don't get me wrong.
00:13:05.418 --> 00:13:07.308
The goal provides the direction.
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:08.839
But the system.
00:13:09.198 --> 00:13:12.379
A process of repeated simple actions every day.
00:13:13.158 --> 00:13:15.889
That's how you're going to get there when you get there.
00:13:16.308 --> 00:13:17.239
What you do.
00:13:17.599 --> 00:13:18.438
Is up to you.
00:13:18.798 --> 00:13:19.908
When you get there.
00:13:20.119 --> 00:13:21.048
It's not up to you.
00:13:21.438 --> 00:13:26.899
You control the, what you let the universe handle the when so you've got to align your life.
00:13:27.528 --> 00:13:29.208
With these foundational principles.
00:13:29.808 --> 00:13:32.448
And you're going to find that the outcome's going to take care of itself.
00:13:33.458 --> 00:13:35.139
Just stay focused on the process.
00:13:35.889 --> 00:13:36.308
All right.
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.208
Let's get out of here.

Until next time, keep it simple.
00:13:48.999 --> 00:13:49.658
Keep it moving.
00:13:49.658 --> 00:13:50.288
Never settle.
00:13:50.288 --> 00:13:51.389
Stay tough peace.
00:00:00.419 --> 00:00:00.780
All right.
00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:01.439
3, 2, 1.
00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:01.949
Let's get it.
00:00:01.949 --> 00:00:03.750
Welcome to today's episode.
00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:13.169
I'm your host Marsh Buice and today we're going to dive into a concept that has the power to transform your approach to success and fulfillment.
00:00:13.808 --> 00:00:20.408
There's a term that I stole from Jimmy Carr that I absolutely love is called process-driven ambition.
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:22.419
Now you may be wondering.
00:00:22.778 --> 00:00:24.338
What does that even mean?
00:00:24.548 --> 00:00:26.289
And so I want to break it down.
00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:30.939
To what it means to me and how it applies to you as well.
00:00:31.509 --> 00:00:35.378
So if your outcome driven, think about this, if your outcome driven.
00:00:36.579 --> 00:00:38.320
Which is what most people are.
00:00:39.219 --> 00:00:43.088
Your happiness hinges on achieving specific goals.
00:00:43.749 --> 00:00:45.069
But what happens?
00:00:45.429 --> 00:00:46.899
If you don't reach those goals.
00:00:47.619 --> 00:00:48.668
What happens?
00:00:49.509 --> 00:00:51.369
If they take longer than expected.
00:00:51.969 --> 00:00:54.668
And even if you did achieve the goal.
00:00:55.609 --> 00:00:58.609
Sometimes you get to the summit and you realize.
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.698
It's not what it was all cracked up to be.
00:01:02.539 --> 00:01:06.259
And you realize the fulfillment, the enjoyment.
00:01:07.308 --> 00:01:09.259
Was in the chase, not the trophy.
00:01:10.248 --> 00:01:12.379
This is what I like about process-driven.
00:01:12.709 --> 00:01:13.459
Ambition.
00:01:13.849 --> 00:01:14.569
It's different.
00:01:15.349 --> 00:01:20.088
It means that you can be ambitious and push yourself.
00:01:21.228 --> 00:01:28.188
While also being flexible in your thoughts and your actions and your processes and your timeline.
00:01:28.759 --> 00:01:31.968
You don't worry about the timeline until as your timeframe.
00:01:32.968 --> 00:01:36.989
As a legendary 49ers coach, bill Walsh wrote a whole book about it.
00:01:38.668 --> 00:01:40.259
The score takes care of itself.
00:01:40.888 --> 00:01:44.549
So when you can focus on the process, you let the outcome.
00:01:45.058 --> 00:01:46.289
Unfold naturally.
00:01:46.858 --> 00:01:49.468
The outcome is going to be what the outcome is.
00:01:49.709 --> 00:01:49.948
Like.
00:01:49.948 --> 00:01:52.379
I tell my salespeople, I can't.
00:01:53.009 --> 00:01:57.838
Control if a customer decides to buy or not, but I can heavily influence it.
00:01:58.228 --> 00:01:59.519
And it's based on.
00:02:00.328 --> 00:02:01.769
Process-driven ambition.
00:02:02.188 --> 00:02:04.078
See, this is very freeing.
00:02:04.078 --> 00:02:09.629
It's very liberating because process driven ambition shifts your focus.
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.000
From the finite goal.
00:02:13.229 --> 00:02:14.399
To an infinite journey.
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:15.778
It never ends.
00:02:16.019 --> 00:02:17.338
It's constantly evolving.
00:02:18.598 --> 00:02:21.329
So imagine waking up every single day.
00:02:21.870 --> 00:02:23.879
Driven by your process.
00:02:24.899 --> 00:02:26.519
Rather than a specific goal.
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.740
The goal gives you the direction.
00:02:29.310 --> 00:02:30.838
But the process.
00:02:32.338 --> 00:02:33.449
Is your daily journey.
00:02:34.079 --> 00:02:38.579
It eliminates any sort of self negotiation and negative narratives.
00:02:38.968 --> 00:02:44.250
And because you're focused on the next step because you're focused on the next action.
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.139
You just check the box and keep going.
00:02:48.799 --> 00:02:50.688
So let me give you an example for my own life.
00:02:50.739 --> 00:02:52.179
When I first got into sales.
00:02:52.209 --> 00:02:55.028
Uh, 26 going on 27 years ago.
00:02:55.838 --> 00:02:56.829
It doesn't seem that long ago.
00:02:57.909 --> 00:02:59.979
You realize I've devoted half my life.
00:03:00.549 --> 00:03:06.699
To the profession of sales I got in sales man, when I was 25, B 51 coming up, man.
00:03:06.699 --> 00:03:09.039
It's like, whoa, what happened to the time?
00:03:09.588 --> 00:03:15.188
But anyway, when I first got into sales, I was taught to follow a specific process.
00:03:15.489 --> 00:03:16.989
Meet and greet the customer.
00:03:17.169 --> 00:03:23.139
Find common ground with them, qualify them inventory walk demo the vehicle, write it up.
00:03:23.169 --> 00:03:24.848
Look at the trade, deliver the vehicle.
00:03:24.908 --> 00:03:25.688
Follow up.
00:03:26.169 --> 00:03:27.878
And see the process.
00:03:27.908 --> 00:03:30.459
We had the know that thing backwards and forwards.
00:03:31.149 --> 00:03:35.079
Which is great because it had to be just a habit.
00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:36.788
Second nature.
00:03:37.628 --> 00:03:42.158
And so that process became my guide and it kept me on track.
00:03:42.669 --> 00:03:43.688
Regardless.
00:03:44.408 --> 00:03:54.239
Of the emotions or the outcome of each sale, because when they set that process up, He said, look, sometimes you're going to have a hot hand going and you're going to do well.
00:03:54.389 --> 00:03:57.628
But what about the times when nothing is going in your favor?
00:03:57.959 --> 00:04:00.959
This is why working a process.
00:04:01.229 --> 00:04:03.449
The numbers will work themselves out.
00:04:04.438 --> 00:04:09.479
The numbers always take care of themselves, but what happens is, is people pull back.
00:04:09.929 --> 00:04:13.829
On the numbers on the execution, on the effort.
00:04:14.769 --> 00:04:17.199
In hopes that it'll just somehow fix itself.
00:04:17.228 --> 00:04:19.658
No, you have to play it all the way through.
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.678
But if you stick to a process, Of going through.
00:04:25.209 --> 00:04:27.369
These bullet points through your day.
00:04:28.689 --> 00:04:29.918
It's going to work itself out.
00:04:29.949 --> 00:04:31.059
It always does.
00:04:32.168 --> 00:04:39.488
So see the process that I followed in sales is the same sort of concept that applies to everything in your life.
00:04:40.028 --> 00:04:42.788
Your personal life, your professional life.
00:04:43.059 --> 00:04:44.319
Your fitness goals.
00:04:44.649 --> 00:04:46.389
Sticking to a process.
00:04:47.108 --> 00:04:49.298
Is what's going to bring you fulfillment.
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.499
You're not going to be happy all the time, but will you be fulfilled?
00:04:53.709 --> 00:04:58.119
And let me tell you how you're going to be fulfilled because you're going to be sticking to a process.
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.928
And just working this every single day.
00:05:03.338 --> 00:05:05.199
You're going to make incremental progress.
00:05:05.468 --> 00:05:07.718
Sometimes it's 1% progress.
00:05:08.048 --> 00:05:10.478
Other days it's 12% progress.
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.619
Sometimes you don't see the physical progress, but you have the mental progress.
00:05:15.918 --> 00:05:17.869
So things are connecting inside.
00:05:17.869 --> 00:05:19.899
Even though today, it looks like a loss.
00:05:20.209 --> 00:05:23.449
There are things that are being rewired and reconnected.
00:05:24.228 --> 00:05:28.459
And grant you the experience and the knowledge and the skillset.
00:05:28.999 --> 00:05:30.288
That sets you up.
00:05:30.918 --> 00:05:34.189
To incrementally physically when in the future.
00:05:34.338 --> 00:05:37.788
But sometimes man, you take a physical L.
00:05:38.598 --> 00:05:39.678
But a mental win.
00:05:40.249 --> 00:05:41.418
And you got to understand that.
00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:45.548
If you think about the frustration that you have in your life.
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.778
I'm not frustrated because of the things that I do.
00:05:50.559 --> 00:05:53.769
I'm frustrated about the things that I didn't get around to.
00:05:54.699 --> 00:05:55.778
See, that's the thing.
00:05:56.259 --> 00:06:01.718
And so I would rather be pushed hard and work in this process every single day.
00:06:02.379 --> 00:06:04.959
Then the sit here and just kind of float along.
00:06:05.978 --> 00:06:09.009
Figuring out, trying to do the best I can.
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:10.059
No.
00:06:10.718 --> 00:06:13.329
You just instill that process driven.
00:06:13.928 --> 00:06:14.649
Ambition.
00:06:15.459 --> 00:06:16.809
So, how do you do this?
00:06:17.288 --> 00:06:18.579
How do you implement?
00:06:19.178 --> 00:06:21.579
Process-driven ambition into your life.
00:06:22.358 --> 00:06:23.259
Glad you asked.
00:06:24.459 --> 00:06:26.439
Let me give you some foundational steps.
00:06:26.949 --> 00:06:28.778
Number one, you got to get adequate sleep.
00:06:29.418 --> 00:06:30.889
everybody's needs is different.
00:06:31.038 --> 00:06:34.608
So I'm not going to sit here and say, this is how many hours that you need.
00:06:34.668 --> 00:06:36.288
You just listen to your body.
00:06:36.588 --> 00:06:39.858
Sometimes man, you're not going to get around to everything.
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.249
And so it's going to be a majority vote.
00:06:43.848 --> 00:06:45.139
That you do most of it.
00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:46.338
Most of the time.
00:06:47.569 --> 00:06:49.278
And other times you listen to your body.
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:50.928
And you just get some rest.
00:06:50.928 --> 00:06:52.788
So get adequate sleep, man.
00:06:54.108 --> 00:06:54.769
Number two.
00:06:55.428 --> 00:06:56.658
Set a wake up time.
00:06:57.048 --> 00:06:59.598
Having a set wake up time every single day.
00:06:59.629 --> 00:07:02.899
Even if you have poor sleep or short sleep.
00:07:03.559 --> 00:07:05.629
This sets your circadian rhythm.
00:07:05.928 --> 00:07:07.728
That your internal time clock.
00:07:08.209 --> 00:07:10.668
And so it'll get that thing back on track.
00:07:10.668 --> 00:07:11.959
You can't catch up.
00:07:12.528 --> 00:07:13.459
On sleep.
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:14.988
The scientists say that.
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:22.189
So it feels like you're rested, but your internal clock is all jacked up because you're all over the place.
00:07:22.608 --> 00:07:24.559
So having a set, wake up time.
00:07:25.098 --> 00:07:29.899
Is going to set that, so that way you don't get yanked around by your emotions.
00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:33.829
And you don't get yanked around based on whatever's going on for the day.
00:07:34.189 --> 00:07:37.399
So you budget your time to take care of yourself.
00:07:37.428 --> 00:07:43.309
You come first, you put yourself first, every single day, then the world gets the best version.
00:07:43.548 --> 00:07:45.288
The best representation of you.
00:07:45.858 --> 00:07:46.668
Number three.
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.658
write Empty your mind to clarify your thoughts.
00:07:50.689 --> 00:07:51.528
And I will challenge you.
00:07:51.528 --> 00:07:52.908
Just write one page.
00:07:53.298 --> 00:07:56.119
You can capture the thoughts from yesterday.
00:07:56.119 --> 00:07:57.769
What, what stood out.
00:07:57.798 --> 00:08:01.819
You can write that you can write gratitude, you can write word for word from a book.
00:08:01.819 --> 00:08:12.699
You can record your thoughts in your voice memo app, or passages that you saw in a book, or saw it on a video and how, what it means to you, how it relates to you write about that.
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:17.379
But what's important is, is that you don't get all clogged up in the mind and that you empty.
00:08:17.408 --> 00:08:20.528
Empty those thoughts every single day on paper.
00:08:20.949 --> 00:08:23.809
When you do this, you think, what's the use in this.
00:08:24.649 --> 00:08:25.968
If you do this.
00:08:26.329 --> 00:08:28.309
For 90 days, I'm telling you.
00:08:29.069 --> 00:08:30.119
Things are going to change for you.
00:08:30.298 --> 00:08:32.668
Your narrative is going to begin to change.
00:08:32.849 --> 00:08:34.139
You're going to think clearer.
00:08:34.229 --> 00:08:35.548
You're going to think quicker.
00:08:35.668 --> 00:08:37.229
You're going to be more concise.
00:08:37.259 --> 00:08:38.879
You're going to communicate better.
00:08:39.389 --> 00:08:41.278
So many intangibles to that.
00:08:41.778 --> 00:08:46.379
Number 4 Set 15, 20 minutes aside every single day.
00:08:46.979 --> 00:08:52.379
For some random reading I like to take a different book every single day lately I've been.
00:08:53.129 --> 00:08:56.609
Uh, been jamming on James Clear's atomic habits.
00:08:56.668 --> 00:08:58.019
Read it several times.
00:08:58.469 --> 00:09:05.129
But normally I just go to another book the next day, but I've just been so intrigued and I'm in a different season of my life.
00:09:05.458 --> 00:09:08.099
That a lot of the stuff that I've read before, I totally forgot.
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:13.288
And now I'm just picking these things back up and saying, oh, I'm missing this.
00:09:14.849 --> 00:09:18.958
Number fiveShare.
00:09:16.798 --> 00:09:18.958
Everybody's an expert at something.
00:09:19.168 --> 00:09:22.259
Share your knowledge, contribute to society.
00:09:22.798 --> 00:09:23.548
Teaching.
00:09:24.239 --> 00:09:25.499
Reinforces the learning.
00:09:25.499 --> 00:09:27.418
So people get to learn from you.
00:09:28.168 --> 00:09:32.038
But while you teach it, you learn it even better and deeper.
00:09:32.038 --> 00:09:33.119
And a lot of times the.
00:09:33.509 --> 00:09:35.009
The things that you teach.
00:09:35.609 --> 00:09:37.048
People leave a comment.
00:09:37.438 --> 00:09:38.668
Our contribute.
00:09:39.328 --> 00:09:41.519
And now you can add that.
00:09:42.629 --> 00:09:46.288
To your learning to your knowledge and they end up teaching you.
00:09:46.708 --> 00:09:51.509
To great benefit, but it'll never happen if you don't put it out there first.
00:09:51.719 --> 00:09:54.119
The universe is, uh, you first.
00:09:54.119 --> 00:09:54.899
Society.
00:09:55.438 --> 00:09:57.418
She says, you go for anything that you want.
00:09:57.418 --> 00:09:58.168
You go first.
00:09:58.229 --> 00:09:59.458
I'm not going to bring it to you.
00:09:59.729 --> 00:10:01.048
I'm not going to serve it up.
00:10:01.318 --> 00:10:02.548
But I'll reveal it to you.
00:10:02.788 --> 00:10:06.808
I'll show you how to get there, but I'm going to test your commitment.
00:10:07.109 --> 00:10:08.609
I'm gonna make you put in the work.
00:10:09.778 --> 00:10:10.948
Number number?
00:10:10.948 --> 00:10:11.458
What are we on?
00:10:11.489 --> 00:10:12.328
Number six.
00:10:12.818 --> 00:10:15.399
Designed to align plan your day.
00:10:16.058 --> 00:10:17.558
From working out.
00:10:17.859 --> 00:10:21.908
To eating to what you're going to wear to where you're heading in life.
00:10:22.359 --> 00:10:24.908
Set the intention episode 8 41.
00:10:24.908 --> 00:10:26.318
I was just talking about that.
00:10:26.678 --> 00:10:28.239
Is the intention.
00:10:28.269 --> 00:10:31.749
What is the intention that you put in, in everything that you do?
00:10:31.749 --> 00:10:35.558
And I wrote that because I realized man, some days.
00:10:35.918 --> 00:10:38.619
Like in my personal life, I have an intention.
00:10:39.548 --> 00:10:44.859
But sometimes man, when I get to work, I just cause it's sales and it seems so unscripted.
00:10:45.788 --> 00:10:47.979
That I just lost the intention.
00:10:47.979 --> 00:10:49.479
So I'm just kind of floating around.
00:10:49.509 --> 00:10:51.609
I was spending so much extra energy.
00:10:52.339 --> 00:10:56.139
on Things that didn't bring back to my impact.
00:10:56.259 --> 00:10:58.688
And I was getting to the end of the day more frustrated.
00:10:59.229 --> 00:11:02.019
Because I wasn't setting the intention.
00:11:02.678 --> 00:11:05.889
So that recalibrates me see sharing that.
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.068
Actually benefited me.
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.989
Because I can learn that deeper.
00:11:12.288 --> 00:11:17.239
So designed to align, make sure that you have an intention in everything that you do.
00:11:18.528 --> 00:11:21.739
When you follow our process, you can focus on the five CS.
00:11:22.188 --> 00:11:23.269
The five C's.
00:11:23.629 --> 00:11:24.948
Our communication.
00:11:25.369 --> 00:11:27.589
This is what's going to keep you RFA ready for anything.
00:11:27.798 --> 00:11:29.688
This is how you'll handle the adversity.
00:11:29.928 --> 00:11:32.208
Embrace uncertainty and never settle again.
00:11:32.239 --> 00:11:33.438
Number one, communicate.
00:11:33.828 --> 00:11:36.229
Communicate effectively with yourself.
00:11:36.859 --> 00:11:41.509
And others that are aligned with your path, the other ones.
00:11:42.349 --> 00:11:43.548
The bullshit people.
00:11:44.599 --> 00:11:45.499
Be unavailable.
00:11:46.068 --> 00:11:47.119
Curiosity.
00:11:48.048 --> 00:11:51.619
Ask questions instead of making statements all day long.
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:53.749
How can you use this?
00:11:53.928 --> 00:11:54.948
What does this mean?
00:11:55.578 --> 00:11:56.839
Hey, let me ask you a question.
00:11:57.379 --> 00:11:59.538
Just you'd be amazed.
00:12:01.548 --> 00:12:07.158
If you would suspend what you think, you know, And go chase what you don't know.
00:12:07.458 --> 00:12:10.308
There's so much more out there that we don't know than we do know.
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:11.958
Number three creativity.
00:12:12.688 --> 00:12:13.828
Be resourceful.
00:12:13.859 --> 00:12:19.219
When you lack resources, 90% of population sit around bitching about what they don't have.
00:12:20.359 --> 00:12:21.438
10 percenters.
00:12:21.708 --> 00:12:22.249
It's you.
00:12:22.908 --> 00:12:24.048
You get resourceful.
00:12:24.739 --> 00:12:25.818
Lack is leverage.
00:12:25.849 --> 00:12:28.609
So when you don't have it, You use what you got.
00:12:29.418 --> 00:12:30.528
Continuous learning.
00:12:32.119 --> 00:12:39.589
This is part of the 15 minutes of random reading every single day, man, you need to be learning something different that would probably give you something to write about.
00:12:39.979 --> 00:12:40.969
What did you learn today?
00:12:40.969 --> 00:12:42.948
The wilt, what I learned today?
00:12:43.999 --> 00:12:47.389
Uh, number five productive confrontation, addressing issues.
00:12:47.389 --> 00:12:48.198
Head on.
00:12:48.619 --> 00:12:51.078
Without attaching a negative narrative to it.
00:12:52.009 --> 00:12:53.028
So, let me ask you this.
00:12:53.028 --> 00:12:55.009
As we wrap this up, what frustrates you?
00:12:55.578 --> 00:12:58.729
What do you not accomplishing right now that you wish you were.
00:12:59.509 --> 00:13:02.599
Chances are you're too focused on the goal.
00:13:02.958 --> 00:13:04.129
The goals are important.
00:13:04.129 --> 00:13:04.908
Don't get me wrong.
00:13:05.418 --> 00:13:07.308
The goal provides the direction.
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:08.839
But the system.
00:13:09.198 --> 00:13:12.379
A process of repeated simple actions every day.
00:13:13.158 --> 00:13:15.889
That's how you're going to get there when you get there.
00:13:16.308 --> 00:13:17.239
What you do.
00:13:17.599 --> 00:13:18.438
Is up to you.
00:13:18.798 --> 00:13:19.908
When you get there.
00:13:20.119 --> 00:13:21.048
It's not up to you.
00:13:21.438 --> 00:13:26.899
You control the, what you let the universe handle the when so you've got to align your life.
00:13:27.528 --> 00:13:29.208
With these foundational principles.
00:13:29.808 --> 00:13:32.448
And you're going to find that the outcome's going to take care of itself.
00:13:33.458 --> 00:13:35.139
Just stay focused on the process.
00:13:35.889 --> 00:13:36.308
All right.
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.208
Let's get out of here.
