00:00:00.270 --> 00:00:00.479
All right.
00:00:00.540 --> 00:00:01.679
3, 2, 1, let's get it.
00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:03.329
The three ingredients.
00:00:03.930 --> 00:00:05.070
Of a process.
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:10.349
I'm a process guy through and through the thing that has drastically changed in my life.
00:00:10.378 --> 00:00:17.759
People think it's, you know, Certain diets are working out regimen or all these kinds of different things.
00:00:18.208 --> 00:00:21.359
The thing that has brought me tremendous success.
00:00:21.899 --> 00:00:23.219
Is working.
00:00:23.489 --> 00:00:24.719
A simple process.
00:00:24.748 --> 00:00:27.568
It has reduced my stress level.
00:00:28.739 --> 00:00:30.388
And drastically.
00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:33.450
Increase my chances of success.
00:00:33.959 --> 00:00:37.920
And I say chance of success because it's a positioning.
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.198
If you will, if anything, while the results aren't guaranteed.
00:00:43.219 --> 00:00:44.899
I can't control the results.
00:00:45.529 --> 00:00:47.749
But I can control my effort.
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:50.298
That puts me in position.
00:00:51.649 --> 00:00:56.539
For great things to happen, even if it's not what I was hoping for.
00:00:57.289 --> 00:00:58.069
I'm telling you.
00:00:58.518 --> 00:00:59.359
It's better.
00:01:01.009 --> 00:01:09.560
And I could have hoped for in many times the thing that I think I want when I work a proven process, six step process, that'll work every day.
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:10.638
When I do that.
00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:16.399
Oftentimes it breaks open opportunities and connections.
00:01:17.118 --> 00:01:24.578
Then I wasn't even looking for, because a lot of the things that you said in your mind of where you want to go, what you want in your life.
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:31.638
If you think about it, through the scope and through the lens of where you are now and what you think what's possible.
00:01:32.149 --> 00:01:35.478
But if you work a process that brings you in alignment.
00:01:36.168 --> 00:01:38.388
With the person that you want to be.
00:01:39.739 --> 00:01:41.959
Then who you think you want to be?
00:01:42.498 --> 00:01:44.868
It may take a total diversion.
00:01:45.528 --> 00:01:47.388
And ended up being way better.
00:01:47.989 --> 00:01:56.748
Then you could have ever hoped for, I think back to, and I don't know if it was a video I was watching or something that I read about.
00:01:57.170 --> 00:02:00.498
Uh, the man crush, I have Dwayne Johnson, the rock.
00:02:01.819 --> 00:02:05.489
But how, his life is better than he could have ever expected.
00:02:05.969 --> 00:02:10.379
Like he had big dreams, big goals, but it's way better.
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.439
But at least he went for these things.
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:17.490
He worked at process and works at process that brings into my alignment with that.
00:02:18.330 --> 00:02:20.370
And he's the biggest bankable store.
00:02:21.659 --> 00:02:22.409
In the world.
00:02:23.370 --> 00:02:24.479
That's what it is.
00:02:25.139 --> 00:02:28.860
So I work a simple six step process every single day.
00:02:29.189 --> 00:02:31.889
And it doesn't mean at the end of the week, I score a hundred percent.
00:02:32.099 --> 00:02:32.939
Not at all.
00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:39.360
There are times family situations come up, work situations, come up, emotions come up.
00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:42.629
And so I get a little bit off kilter.
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.379
But even though I don't score a hundred percent.
00:02:47.189 --> 00:02:49.050
I score very, very high.
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:55.860
Because with a six step process, I've worked six, I'd say four to six, nothing way.
00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:56.490
Elaborate.
00:02:56.949 --> 00:03:00.639
Because I work a process, even if one of these things gets off track.
00:03:01.118 --> 00:03:06.158
I can adjust one of the pieces of the six instead of whole thing.
00:03:06.459 --> 00:03:12.158
Collapsing all at once, because one thing just may get, imagine your process in a straight line.
00:03:12.429 --> 00:03:12.878
Right.
00:03:13.118 --> 00:03:16.479
And imagine just one of them being just a little bit off center.
00:03:16.899 --> 00:03:22.179
So when that is, you can perform a couple of actions that get you back on track.
00:03:22.868 --> 00:03:24.399
And now you're back in line.
00:03:24.399 --> 00:03:26.229
That's what's key about a process.
00:03:26.498 --> 00:03:29.859
Many times people lump it all together and their actions.
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:34.248
And then, so when one thing breaks the whole bridge of success comes down.
00:03:34.609 --> 00:03:38.239
Versus if you think of it as little notches.
00:03:38.658 --> 00:03:41.568
Six pieces in, in, in a straight line.
00:03:41.838 --> 00:03:46.099
When one of them is a little bit off, you just poop, you just push it over a little bit.
00:03:46.549 --> 00:03:48.139
And now you're back in alignment.
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.460
So now creating a process is going to be through trial and error.
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.129
But you'll do this.
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.840
You'll just run with something.
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.900
Even if you copy someone else, you can copy mine or someone else's.
00:04:00.349 --> 00:04:03.650
And then you make the deviations and you start to customize it.
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.229
That works better for you.
00:04:06.349 --> 00:04:07.430
That's in alignment.
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.680
With the man or woman that you want to be.
00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:13.550
So for me, My process won't.
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:15.050
It's for three things.
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.519
It's to make me healthy, sharp, and fit.
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.519
As I age in life, so healthy.
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.379
It's physically healthy.
00:04:25.709 --> 00:04:26.759
It's relational.
00:04:26.819 --> 00:04:28.259
It's mental, it's spiritual.
00:04:28.259 --> 00:04:29.189
It's financial health.
00:04:30.180 --> 00:04:31.110
So I want to be healthy.
00:04:31.110 --> 00:04:32.279
I want to be sharp.
00:04:32.850 --> 00:04:35.759
And the things that I do every single day to bring me sharpness.
00:04:36.389 --> 00:04:39.269
Is random reading, 15 minutes, random reading every day.
00:04:39.269 --> 00:04:42.810
Now I read throughout the day, but that is my designated time.
00:04:42.810 --> 00:04:43.439
15 minutes.
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:44.519
Read them random reading.
00:04:45.269 --> 00:04:48.000
I write Every single day, at least one page.
00:04:48.750 --> 00:04:51.180
Uh, share, which is what I'm doing with you now.
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:52.959
Those keep me sharp.
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:53.980
Those keep me growing.
00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:55.420
And then fit.
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:57.819
So remember my process.
00:04:57.819 --> 00:05:00.699
Is designed to make me healthy, sharp.
00:05:01.389 --> 00:05:01.990
And fit.
00:05:02.350 --> 00:05:04.240
And the fitness part is the workout.
00:05:04.540 --> 00:05:06.370
Just work out every single day.
00:05:06.910 --> 00:05:11.800
It's it's part of mental, but it's also, as I get older.
00:05:12.790 --> 00:05:14.350
Dude, I'm in the best shape of my life.
00:05:14.379 --> 00:05:16.870
Best shape I've ever been in, even since high school.
00:05:17.889 --> 00:05:19.509
So I do these things.
00:05:20.379 --> 00:05:25.990
That are in accordance with the man that I need to be not wanting to be who I need to be.
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.060
It's important to me.
00:05:29.110 --> 00:05:30.579
So a process.
00:05:30.579 --> 00:05:33.279
When you design one, it's comprised of three things.
00:05:33.310 --> 00:05:37.509
You must have all three things, discipline, consistency, and time management.
00:05:37.509 --> 00:05:39.879
And so on to break these three ingredients down.
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.040
To have an effective process.
00:05:42.228 --> 00:05:45.468
And they all depend on one another, if you don't have these.
00:05:45.949 --> 00:05:49.488
Then your process is probably going to come apart.
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:50.689
First thing is discipline.
00:05:51.288 --> 00:05:54.468
Let me tell you some discipline has such a bad rap man.
00:05:54.499 --> 00:05:57.619
People just, they frown when they hear discipline and I get it.
00:05:57.619 --> 00:06:02.509
It's written in the Bible about discipline and your child spare the rod, spoil the child.
00:06:02.569 --> 00:06:02.928
Right?
00:06:03.168 --> 00:06:05.088
You think of the principal's office.
00:06:05.088 --> 00:06:10.519
When you think of discipline, you thinking of a spanking, hopefully most of you guys got spankings back in the days.
00:06:10.939 --> 00:06:12.439
People need them these days.
00:06:13.038 --> 00:06:14.749
But that's what we think about a discipline.
00:06:14.988 --> 00:06:16.759
Let me tell you what discipline simply is.
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.999
Discipline is improving a skill.
00:06:20.749 --> 00:06:21.379
Every day.
00:06:21.528 --> 00:06:23.418
So am I improving the skill?
00:06:23.478 --> 00:06:26.778
If I'm getting better every single day at this skill?
00:06:27.738 --> 00:06:30.108
Then that is a discipline.
00:06:31.119 --> 00:06:31.928
That's all it is.
00:06:32.108 --> 00:06:34.449
It's the difference with look at it like this.
00:06:35.358 --> 00:06:36.528
If I want to be disciplined.
00:06:37.069 --> 00:06:38.329
Will this action.
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.209
Maybe stronger or weakened me.
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:43.459
It's the difference with.
00:06:44.269 --> 00:06:45.288
Going to the gym.
00:06:45.709 --> 00:06:46.908
Are going to happy hour.
00:06:47.788 --> 00:06:49.528
It's dumbbells over donuts.
00:06:50.249 --> 00:06:51.449
I mean, that's what discipline is.
00:06:51.449 --> 00:06:54.088
So if I want the doughnut, it's going to weaken me.
00:06:54.658 --> 00:06:58.918
If I want the dumb bells it's going to strengthen me, even if I ain't fully feeling it.
00:06:59.309 --> 00:07:01.949
I just do this act, this disciplined.
00:07:02.338 --> 00:07:03.689
And I try to get better.
00:07:04.559 --> 00:07:06.209
A little bit, every single day.
00:07:06.478 --> 00:07:09.209
Second thing that you got to have is consistency.
00:07:09.358 --> 00:07:10.889
You can't be disciplined.
00:07:11.588 --> 00:07:12.399
Long-term.
00:07:13.269 --> 00:07:15.759
Without consistency, they need one another.
00:07:16.298 --> 00:07:17.588
Everybody's disciplined.
00:07:17.949 --> 00:07:18.668
For a week.
00:07:19.619 --> 00:07:20.879
Can you be consistent?
00:07:21.928 --> 00:07:23.309
And created as a lifestyle.
00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:27.329
Four to six things that are not goal-driven.
00:07:28.408 --> 00:07:29.759
Their effort oriented.
00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:31.858
So they're in alignment.
00:07:33.418 --> 00:07:38.579
That make you better every single day they improve a skill AK discipline.
00:07:39.329 --> 00:07:40.829
Make you just a little bit better.
00:07:40.829 --> 00:07:42.569
One inch better every single day.
00:07:42.988 --> 00:07:45.478
And if you do this, you're going to see big changes in your life.
00:07:45.838 --> 00:07:48.418
And lastly, Time management.
00:07:48.418 --> 00:07:53.069
This is where most people, this is my biggest struggle is the time management there's so much.
00:07:53.338 --> 00:08:00.298
I get so frustrated because I'm like, oh man, if I have more time to create more episodes in the podcast, I love to do a daily podcast.
00:08:00.329 --> 00:08:02.098
I would love to do a daily podcast.
00:08:02.428 --> 00:08:04.738
You know, and I've tried to do a daily podcast.
00:08:04.738 --> 00:08:05.848
It just doesn't work that way.
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:11.249
Not right now, but I can do the other things that will put me in position.
00:08:11.278 --> 00:08:13.678
So when the opportunity comes up, I can.
00:08:15.149 --> 00:08:16.228
Do more episodes.
00:08:17.278 --> 00:08:19.108
I'm reading Deion Sanders, new book.
00:08:19.499 --> 00:08:23.459
I forgot the name of it, but anyway, I'm reading it and you know, he has a chapter in there.
00:08:23.459 --> 00:08:25.379
That's plan your time, time, your plan.
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:28.048
This is all about the time management part.
00:08:28.678 --> 00:08:30.809
And so it's simple and effective.
00:08:31.228 --> 00:08:32.969
Plan your time, time, your plan.
00:08:33.208 --> 00:08:37.529
So number one, planning, no one designing what you're going to do that day.
00:08:37.918 --> 00:08:40.139
But also you have to budget.
00:08:40.708 --> 00:08:41.399
Time.
00:08:42.089 --> 00:08:43.500
To be able to do these things.
00:08:43.828 --> 00:08:47.639
And a process is not going to work for you if it's too long.
00:08:48.299 --> 00:08:49.559
It will be inconsistent.
00:08:49.859 --> 00:08:51.539
Because you won't be able to do it all the time.
00:08:51.928 --> 00:08:54.158
And everybody else suffers as a part of that.
00:08:54.158 --> 00:09:00.399
So what I would tell you to do is, is set floor goals, bare minimum of excellence.
00:09:01.058 --> 00:09:03.698
Not bare minimum, but bare minimum of excellence.
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:05.318
Excellence is, is key.
00:09:05.859 --> 00:09:10.178
Because if you think of excellent, that means that you can't just dial it in that day.
00:09:10.418 --> 00:09:12.999
You got to, at least it's got improve.
00:09:13.178 --> 00:09:14.198
It's got to get a little bit better.
00:09:14.198 --> 00:09:16.058
So budget your time accordingly.
00:09:16.479 --> 00:09:20.019
And so for me, My bare minimum of excellence.
00:09:20.019 --> 00:09:24.759
Sometimes I have more, reading something random reading 15 minutes every day.
00:09:24.818 --> 00:09:27.578
Again, sometimes I have days I can go longer.
00:09:27.999 --> 00:09:30.759
But my bare minimum of excellence will keep me sharp.
00:09:30.908 --> 00:09:41.708
Is that writing 20 minutes or at least one page every single day, working out for an hour, sharing something of value, which is what I'm doing right now, because there's enough BS out there in the world.
00:09:41.979 --> 00:09:46.448
I want to bring you something that you can apply to your life that has helped me.
00:09:46.629 --> 00:09:47.859
And then design.
00:09:48.109 --> 00:09:51.349
So I design what I'm going to eat, what I'm going to wear.
00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:52.879
And also, where am I going?
00:09:52.909 --> 00:09:53.750
What is it I'm doing?
00:09:53.750 --> 00:09:56.208
Why am I doing this every single day for what?
00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:58.519
Which direction do I want to go?
00:09:58.578 --> 00:10:01.609
Is it an alignment with the person and the man that I need to be.
00:10:02.179 --> 00:10:03.619
If, yes, keep going.
00:10:03.739 --> 00:10:05.779
I'm telling you dude, a process.
00:10:06.589 --> 00:10:07.759
It's going to change your life.
00:10:08.029 --> 00:10:11.119
And so many times people think that a process is restrictive.
00:10:11.179 --> 00:10:22.519
It's not restricted, but all, and actually is easier because once you develop it, Then it creates the freedom and opened you up.
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.029
To capitalize on other opportunities.
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:27.350
And.
00:10:28.009 --> 00:10:34.399
Uh, connections that otherwise you would not have because there are people that are watching you, man, all the time.
00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:40.970
And so when they see that you work a process every single day, and they can see that you embody the results.
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.669
Mentally spiritually, physically.
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:45.919
They see those things relationally.
00:10:46.460 --> 00:10:49.129
Then they, they champion that they want to be a part of that.
00:10:49.309 --> 00:10:55.100
If you think about the times that you're frustrated, you're not frustrated because really you have so much to do.
00:10:55.309 --> 00:11:00.529
You're frustrated because you don't get to do other things that you want to do.
00:11:01.229 --> 00:11:05.519
There's this other side, this other world that you want to be in.
00:11:05.698 --> 00:11:15.509
There's this bigger person, larger than life person, larger than your life now that you want to be, but you get so frustrated and you, you take actions.
00:11:15.869 --> 00:11:18.509
That actually weaken you and make you worse.
00:11:18.749 --> 00:11:20.129
You do these things.
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.198
As a way of coping.
00:11:22.739 --> 00:11:26.009
Versus if you work a process that brings you in alignment with that.
00:11:26.309 --> 00:11:27.989
No, you're not going to be a champion.
00:11:28.619 --> 00:11:32.009
That day, but you can act like a champion.
00:11:32.309 --> 00:11:33.299
Every single day.
00:11:33.479 --> 00:11:39.119
And if it brings you in alignment, you work this simple process every single day, you budget your time.
00:11:39.299 --> 00:11:40.078
You're consistent.
00:11:40.078 --> 00:11:41.369
Your discipline dude.
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.708
I'm telling you I'm living proof.
00:11:44.188 --> 00:11:45.958
Your life is going to change for you.
00:11:46.049 --> 00:11:47.279
All right, let's get outta here.
00:11:47.309 --> 00:11:48.539
Thanks for sharing this episode.
00:11:48.539 --> 00:11:49.198
Keep it simple.
00:11:49.198 --> 00:11:49.799
Keep it moving.
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:50.309
Never settle.
00:11:50.309 --> 00:11:51.328
State tough peace.
00:00:00.270 --> 00:00:00.479
All right.
00:00:00.540 --> 00:00:01.679
3, 2, 1, let's get it.
00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:03.329
The three ingredients.
00:00:03.930 --> 00:00:05.070
Of a process.
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:10.349
I'm a process guy through and through the thing that has drastically changed in my life.
00:00:10.378 --> 00:00:17.759
People think it's, you know, Certain diets are working out regimen or all these kinds of different things.
00:00:18.208 --> 00:00:21.359
The thing that has brought me tremendous success.
00:00:21.899 --> 00:00:23.219
Is working.
00:00:23.489 --> 00:00:24.719
A simple process.
00:00:24.748 --> 00:00:27.568
It has reduced my stress level.
00:00:28.739 --> 00:00:30.388
And drastically.
00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:33.450
Increase my chances of success.
00:00:33.959 --> 00:00:37.920
And I say chance of success because it's a positioning.
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.198
If you will, if anything, while the results aren't guaranteed.
00:00:43.219 --> 00:00:44.899
I can't control the results.
00:00:45.529 --> 00:00:47.749
But I can control my effort.
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:50.298
That puts me in position.
00:00:51.649 --> 00:00:56.539
For great things to happen, even if it's not what I was hoping for.
00:00:57.289 --> 00:00:58.069
I'm telling you.
00:00:58.518 --> 00:00:59.359
It's better.
00:01:01.009 --> 00:01:09.560
And I could have hoped for in many times the thing that I think I want when I work a proven process, six step process, that'll work every day.
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:10.638
When I do that.
00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:16.399
Oftentimes it breaks open opportunities and connections.
00:01:17.118 --> 00:01:24.578
Then I wasn't even looking for, because a lot of the things that you said in your mind of where you want to go, what you want in your life.
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:31.638
If you think about it, through the scope and through the lens of where you are now and what you think what's possible.
00:01:32.149 --> 00:01:35.478
But if you work a process that brings you in alignment.
00:01:36.168 --> 00:01:38.388
With the person that you want to be.
00:01:39.739 --> 00:01:41.959
Then who you think you want to be?
00:01:42.498 --> 00:01:44.868
It may take a total diversion.
00:01:45.528 --> 00:01:47.388
And ended up being way better.
00:01:47.989 --> 00:01:56.748
Then you could have ever hoped for, I think back to, and I don't know if it was a video I was watching or something that I read about.
00:01:57.170 --> 00:02:00.498
Uh, the man crush, I have Dwayne Johnson, the rock.
00:02:01.819 --> 00:02:05.489
But how, his life is better than he could have ever expected.
00:02:05.969 --> 00:02:10.379
Like he had big dreams, big goals, but it's way better.
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.439
But at least he went for these things.
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:17.490
He worked at process and works at process that brings into my alignment with that.
00:02:18.330 --> 00:02:20.370
And he's the biggest bankable store.
00:02:21.659 --> 00:02:22.409
In the world.
00:02:23.370 --> 00:02:24.479
That's what it is.
00:02:25.139 --> 00:02:28.860
So I work a simple six step process every single day.
00:02:29.189 --> 00:02:31.889
And it doesn't mean at the end of the week, I score a hundred percent.
00:02:32.099 --> 00:02:32.939
Not at all.
00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:39.360
There are times family situations come up, work situations, come up, emotions come up.
00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:42.629
And so I get a little bit off kilter.
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.379
But even though I don't score a hundred percent.
00:02:47.189 --> 00:02:49.050
I score very, very high.
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:55.860
Because with a six step process, I've worked six, I'd say four to six, nothing way.
00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:56.490
Elaborate.
00:02:56.949 --> 00:03:00.639
Because I work a process, even if one of these things gets off track.
00:03:01.118 --> 00:03:06.158
I can adjust one of the pieces of the six instead of whole thing.
00:03:06.459 --> 00:03:12.158
Collapsing all at once, because one thing just may get, imagine your process in a straight line.
00:03:12.429 --> 00:03:12.878
Right.
00:03:13.118 --> 00:03:16.479
And imagine just one of them being just a little bit off center.
00:03:16.899 --> 00:03:22.179
So when that is, you can perform a couple of actions that get you back on track.
00:03:22.868 --> 00:03:24.399
And now you're back in line.
00:03:24.399 --> 00:03:26.229
That's what's key about a process.
00:03:26.498 --> 00:03:29.859
Many times people lump it all together and their actions.
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:34.248
And then, so when one thing breaks the whole bridge of success comes down.
00:03:34.609 --> 00:03:38.239
Versus if you think of it as little notches.
00:03:38.658 --> 00:03:41.568
Six pieces in, in, in a straight line.
00:03:41.838 --> 00:03:46.099
When one of them is a little bit off, you just poop, you just push it over a little bit.
00:03:46.549 --> 00:03:48.139
And now you're back in alignment.
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.460
So now creating a process is going to be through trial and error.
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.129
But you'll do this.
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.840
You'll just run with something.
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.900
Even if you copy someone else, you can copy mine or someone else's.
00:04:00.349 --> 00:04:03.650
And then you make the deviations and you start to customize it.
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.229
That works better for you.
00:04:06.349 --> 00:04:07.430
That's in alignment.
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.680
With the man or woman that you want to be.
00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:13.550
So for me, My process won't.
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:15.050
It's for three things.
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.519
It's to make me healthy, sharp, and fit.
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.519
As I age in life, so healthy.
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.379
It's physically healthy.
00:04:25.709 --> 00:04:26.759
It's relational.
00:04:26.819 --> 00:04:28.259
It's mental, it's spiritual.
00:04:28.259 --> 00:04:29.189
It's financial health.
00:04:30.180 --> 00:04:31.110
So I want to be healthy.
00:04:31.110 --> 00:04:32.279
I want to be sharp.
00:04:32.850 --> 00:04:35.759
And the things that I do every single day to bring me sharpness.
00:04:36.389 --> 00:04:39.269
Is random reading, 15 minutes, random reading every day.
00:04:39.269 --> 00:04:42.810
Now I read throughout the day, but that is my designated time.
00:04:42.810 --> 00:04:43.439
15 minutes.
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:44.519
Read them random reading.
00:04:45.269 --> 00:04:48.000
I write Every single day, at least one page.
00:04:48.750 --> 00:04:51.180
Uh, share, which is what I'm doing with you now.
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:52.959
Those keep me sharp.
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:53.980
Those keep me growing.
00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:55.420
And then fit.
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:57.819
So remember my process.
00:04:57.819 --> 00:05:00.699
Is designed to make me healthy, sharp.
00:05:01.389 --> 00:05:01.990
And fit.
00:05:02.350 --> 00:05:04.240
And the fitness part is the workout.
00:05:04.540 --> 00:05:06.370
Just work out every single day.
00:05:06.910 --> 00:05:11.800
It's it's part of mental, but it's also, as I get older.
00:05:12.790 --> 00:05:14.350
Dude, I'm in the best shape of my life.
00:05:14.379 --> 00:05:16.870
Best shape I've ever been in, even since high school.
00:05:17.889 --> 00:05:19.509
So I do these things.
00:05:20.379 --> 00:05:25.990
That are in accordance with the man that I need to be not wanting to be who I need to be.
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.060
It's important to me.
00:05:29.110 --> 00:05:30.579
So a process.
00:05:30.579 --> 00:05:33.279
When you design one, it's comprised of three things.
00:05:33.310 --> 00:05:37.509
You must have all three things, discipline, consistency, and time management.
00:05:37.509 --> 00:05:39.879
And so on to break these three ingredients down.
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.040
To have an effective process.
00:05:42.228 --> 00:05:45.468
And they all depend on one another, if you don't have these.
00:05:45.949 --> 00:05:49.488
Then your process is probably going to come apart.
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:50.689
First thing is discipline.
00:05:51.288 --> 00:05:54.468
Let me tell you some discipline has such a bad rap man.
00:05:54.499 --> 00:05:57.619
People just, they frown when they hear discipline and I get it.
00:05:57.619 --> 00:06:02.509
It's written in the Bible about discipline and your child spare the rod, spoil the child.
00:06:02.569 --> 00:06:02.928
Right?
00:06:03.168 --> 00:06:05.088
You think of the principal's office.
00:06:05.088 --> 00:06:10.519
When you think of discipline, you thinking of a spanking, hopefully most of you guys got spankings back in the days.
00:06:10.939 --> 00:06:12.439
People need them these days.
00:06:13.038 --> 00:06:14.749
But that's what we think about a discipline.
00:06:14.988 --> 00:06:16.759
Let me tell you what discipline simply is.
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.999
Discipline is improving a skill.
00:06:20.749 --> 00:06:21.379
Every day.
00:06:21.528 --> 00:06:23.418
So am I improving the skill?
00:06:23.478 --> 00:06:26.778
If I'm getting better every single day at this skill?
00:06:27.738 --> 00:06:30.108
Then that is a discipline.
00:06:31.119 --> 00:06:31.928
That's all it is.
00:06:32.108 --> 00:06:34.449
It's the difference with look at it like this.
00:06:35.358 --> 00:06:36.528
If I want to be disciplined.
00:06:37.069 --> 00:06:38.329
Will this action.
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.209
Maybe stronger or weakened me.
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:43.459
It's the difference with.
00:06:44.269 --> 00:06:45.288
Going to the gym.
00:06:45.709 --> 00:06:46.908
Are going to happy hour.
00:06:47.788 --> 00:06:49.528
It's dumbbells over donuts.
00:06:50.249 --> 00:06:51.449
I mean, that's what discipline is.
00:06:51.449 --> 00:06:54.088
So if I want the doughnut, it's going to weaken me.
00:06:54.658 --> 00:06:58.918
If I want the dumb bells it's going to strengthen me, even if I ain't fully feeling it.
00:06:59.309 --> 00:07:01.949
I just do this act, this disciplined.
00:07:02.338 --> 00:07:03.689
And I try to get better.
00:07:04.559 --> 00:07:06.209
A little bit, every single day.
00:07:06.478 --> 00:07:09.209
Second thing that you got to have is consistency.
00:07:09.358 --> 00:07:10.889
You can't be disciplined.
00:07:11.588 --> 00:07:12.399
Long-term.
00:07:13.269 --> 00:07:15.759
Without consistency, they need one another.
00:07:16.298 --> 00:07:17.588
Everybody's disciplined.
00:07:17.949 --> 00:07:18.668
For a week.
00:07:19.619 --> 00:07:20.879
Can you be consistent?
00:07:21.928 --> 00:07:23.309
And created as a lifestyle.
00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:27.329
Four to six things that are not goal-driven.
00:07:28.408 --> 00:07:29.759
Their effort oriented.
00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:31.858
So they're in alignment.
00:07:33.418 --> 00:07:38.579
That make you better every single day they improve a skill AK discipline.
00:07:39.329 --> 00:07:40.829
Make you just a little bit better.
00:07:40.829 --> 00:07:42.569
One inch better every single day.
00:07:42.988 --> 00:07:45.478
And if you do this, you're going to see big changes in your life.
00:07:45.838 --> 00:07:48.418
And lastly, Time management.
00:07:48.418 --> 00:07:53.069
This is where most people, this is my biggest struggle is the time management there's so much.
00:07:53.338 --> 00:08:00.298
I get so frustrated because I'm like, oh man, if I have more time to create more episodes in the podcast, I love to do a daily podcast.
00:08:00.329 --> 00:08:02.098
I would love to do a daily podcast.
00:08:02.428 --> 00:08:04.738
You know, and I've tried to do a daily podcast.
00:08:04.738 --> 00:08:05.848
It just doesn't work that way.
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:11.249
Not right now, but I can do the other things that will put me in position.
00:08:11.278 --> 00:08:13.678
So when the opportunity comes up, I can.
00:08:15.149 --> 00:08:16.228
Do more episodes.
00:08:17.278 --> 00:08:19.108
I'm reading Deion Sanders, new book.
00:08:19.499 --> 00:08:23.459
I forgot the name of it, but anyway, I'm reading it and you know, he has a chapter in there.
00:08:23.459 --> 00:08:25.379
That's plan your time, time, your plan.
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:28.048
This is all about the time management part.
00:08:28.678 --> 00:08:30.809
And so it's simple and effective.
00:08:31.228 --> 00:08:32.969
Plan your time, time, your plan.
00:08:33.208 --> 00:08:37.529
So number one, planning, no one designing what you're going to do that day.
00:08:37.918 --> 00:08:40.139
But also you have to budget.
00:08:40.708 --> 00:08:41.399
Time.
00:08:42.089 --> 00:08:43.500
To be able to do these things.
00:08:43.828 --> 00:08:47.639
And a process is not going to work for you if it's too long.
00:08:48.299 --> 00:08:49.559
It will be inconsistent.
00:08:49.859 --> 00:08:51.539
Because you won't be able to do it all the time.
00:08:51.928 --> 00:08:54.158
And everybody else suffers as a part of that.
00:08:54.158 --> 00:09:00.399
So what I would tell you to do is, is set floor goals, bare minimum of excellence.
00:09:01.058 --> 00:09:03.698
Not bare minimum, but bare minimum of excellence.
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:05.318
Excellence is, is key.
00:09:05.859 --> 00:09:10.178
Because if you think of excellent, that means that you can't just dial it in that day.
00:09:10.418 --> 00:09:12.999
You got to, at least it's got improve.
00:09:13.178 --> 00:09:14.198
It's got to get a little bit better.
00:09:14.198 --> 00:09:16.058
So budget your time accordingly.
00:09:16.479 --> 00:09:20.019
And so for me, My bare minimum of excellence.
00:09:20.019 --> 00:09:24.759
Sometimes I have more, reading something random reading 15 minutes every day.
00:09:24.818 --> 00:09:27.578
Again, sometimes I have days I can go longer.
00:09:27.999 --> 00:09:30.759
But my bare minimum of excellence will keep me sharp.
00:09:30.908 --> 00:09:41.708
Is that writing 20 minutes or at least one page every single day, working out for an hour, sharing something of value, which is what I'm doing right now, because there's enough BS out there in the world.
00:09:41.979 --> 00:09:46.448
I want to bring you something that you can apply to your life that has helped me.
00:09:46.629 --> 00:09:47.859
And then design.
00:09:48.109 --> 00:09:51.349
So I design what I'm going to eat, what I'm going to wear.
00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:52.879
And also, where am I going?
00:09:52.909 --> 00:09:53.750
What is it I'm doing?
00:09:53.750 --> 00:09:56.208
Why am I doing this every single day for what?
00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:58.519
Which direction do I want to go?
00:09:58.578 --> 00:10:01.609
Is it an alignment with the person and the man that I need to be.
00:10:02.179 --> 00:10:03.619
If, yes, keep going.
00:10:03.739 --> 00:10:05.779
I'm telling you dude, a process.
00:10:06.589 --> 00:10:07.759
It's going to change your life.
00:10:08.029 --> 00:10:11.119
And so many times people think that a process is restrictive.
00:10:11.179 --> 00:10:22.519
It's not restricted, but all, and actually is easier because once you develop it, Then it creates the freedom and opened you up.
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.029
To capitalize on other opportunities.
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:27.350
And.
00:10:28.009 --> 00:10:34.399
Uh, connections that otherwise you would not have because there are people that are watching you, man, all the time.
00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:40.970
And so when they see that you work a process every single day, and they can see that you embody the results.
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.669
Mentally spiritually, physically.
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:45.919
They see those things relationally.
00:10:46.460 --> 00:10:49.129
Then they, they champion that they want to be a part of that.
00:10:49.309 --> 00:10:55.100
If you think about the times that you're frustrated, you're not frustrated because really you have so much to do.
00:10:55.309 --> 00:11:00.529
You're frustrated because you don't get to do other things that you want to do.
00:11:01.229 --> 00:11:05.519
There's this other side, this other world that you want to be in.
00:11:05.698 --> 00:11:15.509
There's this bigger person, larger than life person, larger than your life now that you want to be, but you get so frustrated and you, you take actions.
00:11:15.869 --> 00:11:18.509
That actually weaken you and make you worse.
00:11:18.749 --> 00:11:20.129
You do these things.
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.198
As a way of coping.
00:11:22.739 --> 00:11:26.009
Versus if you work a process that brings you in alignment with that.
00:11:26.309 --> 00:11:27.989
No, you're not going to be a champion.
00:11:28.619 --> 00:11:32.009
That day, but you can act like a champion.
00:11:32.309 --> 00:11:33.299
Every single day.
00:11:33.479 --> 00:11:39.119
And if it brings you in alignment, you work this simple process every single day, you budget your time.
00:11:39.299 --> 00:11:40.078
You're consistent.
00:11:40.078 --> 00:11:41.369
Your discipline dude.
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.708
I'm telling you I'm living proof.
00:11:44.188 --> 00:11:45.958
Your life is going to change for you.
00:11:46.049 --> 00:11:47.279
All right, let's get outta here.
00:11:47.309 --> 00:11:48.539
Thanks for sharing this episode.
00:11:48.539 --> 00:11:49.198
Keep it simple.
00:11:49.198 --> 00:11:49.799
Keep it moving.
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:50.309
Never settle.
00:11:50.309 --> 00:11:51.328
State tough peace.
