859. Be more productive & present with 5 skills & 5 habits.
In this episode, I break down the concept of living with purpose through five daily habits and five essential life skills that will help you stay ready for anything (RFA). It's about being productive without sacrificing the present moment. Here’s what I cover:
How do I integrate my five daily habits—working out, writing, reading, sharing, and setting expectations—to bring energy and focus to my day?
- Why the five C’s (Communication, Curiosity, Creativity, Continuous Learning, and Productive Confrontation) are the life skills you need to master.
- The importance of setting expectations daily to avoid coasting and live up to your full potential.
- How do you grade yourself on these skills to constantly improve and stay on track?
- Why is selling not just a profession but a life skill that will make you effective in all areas of life?
- How confronting procrastination and hesitation leads to a sense of accomplishment and forward movement.
- The six-pack of wealth: how to grow mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, relationally, and financially.
Tune in as I share my journey of balancing productivity and presence, and how you can start applying these practices in your own life today.

00:00:00.390 --> 00:00:00.569
All right.
00:00:00.630 --> 00:00:01.199
3, 2, 1.
00:00:01.229 --> 00:00:01.770
Let's get it.
00:00:02.339 --> 00:00:04.919
Welcome to another episode of what's your problem?
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:05.730
The podcast.
00:00:05.730 --> 00:00:10.439
I'm your host Marsh Buice and today's topic five skills.
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:11.939
Five habits.
00:00:12.730 --> 00:00:14.500
And in my reflection this morning.
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:16.300
I wrote that.
00:00:17.509 --> 00:00:18.978
I don't want to live my life.
00:00:19.789 --> 00:00:21.169
Staring at a stopwatch.
00:00:22.318 --> 00:00:24.318
or envisioning a stopwatch.
00:00:24.919 --> 00:00:26.629
So focused on time.
00:00:28.818 --> 00:00:30.259
That I forget to enjoy the moment.
00:00:31.278 --> 00:00:34.459
Always just jumping from one moment to the next.
00:00:35.558 --> 00:00:38.079
Hurrying to get to the next leg.
00:00:39.189 --> 00:00:40.329
Of my daily race.
00:00:41.948 --> 00:00:44.079
I don't want to live on a stopwatch.
00:00:45.018 --> 00:00:46.548
But I do want to live my life.
00:00:47.118 --> 00:00:48.289
Through a process.
00:00:48.829 --> 00:00:50.719
Practicing five habits.
00:00:51.529 --> 00:00:52.698
While developing.
00:00:53.209 --> 00:00:56.659
Five lifetime skills and I call these lifetime skills.
00:00:57.959 --> 00:01:01.200
And those skills to practice in all areas of your life.
00:01:01.228 --> 00:01:03.569
Communication, curiosity, creativity.
00:01:04.170 --> 00:01:06.810
Continuous learning and action and productive confrontation.
00:01:07.349 --> 00:01:09.810
What I affectionately called the five CS.
00:01:11.049 --> 00:01:12.629
because they all start with the letter C.
00:01:12.629 --> 00:01:14.939
These are skills that I learned.
00:01:15.509 --> 00:01:16.259
In sales.
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:19.078
But in reflection.
00:01:20.289 --> 00:01:22.629
When I was trying to put my life back together.
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.968
in my, in my lowest moment in life.
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:29.899
The only thing I was winning in was sales.
00:01:30.558 --> 00:01:35.459
And so I said, what skills have made me successful in sales?
00:01:35.459 --> 00:01:43.469
Uh, communication, curiosity, creativity, continuous learning, and action, productive confrontation.
00:01:43.829 --> 00:01:45.780
You got to confront to be able to sell.
00:01:46.650 --> 00:01:48.239
Is everybody says they're just shopping.
00:01:48.629 --> 00:01:50.609
So, what are those skills?
00:01:51.030 --> 00:01:53.129
So I had to identify those five skills.
00:01:53.759 --> 00:01:55.920
And I said, man, that's crazy.
00:01:56.250 --> 00:02:00.500
Those are the same skills that I can apply in my life too.
00:02:01.769 --> 00:02:03.569
And so I took those skills.
00:02:04.170 --> 00:02:05.189
And applied them.
00:02:06.989 --> 00:02:10.020
To get myself out of some desperate situations.
00:02:10.620 --> 00:02:12.449
And get my life back on track.
00:02:13.750 --> 00:02:19.090
So I'm learning that it's possible for me to be present.
00:02:20.020 --> 00:02:20.979
In the moment.
00:02:21.430 --> 00:02:23.710
Soaking in everything that's around me.
00:02:25.419 --> 00:02:29.560
While at the same time being productive, it's not either, or it's both.
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:30.099
And.
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.469
And I want to share these with you because it's a reminder for me too.
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:37.969
There are five habits.
00:02:38.990 --> 00:02:41.449
That I use every single day.
00:02:43.349 --> 00:02:44.969
The first one is working out.
00:02:45.659 --> 00:02:46.949
I like to work out every day.
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.650
You don't have to work out every day, but you do have to stay active and moving.
00:02:53.099 --> 00:02:53.729
Every day.
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:54.930
All right.
00:02:55.259 --> 00:02:59.159
The gym for me is kind of my meditation area.
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.620
It's kind of the way I kind of get away from things.
00:03:02.069 --> 00:03:04.740
It's a way for me to, to clock a win.
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.050
And so I like doing that.
00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:09.870
I don't have to, but I like to do that.
00:03:09.939 --> 00:03:12.870
strength training is necessary as I get older.
00:03:13.469 --> 00:03:15.090
And so I incorporate that.
00:03:15.090 --> 00:03:16.199
Do I have to go every day?
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:16.740
No.
00:03:17.370 --> 00:03:18.509
But I do like that.
00:03:18.930 --> 00:03:22.259
But at least you got to get some sort of movement.
00:03:23.189 --> 00:03:24.150
Stay active.
00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:26.039
So for me, a symbol.
00:03:26.909 --> 00:03:29.069
Is to log 12,000 steps.
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:31.629
The 12,000 steps is just.
00:03:32.770 --> 00:03:34.000
It's arbitrary.
00:03:34.030 --> 00:03:35.439
You can do 8,000.
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.159
If you're not very active right now, build it to 10 bills to 12.
00:03:39.490 --> 00:03:39.550
You.
00:03:39.580 --> 00:03:42.039
You know, I've had thoughts of building it to 15.
00:03:42.729 --> 00:03:45.219
But I don't, again, I don't want to get so far.
00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:46.840
I've got to get my 15,000 steps in.
00:03:47.259 --> 00:03:52.210
So the 12 is kind of the in-between 10,000 is kind of the minimum.
00:03:52.870 --> 00:03:54.789
15 is kind of aggressive.
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.530
So it kind of settled for 12.
00:03:56.620 --> 00:03:58.360
Again, that's just a number I picked.
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.139
And so 12,000 steps is a pretty active day.
00:04:02.449 --> 00:04:03.500
So working out.
00:04:04.659 --> 00:04:06.219
Is a daily habit for me.
00:04:06.729 --> 00:04:07.960
The second one is writing.
00:04:09.500 --> 00:04:10.960
writing literally saved my life.
00:04:11.659 --> 00:04:14.069
i challenge you to write one page every day.
00:04:15.118 --> 00:04:16.528
The one page per day.
00:04:17.250 --> 00:04:19.350
It's just kind of a mind hack for me.
00:04:19.889 --> 00:04:22.529
And so I say, bro, you can't just write one page.
00:04:22.559 --> 00:04:23.939
I mean, one page on legal page.
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:25.319
That's all you gotta do.
00:04:25.350 --> 00:04:26.279
You can't write one.
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:27.329
You can't come up with something.
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.209
And so it's kind of minhag for me.
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.439
Where I sit down and say, look, I'm pressed for time.
00:04:34.829 --> 00:04:40.048
If I said 500 words or 750 words, some people say that, but then.
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:42.730
I think you get back into this.
00:04:44.230 --> 00:04:45.399
Numbers game.
00:04:46.329 --> 00:04:48.160
And you're so focused on the number.
00:04:48.699 --> 00:04:49.990
That you're really not.
00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:52.449
Enjoying.
00:04:53.350 --> 00:04:56.439
The process and I think your process should be enjoyable.
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.259
I think it should be a sense of satisfied satisfaction.
00:04:59.740 --> 00:05:01.839
I think it should be something that stretches you.
00:05:02.709 --> 00:05:04.629
But also, I think you should enjoy it.
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.120
If the enjoyment is just like.
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:07.899
Man.
00:05:07.899 --> 00:05:08.680
I got it in.
00:05:09.069 --> 00:05:12.670
So the one page per day, there are days that I only do one page.
00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:18.399
But most days it's a couple of pages, but this is a chance for you to unspool your thoughts.
00:05:19.069 --> 00:05:21.529
This is the only time that you're alone with yourself.
00:05:21.980 --> 00:05:26.720
Or maybe it's something that you're just expressing your creativity.
00:05:27.050 --> 00:05:30.920
So there could be some critical thinking or some creative thinking.
00:05:31.250 --> 00:05:32.089
Either way.
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.339
It's the only time that you're with yourself.
00:05:35.269 --> 00:05:37.129
So write at least one page.
00:05:37.430 --> 00:05:39.019
And what's great about writing.
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:40.250
Is.
00:05:41.209 --> 00:05:46.170
The, the mechanism of doing that versus typing, typing, you're going to self sensor.
00:05:46.620 --> 00:05:49.800
, recording is good to lay the tracks down.
00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:56.730
I do that, but also like to come behind and unpack those thoughts, kind of the recording part is kind of the shorthand for me.
00:05:57.149 --> 00:06:01.290
The writing part is the long form where actually unpack.
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.259
The initial thoughts and I recorded those thoughts.
00:06:04.259 --> 00:06:06.029
So I, so I wouldn't forget about them.
00:06:06.449 --> 00:06:08.910
So writing one page every single day.
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:11.490
, the third habit.
00:06:11.850 --> 00:06:13.050
That's important for me.
00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:14.730
Is to read.
00:06:16.170 --> 00:06:18.839
10 to 20 minutes of reading.
00:06:19.678 --> 00:06:23.668
Sometimes I like to take a random book and read just that one chapter.
00:06:23.730 --> 00:06:24.750
It's about 15 minutes.
00:06:25.408 --> 00:06:26.399
I'm not a fast reader.
00:06:28.168 --> 00:06:37.639
And I try to read it and then I sometimes write that and interpret what I read sometimes interpret what it means to me.
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:38.838
That really helps me.
00:06:38.838 --> 00:06:41.838
And I've shared many times on this podcast, something that I just wrote.
00:06:42.358 --> 00:06:43.918
So sometimes I'll do the random reading.
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.738
And lately I'm working through one book.
00:06:48.098 --> 00:06:49.899
And I'm just not really in that season.
00:06:49.899 --> 00:06:50.858
There's different seasons.
00:06:50.858 --> 00:06:52.658
Sometimes I'll bounce around and random books.
00:06:53.019 --> 00:06:56.408
And then sometimes I just want to dig in on one book and right now I'm reading.
00:06:57.218 --> 00:06:59.108
Uh, gay Hendricks is book.
00:06:59.538 --> 00:07:00.228
Conscious living.
00:07:01.218 --> 00:07:02.689
And I really like it.
00:07:02.778 --> 00:07:05.658
And so I'll probably anchor on that boat for about a week.
00:07:07.189 --> 00:07:09.528
Once I'm tired of it, then I just go onto something else.
00:07:09.738 --> 00:07:11.629
But reading is super important.
00:07:11.689 --> 00:07:14.088
Reading can be also done through the ears.
00:07:14.088 --> 00:07:18.769
So if it's something that at least that you're learning something, don't go to shorts.
00:07:18.978 --> 00:07:22.009
Don't go to tik toks That's kind of occupying your time.
00:07:22.038 --> 00:07:23.988
You're not really investing in that.
00:07:24.048 --> 00:07:29.178
You need some investing and whether you like to read through the ears and you listen to audio book.
00:07:29.538 --> 00:07:32.389
Or maybe some long form of a podcast.
00:07:32.629 --> 00:07:33.319
What's your problems?
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:33.798
Good one.
00:07:34.098 --> 00:07:35.718
Or maybe it's a YouTube video.
00:07:36.278 --> 00:07:37.928
A masterclass, whatever.
00:07:38.288 --> 00:07:42.608
I like to read because this actually strengthens my focus muscles.
00:07:42.608 --> 00:07:45.819
Sometimes they get a little add, I get a little skizzed out I'm always jumping around.
00:07:45.848 --> 00:07:47.829
When I find I kind of get a little erratic like that.
00:07:48.278 --> 00:07:52.988
Then it's a way for me to just like slow the slow the world down.
00:07:53.228 --> 00:07:57.158
Sometimes, man, we just, we, we fill our days with a bunch of busy-ness.
00:07:57.608 --> 00:07:59.889
And we're just kind of worn out mentally.
00:07:59.918 --> 00:08:05.228
And the reason being is because you've got all these track changes that you're doing all throughout the day.
00:08:05.619 --> 00:08:07.928
So that reading is, is that aspect of it.
00:08:08.379 --> 00:08:13.418
The fourth habit that I like to practice every single day is share, share something of value.
00:08:13.418 --> 00:08:22.749
This is what this is a lot of times on my Instagram stories, I'll write something and then I'll share what I just wrote that sometimes comes out of the podcast.
00:08:23.028 --> 00:08:30.769
And what I'm sharing with you right now is something that is shared on my Instagram story this morning, kind of the rough draft while I was walking while I was thinking these things out.
00:08:32.058 --> 00:08:34.219
The fifth one is shaped my expectations.
00:08:34.698 --> 00:08:46.609
I used to call it, design it, design my day, design, what I'm going to wear, design what I'm going to eat, but I think more so it's shaping my expectation and you're living either up or down to your expectations.
00:08:47.028 --> 00:08:51.078
If you have no expectations for the day, then you're living down to your expectations.
00:08:51.078 --> 00:08:52.578
You're just a paper bag in the wind.
00:08:52.818 --> 00:09:00.719
You're just kind of wandering alone, but you got no clear direction when you set the expectation, man, you set the bar and so then you strive.
00:09:01.168 --> 00:09:01.979
To hit that bar.
00:09:01.979 --> 00:09:04.259
So what are your expectations for the day?
00:09:04.438 --> 00:09:05.428
Just a couple of things.
00:09:05.428 --> 00:09:06.599
Doesn't have to be anything.
00:09:06.599 --> 00:09:07.198
Elaborate.
00:09:07.678 --> 00:09:11.698
And then also shape the expectations that align with your life.
00:09:12.038 --> 00:09:14.828
These are those habits that keep me aligned.
00:09:15.129 --> 00:09:17.798
I'm not a big goal oriented person.
00:09:18.188 --> 00:09:23.649
Oh, I've got to be, you know, here in five years, I don't really look at it so much like that.
00:09:23.678 --> 00:09:26.139
Some people that works great for them, for me.
00:09:26.469 --> 00:09:31.178
I am a fly by the seat of your pants, kind of guy that has worked very well on sales.
00:09:31.479 --> 00:09:39.278
I do have to zoom it out a little bit, but it's more so working a process that's in alignment with the direction that I want to go.
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:51.009
So those are habits you can, you can use these habits if they work for you I would just say, just put in a few things, at least write, read, and work out.
00:09:51.038 --> 00:09:52.538
Just those three things there.
00:09:52.538 --> 00:09:54.818
If you're not ready to share something, then you don't have to.
00:09:55.028 --> 00:10:00.578
I believe everybody's a, bad-ass at something everybody's an expert at something share what's worked for you.
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.899
Don't just read something and then, you know, tell us what we should do yet.
00:10:04.899 --> 00:10:06.609
You haven't applied it to your own life.
00:10:06.938 --> 00:10:11.109
Read something, go , live it, apply it over and over again.
00:10:11.408 --> 00:10:13.599
And then man, tell us all about the results.
00:10:13.869 --> 00:10:16.119
That's what, that's what the world needs, man.
00:10:16.328 --> 00:10:17.948
And the world needs to hear from you.
00:10:18.038 --> 00:10:30.339
But if you're not ready for that, you can write it out in a, in a quote, you can write it out in a, in a, in a blog, whatever works for you, man, you could put it into a song doesn't matter, whatever works for you.
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.009
And that's expressing the creativity that I'll talk about in a minute.
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:40.808
So that's the, that's the five habits that are really, that are really like, so I can be productive.
00:10:41.499 --> 00:10:45.278
And get some things done that keep me humming along throughout the day.
00:10:45.578 --> 00:10:50.139
But I'm not so chained to this process that I can't pick up my head.
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:52.629
And that's, what's important.
00:10:52.629 --> 00:10:56.558
These things have to be aligned yet flexible as well.
00:10:57.009 --> 00:11:01.448
Now there are five skills, lifetime skills that you need.
00:11:01.958 --> 00:11:03.369
I learned them in sales.
00:11:04.028 --> 00:11:06.158
Sales is a profession selling.
00:11:06.849 --> 00:11:07.749
There's a life skill.
00:11:08.048 --> 00:11:09.849
And the five skills.
00:11:10.208 --> 00:11:11.649
That make you effective.
00:11:12.038 --> 00:11:16.028
In sales are the same five skills that's going to keep you.
00:11:16.448 --> 00:11:18.788
Effective and progressive in life.
00:11:19.418 --> 00:11:21.788
These skills I've implied, these skills.
00:11:22.239 --> 00:11:25.749
But I've never really sat down and kind of.
00:11:26.379 --> 00:11:30.788
Gave myself a grade on these kind of use it as a reflecting moment.
00:11:31.989 --> 00:11:34.778
So what I'm going to start doing that I want to share with you.
00:11:35.259 --> 00:11:36.009
Is.
00:11:36.999 --> 00:11:42.519
Given myself a grade, one to five on each one of these skills on how I did the day.
00:11:42.818 --> 00:11:43.958
It's not right or wrong.
00:11:44.019 --> 00:11:45.938
It's more so of an awareness.
00:11:46.359 --> 00:11:48.219
The first one is communication.
00:11:49.369 --> 00:11:52.849
I would give myself at the end of the day, Or in the morning.
00:11:53.239 --> 00:12:00.168
Recapping yesterday, this, this might be the time that you want to give yourself some, some thinking time, some writing time.
00:12:00.168 --> 00:12:04.818
So if you don't want to write something for a podcast, Then this would be that.
00:12:05.119 --> 00:12:07.938
One-on-one time for you, this critical thinking.
00:12:08.359 --> 00:12:11.418
And so you look at it and say, okay, communication.
00:12:11.719 --> 00:12:19.908
How well did I communicate today on a scale from one to five, five being the best one being not so good again, it's not to beat yourself up.
00:12:19.938 --> 00:12:23.298
It's to bring an awareness into everything that you're doing.
00:12:23.599 --> 00:12:27.168
So the communication side of it, how well did I communicate?
00:12:27.769 --> 00:12:28.249
Yesterday.
00:12:28.249 --> 00:12:29.538
I give myself probably.
00:12:30.168 --> 00:12:31.458
Uh, three, three and a half.
00:12:32.058 --> 00:12:33.469
Because I say.
00:12:34.339 --> 00:12:35.658
At first I said a three.
00:12:36.048 --> 00:12:43.099
Because I have a new manager that I've been working with all week and yesterday was a Saturday.
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.708
And so we'd been working together all week.
00:12:45.918 --> 00:12:49.278
And so I was more so focused on what my daily task was.
00:12:49.548 --> 00:12:52.249
I didn't train as much as I did during the week.
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.028
So I kind of left her to kind of do things on her own.
00:12:56.599 --> 00:12:58.969
I really should have checked in a little bit more.
00:12:59.458 --> 00:13:01.558
I do believe in autonomy.
00:13:01.589 --> 00:13:04.349
I do believe in people figuring things out.
00:13:04.678 --> 00:13:11.668
And so she had enough to figure things out, but I should have during the day not been so busy that it didn't check in it.
00:13:11.698 --> 00:13:13.019
Should've checked in a little bit more.
00:13:13.288 --> 00:13:13.678
Okay.
00:13:14.038 --> 00:13:21.089
But I give myself a three and a half because when I went to the gym yesterday morning, A buddy of mine was in there.
00:13:21.599 --> 00:13:27.269
And so instead of me popping the ear buds in that I've done so many times before, because I didn't feel like talking to anybody.
00:13:27.839 --> 00:13:29.129
I left a year buds out.
00:13:29.668 --> 00:13:32.099
And I stayed on task.
00:13:32.129 --> 00:13:34.769
I got my workout in, he got his workout in.
00:13:35.278 --> 00:13:37.739
But we talked at the same time we caught up.
00:13:37.979 --> 00:13:39.599
So that's why I give myself three and a half.
00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:42.328
And you can just grade yourself on each one of these categories.
00:13:42.599 --> 00:13:43.619
Curiosity.
00:13:44.099 --> 00:13:49.438
Some questions to ask yourself is, what statements that I turned into questions?
00:13:49.769 --> 00:13:54.269
Instead of just me railing out my opinion, saying something's not going to work.
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.109
Could I turn it into a question?
00:13:57.548 --> 00:13:58.749
Well, tell me more about that.
00:13:59.558 --> 00:14:00.399
How would you do it?
00:14:01.749 --> 00:14:03.249
Just to just a general thing.
00:14:03.249 --> 00:14:07.839
So instead of me, you'd be amazed how many statements you make versus how many questions that you ask.
00:14:08.168 --> 00:14:13.719
And so what grade would I give myself one to five on practicing curiosity?
00:14:13.958 --> 00:14:17.589
What did I learn above and beyond what I thought already knew.
00:14:18.068 --> 00:14:22.788
So sometimes you kind of get, you know, you're talking to somebody and they say, this is what I do for a living your like.
00:14:23.859 --> 00:14:24.609
What is that?
00:14:25.249 --> 00:14:30.859
Like I was talking to a firefighter today and he was telling me about how the drop program works.
00:14:30.859 --> 00:14:39.649
He's eligible for retirement, he's in his 25th year, he's eligible for full retirement at 33 and he gets in the drop program too.
00:14:39.828 --> 00:14:40.428
So it's.
00:14:40.999 --> 00:14:45.918
Um, so he gives 30 years and then he explained the drop instead of me just saying, oh, okay.
00:14:45.948 --> 00:14:46.548
That's cool.
00:14:46.908 --> 00:14:49.278
I said, well, what, what is the drop mean?
00:14:49.668 --> 00:14:52.369
And so he told me about that that's curiosity.
00:14:52.729 --> 00:14:53.719
Simple stuff.
00:14:54.318 --> 00:14:57.288
I, you know, I'm not in the drop program, I'm in the car business.
00:14:57.619 --> 00:14:58.009
Okay.
00:14:58.038 --> 00:14:59.509
But it's interesting.
00:15:00.078 --> 00:15:02.359
It's good to know and is something above and beyond.
00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:04.698
What I thought I already knew.
00:15:04.698 --> 00:15:05.119
I knew the.
00:15:05.538 --> 00:15:07.099
Kind of the concept of drop.
00:15:07.129 --> 00:15:08.389
I didn't really know what it meant.
00:15:09.288 --> 00:15:11.239
The third one is creativity.
00:15:11.308 --> 00:15:16.078
When you lacked resources, where you resourceful, did you use what you already had?
00:15:16.528 --> 00:15:23.129
I could whine and complain and ask for more things and wait for more things or can use what already have.
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:24.058
Right.
00:15:24.208 --> 00:15:26.339
Some of your most desperate moments you've already done.
00:15:26.339 --> 00:15:28.259
This you've practiced creativity.
00:15:28.379 --> 00:15:29.969
Nobody was there to help you out.
00:15:30.239 --> 00:15:33.178
You were on the side of the road, whatever, and you got creative.
00:15:33.178 --> 00:15:35.038
You figure things out, right.
00:15:35.369 --> 00:15:36.298
That's creativity.
00:15:36.298 --> 00:15:42.749
But sometimes man, We wait for these crises to kick in before we get creative.
00:15:43.168 --> 00:15:45.568
Sometimes man, it's just kind of putting those walls.
00:15:46.198 --> 00:15:47.278
In your day.
00:15:47.278 --> 00:15:50.908
So instead of saying, well, I mean, if I had this know, what do you have?
00:15:50.908 --> 00:15:51.958
How can you make it work?
00:15:52.678 --> 00:15:54.119
I started this podcast.
00:15:54.749 --> 00:15:55.859
on creativity.
00:15:56.158 --> 00:15:57.629
I didn't have sound equipment.
00:15:57.808 --> 00:15:58.948
I didn't have a computer.
00:15:58.979 --> 00:16:00.058
I had a cell phone.
00:16:00.778 --> 00:16:02.158
Luckily I paid my bill.
00:16:02.999 --> 00:16:08.908
So I started in my closet with a notepad and a cell phone and a free app.
00:16:08.938 --> 00:16:11.068
The anchor app that Spotify now owns.
00:16:11.548 --> 00:16:13.349
And I started a podcast.
00:16:13.469 --> 00:16:13.918
Boom.
00:16:14.489 --> 00:16:14.788
Okay.
00:16:14.788 --> 00:16:15.599
It was all free.
00:16:15.599 --> 00:16:18.538
Start with free work toward what you need, earn what you want.
00:16:18.749 --> 00:16:21.269
You don't need a whole bunch of stuff.
00:16:21.269 --> 00:16:22.349
You need to put the reps in.
00:16:22.528 --> 00:16:25.678
You need experience, you need repetitions.
00:16:25.739 --> 00:16:26.519
And then.
00:16:27.808 --> 00:16:28.948
You can level up from there.
00:16:30.298 --> 00:16:32.249
The fourth one is continuous learning.
00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:37.639
What specifically did I learn today and how did I apply it?
00:16:38.198 --> 00:16:46.149
In my daily reading, I like to walk around the parking lot because the gym I go to is in the parking lot of a grocery store.
00:16:46.178 --> 00:16:48.578
So it's a huge parking lot and it's super early in the morning.
00:16:48.578 --> 00:16:51.908
So nobody's out there so I can walk the entire light.
00:16:52.658 --> 00:16:55.599
With my Kindle and read, but what's cool.
00:16:55.599 --> 00:16:58.779
, is I like the Kindle because I can push play.
00:16:58.779 --> 00:17:04.240
And it reads to me while I look at the words so I can lift my head up, absorb it, think about it.
00:17:04.450 --> 00:17:05.019
Walk.
00:17:05.318 --> 00:17:06.159
Listen to it.
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:07.689
I'm warming up for the gym.
00:17:08.019 --> 00:17:12.309
And I'm also absorbing some knowledge, boom that's habit stacking.
00:17:12.669 --> 00:17:16.989
And then the game becomes, what did I learn that could be part of your writing.
00:17:17.229 --> 00:17:20.439
Where you interpret what you learned in that 15, 20 minutes.
00:17:20.858 --> 00:17:24.189
R it could be something that triggers another thought.
00:17:24.969 --> 00:17:29.739
If you don't have time to write it right then and there captured in your voice memo app, get to it later.
00:17:30.429 --> 00:17:32.469
And the fifth one is grade yourself.
00:17:32.469 --> 00:17:33.278
One to five.
00:17:33.278 --> 00:17:34.808
How well did I confront today?
00:17:34.808 --> 00:17:36.608
Confrontation has such a bad rap.
00:17:36.818 --> 00:17:38.078
It's not a bad thing at all.
00:17:38.199 --> 00:17:39.699
It's productive confrontation.
00:17:39.919 --> 00:17:43.189
Most of the confrontation that you're going to have is confronting with yourself.
00:17:44.338 --> 00:17:49.709
Those those times where you're kind of your ego steps in is, is you're gonna look stupid.
00:17:49.709 --> 00:17:52.798
If you do this, people are gonna laugh at you or it's not gonna work.
00:17:52.798 --> 00:17:55.169
So we like, oh, I'm not quite ready yet.
00:17:55.409 --> 00:17:57.838
No, just that's the confrontation side.
00:17:58.048 --> 00:18:00.148
You just push yourself to go do it.
00:18:00.628 --> 00:18:01.828
And do it right then and there.
00:18:02.159 --> 00:18:03.538
It's the hesitations.
00:18:03.838 --> 00:18:04.169
What?
00:18:04.169 --> 00:18:06.388
Mel Robbins has that five second rule.
00:18:06.449 --> 00:18:07.528
I love the five second rule.
00:18:07.528 --> 00:18:08.128
Great book.
00:18:08.548 --> 00:18:14.249
And basically what it is, is count from five to one once you get to one, you go, there's no more thinking about it.
00:18:14.878 --> 00:18:17.939
And so that five seconds give yourself five seconds and then boom.
00:18:18.088 --> 00:18:19.949
So it's these points of hesitation.
00:18:19.949 --> 00:18:24.808
These, these governors that we put in our life, in the moment, it doesn't seem like much.
00:18:24.808 --> 00:18:31.318
And you're like, ah, no big deal, no big deals end up big deals because things just layer on top of one another.
00:18:32.459 --> 00:18:36.959
And so this confrontation side of it is where you confront yourself and you're like, come on, man.
00:18:36.989 --> 00:18:37.588
Get this done.
00:18:37.798 --> 00:18:43.409
If there's something that you're procrastinating, confront that and say, look, this is, I just did it yesterday.
00:18:43.409 --> 00:18:45.058
I'm like, oh, you know, it's Saturday.
00:18:45.088 --> 00:18:46.318
There's some things I got to do.
00:18:46.499 --> 00:18:47.759
I just do it all Monday.
00:18:48.118 --> 00:18:48.989
And I said, look.
00:18:49.499 --> 00:18:51.269
How much time do you want to give to this?
00:18:51.358 --> 00:18:52.679
I don't want to give any, okay.
00:18:52.709 --> 00:18:54.659
Well, How long will it take you?
00:18:54.929 --> 00:18:55.798
It'll take you an hour.
00:18:56.249 --> 00:18:56.608
Okay.
00:18:56.638 --> 00:18:58.618
How much time do you want to give out of that hour?
00:18:59.278 --> 00:18:59.669
I don't know.
00:18:59.669 --> 00:19:02.489
I'll give you 15 minutes, set your timer for 15 minutes.
00:19:02.669 --> 00:19:12.479
Get as far as you can, what happens a lot of times is you get past that inertia that don't want to do you get things humming along then.
00:19:12.479 --> 00:19:13.858
You're kind of in this groove.
00:19:14.098 --> 00:19:17.308
And then when the timer goes off, you like, look another 10 minutes and I'm done.
00:19:17.308 --> 00:19:20.189
And then you have no carry over to the next day.
00:19:20.338 --> 00:19:20.999
Cool thing.
00:19:21.148 --> 00:19:22.169
That's confrontation.
00:19:22.378 --> 00:19:26.759
And then sometimes the confrontation is you got to have some conversations with somebody.
00:19:26.999 --> 00:19:28.288
You gotta have some.
00:19:28.318 --> 00:19:31.888
Some difficult eeky conversations, just get it out of the way.
00:19:32.068 --> 00:19:32.969
It's amazing, man.
00:19:32.999 --> 00:19:40.469
A lot of the stress that you have in life is because you're just kind of layering this procrastination on top of another thing.
00:19:40.739 --> 00:19:42.568
And so I'm going to get around to it.
00:19:42.909 --> 00:19:48.519
So we just build these things up, just get it out of the way, get it on the table, address it.
00:19:48.578 --> 00:19:53.798
It may not be all solved right then and there, but at least it's out for discussion itself.
00:19:53.949 --> 00:19:54.429
Okay.
00:19:54.939 --> 00:19:58.719
You know, I have a five minute rule that I've gotten away from.
00:19:58.798 --> 00:20:02.759
So I need to reapply that this is why I share these things because there.
00:20:03.388 --> 00:20:04.229
I get off track.
00:20:04.618 --> 00:20:09.689
And so if something takes five minutes, get it done instead of saying, oh, well, I'll load the dishwasher.
00:20:09.778 --> 00:20:10.648
You know, later on.
00:20:10.648 --> 00:20:13.469
I know, will it take less than five minutes?
00:20:13.739 --> 00:20:18.979
Yeah, probably take, like, to even like making my coffee for the next morning, dude.
00:20:19.068 --> 00:20:21.199
It takes like two minutes.
00:20:21.348 --> 00:20:25.159
So that way when I wake up in the morning, I'm filling up a cup of coffee.
00:20:25.489 --> 00:20:26.838
Hook the dogs up on the leash.
00:20:26.868 --> 00:20:29.989
We're going walking instead of making the coffee.
00:20:30.138 --> 00:20:32.298
But you know, there's all these extra steps in the morning.
00:20:32.298 --> 00:20:33.679
I'm already behind the eight ball.
00:20:34.038 --> 00:20:37.459
It's little stuff like this, man that just, we just get it out of the way.
00:20:38.298 --> 00:20:40.548
Those are the things that I'm talking about itself.
00:20:40.888 --> 00:20:42.118
See what I just told you.
00:20:42.538 --> 00:20:43.288
It's simple.
00:20:43.979 --> 00:20:45.028
It's productive.
00:20:45.719 --> 00:20:46.979
And it's flexible.
00:20:47.548 --> 00:20:49.019
So you can have both things.
00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:52.259
You could be productive, you can keep things super simple.
00:20:53.358 --> 00:20:54.739
And it's flexible.
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:57.199
I'm not so rigid that I'm sorry.
00:20:57.199 --> 00:20:58.098
I can't talk right now.
00:20:58.098 --> 00:21:00.169
I've got to get, you know, I'm on a stop clock here.
00:21:00.199 --> 00:21:04.189
Sometimes it's sometimes I think we, we either don't do anything at all.
00:21:04.848 --> 00:21:07.999
And just say, oh, well, I'm just going to kind of go with the flow.
00:21:08.419 --> 00:21:10.038
Are, were too rigid.
00:21:10.398 --> 00:21:13.759
And then we just start prophesied to people that ever buy.
00:21:13.878 --> 00:21:18.048
You got 10 minutes to get this done and there's, nobody can come to.
00:21:19.068 --> 00:21:19.729
Sometimes man.
00:21:19.729 --> 00:21:21.078
I think we're just a little too.
00:21:21.078 --> 00:21:22.848
And dude, I'm preaching to the choir.
00:21:23.118 --> 00:21:28.098
I can't tell you how many times I've gone to the gym because, and I had this time period.
00:21:28.159 --> 00:21:29.058
It is important.
00:21:29.219 --> 00:21:34.858
My time is limited, but I don't have to be a Dick and not communicate with anybody either.
00:21:35.219 --> 00:21:37.169
So be a little flexible man.
00:21:37.409 --> 00:21:42.868
And so I could get the workout in and then still catch up now for somebody that don't like, I will pop the ear buds in.
00:21:43.138 --> 00:21:44.068
And good to go from there.
00:21:45.449 --> 00:21:47.759
So, like I said, It's simple.
00:21:47.939 --> 00:21:48.838
It's productive.
00:21:49.138 --> 00:21:50.098
It's flexible.
00:21:51.148 --> 00:21:53.818
And it's a good little grade mark for you.
00:21:55.338 --> 00:21:57.108
Did I exercise the five skills?
00:21:58.659 --> 00:22:00.638
That keep me RFA ready for anything.
00:22:01.209 --> 00:22:05.469
Communication curiosity, creativity, continuous learning and action, productive confrontation.
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:10.659
I don't know everything, but I'm more equipped and I don't have to wait for a disaster.
00:22:10.659 --> 00:22:11.828
All of a sudden scramble.
00:22:12.459 --> 00:22:14.439
And start trying to get these skills together.
00:22:14.469 --> 00:22:20.709
No, it's just, this is just something that you'll, you'll never master it, but you can practice the mastery side of it.
00:22:20.949 --> 00:22:28.818
So it's the five skills that keep me RFA exercising those five skills and then practicing the five habits.
00:22:30.249 --> 00:22:31.328
These five habits.
00:22:31.778 --> 00:22:32.949
We'll make me wealthy.
00:22:33.368 --> 00:22:36.878
They're guaranteed wealth and I'm not talking about dollar bills.
00:22:36.878 --> 00:22:39.759
Y'all I'm talking about a six pack of wealth.
00:22:41.048 --> 00:22:41.798
Mentally.
00:22:42.219 --> 00:22:43.118
Physically.
00:22:43.419 --> 00:22:45.818
Emotionally spiritually.
00:22:46.868 --> 00:22:48.699
Financially relationally.
00:22:49.358 --> 00:22:52.989
You know, there's no sense in having a bunch of money, but you're an asshole to everybody.
00:22:52.989 --> 00:22:54.219
Nobody wants to be around you.
00:22:55.179 --> 00:22:57.068
Well that ain't gonna get you very far either.
00:22:57.338 --> 00:22:58.749
So it's a six pack of wealth.
00:22:58.749 --> 00:23:02.348
And when I had that six pack man, just like, I want to physically have the six pack.
00:23:02.749 --> 00:23:05.388
I want to have a six pack in all areas.
00:23:06.558 --> 00:23:09.439
And so practicing these five habits.
00:23:10.128 --> 00:23:12.469
And exercising these five skills.
00:23:13.618 --> 00:23:14.608
Makes me happy.
00:23:14.878 --> 00:23:17.788
And remember happiness is not a destination.
00:23:18.209 --> 00:23:19.019
It's a direction.
00:23:19.348 --> 00:23:19.769
All right.
00:23:19.979 --> 00:23:20.669

00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:44.358
Never settle.
00:23:44.358 --> 00:23:45.318
State tough peace.
00:00:00.390 --> 00:00:00.569
All right.
00:00:00.630 --> 00:00:01.199
3, 2, 1.
00:00:01.229 --> 00:00:01.770
Let's get it.
00:00:02.339 --> 00:00:04.919
Welcome to another episode of what's your problem?
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:05.730
The podcast.
00:00:05.730 --> 00:00:10.439
I'm your host Marsh Buice and today's topic five skills.
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:11.939
Five habits.
00:00:12.730 --> 00:00:14.500
And in my reflection this morning.
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:16.300
I wrote that.
00:00:17.509 --> 00:00:18.978
I don't want to live my life.
00:00:19.789 --> 00:00:21.169
Staring at a stopwatch.
00:00:22.318 --> 00:00:24.318
or envisioning a stopwatch.
00:00:24.919 --> 00:00:26.629
So focused on time.
00:00:28.818 --> 00:00:30.259
That I forget to enjoy the moment.
00:00:31.278 --> 00:00:34.459
Always just jumping from one moment to the next.
00:00:35.558 --> 00:00:38.079
Hurrying to get to the next leg.
00:00:39.189 --> 00:00:40.329
Of my daily race.
00:00:41.948 --> 00:00:44.079
I don't want to live on a stopwatch.
00:00:45.018 --> 00:00:46.548
But I do want to live my life.
00:00:47.118 --> 00:00:48.289
Through a process.
00:00:48.829 --> 00:00:50.719
Practicing five habits.
00:00:51.529 --> 00:00:52.698
While developing.
00:00:53.209 --> 00:00:56.659
Five lifetime skills and I call these lifetime skills.
00:00:57.959 --> 00:01:01.200
And those skills to practice in all areas of your life.
00:01:01.228 --> 00:01:03.569
Communication, curiosity, creativity.
00:01:04.170 --> 00:01:06.810
Continuous learning and action and productive confrontation.
00:01:07.349 --> 00:01:09.810
What I affectionately called the five CS.
00:01:11.049 --> 00:01:12.629
because they all start with the letter C.
00:01:12.629 --> 00:01:14.939
These are skills that I learned.
00:01:15.509 --> 00:01:16.259
In sales.
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:19.078
But in reflection.
00:01:20.289 --> 00:01:22.629
When I was trying to put my life back together.
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.968
in my, in my lowest moment in life.
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:29.899
The only thing I was winning in was sales.
00:01:30.558 --> 00:01:35.459
And so I said, what skills have made me successful in sales?
00:01:35.459 --> 00:01:43.469
Uh, communication, curiosity, creativity, continuous learning, and action, productive confrontation.
00:01:43.829 --> 00:01:45.780
You got to confront to be able to sell.
00:01:46.650 --> 00:01:48.239
Is everybody says they're just shopping.
00:01:48.629 --> 00:01:50.609
So, what are those skills?
00:01:51.030 --> 00:01:53.129
So I had to identify those five skills.
00:01:53.759 --> 00:01:55.920
And I said, man, that's crazy.
00:01:56.250 --> 00:02:00.500
Those are the same skills that I can apply in my life too.
00:02:01.769 --> 00:02:03.569
And so I took those skills.
00:02:04.170 --> 00:02:05.189
And applied them.
00:02:06.989 --> 00:02:10.020
To get myself out of some desperate situations.
00:02:10.620 --> 00:02:12.449
And get my life back on track.
00:02:13.750 --> 00:02:19.090
So I'm learning that it's possible for me to be present.
00:02:20.020 --> 00:02:20.979
In the moment.
00:02:21.430 --> 00:02:23.710
Soaking in everything that's around me.
00:02:25.419 --> 00:02:29.560
While at the same time being productive, it's not either, or it's both.
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:30.099
And.
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.469
And I want to share these with you because it's a reminder for me too.
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:37.969
There are five habits.
00:02:38.990 --> 00:02:41.449
That I use every single day.
00:02:43.349 --> 00:02:44.969
The first one is working out.
00:02:45.659 --> 00:02:46.949
I like to work out every day.
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.650
You don't have to work out every day, but you do have to stay active and moving.
00:02:53.099 --> 00:02:53.729
Every day.
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:54.930
All right.
00:02:55.259 --> 00:02:59.159
The gym for me is kind of my meditation area.
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.620
It's kind of the way I kind of get away from things.
00:03:02.069 --> 00:03:04.740
It's a way for me to, to clock a win.
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.050
And so I like doing that.
00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:09.870
I don't have to, but I like to do that.
00:03:09.939 --> 00:03:12.870
strength training is necessary as I get older.
00:03:13.469 --> 00:03:15.090
And so I incorporate that.
00:03:15.090 --> 00:03:16.199
Do I have to go every day?
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:16.740
No.
00:03:17.370 --> 00:03:18.509
But I do like that.
00:03:18.930 --> 00:03:22.259
But at least you got to get some sort of movement.
00:03:23.189 --> 00:03:24.150
Stay active.
00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:26.039
So for me, a symbol.
00:03:26.909 --> 00:03:29.069
Is to log 12,000 steps.
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:31.629
The 12,000 steps is just.
00:03:32.770 --> 00:03:34.000
It's arbitrary.
00:03:34.030 --> 00:03:35.439
You can do 8,000.
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.159
If you're not very active right now, build it to 10 bills to 12.
00:03:39.490 --> 00:03:39.550
You.
00:03:39.580 --> 00:03:42.039
You know, I've had thoughts of building it to 15.
00:03:42.729 --> 00:03:45.219
But I don't, again, I don't want to get so far.
00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:46.840
I've got to get my 15,000 steps in.
00:03:47.259 --> 00:03:52.210
So the 12 is kind of the in-between 10,000 is kind of the minimum.
00:03:52.870 --> 00:03:54.789
15 is kind of aggressive.
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.530
So it kind of settled for 12.
00:03:56.620 --> 00:03:58.360
Again, that's just a number I picked.
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.139
And so 12,000 steps is a pretty active day.
00:04:02.449 --> 00:04:03.500
So working out.
00:04:04.659 --> 00:04:06.219
Is a daily habit for me.
00:04:06.729 --> 00:04:07.960
The second one is writing.
00:04:09.500 --> 00:04:10.960
writing literally saved my life.
00:04:11.659 --> 00:04:14.069
i challenge you to write one page every day.
00:04:15.118 --> 00:04:16.528
The one page per day.
00:04:17.250 --> 00:04:19.350
It's just kind of a mind hack for me.
00:04:19.889 --> 00:04:22.529
And so I say, bro, you can't just write one page.
00:04:22.559 --> 00:04:23.939
I mean, one page on legal page.
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:25.319
That's all you gotta do.
00:04:25.350 --> 00:04:26.279
You can't write one.
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:27.329
You can't come up with something.
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.209
And so it's kind of minhag for me.
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.439
Where I sit down and say, look, I'm pressed for time.
00:04:34.829 --> 00:04:40.048
If I said 500 words or 750 words, some people say that, but then.
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:42.730
I think you get back into this.
00:04:44.230 --> 00:04:45.399
Numbers game.
00:04:46.329 --> 00:04:48.160
And you're so focused on the number.
00:04:48.699 --> 00:04:49.990
That you're really not.
00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:52.449
Enjoying.
00:04:53.350 --> 00:04:56.439
The process and I think your process should be enjoyable.
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.259
I think it should be a sense of satisfied satisfaction.
00:04:59.740 --> 00:05:01.839
I think it should be something that stretches you.
00:05:02.709 --> 00:05:04.629
But also, I think you should enjoy it.
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.120
If the enjoyment is just like.
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:07.899
Man.
00:05:07.899 --> 00:05:08.680
I got it in.
00:05:09.069 --> 00:05:12.670
So the one page per day, there are days that I only do one page.
00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:18.399
But most days it's a couple of pages, but this is a chance for you to unspool your thoughts.
00:05:19.069 --> 00:05:21.529
This is the only time that you're alone with yourself.
00:05:21.980 --> 00:05:26.720
Or maybe it's something that you're just expressing your creativity.
00:05:27.050 --> 00:05:30.920
So there could be some critical thinking or some creative thinking.
00:05:31.250 --> 00:05:32.089
Either way.
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.339
It's the only time that you're with yourself.
00:05:35.269 --> 00:05:37.129
So write at least one page.
00:05:37.430 --> 00:05:39.019
And what's great about writing.
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:40.250
Is.
00:05:41.209 --> 00:05:46.170
The, the mechanism of doing that versus typing, typing, you're going to self sensor.
00:05:46.620 --> 00:05:49.800
, recording is good to lay the tracks down.
00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:56.730
I do that, but also like to come behind and unpack those thoughts, kind of the recording part is kind of the shorthand for me.
00:05:57.149 --> 00:06:01.290
The writing part is the long form where actually unpack.
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.259
The initial thoughts and I recorded those thoughts.
00:06:04.259 --> 00:06:06.029
So I, so I wouldn't forget about them.
00:06:06.449 --> 00:06:08.910
So writing one page every single day.
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:11.490
, the third habit.
00:06:11.850 --> 00:06:13.050
That's important for me.
00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:14.730
Is to read.
00:06:16.170 --> 00:06:18.839
10 to 20 minutes of reading.
00:06:19.678 --> 00:06:23.668
Sometimes I like to take a random book and read just that one chapter.
00:06:23.730 --> 00:06:24.750
It's about 15 minutes.
00:06:25.408 --> 00:06:26.399
I'm not a fast reader.
00:06:28.168 --> 00:06:37.639
And I try to read it and then I sometimes write that and interpret what I read sometimes interpret what it means to me.
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:38.838
That really helps me.
00:06:38.838 --> 00:06:41.838
And I've shared many times on this podcast, something that I just wrote.
00:06:42.358 --> 00:06:43.918
So sometimes I'll do the random reading.
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.738
And lately I'm working through one book.
00:06:48.098 --> 00:06:49.899
And I'm just not really in that season.
00:06:49.899 --> 00:06:50.858
There's different seasons.
00:06:50.858 --> 00:06:52.658
Sometimes I'll bounce around and random books.
00:06:53.019 --> 00:06:56.408
And then sometimes I just want to dig in on one book and right now I'm reading.
00:06:57.218 --> 00:06:59.108
Uh, gay Hendricks is book.
00:06:59.538 --> 00:07:00.228
Conscious living.
00:07:01.218 --> 00:07:02.689
And I really like it.
00:07:02.778 --> 00:07:05.658
And so I'll probably anchor on that boat for about a week.
00:07:07.189 --> 00:07:09.528
Once I'm tired of it, then I just go onto something else.
00:07:09.738 --> 00:07:11.629
But reading is super important.
00:07:11.689 --> 00:07:14.088
Reading can be also done through the ears.
00:07:14.088 --> 00:07:18.769
So if it's something that at least that you're learning something, don't go to shorts.
00:07:18.978 --> 00:07:22.009
Don't go to tik toks That's kind of occupying your time.
00:07:22.038 --> 00:07:23.988
You're not really investing in that.
00:07:24.048 --> 00:07:29.178
You need some investing and whether you like to read through the ears and you listen to audio book.
00:07:29.538 --> 00:07:32.389
Or maybe some long form of a podcast.
00:07:32.629 --> 00:07:33.319
What's your problems?
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:33.798
Good one.
00:07:34.098 --> 00:07:35.718
Or maybe it's a YouTube video.
00:07:36.278 --> 00:07:37.928
A masterclass, whatever.
00:07:38.288 --> 00:07:42.608
I like to read because this actually strengthens my focus muscles.
00:07:42.608 --> 00:07:45.819
Sometimes they get a little add, I get a little skizzed out I'm always jumping around.
00:07:45.848 --> 00:07:47.829
When I find I kind of get a little erratic like that.
00:07:48.278 --> 00:07:52.988
Then it's a way for me to just like slow the slow the world down.
00:07:53.228 --> 00:07:57.158
Sometimes, man, we just, we, we fill our days with a bunch of busy-ness.
00:07:57.608 --> 00:07:59.889
And we're just kind of worn out mentally.
00:07:59.918 --> 00:08:05.228
And the reason being is because you've got all these track changes that you're doing all throughout the day.
00:08:05.619 --> 00:08:07.928
So that reading is, is that aspect of it.
00:08:08.379 --> 00:08:13.418
The fourth habit that I like to practice every single day is share, share something of value.
00:08:13.418 --> 00:08:22.749
This is what this is a lot of times on my Instagram stories, I'll write something and then I'll share what I just wrote that sometimes comes out of the podcast.
00:08:23.028 --> 00:08:30.769
And what I'm sharing with you right now is something that is shared on my Instagram story this morning, kind of the rough draft while I was walking while I was thinking these things out.
00:08:32.058 --> 00:08:34.219
The fifth one is shaped my expectations.
00:08:34.698 --> 00:08:46.609
I used to call it, design it, design my day, design, what I'm going to wear, design what I'm going to eat, but I think more so it's shaping my expectation and you're living either up or down to your expectations.
00:08:47.028 --> 00:08:51.078
If you have no expectations for the day, then you're living down to your expectations.
00:08:51.078 --> 00:08:52.578
You're just a paper bag in the wind.
00:08:52.818 --> 00:09:00.719
You're just kind of wandering alone, but you got no clear direction when you set the expectation, man, you set the bar and so then you strive.
00:09:01.168 --> 00:09:01.979
To hit that bar.
00:09:01.979 --> 00:09:04.259
So what are your expectations for the day?
00:09:04.438 --> 00:09:05.428
Just a couple of things.
00:09:05.428 --> 00:09:06.599
Doesn't have to be anything.
00:09:06.599 --> 00:09:07.198
Elaborate.
00:09:07.678 --> 00:09:11.698
And then also shape the expectations that align with your life.
00:09:12.038 --> 00:09:14.828
These are those habits that keep me aligned.
00:09:15.129 --> 00:09:17.798
I'm not a big goal oriented person.
00:09:18.188 --> 00:09:23.649
Oh, I've got to be, you know, here in five years, I don't really look at it so much like that.
00:09:23.678 --> 00:09:26.139
Some people that works great for them, for me.
00:09:26.469 --> 00:09:31.178
I am a fly by the seat of your pants, kind of guy that has worked very well on sales.
00:09:31.479 --> 00:09:39.278
I do have to zoom it out a little bit, but it's more so working a process that's in alignment with the direction that I want to go.
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:51.009
So those are habits you can, you can use these habits if they work for you I would just say, just put in a few things, at least write, read, and work out.
00:09:51.038 --> 00:09:52.538
Just those three things there.
00:09:52.538 --> 00:09:54.818
If you're not ready to share something, then you don't have to.
00:09:55.028 --> 00:10:00.578
I believe everybody's a, bad-ass at something everybody's an expert at something share what's worked for you.
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.899
Don't just read something and then, you know, tell us what we should do yet.
00:10:04.899 --> 00:10:06.609
You haven't applied it to your own life.
00:10:06.938 --> 00:10:11.109
Read something, go , live it, apply it over and over again.
00:10:11.408 --> 00:10:13.599
And then man, tell us all about the results.
00:10:13.869 --> 00:10:16.119
That's what, that's what the world needs, man.
00:10:16.328 --> 00:10:17.948
And the world needs to hear from you.
00:10:18.038 --> 00:10:30.339
But if you're not ready for that, you can write it out in a, in a quote, you can write it out in a, in a, in a blog, whatever works for you, man, you could put it into a song doesn't matter, whatever works for you.
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.009
And that's expressing the creativity that I'll talk about in a minute.
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:40.808
So that's the, that's the five habits that are really, that are really like, so I can be productive.
00:10:41.499 --> 00:10:45.278
And get some things done that keep me humming along throughout the day.
00:10:45.578 --> 00:10:50.139
But I'm not so chained to this process that I can't pick up my head.
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:52.629
And that's, what's important.
00:10:52.629 --> 00:10:56.558
These things have to be aligned yet flexible as well.
00:10:57.009 --> 00:11:01.448
Now there are five skills, lifetime skills that you need.
00:11:01.958 --> 00:11:03.369
I learned them in sales.
00:11:04.028 --> 00:11:06.158
Sales is a profession selling.
00:11:06.849 --> 00:11:07.749
There's a life skill.
00:11:08.048 --> 00:11:09.849
And the five skills.
00:11:10.208 --> 00:11:11.649
That make you effective.
00:11:12.038 --> 00:11:16.028
In sales are the same five skills that's going to keep you.
00:11:16.448 --> 00:11:18.788
Effective and progressive in life.
00:11:19.418 --> 00:11:21.788
These skills I've implied, these skills.
00:11:22.239 --> 00:11:25.749
But I've never really sat down and kind of.
00:11:26.379 --> 00:11:30.788
Gave myself a grade on these kind of use it as a reflecting moment.
00:11:31.989 --> 00:11:34.778
So what I'm going to start doing that I want to share with you.
00:11:35.259 --> 00:11:36.009
Is.
00:11:36.999 --> 00:11:42.519
Given myself a grade, one to five on each one of these skills on how I did the day.
00:11:42.818 --> 00:11:43.958
It's not right or wrong.
00:11:44.019 --> 00:11:45.938
It's more so of an awareness.
00:11:46.359 --> 00:11:48.219
The first one is communication.
00:11:49.369 --> 00:11:52.849
I would give myself at the end of the day, Or in the morning.
00:11:53.239 --> 00:12:00.168
Recapping yesterday, this, this might be the time that you want to give yourself some, some thinking time, some writing time.
00:12:00.168 --> 00:12:04.818
So if you don't want to write something for a podcast, Then this would be that.
00:12:05.119 --> 00:12:07.938
One-on-one time for you, this critical thinking.
00:12:08.359 --> 00:12:11.418
And so you look at it and say, okay, communication.
00:12:11.719 --> 00:12:19.908
How well did I communicate today on a scale from one to five, five being the best one being not so good again, it's not to beat yourself up.
00:12:19.938 --> 00:12:23.298
It's to bring an awareness into everything that you're doing.
00:12:23.599 --> 00:12:27.168
So the communication side of it, how well did I communicate?
00:12:27.769 --> 00:12:28.249
Yesterday.
00:12:28.249 --> 00:12:29.538
I give myself probably.
00:12:30.168 --> 00:12:31.458
Uh, three, three and a half.
00:12:32.058 --> 00:12:33.469
Because I say.
00:12:34.339 --> 00:12:35.658
At first I said a three.
00:12:36.048 --> 00:12:43.099
Because I have a new manager that I've been working with all week and yesterday was a Saturday.
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.708
And so we'd been working together all week.
00:12:45.918 --> 00:12:49.278
And so I was more so focused on what my daily task was.
00:12:49.548 --> 00:12:52.249
I didn't train as much as I did during the week.
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.028
So I kind of left her to kind of do things on her own.
00:12:56.599 --> 00:12:58.969
I really should have checked in a little bit more.
00:12:59.458 --> 00:13:01.558
I do believe in autonomy.
00:13:01.589 --> 00:13:04.349
I do believe in people figuring things out.
00:13:04.678 --> 00:13:11.668
And so she had enough to figure things out, but I should have during the day not been so busy that it didn't check in it.
00:13:11.698 --> 00:13:13.019
Should've checked in a little bit more.
00:13:13.288 --> 00:13:13.678
Okay.
00:13:14.038 --> 00:13:21.089
But I give myself a three and a half because when I went to the gym yesterday morning, A buddy of mine was in there.
00:13:21.599 --> 00:13:27.269
And so instead of me popping the ear buds in that I've done so many times before, because I didn't feel like talking to anybody.
00:13:27.839 --> 00:13:29.129
I left a year buds out.
00:13:29.668 --> 00:13:32.099
And I stayed on task.
00:13:32.129 --> 00:13:34.769
I got my workout in, he got his workout in.
00:13:35.278 --> 00:13:37.739
But we talked at the same time we caught up.
00:13:37.979 --> 00:13:39.599
So that's why I give myself three and a half.
00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:42.328
And you can just grade yourself on each one of these categories.
00:13:42.599 --> 00:13:43.619
Curiosity.
00:13:44.099 --> 00:13:49.438
Some questions to ask yourself is, what statements that I turned into questions?
00:13:49.769 --> 00:13:54.269
Instead of just me railing out my opinion, saying something's not going to work.
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.109
Could I turn it into a question?
00:13:57.548 --> 00:13:58.749
Well, tell me more about that.
00:13:59.558 --> 00:14:00.399
How would you do it?
00:14:01.749 --> 00:14:03.249
Just to just a general thing.
00:14:03.249 --> 00:14:07.839
So instead of me, you'd be amazed how many statements you make versus how many questions that you ask.
00:14:08.168 --> 00:14:13.719
And so what grade would I give myself one to five on practicing curiosity?
00:14:13.958 --> 00:14:17.589
What did I learn above and beyond what I thought already knew.
00:14:18.068 --> 00:14:22.788
So sometimes you kind of get, you know, you're talking to somebody and they say, this is what I do for a living your like.
00:14:23.859 --> 00:14:24.609
What is that?
00:14:25.249 --> 00:14:30.859
Like I was talking to a firefighter today and he was telling me about how the drop program works.
00:14:30.859 --> 00:14:39.649
He's eligible for retirement, he's in his 25th year, he's eligible for full retirement at 33 and he gets in the drop program too.
00:14:39.828 --> 00:14:40.428
So it's.
00:14:40.999 --> 00:14:45.918
Um, so he gives 30 years and then he explained the drop instead of me just saying, oh, okay.
00:14:45.948 --> 00:14:46.548
That's cool.
00:14:46.908 --> 00:14:49.278
I said, well, what, what is the drop mean?
00:14:49.668 --> 00:14:52.369
And so he told me about that that's curiosity.
00:14:52.729 --> 00:14:53.719
Simple stuff.
00:14:54.318 --> 00:14:57.288
I, you know, I'm not in the drop program, I'm in the car business.
00:14:57.619 --> 00:14:58.009
Okay.
00:14:58.038 --> 00:14:59.509
But it's interesting.
00:15:00.078 --> 00:15:02.359
It's good to know and is something above and beyond.
00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:04.698
What I thought I already knew.
00:15:04.698 --> 00:15:05.119
I knew the.
00:15:05.538 --> 00:15:07.099
Kind of the concept of drop.
00:15:07.129 --> 00:15:08.389
I didn't really know what it meant.
00:15:09.288 --> 00:15:11.239
The third one is creativity.
00:15:11.308 --> 00:15:16.078
When you lacked resources, where you resourceful, did you use what you already had?
00:15:16.528 --> 00:15:23.129
I could whine and complain and ask for more things and wait for more things or can use what already have.
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:24.058
Right.
00:15:24.208 --> 00:15:26.339
Some of your most desperate moments you've already done.
00:15:26.339 --> 00:15:28.259
This you've practiced creativity.
00:15:28.379 --> 00:15:29.969
Nobody was there to help you out.
00:15:30.239 --> 00:15:33.178
You were on the side of the road, whatever, and you got creative.
00:15:33.178 --> 00:15:35.038
You figure things out, right.
00:15:35.369 --> 00:15:36.298
That's creativity.
00:15:36.298 --> 00:15:42.749
But sometimes man, We wait for these crises to kick in before we get creative.
00:15:43.168 --> 00:15:45.568
Sometimes man, it's just kind of putting those walls.
00:15:46.198 --> 00:15:47.278
In your day.
00:15:47.278 --> 00:15:50.908
So instead of saying, well, I mean, if I had this know, what do you have?
00:15:50.908 --> 00:15:51.958
How can you make it work?
00:15:52.678 --> 00:15:54.119
I started this podcast.
00:15:54.749 --> 00:15:55.859
on creativity.
00:15:56.158 --> 00:15:57.629
I didn't have sound equipment.
00:15:57.808 --> 00:15:58.948
I didn't have a computer.
00:15:58.979 --> 00:16:00.058
I had a cell phone.
00:16:00.778 --> 00:16:02.158
Luckily I paid my bill.
00:16:02.999 --> 00:16:08.908
So I started in my closet with a notepad and a cell phone and a free app.
00:16:08.938 --> 00:16:11.068
The anchor app that Spotify now owns.
00:16:11.548 --> 00:16:13.349
And I started a podcast.
00:16:13.469 --> 00:16:13.918
Boom.
00:16:14.489 --> 00:16:14.788
Okay.
00:16:14.788 --> 00:16:15.599
It was all free.
00:16:15.599 --> 00:16:18.538
Start with free work toward what you need, earn what you want.
00:16:18.749 --> 00:16:21.269
You don't need a whole bunch of stuff.
00:16:21.269 --> 00:16:22.349
You need to put the reps in.
00:16:22.528 --> 00:16:25.678
You need experience, you need repetitions.
00:16:25.739 --> 00:16:26.519
And then.
00:16:27.808 --> 00:16:28.948
You can level up from there.
00:16:30.298 --> 00:16:32.249
The fourth one is continuous learning.
00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:37.639
What specifically did I learn today and how did I apply it?
00:16:38.198 --> 00:16:46.149
In my daily reading, I like to walk around the parking lot because the gym I go to is in the parking lot of a grocery store.
00:16:46.178 --> 00:16:48.578
So it's a huge parking lot and it's super early in the morning.
00:16:48.578 --> 00:16:51.908
So nobody's out there so I can walk the entire light.
00:16:52.658 --> 00:16:55.599
With my Kindle and read, but what's cool.
00:16:55.599 --> 00:16:58.779
, is I like the Kindle because I can push play.
00:16:58.779 --> 00:17:04.240
And it reads to me while I look at the words so I can lift my head up, absorb it, think about it.
00:17:04.450 --> 00:17:05.019
Walk.
00:17:05.318 --> 00:17:06.159
Listen to it.
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:07.689
I'm warming up for the gym.
00:17:08.019 --> 00:17:12.309
And I'm also absorbing some knowledge, boom that's habit stacking.
00:17:12.669 --> 00:17:16.989
And then the game becomes, what did I learn that could be part of your writing.
00:17:17.229 --> 00:17:20.439
Where you interpret what you learned in that 15, 20 minutes.
00:17:20.858 --> 00:17:24.189
R it could be something that triggers another thought.
00:17:24.969 --> 00:17:29.739
If you don't have time to write it right then and there captured in your voice memo app, get to it later.
00:17:30.429 --> 00:17:32.469
And the fifth one is grade yourself.
00:17:32.469 --> 00:17:33.278
One to five.
00:17:33.278 --> 00:17:34.808
How well did I confront today?
00:17:34.808 --> 00:17:36.608
Confrontation has such a bad rap.
00:17:36.818 --> 00:17:38.078
It's not a bad thing at all.
00:17:38.199 --> 00:17:39.699
It's productive confrontation.
00:17:39.919 --> 00:17:43.189
Most of the confrontation that you're going to have is confronting with yourself.
00:17:44.338 --> 00:17:49.709
Those those times where you're kind of your ego steps in is, is you're gonna look stupid.
00:17:49.709 --> 00:17:52.798
If you do this, people are gonna laugh at you or it's not gonna work.
00:17:52.798 --> 00:17:55.169
So we like, oh, I'm not quite ready yet.
00:17:55.409 --> 00:17:57.838
No, just that's the confrontation side.
00:17:58.048 --> 00:18:00.148
You just push yourself to go do it.
00:18:00.628 --> 00:18:01.828
And do it right then and there.
00:18:02.159 --> 00:18:03.538
It's the hesitations.
00:18:03.838 --> 00:18:04.169
What?
00:18:04.169 --> 00:18:06.388
Mel Robbins has that five second rule.
00:18:06.449 --> 00:18:07.528
I love the five second rule.
00:18:07.528 --> 00:18:08.128
Great book.
00:18:08.548 --> 00:18:14.249
And basically what it is, is count from five to one once you get to one, you go, there's no more thinking about it.
00:18:14.878 --> 00:18:17.939
And so that five seconds give yourself five seconds and then boom.
00:18:18.088 --> 00:18:19.949
So it's these points of hesitation.
00:18:19.949 --> 00:18:24.808
These, these governors that we put in our life, in the moment, it doesn't seem like much.
00:18:24.808 --> 00:18:31.318
And you're like, ah, no big deal, no big deals end up big deals because things just layer on top of one another.
00:18:32.459 --> 00:18:36.959
And so this confrontation side of it is where you confront yourself and you're like, come on, man.
00:18:36.989 --> 00:18:37.588
Get this done.
00:18:37.798 --> 00:18:43.409
If there's something that you're procrastinating, confront that and say, look, this is, I just did it yesterday.
00:18:43.409 --> 00:18:45.058
I'm like, oh, you know, it's Saturday.
00:18:45.088 --> 00:18:46.318
There's some things I got to do.
00:18:46.499 --> 00:18:47.759
I just do it all Monday.
00:18:48.118 --> 00:18:48.989
And I said, look.
00:18:49.499 --> 00:18:51.269
How much time do you want to give to this?
00:18:51.358 --> 00:18:52.679
I don't want to give any, okay.
00:18:52.709 --> 00:18:54.659
Well, How long will it take you?
00:18:54.929 --> 00:18:55.798
It'll take you an hour.
00:18:56.249 --> 00:18:56.608
Okay.
00:18:56.638 --> 00:18:58.618
How much time do you want to give out of that hour?
00:18:59.278 --> 00:18:59.669
I don't know.
00:18:59.669 --> 00:19:02.489
I'll give you 15 minutes, set your timer for 15 minutes.
00:19:02.669 --> 00:19:12.479
Get as far as you can, what happens a lot of times is you get past that inertia that don't want to do you get things humming along then.
00:19:12.479 --> 00:19:13.858
You're kind of in this groove.
00:19:14.098 --> 00:19:17.308
And then when the timer goes off, you like, look another 10 minutes and I'm done.
00:19:17.308 --> 00:19:20.189
And then you have no carry over to the next day.
00:19:20.338 --> 00:19:20.999
Cool thing.
00:19:21.148 --> 00:19:22.169
That's confrontation.
00:19:22.378 --> 00:19:26.759
And then sometimes the confrontation is you got to have some conversations with somebody.
00:19:26.999 --> 00:19:28.288
You gotta have some.
00:19:28.318 --> 00:19:31.888
Some difficult eeky conversations, just get it out of the way.
00:19:32.068 --> 00:19:32.969
It's amazing, man.
00:19:32.999 --> 00:19:40.469
A lot of the stress that you have in life is because you're just kind of layering this procrastination on top of another thing.
00:19:40.739 --> 00:19:42.568
And so I'm going to get around to it.
00:19:42.909 --> 00:19:48.519
So we just build these things up, just get it out of the way, get it on the table, address it.
00:19:48.578 --> 00:19:53.798
It may not be all solved right then and there, but at least it's out for discussion itself.
00:19:53.949 --> 00:19:54.429
Okay.
00:19:54.939 --> 00:19:58.719
You know, I have a five minute rule that I've gotten away from.
00:19:58.798 --> 00:20:02.759
So I need to reapply that this is why I share these things because there.
00:20:03.388 --> 00:20:04.229
I get off track.
00:20:04.618 --> 00:20:09.689
And so if something takes five minutes, get it done instead of saying, oh, well, I'll load the dishwasher.
00:20:09.778 --> 00:20:10.648
You know, later on.
00:20:10.648 --> 00:20:13.469
I know, will it take less than five minutes?
00:20:13.739 --> 00:20:18.979
Yeah, probably take, like, to even like making my coffee for the next morning, dude.
00:20:19.068 --> 00:20:21.199
It takes like two minutes.
00:20:21.348 --> 00:20:25.159
So that way when I wake up in the morning, I'm filling up a cup of coffee.
00:20:25.489 --> 00:20:26.838
Hook the dogs up on the leash.
00:20:26.868 --> 00:20:29.989
We're going walking instead of making the coffee.
00:20:30.138 --> 00:20:32.298
But you know, there's all these extra steps in the morning.
00:20:32.298 --> 00:20:33.679
I'm already behind the eight ball.
00:20:34.038 --> 00:20:37.459
It's little stuff like this, man that just, we just get it out of the way.
00:20:38.298 --> 00:20:40.548
Those are the things that I'm talking about itself.
00:20:40.888 --> 00:20:42.118
See what I just told you.
00:20:42.538 --> 00:20:43.288
It's simple.
00:20:43.979 --> 00:20:45.028
It's productive.
00:20:45.719 --> 00:20:46.979
And it's flexible.
00:20:47.548 --> 00:20:49.019
So you can have both things.
00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:52.259
You could be productive, you can keep things super simple.
00:20:53.358 --> 00:20:54.739
And it's flexible.
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:57.199
I'm not so rigid that I'm sorry.
00:20:57.199 --> 00:20:58.098
I can't talk right now.
00:20:58.098 --> 00:21:00.169
I've got to get, you know, I'm on a stop clock here.
00:21:00.199 --> 00:21:04.189
Sometimes it's sometimes I think we, we either don't do anything at all.
00:21:04.848 --> 00:21:07.999
And just say, oh, well, I'm just going to kind of go with the flow.
00:21:08.419 --> 00:21:10.038
Are, were too rigid.
00:21:10.398 --> 00:21:13.759
And then we just start prophesied to people that ever buy.
00:21:13.878 --> 00:21:18.048
You got 10 minutes to get this done and there's, nobody can come to.
00:21:19.068 --> 00:21:19.729
Sometimes man.
00:21:19.729 --> 00:21:21.078
I think we're just a little too.
00:21:21.078 --> 00:21:22.848
And dude, I'm preaching to the choir.
00:21:23.118 --> 00:21:28.098
I can't tell you how many times I've gone to the gym because, and I had this time period.
00:21:28.159 --> 00:21:29.058
It is important.
00:21:29.219 --> 00:21:34.858
My time is limited, but I don't have to be a Dick and not communicate with anybody either.
00:21:35.219 --> 00:21:37.169
So be a little flexible man.
00:21:37.409 --> 00:21:42.868
And so I could get the workout in and then still catch up now for somebody that don't like, I will pop the ear buds in.
00:21:43.138 --> 00:21:44.068
And good to go from there.
00:21:45.449 --> 00:21:47.759
So, like I said, It's simple.
00:21:47.939 --> 00:21:48.838
It's productive.
00:21:49.138 --> 00:21:50.098
It's flexible.
00:21:51.148 --> 00:21:53.818
And it's a good little grade mark for you.
00:21:55.338 --> 00:21:57.108
Did I exercise the five skills?
00:21:58.659 --> 00:22:00.638
That keep me RFA ready for anything.
00:22:01.209 --> 00:22:05.469
Communication curiosity, creativity, continuous learning and action, productive confrontation.
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:10.659
I don't know everything, but I'm more equipped and I don't have to wait for a disaster.
00:22:10.659 --> 00:22:11.828
All of a sudden scramble.
00:22:12.459 --> 00:22:14.439
And start trying to get these skills together.
00:22:14.469 --> 00:22:20.709
No, it's just, this is just something that you'll, you'll never master it, but you can practice the mastery side of it.
00:22:20.949 --> 00:22:28.818
So it's the five skills that keep me RFA exercising those five skills and then practicing the five habits.
00:22:30.249 --> 00:22:31.328
These five habits.
00:22:31.778 --> 00:22:32.949
We'll make me wealthy.
00:22:33.368 --> 00:22:36.878
They're guaranteed wealth and I'm not talking about dollar bills.
00:22:36.878 --> 00:22:39.759
Y'all I'm talking about a six pack of wealth.
00:22:41.048 --> 00:22:41.798
Mentally.
00:22:42.219 --> 00:22:43.118
Physically.
00:22:43.419 --> 00:22:45.818
Emotionally spiritually.
00:22:46.868 --> 00:22:48.699
Financially relationally.
00:22:49.358 --> 00:22:52.989
You know, there's no sense in having a bunch of money, but you're an asshole to everybody.
00:22:52.989 --> 00:22:54.219
Nobody wants to be around you.
00:22:55.179 --> 00:22:57.068
Well that ain't gonna get you very far either.
00:22:57.338 --> 00:22:58.749
So it's a six pack of wealth.
00:22:58.749 --> 00:23:02.348
And when I had that six pack man, just like, I want to physically have the six pack.
00:23:02.749 --> 00:23:05.388
I want to have a six pack in all areas.
00:23:06.558 --> 00:23:09.439
And so practicing these five habits.
00:23:10.128 --> 00:23:12.469
And exercising these five skills.
00:23:13.618 --> 00:23:14.608
Makes me happy.
00:23:14.878 --> 00:23:17.788
And remember happiness is not a destination.
00:23:18.209 --> 00:23:19.019
It's a direction.
00:23:19.348 --> 00:23:19.769
All right.
