0:47
For some reason, there we go, it looks
0:50
like we're back, might have been a feed
0:51
issue there.
0:52
Sometimes when we go mobile and we connect
0:53
to wireless networks, sometimes that can happen.
0:56
So again, it is great to be with
0:57
you here on the Inspirations for Your Life
1:01
show.
1:02
I do thank you for joining me.
1:04
Guys, if this is your very first time
1:06
here on the show, I want to say
1:08
thank you.
1:08
And of course, I want to say welcome.
1:10
If you've been here many times before, of
1:12
course, I want to say welcome back and
1:15
thank you for choosing to be part of
1:18
the show.
1:19
So this whole week is about mastering the
1:22
talk of owning your focus at Series 5
1:25
and the Show 14.
1:26
We'll get into more details in just a
1:28
moment.
1:28
I'm here on campus by the old grill,
1:32
which you can see just behind me that's
1:34
no longer in operation.
1:37
If you guys are hungry or if you're
1:38
thirsty, feel free to go grab something.
1:40
I don't want you to be famished or
1:41
thirsty while the show is going on.
1:44
Feel free to check out BelieveMeAchieved.com.
1:46
That is after the show is over, not
1:48
now, of course.
1:49
All right, guys, without any further ado, let's
1:51
kick this off.
1:53
All right, guys, so this is Inspirations for
1:55
Your Life.
1:56
Who am I?
1:56
Well, that's a great question.
1:57
I'm John C.
1:58
Morley.
1:59
I'm a serial entrepreneur.
2:00
I'm an engineer, marketing specialist, video producer, podcast
2:03
host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student, and a
2:06
passionate lifelong learner.
2:09
And guys, in less than 17 days, I'm
2:15
a published author.
2:16
My book is done.
2:17
It's going to press next week, but that's
2:19
actually when the book dedication will be made
2:21
to my parents.
2:22
So really excited about that.
2:24
The book is 14 chapters.
2:27
It has three appendices.
2:28
Each chapter will take you roughly 30 minutes
2:30
to get through, including the PNR, the pause
2:33
and reflect.
2:34
And then the three appendices are three of
2:36
my techniques that I use often that I've
2:39
decided to share with you, which I think
2:40
will make the book even more valuable.
2:42
All right, guys, so yeah, this is another
2:45
great show.
2:46
And we're here to sharpen your perception, act
2:48
decisively, and maintain momentum through intentional choices.
2:51
Now, I have to let you know, because
2:52
we are on a call list, we might
2:55
get interruptions, we might get sounds.
2:56
This is not a protected studio.
2:58
So, of course, the benefit of broadcasting outside,
3:02
but also the disadvantage is, well, we could
3:04
get interruptions.
3:05
So hopefully we won't.
3:06
We're in a nice, quiet area.
3:09
Like I said, next to this, it's not
3:10
used anymore.
3:11
So we're kind of off the beaten path.
3:13
Guys, it's all about seeing opportunities others miss.
3:16
Thinking clearly, learning small.
3:22
Address.
3:23
Yes, guys, this is Monday.
3:25
In case you didn't know, it is Monday,
3:27
26.
3:29
What does that mean to everyone?
3:30
Well, that means that pretty soon we will
3:33
be in the month of April.
3:37
I can hardly believe that we are going
3:39
to be in the month of April in
3:42
just a little bit.
3:43
So, again, another great show.
3:46
It's about deciding fast, executing faster.
3:49
The noise you're hearing is some, basically, golf
3:52
carts going by.
3:52
They have them on campus here.
3:53
So decide faster, execute faster.
3:57
So decide fast and execute faster.
3:58
It's Series 5, Show 14, Episode 3.
4:02
Let's dive right in.
4:03
Number one, action beats intention.
4:07
Doing transforms ideas into full momentum.
4:12
And I think a lot of people think
4:13
of things, and although thoughts are great, we
4:18
have to act upon our thoughts.
4:20
We have to take action.
4:22
I'll give an example.
4:23
A set of new modules for some software
4:26
that we're writing.
4:28
And, you know, just thinking about it isn't
4:31
going to do anything.
4:31
I have to get it on paper.
4:34
I have to get it in the computer.
4:36
I have to get it into a format
4:37
that I can explain to other people.
4:40
And we can make, all right, guys, so
4:42
action beats intention.
4:43
Doing transforms ideas, basically, into momentum.
4:49
Now, I'm not saying intention isn't good.
4:51
Intention is good, but we have to realize
4:53
that just intention alone will not get us
4:56
to take actions when they surface.
4:58
Number two, guys, decide promptly.
5:01
Adjust later.
5:03
Start moving before perfect.
5:04
A lot of people tell me, John, you
5:05
know, I want to get going, but I
5:07
can't because I'm not perfect.
5:09
So I got a newsflash for you.
5:11
So done is better than perfect.
5:13
You can always refine.
5:14
You can always retune.
5:15
Even with my book, the book is finally
5:17
done.
5:17
But, you know, there were so many times
5:20
when I was like, it's not perfect yet,
5:21
which is OK.
5:22
I can keep working on it and have
5:24
something in progress.
5:25
And now I have a final book.
5:27
We're just working on our our caricatures and
5:29
kind of the graphics.
5:30
The book is black and white.
5:32
The cover and back is color.
5:34
But there's going to be some graphics in
5:36
the beginning of each chapter.
5:38
All right, guys, execution creates clarity in action
5:41
number three.
5:42
And it clarifies the next steps that we
5:45
need to take in our lives.
5:47
So let's dump it for it's a number
5:50
for start small scale.
5:53
Fast micro actions to scale fast.
5:56
We need to take these micro actions that
5:58
are actually going to make sense for us
6:00
and that are intentional.
6:02
Right.
6:03
So micro actions, competent results again, start small,
6:06
scale fast, motions, competent results.
6:08
Keep doing this over and over and over
6:10
again.
6:10
And by you doing it over and over
6:11
again, you know what happens?
6:12
You're going to get the compounded result.
6:15
OK, very similar to insurance and things like
6:17
that.
6:18
And also, you know, your bank accounts.
6:19
Right.
6:19
When you put money away.
6:21
Number five, momentum grows with the effort we
6:24
take.
6:24
I don't care if it's a little bit
6:25
effort, a lot of effort, but we want
6:27
to be consistent in the effort we take.
6:29
And that motion as fuels our progress.
6:32
If we take a little effort today and
6:34
then we drop back, that's we want to
6:37
keep the same amount of consistent effort going.
6:40
All the time.
6:41
All right.
6:41
That is very, very key.
6:42
Number six, guys.
6:43
Beautiful breeze here today.
6:45
Depending on when you're watching this, if it's
6:47
live or if you're watching it later on
6:49
or listen to it.
6:50
Number six is overcome hesitation.
6:53
OK, break inertia to find advantage.
6:58
Sometimes you have to break the force a
7:00
little bit so you can figure out the
7:03
right thing to do.
7:04
Number seven, guys.
7:06
Prioritize movement over perfection.
7:07
Forward beats stalled planning.
7:10
Right.
7:11
And so if we can keep moving forward,
7:13
even if it's not the exact way we
7:15
want to be, we can keep moving forward.
7:18
All right.
7:18
Now, so prioritize movement over perfection.
7:21
Like I said, done is better than perfect.
7:24
And forward beats are important, too.
7:27
So don't let the stalled plans get in
7:29
your way.
7:29
Keep things moving.
7:32
Are you ready for number eight?
7:34
I think you are.
7:35
All right.
7:35
Number eight, guys, is action unlocks opportunity.
7:39
The intention causes us to take an action,
7:42
locks the opportunity and doing opens unseen doors.
7:48
Doing opens unseen doors.
7:49
When we take the action, we are a
7:51
doer.
7:52
We're no longer just a thinker.
7:54
All right.
7:54
That's a very important point because a lot
7:56
of people say to me, oh, John, you
7:58
know, I wish I could just get this
8:01
done.
8:01
But they're always in their head.
8:03
They're always thinking about what they could be
8:05
doing, but they're not actually making the choice.
8:08
We are going to be on the air,
8:10
guys.
8:10
I'm proud to say four years and three
8:14
months after tomorrow, because tomorrow, I believe, if
8:17
I'm correct, tomorrow is going to be the
8:19
31st, which is Tuesday.
8:21
And then, guys, what happens after that?
8:23
Well, Wednesday rolls us into the first.
8:27
All right, guys.
8:27
So number nine, confidence follows the doing.
8:31
Yep.
8:32
Confidence follows doing.
8:33
So when we do more, we get more
8:35
confidence.
8:36
All right.
8:37
Bold steps reinforce the belief that we have.
8:41
Why else do I use the slogan BelieveMeAchieve
8:43
.com?
8:43
It's my brand.
8:45
Right.
8:45
But it's not just a brand.
8:47
It actually stands for something.
8:49
And I think that's the most important thing
8:50
a lot of people miss is that it's
8:52
not just a website.
8:53
OK.
8:54
Number 10, over planning, excess thought delays impact.
9:00
Yes.
9:00
Excess thought delays impact.
9:02
And another great thing I want to share
9:04
with you guys for the BelieveMeAchieve.com and
9:07
John C.
9:07
Morley's here on our community, JCM Academy will
9:10
be launching probably in a few weeks.
9:14
And that'll also be a great home where
9:16
you can get lots of information.
9:18
You can find out about where I'm speaking.
9:20
You can find out about the current book
9:24
or the next book that I'm publishing or
9:26
workshops or lots of stuff.
9:28
So that's going to be a really great
9:29
thing.
9:29
It's called JCM Academy.
9:30
So all of my coaching, teaching all lives
9:34
now under JCM Academy.
9:36
So number 10, avoid over planning.
9:41
Excess thought delays the impact.
9:43
You know, we want to think about things,
9:45
but then we want to keep thinking about
9:46
them and then we want to procrastinate.
9:48
And the more we procrastinate, it's like, oh,
9:51
when am I ever going to get this
9:52
done?
9:52
Right.
9:53
Because we keep going back and keep trying
9:55
to change something.
9:56
Let's get things down, even if they're not
9:58
perfect.
9:59
Done is better than perfect.
10:01
Number 11, guys, progress always compounds daily.
10:06
The small wins accumulate power.
10:08
So progress always compounds daily and small wins
10:11
accumulate power.
10:12
I'll tell you yesterday when I was doing
10:14
something, I had a lot of things to
10:15
do.
10:16
All right.
10:16
And, you know, my strategy as I actually
10:19
write things out and I cross them off
10:20
on a little piece of paper.
10:22
I take a piece of paper and I
10:24
actually fold it in half.
10:26
So I actually have four panels.
10:30
OK, I write one panel, two panel, then
10:33
the next two days I do the third,
10:34
the fourth panel.
10:35
And I just came up with that idea
10:36
recently because, you know, I was wasting a
10:37
lot of paper and it keeps me confined
10:39
in that space.
10:40
And it works really, really well.
10:42
And one piece of paper helps me get
10:44
through four days, guys.
10:47
So I think a lot of people have
10:52
initiative, but then they don't take it.
10:53
It could be because of the way they're
10:55
feeling.
10:56
Even if you don't feel the greatest now,
10:58
continue with your actions.
11:00
You might say, John, you know, I just
11:02
don't feel like doing it or I don't
11:03
want to.
11:05
That is your mind getting you off track.
11:09
All right.
11:09
You need to stay on track.
11:11
You know, I remember, as I told you
11:12
before, when I was younger and I would
11:14
go to a friend's place to play, whether
11:17
it was on the swings or whether it
11:19
was outside, whatever.
11:21
And I remember that I would always be
11:24
so staunch in saying, I've got to get
11:26
my homework done.
11:27
Well, my mom would say, you know, go
11:30
play and then do your homework.
11:33
Where a lot of the people like, you
11:34
know, you have to do your homework first
11:35
and then play.
11:36
I would never play.
11:37
So my mom was always happy when I
11:39
could go play.
11:39
And I always did my homework religiously.
11:41
So making those exceptions to me, or if
11:44
I had, let's say, a skating party, a
11:46
birthday party or what have you, or bar
11:48
mitzvah or quinceanera, they would always say, you
11:52
know, do what you can with your homework.
11:54
Go to the party.
11:54
Then when you come back home or tomorrow,
11:56
you have the weekend to finish or what
11:57
have you.
11:58
All right.
11:58
Parties will use you on Friday, by the
12:00
way.
12:00
Number 12, guys, initiatives build authority.
12:04
Yeah.
12:05
So action signals leadership.
12:09
When you can put things together and you
12:11
can orchestrate them, that is the culmination steps
12:16
of a leader.
12:17
It's not the end of a leader, but
12:19
it's the beginning of a leader.
12:20
And I said that leaders are born, they
12:23
are not made.
12:25
Number 13, guys, start before you're ready.
12:31
What does that mean?
12:32
You know, when I wrote my very first
12:35
memoir, even gave my very first talk, I
12:38
wasn't ready then.
12:40
Was I really not ready?
12:42
Well, my mind was saying, John, you need
12:44
more preparation time.
12:44
But you're always going to say that to
12:46
yourself.
12:47
So start before you're ready, begin, then adjust
12:51
along the way.
12:52
If you keep doing that, you're never going
12:54
to start.
12:55
I remember when we did our very first
12:56
website, I was like, well, it's not ready
12:58
yet.
12:59
We don't have everything yet.
13:00
Start with what you can and then add
13:02
in those things as you move along.
13:05
Number 14, guys, action sharpens focus.
13:10
When we act, we get clearer, get a
13:14
more, let's say, converged focus and doing filters
13:20
and distractions.
13:21
You know, when I was able to get
13:23
a couple of my projects organized yesterday, even
13:25
though I was tired, I felt really good
13:28
and I was energized, took a little break,
13:32
had lunch and then came back and did
13:35
an Inspirations for Your Life show.
13:37
I think when we do things, our body
13:41
gets like this natural jolt to want to
13:44
go forward.
13:45
That's how it works with me.
13:46
I'm sure it works with you the same
13:47
way.
13:48
But some people say to me, oh, John,
13:49
I can't do that because I'm not feeling
13:51
it.
13:52
You're always going to have moments when you're
13:53
not feeling it, whether it's allergies, whether you
13:55
have a headache.
13:57
You know, there's always an excuse, but do
13:59
what you can.
14:00
So if something's preventing you from working 100%,
14:02
work a little bit.
14:04
If you really can't work and it's an
14:05
emergency, well, then stop.
14:07
But don't use every little thing like, oh,
14:09
it's cold or I've got a headache or
14:11
I've got allergies.
14:12
So if I got allergies, then I don't,
14:15
let's say, something like a recording right away
14:18
because my ears are going to sound funny,
14:20
right?
14:21
But I can still do other things.
14:22
I can still type.
14:23
I can still analyze things that don't need
14:26
speaking, right?
14:27
So that's what I did.
14:28
And then when my ears were fine, I
14:30
was able to go and do and produce
14:31
my show that sounded fine.
14:32
I wasn't like a chipmunk.
14:34
So, number 15, guys, take calculated risks.
14:37
Smart courage produces growth.
14:40
Smart courage.
14:40
I didn't say wizaral courage.
14:43
I said smart courage.
14:45
All right.
14:46
Number 16, guys, this wind right here is
14:49
beautiful here.
14:50
Movement builds energy.
14:52
Action generates momentum.
14:54
I say that again.
14:54
Movement builds energy.
14:56
Action generates momentum.
14:57
Movement builds energy.
14:58
Action generates momentum.
14:59
Incidentally, ladies and gentlemen, you're noticing here that
15:02
I am live on scene.
15:05
If you have a restaurant or you have
15:06
a venue and you'd like me to come
15:08
to your venue and perhaps do a show
15:10
there, reach out.
15:11
Pretty soon, the JCM Academy site will be
15:13
up and you can request something right from
15:16
there.
15:16
But in the meantime, you can always go
15:17
to any of my social media and you
15:19
can send me a message saying, hey, we'd
15:21
like John to appear and myself and my
15:23
team members will get back to you.
15:24
We would love to feature you as a
15:28
location for our show.
15:29
All right.
15:30
So movement builds energy.
15:32
Action generates momentum.
15:33
Number 17, guys, you ready?
15:35
Daily actions reinforce habits.
15:39
This is clear with lots of things, whether
15:40
it's studying, whether it's exercises, whether it's breakfast.
15:45
OK, one of my biggies is doing my
15:48
bed.
15:48
You might say, John, what's the big deal
15:49
about doing my bed?
15:50
You know, whether I could do my bed
15:52
or have somebody else do it, it's not
15:54
the fact of I can't do it.
15:58
It's the fact of doing it that makes
16:01
me feel like I've started my day and
16:04
I'm ready to move on.
16:05
It's it's a it's a signal to my
16:06
brain that, you know, I've done something and
16:08
I'm ready to move on.
16:09
I've done my first thing.
16:10
My first thing I've done is usually have
16:11
breakfast, but sometimes I'll get up, I'll make
16:13
my bed.
16:14
I'll give gratitude to our creator saying, hey,
16:16
you know, thank you so much for so
16:18
much for for letting me have another great
16:21
day.
16:21
And sometimes if I forget later on the
16:24
day, I'm like, hey, you know, God, hey,
16:25
Lord, thank you so much for like right
16:27
now allowing me to live and to breathe
16:29
and and be part of this great world
16:31
that you've created.
16:33
Right.
16:34
The key is not to beat yourself up.
16:35
If you forget, just go back and do
16:38
it.
16:38
OK, so number 17 is daily action reinforces
16:42
habits.
16:43
Consistency strengthens the identity.
16:45
Number 18, guys.
16:48
Execution generates feedback.
16:52
Execution generates feedback.
16:53
Learn faster through doing.
16:55
And when you do something, you may not
16:57
do it exactly right.
16:59
Cut yourself some slack.
17:01
Right.
17:03
I feel sometimes we're very hard on ourselves.
17:06
And by being that hard.
17:09
Sometimes.
17:11
And out of yourself, don't remove all the
17:14
air out of your balloon.
17:15
Realize that you are able to move forward.
17:18
Just give yourself a little credit.
17:19
Be kind and loving to yourself.
17:21
OK, number 19, guys.
17:23
Boldness creates advantage.
17:27
Risk taking shapes outcomes.
17:31
Let me say that again.
17:32
Boldness creates advantage.
17:34
Risk taking shapes and then the outcomes.
17:39
So when we're bold, we move forward.
17:43
We don't let something get in our way.
17:45
We take a risk.
17:47
It's a calculated risk.
17:48
It's not a quasi, I hope, risk that's
17:51
going to harm me.
17:51
It's a risk that I like.
17:54
I may not feel comfortable doing this today.
17:57
But that's OK, because that's where success starts
17:59
to build.
18:00
Where we feel uncomfortable.
18:01
Didn't say painful.
18:02
I said uncomfortable.
18:04
Are you ready for number 20?
18:06
I know you are.
18:08
Number 20 is small wins build momentum.
18:12
Each step compounds confidence.
18:15
It's something about the chemicals in our body
18:19
and brain.
18:20
When we do something and we've accomplished something,
18:22
we want to do more.
18:24
Whether that's studying.
18:25
Whether that's exercising.
18:28
Anything that you do.
18:30
That's a key thing.
18:33
Something so small.
18:34
We talked about the snowball before.
18:35
Where it starts very small and then it
18:36
could turn into this gigantic snowball that could
18:40
literally knock everybody out.
18:45
Maybe even hurt everyone, guys.
18:47
Consistency outperforms beats burst.
18:53
At out of form speed and steady progress
18:56
beats the burst.
18:58
And I think that's a very important thing
19:01
for us to realize.
19:03
That it's the consistency that's putting us in
19:05
a certain spot.
19:07
And that is allowing us to become the
19:10
better version of ourselves.
19:12
Number 22, guys, avoid procrastination traps.
19:15
They're going to come in.
19:17
You're going to want to get on a
19:18
tangent.
19:19
You might start something and then you're going
19:20
to want to do something.
19:22
One thing I found that works really well
19:24
on productivity music or anti-procrastination music is
19:28
the music keeps my brain stimulated.
19:32
And by doing that, I'm able to keep
19:35
moving.
19:36
And even if there is a low, I
19:37
find that it keeps my brain engaged.
19:41
So that's important.
19:42
So it's opportunity.
19:43
Don't delay.
19:44
Even if, you know, you might say, gee,
19:47
you know, I wonder what this is.
19:49
There's one thing to take a break and
19:51
then there's something to take a tangent.
19:53
All right.
19:53
So I think that's a very, very important
19:56
thing.
19:56
Number 23, guys, action validates the ideas.
20:03
Testing brings the clarity.
20:04
Action validates ideas.
20:06
Action validates ideas.
20:08
Testing brings clarity.
20:10
That's pretty simple.
20:13
And we're able to.
20:19
That brings clarity.
20:21
That brings focus.
20:23
A great test also brings us confidence.
20:27
So I don't care what age you are.
20:30
This stuff works through your entire life.
20:33
It's just that as you get older, if
20:36
you haven't done this, it becomes harder to
20:39
convince the chattering monkeys in your mind to
20:41
say, hey, be quiet.
20:43
I'm going to try this.
20:45
And once you start getting a few wins,
20:47
the monkeys are like, OK, OK, I'll let
20:49
you be, you know, I don't need to
20:51
get the bananas from you.
20:52
You know, you know, I'll let you be.
20:53
I'll be quiet.
20:56
Number 24, guys, bold steps attract opportunity.
21:02
Bold steps attract opportunity.
21:08
Courage opens doors.
21:10
Courage opens doors.
21:12
So I know we all can get scared
21:15
sometimes, you know, scared of our own shadow,
21:19
scared of something that a lot of people
21:21
don't think about.
21:22
Some people get scared about being a failure.
21:25
A lot of people get scared.
21:26
You know what that is?
21:27
They get scared of being immensely successful.
21:31
You might say, John, that's crazy.
21:32
Yeah, because you're successful.
21:34
You're like this.
21:37
And so if you have that kind of
21:43
life now or you're living that kind of
21:46
life, success.
21:49
OK, 25, courage grows through doing.
21:55
The more you do, the more you get
21:57
this pat on the back.
21:58
You get this reinforcement.
22:01
OK, courage grows through doing and action fosters
22:04
resilience.
22:05
So when we take an action, we become
22:10
more unstoppable.
22:12
We become more solid, more confident, and we
22:18
become more curious.
22:23
OK, number 26, guys, execution increases visibility.
22:31
Activity builds credibility.
22:33
Hmm.
22:35
Like myself, you know, an author writing a
22:38
book, it builds credibility.
22:39
Writing a program, it builds credibility.
22:41
Creating a design, it creates credibility.
22:43
Giving a speech, doing a show, it creates
22:45
credibility.
22:45
It's one thing to say that you do
22:47
something.
22:48
It's another to actually do it.
22:51
I've had friends say, oh, yeah, I'm great
22:52
at that.
22:53
Well, could you show me?
22:54
Oh, no, I'm tired.
22:55
I want to do it today.
23:00
Do what you say.
23:03
And you will get more confidence every time.
23:08
Number 27, guys, stay engaged actively.
23:13
Attention drives results.
23:15
Guys, attention drives results.
23:17
Stay engaged actively.
23:18
Not just like, oh, I'll stay engaged today
23:21
because I'm free.
23:23
Tomorrow, I don't know if I can.
23:25
I want to go skiing or skating or
23:28
I want to go hang out with my
23:30
friends.
23:31
Stay engaged.
23:34
Whatever you do, stay engaged.
23:36
Attention drives results.
23:38
Where we focus our attention, that's where the
23:42
energy is going to go.
23:43
That's why lots of great people like Nightingale
23:48
Cohen have said, we become what we think
23:50
about most often.
23:51
But here's the kicker, guys.
23:53
It does not happen overnight.
23:57
No.
23:59
No.
23:59
No.
24:01
It happens progressively over time.
24:06
Number 28, guys, learn to move with purpose.
24:14
Intentional motion aligns the outcomes.
24:17
What does that mean, John?
24:19
We take action intentionally moving through the universe
24:27
to do things that are tied to our
24:31
core values.
24:35
When you move forward, let me ask you
24:36
a question.
24:37
Do you just move because you want to
24:39
move?
24:39
Or do you move with intention, with purpose?
24:43
If you're just moving, you're going to get
24:44
tired.
24:45
Always move with intention.
24:49
Number 29, guys, adjust as results unfold.
24:56
Flexibility maximizes success.
24:58
Think about a chameleon, right?
25:01
The animal that's able to change its color
25:05
to blend in with nature.
25:10
This is where the army, the military learned
25:13
to have camouflage vests.
25:16
We learned this from the experience of a
25:23
chameleon.
25:24
And I think those are important things.
25:27
When we can blend in, that's great.
25:31
But sometimes we don't want to blend in.
25:34
Sometimes we want to just adjust.
25:36
And I've said to you guys before, if
25:38
we want to be successful, we have to
25:40
first figure out how to measure it.
25:43
If we can't measure something, we can never
25:46
change it.
25:47
So once we can measure something, then we
25:49
can change factors to see how it actually
25:52
affects it and then document that.
25:54
With number 30, guys, act decisively.
26:02
Lead change.
26:04
Bold action inspires others.
26:11
So in closing, guys, I want to let
26:14
you know that you need to decide fast,
26:17
execute faster.
26:18
That doesn't mean make quick decisions.
26:20
That means don't procrastinate, right?
26:23
If you have all your facts, then make
26:26
a decision.
26:29
Don't sit on it for days.
26:31
If you don't have your information, then by
26:33
all means, go get it, okay?
26:35
I'm not telling you to decide blindly, but
26:39
I am telling you to decide fast and
26:40
execute faster once you have the metrics, all
26:44
right?
26:45
So in closing, guys, you can catch this
26:47
full episode and other episodes of this show
26:51
and of course others, of Inspiration for Real
26:53
Life, Tech Show, and many more.
26:56
And this is important, guys.
26:58
If you choose to apply these actionable strategies
27:00
to your own focus and amplify momentum, you
27:06
will definitely head toward the trajectory of success.

more insights, resources, and guidance to see opportunities
27:21
others miss and learn how to live intentionally.
27:25
And I leave you with this question today.
27:29
When you go to make an action, ask
27:33
yourself, is this something I'm doing that's intentional?
27:36
Or am I just going with the motions?
27:39
Or am I just doing something someone else
27:40
has said?
27:41
Is this really an intentional choice of mine?
27:45
If it is, great.
27:46
Go forward with it.
27:47
If it's not, step back and say, wait
27:49
a minute.
27:51
I don't think I should make this choice.
27:52
This is not in line with who I
27:54
am as a person, as my character, as
27:58
the integrity I stand for.
27:59
I'm John C.
28:00
Morley, serial entrepreneur.
