  Speaker 1: It was one of the greatest love stories of my life.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: My nearly thirty four years with Ernie the Blue Crown Conyer.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: We were both called to learn life by way of studying.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: A collection of trees, the lyrics from Ernie's forest. You
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: can find them all on arrow dot net A r
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: oe dot net. You can find them on the podcast
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: four Stories, the Choice and View from the writing instrument.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Get to know Ernie while you're enjoying your exploration Aro
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: dot net A r r oe dot net. I'm always
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: asking questions. The reason why is because the fund begins
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: when you start researching for answers such as how far
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: into a brand new year do people go before giving
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: up on that new diet or workout plan? Plus, when
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: consumers return items to retail stores, isn't that a power
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: play they're trying to win? My name is Ero. I'm
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a daily writer, is Wolf. I stand on the sidelines
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: happen to call it the daily Mess, a chronological walk
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: through an everyday world. Yeah, this is what I write
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: in the morning as a receiver of thoughts and ideas.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: We as people tend to throw things to the side
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: because we think we're going to deal with it later on. Well,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: when a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: but by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: is the daily mess. How far into a brand new
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: year do most people go before giving up on a
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: new diet or workout plan. Well, research is not a fiber.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: All too often the truth it hurts. But before you
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: hit Amazon buy a bunch of workout clothes or the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: newest running store to get some shoes, know that your
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: resolution for the brand new year to eat better and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: work wut will probably last about seven to ten days.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: If you're lucky. Motivation is high, gyms are packed, you've
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: got structure in your diet plan, and the scale is
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: showing ooh I lost one pound. Yes, this is it right.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Then comes week number two. Things change, especially your body.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: It starts to ache, hunger, and time pressure. Nearly thirty
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: percent of those whose resolutions at the end of the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: year and endo the beginning, that resolution of eating better
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and working out has already faded out of sight. Now
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: get this, I didn't know this. The second Friday of
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: every month of January is looked upon as being quitter Friday.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: At that point, fourteen days in, sixty percent of those
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: who wanted a healthier life have stopped. Gyms begin to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: thin out by the thirty first day of January. In fact,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: only twenty percent of those who wanted to change in
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the new year have continue moving forward. So why is
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: it that we quit so early? Well, it's because the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: majority of us it's all or nothing. If I don't
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: give it my all, you ain't getting nothing. Overly aggressive
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: will power, fatigue, and the uncomfortable truth when you look
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: at yourself in the mirror and you go tu like
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I forget it. Forget it. So here's the thing. Don't
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: buy into a system. Your best investment is in motivation.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Figure out how you're going to motivate yourself on a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: daily basis. It's not that big of a chore. It's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: something to walk into, but you can get around it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: In fact, you can see through it. We just got
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to figure out how to get through it. Coming up next,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: consumers who bring things back to retail stores. Do you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: see it as a power play on behalf of the consumer? Hey,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: welcome back to the daily mess. When consumers return unused
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: items or lightly use problems to retail stores. Is that
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a power player? Are they trying to get the one
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: up on Corporate America? Well, those in customer service might
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: think so. The customer is always right, right, I don't
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: think so. Only sometimes it's connected to the consumer trying
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to get the upper hand. Most returns at a retail
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: store are practical, but not psychological. Did you hear me
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: on that it's practical, not psychological. But it's pretty clear
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that it can easily escalate to a power move. So
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: when does it turn into a power move? When it
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: now includes territory? It's less about the product and more
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: about the control, the validation, and the status. We have
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: become this wild ass generation that buys all day on
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Amazon dot com, Walmart dot com. We go to those
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: websites and bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, try
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it then send it back. That shopping attitude has spilled
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: over to grocery stores and other retail outlets that feature
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: tools and products that we think we need in that
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: moment of now. Or we buy it, use it and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: think I'll never use it again, so we take it back.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Why because we got the receipt. Consumers are really good
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: at creating inconvenience. Where did you buy this product at?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I don't remember, So when did you buy this product?
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe a month ago, two months ago,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I don't have my receipt. Demanding exceptions and failing to
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: respect time really does limit everything that's taking place at
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that retail store. But most companies will say, that's okay,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: we'll take care of you. I got your back. It's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: gotten so bad at some stores that they're now charging
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: extra fees to put the stuff back up on the shelf.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about that, knowing that you're probably
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: one of them that created this. I'm Errol, and that's
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the daily mess.
