  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Actually a beautiful cool morning here and I got to admit
• 0:35
  it is lovely and I am enjoying the change in the weather.
• 0:38
  So today I want to give you a thought.
• 0:43
  I was talking to a client about a project that he wants to take
• 0:47
  on and he was telling me he's worried about the cost of the
• 0:50
  project and jumping in and doing it.
• 0:53
  And when I asked him if he felt that he had the money to cover
• 0:56
  the initial cost of going in and doing it, he said yes.
• 1:00
  And I said, OK, that's interesting.
• 1:02
  Then why are you worried about it?
• 1:03
  He said, well, what if it just turns out to be a waste of
• 1:05
  money? I think we've all had these
• 1:08
  thoughts about what if I'm just wasting my money?
• 1:10
  What if it's just something like that that's happening?
• 1:12
  I'm going to just put something into it.
• 1:14
  And what if it doesn't work? Well, I want to give you some
• 1:17
  food for thought. If you are worried about the
• 1:20
  cost of going for it and driving towards your outcomes and your
• 1:24
  goals, you can't imagine the cost of staying exactly where
• 1:29
  you are and not doing it because that's where the your your
• 1:35
  identity comes in. That's where you're, it will
• 1:38
  weigh on your soul for saying I never took a shot.
• 1:41
  I never actually took the shot. I never actually went.
• 1:45
  And I showed up at the court. I actually had the ball in my
• 1:49
  hands, but I never walked onto the court and I never played the
• 1:53
  game and I never took the shot. And that at the end of our
• 1:58
  lives, when we really concentrate and think about it
• 2:01
  and we say, well, where do I want to feel like at the end of
• 2:03
  end of our lives? Do I want to feel like I didn't
• 2:06
  take the shot? And that is a profound question
• 2:10
  to ask yourself. And not just when you're older,
• 2:13
  but throughout your life. Do I want to know that I
• 2:16
  actually gave myself a chance? Do I want to know I took the
• 2:19
  shot? Do I want to know that I, I felt
• 2:21
  like I could make a shift and do something?
• 2:25
  And for me, I have always been more of a risk taker and saying
• 2:29
  take the shot probably just because I had a lot of losses of
• 2:35
  people that I really loved throughout my life and I felt
• 2:37
  like they got robbed of doing things and I didn't want to have
• 2:42
  that happen. So I've always been very much a
• 2:45
  take the shot. And see, I mean, obviously
• 2:46
  recording a podcast from a chicken coop, that's taking a
• 2:49
  shot. You never know how people are
• 2:50
  going to take it. Lots of, you know, doing a
• 2:54
  coaching business, you never know how people are going to
• 2:56
  take it. Jumping in and working for Tony
• 2:58
  Robbins, you never know what that's going to be like.
• 3:00
  And I could have used a lot of my time because I was so anxiety
• 3:06
  ridden to worry about all of it. And did I have worried thoughts?
• 3:10
  Yes. But the thing that really
• 3:12
  changed for me was being able to say, well, what's the cost going
• 3:17
  to be? What, what, what, how am I going
• 3:18
  to feel if I don't do this? How am I going to feel if I
• 3:22
  don't take the shot, try to make the art, do the thing I wanted
• 3:25
  to do? I'm going to feel terrible that
• 3:27
  I didn't even make an attempt because I know I, I really want
• 3:32
  it. I know I can do it and I know I
• 3:33
  really want it. So the point of all of this
• 3:37
  today is to get you thinking about that part.
• 3:40
  Is there something that you know you would really love to be able
• 3:44
  to do and you're just not doing it because you're like, I don't
• 3:47
  know if it's worth my time or my money, but you know you want it,
• 3:51
  but you're just operating from that little pussy.
• 3:53
  What's the point? Why not take the shot?
• 3:55
  Because at the end of the day, when you're sitting there and
• 3:58
  you're older and you've got people around you and you're
• 4:01
  talking about the things that you did, that feels a hell of a
• 4:05
  lot better than talking about the things that you didn't do,
• 4:08
  the things you chose not to do. Because then you're just
• 4:10
  speaking in regret. And maybe you'll just be
• 4:12
  someone's example in that way. But I would prefer to be
• 4:16
  someone's example in a way about, damn, that girl left
• 4:19
  nothing on the table. And that's the outcome that I
• 4:23
  play with. I don't want to leave anything
• 4:25
  on the table. As I've said before, I am a
• 4:28
  child who grew up listening to Def Leppard talk about it's
• 4:32
  better to burn out than fade away, and I have no intention of
• 4:36
  doing anything but that. It is all about leaving it all
• 4:40
  on the table, getting better and better and better and aging like
• 4:44
  fine wine as opposed to allowing myself to be consumed by
• 4:47
  negative thoughts that Take Me Out no matter what.
• 4:51
  So I hope that this was helpful and I hope it kicks your butt to
• 4:55
  remember the price of not doing it is way higher than the price
• 4:59
  of doing it. All right my friends, I hope you
• 5:02
  have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:04
  Bye.
