• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Coupe. So, today we are talking about
• 0:35
  100% effort. I just have like so much to say
• 0:40
  about this subject because it is one of those things that I think
• 0:43
  we as human beings have such a tendency to give ourselves slack
• 0:47
  on. Just had a discussion with my
• 0:49
  son about this have discussions with clients about it all the
• 0:53
  time and it in our family, we have this whole dialogue about.
• 0:59
  Well, what's the A lot of effort you're putting into something,
• 1:02
  are you putting 100% effort in? And I think that rarely do we
• 1:08
  measure the effort we're putting in and saying, before we start a
• 1:11
  project, am I going to go into this at 100% often what ends up
• 1:16
  happening is we just jump into something, whatever it is that
• 1:18
  we're doing, and we work on it. And who knows?
• 1:22
  If we're actually putting in 100% effort, because we never
• 1:24
  actually articulate that piece to ourselves.
• 1:27
  We just don't do that making 100% effort.
• 1:30
  Takes making that decision before you go into it saying to
• 1:34
  yourself. Okay, I'm going to do this at
• 1:36
  100%. Now, I've used the example
• 1:38
  before about the podcast and doing this and I held off on a
• 1:42
  long time, doing a podcast because I wasn't at the point
• 1:45
  where I said, hey, I'm willing to do this at a hundred percent,
• 1:48
  but once I recognized that, I could do this from the chicken
• 1:51
  coop, and that I had this opportunity to, you know, I'm
• 1:54
  here every day all day seeing my chickens doing things, and I
• 1:58
  really wanted to make the effort In that with them and it just
• 2:04
  kind of all fell into place. But once I said it, okay, 100%
• 2:07
  effort mean I was going to do this and I was going to shoot
• 2:10
  this every single day, no matter what.
• 2:13
  And so, that's what's happened because I made a commitment to
• 2:17
  it. And in my head, a hundred
• 2:19
  percent is 100%. So asking yourself this question
• 2:23
  before you need. It is the key can't ask yourself
• 2:27
  that question. When you're in the middle of it,
• 2:29
  you have to make the commitment. Went before hand and that
• 2:32
  without question is a foundational piece of success.
• 2:36
  If you are willing to ask the correct questions, prior to
• 2:40
  needing them, you get the result you want, when you just kind of
• 2:44
  run through the motions and you're taking on the the oh, I'm
• 2:49
  going to do the task and whatnot.
• 2:51
  Okay, you just don't get there. Now let me use another simple
• 2:55
  example for you, let's say you are writing a piece of paper and
• 3:00
  you krump Up and you throw it towards the trash can in your
• 3:03
  office or whatever room you're in and you miss the trash.
• 3:07
  Do you actually get up and throw the paper in?
• 3:10
  The can or do you leave it there and say I'll get it after.
• 3:14
  Now this may seem like a stupid example but it's a really
• 3:17
  telling thing because in the moment your intention was to
• 3:22
  make it in the trash. Can that moment you had every
• 3:25
  intention to get the paper in the trash can and the moment it
• 3:28
  didn't happen rather than getting up.
• 3:30
  Up and going over and correcting.
• 3:32
  What happened? So that you completed the task
• 3:34
  at 100%, you stop and you settle for doing it later which to me
• 3:41
  is not 100%. Now again, this is again, may
• 3:44
  seem like a silly example. However, it's very telling
• 3:48
  because it gives you insight to yourself and your mindset about
• 3:52
  how you handle things. So if my intent was to get that
• 3:55
  in the trash can, I'm going to complete my intent and I'm going
• 3:58
  to get it in the trash can, I'm not giving up on Not because
• 4:01
  that doesn't serve me that allows me to have a behavior
• 4:05
  that does not serve me. So you have to ask yourself, am
• 4:08
  I throwing for the can and to get it in or am I just?
• 4:12
  Yeah, I'll just throw it towards the floor.
• 4:15
  I'll wait, nine times out of ten.
• 4:17
  That's not the case you wanted it in the can.
• 4:20
  So you have to check in with yourself repeatedly asking
• 4:24
  before the key here is before you go into something, what is
• 4:29
  my intent with this? Am I going to do this at 100%?
• 4:33
  And if you're not going to do it at 100%, you have to check in
• 4:36
  and ask yourself what's the reason I'm not at 100%?
• 4:39
  Am I am? I just dabbling right now?
• 4:40
  Because there are times when I'm like I'm dabbling and if I'm
• 4:44
  dabbling, then I'm doing it for whatever reason, fun, whatever I
• 4:47
  can come up with any way to define it, but if I'm dabbling,
• 4:51
  I'm okay with it. But just know your dabbling and
• 4:53
  don't put it out there that you're going to do something and
• 4:55
  100% if you're not, and I think that most of us think we are.
• 5:00
  Parade on 100% all the time but we don't.
• 5:03
  So you have to make a decision. Knowing yourself going into this
• 5:07
  year, really strong and formidable and be that force
• 5:10
  that you want to be across the board for yourself.
• 5:13
  Not for any other person. For yourself, ask that question.
• 5:19
  Am I at a hundred percent? Am I going to be at 100% with
• 5:21
  this? Am I a committed to doing this
• 5:23
  at 100% or in my dabbling and see where you go?
• 5:27
  Alright, my friends, I will see you tomorrow, I hope you have.
• 5:30
  A blessed day. Bye.
