0:24

1:16
not, that's totally up to you.
1:17
Without any further ado, guys, let's go ahead
1:20
and kick off this show.
1:23
Are you ready, guys?
1:24
I know I am.
1:25
So hello, everyone, and welcome once again back
1:27
to Inspirations for Your Life, the daily motivational
1:30
show where growth is intentional, change is courageous,
1:34
and alignment matters more than comfort.
1:37
I'm your host, guys.
1:38
I'm John C.
1:39
Morley, serial entrepreneur.
1:40
I'm an engineer.
1:41
I'm a marketing specialist, video producer, podcast host,
1:44
coach, keynote speaker, graduate student, and yes, guys,
1:47
a passionate lifelong learner.
1:50
Today, we're talking about something deeply human and
1:54
often deeply uncomfortable for many, leaving the boat,
1:57
walking away from what's familiar, that's jobs, roles,
2:01
relationships, expectations, without setting fire to everything behind
2:05
you because sometimes people get vindictive and they
2:08
feel that because it's not working for them,
2:10
well, then they want to ruin it for
2:11
everybody else.
2:12
And that's a very, very poor and bad
2:14
attitude thing to do.
2:15
And successful people don't do that.
2:17
Successful people are happy when other people are
2:19
successful.
2:20
Leaving the boat isn't about rebellion, guys.
2:23
It's about evolution.
2:25
And I think people that don't understand that
2:27
not only bring others down, but they also
2:29
bring themselves down and they, well, make it
2:31
harder for them to come back and claim
2:33
a chance for success.
2:35
Number one, guys, the anxiety of disappointing people
2:39
who benefit from your smallness is real, but
2:43
it's not your responsibility to stay small so
2:46
others can stay comfortable.
2:48
That's the truth, guys.
2:50
Number two, you can leave a group, a
2:53
job or relationship with clarity instead of conflict
2:56
when you choose honesty over drama.
2:58
So a lot of times people leave a
3:00
group or they leave a relationship because of
3:02
some drama or because of something that happened,
3:05
and they're completely right to do so.
3:07
Maybe it's just not working out and they've
3:09
tried and they can't get it to gel
3:12
or to be fixed.
3:13
So they leave.
3:14
But it's also not the time to destroy
3:16
it or to break a bridge, right?
3:18
Because maybe you need to cross that bridge
3:20
again.
3:20
It just might not be the right time,
3:22
but that doesn't mean that you need to
3:23
break or burn down the whole building.
3:25
I mean, that's the facetious way of saying
3:27
that.
3:28
But number three, abandoning responsibility is running away.
3:32
I don't know if you know that.
3:33
Evolving is choosing growth with intention.
3:36
Number four, guys, if I grow, will the
3:39
outgrow you?
3:41
Is the quiet fear that keeps many people
3:44
stuck long past their expiration date?
3:47
Let's ponder that for a moment.
3:48
I know that sounds interesting, but because you're
3:52
moving on does not mean that you are
3:55
ready to do everything you need to do.
3:57
I'm just being completely honest with you on
4:00
that.
4:02
Number five, guys, having the I'm changing conversation
4:07
with people you love requires courage, compassion, and
4:12
boundaries.
4:13
So we have to be aware of those.
4:16
Number six, guys, sometimes the boat is already
4:18
sinking and you're just rearranging chairs to avoid
4:21
admitting it.
4:22
And so if a boat's sinking, does it
4:25
mean you get off?
4:25
Well, it means that you need to restructure
4:27
what you're doing, because if you keep going
4:30
the way you're going, well, you're probably not
4:33
going to be above water very long.
4:36
So that's important.
4:37
Number seven, guys, red flags don't appear suddenly.
4:41
You've usually known it's time to move on
4:44
long before you admit it, and that's a
4:46
hard thing for many people.
4:48
It affects the ego, and that's a problem.
4:50
Number eight, guys, staying for stability often costs
4:54
more emotionally than leaving ever will.
4:57
And that's another thing that a lot of
4:59
people don't get is how do we react
5:01
in these weird kinds of situations, right?
5:06
That's a very, very important thing to understand
5:10
what's happening, why things are happening.
5:14
I think that's a very, very important thing
5:18
definitely to understand.
5:22
So number nine, choosing yourself doesn't make you
5:26
selfish.
5:27
It makes you honest.
5:29
Number 10, there's a real grief in leveling
5:32
up even when the change is right.
5:35
Number 11, it's an honor where you came
5:37
from without staying where you belong.
5:41
Number 12, guys, a role doesn't mean you
5:45
failed.
5:46
It means maybe you've finished that role.
5:48
Maybe it's time to do something different.
5:51
Maybe it's time to think about what's happening,
5:55
right?
5:56
Think about the next part of your life.
5:58
I think that's a very important thing to
6:01
understand, and I hope that you can respect
6:05
and really know what's happening there.
6:08
I think that's a very big thing that
6:12
a lot of people just don't understand.
6:14
And so when I say this, it can
6:20
be challenging.
6:21
And I have to say, I've got to
6:22
complain again every once in a while.
6:24
So we've had a lot of issues with
6:26
them being disconnected, reconnected.
6:28
I've been getting lots of pops here.
6:30
I don't want to lose you guys on
6:31
this show.
6:32
But their service just sucks, just a bit.
6:37
Connections get lost.
6:49
So we're back there.
6:50
We lost you for a second or two.
6:51
Like I said, Optimum and Altice, they just
6:53
suck.
6:55
But that's just kind of how they are.
6:57
And the thing is, they just can't be
7:00
reliable.
7:01
And we always try to do the best
7:03
we can.
7:05
And one of the things we're going to
7:06
be doing in our new studio is we're
7:07
going to be building pure fiber and building
7:09
more redundancy.
7:10
Because you can't just run professional streaming with
7:13
just even great cable.
7:17
It's terrible that they don't really care about,
7:20
you know, me and about my business and
7:22
about keeping things out there.
7:24
I mean, we were dropped there for literally
7:26
a couple seconds.
7:26
And then obviously we came back.
7:28
So we didn't lose the connection.
7:29
But I think, you know, a lot of
7:32
these companies are not accountable.
7:34
And if they were accountable, then, well, they'd
7:37
be a lot better.
7:38
The first thing I have to say is
7:40
we should not allow other countries, France or
7:44
wherever, to buy our utilities.
7:45
And we shouldn't be able to buy theirs.
7:47
And I think that's just nonsense the way
7:50
other countries can do that.
7:53
It's a big problem.
7:55
And like I said, that little bit of
7:57
an intermittent blip we had that maybe you
7:59
didn't notice it if you were listing on
8:01
audio, you might have not listed.
8:02
There might have been a little bit of
8:03
a down for a few seconds.
8:04
But the thing is, you can complain, but
8:08
they really don't do squat.
8:11
They'll say, you know, we're updating.
8:13
We're doing some kind of BS, basically.
8:16
So, you know, these are important things to
8:19
understand.
8:20
And I think the more that we, let's
8:23
say, understand this and know what's happening, I
8:28
think it affects us as people.
8:32
I think that's a very, very important thing
8:35
to say.
8:37
And maybe you're thinking about this for a
8:39
moment saying, John, you know, this is kind
8:40
of crazy, right?
8:41
Well, I think it's because, again, of that
8:44
accountability thing, right?
8:45
It's that whole accountability thing.
8:47
And, you know, that's a really, really big
8:50
problem.
8:52
Number 13, your old life and new life
8:55
may look different.
8:56
And that contrast is part of the growth.
8:58
So I think we need to embrace that,
9:01
all right?
9:03
Another important one, guys, that I think a
9:05
lot of people miss is not everyone you
9:07
love will understand your next step, and they
9:09
don't have to, okay?
9:12
Maybe you have friends, and maybe they don't
9:14
agree with what you're doing.
9:15
Well, maybe it might be time to get
9:16
new friends, but not always.
9:18
But I think the problem is that you're
9:21
so invested in that when they give you
9:23
feedback, even if it's good feedback, it kind
9:27
of, well, like tips you off in a
9:30
bad way.
9:31
Maybe they're trying to help you.
9:33
So you can kind of figure out, are
9:34
they really doing what's best for you or
9:36
not?
9:36
And so, like I said, not everyone you
9:38
love will understand your next step, and they
9:40
don't have to.
9:41
You need to know where you're going.
9:43
Number 15, guys, you owe people honesty, not
9:48
endless explanations.
9:50
So be truthful about why you're doing something.
9:52
You don't need to give them the whole
9:53
kitchen sink.
9:54
I mean, that's a real important one, okay?
9:59
And again, honesty, right?
10:02
Number 16, dramatic exits are allowed.
10:06
Intentional transitions, well, they're powerful.
10:09
And when we choose to do them in
10:11
a certain way, it can be life-changing
10:15
for us and for other people.
10:17
Number 17, guys, leaving quietly can be one
10:21
of the strongest moves you ever make.
10:23
I know so many people that get upset
10:25
that they got to leave, and they've got
10:26
to, like, put on this temper tantrum.
10:30
They've got to cry, act like they're two
10:32
or three years old so they can get
10:34
attention.
10:34
But really, that's just showing their shoe size
10:38
and not their true age.
10:40
I think that's a big, big problem for
10:44
a lot of people.
10:46
And so I know, if you're listening to
10:50
me here, that you might say, well, John,
10:52
you don't understand what happened in this situation.
10:53
You don't understand what they did to me.
10:55
Well, two wrongs, guys, does not make a
10:58
right.
10:59
I'm sorry to tell you that.
11:01
We heard what happened in the X-Capers
11:04
and what happened with the Grock cases and
11:06
how there were other issues on the internet
11:09
where there was some harassment and then they
11:13
used these AI tools to put, let's say,
11:18
adult-created images of the people without their
11:23
consent.
11:24
And then when the girl went back to
11:27
do it, it was very interesting that she
11:31
was able to get off and not be
11:35
punished because she was the original victim.
11:37
I don't think that's right.
11:39
I think that's sending a wrong message.
11:40
I get that she was scarred and that
11:42
she had really some emotional challenges, but that
11:44
doesn't mean that you are able to do
11:48
whatever the heck you want to do just
11:50
because, well, no reason.
11:54
I'll give you a per example.
11:55
I was in a Facebook group, still am.
11:58
I was in many groups, some that I
11:59
run, I'm the admins of.
12:01
And so there's rules.
12:03
There's one group that you can only post
12:05
business stuff on certain days, like one day
12:06
a week, and they tell you which one.
12:09
And it was interesting because when this one
12:10
guy posts, happened to be a doctor, and
12:14
I made a joke, because he's like, and
12:16
I said, why is it that people who
12:19
have 30 or 40 cars post every week
12:23
and they're in trouble?
12:29
They can only post once.
12:30
And that doesn't seem very fair.
12:33
They didn't answer my question.
12:35
Number 17, the main question for me, and
12:40
I say this again because when you leave
12:43
quietly, you don't create this drama.
12:47
You don't create this negativity in the air.
12:52
I say, John, what is one thing that
12:54
you want to do?
12:55
Keep your positive reputation.
13:00
I was working with a client, and then
13:02
they decided that they want to leave because,
13:05
oh, they thought we were too expensive.
13:08
They thought that, you know, they just didn't
13:12
want our help anymore because, well, frankly, they
13:16
didn't think it was working.
13:17
But then when a whole year went by,
13:19
and they couldn't get any better, they called
13:22
us back.
13:25
Being humble, went back and did all that.
13:27
But I think it's important to set your
13:29
boundaries.
13:30
Let people know, like, what you expect.
13:34
Like, payment is rendered before services are delivered,
13:37
if it's like a block of services like
13:38
we do.
13:39
Or, you know, when they say, can you
13:42
come right over?
13:43
My answer is, yes, I can come right
13:46
over as soon as I finish this and
13:47
this, and that'll be later today or that'll
13:48
be tomorrow.
13:49
And you have to get that respect from
13:51
people.
13:52
If you don't, you don't want them as
13:53
a client.
13:54
Number 18.
13:56
Family expectations can feel heavy when they want
13:59
you to inherit their dreams instead of chasing
14:02
your own.
14:05
I know many years ago, my parents had
14:08
a dry-clean plant.
14:09
And they wanted me to inherit the dry
14:11
-clean plant.
14:11
On one side.
14:12
Still have a tech company in that.
14:14
Wasn't really a full keynote speaker back then.
14:17
And I knew that I did not want
14:19
to be behind the counter and doing retail.
14:21
I didn't want to do that.
14:22
I wanted to do something and be more.
14:25
Did I know that I wanted to go
14:26
get other degrees?
14:27
No, I didn't know that back then.
14:29
But that became evident in the last year
14:31
or so, that I definitely, you know, wanted
14:33
to do that.
14:34
So I think that's an important thing.
14:37
Number 19, guys.
14:39
Oftentimes, the resistance isn't about you leaving.
14:43
It's about who they'll be if you do.
14:47
And when you leave, you have to realize
14:50
that you never make somebody feel bad that
14:56
you left.
14:58
If they want to come back, that's great.
15:00
But be polite, be courteous.
15:04
Eat and serve humble pie.
15:06
I think that's so valuable today.
15:11
And a lesson that many people, well, they
15:13
don't seem to get it.
15:14
They don't seem to get that.
15:16
Number 20, guys.
15:18
Build support for your next season before you
15:22
fully exit the old one.
15:25
So before you start your next thing, build
15:28
the support for it into your life.
15:31
So that it can be supported.
15:33
So it can run.
15:38
A very valuable lesson I learned not too
15:39
long ago was that your imagination becomes your
15:43
reality.
15:43
We've talked about this.
15:45
But what you have to do, and a
15:47
lot of people don't do this, is you
15:50
have to think about things, but you also
15:51
have to keep thinking from the end.
15:53
And you have to keep feeling.
15:54
You have to keep pushing back these images.
15:57
And when you do, the outside world aligns
16:01
to your inner world.
16:02
That doesn't happen overnight.
16:05
But you gotta have that energy.
16:07
You gotta feel it from the inside out.
16:11
Number 21, you know FOMO, right?
16:13
What's FOMO?
16:14
Fear of missing out.
16:15
It's temporary.
16:17
Regret lasts longer.
16:19
So if I miss a game, if I
16:20
miss an event, okay, I missed it.
16:24
But regret about something else I needed to
16:26
do, well, that could last my entire life.
16:29
And I might not be able to repair
16:31
what I did because of some FOMO thing
16:34
that I had to do because I thought
16:36
that took a higher priority than what I
16:40
should be putting my time into.
16:42
Number 22, guys.
16:45
Protecting your future is not selfish.
16:48
It's responsible.
16:51
It's responsible.
16:52
Now, that could mean how you act, if
16:56
you understand how valuable you are to yourself.
17:04
And when you do something you can't afford
17:06
when others fall.
17:08
Right?
17:10
And a lot of people that push into
17:12
the rubble, the reason they do this is
17:17
they think that no one else is there.
17:19
Well, that's a bad thing.
17:27
I mean, they have to be accountable because
17:31
if we're not accountable then we aren't.
17:41
And we're going to lose the belief in
17:45
ourselves.
17:47
And that's pretty hard to do.
17:49
But when you lose belief in yourself how
17:52
can somebody else believe or trust you?
17:54
I mean, that's the really bottom line there.
17:56
Number 23, guys.
17:58
Take lessons, relationships, and discipline with you.
18:02
Don't compartmentalize.
18:03
Okay, because of this relationship learn from it.
18:08
And don't put barricades between your life.
18:10
Learn from those lessons.
18:11
Oh, because of that happened.
18:13
I had another situation today.
18:15
I was explaining something to someone.
18:16
It was actually yesterday.
18:18
And they weren't able to talk to me
18:20
for more than maybe a minute.
18:22
No problem.
18:23
Didn't hold against them.
18:23
I said, okay, I'm going to send a
18:25
letter.
18:25
A very detailed letter.
18:26
But not complicated.
18:28
But just something to illustrate the points.
18:30
Later on, the person called me back the
18:32
next day.
18:33
And we just rehashed what was in the
18:35
letter.
18:35
And like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes
18:37
sense.
18:38
Okay, I get it.
18:39
Yeah, that makes sense.
18:39
And I'm actually doing this to save you
18:40
money.
18:41
Oh, that makes a lot of sense.
18:43
And so sometimes you have to put something
18:44
in writing.
18:45
Sometimes you have to follow up.
18:46
But sometimes you have to let them come
18:48
back to you after they've read your written
18:50
note.
18:51
So it's good to do things multiple different
18:52
ways.
18:53
Number 24, guys.
18:56
Leave guilt, performance, and resentment behind.
19:03
I know so many people that try to
19:05
push guilt on you.
19:06
You know why?
19:07
Because if they push guilt, then they will
19:11
be able to go forward they feel.
19:15
Because now, well, I'm better than you.
19:20
Regardless of what degree I have or what
19:22
degrees I get.
19:23
Does that make me better than somebody?
19:25
Does it make me better?
19:27
Does it make me more knowledgeable?
19:28
Yes.
19:28
But does that make me a better person?
19:30
No.
19:32
Better is a relative term.
19:35
Why do I like to keep getting educated?
19:38
I like to be the best.
19:39
I like to keep growing.
19:40
And I just like to keep challenging myself
19:43
and then sharing that knowledge in a humble
19:45
way.
19:46
And also increasing my value and my net
19:49
worth.
19:50
But again, not in a selfish way.
19:52
In a way that's going to help other
19:53
people.
19:56
Number 25.
19:57
Are you ready for 25?
19:58
I bet you are.
19:59
Change doesn't happen overnight.
20:02
If you think it does, well, rude awakening,
20:05
spoiler alert, it doesn't.
20:08
It happens when you stop pretending.
20:12
Huh.
20:14
Well, John, I wasn't pretending.
20:16
Well, maybe you're not intentionally pretending, but I
20:19
got news for you.
20:19
You're pretending.
20:22
And when you can't pretend in a certain
20:24
way, then your ego starts to kick like,
20:26
oh my gosh, what am I going to
20:27
do now?
20:28
You get my point?
20:30
So pretending happens because we're trying to protect
20:33
that big ego in our head.
20:36
And when you try to talk to somebody
20:37
about it, they challenge you.
20:41
Until maybe you leave the ballpark.
20:45
And then they invite you back.
20:48
But now they realize that they need you.
20:52
Don't act like a jerk.
20:54
Be humble.
20:55
And you're going to see that the relationship
20:57
will change.
21:00
It will change.
21:01
Number 26, guys.
21:03
Your first step away feels louder in your
21:06
head than it ever is to others.
21:11
A while back when somebody wanted to leave,
21:14
I didn't challenge it.
21:15
I said, okay, no problem.
21:16
I said, we'll take care of everything.
21:19
Give us 24 hours and we'll stop all
21:21
your services.
21:24
And I don't think the person realized what
21:27
they were losing.
21:31
So much to the accord that when they
21:33
tried to do certain things, they couldn't.
21:36
One client couldn't even use their computer for
21:38
an entire year.
21:42
But I respected the time.
21:44
I respected that break.
21:47
I respected that, let's say, time apart.
21:51
So they could realize myself and my company's
21:55
true value.
21:57
That's important.
21:58
A lot of people try to push value.
22:00
And when you try to push value, it
22:01
causes a big problem.
22:04
That's important to know.
22:06
Number 27, a leaving plan grounded in respect
22:09
protects both sides.
22:11
So when you leave and you protect each
22:14
other, if the door ever comes back, and
22:19
I was always humble to the person, I
22:20
was always cordial to the person, even though
22:22
they weren't doing business with us for about
22:23
a year, I was still nice to the
22:26
person.
22:28
You might say, John, why am I going
22:29
to do that?
22:30
I wasn't trying to get them back.
22:31
I was just being nice because I want
22:34
to be nice.
22:34
It wasn't for any reason.
22:36
In my book, I said, well, gee, they're
22:37
never coming back.
22:38
And I said, that's okay.
22:40
Never realizing that that person would come back
22:43
just because I was being nice.
22:45
But I wasn't being nice to get them
22:47
back.
22:47
I was just being nice because that's who
22:49
I am.
22:51
And I guess that rubbed off in a
22:53
way to say, hey, you know, the person
22:55
maybe can't be that bad if this person's
22:57
always cordial and this person's always friendly to
22:58
me, even though I might have not been
23:00
the most cordial to them.
23:03
You're not going to get an apology from
23:04
these kind of people.
23:05
What you are going to get is the
23:07
fact that they hire you back.
23:09
I think that's a very hard one for
23:14
a lot of people to digest.
23:17
You know, one day, number 28, your new
23:22
life will feel like home.
23:24
And you'll breathe a lot differently than you're
23:26
probably breathing now.
23:27
Number 29, seeing your old life from the
23:30
outside brings clarity you couldn't access from within
23:33
no matter how hard you try.
23:38
No matter how hard you try.
23:43
Number 30, leaving, guys, isn't betrayal.
23:48
When staying would mean betraying yourself.
23:51
What do I mean?
23:52
If you're staying and you are compromising your
23:55
core values, that would be betrayal to yourself
23:59
and that would be worse.
24:01
If you're standing at the edge of something
24:03
familiar, but it's misaligned, this is your reminder,
24:08
guys.
24:08
You're allowed to evolve without burning everything down.
24:12
And I say that facetiously.
24:13
Don't burn anything down.
24:14
Meaning, if something doesn't work in the kitchen,
24:18
don't throw out the whole kitchen sink.
24:21
Just fix the part that's bad.
24:23
Maybe it's a washer, not a plumber.
24:24
Or maybe it's just a faucet.
24:26
Or something simple like that.
24:31
Just because one thing is wrong doesn't mean
24:35
we throw out everything that it's attached or
24:38
connected to.
24:39
But some people do because they think that's
24:41
the best way to behave is to purge
24:44
their life by disassociating everything and anything.
24:49
So when somebody decides to leave your business,
24:51
don't make it hard.
24:53
Make it easy.
24:53
As long as they don't have any bills
24:55
due for you, just make it nice and
24:56
easy.
24:58
And by doing that, there's going to be
25:04
no issue and then if they decide to
25:05
come back later on, great.
25:09
When I was with this client today, I
25:11
said to myself, I still owe them time.
25:15
So I'm not going to beat them on
25:16
it.
25:16
I'm going to come back and say, hey,
25:18
you had time with me.
25:19
I just wanted to let you know there's
25:20
no charge for today because you basically had
25:24
time with me, so there's no charge.
25:26
But if you want me to come back,
25:28
there would be a charge for that.
25:30
And that we need to get paid for.
25:31
And we work in blocks.
25:35
Thinking about how you're aligned with somebody or
25:38
how you're misaligned.
25:40
That can not only wake up the person,
25:43
but can also wake up you.
25:46
And you might say, John, why should I
25:47
bother being nice to somebody if they weren't
25:49
nice to me?
25:51
True wrongs do not make a right.
25:54
I was always taught to be nice to
25:55
my elders, but be nice to everyone.
25:58
If somebody is nasty to you, you can
26:01
still be nice to them.
26:02
You don't have to fall over.
26:04
You can still be cordial and curious.
26:06
Okay?
26:07
But you don't go out of your way
26:09
for that person.
26:10
Okay?
26:11
You don't go bringing them cookies and cake.
26:14
They're not a client anymore.
26:16
They're not a friend anymore, whatever it is.
26:17
And you also have to realize that when
26:19
somebody gives you something, whether it's a snack,
26:22
whether it's breakfast, make sure that what they're
26:24
giving you is not, well, tied to a
26:30
I'm doing you a favor kind of thing.
26:33
And because of that, they feel like they
26:37
have control over you.
26:38
Keep the playing fields equal.
26:42
Deliver and grant them what they're supposed to
26:49
be getting.
26:50
If you're not giving them something, well then,
26:52
request if you feel something's unfair.
26:56
But sometimes people aren't fair because of the
27:00
mode they're in.
27:01
And I never realized this, but I've learned
27:05
so much in the last couple of years
27:06
that when people leave, they don't always leave
27:10
because of you.
27:11
They leave because of them.
27:14
I know that sounds weird, but when they
27:16
leave because of them and you're not the
27:20
problem, there's a good shot they might come
27:24
back.
27:24
I would have never believed that several years
27:26
ago.
27:27
Ladies and gentlemen, this has been Inspirations for
27:29
Your Life.
27:29
I am John Seymour, a serial entrepreneur, and
27:31
sometimes the bravest move isn't staying loyal to
27:34
the boat, but trusting the shore you haven't
27:37
reached yet.
27:38
I know that's a very hard thing for
27:40
a lot of people to realize, and I'm
27:42
not saying to abandon your boat, but I'm
27:44
saying when there's no way to save the
27:48
boat, then it's time to get out.
27:50
Don't do that right away, but be ready
27:55
to jump ship if you try everything else.
27:58
Have yourself a great rest of your evening
28:00
or day.
28:01
I'll catch you real soon, alright?
