- 0:29Good morning from the A coupe today, we're talking about
- 0:32bringing Out Your Excellence and that sounds.
- 0:35So awesome, bringing out your Excellency.
- 0:37So you might think that all has to do with, like Peak
- 0:40Performance and doing were, you know, getting into that, rah-rah
- 0:44straight up. I got to, you know, put myself
- 0:46into that head banging state to get there and that is the way to
- 0:50get there. That is a way to get to Peak
- 0:52Performance and there are multiple ways to get there.
- 0:56However, let's talk about setting the ground rules for
- 1:00Today in this one because how do you get to a peak State and a
- 1:04Peak Performance of anything that you're doing?
- 1:07I don't care if you're an athlete or you're a writer an
- 1:11artist business person, whatever it might be, that that path to
- 1:16Excellence starts in that skull of yours in that space of
- 1:22saying, okay, I've got to get the head out of the way of the
- 1:26heart because most of the time, the path to your greatness is
- 1:32blocked by your head. I can't begin to tell you how
- 1:36much I know that about myself and I know that about my clients
- 1:41because I see it day in and day out, what gets in our way.
- 1:46Well, very first it's those beliefs that get in your way
- 1:48about. Can you do it?
- 1:49Can you actually make something happen that you really
- 1:53desperately want to make happen? The answer is?
- 1:55Yes. Yes, you can.
- 1:57It does not matter how ridiculous it sounds listen.
- 2:00I'm Running a podcast that's now been heard in over 20 countries
- 2:06and I'm in a chicken coop. Now, think about that.
- 2:09I'm going to Chicken Coop, I'm going to place where most people
- 2:12like don't even give it a second thought, but yet, here we are.
- 2:16And it, was it a ridiculous idea, probably.
- 2:19But was it a great? Fantastic idea.
- 2:22Yes. But I had to get past my head,
- 2:25to run with it and this is where the Peak Performance where the
- 2:29path to Excellence. Where everything starts to take
- 2:32place in your head. So let's pause for a second
- 2:38right there and say when things go when you have an idea and it
- 2:41shows up the idea of how you want to perform, what you want
- 2:46to do to perform doesn't matter. The conditions, it's all around
- 2:50the subject of it. Let's say you have a subject so
- 2:52I'm going to actually I think it would be great if I just used
- 2:55what happened when I was doing thinking about the chicken coop
- 2:57because I think that will give you guys a Dia.
- 3:01So, when I came up with the idea for this, I was it came in like
- 3:07a lightning bolt. I always say that about ideas
- 3:09with me, they just kind of bam into my head and then all of a
- 3:12sudden I'm like, I'll get very excited and I'm sure most of you
- 3:15were in the same place. It's like, you get very excited
- 3:17about your ideas and then you go, well, here are all the
- 3:23reasons why this probably won't work, and that's when the head
- 3:27kicks in. So the ideas come in And then
- 3:31the head kicks in and the head starts to give you all the
- 3:34shenanigans. All the crap that comes out and
- 3:38it wants to tell you everything that won't work because that's
- 3:42its job. It's supposed to protect you as
- 3:44we know, the emotion show up on the bus because they are there
- 3:47to give us feedback and information to help guide us and
- 3:52make our lives better easier, more protected, whatever it
- 3:55thinks it's doing, it will download to you.
- 3:59And then it's our job to discern.
- 4:02What we want to do from there but this is right where your top
- 4:06performance, right? Where that show that greatness
- 4:10gets stopped. Because in those moments, we
- 4:14listen too much to that logical part of ourselves.
- 4:19And we haven't even had a chance to explore the idea.
- 4:23We haven't even had any any other chance to do it other than
- 4:280 V idea shows. Or the belief shows up where the
- 4:31want shows up. Like, my son is 13 and he says,
- 4:35I want to compete in Jiu-Jitsu and what's beautiful about this
- 4:39is he doesn't know what he doesn't know.
- 4:41So and he lived in a house with me for 30 years.
- 4:45So he's like, well, I'm going to do my vision board on this and I
- 4:49don't see any resistance to him saying, I can't do it because
- 4:55I'm small, he's not the biggest guy.
- 4:57He's a tiny guy and he trains with all Grown men because you
- 5:01know the kids classes are if you really want to compete and you
- 5:04want to do that as a competition, you doing it with
- 5:07kids is not necessarily ideal working out with men, is what's
- 5:12really ideal, so they can teach him the right way.
- 5:14So he but he doesn't have any resistance to it.
- 5:17I have the resistance to it. I go.
- 5:19Is he going to get hurt? Are they going to know to back
- 5:21off or they going to be able to give him a break?
- 5:23You know, all this stuff? Not trusting that there are
- 5:26amazing men and that they will take care of.
- 5:29Him and there are and they do. So I have to get past my head.
- 5:34And now when I same thing with the chicken coop, when the idea
- 5:37showed up, I had to say you know what, I'm going to put this
- 5:39stupidity aside and I'm just going to record a podcast and
- 5:43see how it goes. I'm just going to record one.
- 5:47I don't even have to put it out there.
- 5:48I'm just going to go out and make one recording because
- 5:51that's what Peak Performance do they start?
- 5:55They try. They go.
- 5:56Okay. Let me jump out there and do one
- 5:58thing and see how it goes. Yes.
- 5:59And then I can decide what's good, what's not good?
- 6:02What needs to be adjusted and that's exactly what I did.
- 6:05And before we launched this for those who have been with me from
- 6:08the beginning. You'll know, when you jumped on
- 6:11the first day, there were 30 episodes because I said I'm
- 6:14going to do this for a month after the first day.
- 6:16Actually, I probably like the after the first four days that I
- 6:19did it for myself. I said all right let me record a
- 6:21whole month and then see what shows up.
- 6:24See if I can do it because I said I was going to do this
- 6:26every day and that seemed ridiculous and absurd.
- 6:29But did it really well. It did to my head but to my soul
- 6:33and my heart know, so all Peak Performance starts here, my
- 6:37friends. So I'm going to tell you to
- 6:39start this for yourself as we go into the end of the year, just
- 6:43start there, start with the small stuff, don't allow your
- 6:48logical mind to get in the way of what your heart and soul are
- 6:51driving you to do and start in your heart and put aside the
- 6:57their worries of the head and just makes Small.
- 7:00Even if it's incrementally, small steps forward.
- 7:04Remember, this is all about your Excellence, your version of
- 7:07excellence and bringing it Forward.
- 7:08Has to take place one step at a time.
