• 0:23
  Well there, hello everyone, and welcome to the
• 0:28
  ever-popular inspirations for your live show.
• 0:31
  It is Saturday, guys, and it's October 3rd,
• 0:36
  and it's so great to be with you.
• 0:38
  We have a brand new master topic, that's
• 0:40
  what Saturday means.
• 0:41
  We go from Saturday, we roll all the
• 0:43
  way through the week, and we finish up
• 0:44
  on Friday.
• 0:44
  If this is the very first time you're
• 0:47
  here, friends, I want to take the opportunity
• 0:48
  to say welcome, and of course I want
• 0:50
  to say thank you.
• 0:51
  If you've been here one time, five times,
• 0:52
  ten, a hundred, or maybe even more, I
• 0:54
  want to say welcome and thank you, but
• 0:56
  I also want to say those important words,
• 0:57
  welcome back.
• 1:00
  Yes, welcome back.
• 1:01
  It is so great to be with you
• 1:04
  guys here today on this wonderful Saturday.
• 1:08
  Like I said, October 3rd, our very first
• 1:12
  Saturday for the month.
• 1:13
  So again, it is so great to be
• 1:15
  with you.

• 1:27
  All right.
• 1:28
  So hello everyone once again, and welcome to
• 1:31
  the ever-popular inspirations for your live show.
• 1:34
  I'm your host, John C.
• 1:36
  Morley, serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video producer,
• 1:40
  podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, passionate lifelong learner,
• 1:44
  graduate student at Montclair State University, and so
• 1:46
  grateful now to be a published author.
• 1:49
  Welcome everyone to season five, this is show
• 1:51
  number 41.
• 1:53
  Today is episode number one, because it's a
• 1:55
  Saturday, and our new weekly master topic is
• 1:57
  Momentum Changes Everything.
• 2:00
  This week is about creating forward motion before
• 2:04
  we feel completely ready.
• 2:06
  We're going to confront hesitation, building confidence through
• 2:11
  small wins, stop waiting for the perfect conditions,
• 2:14
  and keep moving through difficult days.
• 2:16
  Recover when momentum breaks, right, and ultimately turn
• 2:21
  progress into something consistent.
• 2:23
  Today is Saturday, and as I said, this
• 2:25
  is episode one, it is series five, show
• 2:29
  number 41, and we're starting with today.
• 2:33
  Start before you feel ready.
• 2:34
  This is what happens.
• 2:36
  So, have you ever told yourself, I'll start
• 2:39
  when I'm ready, right?
• 2:40
  Here's the problem.
• 2:42
  What if readiness isn't something you wait for?
• 2:45
  What if readiness is something you build by
• 2:47
  beginning?
• 2:48
  So let's get into our 30 points, shall
• 2:51
  we?
• 2:52
  Number one, readiness often arrives after you begin.
• 2:57
  We sometimes imagine that confidence, clarity, and certainty
• 3:01
  are supposed to arrive first, but many times
• 3:05
  they arrive because you started, okay?
• 3:09
  Movement teaches you what standing still cannot.
• 3:13
  Number two, guys, starting creates information thinking cannot
• 3:18
  give you.
• 3:19
  You can analyze to your blue in the
• 3:21
  face something repeatedly, but eventually action produces the
• 3:25
  real data.
• 3:27
  You discover what works, what doesn't, and what
• 3:30
  needs to change.
• 3:31
  Your first step does not need to be
• 3:33
  impressive.
• 3:34
  Your first step has one goal, move you
• 3:39
  forward.
• 3:40
  It doesn't have to amaze everybody.
• 3:43
  It simply has to exist.
• 3:44
  It doesn't have to be pretty or perfect.
• 3:47
  Number four, action turns uncertainty into experience.
• 3:51
  Before you act, you have questions.
• 3:54
  After you act, you have experiences.
• 3:57
  Experiences give us something real to evaluate.
• 4:00
  Number five, waiting can make small challenges feel
• 4:03
  enormous.
• 4:04
  The longer something stays untouched, the larger it
• 4:08
  can become inside your mind.
• 4:11
  Sometimes beginning reveals that the mountain was actually
• 4:15
  a hill.
• 4:16
  Number six, beginning changes your relationship with fear.
• 4:21
  Fear can feel enormous while you're standing still.
• 4:25
  Once you're moving, your attention begins shifting from
• 4:28
  what might happen to what you're actually doing.
• 4:31
  Number seven, movement gives your mind something real
• 4:35
  to work with.
• 4:37
  Your brain can create endless hypothetical situations.
• 4:42
  Action replaces some of those hypothetical and gives
• 4:46
  us facts to anchor them to.
• 4:49
  Number eight, you can improve something that already
• 4:52
  exists.
• 4:53
  Most people think if it exists, you can't
• 4:54
  change it.
• 4:55
  Sure, you can.
• 4:55
  You absolutely can change it.
• 4:56
  You can actually make it better.
• 5:00
  I think that's an important piece.
• 5:01
  You can actually make it better.
• 5:03
  A blank page is difficult to improve.
• 5:05
  Once something exists, you can edit it, strengthen
• 5:09
  it, refine it, and build upon it.
• 5:13
  Number nine, give yourself permission to start imperfectly.
• 5:18
  Perfection is a terrible admission requirement for beginning.
• 5:22
  Let version one be version one.
• 5:27
  There can always be a version two, a
• 5:28
  1A, a 2A, a 2B, but you got
• 5:30
  to start.
• 5:31
  If you don't start somewhere, you can't change
• 5:33
  something that hasn't been started.
• 5:35
  Number 10, confidence often follows action instead of
• 5:39
  proceeding it.
• 5:40
  We think confidence says now you're ready to
• 5:42
  act.
• 5:44
  Sometimes action says now you have a reason
• 5:47
  to become confident.
• 5:49
  Number 11, one complete step can change your
• 5:53
  entire mood.
• 5:55
  Think about something you've been putting off.
• 5:58
  Completing even one part of it can create
• 6:01
  relief, energy, and a sense that you're moving
• 6:04
  again and again.
• 6:06
  Number 12, starting reveals what actually needs improvement.
• 6:11
  Before starting, you may worry about 10 different
• 6:13
  challenges or problems.
• 6:15
  Once you begin, you might discover that only
• 6:18
  two of them actually matter to you.
• 6:21
  Yeah, actually matter to you, and that's important.
• 6:26
  Stop rehearsing possibilities and create one, right?
• 6:29
  Number 13, you can imagine hundreds of possible
• 6:33
  outcomes.
• 6:34
  At some point, choose one direction and create
• 6:36
  something real.
• 6:38
  Number 14, replace am I ready with what
• 6:43
  can I do now?
• 6:46
  That question changes everything.
• 6:48
  Instead of evaluating whether you feel prepared for
• 6:51
  the entire journey, identify the next action available
• 6:54
  to you.
• 6:56
  Number 15, make the first action ridiculously achievable.
• 7:01
  Reduce the barriers.
• 7:03
  Open a document, write the first paragraph, walk
• 7:07
  for five minutes, make one call, send one
• 7:12
  email, organize one thing, make beginning easy enough
• 7:14
  that resistance has very little room to argue
• 7:18
  and get in there.
• 7:19
  Number 16, guys, use curiosity instead of pressure.
• 7:23
  Instead of saying, I have to succeed, try
• 7:26
  asking, what happens if I try this?
• 7:29
  And you might be pleasantly surprised about how
• 7:33
  your life sort of molds into that new
• 7:36
  perspective.
• 7:38
  I think that's an important piece that a
• 7:40
  lot of people, like, they just don't get
• 7:44
  it, right?
• 7:45
  They don't get that, and I think that's
• 7:47
  an important piece for a lot of us
• 7:49
  to understand, right?
• 7:52
  They really don't understand what that actually means,
• 7:54
  but it means something pretty big, okay?
• 7:57
  It means something pretty big.
• 7:59
  So curiosity creates room to learn.
• 8:02
  Number 17, you do not need the entire
• 8:05
  map to take one step.
• 8:07
  You need enough information for the next responsible
• 8:09
  move.
• 8:10
  Once you arrive there, you have new perspective
• 8:14
  on which to choose.
• 8:15
  Again, beginning creates possibilities.
• 8:19
  You cannot see from the sidelines.
• 8:22
  Movement introduces you to people, information, opportunities.
• 8:27
  Challenges and ideas that you may never encounter
• 8:31
  while you're waiting.
• 8:33
  So get started.
• 8:34
  Number 19, your first attempt is allowed to
• 8:37
  teach you.
• 8:38
  Everybody thinks that, you know, when you start
• 8:39
  something, you've got to be an expert.
• 8:40
  I got news for you guys.
• 8:42
  When you start something, no one's an expert,
• 8:44
  okay?
• 8:45
  So I think that's an important thing for
• 8:47
  a lot of us to realize, right?
• 8:50
  We have to realize what that means, okay?
• 8:53
  Number 20, your first attempt doesn't have to
• 8:56
  prove how talented you are.
• 8:59
  Let it teach you something humbly.
• 9:02
  Number 20, progress becomes easier when something is
• 9:06
  already moving.
• 9:07
  Starting can require enormous emotional energy.
• 9:12
  Once movement exists, continuing can feel much easier.
• 9:17
  That's momentum.
• 9:20
  I think it's something a lot of people
• 9:21
  shy away from because they're like, well, I'm
• 9:23
  not doing it right or I'm not at
• 9:25
  the top.
• 9:26
  Nobody started at the top, right?
• 9:28
  You have to do something first and then,
• 9:31
  you know, share from there.
• 9:32
  I think that's the whole thing that a
• 9:33
  lot of people miss is that nobody starts
• 9:35
  as an expert.
• 9:37
  Nobody starts as an expert.
• 9:38
  That's important, guys.
• 9:39
  No one starts as an expert.
• 9:41
  So number 21, action interrupts overthinking.
• 9:47
  Overthinking feeds on endless possibilities.
• 9:50
  Action narrows the conversation.
• 9:51
  Now you have something concrete to respond to.
• 9:57
  Yeah.
• 9:58
  Number 22, a five-minute start can become
• 10:01
  an hour of progress.
• 10:03
  Tell yourself you'll give something five focus minutes.
• 10:09
  Just five focus minutes, nothing else, guys, okay?
• 10:13
  Number 22, tell yourself you'll give something five
• 10:17
  focus minutes and actually stick to it, all
• 10:19
  right?
• 10:19
  Five focus minutes, it's manageable.
• 10:22
  And sometimes once you cross the starting line,
• 10:25
  you keep moving and that's okay, but just
• 10:28
  agree to five minutes.
• 10:29
  If it goes over, it goes over, but
• 10:30
  at least commit to five minutes.
• 10:32
  Number 23, stop requiring certainty before you choose
• 10:37
  to participate.
• 10:38
  Certainty is rare when you're doing something meaningful
• 10:41
  or unfamiliar.
• 10:42
  You can make thoughtful decisions without knowing every
• 10:45
  outcome.
• 10:46
  Number 24, learn while moving instead of waiting
• 10:50
  to know everything.
• 10:53
  Education matters, guys.
• 10:55
  Preparation matters.
• 10:56
  Number 24, but eventually learning and doing need
• 11:01
  to come head to head at some point.
• 11:04
  Some lessons are available only through participation.
• 11:08
  Yeah.
• 11:10
  Number 25, give yourself something tangible to improve
• 11:15
  tomorrow.
• 11:16
  Create something today, a page, a plan, a
• 11:21
  conversation, a workout, a note, a proposal, a
• 11:26
  first attempt, an email, right?
• 11:31
  Tomorrow, you won't be starting from zero.
• 11:36
  You'll have something to build upon.
• 11:39
  Every experienced person once had a first attempt.
• 11:42
  The person you admire for making something look
• 11:45
  effortless once didn't know how to do it
• 11:48
  either.
• 11:51
  Experiences accumulated beginnings.
• 11:52
  I think that's an important thing.
• 11:54
  And once we know the experience comes from
• 11:57
  those beginnings, like, wait a minute, now I
• 11:59
  understand.
• 11:59
  Now I see why this is working.
• 12:00
  Now I see why it's not working, right?
• 12:03
  We have to learn from our own mistakes
• 12:05
  and we have to not do them again,
• 12:10
  right?
• 12:11
  Number 27, starting today gives tomorrow something to
• 12:15
  build upon.
• 12:16
  So today's small action can become tomorrow's foundation.
• 12:20
  Do that repeatedly and suddenly you're not talking
• 12:22
  about an isolated action anymore.
• 12:25
  You're building momentum, what our week is about.
• 12:29
  Number 28, make movement more important than the
• 12:33
  appearance.
• 12:34
  So many people I know, they worry about
• 12:36
  the facade, right?
• 12:37
  Sometimes we're afraid of looking inexperienced, but looking
• 12:41
  polished isn't the goal when you're learning, right?
• 12:44
  You don't know how to do it.
• 12:46
  You don't have any idea.
• 12:47
  So you're learning, right?
• 12:49
  What happens when a new driver's on the
• 12:51
  road from school?
• 12:53
  They have a sign that says, student driver.
• 12:57
  Usually other people won't get annoyed and they'll
• 12:59
  actually hope maybe give them a little bit
• 13:00
  of leeway because they're just starting.
• 13:04
  Allow yourself to be a beginner long enough
• 13:06
  to become experienced.
• 13:08
  I think too many people wanna skip past
• 13:10
  beginner stage and they just don't wanna do
• 13:13
  anything, okay?
• 13:14
  That's an important piece.
• 13:17
  Your future can change because of one decision
• 13:20
  made today.
• 13:21
  I'm not saying every decision will transform your
• 13:24
  life overnight.
• 13:26
  I'm saying one decision can change your direction.
• 13:30
  And a direction is important, especially when it's
• 13:33
  a different one.
• 13:35
  Maintaining it long enough can take you somewhere
• 13:37
  completely different than where you've been going.
• 13:40
  And it's not that where you've been going
• 13:41
  is bad, but you wanna improve.
• 13:43
  You wanna become better, guys.
• 13:45
  So the only way to become better is
• 13:47
  to change your course or direction, even a
• 13:48
  little bit.
• 13:49
  Einstein said something a while ago, and that's
• 13:52
  a very important thing.
• 13:53
  You know what he said?
• 13:54
  He said that doing the same thing over
• 13:57
  and over again and expecting different results, that
• 14:00
  ladies and gentlemen, that is insanity.
• 14:05
  That's insanity.
• 14:06
  So the question is, why do people do
• 14:08
  it?
• 14:09
  I think they get stuck in a rut
• 14:11
  and they think, oh my gosh, this is
• 14:13
  where I'm going.
• 14:14
  But then they don't suddenly know how to
• 14:16
  get out of that rut.
• 14:17
  I think that becomes a very hard thing
• 14:21
  for some people, right?
• 14:23
  They just don't know.
• 14:25
  They just don't know.
• 14:27
  And then they get frustrated because they can't
• 14:29
  move forward.
• 14:32
  Number 30, guys, begin before confidence arrives and
• 14:35
  let action build it.
• 14:38
  And obviously, you know, I'm not experienced enough
• 14:40
  yet.
• 14:40
  I'm not experienced enough yet, but I am
• 14:43
  getting there.
• 14:47
  Getting there, yes.
• 14:49
  I am getting there.
• 14:53
  That's an important thing, guys.
• 14:56
  I'm getting there every single day.
• 14:59
  Not just today, but I am literally getting
• 15:03
  there every day.
• 15:04
  And you know, that's a one-step thing.
• 15:06
  It doesn't happen overnight, guys.
• 15:08
  No.
• 15:10
  It's something that we take, let's say, a
• 15:13
  progression on, and we decide that this is
• 15:15
  where we're going.
• 15:17
  We decide that this is where we're putting
• 15:19
  our whole life, right?
• 15:23
  We decide that.
• 15:24
  And then when we decide that, it's like,
• 15:25
  okay, I'm on this path.
• 15:27
  I'm taking this journey.
• 15:28
  No matter what, this is what I'm doing.
• 15:30
  I'm doing this every single day of my
• 15:32
  life, okay?
• 15:33
  Until I need a change.
• 15:35
  But some people, they expect immediate change like
• 15:38
  tomorrow.
• 15:40
  They do.
• 15:42
  I think that can be hard for a
• 15:44
  lot of people because they're like, oh my
• 15:46
  gosh, like what am I supposed to do?
• 15:50
  What am I supposed to do?
• 15:51
  Why am I supposed to do it?
• 15:54
  Right?
• 15:54
  I think that's important.
• 15:58
  So hopefully, that'll mean something to you.
• 16:06
  I mean, hopefully.
• 16:07
  I'm not saying to do something overnight.
• 16:19
  Does that make sense?
• 16:28
  Hopefully, you'll see a realization with this.
• 16:32
  And with the realization, you say, wait a
• 16:33
  minute.
• 16:34
  You know what?
• 16:34
  I need to change who I am.
• 16:36
  I need to change my character.
• 16:40
  Not from the public level because character comes
• 16:44
  privately, right?
• 16:47
  Publicly, character translates into reputation.
• 16:50
  That's what it translates into.
• 16:53
  And I think that's an important piece that
• 16:55
  many people, well, they just forget it.
• 16:58
  They think that this doesn't really matter, but
• 17:00
  the truth of the matter, it does matter.
• 17:03
  What you do in private is your character.
• 17:07
  What people see it as, well, that becomes
• 17:10
  your reputation.
• 17:14
  So as I said, begin before.
• 17:27
  So that's the thing, you know?
• 17:34
  Does that make sense to you?
• 17:46
  Hopefully, that means something to you.
• 17:48
  If it doesn't, then maybe you've gotta sit
• 17:51
  back and think.
• 17:52
  That's where everything comes together, guys.
• 17:54
  You don't have to wait until you wake
• 17:56
  up feeling fearless.
• 17:57
  You don't need perfect confidence.
• 17:59
  You don't need every answer.
• 18:01
  You need enough courage for the next step.
• 18:03
  And that is why our weekly master topic
• 18:06
  is this.
• 18:07
  Momentum changes everything.
• 18:10
  Momentum doesn't begin when everything becomes easy.
• 18:13
  Sorry, guys.
• 18:14
  Momentum begins when something finally moves.
• 18:18
  Think about one thing you've been waiting to
• 18:20
  start.
• 18:21
  Maybe you've been waiting for confidence.
• 18:23
  Maybe you've been waiting for more information.
• 18:25
  Maybe you want perfect timing.
• 18:27
  Maybe you've convinced yourself that you'll begin when
• 18:29
  life settles down.
• 18:32
  Ask yourself one question from me today.
• 18:36
  What can I do now?
• 18:40
  Not everything, but you can do one thing,
• 18:43
  even if it's a small thing.
• 18:45
  What's the smallest meaningful action or step that
• 18:47
  you can take, even if it's a micro
• 18:49
  step?
• 18:50
  Do it.
• 18:51
  Then notice what happens.
• 18:53
  You know a little more than you knew
• 18:56
  before.
• 18:57
  You have a little more experience than you
• 18:59
  had before.
• 19:01
  You have a little more experience than you
• 19:03
  had before, and that hopefully pushes you.
• 19:05
  You've created something that can be improved.
• 19:08
  And most importantly, you're no longer standing exactly
• 19:11
  where you were.
• 19:13
  That's how momentum begins.
• 19:15
  Not necessarily with a giant breakthrough.
• 19:19
  Sometimes it begins with five minutes.
• 19:22
  Maybe it's one call.
• 19:24
  Maybe it's one paragraph.
• 19:26
  Maybe it's one conversation.
• 19:27
  Maybe it's one decision.
• 19:30
  It's one step or one micro step or
• 19:33
  one baby step.
• 19:34
  Then you take another and another, right?
• 19:36
  So let's think about walking for a moment,
• 19:39
  right?
• 19:39
  Before you can walk a journey of a
• 19:42
  thousand miles, you're gonna do that, or even
• 19:44
  10 miles or five miles, you've gotta take
• 19:46
  the first step, right?
• 19:48
  If you're doing a relaxation technique, like a
• 19:51
  breathing technique, like I teach in my book,
• 19:53
  you've gotta do it the first time or
• 19:55
  the second time.
• 19:56
  And then it becomes easier.
• 19:57
  So you take the first step, you take
• 19:59
  the second step, third step, oh, I get
• 20:02
  the pattern, I get it.
• 20:03
  So now I keep repeating, I keep repeating,
• 20:04
  I keep repeating.
• 20:06
  It's important, guys.
• 20:09
  So that's the key.
• 20:12
  That is the key.
• 20:15
  And so I think when we start to
• 20:17
  realize what this is about, it'll hopefully change
• 20:21
  you, right?
• 20:24
  But I get that some people are scared
• 20:27
  about this.
• 20:27
  They're scared about making a mistake.
• 20:32
  Soon the person who was waiting to feel
• 20:33
  ready is becoming the person who is learning
• 20:35
  through action, right?
• 20:41
  Choose one thing you've been postponing because you
• 20:43
  haven't felt completely ready yet.
• 20:45
  Give it five focused minutes, just five minutes.
• 20:48
  No demand for perfection, right?
• 20:51
  No demand for an incredible result, just movement.
• 20:56
  When those five minutes are finished, you can
• 20:58
  decide what comes next because you may discover
• 21:01
  something important.
• 21:03
  Starting was the part that required the most
• 21:05
  energy.
• 21:07
  I think sometimes when we notice the momentum,
• 21:11
  we're like, yeah, it's going, it's okay.
• 21:13
  People say it's getting legs, right?
• 21:15
  It's growing.
• 21:16
  People say this all the time, but what's
• 21:19
  really happening?
• 21:20
  What's happening is we're changing, we're morphing.
• 21:27
  I think that's something that a lot of
• 21:30
  people, like they just don't get it for
• 21:33
  whatever reason.
• 21:34
  Not because they don't wanna get it, but
• 21:38
  because they are completely clueless.
• 21:43
  They're clueless.
• 21:45
  They're on a path.
• 21:48
  Maybe they picked the wrong path and they
• 21:50
  don't necessarily know how to change the path
• 21:51
  or how to pivot the path.
• 21:54
  Sometimes it's not getting off the path entirely.
• 21:57
  It's just pivoting, taking a slightly different turn.
• 22:04
  And everybody expects everything to be in large
• 22:08
  increments.
• 22:08
  I remember doing a project when I was
• 22:11
  graduating originally as an undergraduate.
• 22:17
  We're doing a work for a large company
• 22:19
  that manufactures lots of blades, small blades.
• 22:24
  And so we're with our professor and the
• 22:27
  project was to take this machine that was
• 22:29
  doing blades and people had to change the
• 22:33
  knobs basically or the dials to calibrate how
• 22:37
  the CNC machine was working.
• 22:39
  Now, this CNC machine was not a very
• 22:43
  high end.
• 22:44
  It was more just a cutting machine.
• 22:46
  It didn't, we added the CNC part ourself
• 22:48
  by automating the dials so they could micro
• 22:53
  turn.
• 22:54
  Little tiny pivots could make the difference to
• 22:56
  whether it chiseled out an inch or half
• 23:01
  an inch or two inches.
• 23:02
  Just a tiny little pivot on that wheel
• 23:05
  made a huge difference.
• 23:06
  And one, I believe it was every thousand
• 23:09
  blades we'd have to make a slight micro
• 23:11
  adjustment.
• 23:12
  So there might be a blade or two
• 23:13
  wasted, no big deal.
• 23:16
  That's key guys.
• 23:18
  Ladies and gentlemen, you've got to start, okay?
• 23:22
  And starting is the part that's the hardest
• 23:24
  for a lot of people, right?
• 23:27
  When you discover something important, don't waste it,
• 23:30
  apply yourself.
• 23:33
  Ladies and gentlemen, I'm John C.
• 23:36
  Morley and this has been another powerful, amazing
• 23:39
  episode of the Inspirations for Your Life Show.
• 23:42
  I thank you so much for choosing to
• 23:44
  join me today, Saturday, October 3rd, 2026.
• 23:51
  As we begin this brand new show master
• 23:56
  topic in our season five, show 41, momentum
• 24:00
  changes everything.
• 24:02
  I don't care whether we're talking about studying,
• 24:04
  whether we're talking about healthy habits, right?
• 24:08
  Losing weight, relationships, momentum changes everything.
• 24:14
  I know that sounds like something very confusing
• 24:17
  but the truth of the matter is when
• 24:19
  you do it, it's like, wait a minute,
• 24:21
  I suddenly get it.
• 24:25
  I suddenly get it.
• 24:26
  And I think that's something again that a
• 24:28
  lot of people just don't get.
• 24:32
  And the reason is they're like, oh my
• 24:34
  gosh, what am I supposed to do now?
• 24:36
  How do I handle this?
• 24:43
  That's hard for a lot of people, guys,
• 24:46
  because they're trying to strive for perfection but
• 24:51
  there's nothing perfect about starting.
• 24:54
  Starting is messy.
• 24:56
  You know, a lot of people sometimes refer
• 24:58
  to the middle as the messy middle but
• 25:00
  I gotta tell you the beginning is messy
• 25:02
  too.
• 25:03
  Sometimes more messy than the middle because you
• 25:07
  just keep dropping things and you're clumsy and
• 25:09
  you just don't know where to go.
• 25:10
  And I think if we can get started,
• 25:16
  if we can start sharing, you know, the
• 25:19
  things that work in our lives, the wins,
• 25:22
  and then from there, we move on and
• 25:24
  we decide, wait a minute, I'm doing the
• 25:27
  same thing over and over again.
• 25:28
  I'm doing what Einstein said.
• 25:30
  I'm being insane.
• 25:32
  Do the same thing over and over again.
• 25:33
  I'm expecting different results.
• 25:34
  That's never gonna happen.
• 25:38
  You gotta change something.
• 25:39
  You gotta change the input to get a
• 25:41
  different output, okay?
• 25:44
  If you put the same things in, if
• 25:47
  I put two in, another two in, and
• 25:49
  the operation I put in is add, I'm
• 25:53
  always gonna get four.
• 25:56
  Now, if I put multiplication in for that
• 26:00
  set, two times two, I'm gonna get four
• 26:02
  as well.
• 26:05
  If I divide, I'm gonna get a different
• 26:06
  answer.
• 26:07
  Two divided by two, one.
• 26:12
  So we've gotta be understanding of the choices
• 26:15
  we're making and we gotta see how they're
• 26:17
  filtering down to our life.
• 26:20
  That's probably one of the biggest things that
• 26:21
  I can tell you right this very, very
• 26:24
  moment.
• 26:26
  Remember, ladies and gentlemen, readiness doesn't always come
• 26:30
  knocking before you begin.
• 26:33
  So don't be upset if it doesn't find
• 26:35
  you right away.
• 26:37
  Sometimes you have to move first.
• 26:39
  Start imperfectly.
• 26:41
  Learn while you're moving, while you're adjusting, while
• 26:44
  you're adapting.
• 26:46
  I know that's not always comfortable, but I've
• 26:48
  said that success starts to form where uncomfortable
• 26:53
  territory begins.
• 26:55
  Sometimes you have to move first.
• 26:58
  You may not necessarily like that.
• 27:00
  Start imperfectly.
• 27:01
  Learn while you're moving.
• 27:02
  Build experience and create evidence.
• 27:06
  The evidence helps our mind, but really what
• 27:09
  it does is it also jolts our dopamine,
• 27:12
  which gets us to move almost magically.
• 27:16
  It's a chemical reaction in our brain and
• 27:18
  bodies.
• 27:20
  So create the evidence.
• 27:21
  That'll make life easier for you to move
• 27:24
  forward.
• 27:25
  And ladies and gentlemen, allow action to build
• 27:28
  the confidence you are waiting to feel.
• 27:30
  You might say, gee, I'm gonna wait till
• 27:33
  I feel it.
• 27:34
  No, do it anyway.
• 27:38
  Allow action to build the confidence you are
• 27:40
  waiting to feel.
• 27:42
  That's important.
• 27:44
  Your next chapter doesn't need a perfect beginning,
• 27:46
  guys.
• 27:47
  It needs a beginning.
• 27:49
  Keep moving, keep learning, keep growing.
• 27:52
  And you know what, ladies and gentlemen, I'm
• 27:53
  gonna see you on another show or episode
• 27:55
  real soon.
• 27:56
  And yes, do check out BelieveAndAchieve.com.
• 27:59
  Let's keep momentum building, and let's start it
• 28:01
  right now if you don't have it going.
• 28:03
  Take care, have a good one, ladies and
• 28:05
  gentlemen.
• 28:05
  Take care, have a good one, ladies and
