Wake Up and Get After It: Do Hard Things Every Day · Motivation Mindset Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You're never going to feel ready to do hard things.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: It's rare that you'll wake up in the morning feeling
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: prepared to go after your dreams. Hard things are meant
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to be scary. They're meant to make you feel uncomfortable
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: because they require you to go to a place that's unknown.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Life is hard easy.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: It's not an option.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: But it's worth fighting. Is worth believing. It's worth giving
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: yourself a chance. It's worth mustering yourself, up standing up
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: inside yourself. It's worth fighting relentlessly, never giving up. It's
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: worth fighting a good fight. It's worth being around motivated,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: positive people. It's worth being up tempo. It's easy to
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: have faith and feel good when you're feeling good and
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: you have no pain, and your bills are pain and
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: you got a clean bill of health from the doctor.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: It's easy to be motivate it then. But when that's
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: not the situation, it's hard. When you look in the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: mirror you don't see the person that you once saw.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: It's hard. I know it's hard, but do it hard.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: The road to paradise starts in hell. You have to
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: take that bus, ride, that walk, that crawl, that flight,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: whatever it may be, back to hell consistently. Because here's
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: the thing. If hell comes visits you, and it visits
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: a lot of people, it's not going to leave. And
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: your hell is what you're willing not to acknowledge. You're
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: not willing to knowledge who you are, what your darkness is,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: what fuels you.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Whaw We all ask why we should work this hard?
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Why take that many classes? You know? Why take the notes?
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Why read the books? Why work that hard?
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: Good question? Boy?
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Best answer to why, I think is the second book.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Why not? Why not see how many books you can read,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: how many classes you can say, how many skills you
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: can do them? Why not see how valuable you can
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: become the marketplace to your friends, to your fans. Why
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: not see what you can introduce? Why not see how
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: far you can go, how much you can see, how
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: much you can earn, how much you can share? Why not?
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: So as we look at the future, we can decide
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: that from this day forward. Because I look at all
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: the dimensions of my life, looking at myself mentally, emotionally
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: and spiritually, I'm going to do all I can do
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: to develop me, to bring my talent out here, to
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: make a contribution to life.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: But it is easy enough.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Is it worth it?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yet? Yes, your life is worth it?
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: Why do you do this thing every single day? And
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: what does it mean to you? I want you to
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: ask yourself go too quickly every single day when you
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: get tired, when you're not feeling it, when you don't
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: value it, when you take it for granted, every single day,
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: why do I do this? And what does it mean
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: to you? Because if you say you do it for
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: a certain reason and it means something to you every
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: single day, you'll come out and you will never cheat it,
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: and you'll cherish every single app for the ability to
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: become greater.
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: That those minutes and those hours they turn into weeks
• 3:08
  Speaker 8: and months and years, and holding the line in those
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: critical minutes will put you in an infinitely better place
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: physically and mentally if you maintain the discipline. So work
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: through the weakness, fight through the temptation, hold the line.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: No one's coming.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: No one.
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: No one's coming to push you. No one's coming to
• 3:40
  Speaker 9: tell you to turn the TV off. No one's coming
• 3:43
  Speaker 9: to tell you to get out the door and exercise.
• 3:46
  Speaker 9: Nobody's coming to tell you to apply for that job that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: You've always dreamt about.
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: Nobody's coming to write the business plan for you.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: It's up to you.
• 3:56
  Speaker 10: You've got to put in the world where no one
• 3:58
  Speaker 10: else is watching. You have to convince yourself that the
• 4:02
  Speaker 10: things that are in your head, the self doubt that
• 4:04
  Speaker 10: has been imposed because of life and small setbacks, are temporary,
• 4:10
  Speaker 10: but the results you leave are permanent. Don't allow the
• 4:14
  Speaker 10: setbacks you once had be the thing to keep you
• 4:17
  Speaker 10: from going after your goals. Set those goals higher, stop
• 4:21
  Speaker 10: looking for validation from the outside, and start believing on
• 4:25
  Speaker 10: the inside that if I got up this morning, it's
• 4:28
  Speaker 10: because God has a plan for me and I need
• 4:30
  Speaker 10: to fulfill it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 11: You know you have the desire to achieve more, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 11: so what's it going to take for you to start
• 4:37
  Speaker 11: rewriting the story.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: In your life?
• 4:39
  Speaker 11: See, the problem is you have bought into this false
• 4:42
  Speaker 11: narrative that you are destined for failure because you come
• 4:47
  Speaker 11: from a failed family, you come from a divorced family,
• 4:50
  Speaker 11: you come from a.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Family of alcoholics. Blue collar, blue collar, we're just supposed
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: to be blue collar. No you're not. No, you're not.
• 4:57
  Speaker 11: You can make as much money as you want, you
• 4:58
  Speaker 11: can have as much freedom as you want, you can
• 5:00
  Speaker 11: have as much opportunity as you want, but you got to.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Go out and get it. Because I can tell.
• 5:04
  Speaker 11: You right now, every single one of you out there
• 5:07
  Speaker 11: have exactly what you deserve.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: It's necessary that you take charge, that you begin to
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: stand up inside of yourself, that you dry your tears
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: and you're not giving the luxury of feeling sorry for yourself.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: That you got to get in a fighting mode. You
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: can't surrender. You can't be a chump. You got to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: fight back. You got to stand up and start. So
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, what is I need to do? You
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: got to make yourself move even if it hurts. Many
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: people have been written all and said this one won't survived,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and they did. It's possible. You've got to believe in
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: your heart of hearts that it's possible that you can
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: beat this. Your belief, your faith, your drive, your determination,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: your persistence, your perseverance, your spirit. Greater is he that
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: is in you, what's out here in this world. So
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you've got to decide to say it's possible that I
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: can beat this, and it's necessary that I do this
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: in spite of the pain and the conditions. You've got
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: to mobilize your mind and your spirit. There's nothing as
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: powerful as a made up mind.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: Wanting to become a better version of ourselves is something
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: everyone desires. When we don't make a plan to improve ourselves,
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: we stay stuck or let our limited beliefs control us.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: But just wanting to change isn't enough. We need clear
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: goals and then take action to make a plan for
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: personal growth that works. You get results by doing, not
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: just talking. Thinking about problems won't solve them. Make a
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: plan for personal growth with things you can actually do.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: Work hard to overcome any obstacles that stop you from
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: reaching your goals. If you work hard and keep at it,
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: you'll become the best you can be. What's a plan
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: for personal growth? A plan for personal growth is like
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: a customized plan for your life. Start by figuring out
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: what makes you happiest in life. Then work backwards. Think
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: about the habits you need, the things you need to learn,
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: and the steps to get there. Personal growth isn't only
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: for people who feel stuck or have big problems. Everyone
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: benefits from having a plan to grow. Learning how to
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: keep growing helps you be more confident, reach your goals,
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: and feel satisfied. If you're not making progress, you're going backward,
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: So it's time to start growing. Finding your personal challenges, first,
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: decide what's important in your life to set goals for
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: personal development. What does your plan for personal growth mean
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: to you? Is it about getting better at talking to
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: your partner? Do you want to do well at work?
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Do you want to eat healthier or get in better shape?
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: Do you want to be better with money? No matter
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: your challenges, there's a way to achieve what you want.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Growth and success mean different things to different people, but
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: most personal growth plans cover four areas, work, relationships, learning,
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: and health. You can adjust your goals in these areas
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: to fit your life and keep growing. Work goals are
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: about your job. They can be things you want to
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: do sooner or later. For example, you might want a
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: better job in a year, a different job in five years,
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: and your own business in ten years. Work goals also
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: include getting better at your job by learning and going
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: to events. Relationship goals can mean finding love if you're single,
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: or making your relationship stronger if you're in one. If
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: you want love, you'll work on finding the right person
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: and getting over things that stop you. If you're in
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: a relationship, you might want to make get more exciting
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: or stop fighting. Learning means feeding your brain, learning new things,
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: and staying interested in learning. You could decide to read
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: a long book, learn to play a musical instrument, or
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: do puzzles regularly. Health is one of the most common
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: things people want to improve. It might seem like just
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: losing weight or getting strong muscles, but it's more. Being
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: healthy means living in a way that gives you energy
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: and strength to chase your other goals. Knowing the parts
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: of personal growth plans. There are many ways to make
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: a personal growth plan, but we can put them into
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: seven groups. One Skills. These are things you're good at
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: or can learn to do well in life. Know what
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: you're good at and what you need to learn to growth.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: To get what you want in your job, relationships, life,
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: or health, you need to learn more and be open
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: to change. Three Power. This is how much control you
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: give others over you to grow, take back some control.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: Don't let others control you too much. Four Improvement to
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: make your life better, Think positive and work hard. All
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: growth comes from improving yourself. If you don't try to
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: be better, you won't reach your goals. Five Empowerment. What's
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: special about you? It doesn't matter what others think. Feel
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: more confident by thinking good things about yourself and doing
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: things you enjoy. Six analysis. This means looking at what
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: you're good and not good at. No one is great
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: at everything. Be honest about where you need to improve
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: and what you can do to get better. Seven Goals.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: Having goals is important to make changes and reach your dream.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: Being ambitious won't help if you don't know what you want.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: The secret of success is learning how to use pain
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: If you do that, you're in control of your life.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: If you don't, life controls you.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: If you want your life to change, here's the source
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: of it. All ideas plus inspiration. The good news is
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: ideas are not that far away. I've got an excellent
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: phrase for you to consider, one that will serve you
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: well for the rest of your life. Everything you need
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: is within reach. The ideas you need for life change
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: or business change are within listening reach. They're within reading reach.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: In fact, there's probably a library not too far from you.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: The problem is most people pass by libraries, very few
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: walk in. Andrew Carnegie set up all these libraries across
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: the country thinking everybody would stop in, but no, almost
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: everybody drives right on by. Do you know how many
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: people own a library card in the United States? Three percent?
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: And guess how much they cost?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Nothing.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: The ideas are within reach, But here's the key question,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: who is going to reach. There's a simple Biblical phrase
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: that says, if you seek, you will find. But it's
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: very important to know that finding is reserved for the seekers.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: We don't find what we need. We find what we
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: search for. If you will search, if you'll try, if
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: you'll go, if you'll listen. Ideas are within reach, and
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: ideas are life changing. There's nothing so powerful as an
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: idea whose time has come. A business idea, a social idea,
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: an investment idea, a good health idea. All you need
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: is a specific idea to make an impact on your light.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Ideas can help you gather treasure, gather equity, and gather wealth.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Ten years from now, you can be right where you
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: are are now, or you can be in a new place.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: The difference between now and then could be significant in
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: terms of money, lifestyle, treasure, and equity. In ten years,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: you can enjoy an incredible life if right here and now,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: you make a small change in your thinking to start
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: you on the journey The key is to start right now,
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: gathering the ideas and making the changes that will take
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: you further along this new road. Ideas can change your life,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: and sometimes all you need is just one more good
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: idea in a series of good ideas. It's like dialing
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: the numbers of a combination lock. After you've dialed five
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: or six numbers, the lock may not come open, but
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: you probably don't need five or six more numbers. Maybe
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: you need just one more number, one more idea. Maybe
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: a seminar or a sermon can provide it. The lyrics
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: from a song could do it. The dialogue from a
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: movie could do it. Conversation with a friend might do it.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: If you keep your eyes and ears open, you'll find
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: that one last idea you need. Once you find that idea,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: the lock comes open and there's the door for you
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: to walk through. Just one more idea, no matter where
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: you get it may be all you need to open
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: that door of opportunity. If, however, the lock still doesn't open,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: you may be lacking in inspiration. Who knows why. Some
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: people are inspired and some are not. Some people find
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: a great idea and turn it down. Some people say
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: that it costs too much some people say that it's
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: going to take too much time. Some people are too busy.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: There are a lot of different reasons why some people
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: are inspired to take advantage of a good idea while
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: others pass it up. I call it mysteries of the mind,
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: and I just leave it at that. There are some
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: things I don't try to figure out. Some people buy
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: and some don't, some go for it and some don't,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Some change and some don't. And if you've been around
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: for a while, you can usually spot those who don't
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: take advantage of a good idea. A man asks me,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: how come all this stuff goes wrong for me? I say,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know. The most I've been able to figure
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: out is that those kinds of things always happen to
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: people like you. I'll bet he's one of the ones
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: who don't take advantage of good ideas. If he continues
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: on that path, he'll probably never find the right combination.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: That honor will always fall on the ones who do,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: like you.
