  Speaker 1: Get It All Advice, Hezello, Helloa, Llall, Hello, and Rob Shooter.

  Speaker 1: Welcome to a special edition of The Naughty but Nice Show.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: So Monday to Friday. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: we do a twenty minute podcast on all the celebrity
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: news or the celebrity gossip of the day. We love it. However,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: as well as being one of the most dry gossip
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: columnists in the world, I'm also a best selling author
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of self help author I'm recognized as one of the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: leading experts on habits, on change, on self and so
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: On the weekends, we do these short podcasts only about
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: ten minutes to hopefully set us up to have an
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: amazing week, and amazing month, an amazing year, and amazing life.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Today's podcast is all about remembering that every smart person
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: sets a deadlon. How often do you put off doing
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: something that makes you feel uncomfortable? Saying I will do
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: it tomorrow is the easiest way to make sure it
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: will never happen. I know it's a lot easier to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: say I'll do it tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes unless
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you set a deadlon and you stick to it. No
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: one knows that better than I do. After almost a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: decade of putting things off and pushing away my dreams,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: all of that changed when I started being honest with
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: myself about the real reason I was doing it, The
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: real reason I was putting everything off until tomorrow, the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: real reason I could never get anything done. The real
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: reason was because I was scared, frightened to go after
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: my dreams. It felt safer to convince myself that I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: would get around to it one day, rather than letting
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: today be the one day of getting it done. Pablo
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Picasso said the following, I love this quote. Only put
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: left undone. How truthful is that, when it comes to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: getting stuff done, you really have two options, change or excuses.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It's that simple. Excuses are just our fears, desperately hoping
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to convince you not to do something newer, keeping you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in your comfort zone, in a place that feels familiar.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You are never too busy, never too old, never to stooping,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: never too fat, never to anything to make a change.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: You're making excuses. What you're doing is making excuses because
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you were frightened. Then next time you make an excuse,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: admit it. Admit that you are scared, and then this
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: is really important, set a deadline. Julie Andrews, who I love.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I've met her a couple of times, said quote. There
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: will be many times in your life, at school or
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: when you are a grown up, when people will distract
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: or divert you from what needs to be done. You
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: may even welcome the distraction, but if you use it
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: as an excuse for not doing what you are really
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: supposed to do, you can blame no one but yourself.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: If you truly wish to accomplish something, you should allow
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: nothing to stop you, and chances are you will succeed.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I would distract myself all the time. Now I understand
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that what I was doing was actually looking for excuses
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: because I was scared. I didn't think I deserved a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: good life. It's that sad, but it's true. Didn't think
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I deserved it. I lived in fear that one day
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I would be exposed as a total fraud. Now I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: know I deserve a great life and won't let anyone,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: including myself sabotaget. Don't be scared, be smart. When we
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: are honest with ourselves, our fears don't disappear, but our excuses.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Do you have to push forward even if your legs
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: are shaking, keep walking, even if your voice is trembling
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: with fear. Speak up and refuse to be silenced. Don't
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: forget you are smart and brave enough to go after
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: all your dreams. Mark Zuckerberg said quote, the biggest risk
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: is not taking any risk at all. The only strategy
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks. Smart
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: people are never too busy to make time to do
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: what is important. They don't cloak themselves with excuses to
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: stop themselves from doing anything new. Rather, they opt for
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: an extraordinary life rather than a safe one. You have
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to take chances or you're never going to grow. And
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: if you never grow because you keep making excuses, you
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: will regret it. Cameronda said quote, Your regrets aren't what
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you did, but what you didn't do. So I take
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: every opportunity me too, Cameron. Procrastination is not who you are,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it's what you do. Let me say that again. Procrastination,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: it's not who you are, it's what you do. It's
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a bad habit to procrastinate. It's not in your DNA,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: it's not your natural state of being. And It's not
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: something that was God given to you. No one was
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: born a procrastinator. Rather, some have a bad habit of procrastinating.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I know I did to break it. Write down all
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: things that you don't want to do today. The phone
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: calls you want to ignore, the emails you don't want
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to respond to, and the conversations you don't want to have,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and the tasks that you've been putting off forever. Now,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: start with the one thing you want to do the least.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Get it out of the way, and get it out
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of your mind. The very last person I want to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: speak to is always the first person I call. The
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: thing that I avoid the most is the first thing
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I get done in the morning. It does not matter
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: if you start scared, or late, or even start over.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: You just need to start, and once you do, you
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: will discover that that is the best way to silence
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: your fears. John Lennon said quote, there are two basic
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: motivating forces in life, fear and love. When we are afraid,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: we pull back from life. When we are in love,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: we open to all that life has to offer. We
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: need to learn to love ourselves first. If we cannot
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: love ourselves, we cannot be fully open to our ability
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to love others. Take a deep breath and have faith
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: in yourself every lesson, every challenge, and every hard moment.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Everything you are learning along the way will help you
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to get where you need to go. And always set
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a deadline. Ashton Kutcher send quote, The sexiest thing in
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the world is being really smart and being thoughtful and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: being generous. Everything else is crap. I promise you it's
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: just crap. People try to sell you to make you
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: feel like less, so don't buy it. Be smart, be generous,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: be thoughtful, and always always set a deadline. Hey, thank
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: you so much for listening to these weekend editions of
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: The Naughty but Nice Show. I know it's a little
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: strange having the in your ear Monday to Friday talking
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: reporting on celebrities, and then on the weekend doing this,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: but I love it, and our numbers are just so phenomenal.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I think we're really hitting a nerve here. We all
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: need just ten minutes, ten minutes. It's every weekend to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: think about ourselves. After all, you are the start. It's
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: not even nice with Rah
