• 0:55
  also have an Audible version.
• 0:59
  But sometimes the Audible version might not be
• 1:01
  ready for a few more days because I
• 1:03
  know they're still going through some reviewing on
• 1:05
  Amazon.

  So this is Inspirations for Your Life.
• 1:38
  Today, like I said, is Friday April 10th
• 1:41
  2026.
• 1:43
  And the granular topic for today is Renewal
• 1:48
  is Actually Real, Series 5, Show 15, Episode
• 1:52
  7.
• 1:53
  And this is going to close out our
• 1:56
  master topic week.
• 1:58
  So I'm John C.
• 2:00
  Morley, serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video producer,
• 2:04
  podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student and
• 2:07
  a passionate lifelong learner.
• 2:10
  Pretty soon, as of next Friday, I'll be
• 2:12
  a published author on April 17th.
• 2:15
  So here's the truth, ladies and gentlemen, most
• 2:17
  people wait for change.
• 2:19
  Very few people live like it already happened.
• 2:22
  And that is the difference between staying stuck
• 2:24
  and actually rising.
• 2:26
  If your life does not reflect the change,
• 2:29
  the change is not real yet to you.
• 2:32
  And that can be a problem.
• 2:34
  Number one, guys, act like change is possible.
• 2:39
  Your behavior must reflect your belief.
• 2:43
  If it doesn't, you're gonna just cycle.
• 2:48
  You could spiral downward, you could just stay
• 2:51
  stagnant, but it's not a healthy thing.
• 2:54
  All right.
• 2:55
  Number two, carry fresh energy into old spaces.
• 3:00
  Do not bring outdated thinking into your next
• 3:03
  chapter.
• 3:04
  There's no need for it.
• 3:05
  Your next chapter can be completely different than
• 3:08
  the chapter you're currently in right now.
• 3:10
  And you don't even need to finish the
• 3:11
  chapter you're in right now.
• 3:12
  You can move to a brand new chapter.
• 3:15
  I think a lot of people don't realize
• 3:17
  that it's never too late to start again.
• 3:22
  You know, people have timelines or when things
• 3:26
  are supposed to be done.
• 3:27
  But it's interesting that people just don't really
• 3:30
  get certain things.
• 3:33
  And I want to tell you that when
• 3:36
  you believe something, and I'm going to go
• 3:38
  back to a saying I've used many times
• 3:39
  before, Henry Ford said, if you believe you
• 3:42
  can do it, you're right.
• 3:43
  And if you believe you can't, you're also
• 3:44
  right.
• 3:45
  So our belief sets up our mind and
• 3:48
  body to achieve.
• 3:50
  And so I talked about something new yesterday,
• 3:53
  which was kind of an interesting epiphany I
• 3:56
  had.
• 3:56
  And that's bar.
• 3:57
  And that is believable.
• 3:59
  Okay, achievable.
• 4:01
  Okay.
• 4:03
  And when we think about believable, we think
• 4:06
  about which achievable, right?
• 4:11
  That's important.
• 4:14
  Okay.
• 4:18
  Relieving yourself to, you know, the stresses of
• 4:22
  life can sometimes be hard.
• 4:26
  But we need to push a little bit
• 4:29
  each day.
• 4:30
  Remember, it's gonna get uncomfortable.
• 4:32
  I said that to you guys.
• 4:34
  Number three, renewal starts in daily choices, small
• 4:37
  actions create lasting transformation.
• 4:39
  And that's the most important thing I want
• 4:40
  you guys to get from today is that
• 4:42
  a small task that you do, but being
• 4:46
  done consistently over time will build momentum will
• 4:51
  help you grow exponentially.
• 4:54
  Number four, new life needs new habits, growth
• 4:57
  requires structure and repetition.
• 5:00
  So don't get stuck because the Joneses say
• 5:03
  you can't do it.
• 5:04
  The marks and say you can't do it.
• 5:06
  The bandwagon effect, don't get stuck on that.
• 5:09
  Because once you go down that pathway, it's
• 5:12
  not easy to let's say reverse not that
• 5:16
  you can't.
• 5:17
  It's like putting a truck, you know, that
• 5:21
  doesn't have what's a full four wheel drive.
• 5:26
  And it goes into a car and you
• 5:28
  can't back out.
• 5:29
  Once you get into that mud pit, or
• 5:32
  that dirt trap.
• 5:34
  It's very hard to get out if you
• 5:36
  even can get out on your own.
• 5:38
  Sometimes you might need help to get out
• 5:40
  people pushing it or a tow truck or
• 5:43
  something like that.
• 5:45
  Number five guys stop expecting old results from
• 5:48
  new intentions.
• 5:49
  Nothing changes without aligned action.
• 5:52
  And Einstein said, definition of insanity is doing
• 5:55
  the same thing over and over again and
• 5:56
  expecting different results.
• 5:57
  So why are you doing that?
• 5:59
  You're not insane.
• 6:01
  Change up what you're doing even change one
• 6:03
  thing.
• 6:04
  It doesn't have to be everything.
• 6:05
  Just change one of the variables.
• 6:06
  And you can see that there inevitably will
• 6:09
  be change.
• 6:10
  Number six guys, rebuild from the inside out.
• 6:14
  Identity drives everything you create.
• 6:17
  So you are your reality.
• 6:22
  You are what your perceptions are transferring to
• 6:28
  you.
• 6:28
  So perceptions are very important.
• 6:30
  And we have to be understanding of those.
• 6:33
  Number seven guys, let today reflect what you
• 6:37
  now know, awareness without action is wasted.
• 6:44
  I talked about awareness a lot in my
• 6:46
  book, I'm not going to go into that
• 6:47
  now.
• 6:47
  But awareness is something that got me to
• 6:52
  change my life over 14 years ago.
• 6:55
  But most people think awareness is this quick
• 7:00
  thing that you learn.
• 7:01
  It's not.
• 7:02
  It's a gradual process where you become in
• 7:06
  tune with your mind, your heart, your spirit,
• 7:10
  things you see, hear, touch, taste, smell, and
• 7:13
  even the proprioception of your hand of your
• 7:15
  feet of your limbs and different parts of
• 7:17
  your body.
• 7:18
  I think that's a really important thing.
• 7:21
  And hopefully you guys will definitely enjoy that
• 7:23
  in my book because I go very deep
• 7:26
  with that.
• 7:27
  Number eight, practice your comeback.
• 7:30
  Repetition builds strength and confidence.
• 7:34
  I know that we've all fell before.
• 7:36
  And it's not how many times we fell.
• 7:40
  Doesn't matter.
• 7:42
  It's how many times we got back up.
• 7:45
  If we fell five, and we got back
• 7:47
  up five, great, we fell 10, we get
• 7:48
  up 10.
• 7:49
  Great.
• 7:49
  If we fell five, and we only got
• 7:52
  up for problem, we fell 10, we only
• 7:55
  got up nine, we're still down.
• 7:57
  Those are problems.
• 7:58
  So practice your comeback.
• 8:00
  You don't need to be an expert to
• 8:04
  start or great to start.
• 8:07
  But you have to start to become that
• 8:09
  expert to become great.
• 8:11
  Many people I talk to like, Oh, john,
• 8:13
  I'm not good enough to do that.
• 8:15
  Neither was anybody else.
• 8:17
  So you need to start.
• 8:18
  So you can become that.
• 8:21
  Number nine, live lighter, clearer, stronger, remove what
• 8:26
  slows your growth.
• 8:28
  And when you find what slows your growth,
• 8:30
  you can change your life.
• 8:32
  Let me say that again.
• 8:35
  When you find what slows your growth, you
• 8:39
  can remove it and that will change your
• 8:41
  life.
• 8:42
  Now.
• 8:43
  Removing it does not cause an immediate change.
• 8:49
  It causes your awareness to change.
• 8:53
  And then slowly over time.
• 8:56
  You've noticed the patterns have changed.
• 8:59
  As long as the patterns change, you will
• 9:01
  move very quickly to your desired results.
• 9:07
  Number 10, guys, protect what has been restored.
• 9:12
  Progress must be guarded intentionally must be guarded
• 9:19
  intentionally.
• 9:20
  If it's guarded intentionally, then and only then
• 9:24
  will you be able to move forward.
• 9:28
  Only that protect what has been restored.
• 9:38
  And when we know that progress is guarded,
• 9:42
  we're a little more.
• 9:46
  I'll say cautious, but we're a little more
• 9:49
  discerning in the steps that we take.
• 9:53
  Let me give you an example.
• 9:55
  Let's say you're a kid and you're getting
• 9:57
  an allowance when you were younger.
• 9:59
  And you were given I don't know $10
• 10:02
  a week, whatever.
• 10:06
  And even though there was more money, you
• 10:09
  weren't going to get it until next week,
• 10:12
  next Monday, next Friday.
• 10:13
  So you needed to budget that $10 for
• 10:16
  things you might want to do that might
• 10:18
  be getting ice creams that might be getting
• 10:21
  other things your lunch and things were covered.
• 10:23
  But if there's something else you wanted, maybe
• 10:25
  there's a toy you want or something like
• 10:27
  we had a five and dime by us.
• 10:29
  And there are always these inexpensive things you
• 10:31
  could go and get.
• 10:32
  So what that teaches us is that we're
• 10:37
  discerning about how we're spending our money.
• 10:38
  We're discerning about how we make our choices
• 10:41
  in life.
• 10:41
  And these choices will not only define the
• 10:45
  moment, but they define our character, our integrity,
• 10:48
  and our entire life.
• 10:51
  If we stay on that trajectory, if we
• 10:54
  change, of course, things change in our life.
• 10:58
  Number 11, guys, renewal is maintenance.
• 11:03
  It's not magic.
• 11:04
  Consistency sustains everything in your life.
• 11:08
  Everything.
• 11:10
  Maybe you're saying to me, John, you know,
• 11:12
  I've done the consistency route.
• 11:14
  It didn't work for me.
• 11:15
  I get that it didn't work for you.
• 11:16
  That doesn't mean you stop it.
• 11:20
  It might mean that you probably did it
• 11:21
  one day, two days or three days, maybe
• 11:23
  another day, but you didn't get the results
• 11:26
  you wanted.
• 11:26
  So you stopped.
• 11:28
  That happens with a lot of lead generation
• 11:29
  systems that happens with a lot of business
• 11:31
  initiatives.
• 11:32
  People stop because they don't get the result
• 11:35
  when you keep doing something and it becomes
• 11:38
  a natural habit, something very easy to add
• 11:41
  on to your daily routine.
• 11:43
  Maybe it's messaging to people on LinkedIn or
• 11:46
  Facebook or what have you.
• 11:48
  And when you treat as a system and
• 11:51
  you don't expect anything, you just do it
• 11:54
  as a habit.
• 11:56
  Eventually, it will give you an ROI.
• 11:59
  So again, renewal is not maintenance.
• 12:01
  In the sense of it doesn't just happen
• 12:05
  once.
• 12:06
  Renewal is maintenance.
• 12:08
  We think about it being consistent.
• 12:10
  It's not magic.
• 12:12
  And maintenance we've learned sustains everything in our
• 12:16
  life.
• 12:19
  I was talking to President of my university
• 12:22
  just yesterday on a walk.
• 12:24
  And we were talking about sustainability at Montclair
• 12:27
  State University.
• 12:29
  And he made a very interesting statement that,
• 12:33
  you know, they have, you know, a cogen
• 12:37
  facility where they create most of their power,
• 12:40
  but not all.
• 12:41
  And being a gas fired environment, you might
• 12:45
  think that that is bad for the environment.
• 12:47
  But he was explaining how different nuances, okay,
• 12:53
  and producing in our state is actually giving
• 12:56
  us more of a sustainability pattern, because we
• 12:59
  don't have to ship it out.
• 13:01
  So those were very interesting things.
• 13:03
  And when we think about sustainability, a lot
• 13:05
  of us think about it on a grand
• 13:06
  level.
• 13:07
  But we can think about sustainability in our
• 13:09
  own homes and our own businesses.
• 13:11
  How do we recycle?
• 13:12
  How do we throw things out?
• 13:13
  What do we do in our lives?
• 13:15
  This is the kicker, guys.
• 13:19
  Today, do you throw all your garbage in
• 13:23
  one container?
• 13:23
  Or do you separate it out?
• 13:25
  Does your town or does your organization even
• 13:29
  participate in that?
• 13:31
  I know there's some that say they do
• 13:32
  it, and then you do it.
• 13:33
  And then I find out that they just
• 13:35
  lump everything back together.
• 13:37
  Because they charge a lot of money for
• 13:39
  the separation.
• 13:40
  But that's not proper.
• 13:42
  Okay.
• 13:42
  Number 12, guys, what rises must be sustained.
• 13:47
  Growth requires discipline over time.
• 13:50
  Growth does not shoot up because of just
• 13:54
  one action.
• 13:56
  Now it can drastically drop by an action
• 13:59
  you take.
• 14:00
  That's negative, but it doesn't always dramatically increase
• 14:03
  with just one action.
• 14:06
  Takes a series of actions.
• 14:09
  I'll give you an example.
• 14:10
  Posting on social media.
• 14:12
  A lot of people want to post ads.
• 14:14
  I belong to a lot of different groups.
• 14:17
  And my whole goal with these groups is
• 14:19
  not to advertise.
• 14:23
  It's to create an awareness in the groups.
• 14:27
  We have a philosophy on one day a
• 14:30
  week, you're only allowed to post business content.
• 14:33
  And then usually on Sunday, I choose that
• 14:35
  day to post nostalgia content, things about history
• 14:38
  in the town and things like that.
• 14:40
  Well, the thing about Wednesday is most people
• 14:43
  and for a while, I was branding my
• 14:45
  Wednesday post with one of my tech companies.
• 14:48
  But what I later learned is that you're
• 14:51
  better off to frame it as a question.
• 14:56
  And people get curious about it.
• 14:58
  And when they see there's no company mentioned,
• 15:00
  and when you ask a question, and they
• 15:02
  comment back, guess what?
• 15:05
  You can say, yes, we've been helping people
• 15:07
  do that for a while.
• 15:08
  If you want us to help you reach
• 15:10
  out.
• 15:13
  See, people value information.
• 15:19
  And the reason I know this is because
• 15:22
  when I started with this group, oh gosh,
• 15:24
  over 12 or 14 years ago, I wasn't
• 15:27
  growing.
• 15:30
  And it was because I was posting content
• 15:33
  that was about, hey, look at me, look
• 15:35
  at me, look at me, I'm not important.
• 15:37
  You are.
• 15:39
  So I changed my philosophy about a year
• 15:43
  ago, that I need to be giving more
• 15:45
  to the group.
• 15:47
  I don't need to worry about what businesses
• 15:51
  I have, what services I offer, but create
• 15:53
  curiosity.
• 15:54
  And that curiosity will get engaged with not
• 15:59
  overnight.
• 16:01
  The nostalgia posts obviously get results very quickly.
• 16:06
  The tech posts, questions like, you know, has
• 16:09
  anybody experienced something like this?
• 16:11
  Or I'm curious what you guys are going
• 16:12
  through.
• 16:13
  That creates discussion.
• 16:16
  When one person responds, even if no one
• 16:20
  else responds, they're seeing that.
• 16:22
  They're also seeing myself as a top contributor.
• 16:26
  I'm not the world contributor yet, but I
• 16:28
  think I'm like 1200 or 1400 points from
• 16:30
  that.
• 16:31
  That took some time to grow.
• 16:34
  And the reason it took time is, I
• 16:36
  wanted to make sure that people are getting
• 16:40
  to know me for my integrity.
• 16:43
  Not as a salesperson, and I'm not a
• 16:46
  pushy salesperson, but some people do that.
• 16:49
  This is why when I interview people for
• 16:51
  the Inspirations of Your Life show, the first
• 16:53
  question I ask them after I say to
• 16:56
  them, thank you so much for coming online
• 17:01
  and picking a time to meet with me.
• 17:04
  I just want to be clear with you
• 17:06
  about what this interview is going to consist
• 17:09
  of.
• 17:09
  It's going to take about 15 or 20
• 17:10
  minutes.
• 17:11
  And in this interview, I'm going to learn
• 17:14
  if you're a good fit for my audience.
• 17:17
  I want to also let you know that
• 17:19
  this is not a sales show.
• 17:21
  What that means is you cannot come on
• 17:24
  the show and pitch a product or a
• 17:26
  service.
• 17:27
  We can talk about products or services that
• 17:30
  you have worked with, but it is not
• 17:33
  a direct association to allow people to buy
• 17:37
  that product.
• 17:38
  Now I sometimes make exceptions when there's an
• 17:40
  author I say, hey, if you want to
• 17:41
  learn more about their book, but I don't
• 17:42
  push the book.
• 17:44
  A lot of people out there, and then
• 17:47
  I asked this other question, I say, and
• 17:50
  just tell me before I even get into
• 17:53
  my second question, I say, just curious, Joe,
• 17:55
  Mark, what show was it that you watch?
• 17:59
  Because I have a couple shows, right?
• 18:01
  And which show was it that inspired you?
• 18:03
  Which show did you watch?
• 18:04
  Did you watch, I usually say, which show
• 18:07
  did you watch?
• 18:08
  Or did you watch a show?
• 18:11
  And what makes you think we're a good
• 18:14
  fit?
• 18:14
  If they cannot tell me what show or
• 18:20
  what reason we're a good fit, I say,
• 18:23
  you know what, I thank you so much
• 18:24
  for your time.
• 18:26
  I know it's valuable just like mine is.
• 18:28
  And one of the things that we ask
• 18:30
  is that people do watch a full show
• 18:34
  or two, so they know if it's an
• 18:36
  alignment, and then come back with us.
• 18:38
  You know, nine out of 10 people don't
• 18:41
  come back.
• 18:43
  And that's okay, because they were just looking
• 18:45
  to pitch me, okay, a product or service
• 18:49
  before they even get on the show.
• 18:50
  And that's a big no, no.
• 18:52
  And the other thing they do is when
• 18:54
  they get on the show, they become this
• 18:58
  unmanageable monster.
• 18:59
  So I'm very good at handling these kinds
• 19:02
  of guests.
• 19:03
  And if something like that happens, we had
• 19:04
  something about a few years ago happen.
• 19:07
  Now, when we first started the show over,
• 19:11
  it's gonna be over four years, because it's
• 19:14
  four years.
• 19:15
  And basically, we're going into our fourth month.
• 19:18
  I'll tell you that I wanted everybody on
• 19:20
  the show, I didn't care.
• 19:21
  But now I've gotten very selective as to
• 19:23
  who do I want on the show?
• 19:25
  How do they align with my audience and
• 19:27
  myself?
• 19:28
  And will this be a good fit?
• 19:31
  And what I have found is, a lot
• 19:35
  of people will sometimes lie their way through
• 19:37
  the interview that can happen not often, what
• 19:40
  I make it a deliberate interview and ask
• 19:42
  questions that have required them to take action,
• 19:44
  there's a good chance they haven't taken those
• 19:46
  action like watching those shows.
• 19:48
  When I say that you watch our show,
• 19:49
  and oh, yeah, so several.
• 19:51
  Great.
• 19:51
  Just curious, which show did you watch?
• 19:55
  And why do you think we're good fit?
• 19:57
  Oh, john, that was so long ago.
• 19:59
  Well, if you're having a meeting with me
• 20:01
  today, and you haven't even bothered to go
• 20:05
  and watch a show with me, do you
• 20:07
  really think I should spend 10 or 15
• 20:09
  minutes to see if you're viable?
• 20:11
  No.
• 20:13
  So it was about three years ago, this
• 20:15
  guy had somewhat convinced me it was a
• 20:19
  lighter interview, it wasn't as tight as it
• 20:21
  is now, when we do the pre interview
• 20:23
  chats.
• 20:24
  And I let him know about, you know,
• 20:26
  there's no profanity on the show, and you
• 20:28
  have to sign a release.
• 20:29
  And he came back to me, so okay,
• 20:31
  no problem.
• 20:32
  And on the show, he did two things.
• 20:38
  He started to talk about his products or
• 20:42
  services.
• 20:43
  And then he cursed.
• 20:45
  We blocked it out.
• 20:48
  But as soon as he did, I said,
• 20:50
  you know what, Joe, look at the time,
• 20:53
  it has been a privilege and pleasure being
• 20:55
  with you.
• 20:56
  We actually have an emergency that just came
• 20:58
  into our desk that I need to cover.
• 21:00
  I hope you're doing very well.
• 21:03
  And good luck with all your ventures and
• 21:06
  take care.
• 21:07
  Bam, he's off.
• 21:09
  Well, thanks so much to him.
• 21:10
  We appreciate that.
• 21:11
  And now let's get to what the show
• 21:13
  is about.
• 21:14
  So the show is about integrity.
• 21:18
  The show is about not selling people.
• 21:21
  The show is about not using profanity.
• 21:25
  And that was the important newsflash, that I
• 21:28
  will not let someone come on my show,
• 21:32
  any of them, and try to dominate it
• 21:35
  with abusive language, foul language, or even manipulating
• 21:42
  it.
• 21:42
  So they're trying to push a product or
• 21:44
  service when there's no story about it.
• 21:47
  I had a company on about two years
• 21:49
  ago.
• 21:50
  And I knew it was gonna be one
• 21:52
  way, but it was kind of interesting because
• 21:53
  they built a product that the Yankees bought
• 21:56
  and the Dodgers bought and a few other
• 21:59
  baseball teams bought the Atlanta Braves.
• 22:03
  And so I brought them on.
• 22:04
  But I knew when I got them on
• 22:06
  the show, that they were gonna just fit
• 22:10
  into my mold, but they weren't gonna do
• 22:12
  anything more.
• 22:14
  They really didn't share the show out, nothing.
• 22:18
  So I was impressed because I'm like, gee,
• 22:20
  this is great.
• 22:21
  Now, I'm not so impressed with celebrities or
• 22:25
  people that have a big following because you
• 22:26
  know what, a lot of these people, I
• 22:29
  don't like to say this in a bad
• 22:30
  way, but they're jerks.
• 22:31
  They come on my show with this pompous
• 22:35
  shoulder ego.
• 22:37
  And they feel that, you know, they're the
• 22:40
  be all of their industry.
• 22:42
  That's great.
• 22:44
  But there's a humble way to approach that.
• 22:47
  And I get tired of people that think
• 22:49
  they can just do whatever they want.
• 22:50
  So I don't tolerate that.
• 22:53
  Number 13, build systems worthy of your growth.
• 22:57
  Structure creates stability.
• 23:00
  Structure creates stability.
• 23:01
  I found that even when you're starting out
• 23:04
  and it's lonely, your structure will create and
• 23:07
  build more.
• 23:08
  You may not bring hundreds of people on,
• 23:10
  but you will attract the right people, the
• 23:13
  right relationships, the right business relationships, the right
• 23:17
  opportunities because of your alignment, your energy.
• 23:22
  Number 14, feed what you want to keep
• 23:26
  alive.
• 23:27
  Attention determines the outcome.
• 23:29
  I've said before, wherever our thoughts go, that's
• 23:34
  where the energy is going to flow.
• 23:36
  Let me say that again.
• 23:37
  Wherever our thoughts go, that's where the energy
• 23:39
  is going to flow.
• 23:41
  Number 15, upgrade your standards today.
• 23:44
  Raise what you accept from yourself right now.
• 23:49
  Soon as you do that, you're going to
• 23:52
  notice a difference in communication with other people.
• 23:58
  Number 16, stop returning to expired patterns.
• 24:01
  Old habits destroy new progress, unfortunately, guys.
• 24:05
  But yet some people still go back into
• 24:08
  those old habits.
• 24:10
  Why?
• 24:10
  I'm going to tell you why.
• 24:12
  Force of habit, but because they're comfortable.
• 24:17
  And when we get uncomfortable, that's when the
• 24:21
  magic happens.
• 24:22
  That's when success starts to rear its head.
• 24:26
  And as long as those patterns stay, success
• 24:29
  remains.
• 24:30
  Number 17, live as if your future matters.
• 24:34
  Act like it's already real.
• 24:37
  Act like it's already here.
• 24:41
  And that will create a belief system in
• 24:43
  your mind and body.
• 24:44
  Very important.
• 24:46
  Number 18, let renewal touch everything.
• 24:50
  Partial change creates weak results.
• 24:53
  Let renewal touch every part of your life.
• 24:57
  Because of partial change, it's weak.
• 25:00
  What happens if we're building a new structure?
• 25:04
  And let's just say there are four legs
• 25:08
  on the structure.
• 25:09
  And we decide that we're going to reuse
• 25:13
  three of those legs from an older structure.
• 25:19
  And we just replace one weak structure.
• 25:23
  Those are the legs might have been used.
• 25:25
  They might be decayed.
• 25:28
  Might have not only lost their, let's say,
• 25:32
  strength, but they've also lost their appeal.
• 25:36
  And they might look bad.
• 25:37
  Of course, it can be painted.
• 25:39
  But again, don't do things partially.
• 25:41
  Do them completely.
• 25:42
  And I'm not saying you need to do
• 25:44
  everything today.
• 25:45
  What I'm saying is that you need to
• 25:47
  apply this to all areas of your life.
• 25:49
  So if you're saying right now that, John,
• 25:51
  I say no to things, don't just say
• 25:53
  no in business.
• 25:54
  Say no in your personal life.
• 25:56
  When you say no, you actually get to
• 25:59
  say yes to yourself.
• 26:00
  So don't say, well, gee, I'm going to
• 26:01
  say no, but I'm only going to do
• 26:03
  it in business.
• 26:05
  What good is that going to do?
• 26:06
  It's going to help 50% of your
• 26:08
  life or 30% of your life, depending.
• 26:12
  Number 19, guys, keep your spirit clean and
• 26:14
  your habits sharp.
• 26:16
  Clarity builds strength.
• 26:18
  I said this before.
• 26:19
  Clarity builds strength.
• 26:21
  Number 20, new beginnings require new discipline.
• 26:24
  Consistency defines success.
• 26:27
  Number 21, act like you believe in better
• 26:29
  confidence is shown through the actions you put
• 26:33
  forward.
• 26:33
  Number 22, sustain the shift.
• 26:37
  Do not fall back, whoa, into comfort.
• 26:39
  I know people want to do that.
• 26:41
  And remember, the next chapter of your life,
• 26:43
  it deserves effort, real effort.
• 26:47
  Number 24, live from the lesson, not just
• 26:52
  the emotion.
• 26:53
  Apply what you've learned, keep the lesson, and
• 26:57
  throw any bad emotions out.
• 27:02
  Learn from the lesson.
• 27:04
  Number 25, protect your peace like progress depends
• 27:07
  on it.
• 27:08
  Number 26, make renewal practical.
• 27:12
  Turn ideas into daily systems.
• 27:14
  Number 27, turn inspiration into structure.
• 27:18
  Discipline builds real results.
• 27:20
  So what are you waiting for?
• 27:21
  Start eliciting it.
• 27:23
  Number 28, let your life look different on
• 27:25
  purpose.
• 27:26
  Change should be visible.
• 27:28
  It's not hidden.
• 27:29
  Number 29, keep choosing what restores you because
• 27:34
  consistency builds momentum.
• 27:39
  I have our last point, which is live
• 27:42
  like renewal is real because it is, guys,
• 27:45
  it is real.
• 27:47
  I think that's important to understand.
• 27:50
  And in closing, here's the shift you need
• 27:52
  to make right now.
• 27:54
  Stop waiting to feel ready.
• 27:56
  Stop waiting for proof.
• 27:57
  Stop waiting for the perfect moment.
• 28:00
  It's never going to happen.
• 28:01
  Thing like the change already happened because real
• 28:04
  transformation is not something you talk about.
• 28:07
  It is something you demonstrate daily.
• 28:09
  When your actions align with your future, your
• 28:12
  life begins to reflect it.
• 28:14
  You gain clarity, you build momentum, you create
• 28:17
  results, and over time, you become an undeniable
• 28:20
  proof of your growth as a leader.
• 28:25
  You're not waiting for renewal, guys.
• 28:26
  You're living it.
• 28:27

  life right now by visiting BelieveandYouAchieve.com.
• 28:33
  Take care, everyone, and put these practices into

• 29:18
  Another great meeting here at the Franklin Lakes
• 29:21
  Chamber of Commerce.
• 29:27
  Again, we're all about building high-quality connections
• 29:31
  and relationships before any transactions even are ever
• 29:39
  considered.
• 29:42
  I know many of you go to a
• 29:44
  meeting so you can dump cards.
• 29:46
  We're not that kind of chamber.
• 29:49
  We're about relationships.
• 29:51
  We're the Franklin Lakes Chamber, and proud of
• 29:53
  it.
• 29:59
  The Franklin Lakes Chamber, Chamber of Commerce,
• 30:14
  built on high-quality relationships and integrity, not
• 30:21
  just a business card.
• 32:23
  Well, I got up very early in the
• 32:26
  morning at 4 a.m., went to Dunkin'
• 32:29
  Donuts, put a nice spread out, and even
• 32:33
  took some of the last dollars I had
• 32:35
  in my pocket.
• 32:37
  In fact, I was even 87 cents short,
• 32:39
  which I promised to give back to the
• 32:40
  guy.
• 32:41
  He said, don't worry about it.
• 32:42
  I still will pay it back.
• 32:45
  I've been sitting here since 5.30, and
• 32:49
  not one person showed up.
