• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to another episode of the Get Or Done podcast, where my goal is to help people reach their full potential physically, spiritually, and in business or financially, while I'm also challenging myself to reach my full potential in those three core areas of life.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: And you can even add family to it as a fourth core if you wanted to, but that's besides the point.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: Today's episode hits home.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, today's episode is something that I've had to deal with with many different people in the past few weeks.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and it's something to where I've helped lead people out of the struggle, and I want to talk about it because I think there's people that are listening to this podcast, and you have the same struggle.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: And so the other day, I was at lunch a couple weeks ago, and we were at Hot Dog Express in Long View, Texas, and we were eating some hot dogs.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: It was me and my and a really good friend of mine, and we were talking, and he had this goal of starting, um, or we were talking about like I asked him, like, if you could have this any dream life scenario come true, what would that look like?
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: And what do you think God would want you to do?
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: And he was like, Man, I really want to start um like a podcast around a certain topic, and I asked him, What have you done to make that happen?
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: He said, Well, I bought some podcast stuff and and I've got the idea, and I said, Well, what have you done?
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: And he said, Nothing.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Well, when are you gonna do something?
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: And he was like, I don't know, I always try to have time, but I was like, Well, do you have time to watch TV?
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: And he said, Yeah.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Could you do it during that time?
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: He was like, Yeah, I could do it during that time.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Okay, so are you gonna do it?
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: And he said, Yeah, I I can try it.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, when?
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: And he said, uh, this weekend.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Okay.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: So you're gonna start this weekend?
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, Yeah.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: And then I said, What are you gonna do to remind yourself to do that?
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what are you gonna put in place?
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: And he was like, Um, I could set a reminder in my phone.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: So I said, You wanna set a reminder in your phone right now?
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: And he did.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't know if he actually ended up uh starting his podcast on that day or not, but I was explaining to him during this conversation the the concept of this podcast, which that I'm doing, but really the get get or done principle.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: And I I had explained that to him prior to this, and it was so funny to watch because I explained this entire principle to him of the getter done principle, and he um just like heard it and then was like, oh whatever.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: And it was just it was really interesting because the principle that get her the get or done principle is essentially that when you want or need to do something, you do it and you figure it out.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's that simple.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: You you get her done in a man.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: Like if you want to start a podcast, set your phone up on a tripod in the closet, get a few lights, click record, and then start your podcast, and then do that every week, and then get better every week as you do it.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: I said the hardest part in the get her done principle is the first 90 days.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: The first 90 days of any new habit is always the hardest.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: And if you can stay consistent for 90 days, then you can be very, very successful as long as you approve upon every error um after those 90 days.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: But like before we even get into improving upon every error, which is the second principle of get her done, the first part the first part of get her done is just the ability to be consistent.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: If you can consistently do something every week or every day for 90 days, then you are setting a great foundation for whatever you're trying to build.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: And so it's as simple as if I stack a brick every day for 90 days, eventually I'm gonna look up and have a wall.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: And with that principle, there's also this other side of it to where and the saying that I've heard recently that that rivers don't carve canyons because water is sharp.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: Rivers carve canyons because it consistently pushes water over whatever the material is.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: And consistency makes canyons, builds walls, builds houses, builds governments, nations, um, organizations, and it makes things come to reality that were just originally thought.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: And it's as simple as doing the thing you need to do every day to make that happen.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: And so if you can stay consistent with something and do it on the days when you don't want to do it, and do that, then you're set up for success.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: But 99% of people can't even get to the part where they do consistency.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: And if you can be the 1% that can say, you know what, if I want my life to actually change, if I want to actually do something great, I'm gonna be the one out of 99 people that says yes when everyone says no because there's discomfort ahead of me.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: If you can accept that there's gonna be discomfort ahead of you, do it anyways, even the days you don't want to do, even if you feel unprepared or don't know how to do it, but you do it regardless, then you have the foundation needed to do what it is that you need to do.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: So, um, Garrett's behind the camera recording, but Garrett, is that clear?
• 6:02
  unknown: Yes.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: Do I need to add on that?
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: Any confusing part of that?
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: Put in the reps.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was Muhammad Ali said that he fears the man that does one punch every day for 99 days.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: He does not fear the man who does 99 punches in one day.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: I like that quote a lot.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: Um, if you can show up and run every day, if you can show up and record every day or post every day or do whatever it is that you need to do, then you're gonna win.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: Right now, I have on my reminder on my phone to post three pieces of content every day on TikTok and YouTube.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: So that's six pieces of content per day times 30 is however much a month.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but I'm doing that consistently every day, and I've got the consistency down.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: And this is when we transition within the get or done principle to the principle of approving upon every error.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: So once you've proven you can be consistent with something and do it regardless and figure out whatever it is you need to figure out.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: Once you prove that, you can then take what you've got and then approve upon it.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: And so, in the instance of a podcast like this one, once you get to where you're consistent, it's like, all right, how do I get more views for this podcast?
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: What do I need to do?
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: Do I need to change the lighting, the angle?
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: Do I need to change the topics in which we talk about?
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: What do I need to do to get more views on this podcast?
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: And you start analyzing your past consistency and you start singling out the things that have done the best and doing those things and then make trying to make those things better.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: So practically, what this looks like is you know, we haven't been doing this podcast for um 90 days quite yet.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: I would say we're probably 40 or 50 days into it.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: But, you know, after 90 days, we should take our this podcast and take the top five to ten performing pieces of content and then center everything around this five to ten.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: So out of that five to ten, create 90 different pieces of content out of that five to ten that did really good.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: And then you take that 90, and then you take what was really good out of that 90, and you shrink it down to the best five to ten out of that, and you just keep doing that.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: You keep getting better, better, better.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: Another practical way to look at it is look at what Elon Musk does with SpaceX.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: So Elon Musk will take a rocket, shoot it up in the air, figure out what went wrong, then they'll get the rocket back, they'll improve on the error that or the thing that went wrong or the thing that could be better, they improve on it, and then they shoot it up again, and then they get it back down and they improve upon it.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_00: You do that after 10 phases of doing that, you have a really good rocket.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: And so after 10 phases of this podcast of taking the best content, the best topics, and then making everything around that, and then taking the best content and topics out of that, and then making everything after 10 rounds of that, we're gonna have a pretty good podcast.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: And so um, that's your second principle of the get or done podcast, is or the not the get or done podcast, but the get or done theory or principle, whatever you want to call it.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: And so um, you have consistency, and then you have approving upon every error, and that's pretty much it.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: If you can do those two things, you're gonna be really, really great.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and things will happen, really good things will happen, just by doing those two things.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: Can you believe it's as simple as that?
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: It is.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: There's a guy that talked about how he was in a conference speaking, and he had all of these very successful people in the audience listening, and he was talking about um what one of the greatest, one of the things that all these successful people have in common is they all have a to-do list, they have a checklist, and they check it off every day.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: And I really liked that because that basically showed that if you have things that you need to get done, you get her done, so you you get it done, and then you create a new list on the next things you need to get done.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: And if you just do a to-do list, and in my case, I have a calendar and a in a to-do list that I use every day.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: I've used it for uh probably uh seven years now.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: I've had I've had consistently used my calendar and my to-do list.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: I could show you what I did in in uh October of 2019 on uh Thursday.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: I could tell you right now what I did because it's in my calendar.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: Um but uh I really like that principle because essentially what that guy was saying is like all these successful people they have to-do lists, but what's really funny about the to-do list thing is like they get the things done on the to-do list.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: Most people don't even get the things get one thing done on the list because they would rather have comfortability and stay where they're at and stay comfortable, then do the hard thing that needs to happen to make whatever it is better.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: And um another kind of example or scenario of this is like I recently bought a house back in September, um, almost a year ago.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: Up we we bought a house and moved into it.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: And once a week or once every two weeks, I will come to the house and think, how can I improve this house?
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: Is there a wall I can paint?
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: Is there a door I can fix?
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: Is there something?
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: Is there a rug I need to get?
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: And slowly but surely over the course of a year, I've made this house into a better house than when I moved into it.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: And that's just like an example of a personal aspect of my life.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: If you take it into the aspect of faith, this is really a really good spot when it comes to uh uh uh reading scripture, trying to understand and digest it, and then and then praying after.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: And so, like a really good foundation as a Christian is to read every day, understand it, digest it, and then go and pray to the Lord.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: So let me walk you a little bit through like my morning routine.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: What does a typical good morning look like?
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: Now, not every morning looks like this.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um, if I'm traveling, things will get mixed up, or if I had a really long night the night before with the babies or whatever, then it might uh be different.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: But my morning routine is I wake up at 5 a.m., 5 to 5:30, and I really struggle to get out of bed, but then I think to myself, quit being a freaking turd and get out of bed.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: So I eventually crawl out of bed, even though I don't want to, and then I put my running shoes on and then I start running, and I run for about an hour.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: So I do a one-hour run, and I get halfway through the run and I'm like, this sucks.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then I get to the very end of the run, I'm like, man, this is awesome.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm watching the sunrise.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: What a start to the morning.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: Just wait till it gets better.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: I shower, I get my stuff ready, and then I get in my car and I drive to work.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: I get to work 30 minutes early.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: I get to my desk, I open up the scripture, I read a chapter of scripture, I understand it, digest it, and and think deeply about it.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: After reading scripture, I go out the door, I walk down the road, and I walk back and I'm walking with God.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sitting there talking to Him, praying, asking them questions, listening, and I do my walk with God.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_00: And then I come back, and by the time I get back, it's 8 o'clock.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody's pulling in for work, I'm getting ready for work.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: I walk in and I get to work.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's my morning routine.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: That's a I mean, that's a great morning.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_00: Also, in that morning, I'm drinking some really good coffee.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: Like, it's a good morning, it's a great morning routine.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but like in that can is consistency and improving upon every error, and it it's really, really interesting because like that's me trying to reach my full potential of my faith, and then also my physical aspect, like my physical body.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_00: Because like the I I literally get two really good things knocked out first thing in the morning, like from five to eight, that's three hours I have to myself.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: Um, or 5 30 a day, it's like really two and a half hours.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: But I get two or two and a half hours to work out, eat some food, drink some coffee, get to work, pray, read, and that's a perfect morning.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_00: And honestly, when I get done, when it's eight o'clock, I'm like, man, what a freaking great start to the day.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: And the key is is if you can win your morning, you can win your day.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: If you can win your day, you can win your week.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: If you can win your week, you can win your months.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: If you can win your months, you can win your years.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_00: If you can win your years, you can win your life.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: And it's as simple as that, man.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: And it all comes down to discipline or consistency.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_00: The same, it's pretty much the same thing, consistency or discipline.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: Um, that's what it boils down to.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: And so it's not this big think tank strategic, how do I, what do I, nah.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_00: Jump into it, figure it out, get it done.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: Simple as that.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_00: Literally, I challenge you to just do what I said for it.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, if I say a year, it'll freak too many people out.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_00: Um, do what I said for three months.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: Do what I said for three months.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: Find something that you know you should do or need to do or want to do, and or God wants you to do, whatever it is, find something and do that consistently every single day for 90 days or three months, every day.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: Don't miss a day.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_00: And see how it goes.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I think there's um there's a challenge out there.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's called uh is it called 70 hard?
• 15:45
  unknown: Uh yeah, something like that.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: 75 day hard.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_00: 75 day hard, yeah.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: That's a cool challenge because that challenge is basically like work out twice a day for 30 minutes, read for 30 minutes, work out, yeah, work out for 30 minutes, uh, two times a day or something.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: But basically, you try this challenge, you try to do it for 75 days straight.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_00: And personally, I think 90 days is good.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_00: 90 days really builds a good habit or consistency.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I don't I think I guess 70 does it for some people, but for me, like 90 is pretty good.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, but it's it's a really interesting uh program.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: And if you just Google 75 hard or whatever, you can see that and give that a shot too.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, I mean that's don't be a turd, man.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: Don't die in the chair.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_00: So um if you're watching this or listening to this, don't be turd.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: Quit sitting in a chair and dying.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_00: I walked outside today, I made TikTok.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_00: I said, You ever seen a tree stop growing?
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_00: I said, No, because the only see trees you see that stop growing are ones that are dying.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: And so the same thing applies to people.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_00: If you're not growing, you're dying.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: And it's really funny because if you look at God's creation and how he does things in nature, it's a direct reflection of human behavior.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: And so we talked about this in a podcast that didn't record, that we thought recorded, me and Garrett, but we talked about how like your muscles grow when they're broken down and how you grow as a person after you were broken down.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_00: Um the tree thing, right?
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_00: That I just talked about, like trees grow and then if they stop growing, then they're dying.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um the the river concept we brought up earlier.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: If you just look at the patterns, if you look at the patterns of God's creation, it is a direct reflection of human behavior.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_00: And if you want to know how things are gonna go, look at God's creation.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: Same thing for capitalism, creating a business, it's very much like an ecosystem, like you see in the wild.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_00: And in capitalism, you got the lions and you got the zebras.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: And you can the cool thing about capitalism though is you can choose to be a lion.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_00: The cool thing about America is you can choose to be a lion, you don't have to be a zebra.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_00: And so um, yeah, I mean that's that is what it is.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: If you want my credentials, look at my TikTok bio or watch my other episode.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_00: Um and for me at least, when I have something hard that I am faced with, I look at that and I'm like, let's attack that.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: Not I don't look at it and think, oh god, I'm so scared, I'm gonna run.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: Like, that's not what happens.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: When I see a challenge in front of me, I think, how can I attack that?
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: And um and that's what I do.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, the whole get her done theory, I look at my to-do list, I get her done, I attack it.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and that's what makes momentum happen.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_00: So, with that being said, I hope that I inspired at least one person to take consistent action today, and even hope even more that maybe that one person will get to a point where they're so consistent they can start improving on what they've built.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and so that's all I got.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: This is all all I got for this episode of the Get It On podcast.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_00: It was really funny because um Garrett and I had filmed a podcast together for like an hour a couple days ago, and it stopped recording, the phone stopped recording.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: And that sucked because we had a really good conversation, and uh, but I think we could probably do it again at some point.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, but anyways, so you know, we're we're gonna have more episodes with guests, uh, we're gonna have more episodes sharing stories.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: I'm running a 50-mile race.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: I think next week I'm running a 50 mile race in in Colorado, and so the buddy I'm going with, I'll I'll try to get him on the podcast to talk about that.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_00: And um, yeah, so that's all I got.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: You got anything, Gary?
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_00: Any questions?
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: No, no.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_00: Get it done, baby.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: We've had a lot of caffeine today.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: All right, thank you so much for watching.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_00: I'll see you on the next episode.
