  Series 5, show 41, episode number 7.
• 2:00
  This is Friday, as I said, October 9,
• 2:02
  2026.
• 2:03
  Welcome everyone to the ever-popular inspirations for
• 2:06
  your life show.
• 2:07
  I am John C.
• 2:08
  Morley, serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video producer,
• 2:12
  podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, passionate lifelong learner,
• 2:15
  graduate student at Montclair State University, and a,
• 2:19
  yes, so grateful now to be a published
• 2:22
  author.
• 2:23
  Today we close this big loop, right?
• 2:27
  That momentum changes everything.
• 2:30
  Motivation can spark a beginning, but it cannot
• 2:32
  carry an entire life, right?
• 2:35
  So what happens on an ordinary Tuesday when
• 2:39
  you're tired, distracted, or just not feeling it?
• 2:42
  Maybe that's when the systems matter.
• 2:45
  Today I have 30 ways to make progress
• 2:48
  your new normal, followed by our complete seven
• 2:53
  -day journey rundown.
• 2:55
  So guys, without any further ado, let's go
• 2:57
  ahead and get started because I've got a
• 3:00
  lot to share with you.
• 3:01
  I hope that you enjoy this because if
• 3:05
  you listen to the show, guys, you're going
• 3:06
  to make a very, very big difference in
• 3:09
  your life.
• 3:09
  Now it is not going to happen all
• 3:12
  overnight.
• 3:12
  That is the first thing I want to
• 3:13
  tell you.
• 3:13
  It will not happen all overnight, but I
• 3:16
  can tell you guys, it will happen, all
• 3:19
  right?
• 3:20
  It will absolutely, absolutely happen.
• 3:23
  So I think that's an important thing to
• 3:26
  realize that it absolutely will happen, all right?
• 3:30
  It absolutely, absolutely will happen.
• 3:33
  And I think we just got to be
• 3:34
  a little bit patient to how things work
• 3:37
  and why things aren't going the way that
• 3:39
  you want.
• 3:40
  But I can tell you guys that this
• 3:42
  does work, and you will be in a
• 3:45
  position that is going to change your life
• 3:47
  if you just give yourself some time, right?
• 3:51
  You got to give yourself some time because
• 3:52
  when you give yourself some time, you're going
• 3:54
  to say, hey, wait a minute, guys, this
• 3:56
  is not what I signed up for, but
• 3:58
  you know, we live and we learn every
• 4:00
  single day in our life, right?
• 4:01
  I think that's a very important thing that
• 4:04
  we're able to do that.
• 4:06
  And a lot of people, you know, they
• 4:08
  get stuck, right?
• 4:10
  They get stuck because they're hearing one thing
• 4:12
  or another.
• 4:13
  And for whatever reason, they just don't really
• 4:18
  know like what to do, right?
• 4:21
  And I think a lot of people out
• 4:23
  today are saying, hey, you know, what do
• 4:26
  I do, right?
• 4:27
  What do I do?
• 4:28
  And I want to tell you that there's
• 4:32
  a lot you can do in life, okay?
• 4:33
  There's an absolute lot you can do.
• 4:35
  So I know a lot of you are
• 4:37
  saying to me, John, you're like, I don't
• 4:38
  get this.
• 4:38
  I don't understand this.
• 4:39
  But I'm here to tell you that you
• 4:41
  can get it if you just apply yourself,
• 4:45
  right?
• 4:45
  I think that's probably the most important thing
• 4:48
  that I can tell everyone here today is
• 4:51
  that you have more power than you think.
• 4:54
  So let's keep on that trajectory.
• 4:56
  Let's keep growing.
• 4:58
  And the more that we grow, the more
• 5:00
  that we can become, yes, guys, a better
• 5:03
  version of ourself.
• 5:04
  And I think that's what everybody really wants.
• 5:08
  They want to become that better version of
• 5:11
  themselves so that they can actually be amazing,
• 5:15
  right?
• 5:18
  Amazing because of who we are and what
• 5:21
  we're doing and all those things.
• 5:22
  But then I think a lot of people,
• 5:24
  you know, they get stuck.
• 5:26
  They're not going to trap because they're like,
• 5:27
  well, why is this going that way, right?
• 5:29
  So let's get into this, okay?
• 5:31
  Number one, motivation can begin the journey, but
• 5:34
  systems will keep it moving.
• 5:35
  I think that's an important piece that many
• 5:38
  people in life, well, they miss out on
• 5:40
  it.
• 5:41
  And the thing about it is that by
• 5:43
  the time they realize it, they've wasted a
• 5:46
  lot of their life.
• 5:47
  So I think that's a very, very important
• 5:49
  thing.
• 5:50
  So let's realize excitement gets your attention.
• 5:54
  Dependable habits keep your promise when excitement disappears,
• 5:59
  okay?
• 5:59
  I think that's a very notable thing.
• 6:03
  Number two, build a life where progress has
• 6:06
  a regular place.
• 6:07
  Your goals deserve more than leftover minutes.
• 6:12
  Make showing up expected, okay?
• 6:15
  Number three, schedule what matters before distractions claim
• 6:19
  the time.
• 6:21
  If your priorities aren't on the calendar, someone
• 6:24
  else's priorities, they fill it soon.
• 6:27
  Number four, guys, and I think number four
• 6:28
  is a really important one, and that is
• 6:31
  create routines.
• 6:34
  Create routines that make action easier.
• 6:38
  A familiar starting sequence removes friction.
• 6:41
  Begin with one familiar action, just one.
• 6:44
  Number five, reduce unnecessary decisions around important habits.
• 6:49
  Choose your time, location, and first task ahead
• 6:55
  of time.
• 6:57
  Number six, make your environment support the person,
• 7:03
  that's right, to support the person you're becoming.
• 7:10
  Put helpful tools within reach, and distractions out
• 7:14
  of sight, yeah.
• 7:17
  Number seven, keep your next action visible.
• 7:21
  Keep the next action visible, and when you
• 7:23
  do that, you'll have a lot of power.
• 7:27
  A giant goal can overwhelm you.
• 7:30
  A clearly written next step invites movement upon
• 7:34
  it.
• 7:35
  Number eight, finish today knowing what tomorrow begins
• 7:41
  with, that is.
• 7:42
  Before you stop, write down tomorrow's first meaningful
• 7:46
  task.
• 7:47
  Start with direction, okay?
• 7:50
  Start with direction.
• 7:51
  When we have direction, we can get clear,
• 7:54
  and then we can really figure out where
• 7:56
  we're actually going.
• 7:58
  Number nine, protect momentum without becoming obsessed.
• 8:05
  So without becoming obsessed, guys, understand that you
• 8:09
  can do more.
• 8:12
  Don't become obsessed with the speed.
• 8:15
  Fast isn't always forward.
• 8:17
  Move deliberately, not frantically.
• 8:19
  I know a lot of people that move
• 8:20
  frantically, like, oh my gosh, what do I
• 8:22
  do, right?
• 8:23
  Number 11, learn your productive rhythms.
• 8:26
  Notice when your concentration naturally peaks.
• 8:29
  Use those windows for demanding work.
• 8:33
  Number 10, work with your energy, intelligently, that
• 8:37
  is.
• 8:37
  So save deep thinking for your strongest periods
• 8:41
  and routine tasks for quieter moments in your
• 8:45
  life.
• 8:46
  Number 13, build recovery into your system.
• 8:51
  I think that's a key piece that a
• 8:53
  lot of people don't realize, but they need
• 8:55
  to be doing that.
• 8:57
  They need to be building that key task
• 8:59
  in, right?
• 9:01
  Because if you don't, you're going to find
• 9:03
  yourself stranded, right?
• 9:06
  That's a very important thing to understand.
• 9:12
  Rest isn't the opposite of progress, guys.
• 9:15
  It helps you return with the focus and
• 9:17
  resilience needed to continue in your life, okay?
• 9:21
  Number 14, measure enough to recognize progress.
• 9:25
  Track results that actually matter.
• 9:28
  Completed tasks, practice skills, or step toward your
• 9:32
  goal.
• 9:33
  Do not be afraid.
• 9:35
  Number 15, guys, stop measuring so much that
• 9:40
  tracking replaces doing.
• 9:44
  If updating your spreadsheet takes longer than the
• 9:47
  work itself, simplify what you're working.
• 9:50
  I think that's probably one of the most
• 9:52
  important things that I can tell you.
• 9:55
  Simplify it.
• 9:56
  Number 16, review what works.
• 10:00
  And then go ahead, ladies and gentlemen, and
• 10:02
  repeat what works.
• 10:04
  I think that's an important thing.
• 10:09
  Number 17, remove what repeatedly slows you down.
• 10:13
  Identify the obstacle or obstacles that shows up
• 10:16
  against, and again, preventing you to getting to
• 10:20
  your success.
• 10:21
  Maybe it's clutter, it's alerts, or unclear priorities.
• 10:27
  Identify them.
• 10:28
  Eliminate them in your life, because when you
• 10:30
  eliminate them, your life will change.
• 10:34
  Your life will change for the better.
• 10:36
  Number 18, keep improving the system.
• 10:39
  Around your goals, your routine isn't sacred.
• 10:43
  Adjust it as your responsibilities and knowledge morph
• 10:47
  or change.
• 10:49
  A lot of people I know don't wanna
• 10:50
  change.
• 10:52
  They feel, oh my gosh, if I change
• 10:53
  something, the whole thing's gonna be broken.
• 10:56
  No, it's not.
• 10:57
  It might actually get better.
• 11:01
  It might actually get better.
• 11:04
  That's important.
• 11:06
  Because maybe I said it's clutter, alerts, or
• 11:10
  unclear priorities, like you could be getting notices
• 11:12
  from your phone, right?
• 11:13
  Number 18, keep improving, guys, the system around
• 11:18
  your goals.
• 11:18
  Your routine isn't sacred, as I said, so
• 11:21
  adjust what you're doing.
• 11:23
  And number 19, let consistency become part of
• 11:28
  your identity.
• 11:28
  Each time you follow through, you prove to
• 11:32
  yourself that you're someone who takes action in
• 11:35
  your life.
• 11:36
  You're not somebody who sits on the sideline.
• 11:39
  Number 20, become someone who returns quickly after
• 11:43
  interruptions set in.
• 11:44
  Life will interrupt you.
• 11:46
  Your strength is measured less by never stopping
• 11:50
  and more by how promptly you resume meaningful
• 11:53
  work.
• 11:55
  Hmm, so we're allowed to take breaks.
• 11:59
  You know, in other countries, they actually have
• 12:02
  a reward system for people napping on the
• 12:06
  job in China.
• 12:07
  I mean, you would think that that's not
• 12:08
  allowed.
• 12:09
  They think that's an admirable quality to take
• 12:12
  a nap on the job.
• 12:13
  Hmm, I guess they have different priorities over
• 12:17
  there.
• 12:18
  Number 21, stop expecting yourself to be perfect.
• 12:23
  Don't get in the perfect crisis mode.
• 12:26
  A missed day isn't a verdict on your
• 12:28
  character.
• 12:29
  Learn from it without turning one imperfect moment
• 12:32
  into a reason to quit.
• 12:35
  Missing your diet for a week, no big
• 12:40
  deal.
• 12:40
  Just go back on the track.
• 12:44
  Number 22, number 22 is one of my
• 12:47
  favorites.
• 12:48
  Make improvement an ordinary part of your life.
• 12:53
  Growth isn't always a breakthrough with applause waiting
• 12:57
  for us.
• 12:58
  Often it's quieter choices repeated until it changes
• 13:03
  how you live.
• 13:06
  I think that's a real important thing.
• 13:09
  Number 24, allow your goals to evolve as
• 13:13
  you grow.
• 13:14
  New experiences reveal new priorities.
• 13:17
  Adjusting a goal thoughtfully can be progress, not
• 13:22
  failure.
• 13:23
  Keep the purpose while reconsidering the path.
• 13:27
  I know a lot of people that have
• 13:28
  done things and their boss or senior people
• 13:31
  say, oh, you can't do that.
• 13:33
  Not because it's not good, because they don't
• 13:36
  wanna look bad.
• 13:38
  They don't wanna know that there's a better
• 13:40
  way and your way, ladies and gentlemen, might
• 13:43
  be better than the way they're doing and
• 13:44
  they don't wanna hear that.
• 13:46
  That's poor management.
• 13:48
  Number 25, use success as a platform for
• 13:51
  the next meaningful challenge.
• 13:54
  I said, meaningful challenge.
• 13:57
  And I think that's a very important thing.
• 14:01
  Meaningful challenge, meaningful challenge.
• 14:08
  What does that mean to you?
• 14:12
  Celebrate your achievements, absolutely.
• 14:16
  Then ask what that accomplishment or accomplishment makes
• 14:20
  possible in your life.
• 14:21
  Let success open a door or two rather
• 14:23
  than end the journey before you wanna stop.
• 14:28
  Just because things get hard doesn't mean it's
• 14:30
  time to stop.
• 14:31
  Number 26, keep curiosity alive after achievement.
• 14:37
  Don't let reaching one milestone, close your mind,
• 14:43
  ask now.
• 14:44
  Questions, develop new skills and remain willing to
• 14:49
  be a beginner again.
• 14:50
  I think the success and key of life
• 14:53
  is to realize you are always a student.
• 14:57
  And if you decide you're above being a
• 15:00
  student, that's when you start losing traction in
• 15:04
  life.
• 15:04
  We always need to be humble, need to
• 15:08
  be humble.
• 15:09
  Number 27, please ladies and gentlemen, I say
• 15:12
  this to you and I say it very
• 15:14
  sincerely, help other people create momentum too.
• 15:19
  Encourage someone who's hesitating, share a lesson, offer
• 15:24
  a useful hand and celebrate their small wins.
• 15:28
  Progress becomes richer when it lifts others up
• 15:32
  high.
• 15:36
  A lot of people don't wanna lift those
• 15:37
  up high because they think that if they
• 15:39
  do that, it's gonna take away from them.
• 15:41
  But when we help others, we actually become
• 15:43
  better ourselves.
• 15:46
  That's the ego getting in the way that's
• 15:48
  saying, hey, I don't wanna help that person.
• 15:49
  I don't want them to get any better.
• 15:52
  Number 28, look back occasionally so you can
• 15:56
  see how far you've moved.
• 15:58
  We all look in our rear view mirror.
• 16:00
  We do that a lot.
• 16:01
  We go through the left, the right.
• 16:03
  We look at the center mirror.
• 16:04
  Look in that rear view mirror, see what's
• 16:06
  going on.
• 16:09
  When you're focused only on unfinished tasks, you
• 16:13
  can miss your growth.
• 16:15
  Compare today's abilities with where you started.
• 16:18
  I think that's a big kicker and a
• 16:21
  big key, guys.
• 16:22
  Where you started.
• 16:25
  Number 29, build a life where forward motion
• 16:29
  feels familiar.
• 16:30
  Time for another sprig of water here.
• 16:36
  You shouldn't need a crisis or even a
• 16:39
  burst of inspiration to act.
• 16:42
  Let's study purposeful effort become the part of
• 16:49
  an ordinary day for you.
• 16:50
  Don't just do it when it's convenient because,
• 16:52
  oh, you know what?
• 16:53
  I think I can try it today.
• 16:55
  Do it all the time.
• 16:57
  Do it all the time.
• 16:59
  Number 30, stop waiting to feel motivated and
• 17:03
  become someone who knows how to move.
• 17:07
  Motivation is a welcome visitor but it shouldn't
• 17:11
  be your manager.
• 17:16
  Let commitments and systems guide your next step.
• 17:22
  Guidance doesn't mean doing it for you, right?
• 17:25
  I think that's a real key.
• 17:28
  We have to learn these things.
• 17:30
  If we don't learn them, we're gonna be
• 17:31
  destined to repeat them and we're not gonna
• 17:34
  learn the lesson of life that we've been
• 17:36
  so wanting to know so very badly.
• 17:42
  Stop chasing momentum.
• 17:45
  Keep working on progress.
• 17:46
  But what does that really mean, John?
• 17:49
  Well, momentum is good, don't get me wrong
• 17:55
  but we have to work on progress.
• 17:56
  We have to make steps, right?
• 18:00
  We have to be consistent.
• 18:03
  One day we don't take 10 steps and
• 18:04
  the next day we take one or none.
• 18:06
  We wanna be consistent in what we do
• 18:10
  because when we do, we get rewarded.
• 18:15
  We get rewarded.
• 18:17
  That's powerful, guys.
• 18:22
  It's very, very powerful.
• 18:24
  And I think if you understand that whole
• 18:28
  concept, then you're gonna be able to say,
• 18:31
  wait a minute, I think this makes sense.
• 18:40
  Does that make sense?
• 18:44
  I mean, I'm asking, does it make sense?
• 18:47
  If the answer is no, then what does
• 18:52
  that mean to you?
• 19:00
  What does that really mean to you?
• 19:05
  I think it means that we've gotta look
• 19:09
  at things differently in life.
• 19:11
  A lot of times we wanna look at
• 19:13
  things differently but then we don't look at
• 19:15
  them differently.
• 19:15
  You know why?
• 19:17
  Because we're stuck in this paradigm.
• 19:22
  We're believing what other people say.
• 19:27
  That's a real problem, guys.
• 19:32
  A problem that I think a lot of
• 19:34
  people don't realize.
• 19:43
  Think about that for a minute.
• 19:50
  What does that mean to you?
• 19:52
  I think it means that we have to
• 19:54
  realize what we're doing.
• 20:02
  And if we don't realize what we're doing,
• 20:04
  we're never gonna be anywhere.
• 20:08
  Not because we can't be anywhere, but because
• 20:12
  we believe that we can't get anywhere.
• 20:16
  We have believed that.
• 20:19
  And once we put that belief in our
• 20:20
  head, it becomes our reality.
• 20:25
  It becomes our reality.
• 20:32
  And I say this to you because a
• 20:34
  lot of times, we think of one thing
• 20:38
  and then we're on the fence, can we
• 20:39
  do it or not?
• 20:40
  So Henry Ford said something, guys, a long
• 20:42
  time ago and I wanna repeat it.
• 20:43
  He said something, which is pretty amazing.
• 20:45
  He said, you know, ladies and gentlemen, if
• 20:48
  you believe you can't do something, you're right.
• 20:50
  But you know what?
• 20:51
  If you believe you can, you are also
• 20:54
  also right.
• 20:59
  You're also right.
• 21:02
  So that's a very important thing for us
• 21:07
  to just understand what does that really mean
• 21:10
  for us?
• 21:11
  How does that adopt?
• 21:12
  How does that play out in our lives?
• 21:14
  If we believe we can, we're right.
• 21:17
  And if we can't, we're also right.
• 21:23
  Sounds mind boggling, doesn't it?
• 21:27
  It's not meant to be mind boggling, but
• 21:28
  it is meant to give you an understanding.
• 21:33
  An understanding to believe that you have more
• 21:35
  power than you think.
• 21:43
  You have more power than you think.
• 21:50
  I think sometimes we hear this, we're like,
• 21:53
  well, how do we do this?
• 21:54
  Where do we go from here?
• 21:57
  Right?
• 22:00
  And then you're like, I don't know.
• 22:04
  And then you're like, what do I do?
• 22:10
  And then you're asking yourself, well, I don't
• 22:12
  really know what to do, but I know
• 22:15
  I need to do this.
• 22:16
  But you see, as soon as you believe,
• 22:19
  okay?
• 22:21
  As soon as you believe you can't do
• 22:23
  something, you've automatically X'd off your chances.
• 22:31
  You've X'd off your chances.
• 22:34
  Not because you're not smart or anything like
• 22:36
  that.
• 22:39
  Comes down to a lot of stuff.
• 22:41
  Comes down to your ego.
• 22:43
  Your belief is really important.
• 22:45
  So now I wanna go back and put
• 22:49
  our week in review.
• 22:50
  Saturday, we started out, we discovered that action
• 22:55
  creates energy.
• 22:57
  Starting before you're completely ready can produce the
• 23:00
  clarity that endless thinking cannot.
• 23:04
  Sunday, we decided.
• 23:08
  We confronted hesitation.
• 23:10
  We chose a direction and decided to take
• 23:14
  responsibility, the bull by the horns for your
• 23:17
  next step.
• 23:17
  Instead of waiting for certainty, get rid of
• 23:21
  hesitation.
• 23:22
  Monday, we rolled into winning.
• 23:25
  We saw how small victories build confidence.
• 23:30
  Each complete action gives you proof that you
• 23:33
  can keep going.
• 23:34
  Anything you do in life, social, business, et
• 23:38
  cetera.
• 23:40
  Tuesday, we went into adapt mode.
• 23:43
  We stopped waiting for perfect conditions.
• 23:45
  When life changes, the circumstances change your approach.
• 23:49
  Without abandoning what matters, on Wednesday, we rolled
• 23:54
  into continuing.
• 23:57
  We learned that difficult days still count.
• 24:02
  Doing a little bit is still enough.
• 24:05
  Show steady, continuous effort as it'll carry you
• 24:10
  forward.
• 24:10
  Even when results aren't visible just yet.
• 24:15
  Thursday, guys, we talked about restarting.
• 24:19
  We learned that losing momentum doesn't erase our
• 24:22
  progress.
• 24:24
  Return with one useful action instead of punishing
• 24:27
  yourself for the interruption.
• 24:28
  So many people like, oh my gosh, I've
• 24:30
  gotta do this.
• 24:31
  I've gotta do this.
• 24:31
  And it's because you feel that you have
• 24:34
  to punish yourself.
• 24:35
  You do not need to punish yourself at
• 24:38
  all, guys.
• 24:39
  A lot of people think they do.
• 24:41
  And this is a big problem for so
• 24:43
  many people.
• 24:44
  On Friday, which is today, we wrapped up
• 24:48
  with sustaining.
• 24:49
  Today, we built and learned how to build
• 24:51
  routines like protecting our energy and making things
• 24:55
  consistent, being part of our identity.
• 24:58
  So when we make these skills part of
• 25:03
  our everyday life, life gets easier.
• 25:06
  We achieve our goal quicker and with less
• 25:10
  effort.
• 25:12
  Nobody said we had to put all of
• 25:14
  our effort to our burning out.
• 25:15
  Nobody said we had to do that.
• 25:17
  We can work smarter.
• 25:19
  We can build those routines and create a
• 25:24
  better identity.
• 25:25
  That's how temporary excitement becomes, well, lasting progress.
• 25:32
  But many people never give it a chance.
• 25:34
  They just say, well, you know, I can't
• 25:37
  and I'm never gonna be able to.
• 25:40
  That's sad.
• 25:41
  Because there's so much, ladies and gentlemen, that
• 25:43
  you can do right now, but you just
• 25:46
  gotta give yourself a chance.
• 25:47
  You've just got to listen.
• 25:54
  You've just got to listen.
• 26:02
  Does that make sense, guys?
• 26:04
  I mean, I'm just asking you.
• 26:10
  I'm just asking.
• 26:13
  What does that mean to you right now?
• 26:16
  Or what did it mean to you a
• 26:17
  week ago?
• 26:17
  What did it mean to you a year
• 26:19
  ago?
• 26:20
  And think about those differences right now today.
• 26:24
  So we start, we decide, we win, we
• 26:29
  adapt, we continue, we restart, we sustain.
• 26:34
  Let me say it again.
• 26:35
  We start, we decide, we win, we adapt,
• 26:41
  we continue, we restart, we sustain, and we
• 26:45
  do it again.
• 26:45
  See, that's the momentum that we have that'll
• 26:49
  change everything journey.
• 26:53
  And here's my challenge.
• 26:56
  Choose one action you could repeat tomorrow or
• 26:59
  the next day if it's a holiday.
• 27:01
  Put it on your calendar right now.
• 27:05
  Make it easy to begin and follow through
• 27:08
  even if motivation doesn't show up.
• 27:10
  I'll give you an example.
• 27:11
  I'm putting a task on my calendar tomorrow
• 27:14
  that I'm gonna start brainstorming for my new
• 27:16
  book, which is the truth about AI, the
• 27:19
  world's never gonna tell you.
• 27:20
  I'm putting on my calendar so I can
• 27:22
  start.
• 27:25
  Now, that wasn't supposed to brainstorm until December,
• 27:27
  but I'm gonna make that choice now.
• 27:31
  Put it on your calendar, make it easy
• 27:35
  to begin and follow through.
• 27:37
