0:24
Well, hey guys, and welcome to, yes, Inspirations
0:28
for Your Life.
0:29
I would say it's Happy Friday, but actually
0:32
it's not Happy Friday.
0:34
For those of you that know, I'm religious
0:36
and I celebrate, well, I commemorate Good Friday,
0:40
the death of our Lord.
0:43
Again, I don't make the show really religious,
0:45
but it isn't a happy Friday, so it
0:47
is a good Friday.
0:48
I would say, again, for us, Easter Sunday
0:50
is coming up.
0:51
For those of you celebrating Passover, Happy Passover
0:53
for you, and yeah, it's great to be
0:56
with you guys.

Guys, in just about two weeks from today,
1:24
if you're watching the show live on April
1:26
3rd, I'm going to be officially become an
1:29
author.
1:30
My motivational book has been through all the
1:33
processes, the publishing, verification and stuff like that,
1:38
so really excited about that.
1:39
I'll talk more about the book later on
1:42
as that's coming up.
1:43
Incidentally, you'll be able to get more information

1:49
You obviously can.
1:50
It is great to be with all of
1:52
you here on the show.
1:55
Let's dig right in, but before I do,
1:57
if you're thirsty, you're hungry or what have
1:58
you, feel free to go grab something and
2:00
come on back to the show.
2:03
All right, guys, so welcome everyone to, yes,
2:06
Inspirations for Your Life.
2:08
I'm John C.
2:10
Morley, serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video producer,
2:13
podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student, and
2:16
a passionate lifelong learner.
2:18
And yes, pretty soon, in less than, it's
2:21
actually two weeks, not the 10th, but the
2:23
17th, I made the dedication and the book
2:26
goes live.
2:28
It'll be available in Kindle version, it'll be
2:30
available in a hardcover book, it's a six
2:34
by nine, as well as on that date
2:36
or shortly after the audio version will be
2:40
available.
2:41
All right, guys, so real excited about that.
2:43
So on this episode today of Inspirations for
2:45
Your Life, I'm focusing on building real momentum,
2:51
turning small intentional actions into consistent progress, sharpening
2:56
focus and creating unstoppable forward motion.
2:59
I think that's something a lot of people,
3:02
I don't know, I think they just kind
3:03
of get stuck in the doldrums about that.
3:05
Every step you take, guys, it matters, and
3:07
momentum compounds when you act deliberately.
3:11
So today's show is entitled Build Real Momentum,
3:17
series five, show 14, episode number seven.
3:21
Now if you're wondering what the master topic
3:24
is for this week, and we're kind of
3:26
closing it out today, it's a really good
3:28
one.
3:28
They're always good ones, so I can't say
3:29
they're ever bad.
3:30
But the master topic is owning your focus,
3:34
and we hone in on clarity, courage, and
3:36
momentum.
3:37
Sharpening your perception, acting decisively, and maintaining momentum
3:40
through intentional choices.
3:43
Number one, guys, momentum changes everything.
3:48
Small consistent steps transform results, okay, in life
3:55
and work.
3:57
Number two, progress builds power.
4:00
Each action strengthens confidence, skills, and influence.
4:04
So be mindful of that, and be aware
4:06
of what's going on on the road, because
4:08
I think a lot of people don't realize
4:10
the true intentionalism that they actually have, all
4:14
right?
4:14
Number three, guys, keep moving forward.
4:17
Avoid analysis paralysis.
4:19
I know so many people that get stuck
4:20
in that phase, and then it's like, oh
4:21
my gosh, what do I do, because I'm
4:23
stuck in analyzing everything, right?
4:24
Some people call that OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder.
4:28
I remember when I was younger, and there
4:31
was a telephone cord, you know how we
4:32
have the telephone cord on the phone?
4:34
Well, I remember that we had one of
4:37
these princess, they called it a slimline princess,
4:41
and we had them at home, they were,
4:44
I think we had them in like an
4:45
ivory, it was like a, actually it was
4:48
like, they called it ivory, it was a
4:49
beige color.
4:50
And so they were touchstone, they had lights
4:55
on them, some were, the princess either had
4:58
green lights, or they had white lights, they
5:00
were either the little small round buttons, or
5:02
they had the big green button, which I
5:03
prefer the big green buttons.
5:04
But the princess traditionally had the small round
5:07
buttons, to be a little more elegant, I
5:09
don't know.
5:10
It had the ringer switch on the side.
5:12
And so there was a cord, and that
5:16
cord, when you put it back, somehow, if
5:19
you did not properly put the phone back
5:21
at the time, it started getting into this
5:23
twist, and that used to drive me insane.
5:25
So what I do, well, for many years,
5:27
I kept unplugging the thing, letting it untwist.
5:29
I bought one of these untwisters.
5:32
And then, you know, now if the cord's
5:34
there, it's not a big deal, if it's
5:36
bad, I'll just gotta take the phone off
5:37
the hook and I'll fix it.
5:38
But I don't spend a long time trying
5:40
to make sure the cord is right anymore.
5:42
So I got out of that analysis paralysis
5:45
mode.
5:46
Number four, guys, small wins matter.
5:50
Micro achievements compound into long-term success.
5:54
So it's not about making a big step.
5:58
It's about taking a step that you can
6:01
understand and that can empower your life.
6:03
I think that's really where, you know, the
6:04
bottom line comes from, is those small steps
6:08
turn us into success.
6:09
Number five, guys, momentum builds confidence.
6:12
Action reinforces self-belief.
6:14
So when you take an action, you get
6:16
that natural high feeling, right, the euphoria feeling
6:19
from the dopamine releasing in our brain, that's
6:22
what gets us to go into that positive
6:24
loop of reinforcement.
6:26
You want to keep doing it.
6:27
It feels good.
6:28
Number six, guys, progress compounds.
6:31
Steady effort multiplies outcomes exponentially.
6:35
So when we know that something's going to
6:38
happen exponentially, we may not actually know the
6:40
when, the how, and the where, but we
6:43
know that it's going to happen.
6:44
And because we know what's going to happen,
6:46
it's like, all right, I get this.
6:48
Now let's go ahead and move forward, all
6:50
right?
6:51
Number seven, guys, stay consistent.
6:54
I know there are times when you want
6:55
to dip off your plan and say, you
6:57
know what?
6:57
This isn't working, right?
7:00
You have to realize that you're in it
7:01
for the long game.
7:02
You're not in it for the short game.
7:03
You're not in it for short-term gratification.
7:05
You're in it for long-term gratification.
7:06
And sometimes that seems harder, but the payoff
7:09
is a lot better.
7:11
Stay consistent, guys.
7:12
Number seven, daily action matters more than the
7:15
occasional burst.
7:15
I know people say, oh, I'm going to
7:16
do a lot of work tomorrow.
7:18
And then they stop working for like three
7:19
or four days.
7:20
And then they bush together.
7:21
It's like, it doesn't work.
7:23
It doesn't work.
7:24
You've got to stay consistent.
7:26
Any pipeline will tell you that.
7:28
Number eight, momentum creates results.
7:30
Persistent movement yields measurement achievement.
7:33
Now, I've said that whatever we can measure,
7:36
we can change.
7:37
Now, if we can't change something, what happens
7:40
is we get frustrated.
7:42
So we have to figure out, how do
7:43
we measure something?
7:44
I think that's really the big concern.
7:46
How do we measure something?
7:48
If we know how we measure something, then
7:50
we can change it, all right?
7:52
Keep stacking the wins.
7:54
Build success one deliberate victory at a time.
7:57
I didn't say 100 at a time.
7:58
I said build it one victory at a
8:00
time.
8:01
If you can do that, guys, your life
8:04
will change.
8:06
Your life will change.
8:08
But I'm going to tell you something.
8:09
It's not going to happen overnight.
8:12
Not going to happen overnight.
8:13
So if you want overnight, sorry.
8:15
It's not happening overnight.
8:17
Number 10, movement builds energy.
8:20
Action generates motivation and clarity.
8:22
I want to share a quick story.
8:24
So many of you know that I am
8:26
going to become a published author on April
8:30
17.
8:30
Depending on when you're watching this, if you're
8:32
watching it live, or before the date, or
8:34
after the date.
8:36
And I have to tell you, I've always
8:39
loved writing for many years, loved video producing,
8:41
a lot of other things besides engineering.
8:43
And I know that when I started writing,
8:45
I was very hypercritical of myself.
8:47
I had to just let things go, and
8:50
then come back and edit them.
8:51
I remember, done is better than perfect.
8:53
And when I started out writing my book,
8:55
it was about, I'm going to say it
8:57
was about this concept where I was writing
9:01
a book.
9:02
And the book that I was writing, I
9:03
was trying to force, but that book was
9:05
not the proper book.
9:07
I kept pushing it, trying to push it.
9:09
I said, you know what, John?
9:11
Let's stop writing the book.
9:12
This is the book I want to write,
9:13
but it's not the book I'm meant to
9:14
write.
9:15
So I dialed back.
9:17
I put that, let's say, started outline and
9:21
manuscript in the file, the digital file.
9:22
And I said, I'm going to come back
9:23
to it.
9:24
Let's do this book now.
9:25
And then the next book I'm going to
9:26
do is AI, the truth of AI that
9:29
the media doesn't tell you.
9:29
And then I'm going to go back and
9:30
rewrite this, start to write this other book.
9:33
Because getting this book out, which is a
9:35
biography of my life and talks about things
9:38
that made a big trajectory change, I thought
9:41
was a real important thing.
9:43
And it really got me motivated to want
9:44
to write more.
9:45
Number 11, guys, progress fuels growth.
9:49
It does.
9:49
So forward motion enhances learning and skill.
9:55
Everybody's like, OK, we're doing it.
9:56
We're doing it.
9:57
We're doing it.
9:57
We're really doing it.
9:58
Like, have you ever been on a bike
9:59
before, right?
9:59
And you learn how to ride a bike
10:01
the first time.
10:01
It's like, oh my gosh, I'm doing it.
10:03
I'm doing it.
10:03
I'm off training wheels.
10:04
I'm actually doing it.
10:04
I'm doing it.
10:05
I'm actually riding the bike.
10:06
Like, oh, I just crashed.
10:07
Oh, I guess I'm not doing it.
10:09
So what happened is the self-doubt kicked
10:11
in.
10:12
And then you started analyzing.
10:13
And then, bam, your motor skills went to
10:16
you know what.
10:16
And then you fell off the bike.
10:18
You lost your balance.
10:20
Number 12, guys, momentum builds belief.
10:23
Believeintheachieved.com.
10:25
Taking action confirms your capability to achieve.
10:31
Taking action confirms your ability to achieve.
10:37
Number 13, keep going daily.
10:40
Discipline bridges goals and tangible outcomes.
10:43
When the world around you says, you know,
10:45
it's not possible, I want to tell you
10:48
it is possible.
10:50
You have to have a little belief in
10:53
yourself.
10:55
You have to have a little belief in
10:57
yourself.
10:58
If you do just a little bit of
10:59
belief, just a tiny bit, you'll find that
11:02
that mustard seed will grow.
11:03
What happens when we plant a seed for
11:06
any type of fruit or vegetables?
11:09
That tiny seed sprouts and grows.
11:14
Right?
11:16
So understand discipline bridges goals and tangible outcomes.
11:20
So if they're easy, they're not just going
11:23
to come.
11:23
When things are a little challenging, that gets
11:25
us to the success world.
11:28
See, when things are uncomfortable, that's where success
11:30
lives.
11:31
Number 14, guys, progress builds strength.
11:34
Consistent effort strengthens resilience.
11:38
Notice the key here.
11:39
I'm saying consistent effort.
11:41
I'm not saying a burst of effort.
11:43
I'm not saying everything all at once.
11:46
Okay?
11:46
I'm saying consistent effort over time strengthens resilience
11:52
because it helps us with our belief.
11:55
It helps with our endocrine system and releasing
11:59
these endorphins that are getting us to have
12:04
that positive natural high feeling from our body,
12:08
which is amazing.
12:10
All right?
12:10
So progress builds strength.
12:12
Consistent effort strengthens the resilience and makes us
12:15
want to keep doing it more.
12:16
So resilience, think of it like this.
12:19
If you get knocked down, it's not how
12:21
many times you get knocked down.
12:22
It's how many times you pick yourself back
12:24
up.
12:24
So if you get knocked down four times
12:26
and you get up four times, no problem.
12:28
If you got knocked down four and you
12:29
get up three, well, that means you're still
12:30
down.
12:31
Okay?
12:32
So number 15, guys, momentum creates clarity.
12:35
I've said this time and time again.
12:36
Action reveals priorities and it sharpens the focus.
12:41
And when we sharpen the focus, like we
12:43
learned earlier in the week with the microscope
12:45
and electron microscope, we're able to eliminate the
12:50
noise, the distractions, and zero in on what
12:54
we're looking at, the amoeba, the cell, the
12:57
other bacterium, et cetera.
12:58
Right?
12:59
We're able to look at something so small,
13:00
or even a mic, let's say a microchip,
13:04
right?
13:05
We're able to see that whole world under
13:09
the microscope.
13:10
It's like, it's this whole world that we
13:11
didn't even know existed.
13:13
And when we become aware of that world,
13:16
it's like, wow, that's pretty amazing, right?
13:20
Number 16, guys, stay committed.
13:23
Long-term effort sustains momentum through challenges, guys,
13:29
through challenges.
13:30
I think that's an important thing.
13:31
A lot of people, when they hear or
13:32
see a challenge, like, oh gosh, you know,
13:34
I'm not doing this.
13:34
I'm failing.
13:35
No, that's a test.
13:37
And that test helps you to understand, you
13:41
know, what's really going on.
13:42
But a lot of people miss that test
13:45
in their life.
13:45
They miss it.
13:46
They just, they flat out miss it.
13:49
Number 17, guys, progress builds identity.
13:54
Identity is part of your character, who you
13:56
are, and that links back to your integrity.
14:00
Repeated action shapens who you are, and who
14:06
you are defines into things like your core
14:09
values, which will link to how much integrity
14:13
you have, how much accountability you have.
14:15
I think those are things a lot of
14:17
people forget because they look at things at
14:19
the surface level, but they don't look at
14:21
the fact that, you know, there's more to
14:23
it than just what's on the surface.
14:25
I like to use the example of the
14:26
iceberg.
14:27
We're looking at the tip of the iceberg,
14:28
but you know, there's so much more at
14:31
the bottom.
14:32
We're only looking at the tip.
14:33
We're only scratching the surface.
14:35
We're only dipping our foot into the water.
14:40
Not even our whole toe.
14:41
We're just, maybe just a tiny bit of
14:43
our toe.
14:43
Not even, let's say not even our ankle.
14:46
Number 18, guys, momentum creates success.
14:51
Yes, you wanna be successful, keep moving, but
14:54
don't move in a way just to stay
14:56
busy because that's not gonna be accountable.
15:00
Momentum creates success and continuous motion drives advancement.
15:03
So your motion gets going, but you still
15:06
have to have it aligned with your thoughts
15:09
and actions that will lead to success.
15:11
You can't just be busy.
15:13
I was talking to somebody the other day
15:14
and they're like, well, John, I'm busy.
15:16
And people equate the word busy with success,
15:21
but that's not true at all.
15:24
Absolutely not.
15:25
Number 19, guys, keep pushing forward.
15:29
Even small actions prevent stagnation.
15:33
Even small actions that you take, they prevent
15:35
stagnation.
15:37
Number 20, guys, progress builds confidence.
15:40
Every day, progress builds confidence.
15:43
Achievements reinforce the self-trust.
15:45
So our progress says, hey, I know what
15:47
I'm doing.
15:48
I'm good at this, okay?
15:51
And the more that we do it, the
15:54
more that we're able to say, hey, wait
15:55
a minute, I now trust myself.
15:58
I know that I can do this.
16:01
Number 21, guys, momentum builds our future.
16:06
Today's actions shape tomorrow's opportunities.
16:10
Where you are today is because of the
16:12
thoughts you've had yesterday and the days prior.
16:15
Where you'll be tomorrow or next week or
16:17
next month or next quarter or the end
16:19
of this year or next year or the
16:20
end of the century is based on the
16:22
thoughts and actions that you have before that.
16:27
So you might say, John, how does a
16:29
thought do something?
16:29
So let me talk about this real quickly.
16:31
A thought creates positive energy and we're all
16:35
energy beings.
16:36
So energy affects how we respond, how we
16:39
talk, how we communicate.
16:41
And this little thing actually affects other people
16:45
and gets them to decide, well, gee, do
16:47
I wanna talk to this person?
16:48
Is this person open?
16:49
Are they closed?
16:50
What's their attitude like?
16:51
And I think that's a very, very important
16:55
thing that most people do not understand.
16:57
Number 22, guys, stay focused.
17:00
Eliminate distractions and align energy with high impact
17:04
tasks.
17:05
Just to stay busy all day, okay, does
17:08
not mean you're gonna be successful.
17:09
I'm sorry.
17:10
I have a few people I know and
17:12
they just work to fill their schedule, but
17:15
they don't fill it with people that actually
17:17
want, need and can afford their product.
17:18
They just try to fill a schedule so
17:21
they feel good.
17:22
What happens at the end of the week,
17:24
the month?
17:25
They're exhausted and they barely have a sale
17:28
if one to even show for, because they're
17:31
not doing it by using high impact tasks.
17:35
Number 23, guys, progress wins long-term.
17:40
Steady efforts outperform the burst of activity.
17:42
I said that before.
17:43
And I wanna say it again, because many
17:46
people said, you know, John, I can work
17:47
hard on Monday.
17:48
I can work hard on Wednesday, but I
17:51
can't work hard on Thursday.
17:52
Or I can work hard on Monday, Tuesday,
17:53
Wednesday, but Thursday, Friday, I can't work.
17:57
That's not progress, okay.
18:00
Number 24, guys, momentum builds consistency.
18:09
Momentum builds consistency.
18:11
Momentum builds power, which transfers to consistency and
18:16
positions you to lead and influence.
18:18
I said before, guys, that leaders are not
18:21
born.
18:22
Nope, guys, they are made.
18:25
They are made.
18:28
You know, when you're trying to influence something,
18:30
somebody going on, I think
18:40
it affects some people.
18:50
And that can affect a lot of people,
18:53
because like, I don't know what's happening.
19:01
And I think that scares some people.
19:18
I think when we look at where we
19:21
are today and we compare it to where
19:27
we were yesterday, I said, it's okay to
19:30
judge and compare yourself to yourself for improvement,
19:34
but you should never compare yourself to another
19:36
person, because they're at a different point in
19:42
their journey.
19:42
Might be behind you, might be ahead of
19:44
you, but that's okay.
19:45
We're all at different points in our life.
19:49
And that's what makes life kind of interesting.
19:52
That we can do things like that.
19:55
Like that's a really important thing to understand.
20:00
So number 25, guys, is keep building, layer
20:04
new actions onto existing momentum for compounding success.
20:10
I have found that the people that come
20:13
on board now didn't come on board in
20:15
the past.
20:16
Why?
20:18
The ship wasn't moving.
20:19
The ship was at the dock.
20:23
The boat wasn't moving.
20:26
It was docked, right?
20:28
The airplane was in the hangar.
20:30
The airplane was on the runway, not moving.
20:33
The train was in the station.
20:35
But people risk their lives to get on
20:40
board a moving train, a moving plane, a
20:43
moving boat.
20:43
Now I'm using this proverbially.
20:46
Most people don't wanna get on something or
20:48
be part of something new.
20:50
They wanna already come in that it's developed
20:52
for them.
20:53
A little lazy, a little selfish.
20:55
Yeah, but let's face it.
20:56
Some people do that.
20:58
Number 26, guys, progress creates change.
21:05
Incremental motion shifts the circumstances over time that
21:09
we have.
21:11
Over time.
21:13
I didn't say like today.
21:16
I didn't say tomorrow.
21:18
I said over time, over time.
21:26
I think that's a very important thing to
21:30
realize.
21:31
It is over time, over time.
21:37
Not in one day, not in one night,
21:40
not in one week.
21:41
Number 27, guys, momentum drives success.
21:46
Habitual action becomes a self-reinforcing success loop.
21:49
So when we do something, we feel great.
21:51
We wanna keep doing more.
21:52
We wanna keep doing more of it.
21:53
I'll give you an example.
21:54
Let's say you're on the dance floor and
21:55
you love dancing and you love singing, whatever.
21:57
And as you're doing that, you're feeling really
22:00
good inside.
22:01
Like, oh, I wanna do more.
22:01
I wanna do another song.
22:02
Yeah, one more song, one more song.
22:04
Like at the end of the night, when
22:05
the DJs at last song and they have,
22:08
it's like 10 to the closing hour, whether
22:11
it's 11 or 12, whatever it is.
22:13
And they say, this is gonna be the
22:15
last song.
22:15
Like, oh, and then we're like, oh, we
22:18
just want one more, one more.
22:19
And then they give you one more and
22:20
it feels great.
22:20
But then, you know, there's no more after
22:21
that.
22:23
Because usually a DJ will do, they'll usually
22:25
do an encore.
22:26
They'll usually do or be able to do
22:27
one more song, right?
22:29
They'll usually end like 10 of or five
22:33
of because they know that if they end
22:37
at that time and they can do one
22:38
more, they have to be off the stage
22:40
by the hour.
22:41
That's usually how most venues work.
22:44
Number 28, guys, stay in motion.
22:48
Momentum loses strength when activity halts.
22:51
And you know, activity can halt because of
22:54
us.
22:55
It can halt because of outside noise.
22:58
It can halt because of different distractions that
23:02
maybe we think are helping us, but are
23:05
actually, let's say, curbing our ability.
23:10
And I think a lot of people aren't
23:11
aware of that immediately.
23:14
That's probably the best thing that I can
23:15
say to you.
23:16
Number 29, progress defines you.
23:20
I said you, I didn't say someone else.
23:22
I said, progress defines you.
23:25
Outcomes reflect the sum of your daily choices.
23:29
You are who you are because of the
23:31
thoughts and the choices you have chosen to
23:35
make today, yesterday, the day before.
23:39
That's why you're on this trajectory right now.
23:42
If you don't like it, you can change
23:44
the thoughts and the actions that you are
23:49
making.
23:51
I know sometimes our brain goes on autopilot
23:54
and we think the decisions are the right
23:55
decisions, but then we're like, wait a minute,
23:57
I'm doing more of this, more of this,
23:58
but I'm getting further away from what it
24:01
is that I really want.
24:02
That's when you have to say, okay, I'm
24:04
not doing this right.
24:06
I'm on this loop.
24:07
I'm in a habitual loop that basically is
24:10
not good for me.
24:12
It's not healthy for me, for my mind,
24:15
for my body.
24:17
I talk about the one where, you know,
24:19
when we feel the world is moving too
24:20
fast, we need to slow it down, enjoy
24:27
it.
24:28
I tell people, it's like, John, we don't
24:29
have time for that, we're too busy.
24:31
If you can't take a moment to give
24:34
gratitude to our creator, to be in the
24:37
moment, to experience things with your senses, see,
24:41
hear, touch, taste, smell, proprioception, right?
24:47
You're rushing.
24:49
I find that when we enjoy life, okay,
24:53
and learn to digest each moment, life goes
24:56
slower.
24:57
When we are hectic and moving a million
24:59
different miles and we're not being mindful or
25:03
intentional about our life, it's like, oh my
25:05
gosh, what happened to my day?
25:07
Gee, what am I doing?
25:09
And lots of people say this to me,
25:11
John, how do I slow it down?
25:14
So momentum creates your life.
25:16
Consistent, intentional action shapes your experience and your
25:22
impact.
25:23
And of course, your wellbeing on yourself and
25:25
the world.
25:27
But a lot of people out there look
25:30
at what the Jones are doing, what the
25:33
Wagners are doing, what the Marksons are doing,
25:36
right?
25:37
The Thompsons are doing.
25:40
And they're like, well, we must have to
25:41
do what they do because obviously they're successful.
25:45
You don't know if they're successful or not,
25:47
but it's not your job to judge that.
25:51
It's your job to live a life of
25:54
intentional purpose, to provide value to yourself and
25:57
to others at the highest level of integrity
26:00
and respect.
26:02
I think sometimes people get lost on the
26:06
journey.
26:07
Integrity seems like something, well, you know what?
26:09
I can make more money if I do
26:11
this, but if I do this, I'll make
26:13
less money, but I can sleep with myself
26:17
at night.
26:17
What do I mean by that?
26:20
When you go to bed at night, maybe
26:22
you reflect on your day.
26:24
You say, gee, you know, am I happy
26:26
with what I did today?
26:28
Can I live with myself with what I
26:30
did?
26:30
Or did I do something that I feel
26:33
is not right?
26:35
If you did, call your conscience out and
26:38
apologize to yourself.
26:40
You don't need to reprimand yourself and say,
26:44
okay, I'm trying to do better each day.
26:47
That was probably not the best direction I
26:49
should take.
26:50
I should work more on this, right?
26:52
I think that's important.
26:53
So this whole week, we're talking about, you
26:55
know, this whole concept of how, and that
26:59
how is a big thing, guys, owning your
27:01
focus, owning how you choose to zoom in,
27:06
right?
27:07
Or how you choose to eliminate distractions, how?
27:11
So guys, building momentum is a daily choice,
27:15
an intentional choice.
27:16
Each step, no matter how small, contributes to
27:19
the exponential results that you can achieve.
27:22
Focus, ladies and gentlemen, on what matters.
27:25
Choose to act decisively and let your intentional
27:29
actions carry you forward and you'll be pretty
27:32
amazed.
27:34
Ladies and gentlemen, you can catch this show
27:36
