• 1:07
  If you're thirsty, like I have my RO
• 1:09
  water here with a spot of homemade lemon,
• 1:13
  natural lemon I should say, and it is
• 1:15
  absolutely delicious.
• 1:17
  Feel free to go, you get yourself a
• 1:18

• 1:22
  back to the show.
• 1:23
  All right, guys.
• 1:24
  So without further ado, let's kick this show
• 1:27
  off.
• 1:27
  Are you ready?
• 1:28
  I know I'm ready.
• 1:29
  Okay.
• 1:29
  So let's kick it off.
• 1:33
  So the master topic, how focus shapes daily
• 1:37
  performance.
• 1:39
  That's the master topic.
• 1:40
  It's we're on series five, we're on show
• 1:42
  number 21, by the way.
• 1:45
  Oh, who am I?
• 1:45
  I'm John C.
• 1:46
  Morley, serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video producer,
• 1:51
  podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student, passionate
• 1:55
  lifelong learner, and now very grateful to be
• 1:58
  a published author.
• 2:00
  Yes, guys.
• 2:01
  I became a published author literally about, well,
• 2:07
  it was actually the 17th.
• 2:10
  So tomorrow would actually make it one month
• 2:14
  that I became a published author.
• 2:16
  All right, guys.
• 2:17
  So again, great to have you here and
• 2:19
  welcome once again to the Inspirations for Your
• 2:22
  Life show.
• 2:23
  Whether you're listening to us or whether you're
• 2:25
  watching us, it's great to have you either
• 2:28
  way.
• 2:28
  And tonight I'm focusing on how attention shapes
• 2:33
  performance in real life.
• 2:36
  Now, your results are directly, I'm going to
• 2:40
  say, influenced by where your focus goes.
• 2:44
  So let's begin.
• 2:45
  All right.
• 2:47
  We can start at the very top.
• 2:49
  I guess that's the best place to start,
• 2:50
  right?
• 2:51
  All right.
• 2:53
  So point number one, focus determines how clearly
• 2:56
  you think.
• 2:58
  Focus determines how clearly you think.
• 3:00
  When focus is stable, thinking becomes organized and
• 3:06
  structured and also relaxed and not something that
• 3:10
  takes a lot of energy.
• 3:11
  So I think that's an important point to
• 3:12
  note.
• 3:13
  When we're calm, when we're relaxed, we're able
• 3:16
  to think and be much more creative and
• 3:20
  use a lot less energy, right?
• 3:23
  Number two, guys, attention shapes the quality of
• 3:27
  every decision.
• 3:29
  The attention, right?
• 3:31
  The attention we put towards something or someone.
• 3:35
  Better focus will always lead us to more
• 3:38
  accurate and confident choices.
• 3:41
  That's a given, guys.
• 3:43
  But a lot of people don't do this.
• 3:46
  And the reason they don't do this is
• 3:47
  because they get stuck in the middle.
• 3:50
  They don't know where they should go.
• 3:52
  They don't know what they should do.
• 3:53
  And it becomes a very, very big problem.
• 4:01
  And so I think that's an important thing
• 4:04
  to definitely understand.
• 4:07
  And a lot of people don't get it.
• 4:10
  They just don't seem to get what that
• 4:14
  is.
• 4:15
  And so I think that holds people back,
• 4:19
  right?
• 4:21
  I think that holds people back.
• 4:23
  And for some reason, I think it harms
• 4:29
  people, all right?
• 4:32
  It harms people because they don't necessarily know
• 4:36
  what they're doing, all right?
• 4:41
  It harms them.
• 4:46
  And I want to tell you that this
• 4:49
  is something that can really affect you long
• 4:53
  -term.
• 4:56
  And so it might not seem like anything
• 4:59
  on the surface, but when something holds you
• 5:03
  back like this, that's something that can stick
• 5:12
  with you for a very long time, okay?
• 5:20
  So it can stick with you for a
• 5:22
  long, long time.
• 5:25
  I think that's an important point to note,
• 5:29
  guys, because people will go their entire life,
• 5:32
  and then they'll wonder why something isn't working
• 5:35
  a certain way.
• 5:37
  And I think that happens because, you know,
• 5:41
  you get stuck, all right?
• 5:43
  You get stuck, and then you figure, well,
• 5:45
  how do I get out of this stuckness?
• 5:47
  And the truth of the matter is you
• 5:48
  don't get out of it overnight, okay?
• 5:50
  It takes time to get out of this.
• 5:53
  Number three, guys, distraction increases mental effort without
• 5:58
  awareness.
• 5:59
  So we use more of our energy when
• 6:02
  we're distracted, okay?
• 6:03
  And we lose sight of what we're working
• 6:07
  on, and we probably start to become less
• 6:11
  efficient.
• 6:12
  You feel busy, but your output does not
• 6:15
  increase, and it also, well, goes down in
• 6:18
  quality often.
• 6:19
  And that can be hard when you're expelling
• 6:22
  so much energy.
• 6:23
  You're like, well, how is this even happening?
• 6:27
  It's because you're not keeping your eye on
• 6:30
  your intentions, right?
• 6:32
  We have to keep our core alignments with
• 6:36
  us all the time in everything we do.
• 6:37
  If we don't, then somewhere we're going to
• 6:41
  find out that we're not where we're supposed
• 6:43
  to be.
• 6:44
  Number four, guys, single focus improves speed and
• 6:48
  clarity.
• 6:49
  Doing one task at a time increases execution
• 6:53
  quality.
• 6:54
  One task, not five, not 10, not three,
• 6:57
  not 100.
• 6:58
  Many companies out there don't get this.
• 7:01
  They think that they can make an employee
• 7:02
  work so many hours and doing multiple things
• 7:06
  at one time, and then they wonder why
• 7:09
  the quality assurance or the customer service or
• 7:11
  the client service just drops down.
• 7:14
  I'll tell you why.
• 7:15
  Because you're multitasking too much.
• 7:19
  Multitasking reduces execution accuracy.
• 7:21
  The brain constantly resets between competing inputs, and
• 7:25
  it's like, what do I need to do?
• 7:27
  And it's kind of like trying to keep
• 7:28
  a balance, but it's really wrestling, and it's
• 7:32
  still using a lot of energy, right?
• 7:34
  At home, if you put lights on and
• 7:37
  you're not in the room, it still uses
• 7:38
  energy.
• 7:38
  You put TVs on, it still uses energy.
• 7:40
  Even if you're not watching them, it still
• 7:42
  uses energy.
• 7:43
  So the distraction, even if we're not totally
• 7:46
  aware of that, it still causes our energy
• 7:49
  to basically drop because it's being used.
• 7:54
  Number six, guys, energy flows wherever the attention
• 7:57
  goes.
• 7:58
  I've said this so many times.
• 7:59
  So wherever, basically, our attention is focused, that's
• 8:03
  where the energy is going to flow.
• 8:05
  So our attention, OK, is going where the
• 8:13
  energy is flowing, OK?
• 8:15
  And that's important to know.
• 8:17
  And where you focus is actually the placement
• 8:24
  of what determines where your effort drains.
• 8:29
  If you're wondering why you're not getting where
• 8:31
  you want to be, well, take a look
• 8:33
  at your distractions.
• 8:34
  Take a look at your inputs.
• 8:37
  Then you can say, oh, wait a minute.
• 8:38
  Now I see what's happening.
• 8:39
  I'm constantly getting disrupted, right?
• 8:41
  I'm constantly getting disrupted.
• 8:43
  Number seven, guys, interrupted thinking slows performance.
• 8:48
  Every interruption forces the mind to rebuild context.
• 8:53
  You know what it makes me think of?
• 8:55
  Maybe you have a smartphone in your car
• 8:58
  or a smart player, and every so often,
• 9:03
  the system has to re-index what's on
• 9:05
  your device so it can kind of be
• 9:07
  able to get to them faster.
• 9:09
  So it kind of says, you know, it
• 9:11
  usually says something like profiling app or profiling
• 9:14
  music or something like that.
• 9:16
  So every interruption forces the mind to rebuild
• 9:19
  the index and the context because otherwise it's
• 9:24
  just this big blur.
• 9:26
  It's a big blur, big blur.
• 9:28
  Number eight, stable focus improves task completion.
• 9:34
  Consistent attention leads to more finished work.
• 9:37
  So my big question, the multi-billionaire question,
• 9:39
  is why don't people focus on one thing
• 9:41
  at one time?
• 9:44
  Because they've been instructed by management, by other
• 9:46
  people that supposedly know better than them, that
• 9:50
  you're supposed to focus on multiple things.
• 9:52
  But I found myself that when I focus
• 9:54
  on multiple things, those things get off path,
• 9:57
  off track.
• 9:58
  I can have multiple things in a queue
• 10:00
  and working on them and switching back and
• 10:02
  forth, but I don't work on more than
• 10:04
  one thing at a time.
• 10:05
  So if one thing is working and it's
• 10:07
  taking time to finish, I can come back
• 10:09
  and do something else.
• 10:10
  But I don't work on two things at
• 10:12
  the same time.
• 10:13
  I wait for something to be done if
• 10:14
  there's a process.
• 10:16
  And that's not simultaneously work.
• 10:17
  Simultaneously working would be like I'm working on
• 10:20
  something and while I'm doing it, I'm doing
• 10:22
  something else.
• 10:23
  So I stop.
• 10:24
  Once this is done, then I go back
• 10:25
  and do something else.
• 10:26
  I don't keep going back and forth while
• 10:28
  something is processing.
• 10:30
  Number nine, guys, attention shifts reduce output quality.
• 10:36
  Frequent shifting will weaken consistency and the flow
• 10:40
  of that information, the flow of information.
• 10:45
  Number 10, clarity improves when input is reduced.
• 10:49
  Less information creates stronger mental organization.
• 10:53
  Same thing with chat GPT and all these
• 10:55
  different AI bots.
• 10:56
  Less is more.
• 10:59
  Less is more.
• 11:01
  Number 11, guys, mental noise affects decision speed.
• 11:05
  Too many thoughts slow down the clarity and
• 11:09
  your action.
• 11:11
  And it causes us to pause.
• 11:15
  Number 12, focus stability improves workflow.
• 11:21
  Work becomes smoother when attention does not drift.
• 11:25
  How do you do that?
• 11:26
  You complete one task, then you move on
• 11:29
  to the next task.
• 11:32
  That's how it works, guys.
• 11:35
  One task and then the next task.
• 11:40
  Number 13, task switching increases cognitive load.
• 11:45
  So if you're working on one thing, you're
• 11:46
  constantly switching from here, switching back and forth,
• 11:48
  that's multitasking.
• 11:50
  If you're doing one thing and you finish
• 11:53
  it, then you move on to another task.
• 11:55
  So maybe you have a couple of things,
• 11:57
  and maybe you need to do something or
• 11:59
  get something started so it can process, and
• 12:02
  then you can come back to it.
• 12:03
  Now you're switching tasks, but then you're finishing
• 12:05
  something else, and then you're coming back.
• 12:06
  You're not constantly coming back and forth until
• 12:09
  the other task is done.
• 12:10
  Every shift you have requires additional mental energy.
• 12:14
  And it's kind of like being in the
• 12:16
  car, right?
• 12:17
  If you put your air conditioner on, it's
• 12:19
  going to burn more gas.
• 12:22
  It's going to burn more gas.
• 12:24
  That's inevitable.
• 12:27
  And so when that happens, you're like, well,
• 12:31
  but I wasn't using that.
• 12:33
  Well, you were.
• 12:33
  If it was on, you were using it.
• 12:39
  And you might have a home where you
• 12:42
  have so many lights.
• 12:43
  And you're like, but I'm not using them.
• 12:44
  Yeah, but they're on in your house, so
• 12:46
  they're still drawing current, still drawing energy.
• 12:48
  Number 14, guys, awareness of focus improves the
• 12:53
  control.
• 12:56
  Awareness of focus improves control.
• 12:59
  Noticing drift allows you to correct attention faster.
• 13:04
  But we have to be aware of what
• 13:06
  drift is, how drift happens.
• 13:09
  Drift usually happens when we get too confused,
• 13:14
  when we're off our benchmark, when we keep
• 13:19
  hopping from one thing to another.
• 13:21
  Many times when you're cooking, you're multitasking.
• 13:24
  You're cooking multiple foods at one time.
• 13:25
  But that's a little bit different, because each
• 13:27
  food is cooking simultaneously.
• 13:29
  But you kind of have to move from
• 13:31
  one to the other to check, make sure
• 13:32
  they don't burn, stir, things like that.
• 13:35
  Number 15, guys, execution reflects attention strength.
• 13:40
  Now, your output always mirrors your focus quality.
• 13:44
  If you're not happy with the quality that's
• 13:47
  coming out, examine the input, OK, and the
• 13:57
  focus you have toward it.
• 13:59
  Because I'll bet you that you're probably not
• 14:02
  paying as deep attention as you think you
• 14:05
  are.
• 14:06
  Number 16, poor focus creates unfinished work, right?
• 14:13
  I don't think people mean to have unfinished
• 14:15
  work, but they put too many things down
• 14:18
  at a time.
• 14:19
  So I have my little sheet.
• 14:20
  I cross things off.
• 14:22
  When something gets done, I move to the
• 14:24
  next task.
• 14:26
  Sometimes I prep a task, because it might
• 14:29
  take 10 or 15 minutes.
• 14:31
  That's not simultaneously working.
• 14:33
  The task might be simultaneously working, but I'm
• 14:36
  still only working on one project.
• 14:38
  I'm going to start a task.
• 14:39
  Maybe it takes 20 minutes.
• 14:40
  I'm going to go do something else, and
• 14:41
  I'm going to come back.
• 14:42
  That's not simultaneously working, OK?
• 14:44
  If I did one task, and I kept
• 14:46
  flipping back, forth, back, forth, that would be
• 14:48
  simultaneously working.
• 14:49
  We don't want to do that.
• 14:51
  Starting becomes easier than completing tasks.
• 14:55
  When we start, we're at the beginning, right?
• 14:58
  We have a clean slate.
• 14:59
  When we don't have a task that's completed,
• 15:01
  it's like, oh my gosh, what am I
• 15:02
  supposed to do now, right?
• 15:03
  And you kind of put this big weight
• 15:05
  on you, and it keeps getting heavier and
• 15:06
  heavier, and it keeps dragging you down.
• 15:11
  Number 17, strong focus reduces rework.
• 15:17
  Clear attention reduces errors and corrections that happen
• 15:21
  later.
• 15:23
  I think a lot of people don't realize
• 15:26
  that when you're not focusing 100%, you're going
• 15:29
  to make mistakes, right?
• 15:32
  You're going to make mistakes.
• 15:34
  Could be something simple.
• 15:35
  Could be something big.
• 15:35
  But you're going to make mistakes because you're
• 15:37
  rushing the process.
• 15:40
  That happens a lot when people bake.
• 15:43
  One thing I learned that when I get
• 15:44
  in the kitchen is that I don't multitask,
• 15:48
  all right?
• 15:48
  I put all the stuff that I need
• 15:50
  to for my mise en place, get it
• 15:52
  set up, and the only multitasking I'm doing,
• 15:55
  turn the oven on, and then, but I'm
• 15:56
  still doing one thing at a time.
• 15:58
  I'm making the cookies.
• 16:00
  I'm taking the thing out of the oven,
• 16:01
  but I'm not doing multiple things.
• 16:03
  I am checking.
• 16:04
  So when the timer goes off, I don't
• 16:06
  pull it out, but I stop the other
• 16:08
  action, and then I go back.
• 16:10
  So I really have two actions I flip
• 16:12
  between.
• 16:13
  And then if the dough is all done,
• 16:15
  I will make another batch.
• 16:18
  But if the oven rings, then I stop
• 16:21
  everything, and I go grab what's in the
• 16:22
  oven because I don't want to burn what's
• 16:23
  in the oven.
• 16:24
  Number 18, guys, attention drift lowers productivity.
• 16:30
  Lost focus breaks momentum without warning.
• 16:35
  I think this is the hard one for
• 16:36
  a lot of people to grasp, how a
• 16:40
  loss in focus will get us to detach
• 16:43
  from quality.
• 16:45
  It's because things get clearer, foggy.
• 16:49
  They get more confusing.
• 16:51
  People just don't know where to start.
• 16:55
  I'll give you an example.
• 16:56
  Maybe you're counting money, OK?
• 17:00
  And you stay focused on that, right?
• 17:02
  But what about an hour later, if I
• 17:04
  asked you to remember what money's in there?
• 17:06
  Would you remember it?
• 17:06
  Maybe.
• 17:07
  Suppose I asked you to remember four or
• 17:09
  five tills.
• 17:09
  You're probably not going to remember that.
• 17:13
  So typically, you count.
• 17:14
  Sometimes people will write the numbers down like
• 17:16
  they might write this batch.
• 17:17
  They'll write the numbers so you know what
• 17:18
  it is.
• 17:22
  Number 19, guys, intentional focus improves the results.
• 17:26
  So directed attention proves more meaningful outcomes.
• 17:30
  When we direct, when we focus on one
• 17:34
  task at a time.
• 17:40
  Number 20, guys, reaction-based thinking reduces clarity.
• 17:47
  That's why I always tell you to be
• 17:49
  proactive and not reactive.
• 17:52
  Acting without focus creates confusion, and it creates
• 17:58
  a delay, OK?
• 18:02
  That's very important.
• 18:05
  If you don't have focus, you have a
• 18:07
  delay.
• 18:08
  Number 21, guys, structured focus improves the consistency.
• 18:13
  I said before in other shows, we need
• 18:16
  structure and we need consistency to have success.
• 18:19
  If we have structure and no consistency, we
• 18:21
  don't have success.
• 18:21
  If we have consistency and no structure, well,
• 18:24
  then we're just kind of doing whatever we
• 18:25
  want.
• 18:25
  We're not having a plan.
• 18:30
  Repeat attention patterns build reliability.
• 18:33
  That's why people always want to get you
• 18:35
  into a successful habit, into a rhythm, we
• 18:39
  call it.
• 18:39
  So this way you can move forward.
• 18:41
  Number 22, distraction creates hidden fatigue.
• 18:45
  Yeah, mental exhaustion appears without visible progress.
• 18:50
  And I think this frustrates a lot of
• 18:52
  people when they feel very tired.
• 18:56
  Now, there's a physical tired with the body,
• 18:58
  which you can get from exercise.
• 18:59
  But then there's also the time your body
• 19:01
  says, hey, I know I got to rest.
• 19:02
  I got to take it easy.
• 19:03
  And you got to listen to your body.
• 19:06
  Number 23, clear attention improves problem solving.
• 19:11
  Focus allows faster identification of solutions, of solutions.
• 19:19
  Number 24, guys, focused work reduces mistakes.
• 19:23
  Stability and attention improves accuracy and execution.
• 19:28
  Because when we pay attention to something, we're
• 19:34
  making sure it's working correctly.
• 19:35
  If we don't, then that can be a
• 19:39
  big problem.
• 19:40
  Something could be very minor, or it could
• 19:43
  be something major.
• 19:45
  I'll give you an example.
• 19:46
  I was on a bus several years ago
• 19:48
  going to Jackson, Wyoming because the airport, we
• 19:53
  flew into Boise, Idaho.
• 19:54
  That's where they flew us because the airport,
• 19:57
  basically the Jackson, Wyoming airport, was shut down.
• 20:02
  So we really couldn't fly into that airport.
• 20:05
  So we had to fly into Boise.
• 20:07
  And we got off the plane.
• 20:09
  And then literally, they gave us all this
• 20:11
  food and snacks.
• 20:13
  And then we get on a bus.
• 20:15
  And the bus driver, after three or four
• 20:17
  hours on the bus, he happened to mention
• 20:20
  very slightly that he made a wrong turn
• 20:22
  about an hour ago.
• 20:23
  And he has to now go back, all
• 20:25
  because he wasn't paying attention.
• 20:29
  So you might say, John, attention doesn't really
• 20:31
  matter.
• 20:31
  Their attention doesn't matter.
• 20:33
  But it does.
• 20:34
  It will cost you.
• 20:36
  It will be a price.
• 20:37
  It might not be a financial price.
• 20:40
  It might be an aggravation cost that you
• 20:42
  have to redo some work over.
• 20:44
  And your time is still money, guys.
• 20:46
  It's still money.
• 20:47
  Number 25, mental clarity improves execution speed.
• 20:54
  Mental clarity improves execution speed.
• 20:57
  Because when you know how to do something,
• 21:00
  your fingers, your body just goes into that
• 21:03
  memory mode.
• 21:05
  You don't even have to think.
• 21:06
  Clear thinking reduces hesitation.
• 21:09
  And, of course, any delays that could surface.
• 21:12
  Any delays that could surface.
• 21:14
  Number 26, guys, attention discipline improves outcomes.
• 21:20
  Controlled focus leads to stronger results.
• 21:27
  Controlling, meaning that you are regulating your behavior.
• 21:33
  And you're also monitoring it like a feedback
• 21:35
  loop.
• 21:36
  If something is good, you leave it where
• 21:38
  it is.
• 21:39
  If it's not, then you have to go
• 21:40
  back and you have to make some adjustments.
• 21:42
  This is how all the manufacturers work.
• 21:44
  When they make something and it's not right
• 21:47
  or it doesn't taste good or it doesn't
• 21:49
  come out correct, well, they will go ahead
• 21:52
  and stop everything.
• 21:52
  And then they'll make a slight adjustment and
• 21:54
  they'll rerun it and they'll see if everything
• 21:56
  is good.
• 21:57
  Number 27, guys, stable thinking improves workflow.
• 22:08
  Work becomes easier when attention is steady.
• 22:12
  So when our attention is steady, we're in
• 22:17
  congruence with what we're going toward.
• 22:22
  When it's not in good congruence, it's like,
• 22:25
  I must say, a complete chaos.
• 22:28
  It's like, I don't understand.
• 22:29
  I don't get this.
• 22:30
  I don't get it.
• 22:34
  So work becomes easier when attention is steady.
• 22:40
  Number 28, guys, output reflects focus, quality.
• 22:47
  The quality of the work matches the quality
• 22:50
  of the attention.
• 22:51
  We said this before.
• 22:52
  Number 29, performance improves with awareness.
• 22:58
  Awareness of focus creates better control over output.
• 23:02
  What is awareness?
• 23:03
  It's monitoring.
• 23:04
  But when we're aware, we suddenly can dial
• 23:10
  into things like other perceptions.
• 23:12
  I think that's an important piece.
• 23:16
  Number 30, guys, focus is the core driver
• 23:19
  of results.
• 23:22
  Of results.
• 23:23
  Every outcome begins with where attention is placed.
• 23:29
  We talked about this in the very beginning
• 23:31
  of the show.
• 23:33
  Wherever our attention goes, that's where the energy
• 23:37
  is going to flow.
• 23:38
  So we want to make sure that whatever
• 23:40
  we're focusing on is what we want.
• 23:43
  Because if we don't, we're going to be
• 23:46
  very unhappy, because we're going to be going
• 23:48
  down a road that we probably don't even
• 23:50
  want to be part of.
• 23:52
  So tonight's message is very simple.
• 23:57
  You do not improve performance by adding effort.
• 24:02
  Let me say that again.
• 24:03
  You do not improve performance by adding effort.
• 24:06
  You do not improve performance by adding effort.
• 24:26
  So most people think, oh, I got to
• 24:27
  throw in so much extra time, so much
• 24:29
  labor.
• 24:30
  But really all you're doing is you're burning
• 24:31
  yourself out guys.
• 24:35
  Control is the secret.
• 24:39
  It's not let your brain go a million
• 24:42
  different directions.
• 24:45
  Okay.
• 24:47
  Don't let it go a million different directions.
• 24:54
  I think that's a, I think that's a,
• 24:57
  I think that's a very important thing to
• 25:03
  know.
• 25:06
  And I say this to you because if
• 25:09
  you don't understand this one concept, you'll be,
• 25:17
  you'll be wondering why you're going in loops.
• 25:25
  You'll be going in loops over and over
• 25:26
  and over again.
• 25:27
  You'll be like, I don't know why.
• 25:31
  You'll be going in loops.
• 25:42
  And I think it's important to understand this.
• 25:53
  All right.
• 25:54
  It's absolutely important to, to, to understand this.
• 26:08
  I think that's an important piece that people
• 26:12
  just, they just don't get.
• 26:20
  And that piece can get people to stop.
• 26:26
  Okay.
• 26:28
  And the stop can cause people to just
• 26:31
  change and get people to just change where
• 26:37
  they are or what they're doing.
• 26:40
  And I feel that that's something that many
• 26:43
  people don't realize.
• 26:46
  But by shifting your attention, your awareness to
• 26:52
  a different point, to different outcomes, you affect
• 26:57
  the steps and also the energy that you
• 27:02
  exert.
• 27:03
  And that can help or let's say not
• 27:07
  help with other people.
• 27:10
  Your energy is what makes something so.
• 27:13
  Ladies and gentlemen, I am John C.
• 27:15
  Morley, serial entrepreneur and a lot more.
• 27:18
  And this has been Inspirations for Your Life.
• 27:21
  I hope that you guys have a great
• 27:24
  rest of your evening or rest of your
• 27:26
  day.
• 27:27
  And remember, awareness and our attention are key
• 27:32
  for success.
• 27:34
  If you do that, guys, your life will
• 27:40
  change.
• 27:45
  Your life will change.
• 27:48
  But don't expect to be an expert on
• 27:50
  it overnight because you won't.
• 27:53
  You'll get a little more aware each time.
• 27:55
  Have a good one, everyone, and be well.
