923. Don't be you today.
Send us a text I just finished Andrea Waltz and Richard Fenton's new book, "Go For No (the sequel)." Cassidy, who is fresh out of college, goes to work with her dad selling, and wasn't prepared for the amount of rejection she was facing. Full of doubt, she told her dad, "I don't think I can do this." Her father's response? "Don't be you." Today, I challenge you not to be you. Listen in and I will tell you why :) Get the book today: https://www.amazon.com/Go-No-Sequel-Richard-Fenton-eboo...

Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.

00:00:01.739 --> 00:00:01.979
All right.
00:00:01.979 --> 00:00:03.060
3, 2, 1. Let's get it.
00:00:03.270 --> 00:00:07.709
Today I wanna challenge you with something that sounds a little crazy at first.
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:09.660
Don't be you today.
00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:12.750
I just finished Go for No the sequel.
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.169
By Andrea Waltz and Richard Fenton.
00:00:15.689 --> 00:00:19.620
If you have not read, go for No and go for no the sequel.
00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:21.420
They're both about a hundred pages each.
00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:23.644
That's your homework assignment for the next.
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:24.989
I don't know.
00:00:24.989 --> 00:00:25.469
What is that?
00:00:25.469 --> 00:00:27.449
20 days, 10 pages a day.
00:00:27.670 --> 00:00:29.170
They're short, short reads.
00:00:29.710 --> 00:00:34.060
Even if you're not in the sales profession, we're all selling our way through life.
00:00:34.570 --> 00:00:37.840
So I would urge you to get the book, get both books.
00:00:38.710 --> 00:00:42.039
And there's a chapter in there that hit me right in between the eyes.
00:00:42.609 --> 00:00:44.768
Cassidy, who was fresh outta college.
00:00:45.219 --> 00:00:48.759
Starts working in sales with her dad, and he's a season pro.
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.759
He's a professional speaker and it's rough.
00:00:52.058 --> 00:01:07.728
She had no idea about the rejection that sales possesses, and she's facing rejection after rejection and she's ready to quit and she tells her dad, she's like, dad, I don't think I can do this.
00:01:08.509 --> 00:01:09.679
And his response.
00:01:10.715 --> 00:01:11.525
Then don't be you.
00:01:12.484 --> 00:01:14.254
And she looks at him all confused.
00:01:14.254 --> 00:01:16.504
He was like, what do you mean don't be me?
00:01:17.314 --> 00:01:18.484
And he breaks it down to her.
00:01:19.984 --> 00:01:22.685
He says, you've already decided that you can't sell.
00:01:23.254 --> 00:01:28.924
You've defined yourself based on your current limitations instead of your future potential.
00:01:29.674 --> 00:01:35.905
So stop being the version of you who can't, and start becoming the version of you that can.
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.099
She says, wait, dad, lemme get this straight.
00:01:39.698 --> 00:01:40.929
You want me to just lie?
00:01:42.909 --> 00:01:50.418
And her dad said, no, I want you to stop lying when you say that you're not good enough when you say you can't do this.
00:01:51.108 --> 00:01:52.099
That's the real lie.
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.060
Her dad went on to say, think about it as actors.
00:01:56.689 --> 00:01:58.549
Actors don't lie.
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:03.650
They step into a character and they bring that character to life.
00:02:04.069 --> 00:02:08.629
They embody the character and they play it out on screen.
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:11.120
You can do the same thing in life.
00:02:12.110 --> 00:02:14.750
You don't fake it, you project it.
00:02:16.189 --> 00:02:23.838
Dr. Benjamin Hardy wrote, if I'm gonna lose today, let it be to the man that I'm becoming, not the man that I am today.
00:02:24.498 --> 00:02:33.829
Because if you lose to the version of yourself that exists right now, you shrink, you retreat, and you reinforce your limits.
00:02:34.609 --> 00:02:41.628
But if you lose to the version that you're becoming, you stretch, you level up, you grow.
00:02:44.329 --> 00:02:47.239
Let me ask you a question today.
00:02:49.098 --> 00:02:59.209
Are you being or are you becoming, because think back when you were a kid, adults would ask you, what do you wanna become when you grow up?
00:03:00.468 --> 00:03:02.179
And you had curiosity.
00:03:02.808 --> 00:03:04.248
You had imagination.
00:03:04.818 --> 00:03:08.359
You had vision, and you didn't see any limitations.
00:03:09.109 --> 00:03:29.629
But somewhere along the way between the bills, the pressure, and someone else's expectations, you ceased becoming, and you just started being and being, get you stuck because you're static.
00:03:30.259 --> 00:03:36.530
It's survival mode, it's managing the moment instead of using the moment.
00:03:37.414 --> 00:03:42.215
To create momentum but becoming, that's where the spark is.
00:03:42.724 --> 00:03:44.074
That's where your power is.
00:03:44.764 --> 00:03:46.144
That's where your future is.
00:03:47.794 --> 00:03:54.213
If all you're doing is working from a place of who you are right now, you're never gonna experience the life that you could have.
00:03:55.444 --> 00:03:58.655
Why be just good if great is available?
00:03:59.658 --> 00:04:01.788
You're never gonna see the beauty of your potential.
00:04:02.028 --> 00:04:06.379
You're gonna be stuck managing today instead of creating tomorrow.
00:04:07.370 --> 00:04:08.750
So you gotta set a new standard.
00:04:09.709 --> 00:04:15.769
Set a bold goal stretch, because what's the worst that could happen?
00:04:16.699 --> 00:04:18.319
Go back to Dr. Hardy's line.
00:04:18.709 --> 00:04:23.538
If I'm going to lose today, let it be to the man that I'm becoming.
00:04:23.675 --> 00:04:30.214
I not the man that I am today, because at least if I lose, I've moved further.
00:04:30.694 --> 00:04:31.925
At least I've stretched.
00:04:32.254 --> 00:04:34.115
At least I've gained clarity and momentum.
00:04:34.865 --> 00:04:38.014
And when you stretch, you don't see limitations.
00:04:38.404 --> 00:04:39.574
You see possibility.
00:04:40.321 --> 00:04:41.341
Do you want independence?
00:04:41.341 --> 00:04:45.810
Do you want that fire, that freedom, that boldness in your life?
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.120
Then bro, you gotta be curious.
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:49.531
You gotta be creative.
00:04:50.071 --> 00:04:51.091
You gotta be bold.
00:04:51.829 --> 00:04:52.749
That's the formula.
00:04:53.288 --> 00:04:54.279
Be curious.
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:55.449
Be creative.
00:04:55.809 --> 00:04:56.559
Be bold.
00:04:56.918 --> 00:04:59.108
Stop waiting for permission.
00:04:59.709 --> 00:05:03.218
Our blue skies, our straight roads, just go.
00:05:03.649 --> 00:05:05.689
And you don't go as you are.
00:05:06.468 --> 00:05:10.038
You go from who you wanna become.
00:05:11.449 --> 00:05:12.589
That's where your power is.
00:05:13.129 --> 00:05:14.358
That's where your freedom lies.
00:05:14.795 --> 00:05:32.245
Because see, there's a version of you, a future version that you're proud of that kicks in doors, that climbs walls, and that finds a way outta no way, that's the art of becoming sadly, most people play not to lose, but you play to win.
00:05:34.014 --> 00:05:35.095
So don't be you today.
00:05:36.264 --> 00:05:37.345
Be who you're becoming.
00:05:39.264 --> 00:05:39.985
Keep it simple.
00:05:40.045 --> 00:05:40.764
Keep it moving.
00:05:40.795 --> 00:05:41.514
Never settle.
00:05:41.514 --> 00:05:42.115
Stay tough.
00:05:42.115 --> 00:05:42.595
Peace.
00:00:01.739 --> 00:00:01.979
All right.
00:00:01.979 --> 00:00:03.060

I just finished Go for No the sequel.
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.169
By Andrea Waltz and Richard Fenton.
00:00:15.689 --> 00:00:19.620

Be who you're becoming.
00:05:39.264 --> 00:05:39.985
Keep it simple.
