00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:01.050
All right.
00:00:01.050 --> 00:00:02.250
3, 2, 1. Let's get it.
00:00:02.339 --> 00:00:16.710
Welcome to another episode of What's Your Problem, the podcast, episode 9, 6, 6, and today, man, I want to talk about success starts with curiosity.
00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:18.684
Think about this with me.
00:00:19.704 --> 00:00:26.094
If you stay curious, you will be and remain.
00:00:26.875 --> 00:00:27.653
Successful.
00:00:28.644 --> 00:00:31.074
It's when you have the lack of curiosity.
00:00:31.135 --> 00:00:39.834
Just think about this in your own life, when you have the lack of curiosity, this leads to a contraction.
00:00:40.465 --> 00:00:48.414
See, with curiosity is expansion without curiosity is contraction.
00:00:48.984 --> 00:00:52.284
And you may feel right now, like your world is super, super small.
00:00:52.585 --> 00:00:53.753
How curious are you?
00:00:54.054 --> 00:00:56.784
Like things have just, the tide is turned on you.
00:00:57.295 --> 00:01:00.774
Things aren't really working or happening for you like they once did.
00:01:00.774 --> 00:01:09.290
It's like your situation's a little bit worse than it once was, and the number one question I would ask you is, how curious are you?
00:01:10.790 --> 00:01:13.790
You have to think of curiosity as a muscle.
00:01:14.796 --> 00:01:16.236
It genuinely is.
00:01:16.596 --> 00:01:21.516
So if it's a muscle, then that means that you have to work it every single day.
00:01:22.146 --> 00:01:23.615
This is how you stay curious.
00:01:24.305 --> 00:01:27.275
It's, it's an active participating sport.
00:01:28.055 --> 00:01:39.941
Curiosity is, so, the more curious you are, the more creative you'll be, and the more creative you are, the more successful that you're gonna be.
00:01:41.001 --> 00:01:41.930
I mean, think about that.
00:01:41.930 --> 00:01:43.551
Let's just unpack that real quick.
00:01:45.051 --> 00:01:46.490
Just stay curious.
00:01:47.210 --> 00:01:56.885
Instead of making assumptions, making a statement, just simply catch yourself and turn it into a question.
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.281
So you see something, you're about to just make an assumption.
00:02:01.551 --> 00:02:03.710
You're about to sit here and say, it won't work.
00:02:03.861 --> 00:02:05.001
It's not gonna happen.
00:02:05.331 --> 00:02:07.430
Oh, well, we're effed, whatever.
00:02:07.881 --> 00:02:13.341
So before you make a statement, turn it into the form of a question.
00:02:14.140 --> 00:02:21.281
And then when you ask a question, see, asking the question, it's what's going to create?
00:02:22.631 --> 00:02:23.711
Opportunities for you.
00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:25.811
See where most people think about this.
00:02:25.811 --> 00:02:35.531
When you're not curious and you're not asking questions, when you hit a roadblock, when you see an obstacle, you see an obstacle for what it is.
00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:42.700
But when you genuinely ask a question, when you're creative, you in your mind, you are already have an assumption.
00:02:42.700 --> 00:02:43.241
I get it.
00:02:43.450 --> 00:02:45.281
You can think it all day long, just don't speak it.
00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:48.820
If you will turn it into a a question.
00:02:49.675 --> 00:02:53.878
A genuine question, not an accusatory kind of question.
00:02:53.878 --> 00:02:54.989
That's not a real question.
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.194
That's a statement masked as a question.
00:02:58.218 --> 00:03:02.359
That's the, I've already got a statement, so I'm gonna ask it in this way because I already know the answer.
00:03:02.359 --> 00:03:03.588
No, that's not what I'm talking about.
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:14.599
Like when you genuinely ask a question, where everybody else sees obstacles, you create opportunities.
00:03:14.780 --> 00:03:15.409
Why?
00:03:15.993 --> 00:03:22.804
Because with that curiosity, genuine curiosity, you're looking for options.
00:03:22.804 --> 00:03:25.384
You're looking for opportunities.
00:03:25.961 --> 00:03:32.170
And so then when you start asking questions out of genuine curiosity, this triggers creativity.
00:03:32.897 --> 00:03:48.638
the creativity, instead of shrugging your shoulders with an Oh, well, because you're looking for opportunities because you're, you're genuinely curious that creativity, when you lack resources, you get resourceful.
00:03:48.638 --> 00:03:51.068
You're like, Hmm, what do I have right now?
00:03:51.457 --> 00:03:52.987
What not, what I wish I had.
00:03:53.048 --> 00:03:54.087
Like what do I have?
00:03:54.358 --> 00:03:56.427
What can I use to at least get started?
00:03:56.478 --> 00:03:59.237
You may not have everything that you need, but you got enough to get started.
00:03:59.657 --> 00:04:06.228
See, that's where these, when you pair curiosity and creativity together, you're genuinely curious.
00:04:06.467 --> 00:04:07.668
You have that wonder.
00:04:08.252 --> 00:04:10.082
You're creative, you're like, Hmm.
00:04:10.562 --> 00:04:13.263
You get scrappy, you like figure things out.
00:04:14.163 --> 00:04:17.913
The whole world is just seeing an obstacle saying, oh, it can't be done.
00:04:17.913 --> 00:04:20.612
I don't, I don't have the resources won't happen.
00:04:22.173 --> 00:04:24.153
This is, this is how you maneuver through.
00:04:24.812 --> 00:04:28.052
This is how you create opportunities for yourself.
00:04:28.853 --> 00:04:35.963
you gotta kind of look at it like curiosity and creativity paired together, become like your breakthrough bands for you.
00:04:36.353 --> 00:04:36.862
They do.
00:04:37.072 --> 00:04:49.223
They create breakthroughs for you because when you incessantly spin these things, curiosity and creativity together, this is what's going to cause eventual favors.
00:04:49.523 --> 00:04:52.163
You want favoritism in your life, you gotta create it.
00:04:52.523 --> 00:04:55.913
You can have it with curiosity and creativity.
00:04:56.153 --> 00:05:16.822
So this is what creates favors, favorable op opportunities, favorable happenstance, connections, just in time opportunities like you were like dead in, in 30, say like your dream was dead in 30 seconds and all of a sudden something sparks through.
00:05:18.322 --> 00:05:20.033
Favorable coincidences.
00:05:21.353 --> 00:05:25.853
I mean the, the, you just, when you start doing this and you exercise these things and that is key.
00:05:26.182 --> 00:05:30.293
And when you do this, this is what's going to create ultimate success.
00:05:30.752 --> 00:05:33.213
when you create the habit, this is what you gotta look at.
00:05:33.213 --> 00:05:38.523
Curiosity and creativity have to become a habit.
00:05:39.093 --> 00:05:48.213
And so when you make this a habit every day, you confront where everybody else like goes back the other way, this.
00:05:49.023 --> 00:05:49.742
You confront.
00:05:50.043 --> 00:05:50.583
Why?
00:05:50.973 --> 00:05:52.593
Because you're not scared of anything.
00:05:52.593 --> 00:06:00.992
You may not have the answers, but you have curiosity and you, you, you, you pair it with creativity and you're like, Hmm.
00:06:01.293 --> 00:06:06.108
And this is how you just wiggle through and you continuously climb.
00:06:07.218 --> 00:06:09.377
Because everybody else is looking for certainty.
00:06:09.708 --> 00:06:12.017
Everybody else doesn't handle the adversity.
00:06:12.017 --> 00:06:15.317
And you confront these things, you're like, Hmm, alright, let's figure it out.
00:06:15.528 --> 00:06:18.677
I don't know, but I'm damn sure not going back.
00:06:19.577 --> 00:06:20.327
Let's play with it.
00:06:20.327 --> 00:06:26.507
And this, this creates the curiosity and creativity, man creates kind of a playful mindset.
00:06:26.512 --> 00:06:28.218
You don't get all rigid and hard.
00:06:28.218 --> 00:06:30.557
And this is something, again, I can't stress enough.
00:06:30.588 --> 00:06:34.002
It's gotta be a, a skill, a muscle that you work every single day.
00:06:34.622 --> 00:06:35.583
It's never you.
00:06:35.583 --> 00:06:37.742
You don't get a creativity badge.
00:06:38.372 --> 00:06:41.043
You don't get a curiosity Master's degree.
00:06:41.223 --> 00:06:41.702
No.
00:06:41.702 --> 00:06:43.293
You just master it every day.
00:06:43.293 --> 00:06:44.492
You just work within it.
00:06:45.262 --> 00:06:50.093
This curiosity and creativity every single day because you confront things.
00:06:50.783 --> 00:06:58.702
This is what creates expansion, and expansion is what creates ultimate success and sustained success.
00:06:58.942 --> 00:06:59.093
Okay?
00:06:59.093 --> 00:07:01.103
It's not enough to be just successful.
00:07:01.252 --> 00:07:02.843
Can I sustain success?
00:07:03.247 --> 00:07:09.877
The way you sustain that is curiosity and creativity, and that's, that's what's so trippy about this man.
00:07:09.877 --> 00:07:19.927
When I was reflecting on this this morning, I'm like, bro, how liberating it is that everything that you need to become successful is already within.
00:07:20.257 --> 00:07:23.887
There are five life skills that you need to be successful.
00:07:24.098 --> 00:07:30.127
Communication, curiosity, creativity, continuous learning and action, and productive confrontation.
00:07:30.127 --> 00:07:32.617
This is what I coach my clients with.
00:07:33.322 --> 00:07:43.103
That's, that's the five skills you need and what a blessing it is that it's not something you have to go out there and go buy or qualify for you.
00:07:43.132 --> 00:07:44.062
You already have 'em.
00:07:44.062 --> 00:07:45.682
They're within you.
00:07:45.682 --> 00:07:58.017
Just, I bring you these episodes so that way you can now start using them, ignite them in the right way, and it takes some intention and some focus, but the first focus is already have it.
00:07:58.778 --> 00:08:00.968
Success begins with curiosity.
00:08:01.298 --> 00:08:02.827
And with the curiosity.
00:08:03.038 --> 00:08:04.327
I ask questions.
00:08:04.658 --> 00:08:06.158
That's, that's all I want you to do today.
00:08:06.158 --> 00:08:19.447
Like instead, right before you make a statement, turn it into the form of a question with expansion, with just, just be loose minded in the sense that don't, don't think you already know the answer.
00:08:19.807 --> 00:08:20.168
Okay?
00:08:20.648 --> 00:08:26.197
So that curiosity, genuine curiosity, childlike curiosity.
00:08:27.892 --> 00:08:35.602
That now sparks creativity, and you start looking around like, what can I use?
00:08:36.293 --> 00:08:44.572
And that creativity and that curiosity banded together, it's what's going to create success for you.
00:08:45.533 --> 00:08:46.552
It's already right there.
00:08:46.913 --> 00:08:48.232
You already have it within.
00:08:48.923 --> 00:08:49.613
Now.
00:08:49.793 --> 00:08:52.613
Work every single day, so you never be without again.
00:08:53.123 --> 00:08:53.273
All right.
00:08:53.932 --> 00:08:55.913
Be sure and share this episode with someone else.
00:08:55.913 --> 00:08:57.653
I'll be back for another one soon.
00:08:58.312 --> 00:09:00.113
Remember, keep it simple, keep it moving.
00:09:00.113 --> 00:09:00.653
Never settle.
00:09:00.653 --> 00:09:01.163
Stay tough.
00:09:01.163 --> 00:09:01.613
Peace.
00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:01.050
All right.
00:00:01.050 --> 00:00:02.250
3, 2, 1. Let's get it.
00:00:02.339 --> 00:00:16.710
Welcome to another episode of What's Your Problem, the podcast, episode 9, 6, 6, and today, man, I want to talk about success starts with curiosity.
00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:18.684
Think about this with me.
00:00:19.704 --> 00:00:26.094
If you stay curious, you will be and remain.
00:00:26.875 --> 00:00:27.653
Successful.
00:00:28.644 --> 00:00:31.074
It's when you have the lack of curiosity.
00:00:31.135 --> 00:00:39.834
Just think about this in your own life, when you have the lack of curiosity, this leads to a contraction.
00:00:40.465 --> 00:00:48.414
See, with curiosity is expansion without curiosity is contraction.
00:00:48.984 --> 00:00:52.284
And you may feel right now, like your world is super, super small.
00:00:52.585 --> 00:00:53.753
How curious are you?
00:00:54.054 --> 00:00:56.784
Like things have just, the tide is turned on you.
00:00:57.295 --> 00:01:00.774
Things aren't really working or happening for you like they once did.
00:01:00.774 --> 00:01:09.290
It's like your situation's a little bit worse than it once was, and the number one question I would ask you is, how curious are you?
00:01:10.790 --> 00:01:13.790
You have to think of curiosity as a muscle.
00:01:14.796 --> 00:01:16.236
It genuinely is.
00:01:16.596 --> 00:01:21.516
So if it's a muscle, then that means that you have to work it every single day.
00:01:22.146 --> 00:01:23.615
This is how you stay curious.
00:01:24.305 --> 00:01:27.275
It's, it's an active participating sport.
00:01:28.055 --> 00:01:39.941
Curiosity is, so, the more curious you are, the more creative you'll be, and the more creative you are, the more successful that you're gonna be.
00:01:41.001 --> 00:01:41.930
I mean, think about that.
00:01:41.930 --> 00:01:43.551
Let's just unpack that real quick.
00:01:45.051 --> 00:01:46.490
Just stay curious.
00:01:47.210 --> 00:01:56.885
Instead of making assumptions, making a statement, just simply catch yourself and turn it into a question.
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.281
So you see something, you're about to just make an assumption.
00:02:01.551 --> 00:02:03.710
You're about to sit here and say, it won't work.
00:02:03.861 --> 00:02:05.001
It's not gonna happen.
00:02:05.331 --> 00:02:07.430
Oh, well, we're effed, whatever.
00:02:07.881 --> 00:02:13.341
So before you make a statement, turn it into the form of a question.
00:02:14.140 --> 00:02:21.281
And then when you ask a question, see, asking the question, it's what's going to create?
00:02:22.631 --> 00:02:23.711
Opportunities for you.
00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:25.811
See where most people think about this.
00:02:25.811 --> 00:02:35.531
When you're not curious and you're not asking questions, when you hit a roadblock, when you see an obstacle, you see an obstacle for what it is.
00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:42.700
But when you genuinely ask a question, when you're creative, you in your mind, you are already have an assumption.
00:02:42.700 --> 00:02:43.241
I get it.
00:02:43.450 --> 00:02:45.281
You can think it all day long, just don't speak it.
00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:48.820
If you will turn it into a a question.
00:02:49.675 --> 00:02:53.878
A genuine question, not an accusatory kind of question.
00:02:53.878 --> 00:02:54.989
That's not a real question.
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.194
That's a statement masked as a question.
00:02:58.218 --> 00:03:02.359
That's the, I've already got a statement, so I'm gonna ask it in this way because I already know the answer.
00:03:02.359 --> 00:03:03.588
No, that's not what I'm talking about.
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:14.599
Like when you genuinely ask a question, where everybody else sees obstacles, you create opportunities.
00:03:14.780 --> 00:03:15.409
Why?
00:03:15.993 --> 00:03:22.804
Because with that curiosity, genuine curiosity, you're looking for options.
00:03:22.804 --> 00:03:25.384
You're looking for opportunities.
00:03:25.961 --> 00:03:32.170
And so then when you start asking questions out of genuine curiosity, this triggers creativity.
00:03:32.897 --> 00:03:48.638
the creativity, instead of shrugging your shoulders with an Oh, well, because you're looking for opportunities because you're, you're genuinely curious that creativity, when you lack resources, you get resourceful.
00:03:48.638 --> 00:03:51.068
You're like, Hmm, what do I have right now?
00:03:51.457 --> 00:03:52.987
What not, what I wish I had.
00:03:53.048 --> 00:03:54.087
Like what do I have?
00:03:54.358 --> 00:03:56.427
What can I use to at least get started?
00:03:56.478 --> 00:03:59.237
You may not have everything that you need, but you got enough to get started.
00:03:59.657 --> 00:04:06.228
See, that's where these, when you pair curiosity and creativity together, you're genuinely curious.
00:04:06.467 --> 00:04:07.668
You have that wonder.
00:04:08.252 --> 00:04:10.082
You're creative, you're like, Hmm.
00:04:10.562 --> 00:04:13.263
You get scrappy, you like figure things out.
00:04:14.163 --> 00:04:17.913
The whole world is just seeing an obstacle saying, oh, it can't be done.
00:04:17.913 --> 00:04:20.612
I don't, I don't have the resources won't happen.
00:04:22.173 --> 00:04:24.153
This is, this is how you maneuver through.
00:04:24.812 --> 00:04:28.052
This is how you create opportunities for yourself.
00:04:28.853 --> 00:04:35.963
you gotta kind of look at it like curiosity and creativity paired together, become like your breakthrough bands for you.
00:04:36.353 --> 00:04:36.862
They do.
00:04:37.072 --> 00:04:49.223
They create breakthroughs for you because when you incessantly spin these things, curiosity and creativity together, this is what's going to cause eventual favors.
00:04:49.523 --> 00:04:52.163
You want favoritism in your life, you gotta create it.
00:04:52.523 --> 00:04:55.913
You can have it with curiosity and creativity.
00:04:56.153 --> 00:05:16.822
So this is what creates favors, favorable op opportunities, favorable happenstance, connections, just in time opportunities like you were like dead in, in 30, say like your dream was dead in 30 seconds and all of a sudden something sparks through.
00:05:18.322 --> 00:05:20.033
Favorable coincidences.
00:05:21.353 --> 00:05:25.853
I mean the, the, you just, when you start doing this and you exercise these things and that is key.
00:05:26.182 --> 00:05:30.293
And when you do this, this is what's going to create ultimate success.
00:05:30.752 --> 00:05:33.213
when you create the habit, this is what you gotta look at.
00:05:33.213 --> 00:05:38.523
Curiosity and creativity have to become a habit.
00:05:39.093 --> 00:05:48.213
And so when you make this a habit every day, you confront where everybody else like goes back the other way, this.
00:05:49.023 --> 00:05:49.742
You confront.
00:05:50.043 --> 00:05:50.583
Why?
00:05:50.973 --> 00:05:52.593
Because you're not scared of anything.
00:05:52.593 --> 00:06:00.992
You may not have the answers, but you have curiosity and you, you, you, you pair it with creativity and you're like, Hmm.
00:06:01.293 --> 00:06:06.108
And this is how you just wiggle through and you continuously climb.
00:06:07.218 --> 00:06:09.377
Because everybody else is looking for certainty.
00:06:09.708 --> 00:06:12.017
Everybody else doesn't handle the adversity.
00:06:12.017 --> 00:06:15.317
And you confront these things, you're like, Hmm, alright, let's figure it out.
00:06:15.528 --> 00:06:18.677
I don't know, but I'm damn sure not going back.
00:06:19.577 --> 00:06:20.327
Let's play with it.
00:06:20.327 --> 00:06:26.507
And this, this creates the curiosity and creativity, man creates kind of a playful mindset.
00:06:26.512 --> 00:06:28.218
You don't get all rigid and hard.
00:06:28.218 --> 00:06:30.557
And this is something, again, I can't stress enough.
00:06:30.588 --> 00:06:34.002
It's gotta be a, a skill, a muscle that you work every single day.
00:06:34.622 --> 00:06:35.583
It's never you.
00:06:35.583 --> 00:06:37.742
You don't get a creativity badge.
00:06:38.372 --> 00:06:41.043
You don't get a curiosity Master's degree.
00:06:41.223 --> 00:06:41.702
No.
00:06:41.702 --> 00:06:43.293
You just master it every day.
00:06:43.293 --> 00:06:44.492
You just work within it.
00:06:45.262 --> 00:06:50.093
This curiosity and creativity every single day because you confront things.
00:06:50.783 --> 00:06:58.702
This is what creates expansion, and expansion is what creates ultimate success and sustained success.
00:06:58.942 --> 00:06:59.093
Okay?
00:06:59.093 --> 00:07:01.103
It's not enough to be just successful.
00:07:01.252 --> 00:07:02.843
Can I sustain success?
00:07:03.247 --> 00:07:09.877
The way you sustain that is curiosity and creativity, and that's, that's what's so trippy about this man.
00:07:09.877 --> 00:07:19.927
When I was reflecting on this this morning, I'm like, bro, how liberating it is that everything that you need to become successful is already within.
00:07:20.257 --> 00:07:23.887
There are five life skills that you need to be successful.
00:07:24.098 --> 00:07:30.127
Communication, curiosity, creativity, continuous learning and action, and productive confrontation.
00:07:30.127 --> 00:07:32.617
This is what I coach my clients with.
00:07:33.322 --> 00:07:43.103
That's, that's the five skills you need and what a blessing it is that it's not something you have to go out there and go buy or qualify for you.
00:07:43.132 --> 00:07:44.062
You already have 'em.
00:07:44.062 --> 00:07:45.682
They're within you.
00:07:45.682 --> 00:07:58.017
Just, I bring you these episodes so that way you can now start using them, ignite them in the right way, and it takes some intention and some focus, but the first focus is already have it.
00:07:58.778 --> 00:08:00.968
Success begins with curiosity.
00:08:01.298 --> 00:08:02.827
And with the curiosity.
00:08:03.038 --> 00:08:04.327
I ask questions.
00:08:04.658 --> 00:08:06.158
That's, that's all I want you to do today.
00:08:06.158 --> 00:08:19.447
Like instead, right before you make a statement, turn it into the form of a question with expansion, with just, just be loose minded in the sense that don't, don't think you already know the answer.
00:08:19.807 --> 00:08:20.168
Okay?
00:08:20.648 --> 00:08:26.197
So that curiosity, genuine curiosity, childlike curiosity.
00:08:27.892 --> 00:08:35.602
That now sparks creativity, and you start looking around like, what can I use?
00:08:36.293 --> 00:08:44.572
And that creativity and that curiosity banded together, it's what's going to create success for you.
00:08:45.533 --> 00:08:46.552
It's already right there.
00:08:46.913 --> 00:08:48.232
You already have it within.
00:08:48.923 --> 00:08:49.613
Now.
00:08:49.793 --> 00:08:52.613
Work every single day, so you never be without again.
00:08:53.123 --> 00:08:53.273
All right.
00:08:53.932 --> 00:08:55.913
Be sure and share this episode with someone else.
00:08:55.913 --> 00:08:57.653
I'll be back for another one soon.
00:08:58.312 --> 00:09:00.113
Remember, keep it simple, keep it moving.
00:09:00.113 --> 00:09:00.653
Never settle.
00:09:00.653 --> 00:09:01.163
Stay tough.
00:09:01.163 --> 00:09:01.613
Peace.
