Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.
WEBVTT
00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:00.869
All right.
00:00:00.869 --> 00:00:02.040
3, 2, 1. Let's get it.
00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:07.950
Boy, this is why I absolutely love doing what I do.
00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:22.500
Ab I, I just love creating podcasts because there's one thing that I've gotten away from, didn't realize it, and there's another thing that I just had an awareness.
00:00:23.475 --> 00:00:39.854
And so let me unpack both of them, and these are both ways to both of them protect your momentum and both of them, before I forget the thought, both of them protect the season that you're in, because I do believe life is full of seasons.
00:00:39.884 --> 00:00:42.825
And so what, what worked for you at one time?
00:00:44.393 --> 00:00:49.198
It may not be working for you now, and a lot of times we beat ourselves up.
00:00:49.319 --> 00:00:50.518
Well, let me rephrase that.
00:00:50.579 --> 00:01:05.849
A lot of times I beat myself up because I'm trying to use the habits that I used in an old season and apply it to the new season, and I just can't seem to catch that rhythm.
00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:12.394
And then just like, well, you don't want it bad enough and you don't, you don't want it like you used to, and all these kind of different things.
00:01:14.969 --> 00:01:22.620
And so, you know, as I'm thinking about this, you know, thi this year is going to be a year of consistency for me.
00:01:22.620 --> 00:01:30.840
Like if that, if that's my one word, it's, it's consistency and I'm consistent, yet I don't always have the consistency.
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.894
Like I, I wish I did, and I don't believe that life should be so rigid.
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:42.569
That you just shut the world out and don't enjoy life, but you can't be a hell raiser either.
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:48.870
And so as I was thinking about that this morning, I was listening to Shane Parrish, uh, and James Clear.
00:01:48.870 --> 00:01:56.969
James Clear was on Shane's podcast, and I don't think he even said it, but I remember it from Atomic Habits.
00:01:57.659 --> 00:02:00.450
And it's something that always stuck with me, but I got away from it.
00:02:00.989 --> 00:02:05.250
And it's the, it's the, it's the idea of never miss twice.
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:12.599
So that's something that one way to protect your momentum is the concept of never Miss Twice.
00:02:12.659 --> 00:02:21.030
And this is something that I used to talk to my salespeople about, and I will talk to them about this now because I forgot about it and this is what's good.
00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:28.889
You know, I record these episodes and then I come back to 'em years later and I'm like, Ugh, something I got away from.
00:02:29.550 --> 00:02:34.680
So lemme explain What never Miss Twice is when you're trying to get this.
00:02:35.368 --> 00:02:37.079
This rhythm going Okay.
00:02:37.588 --> 00:02:46.949
The, the never miss twice is a concept of if, if you, some things pop up, circumstances pop up in a day, okay?
00:02:46.949 --> 00:02:48.838
And you can't, and you, you miss a workout.
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:50.879
Don't, don't miss the second one.
00:02:50.939 --> 00:02:51.778
Never miss twice.
00:02:51.778 --> 00:02:52.649
Never go back to back with it.
00:02:54.525 --> 00:02:59.085
And so because the, the first, the first day is circumstances.
00:02:59.085 --> 00:03:00.794
Sometimes they're outside of your control.
00:03:01.485 --> 00:03:05.805
The next day that you miss is a day of it's, it's a choice.
00:03:06.314 --> 00:03:11.175
The third becomes condemnation and that, and then like then, then what do you do?
00:03:11.175 --> 00:03:15.224
You go around, you tell everybody, man, you know, I was doing so good.
00:03:15.224 --> 00:03:15.615
And then.
00:03:15.979 --> 00:03:20.659
This came up and that becomes the event and that becomes the reason why you can't be successful, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:20.900 --> 00:03:24.949
And we have that same thing I tell my salespeople, like never miss twice.
00:03:25.129 --> 00:03:40.729
Meaning there may be days that you can't prospect, there may be days that you're actually having to service a lot of customers, or you got some service heat, or you got some catching up to do or reporting or whatever, and you don't prospect like you normally do, never miss twice.
00:03:41.090 --> 00:03:41.444
And so.
00:03:42.525 --> 00:03:46.935
When you, if you miss the second time, what, bro, you're just a basket case.
00:03:46.995 --> 00:03:53.055
And then the third day you're con, you're not only condemning yourself, but you're also trying to swing for the fences.
00:03:53.264 --> 00:03:55.905
So this protects the momentum.
00:03:56.294 --> 00:04:00.164
So, hey things, and it gives you some, some leniency.
00:04:00.555 --> 00:04:00.884
Okay?
00:04:00.884 --> 00:04:06.764
Things pop up and you can build in some forgiveness and some grace, I could think is the word I'm, I'm thinking about.
00:04:07.004 --> 00:04:11.085
And so this will give you some grace to say, okay.
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.159
This happened sucks.
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:15.479
Never missed twice.
00:04:15.930 --> 00:04:20.278
Okay, now here's, here's the aha moment for me today.
00:04:21.870 --> 00:04:24.240
Never do it twice.
00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:26.968
So never miss twice.
00:04:27.029 --> 00:04:32.610
Protects the momentum that when it comes to a workout, you don't miss the second one.
00:04:32.970 --> 00:04:34.529
Never do it twice.
00:04:34.949 --> 00:04:37.680
Gives you the flexibility in life.
00:04:38.220 --> 00:04:39.540
You're not so rigid.
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:49.649
So when you want to have an indulgence, a night on the town with friends, whatever the case may be, don't do it twice.
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.125
So you do it once, but don't do it the second day.
00:04:53.894 --> 00:04:54.165
Okay.
00:04:54.165 --> 00:04:57.074
They, these, these two days can't link together.
00:04:57.194 --> 00:05:08.954
And so when you, when you don't do it twice, you don't allow that rhythm to catch in because what's, what's sneaky about habits is a lot of times there are the fuse, right?
00:05:09.014 --> 00:05:12.199
And so there are things that you worked so hard to get away from.
00:05:13.769 --> 00:05:16.980
And sometimes you kind of drop your guard a little bit.
00:05:17.189 --> 00:05:22.139
You're like, okay, you know, I, I've been really, I've been a year strict at this.
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:23.370
Let me enjoy it.
00:05:23.699 --> 00:05:24.300
I get it.
00:05:24.569 --> 00:05:25.680
And there's nothing wrong with that.
00:05:25.980 --> 00:05:28.560
I don't, I don't think we should run around life being robots.
00:05:28.949 --> 00:05:29.310
Okay.
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:34.829
But also, we can't just be this hell raiser where we just blow the town up all the time either.
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:41.279
So this protects your non-negotiables and your non-negotiables.
00:05:41.954 --> 00:05:44.024
Are things that I gotta get done.
00:05:44.264 --> 00:05:44.654
Okay?
00:05:44.805 --> 00:05:51.435
So the non-negotiables, because I always say, and you've heard me say it many times, if you negotiate with yourself, you're dead.
00:05:51.824 --> 00:05:52.214
Right?
00:05:52.305 --> 00:06:02.355
And so this is a way to have some flexibility, yet protect the momentum, maintain the momentum, and grow the momentum.
00:06:02.985 --> 00:06:04.064
But also.
00:06:05.564 --> 00:06:06.853
Enjoy life as well.
00:06:07.245 --> 00:06:09.704
So never do it twice.
00:06:09.973 --> 00:06:19.454
Doesn't allow these things to connect together, because once they do, you get a couple of two or three of these days together, it becomes a lot harder to break.
00:06:19.483 --> 00:06:19.783
Okay.
00:06:19.783 --> 00:06:24.014
That's why, you know, you've heard me say two, like justice once isn't a moment.
00:06:24.014 --> 00:06:26.774
It's a mindset and justice.
00:06:26.774 --> 00:06:31.154
Once you're, you're, you've gotta be careful of that.
00:06:31.154 --> 00:06:32.625
I, I, it's not that.
00:06:33.464 --> 00:06:34.875
You can't enjoy some things.
00:06:34.904 --> 00:06:36.223
I, you got to.
00:06:36.824 --> 00:06:39.494
I mean, there, there are, there are people that I've followed on social media, man.
00:06:40.514 --> 00:06:46.904
Who were like hardcore, rigid and then died of a heart attack, and I'm like, what the hell?
00:06:47.233 --> 00:06:47.625
Okay.
00:06:47.834 --> 00:06:51.944
But then there are also people who are just complete hell raisers and they outlive those people.
00:06:52.033 --> 00:06:57.824
So, you know, I don't, I don't wanna be the hell raiser, but I don't want to be Mr. Robot where I just.
00:06:58.095 --> 00:07:02.475
Shun my family and friends because, you know, I'm, I'm Mr.
00:07:02.475 --> 00:07:05.745
Task Master here, and I don't have any flexibility.
00:07:05.745 --> 00:07:07.754
There's no, there's no color in my life.
00:07:07.754 --> 00:07:08.745
I wanna enjoy life.
00:07:08.985 --> 00:07:09.314
Okay?
00:07:09.464 --> 00:07:13.485
But I don't want to indulge overindulge either.
00:07:13.634 --> 00:07:14.055
Okay?
00:07:14.295 --> 00:07:18.345
So this is a way, again, to protect your momentum.
00:07:18.644 --> 00:07:19.605
Never miss twice.
00:07:21.269 --> 00:07:21.598
Okay.
00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:23.069
Circumstances pop up.
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:24.209
Don't go back to back.
00:07:24.209 --> 00:07:25.620
Force yourself, force the action.
00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:31.680
Get back in there even if you have to, even if it's a little bit slower than it normally is, it's okay.
00:07:31.829 --> 00:07:33.125
You got it in you.
00:07:33.129 --> 00:07:34.680
You did miss twice.
00:07:34.978 --> 00:07:35.250
Okay.
00:07:35.310 --> 00:07:36.658
Never do it twice.
00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:37.798
Is.
00:07:38.189 --> 00:07:38.908
Enjoy it.
00:07:39.149 --> 00:07:40.468
Enjoy your night on town.
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.658
Have some drinks, whatever the case may be.
00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:45.360
Bust up a seafood platter.
00:07:45.658 --> 00:07:47.158
Order dessert if you want to.
00:07:47.579 --> 00:07:50.129
Just don't do it the second time in a row, okay?
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:50.728
Don't do it.
00:07:50.728 --> 00:07:56.519
Back to back, and this will keep you going, growing and having fun.
00:07:56.579 --> 00:07:56.939
Alright?
00:07:56.968 --> 00:07:58.079
Keep it simple, keep it moving.
00:07:58.079 --> 00:07:58.620
Never settle.
00:07:58.620 --> 00:07:59.158
Stay tough.
00:07:59.158 --> 00:07:59.519
Peace.
00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:00.869
All right.
00:00:00.869 --> 00:00:02.040
3, 2, 1. Let's get it.
00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:07.950
Boy, this is why I absolutely love doing what I do.
00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:22.500
Ab I, I just love creating podcasts because there's one thing that I've gotten away from, didn't realize it, and there's another thing that I just had an awareness.
00:00:23.475 --> 00:00:39.854
And so let me unpack both of them, and these are both ways to both of them protect your momentum and both of them, before I forget the thought, both of them protect the season that you're in, because I do believe life is full of seasons.
00:00:39.884 --> 00:00:42.825
And so what, what worked for you at one time?
00:00:44.393 --> 00:00:49.198
It may not be working for you now, and a lot of times we beat ourselves up.
00:00:49.319 --> 00:00:50.518
Well, let me rephrase that.
00:00:50.579 --> 00:01:05.849
A lot of times I beat myself up because I'm trying to use the habits that I used in an old season and apply it to the new season, and I just can't seem to catch that rhythm.
00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:12.394
And then just like, well, you don't want it bad enough and you don't, you don't want it like you used to, and all these kind of different things.
00:01:14.969 --> 00:01:22.620
And so, you know, as I'm thinking about this, you know, thi this year is going to be a year of consistency for me.
00:01:22.620 --> 00:01:30.840
Like if that, if that's my one word, it's, it's consistency and I'm consistent, yet I don't always have the consistency.
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.894
Like I, I wish I did, and I don't believe that life should be so rigid.
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:42.569
That you just shut the world out and don't enjoy life, but you can't be a hell raiser either.
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:48.870
And so as I was thinking about that this morning, I was listening to Shane Parrish, uh, and James Clear.
00:01:48.870 --> 00:01:56.969
James Clear was on Shane's podcast, and I don't think he even said it, but I remember it from Atomic Habits.
00:01:57.659 --> 00:02:00.450
And it's something that always stuck with me, but I got away from it.
00:02:00.989 --> 00:02:05.250
And it's the, it's the, it's the idea of never miss twice.
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:12.599
So that's something that one way to protect your momentum is the concept of never Miss Twice.
00:02:12.659 --> 00:02:21.030
And this is something that I used to talk to my salespeople about, and I will talk to them about this now because I forgot about it and this is what's good.
00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:28.889
You know, I record these episodes and then I come back to 'em years later and I'm like, Ugh, something I got away from.
00:02:29.550 --> 00:02:34.680
So lemme explain What never Miss Twice is when you're trying to get this.
00:02:35.368 --> 00:02:37.079
This rhythm going Okay.
00:02:37.588 --> 00:02:46.949
The, the never miss twice is a concept of if, if you, some things pop up, circumstances pop up in a day, okay?
00:02:46.949 --> 00:02:48.838
And you can't, and you, you miss a workout.
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:50.879
Don't, don't miss the second one.
00:02:50.939 --> 00:02:51.778
Never miss twice.
00:02:51.778 --> 00:02:52.649
Never go back to back with it.
00:02:54.525 --> 00:02:59.085
And so because the, the first, the first day is circumstances.
00:02:59.085 --> 00:03:00.794
Sometimes they're outside of your control.
00:03:01.485 --> 00:03:05.805
The next day that you miss is a day of it's, it's a choice.
00:03:06.314 --> 00:03:11.175
The third becomes condemnation and that, and then like then, then what do you do?
00:03:11.175 --> 00:03:15.224
You go around, you tell everybody, man, you know, I was doing so good.
00:03:15.224 --> 00:03:15.615
And then.
00:03:15.979 --> 00:03:20.659
This came up and that becomes the event and that becomes the reason why you can't be successful, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:20.900 --> 00:03:24.949
And we have that same thing I tell my salespeople, like never miss twice.
00:03:25.129 --> 00:03:40.729
Meaning there may be days that you can't prospect, there may be days that you're actually having to service a lot of customers, or you got some service heat, or you got some catching up to do or reporting or whatever, and you don't prospect like you normally do, never miss twice.
00:03:41.090 --> 00:03:41.444
And so.
00:03:42.525 --> 00:03:46.935
When you, if you miss the second time, what, bro, you're just a basket case.
00:03:46.995 --> 00:03:53.055
And then the third day you're con, you're not only condemning yourself, but you're also trying to swing for the fences.
00:03:53.264 --> 00:03:55.905
So this protects the momentum.
00:03:56.294 --> 00:04:00.164
So, hey things, and it gives you some, some leniency.
00:04:00.555 --> 00:04:00.884
Okay?
00:04:00.884 --> 00:04:06.764
Things pop up and you can build in some forgiveness and some grace, I could think is the word I'm, I'm thinking about.
00:04:07.004 --> 00:04:11.085
And so this will give you some grace to say, okay.
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.159
This happened sucks.
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:15.479
Never missed twice.
00:04:15.930 --> 00:04:20.278
Okay, now here's, here's the aha moment for me today.
00:04:21.870 --> 00:04:24.240
Never do it twice.
00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:26.968
So never miss twice.
00:04:27.029 --> 00:04:32.610
Protects the momentum that when it comes to a workout, you don't miss the second one.
00:04:32.970 --> 00:04:34.529
Never do it twice.
00:04:34.949 --> 00:04:37.680
Gives you the flexibility in life.
00:04:38.220 --> 00:04:39.540
You're not so rigid.
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:49.649
So when you want to have an indulgence, a night on the town with friends, whatever the case may be, don't do it twice.
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.125
So you do it once, but don't do it the second day.
00:04:53.894 --> 00:04:54.165
Okay.
00:04:54.165 --> 00:04:57.074
They, these, these two days can't link together.
00:04:57.194 --> 00:05:08.954
And so when you, when you don't do it twice, you don't allow that rhythm to catch in because what's, what's sneaky about habits is a lot of times there are the fuse, right?
00:05:09.014 --> 00:05:12.199
And so there are things that you worked so hard to get away from.
00:05:13.769 --> 00:05:16.980
And sometimes you kind of drop your guard a little bit.
00:05:17.189 --> 00:05:22.139
You're like, okay, you know, I, I've been really, I've been a year strict at this.
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:23.370
Let me enjoy it.
00:05:23.699 --> 00:05:24.300
I get it.
00:05:24.569 --> 00:05:25.680
And there's nothing wrong with that.
00:05:25.980 --> 00:05:28.560
I don't, I don't think we should run around life being robots.
00:05:28.949 --> 00:05:29.310
Okay.
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:34.829
But also, we can't just be this hell raiser where we just blow the town up all the time either.
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:41.279
So this protects your non-negotiables and your non-negotiables.
00:05:41.954 --> 00:05:44.024
Are things that I gotta get done.
00:05:44.264 --> 00:05:44.654
Okay?
00:05:44.805 --> 00:05:51.435
So the non-negotiables, because I always say, and you've heard me say it many times, if you negotiate with yourself, you're dead.
00:05:51.824 --> 00:05:52.214
Right?
00:05:52.305 --> 00:06:02.355
And so this is a way to have some flexibility, yet protect the momentum, maintain the momentum, and grow the momentum.
00:06:02.985 --> 00:06:04.064
But also.
00:06:05.564 --> 00:06:06.853
Enjoy life as well.
00:06:07.245 --> 00:06:09.704
So never do it twice.
00:06:09.973 --> 00:06:19.454
Doesn't allow these things to connect together, because once they do, you get a couple of two or three of these days together, it becomes a lot harder to break.
00:06:19.483 --> 00:06:19.783
Okay.
00:06:19.783 --> 00:06:24.014
That's why, you know, you've heard me say two, like justice once isn't a moment.
00:06:24.014 --> 00:06:26.774
It's a mindset and justice.
00:06:26.774 --> 00:06:31.154
Once you're, you're, you've gotta be careful of that.
00:06:31.154 --> 00:06:32.625
I, I, it's not that.
00:06:33.464 --> 00:06:34.875
You can't enjoy some things.
00:06:34.904 --> 00:06:36.223
I, you got to.
00:06:36.824 --> 00:06:39.494
I mean, there, there are, there are people that I've followed on social media, man.
00:06:40.514 --> 00:06:46.904
Who were like hardcore, rigid and then died of a heart attack, and I'm like, what the hell?
00:06:47.233 --> 00:06:47.625
Okay.
00:06:47.834 --> 00:06:51.944
But then there are also people who are just complete hell raisers and they outlive those people.
00:06:52.033 --> 00:06:57.824
So, you know, I don't, I don't wanna be the hell raiser, but I don't want to be Mr. Robot where I just.
00:06:58.095 --> 00:07:02.475
Shun my family and friends because, you know, I'm, I'm Mr.
00:07:02.475 --> 00:07:05.745
Task Master here, and I don't have any flexibility.
00:07:05.745 --> 00:07:07.754
There's no, there's no color in my life.
00:07:07.754 --> 00:07:08.745
I wanna enjoy life.
00:07:08.985 --> 00:07:09.314
Okay?
00:07:09.464 --> 00:07:13.485
But I don't want to indulge overindulge either.
00:07:13.634 --> 00:07:14.055
Okay?
00:07:14.295 --> 00:07:18.345
So this is a way, again, to protect your momentum.
00:07:18.644 --> 00:07:19.605
Never miss twice.
00:07:21.269 --> 00:07:21.598
Okay.
00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:23.069
Circumstances pop up.
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:24.209
Don't go back to back.
00:07:24.209 --> 00:07:25.620
Force yourself, force the action.
00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:31.680
Get back in there even if you have to, even if it's a little bit slower than it normally is, it's okay.
00:07:31.829 --> 00:07:33.125
You got it in you.
00:07:33.129 --> 00:07:34.680
You did miss twice.
00:07:34.978 --> 00:07:35.250
Okay.
00:07:35.310 --> 00:07:36.658
Never do it twice.
00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:37.798
Is.
00:07:38.189 --> 00:07:38.908
Enjoy it.
00:07:39.149 --> 00:07:40.468
Enjoy your night on town.
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.658
Have some drinks, whatever the case may be.
00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:45.360
Bust up a seafood platter.
00:07:45.658 --> 00:07:47.158
Order dessert if you want to.
00:07:47.579 --> 00:07:50.129
Just don't do it the second time in a row, okay?
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:50.728
Don't do it.
00:07:50.728 --> 00:07:56.519
Back to back, and this will keep you going, growing and having fun.
00:07:56.579 --> 00:07:56.939
Alright?
00:07:56.968 --> 00:07:58.079
Keep it simple, keep it moving.
00:07:58.079 --> 00:07:58.620
Never settle.
00:07:58.620 --> 00:07:59.158
Stay tough.
00:07:59.158 --> 00:07:59.519
Peace.
