Rep. 943. Self Discipline Is NOT What You Think It Is.

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.329
All right.

00:00:00.329 --> 00:00:01.409
3, 2, 1. Let's get it.

00:00:01.409 --> 00:00:08.880
Today I wanna talk to you about something that I've never given enough credit to, and that's self-discipline.

00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:12.990
But self-discipline, not in the usual, you know?

00:00:12.990 --> 00:00:19.618
'cause when you think about it, self-discipline is like a grind it out, white knuckle, you know, kind of way.

00:00:19.739 --> 00:00:22.949
I, I'm not talking about that at all, but more so self-discipline.

00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:25.649
As a power tool.

00:00:26.278 --> 00:00:30.208
I never used to think of self-discipline as a power tool.

00:00:30.748 --> 00:00:43.500
I thought it more so like a chore, like something, you know, you think of Cameron Hans or David Goggin, something that's rigid, something that's grueling, something that's a grind.

00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:51.045
But after reading Success Habits by Napoleon Hill, specifically the chapter, I think it's chapter nine.

00:00:51.795 --> 00:00:53.204
On self-discipline.

00:00:53.774 --> 00:01:00.560
Dude, everything changed for me on that because self-discipline, it turns out it, it's not about.

00:01:01.619 --> 00:01:02.939
Living like a monk.

00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:10.379
It's not about being this super grinder, superhero kind of guy every hour of the day.

00:01:10.709 --> 00:01:12.358
You don't have to run a hundred miles.

00:01:12.509 --> 00:01:14.549
You don't have to sleep for just three hours.

00:01:14.728 --> 00:01:18.239
Self-discipline, according to heal, is simply this.

00:01:18.448 --> 00:01:24.088
It's keeping your mind fixed on what you do want in life and off of what you don't.

00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:26.399
Bro, it's that, that, that's it.

00:01:26.399 --> 00:01:26.879
It's that simple.

00:01:28.138 --> 00:01:31.409
And when I read that, it was like, oh my God.

00:01:31.918 --> 00:01:34.978
Like how hard do we do?

00:01:34.978 --> 00:01:39.088
We make things, how hard do we conceptualize self-discipline?

00:01:39.269 --> 00:01:40.769
Because self-discipline, if you ask.

00:01:42.569 --> 00:01:48.299
10 people in the room, what self-discipline means to them, you're gonna get 15 different answers.

00:01:48.388 --> 00:01:50.819
I mean, it's, it's all a little bit different.

00:01:50.819 --> 00:01:52.439
It's kinda like, what is love?

00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:54.599
It's kind of like that.

00:01:54.868 --> 00:02:03.799
And so when you, when you, when you ask people what self-discipline is, you're gonna get all kinds of different answers because.

00:02:04.299 --> 00:02:10.239
It is keeping your mind fixed on what you do want in life and off of what you don't.

00:02:11.259 --> 00:02:14.859
I mean, think about what we're mostly consumed with day in and day out.

00:02:15.218 --> 00:02:21.848
What we don't want, and I tell my salespeople that, but I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm the same way even in my personal life.

00:02:22.149 --> 00:02:26.558
It's like, why are you talking about things that you don't want?

00:02:27.098 --> 00:02:28.419
Why are you fixated over it?

00:02:28.688 --> 00:02:29.949
Why are you stressed over it?

00:02:30.699 --> 00:02:33.099
Because all you're doing is, is you're reinforcing it.

00:02:33.549 --> 00:02:34.838
You're breathing life into it.

00:02:35.019 --> 00:02:39.039
Hell, the Bible even says that life and death come from the power of the tongue.

00:02:39.310 --> 00:02:48.189
So when we're constantly talking about those things of what we don't want, you literally speak death into your life.

00:02:48.189 --> 00:02:51.699
You speak death of any future success.

00:02:51.789 --> 00:02:53.229
You're just, you're killing it.

00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:55.419
And it's not from any people.

00:02:55.569 --> 00:02:57.278
It's not from any circumstance.

00:02:57.459 --> 00:02:58.569
It's completely.

00:02:59.093 --> 00:02:59.754
From you.

00:02:59.993 --> 00:03:04.313
So the first step that you gotta do is you gotta define what you want.

00:03:04.554 --> 00:03:05.783
What do you want?

00:03:05.993 --> 00:03:13.734
That's the first thing, because being fixated, keeping your mind fixed on what you want, well hell, you better first know what you want.

00:03:14.004 --> 00:03:19.164
And even if it's not completely clear, get a general direction.

00:03:19.463 --> 00:03:22.998
There are five pillars in your life for a full-bodied life.

00:03:23.664 --> 00:03:27.954
Your faith, your family, which includes your relationships, your fitness.

00:03:28.164 --> 00:03:32.993
And when I say fitness, I'm talking about, I ain't talking about just jacked, chiseled, okay?

00:03:32.993 --> 00:03:36.264
I'm talking about mental, emotional, and physical.

00:03:36.384 --> 00:03:40.343
Your finances, your fulfillment, both professional and creative.

00:03:40.884 --> 00:03:46.254
You gotta fix your mind on those things, but first you gotta define those things.

00:03:46.754 --> 00:03:49.365
Now, I'm not saying that you're not gonna have circumstances.

00:03:49.514 --> 00:03:51.134
You are gonna have circumstances.

00:03:51.344 --> 00:03:54.405
Circumstances are gonna blind you, blindside you.

00:03:54.675 --> 00:03:58.004
You're gonna have circumstances that you did not even account for.

00:03:58.627 --> 00:03:59.527
They will pop up.

00:03:59.527 --> 00:04:04.328
So I'm not saying you, you just focus on what you want in life and all that stuff.

00:04:04.328 --> 00:04:06.187
It's just gotta, it's gonna fix itself.

00:04:06.187 --> 00:04:08.318
No, you have to confront those things.

00:04:08.497 --> 00:04:09.967
You gotta deal with those things.

00:04:10.207 --> 00:04:12.397
But see, you make those decisions.

00:04:13.122 --> 00:04:21.913
In all five areas of your life, your faith, your family, your fitness, your finances, your fulfillment, what area is pulling at you right now?

00:04:22.033 --> 00:04:26.742
What area has blindsided you or is like really aggravating you?

00:04:26.742 --> 00:04:29.233
Whatever it is, you make your decisions.

00:04:29.233 --> 00:04:35.293
You, you resolve those by making your decisions that align with what you do want in life.

00:04:35.793 --> 00:04:37.502
It's not about ignoring the chaos.

00:04:38.103 --> 00:04:41.702
It's that you're not gonna give it your complete minds share.

00:04:42.213 --> 00:04:44.673
And that's what self-discipline really is.

00:04:44.882 --> 00:04:47.583
If you want it in two words, mental ownership.

00:04:48.093 --> 00:04:51.603
Napoleon Hill reminded us that we have complete control over our mind.

00:04:52.473 --> 00:04:52.892
We do.

00:04:53.252 --> 00:04:57.512
That's like the only thing, I mean, read man's search for meaning.

00:04:58.023 --> 00:05:04.862
I mean, that that's the atrocities that he was facing in, in a, in a prison camp.

00:05:06.197 --> 00:05:08.298
Uh, it, the only thing he had was his mind.

00:05:09.108 --> 00:05:10.067
Same thing for you.

00:05:10.637 --> 00:05:16.937
And it may be difficult to acknowledge that at first, but that's it's because you don't wanna take ownership.

00:05:17.208 --> 00:05:32.588
But when you take mental ownership and you realize you have complete control over your mind, you realize that you have handed over parts of your mind over to people, to circumstances and your past.

00:05:33.458 --> 00:05:36.997
Those things are living rent free in your head.

00:05:37.177 --> 00:05:42.098
They ain't paying no rent, and all they're doing is they're just taking, taking, taking.

00:05:42.247 --> 00:05:45.697
And this is why you feel limited.

00:05:45.817 --> 00:05:48.187
This is why you feel whipped.

00:05:48.398 --> 00:05:50.168
This is why you have no energy.

00:05:50.377 --> 00:05:54.307
This is why you're cynical and pissed off at other everybody else.

00:05:54.875 --> 00:05:56.345
Time to take those shares back.

00:05:56.375 --> 00:05:58.654
You're a majority shareholder of your mind.

00:05:58.925 --> 00:06:00.394
You are now.

00:06:01.084 --> 00:06:10.055
You may not have realized over the years until now that, okay, I have given free shares of my mind away.

00:06:10.625 --> 00:06:20.225
Now, what you're gonna start doing is with self-discipline, keeping your mind fixed on what you want and none of what you don't want.

00:06:20.735 --> 00:06:23.790
This is how you begin to buy your shares back.

00:06:23.790 --> 00:06:24.901
This is how you begin.

00:06:25.276 --> 00:06:26.415
To take your mind back.

00:06:26.565 --> 00:06:28.725
This is why I created the core six.

00:06:29.206 --> 00:06:31.245
It's my daily alignment system.

00:06:31.396 --> 00:06:32.656
I'll send it to you for free.

00:06:32.896 --> 00:06:35.956
Just DM me, uh, on all the socials.

00:06:35.956 --> 00:06:36.886
Just DM me.

00:06:36.886 --> 00:06:40.396
OYPI got you covered, but this is what I live by, man.

00:06:40.396 --> 00:06:43.216
This isn't something I'm just spitting game about.

00:06:43.216 --> 00:06:44.295
This is what I live by.

00:06:44.295 --> 00:06:46.875
This is my core six, and this is.

00:06:47.201 --> 00:06:51.620
How I stay aligned and I have a OYP journal, which is outwork your Potential.

00:06:51.891 --> 00:06:55.401
I have a OYP journal that tracks these things.

00:06:56.211 --> 00:07:02.480
So this is what keeps me accountable and online in the five pillars of my life.

00:07:02.870 --> 00:07:08.011
Not all at once, but intentional once all the time, little by little.

00:07:08.755 --> 00:07:16.225
So let me show you quickly how Napoleon Hill used self-discipline in four powerful ways.

00:07:16.225 --> 00:07:19.886
He had some more, but I just, I, I just wanna unpack these.

00:07:20.156 --> 00:07:25.526
The first one is, he used self-discipline to remove self-imposed limitations.

00:07:25.826 --> 00:07:28.675
Most of our limitations are self-imposed.

00:07:29.483 --> 00:07:30.442
And where do they come from?

00:07:30.653 --> 00:07:35.392
Your past failures, your bad decision, someone else's opinion.

00:07:36.007 --> 00:07:40.028
Probably your family, they mean well, but they're capping you off.

00:07:40.358 --> 00:07:49.538
But when you fix your mind on what you do want, you build a simple checklist that supports that direction.

00:07:50.038 --> 00:07:57.250
And what's crazy is when you work this every single day, those limitations actually begin to dissolve.

00:07:58.019 --> 00:08:04.170
Because you're no longer staring at a wall anymore, you're building a path forward.

00:08:04.889 --> 00:08:06.209
That's why I say lay the brick.

00:08:06.779 --> 00:08:09.029
You do it one, one brick at a time, man.

00:08:09.750 --> 00:08:16.139
And as you keep stacking these wins, you reinforce your new beliefs through your actions.

00:08:16.589 --> 00:08:23.062
Eventually negative momentum becomes positive momentum, and ultimately you'll succeed.

00:08:23.062 --> 00:08:26.033
That's timeline we're on eventually and ultimately, eventually.

00:08:26.603 --> 00:08:28.103
Things are gonna tip in your favor.

00:08:28.372 --> 00:08:29.752
Ultimately, you're gonna succeed.

00:08:30.052 --> 00:08:31.283
Will you have some losses in there?

00:08:31.312 --> 00:08:32.033
Absolutely.

00:08:32.123 --> 00:08:32.812
That's part of it.

00:08:32.812 --> 00:08:33.562
That's how you learn.

00:08:34.133 --> 00:08:35.543
That's how you realize what you don't want.

00:08:35.543 --> 00:08:37.043
This is how you improve your efficiencies.

00:08:37.552 --> 00:08:44.962
This is how you get out there and start reaching out and having other people help you.

00:08:45.052 --> 00:08:55.582
You this, you know the decision is yours alone, but you do need other people to help you along the way, and you need to help them along the way.

00:08:55.582 --> 00:08:58.643
It's a. It's a, it, it, it's not a transaction.

00:08:59.062 --> 00:09:01.403
You're, you're both transforming each other.

00:09:01.852 --> 00:09:05.692
And if they don't, then they're not just not in your, they're not in your camp.

00:09:05.993 --> 00:09:11.539
The second way Napoleon Hill used self-discipline is by budgeting his time.

00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.799
I mean, think about, oh man, the time got away from me.

00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.529
I mean, dude, when I turned 50.

00:09:18.222 --> 00:09:21.102
You know, I started selling when I was 25.

00:09:21.462 --> 00:09:29.222
Same place I'm at, and when I turned 50 I'm like, oh my God, I've given half my life to this business.

00:09:29.283 --> 00:09:30.993
I seriously, bro.

00:09:30.993 --> 00:09:32.883
Like, I was like, what the hell happened?

00:09:32.883 --> 00:09:35.942
Where did 25 years ago, where did the time go?

00:09:36.722 --> 00:09:42.283
And this is why I'm so adamant now about accounting for my time.

00:09:42.933 --> 00:09:47.673
And this is where my core six actually keeps me on task.

00:09:48.484 --> 00:09:49.774
And it's super simple, man.

00:09:50.313 --> 00:09:51.573
I wake up at a set time.

00:09:52.354 --> 00:09:52.683
Okay.

00:09:53.134 --> 00:09:55.354
Did you wake up when you said that you would wake up?

00:09:55.443 --> 00:10:02.703
Look, you can go back to bed later, like get up win the day, then go back to sleep, get you another 30 minutes here and there.

00:10:02.703 --> 00:10:03.274
I do that.

00:10:03.274 --> 00:10:04.563
I got 15 minutes here.

00:10:04.563 --> 00:10:09.071
I get 30 minutes there, read for 15 minutes from a random book every day.

00:10:09.071 --> 00:10:10.181
Man, I read from a random book.

00:10:10.931 --> 00:10:12.311
Write for at least 20 minutes.

00:10:12.311 --> 00:10:14.620
I say one page, write at least one page every day.

00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:16.541
That's how I, what I had to do to get started.

00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.191
And now it's about 20 minutes.

00:10:18.280 --> 00:10:22.061
And these are, you know, my takeaways from what I just read.

00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:23.561
These are feelings.

00:10:23.890 --> 00:10:24.941
These are my thoughts.

00:10:24.941 --> 00:10:30.100
This is the only time you're like secluded with yourself.

00:10:30.490 --> 00:10:38.921
Give yourself that time, man, work out or get a sweat going again, you don't have to be jacked and chiseled if that's not in your wheelhouse.

00:10:39.191 --> 00:10:41.561
But dude, I wanna be physically fit.

00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:46.091
I'm getting older and I'm not trying to be on a walker with tennis balls.

00:10:46.270 --> 00:10:48.191
I'm not trying to have the Joe Biden shuffle.

00:10:48.490 --> 00:10:48.880
Okay?

00:10:49.061 --> 00:10:54.730
I want to, I, I, I'm tall, I want to command a presence when I walk.

00:10:55.091 --> 00:10:58.240
I don't want to look all beat up and shuffle.

00:10:58.750 --> 00:11:04.453
That's why I work out, man, share something of value every day.

00:11:04.573 --> 00:11:06.524
Everybody's a badass at something, man.

00:11:06.884 --> 00:11:08.984
The best person to help is the person you once were.

00:11:09.433 --> 00:11:13.994
So share something of value, whether it be you could get on social media and do that.

00:11:14.323 --> 00:11:16.183
I do it on my Instagram stories.

00:11:16.423 --> 00:11:24.614
I do it in Substack post, but also man, if, if you just wanna make a tweet or X whatever it's called.

00:11:24.614 --> 00:11:26.803
Now, if you wanna post something on LinkedIn.

00:11:27.884 --> 00:11:33.043
If you wanna paint something, you wanna express it through poetry if, if you just wanna talk to one person today.

00:11:33.464 --> 00:11:37.994
Not on offline, dude, I'm completely fine with that.

00:11:37.994 --> 00:11:43.303
This is, this is your thing, but share something of value and then design to align.

00:11:43.303 --> 00:11:44.683
Man, design your day.

00:11:44.864 --> 00:11:45.884
I know what I'm gonna eat.

00:11:46.004 --> 00:11:46.964
I'm gonna eat today.

00:11:47.234 --> 00:11:48.403
I know what I'm gonna wear.

00:11:48.464 --> 00:11:51.494
I gotta, I, I can't be naked, but I wanna look good naked.

00:11:52.999 --> 00:11:55.573
And then I don't let the day get away from me.

00:11:55.573 --> 00:11:56.053
I know.

00:11:56.203 --> 00:12:00.464
Uh, there are task, these are blocks that hit along the way.

00:12:01.139 --> 00:12:04.859
And bro, all of that that I just told you takes about two hours.

00:12:05.548 --> 00:12:05.938
Really?

00:12:05.999 --> 00:12:08.369
And, and it's really cus customizable.

00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:14.009
Like if, if I only have like an hour to devote to this, Fridays are like really?

00:12:14.698 --> 00:12:15.778
Uh, tight for me.

00:12:16.168 --> 00:12:18.188
Then you can customize it.

00:12:18.188 --> 00:12:20.708
That's what's good about how I coach it.

00:12:20.708 --> 00:12:22.149
It's, it, it lives with you.

00:12:22.149 --> 00:12:27.639
It's, it's e evolving and it's evergreen and it evolves with you.

00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.578
Same thing that the OYP Journal does too.

00:12:30.818 --> 00:12:35.438
You know, I, I've used journals for many, many years and none of 'em quite got me.

00:12:35.769 --> 00:12:38.078
And with this one, it's very fluid.

00:12:38.078 --> 00:12:39.668
It, it grows along with you.

00:12:40.222 --> 00:12:45.222
And my coaching clients, they get a copy of this and, it's just remarkable what it does for you.

00:12:45.883 --> 00:12:53.515
So all this, like I said, takes about two hours and there are days, it's not like I'm just blow pops, rainbows and unicorns.

00:12:53.515 --> 00:12:59.456
There are days, man, when, you know, I don't have the patience or I have the low energy.

00:13:00.265 --> 00:13:02.696
All I gotta do, I don't have to negotiate with myself.

00:13:02.816 --> 00:13:03.265
I just.

00:13:03.610 --> 00:13:04.421
Win the decision.

00:13:04.421 --> 00:13:06.221
I check the list, go to the next thing.

00:13:07.030 --> 00:13:15.880
And a lot of times, man, what'll happen is even when I have those low energy days, or it just looks like, like, what the hell is all this for?

00:13:16.390 --> 00:13:20.441
By the time I get through that list, I've won the day before, before noon.

00:13:20.740 --> 00:13:21.041
Okay.

00:13:21.041 --> 00:13:23.441
I've won the day really before I even get to work.

00:13:23.650 --> 00:13:24.821
My whole day is one.

00:13:25.331 --> 00:13:29.500
And so really, my, my mindset, my emotions actually.

00:13:30.214 --> 00:13:32.764
Get back in line and I've already won.

00:13:32.764 --> 00:13:36.033
It doesn't matter how hellish the day goes, doesn't matter how bad the day goes.

00:13:36.484 --> 00:13:37.264
I took care of me.

00:13:37.898 --> 00:13:38.648
That's the biggest thing.

00:13:38.947 --> 00:13:43.832
The third way Napoleon Hill uses self discipline.

00:13:44.888 --> 00:13:46.628
It helps him stick to a major purpose.

00:13:47.197 --> 00:13:48.727
Do you realize, I didn't realize this.

00:13:48.908 --> 00:13:52.868
Do you realize it, it, it was like it took hill over 20 years.

00:13:53.842 --> 00:14:01.852
Without compensation to develop the science of success, bro, would you commit to anything for 20 years?

00:14:01.852 --> 00:14:04.163
Like there's no compensation in this?

00:14:04.163 --> 00:14:04.673
Go ahead.

00:14:05.352 --> 00:14:15.253
But it obviously panned out well, and I guarantee you, if you devote your life to 20 years of anything and you're not worried about what am I getting for this in the next six months?

00:14:15.342 --> 00:14:15.732
No.

00:14:15.732 --> 00:14:18.673
If you just say, this is my major purpose in life.

00:14:19.288 --> 00:14:23.337
Andrew Carnegie said, look, if you do this, uh, there's gonna be no compensation.

00:14:23.337 --> 00:14:24.087
I'll help you.

00:14:24.692 --> 00:14:29.008
I'll, I'll give you, I'll give you the tools, but you gotta figure all this out.

00:14:29.097 --> 00:14:32.727
You gotta perfect it, and you're on your own with this.

00:14:32.908 --> 00:14:33.807
You want it or not?

00:14:34.168 --> 00:14:36.388
And he said, yeah, obviously it panned out for him.

00:14:36.888 --> 00:14:39.748
Now, you may not know your major purpose in life.

00:14:40.138 --> 00:14:40.857
That's okay.

00:14:41.217 --> 00:14:41.998
I didn't either.

00:14:42.803 --> 00:14:44.693
Sometimes you just gotta stumble into it.

00:14:44.933 --> 00:14:45.533
I did.

00:14:45.923 --> 00:14:55.854
But if you want a place to look, your major purpose in life is probably through your pain, your pain, your, your platform.

00:14:56.514 --> 00:14:57.264
It really is.

00:14:57.653 --> 00:15:02.423
And until you analyze that and stare at it, a lot of us don't wanna look at that.

00:15:02.634 --> 00:15:03.259
I had no choice.

00:15:04.028 --> 00:15:04.418
Okay.

00:15:04.658 --> 00:15:05.798
I was at rock bottom.

00:15:06.038 --> 00:15:08.349
I was demoted, I was bankrupt.

00:15:08.619 --> 00:15:17.173
I was alone, and I was supposed to be well-established in my forties, and here I was completely having to start over, and I'm so grateful for it.

00:15:17.232 --> 00:15:18.613
It literally saved my life.

00:15:18.613 --> 00:15:21.403
This was like God's last warning shot to me.

00:15:21.462 --> 00:15:23.202
I mean, I, I felt it in my spirit.

00:15:23.202 --> 00:15:27.403
He is like, I'm gonna give you one more shot, but after this, man, you're outta here.

00:15:28.273 --> 00:15:29.863
And I'm so grateful for it.

00:15:30.013 --> 00:15:31.393
I'm so grateful to him for it.

00:15:31.572 --> 00:15:39.462
And so I've used that Core six to develop my major purpose in life.

00:15:40.025 --> 00:15:43.505
This is how I de discovered the core six I. Nobody taught me this.

00:15:43.505 --> 00:15:46.025
I just did a little bit every day.

00:15:46.025 --> 00:15:50.346
I just thought about it a little bit more and did the things that.

00:15:50.946 --> 00:15:53.855
Seemed to be working and I just did more of those things.

00:15:54.515 --> 00:15:56.645
I mean, imagine like starting over in your forties.

00:15:56.645 --> 00:16:02.408
Like I could have very easily just sit there and cried and complained and be like, what my life is, no.

00:16:02.558 --> 00:16:05.019
Or run it, just run to the next thing.

00:16:05.019 --> 00:16:07.899
No, and it was a painful thing, man.

00:16:07.899 --> 00:16:11.582
But it was, it was, um, it's become my platform.

00:16:12.332 --> 00:16:17.072
And so that is my purpose, my major purpose in life.

00:16:17.643 --> 00:16:18.633
It's to help.

00:16:19.503 --> 00:16:24.783
Successful men who feel stuck get unstuck.

00:16:26.163 --> 00:16:27.873
That's, that's my major purpose in life.

00:16:28.562 --> 00:16:31.352
You know, not guys that just don't want nothing in life.

00:16:31.352 --> 00:16:32.942
I, I can't do nothing for you in that.

00:16:33.332 --> 00:16:33.722
Okay.

00:16:33.842 --> 00:16:45.363
I'm talking about successful men who just like, really feel stuck in life, whether they're taking stock at their ages and they're like, you know, whether I've stalled out or I've blown everything up.

00:16:45.903 --> 00:16:46.322
Okay.

00:16:46.773 --> 00:16:51.123
You could start over and you're not starting completely over from scratch.

00:16:51.482 --> 00:16:52.952
You're starting with experience.

00:16:53.013 --> 00:16:59.192
I had to leverage that and so the podcast became my medium to help me.

00:16:59.192 --> 00:17:00.663
It was my therapy session.

00:17:00.722 --> 00:17:10.232
It was my way that I kept, stayed accountable and I loved to communicate and so I just, I said, this is, lemme just start here.

00:17:10.232 --> 00:17:11.307
I didn't know where this thing was gonna lead.

00:17:12.248 --> 00:17:14.857
I didn't know we were gonna be the top 3% podcast in the world.

00:17:15.067 --> 00:17:17.827
I don't even have a, you know, it's, it's nice and I do talk about that.

00:17:17.833 --> 00:17:22.268
I, I have a desire to be the top 1%, but it's not to be the top 1%.

00:17:22.538 --> 00:17:26.048
It means that I'm able to get out there to more people.

00:17:26.048 --> 00:17:33.518
It is scaled to a level that more are listening to it and getting unstuck in their lives.

00:17:33.637 --> 00:17:37.837
That's the only reason why I say I wanna be up there at the top.

00:17:38.077 --> 00:17:38.738
It's not.

00:17:39.653 --> 00:17:45.022
Out of like, oh, so I can get a Lambo, I'll roll in a Honda.

00:17:45.833 --> 00:17:49.613
My daughter's got a 2013 Honda and I told her I laugh all the time.

00:17:49.942 --> 00:17:54.383
I'm like, I'm a you get me a free, uh, you get a scholarship for college.

00:17:55.432 --> 00:17:56.452
'cause she has straight A's.

00:17:56.843 --> 00:17:57.863
I'm gonna get you a free car.

00:17:57.863 --> 00:17:58.823
Same thing my dad told me.

00:17:59.827 --> 00:18:00.998
So I'm gonna get you a free car.

00:18:00.998 --> 00:18:03.188
And I said, and I'm gonna take your car, bro.

00:18:03.188 --> 00:18:06.548
I'll roll around that 2013 Honda like a champ.

00:18:06.548 --> 00:18:10.347
I'm six three and I'm gonna cram myself up in there anyway.

00:18:10.708 --> 00:18:22.228
So, you know, the biggest thing, man, wherever it is that you are in life, that you know, you, you may have like blown things up or you may have stalled out.

00:18:22.893 --> 00:18:24.298
You, you just need alignment.

00:18:24.972 --> 00:18:33.913
When you get that alignment, you're gonna get the energy, you're gonna get the ownership, and it's going to, it's gonna keep you on a system.

00:18:34.863 --> 00:18:44.576
And then the last one, how, uh, Napoleon Hill uses self-discipline as a power tool works through a lack of patience.

00:18:45.326 --> 00:18:45.746
He admitted.

00:18:45.806 --> 00:18:48.506
He's like, I have zero patience, and I get that.

00:18:48.625 --> 00:18:54.506
I have too many, many times, many, many times I've been on the mic before, just frustrated as hell.

00:18:54.895 --> 00:18:58.615
I'm like, I'm just banging episode after episode.

00:18:58.615 --> 00:19:00.476
It's like nothing's happening in my life.

00:19:02.096 --> 00:19:05.395
It was just because it doesn't seem like it's happening.

00:19:05.395 --> 00:19:06.385
Things are happening.

00:19:06.596 --> 00:19:08.090
They're just happening in the spirit room.

00:19:08.830 --> 00:19:19.931
But see, you have to understand there's a timing to your time in, first, you gotta put in the reps.

00:19:15.161 --> 00:19:22.510
You don't control the timing, but you do control putting the time in.

00:19:22.901 --> 00:19:28.300
So even on the days, man, when I wanna quit, I just go back to the checklist.

00:19:29.008 --> 00:19:29.698
That's all I do.

00:19:30.290 --> 00:19:31.520
And that's what Hill said.

00:19:31.520 --> 00:19:36.050
And he's like, don't think for one minute in the 20 years that I'm developing it.

00:19:36.050 --> 00:19:37.131
Don't think for one minute.

00:19:37.506 --> 00:19:38.976
That I just didn't wanna quit.

00:19:38.976 --> 00:19:40.415
There's no compensation for this.

00:19:40.536 --> 00:19:42.185
There's no guarantees for this.

00:19:42.546 --> 00:19:44.105
It seems like it's not working.

00:19:44.105 --> 00:19:46.086
I guarantee you he wanted to.

00:19:46.086 --> 00:19:52.506
He's like, I just, I just reminded myself on what my major purpose in life was.

00:19:53.105 --> 00:19:53.465
Okay.

00:19:53.526 --> 00:19:54.336
That's what he did.

00:19:54.836 --> 00:20:00.326
And so on those days, man, where it's just like, I get reminded that.

00:20:00.986 --> 00:20:05.395
This is a way that keeps me from stalling out again in life.

00:20:05.786 --> 00:20:11.066
This is how I take on adversity and uncertainty and beat back complacency.

00:20:11.846 --> 00:20:24.596
And so when I do these things, I'm reminded of my major purpose in life and my energy shifts when I get done with this checklist, and so I stay aligned and I just stay progressing.

00:20:25.796 --> 00:20:33.143
So let me ask you a couple of questions for you, because I believe this should be a working podcast, not a feel good podcast.

00:20:33.143 --> 00:20:44.843
If you want to go deeper into this, I do have a select few of coaching clients that we can go deeper into this, but if this is good enough for you, you can do it on your own.

00:20:44.873 --> 00:20:48.442
Cool, and I'll send you the core six at no charge.

00:20:48.442 --> 00:20:53.212
I have a screensaver on my phone for those of you looking at the video.

00:20:53.712 --> 00:20:57.042
Uh, it's not really showing 'cause there's too much light in here.

00:20:57.042 --> 00:20:59.863
But anyway, uh, I'll put it on my Instagram stories.

00:21:01.633 --> 00:21:04.242
Um, but, you know, I'll, I'll send it to you.

00:21:04.357 --> 00:21:09.762
I, I have it, I have it on the screensaver as a reminder, but also I have it on just a, a daily checklist.

00:21:10.242 --> 00:21:12.373
So let me, let me ask you this.

00:21:13.336 --> 00:21:17.063
If you're struggling right now with self-discipline, just.

00:21:17.512 --> 00:21:18.563
Just wonder about this.

00:21:18.563 --> 00:21:21.623
Just write these down and maybe an, an answer.

00:21:21.623 --> 00:21:26.452
These get started, like, wake up at a set time and this'll be your one page.

00:21:27.593 --> 00:21:30.969
Uh, writings are you reinforcing.

00:21:31.358 --> 00:21:31.929
Think about this.

00:21:31.929 --> 00:21:34.239
Are you reinforcing your self imposed limitations?

00:21:35.469 --> 00:21:37.538
Are you leaking your time and your energy?

00:21:38.244 --> 00:21:39.683
Like, where did the time go?

00:21:39.834 --> 00:21:43.433
It's 'cause you, you, you don't have, you don't have a process.

00:21:43.584 --> 00:21:46.734
And again, life's not easy, but you can make it simple.

00:21:47.663 --> 00:21:51.534
Um, do you know your purpose, your major purpose in life?

00:21:52.314 --> 00:21:55.044
If you need a place to look, look at your pain.

00:21:55.820 --> 00:21:56.901
Stop running for your pain.

00:21:56.901 --> 00:21:57.980
Actually go into it.

00:21:58.221 --> 00:21:59.961
This is why confrontation's so key.

00:22:00.560 --> 00:22:04.641
So if you go into your pain, then you'll realize.

00:22:05.433 --> 00:22:07.054
That could be your platform.

00:22:07.554 --> 00:22:10.284
And do you have a lack of patience?

00:22:11.153 --> 00:22:16.314
Could be like, you know, we all want it fast and easy, right?

00:22:17.064 --> 00:22:19.673
But there's a faith component to this.

00:22:20.663 --> 00:22:25.193
You know, if it was easy and evident, there'd be no, no need for faith, right?

00:22:26.513 --> 00:22:29.304
It's not supposed to be easy, it's not gonna be evident.

00:22:29.903 --> 00:22:30.308
You have to earn it.

00:22:31.298 --> 00:22:31.628
Okay.

00:22:32.019 --> 00:22:38.288
And so there's a, there's a faith component to that, and with that you gotta develop the patience.

00:22:38.469 --> 00:22:45.729
But I think what's interesting is, hill didn't say this, but I, I think this, I think he was able to become more patient.

00:22:45.788 --> 00:22:58.929
I know I've become more patient when all I do is I take my mind off of the timeframe and I just focus on the task at hand the day and however it shakes out.

00:22:59.769 --> 00:23:00.608
I've already won.

00:23:00.638 --> 00:23:05.739
Remember, I've already won, and so I can carry those lessons forward the next day.

00:23:05.739 --> 00:23:07.628
If it's a bad day, okay, analyze that.

00:23:08.288 --> 00:23:09.338
What can I do to fix it?

00:23:09.638 --> 00:23:13.419
But see, you always put yourself first, and that's what's important on the core six.

00:23:13.419 --> 00:23:14.709
It's putting yourself first.

00:23:14.828 --> 00:23:17.019
It's a mechanism of putting yourself first.

00:23:17.078 --> 00:23:22.628
And if you put yourself first, then the world gets the best representation of you.

00:23:23.138 --> 00:23:25.239
Ain't nobody, your family don't want sloppy leftovers.

00:23:25.239 --> 00:23:27.038
Your relationships don't want sloppy leftovers.

00:23:27.278 --> 00:23:28.509
Your people at your job.

00:23:28.989 --> 00:23:30.909
Don't want an old piece of you.

00:23:31.419 --> 00:23:31.868
Okay.

00:23:31.868 --> 00:23:35.888
You know, and you're just all, and the piece they get is just angry and frustrated.

00:23:36.009 --> 00:23:36.909
People don't want that.

00:23:37.538 --> 00:23:40.239
I mean, bro, lemme tell you something, I'm living proof.

00:23:40.269 --> 00:23:45.848
I'm 52 years old, and my flesh tells me all the time I'm running out of time.

00:23:46.609 --> 00:23:49.878
I have plenty of time, but I just don't have a second to lose.

00:23:50.239 --> 00:23:50.659
All right?

00:23:51.078 --> 00:23:51.798
Neither do you.

00:23:52.589 --> 00:23:54.539
Self-discipline is super simple.

00:23:55.030 --> 00:23:59.411
Keep your mind fixed on what you do want, and forget what you don't want.

00:24:00.671 --> 00:24:01.060
All right.

00:24:01.451 --> 00:24:02.681
Thanks for sharing this episode.

00:24:02.891 --> 00:24:04.780
Who needs this episode?

00:24:04.931 --> 00:24:06.641
Please help share the show.

00:24:06.820 --> 00:24:10.361
We are worldwide, but we need more people to get this.

00:24:10.361 --> 00:24:14.111
The only way I could do it is look, you don't have to leave a rating and review.

00:24:14.111 --> 00:24:17.711
If you would, that'd be great, but if you would just do one thing.

00:24:18.131 --> 00:24:31.090
Share this, whether it be on your socials, whether you send it in an email to somebody or a text message, yes, people still use email or text me, forward this to somebody else and say, man, check this out.

00:24:31.421 --> 00:24:33.461
Again, I'm just a messenger.

00:24:33.641 --> 00:24:34.691
It's not about me.

00:24:34.871 --> 00:24:36.010
I'm just the messenger.

00:24:36.010 --> 00:24:43.240
I'm just living the message and I wanna share it with you, and I hope in turn that you'll pay it forward and share it with somebody else.

00:24:43.361 --> 00:24:43.721
All right?

00:24:43.721 --> 00:24:44.800
With that, keep it simple.

00:24:44.800 --> 00:24:45.461
Keep it moving.

00:24:45.461 --> 00:24:46.060
Never settle.

00:24:46.060 --> 00:24:46.691
Stay tough.

00:24:46.931 --> 00:24:47.020
Peace.
