Learn To Decide
The word decide means to ‘kill off’. This has been my word of the year. For some reason, the word decide means to ‘kill off’. What are you killing off? It could be fear. A good salesperson helps a person kill off fear, right? You’re helping them leave fear behind and decide to buy. Look, I tell people, I’m gonna help you do one thing today, and that is make a decision. We are going todecide what you want. We’re gonna kill something off today. It could be fear, insecurity, doubt, vacillation, rejection, or whatever. your scarcity to think you can’t reproduce this money again right we’re gonna kill something off today. Man, that’s what a good coach does constantly. A good coach helps people kill all the unnecessary things. So, I made a decision that when I was a leader, this is where my influence starts, I’m going to teach every one of my players the seven habits of highly effective people, right? So, when your daughter comes to play for me, imagine your 14-year-old daughter playing for me and she’s learning the seven habits of highly effective people. They are going to learn some amazing skills at a young age and how to function as a team. The principles of good to great and the five dysfunctions of a team. Every team in America is dysfunctional, yes or no? When you put imperfect people into a group unit, they bring their imperfection and their assumption bias and prejudgment to the team, which means you have conflict, okay?
Find The Conflict
I’ll show you where all conflict comes from on teams today, okay? So, I made a decision I’m gonna teach every player seven habits of highly effective people principles of good to great five dysfunctions of teams five disciplines of a learning organization. Now, how many high school coaches do you think were out there doing that? Okay now, and I said part of my role here as the leader is I’m gonna help my players find their voice in life. Now, this is very important. If I help Sam find his true voice in life, and really figure out what he is the best in the world at and what he is naturally talented at and I believe that talent’s God-given and show him there’s a need in the world he can fulfill which meets his monetary needs and at the intersection of his conscience. Meaning, this is what I’m supposed to do in life. If I can help, truly help him do that, how will he feel about me for the rest of his life? Do you think it would be hard when I asked Sam to do something for me? See, this is how you build a strong team. It is part of finding your voice.
Help Others
Now, I asked a buddy of mine, and I said, how did you build a team so deep so fast? And he said, I helped every person find their talent and I showed them how to make money with that talent. Once you do that for a person he said, they have loyalty back to you forever. See? You have got to help others. He said I help each team member find their talent, their true talent. I’m going to call that your voice today, right? Then I show them specifically how to make money to meet their economic needs with that talent. He said that’s something that Tony Robbins did for him. It was Tony Robbins that said to Ed Malette, Ed you have a great speaking voice. You need to speak for a living. And Milette said really? See, that is what Robbins that spoke this word into him. This is what you need to do. If I help Sam do that and if I help each of my team members do that, which is going to take a lot of time on your part as a leader this ain’t a quick fix this ain’t like a five-minute conversation you have this is where you do stuff like this if I help Sam have this big revelation about his talent forever, Sam will go- “That dude played a huge part in my life. That dude was one of the most influential people in my life so when you think about this concept of understanding the whole person body mind heart and spirit this is very important for you to find your voice. Because, to find your voice you need to be clicking on all four parts of your nature.
Go Pro
Now, I could go back in my life and show you different times that I made different decisions, I decided to kill something off and I went pro in each part of my nature. Now, when you saw me at door-to-door, I was probably 30 to 35 pounds heavier at door-to-door than I am today. I was in Mexico. I was 191 lbs. After the event, they wanted me to come outside and be out by the pool. I said man, I just don’t feel good about my body. Like, I’m pro in my mind, I’m pro in my heart, I’m pro in my spirit, like I made different decisions, and I’m like man, I got to go pro with my body, because to do what I do every day, you need enormous amounts of energy, right? So, I go to the number one energy doctor in the world, which is in Houston, Texas and he customizes my vitamin regimen to my body. The vitamins I take every day are customized to my any deficiency. I personally have because as you age, your body begins to naturally decline and it quits producing things that you need to be successful. Testosterone, thyroid, cortisol, these are all things that your body needs to go do big things in the world and you can’t do them if you’re tired all the time. That makes sense. Without these, you’re gonna get tired as you get older. Now, you go to your normal doctor and your normal doctor is gonna say, hey you’re just getting old man. That’s what happens when you get old. What he ain’t telling you is that you can supplement these deficiencies to get the freakish levels, okay? Now, here’s what I’m telling you. This is very important to the equation today, because to me this is a big part of the equation in the body physically, right? Nutrition, exercise, sleep, because you want to do big things, you got to go pro.
Rest
Now, if you make a decision to treat yourself like an athlete, athletes rest. They practice and they play. By nature, I am a worker. Like, I will work seven straight days 14-18 hours a day and not even think twice about it, okay? But, for me to be at my peak like an artist or entertainer or athlete I need to rest. I need to practice. I need to play. Everybody with me? You would never see an artist sing 365 nights a year. Artists rest, they practice, and write songs and then they play. When they play, how hard do they play? Hard. because you’re paying big money to see them play. You realize that? You’re actually paying to watch them work.
Be A Specialist
So, go pro in the body, then you go pro in the mind, and you guys are doing that knowledge-specific knowledge. You to think of a person of interest. They don’t have generic knowledge. They are specialists, okay? They’re the number one person at something. When I start looking at it like a story is the number one guy at comebacks. Everybody has their own specialty. That makes sense. It’s like, that dude’s a specialist, boom. Right? There in that area, so knowledge.
Confidence
The next is confidence. Do you know the number one thing that shocked me when I retired from athletic coaching and started coaching business people? I thought confidence was so unique to kids. Like, kids struggle with confidence. That makes sense, but let me tell you who really struggles with confidence. Adults. Adults struggle with confidence, right? Confidence is the memory of success, okay? I wrote a whole book on this. My book is called Swag. Confidence is the memory of success so, if you are insecure, you are remembering failure. How do we become confident? By consistent systematic ongoing repetition. That’s right, repetition baby. Repetition. That’s how you become successful.
