Mel Robbins – This 5 Second Rule Will change your life [MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH]


notice I said simple I didn’t say easy
and the reason why it’s not easy is
because you have to deal with you and
now we know that you’re a control freak
and you’re stubborn and you got all
these excuses you’re a real pain and I’m
gonna teach you though the very very
simple way to get what you want there’s
only one rule when it comes to
productivity there’s only one rule when
it comes to success
there’s only run rules to getting
everything you’ve ever wanted and here
it is you’re never gonna feel like it
ever in any area of your life that you
don’t have what you want whether it’s
the amount of money the amount of people
on your team the amount of sales the
amount of trips for your family the reef
you only did the things that you don’t
feel like doing you’d have everything
you’ve ever wanted those areas where
you’re happy you do the work those areas
where you’re complaining you don’t feel
like it
you don’t do it so it’s a lot like kids
if you think about it what’s your job as
a parent it’s to make kids do the things
they don’t feel like doing so they can
grow up and move out and become
independent adults my son never feels
like getting off the Dia’s he never
feels like putting his feet down when
he’s caught in the car my daughter never
feels like cleaning up the Barbies I
have no idea why they’re always naked by
and the funny thing is when you grew up
and moved out your parents never said to
you guess what you are a total pain in
the rear end you never feel like doing
anything you don’t feel like doing your
homework you don’t feel like going out
you don’t feel like making your bed you
don’t feel like saying hello to
strangers you don’t feel like using your
manners you don’t feel like cleaning
your room good luck to you so the only
way to get what you want is to parent
yourself but I’m gonna make it easy for
you we’re about to move you’ve learned a
ton about the brain now the brain is
going to screw you over the brain is
going to go into autopilot the brain is
going to tell you it doesn’t feel like
doing things it’s trickery you now know
that so how do you be effective with
yourself knowing that you’re never gonna
feel like doing all the work that it
takes to have this business be
everything that it possibly could so
you’re going to use the five-second rule
from the moment that you have the idea I
should email out the Fall collection I
should go through the contact list for
my college or university and reach out
to people I should go through my contact
lists and invite 23 people this week to
just take the dogs for a walk I should
make a request of a friend and ask if I
can come to a presentation at lunch at
his law firm from the second you have
that idea you’ve only got five seconds
to take action otherwise it’s gone your
brain will swoop in so fast uh-oh
there’s an idea whoa no way
no wait you don’t feel like it you’re
overwhelmed you’re by the way where
you’ve got five seconds and that’s it
today I want you to practice this
because what you’re going to notice is
you’re gonna notice a little bit later
like in the networking section and you
know afterwards and in some of these
events after this particular speech
you’re gonna notice that you have an
impulse you have an impulse to walk
towards somebody that’s really
successful that’s built a team that
could possibly help you and guess what
you’re not going to do it you’ve
probably had them the entire time that
you’ve been here oh I should go over and
talk to this person I’ll catch them
later
oh that person looks really interesting
I don’t know I should really take some
photos of this fall line and start to
eat that might be too pushy so what do
you do how does it work you have the
thought you’ve got five seconds that’s
it and what do you need to do just say
something out loud that’s one way you
could start walking the second you feel
like you should meet somebody because
you’re drawn to them again it’s from
here it’s not from here
start walking because if you’re already
walking the likelihood is you’ll
actually make it to them and then you’re
gonna say something write it down
schedule it send an email to yourself or
make the request one of the things that
was so interesting about talking to Tara
this morning is it was clear that a
couple people have been in there sharing
their brains out about Jay Hilbert and
yet it never progressed into the side of
the conversation of would you like
information would you like to do it
and I’m sure whoever it was that was
lying on the table probably had that
thought like you know why should I
should I say something should I getting
facials is it weird to be talking about
business at the same time
five seconds gone talk to yourself out of it
