I’m about to change your life because
this piece of research changed by
procrastination has nothing to do with
work
[Music]
procrastination is a form of stress
relief
[Music]
what are you stressed about
the research on procrastination is
undeniable it’s black and white number
one all of you that procrastinate
procrastination is not the issue with
stress you’re procrastinating to give
yourself a little break at work it’s
sort of like taking a smoking break
almost you know you’re just taking a
break so number one because you’re all
stressed out and procrastinators are
very hard on yourselves this is gonna
sound super stupid but you gotta forgive
yourself you have got to actually have a
talk with yourself
where were you feeling yourself starting
procrastinate you go look you know I
really screwed up I know I’m in a mess
financially I forgive myself I’m just
gonna do the best that I can so that
self-awareness of knowing oh my god
here’s that stress again about finances
screwing me over and preventing me from
doing the small things that will
actually fix my finances second thing
that you’re gonna do procrastination to
have it right you get triggered by
stress the habit is to procrastinate so
when you get triggered by stress your
new habit is oh there’s my stress again
I’m gonna actually tell myself okay
you’ve done the best you can it’s okay
we’re gonna do a little bit today you’re
gonna create what we call starting
ritual starting ritual is something that
pushes you to start the best one on the
planet at five seconds so you’ve said
okay there’s my stress again I forget
myself now we’re gonna five four three
two one I want you to only work for five
minutes that’s it five minutes make
phone calls
five minutes here’s what we know based
on the research eighty percent of you
will keep going
the trick is starting you see I want to
break the connection between the trigger
which is stress and the response which
is procrastination and whenever you feel
stressed which is normal you have a
choice
here’s that gap in five seconds flat the
habit of procrastinating and beating
yourself up with a go or you can close
the gap five four three two one and you
can make a different choice I’m just
gonna get started I’m just gonna be okay
with where I’m at and I’m just gonna get
started got it
get started getting started is
absolutely the key to life all in you
have to be all in him is the hardest
thing to do because if it fails then you
can feel like a failure do the things
that will help you to someday be the
person that you want to become the
little things in life matter if you
can’t do the little things right you’ll
never be able to do the big things right
remember no matter what it is you’re
doing in life no matter what it is
you’re working towards that you are
choosing to do that who you are right
now today is not who you have to be
tomorrow
you can literally change your life in
under one second success is a result of
small seemingly insignificant moments
two moments choices people that are
knowledgeable about habits say that it
takes 30 days for a habit to become a
habit now habits can be good and habits
can be bad and so over a period of time
you need to be developing habits they’re
going to help you can be developing
habits that are going to hurt you people
that grow develop habits that help them
habits are the expressions of who we are
and how we live and they determine all
your results so this is ultimately what
we want to change is changing your
habits
you don’t stop or not start because of
what you don’t have you don’t start
because you don’t realize yet that the
fruit of everything good in life begins
with the challenge success is earned one
day at a time every day you lift your
head up off the pillow you’re gonna
decide whether that day you are a
success or whether you are a failure
what you want to be tomorrow you’ve got
to do today
I just did a podcast on habits right how
to be able to adopt new habits and also
delete and get rid of you know break bad
habits right and so a lot of people
always wanted to make it usually make a
change on behavior they want to get
themselves a workout they want to get
them as a meditate they want to get
themselves to read more each day and
they want to give themselves to X right
or they want to stop some behavior they
want to stop smoking they want to stop
eating this food they want to stop I
always tell people stop checking your
phone the first hour of the day I love
and I and I just that’s like sacred time
for me you know because I for me that’s
for I think that if you want to be an
elite mental performer or you know real
life superhero you don’t want to start
off by checking the phone we talked
about this in the past of it because
you’re training yourself to be reactive
right you’re getting your dopamine or
you’re frying your nervous system with
all these like shares comments and
everything else like that that you’ve
said if I’m not mistaken you sell your
sovereignty weed if you start by
checking your phone I love that so much
because you’re reacting and firefighting
to everyone’s like well I’ve been seeing
everyone one wants so you’re not really
setting you’re not living you know that
it’s you’ve heard this many times right
if you want to you in the first hour of
the day to win the rest you know the
money wouldn’t room in the day right and
so anything you want to stop so I say
you want to stop checking your phone
right in the morning then there’s
certain like that’s a behavior right but
there’s so many other elements to be
able to change because some most
behaviors don’t stick right and so like
what I’m thinking about when I want to
transform or transcend or make a real
positive change I’m looking at all the
other areas of ourselves so I’m looking
at for example our environment our
people setting up their environment to
win and no social change doesn’t just
happen at this level of behavior but
what you have to change the environment
so for example if you want to stop
eating a certain food it helps to be
able to have not that not have that food
in your home right so you change the
environment if you want to read more it
helps to help set up your environment
where you have the books readily
available where you’re gonna read it
because they perform you know how I how
I approach to habit changes this area of
motivation and this trigger right you
want to trigger it to help remind you to
do the behavior right so are you setting
up the environment in a way that
triggers the behavior that you want
that’s why you know people like Mark
Zuckerberg or Tony Shea they were the
same t-shirts and and sweatshirts all
the time because they don’t want to
spend
use up one of their decisions thinking
aw what am I gonna wear today
I don’t want someone’s watching this
they have a thing that something they
want to change and it’s not it’s not
sticking then maybe it’s not it’s the
environment maybe you could check about
your habits but maybe it’s your beliefs
in your values some people will not get
themselves to read every day because
they don’t value meaning every single
day right some people won’t work let’s
say the behavior they want change is you
know we did a podcast on how to remember
names I could teach them step-by-step on
how to remember the name of most people
that they meet yet they won’t do it
because they don’t value it or because
that’s not important to them or they
don’t believe that they can write just
like we talked about earlier saying your
brain is like a supercomputer and you
know your self-talk as a programmer run
so you tell yourself not go to memory
names you will not ever be named the
next person you meet because you program
your super duper you’re not to they
don’t have a belief that enables that
when I say all behaviors believe driven
if you want to do this behavior whatever
it is journal whatever it is and you
need a belief that allows that to happen
because that’s the program that allows
so how do you get that belief because
you’re gonna feel like you’re faking it
all right that’s where most people stop
right they they think okay I get it I
hear what you’re saying that if I am
able to shift my belief then I can get a
different behavior but I don’t believe
it so now I’m just sort of faking it how
do you help people overcome right and so
you mean so some people approach it by
thinking of its quote where they fake it
till they make it right um so my thing
with belief is like when I do trainings
and groups or are online my favourite
way of changing a belief is getting them
to do something they never thought they
could do because it opens up another
possibility right so so for example in
1954 Roger Bannister he broke the form
in a mile right and so which is amazing
right throughout human history nobody
can run a mile in less than four minutes
now if you if you look into it how he
was able to do it is he would visualize
himself crossing the finish line looking
at the clock and it says 359 because he
knew that success is an inside out
process that first it had to happen in
here in order happening out there right
um dr. Wayne Dyer has the famous phrase
where it’s not oh I’ll believe it when I
see it
it’s like I’ll see it when I believe it
because it’s the opposite right and so I
always like modeling the outliers where
most people kind of just like kind of
dismissed them I was like well what’s
what’s going on there that loves this
person to get this kind of result right
and so with Roger Bannister he saw it in
here be able to produce it outside just
like any innovator or and mentor right
or any creator right but what was
interesting is after that would happen
nobody could do it from the beginning of
humanity all of a sudden one person does
it what happens after that everybody
yeah everyone starts doing it and so
that’s the thing now what happened was
our big change that year and you know
training methodology and nutrition or
know who was a change of belief right
because the belief back then was if you
ran a mile less than four minutes not
only would you die it was your heart
would explode in your chest and like
think about like that would and I’m a
runner right that would keep me not just
running that wouldn’t keep me from
running form it that would give me from
running period right right and so my
thing is like that was a change of a
reference I was just they shook up a
belief so my goal with people and when
it comes to learnings get themselves to
do something they never thought they
could do and then it opens up another
possibility it literally opens up their
their nervous system for something what
else could be possible now I would also
say that it all plays together where
it’s not easy to say just to change a
belief overnight now that could be a
belief because it’s like a meta belief
about what beliefs are but people
there’s there’s technologies like
inception right like a dream of a dream
your dream but I do believe that we have
more we have more power to influence our
thoughts and our beliefs so my goal is
to streamline my mind
put the routines the first hour day and
the last hour today I really micromanage
it’s at a point where it’s habitual I
don’t have to think about it and then
because those are the times a day where
I can really have the most impact
because later on it all day you know
team members need this there’s
firefighting this client needs that but
the first hour the last hour I really
want to control so all this really
helped develop grit and resilience you
know in my body so I could have the
ability to persevere and I so I a stand
guard to my brain all the time but goes
in and I don’t watch like a lot of the
negative news and all the a market I
really focus like you know I I watch and
I listen to your show and maybe a
handful of little of things I read each
day because I need to keep it positive
I want hope and I’m looking for help I’m
looking for inspiration and also
instruction alright listen and listen
well because no truer words are ever
gonna be spoken you can do
anything you want without limitation
whatever it is that you decide you want
to make come true in your life you can
do that it is gonna take an inhuman
amount of work you’re gonna have to be
prepared to break yourself in half you
are going to have to learn more than
anyone has ever learned you can have to
push yourself harder than anyone has
ever asked you to push yourself before
you’re gonna go way beyond your breaking
point you’re gonna run until you vomit
you’re gonna study until you fall asleep
you’re going to push and push and push
and then you’re gonna push some
more and when you hit the limit you’re
gonna push again beyond that you’re
gonna force yourself into an adaptation
response and why because it’s Malcolm X
said the future belongs to those who
prepare for it today so if you don’t put
the work in today if you don’t do the
unending back-breaking work of
developing yourself into something
greater the world is gonna pass you by
the people that are going to own it are
going to be the ones that did
that work and the one promise that I can
make you right now is that somebody
somebody out there is out working
somebody right now is doing the things
that I’m saying somebody right now is
doing the work of failing and getting up
and getting better and pushing
themselves and triggering that glorious
adaptation response that makes humans
the apex predator someone right now
they’re putting in that work and if you
don’t the future is gonna belong to them
and as Martin Luther King jr. said you
can’t fly than one if you can’t run then
walk if you can’t walk then crawl but
whatever you do you have to keep moving
forward it’s not okay to make excuses
it’s not gonna slow people down it’s not
okay to ask the world to stop so that
you can step out front it’s not okay to
expect little of yourself and demand
great rewards the only thing that’s okay
is to be in line with the way that the
world really works and if you want to be
great you’ve got to become capable of
greatness you’ve got to develop your
skill set you’ve got to take what you
have now and if that’s crawling then
crawl but you drag yourself ever
forward to a vision of yourself that is
so clear and so specific that nothing
could knock you off your path because
you my friends know exactly where you’re
going you’re willing to pay whatever
price it takes to get there and no
matter what anybody says no matter how
many hecklers come feet no
matter how many people try to flow dirt
on you try to stop you try to knock you
down no matter how many people
come for you at night while you sleep
you will rise and you will keep pushing
forward and you will get better every
day and no matter how many times people
chop at you knock you down knock you up
the path we will get back on you will
crawl so you can walk you will walk till
you run and then you will run until you
fly and that my friends is the only path
forward so if you want a future
that makes you happy if you want to warm
that you’re excited about get your ass
out there and earn it
