Well, hello there, my friend welcome aboard to the daily podcast.
Speaker:I'm pleased you're here.
Speaker:I'm so grateful that you're listening.
Speaker:I genuinely am.
Speaker:It is a huge privilege that it has taken me quite a few years
Speaker:to figure out exactly what I'm supposed to be doing on the planet.
Speaker:And it's, and this is part of it.
Speaker:This is the thing that gets me up in the morning that I am dedicated
Speaker:to three words, liberating.
Speaker:People's potential.
Speaker:And guess what?
Speaker:You're a people, you are a people, you're a person.
Speaker:And I'm glad that you're listening and I want to do something today
Speaker:to help liberate that incredible potential that's inside you.
Speaker:There are so many things.
Speaker:From, you know, from the youngest ages that can really crush us, that
Speaker:can really flatten our spirits and, uh, and, and hurt us and wound us.
Speaker:And I genuinely see the world in terms of light and dark, good and evil.
Speaker:And, uh, I believe that there is a force that is trying to advance us.
Speaker:And I believe that force is God.
Speaker:And I believe that for sponsors to grow and contribute and bless.
Speaker:And, and find joy and meaning and purpose.
Speaker:And I believe there's another force that really wants us to stay
Speaker:in fear, lack scarcity, doubt.
Speaker:Self-criticism self-judgment.
Speaker:It wants us to go backwards and that is not what we are going to do.
Speaker:We're going to go forward.
Speaker:We're going to find that potential it's within you.
Speaker:And we're going to unleash it a little bit day by day and today.
Speaker:What I want to give you is a kind of, I don't know, a map.
Speaker:Is it a map?
Speaker:Is it a schematic?
Speaker:I want to give you a sort of foundation.
Speaker:Of what success really requires in life.
Speaker:And then success will be different for every single one of us.
Speaker:How you define success?
Speaker:What's meaningful to you will be different.
Speaker:That's one of the beauties about being human.
Speaker:We all have different focus, points and desires and things that light our fires.
Speaker:But I want to talk about an essential kind of, I guess, schematic.
Speaker:Uh, map for success that you can file away and think about and
Speaker:may help you to move forward.
Speaker:So there's really two parts to this.
Speaker:If you want to increase the amount of success in your life,
Speaker:whatever that is as a parent.
Speaker:As a, as a business owner.
Speaker:As an athlete, it doesn't really matter what you're doing in life.
Speaker:These two steps are going to be helpful.
Speaker:So, let me give you the first one.
Speaker:The first thing we want to find in life is an obsessive.
Speaker:Focus.
Speaker:You see for something to change in your life for something to
Speaker:improve, you obviously have to be paying attention to it.
Speaker:And it has to be meaningful to you.
Speaker:You know, I'm a, a.
Speaker:I'm a huge rugby fan.
Speaker:It's a game I grew up with.
Speaker:I love that game.
Speaker:And, uh, I may or may not watch quite a few games over the weekend in
Speaker:between doing thousand other things.
Speaker:But I think about these guys, we're coming up to a world cup this year and, uh,
Speaker:they, it amazes me just the athleticism and the skill of these different players.
Speaker:And how do they get that level of success will obviously there's
Speaker:a genetic component, right.
Speaker:They sort of have won some kind of genetic lottery.
Speaker:But there's obviously an obsessive focus, right?
Speaker:Step one.
Speaker:They have an obsessive focus.
Speaker:They want to.
Speaker:Their time, their thinking, their energy, their resources, their money,
Speaker:what they spend on is focused upon.
Speaker:This one particular thing, which in this season of their
Speaker:life is being an elite athlete.
Speaker:Now you could take it to something else.
Speaker:You could take it to a.
Speaker:I took him on one of my kids to see a specialist the other day.
Speaker:Uh, and Ian ENT specialist, ear, nose, and throat.
Speaker:And this guy was great.
Speaker:You know, he was really, really great guy and I liked him a lot.
Speaker:And there's about a bazillion.
Speaker:You know, plaques on his wall and degrees and you know, how
Speaker:does he get to be somebody?
Speaker:I mean, look, I'll be honest with you.
Speaker:He wasn't cheap.
Speaker:It was like, Ridiculously expensive.
Speaker:Uh, but we had to do it and.
Speaker:And I think how does, how does he get to that point where he's able
Speaker:to generate so much revenue and he's able to make a meaningful difference
Speaker:in people's lives in this area?
Speaker:Well, there's obviously been a season of his life and probably an ongoing
Speaker:season of what obsessive focus.
Speaker:There was any number of things that he could have focused on in his life.
Speaker:He could've focused on being a mechanic or an artist or a baker.
Speaker:But his obsessive focus was obviously from a pretty young age.
Speaker:Um, becoming a doctor and then making some choices about where to specialize.
Speaker:And, you know, do you see what I mean?
Speaker:That anybody that achieves.
Speaker:You know, success in a particular area, doesn't do it by accident.
Speaker:You know, DaVinci.
Speaker:Didn't become DaVinci.
Speaker:By accident, right?
Speaker:Or mother Teresa didn't become other trees by accident.
Speaker:There was at some point a decision to focus, energy and
Speaker:attention in a particular place.
Speaker:Look at somebody like Tom Brady, the American football player.
Speaker:Who I think now.
Speaker:I don't know how old he is now.
Speaker:Maybe he's 106.
Speaker:Some people will laugh at that.
Speaker:Like if you don't know, Tom Brady's like being played
Speaker:forever and still playing well.
Speaker:And, you know, he's probably seen as the greatest quarterback in American
Speaker:football history, American listeners, please in the comments, tell me I'm wrong.
Speaker:But again, how do you explain it?
Speaker:Well, there's a genetic lottery component, but there's also this obsessive focus.
Speaker:Let's talk about you.
Speaker:We could pick any examples and we have, we picked a few there already,
Speaker:but if you want something to really shift and change in your life,
Speaker:then the first big step is to get.
Speaker:An obsessive focus about it.
Speaker:And that obsessive focus has two important parts to it as well,
Speaker:which are clarity and commitment.
Speaker:You know what obsessive focus is means that you get clear on what it is.
Speaker:So when I'm teaching this live at conferences or events or seminars,
Speaker:I really help people to get big on this clarity part, because you've
Speaker:got to know what it looks like.
Speaker:Sounds like, feels like smells like how it impacts you.
Speaker:You know, it's not like, well, I I'd like, I'd like to earn more.
Speaker:It's not like, well, I'd like to, I'd like to have some more clients.
Speaker:That would be nice word.
Speaker:I'd like, I'd like to, I'd like to lose some weight.
Speaker:How much.
Speaker:Uh, some what some, you see what I mean?
Speaker:That this clarity piece really matters that people who.
Speaker:You know, who want to become astronauts or wind Superbowls or sail oceans
Speaker:or, you know, climb Mount Everest.
Speaker:There's a clarity per point, right?
Speaker:There's a moment of clarity.
Speaker:This is the thing.
Speaker:This is the thing that matters to me.
Speaker:And then once they have that clarity, it moves them to the
Speaker:next stage, which is commitment.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:It moves from being a wish to being something that requires their specific
Speaker:energy and depth and purpose and focus and the deployment of resources and time.
Speaker:So we get the focus.
Speaker:And that focus is linked to clarity.
Speaker:And then we moved to the commitment of energy and time.
Speaker:So again, let's keep coming back to you.
Speaker:What.
Speaker:Area in your life.
Speaker:Do you want more success in.
Speaker:And people can often say, oh, you know, it's fitness or it's health or it's money.
Speaker:Well, sure.
Speaker:But specifically what area look, let me share with you.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:So for me,
Speaker:Uh, somebody who speaks what.
Speaker:You know, what is my focus?
Speaker:It's three words, liberate people's potential.
Speaker:I've got this relentless focus.
Speaker:I was talking to a priest about it the other day.
Speaker:I catch up with once a once, every couple of weeks.
Speaker:I was just sort of scientists.
Speaker:That's what drives me, you know, on stage in these podcasts is there's
Speaker:the thing in me that I want to reach through the microphone and convince you.
Speaker:That there is this potential dormant in you, and it's just,
Speaker:I want to see it in the world.
Speaker:I want to see it come out and, and make a difference and make your life better
Speaker:or make other people's life better.
Speaker:Have this obsessive focus about it.
Speaker:And if you meet me somewhere in an airport, I live in
Speaker:late lounge or at an event.
Speaker:I'm going to be really interested in that part of you.
Speaker:Like if we start talking, you know, we'll talk a little bit about the
Speaker:weather maybe, but then it's going to be, Hey, so what are you doing?
Speaker:What brings you here?
Speaker:What are you into?
Speaker:What, uh, how's that going for you?
Speaker:So I've got this obsessive focus and I've got clarity around it, and
Speaker:then I commit energy and time to it.
Speaker:And so my focus is to get better and better at this reach, more and more people
Speaker:and to keep doing it every single day.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So that's the first part.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So obsessive focus.
Speaker:I want you to think about clarity and I want you to think about commitment.
Speaker:It's not enough to have a wish.
Speaker:You see, you can have a focus and it's, it's a wish it's like you can say, yeah,
Speaker:I really want to get fit and healthy.
Speaker:I really want to get.
Speaker:I'll be able to run a half marathon or a 10 K or lose.
Speaker:10 kilos or 20 pounds, whatever it is.
Speaker:But if you don't eventually have commitment, Have you done
Speaker:eventually deploy resources, time, energy, and learning.
Speaker:You have a wish.
Speaker:And we should, as a nice, when we make them at birthdays all the time, right?
Speaker:Every.
Speaker:But every year, but wishes are not going to change your life.
Speaker:Clarity and commitment will change your life.
Speaker:Specifically.
Speaker:The commitment part, you know, for me, the number of times.
Speaker:You know, the amount of exercise and training I do.
Speaker:Which I love, right.
Speaker:It's a real joy for me, but where I live, it's winter at the moment.
Speaker:And it's, you know, this week it's kinda minus six to minus eight, some mornings.
Speaker:And there are times when I genuinely stand in my garage.
Speaker:Trying to get dressed, to go cycling at 5:00 AM and it's minus six.
Speaker:And I'm like, There is a number of things I'd rather be doing right now.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And all of them involve some kind of heating device.
Speaker:But I'm have the commitment to it because I'm clear on what matters
Speaker:and what is significant for me.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:It's enough on that.
Speaker:So the first part's obsessive focus, the second part is simply massive action.
Speaker:Which links to the commitment part.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:So what commitment is like a movement of the heart and the
Speaker:spirit I'm going to commit to this.
Speaker:But then we must take action to break beyond, you know,
Speaker:it's like a rocket taking off, pushing it into the atmosphere.
Speaker:That what's required.
Speaker:The fuel of success is action.
Speaker:That we have to take action in the world.
Speaker:So that means doing things, doing stuff, trying stuff.
Speaker:And we want to get a link to that is what we call effective execution.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:Effective execution means that we want to start taking action.
Speaker:And then we get feedback from our action, which leads to the action being effective.
Speaker:So look, let's take a stupid example.
Speaker:Let's say you want to lose 10 kilos, 20 pounds and you
Speaker:decide to take massive action.
Speaker:And your massive action is to eat.
Speaker:Three pizzas a day.
Speaker:That would not be what we call effective execution.
Speaker:You've definitely taken action, but you've taken action in
Speaker:exactly the wrong direction.
Speaker:So, if you wanted to lose weight, then you might get a coach.
Speaker:I mean, one of the biggest things that helped me was getting a.
Speaker:I was doing a lot of, I was running an ultra marathon,
Speaker:so I got an endurance coach.
Speaker:A specialist in color, long distance training.
Speaker:And, you know, that was a, that was action, right?
Speaker:That was what was the action?
Speaker:Well, the action was.
Speaker:Well, let me, let me step you back.
Speaker:Let me take you through the actual process.
Speaker:The first thing was focused.
Speaker:I was like, you know, This was years ago, I was sitting on the couch and
Speaker:I was like, I was carrying too much white and I'd always been like fit
Speaker:and active and an earth and into, you know, serious training, but I
Speaker:wanted more, I want a better results.
Speaker:Some of first step was the focus I got focused on it.
Speaker:I got clarity around kind of what I wanted to, where I wanted to get to.
Speaker:And then I took action, which was step one, internet research, step two.
Speaker:I found a coach that I liked to look off.
Speaker:Step three.
Speaker:I reached out and contacted them.
Speaker:Step four.
Speaker:I committed the money and time and resources to paying them, to
Speaker:getting, understanding the program.
Speaker:And then doing the program and I got crazy results.
Speaker:Like I would like in, in the end I lost too much weight.
Speaker:'cause and I started getting cold all the time.
Speaker:I couldn't regulate my body temperature.
Speaker:I'm not telling you to do that.
Speaker:I'm just saying that, you know, I probably went too far.
Speaker:But.
Speaker:You see the, the, the, the key points here was clarity and then massive action.
Speaker:And the action.
Speaker:It was what we call effective execution was I looked at the results.
Speaker:How do you know if you've got effective execution while you get results?
Speaker:So if your goal is to lose weight and you're putting weight on, then
Speaker:even if you're taking massive action.
Speaker:Then you don't have effective execution because you're not
Speaker:moving in the direction you want.
Speaker:So that's the feedback loop for effective execution?
Speaker:Am I moving forward?
Speaker:Am I advancing towards this clarity, this purpose that I had delineated previously.
Speaker:Okay, so let's wrap this up.
Speaker:If you want.
Speaker:Some real success in your life.
Speaker:Then you just need to focus clearly on what it is.
Speaker:And this is why I journal a lot.
Speaker:Sometimes journaling just helps you to map it out.
Speaker:You get clarity, then you commit to it.
Speaker:Then you take action actions where the real magic is.
Speaker:It's funny.
Speaker:The number of times in life where I've just gone, right.
Speaker:Pull the trigger, get it done.
Speaker:Do this, do that, do that.
Speaker:And with action, you often won't know at the time often we get, you know,
Speaker:we think we should know exactly what we're supposed to do at all times.
Speaker:And we don't.
Speaker:We just don't.
Speaker:But we have to take the steps.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So that's my encouragement for you today.
Speaker:I want more success for you.
Speaker:I want your life to improve.
Speaker:I want it to be better.
Speaker:And you can apply this formula to anything.
Speaker:If you've got a difficult relationship in your family.
Speaker:So you haven't troubled one of your kids or in your marriage or
Speaker:something you want to fix a marriage.
Speaker:What do you do?
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:You know, I'm not offering marriage therapy, but I'm just saying.
Speaker:Unless it's something absolutely massive like betrayal or
Speaker:some crazy stuff like that.
Speaker:What do you do?
Speaker:If you want to prove a marriage?
Speaker:Well, you get focused, right?
Speaker:You get obsessive focus.
Speaker:You wake up one day and you go, this is ridiculous.
Speaker:This is not who we want it to be.
Speaker:This is not what we wanted for our relationship.
Speaker:You get focused on it.
Speaker:You get clarity say right, what kind of relationship do we want?
Speaker:What should it look like?
Speaker:I know it's not there right now, but what do we want for this relationship?
Speaker:Then you go right.
Speaker:This is what I want.
Speaker:It's going to heart be hard.
Speaker:It's going to be challenging and I'm going to commit to it.
Speaker:And then you take massive action.
Speaker:What sort of action, where you could read books, you could do online webinars.
Speaker:You could listen to podcasts.
Speaker:You could, you know, start seeing a counselor.
Speaker:You could do any number of things, but nothing happens until you
Speaker:focused, clear and committed.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Apply that lens to just about everything.
Speaker:And you're going to be just fine.
Speaker:Whew.
