WEBVTT

00:00:01.504 --> 00:00:04.251
Hello, Happy Monday and welcome back.

00:00:04.251 --> 00:00:07.786
In fact, let me rephrase that Happy Mental Health Monday.

00:00:07.786 --> 00:00:13.910
We're going deep on some big things and all things mental toughness, mental health, the HALT program.

00:00:13.910 --> 00:00:26.405
We're gonna talk about 75 hard today, All in an effort to help you master your sales, simplify your pricing and deliver premium level service, which is just service at the highest level, Highest level of what?

00:00:26.405 --> 00:00:28.687
Well, without reference to anything else.

00:00:28.687 --> 00:00:29.984
Your highest level.

00:00:29.984 --> 00:00:34.607
Would it be wrong of us to wanna do that for these nice electricians today, Joseph?

00:00:35.180 --> 00:00:36.185
No, it would not.

00:00:36.185 --> 00:00:46.262
In all honesty, I think working on mental health is one of those unspoken hurdles that people don't really touch on enough, and I think it's incredibly worthwhile topic to dive into.

00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:48.305
All right, very cool man.

00:00:48.305 --> 00:00:49.906
Well, I can't wait to go a little deeper.

00:00:49.906 --> 00:00:54.366
First, speaking of mental health, I never wanna start a week talking business.

00:00:54.366 --> 00:00:57.786
Can I just ask how was your weekend, brother?

00:00:57.786 --> 00:00:58.368
How'd it go?

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:00.646
Weekend weekend was an interesting thing.

00:01:00.646 --> 00:01:08.265
Obviously, we were still fighting whenever illness we had, on Friday when last we talked, so we had a house full of yuck.

00:01:08.265 --> 00:01:15.846
But the fun times was that, regardless of being sick, we were incredibly productive.

00:01:15.846 --> 00:01:25.048
I don't know about you, but I love when Friday ends and Monday begins and I can look at it back and be like what did I do with that time?

00:01:25.048 --> 00:01:30.146
We literally made action moves that I know are gonna create impact in the future.

00:01:31.579 --> 00:01:33.183
Well, I love that man Big time.

00:01:33.859 --> 00:01:34.423
What are you doing?

00:01:35.501 --> 00:01:39.748
And well, yeah, ultimately, what did I do to shift gears there?

00:01:39.748 --> 00:01:50.007
We inherited a dog some of you seen in my content little rescue Great Dane Hank, who's pretty anxious, timid fellow but getting along fine with our pit bull.

00:01:50.007 --> 00:01:52.808
I know there's many naysayers of the pit bulls.

00:01:52.808 --> 00:01:53.561
I get it.

00:01:53.561 --> 00:02:01.490
The breed has a tendency to have prey drive and gets very excitable, so they are advanced dog ownership for sure.

00:02:01.490 --> 00:02:11.929
But I've been back into retraining and got Jade, our pit bull, very much behaving extremely well and it went about 10 times better than I imagined.

00:02:11.929 --> 00:02:14.288
Man, at this point, these two are friends.

00:02:14.288 --> 00:02:20.067
You've been sleeping next to each other, doing a little cuddling last night, so that's going well.

00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:25.709
What threw me was you said I have a little, and then you also added the word Great Dane into the situation.

00:02:25.709 --> 00:02:29.266
I mean, didn't you tell me that Hank is like five foot ahead at this point?

00:02:29.699 --> 00:02:30.924
There's nothing, a little about that dog.

00:02:30.924 --> 00:02:32.782
Yeah, yeah, we have.

00:02:32.782 --> 00:02:35.424
We still got the old school wall going up to the kitchen.

00:02:35.424 --> 00:02:39.010
There's a pencil lines for everyone's height in the family.

00:02:39.010 --> 00:02:44.586
When we do family dinners we update it, and Hank is officially taller than some of the young kids in this family.

00:02:44.586 --> 00:02:46.942
For sure I love that, yeah, man.

00:02:46.942 --> 00:02:49.567
Anyways, mental health.

00:02:49.567 --> 00:02:52.627
I have a little fun fact for you, timmy.

00:02:52.627 --> 00:02:58.006
Did you know that I actually sit on the board of directors of a nonprofit about mental health?

00:02:59.370 --> 00:03:05.709
No, I think it's also mental health, Absolutely, man, and I can't wait to go deeper on that.

00:03:05.709 --> 00:03:10.408
Even this week we'll talk more about it and what that effort is meant to do.

00:03:10.408 --> 00:03:15.328
But I'm actually I've got a real soft spot for helping troubled youth.

00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:26.068
And I think with the gap in what we need in industry for health and recruitment and the gap in what the youth need in your community.

00:03:26.068 --> 00:03:39.206
I think there's a huge tie here that's really been underutilized, underleveraged, that could serve both sides, and so I'll be an advocate of that until the day this mission ends, which, as you know, we can't see that at this point.

00:03:39.889 --> 00:03:52.082
Yeah, I love that and, as always, I'm gonna support you every step of the way, because I think mental health is obviously something that is very near and dear to me as well, for different reasons, so I'm glad that we can face this challenge shoulder to shoulder.

00:03:52.699 --> 00:03:53.985
We get to smash it out this week.

00:03:53.985 --> 00:04:00.090
I wanna share with you something that our coaches actually said that I found very interesting.

00:04:00.090 --> 00:04:05.324
As they're hiring their client success team and their salespeople.

00:04:05.324 --> 00:04:16.007
One of the things they're interviewing and asking that they're looking for is someone who's done personal counseling slash therapy in the past.

00:04:16.007 --> 00:04:17.764
Why do you think that is Joe?

00:04:18.586 --> 00:04:25.762
Oh my God, I honestly, if you told me that every one of our employees went to therapy, I would feel like we had a better team.

00:04:25.762 --> 00:04:45.495
I really would, because the kind of person that invests in therapy that's not compulsory, like a jail sentence or something like that Show is that they at least have the incentive to say I could be better, or at least recognizes I have a problem and I'm taking steps to overcome it.

00:04:45.495 --> 00:04:51.593
That kind of framework of a person is always the one that's going to overcome a challenge if presented with it.

00:04:52.500 --> 00:04:53.081
Absolutely.

00:04:53.081 --> 00:04:59.975
Let me call a quick pause and just engage with our viewers those live with us in the Electric Piner Secrets Facebook group right now.

00:04:59.975 --> 00:05:04.127
If you had a great weekend, please let us know how was your weekend and be.

00:05:04.127 --> 00:05:09.182
If you have a relationship with mental health and have sought some counseling, even you know what?

00:05:09.182 --> 00:05:12.968
In my experience, I'm back with my counselor right now.

00:05:13.288 --> 00:05:27.995
Every about biweekly I meet up and what I find is my counselor is really good at just listening, so it gives me a space it's like having an etched in calendar space where I'm just going to work on myself and my mental health.

00:05:27.995 --> 00:05:34.632
It doesn't have to be, and it isn't often like tears and talking about the past and all that mean.

00:05:34.632 --> 00:05:52.052
Sometimes it goes there, sure, but a lot of times it's just a place to really empty out all the mix up that happens and builds up over the weeks, sorted out and just get another perspective, and I often leave their feeling much better, and I just wanted to throw that plug in.

00:05:52.052 --> 00:06:01.918
So if you guys are with us, if you've experienced this before, go ahead and throw a shameless hand up, because I actually applaud you guys for working on yourself right.

00:06:01.918 --> 00:06:06.769
That big mirrors, a heavy one to hold now without further ado.

00:06:06.769 --> 00:06:07.228
What do you say?

00:06:07.228 --> 00:06:09.793
We tie this into the 75 hard topic.

00:06:09.793 --> 00:06:10.721
I'm ready.

00:06:10.721 --> 00:06:11.586
Sounds like a great topic.

00:06:11.586 --> 00:06:16.190
This is kind of new to you, joe right, have you heard of the 75 hard before?

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:27.615
So I've heard about it in passing, but it was never really something that was covered in detail and I intentionally did not look it up because I wanted to make sure that when we're talking about it still coming in fresh.

00:06:28.139 --> 00:06:29.281
Nice, I like that.

00:06:29.281 --> 00:06:42.516
Well, let me give you an intro to the guy that created it, because I really think that his reasoning for developing this challenge is really strong, and it's something that I would aspire for us to do for electricians someday.

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:54.512
Okay so 75 hard had a few rules built into it, okay, and the six rules are simple, and then I'll explain why they're there, the way they are and how.

00:06:54.512 --> 00:06:58.502
It's kind of missed, misconceived by a lot.

00:06:58.502 --> 00:07:01.427
Okay, so there was, let me.

00:07:01.427 --> 00:07:03.369
Let me actually pull it up to make sure I get this right.

00:07:03.369 --> 00:07:09.795
So if you skip today, you have to start over at 75 day challenge about your mental and physical health.

00:07:09.795 --> 00:07:10.521
Okay.

00:07:10.521 --> 00:07:15.771
So the next one is yet to pick a diet to follow with no alcohol or cheat meals.

00:07:16.353 --> 00:07:20.124
Okay, the no cheat meal thing is really rigorous and difficult.

00:07:20.124 --> 00:07:24.971
Again, if you had a cheat meal, say, even for a moment, you relapsed on a marshmallow.

00:07:24.971 --> 00:07:26.153
You're back to day one.

00:07:26.153 --> 00:07:27.694
That's hard, right.

00:07:27.694 --> 00:07:30.802
Then you're supposed to drink a gallon of water a day.

00:07:30.802 --> 00:07:39.250
That can be really tough because a lot of people are really kicking up the coffee and less water, right.

00:07:39.250 --> 00:07:41.291
That can be really really challenging.

00:07:41.992 --> 00:07:45.896
Complete two daily workouts, one of which has to be outside.

00:07:45.896 --> 00:07:54.814
Where people mix this one up a bit is this doesn't have to be a rigorous weightlifting thing, but it's got to be something that gets your heart rate up.

00:07:54.814 --> 00:08:00.889
We can all agree that two times a day, even for half hour, 45 minutes each.

00:08:00.889 --> 00:08:03.694
Would be good for you to get that done, wouldn't it?

00:08:03.694 --> 00:08:07.004
I would agree with that, yeah, but we're all busy, right?

00:08:07.103 --> 00:08:16.600
So, on top of that, reading 10 pages of a nonfiction book and then taking a progress photo every day, mandy's in here with us.

00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:30.526
She's actually mid challenge, and, mandy, you didn't fire us to bring this up because you mentioned it a couple weeks ago, and I've tried it before, joe, and, as someone with a bit of neurodivergence happening, I did not make it.

00:08:30.526 --> 00:08:32.864
I didn't make it two weeks.

00:08:32.864 --> 00:08:38.024
The stuff that I failed on, though, was taking a photo.

00:08:38.024 --> 00:08:43.243
Really, yes, it's just not easy.

00:08:43.243 --> 00:09:00.854
When we're building a business, when we're out there working, when you're trying to improve your sales, when you're trying to serve at the highest level, it's not easy to follow through and be consistent, and that's one of the biggest reasons I wanted to bring this topic in, because it's actually not about that photo.

00:09:00.854 --> 00:09:04.006
It's really not about physical progress.

00:09:04.006 --> 00:09:10.229
It's about mental progress and Retaking control of your life.

00:09:11.299 --> 00:09:13.226
It's usually more like an accountability challenge.

00:09:13.226 --> 00:09:26.249
Yeah, no, I'm like when I hear about that sounds more like an accountability where the picture is just a snapshot saying I've initialed On my signature, I've initialed on this day.

00:09:26.249 --> 00:09:29.184
That's more what I would see the picture as listed and granted.

00:09:29.184 --> 00:09:32.831
I haven't had any real exposure to the program, but at first glance that's.

00:09:32.831 --> 00:09:33.393
That's what I hear.

00:09:35.142 --> 00:09:50.418
What it really spells out to me is the difficulty of making a list of essentially five things plus the one that's like a start over, and following that list day in and day out, and when I first said it you were like this sounds pretty easy.

00:09:51.543 --> 00:09:58.270
Yes, I was going to say I did say that and I can explain why, because I'm sure there's some people who are like, what are you talking about?

00:09:58.270 --> 00:10:07.671
So one of the reasons why I'm called or nicknamed, sales bot is, as someone on the autism spectrum, rules are my thing.

00:10:07.671 --> 00:10:15.312
I love rules, I love KPIs, I love lists, like that's just that's the land that my brain lives.

00:10:15.312 --> 00:10:23.714
Yeah, and part of what makes me so successful is I have once I've talked about two boards and almost like religious dedication to do things on that list.

00:10:23.714 --> 00:10:51.350
So for me, when you're saying like, okay, we have to do these things, but there's no framework of the thing, like there's no specificity of what the workout is or what the diet is or what the outside activity is, I'm thinking to myself like, okay, theoretically I could craft it to be what I could do in a day, put it on the board and say this is the first thing that you do every day before the girls get up and that's just it.

00:10:51.993 --> 00:11:00.595
Yeah, and just for those of you listening, watching with us right now, joe's like the best at this, best partner in the world, because what's on your list gets done.

00:11:00.595 --> 00:11:07.212
I've seen it time and time again Whereas I don't have to worry about you, you got to worry about me getting my list done.

00:11:07.212 --> 00:11:08.450
My list grows, man.

00:11:08.450 --> 00:11:09.690
It's not shrinking, right.

00:11:09.690 --> 00:11:12.974
So last week I did tag three big things off it.

00:11:12.974 --> 00:11:16.793
But that's what I love about this is the flexibility.

00:11:16.793 --> 00:11:20.034
It doesn't mean it's easy necessarily for most people.

00:11:20.034 --> 00:11:27.652
In fact, reportedly about 100,000 people have completed this challenge, 100,000 plus right Somewhere in the vicinity.

00:11:27.652 --> 00:11:29.730
I would bet that it's a 1%.

00:11:29.730 --> 00:11:33.913
For a while this was viral on social media.

00:11:33.913 --> 00:11:35.269
I get that.

00:11:35.269 --> 00:11:36.292
It's been a bit, guys.

00:11:36.292 --> 00:11:43.128
We're sharing it again because it's still relevant in the context of having control over your life.

00:11:43.128 --> 00:11:49.148
So let me bridge it across, not the old card game, but let me bridge this across to our world, if I can.

00:11:49.668 --> 00:11:50.451
Go for it, I'm here.

00:11:51.884 --> 00:12:06.573
We've talked about the Eisenhower matrix a few times, the important, urgent quadrants right and the four quadrants, the four combinations of important and urgent, important, not urgent, urgent, not important and not urgent and not important.

00:12:06.573 --> 00:12:08.570
We know where we want to be.

00:12:08.570 --> 00:12:17.456
We know that we'd be most effective in our lives and in our business if everything is planned and executed according to the plan.

00:12:17.456 --> 00:12:20.394
But that's not really what happens day in and day out, is it?

00:12:21.004 --> 00:12:23.667
No, not normally For most of us.

00:12:23.667 --> 00:12:36.113
For those list-oriented individuals, not following sounds like torture, but for the average person we're not usually built like that, so I can understand why this could be such a challenge to some people.

00:12:37.144 --> 00:12:42.797
So imagine we're still out there running our respective companies in the field.

00:12:42.797 --> 00:12:46.754
What are some of the things that might take us off of our list today?

00:12:46.754 --> 00:12:49.092
Ooh, I can help with this.

00:12:49.092 --> 00:12:53.909
I think in class even I'll bring one up Someone Mandy was with us.

00:12:53.909 --> 00:12:58.467
She received a call because one of the client's kids vomited while they were on the way to the service call.

00:12:58.467 --> 00:13:07.054
That's just one little reactive piece that you could sit here and say we have no control over that, but it influences the rest of our day.

00:13:07.054 --> 00:13:09.032
Go ahead and jump in with your own examples, joe.

00:13:09.504 --> 00:13:13.014
So I remember the things that would throw me was when I was in my van.

00:13:13.014 --> 00:13:20.513
I was less healthy because I'm very good at staying on schedule, but when the schedule changes now there's a gap.

00:13:20.513 --> 00:13:26.408
There wasn't usually something that I unless I intentionally said this is what I'm using as a gap filler for today.

00:13:26.408 --> 00:13:35.313
I would be subject to remember the HALT exercise yes, which we're going to touch on a little bit where I would say, okay, well, what do I do now?

00:13:35.313 --> 00:13:36.275
Well, I'm kind of hungry.

00:13:36.275 --> 00:13:38.705
All right, let's just go and get something to eat.

00:13:38.705 --> 00:13:47.758
And then I'd go eat something, and then I'd end up doing my work orders or my option sheets in the parking lot of some fast food restaurant, and that would be what I'm doing for the time frame.

00:13:47.758 --> 00:13:54.650
So, yeah, I was working but I was eating, so it wasn't the same thing, or be like I'm gonna have a cigarette, I'll be fine, you know like no, so I can't.

00:13:54.671 --> 00:14:03.857
I can see back then the changes to routine without the contingency plan for change being something that would throw people Totally.

00:14:04.370 --> 00:14:14.578
And you mentioned HALT and I do think it fits now, so HALT being, I think, the acronym of basically, the relapsed tendencies from like AA 12 step programs.

00:14:14.578 --> 00:14:15.942
Right, Go ahead, touch on it, yeah.

00:14:17.373 --> 00:14:22.916
So I heard about the HALT program and it really spoke profoundly to me because it really resonated.

00:14:22.916 --> 00:14:28.864
It was when you're hungry, angry, lonely or tired.

00:14:28.864 --> 00:14:30.936
That's when relapse happens.

00:14:30.936 --> 00:14:37.278
And relapse doesn't mean you're just shooting up or do you mean anything that you're doing.

00:14:37.278 --> 00:14:42.472
Anything you're trying to avoid becomes harder to avoid when you're hungry.

00:14:42.472 --> 00:14:44.355
I know for a fact that I'm that way.

00:14:44.355 --> 00:14:52.735
Like you, were trying to not eat bad food and then you're hungry because you know food took a long time to make or you forgot to order the right thing.

00:14:52.735 --> 00:14:55.015
Now you're like, oh I can have a snack.

00:14:55.015 --> 00:14:58.739
Or hungry, angry you're angry at something.

00:14:58.739 --> 00:15:00.594
I mean that happens.

00:15:00.995 --> 00:15:01.235
Go ahead.

00:15:01.235 --> 00:15:08.714
If I can insert maybe you guys have said this before in your relationships with your partners hangry Anyone ever said hangry, I'm hangry right now.

00:15:08.714 --> 00:15:12.639
Right, we're checking two boxes here just to support that.

00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:15.054
Or the lonely like.

00:15:15.054 --> 00:15:16.679
You're not getting that attention.

00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:27.259
One of the ironic things about humans is that we're kind of like cats in this day and age and I think the pandemic influenced this too Like we like to be hurt and then go hide.

00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:34.099
We were clues and we actually create the lonely problem and the depression sets in and it really takes hold.

00:15:34.099 --> 00:15:36.455
And then, of course, the tired.

00:15:36.455 --> 00:15:38.015
Well, are we getting enough sleep?

00:15:38.015 --> 00:15:42.398
Not to hijack you, joe, but a little complimentary teamwork on that.

00:15:42.398 --> 00:15:50.221
That halt influences your schedule too, and dare I say, it becomes an egoic battle.

00:15:50.221 --> 00:15:58.600
I believe a lot of what that halt is is where you're saying fuck it, you know what I'll start again tomorrow.

00:15:59.020 --> 00:16:02.077
Fuck it, whatever that means today, fuck it.

00:16:02.077 --> 00:16:11.634
I'm back to relying on autopilot, where my ego is taking over and it's gonna protect itself in whatever we're about to face.

00:16:11.634 --> 00:16:13.953
Have you ever felt like that before?

00:16:15.129 --> 00:16:17.116
Too often, dude, too often.

00:16:17.116 --> 00:16:23.851
It takes a lot of mental exercise and mental fortitude and mental equity to be able to have the reserves to face that.

00:16:23.851 --> 00:16:25.798
Because anger?

00:16:25.798 --> 00:16:32.034
For me, anger is like a drug it's the more you get exposed to it, the easier it is to call on.

00:16:32.034 --> 00:16:43.155
The further you distance yourself from it, the less hold it has over you, and I've spent many years removing or trying to remove my sources of anger 100%.

00:16:43.429 --> 00:16:47.717
Let's relate this further to what we do and what you do specifically as the sales bot.

00:16:47.717 --> 00:17:00.513
I heard a sales coach team lead say recently the worst thing that could happen here is you see instant success Thinking to a new hire right as a team developer.

00:17:00.513 --> 00:17:08.578
The worst thing that could happen here is you see instant success because of the ego center that's driven from that.

00:17:08.578 --> 00:17:26.277
You're far better to see repeated small successes from the process that you're learning and putting efforts in, and I think that relates directly to what we're talking about here today with 75 Hard and how we can develop that challenge even for electricians specifically.

00:17:26.970 --> 00:18:04.769
Yeah now, I would agree with that and you know what the reason why I feel like that's such an important statement is I feel like I've learned more from my failures than I have from my successes, and I think that the failures have actually taught me more and shaped me more as a person, because the person who shows up to bat and bats a thousand right out the gate, they're never going to need to see the room to improve, whereas I was a guy showing up and I couldn't hit a ball for the life of me and I knew that I needed to, so I needed to find that afforded to, to dig in, and that's now what I get to share with other people, sharing from a place of resilience, sharing from a place of easy street.

00:18:05.369 --> 00:18:10.525
Yeah, I'm going to tie a couple of concepts together here to really drive this home the best I possibly can.

00:18:10.525 --> 00:18:15.388
Sure, reportedly, 100,000 plus.

00:18:15.388 --> 00:18:19.570
Let's drop the plus and focus on the 100,000 nice whole number to work with.

00:18:19.570 --> 00:18:20.765
You know I'm a numbers guy.

00:18:20.765 --> 00:18:24.489
Reportedly, 100,000 have completed this challenge.

00:18:24.489 --> 00:18:32.172
89% of those reported feeling more in control and more confident than ever before.

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:35.625
Okay, let's back up a sec.

00:18:35.625 --> 00:18:55.589
Feeling more in control and more confident than ever before after following a diet for 75 days, after drinking water for 75 days after, after completing two small daily workouts 75 days and reading 10 pages so 750 pages of books and taking a photo of themselves.

00:18:55.589 --> 00:19:03.912
You realize that all those things are related to just working on yourself and doing so consistently, right, mm?

00:19:03.912 --> 00:19:06.403
Hmm, so where you focus is where you grow.

00:19:06.403 --> 00:19:19.190
And actually Rainer, a client success coach, reposted an Alex Hormozzi little screenshot of something he said the other day and Hormozzi someone else I'd love to talk about in full one day.

00:19:19.190 --> 00:19:24.805
But he said look, you can have everything you want in life, you just can't have it today.

00:19:24.805 --> 00:19:26.803
So put in your reps.

00:19:26.803 --> 00:19:35.704
That's exactly the mental fortitude, the mental toughness and the mental health challenge that is present here, isn't it?

00:19:36.346 --> 00:19:36.527
Mm, hmm.

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:38.924
Delayed gratification.

00:19:38.924 --> 00:19:45.442
What would happen if you and your team were trained for delayed gratification instead of immediate?

00:19:46.859 --> 00:19:56.491
I really think that that would produce some of the best technicians the industry has ever seen, because the biggest problem is that people will go in and say I need to learn a sales trick.

00:19:56.491 --> 00:20:01.711
Like the word is sales trick and not sales process.

00:20:01.711 --> 00:20:05.910
I want to learn a trick that will help me sell more.

00:20:05.910 --> 00:20:07.286
You're looking just for a time hack.

00:20:07.286 --> 00:20:08.979
You don't want to change who you are.

00:20:08.979 --> 00:20:11.768
You just want someone to add a new tool to your Batman belt.

00:20:11.768 --> 00:20:23.945
Instead, we're trying to teach you a process that lets you be a better person and at the end of the process, you're that kind of person that can go the distance, compared to me just handing you a special trick.

00:20:24.820 --> 00:20:25.944
Joe, this is massive.

00:20:25.944 --> 00:20:30.507
Once again, I'm going to unveil the secret to success.

00:20:30.507 --> 00:20:32.491
What is success?

00:20:32.491 --> 00:20:34.948
Well, whatever your goal, set out what do you want to be?

00:20:34.948 --> 00:20:36.297
What do you want your business to be?

00:20:36.297 --> 00:20:38.305
What do you want your sales to be?

00:20:38.305 --> 00:20:44.522
This is how you get there Consistent activity.

00:20:46.307 --> 00:20:47.009
It's the secret.

00:20:47.009 --> 00:20:48.464
The strategies aren't the secret.

00:20:48.464 --> 00:20:49.584
We're giving them all away.

00:20:49.584 --> 00:20:52.866
The strategies are no longer the excuse.

00:20:52.866 --> 00:20:57.208
Consistent activity is the secret to success.

00:20:57.208 --> 00:20:59.721
The plan works.

00:20:59.721 --> 00:21:10.403
If you work the plan, joe, and you'll feel better after you've done it and you'll look around you and realize you're alone and leading that Honestly.

00:21:10.403 --> 00:21:12.209
It's like 1% to 5%.

00:21:12.209 --> 00:21:14.025
You ever heard this concept?

00:21:14.025 --> 00:21:19.550
95% of the population controls 95% of the money.

00:21:19.550 --> 00:21:21.548
That makes sense.

00:21:21.548 --> 00:21:28.269
Consistent activity, and as you grow with that, your opportunity grows too.

00:21:28.269 --> 00:21:31.066
The same is with premium service.

00:21:32.381 --> 00:21:43.571
I wholeheartedly accept the challenge to draw that map up all week long for these people, to help you guys succeed at whatever you're facing, to help you reach that next level.

00:21:43.571 --> 00:21:46.343
Robert with us, ben with us.

00:21:46.343 --> 00:21:48.828
Rob says hey, that sounds like Jim Rohn content.

00:21:48.828 --> 00:21:50.673
Great stuff, absolutely, brother.

00:21:50.673 --> 00:21:55.165
Jim Rohn the late and great, couldn't speak enough good things about him.

00:21:55.165 --> 00:22:00.865
But really, guys, consider this and I'll give you proof.

00:22:00.865 --> 00:22:07.251
I'll give you what you can already see about our own 75 Heart Challenge.

00:22:07.251 --> 00:22:10.039
In fact, we're on challenge 182.

00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:12.327
In fact, that might be the wrong episode number.

00:22:12.327 --> 00:22:14.445
Every once in a while I get this wrong.

00:22:14.445 --> 00:22:29.955
We've done so many episodes by showing up every day of the work week with you guys to be in the trenches leading the change that we want to see in this industry To help you master sales, simplify pricing and deliver premium level service.

00:22:29.955 --> 00:22:34.048
We've showed up 182, maybe 83 times now.

00:22:34.048 --> 00:22:36.645
That was hard, joe.

00:22:36.645 --> 00:22:39.547
That was hard.

00:22:39.547 --> 00:22:40.221
It's not easy.

00:22:40.221 --> 00:22:44.346
We've literally had others reach out and ask how we do it.

00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:53.564
You know, the thing is, that comes to mind is when people ask how we always look at them and be like this is our mission, this is our calling.

00:22:53.564 --> 00:22:56.708
It's different to just clock in every day.

00:22:56.708 --> 00:23:02.422
Right, if you're doing this because it's a job and you're just like punch slam, okay, this is what I'm doing.

00:23:02.422 --> 00:23:12.824
Literally, I wake up and I feel a sense of gratitude, a gratitude for this mission that we're on, because we're able to give something that we didn't have when we needed it.

00:23:12.824 --> 00:23:16.247
For me, it speaks close to the heart.

00:23:16.247 --> 00:23:25.346
It's not a job, this is our calling and I'm so grateful to serve that calling 100%, man.

00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:28.468
We should wrap this up with a couple action items.

00:23:28.468 --> 00:23:35.787
We get to spend this all week long and help you folks achieve your best outcomes, your success, whatever that looks like for you.

00:23:35.787 --> 00:23:42.530
Honestly, man, we've been showing up at least 182 times with a couple action items each time.

00:23:43.393 --> 00:23:43.673
I'm down.

00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:58.634
If, if you were listening to this I mean consider this your beginning of your challenge as the primary action item I'll go out and say it Come to us every day and then take one of the actions every day.

00:23:58.634 --> 00:24:01.212
If you did that, wouldn't you improve, joe?

00:24:02.067 --> 00:24:03.666
I do believe so Really.

00:24:03.666 --> 00:24:14.872
If you were to take even something the size of a Lego and you simply put one on top of the other every single day, you would have a skyscraper by the end of the year.

00:24:14.872 --> 00:24:18.733
It's insane what consistent effort would do.

00:24:18.733 --> 00:24:21.373
But people don't seem to want to do that.

00:24:21.373 --> 00:24:27.673
They would rather get it tall enough to see higher than they can see before and then stop from there Totally.

00:24:27.673 --> 00:24:30.795
But really it's just the completed action of just one on top of another.

00:24:31.306 --> 00:24:33.974
Since you said that, let me just throw this in there.

00:24:33.974 --> 00:24:41.696
Every once in a while, I go back and update a post that I began, I think, back in March, where we were just about to get to our first thousand downloads.

00:24:41.696 --> 00:24:44.132
That's only seven months ago.

00:24:44.132 --> 00:24:50.857
Yeah, within this month, we're breaking through 30,000 downloads.

00:24:50.857 --> 00:24:56.913
That's the 75 hard effect, that's the compound interest effect.

00:24:56.913 --> 00:25:01.296
Every effort, every day, has amounted to this and nothing less.

00:25:01.296 --> 00:25:06.512
And it will continue to grow, brother, and it will for you guys, if you take action.

00:25:06.512 --> 00:25:08.352
Okay, do we have an All Star today?

00:25:08.352 --> 00:25:09.529
I think I gave the basic.

00:25:10.266 --> 00:25:11.590
I have an All Star that we can work with.

00:25:11.590 --> 00:25:12.534
All right, hit it, brother.

00:25:12.534 --> 00:25:13.929
So the All Star?

00:25:13.929 --> 00:25:21.051
Because, for me, I was thinking what would I want to do if I were to take this challenge and why would I want to do it?

00:25:21.051 --> 00:25:24.694
And I figure that that in and of itself becomes the All Star action.

00:25:25.585 --> 00:25:30.416
To be told to do something is different than to be called to do something.

00:25:30.416 --> 00:25:39.130
So the All Star action that I have for you guys today is if you were to take five minutes in meditation, just not even meditation, five minutes in silence.

00:25:39.130 --> 00:25:46.132
And at the end of that, five minutes after sitting in silence, ask yourself what do I even want?

00:25:46.132 --> 00:25:53.573
If I were to be given anything in the world and I received that wish, what would it be?

00:25:53.573 --> 00:26:02.694
And the first thing that comes to your mind, I want you to hold on to that thing and then ask yourself this question why did I think that?

00:26:02.694 --> 00:26:09.587
Because what you'll find is that your heart's initial desire will reveal a direction, but it's often not a direction.

00:26:09.587 --> 00:26:11.693
You understand why or where it's going.

00:26:11.693 --> 00:26:20.775
Take five minutes in silence and simply just ask If I had had anything in the world, what would it be?

00:26:20.775 --> 00:26:23.111
And then just hold that with you and question it.

00:26:25.586 --> 00:26:28.836
Okay, okay, you just set me up for something I can't not touch.

00:26:28.836 --> 00:26:31.152
Don't worry, it's a double negative.

00:26:31.152 --> 00:26:32.971
You don't often get double negatives out of me.

00:26:33.944 --> 00:26:42.507
Don't worry, I just got it like there's a double All Star here Because it's so relevant to what we're talking about Also.

00:26:42.507 --> 00:26:43.971
Then figure out the how.

00:26:43.971 --> 00:26:49.671
Draw yourself a map Like how do I get to what I want?

00:26:49.671 --> 00:26:54.334
And then go out and follow the map.

00:26:54.334 --> 00:26:56.669
That's the hard part.

00:26:56.669 --> 00:26:59.329
It might take you a while.

00:26:59.329 --> 00:27:05.316
One of my other mentors, darren Hardy, who studied under Jim Rohn, as well as Robert, mentioned earlier.

00:27:05.316 --> 00:27:18.558
Darren Hardy literally has a lot of things figured out, but his social aptitude with women as a straight male individual was pretty weak.

00:27:18.558 --> 00:27:27.076
He literally drew the woman of his dreams and then realized oh crap, I'm not the guy that she would want.

00:27:27.076 --> 00:27:42.969
So the next thing he did is create a map to become that guy and literally this is in his books literally met the woman of his dreams, becoming the guy he needed to become, and they've been married ever since.

00:27:42.969 --> 00:27:50.257
It's a crazy Romeo Juliet story, brother, but I just felt that really needed to be on there.

00:27:50.257 --> 00:27:51.448
Was that okay?

00:27:51.448 --> 00:27:53.008
Yeah, no it's fine.

00:27:54.845 --> 00:28:02.575
I respect the grind, I can respect the drive and I can respect how building those blocks, one on top of the other, gets you to what you've always wanted.

00:28:04.057 --> 00:28:08.414
Absolutely Well, guys, this has been another episode of Electric Prenuers Secrets.

00:28:08.414 --> 00:28:11.291
Oh, mandy says it's from the compound effect.

00:28:11.291 --> 00:28:17.569
Thank you, mandy, that's a book that's right behind me if I shut my screensaver off, virtual background off.

00:28:17.569 --> 00:28:34.835
This has been another episode of Electric Prenuers Secrets, the Electricians podcast, where Joseph the sales, bot Lucani, and I, clay Neumeier, the Canadian pleasant peasant, go live with you five days a week to help you master sales, simplify your pricing and deliver premium level electrical service.

00:28:34.835 --> 00:28:40.717
And guess what, if this is Monday, I can't wait for Tuesday, wednesday, thursday or Friday this week.

00:28:40.717 --> 00:28:42.971
Hell, maybe we'll show up and do Saturday and Sunday.

00:28:42.971 --> 00:28:47.470
I know Hard, no, I'm out, but we got three days.
