WEBVTT
00:00:02.144 --> 00:00:08.426
Hello, hello, hello and welcome back to another episode of Electricpreneur Secrets, the electricians podcast.
00:00:08.426 --> 00:00:11.167
This is episode 187.
00:00:11.167 --> 00:00:17.382
Winners are made in the middle, with your host, clay Neumeier, and, of course, my esteemed co-host, joseph.
00:00:17.382 --> 00:00:19.207
The sales bot, luke Annie.
00:00:19.207 --> 00:00:26.727
We're showing up here with you five days a week to help you master sales, simplify pricing and deliver premium level electrical service.
00:00:26.727 --> 00:00:30.527
And surprise, we're early this day on this, I know right.
00:00:30.527 --> 00:00:33.868
We've been talking so much about the 75 e-hard.
00:00:33.868 --> 00:00:37.067
I guess maybe it's because we woke up a bit earlier, joe, or did?
00:00:37.107 --> 00:00:37.228
you.
00:00:37.228 --> 00:00:38.551
I did, actually.
00:00:38.551 --> 00:00:43.170
So the best thing is is that I'm actually going to be setting my alarm even earlier.
00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:53.087
Normally, I get up every morning at five, but recently the girls have been deciding to say they don't want me working out in the morning, so I'm going to be raising the bar and I'm going to start getting up at 4.30.
00:00:53.087 --> 00:00:59.965
Oh, and I'm just going to keep raising it, and raising it, and raising it until eventually I'm able to do the full challenge the way it's supposed to be done.
00:01:00.506 --> 00:01:02.491
When's your bedtime, then it's got to be even earlier.
00:01:02.901 --> 00:01:03.865
It gets earlier and earlier.
00:01:03.865 --> 00:01:08.167
Realistically I need about eight hours, so I'm trying to get the sleep in between nine and 10.
00:01:08.167 --> 00:01:11.084
But if I need to get up earlier, then so be it.
00:01:11.084 --> 00:01:11.746
I got up earlier.
00:01:12.188 --> 00:01:12.769
Is what it is.
00:01:12.769 --> 00:01:15.905
Well, you are a strong dude.
00:01:15.905 --> 00:01:17.649
You're committed, you're focused.
00:01:17.649 --> 00:01:18.710
We know that.
00:01:18.710 --> 00:01:19.451
You've proven it.
00:01:19.451 --> 00:01:30.831
In fact, to tie it directly into what we're talking about today, how important do you feel it is actually to train for the middle of the race, as our topic is?
00:01:30.831 --> 00:01:33.828
Winners are made in the middle of what we're really digging at.
00:01:33.828 --> 00:01:38.262
There's like it's easy to start actually we talk about for some, it isn't.
00:01:38.262 --> 00:01:40.846
You don't have to be great to start, but you do have to start to be great.
00:01:41.087 --> 00:01:42.549
Right, agreed, agreed 100%.
00:01:43.090 --> 00:01:47.484
And it's easy to focus on the finish line and just think, well, when I finished, this will be fantastic.
00:01:47.484 --> 00:01:52.891
But what's not easy is actually to bear down and grit through the middle of the race.
00:01:52.891 --> 00:01:54.763
Can you speak to this at all, joe?
00:01:54.804 --> 00:01:59.981
Yes, so it's also a philosophy thing in life as well, if you think about it.
00:01:59.981 --> 00:02:11.199
Have you ever heard the expression I'll be happy when I do this, I'll be happy when I get that, when I get that promotion, when my kids get older, when the car is paid off?
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:15.631
Whatever it is it's, you're delaying your gratification to something else.
00:02:16.461 --> 00:02:19.328
Admittedly you have said that, unfortunately, many times.
00:02:19.688 --> 00:02:20.330
I've done that too.
00:02:20.330 --> 00:02:21.331
I don't blame it.
00:02:21.331 --> 00:02:24.228
I mean it's sometimes the way that we've conditioned ourselves.
00:02:24.228 --> 00:02:35.271
Yeah, the problem is is that if you realize all you're doing is you're the horse with a carrot in front of you and the carrot never gets closer, never, never gets closer.
00:02:35.271 --> 00:02:38.108
You can run on the treadmill trying to chase something and it doesn't get anywhere.
00:02:38.108 --> 00:02:41.770
The reason being is because the mark always moves.
00:02:41.770 --> 00:02:49.667
Like if I were to say Clay 15 years ago, would you expect it that you would be here right now in the situation with the blessings you have.
00:02:50.688 --> 00:03:10.582
No, I can say as a caveat that generally many parts of my vision have unlocked and become available to me in ways that almost seem crazy to reflect on, but when you really truly think, well, I did think about that, I did ask for that in some ways, and now I've created that.
00:03:11.185 --> 00:03:12.108
Correct, and I love that.
00:03:12.108 --> 00:03:21.971
The point I'm trying to get to is this is that when we're trying to train for the race, if we only go for the end goal, the bulk of the race isn't being enjoyed.
00:03:21.971 --> 00:03:29.909
There's a start that everyone enjoys, when the gunfire is off, and then the 90% in the middle gets completely blacked out.
00:03:29.909 --> 00:03:33.669
So people just want to see where they started and immediately jump to where they've ended.
00:03:34.774 --> 00:03:35.781
You know what what's?
00:03:35.781 --> 00:03:38.313
Up no I don't want to interrupt, Please if you're on a roll go.
00:03:39.210 --> 00:03:50.198
So continuing on with that, I've always interpreted the middle as training for the times when it's less fun, training for slow season in a way, if you really wanted to get into it.
00:03:51.430 --> 00:03:52.413
We did talk about that.
00:03:53.516 --> 00:03:53.737
Okay.
00:03:53.737 --> 00:03:58.722
The reason why I consider the middle the slow season is because it's the unfun part.
00:03:58.722 --> 00:04:01.338
It's the part where your discipline actually matters.
00:04:01.338 --> 00:04:08.997
It's the part where you getting up and you gritting your teeth and saying I'm getting this done regardless actually puts those coins into the finished jar.
00:04:09.658 --> 00:04:13.978
Yes, yes, and as you talk about this, I can't help but be brought back to this.
00:04:13.978 --> 00:04:19.954
This expression I've used many times is that losers are focused on the scoreboard, in other words, the finish line.
00:04:19.954 --> 00:04:24.920
Mm-hmm, they're focused on the start and the finish, but winning happens in the middle.
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.997
Winning happens in running the play consistently.
00:04:27.997 --> 00:04:30.675
Winning happens and keeps showing up no matter what.
00:04:30.675 --> 00:04:32.300
You're feeling Correct.
00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:35.721
That's kind of the discipline that this whole week's been really built around.
00:04:36.324 --> 00:04:37.829
It has, and I have a good quote for it.
00:04:37.910 --> 00:04:40.235
Can we condition ourselves to continually show up?
00:04:40.235 --> 00:04:42.300
Yes, thanks for letting me fit that.
00:04:42.862 --> 00:04:45.336
No, no worries, I actually have a quote specifically for that.
00:04:45.336 --> 00:04:49.374
All right, so, granted, this shows what I'm watching with my kids.
00:04:49.374 --> 00:04:59.298
But yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, and that's why it's called the present.
00:04:59.298 --> 00:05:06.093
You can appreciate what you have right now because that's really the only moment that's actually real.
00:05:06.093 --> 00:05:09.899
The past is always going to be affected by your thoughts of it.
00:05:09.899 --> 00:05:20.175
Your future is always going to be broken down by your projections of it, but the only real, tangible thing you have is this living moment right now, this breath connected to the next breath.
00:05:20.175 --> 00:05:29.916
If you can find joy in that space, then it doesn't matter how long away that goal is, because you'll notice, it just goes by.
00:05:29.916 --> 00:05:32.404
Wow, because you're counting day by day.
00:05:32.404 --> 00:05:36.295
You're saying I'm not counting 20 years, I'm counting 20 hours.
00:05:37.069 --> 00:05:42.178
Yeah, I want to relate this to a bigger picture and then narrow back down to even our program.
00:05:42.178 --> 00:05:50.396
Sure, 80% of businesses on average small businesses do fail, and it tends to be within three to five years.
00:05:50.396 --> 00:06:05.634
And even in our program we've seen the ability to accelerate businesses at an extreme pace, like Eric and Mandy last week, who've been at it for a while, for sure, but that growth is so fast.
00:06:05.634 --> 00:06:16.161
We've had other people like Dorian, join us and within a couple months make 120K, where others take years to make that 120K, or maybe the first year goes by to make the 120K.
00:06:16.161 --> 00:06:18.593
That's an incredible feat.
00:06:19.490 --> 00:06:31.942
But what it does not change is this middle of the race syndrome, that is, do I have the intestinal fortitude to continue to run the play, even through the off season?
00:06:31.942 --> 00:06:42.139
Off season, joe, and I think that's where there's still a struggle, and we kind of have to be in this together and just absorb it, because growth is not linear.
00:06:42.139 --> 00:06:47.038
It might be linear for a period and at times even exponential.
00:06:47.038 --> 00:06:56.495
But even the people who are saying look, my business doubled year after year, after a year and now I'm at a million bucks a year, that was not linear.
00:06:56.495 --> 00:07:07.142
They face challenges in that too, and it's not even so easy to reflect on them today, because years have passed, just like it's not so easy to reflect on the winds of last week.
00:07:07.142 --> 00:07:09.552
That won't hold you up in the middle.
00:07:09.552 --> 00:07:12.214
That's where the training counts, isn't it?
00:07:12.817 --> 00:07:13.177
Correct.
00:07:13.177 --> 00:07:17.370
You need to have something that almost is like an anchor to you, like.
00:07:17.370 --> 00:07:22.035
This is my rock, this is what I'm clinging to, this is the play that I run.
00:07:22.035 --> 00:07:24.954
I go to my calls, I run this play.
00:07:24.954 --> 00:07:26.475
I have this mindset.
00:07:26.475 --> 00:07:27.875
I own this creed.
00:07:27.875 --> 00:07:29.132
This is the way.
00:07:31.237 --> 00:07:32.860
Really powerful, really powerful.
00:07:32.860 --> 00:07:39.096
And that reminds me of you know, let's go Simon Sinek here to pull reference and another guru into the space.
00:07:39.096 --> 00:07:41.038
Simon Sinek, start with why?
00:07:41.038 --> 00:07:42.303
Ever heard of that book, joe?
00:07:42.303 --> 00:07:47.699
Yeah, there's a nice little diagram that I actually love in it and I reference it a lot.
00:07:47.699 --> 00:07:52.404
I do, maybe not on the podcast, but in my mind, in my thinking, in my strategy.
00:07:52.404 --> 00:08:02.875
Start with why, to me, is those three egg shapes and they're growing, and why is in the middle, and Simon said this in that book and around that topic.
00:08:02.875 --> 00:08:11.555
Most know what they do, many know how they do it.
00:08:11.555 --> 00:08:19.699
Few know why, and that speaks to electricians on a whole different level, doesn't it?
00:08:20.250 --> 00:08:21.696
It really really, really does.
00:08:22.209 --> 00:08:34.393
Most electricians are in this space as electric printers, still thinking that it's about electron flow, that it's about the romance between the studs, that it's about the staple spacing as per any C or CEC.
00:08:34.393 --> 00:08:40.952
A little shout out to the end, before the C there, which are my initials, by the way, c-n.
00:08:40.952 --> 00:08:44.799
If you didn't make that connection, sweet Gosh, my brain works in funny ways.
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:53.711
The point is, that's not actually what helps you succeed in business, and that's just such a small piece of the how and the what.
00:08:53.711 --> 00:08:55.748
Does that make sense?
00:08:56.422 --> 00:08:57.024
It really does.
00:08:57.024 --> 00:09:11.799
I really feel like, for the most part, if you don't know the why, you struggle, and I think that's one of the reasons why our program is so effective, because for every single word that I added, in every single part of the process, there's a why attached to every single thing.
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.759
Some people will say like well, why do I say it this way?
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:19.692
And we can break it down and be like well, this is what you're trying to get as a response.
00:09:19.692 --> 00:09:23.510
If you remove one word, does that change the inflection?
00:09:23.510 --> 00:09:24.864
It's like oh, it does.
00:09:24.864 --> 00:09:29.330
Okay, so now that you know the why, the why helps you get the how.
00:09:31.481 --> 00:09:46.168
And we've all heard of stories of like car stalls on a train track, kids in the back seat, a parent gets out and moves the car by physical force, personally right, and that person could be injured.
00:09:46.168 --> 00:09:48.380
Or a small female person, or like.
00:09:48.380 --> 00:09:52.586
We've heard these crazy stories in moments of I've got to do this.
00:09:52.586 --> 00:09:59.335
That why is so powerful that nothing could stop me short of my limbs falling off and me literally catching fire.
00:09:59.335 --> 00:10:06.293
It's crazy to think what we're really capable of when that why is cemented.
00:10:06.293 --> 00:10:11.890
So my first challenge on this podcast is do you actually know your why?
00:10:11.890 --> 00:10:16.990
I feel like it's incredibly important to what we're talking about, joe.
00:10:16.990 --> 00:10:26.894
Is it cemented and do you go over it almost daily for yourself and for your staff, for your team?
00:10:26.894 --> 00:10:30.467
Are you serving the why in that mission?
00:10:30.467 --> 00:10:31.129
Go ahead, brother.
00:10:32.020 --> 00:10:37.826
I feel like there's a way that we can even enhance this further, and that is when people say they don't know their why.
00:10:37.826 --> 00:10:44.711
Right, I would say, for those of you that question whether your why is what it is, I want you to sit with it.
00:10:44.711 --> 00:10:49.832
The reason why I say that is this like for me, my why was my kids and my family.
00:10:49.832 --> 00:10:56.311
Like I wanted to be with them, I wanted to serve, I wanted to do everything I could to be the father that I and the husband I know they deserve.
00:10:56.311 --> 00:11:01.950
So my why I see every day, I wake up to my why.
00:11:01.950 --> 00:11:06.488
I spend time with them, I go to sleep with my why every single day.
00:11:06.488 --> 00:11:07.691
They're close and in my life.
00:11:07.691 --> 00:11:14.274
But if you didn't have your why, that close, how can you possibly draw strength from it?
00:11:14.274 --> 00:11:19.474
Where does your inspiration come from if it's an ambiguous thought, a future thought that's not really real?
00:11:19.474 --> 00:11:22.337
How can you get closer to your likely?
00:11:24.171 --> 00:11:25.875
That's really important and a good idea.
00:11:25.875 --> 00:11:28.340
There's many things like you know what?
00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:31.732
I've given this advice before Mental movies.
00:11:31.732 --> 00:11:33.357
Ever heard of that, yeah.
00:11:33.437 --> 00:11:34.441
I think it's super helpful.
00:11:34.932 --> 00:11:39.529
I mean, obviously you're gonna see your kids every morning, every night, during the day, when you're done.
00:11:39.529 --> 00:11:48.339
So you've got that constant reminder and I'm not gonna make that joke I was gonna say and maybe sometimes a reminder why you should quit.
00:11:48.339 --> 00:11:58.549
No, kids are wonderful men I love mine too but but it's there, it's there with you and you get to see that and continue to imagine that and their growth and your family's growth.
00:11:58.549 --> 00:11:59.815
So that's really powerful.
00:11:59.815 --> 00:12:01.863
But what about when it's not your kids?
00:12:01.863 --> 00:12:07.140
Maybe for someone listening it's not that tangible, maybe it's just not right there, maybe your.
00:12:07.140 --> 00:12:11.039
Why is a future accomplishment something that you're aiming for?
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:16.283
And what I could say to that is, as much as winners Are made in the middle, losers are too.
00:12:16.283 --> 00:12:22.022
Losers are made in the middle, and it happens with this Q word called quit.
00:12:22.022 --> 00:12:31.403
Right, the moment you quit and let's just reframe what that looks like for a moment From that pivotal moment it feels like a fork in the road.
00:12:31.423 --> 00:12:40.398
You're tired, you're beat up, you're fucking frustrated, and it's as simple as a light switch Maybe even a decor, a light switch to just go.
00:12:40.398 --> 00:12:42.163
I don't need to do this anymore.
00:12:42.163 --> 00:12:46.719
We can end the suffering right now if I just push this button.
00:12:46.719 --> 00:12:52.179
If I just flick this switch off, it's all over and it's smooth sailing from there.
00:12:52.179 --> 00:13:10.336
Intel regret, intel regret, whereas winning, on the other hand, means continuing to take accountability, continuing to face this challenge, continuing to acknowledge that I put myself here and continuing to acknowledge that I'm in a valley right now and there's a fucking climb ahead.
00:13:10.336 --> 00:13:12.596
It's not done for a while.
00:13:12.596 --> 00:13:18.922
It's gonna suck, it's gonna hurt, but there's going to be peaks there where you're gonna get a view like you never had before.
00:13:18.922 --> 00:13:23.195
That makes sense, joe it really, really does.
00:13:23.636 --> 00:13:30.610
And there was something I wanted to speak to you because you you made a phrase called mental movies and I'm not sure if everyone fully understands what that means.
00:13:30.610 --> 00:13:37.475
So I wanted to just give a personal example of how that directly is helping me and ways that people can implement in their own lives.
00:13:37.897 --> 00:13:38.378
Is that fair?
00:13:38.820 --> 00:13:52.472
Yeah, okay, so I don't know how much everyone knows about me in my as far as my past, but when I was in high school I was actually on the track team and I end up getting scholarships into college for throwing the discus and I absolutely loved it.
00:13:52.472 --> 00:13:56.101
The reason why I loved it wasn't because I was the biggest and the strongest.
00:13:56.101 --> 00:14:02.874
I was actually, you know, pretty average size for the average guy, but I Really understood the technique.
00:14:02.874 --> 00:14:11.200
I studied the technique and I learned everything that was required to do it, not just physically but on paper.
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.389
I knew where my feet were supposed to be.
00:14:13.389 --> 00:14:18.883
I knew exactly if I held the discus in one hand, I can turn, I can feel the weight difference.
00:14:18.883 --> 00:14:25.078
There were days when I would just set up and I would just hold it and throw it in my hand Just to understand the weight and mentally manage it.
00:14:26.116 --> 00:14:42.330
And before every track meet, I Would literally condition myself to in my head, visualize what the perfect throw looked like, felt like, sounded, like, the feeling of the air leaving my chest as I would throw, the relief.
00:14:42.330 --> 00:14:53.149
I would picture myself landing and like having like a roar of triumph, and I would play that every single time in my head, night after night after night.
00:14:53.149 --> 00:15:03.785
And the funny thing was my brain didn't know the difference after a while Now and I would constantly get gold or silver in every meet that we went to.
00:15:03.785 --> 00:15:07.178
And it was just due to process.
00:15:07.178 --> 00:15:16.244
So for anyone who wants to figure out, how can you do these things, it's that the same reason why I'm talking about the discus applies to business.
00:15:16.885 --> 00:15:20.822
When I did it right, it didn't feel like I had done anything at all.
00:15:20.822 --> 00:15:20.861
I.
00:15:20.861 --> 00:15:28.272
But what didn't feel like anything at all was all the culmination of all the practice in the discipline action day in and day out.
00:15:28.272 --> 00:15:31.793
You may say I want to be a better salesperson.
00:15:31.793 --> 00:15:34.469
Okay, great, I believe you and I'm for that.
00:15:34.469 --> 00:15:43.952
But when you know you're a good salesperson is when you show up to a call common cool and you get the sale without feeling like you really tried to get it.
00:15:43.952 --> 00:15:50.635
It wasn't because you just winged it, it was because you could slip into autopilot because of all the mental movies you'd given yourself.
00:15:50.635 --> 00:15:53.351
That's how you get past it.
00:15:54.004 --> 00:15:54.688
Massive man.
00:15:54.688 --> 00:15:56.034
You just reminded me again.
00:15:56.034 --> 00:15:57.510
I know we talked about this the other day.
00:15:57.510 --> 00:15:58.870
I don't think it was on the podcast.
00:15:58.870 --> 00:16:24.995
I watched this snippet Maybe it was a YouTube short of this neurologist and she was talking about how they put people through a study where they were able to sit on a weight bench and imagine lifting weights on repeat, using the same amount of time and maybe even a bit less, and just focusing on muscle contraction and the imagination, imagining a mental movie about lifting weights.
00:16:24.995 --> 00:16:37.177
Over that period of time they actually experienced a 13% increase average across that group of people in muscle mass development from imagining and playing a mental movie.
00:16:37.177 --> 00:16:38.900
It's amazing.
00:16:38.900 --> 00:16:39.302
It's amazing.
00:16:39.302 --> 00:16:41.164
It's going to look great.
00:16:41.184 --> 00:16:46.037
My mentor, he said to me once with the act, as if he said look, we've got this expression.
00:16:46.037 --> 00:16:49.272
If you can't put it in a wheelbarrow, it doesn't exist.
00:16:49.272 --> 00:17:03.309
I've got a question right there with things like that, if you can create that level of development before ever actually having done the activity, to me that does exist.
00:17:03.309 --> 00:17:09.444
Acting as if is a superpower and it can and will get you through the middle of this race.
00:17:09.444 --> 00:17:24.914
So long as you can focus, have dedicated focus on that wide, that mental movie and everything you need that's on the other side of the finish line, for you to keep pushing towards it and not flick that switch, because that switch is right there with regret, as we mentioned.
00:17:26.057 --> 00:17:27.445
Isn't that crazy, how like.
00:17:27.445 --> 00:17:42.233
If you think about like let's almost cartoon it and find it in a way, when people say that switch that off, switch, it's right there, but it's also right next to the go button, they're literally within one hand spanned away from each other.
00:17:42.233 --> 00:17:49.298
I could either stop right now and go back to sleep or I can hit the go button and do it right now.
00:17:49.298 --> 00:17:58.709
You'll find that the doing of the thing like I've never woken up and gone to the gym and then wished I had gone back to sleep.
00:17:58.709 --> 00:18:04.430
But I have gone back to sleep and wished I had gone up and gone to the gym.
00:18:05.845 --> 00:18:26.712
I don't ever regret not doing something, but I do regret not doing something because when you get to the finish line and you look back and you see all the piles of crumbs you left behind all these success hills that you mowed through because you wanted the easy way, and you're like, wait a second, I'm only a little bit better off than when I started.
00:18:26.712 --> 00:18:29.348
Yeah, because your discipline wasn't strong.
00:18:29.348 --> 00:18:34.515
Discipline is being willing to climb the mountain to raise your elevation.
00:18:34.515 --> 00:18:36.392
I mean, think about it.
00:18:36.392 --> 00:18:38.669
I mean even if you want to go even further.
00:18:38.669 --> 00:18:41.234
Can I make an offshoot example Please?
00:18:41.556 --> 00:18:41.836
Go ahead.
00:18:43.046 --> 00:19:05.819
For those who are familiar with the Gurga, which is a Nepali type of soldier, their elevation in the Himalayas is so high that it actually requires you to develop your long strength to deal with less oxygen and thinner air in order to survive, to do anything, to climb the mountains of the Himalayas organically.
00:19:05.819 --> 00:19:08.891
Naturally, you need to have a conditioned body.
00:19:08.891 --> 00:19:16.469
But if you took that same person and you brought them to a lower elevation, you'll find they can run for hours.
00:19:16.469 --> 00:19:20.553
But if you did the inverse we took one of us and put it at the higher elevation we're not ready.
00:19:20.553 --> 00:19:21.816
Why?
00:19:21.816 --> 00:19:27.195
The difference is the condition of our environment, but also the environment we put ourselves in.
00:19:28.325 --> 00:19:40.415
If you're willing to say I am willing to go in a place where the breathing is hard because I believe in what will end up my result when I'm done, you're not complaining about how hard it is to breathe.
00:19:40.415 --> 00:19:41.238
You're like you know what.
00:19:41.238 --> 00:19:42.059
This is going to be worth it.
00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:44.773
This is not going to be hard, and every time it gets easier.
00:19:44.773 --> 00:19:46.618
Suddenly it's like you know what.
00:19:46.618 --> 00:19:47.260
I'm a little bit better.
00:19:47.260 --> 00:19:49.037
I'm a little bit better, a little bit better, a little bit better.
00:19:49.037 --> 00:19:51.695
That's the point we're trying to get to.
00:19:51.695 --> 00:19:56.178
I'd rather stay with the air is thin, but I know the climb is worth it.
00:19:57.901 --> 00:19:59.624
Deep stuff, man, deep stuff.
00:20:00.289 --> 00:20:09.362
The only other insight I can offer to that is what we recognize is you cross the finishing, the finish line from from not looking around and focus on what others are doing.
00:20:09.730 --> 00:20:13.817
It's just a wholesome central focus, like you've got to focus on you.
00:20:13.817 --> 00:20:32.739
You've got to get across this, and so what we don't notice along the path is all the people that drop off, and what tends to happen next is you arrive somewhere that's blissful, it's emotional and, honestly, fewer the ones that reach it.
00:20:32.739 --> 00:20:47.484
It's a less crowded place, and what you learn in that experience is that you yourself can go from A to B, that you do have control over it and there's an empowerment within that.
00:20:47.484 --> 00:21:05.749
That only the people who have done challenges like we put up this week, only the people that are able to truly control themselves and and ride that discipline through those waves, the peaks and the valleys to accomplish something truly difficult, which in almost every case at this day and age to.
00:21:05.749 --> 00:21:12.250
To get you know some from what Mel said earlier, we live in a culture addicted to the dopamine rush of new and fast things.
00:21:12.672 --> 00:21:15.446
This day and age that's the difference.
00:21:17.619 --> 00:21:25.690
Winners are made in the middle and you'll be able to recognize the people that are also in the middle there with you and people that are able to come through that and you could see it.
00:21:25.690 --> 00:21:32.568
It's like X ray vision for people that have that intestinal fortitude.
00:21:32.568 --> 00:21:33.029
You can just see it.
00:21:33.029 --> 00:21:44.930
I think I really want to actually end up, joe, and that was having that mental movie having that, that Y, what do you think for adding to that, with an all star here and finishing us off for this week, I can do that.
00:21:47.939 --> 00:21:53.169
So right now we're doing the 75 E hard challenge and a lot of us may say that it's a little hard to do.
00:21:53.169 --> 00:21:57.153
Right, I can't figure out how to do the steps I would say with the all star action.
00:21:57.153 --> 00:22:00.087
I'm going to go a little bit further with your mental movie All right.
00:22:00.087 --> 00:22:02.660
And I want you to not only just visualize the doing.
00:00:02.144 --> 00:00:08.426
00:00:08.426 --> 00:00:11.167
00:00:11.167 --> 00:00:17.382
00:00:17.382 --> 00:00:19.207
00:00:19.207 --> 00:00:26.727
00:00:26.727 --> 00:00:30.527
00:00:30.527 --> 00:00:33.868
00:00:33.868 --> 00:00:37.067
00:00:37.107 --> 00:00:37.228
00:00:37.228 --> 00:00:38.551
00:00:38.551 --> 00:00:43.170
00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:53.087
00:00:53.087 --> 00:00:59.965
00:01:00.506 --> 00:01:02.491
00:01:02.901 --> 00:01:03.865
00:01:03.865 --> 00:01:08.167
00:01:08.167 --> 00:01:11.084
00:01:11.084 --> 00:01:11.746
00:01:12.188 --> 00:01:12.769
00:01:12.769 --> 00:01:15.905
00:01:15.905 --> 00:01:17.649
00:01:17.649 --> 00:01:18.710
00:01:18.710 --> 00:01:19.451
00:01:19.451 --> 00:01:30.831
00:01:30.831 --> 00:01:33.828
00:01:33.828 --> 00:01:38.262
00:01:38.262 --> 00:01:40.846
00:01:41.087 --> 00:01:42.549
00:01:43.090 --> 00:01:47.484
00:01:47.484 --> 00:01:52.891
00:01:52.891 --> 00:01:54.763
00:01:54.804 --> 00:01:59.981
00:01:59.981 --> 00:02:11.199
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:15.631
00:02:16.461 --> 00:02:19.328
00:02:19.688 --> 00:02:20.330
00:02:20.330 --> 00:02:21.331
00:02:21.331 --> 00:02:24.228
00:02:24.228 --> 00:02:35.271
00:02:35.271 --> 00:02:38.108
00:02:38.108 --> 00:02:41.770
00:02:41.770 --> 00:02:49.667
00:02:50.688 --> 00:03:10.582
00:03:11.185 --> 00:03:12.108
00:03:12.108 --> 00:03:21.971
00:03:21.971 --> 00:03:29.909
00:03:29.909 --> 00:03:33.669
00:03:34.774 --> 00:03:35.781
00:03:35.781 --> 00:03:38.313
00:03:39.210 --> 00:03:50.198
00:03:51.430 --> 00:03:52.413
00:03:53.516 --> 00:03:53.737
00:03:53.737 --> 00:03:58.722
00:03:58.722 --> 00:04:01.338
00:04:01.338 --> 00:04:08.997
00:04:09.658 --> 00:04:13.978
00:04:13.978 --> 00:04:19.954
00:04:19.954 --> 00:04:24.920
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.997
00:04:27.997 --> 00:04:30.675
00:04:30.675 --> 00:04:32.300
00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:35.721
00:04:36.324 --> 00:04:37.829
00:04:37.910 --> 00:04:40.235
00:04:40.235 --> 00:04:42.300
00:04:42.862 --> 00:04:45.336
00:04:45.336 --> 00:04:49.374
00:04:49.374 --> 00:04:59.298
00:04:59.298 --> 00:05:06.093
00:05:06.093 --> 00:05:09.899
00:05:09.899 --> 00:05:20.175
00:05:20.175 --> 00:05:29.916
00:05:29.916 --> 00:05:32.404
00:05:32.404 --> 00:05:36.295
00:05:37.069 --> 00:05:42.178
00:05:42.178 --> 00:05:50.396
00:05:50.396 --> 00:06:05.634
00:06:05.634 --> 00:06:16.161
00:06:16.161 --> 00:06:18.593
00:06:19.490 --> 00:06:31.942
00:06:31.942 --> 00:06:42.139
00:06:42.139 --> 00:06:47.038
00:06:47.038 --> 00:06:56.495

00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:19.692
00:09:19.692 --> 00:09:23.510
00:09:23.510 --> 00:09:24.864
00:09:24.864 --> 00:09:29.330
00:09:31.481 --> 00:09:46.168
00:09:46.168 --> 00:09:48.380
00:09:48.380 --> 00:09:52.586
