Ep 271 - Replay - How to Take Control Back

Ever found yourself stumbling through a morning that started off sideways? We've all been there, and in this episode, I share a laugh-out-loud snafu from a recent training session that accidentally went public, spinning it into a teachable moment on the importance of vulnerability in coaching. Alongside my co-host Joseph, we dissect the powerful 75E challenge and its role in sculpting formidable daily habits that underpin success. Listen in as we reveal why arming yourself with intention and positivity can dramatically alter the trajectory of your day, transforming potential pitfalls into stepping stones toward your goals.

Now, have you ever taken a moment to savor a scent or sound that rocketed you back to a triumph? That's the magic of sensory memories, which we dive into with vibrant storytelling in the second half of our chat. We unlock the strategy of leveraging these potent recollections to combat the blues and reframe your perspective, especially on those days when the world seems against you. I regale you with a tale of a sales victory so vivid, you can almost hear the cha-ching with your own ears, and Joseph adds his insights on how peace can be found in the smallest details. Tune in to discover how turning your senses into allies can help you snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

11:26 - Peace Through Sensory Memories

WEBVTT

00:00:01.743 --> 00:00:10.910
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to another episode of Electric Pinner Secrets, episode 197, how to Take Control Back Of what?

00:00:10.910 --> 00:00:12.048
This is a big question.

00:00:12.048 --> 00:00:19.085
Today, joe, I'm your host, clay Neumeyer, also known as the Pleasant Peasant from up north of the border up here in Canada.

00:00:19.085 --> 00:00:23.902
So, polite, I'll hold the door open and thank you for walking through Joining me, as always.

00:00:23.902 --> 00:00:27.190
My esteemed co-host, joseph the Salesbot, luke Canny.

00:00:27.190 --> 00:00:30.342
Joe, how are you doing this fine Friday man?

00:00:31.085 --> 00:00:31.949
Fridays are always fun.

00:00:31.949 --> 00:00:34.909
It's one of those things where I love the classes that we do on Fridays.

00:00:34.909 --> 00:00:41.216
I love the engagement we get and you know, I used to love the thought of just racing for the weekend.

00:00:41.216 --> 00:00:45.451
But when you love what you do five days a week, it doesn't really feel any different.

00:00:45.451 --> 00:00:47.646
I don't feel that way, brother.

00:00:47.646 --> 00:00:48.530
I'm feeling good.

00:00:49.283 --> 00:00:49.643
You know what.

00:00:49.643 --> 00:00:50.787
There is ebb and flow.

00:00:50.787 --> 00:00:54.450
We're not going to sit here and pretend like our weeks are perfect and without problems.

00:00:54.450 --> 00:00:56.284
There's always fires to put out.

00:00:56.284 --> 00:00:58.104
It does a little bit of this.

00:00:58.104 --> 00:01:06.391
But the highs lately, and the baseline, that seems to be where the highs are reflecting off man, they're up there, they're peaking.

00:01:06.391 --> 00:01:08.846
I'm loving it too, man, really enjoying this.

00:01:08.846 --> 00:01:11.227
So thank you for that.

00:01:11.227 --> 00:01:13.846
I wanted to share an embarrassing fact.

00:01:14.628 --> 00:01:17.102
Oh, okay, hit it, hopefully about you and not me.

00:01:18.206 --> 00:01:18.807
It's about me.

00:01:18.807 --> 00:01:19.790
It's something that happened.

00:01:19.790 --> 00:01:20.070
Actually.

00:01:20.070 --> 00:01:22.186
There was a little event Wednesday.

00:01:23.162 --> 00:01:44.802
I had a call drop off Wednesday afternoon and I decided that through the group chat that we have going in our group of electric winners on the inside, I decided to do an impromptu training because there was a conversation going around of like how do we get attention in a new group, how do we draw attention to our cause, to our business, to get more leads organically on Facebook?

00:01:44.802 --> 00:01:48.287
One person said well, we could discount.

00:01:48.287 --> 00:01:51.250
Discounting is kind of a dirty word, right?

00:01:51.250 --> 00:01:53.245
I think we've talked about that one a few times.

00:01:53.245 --> 00:01:58.710
We really shouldn't, and it's a whole other episode to talk about how that decays your profitability.

00:01:58.710 --> 00:01:59.802
It's really bad.

00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.789
And so I wanted to address, like, how to speak to pains.

00:02:03.789 --> 00:02:06.063
So here's what we did.

00:02:06.063 --> 00:02:11.632
I literally jumped on our class link that I sent to the guys and said if anyone wants to jump on you, can.

00:02:11.632 --> 00:02:12.765
I'm going to do this with you.

00:02:12.765 --> 00:02:13.932
It's an end of day.

00:02:13.932 --> 00:02:15.240
I'm going to check some KPI off.

00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.366
I'm going to put a post out and get some hands up.

00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.770
If you've been following us for a while, you've seen these posts likely if you work with us.

00:02:21.770 --> 00:02:22.903
You commented on one.

00:02:22.903 --> 00:02:28.524
Many of you listening probably have commented and got a value piece from us from a post just like this.

00:02:28.524 --> 00:02:41.549
So they jump on and I said, well, for everyone that can attend right now, we're going to stream this Facebook live to our group, and what I missed doing was actually sending it to the group.

00:02:41.549 --> 00:02:51.031
So it actually went straight to my profile and we had about a dozen people watching live While there was about eight people in the class and I'm thinking, god, this is late for a lot of people.

00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.467
That's a lot of people watching from our group right now.

00:02:53.467 --> 00:03:03.750
That's interesting, before realizing about 40 minutes in that we were streaming to everyone on Facebook while building this post to get hands up.

00:03:03.750 --> 00:03:05.145
It was an awkward moment.

00:03:05.145 --> 00:03:06.223
I had to shut it down.

00:03:06.223 --> 00:03:07.388
I'm sorry.

00:03:07.388 --> 00:03:12.431
I love helping you guys for free, but that one was meant to be an inside training and I botched it.

00:03:12.431 --> 00:03:16.466
I just gave it away for free, man, that's my embarrassing little fact for this one.

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:24.669
You know what, though, if you think about it, of all the embarrassing things that we've done right, it's not being awkward.

00:03:24.669 --> 00:03:26.466
It's not anything that I can claim.

00:03:26.466 --> 00:03:34.127
If our most embarrassing thing was that we gave so much free value away unknowingly, may that be our biggest problem.

00:03:34.127 --> 00:03:41.945
May that be our biggest problem because, if nothing else, I would rather be known as the coaching team that gives so much away.

00:03:41.945 --> 00:03:43.930
People wonder how we still have anything left.

00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:45.921
I love that.

00:03:45.921 --> 00:03:47.602
I love that, man.

00:03:47.602 --> 00:03:55.848
As we started this about how to take control back, I'm feeling the vacuum pulling me into the marketing and what I just talked about.

00:03:55.848 --> 00:03:59.751
I'm going to resist because of what we started yesterday.

00:03:59.751 --> 00:04:00.745
I'm going to resist.

00:04:00.745 --> 00:04:04.207
We'll get back into that marketing to pain points, maybe next week.

00:04:04.207 --> 00:04:14.709
This topic's super freaking important because we talk about mindset and we talk about the importance of remaining in a good mindset.

00:04:14.709 --> 00:04:17.548
Joe, what about the moments where it's fleeting?

00:04:17.548 --> 00:04:23.846
What about the mornings where we wake up and it is a shitty fucking day and it's hard to get on top of the world again?

00:04:23.846 --> 00:04:32.673
You're feeling like the weight of the world is crushing you and yet you're about to go run a sales call and all you can't get out of your mind is this old dog won't hunt.

00:04:32.673 --> 00:04:34.086
I can't fucking connect this.

00:04:34.086 --> 00:04:35.725
No one's going to buy him for me today.

00:04:35.725 --> 00:04:36.963
What would you say to that?

00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:48.310
So I'm going to say lap it again, because yesterday one of my ex and I was talking about the 75E challenge, but that's exactly what would solve this particular problem.

00:04:48.310 --> 00:04:52.461
Let me back up and explain why you wake up.

00:04:52.461 --> 00:04:53.463
You're on the wrong side of the bed.

00:04:53.463 --> 00:04:56.766
I'm going to describe them for two different people.

00:04:56.766 --> 00:04:58.584
You wake up on the wrong side of the bed.

00:04:58.584 --> 00:05:06.783
You didn't have your big breakfast, you didn't listen to your sales material, you didn't show your gratitude, you didn't have your intention.

00:05:06.783 --> 00:05:14.165
And then you're on your way to the call, smoking your cigarette, listening to metal in the background which who doesn't love metal?

00:05:14.165 --> 00:05:16.543
But being in the background and being like, okay, now what are we doing?

00:05:16.543 --> 00:05:18.742
I guarantee you that person.

00:05:18.742 --> 00:05:23.670
We, even with a better presentation, would be less confident in presenting it.

00:05:23.670 --> 00:05:28.459
Now take that different same person, but doing the process.

00:05:28.459 --> 00:05:31.084
This person went to bed early, intentionally.

00:05:31.084 --> 00:05:33.538
They set their alarm early.

00:05:33.538 --> 00:05:36.375
They ended up getting their workout in.

00:05:36.375 --> 00:05:39.223
They went and they had their time for gratitude.

00:05:39.223 --> 00:05:43.480
They went to the call, driving to the shop, listening to sales material.

00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.697
They went driving to the call, listening to sales material.

00:05:46.697 --> 00:05:48.079
They've been up.

00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:48.742
It's eight o'clock.

00:05:48.742 --> 00:05:50.165
They've been up for three, four hours.

00:05:50.206 --> 00:05:58.517
At this point, I Would trust that person, even with a worse presentation Than the one who came unprepared.

00:05:58.517 --> 00:06:02.480
Because you cannot give away what you don't have.

00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.603
You want to give away confidence to your clients, you want to exude confidence.

00:06:06.603 --> 00:06:08.189
You must have confidence first.

00:06:08.189 --> 00:06:13.002
It must be poured into you, and if no one pours it into you, where does it come from?

00:06:13.002 --> 00:06:15.394
Sometimes you got to tap your own thing.

00:06:15.394 --> 00:06:17.278
You got to pour into yourself.

00:06:17.278 --> 00:06:19.942
Sometimes you got to pull yourself up if you need to.

00:06:19.942 --> 00:06:31.463
The thing is is that in order to do this effectively, you need to say it is a great day, to have a great day, and truly believe it.

00:06:31.463 --> 00:06:33.776
Why do I think I say it so much?

00:06:33.776 --> 00:06:46.329
Because I know that if I act as if and I put the intention and I do the work, I am statistically far likelier to close.

00:06:46.329 --> 00:06:54.057
Then, if I just trust the talent, hmm, Really interesting and I can get that.

00:06:54.439 --> 00:07:16.497
You know, for someone who's maybe stuck in a negative period in the dark, I would say, like yin and yang, light and dark let's use the dark is a more Proper analogy here and to say, if you're stuck in the dark and you're feeling it harder to light that up, it can feel kind of counterintuitive and a little pushy even to just say, well, if I just say the magic words, if I just say it's a great day, then it's a fucking great day.

00:07:16.497 --> 00:07:17.920
Like what are you talking about, joe?

00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.259
Oh, dude, I'm right there with you, but okay, then you.

00:07:21.259 --> 00:07:32.399
But I also wanted to point out that this doctor I follow, psychologist he mentioned this in his content the other day and I thought, wow, that's profound.

00:07:32.420 --> 00:07:33.463
We forget this often.

00:07:33.463 --> 00:07:46.242
We're all receiving the world and this perspective that we're having right now through a major filter, and when I say major I mean like fucking major man.

00:07:46.242 --> 00:08:00.896
Out of the four million plus things, the bits of information that are around you right now, you're only capable of processing about 120, 120 to four million.

00:08:00.896 --> 00:08:04.209
That ratio is not really in your favor.

00:08:04.209 --> 00:08:18.742
What that means is that your program that you're running naturally the autopilot is Is deleting and filtering different bits of information and Running them through a lens of just how you see the world and how you're feeling right now.

00:08:18.742 --> 00:08:22.218
Exactly that points some stuff out.

00:08:22.218 --> 00:08:24.834
Right, it really does it really does.

00:08:25.115 --> 00:08:37.614
Like, speaking as someone who's fought and fights depression on a regular basis, you can get in this mindset where everything's awful and I found that's like yeah, you could Medicaid, you can do things you can.

00:08:37.614 --> 00:08:39.019
Like, yeah, there's always something to do.

00:08:39.019 --> 00:09:00.755
But the biggest successes that I found with it is being able to say I'm going to change how I look at something until it changes for me, until I'm gonna look at the same object every day with the intention of changing it until it eventually does change, because you're changing your inputs to change your outputs.

00:09:00.755 --> 00:09:04.673
Not everyone goes to a PLC cabinet and just says I'm gonna turn it off, turn it back on.

00:09:04.673 --> 00:09:07.389
It's like, no, we're gonna get the ladder logic out, we're gonna figure this thing out.

00:09:07.389 --> 00:09:11.018
Inputs, better inputs, lead to better outputs.

00:09:11.018 --> 00:09:13.787
We just need to remember that.

00:09:14.522 --> 00:09:15.466
It's a good way to look at it.

00:09:15.466 --> 00:09:20.010
I would also add that we experience the world through multiple senses.

00:09:20.010 --> 00:09:25.889
Right, there's really a vague hog, is sort of an acrim.

00:09:25.889 --> 00:09:33.019
But your visual, auditory and kinesthetic would be your first and foremost, and then your smell and your taste would be after that.

00:09:33.019 --> 00:09:48.614
Now, not often do we relate things to taste, but if you ever had a smell, joe, in your life, where you went back to some place, where maybe you grew up as a child and you smelled something and immediately you were like holy cow.

00:09:48.614 --> 00:09:54.773
I remember running up this hill with a cape on, pretending I was Superman, just 30 years ago.

00:09:55.640 --> 00:09:56.803
So I actually have.

00:09:56.803 --> 00:10:01.251
One of my gifts is that I have the ability of remembering and recalling smells.

00:10:01.251 --> 00:10:25.029
So, like I can close my eyes and remember going to my grandma, I can visually close my eyes, put myself in my grandpa's house, open the drawers smell the oak wood as well as all the old smell of clothes inside of it, and I can remember that smell and it goes right back into it.

00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:33.331
I love that you use that metaphor right there, because the home that we live in we actually got.

00:10:33.331 --> 00:10:34.273
We're renting.

00:10:34.273 --> 00:10:38.335
In this area where I'm living right now, real estate's out of control and I don't trust it.

00:10:38.335 --> 00:10:39.019
We're renting currently.

00:10:39.019 --> 00:10:45.753
When we walked into this house, it was right after my grandfather passed and it smelled like his house.

00:10:45.753 --> 00:11:06.946
Wow, and you know supporting our point here today too, I don't notice the smell every moment of every day because I'm in the house, but if we leave for a few hours, if we go to someone else's house and come back, I always smell it for that little bit, and that's important here.

00:11:06.946 --> 00:11:15.993
Our exposure to something full time or for a long period of time then removes our ability to recognize it.

00:11:15.993 --> 00:11:24.952
Grandpa, in essence, is still here, but I'm not able to pay attention to it until I call attention to it.

00:11:24.952 --> 00:11:27.988
What does that say about your moods?

00:11:27.988 --> 00:11:31.287
What does that say about how you're viewing your current situation?

00:11:31.287 --> 00:11:33.432
If, like we said, you woke up on the wrong side of the bed?

00:11:35.121 --> 00:11:35.482
Honestly.

00:11:35.482 --> 00:11:40.933
That's one of the reasons why we focus so much on the gratitude, because I've woken up on the wrong side of the bed many a day.

00:11:40.933 --> 00:11:42.312
You have a bad night.

00:11:42.312 --> 00:11:45.205
The girls keep you awake, the babies crying.

00:11:45.205 --> 00:11:45.667
You get it.

00:11:45.667 --> 00:11:53.893
Things are going to happen, you're going to have a rough morning, but unless you call attention to what you want to find, you won't find it.

00:11:54.841 --> 00:11:57.690
I want to be a person who exudes peace and gratitude.

00:11:57.690 --> 00:12:07.753
I cannot be that person unless I immerse it, and if I don't have someone to immerse in, I must become that person.

00:12:07.753 --> 00:12:10.990
That's how you get out of your funk.

00:12:10.990 --> 00:12:13.980
It's easy to say act as if I get that.

00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:20.019
I acknowledge that some of you guys are listening to this or like well, that won't work for me because it's not as easy.

00:12:20.019 --> 00:12:21.264
You don't understand my situation.

00:12:21.264 --> 00:12:28.168
I'm telling you from all the experiences I've had in my life, all the things I've done.

00:12:28.168 --> 00:12:35.019
I know for a fact that it's the inputs that need to be changed.

00:12:35.019 --> 00:12:39.951
It's not the bottle that you have, it's not the financial situation you're running through.

00:12:39.951 --> 00:12:46.908
It's can you change how you're willing to look at a situation until that situation can become something you want better?

00:12:46.908 --> 00:12:49.918
Can you find the good in that moment?

00:12:51.010 --> 00:12:59.240
Yeah, and you you were speaking to like that peacefulness and that bliss, and I want to relate this back to these five senses again.

00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:05.222
I've got a bit of a challenge for you guys could consider this one of the big action items for today.

00:13:05.222 --> 00:13:08.177
Think back with us for a moment.

00:13:08.177 --> 00:13:14.409
Think back to a moment where you made you know to be relevant here a couple of big sales.

00:13:14.409 --> 00:13:19.794
I Would be feeling after that you had a good day, you made a couple of sales.

00:13:19.794 --> 00:13:22.354
Our client won Just this week.

00:13:22.354 --> 00:13:24.120
Monday had a 13k day.

00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.409
The next day started with another 6k sale.

00:13:26.409 --> 00:13:28.398
I want to say good start to the week.

00:13:28.398 --> 00:13:29.240
It's feeling good.

00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:30.485
We say one how you feeling?

00:13:30.485 --> 00:13:31.408
He says confident.

00:13:31.408 --> 00:13:34.078
Baby, it's so easy when you're this confident.

00:13:34.078 --> 00:13:35.874
You ever feel that way.

00:13:35.933 --> 00:13:40.629
Joe, I do and I have a specific story that I can tell that would help lend to that.

00:13:42.374 --> 00:13:44.958
Okay, I just don't want to lose track of where I'm going with this.

00:13:44.958 --> 00:13:46.302
Go ahead, go with it then.

00:13:46.302 --> 00:13:47.004
Okay.

00:13:47.004 --> 00:13:50.475
There's sensory involved in confidence.

00:13:50.475 --> 00:13:59.542
What we describe as confident is just how we've summarized a feeling of multiple censories to this glow that we have.

00:13:59.542 --> 00:14:02.539
But if you think about that, I can picture one.

00:14:02.539 --> 00:14:06.615
In this case the Sun was probably shining, probably a smile ear to ear.

00:14:06.615 --> 00:14:11.669
He's looking out the window, driving down the road to the next call, thinking nothing could touch me.

00:14:11.669 --> 00:14:14.159
Today's a great day and no one can take that from me.

00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.529
There were smells attached to that.

00:14:16.529 --> 00:14:19.434
There's a feeling, a kinesthetic feeling.

00:14:19.434 --> 00:14:20.878
There's things he saw.

00:14:20.878 --> 00:14:24.445
Maybe it was a weather, maybe it's that, that area, that neighborhood.

00:14:24.445 --> 00:14:30.529
All of that is stored, information that you can access again at a later time.

00:14:30.529 --> 00:14:32.775
That's the point I wanted to make.

00:14:32.775 --> 00:14:34.159
Do you still have your bit there, joe?

00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:34.942
Do you want to try and do it?

00:14:35.931 --> 00:14:44.777
So I can tell you the first generator ever sold and I can tell you everything that happened sensory wise, driving home, because it's become a core memory.

00:14:44.777 --> 00:14:50.254
Super you the top sale he ended up at the time it was.

00:14:50.254 --> 00:14:53.302
I put together options and I remember it was one of the sensor.

00:14:53.302 --> 00:14:55.157
I'm like I'm gonna run this plan, I'm gonna figure this out.

00:14:55.157 --> 00:14:58.976
It was an eleven thousand three hundred and sixty dollars sale.

00:14:58.976 --> 00:15:02.724
I remember that to the deal because I remember everything that went into it.

00:15:03.312 --> 00:15:04.839
We were standing on his back porch.

00:15:04.839 --> 00:15:07.029
His porch was tan treks.

00:15:07.029 --> 00:15:11.105
I remember the feeling underneath it because I took my boots off and we were had our.

00:15:11.105 --> 00:15:11.970
We had our two socks.

00:15:11.970 --> 00:15:14.956
I remember the feeling of the heat on my socks.

00:15:14.956 --> 00:15:20.889
I remember he had a very particular cologne as we were shaking his hands.

00:15:20.889 --> 00:15:31.456
I remember his hand felt particularly smooth for a retired person and I remember going through and I remember leaving and Having the sun on the back of my neck.

00:15:32.298 --> 00:15:42.340
I remember getting into the van and grabbing the steering wheel and clenching it, being so happy, and I can remember the sound of the steering wheel as I was crunching it back and forth.

00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:45.210
I remember the sound of my van as I was driving.

00:15:45.210 --> 00:15:48.049
I remember the bumps leaving his property.

00:15:48.049 --> 00:15:59.333
There are certain memories that stay with us and the reason why I've kept that memory because I remember I didn't think I could do it At the time.

00:15:59.333 --> 00:16:00.599
Remember I was a shitty salesperson.

00:16:00.599 --> 00:16:05.741
This was my first top option sale I had ever gotten in my entire life.

00:16:05.741 --> 00:16:09.760
It's my first platinum ever and it happened to be my first generator sale ever.

00:16:10.913 --> 00:16:12.163
Can I call attention to something?

00:16:12.163 --> 00:16:22.234
Yeah, a A celebrating that moment happened because it all led to this mm-hmm these small, little inputs and outputs daily Amount to bigger outputs.

00:16:22.274 --> 00:16:23.116
This is incredible.

00:16:23.116 --> 00:16:24.860
So thank you for sharing that with us.

00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:37.870
If you're watching this live on Facebook with us on YouTube Maybe you're watching the video then what you just witnessed is Joe tell a story where he literally was smiling ear to ear the entire time.

00:16:37.870 --> 00:16:52.943
So we've actually just physically proven the attachment to the sensory, to the feeling, and so we've also physically proven that you can take control back, just on the show, with what just happened.

00:16:52.943 --> 00:16:54.394
That was not rehearsed.

00:16:54.394 --> 00:16:55.859
We always show up and just speak.

00:16:55.859 --> 00:17:00.640
I Haven't seen Joe smile that much for that long.

00:17:00.640 --> 00:17:01.884
Well, you know what I mean.

00:17:01.884 --> 00:17:05.596
Like you couldn't make that up and you can do the same.

00:17:05.596 --> 00:17:14.501
You might not be feeling willing to do that in a moment, but just knowing you can take control back is the beginning of this superpower.

00:17:15.570 --> 00:17:18.958
Mm-hmm by being able to tap into those moments.

00:17:18.958 --> 00:17:21.143
That's a meditative state.

00:17:21.143 --> 00:17:37.759
From what Joe said, he can actually run the pre-arrival script play, rather not the script, but pre-arrival process go through his steps, close his eyes in the van and mental preparedness, smile and clench the steering wheel like he did.

00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.227
He can reimagine this, the smell.

00:17:40.227 --> 00:17:42.777
You can reimagine the Sun on the back of your head.

00:17:42.777 --> 00:17:45.163
Gosh, that feels nice, doesn't that, mm-hmm?

00:17:45.163 --> 00:17:50.779
And you're back in this state, a State of I just made my biggest sale.

00:17:50.779 --> 00:17:57.123
Isn't that a person who's better equipped to go make and run an incredibly solid play right now?

00:17:58.410 --> 00:18:03.517
the thing is is the way my brain works is I was in that moment.

00:18:03.517 --> 00:18:22.203
I didn't even realize I was smiling, just so, you know, like that smile was 100% authentic because, as I was in that moment, like even just thinking about it now, it was the most elating feeling and I honestly think it's going to lead to our action items, because I've got a really good one based off that.

00:18:22.786 --> 00:18:24.605
Yeah, man, I can't blame you for that.

00:18:24.605 --> 00:18:48.022
I want to tie in one more thing, because we've tied this into a meditative state and honestly, I would guess the percentage of guys out there actually making meditation a part of their day would be 20% or fewer, but at the highest level of business, of sales, it would be 80%, if not 95%, like 95%, of that top 5% of salesman.

00:18:48.022 --> 00:19:02.867
100% confidence around this meditate, and they do so daily and they'd use this kind of trick to help access that kind of feeling before they go run a big nerve racking play.

00:19:02.867 --> 00:19:07.428
You have to take control, you have to be consistent.

00:19:07.428 --> 00:19:08.269
How else could you do it?

00:19:08.269 --> 00:19:10.323
We're all human, we all face this.

00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:14.924
And here's my proof of this concept I learned to freedive.

00:19:14.924 --> 00:19:28.804
I have a master certificate in freediving, which ultimately means I spent what it was like six days in Thailand, in Kotao, learning to freedive, my deepest dive for me.

00:19:28.804 --> 00:19:38.333
I wasn't perfect by any means and I preferred to do it in one certain way because I had equalization problems in my ears.

00:19:38.333 --> 00:19:49.369
Now I'm not going to go into the finer details of that, but the trick to freediving is actually being not in the ocean but in a meditative state.

00:19:49.369 --> 00:20:05.520
So even in a situation where I'm about to go 30 meters beneath the surface, which is about 100 feet metric inversion there, and I know that my ears aren't adjusting well, so I have to be mindful of that as I go down.

00:20:05.520 --> 00:20:15.170
You've got to continually relieve and pop those ears right, and what I've got playing in my head, though, is not freediving.

00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:21.132
It's a moment that's similar to me, which is one of my proud moments of my life that just came up.

00:20:21.132 --> 00:20:24.328
I shared it on my story this week because it's been 11 years.

00:20:24.328 --> 00:20:26.365
It's this little video, joe.

00:20:26.365 --> 00:20:30.848
Remember what I took of my daughter when she was three?

00:20:30.848 --> 00:20:39.192
And she's just this little bundle of joy at that point, like complete ray of sunshine, and I shit you not.

00:20:39.192 --> 00:20:40.826
I cannot watch this video.

00:20:40.826 --> 00:20:42.306
I'll probably prove it here in a second.

00:20:42.306 --> 00:20:49.428
I can't watch that video without tearing up, and all it is the sun's shining.

00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:58.413
It starts with her hanging off the plastic Dodge Ram door handle, and I'm like, hey, that's not for hanging, what are you doing?

00:20:58.413 --> 00:21:09.866
She pops off in a crow you know cause and she spins quick and the sun's in her hair and the wind, and she huh, and I said what was that?

00:21:09.866 --> 00:21:11.564
She goes a bird.

00:21:11.564 --> 00:21:14.761
I said, really, where is it?

00:21:14.761 --> 00:21:18.231
And then she sneezes and I went oh bless you.

00:21:18.231 --> 00:21:21.923
And she says I don't know.

00:21:21.923 --> 00:21:25.848
I heard it, though, and look, I'm literally waterworks.

00:21:26.409 --> 00:21:30.615
I can put myself in this moment, and that's what I would do in free diving.

00:21:30.615 --> 00:21:33.184
Again, I would have to take control.

00:21:33.184 --> 00:21:41.804
And the next thing, you know, I found myself 100 feet below the surface and I open my eyes and it's dark.

00:21:41.804 --> 00:22:06.394
And I look up and there's a rope beside me and there's light, and, due to negative buoyancy, you got to work a bit hard to get up and at some point the buoyancy shifts and you're like rocket man, like you're on the moon and you're just floating, and at the same time, you're panicking a little because you're it's a minute and a half underwater.

00:22:06.394 --> 00:22:18.903
Now you get to the surface, you take a deep breath and you go wow, that's the power of taking mental control, that's the power of meditation.

00:22:18.903 --> 00:22:23.872
You can do incredible things if you learn this little hack.

00:22:23.872 --> 00:22:27.728
Please, joe, help us with that action item.

00:22:28.661 --> 00:22:39.736
So the action item I had is that it actually you set it up perfectly is that every one of us, no matter how dark you feel your life is, has a bright spot in your mind?

00:22:39.736 --> 00:22:43.788
Every one of us has a bright spot For me.

00:22:43.788 --> 00:22:46.232
I remember my daughter being born.

00:22:46.232 --> 00:22:50.910
I remember both my daughters being born, but I remember my first daughter was born.

00:22:50.910 --> 00:22:55.108
I remember that's the day I became a dad and that's the day my life turned around.

00:22:56.601 --> 00:23:16.376
And my all star action for you guys is that I want you to not only just identify it, but I want you to actively and consciously try to access that memory, to the extent of try to literally imagine you putting yourself back into your shoes and look around in that memory.

00:23:16.376 --> 00:23:25.674
The reason why I say look around in that memory is because we actually have stored so much peripheral data that your brain is filtering out.

00:23:25.674 --> 00:23:32.759
But the more you remember that peripheral data, the real are the memory becomes, the easier it is to access.

00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:38.031
So my question for you and my challenge for all of you is one grab your memory.

00:23:38.031 --> 00:23:41.384
Two, can you tell me something?

00:23:41.384 --> 00:23:43.608
You see, something, you smell?

00:23:43.608 --> 00:23:48.903
You may not be able to taste anything, okay fine, but can you feel something?

00:23:49.723 --> 00:23:50.684
Is the sun out?

00:23:50.684 --> 00:23:52.126
What's the weather?

00:23:52.126 --> 00:23:53.689
What are you wearing right now?

00:23:53.689 --> 00:23:54.830
How does it feeling?

00:23:54.830 --> 00:23:56.373
What's around you?

00:23:56.373 --> 00:23:57.054
What are you hearing?

00:23:57.054 --> 00:23:58.174
What are you looking at?

00:23:58.174 --> 00:24:07.404
If you can do those things, that memory becomes closer and closer to the surface, similar how Clay's talking about negative pressure.

00:24:07.404 --> 00:24:11.192
Right now, that memory is deep, that oppression is keeping it down.

00:24:11.192 --> 00:24:23.688
It's got a fight to get up, but once it gets up, the negative buoyancy will release and it will come constantly to the top and it will want to float up and I encourage you to help it float.

00:24:26.340 --> 00:24:27.301
We went deep here today.

00:24:27.301 --> 00:24:29.243
Pun intended, joe.

00:24:29.243 --> 00:24:55.315
I can say this with confidence if you mastered this one thing, if you knew how to take control, if you learned that from us today and began, you know even the pursuit of greater knowledge and understanding of this one thing, so that you could control your outputs and eventually make them your inputs, so that you can have and make every day a great day, then that would be life changing, wouldn't it?

00:24:56.481 --> 00:24:56.883
You know what?

00:24:56.883 --> 00:24:59.309
It is a great day to have a great day, don't you think?

00:24:59.980 --> 00:25:00.461
It is man.

00:25:00.461 --> 00:25:14.584
This has been another episode and another week of Electricpreneurs Secrets, the Electricians podcast, where we show up with you five days each week to help you master your sales, simplify your pricing and master your mindset.

00:25:14.584 --> 00:25:17.627
Apparently, today, we'll see you guys again next week.

00:25:17.627 --> 00:25:18.249
Thanks, joe.

00:25:18.249 --> 00:25:19.109
Talk to you soon.

00:25:19.109 --> 00:25:21.111
Thank you, thank you, have a great day.
