17 00:00:57,211 --> 00:00:59,521 How do men like us reach our full potentials? 18 00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:04,051 Growing to the men we dream of being while taking care of our responsibilities, 19 00:01:04,411 --> 00:01:08,821 working, being good husbands, fathers, and still take care of ourselves? 20 00:01:09,781 --> 00:01:12,841 Well, that's the big question in this podcast. 21 00:01:13,186

time listeners. 32 00:01:39,846 --> 00:01:41,701 Hey, thanks for giving us a shot, guys. 33 00:01:41,791 --> 00:01:43,051 I hope you enjoy the show. 34 00:01:43,291 --> 00:01:44,671 I'd love to hear what you think about it. 35 00:01:44,911 --> 00:01:47,131 My name is Brent and I am the fallible man. 36 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,140 Now in life we can see successful people have some special things in common. 37 00:01:53,821 --> 00:01:57,661 It's not only about being talented or lucky, it's also 38 00:01:57,661 --> 00:01:59,250 about doing things intentionally. 39 00:01:59,761 --> 00:02:02,701 In fact, you'll find that most successful people aren't 40 00:02:02,701 --> 00:02:04,351 necessarily talented or lucky. 41 00:02:04,890 --> 00:02:08,520 They just have great work ethics, and they're intentional about their 42 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,620 choices to help them reach their goals. 43 00:02:11,251 --> 00:02:14,221 Today we're gonna look at six strategies that successful people use. 44 00:02:15,031 --> 00:02:19,081 These strategies aren't just rules follow, they're like invitations to create a 45 00:02:19,081 --> 00:02:21,001 life that's full of meaning and success. 46 00:02:21,031 --> 00:02:25,231 So you should probably take notes as you go or listen to this a second time. 47 00:02:25,231 --> 00:02:29,701 Whatever you need for managing digital distractions to being thankful. 48 00:02:29,731 --> 00:02:33,301 Each of these strategies is like a piece of a puzzle, helps make a 49 00:02:33,301 --> 00:02:35,251 picture of success and hard work. 50 00:02:36,916 --> 00:02:39,646 Morning Rich number one morning ritual mastery. 51 00:02:40,185 --> 00:02:43,456 Successful individuals often begin their days with a purposeful 52 00:02:43,516 --> 00:02:47,326 morning ritual, assess the tone for productivity and positivity. 53 00:02:47,745 --> 00:02:51,706 In fact, it's actually one of the most searched things on YouTube 54 00:02:51,976 --> 00:02:56,266 is people looking up the morning rituals of guys like, uh, Andrew 55 00:02:56,266 --> 00:03:01,786 Tate and Grant Cardone and Gary V and Elon Musk and some of these guys. 56 00:03:02,731 --> 00:03:05,190 Well, a lot of people choose to hit the snooze button. 57 00:03:05,671 --> 00:03:07,801 You can craft your own morning routine. 58 00:03:07,831 --> 00:03:12,571 That includes exercise, meditation, goal setting, reading, and ensures you 59 00:03:12,571 --> 00:03:15,900 start each day with positive intention. 60 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,310 I actually had one guest on the show before, and I'll see if I can put 61 00:03:20,310 --> 00:03:23,280 that in the show notes, that episode, but that's all he talks about. 62 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,650 He wrote an entire book about morning routines. 63 00:03:26,371 --> 00:03:28,231 I promise it's not all hype. 64 00:03:28,231 --> 00:03:30,361 You keep hearing about it, people keep searching for it. 65 00:03:30,721 --> 00:03:33,961 It really does matter, and it really can help you be more successful. 66 00:03:34,576 --> 00:03:37,636 Number two, selective digital detox. 67 00:03:38,176 --> 00:03:43,036 Now you've heard me rail against smart devices and I use them every day. 68 00:03:43,336 --> 00:03:47,536 Many successful people limit their digital distractions in order 69 00:03:47,536 --> 00:03:49,486 to enhance focus and creativity. 70 00:03:50,116 --> 00:03:53,746 Instead of mindlessly scrolling through social media, you can designate 71 00:03:53,746 --> 00:03:58,846 specific times for checking emails and social platforms with time limits. 72 00:03:59,566 --> 00:04:03,196 Embrace regular digital detox periods to reclaim valuable time. 73 00:04:03,571 --> 00:04:08,341 For more meaningful pursuits, it actually really does impact your creativity to 74 00:04:08,341 --> 00:04:15,121 overconsume, and that actually takes a lot of steam out of very possible 75 00:04:16,081 --> 00:04:17,821 projects that people have in mind. 76 00:04:18,571 --> 00:04:22,351 They, they lose it because it, it impacts your creativity. 77 00:04:23,671 --> 00:04:27,091 Number three, learning sprint challenges. 78 00:04:27,961 --> 00:04:31,731 I love these successful individuals prioritize continuous learning. 79 00:04:32,955 --> 00:04:33,585 Duh. 80 00:04:34,066 --> 00:04:34,546 Right. 81 00:04:34,906 --> 00:04:38,895 However, create the way they do it is actually more effective 82 00:04:39,226 --> 00:04:40,786 because they're busy, right? 83 00:04:41,145 --> 00:04:44,656 So create a learning sprint challenge by dedicating a specific 84 00:04:44,661 --> 00:04:51,676 period to immerse yourself in a new skill or topic to read a book. 85 00:04:51,676 --> 00:04:53,626 Take online on online course. 86 00:04:53,895 --> 00:04:54,796 Attend a workshop. 87 00:04:54,856 --> 00:04:56,086 Track your progress. 88 00:04:56,536 --> 00:04:57,856 Now, this can be done. 89 00:04:58,651 --> 00:05:01,831 Like I said, it's a sprint, so this can be a month if you have that kind 90 00:05:01,831 --> 00:05:05,461 of time or a week or even a weekend. 91 00:05:05,821 --> 00:05:08,611 It doesn't have to be months on end. 92 00:05:08,611 --> 00:05:13,231 You don't have to take, go take a college course, but you can sit down 93 00:05:13,231 --> 00:05:15,931 for a weekend and hit a bootcamp. 94 00:05:16,516 --> 00:05:22,306 Or attend a workshop or a course, and just deep dive into this to improve yourself. 95 00:05:22,756 --> 00:05:27,136 The focus burst of learning can help lead to impressive personal, 96 00:05:27,136 --> 00:05:32,116 professional growth, and you can scale it to work within your life. 97 00:05:33,046 --> 00:05:38,296 Number four, fear facing adventures to stand out of the crowd. 98 00:05:38,626 --> 00:05:41,116 Embrace calculator risks and challenges. 99 00:05:41,806 --> 00:05:44,596 Successful people regularly step out of their comfort zones. 100 00:05:45,211 --> 00:05:49,111 Whether it's public speaking, joining a group like Toastmasters, 101 00:05:49,411 --> 00:05:55,081 traveling alone or laughing, launching creative projects, they actively seek 102 00:05:55,086 --> 00:05:57,331 opportunities that scare 'em a little bit. 103 00:05:58,051 --> 00:06:02,010 These experiences can build resilience or expand your horizons. 104 00:06:02,911 --> 00:06:09,361 I was just, uh, looking into a future guest for the work for the podcast, 105 00:06:09,871 --> 00:06:14,371 and I was looking through his Instagram feed and he owns a building company. 106 00:06:14,371 --> 00:06:14,431 I. 107 00:06:14,776 --> 00:06:18,646 And he was up on the roof with one of his guys and he is terrified of heights. 108 00:06:18,886 --> 00:06:21,046 He was like, you see this, guys, see this? 109 00:06:21,796 --> 00:06:25,786 I'm scared outta my mind right now, but I'm up here 'cause it's my job to take 110 00:06:25,791 --> 00:06:27,736 care of my guys and he needs me up here. 111 00:06:29,445 --> 00:06:29,926 Okay? 112 00:06:30,256 --> 00:06:32,626 That's why some people do Tough Motors and Spartans. 113 00:06:32,836 --> 00:06:37,366 Do something that scares you a little bit, knocks you out of your comfort zone. 114 00:06:38,851 --> 00:06:40,951 And then you can go back to your comfort zone a little bit and 115 00:06:40,951 --> 00:06:42,511 process what you've experienced. 116 00:06:43,381 --> 00:06:46,831 Number five, decisive decision journaling. 117 00:06:47,701 --> 00:06:54,271 Indecisiveness can hinder progress beyond calculations. 118 00:06:54,511 --> 00:06:59,431 You have no idea how much indecisiveness has actually probably keeping you from 119 00:06:59,761 --> 00:07:01,381 achieving some of the things you wanna do. 120 00:07:02,251 --> 00:07:04,441 Adopt the habit of decision journaling. 121 00:07:05,296 --> 00:07:10,546 Record major decisions that you made, the reasons behind them and the outcome. 122 00:07:11,416 --> 00:07:14,566 Reflecting on your choices over time will refine your decision making 123 00:07:14,566 --> 00:07:19,366 skills, empowering you to make better choices with greater confidence. 124 00:07:19,696 --> 00:07:26,446 And if efficiency, if the decision doesn't go well, you can break that 125 00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:30,256 down and understand and learn from that as well as your successes. 126 00:07:30,766 --> 00:07:35,956 Either way, you win when you reanalyze your decision making. 127 00:07:37,636 --> 00:07:40,426 Number six is gratitude amplification. 128 00:07:41,266 --> 00:07:44,866 Successful individuals often practice gratitude as a way to 129 00:07:44,866 --> 00:07:46,516 maintain a positive mindset. 130 00:07:47,686 --> 00:07:51,836 Living with gratitude makes everything better Guys. 131 00:07:52,906 --> 00:07:57,736 Take this step further by creating a gratitude amplification pro practice. 132 00:07:58,455 --> 00:08:02,236 Each day, write down three things that you're thankful for and 133 00:08:02,476 --> 00:08:04,275 why they bring joy to your life. 134 00:08:04,275 --> 00:08:05,716 Why you're grateful for them, right? 135 00:08:05,721 --> 00:08:07,126 Why they made your day better. 136 00:08:07,666 --> 00:08:10,515 Heightened awareness of your blessings can boost your mood 137 00:08:10,936 --> 00:08:13,216 and overall sense of fulfillment. 138 00:08:15,135 --> 00:08:17,366 Guys, in the journey of life, success isn't. 139 00:08:17,955 --> 00:08:21,525 A far away Destin destination, but it's a road that's shaped 140 00:08:21,530 --> 00:08:23,535 by choices we make every day. 141 00:08:24,195 --> 00:08:27,226 The things we've talked about here aren't just ideas, they're tools that 142 00:08:27,231 --> 00:08:28,905 you can use to make your life better. 143 00:08:29,895 --> 00:08:33,856 Just like how successful people have their special ways, you can also build your own 144 00:08:33,856 --> 00:08:39,045 path to success and model some of these practices that successful people have 145 00:08:39,045 --> 00:08:40,675 done and see where they fit in your life. 146 00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:42,780 Some of these may be perfect for you. 147 00:08:42,780 --> 00:08:43,831 Some of these may not. 148 00:08:44,371 --> 00:08:47,940 By using these practices, you're not only working towards doing well, but 149 00:08:47,940 --> 00:08:51,540 you're also making your life more purposeful and bright along the way. 150 00:08:51,930 --> 00:08:56,731 Just like sun rises at the beginning of a new day, you're just setting a new pace 151 00:08:56,731 --> 00:08:59,101 every single day for success in your
