Order of Man - Make the Most of 2024 ｜ FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

00:00:00.000 You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears and boldly charge

00:00:04.980 your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time.

00:00:10.460 You are not easily deterred or defeated. Rugged. Resilient. Strong. This is your life. This is

00:00:17.060 who you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,

00:00:22.780 you can call yourself a man. Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan

00:00:27.260 Nickler. I'm your host and the founder of the Order of Man podcast and movement. Welcome here

00:00:31.760 today. This is your Friday Field Notes. If you're new to the podcast, you're going to hear from me

00:00:36.380 and some thoughts I have for the next 20 or 30 minutes. But in addition to this Friday Field

00:00:41.500 Notes, we also do our Tuesday interview shows where I'm interviewing guys like Jocko Willink

00:00:46.620 and Grant Cardone and Tim Kennedy and Tim Tebow and Matthew McConaughey and Ben Shapiro. The list

00:00:54.580 goes on and on and on. David Goggins has been on the podcast. I mean, we have so many incredible men

00:01:00.800 that have joined us, which is a testament to the work that we're doing here and to the fact that

00:01:05.800 you're implementing what it is that we're sharing and the insights with regards to how to be a more

00:01:11.800 well-rounded, more competent, complete man. So glad you're tuning in. I'm going to share with you guys

00:01:18.600 today how to make the most of the new year. Obviously, we're winding down 2023 and we're

00:01:24.860 moving into 2024. There's a lot of guys who are questioning or asking or wondering or contemplating

00:01:31.080 how to make this year better than ever. One thing I often hear is on social media mostly is

00:01:37.400 how 2023 was our warm-up and 2024 is going to be the year to really take off. I want that.

00:01:45.220 I kind of chuckle when I see it because more often than not, it comes from a bunch of blowhards who

00:01:50.400 think they're going to do something different in 2024 than they did in 2023, but the reality

00:01:55.540 paints an entirely different picture. I do not want you to be that blowhard. I don't want you to be

00:02:00.640 that guy who just talks a big game but doesn't actually implement it. So today, I'm going to share

00:02:07.220 with you five key things that you can do in order to actually make 2024 your year, not just post the

00:02:17.000 same thing you did 12 months ago about how you were warming up this year. Enough with the warming up.

00:02:22.600 You're stretched, you're warm, you're ready to go. Let's make 2024 the best year ever. A couple of

00:02:27.340 things before we get started. Number one, we've got our merchandise. I'm wearing one of our brand new

00:02:32.480 Order of Man beanies for the winter. This is called the Fisherman Beanie. We've got this color,

00:02:38.680 which is the rust color. We've got yellow. We've got blue. We've got black. We've got red. And I

00:02:45.140 think those are the five or six colors that we've got. But in addition to that, we've got t-shirts.

00:02:49.800 We've got battle planners, which is our number one seller. We've got decals. We've got patches.

00:02:54.420 If you want to support what we're doing, look good in the meantime and get after it with the

00:02:59.660 battle planner, then check it out at store.orderofman.com. And then the very last thing

00:03:03.780 I want to mention before I get into it today is that we have got our exclusive brotherhood,

00:03:09.740 the Iron Council, which is open officially as of the 15th of December. And we're shutting it down

00:03:15.120 on the 7th of January. We're closing it up. We're not letting anybody else in. So if you really,

00:03:21.100 really, really want to make 2024 your year, and you're not just spouting off on social media about

00:03:27.320 how 2024 is going to be your year, then make sure you check out the Iron Council at

00:03:32.860 orderaman.com slash Iron Council. And I would say one of the things with regards to the Iron Council,

00:03:38.520 one of the things that I hear often from guys who join us in the brotherhood is that they've been

00:03:43.920 thinking about it for years before they finally pulled the trigger. So here's the question I would

00:03:48.840 ask of you. Is 2023 better for you on a professional, personal, relational, spiritual perspective

00:03:59.540 than it has been over the last one, two, three years, however long you've been thinking about

00:04:04.780 joining the Iron Council? If the answer is no, it's the same or it's worse, then what are you waiting

00:04:10.540 for? All right, you got to do something different. And I know it's an investment. I know it's an

00:04:16.160 investment of money and time. I get all the hurdles. I get all the barriers. I get all the

00:04:21.160 obstacles. I get it. But if this year is the same as it was last year, which was the same as it was

00:04:26.100 the year before, damn, do something different. Please do something different. I've had to do that

00:04:30.120 in my own life and it pays huge, huge dividends. Orderaman.com slash Iron Council. All right,

00:04:35.320 guys, let's get into this. Making the most of the new year. Number one, you've got to make a plan.

00:04:41.100 So many men are just randomly throwing everything they possibly can at the wall just to see what

00:04:48.860 sticks. It's a waste of time. It's a waste of energy. It's futile. It doesn't work. Fellas,

00:04:57.320 make a freaking plan already. It doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't have to be flawless. It

00:05:03.400 doesn't have to be without things that might come up or challenges or obstacles or maybe just a

00:05:12.220 miscalculation of what it might be. It doesn't need to be perfect. Just make a damn plan,

00:05:18.740 please. I think George Patton said, I'm paraphrasing here, but a poor plan executed

00:05:27.100 is better than a plan not executed. Something to that effect. I butchered that. You guys can go

00:05:33.800 look that up. Just make a freaking plan. What does that actually look like? Because I don't want to

00:05:39.500 just leave you out in the dark and say, Hey, make a plan. Just do it. I actually want to give you

00:05:43.600 some advice. Here's what I would suggest to you. You focus in on four key areas of your life over the

00:05:49.800 next 90 days. That's it. That's all I need you to do. I don't need you to focus on 17 different things.

00:05:56.240 I don't need you to do 10 different things to achieve your optimal self in the next 60 days.

00:06:02.680 All I need you to do is four key objectives. Number one, calibration. Get yourself mentally,

00:06:10.420 emotionally, and spiritually right. If you're going to read the Bible every single day, great. If you're

00:06:15.340 going to journal every single day, great. Whatever you can do to get closer to realizing who you are and

00:06:22.340 who you're meant to be on a spiritual, mental, and emotional front. That's what we're talking

00:06:27.280 about. That's called calibration. You're calibrating yourself. You're getting an alignment with

00:06:32.000 yourself. Number two is your connections. That is your relationships with other people. And I don't

00:06:38.020 want you focusing on 37 different relationships. I want you focusing on one or two. If you are

00:06:43.160 struggling in your marriage, I want you to focus on the relationship with your wife for the next 90 days.

00:06:46.500 That's it. That's all I want you to focus on. Now, sure, you might have some other things,

00:06:50.560 some ancillary type relationships you have to deal with, your kids, friends, colleagues,

00:06:56.320 coworkers, clients, employees, et cetera. But I want you to double down on the relationship that

00:07:02.100 you have with your wife. It's the connections. Okay. Number three is your condition. That's your

00:07:07.900 physical wellbeing, your strength, your stamina, your recovery, your sleep, your nutrition,

00:07:12.160 your diet, your exercise, all of the things that have to do with this meat sack that we live in.

00:07:19.260 How are you going to make the most of your body? How are you going to optimize your body? How are

00:07:24.720 you going to lose fat? How are you going to build muscle? How are we going to be strong? How are you

00:07:29.180 going to be capable? How are you going to be recovered? How are you going to overcome the health

00:07:33.580 ailments that you might be dealing with? And I don't even care what those ailments are.

00:07:36.840 I care. Please don't misunderstand me. I care that you might be struggling with health.

00:07:43.020 You might be hung up. You might have a broken limb. You might be dealing with cancer. You might

00:07:48.540 be health. You might even be terminal. I care about that. But what I'm saying when I say I don't care

00:07:55.620 is I really don't think that whatever you might be dealing with is going to keep you from improving

00:08:02.580 your physical fitness. If you're a diabetic, you know, that might be a lifelong prognosis, but

00:08:08.960 should you eat better? Absolutely. You should manage your nutrition. Absolutely. You should lose 30,

00:08:16.100 40, 50 pounds. If you've got a limb that's either broken or dysfunctional and are not working. I had a

00:08:23.600 shoulder surgery last year. I couldn't use my shoulder. I got three other limbs I can use. I've got my

00:08:28.920 entire body. Just because this thing doesn't work doesn't mean the rest of me doesn't work. So get

00:08:35.280 after it. Stop creating all these excuses about, well, I'm diabetic. Well, I'm 50 pounds overweight.

00:08:41.200 Well, you know, I broke my leg. Well, I don't care about any of that. And you should either.

00:08:48.660 There's things that you can improve upon. There's things that you can work on right now to improve

00:08:52.740 your well-being that will pay dividends. And the last is contribution. Ultimately, this is becoming

00:08:58.480 a man of value. Man, if you see that woman next to you that she's a widower or she's a single mother,

00:09:06.840 whatever that might be, just go serve her. Please go mow her lawn. Go break her leaves. 1.00

00:09:12.220 Go drop her a basket of goodies. Go buy her a gift card to Walmart. I don't care. Help her. Please 1.00

00:09:20.280 help her. If you see a brother in need, you see a guy, you're walking down the street and you see this

00:09:25.080 guy and he's homeless. You might say, well, he should do his own thing. I get it. I understand.

00:09:29.360 I've been that way too. Just help the guy. Just pull out your wallet, throw a $20 in his basket.

00:09:37.140 You're not responsible for what he does with that. You're responsible for what you do as a

00:09:41.260 contributing member of society. You don't need accolades. You don't need notoriety. Leave that

00:09:46.800 waitress. You go out to dinner and you see this woman and you feel like you should leave her a big tip.

00:09:51.080 Leave her a big tip. Don't post it. Please don't post it on social media. I don't need to know you

00:09:55.680 did it. Nobody else needs to know you did it. Don't post that shit and just help her. Just be there.

00:10:02.360 Contribute. I mean, your community has done so much for you. Do something for the community.

00:10:07.100 And look, I know it's in vogue. It's popular to post that on social media and say, oh, look,

00:10:12.660 I left a $100 tip. I don't care about that. What I care about is that woman who can't buy Christmas gifts 1.00

00:10:20.640 for her kids because she's financially destitute gets a hundred dollars and she might be able to 0.99

00:10:26.420 buy her kids a brand new pair of pajamas or a blanket. That's what I care about. That's what

00:10:32.160 all of us, I think she care about. But ultimately the idea here is to make a plan in those four

00:10:36.960 quadrants. Again, it's calibration, connection, condition, and then contribution. All right.

00:10:43.240 Number two, guys, invest in yourself. So many guys want the return without the investment

00:10:50.340 because you can't realize a return without an investment. I had a bunch of people when I was

00:10:55.020 running my financial planning practice, they'd come in and they'd say, Ryan, you know, what's the

00:11:00.080 best return you can get me? My guy can get me 10%. Can you get me better than that? I'm like,

00:11:04.320 well, hold on a second. Let's see how much you're investing. And I would ask them, how much

00:11:07.320 are you investing now? And they'd say zero. Dude, I don't care if that guy got you 10% or 12%

00:11:12.600 or 100%. 100% of zero is zero. Elementary kids learned this in school. 100% of zero is zero.

00:11:27.320 Okay. What I'm saying here is that you need to start getting yourself in the game. Don't talk to me

00:11:33.760 about what I can do or what the Iron Council can do or what Jordan Peterson can do or what

00:11:39.320 Jocko Willey can do or what any of these people can do. If you're not willing to invest in yourself,

00:11:44.780 guys, put your money where your mouth is. Ryan, I'm broke. So was I.

00:11:51.160 When I was in my financial planning practice, before I decided to throw in the towel, I went to

00:11:55.140 one last seminar and I said, this is it. This has got to work. If this doesn't work, I'm out.

00:12:01.200 And I went there. I spent $1,500 to go there. I had to spend $1,500 to go there. And I had to buy

00:12:07.440 my plane ticket and my hotel and any food or whatever I wanted. I didn't have that kind of

00:12:13.180 money. I went out there. I spent $1,500. I put it on a damn credit card, spent $1,500. I went out

00:12:18.360 there and I was blown away by what I heard. And he said, you know what? I want another $5,000 from you.

00:12:24.520 I didn't have $1,500, let alone $5,000. And he wanted more from me. And I called my then wife

00:12:31.840 at the time. And I said, Hey, look, here's the deal. And she said, yeah, do it. I believe in you.

00:12:36.500 And so I wrote him a check for $5,000. And then I hurried and deposited a bunch of money from

00:12:40.980 different sources into my account. So that check would clear. And that spelled the difference

00:12:45.540 between success and failure in my financial planning practice, which ultimately led to starting a

00:12:52.200 podcast, which ultimately led to doing the order man podcast, which ultimately led to me selling my

00:12:59.000 financial planning practice, which the rest is history. Guys, invest in yourself. Believe in

00:13:06.400 yourself. Know that you can do it. You can. I believe in you. If I can do it, you can do it.

00:13:11.760 I'm not great. I'm not special. I'm not wonderful. I'm not more gifted. I don't have more connections.

00:13:15.660 I don't have more money than you. I'm not better than you. And I'm doing it. I truly believe that I'm

00:13:21.540 doing it, but I'm not doing it because I'm better. I'm doing it because I'm willing to invest in

00:13:25.900 myself. I believe in myself. I know that if I put money into something that it's going to work out.

00:13:30.480 I know that if I invest my time and resources and energy into something that it's going to yield

00:13:36.300 results, go to conferences, buy books. Damn. If you can't buy a book, go to the library. If you can't

00:13:42.780 invest in a program, listen to a podcast, sign up for an email, go to a conference. There is so much

00:13:48.660 you can do. Even within our organization, you can listen to this podcast. You can join the Iron

00:13:53.480 Council, which as I said earlier is open right now. You could go to one of our events. You could

00:13:59.680 buy our merchandise. You can sign up for our emails. There's like 17 different things you can do that

00:14:05.020 are all free within our organization. Don't tell me that you can't invest in yourself. It doesn't take

00:14:11.980 a lot. 20, 30, 40, 50, a hundred bucks a month, whatever it takes, man. Believe in yourself. I

00:14:18.640 believe in you. Believe in yourself enough that you can invest a hundred dollars a month. That's

00:14:23.760 nothing. And I'm not trying to discount what you guys are dealing with financially, but a hundred

00:14:28.400 dollars a month, 1200 a year. What if I told you, Hey, give me $1,200 this year. And in return,

00:14:35.440 I'll give you $50,000. I'll give you a hundred thousand dollars. How often would you make that

00:14:42.920 deal? Every day you'd make that deal. And yet you don't believe enough in yourself to make that kind

00:14:50.760 of deal. Go to the conference. The ticket's going to cost you 500 bucks. The plane flight's going to

00:14:57.000 cost you 400. You're out $900. Dude, the connection that you make at that event might yield you 900,

00:15:05.140 thousand dollars over the course of your lifetime. Enough with the playing small enough with the

00:15:12.580 not believing in yourself, believe in yourself, invest in yourself, put your money where your

00:15:17.220 mouth is, nut up, sack up, whatever you want to say, do it, please. Number three, prune the tree,

00:15:25.800 prune the tree about a quarter of a mile North of me, just right up the road. There's an LDS church.

00:15:34.240 Well, it used to be an orchard. It's not anymore. They tore all the trees down and now they lease

00:15:38.460 it out, but there used to be an orchard and it was a peach tree orchard. And part of what we would do

00:15:43.860 is we would go out there and we would prune the tree. We'd cut off all the excess and the extra and

00:15:49.300 then the, the, the, the non-important, we'd prune the trees and we prune the trees so that we could

00:15:55.540 focus all of the nutrients in the soil and nutrients in, in, in the, in the feed and nutrients

00:16:02.840 in the air and everything else that those peaches needed. We would prune all the excess so that the 0.99

00:16:08.120 few that were left would thrive. Guys, you need to prune your tree. All right. There's people in

00:16:15.600 your life, even close people, family members, colleagues, coworkers, employees who are just

00:16:20.200 sucking all the nutrients out of your life. And they're zapping all the energy out of your life

00:16:26.840 and they're making it miserable. And you might say to yourself, well, I really care about this

00:16:31.100 person. That's great. That's fine. That's wonderful. Then you can go back to what I was

00:16:35.980 saying earlier about giving that person money for charity, but that person doesn't need to be in

00:16:41.480 your life to the extent that they may be right now. You need to trim that shit out of your life.

00:16:47.500 You can't, you can't operate. If you have toxic people, you can't operate correctly and into your

00:16:53.080 full potential. If you have people weighing you down, imagine running a race. You just

00:16:57.960 qualified for the Olympics and you're going to run. I'm no track person, but let's say you're

00:17:03.120 going to run the, if a thousand meter run was a thing, let's say you're going to run a thousand

00:17:07.820 meters. Okay. Again, I'm not a track person. You're going to run a thousand meters and you got to

00:17:13.460 compete with these world-class athletes. And these people don't, they're ready to go. They're

00:17:18.600 trained. They're, they're, they're good. They're solid. They're as strong as they've ever been.

00:17:23.480 And you're strong, except for you got to carry three other people who are going to hold on to

00:17:27.240 your freaking waistband as you run. Are you going to win? Of course you're not. Guys cut these people

00:17:33.200 from your life. If you're upset, angry, even social media, the last, the last seven days I've cut

00:17:42.000 probably hundreds of people off of social media. I've unfollowed. I've blocked. I've just completely

00:17:49.700 just abandoned. I don't have time for that. I don't want to deal with that. If it makes me feel

00:17:55.020 upset or angry or riled up or pissed off, I'm done. I'm out. I'm out. I'm not doing this anymore.

00:18:01.380 And these are people that, you know, these are people I know. These are people I like.

00:18:05.240 These are people who have been mentors and coaches, and yet they're toxic. It's like sludge

00:18:10.320 in the drain. I'm not dealing with them anymore. I can't. I'm not willing to do it. And you shouldn't

00:18:16.380 be either. Prune the tree. If your sister is toxic, jump ship. You're done. If your parents

00:18:26.160 are toxic, jump ship. You're out. You don't know them anything. If there's friends that you've known

00:18:33.380 for 20, 30, 40 years, and they're toxic and they're dragging you down, they're weighing you down,

00:18:38.520 bail on that shit. We can't deal with that anymore. It's hard. I know. I get it. I've

00:18:44.600 done it in my own personal life. You feel a sense of duty and responsibility and obligation. These

00:18:48.720 people, they don't have any vested interest in you and you owe them nothing. The people that you

00:18:54.860 follow on social media that are making you angry and upset and riled up and pissed off, 0.66

00:18:59.580 block that shit. Get rid of that in your life. You don't need that. You don't need that.

00:19:04.200 All right. Number four, commit to mastery. I've been talking a lot about this over the past two

00:19:09.840 months. Mastery, doing everything perfectly. When I do this podcast, I'm genuine and sincere about it.

00:19:18.300 I'm all in on this thing. I don't let distractions get the better of me. My phone's nowhere in sight.

00:19:24.200 My lighting is right. The technology is right. I'm wearing this hat because I wanted to promote

00:19:28.320 one of our new hats. I've taken notes. You can actually see me. I'm looking at my notes right

00:19:34.020 now because I have notes. I'm prepared for this conversation. The audio is right. The visual is

00:19:40.820 right. Everything is right. It's where I want it to be. Do you think that just happened by just

00:19:47.580 happenstance? No, I was intentional about it. When my kids come over today at four o'clock,

00:19:54.660 we've got plans. They've got dinner prepped. I know what I'm going to do. We're going Christmas

00:19:59.640 shopping. We're going to go to the mall and I'm going to help them find some gifts for their mom.

00:20:04.680 That's planned. It's planned to perfection because perfection is what is required.

00:20:10.740 Now, some people say perfection is not achievable. That doesn't mean we can't strive towards mastery.

00:20:17.380 We can't strive toward doing it better than we did the day before. Do it the best you absolutely can.

00:20:23.620 If you go into the gym tomorrow morning, I want you to look your best. I want you to be ready.

00:20:29.260 Look, I want you to get up. I want you to brush your teeth. I want you to do your hair. I want you

00:20:33.020 to be deliberate, intentional about the clothing you wear that'll help you produce what you want

00:20:37.520 to produce. I want you to go in there. I want you to have a system. I want you to have your pre-workout

00:20:41.720 already pumping through your blood. Then I want you to execute flawlessly. I want you to do your

00:20:47.380 bench press and your squat and your deadlift and your pull-ups and your dips. I want you to do

00:20:51.500 those right. Then I want you to get back to your office or your work. I want you to spend time with

00:20:56.320 your family. I want you to make breakfast for them if that's your thing and journal if that's

00:21:01.360 for your thing and plan your day if that's your thing. Perfection is what is required.

00:21:11.020 Mastery in all things. If you feel like you can't master all things, what I would say to you

00:21:16.020 is get rid of some things. So many of us are tired and inundated. I've got a great conversation

00:21:23.100 with Michael Gervais. He's a psychologist and he did a lot of work with the Seattle Seahawks,

00:21:29.120 with the USC Trojans, and other elite warriors, athletes. This guy's incredible.

00:21:36.040 And we were talking about this. You've got to go to work and become a master in all that you do.

00:21:44.880 You've got to prune so that you can focus on what is important and you've got to go all in

00:21:50.360 on that thing. And then guys, the last thing that I would say to you, the first thing I said to you is

00:21:56.240 create a plan. The last thing I'm going to say to you is rework the plan. No plan is perfect.

00:22:02.960 Perfect. You're going to create a plan. In fact, I'll say it this way. Many of you are going to

00:22:07.060 create a plan and you're not going to do it because you know it's not perfect. I don't care

00:22:11.100 about any of that. I would just want you to do it and figure it out along the way. Because the last

00:22:16.160 step of what I'm going to share with you today is that you've got to rework the plan. You could have

00:22:20.120 the most flawless, perfect, beautiful, handcrafted plan that ever was created or devised by the mind of

00:22:27.080 men. And it's not going to work for you because God and life have different things to throw at you.

00:22:34.960 And so the last step, step number five of this is that you've got to rework the plan.

00:22:39.820 You've got to go back to the drawing board. You've got to identify what worked really well in your

00:22:44.760 favor and what didn't work at all. And then you've got to create a new plan so that you can move forward.

00:22:50.360 Too many guys believe that if they create a plan, they're locked into that thing forever. You're not.

00:22:54.480 It's just a strategy. It's just something you're going to employ and see if it works. This is a

00:22:59.800 process of experimentation. Life is a process of experimentation. If I do this, what will happen?

00:23:08.160 I would love to find out. And some of it's going to come to fruition and some of it's going to backfire

00:23:13.240 and some of it's going to slap you right across the face. It's just life. And so you get to take the

00:23:20.720 feedback, the pros, the cons, the good, the bad, the ugly, and decide what you're going to continue

00:23:26.560 to implement and what you're going to reject and what you're going to prune to point number three

00:23:31.420 from your life so that you can move forward and get better every single day. That's mastery point

00:23:35.980 number four. Guys, I believe in you. You may not even believe in you, but I do.

00:23:45.060 And I believe in you because I know that I've had my fair share of challenges just like you guys have.

00:23:51.200 And I've overcome those trials and hurdles and obstacles and setbacks and failures and struggles.

00:23:55.900 And I know you can too. I don't care what they are. I care what they are, but I don't care what

00:24:04.020 your excuses are. Maybe that's a better way to say it. And they're all excuses. You're terminally ill.

00:24:11.220 Okay. Let's deal with that. But in the meantime, what can you do to improve your life and leave a

00:24:16.000 legacy? You went through a divorce. Okay. I went through a divorce this year. It's horrible.

00:24:22.760 Perfect. I don't wish that upon anybody, but what can we do to make sure that the relationship that

00:24:27.940 we have with our kids and the working relationship that we have with our mother is good? And what can

00:24:32.080 we do to make sure that the next relationship we have is going to be better than the previous one?

00:24:37.260 You have a medical diagnosis. You got laid off from a job. You had a lawsuit. I care about what

00:24:45.760 those things are, but I don't care about your excuses. Then you shouldn't care about your

00:24:50.640 excuses. What you should care about is your path forward. All right, guys, that's what I've got

00:24:56.320 for you today. I hope that inspires you and isn't so much of a downer, but I hope it inspires you to

00:25:00.300 do more things in 2024 than you did in 2023. Let's recap. I'll give you a few marching orders and then

00:25:07.220 we'll wrap it up for the day. Number one, make a plan. It doesn't have to be perfect. It's just a plan

00:25:13.380 because you know what point number five is. So number one, make a plan. Number two,

00:25:17.560 invest in yourself. Spend a few hundred dollars, buy a plane ticket, go to that conference,

00:25:23.780 sign up for that email, sign up for the brotherhood, the iron council, order a man.com

00:25:28.000 slash iron council, invest in yourself. Number three, prune the tree, get rid of all the noise

00:25:32.800 and the nonsense and the chaos and clutter and distraction that you don't need in your life.

00:25:36.740 It's people. It's time that you spend. It's money that you're spending on Hulu subscriptions and

00:25:44.520 Disney. Prune all that shit. Number four, commit to mastery. If you don't feel like you can be a

00:25:50.700 master, then prune, prune, prune, prune until you become a master at the one or two or three or four

00:25:56.880 things that are important to you. And then number five, rework the plan because it's not going to work.

00:26:02.580 Whatever plan you create that I told you to create in point number one, it's not going to work the

00:26:07.320 way you want it to. I promise you it's not. Rework it. It's not going to be thrown away. It's just

00:26:13.020 rework it. Some of those things are going to work. Some of them aren't. Take what works, use it in your

00:26:17.960 next plan, take what doesn't work, throw in the trash can and move on knowing that you're going to

00:26:23.680 achieve better than you did before. Keep repeating this process. This is a process that you will do over

00:26:28.960 the next 50, 60, 70 years of your life. All right, guys, marching orders. Number one,

00:26:36.920 our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council, orderofman.com slash ironcouncil is open.

00:26:42.440 Point number two, invest in yourself. That's where this would tie in. Go watch a quick video,

00:26:48.440 go through some frequently asked questions and get your ass signed up, orderofman.com slash ironcouncil. 0.82

00:26:53.700 If you've been sitting around for six months or a year or five years, is your life better than it

00:27:00.260 was five years ago? If the answer is no, it's the same or it's worse, then damn, do something

00:27:05.640 different. Number two, check out the store. We've got the fisherman beanie. This is the rust color

00:27:11.160 fisherman. We've got battle planners. We've got shirts. We've got hats. We've got decals. We've got

00:27:16.520 stickers. We've got the beanie. We've got hoodies. We've got it all. Store at orderofman.com.

00:27:21.300 And I'll try to pump those out as quickly as I can. If I can get them out same day,

00:27:25.180 that's what we're going to try to do here as a team. Again, mastery. I don't want to wait two or

00:27:30.000 three or four days. I want to get it out today for you because I care about you guys. All right,

00:27:34.300 that's it. We'll be back next week for our interview. Make sure you subscribe. Check out
