Order of Man - The 3-Part Formula for Starting Something New ｜ FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

00:00:00.000 Most of the time when we take on a new project, again, we don't do it or we're afraid to do it because we're afraid of how we'll be perceived by other people. 1.00

00:00:10.400 It's the fear of looking foolish, looking stupid, looking dumb. 0.99

00:00:15.080 Again, we go back to expectations. 1.00

00:00:16.720 You will. 1.00

00:00:17.800 You will look foolish. 1.00

00:00:19.160 You will look silly. 1.00

00:00:20.160 You will say and do dumb things. 1.00

00:00:22.520 So that's part of the learning experience. 0.93

00:00:25.420 In order to be a professional, you have to be willing to be an amateur.

00:00:30.000 You're a man of action.

00:00:33.600 You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, and boldly chart your own path.

00:00:37.980 When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time.

00:00:42.420 You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong.

00:00:47.500 This is your life.

00:00:48.600 This is who you are.

00:00:49.980 This is who you will become.

00:00:51.340 At the end of the day, and after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.

00:00:56.700 Around this time of year, most men start thinking about how next year is going to be different.

00:01:03.660 They're thinking about new relationships, new business ventures, new projects, tasks, ideas, hobbies, interest, activities, etc.

00:01:12.260 But what I found is that there are so many men who not only do they not know how to start these things,

00:01:20.120 they let fear and uncertainty and doubt get in the way and keep them from having an otherwise successful, profitable, fulfilled year.

00:01:30.640 I'm sure you've been there where you've had an idea or something you've wanted to start

00:01:35.040 or maybe even something you've wanted to end or maybe you just want to get better at a thing,

00:01:39.620 whether it's personal or professional, but you're almost frozen by fear and doubt and worry and concern

00:01:45.900 and all of the uncertainties that come with taking on new projects and tasks and relationships.

00:01:52.060 So today what I want to do is share with you a very simple three-part formula that you can start thinking about

00:01:58.480 in order to go get that new job or start the podcast you've always wanted to

00:02:03.540 or write a book or ask that woman on a date or secure a promotion

00:02:08.380 or fill in the blank with whatever your goals and aspirations are.

00:02:12.160 The last thing I want is for you to struggle as we roll into the new year

00:02:16.360 and create a similar year to what you may have experienced this year if it wasn't the one that you wanted.

00:02:22.300 Now, if it was the one you wanted, we want to recreate that for you or have you recreate it for yourself.

00:02:27.440 Let's talk about this.

00:02:28.340 The first thing that we need to be aware of when we're starting new things,

00:02:31.520 whether it's, again, projects or assignments or tasks or businesses,

00:02:35.460 is that we have to have the proper mindset.

00:02:39.400 So many men run into imposter syndrome.

00:02:42.000 They believe that they're not worth engaging in this new project.

00:02:47.120 They don't think they're worthy of taking it on.

00:02:49.900 And a lot of the times they're looking at past experience and maybe past failures

00:02:53.900 and considering that what if I fail this time or what if people ridicule me and mock me

00:02:59.780 and what if it doesn't work out?

00:03:01.460 And all of that is a very real threat.

00:03:03.980 All of those could possibly exist.

00:03:06.540 I haven't really personally struggled too much with imposter syndrome

00:03:09.800 because my goal, and I'm not always the greatest at this,

00:03:14.780 but my goal is to just be genuine.

00:03:18.280 Just be who I am.

00:03:20.140 I'm not going to tell you that I'm the greatest podcaster in the world.

00:03:24.300 If I did, there might be a discrepancy between what I think of myself

00:03:28.600 and actually how I'm performing, which is where that imposter syndrome comes from.

00:03:33.780 If, on the other hand, I can accurately assess what I'm doing,

00:03:37.140 my strengths and my weaknesses, imposter syndrome doesn't seem to be that much of an issue.

00:03:42.800 If, for example, in the realm of podcasting, I said, I am a good podcaster.

00:03:48.300 I know this business well.

00:03:50.660 I have put together 1,500 plus shows at this point and developed a good skill set.

00:03:58.580 I still have room to improve and ways to communicate and articulate messages,

00:04:03.120 but I'm pretty good at this.

00:04:05.000 I think that's an accurate assessment.

00:04:06.560 Now, you might believe otherwise, but in this case, it doesn't really matter what you believe.

00:04:10.460 What matters is what I believe.

00:04:12.560 And if I'm being honest, then I'm not being an imposter.

00:04:15.680 I'm not faking myself or deceiving anybody else.

00:04:18.480 I'm just being genuine to who I am.

00:04:21.540 The other thing that we need to get over is that you can do this.

00:04:27.060 You might not have any success in whatever endeavor that you're about to pursue.

00:04:31.220 Let's say you're taking on a new role at work or you got a new job.

00:04:35.840 You might not have had any track record of success in doing that thing, but you have had a track record of success in other aspects of your life.

00:04:45.940 Other businesses, for example.

00:04:47.400 I remember when I started podcasting almost 10 years ago, I had fear.

00:04:52.220 I had doubt.

00:04:52.900 Like, what if this doesn't work out?

00:04:54.400 Those sorts of things.

00:04:56.820 It made me think of something else.

00:04:58.180 I'm just going to write this down so I don't forget that I want to share with you.

00:05:01.820 But yeah, I had fears and doubts and worries and concerns.

00:05:04.600 But I also knew that I had started a successful financial planning practice.

00:05:09.000 I had been successful with business and money.

00:05:11.280 I knew how to market at that point.

00:05:12.900 And so I was able to draw from that past experience and translate it over perfectly to the world of podcasting.

00:05:20.420 Now, there's a lot of learning that goes on and takes place.

00:05:22.780 But part of what I'm going to talk with you about is, and this is the thing I just wrote down, is that we have to change our expectation of how we'll perform.

00:05:33.340 Now, you might think that you're God's gift to whatever you're going to engage in, but the reality is going to paint an entirely different story.

00:05:41.580 It is amazing to me how often we, myself included, think too highly of ourselves.

00:05:51.700 We have these very weird, unrealistic expectations about how quickly we'll perform, how fast we'll learn,

00:05:59.300 how quickly we'll achieve the results that we're after.

00:06:03.820 And in my experience of 43 years on this planet, I can tell you that everything takes longer than I think it should or would like it to.

00:06:11.580 And everything's harder than I thought it would be.

00:06:14.380 And if we're honest and sincere about that, then we can move forward and do what needs to be done

00:06:20.460 and not be deterred by momentary setbacks, failures, or just not achieving the results as fast as we'd like.

00:06:27.820 So let's eliminate some of the expectations.

00:06:30.320 I'm sharing with you just mindsets right now.

00:06:32.260 Number one is you can do this.

00:06:34.460 Number two, drawing on past experience.

00:06:37.180 Number three, letting go of expectations.

00:06:39.900 And then number four, and my good friend Kip Sorensen brought this up on Wednesday's Ask Me Anything.

00:06:45.300 He said to drop the ego, and I completely agree with that.

00:06:49.680 Most of the time when we take on a new project, again, we don't do it or we're afraid to do it

00:06:55.100 because we're afraid of how we'll be perceived by other people.

00:07:00.400 There's a couple other reasons to be afraid, but primarily I think that's what keeps men from doing

00:07:05.360 what they want to do and what they want to engage in. 1.00

00:07:09.020 It's the fear of looking foolish, looking stupid, looking dumb. 1.00

00:07:13.540 Again, we go back to expectations. 1.00

00:07:15.300 You will. 1.00

00:07:16.640 You will look foolish. 1.00

00:07:17.800 You will look silly. 1.00

00:07:18.820 You will say and do dumb things. 1.00

00:07:21.240 So that's part of the learning experience. 0.93

00:07:24.180 In order to be a professional, you have to be willing to be an amateur.

00:07:29.240 So just embrace the idea that you don't know it all and drop the ego that says or is telling 0.99

00:07:35.580 you even subconsciously, don't do that because you're going to look dumb. 0.99

00:07:39.040 You have to program that out of your mind. 0.97

00:07:41.340 It is hard because it's biologically hardwired into us to consider the opinions of the people

00:07:47.340 around us.

00:07:48.000 That is a survival tactic.

00:07:50.720 A thousand years ago, 2,000 years ago, 10,000 years ago, being ostracized by the tribe meant

00:07:57.600 certain death.

00:07:59.180 It doesn't mean that today.

00:08:01.060 In fact, it doesn't even, that's not even on the radar for most people, but it's still

00:08:06.720 programmed into our psyche.

00:08:08.360 And we believe that if we're ostracized from the group, again, even subconsciously, that

00:08:13.120 life is over.

00:08:13.920 The world is over.

00:08:14.640 I'm going to lose access to resources.

00:08:16.080 I'm going to lose access to the woman I love.

00:08:18.900 I'm going to lose whatever it is that you're afraid of losing.

00:08:22.600 That none of that's going to happen as long as you're doing the right thing.

00:08:26.000 It's just, it's not going to happen when you put yourself in new positions and learn something

00:08:31.920 new.

00:08:32.300 So those are the mindsets.

00:08:34.560 Think about what's keeping you from doing it.

00:08:38.560 Is it money?

00:08:39.500 Is it finances?

00:08:40.460 Is it just the fear?

00:08:41.500 If it's the money and the finances, we can work on that.

00:08:43.720 I mean, it might take time, but we can work on that, paying off debt, creating reserve

00:08:47.060 funds, skimming back on the budget, all of those things.

00:08:50.520 But if it's just, I'm afraid, I don't want to say just get over it, but ultimately you

00:08:56.620 do have to get over it.

00:08:58.080 It's not going to go away.

00:08:59.560 And it's not even a bad thing.

00:09:01.640 Fear can actually be a great litmus test or some great feedback for what you ought to be

00:09:07.560 aware of.

00:09:08.120 If you're afraid of, you know, if the project goes south that you'll lose your job, that's

00:09:13.680 that's a threat.

00:09:15.380 So be aware of it.

00:09:16.620 I'm not saying don't do it.

00:09:17.980 I'm saying be aware of it and how you can hedge against it.

00:09:20.340 All right, let's get into the second component of this.

00:09:22.300 So we have the mindsets.

00:09:23.860 The second component is mentorship.

00:09:27.720 You don't have to recreate the wheel. 0.99

00:09:30.320 In fact, you're kind of foolish if you try to. 0.98

00:09:33.880 Somebody out there is already doing what you want to do. 0.98

00:09:36.840 Now, maybe you're going to be revolutionary.

00:09:38.780 Maybe you're going to create something that's never been created before.

00:09:43.520 And I would say, hopefully that's the case, but it's not going to be today.

00:09:48.280 You know, even Elon Musk, we think about what he's doing, catching rockets out of midair with

00:09:52.780 machines that he's built.

00:09:54.100 That's a new thing.

00:09:55.240 That's something we've never experienced before.

00:09:58.100 So it is new, but there's first principles that Elon Musk and his team of engineers understand

00:10:05.440 first in order to create this new thing.

00:10:09.840 So let's not get out of ahead of ourselves.

00:10:12.280 Again, this goes back to expectations.

00:10:14.500 Don't get out ahead of yourself.

00:10:16.020 Just realize, okay, I need some base level knowledge.

00:10:19.080 And there's people out there who are already doing what I want to do.

00:10:22.540 And all I have to do is tap into it.

00:10:24.480 Most of the resource, I wouldn't say most, but a lot of the resources that you'll need

00:10:30.040 from mentors.

00:10:31.040 A lot of men ask me about mentorship.

00:10:33.180 It's free.

00:10:35.360 Even this podcast is a form of mentorship.

00:10:37.480 You're listening.

00:10:38.380 Hopefully you're getting ideas.

00:10:39.580 Hopefully I'm sharing content that's relevant for you.

00:10:41.680 I think I am.

00:10:42.300 Otherwise you wouldn't be here.

00:10:43.760 And hopefully you're applying it for the betterment of your life and the lives of the people that

00:10:47.600 you care about.

00:10:48.860 That's mentorship.

00:10:49.700 So you're listening to this free podcast, free YouTube videos, signing up for people's

00:10:55.560 email newsletters, taking this stuff to heart and really diving deep into whatever a person

00:11:01.480 might have to share with you.

00:11:02.960 Then we move up to the next tier of mentorship, which is paid programs, courses, and experiences.

00:11:08.260 So let's say you want to start a business using social media marketing to generate revenue

00:11:16.320 for the business.

00:11:17.060 Because there's millions of people doing that.

00:11:19.840 And there's millions of people who have put together courses that will show you how to

00:11:23.100 do exactly that.

00:11:24.520 Now you will have to invest.

00:11:26.680 Yes.

00:11:27.380 Maybe it's a hundred dollars.

00:11:28.360 Maybe it's 500.

00:11:29.060 Maybe it's a thousand.

00:11:29.720 Maybe it's 10,000.

00:11:30.540 I don't know, but you will have to invest.

00:11:33.060 And I promise you, if you do that correctly, it will pay dividends.

00:11:37.820 It is worth it.

00:11:39.360 My good friend, Pete Roberts, the founder of Origin, calls it tuition payments.

00:11:43.700 These are payments that we need to make for doing dumb things or making mistakes or messing

00:11:48.360 up. 1.00

00:11:49.280 Dave Ramsey calls it stupid tax. 1.00

00:11:51.940 We all make mistakes. 1.00

00:11:53.800 That's part of the experience of growing. 0.99

00:11:55.960 And that's actually a good thing because it keeps dumb people and unmotivated people out 0.98

00:12:01.700 of the space that you're entering. 0.98

00:12:03.180 So that's a pretty good barrier to entry.

00:12:06.000 And if you can pass those challenges and get over those things, you're going to be that

00:12:10.360 much further ahead.

00:12:11.420 But you don't need to pay more tuition than necessary. 1.00

00:12:16.100 And you don't need to pay more stupid tax than you ought to. 0.97

00:12:19.660 So the way you overcome that is by investing, like I said, in courses, programs, mentorships, 1.00

00:12:27.620 mastermind groups.

00:12:29.240 Maybe it's going to an event or an experience or a conference that a certain group of people

00:12:34.740 are putting on so that you can get better at whatever the thing is that you want to

00:12:38.480 get better at.

00:12:39.420 And then listen and apply what they're telling you.

00:12:42.480 Do not be defensive.

00:12:45.140 I see this all.

00:12:45.760 This is ego again, to go back to the mindsets.

00:12:47.940 Don't get defensive.

00:12:49.900 Don't tell them that you've tried it, but it doesn't work.

00:12:53.560 It's not a, it doesn't work.

00:12:55.200 It's that you don't work.

00:12:56.580 You're not doing it correctly.

00:12:57.880 I remember years ago when I was doing financial planning, I was probably seven, eight years

00:13:02.480 into the business and doing fairly well at that point.

00:13:05.600 And we had a new associate come on with, with the company.

00:13:10.440 And I saw him struggling.

00:13:12.400 I tried to offer help where I could, because I knew what it was like to be in that position

00:13:15.780 as a young advisor, trying to get clients and make money and help people.

00:13:20.060 And I got it.

00:13:21.540 So he came to me one day after struggling for some time.

00:13:24.420 And he said, Hey Ryan, I see that you're doing well in your business.

00:13:26.920 I need some help, man.

00:13:28.440 Like, how are you meeting people?

00:13:30.540 How are you getting referrals?

00:13:31.900 What kind of conversations are you having with people?

00:13:34.420 What kind of recommendations?

00:13:35.580 He was very thoughtful on the questions that he asked.

00:13:38.540 But the problem was, is that every time I gave him a suggestion or an answer, he had

00:13:42.740 a justification for why it wouldn't work for him.

00:13:45.920 So if he said, Hey, I'm trying to get referrals, you know, what, what are you saying?

00:13:49.360 And I would give him language like, Hey, who are your five closest friends that you would

00:13:54.740 take financial advice from?

00:13:56.060 I don't know.

00:13:56.380 I'm making something up.

00:13:58.000 I would share something like that with him.

00:13:59.760 And then he would say, well, you know, I've tried that before and it didn't work because

00:14:03.760 I'm like, okay.

00:14:05.420 So I'd give him a different recommendation.

00:14:07.020 Well, yeah, I don't really feel comfortable saying that.

00:14:09.880 So that's probably like, not my style.

00:14:11.740 Like everything that I said had a retort.

00:14:15.220 And I finally said to him, Hey, it looks like you got everything figured out.

00:14:19.520 I, there's nothing I can help you with.

00:14:21.460 He's like, what do you mean?

00:14:22.280 Like, I'm not doing well.

00:14:23.280 I'm not, I said, I know you're not doing well.

00:14:25.040 You told me that.

00:14:25.820 And now you're telling me that you have it all figured out because everything that I

00:14:29.180 share with you isn't good enough.

00:14:32.300 It doesn't work for you for whatever reason you can fill in your excuse of choice, but, but

00:14:37.620 that's the reality.

00:14:38.560 And if you're ready to accept my input and my feedback and advice, my door's open.

00:14:44.080 I'm here to help, but I know this stuff works because it's what I'm using.

00:14:48.040 And we both acknowledge and recognize that I'm doing fairly well in the financial planning

00:14:52.100 practice here to help.

00:14:53.340 If you want to help great, if not, that's okay too.

00:14:56.720 And he left and unfortunately he ended up fizzling out of the business.

00:15:00.060 His arrogance and his ego got in the way and it didn't allow him to take on mentorship and

00:15:06.080 not only take it on, but accept the feedback and then apply it.

00:15:11.200 Now, one of the things that I remember him saying was I'm not comfortable with that, that

00:15:14.920 verbiage or that language or saying that or doing that, that doesn't sound like me.

00:15:18.720 Of course it doesn't because you're learning something new.

00:15:23.040 This is again, where the imposter syndrome comes into play.

00:15:26.560 You know, if you're learning to play the piano and you sit down on a piano, like you don't

00:15:31.140 expect yourself to be good, you sit down for the very first time and you don't say to yourself

00:15:36.020 because you can't even do chopsticks that you're a horrible person and you're no good

00:15:41.220 and you're never going to be good at this.

00:15:43.300 I mean, you might have some frustration, but that's the extent of it.

00:15:46.480 And then you just keep coming back, but you're not an imposter because you're trying to do

00:15:50.920 something.

00:15:52.040 But sometimes we think we are when it comes to business, for example.

00:15:57.340 Again, you're not an imposter.

00:15:58.760 You're just trying to figure it out.

00:16:00.420 The last tier of mentorship is actually hiring a mentor or a coach in small group settings

00:16:06.800 or one-on-one settings.

00:16:09.200 And of course, that's going to be more expensive, but that's just going to propel your results

00:16:14.220 that much quicker.

00:16:15.480 Do not be afraid to invest in yourselves.

00:16:18.780 Don't be afraid to invest in your projects.

00:16:20.860 Don't be afraid to invest in other people who have things figured out.

00:16:24.340 And when you do and you put your money where your mouth is, make sure you apply.

00:16:28.760 The principles they're teaching.

00:16:30.380 So again, we have mindset.

00:16:31.820 We have mentorship.

00:16:33.320 A lot of people will say, hey, Ryan, where do I find a good mentor?

00:16:36.140 Find the people who are doing what you want to do.

00:16:39.280 Where do I find those people?

00:16:40.600 They're all over the place.

00:16:42.860 Podcasts, YouTube, social media, they're writing books.

00:16:46.640 They have TV appearances.

00:16:48.140 If you do a Google search of who's the best podcaster for men, I'm likely to come up.

00:16:56.200 I won't say I'm going to be at the top of every list.

00:16:58.640 I'm not going to be at the bottom though, but I will come up.

00:17:02.280 So there's a person you can communicate with me.

00:17:04.480 And then what you do is you look and say, okay, does Ryan offer any programs?

00:17:08.060 And you look at his website and lo and behold, there's the programs that we offer.

00:17:13.140 This is not rocket science.

00:17:14.460 You just have to do it.

00:17:15.720 All right, let's move into the next component.

00:17:18.960 This is the last component.

00:17:20.600 And that is management.

00:17:23.540 Management is about, how's the phrase go?

00:17:27.260 Eating the elephant one bite at a time.

00:17:30.100 When you take on new projects at work or a new job or any task or endeavor that you're

00:17:35.100 embarking on, it can be very daunting and overwhelming.

00:17:38.380 I was talking with a guy the other day, he joined one of our, he joined our program,

00:17:43.360 the Iron Council.

00:17:44.100 That's our brotherhood designed specifically for men. 1.00

00:17:47.280 It's open right now.

00:17:48.400 And so he enrolled and I was talking with him and he said, oh my gosh, there is so much information.

00:17:54.080 I'm overwhelmed.

00:17:55.520 I said, I understand.

00:17:56.720 This is 10 years worth of work in this environment.

00:18:00.340 You'll get your feet under you and we're going to help teach you that.

00:18:03.040 But don't get so consumed by trying to figure out everything right now.

00:18:07.000 And he said, what do you mean?

00:18:07.700 I said, well, we have a system.

00:18:08.980 It's called the basics and it's seven or eight steps that you can go through.

00:18:13.320 It'll take you a couple of days, two or three days to go through each of these steps and

00:18:18.840 figure out in order, what is the priority?

00:18:23.360 What is important now?

00:18:24.740 What do you need to know now?

00:18:26.180 Then next, then next, then next, then next.

00:18:28.260 And then it's the same thing.

00:18:29.220 If it comes to a new job, you might have a list of a thousand things that need to get

00:18:34.480 done or a thousand priorities or people are beating down your door, wanting to meet you

00:18:38.060 and people are wanting to see what you're going to do and who you are and what you're

00:18:41.480 about.

00:18:41.900 And then your boss is telling you one thing and what he wants to hear from you.

00:18:45.620 And there's a lot coming at you.

00:18:47.880 Management is where this happens.

00:18:50.200 And management is simply prioritizing and executing right out your, excuse me, right

00:18:57.280 out your list.

00:18:57.920 I've got the hiccups today, right out your list, document everything that needs to get

00:19:02.180 done and then start categorizing these things into urgent.

00:19:07.860 Maybe it's not urgent, but pressing.

00:19:10.960 And then maybe it's unimportant or delay or never important.

00:19:16.920 So you have these four categories.

00:19:18.820 I'm making that up on the fly.

00:19:21.120 And then you take the ones that are urgent that need to get done right now.

00:19:23.780 And you look at those five, 10, 15, 20 things.

00:19:26.220 And you ask, okay, what do I need to get done first?

00:19:29.340 What's the, what's number one, number two, number three, number four, number five, number

00:19:32.980 six.

00:19:33.280 And when you're on number one, give yourself undivided attention towards number one.

00:19:38.940 And when number one is completed to satisfaction or it, or it's in process and you can move on

00:19:44.980 only then do you start thinking about what number two is.

00:19:47.860 And I say only then I like to have a general idea, but I only move on to number two.

00:19:54.120 Once one is either taken care of, or it will be taken care of automatically.

00:19:59.380 I only move on after because that allows me to change priorities based on external circumstances.

00:20:05.860 So let's say I get item one, two, three, and four done.

00:20:09.480 And now I'm on item five, I identified that that would be the fifth thing I would take

00:20:14.340 care of.

00:20:15.220 But in the process of a couple of weeks while I was getting one, two, three, and four done,

00:20:18.980 my boss comes to me and he said, Hey, Ryan, I know you're working on this thing.

00:20:23.140 We've had a big shift in priorities.

00:20:25.040 We lost a customer or we're going to lose this customer if we don't do this thing and

00:20:30.080 we need to reprioritize.

00:20:31.520 That's fine.

00:20:32.840 I can make something else number five and I can pivot and I can adjust that's management.

00:20:37.680 So guys, we don't have to eat the entire elephant all at once.

00:20:41.980 It's impossible.

00:20:43.360 It's stressful.

00:20:44.820 It's anxiety ridden.

00:20:46.780 And I want you to eliminate that so that you can actually move yourself forward.

00:20:51.920 I think about this a lot in the context of training, physical training and working out.

00:20:56.640 You can't put all the weight on the bar if you'd never have done that move before.

00:21:01.820 So you put a little bit of weight or you do a move with no weight or whatever.

00:21:05.260 And only then do you start moving on and progressing to more advanced techniques, more

00:21:12.720 weight, different lifts altogether, but it's always a priority.

00:21:18.760 Don't get overwhelmed.

00:21:20.160 Just look at the first thing, tackle that, and then move on to the second.

00:21:25.120 And then what I would say is a good friend of mine, Alan Placer, he's in the Iron Council

00:21:28.240 as well.

00:21:28.760 Very instrumental over there.

00:21:30.120 He talks about celebrating your wins.

00:21:32.500 Celebrate your wins.

00:21:34.680 I'm not saying throw yourself a lavish party every time you send a couple emails to people.

00:21:40.900 Don't reward yourself for doing something that's expected, but honor it.

00:21:46.240 Hey, I got all of my emails done today, or I set up all of my social media accounts, or

00:21:50.840 I bought the equipment for the podcast, or I bought the program that I'm going to use to

00:21:55.500 write my book and just celebrate it.

00:21:58.000 Again, it's not a party.

00:21:59.280 It's just, I did that.

00:22:00.980 Acknowledge it.

00:22:01.460 I did it.

00:22:02.200 I feel good about it, and I can check that off my list.

00:22:05.980 Acknowledge those wins, prioritize, manage that, and you'll do just fine.

00:22:10.380 So guys, that's the three-part formula.

00:22:11.840 I know it's pretty broad in what I'm sharing with you, but that's a pretty broad category,

00:22:17.300 starting something new.

00:22:18.480 I don't know what you're starting.

00:22:19.860 If you guys have questions or thoughts about what you want to accomplish moving into 2025,

00:22:24.320 you can certainly reach out to me via Instagram is probably best, at Ryan Mickler.

00:22:30.480 And if you want to take this a step further and you really want guidance and direction

00:22:33.980 from me and a thousand other men, then consider joining our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron

00:22:39.100 Council.

00:22:40.120 We've had a bunch of guys come in.

00:22:41.400 I think 50-plus guys come in over the past week or so, and we're talking about everything

00:22:47.920 from physical training to entrepreneurship to finance.

00:22:51.800 We've got guys who want to start businesses, guys who want to pay off debt, guys who want

00:22:58.160 to lose weight, rekindle broken relationships, and we've got dedicated channels and discussions

00:23:05.900 around each one of those topics.

00:23:07.440 So whatever your question or concern or desire is, you come into there, and all of a sudden,

00:23:12.900 to hit on point number two, you have the mentorship built into a program that allows for accountability

00:23:17.720 and camaraderie and brotherhood as well.

00:23:19.700 So I'd highly recommend you check that out.

00:23:21.220 You can do that at orderofman.com slash ironcouncil.

00:23:24.560 We're only open for a few more, well, I think about a week, week, week and a half, somewhere

00:23:29.900 in there.

00:23:30.640 So again, guys, three-part formula for starting something new, mindset, knowing you can do

00:23:34.900 it, dropping the ego, and getting rid of the faulty and weird expectations.

00:23:39.780 Number two, looking for mentorship, free resources, low investment resources like courses or conferences,

00:23:49.020 that sort of thing.

00:23:49.620 And then the high expense, high investment resource like individual and private coaching.

00:23:55.040 And then the third is managing priorities and adjusting, adapting, and prioritizing and executing.

00:24:03.480 So I hope that helps, guys.

00:24:04.600 Hopefully, I'll see you over on Instagram.

00:24:06.160 Also, if you're listening to this, if you're interested, I would definitely go check out the YouTube channel.

00:24:11.540 That is growing.

00:24:12.220 I think we're at about 350,000 subscribers over on YouTube.

00:24:16.800 We'd love to see you there.

00:24:18.020 I'm going to be a little bit more deliberate in the communication I have on YouTube,

00:24:21.640 although some of the comments on YouTube are pretty wild.

00:24:25.820 But we'll do what we can over there, and then hopefully we'll see you inside the Iron Council.

00:24:30.760 All right, guys.

00:24:31.780 Also, on that note, just want to say Merry Christmas.

00:24:34.300 I know I'm a couple days late, but I hope you had a good Christmas,

00:24:37.100 and I hope you're enjoying time with friends and family this time of year.

00:24:40.440 All right, guys.

00:24:40.920 We will be back next week for an interview with John Kim.

00:24:45.000 Until then, go out there, take action, become the man you are meant to be.

00:24:48.620 Thank you for listening to the Order of Man podcast.

00:24:54.740 If you're ready to take charge of your life and be more of the man you were meant to be,

00:24:58.760 we invite you to join the Order at orderofman.com.

00:25:01.900 We'll be right back.
