00:00:29.740 about what's going on in the world uh and i am going to do that very soon but today i have something

00:00:34.660 that i think is even more important than that and i know it's more important than that because

00:00:38.540 what i'm going to talk about today is something that you can take regardless of what's going on

00:00:45.160 in the world and win with all right we've got all kinds of chaos going on in the world we've got all

00:00:51.360 kinds of uncertainty and i will talk about that soon but the one thing that we all have to do is

00:00:57.340 we have to make sure that we're taking care of ourselves and controlling the things that we

00:01:00.860 can control in order to move regardless of the drama that's going on around us that's what champions

00:01:08.560 do that's what winners do and that's what this show is about the show is about creating the mindset

00:01:14.360 to win this is a show about winning this is a show about entrepreneurship this is a show about

00:01:21.440 learning how to be accountable for ourselves and going out and doing the work to win this show is

00:01:28.440 not about getting free shit this show is not about uh you know waiting around for someone to come help us 0.78

00:01:34.780 this show is about taking your life into your own hands and going out and executing all right and

00:01:42.840 producing something that your family your friends and you will be proud of and happy with and fulfilled by

00:01:50.780 and so what i'm going to do today is i'm going to teach you guys um something you've never heard

00:01:55.820 me talk about all right this is the concept that i live by and believe in but i don't talk about much

00:02:02.880 because honestly most people aren't ready to hear it uh but before i get into it remember uh there is

00:02:10.500 a fee for this show this is your first time listening um it's going to cost you something all right

00:02:15.740 and this is all on the honor system you don't have to do it but we don't run ads here we

00:02:20.680 don't you know uh sell a bunch of stuff to you i'm not going to put you through 15 minutes ads or 30

00:02:25.620 minutes ads uh so i can get paid i'm here to help you i'm here to show you how to do some of the

00:02:32.160 things that i have personally done in my life and uh you know as a return i ask the fee the fee is

00:02:39.840 when it comes uh up in conversation and you have a chance to tell people about how your friend andy is

00:02:45.400 teaching you how to kick fucking ass uh tell them all right share the show that's how we grow we 0.89

00:02:50.200 don't run ads for the show we don't run ads on the show we rely 100 on our audience to share the show

00:02:56.580 which i am perfectly comfortable with because i give you everything i got so if you feel like i gave

00:03:03.060 you everything that i got do me a solid and share the show that's the fee all right so on to the

00:03:10.420 main content one of the things that i've always said guys is that in order to succeed you have to

00:03:17.520 believe that success is for you okay in other words it's for you not just other people success is

00:03:26.260 something that you can achieve wealth is something that you can achieve a fit body is something that you

00:03:34.300 can achieve great relationships are something that you can experience the problem i see time and time

00:03:41.640 again is that the average person really doesn't believe these things they look at people who are

00:03:47.940 peak performers let's say professional athletes academy award winners uh you know seven eight nine

00:03:54.200 ten figure entrepreneurs the movers and shakers the people who are doing shit in real life 0.66

00:03:59.320 they look at those people and they say man they just have it

00:04:04.300 they just possess that discipline i don't have that's why they're peak performers that's why

00:04:09.380 they'll experience happiness to success and i never will they have a gift that i don't have and that's

00:04:15.160 the problem we see it as a gift and not a skill okay is that how you're thinking about it audit yourself

00:04:23.400 how do you really think about it is that what you're afraid of is that why you're hesitant to actually

00:04:28.680 try to become a peak performer because guys i know there's people listening right now who want to

00:04:36.040 start 75 hard but deep down they're worried that it won't work they don't question the program they

00:04:42.340 know the program works they know it's helped tens of thousands of people develop the things uh that

00:04:47.980 that combined to create mental toughness right the discipline the fortitude the grit the perseverance

00:04:53.500 the ability to endure the self-confidence the self-belief etc etc etc they don't question

00:04:59.580 whether or not the program actually works they question themselves they wonder if all the people

00:05:06.300 who successfully completed 75 hard are just quote-unquote special people right but the truth is

00:05:13.640 guys those people had the potential to become peak performers all along 75 hard just provided the

00:05:20.340 catalyst for that success okay but these people still they worry they worry that you know those

00:05:27.340 people who have who have done these things are just different all right but i'm here to tell you guys

00:05:31.780 those people they don't just quote-unquote have it all right if that's you and that's how you think i

00:05:38.780 get it i'm not gonna shit on you and say you're weak or accuse you of having a negative mindset 0.86

00:05:43.960 self-doubt is a real thing we all struggle with it we all have that bitch voice inside of our head 0.98

00:05:51.800 all right and your bitch voice can be well a huge bitch winning the battle of your inner dialogue 1.00

00:05:58.840 guys is the hardest thing you'll ever do in your life but i want to explain a principle to you that's

00:06:05.260 going to help you do that it's going to help a ton it's going to help you actually believe that success

00:06:10.660 is for you that you can become a peak performer and experience these high levels of happiness and

00:06:17.960 success that you envy when you see other people the principle is this it's very simple there's two

00:06:25.920 levels of discipline okay there's macro discipline and then there's micro discipline i'll explain the

00:06:32.660 difference and then tell you why it's essential to your success that you understand the difference

00:06:38.060 all right you guys know i'm just a regular dude from st louis right i'm from south county i'm a

00:06:42.960 normal dude all right i'm a cardinals guy st louis is a baseball town baseball is religion here all

00:06:49.400 right lately the cards aren't nearly as dominant as they have been in the past i'm gonna get back to

00:06:53.700 that in a second i just want you to know where i'm coming from with the story at any rate the other

00:06:58.900 day i was watching uh some reruns on espn which you know uh we've got a lot of that this year but i was

00:07:04.960 watching uh game six of the 2011 world series uh it's a game between the cardinals and the texas

00:07:11.420 rangers now i happen to have been at that game um but anybody who knows baseball and is a baseball fan

00:07:17.380 even outside of st louis understands that game six was one of the greatest games in world series history

00:07:23.800 all right it's just called game six people know what that means um there were two iconic moments in

00:07:29.120 that game and both involved the same guy david freeze uh first off in the ninth inning freeze hit a

00:07:34.740 two out triple to tie the game and send it to extra innings and then again in the 11th inning

00:07:38.780 freeze hit a home run to win the game and send it to game seven where the cardinals won the world

00:07:44.360 series i was at that game too okay after both those plays the crowd went wild all right the stadium it

00:07:51.260 was electric but most people who aren't baseball fans don't realize how hard it is to hit a home run in

00:07:59.620 that circumstance all right you've got to be immune to the pressure you've got to have laser precise

00:08:04.940 eye contact you've got to keep your eye on the ball you've got to swing the bat as fast as you possibly

00:08:10.780 can and hit the sweet spot on the ball and the bat all right you have to hit it in just the right place

00:08:17.120 so it goes far enough to get out of play and not into foul territory either there's a lot of variables

00:08:23.620 that comes into hitting a baseball they say that the easiest thing in sports to do is to miss hitting

00:08:30.040 a baseball and the hardest thing to do is to actually hit it all right hitting a baseball takes

00:08:35.440 an insane amount of coordination all right a lifetime of commitment when you watch the video of freeze

00:08:43.080 swinging the bat it looks like poetry man there's perfect form there's a flow to it all right i would

00:08:50.000 call it i would even stretch to call it beautiful because i can appreciate the skill and the practice

00:08:55.040 that has gone into that i know people sometimes have a hard time defining beauty but beauty to me is

00:09:01.020 basically a combination of you know positive and excellent qualities a home run swing to me is

00:09:07.460 beautiful because it combines uh the qualities of you know coordination precision speed and power and when

00:09:15.320 all those things come together one action the result is mind-blowing right it drives people insane this is

00:09:22.260 what people pay to see and david freeze became you know a hometown legend for his performance in the 2011

00:09:30.800 world series because he had the ability to exercise all the positive and excellent qualities he needed at

00:09:36.620 once at the perfect time when he needed to execute it all right you know what i call that i call that

00:09:43.440 macro discipline all right macro discipline guys is the discipline you demonstrate when you are

00:09:49.500 performing macro discipline isn't as much of an action as it is a state of being all right peak

00:09:56.580 performers possess macro discipline just like human beings possess a soul it's not just part of who they

00:10:04.320 are it is who they are it's macro discipline that made david freeze a major league player and a world

00:10:11.620 series champion it's macro discipline that enabled michael jordan to be the greatest basketball player

00:10:17.840 of all time it's macro discipline that made abraham lincoln and winston churchill martin luther king

00:10:24.180 great leaders it's macro discipline that got ed my let my business partner in the rote syndicate

00:10:30.860 one of the best guys i know where he is today one of the most successful business men in the world

00:10:36.800 oh and by the way he's also one of the wealthiest okay to be real macro discipline is what's gotten

00:10:43.100 me to where i am a successful author entrepreneur speaker podcaster all right some would say world's

00:10:50.980 sexiest man but it's all macro discipline all right and here's the thing guys if you point at any

00:10:58.920 peak performer and say i don't have the discipline they have guess what you're right you don't have it

00:11:04.980 but what you're looking at is their performance what you are witnessing is their macro discipline

00:11:12.040 at play like i said it's not a single quality that you can possess it's the quality of existence

00:11:19.300 that possesses you so if you look at all the peak performers as they're performing and whatever element

00:11:27.000 they're in their business their relationships their field and you compare yourself to them then of course

00:11:32.460 you're going to be discouraged of course you're going to believe you can't really become like them

00:11:36.560 and that's the bad news but there's good news too and the good news is and i know it sounds kind of

00:11:41.740 zenish guys is that you can experience macro discipline by not trying to pursue it but by pursuing a

00:11:49.880 completely different level of discipline and i'm talking about micro discipline whereas macro

00:11:55.520 micro discipline like we said is a state of being a flow let's quote unquote soul of who you are

00:12:01.980 micro discipline is focused on what you do micro discipline is all about the individual decisions

00:12:08.620 and actions another way of saying it would be macro discipline is your demonstration when you perform

00:12:14.640 and micro discipline is the discipline you exercise when you are preparing and engaging in a process

00:12:21.120 okay macro discipline is the game time micro discipline is the daily practice for example

00:12:27.120 in 75 hard we talk about no compromise and no deviation as a guiding principle that means if you

00:12:34.100 say i won't eat a cookie for 75 days then guess what you're not eating a motherfucking cookie for 75 days 0.89

00:12:40.760 if you say i will work out twice a day for 75 days and that's exactly what you do the great thing about

00:12:46.600 micro discipline is that you're not trying to achieve a state of being or a flow state you're not trying

00:12:52.960 to create your whole self all at once okay you aren't creating the person you want to be all at once

00:12:59.300 what you are doing is focusing on a single decision a single action a specific period of time you're zeroing

00:13:07.000 in on one step of the process one link in the chain and for that reason it's not overwhelming

00:13:13.120 it's totally doable and guys guess what it's also very effective when you exercise micro

00:13:19.580 discipline consistently day after day week after week year after year each decision and action

00:13:26.520 starts to combine and compound and they converge and that's when you enter the state

00:13:32.300 of macro discipline okay that's when you possess it like a soul that's when it becomes who the fuck you are

00:13:39.100 on the inside not just the outside okay but here's what you got to keep in mind anyone can exercise

00:13:46.180 micro discipline and become a peak performer but the opposite is also true and this is the part that

00:13:51.400 gets people in trouble so pay attention any peak performer can also stop exercising micro discipline and guess

00:13:59.260 what when they do they lose their macro discipline this isn't something that you can possess permanently

00:14:07.560 it's a perishable skill you can lose it and talent won't keep it for you intelligence won't keep it for

00:14:15.480 you and no amount of resources can keep it for you the only way someone enters and remains in the state

00:14:22.560 of macro discipline is to continue practicing micro discipline and since anyone and i mean anyone can focus

00:14:31.080 on the individual decisions and singular actions they take on a day-by-day basis there is zero

00:14:37.320 distinction between people who are quote-unquote meant for success and those who aren't and that's great

00:14:44.040 news for you it's great news for me it's great news for all of you listening the micro discipline levels

00:14:50.940 the playing field for all of us all are equal everyone has the same opportunity to pursue and fulfill their own

00:14:59.260 true potential so guys as you think about experiencing more success in your life and more happiness

00:15:08.060 don't make the mistake of witnessing macro discipline in a peak performer and then comparing yourselves to

00:15:15.020 them and coming to the conclusion that you'll never be like them that's why most people fail focusing on the

00:15:22.120 macro discipline in someone else is totally counterproductive and demoralizing to us

00:15:28.300 you can't decide to practice macro discipline because it's not a skill it's not a habit like i said it's a

00:15:37.500 state of being it's who you actually become it's who the fuck you are and you cannot fake it so instead 0.71

00:15:45.340 focus on the micro discipline focus on the level of discipline that has to do with the decisions and

00:15:51.420 actions you make on a daily basis decisions made at a single point in time actions executed at a single

00:15:59.020 point in time that's how you enter macro discipline that's how you stay in a state of macro discipline

00:16:05.980 individual decisions singular actions execute and repeat execute and repeat guys it's not overwhelming

00:16:14.060 it's not rocket science it's doable and it's effective if you focus on the level of micro discipline you

00:16:23.260 have every good reason to believe that you will become a peak performer who experiences the high levels of

00:16:31.580 happiness who gets to experience the high levels of success who gets to experience the high levels of

00:16:37.660 fulfillment that we all aspire to have it's not about macro guys it's about micro nobody gets there

00:16:48.140 by accident it's what you do every single time you get a chance to make a decision macro and micro

00:16:55.260 discipline go listen to this shit about three more times think about it all right guys i love you guys 0.88

00:17:00.780 that's the show i'll see you next time
