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

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

00:02:10.500

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