have more talent or i'm more intelligent than other people i don't have accesses to resources that no one
00:02:00.600
else had i'm where i am in life for a very simple reason and that's this every single day i have
00:02:09.400
identified the critical tasks that needed to be done and i did them i was able to do those critical
00:02:16.520
tasks every single day regardless of how i felt regardless of what was going on because i intentionally
00:02:24.040
developed this skill set called mental toughness and this is what i want to talk to you about today
00:02:30.360
because just as you can do physical exercises to become physically tough you can practice mental
00:02:37.560
exercises to become mentally tough now obviously this is what the live hard program is all about
00:02:44.600
but these are four exercises that you can do in addition to this program that will help you develop
00:02:50.600
mental toughness and i'm going to walk you through these four mental exercises that will help you develop
00:02:55.960
mental toughness that you need to execute no matter what is going on in your life
00:03:00.120
because the reality is guys conditions are never going to be perfect there is always going to be
00:03:08.200
hardship there is always going to be inconveniences there is always going to be things that are not
00:03:14.120
ideal and if you can only execute when things are ideal you cannot win you cannot win okay so what are
00:03:23.400
these exercises let's get into them number one consistently remind yourself of your purpose you're
00:03:30.680
not going to get anything done if you don't know why you are doing it you have to have vision for what
00:03:36.120
you really want in your life you have to have a purpose that drives all of your hard work now i've told you
00:03:42.440
guys this story about my life many many times but for the first 10 years or so in my business i didn't make any
00:03:51.080
money in fact i made 58 380 dollars collectively over the first 10 years and the reason i did that
00:03:59.880
you guys often think oh man you had so much grit you had so much fortitude you were able to push
00:04:05.320
through these hard times that's not exactly what was going on what was going on was i was trying to sell
00:04:13.800
i was trying to get rich i was operating my business for me not in a way of serving or helping
00:04:21.560
other people and we went through this process we were going to close the business and we were going
00:04:26.360
to move on to other things because we weren't making any money and that was our goal and you
00:04:30.680
guys know that i was going to start a carpet cleaning business and chris was going to go to officer
00:04:35.000
candidate school okay and we were going to close the business and during the training for the carpet
00:04:41.880
cleaning i got injured and while i got injured for 30 days i was on my bed we had a bunch of
00:04:49.560
conversations about the business and we decided that we didn't actually care about getting rich
00:04:55.720
and we didn't want to leave the business because there were certain parts about the business
00:05:00.360
that we really loved we really loved when by accident people would come in and we would talk to them
00:05:08.040
build relationships and they would come in six seven months later three months later a completely
00:05:13.960
different human and they'd be crying and they'd be so thankful and so grateful and that was awesome
00:05:20.040
that was something we could not get in other areas of business and it was something that we both loved
00:05:26.520
and so we changed our intent and we changed our purpose at that point in time and for the next number of
00:05:34.600
years we grew a hundred percent every single year because we switched from being about ourselves to
00:05:41.320
being about our customers and that was an adjustment a pivot in our purpose that has allowed us to become
00:05:49.720
successful to this day that sense of purpose drove our actions and it will drive your actions it helped us
00:05:57.080
focus on helping people rather than you know getting rich chasing the paper and all this other
00:06:02.840
shit that people talk about okay the money took care of itself when we got our purpose aligned
00:06:08.920
properly all right now notice that i realized that my ultimate purpose was helping people and providing
00:06:15.080
value if you ask most people who are in business and you say what's the purpose of your business they
00:06:20.840
will say to make money which is why they don't make any money serving people providing value should be the
00:06:27.640
ultimate purpose of every single business out there if you provide value you won't have to worry about
00:06:33.800
the money okay personally it's okay to be motivated by material goals but eventually you're going to grow
00:06:41.000
out of that and either way you have to consistently call to mind your purpose and keep that at the forefront
00:06:47.560
of what you're thinking about and what i mean when i say that is you need to literally turn your mind
00:06:52.920
and your mind's attention to your purpose consciously every single day inside your head
00:06:59.640
you should be constantly asking yourself why am i doing this when you ask yourself that question
00:07:05.240
you should know and state the answer immediately you should be able to recall that right away it's
00:07:10.840
imperative that you consistently remind yourself of your purpose not just because it will keep you along
00:07:17.080
the path but also it will keep you fulfilled along the path to success if you don't know why you're
00:07:24.040
doing something you cannot do it and you cannot have fun doing it and you cannot feel fulfilled doing it
00:07:31.640
so what is your purpose you have to be able to keep that at the front of your mind the second thing is
00:07:38.520
make up your mind that the rules are set in stone you cannot change them once you start average people
00:07:45.800
make the assumption that if things get tough they can compromise the rules they can change the path
00:07:52.040
they can adjust the situation which is why most people are most people okay when you set the rules
00:07:59.000
for what you're trying to accomplish you have to make up your mind that those rules are non-negotiable
00:08:06.120
they are unchangeable they are set in stone zero compromise zero deviation i am going to do this
00:08:14.600
no matter what happens no matter what comes my way no matter what challenges no matter what hardships no matter
00:08:22.840
what pain i am going to do this you have to have that mentality because compromise leads to quitting
00:08:31.960
people tweak and adjust and make little sacrifices because conditions aren't perfect and they don't understand
00:08:39.400
that conditions will never be perfect so if you give yourself the option to compromise when conditions
00:08:45.160
aren't perfect you will always compromise and compromise leads to complacency complacency leads
00:08:51.800
to loss of confidence and loss of confidence leads to quitting the truth is guys you shouldn't even try
00:08:58.440
to accomplish anything if you haven't made up your mind that compromise is unacceptable okay you shouldn't
00:09:04.520
even go because you won't make it make up your mind decide that you are going to do this you are going
00:09:11.640
to overcome you are going to push through and no matter what comes your way you are going to get where you
00:09:17.320
want to go and when you make that decision and you mean it you will see major progress in your life
00:09:25.080
point number three get your mind clear on the specific critical tasks that are essential for you
00:09:31.320
you know the phrase you've all heard it aim for nothing and that's what you'll hit too many people
00:09:36.680
are way too vague in the way they try to accomplish things they have some general idea of what they want
00:09:42.440
to do but they don't know specifically in detail what they need to do or what they want to become every
00:09:49.960
single day you need to get your mind clear and get the critical tasks you need to complete that day to move
00:09:55.960
you forward we talk about this a lot with win the day in the powerless system you can go to episode 16
00:10:03.800
and get my exact system for this for free okay don't just make a mental note you have to follow a
00:10:12.520
system all right you can't just wing it you can't just say i'm gonna do these critical tasks today and
00:10:18.600
they're gonna get done that's not how it's gonna work you have to consciously list them out you have to
00:10:23.800
consciously follow the system and if you follow that system exactly as i've laid it out in episode
00:10:30.520
16 you cannot fucking lose it is the only system that i know of that will guarantee success if you
00:10:38.920
execute on it and it's free so go to episode 16 and get that point number four intentionally focus your
00:10:47.400
mind on what you will gain not what you're giving up this is a huge thing guys repeat after
00:10:53.720
me action follows focus your actions will always follow your focus the reason people fail at
00:11:01.640
achieving their goals is that they focus on what they have to give up when they're dieting people
00:11:07.320
follow up their diet because they think about giving up pizza and french fries and their brain is
00:11:12.440
constantly fixated i can't have pizza i can't have french fries and eventually it gets to pizza and french
00:11:19.000
fries and pizza and french fries and pizza and french fries and eventually it breaks them and they
00:11:23.960
go eat the pizza and the french fries okay instead you should be thinking about how great you're going
00:11:30.520
to feel when you look in the mirror and you're fucking jacked and ripped and looking the best you ever did
00:11:36.280
and getting admiration from everybody around you because of the discipline that you clearly display on
00:11:41.880
a daily basis you should be thinking about how you're going to feel when you go on that vacation or when you go to the
00:11:47.400
pool or when you go to the store and your clothes actually fit you should be thinking about when you
00:11:52.200
go to that wedding and the suit fix fits good that's the shit you should be thinking about not what you
00:11:57.720
give up but what you're going to gain if you focus on what you're giving up you will lose because you will
00:12:04.680
give up it will mentally break you so focus on what you're gaining because if you focus on what you'll gain
00:12:11.240
you'll keep pressing on you will stay on the gas like i said focus how awesome your life's going to be
00:12:18.440
focus on how great you're going to feel focus on how much you're going to gain focus on all the money
00:12:24.120
that you're going to make because of the respect and the relationships that you're going to build
00:12:28.360
and these things will help you press forward action always follows focus the minute you start wavering
00:12:35.880
you should ask yourself what am i going to gain from this what am i doing this for which also ties
00:12:41.400
back to point number three of purpose okay so ask yourself if i keep repeating this action what will
00:12:49.720
the good result be focus on what you're gaining not on what you're giving up okay so to recap we have
00:12:57.880
remind yourself of your purpose consider the rules set in stone get clear on your critical task
00:13:05.640
and focus on what you're going to gain not what you're giving up remember guys mental toughness
00:13:12.520
is the skill that enables you to execute to get things done no matter what it is the source of
00:13:19.640
your problems the reason you are not where you want to be is not because you don't know what to do
00:13:25.800
it's because you don't have the capacity to do it when you don't feel great when things aren't perfect
00:13:32.920
and that is a requirement for winning so yes go out and live the live hard lifestyle yes practice
00:13:40.360
mental toughness but also keep in mind these four tools because these four tools will help you break
00:13:46.840
down any obstacles that come your way during this path that you have chosen to go on
