run actual companies unlike a lot of these motherfuckers that run podcasts and uh you know
00:02:34.440
our quote unquote internet or instagram fucking motivators and all this other bullshit I actually
00:02:39.920
run real companies and sometimes uh those things get in the way of my social content so uh the good
00:02:46.780
thing is is you get real advice from somebody who's really fucking doing it not sitting in their mom's
00:02:50.860
basement typing out some motivational shit the bad news is sometimes projects get put on the back
00:02:55.600
burner but we are getting ready to launch that so I think it's be really fun to get your guys
00:03:01.540
question and get your feedback um through that channel so YouTube's going to be a brand new thing
00:03:06.340
all right with that being said today is Thursday Thunder and I do have something on my mind that has been
00:03:16.200
chewing at me uh for a while now uh let me tell you a little story okay I have a buddy who well
00:03:25.300
actually this stems from us flying back uh from Vegas to St. Louis on our uh private jet uh just a few
00:03:34.920
weeks ago we were we were we were 40,000 feet in the air and it was me Tyler Chris Jason and Scott
00:03:43.100
Halsey who runs all our distribution um we're all in the airplane you know we're a little tired from
00:03:49.060
Vegas we're all hungover uh we're we're at 40,000 feet okay we're flying real high uh the pilots were
00:03:58.360
cool we're always talking to those dudes and we're all sitting there talking and all of a sudden we
00:04:02.420
hear this huge like boom and we we all look at each other like what the fuck was that and like
00:04:10.120
it takes a lot to rattle me because I do a lot of flying and I don't like to fly it's not my favorite
00:04:14.540
thing uh but I've gotten to the point where it doesn't bother me but I'm going to tell you whatever
00:04:18.780
the fuck this noise was was not right all right and we all look at each other like quietly and we're
00:04:26.620
all like everybody's terrified because it was it wasn't like a little bump or a little it was like
00:04:31.160
a huge boom sound and we didn't know what the fuck was going on so I kind of lean over and look up
00:04:39.400
towards the pilots and I'm like hey what the fuck was that and the pilot literally turned around and
00:04:46.060
looked at us and he goes we have no idea and you can imagine that all of us like even the pilots they
00:04:52.740
were sitting there with their hands like out in front of their bodies like not grabbing at anything
00:04:59.220
but looking at all the gauges and they had no fucking clue what was going on we had no clue what was
00:05:04.740
going on and we were scared shitless and the first thing I did is I looked at everybody and I said
00:05:11.100
that Tyler's laughing right now because he remembers what I said I said well this might be my last drink
00:05:18.800
so I'm gonna fucking get a drink I got up all of us got up we went and made a drink and we drank the
00:05:23.800
rest of the flight because we were so fucking scared and that's the honest to God's truth we got on the
00:05:27.860
ground I said to the pilot I said what was that and he's like we have no idea and they didn't know
00:05:34.720
we didn't know but he said something that was pretty profound and he said look man if all the
00:05:40.820
instruments are right we don't really worry about it because the instruments are always right and
00:05:46.860
I thought a lot about that for a few weeks because like there was something clearly not right
00:05:53.620
and we all knew it but the instruments were all correct okay and so they they were like well the
00:06:02.460
instruments all were fine so we just kept going and I thought about that like in life all right
00:06:08.980
um this applies to all of us okay all of us have those times in our journeys when we're trying to
00:06:18.520
become better and we're trying to improve and we're trying to reach our goals that things just don't feel
00:06:24.500
right all right it could be as simple as you're going through a funk it could be you're getting outside
00:06:30.180
negativity it could be you're you're hamming you're hammering yourself with self-doubt there could be
00:06:36.180
tons and tons of reasons it could be that you're not seeing the real world feedback of whatever actions
00:06:42.380
you're taking all right and that could be because you haven't been doing it long enough maybe your
00:06:46.580
techniques off maybe you're doing something wrong but my point is this usually when most humans get in
00:06:54.120
these situations where shit don't feel right they go fucking crazy all right they start changing
00:07:00.100
everything they start adjusting everything they start doing all this shit that doesn't make any sense
00:07:05.560
they start making changes they stop doing what they're supposed to be doing they decide they need
00:07:10.900
to change direction they make a shitload of changes and while they do this they're inadvertently
00:07:19.600
taking themselves off a path and putting them on another path because of panic because they're
00:07:27.580
panicking and this is why and this is what this pilot told me this is why pilots get killed because
00:07:33.740
they have something something happen in the airplane they fly into a storm they get discombobulated
00:07:39.480
they feel with every ounce of their being that they're upside down and their instruments say
00:07:44.800
the right side up and they make adjustments that don't reflect what the instruments say and they
00:07:51.140
end up crashing or they end up making a mistake or they end up breaking something to where the plane
00:07:55.680
fucking crashes all right and your life is no different you could be on a path you could be
00:08:02.780
executing let's just use fitness because fitness is such a great metaphor for all the other successes in
00:08:09.720
life all right you could be eating right you could be exercising you could be drinking enough water
00:08:16.160
you could be doing all the things that you need to do and you're not seeing results you're not seeing
00:08:21.780
uh you know the results that you want okay your body's being stubborn things aren't happening
00:08:27.440
so what do you do you go and make a bunch of fucking changes you change your workout you change this you
00:08:32.880
change that when in reality you just weren't patient you just weren't paying attention to the
00:08:38.780
indicators you weren't paying attention to the gauges on your life are you working out yes am i eating
00:08:45.280
right yes am i drinking enough water yes am i tracking all these variables and i'm sure that i'm doing
00:08:51.240
these things right yes everything says correct but since you don't feel correct and you're frustrated
00:08:57.020
and you're angry and you're impatient you make changes and guys i want you to take this concept and i want
00:09:04.740
you to apply it to other areas your career your relationships okay every other area of your life works exactly
00:09:13.920
like your fitness area when you're in business when you're own a company when you work within a company and
00:09:20.200
you're trying to make advancements and you are doing for sure what you know is the right thing but you're not
00:09:27.400
getting the proper result you have to trust in the process that you are doing what's right and you have
00:09:36.040
to believe that that will make the result you are after if you do that for long enough the reason people
00:09:44.440
don't succeed the reason people can't get in shape the reason people constantly jump from this to that to
00:09:50.500
this to that over and over and over again their whole entire lives is because they don't put enough
00:09:56.460
trust in the process and they don't believe that shit's going to work out and so when those when
00:10:02.700
those feelings of uncertainty come in and those feelings of doubt and our own we become our own
00:10:07.760
worst enemy we decide to make these adjustments that make no fucking sense you know we quit the job
00:10:13.960
that has a potential future we start a new company because the company we started isn't working the way
00:10:19.160
we thought it was we're not making 20 billion dollars in one week like the internet tells you you're
00:10:24.080
supposed to okay we break up with uh the girlfriend or the boyfriend or the wife or the husband because
00:10:30.520
things are rocky right now and they're not working out right now even though you know that you're putting
00:10:36.340
the effort in okay there's tons of situations but guys the point of this podcast and the thing you have
00:10:42.460
to remember over and over and over again is that you always have to trust your instruments you always have
00:10:49.140
to pay attention to your actions and if your actions indicate what you believe to be the positive result
00:10:56.200
you need to be able to eliminate these little freak outs along the way that are going to keep you off course
00:11:04.400
this is why people go from idea to idea to idea in the entrepreneur world or go from fitness routine to
00:11:11.620
fitness routine to fitness routine in the fitness world or girlfriend to girlfriend to girlfriend
00:11:17.000
in the relationship world because the minute things don't seem right they jump ship they bail out they go
00:11:24.600
look for the next best thing and guys nothing great comes from you looking for the next best thing
00:11:31.180
the next best thing is the next phase of the thing that you are dedicated to and putting your time your
00:11:39.180
energy and your effort in but you're never going to get there because you lack the patience
00:11:43.640
you lack the discipline you lack the intestinal fortitude to see through the tough times and put
00:11:52.100
yourself in the proper position to succeed long term this is why people stay at the same pay this is why
00:12:01.020
people never have healthy relationships this is why people can't get in shape they don't trust the
00:12:08.220
process they don't trust their internal instruments they don't trust their actions and
00:12:13.480
instead they go from you know what they know to be the right actions and trusting the process
00:12:19.980
in any of these areas into this new adjustment thing that they need to they think they need to make
00:12:25.700
you know right away and make all these adjustments and the fucked up thing is guys you never know what's
00:12:31.420
working because you don't know what path you're on
00:12:35.140
you can't become successful in any area by jumping from idea to idea and not putting in the time and
00:12:46.700
not putting in the trust in the process you've got to learn that discipline you have to learn to trust
00:12:52.600
your instruments you have to learn to trust your indicators and to trust the plan that you're on
00:12:59.360
because if you don't trust and you don't believe you will never accomplish anything you'll be the
00:13:05.860
guy like i always say say it with me sitting on the bar stool on tuesday afternoon at 4 p.m drinking a
00:13:12.600
beer bitching about how the world fucked them over and i know that's not what you want but i see so many
00:13:18.520
of you guys dm and me messaging me writing in emails that are indicative of this mindset
00:13:25.100
trust your process do the work complete your five tasks on the power list every day and if you're
00:13:35.800
doing those things if you're honestly doing them shit will work it might take longer than you think
00:13:43.400
it might not be overnight success it might not be a trillion dollars in one fucking week like the
00:13:49.760
internet says you might not get uh ripped abs in fucking seven minutes but shit will happen things
00:13:59.240
will work the process will pay dividends you just have to learn to pay attention to your actions trust
00:14:08.600
your actions believe in your actions and stay with your actions when shit gets hairy that's where most
00:14:17.040
people fuck up that's where you're fucking up so quit
