Speaker:So here's the secret
Speaker:implementation is the key to success
Speaker:You should write that word down
Speaker:at the top of your page implementation
Speaker:because one of the biggest mistakes people get when they come here
Speaker:is they think they're coming for more information
Speaker:and you're going to get some incredible information
Speaker:but the information is not the secret.
Speaker:The secret is implementation.
Speaker:You've got to learn to stay focused on doing it.
Speaker:So you'll learn this week how to make that happen more.
Speaker:So here's some thoughts from the book. I dare you.
Speaker:I dare you to play bigger.
Speaker:The biggest secret of successful people, No.
Speaker:One is that they help other people.
Speaker:The reason this community succeeds and just continues to grow.
Speaker:The reason that happens is because they help other people
Speaker:and they thrive by giving their experience to other people.
Speaker:So one of your most valuable possessions
Speaker:are those which can be shared without lessening you.
Speaker:In fact, when you share it, it actually multiplies you.
Speaker:It helps take you to the whole next level.
Speaker:So one
Speaker:of the other big things is one of the priceless few.
Speaker:You have to basically start your own little crusade.
Speaker:What is your why?
Speaker:What makes you tick?
Speaker:And I will tell you that if you're why is more than just your family.
Speaker:If you're why includes other people
Speaker:helping other people succeed,
Speaker:you become more powerful.
Speaker:It's one of the biggest secrets out there.
Speaker:So why once you dare you stop kind of drifting with the crowd.
Speaker:And there's something I want to share with you real quick, something that has been
Speaker:discovered in this book, and you'll see it more as well.
Speaker:But there's something I'm I'm calling the 95%
Speaker:problem, the 95% problem.
Speaker:So what you'll find is that
Speaker:95% of people
Speaker:are right here.
Speaker:Now, some of you right now are in that 95%
Speaker:This is the crowd
Speaker:I actually told some of our people because we had about 30 members
Speaker:show up in inspection world
Speaker:and I had breakfast with them and I told them, I said,
Speaker:you were surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of home inspectors.
Speaker:They had a great show.
Speaker:They did a lot of wonderful people there.
Speaker:I said, But you have one major problem.
Speaker:This is the 95% and you're going to ask people, Should I do this?
Speaker:Should I do that?
Speaker:And they're going to tell you, No, don't be silly.
Speaker:Don't waste your money on that.
Speaker:See, the problem is you can say no, 95 times before you get to the right people
Speaker:that are building really solid companies to actually say, don't do that.
Speaker:Here's the challenge
Speaker:It's easy
Speaker:to stay here, and it's uphill
Speaker:to get to be the four percenters
Speaker:and the one percenters.
Speaker:It's uphill.
Speaker:Which way do you think people travel?
Speaker:Naturally.
Speaker:Do they travel naturally?
Speaker:Uphill or downhill?
Speaker:Do you want to be going downhill or uphill?
Speaker:See, this sounds sounds silly, right?
Speaker:I just asked you a question in your brain said downhill
Speaker:You cannot let your brain control you.
Speaker:You have to tell your brain, no,
Speaker:we're going uphill Do you understand that?
Speaker:Because your brain wants you to take the easy route.
Speaker:And I'll tell you why you're the second.
Speaker:So multiply your daring by 100 fold by sharing its fruits with other people.
Speaker:This is important.
Speaker:This might be one of those, right?
Speaker:Or downers.
Speaker:I want you to take a few notes, because I'm going to tell you.
Speaker:Take a notes Puts it in the brain differently.
Speaker:And I'm trying to point out like this one, you probably should write this one down.
Speaker:So the line of least resistance makes crooked rivers and crooked men
Speaker:Do you get that? The least resistance
Speaker:creates crooked men and crooked rivers.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Old wives require basically no effort
Speaker:Now, I want you to be your best all the time.
Speaker:But as I went to every meeting last night, one of the things I said was,
Speaker:I want you to have your best year every year
Speaker:moving forward.
Speaker:Anybody have a problem with that?
Speaker:Of course not.
Speaker:But is that uphill or downhill?
Speaker:It's uphill and you'll be surprised at some point
Speaker:if I'm sitting on that motorcycle and I'm in I'm pointing downhill
Speaker:and I turn the engine off at some point I'm sliding downhill.
Speaker:I have to give it power and I have to be pointed
Speaker:in the right direction because it does not have reverse on it.
Speaker:I have to be pointed in the right direction before I can go up.
Speaker:And heaven help you if you have no power behind it
Speaker:and you're trying to push it uphill by yourself.
Speaker:You should have seen this trying to get it on the stage last night.
Speaker:So you have to face problems aggressively.
Speaker:And when you face them aggressively, they're half solved.
Speaker:So how to dare?
Speaker:In a moment.
Speaker:Right now it's necessary to agree that living aggressively changes everything.
Speaker:How many of you are willing to admit right now you have to push uphill?
Speaker:If you want to succeed, how many of you are in with that?
Speaker:The rest of the world is going to tell you the opposite.
Speaker:The 95% are going to tell you.
Speaker:You don't have to do that.
Speaker:Don't fall into that trap.
Speaker:So I'm daring you to think bigger, dark, bigger, and be bigger.
Speaker:I'm promise you want a richer life and a more exciting life.
Speaker:I loved it when Rob said up there.
Speaker:Someone said before him, I'm not telling you it's going to be easy.
Speaker:And then Rob says, But it will be worth it.
Speaker:And their lives have been enriched in so many ways.
Speaker:And they have enriched so many other people's lives
Speaker:because they're willing to push uphill all the time.
Speaker:Others will step aside for you because you are now a crusader
Speaker:even better, people will want to come join you and help others as well.
Speaker:Other people will help you when they understand
Speaker:what you're trying to accomplish.
Speaker:So true.
Speaker:There's going to be moments of weakness and depression and laziness,
Speaker:but it's time for battle.
Speaker:So it requires it requires one really constructive
Speaker:step forward
Speaker:I have moments of weakness.
Speaker:I have moments of depression.
Speaker:And I definitely have moments of laziness.
Speaker:Nick Hogan's Heroes.
Speaker:Yes, I know.
Speaker:But I want you to understand
Speaker:that if you have the right people around you encouraging you,
Speaker:you snap out of that.
Speaker:There was one day I was down there just looking at the microwave
Speaker:in our kitchen and Susan looked at me, what what's what's wrong with you?
Speaker:And I said, you know what?
Speaker:I am just tired of some of the bickering and the backbiting
Speaker:that's going on in our industry.
Speaker:And it just I'm just tired of it.
Speaker:I'm thinking about just writing it all off.
Speaker:And she looked at me and she said, Stop it.
Speaker:This is your ministry.
Speaker:Now go help people
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:when you say it that way, it kind of makes sense.
Speaker:But I want you to understand,
Speaker:you've got to take that one forward step, that one swift, constructive action
Speaker:to knock you out of that that little loop sometimes that we all get in.
Speaker:I don't want you to know I'm not immune to it. And I.
