Building Resolve: The Entrepreneur's Foundation for Rapid Growth

All right, welcome back to the Daily Mastermind. George Wright III here with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. We got a big, big week this week. I'm excited about the event that we have coming up on Thursday night. Make sure you don't miss that. Six o'clock Mountain Standard Time. You can check the Daily Mastermind page for details. but what I want to do this week is I want to get really really deep into how to help you to grow your business you know we'll we'll toggle back and forth on the mastermind between mindset money business and lifestyle but this week it's all business I want to talk to you about how you can start to create solutions and how you can start to create some momentum in your business and in your life you know they're going to go hand in hand I know most of you out there are looking and looking for answers. So many people right now are looking for that silver bullet, excuse me, but success requires the process. Success requires getting back to the basics. And so what we're going to do today is we're going to talk over some of the basics and I'm going to get you refocused on some ways that you can get on that path to creating massive change and success and keep that consistent mindset because the basics are needed over and over. You know, if you've ever played a sport, you know that you have to go back to the fundamentals and you got to get back to the basics. But what we're going to do is we're going to pepper in some strategies. We're going to give you some details of things you can use and some tactics. And, you know, look, over the course of my career, I have continued to work on the fundamentals. But keep in mind, you're at a different pace and stage and place in your life right now. And as those stages and steps and places change, the fundamentals got to change as well. So over the next five days, let's go ahead and jump right into some things like focus and execution and accountability and things that I can do to help you. But I want to start you with the quote of the day. So if you have the Daily Mastermind mobile app, the quote of the day is, when prosperity comes, do not use all of it. When prosperity comes, do not use all of it. I think that's a really smart thing. And I want you to think about that for a minute when it comes to taking advantage of prosperity you have in your life. So today, what I want to do is I want to talk to you about creating more resolve in your business. What do I mean by resolve Well listen a lot of us tend to make decisions in our business A lot of us tend to make commitments And very few of us just create this character of resolve And the resolve meaning deciding firmly on a course of action. And then that determination to be able to follow it through because so many times entrepreneurs fall prey to shiny object syndrome. So many times we find ourselves chasing different things. So the very first step you've got to have, if you want to make major changes and you really want to take your life to the next level, is resolve. It's way better than making a decision. It's way better than having commitment. You need both of those as well. But in my opinion, having resolve, having that firm desire and decision to take a course of action and to stay determined to take it is what's the most important thing. Now think carefully about what you want. Make sure that let's, I mean, let's kind of go through this process with you. When you're making a decision in your business, really think through what it takes to make a solid decision. You know, is it something that you're passionate about? Is it something that you feel will get you where you want to be? Or are you just trying to help placate other people? When you make a decision, which is that first step to creating resolve, you've got to feel that you're going the right direction. And generally speaking, there's not really a wrong direction. You've got to understand that. When you make a decision, there are many right and many wrong decisions. But if you are a good, solid, committed entrepreneur, you're going to be able to pivot. You're going to be able to make a change. You've done it to this point in your life. You can continue to do it. And just make one decision at a time. So many of us are trying to make so many decisions and line up so many things in our life. You know what it is you're working on. Find that thing that you know you've got to make a decision on and make a decision. But then the next step is even more important, committing to that decision. Because once you've made the decision, it's all about the follow through. Prepare yourself because you're going to have opposition. You're going to have odds come against you. You're going to have people try to persuade you you're going the wrong way. Don't let that persuade you. Don't let other people's opinions give you a hard time. And don't let people manipulate you. So many people are trying to get you to follow them, follow their direction. When you know down in your heart, you know what your unique talents are, you know what your abilities are, and you know what you're trying to accomplish in your life. And they need to be things that are aligned with what your true purpose and passion are But beware of those shiny objects And it not always people that are negative It might be successful people that say yeah come along on my journey. Come along on my ride. That's one of the things we've got to be able to recognize. And also, so many people make decisions, but then they rationalize changing their decision. Don't be one of those individuals that rationalizes adjusting your course every other week. Make a commitment. So we talk about getting a key decision in an area of your life you're going to pursue, a firm decision, and then making a commitment to follow it. Follow that decision through. You know, I love this quote by Peter Drucker. Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes, no plans. Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes, but no plans. How many of us have made decisions to do things, to lose weight, to grow our business, to expand, to do marketing, to create an offer, and we don't stay committed to the path. Commitment is key. Now, let me offer you one particular thing that I think will help you to lead you down the road to the ultimate goal, which is resolve. And that is, after you've made your decision and after you've made your commitment, flood yourself with certainty and learn to have faith. Create a ritual for helping you to build your faith. These are things like affirmations and repetition and written goals. If you, you know, and you got to realize that faith is a decision. You know, many of us think, oh man, you know, my belief and faith. Faith and belief are two totally different things. Faith is a decision. It's a decision to believe when you don't have the results to prove it. When you don't have the experience to create the belief yet. And the only way you can really do this is to make that decision of faith and build rituals daily that will help you to flood yourself with certainty. Affirmations, written goals, encouragement, support, things like our mastermind. When you surround yourself with the right people, your faith will grow. Your commitment, decision, and consistency will grow. But remember, it's a daily basis. It's a daily project. You've got to focus this first step I wanted to talk to you about today in growing your business and your life, going to the next level. it's going to take resolve so as you make a key decision and you stay committed and you gain faith guess what you end up with resolve you resolve to the fact that you are going to accomplish your goals that you are going to become a better version of yourself that you are going to grow your business that you are going to accomplish your dreams and priorities that you have in your life You get a level of resolve. And all of us, especially as entrepreneurs, high achievers, business owners, all of us could stand to have a little bit more resolve with the things that we're doing in our life. And so I want to end this podcast episode for you with a poem. It's a poem I've used many, many times over the course of my career. It's one that's just kind of a little motivational just to kind of leave you on your way as we go through the week here. When things go wrong as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high and you want to smile but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit. Rest if you must, but don't you quit. For life is queer with its twists and turns, and every one of us sometimes learns. And many a failure turns around when he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up, though the pace seems slow. You may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out, the silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far. So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit. It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. That is a great way to end this. I'm telling you right now, if you will make the decisions and commitments, gain a little faith, and just commit to having resolve to grow your business, follow your passion, Discover your purpose. It'll happen. It'll happen. And I want you to join me. Check the link in the podcast here because I'll get the link for the registration for our upcoming event this week on Thursday. It's the launch of the Mastermind Academy. But tomorrow, tomorrow we're going to get talking about some things that I believe you really need to have and that's focus. I know it's not one that entrepreneurs want to hear very often, but focus. I'm going to give you some strategies and things you can use and a little unique tweak to that. So that's my message for today. I hope you have an amazing day. My name is George Wright III, and I will talk with you tomorrow.
