All right. Welcome back to the daily mastermind George Wright III [00:00:10] with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. And today I want to talk to you about [00:00:15] the one thing I think you can do to really change the results you're getting in your life.
In other [00:00:20] words, one single strategy. That can change everything.
But before we start talking [00:00:25] about that, I want to ask you a question. How are you doing so far this year? You [00:00:30] know, sometimes we just get on, I kind of riff with strategies and ideas and tactics. [00:00:35] Different formulas and things that you can use for success. But I really want to ask you, and I want you to really ask [00:00:40] yourself this question. Are you getting the results that you want in your life so [00:00:45] far this year, we're getting towards the end of January.
And I know some of you have actually [00:00:50] reached out to me and said that you're feeling kind of stuck. You're not feeling very productive. You're not as far [00:00:55] along as you think you should have been. You're not quite sure why, but I [00:01:00] want you to ask yourself the question. You know, how are you doing? And what is the reason [00:01:05] that you're feeling the way that you're feeling? You know, I want you to ask yourself. [00:01:10] What is it that you're feeling. Are you feeling a lack of clarity? Are you [00:01:15] feeling like your results are not where you want them to be?
Are you not happy with the type of [00:01:20] things that you're doing? Maybe the activities that you have in your business or in your, [00:01:25] in your life in general? What is it that's making you feel this way? What is [00:01:30] it that you're feeling. Are you feeling that lack of passion or purpose? Maybe you're not motivated.
[00:01:35] Maybe you're, you're not sure if you're on the right direction or not, or the right path [00:01:40] towards, uh, you know, accomplishing and creating the goal that you want and the life that you want to live. [00:01:45] But really, I also want you to ask yourself, what is it that's holding you back. Why [00:01:50] aren't you getting the results that you need to get? Now I want you to ask yourself that question, [00:01:55] because it could be the people that you're surrounding yourself with. It could be [00:02:00] that it's more than just the path that you're on. [00:02:05] Maybe it's something that you need to do.
That's a little bit different. Maybe you don't know what the answer is. [00:02:10] Maybe you're looking for solutions and answers, or you're just caught up in that treadmill. In [00:02:15] your mind, you know, you know what I'm talking about, the one where you just constantly. Thinking and [00:02:20] analyzing and trying to figure out what to do. But I want to ask.
I. I want you to ask yourself that [00:02:25] question, because I also want to point out a couple of things. First of all. I found [00:02:30] out in my life that thinking is not going to create the solutions. most of the [00:02:35] time it's action. That's going to help you to do that. So, so many times we sit down and we think [00:02:40] I'm going to figure out what I need to do next.
I need to figure out what it is. That's holding me back. I need to [00:02:45] figure out what I need to do differently. Well, who I need to surround myself with what thing I need to [00:02:50] be working on. And what we're doing is we're losing track. Of the [00:02:55] real picture. We really don't have perspective. And so we've got to remind ourselves that [00:03:00] progress to perfection.
Is the key. Not [00:03:05] perfectly achieving, but achieving to perfection. And what I [00:03:10] mean by that is that progress is the key productivity is the key...
[00:03:15] taking action is the key. You find your answers on the way [00:03:20] to getting results, you don't find the answers to get results. Does that make [00:03:25] sense? And so I want to talk to you about what I believe is probably. One [00:03:30] of the best strategies that you can apply.
And that's this idea of the mastermind. It's the reason [00:03:35] it's the solution. And the reason that I created the daily mastermind, I created the daily mastermind. [00:03:40]
For myself. So that I could find ways to have daily focus [00:03:45] on what matters most. You know, I talked about that a little bit on the new Franklin planner [00:03:50] podcasts that we're launching. I did a strategic Alliance with the Franklin planner [00:03:55] organization. And it gave me some great reminders that. You've got to [00:04:00] find ways to create daily focus on what matters most. [00:04:05] And so the purpose of the mastermind for me was to have a time and a place that I could go [00:04:10] for five to 10 minutes and focus on mind, body, money, business, creating the life and [00:04:15] the lifestyle that I want to create to start my day.
For me, it was starting the day. [00:04:20] It's the bookends of starting the day and ending the day, right. That really helped me to feel [00:04:25] fulfilled. Passionate purpose filled. And so my experience [00:04:30] was, and I'll just give you kind of a little bit of feedback for me that it was podcasts. Podcasts we're [00:04:35] away for me to just jump in. And start listening and hearing and [00:04:40] associating and creating my own mastermind. See, that's one of the benefits we have nowadays that you [00:04:45] forget about.
We have the benefit that we can actually mastermind with some of the [00:04:50] top minds, the top ideas, the top solutions we can gain more [00:04:55] perspective. So I started listening to podcasts in the mornings. And, you know, I wasn't, [00:05:00] maybe, maybe I started out looking for some particular solutions. And there are [00:05:05] days when I have my list of top podcasts.
I'll kind of shuffle through whether it's work or [00:05:10] business or, you know, it might be, you know, perspective, spirituality, mindfulness. [00:05:15] But the ideas, and solutions, and perspective
that came from podcasts were really helpful [00:05:20] for me. And what I learned is that. Most of the answers that I got [00:05:25] were not ones I was looking for. You know, even just this morning, for example, I listened to a podcast from [00:05:30] Russell Brunson and all he was doing was really giving his perspective. On what some things are [00:05:35] that he's gone through. And so when you create a
mastermind, when you [00:05:40] create this, and that's why I have this daily mastermind. Is that you can find ways to [00:05:45] relate. Not just get strategies and tactics, but relate to what's happening in [00:05:50] your life. And I created the mastermind in order to give you [00:05:55] strategies, tips, inspiration, motivation for mind, body, money, business, and lifestyle, [00:06:00] because those are all areas.
The core areas that I feel will help bring you more fulfillment. [00:06:05] And create the life that you were meant to live. Because remember the [00:06:10] randomness of these topics also can line up with. [00:06:15] Timing. You know, the timing of what you're going to have. And what you're going to do is, is super, super [00:06:20] important because sometimes you don't know what you're looking for. But the [00:06:25] timing and the things. Line up. And so all of these core areas
are [00:06:30] important and the mastermind provides reminders, and lessons, and mentorship.
The ideas that [00:06:35] I have for 25 years, I've been around some of the biggest thought leaders. And experts out there and I want to [00:06:40] share some of those ideas and things with you, but more important than anything. It's [00:06:45] about timing. Sometimes those things will line up. In the [00:06:50] right time for you. And so the key to be able to find ways [00:06:55] like the daily mastermind, to be able to help you to create progress to perfection. [00:07:00] Is to create habits around a daily ritual. Because [00:07:05] (consistency) is the most important thing.
Let me explain to you what I mean. We all need to make decisions and commitments to [00:07:10] achieve our best life.
You've made a decision. You want to accomplish something in your life. And [00:07:15] hopefully you've made a commitment to, to do that because making a [00:07:20] decision is not enough. We know that making a commitment to your decision is far more important. But, what [00:07:25] trumps all of that. Is consistency. Consistency is really the [00:07:30] key. To persevering and creating results in the [00:07:35] end. But the only way you can stay consistent is to make a habit
of it. Without [00:07:40] consistency, your will, your motivation.
It can't maintain it. Can't [00:07:45] sustain because you're going to have days you don't feel like doing things. So habits will [00:07:50] create consistency. As you can see, that's why I call it the daily mastermind. I have [00:07:55] worldwide trademarks to daily mastermind because I believe it's a daily, consistent effort [00:08:00] you need to put in in order to create your best life. But I'm here to tell you that it [00:08:05] takes creating a habit.
And that means you've got to create boundaries. You've got to [00:08:10] create parameters in your life that are non-negotiables. And I like to [00:08:15] call those daily rituals. Um, you know, the, the, the book by Gary [00:08:20] Keller called the one thing is one that I refer back to many times. And the one thing [00:08:25] talks about the idea that you need to find the one domino. That if you can knock that down, [00:08:30] we'll knock down all the other dominoes.
If you know what I'm talking about from that analogy. In other words, what's the [00:08:35] one thing that if you do it, It makes everything else. [00:08:40] Happen or everything else? Irrelevant. And, you know, I used to think, for example, [00:08:45] for myself, it was a workout in the morning. The workouts would get my mind going and get my body going.
And, [00:08:50] you know, when I was feeling good about myself, you know, even more things would go right during the day. But as I [00:08:55] dug a little bit deeper, I realized, and that's why I told you I started to double down on [00:09:00] podcasts because. The podcasts were actually a catalyst, a domino [00:09:05] to help me. Start turning on my mind, getting positive.
So sometimes, you know, things [00:09:10] outside of ourselves, right? Listening to, you know, experts and mentors and motivators. Some, [00:09:15] some mornings, it might be David Goggins. You know, it was, you know, really hardcore and, and other mornings, it might be like a [00:09:20] Joel Olsteen or someone that's a little bit more laid back.
But when you're prepared, because [00:09:25] you have to know and you have to prepare yourself. That's another suggestion. I have find ways to be [00:09:30] prepared ahead of time. So when you don't feel like it, you will act in spite of your mood. But [00:09:35] find the
one thing
that you can create consistency with and know yourself. [00:09:40] So many of us are putting this big, you know, pressure on ourselves to do [00:09:45] mindset journal. You know, prayer, meditation, workout, meals, nutrition, all these [00:09:50] things.
When you need to find that one thing now, for me, it was the daily mastermind. [00:09:55] For many of you, it's the same thing. It's being able to just associate with. Someone, [00:10:00] something, ideas, strategies, things that will take you to the next level. And [00:10:05] so. I really believe that if you will re. If you'll tune [00:10:10] into some form of masterminding, whether it's podcast, whether it's the daily mastermind, [00:10:15] whether it's individuals in your life. And create some consistency around that ritual, [00:10:20] that one thing. That you'll start to see a lot of changes in your life. And I [00:10:25] want you to remind yourself that it's not finding the answer it's progressing [00:10:30] and being productive and active and consistent. And you'll find the [00:10:35] answers along the way. So remember that, and this is so here's the, here's my final reminder: for you.
This [00:10:40] morning It only takes one key thought or idea to have a breakthrough. [00:10:45] One key thought or I did have a breakthrough, might be a daily breakthrough. It might be in your life. It [00:10:50] might be in the year. But that that right idea or key thought has to [00:10:55] line up with the timing as well. And the only way you can have that happen [00:11:00] is through consistency.
Sometimes I've heard ideas over and over and [00:11:05] over again, maybe, you know what I'm talking about. And, but, but when the timing was [00:11:10] right. It resonated. And when I look back on that, like Wayne Dyer talks about looking back on the [00:11:15] tapestry of your life. It gave meaning to the fact that it was the timing that really made it [00:11:20] happen. It wasn't the idea. And so stop getting caught up with the ideas and [00:11:25] start working on consistency. And the one thing that will help you to [00:11:30] go to the next level.
And I truly believe the mastermind is one of those things because being in a [00:11:35] mastermind, whether it's the daily mastermind, you know, our online mastermind, whether it's your own [00:11:40] personal mastermind in your area, It's the influence of others, the influence of ideas and [00:11:45] strategies and timing that will keep you consistent. We'll allow you to [00:11:50] persevere. And tell you find the solutions and strategies, because I truly [00:11:55] believe that most of the solutions that you need, you already have inside you, they just have not [00:12:00] been triggered yet.
They've been not pulled out yet. You haven't had the right timing happen yet. So the [00:12:05] final thing I'm going to leave you with is
take the focus off yourself. And place it on something [00:12:10] outside of yourself. That will help you to stay consistent. Maybe it's your [00:12:15] mission. Maybe it's a purpose. Maybe it's other people. But most of the time, When [00:12:20] you're focused on you, that's when you're caught up in all those negative emotions or the things that hold [00:12:25] you back, or the self limiting beliefs or the, you know, imposter syndrome or whatever it is. [00:12:30] Take the focus off yourself and find a way to create daily rituals [00:12:35] that keep you consistent.
And I promise you, you will start seeing results. Stop [00:12:40] looking for the end goal. Start thinking about the consistency of the path. That's my message for you today. [00:12:45] I hope you have an amazing day. Do me a favor. And, um, actually if you haven't already go head over to the [00:12:50] apple or the Android store and download the evolution X mastermind mobile app, [00:12:55] it's free. The evolution X mastermind, mobile app.
It's a new mobile app that we're [00:13:00] launching. That is a free mastermind. Now we'll have some paid sections of that. If you want [00:13:05] to join our academy or a mentoring, things like that. But, but there is going to be a ton of resources in [00:13:10] there access to both, or actually two or three of our podcasts, a lot of courses, free [00:13:15] authority, marketing stuff.
There's a ton of things there. I hope that that whether it's the daily mastermind [00:13:20] or the evolution X mastermind, mobile app will be some resources that will help you. [00:13:25] And that's why I do it. So I'll be, have an amazing day share this show. It would mean a lot to me and I [00:13:30] appreciate. You and I'll talk with you more tomorrow.
