How to Unleash Your Potential: Stop Excuses, Start Executing

All right, guys, I'm super happy that you're here with me today. I hope you have an amazing day. I want to share with you something that I did about a year ago. Actually, it might have been two years ago. We had a group that we were streaming online, several thousand people actually, that tune into a broadcast that we did called Morning Motivation. And I shared with them a few strategies on how to really level up and increase your ability to unleash your potential. I want to share these with you today. I hope it's something that brings you value. I hope it's something that you'll be able to take note of and I look forward to talking with you more tomorrow So let's get right into it What I want to talk about today is plain and simple Unleashing your potential the bottom line is you have to start unleashing your true potential And the only way you're going to do that ultimately and I know we we have thousands of people all over the world kind of tuning in We're on facebook live. We're on morning motivation inside the elite group and other things So I want to speak to all of you. And the bottom line is everyone has more potential that they can unleash. And you have to ask yourself, are you limiting yourself through your limiting beliefs? And the bottom line is you can do way more than you think you can do. You have the potential and you have the energy and you have the ability to do everything that you want to do. Successful people think both. They don't think either or. Don't get caught up and I've got a job and I've got a family and I've got work. So in order for you to truly unleash your potential, what do you've got to do? You got to do a few things. And the first is you've got to just stop making excuses. And these excuses might be specific or they might be indirect. These excuses may be, I'm dealing with something right now and you're trying to rationalize it by saying, I'm learning a lesson here. Or I had someone the other day that invested over a million dollars in a franchise and they were telling themselves they're learning to grow through this experience because they had a bad experience and it's a negative deal. And I said, sometimes it's just a bad experience. Move on. You got to learn to just stop making excuses and start focusing on solutions. Like one of my mentors, Jason Brown, always says, start from solution. Because if you don't start from solution and stop making excuses, you're focused on the problem. You're not focused on ideas. You're not creative. You're not abundant thinking. So stop making excuses and start from solution That how you going to unleash your potential Next thing I want you to do is I want you to value execution more than you value knowledge Now, why would I say that? Here's the bottom line. Everybody thinks knowledge is power. Knowledge is not power. Knowledge applied is power. So you have to value execution. I will give $1,000 for a guy that is more motivated to act than I am someone who's more motivated to learn. Because the bottom line is the best learning is done while you're taking action. So you have to stop making excuses and you have to stop worrying about learning and planning and start executing. Stop making excuses, start executing. The other thing I want you to do is I want you to put this in your mind. A mentor of mine, T. Harv Eker, who wrote The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, has told me many times, many of you probably heard this, you can make reasons or you can make results. You can't make both. You can't rationalize and talk about things and then go try to get results. You can have results or you can have reasons. You can make excuses or you can make money, one or the other. There's no in-between on that. There's no gray area. There's no I'm evolving from this situation I'm learning about to the next one. You can make reasons or you can make results, period. So you have to stop, once again, stop making excuses, start executing, and stop worrying about all the detail, and start, almost start, to become someone who's hardwired for results. And that's the fourth thing I wanted to talk about. And that is, you have to hardwire your brain. Because here's the problem. Most of you are acting 90% on willpower, and willpower is in limited supply. In fact, the irony of willpower is the more you use willpower, the less you get. The more you use willpower, the weaker it gets. Have you ever done that? Like you're all motivated, you're excited, you're grinding, and you're forcing yourself to do it, and you're just expending so much energy. I promise you that people are hardwired for success, spend far less energy. I was listening to my mentor, Alex Morton, the other day doing a seven-figure mentorship call, and the guy was on freaking fire, and I was getting worn out just like listening to him and he could go for hours and days like that You wonder why he can go to 30 countries in 20 days It because he hardwired He hardwired for success He doesn make excuses He absolutely executes doesn worry about the detail and he learns along the way And he also makes results, not reasons. And he's hardwired. When you hardwire yourself for success through daily rituals, when you're talking about personal development, there's a big, but a subtle difference between personal development and growing and daily rituals. See, personal development is the act of learning and growing and you can study and do, but it doesn't really create results. It's the application of personal development that creates results. Daily rituals of doing personal development, affirmations, motivation, things like that, those things are action-oriented. That's why when you do daily rituals long enough, you get hardwired to do them. And then you're not thinking about, hey, I'm going to go do some personal development. I'm going to learn. I'm going to read a book. You just automatically do that. You pull three books out and you put them in your backpack when you're jumping on the plane to go somewhere. You pull things in your iPods. You wake up and you roll over and like me this morning, like my eyes are half open and I'm hitting play on one of the five podcasts I'm listening to all the time because I know if I'm listening to Ed Milet, Gary V, you know, any of these guys you can learn from, I'm going to get motivated, inspired. I'm going to wake up. I'm going to move forward. And then I'm going to jump into my daily rituals. But my daily rituals are no longer willpower forced. They're habits, right? So you got to ask yourself, what do you want in life? What do you want in life? Because you can't just work on motivation. You can't just work on willpower. You have to deeply want something. Figure out what you want and then spend all your time getting it. Stop living life reactive. Be proactive. So if you want to truly unleash your potential, I want you to do a couple of things. And don't do it tomorrow. Don't do it next week. not this weekend when you get time. Do it as soon as the call's over. Write down your goal, your top goal. If you don't know what it is now, you should be doing that instead of listening to this morning motivation. Write down a goal, any goal. Just start with something. Number two, write down three to five things you going to do differently than you currently doing Don do this like I want to read and motivate and meditate and affirmations and listen to this call and stuff because you already been doing that If you want to unleash your potential and level up write down every day three things you don normally do and start doing those and then do them consistently So write down a goal, write down three to five things you're going to do differently, and then go do it. It's time to act, create action. You don't unleash your potential doing anything you're currently doing active. Because even if you're doing things outside your normal comfort zone and you're growing, you can unleash your potential even more, I promise you. Keep doing that and do three more things outside your comfort zone. So here's the bottom line. I want you to get busier because busier will make you more productive. I was listening to Tony Robbins this morning and he was talking about how he's running 52 companies globally. 52. Most of us are freaking trip over ourselves running one. 52 companies and he's actively involved in 12. He's looking to feed a billion people, looking to, man, there's so many things a guy's doing, I don't even know how he does it, but I do. He's unleashing his potential. He unleashes his potential. If you wanna unleash your potential, the fact of the matter is, you've gotta stop making excuses. You've gotta value execution over knowledge. You've gotta create results, not reasons. And it's time to hardwire yourself so you don't spend 90% of your time trying to learn and grow and develop. That's just hardwired habits. You're actually executing. So that's the message I wanted to give you here today. I hope it gives you a few ideas. I hope it generates a few thoughts in your mind. Here's the bottom line. It's never too late for you to start living the life you were meant to live. It never, ever is too late to start doing the things you want to do. The past is the past. Future hasn't happened. All you have is right now. All you have is when you hit disconnect on this call, you can write some goals, create three or five things, and go freaking do it. And if you do that tomorrow, you'll be satisfied, more fulfilled. You'll be more productive. And I promise you, if you do that, you'll see more success. It's time to unleash your potential. You have far more in you than you give yourself credit. You absolutely have the power to do it on your own, regardless of your circumstances, your environment, or everything. Because success begins within. It's not based on your outside circumstances. And there's so many examples of that. So I hope you have an amazing day. We'll look forward to talking with you again tomorrow.
