You're listening to The Game Changer Life with Dave Anderson, the show about how to thrive, take charge of your mindset, and be unstoppable in business and all aspects of your life.

This is the Game Change Your Life podcast with Dave Anderson.

Welcome to the Game Change Your Life. I'm Dave Anderson. In this episode, I want to talk about

make today a masterpiece. Make today a masterpiece. You know, I find whether I'm dealing with non-profit

organizations, for-profit organizations, athletes, getting ready for a game, getting ready for a season.

There's too much a prevailing mindset that somehow we have throwaway days. Throwaway days. Well, we didn't

know much, but it's only Tuesday. You know, the weekend's coming up. Well, we didn't do much, but, you know, the first half was kind of slow, but we'll always make it up on the second half. Or, you know, it's still early in the year. Yeah, we're not where we want to be, but we have a lot of time to make up for, you know, our shortfalls. And I know that we say this with good intentions and to purvey optimism,

but if we're not careful, if we're not careful, borrowing, borrowing credibility, borrowing

possibility, borrowing productivity, borrowing positivity from the future to relieve doing anything today,

to take the focus off of being accountable today, to take the focus on the

pressure, the positive pressure off of performing today can really hurt us. We've got to make today

a masterpiece. You hear me say all the time, there's power in now, but there's only power in now

if you use now. And so we're going to talk about four or five ways to make today a masterpiece. Get more

out of each day. Don't get through a day. Get from a day. And this will apply to whatever you do,

because we only have so many days. We need to max it out. We need to ring it out. But it all takes

a mindset shift. And you know, if you look at our four groups of

performers that I talk about in my book, Unstoppable, Undertakers, Caretakers, Playmakers, Playmakers,

game changers. And I talk about the primary difference is that the game changer is more

consistently bringing effort, energy, enthusiasm, excellence, passion, attitude, focus, and integrity

every day.

Every day. That's a huge separator. They're bringing it far more often. And that's a key. You've got to bring those things every day. This is a separator between the four groups. If you've read my book, it's not rocket science. And even if you haven't, you've heard me talk about this in the past. There is a phrase I use over and over again in that book called EdMed, EDMED. Every day means every day. Every day means every day. That's a mindset. It's a way of life. There's certain things that got to be done every day. Every day has to count. Every day we have to give our all. Every day, we want to be totally used up at the end of that day.

It's a mindset, EdMED.
