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

the six common temptations of playmakers. If you've listened to past episodes or you've read my book Unstoppable,

you know, I talk about four different types of mindsets that performers have, undertakers,

caretakers, playmakers, and game changers. And really, you'll find those four in any organization,

any type of industry. And most people are a blend of the four, but there's one that dominates.

And the playmaker is close to's one that dominates. And the

playmaker is close to be in that game changer. Close to be in the game changer who's more

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

integrity. But they're just lacking consistency. So why do they lack consistency? Well, there are a number

of reasons. There are some temptations

that are very common to the playmaker that prevents them from getting to that next step. And I want to

make you aware of them so you can face them and fix them if they're affecting you and avoid them

if they're not. But first, it's time for our quick hit Q&A.

As you know, if you've listened to past episodes, you can post a question that I'll address on our Twitter if you use Twitter at Learn to Lead 100 or our Facebook, Facebook.com slash the game change your life.

Or if you use neither of those, you can email to the producer of this program, Ryan the Killer Coda. Spell it out like it sounds, R-Y-A-N-The-Killer, Kota, C-O-T-A, at Learn2-Lead.com, and he will get it to me. And so here we go. This one is from Matthew. I think a lot of folks can relate to this one. He says, hi, Dave. Love the podcast, the books, and the courses. Your mindset is unbelievable and has helped me tremendously. What's the best way

to combat complacency? I have a tendency to work really hard and stay extremely focused

when things are going bad, but sometimes I have a tendency to lose that level of focus when

things start to go good.

Matthew, join the club.

Let me tell you what you just bring up is a really important point.
