When you're well prepared, even a surprise doesn't throw you off and it doesn't surprise you.

0:04.6

Even if it is a surprise, it doesn't surprise you because you expected surprises.

Ray ol'a.com.

Work on your game.

I like the approach.

Everybody relates to what Gray is saying is a different way. Work on your game. I like the way he thinks. Work on your fucking game. I like the frameworks that he's put together. Work on your game. And I would highly recommend it to anybody that's trying to work on their game. Work on your fucking game. I think it's a good approach. It's a different approach, too. Hey, you, work on your game. Gave me something really good. What can you gain? Dryolday.com. And his philosophy makes a lot sense. Not only work on your game, perfect your craft. Work on your game. He knows how to communicate in such a fabulous way. I can't say it enough. Work on your game. You're now tuned into the show where you're on the discipline and show up day after day to do the work, the confidence to put yourself out there, boldly and authentically and the mental toughness to continue showing up doing the work, putting yourself out there, even when the success you've expected to achieve has yet to be achieved. And on top of all this, you get a huge dose of personal initiative. That is,

1:14.0

and go get an energy that moves any one of us, including yourself, to go and make things

1:22.0

of frameworks, approaches, insights, strategies, and techniques on underneath the umbrella

1:43.5

occasion? I'm sure

1:44.4

many of you have heard it before. Maybe you have even used it. That's saying is actually a misnomer

1:48.7

because that's not really what happens. That's not really what happens as a general rule. I'm not

1:54.7

saying that every once in a while somebody may not outperform their norms. That sometimes happens in

1:59.6

life, but we want to talk about the general point.

2:03.2

What generally happens, which is not people just all of a sudden rising to the occasion,

2:07.8
