Welcome to the Game Changer Life podcast. I'm Dave Anderson.

I want to talk about the power of commitments. Commitments,

plural, not commitment. That's something different. Maybe we'll talk about that some other time,

but this is the power of commitments, keeping your commitments. All right. I mean,

think about the last time somebody failed to keep a commitment to you.

How'd you like it? How'd you like it? How did you feel? Ticked, misled, let down, maybe even

lied to, maybe eventually you got bitter. Well, the same thing happens when we don't keep commitments to others.

And, you know, living a game changer life, becoming that game changer, that bring in it every

day type of performer, the person that is in the zone, high energy, high focus, high effort,

big heart, big drive every day, consistently so.

You don't get there by walking over the backs of other people.

You don't do it by using other people.

You don't get it by just leaving collateral damage in your way as you climb to the top.

You get there the right way.

You get there with integrity.

Yeah, you got to have competence.

You got to have heart, drive, focus. You got to have integrity. Or you won't sustain it. And a big part of integrity is keeping your commitments. Keep your commitments. Now, a few things on commitments. First of all, people make them too easily. Some of them, they get pressured into it,

they get back to a corner, okay, I'll do it, or we'll meet, or we'll get together next day.

Rule number one, don't let your mouth write checks, your back can't cash, okay. Don't say you're going to do it if you're not absolutely

sure you're going to do it be very careful what commitments you make because you got to keep it

you got to keep it you're going to be expected to keep it if your word's worth anything is your

word worth gold or is your word dirt i mean mean, you got gold, you got dirt. They both are into ground, you know, but gold is refined, it's purified. That's, that's what your word's got to be like. Right? So you've got to be really careful. Don't ever get pressured into a commitment. Don't let somebody back you into a corner, you know, because they'll do that.
