Welcome to the game to your life. I'm Dave Anderson. In this episode, I want to talk about

six truths about change. You know, you hear so much about change. And you've got to

change this. You've got to change that. And sometimes we look in the mirror and we know what we need to

change. And we can look in the past and see what changes have worked and which don't. But we really have to

understand some key things about change. Your change is going to frustrate us. It can wear you out.

We've got to make it work for us. And if you think about the difference between the four

performance groups we talk about in these episodes, based on my book Unstoppable. If you haven't

read it yet, it talks about four different types of performance mindsets, undertakers, caretakers,

playmakers, and game changers.

And what causes that person to get up to that game changer status? It just doesn't happen

overnight. It doesn't happen because they just want it to happen. Somewhere along the line,

they start making changes and how they think in their personal philosophy and their daily activities and the way

they follow through also changes on what they're not going to do anymore.

People they're not going to associate with.

Habits they're going to break, activities they're not going to engage in.

And so it's change that really gets you from one group to the next.

So we need to understand more about how it works.

I want to share six simple truths about change,

and I hope that there is at least one or two in there

that can help you make the necessary change you need

to either get up to that next performance level,

or if you're already there, stay there longer and go even higher.
