The mess you have in your life, the things you are most ashamed of and embarrassed by that you think are the most insignificant, that disqualify you the most, are probably the very things that will qualify you to connect with another human being in your business or your personal life to change their life.

0:15.6

And don't ever underestimate the ripple effect.

0:17.6

So if you're listening to this or watching it, stop discounting yourself.

0:37.6

Stop carrying these bags of your life of the things you're embarrassed or ashamed of or that you think are insignificant that don't amount to anything. Those are the things. You, precious you, you that could change another precious human being's life in a moment where they need you the most. And if you don't believe you're qualified,

0:41.6

if you don't believe you can do it, you're going to miss those moments in your life. And your entire existence here wasn't what it was supposed to be. And my let, welcome to the show.

0:49.4

Welcome back. Welcome back. It's great to be here, man. It's the one I'm looking forward to the most.

0:53.9

So good to have

0:55.0

you. Your book is amazing, the power of one more. Thank you. Love it. I'm not at all surprised.

1:01.9

Now, for people that haven't read it, for people that feel like they're wasting their time, they're not getting the results they want, what is one thing that they could be doing right now that would turn things around for them? Well, actually doing one more. So, you know, we always talk you and I both about self-confidence and the fact that building self-confidence is the process of keeping the promises you make to yourself. And if you lack self-confidence, you've got a relationship and reputation with yourself that's not very favorable. And so the baseline way to get self-confidence is you keep the promises you make to yourself. But in life, as you know, we don't get like our goal, we get about 25% of our goals. But we ultimately always get our standards. Long term you will get your standards. So the question becomes what's the standard need to be that? And that standard needs to be, you keep the promises you make to yourself and one more.

2:02.5

So if you're going to do 30 minutes on the treadmill every day, you don't do 30 minutes. You do the 30 minutes, you do one more. You're going to make 10 contacts in a day. You don't make 10 contacts in a day. You do the 10 contacts and you make one more. Now what happens is you start stacking up those one mores. You're going to tell Lisa you love her every day. you don't just tell her that. You tell her one more time every single day.

2:02.1

So you start stacking up mathematically all of these one mores. You've just done more so you're better, but you've changed the standard of your life. And you've built this superhuman type self-confidence that I normally do what I say I'm going to do. I do one more than I'm saying I'm going to do. and that's something almost nobody's willing to do,

2:17.4

so I'm going to get things almost nobody's going to get.

2:19.1

So that's one thing initially everybody can do.

2:21.4

Yes. I do one more than I'm saying going to do. And that's something almost nobody's willing to do. So I'm going to get things almost nobody's going to get.

2:19.1

So that's one thing initially everybody can do. Yeah. So you are one of the sweetest guys on planet Earth, like in real life. Thank you. But also in real life, you're one of the most intense guys, which I really respond to. So my journey as an entrepreneur was toughening up. I was super weak as a kid, way whiny, like definitely did not

2:36.8

push myself and my parents love them to death, but they didn't know how to push me either.

2:42.7

And so I really, when I went to college, my mom assumed I was going to fail because I was

2:47.1

so profoundly lazy. And so hearing you in the book talk about like pushing to the extreme, like you actually use the word extreme multiple times. And that to expand your capabilities, you have to go into the extreme. Talk to me about that because right now I feel like that's an incredibly unpopular message. It is. And at the same time, it is true. Thank you. And by the way, you talked about it on my show. So there's a part of the book where I talk about extremity expands capacity. Until you push something to the extreme, you don't really stretch your capacity to do it. And so for me, I already know, you know, at this point of my life, we know what we're capable of at one point. So how do we change what we're capable of? And that's with extremity. That's with pushing it to the extreme. I have another chapter in the book where I call it, do one more inconvenience. This is something that if we could train ourselves to do, our entire lives would change, which is that do the inconvenient or difficult thing in your day or in your life, human nature is to avoid that.

3:41.7

You call it being lazy, but it's just to avoid the inconvenient. Napoleon Hill says,

3:46.3

in think and grow rich, which I love, he says, on the other type of temporary pain, you are

3:51.4

introduced to your other self, and that other self produces another life. So what we have to

3:56.7

change, I think, to some extent,
