| 0:00.0 | Good morning everyone. Welcome to the Increase Your Empy Podcast, episode 1,953. I want to read another excerpt from the book Relentless by Tim Grover. He says this, quote, years ago, I went with Michael to an FBI training facility where there's a practice range for the most elite sharpshooters in the world. And Michael, we're talking about Michael |
| 0:21.4 | Jordan. There's one guy out there alone, practicing his craft over and over. The target is |
| 0:27.5 | 400 yards away. That's four football fields. He has to get in his truck, drive to the target, |
| 0:34.3 | set it up, and drive back to where we're standing. He gets his gun, looks in the scope, takes aim, one shot. |
| 0:42.3 | Then we get into the truck with him and drive back to the target. |
| 0:46.0 | He hit it dead in the center. |
| 0:49.7 | Michael asked him, how many people use that target range? |
| 0:53.3 | He said, just me. He was alone working on this one |
| 0:57.8 | shot over and over. So when people in the military need someone who can hit that kind of target, |
| 1:04.3 | they call him. No one knows what this guy does every single day to be this good people just know that he can deliver |
| 1:13.2 | results figure out what you do then do it and do it better than anyone else and then let everything |
| 1:21.1 | else you do build around that close quote i love this story i love it because it goes back to a phrase we said a long time ago |
| 1:32.5 | that people praise in public what you practice in private the hours the repetitions the days |
| 1:42.1 | the failures to get really really good at what you do, willing to be |
| 1:45.8 | bad in order to be good. What does that look like for you? What is the thing you need to keep |
| 1:52.7 | practicing, keep honing, even if you need to figure out how to do it, but what do you need to get |
| 1:58.6 | better at and sharpen every single day to be better at your craft? |
| 2:03.3 | Only you know what that is. |
| 2:05.1 | Now you've got to figure out how to sharpen it just like this sharpshooter we're talking about. |
| 2:10.2 | Have a great day and we'll do it again tomorrow. |
