I wanna know what you think about this method. It's really pretty cool. So let's jump right into it. Okay, so this really started out because of improvisation, improvisation groups. And it was called the yes and mindset. So what you do is you accept whatever somebody ahead of you has done and then you add to it and you try to improve upon it. So to give you an example, if there's an actor and he's talking about a guy who walks into the bank and he reaches into his code and he pulls out a and then he hands it to the next guy. The next guy says, and he pulls out a handkerchief and he blows his nose and he walks up to the teller and the teller says, and then they hand it to the next person. The next person adds onto that. Now, what's happened over the years, people have taken this particular process and applied it to business. And this is how it works. Now there's actually five different steps to the yes and progression. And I wanna go over each one with you. The first one is you go out and you grab a business principle that is working well. Okay, so you go out, you find that thing and then you try to improve on it. Now, trying to improve on something that already works does something kind of special. It gives you mental agility. It allows your mind to actually expand and think and come up with new possibilities. But only if you take something that works and you try to expand on it. You say, well, how can I make this bigger better? How can I reach more people with it? How can I make the message stronger? What can you do with that particular method that's already out there that's already working? Number two, you have to do more than what you agreed to do. Everybody approaches every situation with a particular mindset. I was just listening at lunchtime to David Goggins and he was really interesting. If you don't know who he is, look him up. He's a Navy SEAL supposedly one of the toughest guys in the world. And he said that his pinnacle of achievement was becoming a Navy SEAL. Becoming a Navy SEAL was huge to him. That was the big thing and that was the template. That was the template of what a human could do. And when he achieved that, he thought, wow, I did that, I did that. But later on, he got involved in ultra marathons and running 100 mile races and 200 mile races. And it expanded his mind. And he's like, wow, there are people out there that can do more than what a Navy SEAL can do. I wonder what I can do. So you've got to do what you've agreed to do with yourself which you've got to force yourself out of whatever that realm is. Right now, my wife and I are doing workouts and I'm doing pull-ups and she's doing them. And we have to kind of expand our mind. How many pull-ups should somebody be able to do at our age? And I think you've got to kind of break that mold and say, I don't know, I don't know. Every time I go out there, I got to try to do a little bit more and a little bit more and a little bit more. And I don't know what my potential is. I hope, physically, I don't ever reach my potential. That would be really cool if I could constantly be improving. There are times when I'll get out there and it's not what I could do the day before. And I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm going backwards. But that's not true. It's a building block thing. It's not a step up every single day. It's not gonna work that way for you. When I do YouTube videos, sometimes I get a lot of views on them. And then I'll do a bunch of videos and I don't get a lot of views on them. I don't get a lot of subscribers. That doesn't mean that I'm not moving forward because I got some views, okay? Doesn't mean because I can't do as many pull-ups as the day before. Doesn't mean I'm not moving forward because I did some pull-ups. So that's building on what you already have. Number three, understand it's gonna be hard and it's gonna be uncomfortable, okay? If you're always doing comfortable things, you will never succeed at much of anything, okay? You have to be doing uncomfortable things. It's not comfortable to exercise. If you get to a stage where it's comfortable for you, you probably haven't pushed yourself. Maybe you're doing five push-ups a day and you get to the point where five push-ups is pretty easy and that's just what you do every day. The problem with that is you're never gonna get to 10 or 15 or 20 because you stayed at a comfortable stage. Same thing in business. If you're doing stuff in business and you're trying to sell online, you're trying to capture a bigger market or try to get higher sales or more people on your list, if you're in a comfortable area, if you're spending X number of dollars and getting X number of people and X sales and you just leave it there, you're never ever gonna grow from that point forward. So you've gotta understand it's gonna be hard and it's gonna be uncomfortable and that's okay to have that feeling. Number four, never accept that's an acceptable result. In other words, there are no acceptable results. There's only a result that you're getting right now and you need to build on that, okay? So you never say, well, hey, you know, I made $50,000 this month and that's acceptable, that's all I need. If you develop that mindset that that's all you need, you'll never ever grow to 100,000. You'll never get to the next stage. You'll never get to the next level. There are no acceptable results. There are just results. This is the result I got. I hit my goal, I didn't hit my goal, whatever it was, but it's just a result. It's not something that you can accept. You have to constantly build on it. Now to pull this off, here's what you gotta do. You gotta do more than what's expected of you. You can't say, well, the average person online sells X number of widgets. If I can get to that, then I've reached an acceptable amount. No, it's not like that, okay? If you wanna be average, I guess it would be, but who wants to be average? Who wants to be stuck at average? Average is no fun, average is not innovative, average is not exciting, average is just average. Also don't develop the mindset of, let me do something and see what happens. Let me do a little bit and see what happens. I remember when I started working on my YouTube channel and it's nowhere near what I want now, but it's building and it's getting where I want. You know, I would look at channels out there and some of them would have 100 videos and they would have millions of subscribers and I'd be, wow! You know, 100 videos and millions of subscribers. And when I got to about 200 videos, I didn't have hard lady subscribers. I think I had 1,000 or 1,500 subscribers. And I thought, well, what's wrong with this? And I could have said, well, you know, if I did 200 videos, I only got 1,500 subscribers and they did less than 100 and they've got 2 million, then I should just quit. I should just quit. But it doesn't work that way because in addition to those channels that had millions of subscribers with only 100 videos, there were people out there who had 1,000 videos that only had 1,500 subscribers, okay? So understand that just because the results are out there for one person doesn't mean it's gonna be the same for you. But what I did figure out is as I do more videos, I get more views, I get more subscribers and that actually builds. So I don't know what the number is that I need to be at. I have no idea. I just know that if I keep moving forward, I keep doing videos, I keep doing things in business, I'm gonna get good results. It's just gonna take time. And a lot of people don't wanna spend the time but you know what? You're gonna spend the time anyhow. You're either gonna spend it doing something productive or not doing anything at all because you're afraid it's not gonna be productive. So you're gonna spend the time, the time will be spent. Number five, quit being comfortable. Never wake up and say, hey, this is what I want to do today because for the most part, your mind is gonna go to a place where it's gonna go, let me think of all the comfortable things that I'd like to do today, okay? And doing all comfortable things in a day is not gonna get you anywhere. It's just not, okay? Comfortable things don't get you anywhere. It doesn't mean that at some points in your life you can't be comfortable. You can certainly take vacations, sit by the beach or sit by the pool, enjoy your nice drink and be comfortable but that can't be the goal every day. The goal every day during work days should be to work, okay? It should be to do more, it should be uncomfortable situations. That's what you need to attack. If you're attacking uncomfortable situations, whether it's the dinner table or whether it's the gym or whether it's working in your office, you're probably gonna be pretty successful. If you're chasing that comfortable feeling, you're probably not. Now, my suggestion to you is on this number five thing here is have a plan every day. Have a plan physically, mentally, work wise of what you should do to get to where you want to be. And you know what that is, okay? You know what that is. You know what you gotta do. You may not wanna do it. You may not wanna write it down but you need to and do those things. On Tuesdays, which today is a Tuesday, it may not be the day that you're watching this video, but on Tuesdays, I shoot videos. And I prepare for probably four or five days in advance, writing down the information, collecting information so that I can give it to you guys. And then on Tuesdays from morning to late afternoon, I shoot videos. Today I'm doing 13 videos. 13 doesn't sound like a lot to you but there's a lot goes into it. There's lighting and there's getting set up and having the desk right and having good information for you guys and having links below and descriptions and tags and having something worthwhile to share with you. And today I'll do 13 videos. That's a lot. I had it at 10 and I was doing those every two weeks but I'm trying to build up some now because I wanna have some comfort. I'm getting ready to go on a vacation. And since I know I'm going on a vacation, I need to do extra videos so that you guys don't go a day without a video, okay? And so I've just gotta do more videos. That's what I gotta do. I gotta be a little bit more uncomfortable. I gotta work a little bit longer, a little bit harder and do 12 or 13 videos every two weeks so I can build up that bank of videos so I can take some time off. So taking time off is okay, nothing wrong with it but you gotta pay for it. You gotta pay for it. You gotta pay to play. That's the way it works. Now I hope you enjoyed this video.
