Hello and welcome back to another episode of NextGen on Elevate Springfield.
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:52.719
I'm Ellie and I'm here with my dad.
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:54.400
Hello, Ellie.
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:56.159
I liked how my intro sounded that time.
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:56.480
Yeah.
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.879
I even tried to do it kind of like you when I said hello.
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.040
I did the What?
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:02.079
That's what I do.
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.959
You do kind of go, you go high, low a little bit.
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:06.159
Yeah, that's good.
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:06.879
Yeah.
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.360
I think I drag it more than go up.
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:10.240
Oh, that's true.
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:11.439
Like hello.
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.719
Like, I mean, not not like that, but I guess I kind of go up a little bit, but regardless.
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.560
Not as much as you not as much as you just did, because I wouldn't like it if I did it that much.
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:21.120
Yeah.
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:21.680
Well, regardless.
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:22.800
That still wasn't.
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:23.680
Hello.
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.919
It is time for next gen, isn't it?
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:26.319
Mm-hmm.
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:27.599
I got coffee today too.
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:28.400
There you go.
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.280
We'd kind of go bankrupt if I got coffee every single week.
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:33.919
Then again, there's people who get coffee like every single day.
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:35.599
So I don't think it would be that bad.
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.080
And you seem to like your Schließ coffee.
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:38.560
Mm-hmm.
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.639
Nice and convenient being right across the street from where we're recording, right?
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:43.360
Yeah, it's good.
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.680
And it's very This one's very sweet.
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:54.800
It's not sickeningly sweet, but it's sweet enough to where it's not so bitter and my taste buds are bitter because that's what iced coffee does a lot of the time for me.
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.159
So that's very nice because I usually don't like too much of iced coffee.
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.639
I like it, but I won't be chugging it or drinking a lot.
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.280
I still don't chug because I'm not a jugger, but still.
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.840
Well, today we're gonna talk about the 10x rule and a couple of the chapters in there.
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:09.680
So you're gonna tell me about a little bit about it.
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.360
I'm gonna talk about it because what else do you do on a podcast?
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:14.000
Talk, yeah.
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:14.560
Talk.
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:15.599
Yeah, that's what we do.
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.120
So yeah, 10x rule.
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.719
A few weeks ago we talked a little bit about be obsessed or be average.
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:27.599
The 10x rule was written before be obsessed or be average, but it's another Grant Cardone book, one of the main ones.
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.319
If you're if you only read two of his books, it'd probably be The 10X Rule and Be Obsessed or Be Average.
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:33.439
We've got quite a few other ones.
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:34.719
I'd recommend reading them all.
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.360
But if you're only going to read a couple of them, that would be too.
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.120
I know we were uh focusing on a couple of the chapters in here.
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.199
We talked about the four degrees of action.
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:46.960
Do you remember what those are?
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:48.719
The first one was doing nothing.
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:50.080
Doing nothing, yep.
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.319
I know the last one is massive action.
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:53.280
Yeah, absolutely.
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:54.960
And that's where that's the one we want to live at.
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.280
I'm pretty sure the third one is more wordy, isn't it?
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.080
It has it's longer and the second one is shorter.
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:01.439
It's like one or two words.
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:02.879
Yeah, the second one's shorter.
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:04.080
So the second one's retreat.
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:05.759
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.039
And then the third one is average amount of action.
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.560
So just normal, normal, right?
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:13.120
Yeah.
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:26.319
So if you didn't read the book, I know you went through the through it, but if when you hear those four things, what do you think about when you're talking about no action, retreat, average action, or massive action?
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.519
Well, for one, the chapter consists of definition of those things, right?
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:32.160
It does.
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:33.680
And where it gets you, right?
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:34.079
Right.
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:34.560
Okay.
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:41.120
So So no action is simply, yeah, taking no action, doing nothing.
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:42.240
Yeah, doing nothing.
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:43.600
You're just chilling, I guess.
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:48.160
Well, and then that's gonna stay a dream and you don't really pursue anything about it.
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.399
And then retreat is, you know, you are actually moving away from it.
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:56.079
And then average, you're doing just the normal amount.
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.680
This is where most people live.
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:08.000
And one interesting thing about average action and what GC argues is that average amount of action is the most dangerous.
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:13.199
If I were to ask you before we started talking about this, which would you think is the most dangerous for you?
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:14.000
Doing nothing.
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:14.639
Doing nothing.
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:20.079
But I also think that this kind of ties in with some of my other stuff too.
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:27.519
Like, for example, I quoted this to my mom recently, and it was like the most dangerous type of cage is when you don't think you're in a cage at all, right?
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:35.839
And I think that corresponds with what you just said pretty well, because I think it all kind of just boils down to self-awareness.
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.959
Well, is that ever say say that quote one more time?
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.279
That the most dangerous type of cage is thinking you aren't in a cage at all.
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:43.759
Yeah.
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.439
And it's it's where you think that it's fine.
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.720
I'm I'm free, I'm doing everything, whatever.
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:56.319
But in reality, that's the most dangerous one because it's you are you are in a cage.
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:57.120
You are right.
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:58.160
No, that's a good point.
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.639
And that's when we're talking about the But that's what that makes me think of.
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:01.759
Yeah, it does it really does.
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:02.959
That's a good way to talk about it.
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:04.160
Average amount of action.
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:07.199
Nobody's really gonna say, Hey, you need to get your crap together.
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:07.600
Right.
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:09.439
Because you're like you're not in a sinkhole.
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:21.360
You're just you're you're getting up, you're going to work, you're doing your thing, you're going through the motions every day, you're putting in your hours, so nobody really says, Hey, you need to get your stuff together and get moving here.
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:28.879
And you probably you might not even say it to yourself because you're like, hey, I'm I'm working hard, I'm putting my 40 hours a week in, I'm doing my thing.
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.399
I that's where I'm at.
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:31.040
Yeah.
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:42.160
But and that's the difficult part of that is because it's socially acceptable, because pretty much everybody thinks it's okay to just be average.
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:43.120
You're doing your thing.
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:44.079
You're doing your thing.
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:59.600
So that's why and it breeds complacency when you get real comfortable because you're just doing the when you're doing the average amount of action, you can get comfortable because, well, I'm making enough money to pay all my bills, I'm making enough money to do a few fun things here and there.
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.120
I'm not really struggling.
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:08.000
And when you're at that point, it's really easy to get complacent because, well, I'm I'm just chilling now.
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:08.959
I got all my stuff.
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:10.560
I don't really need anything else.
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.800
So you don't push as hard.
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:13.360
Yeah.
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:18.879
Don't mistake that for being ungrateful or not content, I think is the word.
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:19.120
Yeah.
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.240
Because we all want to be content where we're at.
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:23.680
Like, that's fine.
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:24.639
Just don't.
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:32.639
And like also, I think another misconception, if you're listening in on this and you don't really know what 10x is, is that it's all about money.
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:33.279
It's not.
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.000
You can apply this to any aspect of your life.
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:38.319
He's talking about money because he's a millionaire.
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.000
So duh, that's what he's gonna talk about.
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:41.360
And he's actually a billionaire.
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:42.079
Yeah, yeah.
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:48.560
So obviously that's what his he's gonna talk about, but you can apply this to your book goal, your goal for your house, anything.
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.319
It doesn't, it does not have to be about money.
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:51.759
Well, and it's all the money stuff.
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:53.920
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say.
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:55.199
You can apply it to anything.
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:04.879
If you read through all the books, yeah, he focus on money some because you have to have money to be able to do some of the other things, but it's not all about love, money.
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:08.560
It's about being extraordinary in all areas of your life.
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:09.439
Absolutely.
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:16.079
You can take these to any part of your life, not just your professional life, not just your business.
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.040
It could be anything.
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:25.920
Yeah, and I think with the the average, I think you just get so comfortable where you're at.
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:31.040
And that's not saying to not be content, because as a Christian, that's what I aspire to be.
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.840
I want to be content in what I have.
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:40.240
However, those are still two different two different things, but they can be false equivalents sometimes.
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:47.440
It doesn't mean that you're not content in and even then, it doesn't even have to be about acquiring material things.
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:53.679
Again, you can apply it to anything, to relationships or whatever you want to apply it to.
00:08:53.919 --> 00:09:01.360
It doesn't have to be about acquiring any sort of material, and it could and it could be because you want to help more people.
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:01.759
Yeah.
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:08.000
You might want people you might want to make more money so you can help more people, right?
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:28.080
It's not always you can be you can be content with the lifestyle, but you could also be pushing so hard because you feel like you haven't reached your purpose yet, which might be, hey, I want to help this many people, I want to be able to give this many millions of dollars to these particular organizations because I really feel like they're doing great work out there.
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:28.960
So Yeah.
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:38.320
And with it saying to 10X everything and to don't just want$100, you should want like$1,000 trying to aim for a thousand.
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:54.240
We talked about this before, how it's basically like if you set your goal higher, then you're fine with it being, then you can reach more because then oh, well, I didn't get my a thousand dollars, but I did make five hundred dollars, and that's more than my one hundred dollars.
00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:00.799
And that doesn't mean that in every aspect of your life you have to like go above and beyond extreme.
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:06.320
It's just saying that let's push away the the thought process of yeah, that's fine.
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:07.679
I'll just do that, I'll just do that.
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:19.120
I mean, that's that's whatever, even though you can do more, such as you know, reaching more people or with like promotions or anything else, anything.
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:23.039
Like you don't have to just be like, yeah, well, that's that's fine with me, I guess.
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.440
Like I I that's that seems attainable.
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:30.159
You can try and shoot higher, and then you can actually see what's attainable for you.
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:30.639
Right.
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:31.679
Yeah, absolutely.
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.200
So again, the four levels of action are none.
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:36.879
Uh oh yeah, and also about that.
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.320
That's like a tier list, basically.
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.080
The four types of people, right?
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.399
Well, that's that's the thing, though.
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:47.440
The same person could be anywhere along those, depending on their time in life.
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.159
So they there might be a time where different things do nothing.
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.320
They might be doing nothing in one area of their life and taking massive action in another.
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:54.879
That can happen.
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:55.840
Yeah, definitely.
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.399
But yeah, tiers for the different things.
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:00.799
But yeah, doing nothing, retreat.
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:06.799
Yeah, normal levels or average, either way you want to put average action or normal levels of action and then massive actions.
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:11.039
Well, I guess what are some ways that teenagers you think take massive action?
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.039
What are some things that they take massive action in?
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:14.639
I'd say jobs for one.
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:19.039
Like I have some friends that work like four days a week, and I'm like, geez, how do you do that?
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.440
I mean, I was for a few months ago.
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:29.759
Yeah, I'd say jobs are a big one because a lot of my friends have jobs and they're working a lot of days and a lot of shifts and long hours.
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.320
Some teenagers take massive action in sports.
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:33.039
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:41.120
Yeah, grades.
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:42.399
Hold on.
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:46.480
Yeah, my cousin actually, she's amazing with her grades.
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:48.000
She is a hold on.
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.240
I probably need to spell this if I can't pronounce it.
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:51.679
Salutatorian.
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:52.799
Salutatorian, yeah.
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:53.840
Salutatorian.
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:55.039
How do you pronounce it?
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:56.080
Like you just did.
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:57.279
Salutatorian?
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:57.679
Yeah.
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.159
Uh we were having a whole conversation about this.
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.159
But my cousin's a salutatorian.
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:04.799
There's valedictorian and then salutatorian.
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:08.320
Yes, because she's amazing, awesome, stunning diva.
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.159
And that's one thing that she takes massive action on.
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:18.159
She does she does good on her schoolwork and she does a lot of it, and she maybe takes the extra class and stuff like that.
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:18.720
Yeah.
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.960
When you take that massive action, some other things start happening as well.
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.559
I've talked about it on the show before.
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.440
Can you imagine what happens when you start taking massive action?
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.919
Like what do people start saying to you?
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:34.000
People that aren't taking massive action, what do they say to the person that takes massive action?
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:35.679
You're obsessed.
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.960
Are you sure you should be spending all that time on that?
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:44.480
Not saying that that's all this person spends their time on, all that time, I guess.
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:45.039
Yeah.
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:53.919
It really depends on what kind of person it is, too, because I don't take massive action on a ton of things, but if I see somebody that does, I'm like, hey, good for you.
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:55.679
But insecure people are like right.
00:12:55.840 --> 00:13:04.159
A lot a lot of times you start garnering a little bit of naysayers and some haters and things like that, saying you're doing too much a lot of times.
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:12.080
If you're really operating at that massive action, if you're really operating at that fourth degree, you're bound to start getting some naysayers and some haters.
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:19.279
And we talk about in 10X that quite frankly, if you're not getting a few of those, you're probably not doing enough.
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:25.360
You're probably not out there enough and making a difference enough if people aren't getting at you a little bit.
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:25.759
Yeah.
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.159
You're gonna have some of those naysayers right off the bat.
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:35.200
Now, with that massive action, there's a big part of that is taking advantage of every opportunity that's available to you.
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:44.480
Saying yes to stuff that at other points maybe maybe you don't say yes to, but it's taking advantage of opportunities that are out there in order to That's definitely not my strong suit.
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:46.559
I would say I do that quite often.
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.399
I say yes to a to a lot.
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:49.840
Yes, you definitely do.
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:55.120
Another thing you create when you start taking massive action is potentially new problems.
00:13:55.360 --> 00:14:04.480
So if you start taking massive action in a business and you start growing really quickly, that means you're probably gonna have to start hiring more people, which that's a new problem.
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.559
It's a good problem, but it's a new problem.
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:14.639
Or you're gonna start making more money and you have to figure out how to manage that revenue properly and manage all those leads and I want the problems.
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.200
I want the problem of how to organize all my money.
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:24.320
Yeah, no, that's those are those are great problems to have, but they are new problems when you start taking that massive action.
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:30.720
Because if you're not doing anything, if you're just doing nothing or retreating, you still have problems, but they're not good problems.
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:34.639
So I saw this one quote.
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:36.080
I really don't know how it went.
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:37.200
I know you know this one.
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:38.720
It was choose your hard.
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:44.879
You can either be this and have this, or you could be this and have this.
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:45.120
Right.
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:46.240
Choose your hard.
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:47.840
Like, what's an example of that?
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.240
So that could be so choose your hard.
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:50.960
Here's one for you.
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.840
And this one I've I've I've seen often.
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.399
It's hard being poor, and it's hard getting rich.
00:14:58.799 --> 00:14:59.759
Choose your hard.
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.840
So it takes a lot of work to get rich, but it takes a lot of work to stay poor too.
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:14.159
It's hard staying poor too, because then you're worried about your meal next meal potentially, you're worrying about how you're gonna pay your bills.
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:15.039
That's hard.
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.840
But it's also hard to build a business, right?
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:19.519
Yeah, and that's not choose your hard.
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:22.399
Yeah, and that's not insensitive to say either.
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:47.759
Like it can sound like uh what are you talking about at first, but it's like it's not it's saying that you can either be less fortunate and strive to have more, you can either strive to buy certain things to better your life and struggle with that, or you could just be like, well, like there's no point, like I'm never gonna I'm just struggling so much, I can never get to that point and then just try and stay afloat like that.
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:49.919
You know, that I think that's what that's saying.
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.879
There's also it's hard being unhealthy.
00:15:55.600 --> 00:16:01.679
It's also hard to be healthy, be and work out and eat right every single day.
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:02.879
Choose your hard.
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:15.840
So if you are consistently unhealthy with your eating habits and exercise routine and things like that, that's gonna be difficult for you because you could potentially have more problems with your body, right?
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.639
That's hard.
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:24.799
Or it's hard, but it's also hard to get up every day and work out and be very disciplined with your eating.
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.320
Choose your hard.
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:27.759
That's what a lot of those things say.
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:32.080
It's hard to be organized, it's hard to be unorganized.
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:32.320
Right.
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:33.200
Choose your hard.
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:42.639
It's like that's not super hard for me, but you know, people who do struggle with that sort of thing, it's hard to remember to pick up your stuff and to put it back where you got it instead of just throwing it everywhere.
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:43.759
I mean, I still do that.
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:52.159
It's hard to do that, but it's also hard to live in a space that is super messy and unorganized and you don't know where anything is.
00:16:52.399 --> 00:17:01.519
It's like, but yeah, and I definitely think it's it's really hard when you're less fortunate to get back up there to a livable circumstance.
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:03.679
Sure, yeah, it's all very difficult, yeah.
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.759
And that's not coming from a place of privilege to say that.
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:15.279
It's just like you can either strive to buy a house, get sustainable food, things like that.
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:21.599
And it's also hard to just be like, I'm never gonna get it, and just try and stay afloat.
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:22.960
Both of those are hard.
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:24.559
And it could take you so long.
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:39.119
Well, and I've heard it's better to try and aspire and try and get somewhere than just giving up and be like, I I can't, like I can't get there, so I might as well just try and stay afloat best I can rather than striving for something bigger to better my life.
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:46.400
I've heard it said the other way too, that uh it's easy to skip your workout today, right?
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.599
But it's also easy to just go work out.
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:58.160
So which one uh well do you believe that it's also it's easy to make the decision just to hey, I'm gonna eat right today.
00:17:58.240 --> 00:17:59.359
It's easy to make that decision.
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:00.559
You just gotta do it.
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:10.160
I do agree with that, not necessarily in the workout circumstance, but like for some of my self-care stuff, let's say, like not saying the workout isn't self-care, but my personal, maybe skincare stuff, right?
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:15.839
And I'm like, I really need to put my serum on and I'm exhausted and I just want to go to bed.
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:16.240
Right.
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:20.319
And then it's easier to go to bed rather than go and put my serum on.
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.480
But it's also really easy to just walk over there and put it on real quick and then go to sleep.
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.759
Well, I I see I see that.
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:26.559
I see that.
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:37.359
So right after that chapter, the four degrees of action, again, do nothing, retreat, normal levels or average levels of action, which is the most dangerous, and then massive action.
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:41.680
The next chapter is titled Average is a failing formula.
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.440
What do you think he means by that?
00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.839
Well, I think it's because average means everyone, basically.
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:53.359
Average means the average person, most people, everybody is doing that.
00:18:53.599 --> 00:19:08.240
So especially if you are having a business or you you want to be at the top of your craft or the best in your craft, you can't do what everybody else is doing because everybody else is doing it.
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:12.559
Not everybody can be at the top, and not everybody can be famous or whatever.
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.519
So it's if you want what everybody else has, do what everybody else does, and that's average.
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:23.759
Average is a failing formula again, because we're it's it's really a trap.
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:25.759
We think we're better off than we are.
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:32.559
It only would take a couple of negative events to be able to wipe out whatever average lifestyle you have.
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.759
And I also I especially I just saw me about this today, and it was like back in your guys' day.
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.039
Back in my day by old man over here.
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:43.599
Yeah, riding horses and carriages and crap.
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:44.880
That's what I did.
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:52.319
You guys were okay with a couple of inconveniences throughout your day, normal day-to-day inconveniences.
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.799
For us, it's not, it doesn't really work like that anymore.
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:02.079
Like all of your guys' technology and things like that, it would take longer to turn on.
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:06.799
It would glitch or something, then it's like, oh crap, it's out for the day, or you know, that sort of thing.
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:13.680
And we did learn patience a little more back when, if you want to call it in my day, like you were talking about.
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:16.160
Yeah, because you did have to you have to wait a lot more.
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:17.440
It's just constant.
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:19.519
And I'm really trying to fix my attention span.
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:26.319
So what I've been doing is that I'm telling you, I really I'm a very psychological thinking person.
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:37.519
So to help fix my attention span, I'm like, okay, I am watching through this entire YouTube video all the way until the end, until they're like, okay, guys, thanks for watching.
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:38.880
I'll whatever.
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:46.160
I watch it all the way until the like I listen to their entire outro, everything.
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.200
And now that I'm saying this out loud, that sounds really stupid.
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.319
But most people, they're just clicking off immediately.
00:20:52.400 --> 00:21:00.640
And I'm trying to prolong the amount of time I'm sitting there when there's not something constantly stimulating my brain, you know?
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:13.119
I'm just okay, nothing's interesting is going on right now, but I'm watching the entire thing to calm my brain, to not feel like I need to constantly be entertained by something.
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:13.519
Right.
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.119
You know, I know I know it's still a YouTube video and it's still internet.
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:18.880
Those gosh dang internet things.
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:24.160
It's just tiny things like that that I'm trying to fix my attention span.
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:26.480
I'm being like, nope, I'm not taking my phone over here.
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:28.960
No, I won't watch a video while I'm doing that.
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:30.799
Stuff like that to really help.
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:32.240
At least I have self-awareness.
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:40.400
No, if you want to get to any kind of exceptional success, you have to take unreasonable amounts of action or what people deem unreasonable.
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:42.720
And that's when we're getting into that massive action.
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:52.000
I want to read the last paragraph of the average is a failing formula from the 10x rule and uh show you a little bit about what GC says on the subject.
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:52.720
How about that?
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:53.279
Mm-hmm.
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:59.039
So average never yields anything more than average, and usually much less.
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:05.440
Average thinking and actions will only guarantee you misery, uncertainty, and failure.
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:11.359
Rid yourself of everything that is average, including the advice you get and friends you keep.
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:12.880
Sound too tough?
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:18.079
Remember that success is your duty, obligation, and responsibility.
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:28.799
And since there is no shortage of success, any apparent limitations you are experiencing might simply be the result of thinking and acting average.
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:32.000
Rid yourself of every concept of average.
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:38.240
Study what average people do, and prohibit yourself and your team from considering average as an option.
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.599
Surround yourself with exceptional thinkers and doers.
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:47.519
Let your friends, family, and work associates know that you treat average like a terminal disease.
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:51.200
Remember, average anything will never get you an extraordinary life.
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:55.119
Look up the word average and see for yourself what it holds for you.
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:58.319
Typical, ordinary, common.
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:03.839
That should be enough to abandon the concept from all your considerations.
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:05.359
Period.
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:06.240
Bam.
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:08.640
Mic drop on that, right?
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:10.799
Well, you ready to go take some massive action?
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:11.279

00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:34.559
Be great.
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:39.519
When I first walked into Shudokong Karate Club, I was just looking for a way to get stronger.
00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:42.000
But what I found was so much more.
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:45.039
Here we train in traditional karate, the real stuff.
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:46.960
Passed down through generations.
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.599
Every punch, every kata has purpose.
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:53.519
I've learned self discipline, confidence, and how to protect myself.
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:55.680
Not just in class, but in real life.
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:58.720
It's not about being aggressive, it's about being prepared.
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:01.599
This is more than a club, it's a way of life.
00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:03.200
Join us at Shudo Khan.
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:05.279

Hello and welcome back to another episode of NextGen on Elevate Springfield.
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:52.719
I'm Ellie and I'm here with my dad.
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:54.400
Hello, Ellie.
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:56.159
I liked how my intro sounded that time.
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:56.480
Yeah.
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.879
I even tried to do it kind of like you when I said hello.
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.040
I did the What?
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:02.079
That's what I do.
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.959
You do kind of go, you go high, low a little bit.
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:06.159
Yeah, that's good.
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:06.879
Yeah.
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.360
I think I drag it more than go up.
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:10.240
Oh, that's true.
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:11.439
Like hello.
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.719
Like, I mean, not not like that, but I guess I kind of go up a little bit, but regardless.
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.560
Not as much as you not as much as you just did, because I wouldn't like it if I did it that much.
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:21.120
Yeah.
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:21.680
Well, regardless.
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:22.800
That still wasn't.
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:23.680
Hello.
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.919
It is time for next gen, isn't it?
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:26.319
Mm-hmm.
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:27.599
I got coffee today too.
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:28.400
There you go.
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.280
We'd kind of go bankrupt if I got coffee every single week.
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:33.919
Then again, there's people who get coffee like every single day.
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:35.599
So I don't think it would be that bad.
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.080
And you seem to like your Schließ coffee.
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:38.560
Mm-hmm.
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.639
Nice and convenient being right across the street from where we're recording, right?
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:43.360
Yeah, it's good.
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.680
And it's very This one's very sweet.
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:54.800
It's not sickeningly sweet, but it's sweet enough to where it's not so bitter and my taste buds are bitter because that's what iced coffee does a lot of the time for me.
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.159
So that's very nice because I usually don't like too much of iced coffee.
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.639
I like it, but I won't be chugging it or drinking a lot.
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.280
I still don't chug because I'm not a jugger, but still.
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.840
Well, today we're gonna talk about the 10x rule and a couple of the chapters in there.
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:09.680
So you're gonna tell me about a little bit about it.
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.360
I'm gonna talk about it because what else do you do on a podcast?
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:14.000
Talk, yeah.
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:14.560
Talk.
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:15.599
Yeah, that's what we do.
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.120
So yeah, 10x rule.
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.719
A few weeks ago we talked a little bit about be obsessed or be average.
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:27.599
The 10x rule was written before be obsessed or be average, but it's another Grant Cardone book, one of the main ones.
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.319
If you're if you only read two of his books, it'd probably be The 10X Rule and Be Obsessed or Be Average.
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:33.439
We've got quite a few other ones.
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:34.719
I'd recommend reading them all.
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.360
But if you're only going to read a couple of them, that would be too.
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.120
I know we were uh focusing on a couple of the chapters in here.
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.199
We talked about the four degrees of action.
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:46.960
Do you remember what those are?
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:48.719
The first one was doing nothing.
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:50.080
Doing nothing, yep.
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.319
I know the last one is massive action.
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:53.280
Yeah, absolutely.
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:54.960
And that's where that's the one we want to live at.
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.280
I'm pretty sure the third one is more wordy, isn't it?
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.080
It has it's longer and the second one is shorter.
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:01.439
It's like one or two words.
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:02.879
Yeah, the second one's shorter.
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:04.080
So the second one's retreat.
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:05.759
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.039
And then the third one is average amount of action.
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.560
So just normal, normal, right?
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:13.120
Yeah.
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:26.319
So if you didn't read the book, I know you went through the through it, but if when you hear those four things, what do you think about when you're talking about no action, retreat, average action, or massive action?
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.519
Well, for one, the chapter consists of definition of those things, right?
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:32.160
It does.
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:33.680
And where it gets you, right?
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:34.079
Right.
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:34.560
Okay.
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:41.120
So So no action is simply, yeah, taking no action, doing nothing.
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:42.240
Yeah, doing nothing.
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:43.600
You're just chilling, I guess.
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:48.160
Well, and then that's gonna stay a dream and you don't really pursue anything about it.
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.399
And then retreat is, you know, you are actually moving away from it.
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:56.079
And then average, you're doing just the normal amount.
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.680
This is where most people live.
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:08.000
And one interesting thing about average action and what GC argues is that average amount of action is the most dangerous.
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:13.199
If I were to ask you before we started talking about this, which would you think is the most dangerous for you?
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:14.000
Doing nothing.
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:14.639
Doing nothing.
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:20.079
But I also think that this kind of ties in with some of my other stuff too.
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:27.519
Like, for example, I quoted this to my mom recently, and it was like the most dangerous type of cage is when you don't think you're in a cage at all, right?
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:35.839
And I think that corresponds with what you just said pretty well, because I think it all kind of just boils down to self-awareness.
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.959
Well, is that ever say say that quote one more time?
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.279
That the most dangerous type of cage is thinking you aren't in a cage at all.
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:43.759
Yeah.
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.439
And it's it's where you think that it's fine.
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.720
I'm I'm free, I'm doing everything, whatever.
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:56.319
But in reality, that's the most dangerous one because it's you are you are in a cage.
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:57.120
You are right.
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:58.160
No, that's a good point.
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.639
And that's when we're talking about the But that's what that makes me think of.
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:01.759
Yeah, it does it really does.
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:02.959
That's a good way to talk about it.
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:04.160
Average amount of action.
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:07.199
Nobody's really gonna say, Hey, you need to get your crap together.
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:07.600
Right.
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:09.439
Because you're like you're not in a sinkhole.
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:21.360
You're just you're you're getting up, you're going to work, you're doing your thing, you're going through the motions every day, you're putting in your hours, so nobody really says, Hey, you need to get your stuff together and get moving here.
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:28.879
And you probably you might not even say it to yourself because you're like, hey, I'm I'm working hard, I'm putting my 40 hours a week in, I'm doing my thing.
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.399
I that's where I'm at.
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:31.040
Yeah.
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:42.160
But and that's the difficult part of that is because it's socially acceptable, because pretty much everybody thinks it's okay to just be average.
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:43.120
You're doing your thing.
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:44.079
You're doing your thing.
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:59.600
So that's why and it breeds complacency when you get real comfortable because you're just doing the when you're doing the average amount of action, you can get comfortable because, well, I'm making enough money to pay all my bills, I'm making enough money to do a few fun things here and there.
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.120
I'm not really struggling.
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:08.000
And when you're at that point, it's really easy to get complacent because, well, I'm I'm just chilling now.
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:08.959
I got all my stuff.
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:10.560
I don't really need anything else.
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.800
So you don't push as hard.
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:13.360
Yeah.
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:18.879
Don't mistake that for being ungrateful or not content, I think is the word.
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:19.120
Yeah.
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.240
Because we all want to be content where we're at.
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:23.680
Like, that's fine.
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:24.639
Just don't.
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:32.639
And like also, I think another misconception, if you're listening in on this and you don't really know what 10x is, is that it's all about money.
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:33.279
It's not.
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.000
You can apply this to any aspect of your life.
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:38.319
He's talking about money because he's a millionaire.
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.000
So duh, that's what he's gonna talk about.
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:41.360
And he's actually a billionaire.
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:42.079
Yeah, yeah.
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:48.560
So obviously that's what his he's gonna talk about, but you can apply this to your book goal, your goal for your house, anything.
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.319
It doesn't, it does not have to be about money.
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:51.759
Well, and it's all the money stuff.
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:53.920
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say.
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:55.199
You can apply it to anything.
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:04.879
If you read through all the books, yeah, he focus on money some because you have to have money to be able to do some of the other things, but it's not all about love, money.
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:08.560
It's about being extraordinary in all areas of your life.
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:09.439
Absolutely.
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:16.079
You can take these to any part of your life, not just your professional life, not just your business.
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.040
It could be anything.
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:25.920
Yeah, and I think with the the average, I think you just get so comfortable where you're at.
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:31.040
And that's not saying to not be content, because as a Christian, that's what I aspire to be.
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.840
I want to be content in what I have.
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:40.240
However, those are still two different two different things, but they can be false equivalents sometimes.
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:47.440
It doesn't mean that you're not content in and even then, it doesn't even have to be about acquiring material things.
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:53.679
Again, you can apply it to anything, to relationships or whatever you want to apply it to.
00:08:53.919 --> 00:09:01.360
It doesn't have to be about acquiring any sort of material, and it could and it could be because you want to help more people.
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:01.759
Yeah.
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:08.000
You might want people you might want to make more money so you can help more people, right?
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:28.080
It's not always you can be you can be content with the lifestyle, but you could also be pushing so hard because you feel like you haven't reached your purpose yet, which might be, hey, I want to help this many people, I want to be able to give this many millions of dollars to these particular organizations because I really feel like they're doing great work out there.
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:28.960
So Yeah.
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:38.320
And with it saying to 10X everything and to don't just want$100, you should want like$1,000 trying to aim for a thousand.
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:54.240
We talked about this before, how it's basically like if you set your goal higher, then you're fine with it being, then you can reach more because then oh, well, I didn't get my a thousand dollars, but I did make five hundred dollars, and that's more than my one hundred dollars.
00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:00.799
And that doesn't mean that in every aspect of your life you have to like go above and beyond extreme.
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:06.320
It's just saying that let's push away the the thought process of yeah, that's fine.
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:07.679
I'll just do that, I'll just do that.
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:19.120
I mean, that's that's whatever, even though you can do more, such as you know, reaching more people or with like promotions or anything else, anything.
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:23.039
Like you don't have to just be like, yeah, well, that's that's fine with me, I guess.
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.440
Like I I that's that seems attainable.
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:30.159
You can try and shoot higher, and then you can actually see what's attainable for you.
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:30.639
Right.
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:31.679
Yeah, absolutely.
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.200
So again, the four levels of action are none.
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:36.879
Uh oh yeah, and also about that.
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.320
That's like a tier list, basically.
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.080
The four types of people, right?
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.399
Well, that's that's the thing, though.
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:47.440
The same person could be anywhere along those, depending on their time in life.
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.159
So they there might be a time where different things do nothing.
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.320
They might be doing nothing in one area of their life and taking massive action in another.
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:54.879
That can happen.
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:55.840
Yeah, definitely.
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.399
But yeah, tiers for the different things.
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:00.799
But yeah, doing nothing, retreat.
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:06.799
Yeah, normal levels or average, either way you want to put average action or normal levels of action and then massive actions.
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:11.039
Well, I guess what are some ways that teenagers you think take massive action?
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.039
What are some things that they take massive action in?
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:14.639
I'd say jobs for one.
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:19.039
Like I have some friends that work like four days a week, and I'm like, geez, how do you do that?
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.440
I mean, I was for a few months ago.
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:29.759
Yeah, I'd say jobs are a big one because a lot of my friends have jobs and they're working a lot of days and a lot of shifts and long hours.
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.320
Some teenagers take massive action in sports.
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:33.039
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:41.120
Yeah, grades.
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:42.399
Hold on.
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:46.480
Yeah, my cousin actually, she's amazing with her grades.
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:48.000
She is a hold on.
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.240
I probably need to spell this if I can't pronounce it.
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:51.679
Salutatorian.
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:52.799
Salutatorian, yeah.
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:53.840
Salutatorian.
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:55.039
How do you pronounce it?
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:56.080
Like you just did.
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:57.279
Salutatorian?
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:57.679
Yeah.
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.159
Uh we were having a whole conversation about this.
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.159
But my cousin's a salutatorian.
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:04.799
There's valedictorian and then salutatorian.
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:08.320
Yes, because she's amazing, awesome, stunning diva.
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.159
And that's one thing that she takes massive action on.
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:18.159
She does she does good on her schoolwork and she does a lot of it, and she maybe takes the extra class and stuff like that.
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:18.720
Yeah.
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.960
When you take that massive action, some other things start happening as well.
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.559
I've talked about it on the show before.
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.440
Can you imagine what happens when you start taking massive action?
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.919
Like what do people start saying to you?
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:34.000
People that aren't taking massive action, what do they say to the person that takes massive action?
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:35.679
You're obsessed.
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.960
Are you sure you should be spending all that time on that?
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:44.480
Not saying that that's all this person spends their time on, all that time, I guess.
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:45.039
Yeah.
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:53.919
It really depends on what kind of person it is, too, because I don't take massive action on a ton of things, but if I see somebody that does, I'm like, hey, good for you.
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:55.679
But insecure people are like right.
00:12:55.840 --> 00:13:04.159
A lot a lot of times you start garnering a little bit of naysayers and some haters and things like that, saying you're doing too much a lot of times.
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:12.080
If you're really operating at that massive action, if you're really operating at that fourth degree, you're bound to start getting some naysayers and some haters.
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:19.279
And we talk about in 10X that quite frankly, if you're not getting a few of those, you're probably not doing enough.
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:25.360
You're probably not out there enough and making a difference enough if people aren't getting at you a little bit.
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:25.759
Yeah.
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.159
You're gonna have some of those naysayers right off the bat.
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:35.200
Now, with that massive action, there's a big part of that is taking advantage of every opportunity that's available to you.
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:44.480
Saying yes to stuff that at other points maybe maybe you don't say yes to, but it's taking advantage of opportunities that are out there in order to That's definitely not my strong suit.
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:46.559
I would say I do that quite often.
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.399
I say yes to a to a lot.
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:49.840
Yes, you definitely do.
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:55.120
Another thing you create when you start taking massive action is potentially new problems.
00:13:55.360 --> 00:14:04.480
So if you start taking massive action in a business and you start growing really quickly, that means you're probably gonna have to start hiring more people, which that's a new problem.
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.559
It's a good problem, but it's a new problem.
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:14.639
Or you're gonna start making more money and you have to figure out how to manage that revenue properly and manage all those leads and I want the problems.
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.200
I want the problem of how to organize all my money.
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:24.320
Yeah, no, that's those are those are great problems to have, but they are new problems when you start taking that massive action.
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:30.720
Because if you're not doing anything, if you're just doing nothing or retreating, you still have problems, but they're not good problems.
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:34.639
So I saw this one quote.
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:36.080
I really don't know how it went.
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:37.200
I know you know this one.
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:38.720
It was choose your hard.
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:44.879
You can either be this and have this, or you could be this and have this.
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:45.120
Right.
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:46.240
Choose your hard.
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:47.840
Like, what's an example of that?
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.240
So that could be so choose your hard.
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:50.960
Here's one for you.
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.840
And this one I've I've I've seen often.
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.399
It's hard being poor, and it's hard getting rich.
00:14:58.799 --> 00:14:59.759
Choose your hard.
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.840
So it takes a lot of work to get rich, but it takes a lot of work to stay poor too.
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:14.159
It's hard staying poor too, because then you're worried about your meal next meal potentially, you're worrying about how you're gonna pay your bills.
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:15.039
That's hard.
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.840
But it's also hard to build a business, right?
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:19.519
Yeah, and that's not choose your hard.
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:22.399
Yeah, and that's not insensitive to say either.
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:47.759
Like it can sound like uh what are you talking about at first, but it's like it's not it's saying that you can either be less fortunate and strive to have more, you can either strive to buy certain things to better your life and struggle with that, or you could just be like, well, like there's no point, like I'm never gonna I'm just struggling so much, I can never get to that point and then just try and stay afloat like that.
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:49.919
You know, that I think that's what that's saying.
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.879
There's also it's hard being unhealthy.
00:15:55.600 --> 00:16:01.679
It's also hard to be healthy, be and work out and eat right every single day.
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:02.879
Choose your hard.
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:15.840
So if you are consistently unhealthy with your eating habits and exercise routine and things like that, that's gonna be difficult for you because you could potentially have more problems with your body, right?
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.639
That's hard.
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:24.799
Or it's hard, but it's also hard to get up every day and work out and be very disciplined with your eating.
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.320
Choose your hard.
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:27.759
That's what a lot of those things say.
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:32.080
It's hard to be organized, it's hard to be unorganized.
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:32.320
Right.
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:33.200
Choose your hard.
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:42.639
It's like that's not super hard for me, but you know, people who do struggle with that sort of thing, it's hard to remember to pick up your stuff and to put it back where you got it instead of just throwing it everywhere.
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:43.759
I mean, I still do that.
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:52.159
It's hard to do that, but it's also hard to live in a space that is super messy and unorganized and you don't know where anything is.
00:16:52.399 --> 00:17:01.519
It's like, but yeah, and I definitely think it's it's really hard when you're less fortunate to get back up there to a livable circumstance.
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:03.679
Sure, yeah, it's all very difficult, yeah.
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.759
And that's not coming from a place of privilege to say that.
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:15.279
It's just like you can either strive to buy a house, get sustainable food, things like that.
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:21.599
And it's also hard to just be like, I'm never gonna get it, and just try and stay afloat.
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:22.960
Both of those are hard.
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:24.559
And it could take you so long.
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:39.119
Well, and I've heard it's better to try and aspire and try and get somewhere than just giving up and be like, I I can't, like I can't get there, so I might as well just try and stay afloat best I can rather than striving for something bigger to better my life.
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:46.400
I've heard it said the other way too, that uh it's easy to skip your workout today, right?
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.599
But it's also easy to just go work out.
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:58.160
So which one uh well do you believe that it's also it's easy to make the decision just to hey, I'm gonna eat right today.
00:17:58.240 --> 00:17:59.359
It's easy to make that decision.
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:00.559
You just gotta do it.
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:10.160
I do agree with that, not necessarily in the workout circumstance, but like for some of my self-care stuff, let's say, like not saying the workout isn't self-care, but my personal, maybe skincare stuff, right?
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:15.839
And I'm like, I really need to put my serum on and I'm exhausted and I just want to go to bed.
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:16.240
Right.
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:20.319
And then it's easier to go to bed rather than go and put my serum on.
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.480
But it's also really easy to just walk over there and put it on real quick and then go to sleep.
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.759
Well, I I see I see that.
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:26.559
I see that.
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:37.359
So right after that chapter, the four degrees of action, again, do nothing, retreat, normal levels or average levels of action, which is the most dangerous, and then massive action.
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:41.680
The next chapter is titled Average is a failing formula.
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.440
What do you think he means by that?
00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.839
Well, I think it's because average means everyone, basically.
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:53.359
Average means the average person, most people, everybody is doing that.
00:18:53.599 --> 00:19:08.240
So especially if you are having a business or you you want to be at the top of your craft or the best in your craft, you can't do what everybody else is doing because everybody else is doing it.
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:12.559
Not everybody can be at the top, and not everybody can be famous or whatever.
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.519
So it's if you want what everybody else has, do what everybody else does, and that's average.
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:23.759
Average is a failing formula again, because we're it's it's really a trap.
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:25.759
We think we're better off than we are.
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:32.559
It only would take a couple of negative events to be able to wipe out whatever average lifestyle you have.
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.759
And I also I especially I just saw me about this today, and it was like back in your guys' day.
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.039
Back in my day by old man over here.
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:43.599
Yeah, riding horses and carriages and crap.
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:44.880
That's what I did.
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:52.319
You guys were okay with a couple of inconveniences throughout your day, normal day-to-day inconveniences.
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.799
For us, it's not, it doesn't really work like that anymore.
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:02.079
Like all of your guys' technology and things like that, it would take longer to turn on.
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:06.799
It would glitch or something, then it's like, oh crap, it's out for the day, or you know, that sort of thing.
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:13.680
And we did learn patience a little more back when, if you want to call it in my day, like you were talking about.
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:16.160
Yeah, because you did have to you have to wait a lot more.
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:17.440
It's just constant.
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:19.519
And I'm really trying to fix my attention span.
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:26.319
So what I've been doing is that I'm telling you, I really I'm a very psychological thinking person.
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:37.519
So to help fix my attention span, I'm like, okay, I am watching through this entire YouTube video all the way until the end, until they're like, okay, guys, thanks for watching.
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:38.880
I'll whatever.
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:46.160
I watch it all the way until the like I listen to their entire outro, everything.
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.200
And now that I'm saying this out loud, that sounds really stupid.
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.319
But most people, they're just clicking off immediately.
00:20:52.400 --> 00:21:00.640
And I'm trying to prolong the amount of time I'm sitting there when there's not something constantly stimulating my brain, you know?
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:13.119
I'm just okay, nothing's interesting is going on right now, but I'm watching the entire thing to calm my brain, to not feel like I need to constantly be entertained by something.
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:13.519
Right.
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.119
You know, I know I know it's still a YouTube video and it's still internet.
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:18.880
Those gosh dang internet things.
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:24.160
It's just tiny things like that that I'm trying to fix my attention span.
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:26.480
I'm being like, nope, I'm not taking my phone over here.
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:28.960
No, I won't watch a video while I'm doing that.
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:30.799
Stuff like that to really help.
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:32.240
At least I have self-awareness.
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:40.400
No, if you want to get to any kind of exceptional success, you have to take unreasonable amounts of action or what people deem unreasonable.
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:42.720
And that's when we're getting into that massive action.
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:52.000
I want to read the last paragraph of the average is a failing formula from the 10x rule and uh show you a little bit about what GC says on the subject.
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:52.720
How about that?
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:53.279
Mm-hmm.
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:59.039
So average never yields anything more than average, and usually much less.
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:05.440
Average thinking and actions will only guarantee you misery, uncertainty, and failure.
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:11.359
Rid yourself of everything that is average, including the advice you get and friends you keep.
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:12.880
Sound too tough?
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:18.079
Remember that success is your duty, obligation, and responsibility.
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:28.799
And since there is no shortage of success, any apparent limitations you are experiencing might simply be the result of thinking and acting average.
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:32.000
Rid yourself of every concept of average.
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:38.240
Study what average people do, and prohibit yourself and your team from considering average as an option.
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.599
Surround yourself with exceptional thinkers and doers.
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:47.519
Let your friends, family, and work associates know that you treat average like a terminal disease.
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:51.200
Remember, average anything will never get you an extraordinary life.
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:55.119
Look up the word average and see for yourself what it holds for you.
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:58.319
Typical, ordinary, common.
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:03.839
That should be enough to abandon the concept from all your considerations.
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:05.359
Period.
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:06.240
Bam.
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:08.640
Mic drop on that, right?
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:10.799
Well, you ready to go take some massive action?
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:11.279
Yeah.
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:13.519

00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:39.519
When I first walked into Shudokong Karate Club, I was just looking for a way to get stronger.
00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:42.000
But what I found was so much more.
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:45.039
Here we train in traditional karate, the real stuff.
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:46.960
Passed down through generations.
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.599
Every punch, every kata has purpose.
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:53.519
I've learned self discipline, confidence, and how to protect myself.
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:55.680
Not just in class, but in real life.
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:58.720
It's not about being aggressive, it's about being prepared.
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:01.599
This is more than a club, it's a way of life.
00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:03.200
Join us at Shudo Khan.
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:05.279
