00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:23.440
Hello everybody and welcome to Finding Your Innergator Podcast where we talk about discipline, relationships, and the habits that release to greatness that is already inside of you.
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.800
I'm your host, Arby Wright, and I am so glad that you're here.
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:40.240
In each episode, we'll explore powerful lessons, real life stories, and practical strategies to help you live intentionally, build meaningful relationships, and unlock your full potential.
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:46.880
But greatness isn't something you stumble into, it's something that is built every single day.
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:52.399
So let's get started and begin the journey to finding your inner gator.
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.000
Alright, everybody, welcome back.
00:00:58.159 --> 00:00:59.600
I am so glad that you're here.
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.840
This is your host, RV Wright, and you are listening to Finding Your Inner Gator.
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.680
I hope that this is helping you.
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:10.640
You know, over the past few episodes, we've been walking through the entire Innergator framework.
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:16.319
It's built around the acronym Greatness Achieved Through Optimizing Relationships.
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:24.400
And if you go back to episode one, really that first episode, it explains the story how that was derived.
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:31.120
And as it's grown, we've been able to talk about the daily disciplines, right?
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:36.879
And how each letter of Gator actually represents a daily discipline.
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:44.239
Get clear, act with discipline, track your progress, optimize relationships, reflect and reset.
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:50.079
In episode two, we talked about getting clear and defining what matters.
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:57.280
In episode three, last week, we talked about acting with discipline and protecting those priorities.
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.560
Today we're going to talk about a third discipline.
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.239
This is where things get real.
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.200
Track your progress.
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:10.719
You know, why does tracking matter?
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:20.560
Here's a truth that I've learned over the years, and many of you have ever heard me speak, or actually, if we've probably been talking for 15 minutes, there's two or three things I probably said to you.
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:29.919
One of them is what you focus on expands, and the other is if you measure it, you can manage it, and if you manage it, you can improve it.
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.080
If you don't measure it, you're only guessing.
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.840
Most people think they're making progress in life.
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.960
But honestly, I mean, let's be honest about it.
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.680
They are really just hoping they are.
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.879
Ladies and gentlemen, high performers do not guess.
00:02:51.199 --> 00:03:01.520
They track, they measure, they evaluate, they adjust because what gets measured does improve.
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.080
There's an honesty factor here, right?
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.719
Tracking does something powerful.
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.719
It forces honesty.
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:12.159
Think about it.
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:18.240
When you start measuring your effort, you can't hide from the truth.
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.879
Did you make the calls that you said you would make?
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.639
You can write down whatever you want to, but you know the truth, right?
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.199
Did you work on the priorities that you wrote down?
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.800
Did you invest time into the relationships that matter?
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.560
Tracking just doesn't measure success.
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:40.080
Listen to me.
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.280
Listen, tracking just doesn't measure success.
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:49.439
It reveals consistency, and consistency is what creates real progress.
00:03:49.840 --> 00:04:01.680
I'm I'm going, I gotta say that one more time because I think that is so important that tracking, when you're measuring something, you're tracking it, it's it's not just tracking just doesn't measure the success of what you're doing.
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:08.479
It reveals consistency, and consistency is what creates real progress.
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:19.600
Look, put it this way, many of you know, if you've listened to this uh at all, you know I'm uh around here in Captain RB.
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.279
I love to fish.
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.439
I fish a lot of tournaments.
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.879
I've learned something about fishing over the years.
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:33.839
Successful fishermen, high performers, they pay attention to the details.
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:44.959
They're tracking the water temperature, they're tracking the cloud cover, they're tracking the lunar conditions, they're tracking the tides.
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.519
They knew where the fish were yesterday and where they might be tomorrow.
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:51.279
Why?
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.000
Listen, listen, this is valuable.
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.160
Patterns reveal opportunities.
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.519
Life works the same way.
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.160
When you track your actions, you start seeing patterns.
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:15.279
You start noticing what works, you start noticing what doesn't.
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.519
That knowledge gives you an advantage.
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.360
Now, here's where people make things too complicated.
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:24.480
Right?
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.079
What should I track?
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.240
Why should I track RB?
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.839
Tracking doesn't need to be complex.
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:38.879
You don't have to have all these spreadsheets with formulas and complicated systems.
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:40.959
You just need awareness.
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.040
Here's a few simple things you can track every day.
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:46.800
Your daily priorities.
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.040
Did you complete the three things that matter most?
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.000
Your relationships?
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.519
Did you invest time in people who matter?
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:58.639
Your habits?
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.839
Did you follow the routines that move your life forward?
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:03.839
Your progress towards the goal?
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:04.959
Are you moving forward?
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.360
Are you like we did last we talked about last week?
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:11.920
Are you drifting happily down the waterway?
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:17.839
Those simple questions can change everything.
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.079
I believe that progress compounds, right?
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:36.800
We talk about the the value of investing and how you get that compound interest, but in relationships and doing things over and over, progress compounds.
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.240
The real power of tracking shows up over time.
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:47.199
The small improvements, repeated daily, stacked week after week, month after month.
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.000
That's how progress compounds.
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:56.959
If you don't track the small wins, you're going to miss the progress that's happening.
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:58.480
And what happens then?
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.160
When people don't feel like they're progressing, guess what they do?
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:03.680
Oh, this ain't working.
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:04.879
They quit.
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:13.199
Tracking reminds you that progress is happening, even when it's slow.
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:16.480
All right.
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.160
This is where we let the inner gators show up.
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:21.920
Remember what we said from the beginning.
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:28.560
Every person listening to this podcast has greatness inside of them, and that greatness inside of you is your inner gator.
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:42.399
But greatness doesn't show up by accident, it shows up through the clarity, through the discipline, and through the awareness to measure your progress along the way.
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:48.000
Tracking keeps you honest, but it also keeps you encouraged.
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.920
Because it shows you that your effort matters.
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:59.120
Here's my challenge for you this week: start tracking something important in your life.
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:00.639
Just one thing.
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:07.839
Maybe it's your daily priorities, maybe it's your habits, maybe it's a number of meaningful conversations that you're having.
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:12.079
Whatever it is, start measuring it.
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:17.839
Because when you measure something, you manage it.
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.240
And when you manage it, it improves.
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:28.399
Next week we're going to talk about the fourth discipline in the entire intergator framework.
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:34.000
And honestly, in my opinion, uh this one's had probably the greatest impact.
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:34.879
All of them.
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.039
All of them have impacted me.
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:40.799
But this one might be the most powerful one of them all.
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.919
Optimizing relationships.
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.960
Because, you know, guys, the truth is no one achieves greatness alone.
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.639
We're trying to do this together, right?
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.799
It's all about relationships.
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:55.759
All right.
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.720
I hope your week, I hope you win this week.
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:00.399
Hope you have a great week.
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.919
And I look forward to talking to you next Monday.
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:11.519
Everybody, thank you so much for listening to the Finding Your Inner Gator podcast.
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:17.919
You know, if today's episode helped you, share it with someone who needs to hear this message.
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:25.279
Remember, greatness is achieved through discipline, intentional action, and optimizing the relationships around you.
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.799
I look forward to getting with you next week.
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:32.480

I am so glad that you're here.
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.840

Did you invest time into the relationships that matter?
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.560
Tracking just doesn't measure success.
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:40.080
Listen to me.
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.280

Successful fishermen, high performers, they pay attention to the details.

00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:51.279
Why?
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.000
Listen, listen, this is valuable.
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.160

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.079
What should I track?
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.240
Why should I track RB?
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.839
Tracking doesn't need to be complex.
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:38.879

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.040
Here's a few simple things you can track every day.
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:46.800
Your daily priorities.
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.040
Did you complete the three things that matter most?
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.000
Your relationships?
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.519
Did you invest time in people who matter?
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:58.639
Your habits?
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.839
Did you follow the routines that move your life forward?
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:03.839
Your progress towards the goal?
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:04.959
Are you moving forward?
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.360
Are you like we did last we talked about last week?
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:11.920
Are you drifting happily down the waterway?
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:17.839
Those simple questions can change everything.
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.079
I believe that progress compounds, right?
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:36.800
We talk about the the value of investing and how you get that compound interest, but in relationships and doing things over and over, progress compounds.
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.240
The real power of tracking shows up over time.
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:47.199
The small improvements, repeated daily, stacked week after week, month after month.
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.000
That's how progress compounds.
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:56.959
If you don't track the small wins, you're going to miss the progress that's happening.
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:58.480
And what happens then?
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.160
When people don't feel like they're progressing, guess what they do?
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:03.680
Oh, this ain't working.
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:04.879
They quit.
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:13.199
Tracking reminds you that progress is happening, even when it's slow.
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:16.480
All right.
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.160
This is where we let the inner gators show up.
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:21.920
Remember what we said from the beginning.
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:28.560
Every person listening to this podcast has greatness inside of them, and that greatness inside of you is your inner gator.
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:42.399
But greatness doesn't show up by accident, it shows up through the clarity, through the discipline, and through the awareness to measure your progress along the way.
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:48.000
Tracking keeps you honest, but it also keeps you encouraged.
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.920
Because it shows you that your effort matters.
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:59.120
Here's my challenge for you this week: start tracking something important in your life.
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:00.639
Just one thing.
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:07.839
Maybe it's your daily priorities, maybe it's your habits, maybe it's a number of meaningful conversations that you're having.
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:12.079
Whatever it is, start measuring it.
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:17.839
Because when you measure something, you manage it.
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.240
And when you manage it, it improves.
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:28.399
Next week we're going to talk about the fourth discipline in the entire intergator framework.
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:34.000
And honestly, in my opinion, uh this one's had probably the greatest impact.
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:34.879
All of them.
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.039
All of them have impacted me.
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:40.799
But this one might be the most powerful one of them all.
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.919
Optimizing relationships.
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.960
Because, you know, guys, the truth is no one achieves greatness alone.
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.639
We're trying to do this together, right?
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.799
It's all about relationships.
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:55.759
All right.
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.720
I hope your week, I hope you win this week.
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:00.399
Hope you have a great week.
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.919
And I look forward to talking to you next Monday.
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:11.519
Everybody, thank you so much for listening to the Finding Your Inner Gator podcast.
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:17.919
You know, if today's episode helped you, share it with someone who needs to hear this message.
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:25.279
Remember, greatness is achieved through discipline, intentional action, and optimizing the relationships around you.
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.799
I look forward to getting with you next week.
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:32.480
Now, go Gatorize your day.
