Like Actions Equal Like Results

00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:04.360
Hey, everyone, welcome back to the Productive Not Busy podcast.
2
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:08.000
My name's Wayne Weathersby and this is the maiden voyage
3
00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:12.160
of the video portion of this podcast. And today I'm
4
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.599
going to talk about a subject called like actions get
5
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:20.559
like results. So there's this crazy myth that kind of
6
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.960
floats around that success is kind of reserved for the lucky,
7
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.239
the connected, or the chosen ones whatever. I heard a
8
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.640
lot of this during the NFL draft over the weekend.
9
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.840
And you know that people are convinced that there's this
10
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.600
hidden switch, right, a secret handshake or shortcut only a
11
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:44.159
few people get to discover. But really there isn't. What
12
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:48.479
there is, however, is something kind of far more predictable
13
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:54.640
and far more available, like actions get like results. And
14
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.399
if you're willing to really hear that right and not
15
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:01.320
just not along but actually apply it, you'll start to
16
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:08.680
see that success really isn't mysterious. It's all patterned. Okay,
17
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.719
You'll start to see that success is kind of this,
18
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:16.239
it's repeatable, and it's hiding and plain sight. Actually, so
19
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.120
let me explain that if you take a close look
20
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.319
at anyone you admire, take anyone someone whose results you
21
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:28.799
gladly trade places with, you'll notice something very interesting. It's
22
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:36.640
not just what they've achieved, it's how they operate, the
23
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.239
way they structure their day, the conversations that they choose
24
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:44.159
to have, the standards that they refuse to lower, and
25
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.000
the actions that they take when no one is actually watching.
26
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:48.840
And those are the ones that are the most important.
27
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.959
And here's what most people skip over. Those results didn't
28
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:58.159
come from intention, Okay, they came from consistent, aligned actions.
29
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.079
So if you want similar results, the question is and
30
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.079
how do I get lucky like them? Okay? The better
31
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.960
question is what are they doing daily that I'm not?
32
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.479
Because success leaves clues okay, but only for those willing
33
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.560
to follow them up. Now, this is where things get
34
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.919
kind of wonking a little uncomfortable when I have people
35
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.960
in the room with me, because it's easier to admire
36
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:33.319
someone outcome when when you don't have to replicate their discipline.
37
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.319
Put it that way, it's easier to watch than it
38
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.280
is to do, Easier to scroll than to act, easier
39
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:45.520
to hope than to commit, because remember, hope is not
40
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.759
a strategy. But if you truly want what they have,
41
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.319
then at some point you must be willing to do
42
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:56.360
what they do. Not occasionally, not when it's convenient, but consistently,
43
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:06.080
especially when it's not convenient. You see, there's no secret
44
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:10.280
button or no easy button. There's no moment where everything
45
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:15.599
suddenly becomes easy. There's only a series of choices made
46
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.120
over and over and over again that either move you
47
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.080
closer to the result or further away from it. And
48
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.039
in business this shows up very clearly. The top performers
49
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.919
aren't guessing you're not reinventing the wheel every morning. They've
50
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:33.759
identified what works lead generation, follow up relationships, and relationship building,
51
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.639
and they execute on those actions with discipline on a
52
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.360
daily basis, over and over and over. It's like going
53
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.080
to the gym, even when they don't feel like it.
54
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:45.960
They get up and do it, especially when they don't
55
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.360
feel like it. Okay, And here's what's fascinating. If you
56
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.879
were to take someone brand new and have them mirror
57
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.759
those same exact actions right, the same calls, the same conversations,
58
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.199
the same structure, you would start to see similar patterns
59
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.360
of success out of that person, even a new person.
60
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.280
We see it all the time here, right, Maybe not overnight,
61
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.680
but inevitably because the formula isn't complicated. It's like a recipe. Okay,
62
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:19.279
action equals momentum equals results. Repeat. Okay. Now in life,
63
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.480
it's no different. Okay. If you spend time with people
64
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.839
who think bigger, act decisively, and hold themselves to a
65
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:32.480
higher standard, something's gonna shift. Okay, something's gonna shift. Not
66
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.920
by accident, but by exposure. You begin to adopt their
67
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.199
habits and their language and their expectations, and before long,
68
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.560
your results start to resemble theirs. Because environment influences action,
69
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.240
and actions drive outcome one hundred percent of the time.
70
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.519
So perhaps the real question is this, are you currently
71
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.439
taking actions aligned with the results that you say that
72
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.240
you want? Okay? Because if they're not, then no amount
73
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:03.959
of wishing will close the gap. Only doing those things will.
74
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.079
And here's the good news, because there is some good news.
75
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.920
You don't need to be extraordinary to start. You just
76
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:17.120
need to be consistent. Find someone whose results you respect, Okay,
77
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:23.519
single them out, study what they actually do. Then this
78
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.800
is the part that most people skip. Go and do
79
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.839
those things, okay, not your version of those things, not
80
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.639
when it feels good, but their version repeatedly. Okay, Because
81
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.480
when you align your actions with proven outcomes, you remove
82
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:43.120
the guesswork you replace the hope with process, and over
83
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.680
time you get results or you earn those results that
84
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.279
you actually felt were out of reach. Okay, so no shortcuts,
85
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:56.439
no secrets, just truth applied. And if this resonated, then
86
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.319
I need you to do me a favorite. If it
87
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.240
challenged you or clarified something that you needed to hear,
88
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.040
then you already know what to do next. Okay. So
89
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:09.519
if you like the show, subscribe for more and more importantly,
90
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:15.079
take an action. Okay, get up tomorrow, find somebody, respect,
91
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.519
see what they do, and then do that. Not your
92
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.519
version of that, but do that. We appreciate your time,
93
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.319
appreciate you have a great day. Be safe, take care,
94
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.800
Find somebody and go say something nice to them. Take care,
