00:00:18.740 --> 00:00:23.012
Mistakes aren't the big bad M word that you think they are right.
00:00:23.012 --> 00:00:26.024
A lot of individuals, they make mistakes and they beat themselves up.
00:00:26.024 --> 00:00:30.631
And what we find is a lot of individuals are.
00:00:30.631 --> 00:00:40.025
Well, they beat themselves up because they have this quest for perfection right Like they gotta be perfect.
00:00:40.025 --> 00:00:42.328
And here's what Salvador Dali said.
00:00:42.328 --> 00:00:49.085
At best, he said give up seeking perfection and going for perfection because you'll never achieve it.
00:00:49.085 --> 00:00:50.082
It doesn't exist.
00:00:50.082 --> 00:00:51.106
Perfection doesn't exist.
00:00:51.106 --> 00:00:55.846
But a lot of individuals, they're afraid to make mistakes because they're trying to always be perfect.
00:00:56.542 --> 00:00:56.621
Yeah.
00:00:56.621 --> 00:01:02.969
So they don't want to fail right or mess up.
00:01:02.969 --> 00:01:14.230
So they just don't act because that's the safer thing to do right, because if you never go for it, then there's nothing to ever make a mistake on right.
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.046
Too many individuals are striving for perfection.
00:01:18.248 --> 00:01:18.429
Yeah.
00:01:19.090 --> 00:01:19.451
Too many.
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:21.546
Pure and simple, that's it.
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:23.206
Too many people are striving for perfection.
00:01:23.206 --> 00:01:35.688
Right, and stay with us, because what we're gonna do I know we're talking a little bit about individuals that are scared of making a mistake right, they're either perfectionists.
00:01:35.688 --> 00:01:39.855
By the way, we're recovering perfectionists, that's right we are.
00:01:39.855 --> 00:01:42.908
Yeah, Yep, we did not go through a 12-step program.
00:01:42.908 --> 00:01:48.384
We went through a three-step program.
00:01:48.644 --> 00:01:49.045
What was that?
00:01:50.448 --> 00:01:51.932
Well, you know the one we're getting to.
00:01:51.932 --> 00:01:52.632
Yeah.
00:01:52.980 --> 00:01:56.215
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true, that's true.
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:58.863
What is that the one we're teaching today?
00:01:58.863 --> 00:02:00.786
No, but we're recovering perfectionists.
00:02:01.420 --> 00:02:18.026
Right, and I think the easiest way to get over if you're curious, if you're a perfectionist yourself the easiest way to get over that is make a bunch of mistakes, so many that you just it blows everything out and you're like, oh my gosh, I can't be perfect anymore because I've made so many mistakes.
00:02:18.026 --> 00:02:23.604
Now you know, I'm just, you know, never gonna be perfect again.
00:02:24.567 --> 00:02:26.444
Yeah, yeah, Just blow it out.
00:02:26.444 --> 00:02:28.022
Yeah, Just blow it out.
00:02:28.022 --> 00:02:30.905
No, safely easily, effortlessly and healthily.
00:02:30.905 --> 00:02:33.272
Yes, yes, we're you know Safely easily, effortlessly and healthily.
00:02:33.500 --> 00:02:39.167
We're talking the kind of mistakes that when you're taking action quickly, mistakes are bound to happen.
00:02:39.167 --> 00:02:46.246
So when we wrote our book last year Master your Mind Power we were making a lot of mistakes because we were going through things very quickly.
00:02:46.246 --> 00:02:52.778
We kind of got to the point where it was like they're hands up and you're like, okay, how about?
00:02:52.818 --> 00:03:02.124
hiring a formatter who took our Google Doc that had already been pre-formatted it and copy and pasted it into a Word document, and we lost all the formatting and we lost all the formatting Right, and then they printed the book.
00:03:02.124 --> 00:03:15.743
Right, right, exactly, but it was a mistake, right, and we actually were like, wow, we were so in awe that it could happen, but then we iced it, which we're going to talk about here a little bit.
00:03:15.975 --> 00:03:24.546
Or like that time when we did the online course and I created the workbook and there were so many mistakes in there that were just a few things that we know very well.
00:03:24.546 --> 00:03:28.504
Just again it was mistakes happen going through it quickly mistakes happen.
00:03:28.504 --> 00:03:42.102
And you know, mistake after mistake after mistake after mistake, it was kind of like, okay, let's not fight this anymore, let's just say that you know, instead of going for 100% perfection, we're going to go for 90% perfection.
00:03:42.275 --> 00:03:43.179
Did you know that?
00:03:43.179 --> 00:03:48.082
I don't know if you know this, but a marksman, who you know?
00:03:48.082 --> 00:04:06.879
Marksman is somebody who's exquisitely skilled with a rifle Right, and you know, I come from a lineage of marksmen and my great grandfather was a marksman and then we had all these medallions in our house growing up in a case, you know, showing his marksman skills.
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:20.105
And you know, as far as I know, I know also my grandfather was a marksman and father was also an officer in the Swiss military and the Swiss army and he was also good with a rifle as well.
00:04:20.105 --> 00:04:25.466
And I remember asking you know my dad, you know what it took for you know to become a marksman?
00:04:25.466 --> 00:04:26.817
He said there's two ways that you can.
00:04:26.817 --> 00:04:28.302
You can actually shoot a rifle.
00:04:28.302 --> 00:04:29.899
He said you can.
00:04:29.899 --> 00:04:32.750
You can, you know, do, aim, aim, aim, aim, aim.
00:04:32.750 --> 00:04:45.547
You know, pull the grass up and check the wind, and then aim, aim some more, and then you know, lick your finger and feel where the wind's coming from, aim some more, aim some more, you shoot and and that individual is probably going to miss the target.
00:04:45.547 --> 00:04:48.278
They're going to miss the target, right, it's most of the time.
00:04:48.278 --> 00:04:59.235
They're going to miss the target, and you know that's called ready aim

fire right Now, there's, there's and that's not what a marksman usually does, by the way.
00:04:59.235 --> 00:05:00.680
That's the perfectionist route.
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.324
That's the individual who is scared to make mistakes.
00:05:04.324 --> 00:05:06.523
They want to be perfect the first go.
00:05:06.523 --> 00:05:11.879
And, like Salvador Dali said, you're not going to be perfect, it ain't going to happen, so so.
00:05:11.899 --> 00:05:25.286
So what my dad said is he said, in order to be a marksman, what you've got to do is you have to acquire the target as fast as possible, right, and then and then and then fire around, knowing that you are going to miss.
00:05:25.286 --> 00:05:28.799
Let me repeat that Knowing that you're going to miss.
00:05:28.799 --> 00:05:30.083
Think about this metaphorically.
00:05:30.083 --> 00:05:31.078
Think about the metaphor.
00:05:31.078 --> 00:05:37.127
You are going for a target knowing at your first go there's a high probability you're going to miss.
00:05:37.127 --> 00:05:39.954
You're doing no aiming, you acquire the target fast.
00:05:39.954 --> 00:05:48.843
So I mean, you're doing aiming, but it's just a very fast, visceral aiming, knee jerk and you fire as quickly as possible, knowing that you're going to miss.
00:05:48.843 --> 00:05:53.324
You see how you missed, make a course correction, fire again and get at the target.
00:05:53.435 --> 00:05:55.180
There's been many studies on this right.
00:05:55.180 --> 00:06:12.841
Many military units around the world have proven this theory to be true that ready fire aim is more effective than ready aim fire, and ready fire aim will not only get you at the target with more accuracy but, more importantly, in a shorter period of time.
00:06:12.841 --> 00:06:16.641
That makes sense, and so so think about this metaphorically.
00:06:16.641 --> 00:06:20.996
So if to become a marksman, you have to do ready fire aim, you acquire the target, you fire.
00:06:20.996 --> 00:06:22.661
See how you missed, you fired again.
00:06:22.661 --> 00:06:25.237
It's the same same.
00:06:25.237 --> 00:06:30.278
Same same thing as it relates to life, as it relates to action, as it relates to our goals.
00:06:30.620 --> 00:06:40.626
Right, because we want to make sure that we acquire our target fast, we take action quickly towards it and know that we're going to make mistakes.
00:06:40.626 --> 00:06:52.316
So what we're going to want to do is know that we're going to make mistakes and make the course correction super fast, and, and, and then go after it again, and then go after it again.
00:06:52.316 --> 00:06:54.210
This is really, really, really important.
00:06:54.210 --> 00:06:56.437
This is the whole notion of ready fire aim.
00:06:56.437 --> 00:06:59.689
So that's that's today's you know lesson, before the lesson.
00:06:59.689 --> 00:07:03.889
Salvador Dali, like I said, said it best have no fear of perfection, you'll never reach it.
00:07:03.889 --> 00:07:05.937
Yeah, it's
not possible.
00:07:05.937 --> 00:07:12.146
And and also Voltaire wrote in Dictionary Philosophique in 1770.
00:07:12.146 --> 00:07:15.459
He said perfect is the enemy of good.
00:07:16.114 --> 00:07:17.007
Yes, I love that quote.
00:07:17.007 --> 00:07:18.836
That's one of my favorite quotes.
00:07:18.870 --> 00:07:21.598
Perfect is the enemy of good right.
00:07:21.939 --> 00:07:22.680
Yeah, think about it.
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:28.336
So if you spend all your time getting trying to get to 100 percent, perfect.
00:07:28.537 --> 00:07:28.718
Yep.
00:07:29.531 --> 00:07:35.735
And meanwhile you could get to 90 percent perfect Yep, and it's, it's almost like this.
00:07:35.735 --> 00:07:40.799
The rest of the 10 percent it takes same amount of time as the first 90.
00:07:40.799 --> 00:07:42.494
Exactly that's what we've experienced.
00:07:42.936 --> 00:07:43.638
We had projects.
00:07:43.638 --> 00:07:47.153
By the way, there are some projects where you should seek perfection.
00:07:47.153 --> 00:07:48.756
It's called, like your taxes.
00:07:49.069 --> 00:07:52.518
Yeah, or like a surgeon.
00:07:52.990 --> 00:07:55.578
A surgeon probably, should probably aim for, you know, perfection.
00:07:55.598 --> 00:07:56.199
Doing a surgery.
00:07:56.220 --> 00:07:59.177
Yeah, a car mechanic should probably aim for perfection.
00:07:59.237 --> 00:07:59.478
Yeah.
00:07:59.739 --> 00:08:00.480
Right, things like that.
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:05.396
Yeah, you're writing a book, you want to try and aim for it, though it's really hard to do.
00:08:05.396 --> 00:08:12.213
But but there's so many tasks where 90 percent is good enough, 90 percent is OK.
00:08:12.213 --> 00:08:13.357
Yep, it's just great.
00:08:13.357 --> 00:08:17.100
Yep, 90 percent is better than 100 percent on so many things.
00:08:17.100 --> 00:08:19.737
And we see a lot of people struggling with time.
00:08:19.737 --> 00:08:21.314
Everyone's saying I'm busy.
00:08:21.314 --> 00:08:22.915
Everyone's saying I'm busy.
00:08:22.915 --> 00:08:25.398
By the way, you know how we feel about the word busy.
00:08:25.398 --> 00:08:26.593
It drives us nuts.
00:08:26.633 --> 00:08:27.175
Throw it out.
00:08:27.175 --> 00:08:27.917
Throw it out.
00:08:27.917 --> 00:08:28.759
We don't use that word.
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:28.840
Why?
00:08:29.170 --> 00:08:35.158
Because it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy If, when people tell you how you're doing, by the way, think about the question how are you doing?
00:08:35.158 --> 00:08:37.201
They didn't ask how's your schedule?
00:08:37.986 --> 00:08:38.429
No, right.
00:08:38.429 --> 00:08:40.833
Yes, how are you, how are you doing?
00:08:40.833 --> 00:08:43.221
And people say I'm busy, I'm busy, no, I'm so busy.
00:08:43.309 --> 00:08:50.449
You stop for a moment and be like I'm good or I'm overwhelmed, or tell me how you feel, not how your schedule is.
00:08:50.449 --> 00:08:51.895
They didn't ask you how your schedule is.
00:08:51.895 --> 00:08:53.014
They said how are you doing?
00:08:53.014 --> 00:08:54.712
Right, think about that.
00:08:54.712 --> 00:09:05.661
And so, anyway, we're not big on the word busy, because it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, and when individuals say I'm busy all the time, they'll get more busy-ness, which isn't enjoyable.
00:09:05.969 --> 00:09:10.173
We like to say productive, because productive.
00:09:10.554 --> 00:09:11.217
It gets results.
00:09:11.429 --> 00:09:13.356
Presupposes you're getting results.
00:09:13.356 --> 00:09:16.933
Busy could just be busy work without the results, and we're not fans of that.
00:09:17.154 --> 00:09:17.535
No, no, no.
00:09:17.535 --> 00:09:21.017
And, by the way, do we have our schedule pretty full on?
00:09:21.017 --> 00:09:25.118
Yeah, and that's what we say If someone's like, if someone asks me how's your schedule, how's business?
00:09:25.118 --> 00:09:26.000
It's full on.
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:39.534
Like it's literally amazing, it's a blessing, like business is amazing and we're productive and we're achieving our goals and getting the results we want, and it's awesome, right.
00:09:39.534 --> 00:09:42.697
So cut out the word busy, cut it out.
00:09:42.697 --> 00:09:43.679
It's crazy.
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.038
The busy thing, the self-fulfilling prophecy.
00:09:46.038 --> 00:09:52.516
People are talking about how busy their schedule is and I'm like, stop trying to do things at 100%.
00:09:52.516 --> 00:09:55.282
Stop it, just stop it.
00:09:55.282 --> 00:09:57.517
Stop trying to do everything at 100%.
00:09:57.517 --> 00:09:58.873
It's not possible.
00:09:58.873 --> 00:10:00.293
It's just not possible.
00:10:00.293 --> 00:10:06.254
Start doing the things that don't count as much to a 90%, by the way, which is still great.
00:10:06.495 --> 00:10:08.716
Right, and it's probably going to be better than everyone else around you.
00:10:08.716 --> 00:10:14.291
Right Now, the things that do matter, like having a conversation with your kids or your mate, do it at 100%.
00:10:14.852 --> 00:10:18.399
Do it at 100%, or your employees Do it at 100%, or your team 100%.
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:19.421
Taxes 100%.
00:10:19.501 --> 00:10:19.681
Yeah.
00:10:20.469 --> 00:10:23.318
You're coming up with a piece of content, 100%, if you can.
00:10:24.670 --> 00:10:30.655
But things like a social media post or an email or I make mistakes on social media all the time.
00:10:30.655 --> 00:10:31.498
Right, right.
00:10:31.750 --> 00:10:32.654
And it shows you're human.
00:10:32.654 --> 00:10:34.255
So stop being perfect.
00:10:34.255 --> 00:10:37.738
I had a client and she wrote an email.
00:10:37.738 --> 00:10:39.697
No, no, listen, listen, listen, listen.
00:10:39.697 --> 00:10:45.479
Should write an email and check it between five and seven times.
00:10:45.479 --> 00:10:47.189
Grammarly checked it.
00:10:47.189 --> 00:10:48.012
It didn't even count.
00:10:48.012 --> 00:10:48.454
Grammarly.
00:10:48.454 --> 00:10:54.495
Then, after Grammarly went
through it somewhere between five and seven times, she would read, review it.
00:10:54.495 --> 00:11:00.996
Then she said she would click send and, because it was a Google-based email, she'd click undo and then review it again.
00:11:00.996 --> 00:11:07.097
Then click send and total like OCD and clicked undo and read it again.
00:11:07.097 --> 00:11:12.197
Then she'd finally have to send it and she said she'd have to walk away from her desk.
00:11:12.197 --> 00:11:13.913
That's not efficient.
00:11:14.014 --> 00:11:14.897
You helped her with that right.
00:11:14.897 --> 00:11:15.351
Yeah, I did.
00:11:19.156 --> 00:11:30.254
And she said then she would sit there and beat herself up and wonder if she messed something up and she'd obsess over it literally until another project would come on that would take her mind off of it.
00:11:30.254 --> 00:11:34.298
But she said one email could sometimes paralyze her for hours in a day.
00:11:34.649 --> 00:11:36.156
That's not efficient.
00:11:36.189 --> 00:11:37.635
That's a major running parachute.
00:11:37.635 --> 00:11:38.915
It has to do with perfection.
00:11:38.915 --> 00:11:54.221
Yeah, and we did our running parachute release technique with her and proof gone in about 15 minutes and then after that she was literally she was letting Grammarly do it and then she was doing one review send, that's it yeah.
00:11:54.829 --> 00:11:55.271
Write it Grammarly.
00:11:55.271 --> 00:11:56.395
One review send.
00:11:56.395 --> 00:11:59.536
She got three hours in her day back.
00:11:59.536 --> 00:12:03.679
Three hours, three hours, that's significant.
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:13.379
That's significant in her day back and because most of her job she was a transaction coordinator at a real estate company and a big part of her job was emails and stuff like that.
00:12:13.379 --> 00:12:19.097
So she did a lot of not double, triple, quadruple checking like seven to 10 checks.
00:12:19.129 --> 00:12:21.277
You'd only get like two and a half emails done per day.
00:12:21.329 --> 00:12:23.938
She was not productive, always seeking perfection.
00:12:23.938 --> 00:12:32.055
That's a running parachute, and for a lot of individuals, perfection is a big running parachute that can be released in about 15 minutes.
00:12:32.517 --> 00:12:32.717
Yep.
00:12:33.019 --> 00:12:33.218
Yep.
00:12:34.291 --> 00:12:41.356
And then can she Join us in our Mind Power Breakthrough program and then you can release that parachute, that running parachute of perfection.
00:12:41.449 --> 00:12:43.457
We've had a lot of perfectionists come through the program.
00:12:44.073 --> 00:12:44.839
Ex perfectionists.
00:12:44.839 --> 00:12:51.673
We're recovering perfectionists, so we attract that right, I didn't shave today.
00:12:52.295 --> 00:12:52.817
How about that?
00:12:52.817 --> 00:12:54.534
How about that for not being 100% perfect?
00:12:54.554 --> 00:12:55.116
How dare you?
00:12:55.490 --> 00:12:56.211
I know I used to.
00:12:56.211 --> 00:12:59.380
I had to shave every single day.
00:12:59.380 --> 00:13:00.574
You can ask Shane every day.
00:13:00.574 --> 00:13:01.795
That was part of my perfectionism.
00:13:01.795 --> 00:13:02.673
I was like I have to shave.
00:13:02.673 --> 00:13:05.577
Now I'm like you know, if we're filming, I'll shave.
00:13:06.209 --> 00:13:07.073
He still shaves, yeah.
00:13:07.294 --> 00:13:08.700
I shave, I do that's where.
00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:12.077
Yeah, that's a program that's gonna be like you know.
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:13.580
Out there forever.
00:13:13.809 --> 00:13:15.877
Out there for the foreseeable future in perpetuity.
00:13:16.029 --> 00:13:18.818
Beards might not be fashionable in a while.
00:13:19.410 --> 00:13:28.177
But so I and I wanted to shave today, but we had a very full on day where we got a lot of results done and I nixed the shave for today.
00:13:28.549 --> 00:13:28.830
Good job.
00:13:30.274 --> 00:13:31.889
That shows that I'm a recovering perfectionist.
00:13:31.889 --> 00:13:39.129
Yes, using your flexibility, Even two years ago I probably would have been like shaving like 30 seconds before and showing up later, or something like that.
00:13:39.129 --> 00:13:42.699
Now, perfectionism, it's a grind.
00:13:42.740 --> 00:13:45.434
Yeah Well, and then we see it.
00:13:45.434 --> 00:13:50.578
You know as a crutch, that a lot of people will use it unconsciously.
00:13:50.578 --> 00:13:51.834
They may not know what's going on.
00:13:51.834 --> 00:13:56.875
They're not saying, you know, maybe they are, maybe some people are saying, well, this has to be perfect, so I'm not even gonna do it.
00:13:56.875 --> 00:14:02.954
A lot, though, is unconscious, where they want it to be perfect, so bad.
00:14:02.954 --> 00:14:10.698
And so then they prepare to prepare, to prepare, to prepare, to prepare, to prepare, and then they have what we call failure to launch.
00:14:10.979 --> 00:14:23.115
Yeah when they just can't get it off the ground because they're preparing, to prepare, to prepare, to prepare, to prepare, to prepare and never get anywhere.
00:14:23.115 --> 00:14:28.356
And analysis until paralysis we would see people when we're like hey, how's that thing that you are working on?
00:14:28.356 --> 00:14:32.360
Oh well, I'm still, I'm still preparing for it, I'm still working on it.
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:33.615
And then a year later we'd see them again.
00:14:33.615 --> 00:14:34.995
How's that thing go when you're working on?
00:14:34.995 --> 00:14:38.514
Well, you know, I'm still preparing for it.
00:14:38.533 --> 00:14:39.234
I'm thinking about it.
00:14:39.234 --> 00:14:40.957
Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:14:41.257 --> 00:14:43.942
Yes, do it, just do it, just do it.
00:14:44.121 --> 00:14:44.421
Hold on.
00:14:44.421 --> 00:14:45.623
Can I tell you something funny?
00:14:45.623 --> 00:14:58.099
When I was in the corporate world you want to talk about perfectionism in the corporate world and bureaucratic cockamamie we would have
meetings to plan for the meetings.
00:14:58.099 --> 00:15:01.555
Oh goodness, that set us up for the meeting.
00:15:02.016 --> 00:15:06.951
I'm not kidding you, Not, not, not A planning meeting for the meeting yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:15:06.951 --> 00:15:07.814
You missed a layer.
00:15:08.490 --> 00:15:18.856
Two one was a planning meeting that planned out what was going to be discussed in the planning meeting, and then the planning meeting was a meeting to discuss what was going to happen in the actual meeting.
00:15:18.856 --> 00:15:22.934
I was like those are people who just love to meet.
00:15:24.109 --> 00:15:28.881
Like seriously, I was like bureaucracy, craziness.
00:15:28.881 --> 00:15:42.198
That's an example of like a company having paralyzing, just perfectionism within their culture and that breeds individuals to be perfectionists.
00:15:42.198 --> 00:15:52.473
A planning meeting to talk about what's going to be a pre-planning meeting that's what it's called Pre-planning meeting to talk about what was going to be in the planning meeting, that was to talk about what was going to be the actual meeting.
00:15:52.473 --> 00:15:58.822
Perfectionism it is, you know, healable.
00:15:59.349 --> 00:15:59.591
Yes.
00:16:00.173 --> 00:16:00.495
It is.
00:16:00.554 --> 00:16:02.673
There is a cure there is a cure.
00:16:03.649 --> 00:16:04.714
It's running parachute release.
00:16:04.714 --> 00:16:06.075
Join us in Mind Power Breakthrough.
00:16:06.075 --> 00:16:12.620
If you are a perfectionist and you need to let that go so you can produce more and get more results.
00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:15.458
So, having a fear of perfection, you'll never reach it.
00:16:15.458 --> 00:16:16.394
That's Salvador Dali.
00:16:16.394 --> 00:16:19.012
Perfect as the enemy of good that's Voltaire.
00:16:19.012 --> 00:16:21.291
Voltaire, remember that, let it go.
00:16:21.291 --> 00:16:27.106
Like we talk about in our book Shoot for 90%.
00:16:27.849 --> 00:16:30.534
Perfect, that's right, that's it, that's right.
00:16:30.554 --> 00:16:31.415
Two for 90%.
00:16:31.415 --> 00:16:35.202
It will save you time, it'll save your world.
00:16:35.202 --> 00:16:36.245
It'll save you.
00:16:36.245 --> 00:16:38.251
It'll save your life.
00:16:38.251 --> 00:16:40.194
No, I'm serious, I gotta be dramatic.
00:16:40.194 --> 00:16:40.635
No, it will.
00:16:40.635 --> 00:16:43.399
I know I'm dramatic sometimes Because it will save you stress.
00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:44.021
I think it's true.
00:16:44.241 --> 00:16:45.924
Anxiety overwhelm.
00:16:46.149 --> 00:16:58.051
Most people have anxiety and overwhelm and scatterness due to their own doing being so busy, yeah, and trying to be so perfect at all the things along the way, perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect.
00:16:58.051 --> 00:17:00.795
Oh, and then, on top of that, they multitask, oh no.
00:17:01.616 --> 00:17:03.841
You know how we feel about multitasking.
00:17:03.841 --> 00:17:08.511
We'll have to resurrect that for some new people, for some new people, all right.
00:17:08.852 --> 00:17:14.778
Okay, so let's talk about what to do when you make a mistake.
00:17:15.220 --> 00:17:16.000
Yeah.
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:20.286
And then, when you know what to do, it'll allow you to be okay with the mistakes ahead of time.
00:17:20.286 --> 00:17:20.925
That's what we find.
00:17:20.925 --> 00:17:35.965
A lot of people say just stop the perfection, and what we're going to do is allow you to have a strategy to get out of it, which is knowing mistakes are going to happen and then knowing how to just sail through the mistakes.
00:17:35.965 --> 00:17:37.990
You see, the land of mistakes.
00:17:37.990 --> 00:17:39.173
Yeah, it's going to happen.
00:17:39.173 --> 00:17:41.635
Yeah, yeah, it's like an obstacle course.
00:17:41.796 --> 00:17:47.344
We've promoted mistakes so much here, so now let's tell you what to do when you do make those mistakes.
00:17:47.364 --> 00:17:48.905
Have no fear of mistakes you already have.
00:17:48.905 --> 00:17:49.385
Embrace them.
00:17:49.470 --> 00:17:49.750
Right.
00:17:49.750 --> 00:17:50.411
So now what?
00:17:50.730 --> 00:17:50.890
Yeah.
00:17:50.951 --> 00:18:01.060
So we have created the ICE method, which is ICE I stands for, identify Yep.
00:18:01.060 --> 00:18:07.646
So just identify that the mistake happened right and acknowledge that you made a mistake.
00:18:07.946 --> 00:18:08.166
Right.
00:18:09.671 --> 00:18:10.050
Easy enough.
00:18:10.050 --> 00:18:11.412
That's it.
00:18:11.412 --> 00:18:12.532
C is for change.
00:18:13.052 --> 00:18:13.272
Yep.
00:18:13.733 --> 00:18:17.155
Now you learn from this mistake, right.
00:18:17.155 --> 00:18:18.257
How did it happen?
00:18:18.257 --> 00:18:23.300
What can you change that can ensure that it doesn't happen again?
00:18:23.300 --> 00:18:33.748
Right, and once you internalize the learning, then you can approach similar situations differently in the future to avoid making the same mistake again.
00:18:33.748 --> 00:18:35.571
Right, right, so let's change.
00:18:35.571 --> 00:18:45.462
And then, finally, e is embrace, which is embrace the fact that you're learning, you're growing and the fact that you made a mistake, right.
00:18:45.462 --> 00:18:56.854
Here's the thing Super achievers push the limits and the limits will push back, yep, so just embrace it and say you know what I'm growing, I'm learning.
00:18:56.854 --> 00:19:11.745
At least you're doing that, right, because most people are not doing that, so they're not going to make mistakes because they're not pushing the limits, right, whereas you all, because you're here, we know you're into mind, power and leveling up.
00:19:11.745 --> 00:19:13.287
So mistakes happen.
00:19:13.287 --> 00:19:16.329
It's just a part of the learning process.
00:19:16.329 --> 00:19:20.334
Yep, it's a part of success, it's part of creating success.
00:19:20.334 --> 00:19:24.719
So I identify, identify, you made the mistake.
00:19:24.719 -->
00:19:27.260
Just be like oh, made that mistake, okay.
00:19:27.421 --> 00:19:27.662
Yep.
00:19:28.162 --> 00:19:32.767
See, change it Right, Learn from it, say okay, what could I have done differently?
00:19:32.767 --> 00:19:33.730
How did it happen?
00:19:33.730 --> 00:19:34.571
Yeah, Right.
00:19:35.493 --> 00:19:36.714
What can you change?
00:19:36.714 --> 00:19:38.136
It's why the C change.
00:19:38.136 --> 00:19:39.338
What can you change?
00:19:39.338 --> 00:19:41.321
What can you do differently in the future?
00:19:41.321 --> 00:19:42.022
Yep Right.
00:19:42.542 --> 00:19:44.185
So it doesn't happen again.
00:19:44.730 --> 00:19:46.892
Yeah, listen, there's no.
00:19:46.892 --> 00:19:49.894
There's no issue of making a mistake once now.
00:19:49.894 --> 00:19:53.342
There is an issue with making a mistake twice.
00:19:53.342 --> 00:19:59.686
The same mistake, the same exact mistake, in the same context, or with the same person, or whatever.
00:19:59.686 --> 00:20:03.138
By the way, it's okay, it just means you didn't ice it.
00:20:03.138 --> 00:20:06.182
If you ice it, you won't need to make the mistake again.
00:20:06.414 --> 00:20:06.797
Yeah.
00:20:06.797 --> 00:20:12.686
So if you never got the learning, then it's going to happen until you get the learning.
00:20:12.686 --> 00:20:15.523
So that's when that's what we call a pattern, right?
00:20:15.523 --> 00:20:21.087
You know, once is a fluke, twice is a pattern, three times is definitely a pattern, 100%.
00:20:21.087 --> 00:20:28.663
So if you find yourself making the same mistake over and, over and over again, stop yourself, ice it and really get the learning.
00:20:29.855 --> 00:20:30.757
What is a?
00:20:30.757 --> 00:20:37.624
You're all free from all of these, of course, but just for the point, If you have a professional athlete and they twist their ankle, what do they do?
00:20:37.624 --> 00:20:38.898
They ice it.
00:20:38.898 --> 00:20:43.903
Let's say that they you know they something happens to their knee and it doesn't feel very good.
00:20:43.903 --> 00:20:44.904
What do they do, they ice?
00:20:45.286 --> 00:20:45.807
it Ice it.
00:20:47.394 --> 00:20:50.281
They've got a professional tennis player and the you know their.
00:20:50.281 --> 00:20:52.346
Their wrist doesn't feel perfect, and what do they do?
00:20:52.346 --> 00:20:54.355
They ice it.
00:20:54.355 --> 00:21:01.119
What happens if you have, like, a boxer right and literally their whole body is sore and beat up, what do they do?
00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:02.461
They ice it.
00:21:02.461 --> 00:21:04.003
They ice their whole body.
00:21:04.003 --> 00:21:05.866
Yeah, and a tub of ice, a tub of ice.
00:21:05.866 --> 00:21:07.108
So the same thing.
00:21:07.108 --> 00:21:16.866
That's why, whenever you're making a mistake, all you need to do is ice it and all you have to do is, you know, think about I don't know if you remember, you know vanilla ice.
00:21:16.866 --> 00:21:19.236
Do you remember the song Doom doom doom?
00:21:19.236 --> 00:21:21.280
Do, do, do, do, doom, doom, doom doom?
00:21:21.280 --> 00:21:25.961
Do, do, do, do, do, doom, ice ice baby.
00:21:25.961 --> 00:21:27.057
Doom doom doom.
00:21:27.057 --> 00:21:29.923
Do, do, do, do, do, ice, ice baby.
00:21:29.923 --> 00:21:33.603
Okay, so when you make a mistake, you're going to want to ice it.
00:21:34.175 --> 00:21:36.385
Identify change embrace, identify change.
00:21:36.385 --> 00:21:37.630
Embrace, identify, change.
00:21:37.630 --> 00:21:46.425
Embrace, identify how you made the mistake, decide how you're going to change that behavior and do something differently in the future.
00:21:46.425 --> 00:21:47.427
Yeah, do something different.
00:21:47.427 --> 00:21:49.263
What do you want to have happen instead?
00:21:49.263 --> 00:21:51.633
Right, how do you want to behave or act?
00:21:51.633 --> 00:21:53.200
Instead, you're deciding how you want to change.
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.481
Embrace means that you take it easy on yourself.
00:21:56.562 --> 00:21:59.001
Yeah, you just embrace the fact that you're learning.
00:21:59.254 --> 00:22:00.198
Stop being yourself up.
00:22:00.894 --> 00:22:14.201
And you made a mistake and as long as you did the I and the C and you really get the learning and you change, then there's, embrace yourself, it's no, big deal, embrace the fact you're growing, embrace the fact that errors are okay, mistakes are okay.
00:22:14.521 --> 00:22:16.646
Now, repeated errors, that's a different story.
00:22:16.646 --> 00:22:18.821
They're repeated mistakes in the same context different story.
00:22:18.821 --> 00:22:25.783
But you're not For the super achievers and the high performers out there, which is all of you.
00:22:25.783 --> 00:22:32.922
Then you're just going to have to understand the fact that you're going to make mistakes and then you actually You'll celebrate it.
00:22:32.922 --> 00:22:37.254
Yeah, like Amy Curran said earlier, you're going to celebrate having made the mistake.
00:22:37.254 --> 00:22:42.697
You're going to celebrate having made the mistake because you know that's what's required to help you level up.
00:22:42.697 --> 00:22:44.182
Is the mistake.
00:22:44.302 --> 00:22:52.820
Right, and without that mistake happening, you wouldn't have got the learning Right, and so now you're better off because you got the learning from it.
00:22:52.921 --> 00:22:53.943
So that's ice.
00:22:53.943 --> 00:22:57.096
So stop Embrace me and stop beating yourself up when you make mistakes.
00:22:57.096 --> 00:23:00.723
It's a natural, healthy and integral part of the learning and growing process.
00:23:00.823 --> 00:23:01.284
Absolutely.
00:23:01.284 --> 00:23:04.499
Absolutely is I mean in the book I talk about.
00:23:04.499 --> 00:23:06.837
That's I often say that's.
00:23:06.837 --> 00:23:11.587
The secret to my success is that I don't strive for perfection anymore.
00:23:11.587 --> 00:23:24.359
I used to do it all the time and it just slowed me down, and I'm
so much more productive now with the mindset of 90% perfect, yep.
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:25.962
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
00:23:26.663 --> 00:23:27.164
Think about it.
00:23:27.164 --> 00:23:34.625
I mean, yes, we can say you're perfect, right, which is a great suggestion.
00:23:34.625 --> 00:23:35.426
It's a good suggestion.
00:23:36.055 --> 00:23:37.698
Oh, we're always going to tell you you are perfect.
00:23:37.739 --> 00:23:37.940
Yes.
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:38.760
You're perfect.
00:23:38.760 --> 00:23:40.544
You're a perfect mind You're perfect.
00:23:40.544 --> 00:23:46.759
So it doesn't mean that there's not always room for growth, but what we're going to say that is a positive suggestion.
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:47.281
Exactly.
00:23:48.034 --> 00:23:49.224
And think about it.
00:23:49.224 --> 00:23:57.128
We all have our flaws, you know, physically, cosmetically, mentally, emotionally, what have you?
00:23:57.128 --> 00:24:04.067
And we wouldn't actually exist here, if you know, without imperfection, right?
00:24:04.067 --> 00:24:07.504
So there's perfection in imperfection, right?
00:24:07.504 --> 00:24:13.086
So we wouldn't actually be here without imperfection, because none of us are actually perfect.
00:24:13.615 --> 00:24:21.557
You can use ice or something really tiny or something monstrously big, like there's no limit to it.
00:24:21.557 --> 00:24:22.954
Ice works right.
00:24:22.954 --> 00:24:32.693
Ice is something that came to us many, many years ago and it was amazing because we tested ourselves and we're like, wow, this is how to blast through the mistake quicker.
00:24:32.693 --> 00:24:42.079
And then, because we had a strategy on how to get through the mistake, then we were okay with the mistakes we made.
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:46.135
So it made it easier, like, okay, made a mistake, let's just ice it quickly and move on.
00:24:46.215 --> 00:24:49.337
Yeah, and here's the thing I mean just own up to it.
00:24:49.337 --> 00:24:53.059
I mean, if you're, you made a mistake in your relationship.
00:24:53.510 --> 00:25:04.377
Oh, identify the mistake that you made, decide how you do it differently in the future and that situation, make sure you say thank you for your patience, that it grows the moment there.
00:25:04.377 --> 00:25:07.393
I'd like to fess up if you really messed up and apologize.
00:25:07.855 --> 00:25:08.055
Yeah.
00:25:09.472 --> 00:25:14.653
And then decide how you want to change and be different in the future and then embrace the fact that you're growing and the relationship's growing.
00:25:14.653 --> 00:25:16.014
It works in any context.
00:25:16.014 --> 00:25:17.659
It works in health and fitness right.
00:25:17.659 --> 00:25:19.474
It absolutely works in health and fitness.
00:25:19.474 --> 00:25:23.098
So so why?
00:25:23.098 --> 00:25:25.155
What do you have?
00:25:25.155 --> 00:25:28.377
You have some stories of that in health and fitness right.
00:25:28.549 --> 00:25:33.398
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all over the place you never flew over handlebars on a mountain bike, did you?
00:25:35.055 --> 00:25:38.353
Never, never, never, never, never Shay used to be.
00:25:38.353 --> 00:25:40.459
She's also not only a recovering perfectionist.
00:25:40.459 --> 00:25:46.058
Paradoxically, at the same time of being a perfectionist, she was also a coordinated klutz.
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:47.204
Yes, it was.
00:25:47.204 --> 00:26:10.520
And is a recovered coordinated klutz yeah, what that means because I know it's a paradox is that I was coordinated, but I was also so klutzy at the same time, and so I would just fly over my handlebars or trip and fall, or I'd be running and I'd just fall and skin my knees and I was constantly falling until until.
00:26:10.849 --> 00:26:12.115
You disconnected that running parachute.
00:26:12.289 --> 00:26:13.776
I decided I was done with it.
00:26:13.970 --> 00:26:19.640
And then she'd let go of that running parachute and literally is she maintains her vertical.
00:26:19.789 --> 00:26:20.692
I always stand upright.
00:26:20.994 --> 00:26:22.731
It's amazing, so yeah.
00:26:22.731 --> 00:26:33.395
So be okay with imperfection, be okay with mistakes, and when you make mistakes, just Ice it, Ice ice baby.
00:26:33.395 --> 00:26:35.336
Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom.
00:26:35.336 --> 00:26:39.375
Ice ice baby Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom.
00:26:40.089 --> 00:26:41.395
Ice, ice baby.
00:26:41.395 --> 00:26:43.134
I think they should hire us to sing that song, yeah.
00:26:43.616 --> 00:26:45.773
All right, stop, collaborate and listen.
00:26:45.773 --> 00:26:48.793
You make a mistake, it's okay, and I'm not gonna do that anymore.
00:26:48.793 --> 00:26:56.397
I would need to write it down first, and then I think Okay so ice it.
00:26:56.897 --> 00:26:58.080
Just ice it Just ice it.
00:26:58.161 --> 00:26:59.202
You make a mistake, just ice it.
00:26:59.202 --> 00:27:06.212
It works for healing the body and it also works for healing you whenever you make a mistake.
00:27:06.473 --> 00:27:07.014
Absolutely.
00:27:07.034 --> 00:27:07.917
You might have to write that down.
00:27:07.917 --> 00:27:09.858
All right, stop Collaborate and listen.
00:27:10.201 --> 00:27:11.270
Ice it back with the brand new Jeff and.
00:27:11.290 --> 00:27:13.377
Shae are back with a brand new invention.
00:27:13.377 --> 00:27:17.832
Something grabs ahold of you tightly when you make mistakes.
00:27:17.832 --> 00:27:19.018
You'll be able to get through it.
