I want to tell you something. I hear guys every single day because I coach, talk about the things that they do for six weeks or 90 days and it's not working and they abandoned. I met an an old lady the other day in the YMCA. As I observe her, she kept going back and forth. I don't know how old she was and I waited until she got finished and then I went up to her and I said, "Man! You are so inspirational to me and I want to talk to you for a minute?" She said, "I can't hear you that well, speak up." So started speaking up to her and she was just a sweetest old lady I've ever seen in my life and I said, "How long have you been exercising?" She said, "I exercise six days a week." I said, "Man, that is amazing you've been doing that very long as she says every day for 17 years. It was so inspirational to me since she said that and I said, Man, I hope when I'm your age I'm able to do the same thing!" She said, "You don't want to know how old I am." I said, "Would you tell me", and she said, "I'm 87". This lady does her exercise every single day except Sunday. I thought, that's discipline! Where are we missing it in regards to our business career not implementing some strategies like the senior adult lady does at 87 years old. Six days a week she goes to the YMCA and works out! I'll tell you looking at her I think she's a better shape than I am and the reason is because she's disciplined! We can't let things get in the way. We can't let obstacles get in the way. I want to encourage you guys to be disciplined. If it's important, you'll do it!

I'd like to encourage you today when you're doing deals, think through what the real cost is. Not only as it relates to the financial loss but what it could pertain to as it relates to your reputation. We are people of character. We have integrity and we need to stick to our word regardless of the financial outcome. When you're faced with dilemmas think about what your character is worth and go forward and make the right decision.

I don't know of a day that goes by that I don't get told I just can't get motivated. Well, I want to encourage you today, motivation is not what you need because motivation is an exhaustible resource. It is something that you're going to use, it's going to get you out of the gate but it is not gonna sustain you long term. Let me tell you what we do in Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind group about three years ago. We read the 12-week year and I know I've talked about it over and over and over - - - I'll continue to talk about it over and over because it works! Brian Moran is a great guy and he's got a great system that he's developed and we've been implemented it into our mastermind group. I want to tell you the results are outstanding!
The reason that you can't get motivated is you don't have a plan. You don't need motivation if you have a plan and the benefits are really exponential! I can't even begin to tell you the benefits when you structure your day that way. There's no telling how much more I get done every single day because I have a plan. I know exactly what I'm going to do each and every day and because I have this plan there's greater success in more areas.
Listen, if you talk to me in the future don't tell me I can't get motivated because what you need is a plan.
