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!

Do not be afraid of doing something new. If it doesn't work out right well okay, you can say, "Hey, I tried!" If it didn't work, pivot change. Do something else but do not be afraid that it's going to fail. Do not think what other people will say or how they are going to view you. Do not allow any fear to keep you in a place - a place that you're not going to experience the life that you want. It's okay to make a mistake. Failure is in not trying not in not succeeding. Shift your mindset! Go out there and go for it. I want to encourage you today to stop being afraid. Pull the trigger! Do something, try something, do it methodically, don't think you have to do it all at one time right. If you're in a spot that you don't enjoy, transition slowly. Get accountability, get people around you that can help you. Incrementally implement a process and a system and a plan that you can work your way out of where you're at.

People ask me all the time in coaching because I coach guys every da...."Big A,what's one of the best things that I can do to be successful", and I'll tell you right now.... it's to be committed! Not just interested!
Many of you have great ideas. I want to tell you right now the idea is not the problem. The problem is you're interested but you're not committed! You've got to say, "I'm willing to burn the ships". "I'm willing to set this aside". "I'm willing to delay gratification for the greater good of this project".

The number of one-on-one clients that I have today are guys that are needing to stop the bleeding and I tell everybody, "listen, when you get hurt in an accident what's the first thing they start to do? They stop the bleeding!" I want to talk to you this morning about stopping the bleeding. Here's the deal. We have priorities. We have things that are important to us but many guys are trapped. Like, you're in a situation financially where you just don't know what to do. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to stop the bleeding. I want you to put a stake in the ground and say, "You know what, from this day forward I'm going to make some changes." You've got to decide what your priorities are. Is it really your face or your family? Or is it really something else?

The theme of this is, are you counting the cost? The things that you're doing today, are you counting the cost? We've got to be honest to ourselves. We've got to count the cost on the things that we've got and here many of you don't want to do that because you'll have to admit that maybe you made a mistake! It's the sunk bias. It's like, I'm in this far, I might as well stay. Well, that's insanity! We can't keep doing that! You've got to count the cost at whatever you're doing.
