What I want to talk to you today is about the enthusiasm to get better. But I'd like to ask these to you, do you even want to be better? Would you rather be comfortable with what you have and stay in mediocrity?
In order for us to become better, we got a community around us. We got to be around people who will sharpen us, push us to be better, call us out for our blind spots, etc. The only way, I mean the ONLY way we are gonna be all God calls us to be is to live in a community.

I gotta be honest with you. Some of you need a little bit of that work ethic. Some of you need to breathe that into your children. Some of you need to teach them that they are not entitled - that you are not going to give everything. Listen, the harder you work the blessed you get - that's why I have titled this "A little bit of effort goes a long way." I just want to encourage you guys today that when you teach your children or grandchildren to work is not gonna kill 'em.

I'm reading a great book right now called "The Talent Code". There are a couple of guys in our mastermind group that recommended this book. I started thinking back about these guys in their history, their work history, their work ethic. These guys are off the chart! I mean, they have seven-figure businesses! They've been very successful throughout. Life has been successful and all the things that they've done personally and I started thinking, "Man, I might order and check this book out!" So now we bought a copy for everybody in our mastermind group. We're taking 130 guys through The Talent Code and what The Talent Code is about, is DEEP PRACTICE. It builds myelin in your brain. These neural pathways help us understand how to do the deep work and how to stay on task with doing the things that we need to do and it's through this deep practice.

Listen, do you know how tough it is to come up with the money for your taxes and those huge expenses in your company?
For years I've even maybe decades I didn't have a good system for that. Well about a year and a half ago I was introduced to Profit First, Mike Michalowicz and I want to tell you just to be totally honest, don't tell Mike I said this, but I thought it was some kind of hoax or scam or something you know. I've like I'm skeptical about that kind of stuff until I start really digging in. Well, we read the book in the mastermind group together, it's called Profit First and I'm going to tell you, even after reading the book I thought now I'm not sure how much merit I'm gonna put into this thing. How much validity is really there till a lot of the guys started saying, "Now we're gonna do this." And I'll tell you, I can't even begin to tell you how many guys in the mastermind have implemented that strategy into their business.

We do not know everything. Every now and then we encounter new situations. Situations that we do not have any idea how to deal with it. Drop the ego and get help! There's nothing wrong in going to a counselor or a coach to seek help. I'd like to encourage you today to get people around you. Get it in a small group. Get in a mastermind group. Get in an accountability group.
