Have the courage to tell people the reason you are inviting them to a dinner or lunch. Do not bait and switch! Do not do that to people! I want you to be honorable and credible in your motivation. Do not get there and slip it in. If you do business that way, people will lose respect for you. Guys, we cannot do the bait and switch. We cannot do it with our wives, children, friends or colleagues.

Hey, there's a few good men out there. I want to tell you a reason I'm saying that. My family gets onto me a lot of times, they'll say, "Man you hammer these guys you're always saying what they don't do. You need to reach out sometimes and say the good things that they do." And it made me feel about that tall. I said, "Man, you're right you know." I do these guys pretty hot and heavy sometimes but I want to tell you something we've got some of the most outstanding men on the planet in Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind Group. Now I got to confess a couple of things to you though in regards to telling you how happy I am and excited about the good job that they do. I planned an event coming up pretty soon and there was a number of guys that I invited to this event and one of the guys that I knew were going to be there. I mean it was no question he needed to be there and I needed him to be there. He turned me down bigger than Dallas! He's like, "I can't make it." And I'm like, "Well what is the deal? Where are you gonna be?" And he said, "Well my 17 year old daughter graduates from high school this year. She's gonna be going off to college and she's got an event at school and parents are asked to be there. And I don't want to miss it." And I'm like, "Are you kidding me? I mean this is a big deal event!" And he's like, "Hey, let me tell you something. This is a big deal. This is my daughter." And then I started thinking about I said, You know, he's doing exactly what I've been teaching all these years. He's excited me after I got mad! It excited me to think that he would stand up and honor his daughter more so than a business transaction!

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.

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.
