We're reading that book John Gottman's book, Seven Principles For Making Marriage Work, and, I want to tell you, that book is absolutely outstanding. At first I didn’t want to read but in chapter 2, John Gottman asked a question that I never really thought about. He said, “What is your secret weapon for defusing arguments?” I started thinking about that a little bit. I want to ask you today. Do you take things too serious? I mean probably, you are arguing about some dumb stuff in your relationship. We've got to do things to defuse these situations. I’d like to ask you again, what is your secret weapon? What is that thing that you're using to defuse some of those arguments or bad situations or disagreements that you're having? So just think about it. I don't know what it is for you? Whatever it is though I would encourage you to defuse it faster than not. Figure out what that thing is that you can do to defuse those bad situations.

We need to stop playing it safe. Remove those golden handcuffs! Pursue your dreams or ideas. They will not come into fruition if you don't at least try. Pull the trigger now. Take the plunge. Go for it! Quit being on the fence.

Affirmation, it does not come naturally with us men. But I'd like you to tell you that it is probably that changed my life as much as anything. I am just going to tell you, guys, we just do not do it enough. It is uncomfortable at first, doing public affirmation. However, the reason it is so valuable, whether we admit it or not, we need affirmation. We are all starving to death for affirmation from those who are close to us. Start now in affirming someone! If you are not sure where or how to start, start it in your family.

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.
