00:00:09,476 --> 00:00:09,943

Hey there. 

2

00:00:09,943 --> 00:00:10,110

Everybody. 

3

00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:14,280

And welcome to Fearless Thinking, a 

podcast designed to help you navigate

4

00:00:14,581 --> 00:00:16,816

authentic leadership and the 

entrepreneurial journey. 

5

00:00:17,50 --> 00:00:18,284

I'm your host, Michael Devous.

6

00:00:18,518 --> 00:00:21,154

And these are my thoughts, lessons and 

insights from my entrepreneurial 

7

00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:24,758

journey into coaching workshops, 

motivational speaking. 

8

00:00:24,991 --> 00:00:28,661

And of course, what I picked up from 

interviews with inspiring leaders and 

9

00:00:28,661 --> 00:00:30,397

entrepreneurs along the way.

10

00:00:31,131 --> 00:00:36,36

My mission is to help people unlock 

their untapped potential by using fear 

11

00:00:36,169 --> 00:00:38,872

as a catalyst for powerful change and 

growth,

12

00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:43,510

so they can step into the greatest 

version of their most authentic selves.

13

00:00:44,277 --> 00:00:46,413

All right, let's get in to some fearless 

thinking.

14

00:01:04,664 --> 00:01:05,298

It's me again. 

15

00:01:05,632 --> 00:01:05,799

Everybody. 

16

00:01:06,266 --> 00:01:06,833

Welcome back. 

17

00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:07,567

Episode 55. 

18

00:01:07,867 --> 00:01:09,235

It looks like I recorded it twice. 

19

00:01:09,936 --> 00:01:11,71

I want to put both of them up. 

20

00:01:11,237 --> 00:01:12,906

Episode 55, part one. 

21

00:01:13,73 --> 00:01:13,707

And episode 55,

22

00:01:15,208 --> 00:01:17,377

the duplicate, or the repeat or though. 

23

00:01:18,812 --> 00:01:21,881

That's what I get for not paying 

attention to the work that I've already 

24

00:01:22,115 --> 00:01:22,282

done. 

25

00:01:22,982 --> 00:01:24,184

It was already done in the can. 

26

00:01:24,184 --> 00:01:25,385

It just hadn't been produced yet. 

27

00:01:25,385 --> 00:01:26,820

So you get two, too. 

28

00:01:27,153 --> 00:01:29,389

That's two things in 12 episodes in 

one. 

29

00:01:29,622 --> 00:01:32,892

Episode 55, done from two different 

perspectives at two different times

30

00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:34,994

in my life. 

31

00:01:35,61 --> 00:01:36,29

So yeah, there you go.

32

00:01:37,63 --> 00:01:37,397

It's a two-fer

33

00:01:38,665 --> 00:01:39,532

enjoy by.

34

00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,67

Hey, fearless thinkers.

35

00:01:41,234 --> 00:01:42,669

Welcome back to the Fearless Thinking 

podcast.

36

00:01:43,69 --> 00:01:44,270

I'm your host, Michael Devous.

37

00:01:44,504 --> 00:01:45,305

This is episode 55. 

38

00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:46,873

We've had a bit of a haidus

39

00:01:47,307 --> 00:01:48,675

for the month of August.

40

00:01:50,343 --> 00:01:51,211

Yeah, sort of an unprepared,

41

00:01:52,512 --> 00:01:54,681

or unplanned, if you will, a vacation

42

00:01:56,649 --> 00:01:57,83

from production. 

43

00:01:59,552 --> 00:02:00,754

I don't know if you'll, where. 

44

00:02:00,754 --> 00:02:02,522

I moved to Colorado Springs. 

45

00:02:02,756 --> 00:02:05,625

So our new location is now here in 

Colorado Springs. 

46

00:02:06,426 --> 00:02:07,560

Yeah, I'm Loving it up here.

47

00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,430

It's beautiful town, beautiful people, 

really fascinating and interesting

48

00:02:12,32 --> 00:02:12,465

city,

49

00:02:13,233 --> 00:02:15,535

with some really incredible

50

00:02:16,269 --> 00:02:20,340

events and things happening, which I'm 

very excited about, especially the ones 

51

00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:23,76

that will support the Ascend Hub 

entrepreneurs,

52

00:02:24,277 --> 00:02:27,147

and hopefully some of my workshops and 

motivational speaking. 

53

00:02:27,313 --> 00:02:28,915

So I'm very excited about that. 

54

00:02:28,915 --> 00:02:30,750

I've made some really great connections 

and some incredible,

55

00:02:31,851 --> 00:02:36,756

just met some incredible people that 

I'm very excited about in order to turn 

56

00:02:37,457 --> 00:02:38,758

these dreams into a reality. 

57

00:02:39,225 --> 00:02:42,896

Which brings me to episode pity five, 

the urgency of dreams.

58

00:02:44,30 --> 00:02:49,569

Why delaying your entrepreneurial 

journey cost to you more than time?

59

00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:54,974

Now it's interesting, because I've 

jumped into some of those redict conversations

60

00:02:56,343 --> 00:02:58,511

and threads, the entrepreneurial 

threat. 

61

00:02:58,678 --> 00:02:59,779

There was a young man in there who

62

00:03:01,548 --> 00:03:05,51

is clear that he was young and he was 

trying to start his own business, but 

63

00:03:05,51 --> 00:03:06,252

he also had the opportunity

64

00:03:06,653 --> 00:03:07,854

to go to school,

65

00:03:08,154 --> 00:03:09,122

and

66

00:03:10,23 --> 00:03:12,25

he, and it would be paid for. 

67

00:03:12,826 --> 00:03:14,94

So he was looking for advice

68

00:03:14,494 --> 00:03:16,329

as to whether or not he should take 

advantage of it. 

69

00:03:16,329 --> 00:03:19,32

And of course, my response was, 100 per 

cent, yes,

70

00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:20,33

you should. 

71

00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:24,671

Because the cost of doing it later, 

rather than the cost of doing it now, 

72

00:03:25,138 --> 00:03:26,506

would be so much Greater. 

73

00:03:26,740 --> 00:03:29,376

And it's not just the amount of money 

you'd have to spend, but it would be 

74

00:03:29,376 --> 00:03:30,977

the opportunity cost in terms of your 

time. 

75

00:03:31,77 --> 00:03:34,514

And the value of that time increases as 

you get more skills, gain more 

76

00:03:34,514 --> 00:03:35,715

experiences and more knowledge. 

77

00:03:36,416 --> 00:03:39,519

So I was all about jumping in to get on 

that

78

00:03:39,853 --> 00:03:40,153

now.

79

00:03:41,388 --> 00:03:43,456

But it'll find his but to align his 

studies

80

00:03:44,491 --> 00:03:49,596

and leverage his studies to to maximize 

his impact and benefit

81

00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,0

in the area that he was interested in 

for his entrepreneurial journey.

82

00:03:55,368 --> 00:03:56,336

If you've ever had

83

00:03:57,70 --> 00:04:01,74

one of those dreams that you just keep 

putting off, telling yourself, you 

84

00:04:01,74 --> 00:04:04,811

know, you'll get to it some day, or 

you'll work on it later, or i'll take 

85

00:04:04,811 --> 00:04:06,880

my time writing it down and journaling 

about it.

86

00:04:09,149 --> 00:04:10,517

Dreams don't just happen. 

87

00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:11,785

They don't just come to life. 

88

00:04:11,785 --> 00:04:14,988

I mean, you've got to put the time in, 

and I'm here to tell you that someday 

89

00:04:15,689 --> 00:04:16,523

never comes. 

90

00:04:16,823 --> 00:04:17,290

In fact,

91

00:04:17,791 --> 00:04:23,29

what's interesting about the what you 

tell the universe when you do that,

92

00:04:23,396 --> 00:04:24,597

and I guess it's a form of 

procrastination. 

93

00:04:25,231 --> 00:04:25,932

Let's, be honest,

94

00:04:27,634 --> 00:04:30,503

you're telling the universe, you're 

actually inviting the universe to 

95

00:04:30,503 --> 00:04:31,838

insert other things

96

00:04:32,739 --> 00:04:36,509

into your schedule, insert other things 

and opportunities into your plans. 

97

00:04:36,810 --> 00:04:39,379

Because what you've done is you've 

said, well, i'll pump, putting it off.

98

00:04:40,413 --> 00:04:44,751

So that means there's space and there's 

room now for other things to come in. 

99

00:04:44,918 --> 00:04:48,421

And since you haven't defined what that 

is, and you haven't, you haven't spoken 

100

00:04:48,655 --> 00:04:49,889

this intentionally,

101

00:04:51,224 --> 00:04:53,760

then i'll talk about living with 

intention in another episode, I'm sure.

102

00:04:54,561 --> 00:04:55,195

But

103

00:04:56,262 --> 00:05:01,401

when you fail to identify what you're 

headed towards, when you don't specify 

104

00:05:01,935 --> 00:05:05,939

what you want on your game planning and 

your agenda and what your to do list 

105

00:05:06,106 --> 00:05:09,376

and your wish list to the universe, the 

universe is more than happy to bring 

106

00:05:09,476 --> 00:05:10,877

you a ton of other stuff.

107

00:05:11,544 --> 00:05:13,480

Some good, some bad, most random. 

108

00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,48

You know, that's just going to fall

109

00:05:16,416 --> 00:05:17,450

into your path

110

00:05:17,784 --> 00:05:21,921

and distract you yet again, from 

starting on that journey to make your dream

111

00:05:22,88 --> 00:05:22,389

happen.

112

00:05:23,456 --> 00:05:24,491

And every break,

113

00:05:25,225 --> 00:05:29,429

ah, that I take, this is a quote, by 

the way, every break that I take

114

00:05:29,929 --> 00:05:32,799

is a dream getting further away from me.

115

00:05:33,299 --> 00:05:35,535

This is a quote from shark, theory 

bailer. 

116

00:05:35,769 --> 00:05:36,2

Barby

117

00:05:36,436 --> 00:05:40,273

don't, if you've listened to his er, 

his podcasts, but they're they're 

118

00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:42,809

great, they're very short, but they're 

very intentional, all, and they're very 

119

00:05:42,809 --> 00:05:42,976

good. 

120

00:05:42,976 --> 00:05:44,310

There's lots of great nuggets in there.

121

00:05:44,911 --> 00:05:47,213

But I love that comment, of every break 

I take

122

00:05:47,781 --> 00:05:50,417

is a dream getting further away from 

me. 

123

00:05:50,517 --> 00:05:52,652

It's like kidding the snows bar

124

00:05:53,153 --> 00:05:54,554

on your life, right?

125

00:05:55,288 --> 00:05:57,857

I'm 100 percent guilty of this myself. 

126

00:05:58,358 --> 00:05:59,459

I struggle constantly

127

00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,263

with distraction disorder.

128

00:06:04,664 --> 00:06:05,765

I just made that up,

129

00:06:06,433 --> 00:06:06,733

you know. 

130

00:06:06,733 --> 00:06:09,436

I get distracted by so many different 

things because I have a lot of interests.

131

00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:12,38

And those interests take me down rabbit 

holes. 

132

00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:13,640

They take me off on tangents. 

133

00:06:14,441 --> 00:06:18,678

And yes, somehow in my brain's like, 

oh, this is going to be valuable if I 

134

00:06:18,678 --> 00:06:21,314

keep pulling on that thread and keep 

chasing it. 

135

00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:22,349

And sometimes it is. 

136

00:06:22,916 --> 00:06:25,852

Sometimes it's just for my own 

edification and my own education, you 

137

00:06:25,852 --> 00:06:27,787

know, like, so I can learn something 

new. 

138

00:06:28,121 --> 00:06:30,890

But to be honest with you, if it's not 

really focused on that dream, in 

139

00:06:30,890 --> 00:06:34,394

getting that dream, as I say, moving 

the needle of progress forward,

140

00:06:36,429 --> 00:06:38,98

then is it really a beneficial? 

141

00:06:38,598 --> 00:06:42,669

I think if you set aside time for that 

kind of distraction and you're focused 

142

00:06:42,902 --> 00:06:45,939

about it, meaning that it's 

intentional, and Friday afternoons 

143

00:06:46,339 --> 00:06:49,442

between three and five, I'm going to 

give myself two hours to just, you know,

144

00:06:50,10 --> 00:06:52,312

search and go down rabbit holes, or 

whatever

145

00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,784

you may need to create a rabbit hole 

list, you may need to create that for 

146

00:06:57,851 --> 00:06:58,18

yourself. 

147

00:06:58,351 --> 00:07:00,320

I have an ongoing to do list,

148

00:07:01,454 --> 00:07:02,389

which is actually

149

00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:06,526

an event on my calendar that repeats 

every day. 

150

00:07:06,893 --> 00:07:10,430

And I just open it up and keep adding 

bullet points and items to it, and then 

151

00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:14,367

I add those to my AI and make notes 

about what I need to do and explore 

152

00:07:14,668 --> 00:07:16,169

ways that we can brainstorm further

153

00:07:16,736 --> 00:07:16,903

with. 

154

00:07:16,970 --> 00:07:20,106

Some of them when they come up, some of 

them are ideas for shows. 

155

00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:23,543

Some of them are ideas that actually 

provide me with support and help in 

156

00:07:23,543 --> 00:07:26,813

building the Ascend Hub, or with 

workshop ideas and things like that,

157

00:07:26,813 --> 00:07:28,181

for my motivational speaking. 

158

00:07:29,449 --> 00:07:31,851

if you create that list for yourself,

159

00:07:32,152 --> 00:07:33,420

that

160

00:07:34,187 --> 00:07:38,91

procrastination list, whatever you want 

to call it give it a name, if you want 

161

00:07:38,91 --> 00:07:38,258

to. 

162

00:07:38,491 --> 00:07:39,693

That rabbit holiss

163

00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:41,861

it's there for you. 

164

00:07:42,95 --> 00:07:43,463

It has the links you want to like. 

165

00:07:43,463 --> 00:07:46,332

I say that link because I just found 

something interesting on Google about 

166

00:07:46,332 --> 00:07:47,33

xy and z.

167

00:07:47,701 --> 00:07:51,871

Put it in there, you know, save it on 

your rabbit hole list and let yourself 

168

00:07:52,339 --> 00:07:52,505

venture. 

169

00:07:52,906 --> 00:07:54,908

But don't do it every time it pops up. 

170

00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:59,779

Don't allow it to throw you and derail 

you from your focus and your attention 

171

00:08:00,13 --> 00:08:01,247

at the time that you're doing it. 

172

00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:04,751

This is why, one of the things that it 

took me to get back on course with 

173

00:08:04,751 --> 00:08:05,752

production, with the show

174

00:08:07,53 --> 00:08:08,188

was all of the things, you know,

175

00:08:09,456 --> 00:08:10,557

yes, we had the fires.

176

00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:11,991

And that was sort of

177

00:08:12,592 --> 00:08:13,727

hard of the decision to move. 

178

00:08:13,793 --> 00:08:15,362

I'd been wanting to move to Colorado 

Springs

179

00:08:15,795 --> 00:08:16,629

for a while,

180

00:08:17,464 --> 00:08:19,799

and it felt like this was the best 

moment to do it. 

181

00:08:19,799 --> 00:08:24,671

But it did come at a cost to me, 

monetarily in time wise, and 

182

00:08:24,671 --> 00:08:24,838

productionwise. 

183

00:08:25,638 --> 00:08:28,641

It did come at a very swift moment

184

00:08:29,209 --> 00:08:30,76

of change.

185

00:08:31,144 --> 00:08:31,678

And I just

186

00:08:32,178 --> 00:08:34,414

wasn't able to give my time to the show

187

00:08:34,981 --> 00:08:35,715

during this period. 

188

00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:37,617

So I forgave myself,

189

00:08:38,818 --> 00:08:40,653

I told myself, that's all right,

190

00:08:41,788 --> 00:08:43,523

start back up at the end of August

191

00:08:44,657 --> 00:08:49,863

and go into the fall with the this new 

season and with a step back into it. 

192

00:08:49,929 --> 00:08:50,96

Realized. 

193

00:08:50,330 --> 00:08:53,133

I hadn't finished the last week, which 

was episodes 51355.

194

00:08:54,334 --> 00:08:57,404

And I went through, I finished through 

54, but I didn't do 55. 

195

00:08:57,771 --> 00:08:59,939

So here I am doing episode 55. 

196

00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:00,473

Now,

197

00:09:01,141 --> 00:09:02,342

we all procrastinate

198

00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:03,943

sometimes. 

199

00:09:04,411 --> 00:09:09,749

As I said it is, it becomes a real 

craft and a skill set

200

00:09:11,51 --> 00:09:12,585

to build your distraction disorder. 

201

00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:14,888

But when it comes to

202

00:09:15,789 --> 00:09:16,89

our dreams,

203

00:09:17,457 --> 00:09:19,959

procrastination can really be costly 

for us. 

204

00:09:20,593 --> 00:09:24,97

It can lead to lots of missed 

opportunities, lost momentum and 

205

00:09:24,264 --> 00:09:25,598

increased self doubt.

206

00:09:27,467 --> 00:09:31,71

It's like watching a train who leave 

the station while you're stumbling for

207

00:09:31,71 --> 00:09:32,472

your ticket, right?

208

00:09:33,773 --> 00:09:34,574

These?

209

00:09:36,276 --> 00:09:37,77

Let me talk to it. 

210

00:09:37,377 --> 00:09:39,879

I want to speak to a few of these 

things, specifically missed 

211

00:09:40,13 --> 00:09:40,180

opportunities. 

212

00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:41,448

One, ok, so

213

00:09:42,115 --> 00:09:42,515

when you

214

00:09:43,616 --> 00:09:43,917

procrastinate,

215

00:09:44,751 --> 00:09:45,852

and I firmly believe this

216

00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,655

let's, step back this up, when you

217

00:09:48,988 --> 00:09:53,59

announce to the universe that you want 

to do, have, or become something other 

218

00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:56,96

than you are today, and that means 

you're an entrepreneur stepping out 

219

00:09:56,96 --> 00:09:58,665

under the road, bringing your dream to 

life and bring an impact to the 

220

00:09:58,665 --> 00:09:59,366

community with it.

221

00:10:00,333 --> 00:10:04,738

You have now invited from the universe 

many opportunities to make that happen, 

222

00:10:05,71 --> 00:10:09,142

including ways for you to grow, 

including opportunities for you to step 

223

00:10:09,309 --> 00:10:13,313

up and step in, including opportunities 

for you to open your eyes and learn 

224

00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:15,515

something new and adept, right?

225

00:10:16,516 --> 00:10:19,19

But the minute we procrastinate,

226

00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:20,353

we're telling the universe,

227

00:10:21,621 --> 00:10:24,257

you know, you could put the brakes on 

that, because I'm really not serious 

228

00:10:24,424 --> 00:10:24,824

about it. 

229

00:10:24,891 --> 00:10:25,291

Or,

230

00:10:25,692 --> 00:10:28,661

hey, here's another area that I'm 

interested in throwing me some more 

231

00:10:28,661 --> 00:10:30,764

opportunities and distractions where 

this is concerned. 

232

00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:31,664

You know,

233

00:10:32,832 --> 00:10:33,867

it's very true. 

234

00:10:33,933 --> 00:10:36,736

The energy that you build up and set up 

for yourself and the world and the 

235

00:10:36,736 --> 00:10:36,903

universe. 

236

00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:40,40

When you talk to the universe, when you 

announce to the world, and university 

237

00:10:40,306 --> 00:10:43,610

of god, if you will, that you pray to 

god, and that's your thing, Allah, or whatever,

238

00:10:44,678 --> 00:10:48,815

and you ask for support and help and 

guidance on your journey as an entrepreneur,

239

00:10:50,250 --> 00:10:51,351

your spirit

240

00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:52,952

support, your

241

00:10:53,953 --> 00:10:54,888

support systems,

242

00:10:56,256 --> 00:10:58,558

be they spiritual, physical,

243

00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,495

they will send you the energy that you 

need. 

244

00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:06,199

They will start working in the 

background to align a lot of the things 

245

00:11:06,199 --> 00:11:08,34

that need to come together for you to 

be successful. 

246

00:11:08,335 --> 00:11:10,437

But you have to do the work and step on 

to that path. 

247

00:11:10,570 --> 00:11:15,241

And you have to stay on that path and 

progress forward on that path towards 

248

00:11:15,608 --> 00:11:19,479

those things to allow them to continue 

to fall into your path, so that you can 

249

00:11:19,546 --> 00:11:21,648

actually achieve the thing that you 

said you want to achieve. 

250

00:11:22,15 --> 00:11:22,816

So there's your best. 

251

00:11:22,916 --> 00:11:23,83

Opportunities. 

252

00:11:23,450 --> 00:11:23,950

Lost momentum. 

253

00:11:24,584 --> 00:11:25,885

This is a big thing for me. 

254

00:11:26,119 --> 00:11:26,753

When I get thrown

255

00:11:27,954 --> 00:11:32,792

for a loop, within something pops up in 

my life, a corn

256

00:11:33,293 --> 00:11:33,793

calf, muscle.

257

00:11:34,894 --> 00:11:36,763

H, get sick for three days. 

258

00:11:37,397 --> 00:11:39,699

COVID fires on the Ranch. 

259

00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:40,633

You know?

260

00:11:42,569 --> 00:11:44,37

Did it used to be this way? 

261

00:11:44,37 --> 00:11:45,71

At least not that I remember. 

262

00:11:45,772 --> 00:11:47,507

I could get back up and running within

263

00:11:48,174 --> 00:11:48,641

three days.

264

00:11:48,975 --> 00:11:49,442

Tops.

265

00:11:50,977 --> 00:11:53,113

It now takes me ten days

266

00:11:53,947 --> 00:11:56,783

to two weeks, to really get back on

267

00:11:56,950 --> 00:11:57,584

track

268

00:11:58,351 --> 00:11:58,985

with my momentum. 

269

00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:01,321

And I don't know if that's an age 

thing. 

270

00:12:01,454 --> 00:12:02,922

I don't know if that's a mental thing. 

271

00:12:03,56 --> 00:12:03,823

Post COVID,

272

00:12:04,657 --> 00:12:06,126

you know, the long COVID situation. 

273

00:12:06,359 --> 00:12:08,28

I never had long goet, as far as I 

know. 

274

00:12:08,261 --> 00:12:10,430

It doesn't mean that my brain wasn't 

affected. 

275

00:12:10,830 --> 00:12:11,998

I had a really bad illness

276

00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:15,368

this past spring that took me out for 

an entire month.

277

00:12:16,169 --> 00:12:21,7

And it took me for ever, to get my 

brain back up and running. 

278

00:12:21,541 --> 00:12:24,944

And now I find whenever I get thrown 

off it's ten days

279

00:12:25,712 --> 00:12:26,246

to get

280

00:12:26,546 --> 00:12:27,47

back

281

00:12:27,547 --> 00:12:30,884

on harge and on track, both mentally, 

emotionally, physically,

282

00:12:32,185 --> 00:12:33,753

all of those things, both all

283

00:12:34,654 --> 00:12:35,155

of the above. 

284

00:12:35,388 --> 00:12:37,724

So, yes, lost momentum and then the 

other one is increased. 

285

00:12:37,857 --> 00:12:38,491

Self doubt, not. 

286

00:12:38,491 --> 00:12:40,26

Here is why I think this is 

interesting. 

287

00:12:40,427 --> 00:12:42,896

I've talked about this recently, 

actually, with a friend of mine, and in another

288

00:12:44,898 --> 00:12:47,267

meeting that I had with some folks,

289

00:12:48,968 --> 00:12:49,636

when you

290

00:12:50,737 --> 00:12:52,806

take action on parts of your life,

291

00:12:53,707 --> 00:12:57,310

and that could be anything from going 

to the gym and taking care of yourself, 

292

00:12:57,477 --> 00:12:59,713

meeting with your friends, to have 

dinner, making sure you make your 

293

00:12:59,713 --> 00:13:02,549

appointments on time, setting up your 

doctor appointments and not skipping them.

294

00:13:03,550 --> 00:13:05,285

All of the things that you do for 

yourself,

295

00:13:06,19 --> 00:13:08,21

we're you're first and you matter. 

296

00:13:08,755 --> 00:13:14,928

When you put those on hold, when you 

set those aside, when you take them off 

297

00:13:14,994 --> 00:13:19,32

your calendar to make room for somebody 

else who you value more than yourself,

298

00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:25,5

you are building your integrity, or 

better yet, you're actually tearing it 

299

00:13:25,71 --> 00:13:25,238

down. 

300

00:13:25,372 --> 00:13:28,208

What you're doing is, every single time 

you compromise your own personal 

301

00:13:28,408 --> 00:13:32,312

integrity for self care and love, you 

are telling yourself

302

00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:36,649

you're not valuable and you're not as 

important as these things, as this 

303

00:13:36,649 --> 00:13:38,551

person, as that meeting, as this job.

304

00:13:39,719 --> 00:13:41,454

And there are times when you're going 

to need to do that. 

305

00:13:41,454 --> 00:13:42,355

But be very, very clear. 

306

00:13:42,589 --> 00:13:44,758

Your brain remembers and your mind 

maps. 

307

00:13:44,991 --> 00:13:48,428

It it's over time when you continue to 

do those things to yourself.

308

00:13:49,462 --> 00:13:50,597

You are undermining

309

00:13:51,698 --> 00:13:53,266

your own integrity

310

00:13:53,633 --> 00:13:56,336

and thereby increasing yourself doubt. 

311

00:13:56,569 --> 00:14:00,340

Because when it comes to big decisions, 

when it comes to stepping fully into 

312

00:14:00,507 --> 00:14:03,209

that role that you said you want to 

have, do, will become

313

00:14:03,777 --> 00:14:04,577

your brain goes. 

314

00:14:04,811 --> 00:14:04,978

Hm. 

315

00:14:05,779 --> 00:14:06,880

Now, I Recall

316

00:14:07,313 --> 00:14:09,783

you did not actually complete step 12345

317

00:14:11,217 --> 00:14:13,620

and six this past month when taking 

care of us. 

318

00:14:13,953 --> 00:14:17,857

I Recall you moved all those meetings 

for your yoga off to the side so that 

319

00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:18,725

you could go do

320

00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:20,593

these three things. 

321

00:14:21,161 --> 00:14:25,465

Well, your mind remembers, and that 

integrity chips away there every single 

322

00:14:25,632 --> 00:14:26,599

time you do it. 

323

00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:29,2

And it opens up the opportunity for 

self doubt. 

324

00:14:29,135 --> 00:14:31,37

Because now your brain says, I don't 

know

325

00:14:31,638 --> 00:14:34,341

if you're actually serious enough to do 

this. 

326

00:14:34,341 --> 00:14:38,178

I don't know if you're actually capable 

of pulling this off. 

327

00:14:38,278 --> 00:14:43,49

I don't know if you're actually 

committed to making and seeing this through

328

00:14:44,17 --> 00:14:44,517

self doubt. 

329

00:14:44,918 --> 00:14:45,118

Right?

330

00:14:45,585 --> 00:14:46,386

So

331

00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,190

rather than building all those things 

up and real, if you can realize that 

332

00:14:50,190 --> 00:14:54,561

these are the costs of our 

procrastination and distraction disorders,

333

00:14:56,196 --> 00:15:00,600

be very, very cognisant of what those 

choices mean for you, so that you're 

334

00:15:00,734 --> 00:15:02,68

not left holding your ticket

335

00:15:02,435 --> 00:15:04,304

as the train pulls away from the 

station.

336

00:15:06,39 --> 00:15:09,209

So the power of now actually there's a 

book out called the power of now. 

337

00:15:09,209 --> 00:15:10,677

Yo should look that, look that up. 

338

00:15:10,677 --> 00:15:11,211

That's a very

339

00:15:11,611 --> 00:15:15,849

fascinating book about understanding 

that there is no past, there is no future,

340

00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:17,884

there is only the now. 

341

00:15:18,184 --> 00:15:18,818

And it's a very fascinating

342

00:15:19,953 --> 00:15:20,253

examination

343

00:15:21,154 --> 00:15:26,559

of space and time and how we perceive 

it, and why we spend so much of it.

344

00:15:27,60 --> 00:15:27,694

Our current

345

00:15:27,994 --> 00:15:28,294

allotted

346

00:15:29,529 --> 00:15:29,929

time,

347

00:15:31,231 --> 00:15:35,702

either reflecting on the past, worried 

about the past, using and leveraging 

348

00:15:36,36 --> 00:15:39,72

and leaning on the past, or with our 

heads in the future. 

349

00:15:39,539 --> 00:15:40,974

Not here, not in the now.

350

00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:41,775

And this.

351

00:15:42,809 --> 00:15:44,911

The time to act on your dream, though, 

is now. 

352

00:15:45,78 --> 00:15:45,245

Time. 

353

00:15:45,545 --> 00:15:47,947

That's when we got a strike while the 

iron's hot. 

354

00:15:48,14 --> 00:15:51,51

That dream is valuable and important to 

you and to the rest of us out here in 

355

00:15:51,51 --> 00:15:51,384

the world. 

356

00:15:51,551 --> 00:15:55,789

We want to see you make it happen, not 

to morrow, and not next week, and not 

357

00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:59,859

some day, some day, which we already 

said, somebody never comes. 

358

00:16:00,427 --> 00:16:01,294

The world is constantly

359

00:16:02,328 --> 00:16:02,495

changing. 

360

00:16:03,129 --> 00:16:06,366

And your window of opportunity, which, 

by the way, when you announced you 

361

00:16:06,433 --> 00:16:09,936

wanted to become an entrepreneur and 

bring this to life, was the moment you 

362

00:16:09,936 --> 00:16:13,473

made that statement, was the moment you 

took action on that road towards that 

363

00:16:13,540 --> 00:16:14,708

dream coming true.

364

00:16:15,141 --> 00:16:16,109

Right so your window of opportunity

365

00:16:17,143 --> 00:16:18,712

might not be open forever.

366

00:16:20,113 --> 00:16:20,680

Think about that. 

367

00:16:21,214 --> 00:16:24,317

The window of opportunity you just 

stated you wanted to have.

368

00:16:25,51 --> 00:16:27,220

Yes, you might have some things, but it 

might close. 

369

00:16:27,454 --> 00:16:30,990

Certain Doors might just, you know, 

disappear from your road of 

370

00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:31,157

opportunity. 

371

00:16:31,624 --> 00:16:32,959

Certain Windows just might shut.

372

00:16:33,693 --> 00:16:37,130

And you didn't even know it, because 

you took your eye off the prize, you 

373

00:16:37,130 --> 00:16:40,767

took your time and your attention off 

of the dream and got distracted. 

374

00:16:41,401 --> 00:16:42,736

So one is, take the first

375

00:16:42,869 --> 00:16:43,203

step.

376

00:16:44,37 --> 00:16:45,472

Nothing tells the universe. 

377

00:16:45,705 --> 00:16:48,475

You're more serious about taking action 

then action.

378

00:16:48,975 --> 00:16:50,443

If it doesn't have to be perfect, 

right? 

379

00:16:50,510 --> 00:16:51,945

It just has to be done. 

380

00:16:52,178 --> 00:16:53,613

Just get her done, right?

381

00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:57,617

So take that first step and identify 

what that actionable step is towards 

382

00:16:57,717 --> 00:16:58,885

your dream, and then do that

383

00:16:59,786 --> 00:17:02,522

if you are struggling with that 

distraction situation. 

384

00:17:02,889 --> 00:17:05,291

If you're struggling with 

procrastination,

385

00:17:06,726 --> 00:17:07,360

I

386

00:17:07,694 --> 00:17:10,30

have on my calendar which I've adjusted 

many times

387

00:17:11,231 --> 00:17:12,899

to try to find the perfect thing. 

388

00:17:13,133 --> 00:17:14,567

I struggle with my regiment.

389

00:17:15,635 --> 00:17:18,571

I struggled with sticking two very 

specific

390

00:17:19,72 --> 00:17:20,840

times of day to do specific things. 

391

00:17:21,641 --> 00:17:23,543

My mother used to do this for me when I 

was a child. 

392

00:17:23,610 --> 00:17:27,514

I don't know if your mothers did this 

for you, but my mother had a clock a timer,

393

00:17:28,648 --> 00:17:29,115

right?

394

00:17:29,616 --> 00:17:34,20

That she would turn on, and she would 

say, you got thirty minutes to do this 

395

00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:36,356

project, you got thirty minutes to 

watch that TV program. 

396

00:17:36,589 --> 00:17:38,358

You've got fifteen minutes to do these 

exercises. 

397

00:17:38,892 --> 00:17:41,327

You've got, what if she had me on a 

timer? 

398

00:17:41,928 --> 00:17:43,63

Because my hyperactivity,

399

00:17:44,197 --> 00:17:47,434

and I'm sure, at the time, was probably 

ht,

400

00:17:49,135 --> 00:17:52,672

was such that I couldn't sit still and 

focus for very long. 

401

00:17:52,739 --> 00:17:56,910

But she knew that if I was given a task 

with a time limit that I could watch, 

402

00:17:56,976 --> 00:17:57,143

the ticker

403

00:17:58,345 --> 00:18:02,15

that I would, I could push my focus 

into those thirty minutes and get 

404

00:18:02,115 --> 00:18:03,49

something accomplished.

405

00:18:03,516 --> 00:18:04,317

So

406

00:18:04,751 --> 00:18:07,954

if you're like me and that, and you 

struggle in that area and you don't 

407

00:18:08,21 --> 00:18:11,624

know where to do it, give yourself, 

like, Monday Wednesdays, and Fridays, I 

408

00:18:11,624 --> 00:18:16,162

will take one action step, one specific 

action step to move things forward.

409

00:18:16,596 --> 00:18:20,200

And then as that grows, and as you see 

some benefit from that, you can move 

410

00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:21,401

those things around a little bit. 

411

00:18:21,401 --> 00:18:25,605

If it's every day for you, then find do 

an action step every day.

412

00:18:26,439 --> 00:18:30,110

If it's not, then you may find yourself 

feeling overwhelmed by the obligation 

413

00:18:30,410 --> 00:18:31,511

to try to complete that thing

414

00:18:32,912 --> 00:18:36,750

and keep that to do list in your, in, 

your little calendar thing that the 

415

00:18:36,750 --> 00:18:40,286

distraction list that I have, the to do 

list on my calendar every morning, 

416

00:18:40,420 --> 00:18:40,987

eight a m. 

417

00:18:41,54 --> 00:18:44,157

There it is, the to do list, and it 

keeps getting added to all the time.

418

00:18:44,891 --> 00:18:47,460

And it's interesting, because I keep 

crossing stuff off as well. 

419

00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:50,497

And I have a long list of stuff that 

I've actually crossed off, so I can 

420

00:18:50,497 --> 00:18:52,165

look at and go, well, I've accomplished,

421

00:18:52,665 --> 00:18:55,368

oh, hell of lot in taking my first 

steps.

422

00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:56,169

Right?

423

00:18:56,836 --> 00:18:58,38

The second is to build momentum,

424

00:18:59,305 --> 00:19:02,976

small, consistent and ongoing actions 

can lead to, actually, to big results 

425

00:19:03,209 --> 00:19:03,710

over time. 

426

00:19:04,344 --> 00:19:06,880

This is the thing that I, like I've 

said, I struggle

427

00:19:07,781 --> 00:19:08,515

with being consistent. 

428

00:19:08,982 --> 00:19:11,384

I struggle with staying on top of it. 

429

00:19:11,384 --> 00:19:14,387

And part of that's because I'm my own 

boss, or that's because,

430

00:19:15,855 --> 00:19:17,857

you know, there's no one else driving 

this train

431

00:19:19,459 --> 00:19:20,593

but me and

432

00:19:22,95 --> 00:19:22,896

I, I will.

433

00:19:24,30 --> 00:19:24,764

I do a lot. 

434

00:19:24,831 --> 00:19:25,632

I accomplish a lot. 

435

00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:27,33

I have a pretty high bar,

436

00:19:28,902 --> 00:19:30,236

but I love a good coach.

437

00:19:31,538 --> 00:19:33,640

I love of an accountability partner. 

438

00:19:33,873 --> 00:19:36,676

And somebody, without me, stay 

consistent with my actions. 

439

00:19:37,77 --> 00:19:37,277

And if

440

00:19:37,610 --> 00:19:40,580

you want to build momentum, and you 

want to build those consistent, small 

441

00:19:40,747 --> 00:19:44,250

actions, you might consider getting an 

accountability party for the area, the 

442

00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:46,886

project that you're interested in, the 

dream that you want to focus on

443

00:19:47,721 --> 00:19:52,25

that can help you stay focused on those 

deliverables and keep that momentum 

444

00:19:52,659 --> 00:19:52,826

going. 

445

00:19:53,460 --> 00:19:54,427

Nothing tells the universe. 

446

00:19:54,994 --> 00:19:59,632

You're more serious about that momentum 

and building success then staying with 

447

00:19:59,632 --> 00:20:03,370

it and keeping those actions and that 

energy headed in that direction.

448

00:20:04,504 --> 00:20:05,872

Third is to invest in yourself. 

449

00:20:06,172 --> 00:20:08,908

All of this is an investment in you. 

450

00:20:09,209 --> 00:20:12,512

All of this is an investment in your 

time, your intention, your energy, your 

451

00:20:12,512 --> 00:20:14,881

skill sets, your learning,

452

00:20:15,615 --> 00:20:17,117

your mind, your perspectives,

453

00:20:18,518 --> 00:20:22,589

your experiences are valuable cause 

you're investing all these things to in 

454

00:20:22,589 --> 00:20:22,756

yourself. 

455

00:20:22,989 --> 00:20:23,790

So learning new skills,

456

00:20:24,891 --> 00:20:26,559

connecting with mentors,

457

00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,196

excuse me, there's your accountability 

partner, a good mentor. 

458

00:20:30,597 --> 00:20:33,533

And surrounding yourself with people 

who actually believe in you that's an 

459

00:20:33,533 --> 00:20:34,267

investment in you.

460

00:20:36,36 --> 00:20:36,836

Also, compassion,

461

00:20:38,104 --> 00:20:40,674

time, taking time to take care of you. 

462

00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:42,108

Like I said it earlier on, when you're

463

00:20:42,676 --> 00:20:45,912

pushing off those meetings with 

yourself,

464

00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,716

whether that's going to the gym or 

taking care of your laundry, or 

465

00:20:49,716 --> 00:20:52,519

whatever it might be, that's investing 

in yourself,

466

00:20:53,620 --> 00:20:53,787

right? 

467

00:20:53,953 --> 00:20:58,558

You're telling yourself, I value you 

and I'm doing this to care for you.

468

00:20:58,992 --> 00:21:00,827

So remember that that's also an 

investment. 

469

00:21:01,161 --> 00:21:01,761

And if you want to

470

00:21:02,262 --> 00:21:05,31

keep your commitments to you,

471

00:21:05,932 --> 00:21:07,467

then that you've got it. 

472

00:21:07,534 --> 00:21:11,871

You've got to keep those things on your 

calendar and honor them, honor yourself 

473

00:21:12,38 --> 00:21:13,306

and honor yourself where you're at. 

474

00:21:13,306 --> 00:21:16,176

You know, if you need to take a break 

and need to back up, like me, this 

475

00:21:16,276 --> 00:21:20,347

August, I was like, I just can't keep 

up with the show and all the other 

476

00:21:20,413 --> 00:21:24,184

things I've got to do and move to a new 

city and start over again. 

477

00:21:24,751 --> 00:21:25,452

So,

478

00:21:26,586 --> 00:21:28,21

yeah, I had to honor that. 

479

00:21:28,188 --> 00:21:31,991

And I'm honoring that, number one, by 

telling you that I did it,

480

00:21:33,59 --> 00:21:34,194

I didn't keep up with it. 

481

00:21:34,661 --> 00:21:36,896

And I'm not saying that's a mistake or 

an error. 

482

00:21:37,63 --> 00:21:37,931

It's just it is what it is.

483

00:21:38,498 --> 00:21:39,466

But I accept it. 

484

00:21:39,699 --> 00:21:44,437

And I'm honoring it by acknowledging 

that it took place and that I made that 

485

00:21:44,437 --> 00:21:45,138

choice to do. 

486

00:21:45,305 --> 00:21:48,8

That it's not anybody else's 

responsibility about my own.

487

00:21:48,975 --> 00:21:49,609

And

488

00:21:50,744 --> 00:21:53,79

lastly, you know, those are the three 

steps. 

489

00:21:53,380 --> 00:21:55,315

One, take action, take that first step. 

490

00:21:55,548 --> 00:21:56,349

Two is build momentum. 

491

00:21:56,649 --> 00:21:58,251

And three is, invest in yourself.

492

00:21:58,885 --> 00:21:59,352

And

493

00:22:00,420 --> 00:22:04,24

whether you do it with, like, you're 

listening to this popular podcast, you 

494

00:22:04,24 --> 00:22:07,394

want to get coaching and mentoring by 

working with me or working with 

495

00:22:07,394 --> 00:22:08,28

somebody else. 

496

00:22:08,595 --> 00:22:13,700

Or if you join a local group, like one 

million cups, I recently joined one 

497

00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:14,200

million cops. 

498

00:22:14,334 --> 00:22:16,169

I'm really super excited about this. 

499

00:22:16,169 --> 00:22:18,38

I don't know if you guys know about a 

coffin foundation

500

00:22:19,305 --> 00:22:20,6

created this

501

00:22:20,907 --> 00:22:23,209

there's chapters all over the world and 

almost every city.

502

00:22:24,10 --> 00:22:27,313

Every Wednesday you join with other 

entrepreneurs and like minded individuals,

503

00:22:28,515 --> 00:22:28,948

who

504

00:22:29,716 --> 00:22:33,286

come together to share their 

experiences as businesspeople and as entrepreneurs.

505

00:22:34,587 --> 00:22:36,423

And you get to know people, you get to 

network. 

506

00:22:37,223 --> 00:22:39,225

It's genuine and it's meaningful, and I 

think it's valuable. 

507

00:22:39,459 --> 00:22:40,427

So check out one million cups.

508

00:22:42,95 --> 00:22:45,298

If joining something in person is not 

your jam and that's not your thing. 

509

00:22:45,398 --> 00:22:47,367

The Ascend Hub, which launched this 

past month,

510

00:22:49,369 --> 00:22:49,936

this month,

511

00:22:51,638 --> 00:22:53,73

we're building that space out. 

512

00:22:53,239 --> 00:22:56,276

Right now, as we speak, we are 

designing and developing all of these 

513

00:22:56,276 --> 00:22:58,578

spaces and areas to support 

entrepreneurs, which include

514

00:22:59,879 --> 00:23:03,950

mindset and motivation, marketing and 

sales, strategy, financing, funding 

515

00:23:04,417 --> 00:23:05,51

strategy and development

516

00:23:06,186 --> 00:23:07,187

sales,

517

00:23:08,822 --> 00:23:09,389

you name it. 

518

00:23:09,389 --> 00:23:10,256

We're building it in there. 

519

00:23:10,256 --> 00:23:11,725

And I'm working with a number of 

different partners. 

520

00:23:12,25 --> 00:23:12,525

I'm very excited. 

521

00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:16,596

I'll be making announcements about that 

very soon that are coming on board to 

522

00:23:16,596 --> 00:23:17,263

help us

523

00:23:19,299 --> 00:23:20,166

flash out

524

00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:20,767

the offerings

525

00:23:22,435 --> 00:23:25,939

partners that will bring additional 

resources and guidance and structure 

526

00:23:26,172 --> 00:23:28,274

and support to the members. 

527

00:23:28,508 --> 00:23:30,744

Of the Ascend Hub cross pollination

528

00:23:31,778 --> 00:23:32,78

collaboration

529

00:23:32,812 --> 00:23:35,715

on different types of workshops as well 

as partner subscriptions.

530

00:23:36,750 --> 00:23:39,953

So some of our partners have 

subscriptions to their own, either Apps 

531

00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:43,790

or platforms, and we'll be able to, 

once you join the centipe, you'll be 

532

00:23:43,790 --> 00:23:45,558

able to have access to some of those as 

well.

533

00:23:46,826 --> 00:23:48,628

Limited access, I imagine, but still

534

00:23:49,295 --> 00:23:52,465

more than you would have gotten if you 

try to do it alone.

535

00:23:52,999 --> 00:23:54,501

So these are really exciting things. 

536

00:23:54,601 --> 00:23:57,137

And if you need that community, you 

want that help, you want someone to 

537

00:23:57,137 --> 00:24:00,473

watch you and be accountable, you've 

got your accountability partner.

538

00:24:01,708 --> 00:24:04,978

Or you just need to listen to others 

who are going through the same thing 

539

00:24:04,978 --> 00:24:09,149

that you're going through on their 

entrepreneurial journey, and glean some 

540

00:24:09,382 --> 00:24:11,184

insights at some tips from them,

541

00:24:12,118 --> 00:24:13,887

youth me, then take that step. 

542

00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:19,359

Join me and Ascend Hub today there's 

information in links in the show notes.

543

00:24:20,26 --> 00:24:22,729

We offer those tools help entrepreneurs

544

00:24:23,530 --> 00:24:25,465

turn your dreams into a reality.

545

00:24:27,233 --> 00:24:29,769

And I'm very excited to be a part of 

doing that. 

546

00:24:29,769 --> 00:24:31,237

I'm not perfect, I'm not the best. 

547

00:24:31,371 --> 00:24:34,240

This is probably not the most amazing 

platform you'll ever be on,

548

00:24:34,974 --> 00:24:36,576

but we're striving to be good

549

00:24:37,610 --> 00:24:38,745

at being there for you

550

00:24:39,946 --> 00:24:43,717

and being available to make those 

things happen to connect you with the 

551

00:24:43,717 --> 00:24:44,751

right resources and the people. 

552

00:24:44,751 --> 00:24:47,954

And if it's not me, if it's not the Ascend 

Hub we'll send you on to somebody we

553

00:24:47,954 --> 00:24:51,391

know will send you onto a better 

partnership or group or community that 

554

00:24:51,458 --> 00:24:54,361

really is in alignment with where you 

are, with your business model and with 

555

00:24:54,427 --> 00:24:55,28

your launch.

556

00:24:55,795 --> 00:24:58,598

Because I am building those 

relationships, and I do have them, and 

557

00:24:58,598 --> 00:25:02,435

I can speak to them, and I can say, 

hey, you're much better suited over 

558

00:25:02,435 --> 00:25:02,569

here. 

559

00:25:02,569 --> 00:25:03,803

Why don't we just move you over? 

560

00:25:03,937 --> 00:25:07,640

And because I have that relationship, 

they'll let you in, and we can tea you 

561

00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,208

up for success. 

562

00:25:08,408 --> 00:25:08,808

That way,

563

00:25:09,609 --> 00:25:12,912

nothing would give me more pleasure 

than to ensure that you, as an 

564

00:25:12,912 --> 00:25:13,546

entrepreneur succeed.

565

00:25:14,581 --> 00:25:15,849

That may or may not be with us. 

566

00:25:15,849 --> 00:25:18,84

It may be a temporary time with the 

Ascend Hub.

567

00:25:18,651 --> 00:25:21,388

Maybe one on one with me or another 

person, doesn't matter. 

568

00:25:21,454 --> 00:25:23,556

As long as you're successful and as 

long as you're happiness, as long as 

569

00:25:23,556 --> 00:25:26,593

the world is receiving your gifts, and 

that's really all that matters. 

570

00:25:26,826 --> 00:25:28,762

So, yeah, don't procrastinate. 

571

00:25:29,396 --> 00:25:30,730

Get your, get your,

572

00:25:31,531 --> 00:25:32,98

you know what? 

573

00:25:32,198 --> 00:25:32,332

An order.

574

00:25:33,466 --> 00:25:34,100

Take that action. 

575

00:25:34,434 --> 00:25:34,734

Step.

576

00:25:35,68 --> 00:25:39,72

Build your momentum, invest in yourself 

and build that integrity, right? 

577

00:25:39,372 --> 00:25:41,74

So don't let your dreams, gather dust. 

578

00:25:41,374 --> 00:25:41,708

They're important. 

579

00:25:41,941 --> 00:25:42,275

They're valuable. 

580

00:25:42,575 --> 00:25:44,10

Join the Ascend Hub if you can.

581

00:25:44,811 --> 00:25:46,179

And yeah, how, an incredible week. 

582

00:25:46,346 --> 00:25:48,281

I've an incredible day and enjoy 

yourself. 

583

00:25:48,648 --> 00:25:52,819

And yeah, i'll be back with the rest of 

the seasons episodes every week.

584

00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:55,221

I'd get to get on. 

585

00:25:55,221 --> 00:25:55,355

It

586

00:25:55,855 --> 00:25:57,123

that's my commitment, to me

587

00:25:57,691 --> 00:25:59,159

and to the show, and to you, my 

listeners. 

588

00:25:59,459 --> 00:26:02,562

So, all right, have a great one guys, 

and i'll talk to you later by
