00:00:00.119 --> 00:00:01.564
Imagine every single day.
00:00:01.564 --> 00:00:03.129
Every single day, you got better.
00:00:03.129 --> 00:00:04.926
Every single day you got stronger.
00:00:04.926 --> 00:00:09.692
Every single day you got more equipped to handle the challenges that come with entrepreneurship.
00:00:09.692 --> 00:00:12.810
Every day, you had an opportunity for your vision to even get bigger.
00:00:12.810 --> 00:00:17.751
When you need the mental toughness, it's too late to build it.
00:00:17.751 --> 00:00:18.893
So what do you do?
00:00:18.893 --> 00:00:22.129
You build this, slowly but surely, every single day.
00:00:22.129 --> 00:00:29.009
What is the thing that makes entrepreneurs go from one level in their business to the next, to the next, to the next?
00:00:29.009 --> 00:00:32.887
What is the thing that helps entrepreneurs go through one trial?
00:00:32.887 --> 00:00:38.084
It could be a personal trial, a business trial, a business transition, a personal transition.
00:00:38.084 --> 00:00:42.673
What helps entrepreneurs go through that and continue to win?
00:00:42.673 --> 00:00:50.509
I have found out that it is not a strategy as far as a business strategy, but it is all about who they are.
00:00:50.509 --> 00:01:07.703
As entrepreneurs Like you are the most important asset in your business, and today I am going to show you how to get 1% better every single day, because if you can master this, it puts you in a position where your business is exponentially better.
00:01:07.703 --> 00:01:11.793
People think it's the business principles that make the business work.
00:01:11.793 --> 00:01:18.272
It does, but beyond that, there's an engine that drives their success, and it's all internal.
00:01:18.272 --> 00:01:22.506
Okay, so we're going to look at how to become 1% better.
00:01:22.947 --> 00:01:25.512
If you've never met before, my name is Dr Una.
00:01:25.512 --> 00:01:27.155
I am the founder of EntreeMD.
00:01:27.155 --> 00:01:39.022
I'm a pediatrician by training, but what I love to do is help amazing physicians just like you build profitable businesses, so you have the freedom to live life and to practice medicine on your terms.
00:01:39.022 --> 00:01:53.790
Okay Now, at the time of this recording, we just recently, you know, watched the Olympics, the 2024 Olympics in Paris and I love watching the Olympics because it's all about champions, right, it's all about, you know, people who are world class at what they do.
00:01:53.790 --> 00:02:05.751
And I think this time, you know, I walked away making up my mind that I was going to be world class at being me, at doing what I think I'm on earth to do.
00:02:05.751 --> 00:02:27.413
I'm going to become world class at it, and what that means is that there's certain disciplines and certain mindset shifts and certain actions that we need to take, and I kind of want to just start this off by asking you to stop and decide like, do I want to be the absolute best, like world-class at being me?
00:02:27.413 --> 00:02:30.778
Because I thought about it, you know, like I was like, yeah, I could do that for a sport.
00:02:30.778 --> 00:02:34.929
I could do that, for you know something that I do, but I don't want to do that.
00:02:34.929 --> 00:02:41.443
The one thing that you know that I think would be worth putting all that effort is decades of effort.
00:02:41.462 --> 00:02:48.067
Think about it when you see somebody watch, you know run a race and you're like they did this race in X number of seconds, broke the world record.
00:02:48.067 --> 00:02:48.907
It's so amazing.
00:02:48.907 --> 00:02:54.531
I mean, it took them, you know, four seconds to do that, or 10 seconds to do that, if you will.
00:02:54.531 --> 00:03:08.526
But if you's something that you're a student of, people come in to celebrate, like the 100 meters, right.
00:03:08.526 --> 00:03:11.975
So maybe they do it in 9.5 seconds.
00:03:11.975 --> 00:03:22.925
They come to celebrate a nine second race, but it took that person 15 years, 20 years, to become the person who could do that and to become a champion.
00:03:22.925 --> 00:03:28.806
Their routines and rituals and trainings and all these things required over a long period of time.
00:03:28.806 --> 00:03:30.391
Are you willing to do it for yourself?
00:03:30.391 --> 00:03:31.643
I'm willing to do it for me.
00:03:31.643 --> 00:03:35.812
I'm willing to become 1% better every single day.
00:03:37.462 --> 00:03:46.689
Okay, now I run a business school called the Untrended Business Schools, exclusively for physicians, and this is the beginning of our fifth year, if you will.
00:03:46.689 --> 00:04:09.594
We just celebrated our fourth year anniversary and I have had the pleasure of watching some entrepreneurs who've been in school all four years and they're building phenomenal businesses and I've watched them go through personal crises, right, and so either you know there's something you know, like a parent is sick or or they're sick, or you know things like that and they still have a business.
00:04:09.594 --> 00:04:12.484
I've watched people go through personal transitions.
00:04:12.484 --> 00:04:20.050
So this is not a bad thing, but they had a baby and things like that, so it's not a bad thing, but there's time required to you know, like, focus on that.
00:04:20.050 --> 00:04:32.105
I've seen people go through business crises where you have three people quit, or you have a major insurance company decide they're no longer paying, or they change healthcare saga that we had, you know, so they were not getting paid.
00:04:32.105 --> 00:04:35.625
You know embezzlement all kinds of you know challenges.
00:04:35.625 --> 00:04:37.630
You know business transitions.
00:04:37.630 --> 00:04:43.504
You know have a doctor that moved locations and some patients are leaving because they don't want to drive to the new location, all of those kinds of things.
00:04:43.964 --> 00:04:53.687
So sometimes people will tell me I need to take a break because this happened, this personal challenge happened or this business thing happened, and I'm like that's not the way that works.
00:04:53.687 --> 00:05:01.766
We're actually here to support you because we know times that are going to show up and we want you to win in spite of them.
00:05:01.766 --> 00:05:04.023
So they've had things like this go on.
00:05:04.023 --> 00:05:16.382
I've always paid attention to what they would say, helped them get through it, and almost all of them will go like I am so grateful for my morning routine, I am so grateful for my morning dream.
00:05:16.382 --> 00:05:32.307
This craziness is going on, but my morning routine is getting me through it and because of that, I wanted to come off to unpack this, because it is something simple, but I have learned that the fact that something is simple or the fact that something is easy doesn't mean that it gets done.
00:05:32.307 --> 00:05:48.127
So I want to unpack this and I really want to impress on you the importance of not only hearing about this and all of that, but actually doing it, and actually doing it over time and actually doing it consistently, because what this will do is it will set you up to be world-class.
00:05:48.127 --> 00:05:54.608
It will set you up to be the Simone Biles of your sport, which is the sport of becoming all you can be.
00:05:56.329 --> 00:06:01.793
The reason why these people are thriving is because you know there are elements that they've taken care of.
00:06:01.793 --> 00:06:08.317
They've built a formidable mindset Like it's a mindset that can withstand storms.
00:06:08.317 --> 00:06:14.942
That is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself as an entrepreneur.
00:06:14.942 --> 00:06:25.451
That is filled with strategies and insights and understands how the ultra successful function, that kind of mindset.
00:06:25.451 --> 00:06:31.800
These are people who have, you know, set it up that they have made their priorities, their priorities right, like.
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:42.338
So there's something about saying, oh, my priority is my family and my priority is this, but when we look at the way you run your life day to day, it's very clear that those are not your priorities, right, but they've prioritized their priorities right.
00:06:42.338 --> 00:06:51.110
So for some people it's their faith, for some people it's their family and their relationship with their friends and things like that.
00:06:51.110 --> 00:06:52.735
They've prioritized all of that.
00:06:52.735 --> 00:06:57.096
They pay attention to their physical state, because your physical state matters.
00:06:57.096 --> 00:06:59.483
How your body feels that matters.
00:06:59.483 --> 00:07:07.750
And these are people who are very vision focused, like they have their goals, their vision where they're going, on their mind all the time.
00:07:08.132 --> 00:07:12.281
So I want you to imagine like, like if that was you right Super solid mindset.
00:07:12.281 --> 00:07:30.951
You know your priorities are your priorities, because what that does is, as an entrepreneur, it's easy to chase down what you need to do and do the work, and all of that when you know that you're being true to yourself, when you know that the things that are most important to you, that you're treating them like the most important, when the main thing is the main thing.
00:07:30.951 --> 00:07:47.860
Right, if that was you and your physical state was on point, so you felt good and you're ready to go and do the work that needed to be done and your vision focused to go and do the work that needed to be done and a vision focus, like imagine how much easier it would be to deal with challenges, how much easier it would be to.
00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:55.028
It may not be a challenge, but now it's a new milestone you want to crush and there are obstacles in the way and you're like, yes, and we're going to mow those down and get the thing done.
00:07:55.028 --> 00:07:59.021
You come in and you had a team member that quit or you have whatever.
00:07:59.021 --> 00:08:01.778
Imagine if that was your state.
00:08:01.778 --> 00:08:02.399
Okay.
00:08:02.690 --> 00:08:09.732
So when I started working on my morning routine, I didn't just take somebody else's morning routine and make it my morning routine, and there's nothing wrong with that, like in the beginning.
00:08:09.732 --> 00:08:13.699
You can always start with that and as you practice it, you can start to make it yours.
00:08:13.699 --> 00:08:17.959
But the question I ask myself is this what can I do every day.
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:23.434
That will put me in a position where I'm moving in the direction of my most important goals.
00:08:23.434 --> 00:08:27.747
What can I do every day that would make me better every day?
00:08:27.747 --> 00:08:40.432
What would I do every day that will put me in a position where every day is a great day, even if there are things that happened that I didn't necessarily like, because what happened is that day I made progress.
00:08:40.432 --> 00:08:44.220
Every single day I can put my head on my pillow and say today was a great day.
00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:45.100
It was a progress day.
00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:49.562
I made progress, I moved forward, I moved in the direction of my most important goals.
00:08:49.884 --> 00:09:03.135
Life is life, okay, so I want to break down what I did with my morning routine so you can understand the concept behind it and really you can borrow mine, you know like, play with it and then edit it and make it yours.
00:09:03.135 --> 00:09:03.576
You can create yours.
00:09:03.576 --> 00:09:13.195
Maybe you can just optimize the one that you have, but this is critical because this is what makes you thrive as an entrepreneur, because challenges will come.
00:09:13.195 --> 00:09:15.782
Difficult situations you need to deal with will become.
00:09:15.782 --> 00:09:22.216
The discomfort of needing to evolve to become the kind of entrepreneur that produces the results you want to produce next, like.
00:09:22.216 --> 00:09:23.702
All of these things are going to show up.
00:09:23.702 --> 00:09:25.270
Okay, let's walk through this.
00:09:25.270 --> 00:09:26.133
I'll give you mine.
00:09:26.693 --> 00:09:31.835
I call it my daily five, even though there are six things, and, yes, I can count, but daily five is what I called.
00:09:31.835 --> 00:09:35.523
It Sounds better than daily six, okay, absolute.
00:09:35.523 --> 00:09:49.813
Most important thing to me, the thing that where I derive most of my strength, my inspiration, my comfort, my ability to go through storms, all of those things are my number one priority is my relationship with God.
00:09:49.813 --> 00:09:55.673
Okay, now, it's easy to say that, but if it doesn't reflect in my morning routine, it's not true.
00:09:55.673 --> 00:09:57.398
Right, it's not true.
00:09:57.398 --> 00:10:15.918
And so you know, I joke about this and I say that I'm an Enneagram six, right, and when I started studying about it, the person who taught about it said that Enneagram sixers are like people who have pre-traumatic stress disorder, like, and I was like, the accuracy, right, because nothing has gone wrong, Nothing has happened.
00:10:15.918 --> 00:10:19.774
But it's like, oh my goodness, this could happen.
00:10:20.035 --> 00:10:22.081
And if that happens, let me give you an example.
00:10:22.081 --> 00:10:26.855
So I'm gonna do an interview, right, for a new team member, the old Enneagram six.
00:10:26.855 --> 00:10:32.379
I'm still the Enneagram six, but what I mean by that is, you know, the unmodified version of me, right?
00:10:32.379 --> 00:10:33.995
I'm gonna do an interview.
00:10:33.995 --> 00:10:37.432
Well, this person is gonna come to the interview and they're not gonna like you know they're not going to like you know.
00:10:37.432 --> 00:10:38.796
They're not going to like my practice.
00:10:38.796 --> 00:10:40.359
They're going to think my practice sucks.
00:10:40.359 --> 00:10:51.490
They're going to tell other people they're going to leave a bad review, or maybe they'll come work with us, but when they come work with us, they're not going to like to work with the other team members and so they're going to quit and they're going to tell other people how we're not any good.
00:10:51.490 --> 00:10:58.400
And you know, and in the process of doing that, we'd have lost all this money training this person.
00:10:58.400 --> 00:11:00.764
And I could come up with this in two seconds.
00:11:00.764 --> 00:11:03.206
And I'm just sitting preparing for an interview.
00:11:03.868 --> 00:11:12.215
It's all these things that the business won't work and this and that I mean I used to have palpitations so bad when I started my private practice because I would wake up.
00:11:12.215 --> 00:11:15.630
I'm still in my bed, I've not even left the bed, I'm still in the bed.
00:11:15.630 --> 00:11:22.072
I just opened my eyes and all of a sudden it's like oh yeah, this is not going to work and this patient is going to come and they're not going to like the experience, that they're going to leave a one-star review.
00:11:22.072 --> 00:11:23.596
And because they leave a one-star review.
00:11:23.596 --> 00:11:28.210
The other people who are now, you know, not going to come, your team members are going to find out that you're not really all that.
00:11:28.210 --> 00:11:29.250
They're going to leave as well.
00:11:29.250 --> 00:11:30.572
This practice is not going to work.
00:11:30.592 --> 00:11:33.875
You, I use to center myself and realize that everything's going to be okay.
00:11:33.875 --> 00:11:49.561
I realize that I have help, and all of that is my relationship with God.
00:11:49.561 --> 00:11:58.160
It's prayer, it's meditation, because in the word, the scriptures, it tells me all kinds of great things about my practice and how everything I do will prosper and all of those things.
00:11:58.160 --> 00:11:58.481
Okay.
00:11:58.481 --> 00:12:01.979
So it is a non, non, non, non, non-negotiable for me.
00:12:01.979 --> 00:12:03.062
Priority of priority.
00:12:03.062 --> 00:12:06.500
So my first thing with my daily routine is prayer and meditation.
00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:08.597
Okay so, prayer, meditate on the scriptures.
00:12:08.597 --> 00:12:09.972
I do that.
00:12:09.972 --> 00:12:11.398
I'm able to handle the day.
00:12:11.398 --> 00:12:13.235
Okay, so that's one.
00:12:13.235 --> 00:12:26.192
And then, because it's my priority, what that means is all the stuff that happens in the day can happen in the day, but I made progress because I did something that moves me in the direction of one of my most important goals, which is building a solid relationship with God.
00:12:26.192 --> 00:12:27.996
So that's one, okay.
00:12:28.337 --> 00:12:31.630
So the next thing on my list is what I call MeTweak.
00:12:31.870 --> 00:12:34.552
Okay, so MeTweak is meaningful time with kids.
00:12:34.611 --> 00:12:37.754
It's an acronym M-T-W-K meaningful time with kids.
00:12:37.754 --> 00:12:55.426
I put that there because, type A, I love what I do, I love to work, and there was a time when, you know, I had, you know, the business and at the same time, I was working about 20 hours in the urgent care because I self-funded my private practice and all of those things.
00:12:55.426 --> 00:13:10.433
And because of the times we live in, it's possible for you to be in the same space with your kids, but you're maybe on a device, doing something, they're on a device or they're reading a book or whatever, and so you were in the same room, but it wasn't really meaningful time.
00:13:10.433 --> 00:13:14.336
You didn't pour anything into them, you didn't teach them anything, you didn't lean in to go into their world.
00:13:14.336 --> 00:13:15.336
You didn't do any of those things right.
00:13:15.336 --> 00:13:16.918
You didn't lean in to go into their world.
00:13:16.918 --> 00:13:18.458
You didn't do any of those things right.
00:13:18.458 --> 00:13:26.363
And so this was what I put in place to make sure that every day, I am spending meaningful time with them.
00:13:26.363 --> 00:13:42.309
I am asking them about their day, I'm paying attention to their moods and where they are and how I can support them and just having fun with them and making them feel seen and know that they're more important than any business that I'm doing or anything like that.
00:13:42.309 --> 00:13:52.985
So I put it there and because of that, at the end of every day, I can say my family, like my family, is my priority and I prioritize my family and my family.
00:13:52.985 --> 00:13:56.610
As far as my family relationship and goals and all that, that is moving forward.
00:13:56.610 --> 00:14:04.030
Do you see how the morning routine is not just random, it's done on purpose, and so I have my meat tweak.
00:14:04.030 --> 00:14:05.880
That's the second thing.
00:14:05.880 --> 00:14:06.325
That is there.
00:14:06.525 --> 00:14:09.173
The third theme is exercise.
00:14:09.173 --> 00:14:18.953
Okay, again, this is about your physical state, because the stronger you are, the healthier you are, the more you can accomplish as an entrepreneur.
00:14:18.953 --> 00:14:22.168
The more you can accomplish as an entrepreneur, the more you can withstand challenges.
00:14:22.168 --> 00:14:33.331
Because if you're so tired, weak, sluggish and all of that, then on top of it you have challenges show up in your business Maybe they're not even challenges, just that you're trying to blast through a milestone.
00:14:33.331 --> 00:14:37.889
It is hard to do that when you don't feel good, right, and so exercise.
00:14:37.889 --> 00:14:41.936
And when I say exercise here, it may not necessarily be lifting weights and all that.
00:14:41.936 --> 00:14:49.866
That's exercise, but in this context it's just something you do to pull your body into the state it needs to be in like the optimal state.
00:14:50.448 --> 00:14:52.317
For me, that was, yeah, everybody.
00:14:52.317 --> 00:14:53.260
You'll know what that is for you.
00:14:53.260 --> 00:14:54.706
For me, that is taking walks.
00:14:54.706 --> 00:14:59.092
Taking walks is absolutely one of the best things I do for my body, my mind, all of that stuff.
00:14:59.092 --> 00:15:08.576
But, you know, getting out in nature taking a walk, all of that puts me in a state where I'm like, let us mow this day down, let us conquer what needs to be conquered.
00:15:08.576 --> 00:15:21.686
We can do this right, you know, and I'll talk about why that is so powerful, you know, in a second, because of the way I combine it.
00:15:21.686 --> 00:15:37.389
But you know, for me, taking a walk in nature, I'm blessed to live in an area with a lot of trees and I can walk about six miles in my subdivision, and so it's just this beautiful thing of walking in nature and just looking at how amazing creation is, and I'm like I'm surrounded by this.
00:15:37.389 --> 00:15:38.852
I can create too.
00:15:38.852 --> 00:15:40.917
It's just, it's just magical for me.
00:15:40.917 --> 00:15:43.854
Okay, so exercise would be that third thing.
00:15:44.065 --> 00:15:48.976
The fourth thing you've heard me say many times how you know 2015 to 2016,.
00:15:48.976 --> 00:15:54.884
When I started writing my goals for 2016, I found out that they were the exact same goals as 2015.
00:15:54.884 --> 00:15:57.592
And the reason for that is out of sight, is out of mind.
00:15:57.592 --> 00:15:58.395
You know what I mean.
00:15:58.395 --> 00:16:05.885
And so if I'm going to be this person who is vision driven, I have my vision top of mind and I'm going after it.
00:16:05.885 --> 00:16:07.168
I'm relentless and all of that.
00:16:07.168 --> 00:16:08.773
I have to keep it top of mind.
00:16:08.894 --> 00:16:12.470
And so the fourth thing that I do is that I look at my goals every single day.
00:16:12.470 --> 00:16:15.177
So I have a journal, my planner, all of those things.
00:16:15.177 --> 00:16:17.378
I would write it on the first page of it.
00:16:17.378 --> 00:16:22.720
So it's so I have easy access and I just look at it and you know like I keep my eyes on it.
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:32.331
And it is so amazing what happens if you choose to be vision activated, if you choose to keep your eyes on your vision, because there's some things you'll be strategic about.
00:16:32.331 --> 00:16:38.371
There's some things you just find doors opening and opportunity showing up and information coming your way, and all of that.
00:16:38.371 --> 00:16:42.940
But because you're primed and you're always thinking about it, you can cash in on them.
00:16:42.940 --> 00:16:44.952
You could take advantage of those opportunities.
00:16:44.952 --> 00:16:46.458
So I look every day.
00:16:46.458 --> 00:16:50.070
What am I doing, activating myself to be vision oriented?
00:16:50.070 --> 00:16:50.750
So I do that.
00:16:50.750 --> 00:16:51.933
I do that every single day.
00:16:52.173 --> 00:16:54.826
Okay, the fifth thing is that I read.
00:16:54.826 --> 00:16:58.010
So there's a reading of oh, I want to finish this book, I want to do all of that.
00:16:58.010 --> 00:17:11.228
I may schedule the time for that, but this is really about the intention of filling up my mind either with strategies or mindsets of the ultra successful, stories of the ultra successful, and things like that.
00:17:11.228 --> 00:17:14.675
Again, at the end of the day, I'll be able to say I'm better.
00:17:14.675 --> 00:17:15.444
Why am I better?
00:17:15.444 --> 00:17:16.487
Because I learned something.
00:17:16.487 --> 00:17:24.228
I learned something, and so, whether that's 10 minutes, that you have, 20 minutes, that you have whatever, it's just this habit of I read every day.
00:17:24.228 --> 00:17:40.136
If you're going to, if you want to read a book a week, they are probably going to have dedicated reading time, maybe different from this, but this is like you think about, like when we make products right, the minimum viable products, like it could be 10 minutes, it could be 20 minutes, but it's just a discipline of learning something new every day.
00:17:40.136 --> 00:17:43.367
Okay, so that's the fifth thing and the sixth thing of my daily five.
00:17:44.792 --> 00:17:46.880
The sixth thing is I would listen to a podcast.
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:53.154
I would listen to a podcast because this is the deal we are surrounded by information, all kinds of information.
00:17:53.154 --> 00:17:57.148
We are surrounded by so much negativity, like, think about as an entrepreneur.
00:17:57.148 --> 00:18:00.255
There's so much on you know, like social media, to say you won't succeed.
00:18:00.255 --> 00:18:05.515
Or there's so much on social media about how it's so easy and you should just be sipping margaritas on the beach instead of working hard.
00:18:05.515 --> 00:18:08.332
That makes you think that something's wrong with you for working hard.
00:18:08.332 --> 00:18:09.576
There's so many of those things.
00:18:10.105 --> 00:18:21.080
But when you start listening to podcasts, you know like people who are founders of podcasts like this and all you have no idea how much it rubs off on you, till you find yourself in a bind and you shock yourself by the way you respond.
00:18:21.080 --> 00:18:27.232
Right, listening to people's stories, listening to people's strategies, listening to guests they bring on.
00:18:27.232 --> 00:18:34.567
I love to listen to the stories of entrepreneurs because it will normalize the challenges, or normalize the challenges you'll face on the way.
00:18:34.567 --> 00:18:36.671
It will show you principles.
00:18:36.671 --> 00:18:39.637
Like, you start noticing well, everybody had a mentor.
00:18:39.637 --> 00:18:45.994
And you start noticing everybody paid attention to personal development and you start noticing everybody invested heavily in themselves.
00:18:45.994 --> 00:18:48.326
You start noticing they all started before they were ready.
00:18:48.326 --> 00:18:54.830
Like, you start noticing these themes and you're like, wow, I want to be ultra successful, so this means this is what I need to do as well.
00:18:54.830 --> 00:18:58.430
Right, so listening to podcasts and doing it every day.
00:18:58.430 --> 00:19:03.567
Right, because there's opportunities every day to get discouraged, to think it's not working, to think something's wrong with you, all of that.
00:19:03.567 --> 00:19:06.681
But this is like you recharging yourself every day.
00:19:06.681 --> 00:19:16.391
So imagine this prayer and meditation, meaningful time with kids, reviewing your goals, listening to a podcast, reading, taking a walk or exercise of some sort.
00:19:16.391 --> 00:19:18.194
Imagine every single day.
00:19:18.194 --> 00:19:19.758
Every single day you got better.
00:19:19.758 --> 00:19:21.570
Every single day you got stronger.
00:19:21.570 --> 00:19:26.669
Every single day you got more equipped to handle the challenges that come with entrepreneurship.
00:19:26.669 --> 00:19:32.551
Every day you had an opportunity for your vision to even get bigger and the strategies for that level of vision.
00:19:32.551 --> 00:19:33.974
All of those things came up.
00:19:34.115 --> 00:19:38.829
When you need the mental toughness, it's too late to build it.
00:19:38.829 --> 00:19:45.798
When you want to look at the end of your life and say, oh my goodness, I really prioritize my priorities, it's too late to do it then.
00:19:45.798 --> 00:19:47.101
So what do you do?
00:19:47.101 --> 00:19:50.315
You build this slowly but surely, every single day.
00:19:50.315 --> 00:19:55.758
And every single day, when I do my morning routine, I don't feel like, wow, this is amazing, I did my routine.
00:19:55.758 --> 00:19:57.131
I feel like I can take the world.
00:19:57.131 --> 00:20:03.887
A lot of times I kind of feel the same.
00:20:03.887 --> 00:20:04.852
I mean, I feel pumped and things like that.
00:20:04.852 --> 00:20:05.414
But that's about it.
00:20:05.414 --> 00:20:07.261
But the mental toughness it has afforded me over the years has been mind boggling.
00:20:07.261 --> 00:20:15.407
And then to see it after you know, like the doctors at the entrepreneur business school, to see them do it and see them reap the same rewards it is so beautiful to see.
00:20:15.407 --> 00:20:17.250
So this is my challenge to you.
00:20:17.250 --> 00:20:21.219
This is my challenge to you Build your own morning routine.
00:20:21.278 --> 00:20:22.020
Make it simple.
00:20:22.020 --> 00:20:23.816
Five things, six things if you're like me.
00:20:23.816 --> 00:20:27.335
Five things that you do every day, that take you in the direction of your most important goals.
00:20:27.335 --> 00:20:29.203
But they help you build mental toughness.
00:20:29.203 --> 00:20:30.911
They help you learn other things.
00:20:30.911 --> 00:20:32.936
They help you embrace the discomfort.
00:20:32.936 --> 00:20:34.280
They help you do all of these things.
00:20:34.280 --> 00:20:36.030
They help you prioritize your priorities.
00:20:36.030 --> 00:20:39.554
Build that morning routine and start immediately.
00:20:39.894 --> 00:20:41.536
You may say, oh, it's a little confusing.
00:20:41.536 --> 00:20:44.818
You can see that my morning routine is very well thought out.
00:20:44.818 --> 00:20:51.163
You can start with that and then edit it as you go, make it yours and all of that, but start today.
00:20:51.163 --> 00:20:54.767
If you're like, oh, I've done this but I haven't been consistent, let me tell you something.
00:20:54.767 --> 00:21:00.792
I did a post a few months ago and I was like I am the most consistent at trying to be consistent.
00:21:01.253 --> 00:21:05.856
If you miss a day, boom, I missed a day, if it's the evening or whatever, do it then.
00:00:00.119 --> 00:00:01.564
00:00:01.564 --> 00:00:03.129
00:00:03.129 --> 00:00:04.926
00:00:04.926 --> 00:00:09.692
00:00:09.692 --> 00:00:12.810
00:00:12.810 --> 00:00:17.751
00:00:17.751 --> 00:00:18.893
00:00:18.893 --> 00:00:22.129
00:00:22.129 --> 00:00:29.009
00:00:29.009 --> 00:00:32.887
00:00:32.887 --> 00:00:38.084
00:00:38.084 --> 00:00:42.673
00:00:42.673 --> 00:00:50.509
00:00:50.509 --> 00:01:07.703
00:01:07.703 --> 00:01:11.793
00:01:11.793 --> 00:01:18.272
00:01:18.272 --> 00:01:22.506
00:01:22.947 --> 00:01:25.512
00:01:25.512 --> 00:01:27.155
00:01:27.155 --> 00:01:39.022
00:01:39.022 --> 00:01:53.790
00:01:53.790 --> 00:02:05.751
00:02:05.751 --> 00:02:27.413
00:02:27.413 --> 00:02:30.778
00:02:30.778 --> 00:02:34.929
00:02:34.929 --> 00:02:41.443
00:02:41.462 --> 00:02:48.067
00:02:48.067 --> 00:02:48.907
00:02:48.907 --> 00:02:54.531
00:02:54.531 --> 00:03:08.526
00:03:08.526 --> 00:03:11.975
00:03:11.975 --> 00:03:22.925
00:03:22.925 --> 00:03:28.806
00:03:28.806 --> 00:03:30.391
00:03:30.391 --> 00:03:31.643
00:03:31.643 --> 00:03:35.812
00:03:37.462 --> 00:03:46.689
00:03:46.689 --> 00:04:09.594
00:04:09.594 --> 00:04:12.484
00:04:12.484 --> 00:04:20.050
00:04:20.050 --> 00:04:32.105
00:04:32.105 --> 00:04:35.625
00:04:35.625 --> 00:04:37.630
00:04:37.630 --> 00:04:43.504
00:04:43.964 --> 00:04:53.687
00:04:53.687 --> 00:05:01.766
00:05:01.766 --> 00:05:04.023
00:05:04.023 --> 00:05:16.382
00:05:16.382 --> 00:05:32.307
00:05:32.307 --> 00:05:48.127
00:05:48.127 --> 00:05:54.608
00:05:56.329 --> 00:06:01.793
00:06:01.793 --> 00:06:08.317
00:06:08.317 --> 00:06:14.942
00:06:14.942 --> 00:06:25.451
00:06:25.451 --> 00:06:31.800
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:42.338
00:06:42.338 --> 00:06:51.110
00:06:51.110 --> 00:06:52.735
00:06:52.735 --> 00:06:57.096
00:06:57.096 --> 00:06:59.483
00:06:59.483 --> 00:07:07.750
00:07:08.132 --> 00:07:12.281
00:07:12.281 --> 00:07:30.951
00:07:30.951 --> 00:07:47.860
00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:55.028
00:07:55.028 --> 00:07:59.021
00:07:59.021 --> 00:08:01.778
00:08:01.778 --> 00:08:02.399
00:08:02.690 --> 00:08:09.732
00:08:09.732 --> 00:08:13.699
00:08:13.699 --> 00:08:17.959
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:23.434
00:08:23.434 --> 00:08:27.747
00:08:27.747 --> 00:08:40.432
00:08:40.432 --> 00:08:44.220
00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:45.100
00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:49.562
00:08:49.884 --> 00:09:03.135
00:09:03.135 --> 00:09:03.576
00:09:03.576 --> 00:09:13.195
00:09:13.195 --> 00:09:15.782
00:09:15.782 --> 00:09:22.216
00:09:22.216 --> 00:09:23.702
00:09:23.702 --> 00:09:25.270
00:09:25.270 --> 00:09:26.133
00:09:26.693 --> 00:09:31.835
00:09:31.835 --> 00:09:35.523
00:09:35.523 --> 00:09:49.813
00:09:49.813 --> 00:09:55.673
00:09:55.673 --> 00:09:57.398
00:09:57.398 --> 00:10:15.918
00:10:15.918 --> 00:10:19.774
00:10:20.035 --> 00:10:22.081
00:10:22.081 --> 00:10:26.855
00:10:26.855 --> 00:10:32.379
00:10:32.379 --> 00:10:33.995
00:10:33.995 --> 00:10:37.432
00:10:37.432 --> 00:10:38.796
00:10:38.796 --> 00:10:40.359
00:10:40.359 --> 00:10:51.490
00:10:51.490 --> 00:10:58.400
00:10:58.400 --> 00:11:00.764
