EDGY Conversations

Your thoughts aren't magic. What you dream about at night is the result of who you are. Your thoughts are the manifestation of your subconscious. Whether that is good or bad.

Don't fall into the trap of believing that because you thought something, it must be right. The truth is that your thoughts aren't real.

They are the combination of memories and intentional beliefs that you have cultivated over the years.

One of the overwhelmingly apparent habits of high achievers is their insatiable curiosity. They question everything. They don't just want an answer. They want the explanation behind the answer. They want the research behind the explanation behind the answer.

But to get there, first they have to ask the right questions. Because as Richard Bandler said, the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your questions.

What happens when the book is finished, the live broadcast ends, the podcast is over, the newsletter is opened?

“What’s Next?”

Well, AWESOMEPALOOZA is next.

I’ve put together an epic one-day event in Greenville, SC on December 13th. Yes… a week & a hald from now. I would love to have you.

I’m working on a VIP dinner the night before the event where we can sit down, chit chat, and you can let me know what topics to cover the following day. I’ve got 3 days of notes crammed into this AWESOMEPALOOZA folder, and I know I can’t possibly cover it all in one day, so those of you in attendance will be telling me what is most important to you.

AWESOMEPALOOZA will be a YOU-led event.

I will be giving you the tips and strategies, but YOU will be letting me know which topics are the most important to you and where we will spend the majority of our time.

So join me on December 13 for this first time ever event- AWESOMEPALOOZA.

If you’re already a part of The EDGY Empire of Awesomeness on Facebook, you get a 50% discount. If you aren’t a member of the group, go join before signing up for AWESOMEPALOOZA and you can still get the coupon code.

Whether you achieve success or not directly depends on the stories you're telling yourself. Right now.

Think about that. The stories you repeat to yourself are the limits you are putting on your success.

Instead of just explaining that you tried and failed, you tell a story about how life treated you unfairly. That limits your ability to be successful in the future.

Instead of just trying something different or reaching out for help, you revert back to your story. And it's a depressing, downward spiral. The more you fail, the better you get at telling the story of your failure. About explaining it away. About pretending like it was done to you. Against you.

A better story means a better future. fewer limits. And more happiness.

So what sort of story should you be telling yourself?

Almost since the day he was born there was nothing that Clay wanted to do more than to become a professional fisherman.

From the time he was five years, he would spend hours each day with a rod and reel practicing the perfect cast. Fishing was Clay's world. After school. On the weekend. Anytime he could get away, he was in the water trying to catch something.

And his practice seemed to pay off. He could cast with pinpoint accuracy. He could do it all -- overhanded, sidearm, even flip-and-pitch. Those who knew Clay best would brag that he could cast a 1/4-ounce metal fishing lure into Styrofoam coffee cup from 50 feet away. His skills were impressive.

Especially considering how Clay was born.

Clarity forces action.

Take a moment to breathe.

You might be surprised at what a fresh perspective can do for you.

The stakes are high. But they've always been that way.

You're left bothered by where you are.

You're concerned by all the places you need to be and the progress you need to make.

In truth, there is no amount of hustle or charm that can speed things up faster than they are going to move.

If you're doing all you could do, the only thing left to adjust is your perspective.

Your vantage point. The way you look at the situation.

That's not a small thing to fix either.

It means that you're willing to change.

You're humble enough to admit there might be a better way you had not already considered.

You're resilient and tenacious, but also curious. You're learning and growing each day.

Not because life forces you to adapt due to the horrific consequences of your mistakes, but because you're going out of your way to evolve and expand and be a better version of you.

So take a deep breath and think about what uncomfortable thing you need to do in order to get a better view of where you want to end up.

You're going to make mistakes. You're going to find yourself in situations where life chews you up and spits you out.

Your mission is to learn and improve.

You don't need to get it right the first time. Or even the second or third time. But you do need to learn from your mistakes and figure out a way to make sure you get to where you want to be.

That's the secret to breakthrough. Continual improvement. An obsession with being a better version of yourself.

Wayne sat on the edge his couch in early 2004 watching the breaking news of a tsunami crashing into Indonesia. Destroying miles of land. Ripping homes off their foundations. Crushing town after town in a torrent of twisted metal and anything else that the raging water swept up in its path. Utter destruction.

What caught Wayne’s attention was footage of a single shoe drifting slowing along the shoreline. It made him sick to his stomach.

Dan Waldschmidt and his Chief of Staff spent 5 days in Laguna Beach recharging and hanging around people who can feed your soul.

How can you use Thanksgiving break to recharge your soul?

You can't motivate people when you're judging them. You can't help people or get them to change if you're labeling them and putting them in a box. One of the key reasons why businesses struggle to grow is a lack of empathy.

Instead of loving prospects and getting to understand them where they are, business leaders automatically assume that the person not buying from them is an idiot.

By the way, that is the same reason why churches fail. And associations that do good work.
