Welcome to the Work Hard Play Hard 12 Days of Christmas countdown! We’re approaching the end of the year and getting focused on our goals and what we want to do in 2020, so I’m replaying the interviews that I think have had the most impact. 

This episode is with Jordan Harbinger, master interviewer and human dynamics guru. Jordan spent 11 years building his former podcast and business, The Art of Charm. Then his business partners fired him and his team. 

Jordan says getting fired from The Art of Charm was the best thing that ever happened to him. It forced him to reevaluate his priorities and showed him the real assets of a business. He lost the email list, website and all the web traffic, but his business partners couldn’t take Jordan’s personal brand or the relationships he had built with his fans, his team and the people in his network. Jordan’s team joined him to create a new podcast, The Jordan Harbinger Show. Many of them even worked for free or half-pay to get it up and running and The Jordan Harbinger Show is now an incredibly successful podcast.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [1:15] Jordan’s youth + how wiretapping played a huge roll 
• [9:21] What The Art of Charm is + how it began 
• [12:10] What leaving The Art of Charm taught Jordan
• [24:26] What makes a good podcaster
• [27:49] The change over the years for Jordan’s mindset towards podcasting 
• [32:19] How growth happened for The Jordan Harbinger Show
• [34:26] Podcast routines that keep Jordan functioning at a high level
• [36:44] Finding rapport with guests that just aren’t clicking 
• [39:10] Podcasts that have impacted Jordan
• [41:31] In-person vs. behind the mic
• [44:30] Play Hard with Jordan Harbinger
• [49:55] Rapid Fire

Sterling Griffin’s whole personal development and entrepreneurial journey really started to take off in 2015. In October of that year, instead of spending his last few dollars on rent, he went to a Tony Robbins seminar. His key takeaway from the event was that he had to start spending time with successful people so he found a community of coaches and spiritual people in Encinitas near San Diego. 

His big breakthrough came when he was complaining to one of those coaches about how he wasn’t selling enough of his online fitness programs. She asked him who his business mentor was but he didn’t have one. Despite the fact that he was living in his car and on his friends’ couches, he borrowed some money and got a coach. That turned out to be the missing piece in his success. He went from being homeless to making over $100,000 in seven months and other fitness coaches wanted to learn what he was doing right so he began teaching them. Now his business is focused on helping struggling fitness professionals create 6-figure coaching businesses in 90 days or less.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [8:03] Are entrepreneurs born or made?
• [11:13] The impact of Tony Robbins
• [20:26] Sterling’s dream to make transformation accessible to more people
• [22:11] Why his coaching program has such a high success rate
• [34:41] How the average personal trainer in America makes $24,000 a year 
• [39:39] An employee versus an entrepreneurial mindset
• [43:59] How cognitive behavioral therapy has had a massive impact on Sterling
• [49:42] Living in Austin versus living in L.A.

Today’s Topic: Stopping goal rollover

• The Push Journal

Today Kim and I are talking about goal rollover. We’re on the eve of a new year and a new decade so goal-setting is in full swing. But who’s rolling over goals that they haven’t accomplished yet? Maybe ones that you set in 2017 or 2018.

We’re not talking about goals where you fell a little short on the outcome, we’re talking about goals where you didn’t make any progress whatsoever. 

This is how we set goals and make sure that we achieve them.

1. Be passionate about your goal

If you forget what your goal is, that’s a sign you’re not excited about it. Goals should not just look good on paper, they should be outcomes that would make a real difference in your life. For example, getting rid of debt is great but you won’t get excited about it unless you think about what it means, for example being able to work less and spend more time with your family.

2. You have to figure out the steps to accomplish your goal

It might take a while to set up the system and the infrastructure to achieve your goal so give yourself the grace and time to do that. One of my goals is to learn to surf but there’s a whole bunch of things I have to do first, like learn to swim better and buy a bathing suit that’s not going to fall off me in the waves. 

3. String habits together

I've got a morning routine that leads from one thing into the next thing. So the night before I have my yoga mat and my clothes laid out for me, I've got my coffee set up for me. My alarm is set for 6am. So I go from the alarm into the routine. And once that gets hardwired in, it's impossible to not do it. It's like you're not even using any bandwidth in your brain because it already knows what to do.

4. Celebrate milestones on the way

Happiness is not waiting at the end of the rainbow when you’ve accomplished a goal. You have to find it along the way or your achievement won’t last. (Ever lost weight then gained it back in the following months?) 

What are your goals for the next year? We hope this helps you reimagine and rethink them so you don’t end up rolling them over into 2021.

Rebecca Louise was a banker, a girl band member and even learnt how to fly planes before discovering her greatest party trick - the ability to work out and talk at the same time. She was in fitness videos for a YouTube channel when they decided not to make any more. She tried to talk them into selling her the channel and, when they wouldn’t come around, she headed to the beach with a $150 camera and started making her own content. Five years and a half years later she hasn’t missed a week of putting out a new video. Her mission is to help people get out of their comfort zones and be their best selves. As for pushing herself out of her comfort zone, next year she’ll be climbing Mt. Everest! 

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [4:24] Rebecca’s childhood in the seaside resort of Eastbourne in England
• [7:09] How excitement fuels her work
• [12:35] Her ability to connect with everyone
• [19:28] Being solution orientated
• [29:54] Deciding to move to California instead of being a pilot
• [42:32] What drives her to help people get fit
• [49:20] Why she’s climbing Mt. Everest
• [1:03:43] The benefits of being in a mastermind - or two in Rebecca’s case!

Today’s Topic: Creating Goals with Clarity

We screwed up our vision boards for 10 years so now we’re sharing our secrets to creating a vision board that works. 

The first thing you need to make a vision board that works is clarity. Don’t arbitrarily flip through magazines and cut out random pictures of the body that you wish you had but probably never will. Make a vision board with intention. Write down what you really want and then think about how you’re going to represent that on your vision board. 

One of our financial goals is for Kim to max out her business centre in network marketing. That would create a minimum of $702,000 a year in residual income. But she didn’t know how to represent that in a picture. The other day she was riding her bike past all these giant beach houses and she realized that when she maxes out her business centre she wants to throw a week-long party for her team members because she can’t reach that goal alone. There will be a pyjama party, a glam night and swag bags. Kim wants to throw the most beautiful, amazing event to give back to her people and then she wants to pay that shit forward and help somebody else max it out.

Including this level of detail and knowing what really motivates us makes us excited to do the daily work to reach our goals.

To make sure you’re very clear on what you want, hold off making the vision board for a week or so.

When you have made the vision board don’t put it in your bathroom where it’s going to get destroyed by the steam and don’t hide it away in a closet. Put it somewhere you and all your friends can see it. Have conversations about it when you’re making dinner or drinking your coffee. Because when people ask about it and you explain it to them, the more you own it and the more you make it real. 

We create our vision board as a couple because our dreams need to be in alignment before we can work toward them together. 

The last point is, you have to take the action. Do not let another year go by where you're staring at the vision board on the wall, and nothing happens. It's not magic. Get The Push Journal if you don’t have one. 

We’re holding a vision board contest for a free enrollment in our virtual mastermind. To enter:

1. Create a vision board
2. Do a video sharing the board and the ideas that inspired it
3. Put it on Instagram and tag @kimmurgatroyd and @robmurgatroyd

The competition closes at the end of the year. The winner will get a 90-day membership of our virtual membership which includes an ideation phone session with Kim and a three-pack set of The Push Journal.

Today’s Topic: Learning to work together

Kim says I have a disease called Open Loop Syndrome. Anyone who has read the book Getting Things Done by Robert Allen will know his system for checking items off your list so they don’t pop up in your brain all the time and stop you from focusing. Kim agrees that this is a good system for managing tasks and helps us to be more productive but says that sometimes we need to sit with bigger decisions for a while so we can properly think them through. I do have a tendency to miss some steps in a task because I’m determined to get it off my plate.

We’re always looking to take working together, living together, playing together, having a family together and building businesses together to the next level. But we're two different people with two different brains and two different astrological signs so that means that we have to come up with ways of working that suit us both. We don't try to make each other feel wrong, even if we passionately disagree with something. We look for solutions to make each other happier.

In this episode we talk about me only sending Kim one email per day so she can take care of any action items without feeling overwhelmed. We also discuss how Kim’s recently changed her Monday morning to prioritize how she needs to start the week. When we have coffee in the morning Kim says it’s a little like a firing squad because I come up with a lot of action items. So she decided she’s skipping coffee with me on Mondays to do yoga, meditation and journaling. We really live our shared life by the motto ‘Your need is my need’. 

I’ve been using The Push Journal for three years but Kim’s just really started with it. She says that when you're building a business, sometimes your list of things to do is so big and overwhelming that you sit down and you do nothing. With the journal she can break massive, overwhelming tasks down into tiny tasks, do three of them in a day, and know that she’s made progress on her goal. We love The Push Journal so much that every member of our virtual mastermind is using it and we’ve also become affiliates for it.

Thanks so much for listening and if you loved this episode, please review the podcast or share with someone you know. See you next week!

A few years ago Kyle Depiesse logged on to the Social Security website and saw that he had earned a little over $1 million. He thought that was funny because he didn’t really have much to show for it. He asked his wife for her social security number and saw that she had earned about the same amount. So together they had about $2 million in lifetime earnings but they were $380,000 in debt. The debt wasn’t crippling, nor was it largely personal debt - most of it was their mortgage. But Kyle felt embarrassed and angry and resolved to tackle their finances differently from that moment on. In 38 months the debt was gone and Kyle and his wife were able to focus on investing for their future.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [4:21] Kyle’s blue-collar upbringing and the beliefs he learnt about money
• [6:56] Choosing new influences to change those beliefs
• [14:23] Cutting up credit cards
• [20:37] Gamifying debt reduction
• [21:55] Screaming ‘We’re debt free!’ on The Dave Ramsey Show
