Sometimes the best thing for us as entrepreneurs to do is just do the work... stop putting stuff off and DO. THE. WORK. So in this episode you'll hear me talk about some work that I've finally decided to DO.
==============
Hey everyone, this is Justin Glover and welcome to episode three of whatever we're calling this podcast. All right, again, fun fact about episode number three is that is about twenty ... Well, no, no, it's more like three hours, I was about to say twenty minutes, and that's one thing that you'll learn about is my perception of time is horrible sometimes. It's amazing other times, but terrible at times like this.
As you may hear in the background ... Not sure if you can actually hear that, I paused the recording because I'm actually out walking with my daughter and she is interested in talking to me and having a conversation, so it's going to make this podcast very interesting to record. Anyway this is like three hours after the last episode that I recorded, so this is all the same day.
I got this motivation to start this podcast and from that I pulled over, record episode one, and then I went on with my day. I went out to pick up my wife and daughter, came back to the house. Actually, on the way out to pick them up I recorded episode two, because I was inspired by something that I heard on Russell's "Marketing in Your Car" podcast. Then I came home, took a shower ... Actually, I went out back and I've been ... We're actually starting podcast for Results 513, it's called "Results Radio."
We're going to be launching that in the next little bit. We interviewed Ray Higdon as one of our guests a couple of weeks ago and one of the questions we actually asked on this podcast was what does your day look like. He went into explaining his day, talking about some of the things that he does in the morning and one of them was ... Okay, so I had to turn around for the second time, I'm headed back to the house. I'm going to drop baby off because she is not happy, she's wanting to talk with mom and I.
I'm going to pause this and I will come back out and finish this conversation as soon as I drop her back off at the house. Okay, so I had to pause and actually turn around and take [Kenna 00:02:44] back in. We try to go walk around the block in our neighborhood like daily if we can and sometimes she's really great, sometimes she just sort of sits and chills and looks around and just take in everything. Then other times she prefers to talk and have a conversation.
Usually when she's wanting to talk she's wanting direct and immediate feedback from mama, so mom's actually not with us tonight, her feet were hurting so it was just me and [Kenna 00:03:18] and it's kind of difficult to record the podcast with her wanting her to have a conversation. I have to postpone the conversation with her until I get back.
I'm going to finish up this thought on this podcast, because I was in the shower and actually remembered ... Because we're launching this podcast for Results Radio, I've been going through some trainings and stuff from John Lee Dumas, he's the host of "Entrepreneur on Fire," which is a seven day a week podcast, which sort of inspired the podcast for Results 513. Anyway, we're doing this podcast and last week we're interviewing Ray and he starts telling me about this day, his typical day.
Some of the stuff that he said involves like he would go out back and he would go and get in the hot tub for a little bit and just sort of be grateful for a little bit. Just like some of the things, as he was telling it, and I would recommend that you go and listen to that particular podcast episode, once it's out, I don't know when that would be. It's funny, this one will probably be out way before that one will.
Anyway, just keep ... You can plug in, go to results513.com; sort of keep up to date there. We'll let you know when the podcast does go live. Anyway, one of the things that he said really inspired me and I thought, you know what, I want to do that. I want to start utilizing the hot tub we have in our house. We got one in our backyard the deck is built around. We've got this big deck that's really built up around this hot tub. The thing is we haven't used the hot tub in like a year.
It was really great when we moved in the house; we used it all the time. It was nice, but we just haven't used it in such a long time. The cover is actually getting old, we probably should have replaced the cover like a year ago, but we didn't and so it like holds water and sort of gets like mildewy. We need to get a new cover for it, but I wanted to clean it out and start using it again.
When we got home today from picking my wife up, we ate dinner and just sort of hung out, and I went out ... We've been planting some new grass. Actually Sara's dad came and planted some new grass in different spots that we're trying to grow in the yard. I wanted that and then I thought, you know what, I've been wanting to use the hot tub and really redefine my morning ritual that I go through because I used to have the hot tub as part of that morning ritual, but I don't anymore.
I've been missing that. I've been wanting to do it for a while and then I heard Ray talk about it on his thing, so that pushed me towards it a little bit closer. Then I was listening to one of the "Marketing in Your Car" episodes from Russell, it was earlier today, I guess. I don't know, I've listened to like thirty or thirty-five episodes in the last twenty-four hours probably. Anyway, I was listening to it and he was talking about being happy and make a list of things that you want to be happy and then just go do them.
It was just sort of like giving me permission to go and do it and I thought with all of that stacked up, I've been wanting to do the hot tub and then Ray was talking about it on an interview. Then I heard Russell say just go and do it, I thought, well, hmm, I don't have anything else going on tonight, so why don't I start cleaning it out. I went ahead and just made the decision that that's what I'm going to do and so I've started cleaning this hot tub.
It's dark now, I didn't get finished. However, afterwards I went in, I was taking a shower and I had this really, really great idea. This evening, this day, has been really productive for me, but I haven't really worked that much. Like I haven't really done a whole lot. I mean I've recorded the first three episodes of this new podcast.
Back to what I was saying earlier, I'm not sure if I actually finished this thought or not, but we're launching this podcast for Results 513 and I've been going through trainings from John Lee Dumas and I think I remember him saying that it's best to launch with like three episodes or something like that. I am trying to keep some of the things that I've learned and go ahead and implement them from this podcast, from the start.
What I really want you to listen to and pay attention to here is the fact that ... I mean this is day one, like I made the decision literally probably less than five hours ago to do this podcast and here I am three episodes recording and I'm super fired up about it. I want to ... I'm probably going to stay up late after they go to bed, once I get done with this walk I'm going to go in and just sort of hang out with them. [Kenna 00:08:34] will be getting ready to go to bed soon.
I'm very motivated and driven to want to learn how to get these episodes up on iTunes. I don't know what that process is going to look like, but I just want you to really look at sort of how I'm going about this. As I listen to Russell's I can see that he went through a very similar thing. He had this podcast intro, I don't have one yet, but at the beginning he was just sort of talking and didn't really have anyway ... He wasn't giving a call to action or go to comments stuff and then he started doing that.
Then he setup a URL that redirects immediately to it and so he didn't wait until all of that was setup before he did it; he just did it. He just went out and did it and that's what I'm doing as well and I think there's a lot to be learned from that, is just go and do it. It doesn't have to be perfect when you start; you just got to get it going. You don't have to get it perfect. You don't have to get it right. You just have to get it going.
That's what I'm doing and I lived my life like this for a long time, whenever I first started my business and that was one of the things that I got in one of my initial coaching sessions. My original mentors, he had this phrase, "You don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going." I really followed closely to that and then over the years it's been interesting to watch, but that sort of faded away and I got wrapped up in perfectionism and I set this sort of standard for myself and that prevented me from actually putting value out into the world for a long period of time.
It feels really good to get back to that. I've been doing it a lot more recently with Results 513 and with our company there, because I actually shutdown my company that I had that was making good money last year. I shut it down and all I'm focusing on is building the company, Results 513, which I'm probably sure I'm definitely going to be talking in about in the future, I'm sure, at some point here on the show, because I'm just going to be documenting my experience and lessons in business and that's really the only business, not really, it is the only business that I'm building right now.
That's just interesting. I want you to look at sort of the progression of this podcast. I mean we're on episode three, you're probably finding, hopefully you're finding some value in listening to this and enjoying it; just enjoying the format. I know it feels really good for me to get it out and just to talk some of this stuff out. I have no idea if I'm doing it right or I'm sure there's lots of stuff that I could do a lot better, but I'm doing it. I'm doing the work and that feels really good.
I want you to just ask yourself ... Look at your business and say, "Okay, what's something I've been wanting to do and then just go do it, like go ahead and start the work. Don't worry about getting it right. I'm literally recording these things on my iPhone as I'm driving, as I'm walking, as I'm doing these things; just living my life. I just have the audio app open and I'm recording it on there.
I have no idea how I'm going to even get that to the computer, how I'm going to get it to the podcast and iTunes and where you're going to be listening to it, like I don't know any of that stuff, but it doesn't matter right now. That's sort of my message for today or tonight, actually, as I record this. I feel good about today. I've gotten three episodes of this podcast that I didn't even know I was going to start. Now all of a sudden I have three episodes that are done, so that's pretty cool.
I'm definitely excited to see where this podcast goes. If you do like it, like. I don't know if you like podcasts or not. I think there's a like button, I don't know, maybe that's just Facebook, but comment, rate, subscribe. I think that's it, rate, review, that's the other one. Yeah, rate, review, subscribe, whatever. Do all that stuff if you're enjoying it. Leave me some comments, that's great. We'll look forward to seeing you in the next episode, which, who knows when that will actually be recorded, but I'll keep you filled in. Talk soon, bye.
