Grant Cardone suggests that you have 10x goals and that those will compel you to achieve great things. In the book the 10x rule by Grant Cardone he suggests that setting goals high enough will motivate you to get the things you want. However big goals alone are not enough. There needs to be massive action and a definite purpose for proper goal achievement. In the book by James clear called atomic habits there is an idea discussed about The goal is not the determiner that will get you what you want It is something called systems. couple this with a clear definite purpose a system and a goal then achievement is possible only after something very difficult or a trial will all of this effort come into existence.

I was a mechanic and I didn't like it cuz I was just inside of a the back of a shop fixing cars and there was no human interaction and honestly driving me nuts and so I finally got a radio and I turned it on I was like okay to hear something else rather than inside my brain which inside my brain was my own brain sometimes and bosses like now you can't have radio cuz it's distracting and I'm not going home man so ultimately I didn't stay at that job cuz it was just so monotonous and then I took a job with my brother and he's like hey I really need your help and my brother at the time is doing electrical and I was like all right whatever what do you need help up and he says I'm I'm scared enough and I can do the job and I can do anything but I can't talk to people and I thought well that's silly I mean why can't you talk to people and I didn't realize that this is something that people struggle with and since I didn't know this is something that people struggle with I didn't think that I should struggle with it I was just thought well this is great I just I'll deal with it I'll handle it so we go to jobs and we need to meet with people I would do all of the talking and I do know how to say I didn't know but he knew but I knew that he was there and we could answer the questions if I needed to and I did all of the talking to the customers he did all of the working with the customers and so when I learned some valuable lessons there I learned really quickly how to identify a like a level playing field or like a like a an equalizer or like a body language so I learned quickly what someone was saying without saying it the way they were standing told me what they wanted to say to me the way their eyes would would look at me or wouldn't look at me the way they hold their hands or where they touch their what their hands would touch if they so a woman with a woman grabbed her elbow and touched her the little notch below her ear I could tell she was uncomfortable you know if if their feet started to turn away from me and I pointed away for me I knew they were done talking to me and I could quickly wrap the conversation up so and these were and I didn't realize this was body language I didn't know I was learning that I just thought I was just I thought it was just you know talking with people and picking out ways that I could talk to them more efficiently and so I enjoy these techniques and then I later on in my life I got books about it and I realized that this was a lot of talent I was picking up my kids was just asking you the other day how do you just talked about people and it's easy because my role is if you look at me that means you're going to talk to me now that might not be true but I I use it and I also use something else I use artwork to start a conversation and you're like no what the heck doesn't you know people aren't wearing artwork how do you how do you do that and when someone's house they don't have artwork it's like you know what if they don't have it what they do everybody has artwork everybody wants what they're doing or what they had on their walls artwork doesn't necessarily mean minutes you know drawings and paintings and stuff but maybe it is maybe they have tattoos well they they mean something to that person otherwise they wouldn't permanently put them on your skin simple conversations implements that's an easy easy easy icebreaker to talk about them in fact everybody your conversation conversation conversation and that's not a word anyways every bit of that comes from just identifying with those people and common ground and I always use their ground as common when I just join them on their ground their ground is that tattoo I just join them in that tattoo bring it up say hey that's an interesting tattoo where did you get it and what's the story there's a story okay of course there's a story who's always a story and if you can see it you may want to tell you the story on the walls in our house.

me asking the questions anytime did ask a question and answer quickly and quickly get the conversation back over to that person and the reason being is for two things well for one he's chosen I'm listening because I'm I'm listening to what they're saying and then I follow up questions and then follow up question I got this one guy going for like 2 hours and I never once said anything about myself I just let him talk and I think my own opinion I think that makes you more influential to people because with either students two reason that you should treat for it first it's actually the backup I think every

WHAT ARE YOU PROUD OF........... because it's just it's the way I've always learned I've learned through myself but you don't I wanted to kind of go back to what the friends say you know why they fail why they can't do things and I always say you know look at the things why you can succeed instead of looking at why you fail look at why you succeed that's let's think about some of your successes before you think about all of the negatives and there's so many negative sure there's lots of negatives and everybody's life but there's also lots of positive still so I mean you could always say that bad things happen or I never passed my test drive I never do this any of that but you.

Whenever you start out on an adventure to get something done it's always around the 2-mile mark or the proverbial sticking point when people jump ship. In a marriage this is around 6 years. In any business adventure it's right when you have to learn something new. In learning any new skill it's right when it gets difficult. In any direct sales type business it is when you have to talk to a new client new customer or make a business presentation. There are all types of moments when the 2-mile mark shows up. In this podcast I go over the exact 2-mile mark when a jogging expedition becomes difficult for me it's at 2 mi and I discuss how getting past the 2 mi makes it easily attainable to get to whatever amount that I choose to get to.

jump in the pool and see if you can swim or get out of the boat I mean you know since it's simple You never know if you can do it until you try In fact just tonight just 40 minutes ago I just did something that I've never done before because I wanted to see if I could do it and I just jogged I just jogged for as long as I possibly could and actually I thought it could have kept on going I thought to that point I'd only ever done two miles but tonight and that wasn't like a long time ago I mean I'm just haven't really been joking I just wanted to push myself to see what I could do right now and I just did 4.1 mi That's huge for me I mean it's it's massive so what I wanted to talk about about the ideas so my point to all that driving stuff was basically you know you never know what you're doing to try And so I came up with this idea out of necessity yeah I just showed the whole idea I don't it's not a like an idea that doesn't exist it already exists it's just a better mousetrap and it's really that's the better way to look at things it doesn't have to be unique brand new it just needs to be better than what it was before so my wife had her tonsils taken out and was in the dark that's an absolute disgusting world of thing to do so whatever did you ever think about getting your doctors taken I just want to keep them in deal with whatever you get strep throat and whatever possible I just keep them No no take them out I'm just kidding because that was a joke bad joke the whole thing I had to take 10 days off of work and I stayed home with kids and I got the kids on the bus and off the bus and no dinner and no breakfast made lunch and just everything which you know she does what I had normally so it's a lot but as I'm doing that I had an issue with the bathrooms I mean this bus is terrible I never know when the bus gets here and when the whole thing is they fix the bus the bus is breaks and down getting a little busy little wives cuz it doesn't speak and it gets to my house you know normally when it gets to the to the front of the house because the special needs are the best come straight to my house I can hear the bus stop s and they just have an apparently not as far as like you know what to do so I was talking to my my business partner get a little side business in this way to do build stuff like this and he's like yeah I think we can put something together so we did a little research on it and it turns out there are other you know bus tracking systems out there and they're expensive and just so happens that they don't have one at this company but I mean that this place where we live since I was like you know I've just go for it so we built the application and then I called the bus company and and that was when I just two days ago just decided to take action on it call them up we're working on implementing it right now we currently have the product in place and we're working through some dogs that it's having we haven't actually done live with it yet because it's just having a lot of bugs the problem still exists that there's a need for it they decided there's a need for it so they work for it and now they're having problems which is understandable and so that's the thing that I would never know if that idea would have worked had I not tried I don't want them not called them I would never know that they're having issues normally that they're having issues it's an easy opportunity to photo serve them and so let's that's that's the idea is just to take your ideas and get them out of your head tell people about them like this part is test tell everybody your idea is going to take your idea should we do this should we do that again excuses and a great idea after talking to thisYou're just so cool cuz let me think about this The best thing is a GPS unit in GPS is free it's just global positioning and that part's free but the most expensive part is the servers and those are cheap and then you got an application that you can build an ap
