Wake Up and Level Up

Open up Instagram and you’ll notice a new fad: FAILURE. It’s as if failure is worn as a badge of honor. Except gloating about failure won’t allow you to actually learn anything from it! Even calling it “failure” doesn’t give you the power to make it into something positive. Mario shares how replacing the word failure with LEARNING can help you harness those moments.

It’s called “pattern interrupt” and it’s something Mario used when he was pitching the Never Settle show. Sure it made CEO Nicole cringe, but Mario was able to turn a meeting around and show big wig execs exactly what his show would be using tactics from this scientific trait. Take a listen and learn how you can use this in your own life to enhance your outcomes.

Your “distance traveled” is all about taking a look back at where you started and realize where you’re at today. The distance you had to go through matters! Whether in your relationships or career. It’s the ability for you to take a moment, look at the journey and appreciate how far you’ve come. This is so powerful to keep you moving, especially when you feel like you haven’t gone as far as you want in your journey. Mario explains why this is important to grasp and how to use it as power for your journey ahead. Take a listen.

TRANSCRIPT:

Thursday, it’s time to Wake Up and Level Up. You are smack dab in the Reflection Action Plan week. That means I have given you the opportunity to download for free. As a loyal and or new podcast listener, you get first access to marioarmstrong.com/goals. Go there right now while you’re listening to this episode, marioarmstrong.com/goals to download your reflection action plan. This nine page document is going to set your 2019 on fire each day. This week I’ve been talking a little bit more about the plan, giving you advice on how to fill it out, examples and so on and so forth. Today, I wanna talk a little bit about what happens around pace three through say six, which is really the daily affirmations part, as well as setting the goals to set you up for the next 90 days. Now, daily affirmations or something that you review and that you read every single day to inspire you to keep you on track with your goals and dreams.

If you don’t wake up and know what your affirmations are, it’s very hard to stay consistent with what the goal is. You know, some of the most structured people can maybe do that. They have a very clear vision. They know exactly what they’re getting up to do and they’re very organized in their day and they’re very focused. Not Everybody operates like that. In fact, most people don’t operate like that and they need the daily affirmations, the things that you would review that you need to believe about your potential every single day so that these things over time become fact. When I said I wanted to win an Emmy for the talk show, many people thought I was crazy. We didn’t even have a talk show out. The show wasn’t even recorded and I was already meeting with the team, reviewing the documents and printing out 35 pages of the Emmy submission guidelines because I was affirming it in my mind.

Every day we’re going to build something so special, so great, so valuable that the Academy, that the Emmys, that that judging team that the peers will have to recognize how much we put into this. That was an affirmation. Getting the show to launch. I will launch the Never Settle Show that was an affirmation. I will get a sponsor that was an affirmation. Here are some examples of my affirmations for the next 90 days. According to the reflection action plan, I will connect with more collaborators. I will create more family experiences. I will connect with large distribution and impact for our content. By the way, are you hearing the word connect? Showing up. Remember my word for the year. We talked about this a couple of days ago. I will study harder to connect with audiences and people better. Hello? I will become the best in providing thoughtful advice that creates positive change and connects to other’s lives.

A lot of times around this time of year, people start thinking about their finances or their health, like losing weight or making or saving money better. So you may want to have some affirmations that ...
