Breed Success

Count money, man.

Money, man.

Stacked riches.

I'm trying to told him.

I'm a beast.

What's up gang?

Welcome back to another episode of The Grindcast.

Get ready.

It's a new day.

Breathe success.

Let's breathe some success out here.

Success does not exist without failure.

Success does not exist without failure.

And consistency is where you start to breathe success.

To breathe it is to be consistent.

But to have success is to be able to go through failure.

And so there's the two parts to that.

Is the failure and the consistency.

And so I think part of it is having realistic expectations

that you're going to succeed but you're going to fail.

And so I think people sometimes divide those things but they kind of go hand in hand.

That the only way we're going to win, the only way we're going to reach that long term successes

that we're going to have moments of failure.

And whether it shows up on a winning loss record or it doesn't show up in the winning loss record.

There's these private moments.

There's these moments of failure and struggle that all champions and people that make it to levels of success.

That there's all these levels of failure and struggle that people don't see before you see the success.

And so I think you just got to understand and expect that there's going to be these moments of success.

And so I think that there's a lot of failure.

And you're going to be able to have to take the Ls with the Ws.

You can't win if you can't handle a loss.

And believe me, you don't want to lose.

Nobody wants to lose.

But there's going to be lessons to those perceived losses that bring you more victories in life.

And the person that is 50 and 0 in the in the column of wins and losses, they have a zero for losses.

But they have all those wins because of how many losses that they overcame.

Private losses during practice losses and failures and all these setbacks, things that they've over.

These are losses and setbacks and lessons that got them those Ws.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn it's a win or it's a lesson.

And so it's is that old quote by Thomas Edison, we wouldn't have no light.

Thomas Edison, I have not failed.

I just found 10,000 ways that won't work because they said it took them over 10,000 tries to create the light bulb.

And so imagine if he had all these other inventions, all these other things that failed on the 10th time, if he would have quit, what would have happened.

He said he didn't fail. I have not failed. I just found all these different ways that didn't work in the process of finding the way that works.

Sometimes you got to go through perceived failure in order to find the way that works.

And so it's what you do after the failure that defines you.

It's how you handle the failure that defines you resilience is the muscle that you build by lifting the weight of failure.

Right. So you build muscle, you know, people, people want to get in shape.

People talk about that muscle. I can't tell you how many people I know that got big jack muscles, but inside their week mentally their week.

Internally, they're weak because they haven't learned to build up that muscle resilience. That's, that's, that's the muscle that you build by lifting the weight of failure.

And you can't really grow without having resilience.

So that failure just creates growth depending on how you handle it.

And if you're not growing, guess what? They say you're either growing or you're dying.

You're either growing or you're dying. If we're going to grow.

Failure is some of the stuff that creates growth.

And the true failure is just not growing at all.

And I think that's what happens is sometimes people they quit chasing their dreams or they quit. They stay stagnant. They get stagnant because of failure.

They haven't developed the relationship with failure that builds them and takes them to the next level.

They have a relationship with failure that makes them quit because they think that's what's supposed to stop them.

But you got to understand if it was easy, everybody will be doing it.

Failure is the stepping stone at times. So, so it's like, how do I evaluate this failure?

Grow from this failure. Practice and learn from this failure.

It was it was Winston Churchill. I know last year we had an opportunity to go to London and I was so excited we went, we went to go look at the Winston Churchill war rooms.

And it was talking about, you know, this is where he was at when all the bombs were going off during World War.

And while they were getting bombed, I mean Winston Churchill is known as one of those great leaders that has led through adversity.

And he said that success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.

Hear that again.

Many of you have probably heard this quote before so don't let it go in one ear now the other really let it digest right now.

Winston Churchill now this ain't a guy that was just chilling in the couch somewhere with no adversity and obstacle.

This is somebody that led in the brink of a week and probably lose the whole country here.

And we're getting bombed. And I'm hiding and I got to lead people through we're losing.

He says success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.

I think that that's the difference between the people that win and the people that don't win is that the successful people go from failure to failure and they keep focused.

They keep the vision they keep the enthusiasm.

Other people go from failure to a couple failures to losing the enthusiasm to quitting.

And that's Winston Churchill said success is going from failure to failure without losing motivation.

People want the success without the failure.

Your whole life you're going to have to be able to handle success and handle failure if you're going to continue to climb the stairs of greatness.

So success doesn't exist without the failure.

And the consistency is what's going to continue to multiply and breed that success.

So once we start to get that relationship and mindset right with the failure piece now it's like can we get consistent?

Can we work consistently?

Consistency is what keeps you going through the failures because you're consistent with the process that you're inconsistent with chasing whatever it is that I'm chasing without being too emotionally tied to the result.

I'm just going to be consistent.

And if you're consistent enough in the process typically you're going to have a bunch of success.

Consistency is about habits and you know the term that they say habits form your life shape your future.

The test of greatness and the hallmark of excellence is consistency.

The test of greatness and the hallmark of excellence is consistency.

It's great you got to be consistent. That's the that's the test of greatness.

Let me test you the pet you think about a test the test of greatness so the test if you want to pass the test to greatness is being consistent consistency means it doesn't end.

There's no destination that we're looking at is just we just keep going we just rinse and repeat we're consistent.

This is what we do. And so when you're consistent you allow compounding interest to work for you.

So I had an opportunity this morning to have breakfast with the awesome young lady that I've had an opportunity to to watch grow into an adult.

She's 18 and I was showing her about compounding interest.

I said look if you just save a thousand dollars a month.

That's it by the time you're my age you'd have over a million dollars just earning 10% interest on that money.

Think about that. I'm talking about a thousand a month.

This is like doing a normal she could do her normal job normal routine save a thousand a month by the time your my age you'll have liquid over a million dollars because of compounding interest.

It doesn't seem like a lot.

Okay so let's let's just for the sake of of averages let's say she was 20 and I'm 40 which is a little bit younger and I'm a little bit older but let's say 20 to 40 right so you got 20 years.

A thousand a month that's 12,000 times 10 years is 120 times 20 years is 240 so let's say basically she would have put she would have she would have set a quarter million aside.

But what it had over a million.

That's compounding interest that's what success in the process of consistency does is if you just keep putting in a little bit consistently.

You're going to quadruple up consistency is showing up when you're not motivated that's that that's really really that is the key to success because the test of greatness.

Is consistency well the key to consistency is it's easy to be consistent when the sun is shining and you got a good night sleep last night there's no drama in your personal life.

But when it's raining outside and you got drama in your personal life and maybe you didn't get the best sleep.

Are you consistent then with your effort with your attitude with the process with the system with the consistency of everything that needs to happen.

You start to separate yourself is can I let this compounding interest work on my behalf if I just keep showing up keep showing up keep showing up doing the process with a positive attitude if I'm consistent with doing the work.

Can I do it when I'm not motivated.

You're not always going to be motivated.

That's for kids.

Adults you got to motivate yourself to be a professional you got to motivate yourself. That's why Ziegler they said they told him motivation doesn't last he said that's why we recommended daily like bathing.

Showers don't last either but you got to bathe every day.

You might not be motivated every day you got to try to motivate yourself every day try to listen to positive things have your vision in front of you do things that inspire you.

You're going to have to find ways to motivate yourself when you're not motivated and even when you're not motivated this don't have nothing to do with being motivated.

It's just doing the work you ever think about people like you know we got the pleasure here of working with sometimes we've had an opportunity to work with the mine workers.

We've had an opportunity to work some of my friends work on the railroads.

I have to imagine sometimes being digging holes and being deep down in holes with dirt around you you can't be every day waking up perfect I'm excited.

Working on a railroad but maybe sometimes maybe not all the time I know I drive past people sometimes in the winter and they're working on the street outside.

And they're fixing the road or they're drilling a hole in the road and it's like 35 degrees 30 degrees outside they can't be like man I'm fired up today motivated.

Sometimes you got to do what you got to do to take care of your family sometimes you got to do what you got to do to take care of your dream because you're not always going to be motivated to do what is required sometimes the outcome you'll love some of the things that you'll that you'll love about what you do but there's going to be things in the process.

That you're not going to love for example you may love being an athlete but you don't love running hills up and down hills when you can't breathe in the heat in the summer.

What that's part of the process you might need to do in conditioning well you're doing what you love but really that part of the process you don't love is the things in the consistency of the work of the job.

That you got to show up in when you're not motivated that's going to take you to the next level motivation fluctuates but you being consistent creates change so we got to be able to deliver we got to be able to be consistent with the process and everything that we got to do.

When we ain't motivated so what I would what I would say is like write down some things in your process or whatever it is that you do.

That you know right now for where you're at what are some things you got to be consistent with how many times a week how many times a day what is it what is it what do you got to be consistent with.

Write it down some power for about writing it down write it down and look at it every day and make a commitment that you're going to be consistent in those areas and watch what happens over the next eight weeks.
