We’ll Get It Next Week

Count money, man.

Count money, man.

Stacked riches.

I'm trying to told him, I'm a beast, but...

What's up, gang?

Welcome back to another episode of The Grindcast.

Get ready.

It's a new day.

We're going to get it now, not next week, because what we're going to talk about is that we'll

get it next week, attitude, or we'll get it next month, attitude.

People always want to say, we'll get it next time.

We'll get it next month.

And I really appreciate the positivity.

There's times where you do have to say, we'll get it next month.

We'll get it next week.

But it can't be constantly.

I saw a post from Ed Mylett recently, and it said, procrastination is a thief and fear

is a liar.

And so bottom line is, most people don't succeed because they're chronic procrastinators.

They don't lose because they didn't get a break or they didn't run into an opportunity

or whatever it is.

It's not that they're not talented enough.

They lose because they're constantly putting things off that they're afraid of, or they're

delaying the work and they delay.

And they delay.

And they delay until it's too late to take action.

And then they start to develop the habit of not taking immediate massive action in that

moment.

I'm going to get it done right now, person.

Anybody that is around me knows that, man, I'm trying to get it done right then and

there as much as I possibly can.

I don't want this list just stacking up.

Let's get it done right now.

Not procrastinating like Nike, the Nike sign to check, just do it, right?

Just do it.

And so I think the attitude that stops people from building the momentum in their life

that they want to build in their life, is that they're lacking a sense of urgency.

And they're so welcoming to this feeling of procrastination that they get comfortable

with it because in order to create momentum, you know, in Maxwell, John Maxwell's books,

he talks about man, when you got momentum, it makes everybody and everything look a lot

better than they are.

And when you don't got momentum, it makes everything look a lot worse than it is.

You ever seen sporting events or teams that are like, man, she's on fire.

He's on fire.

They can't miss.

That's that's momentum.

And so in order to create momentum, you got to have a sense of urgency.

The urgency that says, nah, we're getting it done this week.

This is my commitment this month.

This is my, this is my commitment to the process.

I'm going to train this many days a week or I'm going to do this.

I'm going to do that.

Whatever is in your control, you make that commitment this month and the urgency that

it takes to get it done, stick to your words, stick to your commitment.

Not enough people are committed to their commitments.

They just make these Lucy Goosey commitments.

You make a commitment and then I'm going to operate with a sense of urgency which can put

pressure on you.

Of oh crap, I got to get it done by Monday.

I'm going to get it next week.

But that urgency means oh crap, I got to work Saturday and Sunday because I promise I was

going to get this done by Monday.

So now all of a sudden that urgency builds pressure that I got to get it done right now.

And I think people are avoiding that pressure.

But you've heard the term that pressure makes diamonds.

No pressure, no diamonds.

No pressure, no championships.

When you see people perform under pressure, it's not that they perform without pressure.

They've just learned how to have a better relationship with that pressure, how to digest

that pressure and to keep themselves even keel on the surface and where they need to be

mentally, spiritually the best they can.

But trust and believe anybody at a high level was operating a lot of times on a high level

of pressure.

And so you might as well start getting used to it right now by setting urgency in your

life of I'm going to commit to this this month and I'm going to do it.

Whatever it takes this week, I'm going to do it.

No, whatever it takes, I'll have it done by this deadline.

This is what I'm going to do, whatever it takes by this date, whatever that urgency, that

energy, that pressure, that stress, that feeling, that whatever, that is what it takes

to start to build momentum.

And then when you build momentum, things get a lot easier.

And so I think sometimes people are avoiding that urgency because of the amount of work

and all that stuff that it takes to get it all done right now.

We know it's a lot of work, but that urgency is what you need to create momentum and to

get that urgency, you got to put in the work now like it's the end of the week, like it's

the end of the month, like it's the end of your lifetime.

The is what's going to help you create that momentum.

In John Maxwell's 21 laws of leadership, he has, I think it was number 16, the law of

the big Moe.

And he said, momentum is hard to start, but it's easy to maintain.

And so the way I would picture that, like, man, picture in some of you are lucky, you're

in the sunshine state or you're listening to me where it's warm and do, but here it

snows.

And so when it snows, sometimes your car gets stuck in the snow.

And so when your car gets stuck in the snow, sometimes you got to have somebody in the

driver's seat and they hit the gas and then they reverse it.

Then they hit the gas and they reverse it or they put it in neutral and you rock it and

you push it and it comes back.

You push it and it comes back.

You push it and it comes back.

Then all of a sudden you push and the thing and the tires start going and we're out of

there.

That's momentum.

Momentum, it's hard to start.

We could be rocking this sucker back and forth, working real hard.

And then all of a sudden you push it and then it's easy to maintain the gas pedal is

going.

Momentum is a change agent and it's the most potent change agent.

If you want to make a change, we got to create momentum.

If we're going to create momentum, we're going to have to have a little bit of urgency.

And momentum makes people perform better than they are, like I mentioned.

And in leadership, momentum is the leader's responsibility to create.

And momentum solves 80% of your problems is what John Maxwell says.

And so this week, right, because the only way to control the month is to control week

by week.

And the only way to control the week is to control the day.

And so what we got to do right now is you got to have a sense of urgency on what you're

trying to accomplish this week.

What does that mean that you got to do today?

And let's go extreme with it.

Let's go perform with energy, excitement, enthusiasm, and urgency this week in order

to be great.

Let's put no more.

What have you been procrastinating on?

What are those things you know you need to get done that you haven't been doing?

Let's get those things done.

Let's take that off your plate.

And has your attitude with your commitments been casual or has it been committed?

Has your attitude with your commitments been a committed attitude to that commitment?

Are you committed to the commitment or has it been, I'm casual with that commitment?

And let's get, let's get ourself aligned with being committed to whatever our commitment

was this month, this week.

And let's do it with urgency.

And we'll be one step closer to building the momentum that's necessary to go to the level

that you want to go to.

All right.

As always, we appreciate your time.

As always, if there's anybody that you know that can benefit from this message, would

you take just a second out, forward it over to them.

Don't be afraid to share this with people that we can impact and try to change our piece

of the world.

So as always, we appreciate you.

Thanks for joining us on another episode of The Grindcast.

Get ready.

It's a new day.
