Having It All - Day 1 — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:05Hello and welcome to day one of
- 0:08Lifebook's 30-day challenge. I'm so
- 0:10happy to have you here with me today. My
- 0:12name is Jon Butcher and I'm founder of
- 0:14Lifebook and I'm going to be your guide
- 0:16on this fascinating, life-changing
- 0:19journey.
- 0:20What we're going to explore over the
- 0:21next 30 days is an incredibly
- 0:23fascinating subject. Having it all.
- 0:26Getting everything you want out of life.
- 0:29Now, this is a subject that I've studied
- 0:30for decades now, literally. I've worked
- 0:32with thousands and thousands of people.
- 0:34I've dedicated myself to understanding
- 0:37everything I possibly can about the
- 0:38subject. It's actually become my purpose
- 0:40in life. And at Lifebook, we've made a
- 0:42science of it. It's a goal that I've
- 0:45achieved in my own life and I've helped
- 0:47many, many people achieve it in their
- 0:49lives.
- 0:50I want to make one thing clear at the
- 0:52very outset and that is that this
- 0:55challenge is for people who are serious
- 0:57about getting what they want out of
- 0:59life. Not just thinking about it or
- 1:01talking about it as so many people are,
- 1:03but actually discovering what it entails
- 1:07and doing what is required to achieve
- 1:09it. So, I'm going to assume that you are
- 1:12one of those people and I'm going to
- 1:13talk to you as if you were with no
- 1:16sugarcoating and no BS. No total honesty
- 1:19and total transparency. Every word I'm
- 1:21going to say to you over the next 30
- 1:22days is going to be precise, very well
- 1:25thought through and important for your
- 1:28progress.
- 1:29I'm going to lay it all right on the
- 1:31line. We're going to talk about the most
- 1:32important principles in the most
- 1:35important area of your life so that you
- 1:37can just go out there and really gain
- 1:39momentum.
- 1:41We're going to look deeply at what
- 1:43having it all means, what having it all
- 1:45looks like and what's required to make
- 1:48it happen. We're going to share secrets
- 1:50with you over this 30-day course. We're
- 1:52going to share best practices in every
- 1:55core area of your life.
- 1:57And we're going to explore how to
- 1:58eliminate the obstacles that are holding
- 2:00you back in these categories and keeping
- 2:02you frustrated and stuck.
- 2:05And then finally, we're going to share
- 2:07powerful exercises with you that are
- 2:09really going to help you move the needle
- 2:11immediately in all the areas of your
- 2:14life simultaneously.
- 2:16Our purpose in creating this 30-day
- 2:18challenge was simple. By the end of it,
- 2:21we want you to have made measurable
- 2:23progress across every important area of
- 2:25your life, which is a big deal because
- 2:27you will have proven to yourself that
- 2:29it's actually possible for you to create
- 2:31an extraordinary life. And from there,
- 2:33you're going to know exactly what you
- 2:35need to do to make it happen. We've
- 2:36worked with a lot of people over the
- 2:37years, a lot of people, and at the end
- 2:39of the day, most people who begin a
- 2:41personal development journey like this
- 2:43want pretty much the same thing. I mean,
- 2:45small details are going to vary, but the
- 2:48fundamental vision seems just about the
- 2:50same for everyone.
- 2:53What we want is an extraordinary life
- 2:56that works at a high level
- 2:58in every important area. Now, at
- 3:01Lifebook, our main objective is to help
- 3:04people figure out their own personal
- 3:07life vision, that big, clear, compelling
- 3:10picture of what they want to have their
- 3:11life be like. And then help them start
- 3:14to create that ideal life step by step.
- 3:18Every life vision that is created is
- 3:20going to be unique to the individual who
- 3:21created it. No two are the same, but
- 3:24they all seem to have one really, really
- 3:26important thing in common. And that is
- 3:29that every well-crafted life vision I've
- 3:32ever seen entails sort of having crossed
- 3:36a threshold to an extraordinary life
- 3:39where the heavy lifting has been done.
- 3:41You know, all that's behind you. The
- 3:43urgency is gone. The stress is gone.
- 3:46You've sort of hit this tipping point
- 3:48where you've got your life figured out
- 3:49at a really deep level. You've thought
- 3:51it through. You've set it up. And
- 3:53there's almost this automatic quality to
- 3:55it. You know, you've got systems and
- 3:57processes in place. And you're enjoying
- 4:00your life without this daily immense
- 4:03energy output that's draining and
- 4:06overwhelming and exhausting.
- 4:09In this world that you want to get to,
- 4:12stress has been replaced with
- 4:14fulfillment.
- 4:16Urgency has been replaced with a little
- 4:18bit of leisure time, you know, a little
- 4:20bit of bandwidth. How many people do you
- 4:22see around you living like that, you
- 4:23know? It's rare. At the end of the day,
- 4:26based on our experience with thousands
- 4:28of people,
- 4:29that is pretty much what every conscious
- 4:33thinking person seems to want. But
- 4:36unfortunately,
- 4:38almost no one achieves a life like this,
- 4:40and most people never will. As a matter
- 4:42of fact, what most of us get is the
- 4:44opposite of that experience. No leisure
- 4:46time. No bandwidth. We're at maximum
- 4:49tension everywhere in our life.
- 4:52Let's admit it. Most of us are
- 4:54overwhelmed and exhausted. We're just on
- 4:57the treadmill of our lives, too busy to
- 5:00just sit down for a moment and really
- 5:03think about what our happiness requires.
- 5:06We know that so much more is possible
- 5:08for us, but we can't quite put our
- 5:11finger on how to get it.
- 5:14And we work so hard,
- 5:16but we just kind of spin our wheels, and
- 5:18we don't seem to get any closer to the
- 5:20life that we really want to be living.
- 5:23And when you're in that mode,
- 5:26you can't even allow yourself to feel
- 5:29how disappointed you are in certain
- 5:31aspects of your life, maybe in your
- 5:33marriage, or in your level of health and
- 5:35fitness, or how unfulfilled you are in
- 5:38your career,
- 5:39or how sick and tired we are of being
- 5:41broke and having to worry about money
- 5:43all the time. Deep down, we all want so
- 5:46much more than we have, but we can't
- 5:48even afford to have thoughts like that.
- 5:50You know, we have to kind of push those
- 5:51feelings down just to make it through
- 5:54the day.
- 5:55And I'll tell you what, that's a
- 5:56tragedy. It's a tragedy because this is
- 5:58our one life. This is our one precious
- 6:01life that we've been given to live to
- 6:03the fullest. And it's incredibly painful
- 6:07when you know that you're not doing
- 6:08that. And I'll tell you from personal
- 6:10experience in working with so many
- 6:12people, I've seen this over and over and
- 6:14over again. This can be especially
- 6:16frustrating and especially maddening
- 6:19when you know, you feel like you've
- 6:20followed all of society's rules. You did
- 6:22everything that was expected of you. You
- 6:24know, you went to school, you studied
- 6:26hard, you got good grades, you got your
- 6:28degree, you got married, you started a
- 6:30family, you bought your house. You did
- 6:32everything that society says that you're
- 6:34supposed to do. You followed the whole
- 6:36formula. So, why don't you feel
- 6:40outrageously successful right now when
- 6:43you did everything right, you know? Why
- 6:45are you overworked? Why are you
- 6:46overstressed? Why are you unfulfilled?
- 6:49Why don't you have it all if you did
- 6:50everything you were supposed to do?
- 6:53And here's the reason. The reason is
- 6:55because the formula doesn't work. The
- 6:58formula doesn't work. The system isn't
- 7:01designed to produce success and
- 7:03happiness and fulfillment. It's designed
- 7:06to produce mediocrity and it leads to
- 7:08failure and frustration.
- 7:12Here's something that you really need to
- 7:13know. This will really, really help. It
- 7:15helped me when I was first struggling
- 7:17with these with these areas. There's
- 7:19nothing wrong with you. You're not to
- 7:22blame for the fact that you've been
- 7:23struggling in these categories and your
- 7:25parents aren't to blame because they
- 7:26didn't teach it to you. It's not their
- 7:28fault and it's not some big conspiracy
- 7:31theory either. The fact is that people
- 7:33just don't know how to do it. They just
- 7:36don't know how to put together a
- 7:38spectacular life. They They know how to
- 7:40have it all. They're too busy in
- 7:42survival mode to take the time to figure
- 7:45out and learn how to thrive in every
- 7:48important area of your life because the
- 7:50world is a crazy chaotic place. It's
- 7:53nuts out there. There's so much
- 7:54instability. There's so much turbulence.
- 7:57There are so many different things
- 7:59pulling us in different directions, so
- 8:01many demands on our time and on our
- 8:03energy. Life can just be overwhelming
- 8:05and exhausting.
- 8:06We don't have time to sit down and
- 8:08figure out how to navigate through all
- 8:09this craziness and get to that ideal
- 8:12life.
- 8:13I mean,
- 8:15how can I be expected to really figure
- 8:18out how to find success and happiness
- 8:20and balance and fulfillment when I'm so
- 8:24busy trying to make this month's house
- 8:26payment?
- 8:28That's why it's so rare that you're ever
- 8:30going to see a person who has it all.
- 8:33And when you do, you should pay
- 8:34attention because you can know you are
- 8:37looking at an accomplishment.
- 8:40It's not an easy task to put together a
- 8:42stellar life in every important area.
- 8:44But I'll tell you this, it is possible.
- 8:46And this is a fact that we've proven
- 8:48over and over again at Lifebook. The
- 8:50skills that are required to
- 8:52simultaneously
- 8:53have great physical and emotional and
- 8:57intellectual and spiritual health,
- 9:00a great love relationship, to be a
- 9:02fantastic parent, to have quality
- 9:04friendships, to build a great career
- 9:07that leads to financial abundance, and
- 9:09be surrounded by fantastic things and
- 9:12create great experiences for yourself,
- 9:14to develop all those skills
- 9:16simultaneously
- 9:18is almost unheard of, it almost never
- 9:21happens, but it absolutely is possible
- 9:25and it absolutely can happen for you.
- 9:29I'm telling you right now,
- 9:31a life like that is there for you, not
- 9:34just for some of of chosen few who have
- 9:36special abilities, it's there for you.
- 9:39There's a system for doing it,
- 9:41and you're going to see that by the end
- 9:42of this 30-day challenge, and it's going
- 9:44to make sense to you, and you're going
- 9:45to absolutely understand that having it
- 9:48all is a serious possibility for you. It
- 9:51is within your grasp.
- 9:54That is the main objective that we have
- 9:56for you for this 30-day challenge.
- 10:00See, most people think that having an
- 10:03extraordinary life is simply not
- 10:05realistic. It's either impossible, you
- 10:08know, some sort of a fantasy or a pipe
- 10:10dream,
- 10:11or even if it was possible, I'm just not
- 10:13going to be able to get it done because
- 10:14it's going to be too much work for me.
- 10:15I'm not going to be able to execute.
- 10:17So, we're going to show you over the
- 10:19next 30 days just how easy it is to
- 10:22start making significant progress toward
- 10:24your ideal life once you shift into the
- 10:27right mindset and start building
- 10:29momentum, you will move closer to having
- 10:32it all. All you've got to do is watch a
- 10:35short video every day over the next 30
- 10:37days and then do the exercises we ask
- 10:40you to do, and at the end of the 30
- 10:42days, you're not only going to be living
- 10:44a different life than you are right now,
- 10:46a better life,
- 10:48but you're going to know with certainty
- 10:50that having it all is possible for you,
- 10:52and that's the big win. You're going to
- 10:54know with certainty that your dream life
- 10:56can be won if you're willing to fight
- 10:59for it. If you discover specifically
- 11:03what your happiness and your unique
- 11:05fulfillment require, and then focus on
- 11:08it single-mindedly,
- 11:10you can wrap your mind around this crazy
- 11:13thing called life,
- 11:15and you can have it all.
- 11:17Listen, the question is not whether or
- 11:19not you can achieve the life you've
- 11:22always wanted to live. It's whether or
- 11:24not you will.
- 11:25And that is a decision.
- 11:28When it comes to this challenge really
- 11:30working for you, really helping you
- 11:32create the extraordinary life that you
- 11:33want to be living? Your biggest concern
- 11:35should not be your intelligence, it
- 11:37should not be your ability, or even your
- 11:40ambition.
- 11:41It's your commitment. You are the only
- 11:44person that can really absorb the
- 11:47information that you're going to be
- 11:48learning here and then implement the
- 11:50exercises into your life. We can show
- 11:52you how to do it, but we obviously can't
- 11:54do it for you. Now, we're going to be
- 11:56here to support you every step of the
- 11:58way. We're going to be here to
- 11:59supercharge your efforts, but you are
- 12:02the only person who can make this work.
- 12:05This 30-day challenge is about the
- 12:07exercises. It is a doing program. The
- 12:11exercises build on each other every
- 12:13single day that you do them, and the
- 12:15momentum that you create from doing them
- 12:17over and over and over is the catalyst.
- 12:20That's sort of like the active
- 12:21ingredient that really moves the needle
- 12:23here. I'm going to be perfectly honest
- 12:25with you right now. There's no point in
- 12:28even doing this 30-day challenge if
- 12:30you're not going to do the exercises.
- 12:32I want to say that again. No point in
- 12:34doing the challenge if you're not
- 12:36planning to if you're not committed to
- 12:38doing the exercises. You're going to get
- 12:40some good information, you know, you'll
- 12:42get some good knowledge, but I promise
- 12:44you, you won't get the benefit that you
- 12:46signed up for.
- 12:48And your commitment is the key to
- 12:51getting that benefit. And we figure that
- 12:53your commitment's going to be about 20
- 12:55to 30 minutes a day. You got to log in
- 12:57every day and watch the video. Video's
- 13:00about 15 minutes, and then you just set
- 13:02aside another 10 or 15 minutes to do the
- 13:05exercises on days when we ask you to do
- 13:07exercises.
- 13:09And remember, these exercises are about
- 13:12your life. They're not about my life or
- 13:13anybody else's life. They're about your
- 13:15life, and they're awesome.
- 13:16Your success with this challenge is
- 13:19going to come down to the quality of
- 13:20your commitment to doing these
- 13:22exercises, and I think you're going to
- 13:23be excited about it cuz you're going to
- 13:25be seeing your life move forward.
- 13:27So, from this day forward, you just got
- 13:29to commit a few minutes a day to
- 13:31complete the exercises, watch the
- 13:33videos, and it's going to be well worth
- 13:36it because it's going to be powerful for
- 13:37you.
- 13:39So, that being said, let's move on to
- 13:41the first exercise of our 30-day
- 13:43challenge.
- 13:45Today, we're going to have you commit
- 13:47the time you need to do this 30-day
- 13:49challenge, and then we're going to have
- 13:51you find the time in your day for that
- 13:53commitment by creating what we call a
- 13:56stop doing list. Now, this exercise is a
- 14:00classic Lifebook exercise. It's super
- 14:03enlightening, it's really empowering,
- 14:05and it's fun.
- 14:07So, here's how it works.
- 14:09Step one is we want you to commit the
- 14:11time.
- 14:13Thomas Edison, arguably one of the
- 14:15busiest guys who's ever lived, said,
- 14:18"There is time enough for everything."
- 14:20And this is from a guy that was awarded
- 14:22over a thousand patents by the US Patent
- 14:25Office. He was busy, and he said, "There
- 14:27is time enough for everything."
- 14:30The time commitment that this challenge
- 14:32requires is about 20 to 30 minutes a day
- 14:35total. Videos are about 15 minutes,
- 14:38exercises are about 15 minutes. They
- 14:39vary, but that's that's about it. So,
- 14:41step one of today's exercise is to
- 14:44decide when you're going to do the work,
- 14:47when you're going to commit that 20 to
- 14:4830 minutes of time every day, and while
- 14:50you're at it, we want you to decide
- 14:52where you're going to do these
- 14:53exercises, too.
- 14:55Is there a secluded place that you can
- 14:56go where you can just completely get
- 14:58away from the world, and so this is like
- 15:00sacred time to do this work? Like maybe
- 15:03you're going to go solo to a coffee shop
- 15:05and have a date with you and your 30-day
- 15:07challenge. Or maybe you can go into your
- 15:10office and lock the door and take the
- 15:11phone off the hook and whatever, just
- 15:13completely disconnect from the world.
- 15:15Decide when you're going to do them
- 15:17every day, decide where you're going to
- 15:19do this program. Your commitment to
- 15:21yourself should look something like
- 15:23this.
- 15:24I'm absolutely committed to spending 20
- 15:27minutes per day on the Lifebook
- 15:29Challenge for the next 30 days, period.
- 15:32The time I'm going to allot is from 7:00
- 15:34in the morning to 7:30 in the morning
- 15:37every day alone in my office without my
- 15:40cell phone to bother me.
- 15:42That's kind of how your commitment
- 15:43should look. Be very specific about it.
- 15:46Next, we're going to have you do
- 15:47something really awesome. This is so
- 15:49powerful. I've done this probably five
- 15:51or six times in my life and it's
- 15:52incredibly effective. We want you to
- 15:54create a stop doing list.
- 15:58Because we want you to pick up at least
- 16:00a half hour a day to do this program, if
- 16:02not more time we want to free up in your
- 16:04week. So, here's how you do it.
- 16:07Take a look at how you spend your time
- 16:08in a typical week. Really be honest with
- 16:11yourself cuz you're probably not going
- 16:12to like some of what you see. Bring some
- 16:14awareness to your daily activities. And
- 16:18what you want to do is you want to
- 16:19assess whether or not these daily
- 16:21activities are pushing your life
- 16:23forward.
- 16:24So, what you want to ask yourself is
- 16:25this.
- 16:26What can I get rid of? How can I pick up
- 16:29at least a half hour a day of extra free
- 16:32time? Can I cut out a half hour of email
- 16:35a day?
- 16:37Maybe a half hour of TV? Some computer
- 16:39time? So, your stop doing list might
- 16:42look something like this.
- 16:44I will stop hitting the snooze button
- 16:47four times every morning.
- 16:49I will stop checking my email 20 times a
- 16:52day and instead I'm going to be
- 16:55disciplined and check it three times a
- 16:57day.
- 16:58I will stop being distracted by social
- 17:01media when I'm supposed to be working.
- 17:03I'm just not going to go on those sites
- 17:05anymore during business hours.
- 17:08Creating your stop doing list could be
- 17:11one of the most freeing, empowering
- 17:13things that you have ever done. I think
- 17:16it's going to be. It's going to open up
- 17:17time for you to work on yourself and
- 17:20your life during the course of this
- 17:22challenge and that's valuable.
- 17:25And you know what? While you're at it,
- 17:27why not cut out like a full hour a day
- 17:30of unimportant stuff so you can have a
- 17:31half hour for this challenge and a half
- 17:33hour just for you to do whatever you
- 17:36want with as our gift. Carl Sandburg
- 17:39said, "Time is the coin of life. It's
- 17:43the only coin you have and only you can
- 17:46determine how it will be spent."
- 17:49So, that's your mission for today.
- 17:51Commit the time and find the time to do
- 17:55this 30-day challenge.
- 17:57So, as soon as this video is complete,
- 17:59get into tribe and post your commitment
- 18:02to the community, which is going to help
- 18:03you sort of wrap accountability around
