Full transcript

1. 0:00Hey Alex, I need your advice,
2. 0:02desperately. 18, medical school. Don't
3. 0:05feel like I belong here. Magnetized
4. 0:08towards entrepreneurship.
5. 0:11>> Okay, then leave, dude.
6. 0:13>> [laughter]
7. 0:14>> I thought there was a question coming.
8. 0:15Leave. Leave. So, I'll ask the question
9. 0:18that you're not really asking, which is
10. 0:19you're afraid of leaving because someone
11. 0:22who's not you will make you feel bad for
12. 0:24it. Because if it were only up to you,
13. 0:26then you would leave.
14. 0:28So, it means that there are other
15. 0:29people's rewards or punishments that are
16. 0:32basically acting as tipping the scale on
17. 0:34your behavior. And so, my way of de-
18. 0:37when I have something that I want and I
19. 0:39am not doing it, I ask myself, who is
20. 0:42influencing my behavior in a way that's
21. 0:43aversive to my goals?
22. 0:45And so, what's really interesting is
23. 0:46that when you feel like you're you feel
24. 0:48this tension where you're like, "Ah,
25. 0:49this can I have conflicting priorities."
26. 0:50Right? It's very normal. Right? I want
27. 0:52to be really healthy. I also want to be
28. 0:54a great dad. I also want to be a great
29. 0:55spouse. I also be good for a community.
30. 0:57I also be good for the environment. I
31. 0:58also want to work on my personal growth.
32. 1:00Right? I'm like,
33. 1:01and I have to do all of that in in 12
34. 1:03hours, right? Or whatever, however many
35. 1:05hours you're awake.
36. 1:07Well, they're conflicting priorities.
37. 1:09I want to do right by me. I want to do
38. 1:11right by my siblings. I want to do right
39. 1:12by my parents. I want to do right by my
40. 1:13friends. And they want different things.
41. 1:16And so, at some point you have to decide
42. 1:18a priority of reinforcers, meaning
43. 1:22you might decide that your family means
44. 1:23more to you than your business, and that
45. 1:25is okay. And you might decide that what
46. 1:27you think about you means more than what
47. 1:28your parents think about you.
48. 1:31If you can get what you think about you
49. 1:33and what your parents think about you to
50. 1:34be aligned, you won't have any
51. 1:35hesitation. But when there's conflict,
52. 1:37one of them has to win.
53. 1:39And I would encourage you to do the one
54. 1:41who's going to be with you the longest,
55. 1:42which is you. If you like this video and
56. 1:44you're business owner who wants to break
