1. 0:00Before it.
2. 0:01>> curious since your conversation with
3. 0:02Tony Robbins, what's one if if you have
4. 0:04one, what's one behavior that you've
5. 0:05changed in your own life since that
6. 0:08talk?
7. 0:08>> I would say that the the big goal that I
8. 0:10set at the end is something that I my
9. 0:11behavior is already been aligned with
10. 0:12for a long time.
11. 0:14Um, but I
12. 0:16thought three things that I think it was
13. 0:18missing. So, one is that I have to have
14. 0:21a way to measure it. Not saying, "Oh,
15. 0:22100,000 guys or whatever." That's
16. 0:24obvious, but more like uh how do you
17. 0:25know you've succeeded? So, for example,
18. 0:28with Tony's goal, he talks about feeding
19. 0:29X amount of people, but he measures that
20. 0:31in I have delivered this food. Very easy
21. 0:33to quantify. Much more difficult for me
22. 0:35to have a guy text me and say, "I now
23. 0:38have $100,000 in my bank account." And
24. 0:39so, I've been thinking through ways to
25. 0:42have a feedback loop from that
26. 0:43perspective. Now, obviously, school we
27. 0:44can see people's revenue, so I do have a
28. 0:46component of that that's there.
29. 0:47That's one. The second was how can I um
30. 0:51and I and I think I asked this on the on
31. 0:53the pod and I and he gave some some
32. 0:55answer around it, but was um how can I
33. 0:57increase my emotional tie to the
34. 0:59outcome? Right now, I have my my own
35. 1:02history of like I remember going from
36. 1:04zero to $100,000 and that being the most
37. 1:05significant moment for me. I still to
38. 1:07this day I've never felt richer than I
39. 1:08did in that moment. Um and so, it's like
40. 1:11I would like to deliver to deliver that
41. 1:12moment for a lot of guys cuz I think
42. 1:14that's, you know,
43. 1:15good. Um
44. 1:18but trying to machine that in a way and
45. 1:20I I don't actually have an answer for
46. 1:22this, but my my stated objective is that
47. 1:25I would like to figure out more ways to
48. 1:26drive an emotional connection to the
49. 1:28outcome. Right? I mean, a handful of you
50. 1:30guys have already come up today being
51. 1:31like, "Hey, um you know,
52. 1:34I'm in from Hungary
53. 1:36um was like, 'Hey, uh I watched your
54. 1:37stuff and it changed my life and I've
55. 1:39now been able to make an income and it's
56. 1:41like everything's awesome.' Um and
57. 1:44I don't know how that mixes with the
58. 1:46hedonic adaptation wheel. I don't know.
59. 1:49He seems to be okay with it or he says
60. 1:52he is. And that he feels every one of
61. 1:54them. I don't know. I'm not inside of
62. 1:55Tony.
63. 1:56Um that sounded worse than I thought it
64. 1:58did.
65. 1:59>> What the [ __ ] is a hedonic adaptation
66. 2:02curve?
67. 2:02>> If you do anything like you get used to
68. 2:04anything. You adapt.
69. 2:05>> Okay. Okay.
70. 2:06>> Yeah, a hedonist is like like like
71. 2:08pleasure and if you do enough of a
72. 2:09pleasurable thing eventually get used to
73. 2:10it and stops being cool. If you have a
74. 2:12five-star dinner once a month it's
75. 2:13important. If you do it every night it
76. 2:14stops being interesting. You adapt.
77. 2:16>> I see. Okay. So getting bored kind of.
78. 2:18>> Yeah.
79. 2:18>> Yeah.
80. 2:19>> Like the stimulus basically stops being
81. 2:21>> Mhm.
82. 2:21>> a big a big peak, right?
83. 2:23>> Got it.
84. 2:23>> So I don't know the answer to that one.
85. 2:25But that's the second thing that I think
86. 2:26was missing.
87. 2:28And then the third and this is just
88. 2:30something that I discovered with the
89. 2:31launch is that I'm the most motivated
90. 2:33and I don't really lack motivation, but
91. 2:35the the thing where I feel like the
92. 2:37whole team was motivated too was when
93. 2:40there was big stakes.
94. 2:42Right? So when everybody knew internally
95. 2:44that we were trying to do a hundred
96. 2:45million dollar launch and do it in the
97. 2:46weekend and break the record there was
98. 2:48just this very there's just this huge
99. 2:50amount of energy towards that goal. Now
100. 2:52you can't do that forever cuz you unlock
101. 2:53discretionary effort past a certain
102. 2:54point people do. experience burnout. And
103. 2:56so it has to be waxes and wanes. You
104. 2:57have to you know, ramp up and then kind
105. 2:58of cool down for a minute. But I think
106. 3:02if I'm trying to think about how I can
107. 3:03how I can tie stakes to it. So the most
108. 3:06tactically relevant one that's closest
109. 3:07is like the measurable component and
110. 3:08that's something that I'm working on.
111. 3:10>> Real quick, I'm going to show you the
112. 3:11exact 10 stage road map from zero to a
113. 3:13hundred million plus that less than one
114. 3:16percent of companies finish I've now
115. 3:17done multiple times. And so I can say
116. 3:19with a lot of confidence that these are
117. 3:20the stages as head count increases that
118. 3:22you need to get through and I broke each
119. 3:25of these down by eight different
120. 3:26functions of the business, what the
121. 3:28constraint feels like, like what are the
122. 3:29symptoms of it when you're going through
123. 3:31it, and then what steps we actually took
124. 3:32to graduate. And we've done this across
125. 3:34software, physical products,
126. 3:36service businesses, brick and mortar,
127. 3:38all of this and it works. And it's my
