Full transcript

1. 0:00Okay, Melissa Gamrouki.
2. 0:02I burned out chasing success and over
3. 0:04time avoiding hard work became a habit.
4. 0:05I've been building and willing to make
5. 0:07the sacrifices. How do I break the
6. 0:08plateau?
7. 0:09Without Or actually, how do I break the
8. 0:10pattern without returning to unhealthy
9. 0:13habits?
10. 0:14Man, you've got a lot of words in there
11. 0:17that feel very heavy.
12. 0:19Um
13. 0:21I think this is really important. So,
14. 0:23I'm going to say this again for everyone
15. 0:24cuz I'm I'm going to repeat Melissa's
16. 0:26question.
17. 0:27I burned out chasing success. We have no
18. 0:30idea what success means here. And over
19. 0:31time avoiding hard work became a habit.
20. 0:34So, you just
21. 0:36didn't do [ __ ] Okay. I'm rebuilding
22. 0:38now. But it's like you're not
23. 0:39rebuilding. Like we're not building a
24. 0:40house, right? Again, I
25. 0:43I'm so so anal with language because
26. 0:46we we weave ourselves into these traps
27. 0:49and we create handcuffs with the words
28. 0:51that we use that don't mean anything.
29. 0:53Right? And so, we create these visual
30. 0:55words like handcuffs that chain us to
31. 0:59our present, but there is no chain. You
32. 1:02are not a prisoner. You can just do
33. 1:04whatever the [ __ ] you want. And so,
34. 1:07you're rebuilding now willing to make
35. 1:08sacrifices. It's like what sacrifices
36. 1:09are we talking about? How do I break the
37. 1:10pattern? So, in this condition I behave
38. 1:13a specific way without returning to my
39. 1:15unhealthy habits, my other patterns,
40. 1:17which let's define healthy, right? And
41. 1:20so,
42. 1:21All right. Zooming out, Melissa.
43. 1:25You just have to do stuff
44. 1:28that gets you the outcome you want.
45. 1:30And if you're not doing that stuff, that
46. 1:31it means that you are more rewarded for
47. 1:33doing nothing than doing the thing,
48. 1:35which makes sense.
49. 1:37And so, you will need to have something
50. 1:39that motivates you in a good way that
51. 1:41you can go towards or something that
52. 1:43motivates you in a bad way that you can
53. 1:45run away from. You can use both. You can
54. 1:47use one. It doesn't really matter.
55. 1:49But I think that
56. 1:52like when you said you got burned out
57. 1:53chasing success, I hit this one earlier.
58. 1:55Like
59. 1:56you need I think some people need to I
60. 1:57need to make bigger risks. You need to
61. 1:58make bigger bets.
62. 2:00Like it's like I'm only willing to do
63. 2:02this thing, but if it does work, it
64. 2:04doesn't matter. It's like, well, then
65. 2:05why do it? Like make a bigger bet. Make
66. 2:07a bet that you're like a little nervous
67. 2:09about because that's what's going to
68. 2:10motivate you.
69. 2:12Right? It's the stakes. I think stakes
70. 2:14are not spoken enough about.
71. 2:16Like you have you have you've reached a
72. 2:17certain level of competence. You're able
73. 2:19to like feed yourself and and and and
74. 2:21and go to work every day.
75. 2:22Congratulations. That's good. That's an
76. 2:23accomplishment. Nothing wrong with that.
77. 2:25Um
78. 2:26but I think that like you have to look
79. 2:28back like a lot of a lot of my life I
80. 2:29spend looking backwards from a future
81. 2:31version of myself saying, what will I be
82. 2:32dissatisfied about the person that I am
83. 2:34today? Like what will that guy say about
84. 2:36today? What will he nitpick me for?
85. 2:39That
86. 2:41that I would be ashamed of in the
87. 2:42future.
88. 2:43And then I let that shame of my future
89. 2:45self motivate me today to move.
90. 2:53But at the end of the day, I think you
91. 2:54just got to do some [ __ ] and not worry
92. 2:55about all these words that you're using
93. 2:57because I think they are just keeping
94. 2:58you down. All right. If you like this
95. 3:00video and you're a business owner who
96. 3:01wants to break through your current
97. 3:02revenue ceiling, I distilled every

99. 3:0510 million and three businesses past 100
100. 3:07million into a completely free scaling
101. 3:09roadmap that I've used to go from zero
102. 3:11to one, zero to 10, and zero to 100
103. 3:13plus. And so you can click here and you
104. 3:14can check it out. Again, absolutely free
105. 3:16and since you're a business owner,
106. 3:17appreciates you and enjoy.
