I think you've incorporate all these into your life.
- They're not all my ideas but I took 'em from books
I've read and people I've met and whatnot.
- I think Brad and I both kinda had similar backgrounds
in that we both listened to motivational speakers
when we were younger.
- Right.
- In the car and stuff like that.
- Back when they had cassette tapes.
- When we had cassette tapes.
Back when a little squirrel on a treadmill or something.

All right Brad, take it away.
How are we gonna get successful here?
- Okay, five things.
Now sometimes there's acronyms that you can use.
This one, I could not come up with an acronym,
but I came up with a little sentence.
Reasonable role model supported by reminders and mantras.
- Okay.
- So what does that mean?
- That's a mouthful.
- If you have something you wanna accomplish,
whether it's a fitness goal, whether it's educational,
a family goal, a religious goal,
you need to focus on it.
And if you focus on it, it will become true.
- It becomes reality.
- Right, so these five things are gonna help remind
you, and keep you on track.
So, number one is make sure it's a reasonable goal.
It's an achievable goal.
For example, I do a number of triathlons
over the last 20 years, and I can think of about
three or four people-
- So triathlon, that's swimming, biking, and running.
- Right, you usually start out with a smaller one.
That takes about an hour to do.
But I've noticed a few people,
they signed up for the Ironman Triathlon.
- Which is nuts.
- They've never done a triathlon before,
and they signed up, and 10 months from now,
they're gonna do an Ironman,
which is really too big of a goal,
unless the person's extremely fit to begin with,
which is usually not the case.
- Well I would say, Brad, you put that as a future
goal, but as steps to it, you make actionable goals
which would be one, doing the smaller triathlon first.
- Right, but I'm saying- - Right.
For them to say, I'm doin' Ironman, that's the first thing
I'm gonna do.
That's where I'm gonna work toward.
That's just nuts.
- Usually, it takes about 15 hours
for the first timer to do it.
They might be faster or slower,
but one way or another, I think the winners come in
in like 10 hours.
It's an all day event, it's etremely-
- I mean, even staying awake for me that long is hard.
I don't know how I'd work out for that long.
- So set yourself reasonable- - Actionable goals.
- Little ones that take it step by step and grow.
The next one is, this really has helped me,
finding role models that relates to the goal
that you're doing.
In my case, I'm gonna give an example.
When I went to Specter College,
when I was 29 years old, I really-
- Which his really impressive, Brad, by the way,
because physical therapy school is tough,
and to go back at a later age, your memory's
not as good already. No, it really isn't at that age.
- And I really had no study skills,
because I never took a college prep course
in high school at all, so it was a challenge.
But, my brother, who was not academic in high shool,
C average or so, maybe C+ average, went to the army,
become an army ranger, did not need to be academic for that.
- Which is very impressive, though.
Army ranger's not a-
- Oh yeah, he was a very aggressive person.
And then he decided to become a nurse,
after leaving the army.
Everyone that knew him was like-
- No way that's gonna happen. - It's not gonna happen.
- What age was that at? Do you know?
- He was 22. - 22.
- Yeah, he was four years in the service.
- Never really done anything academic up to that point
is what you're saying.
- No, you know, he learned about the anatomy in the service,
'cause learned, if you broke a bone, out in the woods
you had to learn how to splint it and whatnot.
He became very interested in it,
and became a nurse two years later.
A registered nurse.
- Wow, bravo!
- Would you imagine, he works in the E.R. department.
- He wants the action, yeah.
- So he's 60 years old now, so he's really done,
and because of that, it really gave me inspiration
to get to college, study my butt off,
and get the grades to get to P.T. school.
- I'm gonna give you just a small example.
This is almost self aggrandizing here because
nobody in my family went to college.
I come from a family of 11 kids.
Nobody went to college, I was the first one.
And after I went, then they all went.
So you know, they do.
They see you, they know, if he can do it,
we can certainly do it.
- If Bob can get to college!
Oh my god.
- Sign me up.
- Sign me up is right.
- This next one is very self explanatory,
but make sure you be around supportive-
- People. - People.
Whether it's family or friends.
- You just really wanna avoid, to be honest,
the negative people that are going to bring you down,
'cause there'll be plenty of people that'll tell you
you can't do it.
- Right.
- And what ifs.
- Why your gonna do that?
That's such a silly goal.
Like, you know, like doin' an Ironman.
Why do you wanna do all that exercise?
There's a lot more practical stuff you could do.
- Right, exactly, look for people that are maybe
already doing it.
- Surround yourself with that-
- That's right.
- Envelope of support.
- That's right, the warm feelings.
- And then the next one is more on a personal level.
You're doing it with yourself is reminders.
Remind yourself about this goal all the time.
We're gonna give you a couple examples
and it'll make sense.
This is one of my wife's idea.
I didn't start this, but my email address,
and we did it on some of our other addresses.
Like our banking book when we wanted to go to Alaska.
She used a password relating to that.
- That's great, I think that's a fantastic idea,
'cause how many times you gotta use your password,
and every time, it's a little ding, a reminder.
- Exactly, right, another one,
when we wanted to get to a million subscribers.
- Sure.
- I put BHBT, one million.
- Sure.
- There you go.
So now I'm gonna change my password.
- And you know what I often do is I'll put a little
slip in my wallet just as a reminder of a goal
what I wanna do.
I had a password that said by the way, I am awesome.
- True.
- Hey, I wanted to pump myself up!
- Nothing wrong with it.
Photographs on the mirror, photographs in your car,
on your dashboard.
Little reminders like that make a big difference.
- Maybe what you're trying to head for and if you're
trying to get a certain body type, maybe you wanna
put that on there.
- Or lose some weight.
- Right.
- Okay, next one.
Mantra, everyone know what a mantra is.
This, I remember a guy I used to run with.
He's really a fun guy, the kind of guy you like
to be around.
He used to run marathons.
His goal is to literally run a marathon in every
continent in the United States.
- No kidding.
- Yeah and he's done all of them but one.
And I can't remember which continent he has not done.
- Not continent.
Country.
- Continent.
Continent!
- Well a continent is the whole.
- Right, so he went, flew down to south, Antarctica,
and he ran a marathon.
- Oh yeah, every continent, not in the United States.
Every continent in the world.
That's what threw me off, Brad.
- I was wondering what was going on there.
- Okay, every continent in the world.
- In the world.
You know.
- Sure, Antarctica, Europe, Asia.
- He hasn't done the north Arc Arctica.
- Okay, right, Artica and Antarctica.
- Right. He hasn't done the North Pole area yet.
So anyways, he would say relax relax
and you will achieve your max.
So when running, if you relax, especially longer
distance runs, you save energy, you're much faster,
it's much more enjoyable.
But it's really the same with anything you do in life.
- Right.
- You know, literally, if you're reading a book,
if you relax, you read better,
as opposed to if you're tense.
- Same with golf.
You gotta relax.
Sports, you know you got that happy tension, slight tension.
- Or bein' around your family.
Especially you got a lot of young kids.
They're kinda-
- You wanna be relaxed.
- You gotta be relaxed
so you can work with 'em appropriately.
And then this was a cool one.
I had to look this one up.
If you're, this is for a dieting person.
If you're not hungry enough to eat an apple,
you're probably not that hungry.
- That's right.
That's a good mantra to keep in your mind
as you go through the day.
- With an apple in you briefcase or in your lunch box.
- I don't know if this is a mantra, but I do always say,
and I just said it on our earlier video,
everyday is a gift. - Sure.
- Enjoy that day, focus on that day,
because tomorrow who knows what it brings.
- Right, exactly.
Good luck with your goals. - Yeah!
- Take a list, you could re-watch this
even if you missed one or.
- That's right, hey in the comments below,
give us your ideas too.
- Great.
- We'd love to hear those.
- Right, and other people too, so we're gonna help
each other within the-
- Yeah, as a community!
- A community.
- That's right, there we go.
All right, Brad.
