Human beings we are creatures of habits
and unfortunately most of us are lazy.
So if we're lazy how are we gonna achieve anything great?
How do you keep yourself accountable?
(upbeat music)
Not easily.
Not easily, because let's face it,
you know what you need to do.
Comment below.
You know what it takes.
How many of that know exactly what you need to do
to move closer to your goals?
But you just can't get yourself to do those things.
You procrastinate, right?
You delay, right?
You make up excuses or you say I don't know how.
Or you just keep putting it off
and you want to hold yourself accountable
but you don't know how.
Today I'm gonna give you three P's.
Three P's you can use today to keep yourself accountable.
Number one the first P is, People, People.
So imagine this, you want to get in shape.
You want to get fit.
You want to be healthier.
Well you wanna loose weight.
Now, what are some of the things you can do?
You could go and buy one of those you know gadgets
and machines that you see on TV.
Right?
And then you buy it and then it gets delivered to you home
and you use it for a couple of days.
And very quickly they become
what I call expensive dust collectors.
Right?
Or expensive like clothe hanger.
You know one of those running machines.
It is sitting in your bedroom, sitting in your living room.
Or you can say oh I'm gonna sign up for a gym membership.
And you know how it works.
You sign up for a gym membership,
maybe you go a couple times and then you stop going
and then oh yeah I'll go next week,
and I'll go next week, I'll go next week.
No one is holding you accountable.
You can not even hold yourself accountable
and then guess what but you signed a three year contract,
you signed a two year contract.
But you end up not using that gym membership
or the first P is people.
Now imagine a different scenario,
where yes you're gonna loose weight.
But you're gonna hire some people.
Your gonna surround yourself with people
who hold you accountable, who keep you accountable.
So let's say you hire a personal trainer.
And you know that personal trainer is costing you whatever,
$30, $50, $80, whatever that it costes you.
The personal trainer trains with you,
comes up some kind of a meal plan
and some kind of exercise plan for you.
Well, guess what.
Chances of you doing what it takes,
that probability goes up.
So first P's people.
Second it's process.
I always say in my book FU money.
I talk about real commitment
is a commitment with a formal structure.
Real commitment, it's a commitment with a formal structure.
So let's take example again.
You have a personal trainer.
Now the personal trainer comes up
with a very schedule plan for you.
Meaning hey three days a week we are going
to do these type of exercises.
We are going to do some weight training
for 30 minutes or 45 minutes.
And then we're gonna do some cardio
for another 20, 30 minutes and that's going
to be your schedule every single week.
It doesn't matter if it's raining.
It doesn't matter if it's snowing.
It doesn't matter if it's sunny, doesn't matter.
Three times a week we gonna get together,
we are going to work out.
And in between, here are the meals that I want you to eat.
Now just in case,
I'm gonna have these like prepackaged meals for you.
So you don't end up eating any junk food
or fast food or things like that.
Right?
There's a lot of temptations
or maybe you wanna eat that chocolate cookie.
Nope, this is what you gonna eat.
Again that's a real commitment.
A commitment with a formal structure.
You know exactly what the structure you need to follow.
That's a process.
So people, first one.
Second P is process.
The third one, is public declaration.
Public declaration, meaning you are telling the world
what you gonna do.
This is a very powerful, powerful way
to make sure you keep yourself accountable.
So with me as for example, if you watch my videos.
You've been following my work for some time now,
comment below if you've been watching what I do
for a long time, you've been studying with me
for a long time.
You could see in the beginning of 2017,
we had 10,000 subscribers on YouTube.
And I made a public promise.
Right?
I made a public declaration
that we are gonna grow this YouTube channel
from 10,000 subscribers to 100,000 subscribers.
I didn't keep that to myself.
I made a fucking video and I tell the world about it.
This is what I'm going to do.
That's how I keep myself accountable.
So there's no backup plan.
There's no plan B.
There's no maybe.
There's no well I'll see how I feel like it.
No, there's no if we will see we will make it happen.
We're gonna fucking make it happen.
Because human being is very very interesting.
That when you make a public declaration like this,
we don't want to loose face, in Chinese terms.
We don't want to break a promise to the world.
And we'll do everything we possible could
to make sure that we can fulfill on that promise.
That public declaration, very very powerful.
And then earlier 2018,
I said okay now we hit 100,000 subscribers.
And we did by the end of 2017, we hit 100,000 subscribers.
And then I made a public declaration again
and say we now hit 100,000 subscribers,
we're going for half a million.
And then we're gonna go for one million.
Now I thought it would take me from 100,000
to half a million in one year, well we bypassed that.
Within a year we bypassed one million subscribers.
Right?
And thank you for your support.
That's another public declaration.
You see how this works?
When you combine people, surround yourself
with people who hold you accountable.
When you have a proven process,
knowing exactly what you need to do.
So you take the thinking out of it.
There's no thinking.
You just do, you just do.
And then you tell the world, you make a public declaration.
You declare to the world these are my goals.
This is what I'm gonna do.
There's no backup.
I'm not gonna back out.
You only go forward.
Do those three things,
that's how you keep yourself accountable.
And that's how you strive and that's how you thrive.
And that's how you get to the goals
that you thought maybe are impossible to achieve.
But when you can do these things,
they are not so impossible anymore.
You're turning the impossible to highly probable.
You're turning what seems can not be done.
But now you can get yourself to do what it takes
and you can stay focused and then you can make it happen.
Until next time, I'll see you in my Bentley.
