Are you looking to get inspired and
motivated? Maybe you're looking at it
from the wrong direction. Let's calibrate
and see exactly what you need to do next.
Getting inspired is not always about
just receiving answers. I think part of
getting inspired means you actually know
what your problems really are. And over
the years of mentoring people, one-on-one
or in large groups. What I keep finding
over and over again is people actually
don't know exactly what the problem is
that they're facing, so that would mean...
That's why they're not getting
inspiration on how to solve the problem.
They just know something's not working.
So, I really believe to get inspired and
be motivated means you've got to be
crystal clear about what your problem or
challenge really is. I mean you talk to
any type of consultant or somebody who's
a problem solver, they're going to ask you,
"Okay, what is the problem we're actually
solving?" It's kind of like taking your
vehicle into the mechanic, you know, to
get it fixed and your mechanic goes, "Okay,
what's wrong with it?" And you say,
"Actually, I don't know." Well, you want the
mechanic to help narrow down the problem,
so then he knows what he's going to fix
because you want the exact problem fixed.
So, the mechanic is trained to be able to
find out exactly what the problem is. So,
in our own personal life, we need to be
the mechanics. We need to do the ones who
will start looking through the engine of
our life or the components of our life
to find out which part is not working.
When we know what is not working then we
can focus on looking for the answers or
finding the people or receiving
inspiration to fix it or adjust it. But
you can't fix something when you don't
even know what it is. So, I've got an
exercise here for you about how to
discover what the challenge really is.
Because again, you can't fix it if you
don't know what it is. So, simple exercise
but it's going to help you narrow it
down is get a piece of paper and put
3 columns on that piece of paper and
you can get like an eight-and-a-half by
11 piece of paper. Fold it up and watch,
I'm just going to fold the paper up into
3 different sections and this
the exercise I use when I'm mentoring
somebody in helping them discover what
their problem is. So they can get
inspired, so they can get motivated. So,
you take a take a piece of paper like
this and you... I guess you'd call it a
trifold, right? Fold it into 3
different sections.
You now have 3 columns. These 3
columns are going to be represented
right here on this big pad of paper but
really, get a piece of paper fold it just
like this and I'll show you what to do
next. In this column. Let's start here and
this column right here. You want to write
out in sentences across here. You want to
write out what your goals are or your
wishes. And just write them out
individually. I wish I could let go at 20
pounds, I wish I could have an extra
thousand dollars a month, I'd like to
have new friends, love to go do something
fun, maybe one of your goals is to clean
up that section of your garage. It's
always been a mess. But you're writing
down your goals and wishes over here. The
thing is that, if you had a magic wand, you
wish that they could just happen right
now.
Now, over here, so this is step 1. Step
2, right here, you write down the
condition of this of each one of these
goals over here. So, let's say this is
number 1, this is number 2, 3, 4,
5. Now, we're here, you're going to write
the same numbers but you're going to write
how it is right now. So, this is the now
and this is the goal and the wish. So,
right now this one said, you know, "I want
to let go of 20 pounds." Right here
I'd put, okay, "I'm not exercising." Right?
"I'm not exercising."
"I'm not eating healthy and I just eat
whatever I want." Over here it says, you
know, "I want to have $1000...
extra thousand dollars a month." Right
here, I would put... Well, "I'm not trying... Not
trying to find a job or a career skill.
Not studying money."
So, you really you're making an
accountability of where you are now
compared to what you wish could happen.
Now, in the middle... In the middle, this is
your way of finding out "what's missing?"
So, this is literally the missing
category. What is it that's missing? So,
for number 1, for me to. you know. let go
of this 20 pounds, what's missing? Well,
I need to find out what I should change
eating. So, I'm going to, you know, "I need
to look at my eating and maybe I need to
you know organize a workout plan." Then
you know, the thousand dollars over here
that I want to have. Well, over here I'm
not trying. So, right here would mean you
know, "Read a book about money." You know,
"Read a book about money." Maybe "Look at
getting a different job." Or maybe "I
should manage my money." So, over here's
the goal. Right here's what the current
condition is. In this category is what
you're missing. Now, for me to get
inspired and motivated. You know, I
would seem like why I'm just going to focus
on my goals and my wishes. But... Or I could
focus on where I'm at right now. Neither
one of these is really going to motivate us
because we don't know what to adjust. We
don't know what to fix. So, then you take
this paper. This that I've folded up in
3 pieces.
This becomes the focus. This is the focus
right here and the questions you want to
ask yourself is... Number 1 question is
"Who could help me with this?" It's not
like how you're going to do it by yourself.
in the eating out, the extra money or
cleaning the garage or whatever. Whatever
the project is, you then now start to
ponder on. Which means to think about who
is it
that could assist me with this? Because
one of the reasons why you can't get
from this column to this column is
because you can't do it by yourself. Ah,
there's something to think about my
friend. You can't get from here to here
because you've tried. You've thought
about it, you wished about it, you've
wanted it for so long but right here, you
have some very specific things you're
not doing. And you're at a level that
it's going to require somebody else's help.
So, you ponder on, "Okay, well who is it
that could help me with this?" And
literally by pondering on who could this
person be, you are actually now posing a
question. And questions help facilitate
answers. And so, when you're around people,
you know, you're around your buddies or
whatever you say, "Hey, I want to I want to
earn a thousand dollars extra a month.
Does anybody know who I should talk to?"
And you start, you know, sharing this. You
actually start looking for this person,
these people. And if you start asking who
could help me let go of 20 pounds and
"Does anybody know somebody who could
help me let go 20 pounds?" It's not going to
take very long before you've got a list
of people that other people know who
knows how to let help you get 20 pounds
off of your body. And now that you have
the WHO and you're looking and you've
found them. Now, it's time to take some
action and follow through to connect
with that person. When you know what
you're missing and now when you know you
need to find a person, when you find the
person and they say, "Oh, so what can I
help you with?" Well, "I need to let go of
20 pounds. I'm not sure what to eat and
what to start eating, what to stop eating.
But I need to let go 20 pounds. Could you
help me with that?" The person you meet
that you're looking for, they can answer
that question for you like, "Yeah, I can
help you that." or "No, I can't.
Here's somebody else you can go to." But
you'll notice that most people who
accomplish a goal had to go through
meeting people and learning something
about that goal before they could
accomplish it. When you know what you're
missing and you know you got to find a
person, when you meet the person, you tell
them what you're missing then you can
decide if that person is a perfect fit
for you or not. You literally are people
away from getting your goals. And so, to
become inspired and motivated... And I'll
tell you why this is so exciting to be
motivated about this inspired about this
is because you're not waiting for some
answer to just fall out of the sky here.
You literally getting yourself organized.
And knowing this is where it's at. And
when you have what you're missing and
you found the person, it can become very
inspiring and very motivating because
this, right here, this step is moving
you into this direction. Every goal I've
ever accomplished, I've had to find
somebody to help me figure out what it
is I got to do to get here. I know what I
was missing but I just don't know what
to do. And that you're literally just a
person away or the right person away
from accomplishing that goal. The 20
pounds coming off, for the extra thousand
dollars. Whatever it is you want to do.
Whatever it is you want to do in this
world. If you know what you're lacking
and you can find a person who can fill
that lack, you're going to find yourself
very motivated, very inspired because
it's doable to accomplish that goal. So,
that's what you got to do. Write down
what your wishes are your goals, write
down where you're currently at, write
down what you're missing and start posing
the question who is it? Go looking for
the person and then take action on
meeting the person, sorting it through
who would be the best fit for you. And
watch, you're going to be inspired and
motivated. Well, now you've watched the
video. Now you know what's been missing,
right? Well, take the action steps and
really follow through this. And of course,
