This is going to sound super obvious after i after i say it.
it'll sound super obvious after i say it and be like duh but i want you to think about do you
actually ever think about this day in and day out but when it comes to yourself when you look at you
you are always a whip okay what do i mean you're always work in progress right
except you don't think about yourself that way and you don't think about me that way
so what do i mean just as an example all right so i sit here today in front of you right some of
you might have just found me this morning some of you might have been following me for a few years
but i look to you like finished product right here he is he's giving you a talk on his beliefs and
and so on and i look like a finished product and even what i'm presenting to you looks
like a finished product but nothing could be further from the truth right i am constantly
in a state of change and evolution and when when whenever we create something in our lives as we go
through the creation of what we want to accomplish or what we want to tackle
i have news for you the masterpiece never looks like a masterpiece when you're in the middle of it
right the surgeon as she stands over the patient whose tummy she has ripped open looking down that
masterpiece doesn't look like a masterpiece during the middle of the operation right it isn't until
the the great big smile on the patient's face when he's all healed that it becomes a masterpiece
and so so so think about that when you're in the middle of something it's never going
to look like a masterpiece and that includes you uh it includes anything you develop right
that that book is not going to look like a like a masterpiece inside microsoft word right
and and so when when when you're when you're going through and you're actually creating i i have a
line out there today's line to live by uh if you follow me on the social media sites you know i put
these out every morning at 7 00 am and one of them is the plagiarizer never sees the invisible work
that makes the masterpiece the masterpiece right it isn't somebody will i can almost say that with
certainty take this talk i'm giving today copy the seven points and then go make a talk of their own
right from the seven points but they never see all the work that went into creating the talk or the
book or the paper or the project or the system or the whatever it certainly didn't happen this week
right this is 55 years being manufactured in in and harnessed into 20 or 30 minutes
to deliver it to you but the plagiarizer can never see that but one one extension of that yourself
remember and i i wrote this one out for you as you want to create something in your life
and the masterpiece will never look like a masterpiece during the process but
for you the work internally is what makes the masterpiece the masterpiece it's the journey
for everybody else it's the finished product at the snapshot at a moment in time and maybe
it lives forever or maybe it evolves but a masterpiece can never be a masterpiece unless
it benefits somebody else and it cannot benefit somebody else unless the thing is breathing so
you need to be able to create it and get it out into this world and if you're hemming and hawn
and afraid about its receipt you're gonna have to get over that so i want you to have a bias for
action i want you to have a bias for action and the tip is if you can get your mindset wrapped
around creating mvps minimum viable prototypes or minimum viable products whatever it is
that you want to call this but spend the least amount of time and the least amount of money
getting something livable and breathable out into this world now it could be a training course like
i give to you or a talk or it could be a white paper you write or it could be a process that your
team uses but i always say you can't scale version zero but you can scale the heck out of version 1.0
okay i have i have things out there four years old they're still in version 1.0 and i have some
things that are in version 1.3 and some 2.0 and some that are in version 15.7 so but this bias
for action will keep you in motion in the and what else will this do it'll give you momentum
right and once things are produced it's going to make you happy and you can work with it and
you won't know if it's a masterpiece until you get it living and breathing and what'll happen is the
people who are using it will help you make it a better masterpiece and they'll get value out of it
you
