my chair
okay cool so this is the coolest moment of any
speech it's before anybody gets here this stadium the American Airlines
Center will be full of people who are about to learn the five seconds and once
they learn it they'll never forget it once they start using it their lives
will never be the same again change is happening all around this particularly
in your industry well it's going to come down to this how do you focus on what
matters your most valuable resource is your time and I think the most important
skill that you can develop is a laser focus in order to get what you want
you're gonna have to change and we're going to show you the secret to how you
do it a leader will tell but never teach it too they practice what they preach
change comes down to that's the big choices actually the
little ones the ones that happen in five seconds at a time so the next speaker
teaches you how to gain more confidence courage and control and your life and
work does that sound good she is a woman who wears many hats she's
married mother of three fourth generation business owner award wing
analyst with CNN contributing Evers to success magazine and the best-selling
author and she chose us to spend the afternoon with and I gotta be honest
with you I've met a lot of speakers backstage that have done some phenomenal
things but I've never met a person that made me feel like this lady made me feel
she is a woman you will never forget Robin
the most book female speaker in the entire world this year you should hit
the nail on the head having information but consistent action was what's Miss
awesome well it's not gonna be missing when I'm coughing
is not only going to help you in your business it's actually gonna change your
life and I realize that sounds a little
cheesy right for me to just come out here be like oh yeah I can change your
life well the reason why I can say that is what I'm about to share with you it's
free isn't that awesome yes it's backed by science it's working
for millions of people around the world it'll work the very first time you use
it and it's so silly and so brilliant that you'll never forget it it's called
the five-second rule no not the one that we grew up with where you drop food on
the ground right and then you can pick it up and eat it and blow dog hair off
yeah no no this actually I got to be honest with you this rule it was
classified information this was my secret weapon for a long
time and then I started talking about it and it spread like wildfire and now I
want to teach it to you so that you can use it to beat procrastination to build
confidence to triple your business this year to improve your life any way that
you want because what we know about improving your life is that what it
requires is action I got to get you out of up here and I got to get you out
moving so that's what we're gonna do today
sonna make somebody to look up see
transformation when it comes to change becomes the innovation disruption any of
it the most important word is not will you or won't you but do you have the
will to push yourself to push yourself to be brave to push yourself to take a
small risk to push yourself into uncertainty to trust that wisdom that's
in you this explains why knowing what you need
to do isn't enough knowing what you need to do is not enough okay in order to
change in order to change yourself in particular you got to activate this part
of your brain you got to make decisions in five-second windows they're different
than the decisions that you make on autopilot let me give you a great
example how many of you are excited to be here
today because you know that by being at this event you are going to increase
your personal network and professional network within Microsoft let me see a
round of hands yes every hand should go up that's right how many of you are
sitting next to people you know every one of you yes now here's why that
happened you know that one of the things that you're trying to change is working
in silos you know that you're looking to transform the culture you know that it
starts with you but the problem is when you walk in here after having breakfast
you're on autopilot the second you you you pass through that
threshold of that door you are on autopilot this part of your brain is in
control what is the pattern find somebody I know and sit down we're gonna
change that right now I'd like you to stand up I know
I want you to stand up and I want you to quickly move the first person that you
see that you don't know go find a seat sit down anybody here is amazing so just
walk toward the first person and go alright thank you first of all thank you
for doing that now why would I do something so
irritating number one it was your first bonding
experience of the day because you all thought the exact same thing you were
thinking yeah she's pretty cool and they're like I hate her I hate her
the other reason why I do this is because I want to take this out of the
conceptional conceptual and into the physiology of change I want to give you
an experience that you can take with you so change you know that you know you
felt when I pushed you to move and you had that like in your body just like ah
no that is what researchers call that that resistance that was in you that
force that required you that was came for me basically pushing you to do it
that was called activation energy activation energy is a term that we
borrow from chemistry it's a term that describes the fact that when you're
going to do a chemical reaction which basically is changing changing something
the activation energy to start it way higher than the amount of energy to
sustain it any kind of change that you want to make in your personal life
whether it's getting out of bed whether it's changing how you talk to your
spouse whether it's pushing yourself to get to the gym whether it's being brave
at work whether it's even stopping what you're working on and the moment that
the little calendar alarm goes off watching one of the videos that trains
you as a manager to speak differently because it makes a difference
any time you're about to switch gears from what you're doing and push yourself
to do something new uncertain scary or brave guess what you're gonna feel you
are your design that way absolutely positively and so I pushed you so I
could introduce you to the only obstacle that you have and that's the garbage
that's in you the excuses that you listen to the patterns of behavior and
resignation that get hardwired into all of us and it's gonna require you
each and every time that you're gonna be brave that you're gonna make a small
five-second change to push through that I'm so blessed we join with the great
legendary Mel Robbins today how do you as an entrepreneur spot the trends that
are coming we have to respond to what our audience wants I got you a little
something perhaps you might find a great spot for this in one of your hotels
if you live so cautiously that you hesitate you hold yourself back all the
time that's not living at dying fear will not save you from death it actually
kills your life I know this is like when a caged animal gets loose right you're
like wait a minute she's coming out this was not part of what I was told was
happening here I call this fear factor inside these
envelopes I've written instructions if you are picked to play you will open an
envelope you will read the instructions and you will do exactly what it says the
fear and the hesitation and the paralysis is getting bigger see
everybody over there thinks they're off the hook not so much everybody behind me
is now I thank you I know you thought that you were gonna
hide how nervous are you ten thirteen eleven twelve or fifteen or thirty
twenty seven my heart's pounding out of my chest
my heart's race freaked out I'm going up on stage with no hole
now here's what's amazing guys excitement and fear exact same things in
your body the only difference between what you feel when you're excited when
you're afraid is what your brain is processing it is you feel a little bit
better yes pretty weird huh yeah you're a defense 9
Wow we went down all right all right you ready for another one
sure how scared are you less shall we speaking at the next conference you
watch yes I will
congratz life that's just paying for your registration and three night hotel
stay at the elite academy Toronado

with really choosy to change
you never know how this rule is gonna hit you I told you it's gonna haunt you
but you're never too old you're never too tired and you're never not good
enough to find the power that's inside you to bring it to the surface and to
change absolutely everything thank you
thank you it is a privilege to share this with you
now Robin
that was crazy amazing the energy was insane the reason why they was so
incredible was just people now are leaving with something to do it's one
thing to be inspired it's another thing to be empowered with the tool and that's
why I love this so much as we leave people in action
you know I I get so blown away by how this works for people meeting people
that that are actually changing their lives I just it's overwhelming
