Your Motivation Is Worthless If It Can't Survive Wednesday Morning

We've all had that moment when something hits us so powerfully that we promise ourselves everything is about to change. We leave the conference inspired, the workshop energized, or the experience convinced that this time will be different.

Then Wednesday morning arrives. The bills are waiting, life gets messy, the bad news comes, and nobody is applauding. What happens to your commitment then?

In this episode, Kellan Fluckiger challenges you to stop measuring your transformation by how inspired you feel and start measuring it by what you actually do when life gets difficult. Because consistency is your identity made visible.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why motivation and inspiration often disappear when ordinary life resumes.
  • The F.U.C.K. framework: Fierce, Unapologetic, Consistent, and Kind.
  • Why Wednesday morning is the real test of your commitments.
  • Consistency as the visible expression of your identity.
  • The difference between consistency and rigidly repeating the same routine.
  • Kellan's Daily Creation Process and the SPEM framework: Spiritual, Physical, Emotional, and Mental.
  • Why methods, schedules, and tactics can change while your principles remain consistent.
  • How to adapt your commitments when circumstances, health, or fatigue interfere.
  • The difference between honoring a principle and becoming enslaved to a ritual.
  • Why habits make great servants but horrifying masters.
  • Consistency of spirit across work, home, relationships, and difficult circumstances.
  • How repeated acts of honesty, forgiveness, love, and commitment compound over time.
  • Why keeping your word to yourself is essential to building self-trust.
  • The power of shrinking promises until you can reliably keep them.
  • How ordinary, repeated actions accumulate into extraordinary results.
  • Why kindness must accompany discipline.
  • How shame and self-attack turn a missed commitment into abandonment.
  • Kellan's practice of getting up, fessing up, cleaning it up, and recommitting after failure.
  • How to identify one important commitment and make it real on an ordinary Wednesday morning.
  • Connecting consistency with purpose, prosperity, joy, and personal sovereignty.

Speaker A

We've all been there.

Speaker A

Some meeting, conference, church experience, I don't care.

Speaker A

Ayahuasca retreat.

Speaker A

We get an insight, we make a promise and then Wednesday morning at 9:30, the bills, stuff happens.

Speaker A

Do they survive your commitments?

Speaker A

Welcome to the show.

Speaker A

Tired of the hype about living the dream?

Speaker A

It's time for truth.

Speaker A

This is the place for tools, power and real talk so you can create the life you dream and deserve your ultimate life.

Speaker A

Subscribe, share, create.

Speaker A

You have infinite power.

Speaker A

Welcome to your ultimate life, the podcast completely dedicated to help you create purposes, prosperity and joy.

Speaker A

I know it's possible because I live there and I'm thrilled and dedicated to helping you get there.

Speaker A

And maybe you live in purpose, prosperity and joy all the time.

Speaker A

And if you do, I love it.

Speaker A

I'm grateful.

Speaker A

I mean that super, super, super amount, right?

Speaker A

Being a little bit silly.

Speaker A

See this URL right here, YourUltimate Life podcast.com I invite you to go to that URL YourUltimate LifePodcast.com because there's a contact form there.

Speaker A

And if you want to be on the show, I invite you to get a hold of me and I want you to put in the subject line, show or guest, and in the email that you send, I want you to tell me why.

Speaker A

Here's who I like.

Speaker A

I like people that are committed to serving others.

Speaker A

I like people who are trying to get a message into the world.

Speaker A

I like people who are living the ultimate life purpose, prosperity and joy and doing it in a way that is service based, you know, conscious business we call that, I love that service oriented business.

Speaker A

That's what I'm all about.

Speaker A

And if you're that, I want to have you as a guest.

Speaker A

Why?

Speaker A

Because I love hearing your stories.

Speaker A

Number one two, I want to expand your reach.

Speaker A

I want to broadcast from my platform.

Speaker A

And you know, we're not the number one podcast in the world, but we are in the top 3%, which means we have thousands, tens of thousands of regular listeners.

Speaker A

And I want to give them the opportunity to see your face and hear your voice in another way, like a new way.

Speaker A

I know you're already doing that if you're living that kind of life.

Speaker A

So I invite you to come be on the show.

Speaker A

The second thing I want to talk about today is the acronym, the scary one.

Speaker A

F U C K. Yes, I know what that spells.

Speaker A

And I don't cuss in real life.

Speaker A

I'm not a person that runs around and, you know, fills life with profanity and so forth.

Speaker A

I used to be.

Speaker A

There was a time in my life when I thought that meant something or proved something.

Speaker A

And so I would run around and say all kinds of profane things, including the F bomb.

Speaker A

And.

Speaker A

Oh, yeah, I did that a lot.

Speaker A

And I don't anymore.

Speaker A

I don't talk like that.

Speaker A

But I'm using that acronym.

Speaker A

Yes, because it gets attention.

Speaker A

Yes, because, ooh, a little shock.

Speaker A

Shock value.

Speaker A

But the reason is because it stands for four things that I think capture something important.

Speaker A

The world today, if you haven't noticed, I'm sure you have, is full of, like, noise.

Speaker A

Noise beyond noise.

Speaker A

Wow.

Speaker A

Right.

Speaker A

Unless you're watching the.

Speaker A

It's so much fun.

Speaker A

Okay, we have two channels.

Speaker A

We watch three, actually.

Speaker A

One set of channels is the cooking channels and real estate rehab channels.

Speaker A

You know, the fixer upper.

Speaker A

Things like that kind of thing.

Speaker A

We watch a lot of those.

Speaker A

So cooking channels Joy loves and, you know, beat Bobby Flay and Alex versus America and the Master Chef with different people and Hell's Kitchen and all that stuff.

Speaker A

Joy loves those.

Speaker A

So those are on in the background often.

Speaker A

Like, a lot of the hours of the day.

Speaker A

And I'm downstairs in the basement where I have three studios.

Speaker A

But every time I go up to say hi to my angel, my angel who walks on water, or to get lunch or to do anything, you know, they're playing usually, not always.

Speaker A

The other channel that we watch is.

Speaker A

I don't say watch that's on.

Speaker A

Is the one that Veronica watches, and she's our Ukrainian granddaughter, and she watches a lot of nature channels.

Speaker A

Like, I've learned more about the 72 most dangerous animals and things in Antarctica and Africa.

Speaker A

And, like, she watches those sometimes for hours, and she absorbs a lot of it.

Speaker A

And so that's on a lot.

Speaker A

The third one is occasionally we have the news on one or another news channel for a little bit, and it doesn't.

Speaker A

It's so stark.

Speaker A

The difference between one set of channels, you know, National Geographic or, you know, cooking or whatever, it's one sort of whole temperament.

Speaker A

And then as soon as you turn the news on, it's strident, it's noisy, it's alarmist, it's negative.

Speaker A

It doesn't matter what channel, Right?

Speaker A

And we live in that world where it's noisy, alarmist, negative.

Speaker A

That is hard on the soul.

Speaker A

So it makes us numb.

Speaker A

It numbs us.

Speaker A

We don't hear anything.

Speaker A

And so the F bomb is now part of the regular dialogue of society.

Speaker A

Everybody's telling everybody, f this and F that.

Speaker A

That's sad.

Speaker A

Nevertheless, I'm using that acronym to illustrate a point you have a message, I want to hear it.

Speaker A

Maybe you have a book, I want to read it.

Speaker A

You have.

Speaker A

If you don't have a book, I'd like to help you write one if that's of interest to you.

Speaker A

Then go to dreambuildriteit.com because I can help you get it written, published, and on a track to make 100k from your first book.

Speaker A

I know how to do that and I show lots of people in my seminars.

Speaker A

But anyway, so my point is this.

Speaker A

F U C K in this context stands for fierce, unapologetic, consistent and kind.

Speaker A

We did the fierce one a couple episodes ago.

Speaker A

We did unapologetic last time and today is consistent.

Speaker A

Okay.

Speaker A

It is easy to go somewhere, like I said earlier, to, you know, conference or church or rally or a workshop or a concert or a political march or a motivational event.

Speaker A

You know, in the church that I go to, there's a conference being held this coming weekend, general conference, and it's held in Salt Lake and broadcast all over the world.

Speaker A

And it's four two hour sessions and I watch a lot of them.

Speaker A

I really enjoy it because why?

Speaker A

Because it gets me fired up and recommitted and loving and, you know, in.

Speaker A

In love with my Savior and you and everybody.

Speaker A

It does all that.

Speaker A

And I know you go places like that too.

Speaker A

Maybe it's not religious and maybe it is.

Speaker A

Maybe it's a rally, maybe it's politics.

Speaker A

Maybe it's a workshop.

Speaker A

Maybe it's a business seminar where you go and you go, whoa, what ideas.

Speaker A

I can do this, you know, I can make my gazillions or get out of debt or pay my taxes or whatever.

Speaker A

And that's good.

Speaker A

The motivational events of all kinds are good.

Speaker A

Maybe you cry, maybe not.

Speaker A

Maybe that's like, yeah, I don't do that.

Speaker A

All right, maybe you declare.

Speaker A

Maybe you buy the shirt.

Speaker A

Maybe you fill pages with notes and quotes.

Speaker A

Maybe you post one or two or three pictures on Social and then Monday afternoon happens and you've got laundry and Wednesday morning a T mail and bills and a crappy, you know, a crappy piece of news.

Speaker A

Maybe you have bad sleep.

Speaker A

Nobody applauds.

Speaker A

So the question isn't who you are at the march or the rally, at the event.

Speaker A

The question is, how about Wednesday morning at 9:06?

Speaker A

How about that?

Speaker A

Okay?

Speaker A

Because that's where the rubber meets the road.

Speaker A

And one of the things I say is a phrase you've heard a million times.

Speaker A

But I live in the world of rubber meets the road.

Speaker A

Everything I do is grounded in reality.

Speaker A

Like, what do you do with this?

Speaker A

Because it's easy to philosophize at this level and talk about what could be, should be.

Speaker A

And here are the secret Wingilis to access the metaphysics of manifestation and Yo Mama production.

Speaker A

No, the question has got to be grounded.

Speaker A

It's got to be grounded in what do I do today?

Speaker A

How do I get actually out of my own way?

Speaker A

How do I get in gear, on the court, in the game on a consistent basis?

Speaker A

Because we all know what it's like to get punched in the face.

Speaker A

I think it was Mike Tyson that said, you know, everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the face.

Speaker A

And that's an easy phrase to say.

Speaker A

But I want to ask you for a minute.

Speaker A

When was the last time you got punched in the face?

Speaker A

Like, that's hard, it's immediate, it demands your attention.

Speaker A

I use that because I used to do a lot of martial arts, including sparring and competitive martial arts.

Speaker A

And I remember sparring against a person who was a couple degrees black belt more than me and younger and faster, and a spinning back kick landed on my jaw and broke a tooth.

Speaker A

And the thing about everybody's got a plan until you get punched in the face was like front and center.

Speaker A

And so, you know, Mike had to have a plan right then because it wasn't over.

Speaker A

That was just what happened right then.

Speaker A

And you don't say, okay, I quit.

Speaker A

You can, but that isn't what you do.

Speaker A

So the idea of everybody's got a plan till you get punched in the face has real weight for me.

Speaker A

But anyway, it all happens.

Speaker A

Life intervenes and smashes us around.

Speaker A

And so here's the thing I want you to remember.

Speaker A

Consistency is your identity made visible or mine.

Speaker A

So think about that.

Speaker A

Consistency is how we make who we say we are visible.

Speaker A

That doesn't mean doing the same action forever.

Speaker A

That's rigidity.

Speaker A

And it gets boring and stupid really fast.

Speaker A

But let me give you an example.

Speaker A

When I teach people about how to create yourself, people think of, okay, yeah, morning routine.

Speaker A

Yeah, I know, I know.

Speaker A

I'll get up and stand on the corner on your head for five minutes and meditate and then read a thing and do a thing and then, you know, okay, I know.

Speaker A

When I teach the thing, I change the name and I do it on purpose.

Speaker A

And I'll tell you why.

Speaker A

I call it the Daily Creation Process.

Speaker A

And it isn't the same thing.

Speaker A

I use the same acronym.

Speaker A

Spem.

Speaker A

Spiritual, Physical, Emotional, Mental, S P, E M. The reason that I Do is I have arbitrarily divided life into those areas.

Speaker A

Spiritual, physical, emotional, mental.

Speaker A

But what I do in each of those areas changes every single day.

Speaker A

I have 20 things that might be this one of, or two or three that I use in the spiritual area, in the physical and the emotional mental.

Speaker A

So I have a whole menu of things and I just be inspired about which one works.

Speaker A

Because the intent daily creation process is to have a good loaf of bread.

Speaker A

The intent is to be fully created, powerful, in love with you, with myself, excited about the day, no matter what it is today.

Speaker A

I gotta go right after this and get needles and they hurt like heck.

Speaker A

Needles.

Speaker A

I'm getting a radio frequency ablation.

Speaker A

Look that up.

Speaker A

Radio frequency ablation in the right side between discs or Spinal Vertebrae L5 and S1.

Speaker A

Because the disc is gone and it's hurting like heck.

Speaker A

And I'm scheduled for surgery in a few months, two or three months.

Speaker A

But in the meantime, it hurts.

Speaker A

So what they do is they kill the nerve, Nerves grow back.

Speaker A

I didn't know that.

Speaker A

But anyway, so I'm looking forward to that.

Speaker A

I already had one on the left side last week and, oh, man, does that hurt.

Speaker A

They stick needles in.

Speaker A

Yeah, they numb it, but it hurts because one of the needle sticks goes right in the nerve.

Speaker A

When that happened on the left side, I just about went through the ceiling anyway, so I'm looking forward to that right now, as soon as I get done.

Speaker A

But anyway, consistency means continuity.

Speaker A

It's how we show who we are in real life.

Speaker A

It means doing the same, following the same principles, getting to the same place of being, love, forgiveness, whatever, it is the same place of commitment, the same place of direction.

Speaker A

Your method can and will change.

Speaker A

Your schedule can and will change.

Speaker A

Your tactics can and will change.

Speaker A

But they, you know, they.

Speaker A

They will do that and they have to still produce the same outcome.

Speaker A

Because integrity doesn't.

Speaker A

Take Thursday off.

Speaker A

Love isn't a weekend's hobby.

Speaker A

Fierce ownership is not only for good days.

Speaker A

Service isn't.

Speaker A

When somebody notices, it's always spiritual connection.

Speaker A

That's not just during some kind of crisis.

Speaker A

And I say this, and I know that you know it in your heart, but I.

Speaker A

But I'm asking you, is your consistency where you want it?

Speaker A

Does your consistency need a consistency tune up?

Speaker A

That's funny.

Speaker A

Consistency is what turns whatever conviction you have into your character.

Speaker A

If I have to think about it before I do it, it isn't ingrained yet.

Speaker A

Now, if you watch, I don't know why, maybe because I click on them.

Speaker A

But in Facebook, when I'm scrolling for a minute about in stories.

Speaker A

I think it's stories.

Speaker A

Not sure of the name.

Speaker A

I see a lot of Seth or Steph, sorry, Steph Curry, the basketball player.

Speaker A

And I don't know, but I'm going, you know, I look at a few of those and I don't spend long time doing it, maybe five minutes.

Speaker A

I like volleyball and I like the ones from Steph Curry.

Speaker A

I'm not a basketball fanatic and I played it only casually and I wasn't particularly good.

Speaker A

But it continues to amaze me.

Speaker A

The kind of just lights out, close your eyes.

Speaker A

Things that shots that he makes, I've never seen.

Speaker A

I guess the world has never seen a shooter like Steph Curry.

Speaker A

And if you're a basketball freak and you think I'm crazy cool.

Speaker A

But anyway, I've never seen anything like it.

Speaker A

So that comes up a lot.

Speaker A

And he doesn't do a ritual to prepare for each shot.

Speaker A

His absolute bulletproof consistency in practice and practice and practice from any and everywhere on the court is what does what you see.

Speaker A

And that's true with a person that plays the piano.

Speaker A

I saw another thing that comes up a lot is piano.

Speaker A

I love jazz piano, so I click on those and I watch, you know, and I'm a pianist and I play really well.

Speaker A

But you know, when they show me some of these Chick Corea licks that are blistering fast, oh, I just drool with envy.

Speaker A

And I haven't put in time that he had to do that.

Speaker A

And so it still drools even though I can do 2/3 of it.

Speaker A

Can't do the real deal, right, because of consistency that he did and I didn't have it, so.

Speaker A

But I had enough, right?

Speaker A

And so I love it, love watching it, etc.

Speaker A

Etc.

Speaker A

Consistency is what turns your story into cash.

Speaker A

Consistency is what turns your desired state into real life.

Speaker A

So why it's part of this acronym.

Speaker A

You know that my message.

Speaker A

I have a message for 300 million people.

Speaker A

It's about WIPOs.

Speaker A

Your worth, identity, possibility, ownership, sovereignty.

Speaker A

And we've done episodes about all those.

Speaker A

And the method that I use or the manner, the presentation is where this F U C K comes from.

Speaker A

My message is fierce.

Speaker A

Not screaming, not loud, but it is fierce.

Speaker A

It is unapologetic.

Speaker A

I know who you are.

Speaker A

I know who I am.

Speaker A

We're divine beings and we're capable of so much more than the fanatic and crazy news presents of us.

Speaker A

And when I go visit the US we live in Canada.

Speaker A

It's not like it shows on the news doesn't feel like that, but it sure created like that for us on news channels, isn't it?

Speaker A

What a sad thing.

Speaker A

The third one is consistent.

Speaker A

And here's the reason.

Speaker A

If I'm not consistent, my piano skills don't go.

Speaker A

If I'm not consistent, my character isn't created.

Speaker A

If I'm not consistent, my visibility on social media doesn't go up.

Speaker A

If I'm not consistent, my relationship doesn't grow.

Speaker A

If I'm not consistent in my daily creation, not exactly doing the same thing at all, but the outcome, then my connection to power gets, you know, goes away.

Speaker A

Because consistency is what turns your conviction and belief into your character or who you are.

Speaker A

So let's move on to the next piece because remember, it's fierce, unapologetic, consistent and kind.

Speaker A

And this goes to exactly what I was saying about the morning ritual.

Speaker A

And I don't call it that because that's so cliche.

Speaker A

The dcp.

Speaker A

Write that on your forehead.

Speaker A

Daily creation process.

Speaker A

And if you don't have one and you just jump up and cruise into the day, phone in hand, coffee in the other.

Speaker A

Yeah, what is it?

Speaker A

I promise you're missing out on millions of people you could reach and millions of dollars.

Speaker A

Now if you don't care about that and you don't care about the impact, the millions you're leaving on the table.

Speaker A

People and dollars live long and prosper.

Speaker A

But if you do, consistency in your messaging and your creation will pay exponential dividends.

Speaker A

Okay, so the fourth letter of course is K. And consistency without kindness becomes rigidity.

Speaker A

And we all know rigid things break.

Speaker A

They're either bullies or they break under pressure.

Speaker A

Okay, here's the thing.

Speaker A

If somebody says I never miss, then they're sick and drag themselves through something foolish.

Speaker A

Or they ignore their needs of their child or punish their body or refuse to adapt because of discipline.

Speaker A

That's not mastery, that's stupidity.

Speaker A

I'll give you an example.

Speaker A

I say I never skip my morning creation and I never do.

Speaker A

But I absolutely adapt it to what's going on.

Speaker A

So for example, Friday at 8:00 p. M. I went last Friday to the ER because of trouble with my leg, my left leg.

Speaker A

I tore some muscles in the glute and it was bleeding and so it swelled up.

Speaker A

And you know what happens when you have muscle bleeds and it hurt like I couldn't walk on it at all.

Speaker A

And it was.

Speaker A

I was in a lot of pain.

Speaker A

So I went to the ER to see how bad the bleed was.

Speaker A

Because I am on Blood thinners.

Speaker A

And I was a little worried about internal bleeding.

Speaker A

So they gave me some pain and took some, you know, did some stuff to see.

Speaker A

So I was there from 8pm Friday night to about noon, 1 o' clock on Saturday.

Speaker A

So about 16, 17 hours.

Speaker A

Now what do you think I need to do when I go home?

Speaker A

Because I was awake that whole time.

Speaker A

I tried to labs alone a lot because of ERs like that.

Speaker A

You know, they come and do something and then they go away for three hours.

Speaker A

They come and poke you with an IV and take some blood, blah blah, blah, and they go away.

Speaker A

So, you know, I was laying my head down on the, on the stretcher that was next to me.

Speaker A

I was sitting in a chair because trying to lay down was way too painful for my leg.

Speaker A

So I didn't get up and do my morning routine the way I normally do.

Speaker A

When I got home at 1 in the afternoon, I slept.

Speaker A

And then I adapted it.

Speaker A

But what I also did is during those hours I was sitting alone in the hospital, I spoke my ptac, which is nine pages long and 3,000 words.

Speaker A

And yeah, I might be weird because they have it memorized, but I did it differently.

Speaker A

I did it slowly and carefully, chewing the words.

Speaker A

Why?

Speaker A

Partly to pass the time, partly to distract myself, but also mostly to live into the truth of adaptation and of asking the question, I'm here with hurt and pain and damage and injury.

Speaker A

What is the gift here?

Speaker A

So the consistency allowed me to do that and to get real value out of being in the ER and in pain.

Speaker A

Crazy, huh?

Speaker A

That is a way to adapt it.

Speaker A

Now, if you ignore something you shouldn't, or like stay in a building when it's burning, that's silly.

Speaker A

That's not mastery, that's enslavement to a ritual.

Speaker A

And that's the opposite kind.

Speaker A

Consistency asks this question, what's the principle of underneath the practice?

Speaker A

Which is what I ask and what I honored.

Speaker A

If my two hour practice became impossible as it did because I couldn't do any extra, I can do an honest adapted version.

Speaker A

Now I'm using this morning creation as an example, but it applies to everything.

Speaker A

I used to destroy myself not with exercise, but I had a story.

Speaker A

And the story was if I don't get up exactly at 5 o' clock and do this, this, this, this, get all this done and cram this in.

Speaker A

And then I, I suck.

Speaker A

I failed.

Speaker A

And inevitably, you know how it is when you're that rigid stuff get takes longer than you think.

Speaker A

You get tired for a minute, you get distracted for 10 or 15 minutes, and then you're behind.

Speaker A

And when I did that, I had what I called the eight ball feeling.

Speaker A

I'm always behind.

Speaker A

I'll never have you ever had that.

Speaker A

Oh, man.

Speaker A

So it's the principle.

Speaker A

Did you honor the principle?

Speaker A

Not go to zero.

Speaker A

That's like people who are on a diet, right?

Speaker A

Okay, I ate a donut.

Speaker A

Okay?

Speaker A

I might as well have 25 donuts.

Speaker A

That's not helpful.

Speaker A

Maybe you spend less time.

Speaker A

Maybe you adapt it.

Speaker A

Maybe you do it different.

Speaker A

Maybe full rest is the discipline choice.

Speaker A

When I went to bed Saturday night, I slept.

Speaker A

I was in bed for 11 hours, partly to heal, partly to sleep.

Speaker A

Consistency means.

Speaker A

And listen, I love this phrase.

Speaker A

Consistency means complete fidelity to the covenant and not worship of the choreography.

Speaker A

I love that phrase.

Speaker A

That's a keeper, right?

Speaker A

I want you to write that down.

Speaker A

Consistency means fidelity to the covenant and not worship of the choreography.

Speaker A

All right, so now let's talk about cadence.

Speaker A

I'd like to move deeper now than habit.

Speaker A

His habit is something we use to serve us.

Speaker A

Habit.

Speaker A

Habits make great servants, and they make horrifying masters.

Speaker A

Ask anyone who's struggled with any kind of a compulsion or addiction.

Speaker A

They make horrible masters.

Speaker A

All right, so here's what we need to talk about.

Speaker A

Consistency isn't primarily the gym attendance streak, or even though that's fun, or if you use, you know, you're doing one of those duolingo apps or Spanish apps or French or whatever.

Speaker A

How many days.

Speaker A

That isn't the primary goal, or the journaling streak, or the podcast upload streak, or the daily live streak, or the task list.

Speaker A

Okay, Consistency is.

Speaker A

What is it that needs to be done right now that is perfectly in line with who I am.

Speaker A

That's like when I get up to speak, and I do that a lot at events, I speak a lot.

Speaker A

I always have something prepared that I'm going to do.

Speaker A

And then I look at the audience I have been watching and seeing and feeling, and I make things sometimes different, sometimes a little and sometimes completely different based on who's there and what they need.

Speaker A

Sometimes fatigue changes things.

Speaker A

Sometimes opportunity changes things.

Speaker A

But I can tell you one thing.

Speaker A

When I get up and do that, I just did that at the conference I spoke at a few weeks ago, the ians International association for Near Death Studies.

Speaker A

I had a outline of a talk prepared, and I looked at the audience and I talked to many of them over the two days.

Speaker A

I was on Sunday, and it was a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, it was Sunday morning, and I had talked to many, and so things changed.

Speaker A

Because of what the audience was and what I'd learned.

Speaker A

And it was still consistent, completely consistent with the love, the message, what I knew had learned about dying and coming back, the things that they had come for.

Speaker A

But the presentation, the choreography was completely different.

Speaker A

I was completely in tune with and lined up with the principle and adjusted the choreography to make it work.

Speaker A

Consistency of spirit means the same essential me.

Speaker A

And I'm inviting you the same essence walks into the boardroom or the bedroom or the studio or the hospital or the airport or church or in conflict, in harmony, in good times and bad, I'm the same person, and everybody knows who knows me, knows who to expect.

Speaker A

That's consistency.

Speaker A

One little aspect of it is messaging.

Speaker A

So when I meet people first online, and lots of people I meet online, and I'm never going to meet in person, or at least I don't see that.

Speaker A

And sometimes I meet people online that I'm going to meet.

Speaker A

I know in a day, a week, a month, sometime in the future, I'm going to be at an event, and they are, too.

Speaker A

But one of the things I say is, you know, same dude every single day.

Speaker A

You see me or hear me or in person, and I invite you to think about that.

Speaker A

Because I used to think at work I was one way and at home I was another way.

Speaker A

And I used to think that was perfectly expected and normal.

Speaker A

And it's not.

Speaker A

The way we do one thing is the way we do everything.

Speaker A

If at work I'm professional and understanding and focused and clear, and I come home and I'm impatient or lazy or some other thing, one of them or both is fake.

Speaker A

And fakeness carries poison.

Speaker A

Everybody knows when we're being fake, right?

Speaker A

Your BS meter, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, goes off.

Speaker A

And then anything that person says or does is like, yeah, whatever.

Speaker A

That doesn't mean the behavior is identical.

Speaker A

But if you walk into a boardroom or a bedroom or a studio or the hospital or airport or church or a conference or a conversation with an employee or your partner, whether it's a hard combo or an easy one, whether it's after success or failure, is it the same coherent being with the same values, the same commitments?

Speaker A

That's consistency.

Speaker A

Now, I want to talk about something that is the eighth wonder of the world.

Speaker A

Einstein, I think, is the one credited with saying compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world.

Speaker A

Now, if you've ever talked to a financial advisor or someone that talks about infinite banking, where you be your own bank or any of those kinds of things, investments, and so Forth they all talk about compound interest and they talk about, you know, compounded daily and all that sort of thing.

Speaker A

And that sort of stuff's really important, the compounding interval and everything that's important and powerful and it adds up quickly.

Speaker A

What you find in compound interest is that the money you put away grows way faster than you think because you get interest on the interest and it keeps compounding.

Speaker A

And that's what compound interest is.

Speaker A

And I know, you know, that I want to talk about a different kind of compound interest.

Speaker A

And that's the compound interest of being.

Speaker A

What I notice in myself when I live this way and in others is that when we have jackets that we put on, okay, I'm this way at work and I put on a different jacket at home and I put on a different jacket when I go out with friends or, you know, if we be somebody that we somehow think is appropriate to the situation, you don't know who the hell you actually are.

Speaker A

We're fake in all those situations and we're behaving according to somebody else's expectation and that's exhausting.

Speaker A

It's not necessary and you're worn out.

Speaker A

On the other hand, when you know and you've declared who you are, then you have a compounding effect.

Speaker A

That doesn't happen when you don't, when you have these different jackets.

Speaker A

One act rarely changes a life.

Speaker A

It happens occasionally, but rarely.

Speaker A

Repeated acts do and they compound.

Speaker A

And I'm talking a little bit abstractly, but let me give you an example.

Speaker A

If I choose to tell the truth and I use this example because I used to lie all the time.

Speaker A

I was a pathological liar.

Speaker A

I lied to everybody all the time to manage the frame and get the outcome I thought I wanted.

Speaker A

And I got really good at it.

Speaker A

And it's embarrassing to admit, but it's true.

Speaker A

And that was many, many years ago, but it was real the first time.

Speaker A

You tell the truth in a difficult situation and it's difficult and it's scary and you do that isn't going to change things forever, but it makes the next one slightly easier and, and the next one slightly easier.

Speaker A

And what happens then is the effect compounds.

Speaker A

In other words, it becomes easier faster than you think and pretty soon it becomes your character.

Speaker A

Mine is that an eye, personal witness to that about the truth telling piece and other things.

Speaker A

Another thing that that can apply to that I know is forgiveness.

Speaker A

I used to tie forgiveness to apologies and I wasn't forgiven unless somebody said I was or I couldn't forgive somebody unless they apologized and had all these rules.

Speaker A

Then I learned that forgiveness is something I do, Period.

Speaker A

I can grant it, just like a presidential pardon.

Speaker A

I can choose to no longer let acts or events in the past have power in the present.

Speaker A

The first time I did that, or chose to do it, it was hard.

Speaker A

It was a struggle.

Speaker A

Questions of worthiness and who deserved what, and somebody deserved to pay.

Speaker A

And all that sort of dialogue went on in my mind as I repeatedly practiced it.

Speaker A

It became easier and easier.

Speaker A

And the compounding means it gets easier really fast.

Speaker A

And it's fun because now, today, as I live, I live with nothing.

Speaker A

I hold nothing against anyone for any reason.

Speaker A

I have nothing to carry.

Speaker A

And I forgive everything that happens immediately.

Speaker A

Everybody, everything, all the time.

Speaker A

And it's just light and easy.

Speaker A

And I'm not pretending to be perfect by any stretch.

Speaker A

But that's the place of consistency.

Speaker A

If you practice anything.

Speaker A

I'm thinking of piano.

Speaker A

Now back to my jazz example.

Speaker A

The more you practice, the more you get good at it.

Speaker A

And the improvement compounds, gets exponential.

Speaker A

If you tell the truth repeatedly.

Speaker A

If you practice love, if you practice keeping promises.

Speaker A

I want to talk about that one for a minute.

Speaker A

I have a little phrase in some of my talks I call a billion dollar phrase, a billion dollar secret.

Speaker A

And I'm going to give it to you right now.

Speaker A

It's called I said it, I did it, I said it, I did it.

Speaker A

And what that means is whatever it is that comes out of your mouth, whether you say it to yourself in your head or to someone else, you do it.

Speaker A

And that sounds simple enough and obvious.

Speaker A

I keep my word.

Speaker A

Of course I do.

Speaker A

No, you don't.

Speaker A

You lie to yourself all the time.

Speaker A

You promise yourself you're going to do stuff, then you don't.

Speaker A

Well, I keep my word to other people.

Speaker A

I don't care.

Speaker A

Keeping your word to yourself is the most important thing, period.

Speaker A

No exceptions, no excuses.

Speaker A

You can argue with me all you want, but anyway, here's.

Speaker A

I said it, I did it.

Speaker A

When people say, well, I'm trying really hard, we're going about it wrong.

Speaker A

I'm going to give you the.

Speaker A

The secret to master this.

Speaker A

Shrink the promises.

Speaker A

Shrink the promises.

Speaker A

When you're learning to do this shrink, shrink them and shrink them so small that it becomes easy.

Speaker A

The promises you make, whether they're especially to yourself or to others, tiny enough that you absolutely do them.

Speaker A

So that I said it, I did it, becomes the cadence and truth of your life because it's really easy to grow the promises.

Speaker A

And when I said it, I did it.

Speaker A

Starting with the Tiniest of promises, especially to yourself, you keep them.

Speaker A

You can have anything you want.

Speaker A

And I'm looking you right in the eyes and saying that you can.

Speaker A

You can have whatever you want.

Speaker A

Purpose, prosperity and joy.

Speaker A

When I said it, I did it is the truth of your life.

Speaker A

You can have whatever you want.

Speaker A

All the money, all the influence, all the power.

Speaker A

And I'm a witness to that because of.

Speaker A

I practice it.

Speaker A

I said it, I did it.

Speaker A

So that happens with exercise.

Speaker A

It happens with prayer.

Speaker A

It happens with hearing or feeling, inspiration or intuition.

Speaker A

It happens with loving people.

Speaker A

It happens with creation.

Speaker A

It happens with sales to grow your cash, sales, conversations.

Speaker A

It happens if you're writing, you know, I love writing.

Speaker A

Written a bunch of books, 20 something.

Speaker A

It happens with service.

Speaker A

It becomes the architecture of your being.

Speaker A

You don't have to think about it anymore.

Speaker A

And nobody sees it.

Speaker A

And that doesn't matter.

Speaker A

You're not.

Speaker A

We're not doing this to impress anybody.

Speaker A

We're doing it out of a conscious choice of who we are.

Speaker A

That's why worth, identity, possibility, ownership, sovereignty is so near and dear to my heart.

Speaker A

I've chosen and I've experienced the joy that comes from that.

Speaker A

I want to share it with you.

Speaker A

And that's the point.

Speaker A

People don't need to see it.

Speaker A

Radical excellence is boring as hell from the outside.

Speaker A

The.

Speaker A

And here's another phrase.

Speaker A

Write this down.

Speaker A

The spectacular is usually accumulated ordinary stuff.

Speaker A

The spectacular is usually accumulated ordinary.

Speaker A

I'll go back to Steph Curry.

Speaker A

His spectacular shots are the accumulation of an insane amount of ordinary stuff.

Speaker A

Okay?

Speaker A

Now let's go to the inevitable, which is what happens when you miss because nobody's perfect.

Speaker A

And all the stuff that I've said about what I practice and do or what I coach people on or whatever about making more money, growing your business, how you show up, telling the truth, taking care of your body, creating yourself in the morning, all those things.

Speaker A

We're never perfect.

Speaker A

And that's okay.

Speaker A

Okay?

Speaker A

And here's a phrase you can write down.

Speaker A

It's fun.

Speaker A

Those who dare greatly fail greatly.

Speaker A

So carry a big blanket of forgiveness.

Speaker A

What I used to do is I created every failure as a monster indictment.

Speaker A

The screaming voices from the balcony, in the aisles, in the peanut gallery.

Speaker A

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker A

And all that does is discourage you and rip you down.

Speaker A

Rip you down.

Speaker A

Turn down people turning you down when you make proposals and saying no, when you're trying to have sales convos and when you're trying to learn to tell the truth or create yourself or go to the gym or whatever it is and you miss or diet or anything.

Speaker A

You know that voice.

Speaker A

Burn it down.

Speaker A

Consistency can happen in spite of missing because your consistency can become power or it can become shame.

Speaker A

So you miss.

Speaker A

Then what?

Speaker A

The old model is you break the streak, you're a failure.

Speaker A

You have self attack and then abandonment.

Speaker A

Break the streak, you are a failure.

Speaker A

Stomp, loser.

Speaker A

Right?

Speaker A

Then you attack yourself and you abandon the goal because it's too dangerous.

Speaker A

Because that attack feels horrible.

Speaker A

So here's the truth, the possibility.

Speaker A

I won't say the truth.

Speaker A

The possibility for you in the sovereign model, the model where you take control of your life, you notice you.

Speaker A

You fail, you break the streak, you notice, you tell the truth, you forgive, you evaluate, make some adjustments and recommit.

Speaker A

Now that's a long thing.

Speaker A

What I say in my PTAC is whenever I fall or fail in any commitment, I get up, fess up, clean it up and recommit.

Speaker A

Simple.

Speaker A

Notice the mistake, tell the truth yourself and whoever matters.

Speaker A

Forgive, evaluate what happened, make whatever adjustments necessary, and then get back on the horse.

Speaker A

You're done.

Speaker A

No ceremony, no January 1st, no Monday.

Speaker A

No.

Speaker A

I blew it.

Speaker A

Just recommit.

Speaker A

That's consistency.

Speaker A

Now, my work right now is direct, consistent, motivated action every day until something ships and keeping service central rather than ego.

Speaker A

Now here's what I want you to do.

Speaker A

Pick one conviction, one commitment to yourself, not ten something that you claim matters.

Speaker A

Just one thing.

Speaker A

And then I want you to ask yourself, what does that commitment look like on an ordinary Wednesday morning?

Speaker A

What is it on an ordinary Wednesday?

Speaker A

Not at a conference or after a breakthrough or not when you're inspired, but Wednesday morning, what is that?

Speaker A

And then see to it that that happens.

Speaker A

Fierce gets you moving.

Speaker A

Unapologetic keeps you from asking permission to be you.

Speaker A

Consistency makes it real every day, even after failure.

Speaker A

And kindness, of course, makes sure you don't destroy yourself or everybody around you while proving how disciplined you are.

Speaker A

Your convictions and mine have to survive those ordinary Tuesday afternoons.

Speaker A

I love you.

Speaker A

You have every right and capability to live in purpose, prosperity and joy and to just joyfully bask in your ultimate life.
