The ONLY 3 Paths to Mastery to Achieve Anything You Want in Life

Michael Jordan's one of my clients this is why he is a six times national champion no one's done this he won three championships in a row in NBA basketball he then retired and came back and won three times a row again but what was his secret he made it look so easy Michael make 500 shots a day every single practice and he would do two practices a day he had to make a thousand shots a day before he go to sleep every single day that's 6,000 practice shots a week that's 24,000 a month that's 288,000

shots a year that's 4.3 million practice shots in his 15year career he made 4 million practice shots to make 24,000 real shots that is how you get good at something how many of you have ever gone to an environment could be University environment could have been a seminar where you learned something you thought was important you thought it was valuable no one was selling you and then you went home and did nothing I found that knowledge is not power people talk about knowledge all the time knowledge is potential power the real power is in our

execution so what I've been obsessed about for about a I guess now this will be my 47th year I started when I was two right but in 47 years I could be an idiot if I didn't notice there are patterns patterns that'll make you angry sad frustrated overwhelmed patterns that'll make you passionate driven excited fulfilled grateful and once we understand that we are not our patterns that it's just something we learned along the way we think it's us cuz we've been doing it so long it's actually very easy to change a pattern hard to change

yourself and you don't have to I didn't come by here to change you I want to walk you through then how we get to the result that you really want what we're going to do is show you how to take the tools that control the way you think and feel directly when people think about their goals I don't know about you but I would be frustrated myself for so many years because I'd have these huge goals and then I wouldn't achieve them or I'd approach them but not where I want or I'd go to a

seminar and i' learn something really valuable and then not apply it so then I beat myself up and it doesn't serve you because when you beat yourself up your energy goes up or down what would you say down or up down and when your energy goes down you don't take action and then one day I started working with athletes and then I got to work with some of the greatest athletes in the world and one of the things I noticed was they didn't think I should learn something once and then it was there the greatest

athletes in the world understand one thing repetition is power today in society we've heard something once and we think we know it if you're not doing it you don't know it I literally took a speed reading course and I said I'm going to read a book a day I didn't do that but in seven years I read 700 books in the area of human development psychology physiology anything I can make a difference but then I got jaded cuz I like heard all the stories I'd heard this before and when you have that mindset you lose

your Edge but I was just burnt and a reason I was burnt is I wasn't really applying it I had knowledge without execution and so I started looking at these athletes and going okay what makes this person the best in the world they're doing the same thing they know over and over and over and over and over again that's what makes you a master so I caught myself and I shifted my whole life and then I noticed something else I need a repetition to be a master of something I need to get myself excited to

do something that's the same but find a way to do it better every time not just go get new more stuff but one of the things that most of us still miss is it's not just practicing it's practicing giving your all just practicing won't do it it's like being there in the experience over and over and over again so I tell people if you see someone who's truly successful at anything and you think they're better than you are they are not better than you are they may know something you don't know but more importantly you

get rewarded in public for what you practice constantly in private I can't get across to you enough how my life changed when I stopped saying I know it cuz I'd heard something or I understood it if you want to master anything you go through three stages the first stage is cognitive Mastery cognitive Mastery simply means you understand it and you know what understanding doesn't give you anything and yet you have to understand first to make progress well the second step of Mastery is when you go beyond understanding and you have enough repetition and it becomes

more like emotional Mastery that's where you feel it you don't just think it and when you feel it now you tend to do it a lot more but in order to get that you need repetition and you need energy now you guys are awesome your energy is already there but you don't want to let it drop so if we have energy with it our body retains it CU information without emotion is barely retained when there's a lot of emotion you'll remember it's that simple so we're going to create emotion by motion I don't believe in

positive thinking I believe in intelligence intelligence means you see things as they are you don't BS yourself you don't lie to yourself but you also don't make it worse than it is so you don't try most people make it worse than it is cu they don't want to be disappointed they don't want to fail now if you can see things as they are not worse than they are accurately then you have to do the Second Step which is you do have to see it better than it is you need a vision and the good it

says without a vision people perish no matter what your religion or mindset or non-religion is there's truth in that without something to look forward to it's hard to deal with challenges if you improve you 10% it will more than make up for every challenge you could face and you can do a lot more than 10% get yourself in the place where you make the distinctions but you get them in your body cuz the third step the final step is physical Mastery physical Mastery is you don't have to think about it you just do it it's

in your body it's like I don't know if any of you had this experience but when I first started to drive a stick shift car when I was 16 I remember the guys like do this and this and this and look at the rear view mirror too and I'm like it'll never work it's too much but after a while it's inside you It Gets In Your Body by repetition and now you can drive the car and chew gum and think about something else and talk on the cell phone and hopefully not text but all those

at once can't you because it's in your body for the last well 47 years I've been obsessed by a question what makes the difference in the quality of people's lives why is it some people you can give them everything they can have a great family they can have a great education they can have great economics and they find theirself living in and out of a rehab and then someone else they were abused physically mentally emotionally whatever they had no advantages and yet somehow it created a hunger in them that made them so driven they found

the answers and now they're the people whose names you know it's not just intelligence I believe intelligence is a huge benefit I love wickedly smart people but how many of you know some very smart people that can't fight their way out of a paper bag on a daily basis say I if you want to know the real secret to success I give to you in one word hunger the hungry people always find the way to Victory I don't mean hungry to succeed for the weekend or to make it into your swimsuit or to make a

certain amount of money I mean hunger to be more do more more create more give more share more a hunger that doesn't go away the people that have that kind of hunger even if you have no resources you'll find them you will get them [Music] [Music]
