Feel the Day to Win the Day

Leaders, your number one job right now is to deal with the discouragement in this world and to be the power plant that transforms that low level of doubt, division, discouragement, negativity, pessimism. When people are drowning in pools of pessimism, it takes the leader to pull them up and show them the future. Give some optimism, show them your fire again. Some of you leaders, what happens is you get too casual because you're successful. And you think casual will drive, it won't. You gotta lean back in and put that performance edge back. You gotta sparkle with the hunger again. You want to get the energy back. Simple, simple metaphor. You can't win the day if you don't feel the day. Everyone talks about, win the day, win the day. Well, a lot of people win the day. You know how many successful people I work with who win all the time, who are miserable? They're winning, but they're not feeling it. As you get small wins in life, you gotta integrate those wins into your identity and know that you're a strong person. As you win in life, you gotta make sure you feel and celebrate that day and sense it. I'm a simple guy, so I'll tell you that if you want to know everything about me, one metaphor I learned this long time ago about energy. The power plant, right? Power plants that create all the energy around the world. The power plant doesn't have energy. The power plant actually generates energy. All the engineer geeks, don't worry, I'll qualify. What the power plant does is it transforms and transmits energy. What does that mean? Well, the power plant takes energy from one lower level of utilization and powers it up, transforms it, and then transmits it out. That's your life now. Your job is to take the low level of energy that this world is dishing up and you power it up. You bring feeling and joy and you transmit that in the world. You don't wait for the world to turn perfect before you generate the energy of your life. You go, now, now, now. You gotta feel the day again. Do you know that the world's biggest study on productivity ever of all time found that the highest performing, most successful people in 190 countries around the world? So every culture in the world, the most successful people in the world, they take a break every 50 minutes. 52 was the exact study. Now you think, no, no, no, Brandon, I don't need a break every 50 minutes. I'm a Formula One race car. I can go all day. I go, oh, did you ever watch the F1s? What do they Do. The high performance vehicle can go all day, can run the entire race, but it doesn't. It takes the Pit Stop. The what? It takes the Pit stop to refuel, to reset, to recalibrate the performance of the machine. And then it goes, which allows it to go longer, faster. Many of you are burned out. You go all day. No break. No break for water. No break for meditation. No break for yoga. No break to stretch. No break to walk around the house. No break to feel the energy of God. No break at all. You just burn and you burn and you burn. And you know what? You might become successful, but you also become miserable. Do you know why I'm famous in this industry? You might not know it, but ask Ed Milet who's coming tomorrow. Who's excited about some Ed Milet. Ask Tony, ask Oprah. Ask. They'll all say the exact same thing. I'm this annoying in real life. And what I mean by that is just gonna. I've been happy every day since God gave me that ticket. I've been happy. Not because it's easy, but because the alternative sounds like it sucks. At some point you go, I'm gonna earn this. I'm gonna build happiness leaders in this room. If you're not showing your network that you're happy, that you're living your authentic life, that you're joyous, why would they aspire to get it? Why would anyone follow or be influenced by somebody who's not joyous about this opportunity to serve? Cause that's what you guys have. You're not. Listen, you're not peddling some stupid products here. You're changing families, lives. A ripple effect that will go on for generations when you do your work. You got it. You gotta take that seriously. That's someone to fight for. Is that ripple effect you get to have. You gotta celebrate it and feel it and make it real. Leaders, your number one job right now is to deal with the discouragement in this world and to be the power plant that transforms that low level of doubt, division, discouragement, negativity, pessimism. When people are drowning in pools of pessimism, it takes the leader to pull them up and show them the future. Give some optimism, show them your fire again. Some of you leaders, what happens is you get too casual because you're successful and you think casual will drive. It won't. You gotta lean back in and put that performance edge back. You gotta sparkle with the hunger again. For them, not for you. You're good. You got a car, you got a house, you got the kids. You got a yacht, you know how to go to vacations. You. You bought a suite at the MGM versus the regular room or whatever people do with their money. I don't know. I buy burritos. I already told you, it's nothing fancy. I need you to lean back in. Get that hunger and that drive in your eyes. Leaders, you've got to do that to build the field. If you don't have that, if they don't see that, you're fired up and the joy is there, the passion is there for them, you won't build. And right now, everyone's trying to be cool and casual. What it really means is they're disengaged and they want to put on a professional atmosphere of disengagement called casualness. Lean back in. Allow yourself to dork out. Allow yourself to get fired up. Get excited with your spouse and your partner again, like you were when you made the first seven figures. You got to get there again. That's what's going to build this thing.
