Make a development plan. Make a development plan. Make a development plan. You are the learning development officer in your life. Not someone in hr, not your old teachers. You are. And for those who have been with me for so long, you know I say this all the time. If I parachuted into your house today, here I come.
Watch out.
If Brendan showed up in your house today and we opened up another tab and we opened up your calendar and I stepped through your calendar for the next six months, is it terribly obvious to me what you are working on, what skills you're trying to develop what projects you're trying to complete, to stretch yourself, to grow yourself. Or is every day another reaction day? Because, listen, if every day is another reaction day, you are in a fixed mindset. Write it down. If every day is another reaction day, you're in a fixed mindset. You stopped believing in big projects that would require you to schedule stuff out. You stopped thinking, what skills must I master to grow? Because you're just trying to handle all the problems. Remember, you're stuck in one signal of problems. So, development plan. What does that mean? What's the next five books you're going to read? What are they? Here's the difference. If you know you have books and a development plan, or you just have books, okay, if you have a development plan, you know the next five books you're going to read. Why? Because you began with an outcome, not just chasing down a bestseller or an interest or what showed up in your inbox. You said, I'm trying to develop this skill of public speaking. So your next five books are on public speaking. I'm trying to grow my business. Your next five books on scaling the business. I'm trying to improve my marriage. Next five books on your marriage. Now, obviously, I'm using books as a metaphor, but maybe that books is online courses. Maybe that books is online live casts like this. Maybe that books is podcasts. What is my development plan? What are the conferences, the courses, the events, the trainings, the virtual online in person? Who are my mentors? What are the resources I'm gonna stack up and when am I gonna consume them?
Hey, it's Brendan, and I wanna jump in the middle of this episode here real quick and tell you about something I'm really excited about and something that answers a question that many of you.
Have for me all the time, which.
Is, Brendan, where do you get this crazy focus and energy in your life? And the truth is, I've developed a supplement line that really helps me do that.
And.
And frankly, I needed to. I don't know about you, but sometimes when you're trying to achieve big things, a lot of stress comes along. And as you're trying to achieve bigger things, you need to be on your A game more often. You need to be mentally sharp, you need to be mentally prepared. You need to be mentally energized and productive. And not once in a while, but like every day, you have to be on. And sometimes guzzling more coffee isn't gonna do it. You have to use what we call nootropics, which are, you know, basically Supplements that help optimize your brain. And yes, we have a product for exactly that. It's called HPEX Optimized, and it is our most popular product. And you can get it. It's back in stock@HPX wellness.com that's HPX wellness.com you'll find HPX optimized for your mental focus and energy there. You'll also find my favorite powdered energy drink that we created, this 100% one, organic and vegan.

And you will feel the difference. Go to HPX Wellness.com right now. HPX Wellness.com.
Please listen. Please listen. Let me break down development plan for you.
Ready?
Number one, outcome. What am I trying to grow into? What am I trying to improve? What am I trying to make happen? See, a growth mindset needs you to cast out an outcome. Growth mindset doesn't just say, I'm good, I can learn. No, there's an objective. I'm going to get better at that test. I'm going to improve that marriage. I'm going to lose that ten pounds. I'm going to be more active and there's something there. There's an outcome. Then we work backwards. Okay, what must I learn to grow into that outcome? What must I learn about myself? What skills must I develop? What can I learn from other people? You know, every outcome I've ever after in my life, I read biographies of people who already achieved that outcome. I buy books that are specifically built for that outcome. I follow, listen or consume content or courses or trainings like this from people who already achieved that outcome. And I listen how they think, I listen to what they do. And I, most importantly, on top of outcome, right? Number I said development plan, number one, outcome. Number two, what must I learn? What must I learn? Okay, what must I learn? Number three, how will I learn it? How will I learn it? Books, podcasts, following this person, going to these conferences, engaging virtually like this. But number four, and here it is. This is why I brought up the calendar. Notice Brendan, the little productivity kid, getting excited about this calendar thing. Come on, people. I know it's weird, but listen, it's got to show up in your calendar. You don't have a development plan even if you have a full shelf of books. Let me say it out loud for a hallelujah. You don't have a development plan. Just because you have your full shelf of books. When will you read what? When will you take what? When will you try what? A development plan is fundamentally fixed in its success based on scheduling. I know that's not sexy, so let me make it sexy. Raise your hand if you're grateful for life. Raise your hand if you're grateful for life. Raise both hands if you have people to serve, who you love and lead, you want to serve and add great value to people you love and lead. Amen. If you're grateful for life. Okay, here's the greatest breakthrough I ever had. If you are really grateful for life, if you have reverence for life, you really care about time management. If you believe life is precious, clearly you know it's also short. So now you deeply care about the time that you spend on things. And time becomes something that you are consistently managing towards experiencing, living, setting up so that life is valuable.
Like, if we're happy to be alive.
We'Re like, God, thank you for this time I have on earth. Notice that. God, thank you for this time I have on earth. Don't you think you'd ever go use it well, you know what I'm saying? So you're not developing yourself if it's.
Not in the calendar.
You're hoping you grow. You can't keep hoping you grow. You must grow. How do you do that? It's in the schedule.
