Foreign. Hey, my friends, it's Brendon Burchard and welcome to the Brendan Show. This is a podcast about helping you reach high performance in your life, in every area of your life. It's about staying more motivated, more confident, more disciplined and on purpose. You know, the high performance experience is really about feeling more vibrant, more connected, more excellent, more fulfilled in your life. But it's also challenging you because you and I both know it's difficult to reach those levels of high performance without support, without ongoing commitment and dedication to your own personal development. So welcome to our HPX community. Thank you for joining us here on the Brendon Show. I'm super pumped for today's episode. Before we begin, I want to let you know that we have specials right now on our HPX nutrition line. If you didn't know it, I rolled out three specific products to help you with your performance. These are three specific supplements that will really give you the edge. Now, don't worry, I'm not starting an MLM or a downline. I'm not asking you to promote any of my products. And frankly, just like you, there's a lot of different companies and a lot of different products that I love and I enjoy and I'm not trying to compete with. It was specifically, I could not find three world class supplements that specifically helped me in these areas. So we've got HPX Optimize, which is a mental focus and energy product for your brain health. Then we've got Essentials, which is a functional multivitamin which we've basically enhanced for longevity, for joint health and for vitality and digestion. But what we did, instead of like making a multivitamin where they sprinkled a million different things in there that actually have no effect, we put in dosages here that you'll be amazed by. And then finally we've got HPX Organic Boost, which is the energy drink mix that I take because it's 100% organic. Organic. It's actually delicious too, I have to tell you that. So go check it out. Hpxwellness.com, everything you need to know is right there. And if you've ever wanted to know how to reach the high performance experience in terms of your biology and physiology, these products can really support you. Go to hpxwellness.com and without further ado, onto today's episode.
Number one, no matter what you do do get around high performers more consistently. The biggest difference that ever happened in my career for me personally, and it may or may not be right for You? I joined high end masterminds. It was something I made a decision on early because everyone who was on a stage talked about masterminds, they talked about private groups. I heard it over and over and I said, I don't know what that is, but I'm going to jump in. And I joined them. And I just want to let you know whether you ever joined mine or somebody else's, whatever you do, get yourself around a network and a community and small groups of high achievers, no matter what that means. It means if you volunteer with some folks and it's free, great. If it's some folks from your church, great. But you gotta find the highest caliber of the groups that you can and get around them multiple times a year. Would you do that? Yes. With or without me, my group, someone else's group, I don't really care. I just know it is so important for productivity. Cause listen, you're more productive when you have the right strategies. You're more productive when you have the right doors opening. You have more productive when you know what to do and what not to do. And sometimes the only way to get that is the wisdom and support of other people. It's why I'm insanely passionate about my mastermind. If that's right for you or someone else's or private groups, whatever, some of you are just gonna go and group up and keep in touch with each other. No matter what you do to be more productive, get around high achievers, high performers, if you do that, life changes. It's why I'm here is because I was in mastermind groups where I learned, it accelerated my learning, it gave me greater access, it opened doors, it unlocked parts of my mind, it grew my ambition, it made me a better overall contributor. It changed my life. I hope you'll think about joining it. Second thing I did to become more productive. So again, number one, join high end groups. Number two, and this was huge for me, it's the greatest single productivity thing that I know of outside of all the little frameworks I gave you. And that is to double down on your conviction. Conviction leads to productivity. Conviction leads to breakthroughs. When you believe in your message, you believe in what you're doing and you share that with absolute heart or absolute joy or, or absolute fire. And you share it with that. No matter. It's three people, five people, a group of 1,000, a group of 50. But you show up congruent with what you believe and you feel it in your heart and you're willing to be passionate about it. That conviction makes you more productive. It makes you more productive Monday through Friday. It also gets you more support, more investors, more believers, more buyers. You gotta teach yourself to bring the joy. But you also have to teach yourself to bring the fire, to unleash that part of you that is passionate about what you do. And everyone has different sides of them. I can be heartfelt, passionate. I don't have to jump around and be a clown up here. I can just stay centered, stay grounded, access my heart, drop it way down, not have to speak so fast and still tell you that I deeply care about you succeeding in life. And it is the joy of joy just standing here, getting to serve you. I hope you feel it every moment, every day, every hour that we have been together. I love you guys and I appreciate you being here at hba. Appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. Conviction, it can sound however it can sound. But when you see conviction, it moves you. Even if you don't believe in the message they're sharing. You hear that conviction, it moves you. Even if it's not your thing, you see it, you wanna support it, you wanna cheer it on. Things change. And you gotta be having that conviction for your path forward. When you feel conviction in the morning, you get more done each day. Yes. When you can feel conviction for who you are, you get more done. Cause you feel like you're living in.
Alignment with who you are.
When you speak with conviction, people wanna surround you, they wanna follow you, they wanna buy into you and invest in you, believe in you, help build your wealth, your message, your work in the world. It's conviction.

What I thought I'd show you is an example of that. One of my favorite examples, one of my favorite examples, I happened to come across this person years ago. And I remember at some point he did something that I just. It's still one of my favorite things to watch, to motivate myself. Because what do you get motivated by, like, I love watching this one clip. And it's this unbelievable clip of this person who showed so much conviction and range in their conviction. And this person appeared on this show and they performed, and in basically three different acts, three different songs, showed so much range and conviction, but real presence and fire behind what they were doing. I was like, whoa, this person is going to be huge. I mean. I mean, this. The whole world's going to know this person. And at the time, this person had pretty much everything stacked against him. He's a rapper, but he's white from Seattle. And I thought, good luck. But he did this thing called NPR's tiny desk. Y' all know Tiny Desk and what this is. Let me set it for you so you can watch this. What this person did. NPR's Tiny Desk. If you don't know, NPR's National Public Radio here in the United States, it's a publicly funded news and radio organization that puts out great programming that's free from all that crap that we see out there in the entertainment world today. It's so great. So anyway, NPR's famous music editor said, you know what would be cool is if I invited some up and coming stars and huge celebrities to come into our office at the NPR offices and just set up in my little cubicle and perform for us, and we record it and put it on the Internet. Now, in the office, there's only like 10, 15, 20 people. But he would invite in huge names. I mean, Adele would come in. I mean, the biggest names in all music would come in, and they'd literally set up in this tiny. It's a cubicle, a work cubicle. It's like a little table, some high things, a bunch of bookshelves, and they would perform. But it became huge on the Internet because it's so raw, right? When you see a musician perform for a thousand people or, you know, tens of thousands of people in an arena, it's a performance and you know that. But when you see them bring conviction to five or 10 people, it feels different, and it is magical to watch. I really believe your next big breakthroughs will come from you speaking with more conviction, whether it's one person, five people, a thousand people, 10,000 people. I spoke like this when my audiences were 26 people. Like this, this much fire, this much readiness, hopefully this much presence. And I just wanted them to win and succeed in the world. I did it with 2,000. I do it with 10,000, 30,000, 40,000 arenas. I just feel like you've got to give conviction to no matter the size. I don't care if you got just your two children. Give them the joys of seeing mom with conviction. Give them the joys of seeing somebody with real fire and heart and presence in them. Whatever your message, whatever your work. All right.
