Day 12: Worldview...

Your worldview. Boy, this is such a big. I mean, they're all big parts of Built Elite, right? But I think for the six pack and kicking it off with your worldview, there's a lot of confusion about it when people start the build to lead process. So here's my melody line on worldview and just hear me out and listen to me rant about it and then ask me questions. Bring it to practice and let it stir some thinking within you. First off, it's important to know there's no right or wrong way to start to Author your version 1.0 of your worldview. The goal is for you to write out your I believe statements. I believe this, I believe that. And you can pick anything you want. Topics on anything about trust, love, friendship, money, performance, family, your future, insecurities. There's no right or wrong. Pick something. Fear. What do you believe about confidence? What do you believe about when someone breaks your trust? This is so important for you to write these out. And I want to take you back to your childhood. Because everything that you started to believe in your life came from either your parents or whoever raised you, period. They were brainwashing you to think the way they want you to think. Whether it was about the way you should act, the way you should be, the way you should treat people, the way you. Whatever it is. And as you got older, it started to change. That influence from your parents or whoever was raising you started to change. Maybe it was your teachers, the school you went to, your friends start to influence you. Maybe it's your religion, the community, whatever it is that heavily influenced you in your life were planting thoughts in your head that have become so ingrained in who you are that you forgot to think about what you believe because you believe it. And you think you believe things. But when you start this exercise and you start writing out the things that you really believe because you stop to think about it, which for most people will never do that. It is transformational. I watched employees come into my office and start their worldview and stick to it. And I watched the most insecure, beaten up individuals become the most confident leaders. Some who ended up on my executive leadership team that started off making 12 bucks an hour in my company. That's how powerful the worldview. And you combine that with your opus and your other pieces of your six pack. And the reason being is because, again, going back to things we've talked about before, which is you need to become your own biggest influence if you want to be successful. Otherwise, you're going to be A sheep in the herd. And you're going to believe what other people want you to believe and not even be aware of it. And I don't know about you, but I don't want to live that way. And the fact that we're controlled by marketing and advertisers who have scientifically figured out how to create the dopamine in us, to give us that feeling that our phone's ringing when it's not even ringing, to hear the beeping of notifications when it's the middle of the night because people are sleeping with their phones by their pillow. Whatever your case is, doing the worldview put you on the right path to become your own biggest influence. And I want to share a couple nuances to it that will help you. One is that when you write out a statement for your worldview, it doesn't mean it's black or white. There is an and and a, however, that can be attached at the end of your worldview statements. Because there's always exceptions, because everything about leadership is a contradiction. And nothing is always going to be a certain way or never a certain way. The only time I will use the word always and never is when you start writing about maybe your faith. You know, I believe there's a God. You know, to me it's not black or white like that. That's a fundamental belief for me. And you. You can't rattle that no matter what you say, no matter what you tell me, no matter what you show me. And very few statements will have that type of clear path for you. Most maybe, like, I believe that you should treat money and think of it this way. You either have enough or you don't. It's one of my fundamental beliefs. And I don't mean that you should believe that. That's just my belief. You have a belief about money, too. And my belief of whether I have enough or I don't have enough helps me navigate through the rat race of chasing to try to attain more money. I don't want to live my life that way, and I want to be able to live within my means. And I want to be able to be grateful for what I have and not constantly chase it and lose the most important things in life because I'm chasing things that have a price tag on it. Your worldview is your matrix. It's how you process and filter all the things that happen to you throughout your life and throughout your day. And. And allows you to stop, think and then react because you think about what you believe. So I'll Leave you with this, give you a little bit more clarity. Write about trust. What do you believe about trust? I know that me, myself, the built to lead band, we have a fundamental belief that leaders trust first. We do. We trust first. I can't tell you how many people I've told that to. And they said, no way. You know, I don't trust people until they earn it. And there's a good reason why they think that, why they believe that. And many times it's because they've been burned. People have broken their trust, they've been screwed over. So you can't blame them for it. And I don't judge them for it. But getting clear on. Is that always the case? Other times where you don't have to have people earn your trust? It's important because when that opportunity comes up, you could be sabotaging a relationship because of your belief and you don't even know it. And I can't blame you if you've been screwed over to not trust people off the bat and make them earn it. But that doesn't mean that should always be the case. And it's important for you to get clear on what you believe about that. That's just one example of so many things, right? If you have a. If you have a close friend screw you over, do you believe that you deserve a second chance? You believe that you should forgive people? Again, it's important to get clear on what you believe because everything that happens to you every single day of your life gives you opportunities to live out your worldview. You wear your worldview. When I have people that come in for an interview and they have, you know, tattoos all over, they're showing, you know, and they're. That's their worldview. This is what they believe and they're proud of it for whatever that's them. And you have to respect people who have a worldview and they know what they believe. I do. I don't care what you believe. I just want you to believe and know what you believe. But you do. You wear your worldview and you don't even realize it. Everyone has a worldview. You just be deliberate about it and you want to be clear on what it is. And it's. Again, it's a very powerful. Just brainstorm. These could be statements, they could be narrative written in the narrative and paragraphs. This. These are great things to share and get feedback on, to get challenged on. You want to challenge your own worldview and you'll see you change what you believe about certain things. It will change the way you show up in the world, and it will change opportunities that come your way. And it is up to you to author your worldview. That is the challenge. That is your productive action, to Write out version 1.0 and get it to version 2.0 and rinse it and rinse it until it gets so damn clear that you don't waver and you're not easily influenced. I remember the day that Chet told me, he said, man, you're tough. I'm like, why do you say that? He's like, you just. You're hard influence. And I sat back and I was like, wow. I. You know, I was just. I took it as a compliment. I didn't know maybe if he was calling me stubborn or not, but. But I just. I know what I believe. I know what I believe, and I know what I believe about almost everything. Because I've. I've thought about it doesn't mean I'm right, and it doesn't mean that I don't make a ton of mistakes. But I believe that when I do screw up, that I need to go repair and make good on it and humble myself and remind myself that I have a lot to learn from everyone and everything. And again, it's all rooted in and what I believe. So what do you believe? Write it out, think about it, and put it on paper. Your worldview, it's transformational.
