If you're not committed to eating right, do you get in great shape? How about if you're not committed to go to the gym, does that work out? Welcome to the Dean Grazios Show. All success starts right here. People dislike the word discipline and consistency, but it's really not a bad thing because you're already disciplined in some things. You might be disciplined in not going to the gym, you might be disciplined in procrastination. You might be disciplined in. I'll get to that tomorrow. Right? So you're already good at discipline. We just want to change it to be disciplined in the things that can get you the most results. You see, here's what I'd suggest. Who in here has ever had a massive breakthrough in something in your life that you weren't committed to? Right? If you're not committed to a relationship, does it work out? If you're not committed to eating right, do you get in great shape? How about if you're not committed to go to the gym, does that work out? But what we'll do is we'll buy a course or go to one event and we hope through osmosis that everything gets. Of a sudden, it's like, none of us would ever go to the gym and just work out like animals all weekend and go, I'm good for like, I don't know, a year, 18 months, I'm solid. But we do that with success. With success. We'll read a great success book. Be on fire. Oh, my God. Tell all our friends. You gotta read this book. Oh, my God. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a. That's a great book that's out right now. You'll read it, you'll tell your friends, but then you'll go right back into old routines. But we all do it. Don't feel guilty. How many people have 10 books at their house right now they're waiting to read? Right? But here's the thing. Here's what I want to share with you. There are things that you are committed to, and there's things that you schedule in your life, and those things are doing great. Who in here works out on a regular basis? Okay, you work out on a regular basis, you're committed, and you schedule that. And are you getting results? Right? It's the same thing with success. If we talk about binary thinking, doing the things that get us the most Action, Right? The whole reason I'm having this conversation this morning is so you can think about your goals and then have the tools to see how you actually achieve them. It's really not rocket science. I mean, I feel blessed. I got the chance to spend three hours alone with Richard Branson. You know, he's a billionaire. We sailed around his island because I raised the whole. Me and my buddy Joe Polish raised a bunch of money for his charity. And. And I was waiting. Like, I'm sitting with a billionaire. This guy owns Virgin Airlines, and he started Virgin Records. I mean, he was the, you know, I mean, he was just. He's done so many amazing things. I'm on his island. He owns the whole damn island, Right? And we're sailing around the island. And I have to be honest with you, I was waiting for, like, he's gonna share the magic thing. There's the magic billionaire thing. And I'm getting this shit. I'm getting it. And we got up. He saw that I got up every morning at 5. So he's like, hey, if you get up at 5 tomorrow, meet me at the docks. We'll go sailing if you want. Was I gonna be like, ah, nah, I'm gonna sleep in at 3:45. I was like, hey, I'm here. So we're sailing around. I have to be honest, I knew exactly. I didn't wanna be like the guy that asked so many questions. I just wanted to listen and be his buddy. But I was strategic. Cause we had three hours and nobody else but us sailing around the island. And I'm not kidding, I was waiting for the billionaire secret, like, and by the way, this is how you get there. No, it's not. It's what I'm sharing today. What's in my book, like, those foundational things are just the rules for success.

And then we're going to have some of the most incredible success speakers. You're going to get capabilities, success, real estate all mixed in. But the end of the day, none of it will work. The next level of income, life, abundance won't work without some core fundamental habits and strategies and actions. So your goals become a reality. And that's why I obsess on them. That's why I want to go through it. But the reason I'm circling all the way back around is three hours with Richard Branson. There wasn't one thing that I didn't already know. But what it did that day, it anchored me in to just make sure I was there, disciplined and I committed and I scheduled the time to actually do it. The only way I get to stay in good shape at 50 is I have to go to the gym all the time. The only way I get to live in success. Does stuff go sideways in my life? Hell yes. Do I have stressful events? Yes. Do I still wake up at 2 o' clock in the morning sometimes with anxiety, worried about things? Yes. But I have the tools to get me back on track and I focus on them every day so I could stay the course that I want to go. Does that make sense?
