Dorfman and Stutz - On Action, Action, and More Action (Heroic +1 #1,295)

Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another heroic plus one. In our last plus one, we hung out with one of the friendliest guys in baseball, the mayor, Sean Casey, and his legendary coach, Harvey Dorfman. I want to spend a little more time with Sean and bring another legendary coach to the party, my coach, Phil Stutts. It's funny because when Sean told me the story about how Harvey ruthlessly focused on the process goals, not the outcome goals, I immediately thought of Phil. As we've discussed, Phil says the same thing in his own way. He says that most people focus on the outcomes in their lives when they should be focused on the actions they are taking in pursuit of those outcomes. Now, the way he frames it is to imagine pearls. You can spend all your time counting how many pearls you have or don't have, or you. You could ignore the counting and simply focus on stringing the next purl. Check out that +1 over and over and over again. We focus on what needs to get done right now, what's important right now. Do it. String the next purl over and over and over and over again. You do that enough times and you know what happens? You get a lot more of the outcomes you've been wanting. And somewhere along the line, you learn that the real prize is knowing how to flip the switch and get into action. Showing up as the best, most heroic version of yourself. Not someday. Today. Let's do that. Plus one. Plus one. Plus one. Let's go. Little P.S. here. I love pearls. I have one on my desk at all times to remind me of wisdom. From a plus one, we link in this one called how to make a Pearl and another one with wisdom on the pearl in my pocket. Check those out. The pearl is the official gem, along with a diamond of heroic.
