Kenny Chapman (the "blue collar coach") explains the reticular activating system (RAS), calling it the "Google in your mind," and argues that what you focus on determines what you notice and achieve. He urges viewers to program their RAS to look for specific opportunities (especially in Q1 2019), illustrates selective attention with a Porsche transport anecdote, and closes with an encouraging call to focus and action.

Are you controlling your RAs off? Kenny Chapman here, the blue collar coach. I just want to talk to you a moment about reticular activating system. If you've been to one of my events, you've heard me talk about this before. This is the Google in your mind. This is where you actually program your mind. I'm not talking about meditation, I'm not talking about mantras. I'm talking about what you focus on matters. And in 2019, especially the first quarter of 2019, you, your results are going to be completely tied to how well you focus to what your level of focus is. Now you set yourself free when you begin programming your reticular activating system to look for specific things. This happens all day, every day in every aspect of everybody's life. But people that are crush it. Performers understand the top producers in the world, the people that really make things happen, understand how to set yourself free. Yesterday I'm on my commute, we're heading to the office and I see this transport load of Porsches going to a new dealer. I'm a Porsche guy, I love cars. And so that's on my reticular activating system. I noticed it. I honked, I waved, I'm getting off the interstate. They did the same thing as they passed in this massive transport. Now most of the people on the road didn't even notice that there was a load of cars going down the road. Some people notice motorcycles, some people notice motorhomes. Here's what I want you to notice in 1Q19. Are you thinking that there's not good team out there? Are you thinking that the economy is about to upset you? Are you thinking that your competition beating your butt all day every day? What you focus on matters, my friend. And when you take control and you start going, I'm going to use the Google in my mind. I'm not talking about the secret. I'm not saying sit back and just manifest things to happen though that those things are powerful. This is incredibly powerful. When you think about your business, are you looking at what's wrong? Are you looking at building on what's right when it comes to you, your unique ability, your focus that turns out your results in 2019. Until we talk, have a better than fantastic week and an amazing holiday. Talk to you soon.
