When you hit a hard goal, your first instinct reveals everything: do you make excuses or ask "how would I do this if I had to?" One signals you've already lost. The other means you own the outcome and can actually solve it.
This is how you know if you're a loser. And I want you to take this test. If you're presented with a difficult problem to solve or a goal that you have to hit, like I say, you have to make $100,000 next month. If your first instinct is, oh, but. And you come up with excuses why you can't do it, you're a loser. I'm sorry, you can come at me with the comments. Or if you say, if I had to, how could I? You might be really good in one area, bad another area. You might go, hey, I need you to lose fucking 20 kilos next month. And you might go, oh, yeah, if I had to, how would I? Or you might go, oh, no, I can't do that. And then in business it might be the opposite. But if you're first instinct is to figure out why you can't do it and come up with a list of excuses, then in that area of your life, you are acting as if you'd already lost. And someone who has lost is what they are. A loser. Or you act like a winner, you go, okay, if I had to, how would I? It is one of the most freeing and beneficial things that you can learn how to say to yourself, because it means that you can take responsibility and accountability for all things. And the beautiful thing is that if everything is your fault, then you can solve all of your problems and you don't need anyone. So trivia count. If I say to you, you need to achieve X in the next xyz period, and you go, oh, but. And that's your visceral. Then just own it and go, oh, I got to change that. Because if your default is to go, I've already lost, then I don't know how you fucking win.
