Short transcript excerpt from a YouTube conversation (Mick Hunt interviewing Ken) about turning vision into action. Key points in this chunk: the value of visualizing and writing down ideas, the emotional power of anticipation, the importance of celebrating wins, and an impending discussion about the meaning of 'blue collar' work.
Because just getting to an end point shouldn't be success.
You know, when you think of something and you visualize it clearly and you put it down on paper, you've done this, this mechanical transfer from your brain to the physicality to the paper. And what happens then? And I heard this from Tony Robbins and his son Jerick, which is really cool.
Celebrate wins. How important for you, Ken, is it to celebrate wins?
Well, first off, you know, to be able to anticipate something is a very powerful mechanism. You know, you anticipate going to Christmas dinner with your family, or you anticipate a vacation, or you anticipate you ordered something and you're anticipating it coming in. Those are very powerful emotions. And, and, you know, instead of reacting to the world, we need to anticipate more. That's. That's absolutely for sure.
Define or explain in your words, blue collar and what that means to you.
The one thing that people don't recognize, blue collar versus white collar, is when you, when you check the happiness ratios, 65% of people that are blue collar people are happy with their careers versus 30 to 38, 35 to 38% of white collar people who are happy with their careers. And the reason is, when you're a blue collar person, you are in control. You're in control of your input, and therefore, you're in control of your output, the quality of that output, the rate of that output. You're in control of your day, your time, your schedule, and most often, you're in control of your financial gain.
