I don't think advertisement is the way that something that's like that, something like this podcast is how amazing it is. I don't think it should grow just through advertising. I think it should grow naturally and organically. And that's what it's done. And that's why it's so freaking awesome. And that's why I have friends who are podcasters and in crazy, crazy amounts of downloads that are looking at this podcast going, how in the hell is it growing so fast if you're putting no money into advertising? And I say because my listeners are freaking committed and they're sharing it with all their friends.

Go to mwfmotivation.com coaching and the last announcement once again, like I said last episode, if you are interested in being my social media manager, send me an email robwfmotivation.com and I'm looking for someone who is dedicated, who knows a lot about social media already, that I can teach a lot more to, that wants really good resume experience and that at the same time could be a freaking BA with my social media manager. And in turn I Will give them free coaching for it as well. Boom. That's what I gotta tell you for today. So today what I'm gonna go over is talking about why planning sometimes is not what you need to do. Sometimes you don't need to plan. Sometimes you need to do less planning and you need to more executing. If you heard that where I say if you spend too much time training or studying and not enough time executing, you will go nowhere. And the phrase that I'm gonna give you, that I want you to remember, if you have a pen and paper, write it down. If you're driving in your car, please don't write it down. Write it down some other time. And that is, here's the phrase. Ready, fire, aim. And that means do your quick planning, studying, whatever needs to be done, and then just fire, execute, make your decision, go. And then once you're going and once you're moving and everything's going to. Then you can start to make adjustments. Then you can start to do your aim. And it's like a gun. People would say, once you. Aren't you supposed to ready, aim, fire. And I think about it this way. If somebody's breaking into my house and I have my gun that's next to my bed, someone breaks into my house and they're about to come after me, I naturally am probably going to just pull the gun up and just start shooting all over the place, right? Like that's probably what's going to happen. And then I'll start to aim after I get a couple shots in, because I just want to try to get that person away. But that's the thing. You need to do the same thing with your business. You need to do the same thing with making changes in your life. You need to just execute and then make adjustments from there. Because most people out there, and I've been this person splanned. Spend most of your time planning. And planning is just a way for you to feel like you're doing something when you're really not doing anything. Sometimes planning is great. Sure, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. But. But there's over planning. And we all have to realize that you get to the law of diminishing returns, where you're planning too much and you just need to be executing. So what I want to tell you for this episode is that you need to do less planning. Most of the time, take the amount of planning that you normally do and cut it in half. And some of you are like, no, no, no. But I'm a planner. I'M a planner and here's the deal. I get to see this all the time in the podcasting world. I know tons of people who are supposed to launch their podcast last year and still have not launched their podcast because they're planning and trying to make it perfect. And in trying to make it perfect, they're actually making it even worse because they're thinking about it too much and then they're making their content worse because the fact they're thinking about it too much and then they're not genuine anymore. And that's the way that you have to think about. You have to realize that sometimes you just need to get up and move and then you need to make some adjustments once you've been doing it.

if you're the planner or the over planner, I want you to take a step back today and go, am I spending too much time planning and not enough time executing? Because sometimes most of the time you need to do very little planning. At least some planning, of course is always, always good. Which is the ready part. So you ready fire, which is execute and then aim. After you fire, you go, you make mistakes and then you make adjustments. Because most people. Let me tell you what it is. Most people want to over plan because they don't want to go out and fail. They don't want to go out and fail. They don't want to go out and make mistakes. So they're trying to get away from their fear of failure by over planning. Let me say that again. You might be. I don't even remember what I just said those off the top of my head. You might be over planning and not executing because of your fear of failure. That's usually what it is. It's not that you just need everything to be perfect, it's that you might be afraid of going out there and actually failing. But you need to fire, which means you need to go execute. You need to fail a couple times and make adjustments so that you can go down the right road. So that's what I have for you today. Ready, fire, aim, stop doing all of the aiming, stop doing all of the planning and start putting the work in. Start executing and stop letting failure hold you back in your fear of failure. You're masking as planning. So that being said, once again, if you're interested in coaching, we we have been doing a lot of awesome stuff in coaching. I would love to have you.
