Don’t Let Your Distractions Destroy Your Destiny!

He was the best of the best in class and the best of the best in category. How good was he? He was so good that the scripture tells us that all of the kings of the earth, all of the monarchs around the earth came to Solomon and paid him to learn his wisdom. So maybe. Yeah, I get it. The price is high to become the best of the best in category. The price is high to become the best of best in class. Oh, but the payoff is so worth it. Here's what it says. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. For there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave. Whither thou goest. I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill. But time and chance happeneth to them all. In other words, you don't need a particular set of gift, be it one of the best of the best in category. Here's what you need to do. You need to make a decision. The word decide comes from the Latin root de, which means of, or from side, which means to cut. It means you cut yourself off from any other possibility. But being the best of the best in class. And your objective is not even to become the best. Your objective is to become as good as you possibly can be. Like, best doesn't mean better than somebody else. Best means best to your capability. Like, that's why when people say, myron, how much money you want to make? I want to make as much as I can. Well, I'm not that greedy. Okay? I'm not. It has nothing to do with. I mean, that. That may be. If you wanted to make as much money as you could, that might be why you wanted to partner your children. You want your children. I don't want to make that much money. Just enough to be comfortable. How smart do you want your children to be? Not that smart. Just smart enough to be comfortable. How long do you want to live? Not that long. Just long enough to be. By the way, if you only want to make enough money to be comfortable, that's one of the most selfish goals you can have. Because when you come across the man who's fallen among thieves, how are you going to take care of him when you can't even pay your light bill? How are you going to bless your mama and your daddy and your grandmama and your children? You can't even take care. You can't even pay your Water bill, like wanting to make enough to get by is one of the most selfish and non intelligent goals you can have financially. Why? Because all you got to do to know that refrigerators and cars and stuff break down is keep on living. So you don't. When it breaks down, you don't want to have enough money to replace it. You won't have to wait. The air conditioner goes out in Florida in the summertime. Well, we don't have to just wait till we save enough money to get it fixed and sweat in the meantime. The scripture says, a wise man foresee of evil and hideth himself, but the foolish pass on and are punished anyway. So he said. Then it says, verse 12. For man also knoweth not his time. As the fish, as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, as the bird that is caught in a snare, so are the sons of men snared in an evil time when it falleth suddenly upon them. So the scripture says, whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might because you're dying. There's no work nor device, nor service in the grave with it. I'll go us work. Like, put everything you can into everything you put everything you've got into everything you do. Because you're going to die. And when you're. When you die, here's what that means. Game over. And it's not Mario Brothers. You don't get another life. And then he says, but do everything you can. Not just because you're gonna die, but do everything you can. Like put everything you got into everything you do. Because you will beat people who are more talented than you. You will win out over people who are richer than you. You will beat people who had more like natural advantages than you. Just because you put everything you've got into everything you do. Huh? Number nine. So if you have three tomato plants, 50% of the tomatoes are not produced by four and a half plants. 50% of the tomatoes are produced by three plants. 50% of the sales are produced by three salespeople. 50% of the points are scored by three people on a team of nine. What? Oh, it gets more better if you have 5, 25, 25 tomato plants. 50% of the tomatoes Are going to be produced by five plants. 50% of the sales by five salespeople. 50% of the Points by five people on the team. What? This is, this isn't making sense. Okay, well, let me make it make sense. If you have a business, a corporation, you got 100 salespeople, 50% of the sales will be made by 10 people. And anybody who owns a business knows I'm telling the truth. 50% of the sales will be made by 10 salespeople. And the other half of the sales will be made by 90. This is why income inequality cannot be solved by government. You can't legislate Price's law. I think it's so fitting that the guy who discovered this, his last name was Price. I think his name was Richard. And then he had all these long middle names. Price. Right? Last name Price. I think it's fascinating. You know why? Because if you want to be one of the best in class, best in category, you have to be willing to pay the price to become that. It's like. It's almost like God has said, I'm make sure this dude who discovers this, his last name is Price. If you have 10,000. If you have a business with 10,000 offers, 50% of your revenue will come from 100 offers. So what's the significance of this? Here's the principle. So here I'm gonna tell you what my mom said. I'm gonna tell you what I discovered based on this. Here's what my mom said. And I'm gonna show it to you in the Bible so you'll know, like, this is just reconfirmed and reconfirmed over and over and over and over and over and over again. You ready? Everybody ready? Let me hear say I'm ready. Okay, here we go. Here's what my mom said. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. Do you know how small of a population in the world there is that practice that it's so minuscule it might not be able to be measured under a microscope. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might. I thought she was just being Socratic because my parents were very Socratic and they didn't say things outright. They would just. They would give us hints and we'd have to fig. Figure it out, right? You'd walk in, you and see my mom for the first day. Boy, time of day is due to a dog. Hi, mom. Like, she's like. You would even say hi to your dog. I'm your mother. Speak to me. Right. So that's how our parents taught us. Anyway, so I didn't know she was giving me the. I didn't realize she was giving me the keys to the castle. When she said, whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. I didn't know she was doing that. And it came from scripture. So here's the lesson. Let me tell you the lesson we learned. Then I'm gonna read the verse. Then I'm gonna tell you what I've extracted from this and what I've been able to apply. And I found that it is so true. If you decide you're gonna be one of the best in class, one of the best in category, you'll have almost no competition because most people are not willing to pay that price in any arena. Okay? So here's what I learned from Price's Law. 100 salespeople producing half of the sales of a 10,000 person sales army. Here's what I learned from that. Mediocrity Scales exponentially. Average Scales exponentially. Okay? Scales exponentially. Excellence only scales incrementally because so few people are willing to pay the price. That's why when you think of actors, the number of A list actors is gonna always be smaller than the B and the C list actors. Why the singers? Same thing. It doesn't matter. And God laid it out for us in scripture so vividly and beautifully clearly. And I didn't realize that this was the principle until like, when I get something, When I get like. I'm like a dog on a bone. When I discover something, I'm like, but wait a minute. But what about this? And what about. And what about. And what about. And what about. That's me. Okay, so I'm gonna read it to you. By the way, the person who wrote this in Scripture was the best of the best in class and the best of the best in category. It was King Solomon. Here's what God told him. He said, because you've asked this thing, I'm gonna bless you in ways that nobody's been blessed before you and nobody will be blessed after you. There will not be one like unto you among all the kings all your days. And then we go and we read a little bit further in 1 Kings, chapter 3, and 1 Kings, chapter 4. And we read in 1st Kings, chapter 10 that the Scripture says that Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. Let's read it again so y' all can see I ain't just making this up. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. For there's no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave without ghost. Do everything. Like, do your best. Everything. In other words, if it's not worth putting your best into, it's probably not worth doing. You are going to die. Stop acting shocked by that. Like, stop walk doting, doting, about through life. Like you think you're gonna live to be 900. It's not gonna happen, okay? You're gonna die. I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift. If you will do your best, you will beat people who are faster than you. Wow. Why? Because they didn't do their best. I saw the race was not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. You will win in battle over people who are stronger than you. If you don't believe me, ask David and Goliath. By the way, David practiced for Goliath on a lion and a bear. Oh, okay. See, what we do is we hide from our lions and our bears, and then we want to face our giants. We wonder why we run from the giant. You ran from the giant. Because you ran from the line and you ran from the back. Okay. Neither yet bread to the wise. You will eat better than people who have more wisdom, more education, more degrees, and more knowledge than you if you do your best. See, everybody can't have a degree. Everybody can't have great Socratic wisdom. Everybody can't be the fastest person running. Everybody can't be the strongest person in battle. Everybody can do their best, but almost nobody does. Y' all tracking? I can see it in your face. You tracking? No. The battle too strong. Neither yet bread to the wives. Neither yet riches to men of understanding. Hey, you will make more money than people who are smarter than you if you do your best. Doors open for people who do their best. Obstacles run from people who do their best. Okay, Neither you get favor to men of skill. In other words, you will find favor over. You'll win contracts over people who have more skill than you. How. How do your. When you show up into an arena that you've been to before, everybody else who's in that arena who's seen you before should know, oh, if this person's here, I know they gonna show up and show up. They gonna show up and shine. Okay, so what do we learn from Price's Law? Because, like, in average mediocrity, okay, scales exponentially. That's why there's always more people who lose than there are who win. There's always a large number who lose and a small number who win. There's. There's a large number who just play the game, a small number who become professionals, and a smaller number than that who become stars. A smaller number than that who become superstar, and a smaller number than that who become legendary. Why? It's interesting, like, people make fun of this and it's kind of funny because it was like a funny meme when Allen Ivers was like, practice, practice, you talking to me about practice, practice, practice, me, practice, you talking to me about practice. And like it became a meme. But he was making a very good point. You should be talking to these other clowns who ain't scoring any points about practice. Clearly, when I show up, I've already practiced. Michael Jordan was not the most talented basketball player. He got cut from his high school basketball team. But he worked harder than anybody after that, so it would never happen again. See, here's what we do. We find ourselves taking our past experiences, like projecting them on a screen of our future, recreating the past. Think we're living in the present. And we keep repeating Groundhog Day. And today looks like yesterday. And this year looks like last year and this decade looks like last decade. We keep repeating the same thing. Why? Because we're not learning anything from the mistakes we made. We're not learning any. We're not learning how to overcome by looking at our past failures, at our past struggles. Let them tell us something. I made that mistake in the past. I ain't fixing to make it again. That was yesterday's mistake, baby. I learned the lesson. Now I'm ready to get the blessing. But if you don't learn the lesson, you get to keep on testing. So what do we learn from this? Execute your execution. Work your work. Work your work. Because all work works. What do you mean work your work? Stop playing at the thing you want other people to think you're serious about. Stop. Stop sticking your toe in the water. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna just try. Try, do it. Try is nothing but an escape hatch. The back door to Excuse Land. I'm not gonna do. Here's what I try means I'm gonna try means I'm not gonna do my best. And if it doesn't work, you'll know. I tried. I tried work your work. Because all work works. See, work is a two sided coin. But all work doesn't work. I've been working on this business for 15 years, not making me money. All work works. It's a two sided coin. It works on you and it works for you. And what you've got to learn to do and what I've got to learn to do. I think I've learned to do it to some degree. Maybe not to the degree, Nth degree. We have to learn to let our work work on us until we become the person for whom it can work. And I promise you, if your work is not working for you, the work that it's been doing on you, you've been resisting on some level, I promise you. Because what you resist persists, but what you embrace becomes grace. And grace is a gift. Like execute your execution. Work your work. Don't play at your work. See, for me, this business thing is serious. You know why? Because there are some people out there who are struggling financially. And I was you. And God knows I looked everywhere, in every book, every seminar. I've got brothers here who know. Brother Duane will tell you I was broke as a joke and ready to choke. And I was reading books on how to be a millionaire. I wasn't reading books about how to get a better job. I was reading books that were going to eventually teach me how to give somebody a better job. Work your work. Like, let's stop playing at work. Let's decide we're going to become the best of the best. Because here's what's going to happen. When you work your work, when your opportunity shows up, you're ready for it. When you don't work your work, when your opportunity shows up for it, you're not ready for it. Abraham Lincoln was almost right. Here's what he said. I will prepare myself and perhaps my time will come. Here's what Myron golden says, your time coming whether you prepare yourself or not. And if you're prepared, when your time comes, it will reveal you. If you're not prepared, it will expose you. And far too many of us, far too many times have been exposed because we weren't ready when our opportunity showed up. Can I get a witness? Work your work. Execute your execution. Like do the deal. Like when I make a decision, I ain't trying. I remember, I remember my YouTube coach. Here's what he said. Make a YouTube video consistently release it in the same day at the same time. Whether you do one a month or one a week or one a day. We started out one a week, I wasn't gonna miss it. I tried to repurpose some stuff from another platform when we went on vacation last year. Here's what happened. So you know what we do now? Every Wednesday we create a long form video and then we do Bible study. And then sometimes on Mondays we'll create two long form videos. Sometimes on Friday we'll create a long form video or two long form videos. Why? Because YouTube is not something I play at. Why there are people on that platform who the word they get when they tune into this channel changes something drastically for them. Why? Because truth is, the transformation is in the truth and in the execution of that truth. And so like, I don't want somebody coming looking for me at 10 o' clock in the morning and they don't find me. I know Myron got a video coming out tomorrow at 10 o'. Clock. Yes, he does. And I don't get, I don't get like, like worked up about a whole lot. I don't think my team would tell you. I don't think, I don't get worked up about a whole lot. But one thing I will get worked up about if our video don't show up on time. What? It's. It's 1005. Why is the video not there? I'm obsessive. Like, it's not. This is not an option play. This is a basic bread and butter mandatory play. We gonna make sure we work our work. Execute on your execution, execute your execution, but don't just execute it. Execute with excellence. Be the best. Because when you are the best, you can do your best. The only way to be the best is to always be becoming more. More than what? More than I was yesterday, More than I was last week, More than I was five minutes ago. Reading the thing, reading about the things I haven't learned yet. Studying the things I don't know yet. Mastering the things that I don't have down yet so that I can execute it effortlessly without the use of conscious resources. You know, it's really interesting. I can listen to somebody talk and tell whether or not they have reps, reps, repetitions. Like, I can tell whether you're making it up as you go along or whether you actually studied something. Oh, by the way, so can other people. You can listen to somebody play the guitar. You can tell, oh, this person, they ain't even think about this. They, they just feel in the whole. They're feeling their whole way through it. You can watch somebody play a sport and you can tell when they're in the zone and everything just works. One of my favorite quotes I discovered recently on Instagram. I don't know who the originator of this quote was, or I'd give them credit because I don't like acting like other people's stuff is mine. Right? But they said amateurs practice until they get it right. Professionals practice until they can't get it wrong. You need to create an environment in which you can practice until you can't get it wrong. All of us do. Execute with excellence. Like, be the best and then do Your best. And when you do your best, you'll have the best. It's just how life works. It's the be, do, have principle from Genesis chapter one. And the Lord God commanded the man saying, be. I mean, and God blessed them and said to them, be fruitful, be do multiply, do replenish, do subdue, and then have dominion. Be, do, do, do, have, be, do, have, be the best, do your best, you'll have the best. It's just how it works. It's how God set it up from the beginning. He put it into Genesis chapter one, gave you a wink, said in case you don't get to chapter two, I want you to be okay. Execute on your execution. Execute with excellence because existence is expiring. Whose existence? Yours and the people you were sent to serve. See, here's the problem. We, we dote about through life acting as if we're going to live to be 900. I promise you, there's not a person in this room that's going to be here 900 years from now. We ain't going to live to be 900. We ain't going to be. It ain't happening. Well, yeah, well, what about the millennium? Okay, y' all know, don't, don't just quit tripping. You know, I ain't talking about that. You ain't gonna live. Like, stop acting as if you have all this time. Stop wasting time watching other people win, thinking that you're winning, but my team's playing. They ain't your team. They don't know you. They don't care about you. If you get evicted from your house tomorrow, none of them coming to save you, it ain't your team. Okay, do I have an attitude? A little bit? A little bit. Existence is expiring. I know the people that I was sent to serve are not going to be here forever. If I had had more of a sense of urgency, if, first of all, if somebody would have taught me these kingdom principles when I was in my 20s, I could have executed on the stuff I'm executing on now a long time ago. And my mom could have benefited from it, my dad could have benefited from it. But they're gone. Existence is expiring. I've got time that I can share with my brother Duane, my brother Rob, my brother Jeff. I got time that I can spend with my son Anthony, my daughter Dede, my granddaughter Ari, my son in law John. My son Adam passed away in 2007. If I would have executed like I was expiring, if I had known Sooner. I could have done better. Sooner. Stop acting like you have all this time. Stop acting like the people you love have all this time. We're expiring. How do I know we're expiring? Here's what it says. Here's what it says. It says. It says. Two times we're reminded we're expiring. For there's no work whatsoever thy hand findeth. Do do with thy might. For there's no work nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave. Without ghost, you're dying. Then he says again, in case you forgot by the time he got through the fact that you can beat people who are stronger than you and faster than you and wiser than you and more favor than you and more skilled than you, I, after you got died, just in case you forgot, you died. For a man also knoweth not his time. Tomorrow ain't promised. Today ain't promised, baby, tomorrow. For man knoweth not his time. As the fishes that are taken in an evil net, as the birds that are caught in the snare, so are the sons of men snared in an evil time when it falleth suddenly upon them. I don't know when I'm going to die. But if it's today, I want to die executing excellently because I realize I'm expiring. I don't know if my wife is going to die, my son is going to die, my daughter's going to die. My grand. I hope none of that happens. I don't know when. I don't know if I'm going to see y' all next week. I can act like I'm going to see y' all next week and then. And then forget that you're dying and I'm dying. And then I could have done something as simple as smile and I didn't do it. And now you're gone. And now I can't smile. Or I can, but you won't see it. I could have given you an encouraging word, but I negated to do so because I was too self absorbed. And I could have given you an encouraging word. I could have taken time to show you that you are important to me. But I didn't do it. Really. You're gonna die. I'm gonna die. We're all gonna die. The more aware we are that we're expiring, the more intention we have in our lives. I discovered the number one. I literally, I really believe this with every fiber of my being. The number one common denominator of uber successful people is they hyper focus on intention and ignore distraction. And the number one common denominator of average people is they hyper focus on distraction and ignore intention. Myron, define intention and distraction. Okay, thank you for asking. I will. Intention is anything that I focus on that moves the needle in my favor or in the favor of the people I was sent to serve. Family, friends, people that I serve in the marketplace, people who I serve in ministry. Like, hyper focusing on things that move the needle in their favor and things that move the needle in my favor. That's intention. Anything else is a distraction. What's a distraction? Anything that does not move the needle in my favor or the favor of the people I was sent to serve. It's a distraction. And most people obsess over over things that don't matter while at the same time ignoring the things that matter most until the things that matter most are gone. And then what happens? They regret. Man, when you live your life like we're talking about right now, according to price of law, when you pay the price of excellence and you show up and shine, and when you're with people, you're present with them and you're giving them your intention and your attention. Here's what happens. When you die or they die, there's no regret. Isn't that a better way to live? When the game is over and you've got your points, however many points that is, and whatever game you're playing, you know you did your best, win, lose or draw. I'm good with that. I was talking to my brother Jeff, and he was a little concerned about some of the people who are in some of our masterminds who weren't rejoining. I'm like, jeff, it doesn't matter. It does not matter at all. The reason it doesn't matter is, like, we're doing God's work, bruh. Like, if it's not for us, nobody can get it to us. And if they could, I wouldn't want it. If it's for us, then nobody can keep it from us. I have. I have no stress in my mess at all. Why nothing's missing. Like, I'm not trying to get something I think is eluding me. I'm just seeking to be the best Myron Freddie Golden I can be. I can't be Tom Garrett. But here's what God said. You don't have to be I can't be Tim. I would pronounce your last name, but I mess it up every time. Right, Right. I can't be Tim. But God said I don't have to be you, don't have to be me, and I don't have to be you. God made all of us enough to fulfill the purpose for which we were created. If you will show up and shine in that arena, I promise you, you will find so much fulfillment, so much joy, so much peace, so much profit that, like, your life will feel magical, miraculous, supernatural. Maybe because it is. Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with your mind. Don't let the distractions destroy you. Because distractions destroy most people. They spend most of their life focusing on something that doesn't matter at all. Speaking of things that matter here, what we're going to do, you can see I've got this thing behind me. We've got a live event coming up. It's going to be three days right here in Tampa, Florida. Offer Mastery Live. We have less than 100 tickets left. It is going to be a sold out event.

We exchanged information and I called him last week. And so you have to know that I hate talking on the phone. Like I would just as soon drive down the road and throw my phone out the window and never see it again. I hate phones. I like. It's like I only talk on the phone when I'm in the car. I don't want to talk on the Phone. When I'm with my family, I don't want to talk on the phone when I'm at my. Like, I talk on the phone when I'm in the car. I hate it. I hate the phone. It's not that I hate the people. I love the people, but I hate the phone. It's a distraction. Okay. To me. Okay. Anyway. But Ben and I, we arranged a call. Dr. Benjamin Hardy. And I'm not being disrespectful. I didn't mean that, but like that. But Dr. Benjamin Hardy and I, we arranged a phone call. We talked on the phone for two, almost two hours. Like an hour and 52 minutes. It was crazy. Like, I looked at my phone, I'm like, I don't talk to anybody this long. And it felt like five minutes. This dude, like, we were just, like, sharing ideas back and forth. And I bought 50 copies of his. 10x is easier than 2x. So next Friday on the 9th, I'm also going to give away a copy of his book.
