The MILLIONAIRE MORNING ROUTINE - Success Habits Of HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE

Interview-style conversation (Connor Kraft interviewing Stephen Scoggins) about building effective morning routines and long-term planning to achieve high performance and financial goals. Scoggins emphasizes creating balanced, personalized routines that remove emotional roadblocks, planning backwards from five-year goals through yearly and daily milestones, and using consistent daily actions (little wins) to build momentum. He contrasts healthy routines (personal growth focus, prioritized daily structure) with toxic behaviors (distraction, unproductive screen time) and gives examples from his own practice and mentor Steve Myrick.

You know, to be a quote, unquote millionaire, there are a lot of steps, a lot of sacrifices, a lot of contributions, a lot of time, a lot of learning, a lot of growth. There's a ton there. At the same time, if you don't have a routine that allows for you to grow, then becoming a millionaire or anything like it is going to be way out of reach.
Hey, how's it going? I'm Connor Kraft and I'm here with Stephen Scoggins. And today we're going to talk about morning routines and specifically a millionaire morning routine. What does it take to. I mean, there's a lot of people that talk about, you know, the millionaire morning routine. It's a hot topic right now. So you are a successful entrepreneur, You're a millionaire.
Yeah, I've been blessed.
So, you know, would you say that you have a morning routine that you figured out that is like, you know.
I think the morning routine that I would kind of have people prescribe to is going to be successful for anybody. Regardless if you're trying to get a million dollars or not, you know, to be a quote, unquote millionaire, there are a lot of steps, a lot of sacrifices, a lot of contributions, a lot of time, a lot of learning, a lot of growth. There's a ton there. At the same time, if you don't have a routine that allows for you to grow, then becoming a millionaire or anything like it is going to be way out of reach. Right? So I think a few things that I think that highly successful people do, and I see this in the entertainment industry. Some of the people we work with there. I see this in the entrepreneurial industry with people we work with there. I also see this in the sports industry with people we work with there. So what you would call high performers. Okay?
So it's just successful people, Successful people.
In general do things a very specific way. Okay. Now, they might have variations of different tactics or different strategies, right? But essentially they are all doing the same thing. What I mean by that is one of the first things that I see that highly successful people do is they're always thinking 15 to 18 to 20 steps ahead. Okay, sounds like a lot, but it is. But I've said this before in other videos. Our process has been start with your five year, let the five year, create the 36 month. Let the 36 month, create the 24 month, and let 24 month create the one year. Like a one year marker. Right? What I mean by that is that if you want to be a millionaire in five years, you got a lot of work ahead of you, and you shouldn't think there's a get rich quick scheme because there's not. There's a lot of sacrifice. But what you can do is you can start thinking about all the different steps and actually spend the time to plan out the journey. They say that most people who are living in the vast majority of the world, 67% of the people, if you would, that would say they're happy, lost, unfulfilled. You write in the descriptor, right, and you're still going to get that same thing. The people who are stuck there are literally living paycheck to paycheck and making their decisions on a daily basis.
The people who feel like they're lost.
The people who feel like they're lost and stuck, right? The people who end up becoming highly successful, okay, in general, are always thinking and always strategizing in such a way that they kind of look at their five year with open eyes. We look at their 36 month with open eyes. They look at their 24 month with open eyes, and they look at their 12 month with open eyes. Meaning that they're always looking for, what do I need to learn? Who do I need to connect with? How do I need to grow? What kind of effort do I need to put in on a regular basis? What kind of consistent behavior pattern, what kind of routine do I need to have that underlies the entire thing, that supports the entire thing? They're looking at all those different parts and pieces, including the measurable milestones. They're looking at different, you know, how will I know when I achieve this? How will I know when I achieve this? How do I know when I achieve this? Most people don't stop long enough, right? One of the things that I've shared with people before is, if you've never done this before, take an entire Saturday.
Grab a whole host of sticky notes and paper your walls with your goals, your aspirations, and then start working into your measurable milestones and your actions, stuff like that. Now, in regards to routines, okay, highly successful people, again, they are thinking, call it 15 steps ahead, okay? They're like master chess players. They're constantly thinking of strategy. The next thing that they're doing on a regular basis is they've already decided what each of their days are supposed to look like. Okay? I'm not saying that they're so rigid that there's guardrails that they just kind of like don't move or there's flexibility in it, but they decide, hey, Look, I've got 15 minutes here. This is going to be thought time, introspection time, reflection time. I got 15 minutes here. This is going to be meeting time. I got 15 minutes here. This is going to be prayer and fasting time. I got 15 minutes here. This is going to be family time. Right now, granted, you may do more than 15 minutes, but I'm using it as a tool to help you understand that there are prioritization practices that allow you to kind of build the kind of routine that you need.
Is the reason why routine is so important because of the consistency that's required to reach any goal?
Absolutely.
Because one of the greatest themes that I've learned working with you is you're always telling me about routines. You're saying routines are so important. And it's so important because you have to take a certain step every single day pretty much for six months, a year, to actually see the fruit of that labor. And so I wanna get into that a little bit and dive into why consistency is so important underlying so that people understand why they have to have a routine to begin with. Cause I think a lot of people who struggle in that area, they tell, like, I struggle in that area a lot. I used to tell myself, I don't feel like I'm just naturally wired to like routine. I hate routine. I hate structure, I hate systems.
I feel.
I feel like a lot of you are wired in the same way as well, though. But you've still figured out how to make that routine.
Yeah.
So if you're talking to that person, how would you paint that picture for them?
Well, first of all, the reason routines work so well.
Some call them routines, some call them rituals, some call them habits. No matter what you want to call it, the reason they work so well is they take you out of the equation, they take your doubts out of the equation, they take your inadequacies out of the equation. It takes your insecurities out of the equation. And. Right. It's focused on action, it's focused on technique, it's focused on strategy, it's focused on do this to get this, do this to get this. Do this to get this. It takes all the. I don't know if I can do it. I don't know. Does anyone. I don't know if anyone will understand me. It takes all that stuff out that holds you back on a regular basis. The emotional roadblocks, if you will. That's why routines work. Right. The other thing to your other point about. I found it really hard to create a routine because it's too rigid. Here's the deal. If you create the routine, who creates the routine, right? Which means if you're creating your own routine, it should be just the way you like it, Right.
You shouldn't try to just go follow Joe Schmo's routine.
Exactly. Got it. Now what you can do is, you know, there's a myself and thousands of other people who live.
Lives that we really love, right? We were able to come and go and do some things. People who are in that sector of life, they all do this modeling thing, right? They might look at Warren Buffet or they might look at, well, not Steve Jobs anymore, but they might look at Steve Jobs or Bill Gates or, gosh, our good friend Evan Carmichael. Like any number of people that are highly successful, right. Look at what they do that's successful and begin to implement some of those things into your life and then make adjustments for who you are as a person. Right. I like to think of, you know, some people will say a routine is a lot like going down the highway with guardrails. Okay. I look at routines more like a boxing ring or a wrestling ring, Right. Every now and again, in order to get momentum and to get that launch, you've got to go against the ropes so you can come off of it.
Yeah.
You see what I'm saying? Those ropes, if you will, that are around the boxing ring or wrestling ring, whatever you want to call it, are there to hold you in place, but not necessarily there to hold back your momentum. If your routine is so rigid that there is no adjustment, then you are going to have a hard time allowing yourself for innovation and creativity and inspiration. Now, on the other hand, having the bones of your day planned out on a consistent basis from a priority perspective. In other words, my most important thing I need to get done today is X and then working your way back, then you are able to actually allow yourself for that creativity time. Did you put enough structure in your day to day to allow for free thought, free thinking, creativity, relationship building? Right. Texting your wife and saying, I love you, babe.
So it really, it sounds like it all really, what you put in your routine depends on what your goals are exactly. Okay.
Yeah. I mean, again, we've done several videos before on the channel and we'll make sure we link some in the description below of this particular video. But in the meantime, the easiest way to understand a routine is there's nothing more than getting clear on where you're trying to go, getting committed to that ultimate outcome, laying out the steps from that ultimate outcome, and Then the routine always supports the outcome. The routine always supports the outcome. Your routine should not lead you further away from your ultimate outcome. It should always lead you closer towards your ultimate outcome. Right. Here's what I mean by that. One of my kids, for example, amazing, smart as crap, gritty, tenacious, won't give up all that kind of stuff, has all that.
What's the one thing that you think limits his ultimate potential?
Himself.
Distraction. Yeah, distraction. The routine. What the routine does outside of taking away all the emotional baggage that we possess as humans because we're all. Dude, even now. Okay. I will have days from time to time. I'm just being candid and honest with everybody, okay? Even I'll have days when I don't feel like putting in the effort, or I have days from even time to time where I don't feel like I'm enough to even be on camera. Okay. And then I'll have an interaction with somebody and it'll basically help them change their lives. Right. Well, that brings me more encouragement. Well, the only way you get there is to do the one thing that most people don't do, and that's eliminate distractions. If you spend hours and hours and hours and hours and hours watching TV or hours and hours and hours playing with your phone or on social media or. Or hours and hours and hours and playing video games, then you were holding yourself back.
When you have distractions, it makes it really difficult to have a routine. Now, if you have a routine, then you can make time for some of those fun things. Right? Some of those what I call decompression moments.
That makes sense.
You see what I'm saying?
Yeah. So let's dive into what is the difference between some of the healthy things someone could do in a morning routine versus toxic things? You can start with whatever.
Yeah, no, I mean.
Healthy things that are. In a morning routine, like in my routine specifically, there is a personal growth period in every single morning. So I've said this before. I'll just share it really fast. Again, for me, I focus on one specific area of life on a daily basis. So on Mondays, I focus on financial. On Tuesdays, I focus on spiritual. On Wednesdays, I focus on emotional. On Thursdays, I focus on professional. You see what I'm saying?
You're focusing on a different area of your life for each day.
Yeah, because I'm trying to raise the entire tide at the same time.
Would you recommend that for everybody or if someone's really struggling in one area?
Yeah, I would. And the reason I would is because what will happen is you'll focus so much on one area because you're trying to get momentumless. And this happens a lot with people trying to get financial. Okay? They're trying to financial and really professional. They're trying to get a better career, they're trying to make more money. They're trying to go. And then they alienate their family because they're so focused over here. Well, then they end up with a divorce that ends up disrupting over the. Disrupting this over here.
So what do you say to the influencers? Because there's a lot of them who say, like, no, no, no, you need to just have extreme obscene focus in one or two areas of life and just go all at it for a few years, and then that's just a season, and then you can focus on other ones. You're saying that's not the smartest way to do it necessarily.
It hasn't been my experience. And the reason I say that is, you know, I've shared a pretty hardcore story about Steve Myrick and what he changed my life. So Steve Myrick, for those of you who don't know, was my very first mentor. He met me when I was probably 12 years old, mentored me all the way through my early 20s, watched me go through the homeless phase and all that kind of stuff. Right. I'll never forget this. Steve Meyer was laying on a gurney. He had his knees replaced and developed pneumonia. Okay. So he had his kneecaps, essentially a knee replacement, developed pneumonia. He developed pneumonia. And I'll never forget this. My dad and I went to go to the hospital to say hello, and we didn't know he was going to pass away soon after that. And my dad was like, doting over Steve. It's like, you know, you've built this amazing business. You've changed all these lives. You have all these team members, you built all these homes like you've traveled all over the place like you've had an amazing life. Steve. Myra took the mask off his face, slid it to the side, and he said, what good is all that success? I have no health.
Wow.
Now, had he taken better care of his body, glucosamine supplements or whatever, he might not have needed a knee replacement. He might not have developed a pneumonia, which means he might have lived longer. Right. So much of life comes down to balance. And the only way to get balance is to focus intentionally on specific areas of our life on a regular basis. I'm not saying that you're not going to have one or two areas of your life that you're trying to get immediate traction on. What I am saying is that you can't just alienate or disregard everything else, right? So when people come to me and they're like, I want to be a millionaire, how to be a millionaire, I'm like, why do you want to be a millionaire? Well, I mean, it looks cool. Well, I can tell you from life, and I'll tell you that anybody else that's achieved this level of success or higher, it's hard.
Right? One of the drawbacks, for example, of becoming, quote, unquote, a millionaire is you don't know who you can trust anymore. You don't know who's coming in to get to know you because you know, you're a real person and they want to know and befriend you because you're cool and, you know, you want to hang out or, you know, you always have to ask, what is it they want?
Like, what is it? You know, because it doesn't take long. I just did a. In fact, I just had an event down in Texas where I was hanging out with some very influential people, okay? Actors, actresses, other entrepreneurs, stuff like that. And it was interesting because in that room for the first time, the vast majority of the people in that room were just socializing, right? They're just getting to know one another. However, as soon as that little event was over, I went to sit down at the table with my phone to kind of check in with my wife. And sure enough, a guy sits down. Hey, I'm so and so I do this. I think I can really help your business. Would you like. It's like that LinkedIn stuff. Like, you're on LinkedIn, somebody messages. The first thing they do is like, hey, I want to sell you something. Yeah, you see what I'm saying?
Not knowing those things in advance. Millionaire sounds sexy, right? Being a millionaire or having any level of wealth or any level of focus without having a routine to support building character over time is going to ultimately make you very financially successful, but also very empty as a human being, right? So the routine that you have to have in place has to be based on your priorities, but it also has to be a balanced approach to a life well lived. You know, I'll share with you mine real fast. Five, 5:30 every morning I'm up. Okay, 15, 20 minutes, prayer meditation. Next. Next time, I'm in the. Essentially in the car, got my gym bag, already kind of packed it from the night before. I hit. I hit the gym. While in the gym, listening to podcasts watching a YouTube thing again. I'm focused on one specific area of life for that one day. Go to the gym, I get my workout on, get my heart pumping. I'm getting like. That's when I pull out my iPhone. I'm like, you know, you guys tell me all the time, I'm a quote machine. Like, I talk in fortune cookie, right? You know, so I'm typing my fortune cookies, right? And then I'm sending it to the team and I'm come to the building here at the live event center. And then I start my day right. My day starts with my top priorities and works to my least priorities. I make sure every middle of the day that I'm checking in with my wife, Just let her know she means something to me.
You always start with the top priorities first?
Always.
Why do you do that?
So I don't waste time. Right? Let's think about this. The importance of a routine is important because if you think about it, time is the one resource you can't get back. That's powerful. Since it's the one resource you can't get back, you have to be very intentional about investing it, not spending it like in relationship. I had a young man that's his whole life's been uprooted recently. He's got a lot of really good things cooking. But at the same time, there's been so much change. Like, there's a lot of this mentality of spending my time. I'm spending my time doing this, I'm spending my time doing that. I change that entire approach to be, where am I investing my time? Right? Your daily routine has to always create forward momentum and forward progress on a balanced approach on a consistent basis of where you invest your time. One of the most difficult things that I've had to learn to do is say no. I would much rather say yes to everybody and meet everybody and socialize with everybody and help everybody. But if I do that, then I'm not creating content. If I'm not creating content, I'm not creating momentum. I'm not creating momentum. I'm not creating change.
So in other words, if you just did whatever you felt like it at any given moment, you wouldn't be able to do any of the great things that you do here.
I would say that's probably accurate. I definitely wouldn't make the kind of impact that I want to make on a regular basis.
At the end of the day, I'm after one goal. I've got one goal. When you take everything that I am, everything that I've done everything that I'm trying to do. I've got one goal. I want to be Steve Myrick to other people.
You want to transform lives?
I want to transform lives. What most people don't understand is a life well lived is nothing more than creating a legacy that outlives you. Right. Until I started making videos, until I started gracing stages, until I started putting myself out there, no one knew who Steve Myrick was except for his friends and family and people he came in contact with. Now thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people know exactly who Steve Myrick is. At least he was to me. Right. If you can affect that kind of change, you can do pretty much anything. Steve Myrick never saw me become an author. He, he never saw me become a speaker. He never even saw me break through a couple million bucks in top line revenue with my first business.
The greatest way for me to honor him is to take what he taught me and teach it to other people.
His morning routine and mine are very similar. He was up early every single morning prayer meditation. Right now he probably should have dosed in the gym every now and again and he might have got it a little further.
But he was intentional with family. Like it was not uncommon for him to leave a thousand dollar tip for a single mother at a waitress under a napkin at a restaurant. He was also the same guy who literally kicked this kind of sound funny, but kick police officers off the streets because he owned them. Right.
That's kind of gangster.
Yeah. So he had this kind of lion and lamb mentality. Right. If you're going to set up a routine, here's the deal. You've got to ultimately decide where it is you want to go. That's first. You have to, number one, you got to decide where you want to go. Huh?
Do you have to already have a plan?
You have to create the plan. How can you create a plan and create the action steps you need to get something accomplished if you've never actually done it right? I guess you'd have to. Most people who are stuck or they're not making the progress they want or whatever, they are just reliving the same day over and over again. They're not taking the time to decide what they want, why they want it, how they're gonna get there. They're not doing any of that. Highly successful people do all that work first create a plan and then follow the stinking plan.
Yeah, well, when you've talked about creating a plan, one of the steps in your life planning thing that you Teach people near the end of the process is putting these routines in place. And so that's why I just wanted to highlight that usually you teach people to create the plan first, decide why they want to accomplish what they want to accompl where they're going, and then create some idea of what the steps are going to be required. Like you said, the five year goals, the three year goals, the one year goals, that creates the routine out of that, how would you, if you had an example of someone who has a goal, a five year goal, how would you have them break that down into a routine?
I'm come back to that for just a second. I want to finish off with a toxic side because I don't think I answered that.
Great.
People who are living what we refer to as a toxic behavior system or a negative behavior system, that is they're not making progress, are typically getting up, they're meandering around their house. Maybe if they work the night shift or day shift, it doesn't matter, whatever your get up time is, right? They're not doing something on a regular basis to actually grow their mind, their body, their spirit. They're not taking time to prioritize their life in the area of priorities. And they're spending far too much time getting distracted, spending time. In fact, I'll tell you this. In fact, one of the things I've been researching, the next book that I bumped into is this scenario where people on average spend up to four hours a day of waking, meaning they're awake, okay? Of unproductive time. Between social media, tv, video games, just flat out wasting time. People, I even see people that have worked in my businesses before that will spend half their day on the phone with just somebody. Just literally they're not working, they're just on the phone. All it's thinking day and they're losing momentum. Whereas in my day, I have a specific time of day that I reach out to people I love to remind them that I love them and have a quick conversation or have a quick text like exchange or something like that. Toxic behaviors are going to poison the well. Okay? You want a system and a routine in place that doesn't poison the well. Okay, now I'll try to walk back. In fact, I'll use one of my goals, my five year goal for the Journey Principles Institute, which is the actual business entity, if you will. So when somebody works with us, a lot of their receipts come from the Journey Principles Institute, not Steven Scoggins. Okay? And I did that intentionally because within five years I want The Journey Principles Institute to be a standalone thought leadership, educational space that inspires people to change and gives them the tools to do so. Okay. That's a five year vision. Okay. I know that in order to do that, I have to spend a lot of time on the front end in the first one year to two years and even three years. Spending a lot of time putting myself out there, sharing my heart, sharing my mind, sharing my soul, sharing my techniques, sharing my strategies in order to create an avenue where people can be bridged from where they are now to where they want to go. Right. So if I take that five year goal, I want the transform you system that we have. Okay. That is within the Journey Principles Institute because again, JP is just the business. Transform you is our suite of services that we offer people. Okay. Transform you live, Transform virtual plus, Transform you online, Transform you immersion, all that kind of stuff. Okay. Well, that's a lot of content creation. Right. I have to map out where I've been, how it worked, why it worked, take the stuff that worked and keep it. Take the stuff that didn't work and toss it. Right. Because I want to have a proven process.
Knowing that. Well, in year one, if you recall, one of the things that we did is we stepped out on this YouTube train. Right? Why? Because one of the things that my aspiration is I want to be able to help people. Well, not everybody can afford different tools and resources. Right now, if I'm serving the person I used to be, which is the homeless guy, I just need to have access to wi fi. Right, right. Which you can go into a local shop. Exactly. Fire up YouTube, libraries, even libraries you can pop in if you don't have any tools.
A lot of them have computers.
Right. I say all that to say that in our first 12 months, I wanted to get a suite of content out. Okay. I wanted to put myself out there to see if people gravitated toward me. And thank God, people do gravitate towards what we're doing. Okay. In year 12 through 20, 24 months or two years, from year one to two years, the next phase of the plan is to actually spend a lot of time actually helping people with the tools and resources we created Year two and three, I'm going to identify people that we've engaged with over time that I have poured into that, believe in what we're doing and also have a heart to serve other people, to develop them into being the coaches and strategists that we need to actually continue to scale. As I do that from year four to Five. I'm now able to elevate many of those people with an established brand, established platform, established tool set, strategies and techniques, if you will, that have been taught, trained, adhere to. I have a time to test their character, all that kind of stuff. By that time now I know who are going to be my mission driven messengers, as Rory Vaden likes to say, right? Who is going to help me carry that message to other people in need.
So yeah, you've thought all of this out five years in advance, probably further if I know you. So is the key to this, like, let's say someone feels like they don't have that direction though, is the key to that, to decide what they want five years out and then work their way backwards or.
Well, so if I'm talking to the early me, I'm going to say something different than I would talk to the person I am today. So I'm going to hit both of those. The early me, I'm going to ask to start small, right? So the five year goal to that person might be a dream. My ultimate dream is X. And I want them to explain it to themselves in so much clarity that they use all five of their senses, right? I want them to literally smell like, think about and imagine the smells that they would smell if they were walking around Hawaii and they were smelling pineapples and orchids on a regular basis. Because when you go to Hawaii, that's exactly what it smells like.
I want them to visualize what it's like to watch a whale break the surface and then like watch the whale tell during the February and Hawaii months, right? I want them to figure out what it feels like to actually touch, right? Some of these different pineapples, some of these different melons that they have actually going and actually petting the dolphins and all this kind of stuff that you can do while you're in Hawaii that you can't do in most places. I want them to paint a picture of what that dream looks like, okay, on the four year side, from year four to five, that's kind of what I want them to focus on from four to three. What I want them to think of is, okay, I want to imagine where I am in my actual life. What does my professional life look like, what does my financial life look like, what does my emotional life look like for me from year three to four, for example, I wanted to be in my own home. I wanted to be married, right? Because I personally thrive better in a committed relationship. I just do. Some people thrive better in dating around. I don't I wanted to have enough financial resources to have overflow, meaning enough resources where I could cover all of my needs and still have quite a bit to give and quite a bit to invest.
Were these all your 5 year goals or are you saying these are just.
This is my three to four year window. Okay. Now I'm giving you generalities because you have to do the research on what it is you want and who you are to discover where it is you need to go. Okay? So I kind of focused my where I wanted to be at what I call a safe place. Like this is my safe place. Like I'm married, I got a nice house, I got enough income to cover my needs, my wants and even give some. My year, essentially three to two, I'm really going to be focused on maturing my gifts, my skill set, my focuses, my attributes. You know, I'm typically pretty good with people, meaning I'm intuitive. I can sense where they're at, I can sense where they've been, I can sense what help they might need. Right. I want to sharpen that and hone that. So in that two to three year wind, from year two to three, I'm focused on maturing my gift set, my skill set, alright? Now from essentially one year to two years, I'm going to be focused on getting the work done, laying out the clear path, focusing on getting things in place that essentially build the momentum to make those other things a reality. I hope that helps.
No, that helps a lot. The main theme that I'm getting from it is just you start with where you want to go. It can be a big exciting thing. Just realize that you're not going to get there overnight. If you're thinking big, think five years out and then work your way backwards. And if you work your way backwards to the point where you've broken it down to what you need to do in three years to get to five, what you need to do in one year to get to your three year goals. Then you break it down even more and then routines come in. So just to wrap all of this up, how do you actually take a goal that you have, let's say for this year of what you want to work on and put that into a daily routine so that you can actually get there.
Alright? So the number one thing that most people want to have in their life is more income and more prestige. Those are the two things people search for most often. Excuse me. As you dig into those more income, more prestige, one of the things you're realizing is they're coming from a place of four specific needs that we teach here at the journey Principles. The need to be seen, the need to be heard, the need to be valued, and they need to be appreciated. Okay. Most people associate those needs with, well, if I make more money, I'll matter to more people. Okay. Or if I become, if I put myself out there, more people, I'm going to have higher levels of accolades and higher levels of prestige. Prestige. Okay?
So since most people are searching for those two specific things, let's hit it from that angle. If I'm in a situation where I'm highly in debt, then my first mission is going to be get out of debt and get some safety money in place. Okay. If I'm not in debt and I've got some safety money in place, I might position my first priority to be how can I scale what I already have? What I mean by that is how can I take maybe the career that maybe I'm not happy with and how can I sharpen my skill set to increase my value to then be marketable to other people, including maybe the company I'm already working for or the company I want to work for. You see what I'm saying? It's all about learning how to identify what it is you're missing, what it is that you need. The reason it's hard for me to give you a complete roadmap for every single person is because everybody has a different starting point. Right? By understanding where you need to go in the first 12 months based on what you feel like you need and want, and actually working through that with one of our strategists, that would be the easiest way to develop a specific plan tailored to you to make sure you are getting your 12 month traction is because the starting points are so different. At the end of the day, wrap this whole thing up, get super clear on where you want to go, start creating a plan of action steps to get there, knowing that you got to prioritize them. Look at those things. Where are my milestones? What are things that I can put there to measure my success and then put a routine under it all to supplement everything so that you're making a.
Little bit of progress every day.
Exactly.
Cool. Yeah.
Because becoming.
Having high levels of wealth or high levels of accountability or influence, all of that stuff is built on little wins. I know you might look on social media and you're like, dude, he's got the Ferrari, he's got the airplane, he's doing all this. What you're not seeing is all the sweat equity and there's a ton of it. Yeah, right. So don't go into those dreams and aspirations thinking that it's going to happen overnight. It's going to be super easy because it's not. It's just, it's not going to be that way. Right. You need to understand that your ultimate success is going to be built on little wins. Right. In order to get to that level of success, you've got to know where you want to go, why you want to go there. Create steps, create milestones and put a routine in place that intensifies the entire thing. If you do that, you will win.
Sounds great, man. Thanks for watching, everybody.
