You know:i, look up, lisa, doesn’t ask you just I love when people can taking message amplified into a platform and build upon that anyone listen to this pie. If I cancel anyone to understand that business podcasts ideas like a seed that can grow into multiple things, and you don’t have to have like the idea that our children, developing leaders, cuz i, love that hair. You know what your haircut in the room you said about focus on a seed and idea could be, as he doesn’t have to be a bit complicated tech company, but i. Think a lot of people talk to me about battle before starting your business and i. Looked at freddy creative careers.

Like you, a generic doctor lawyer, the other people see, if not achieving a potential face to face. Yeah I wish I’d say that I’m, the palest man in the world, if I had your complexion I would rule the world. I could say that because you are a handsome man, if you google io rockson and you could you google power outage I was comparing what are do you feel like you made along the path to success that slowed you down, yeah i. Think it’s the first of all. The errors that I made was in the process of short cuts out, feel like yeah, of course, and I’m, not that dumb question. But I was already at a time, and I was very glad. You got to do that, but the problem was i. Wasn’t there that wasn’t i? Couldn’t he can’t fake? What happened is the next thing that happened was once I saw. A few patients was. The time is so I can work out my skill-set, let’s look at what happened last 4 years to the election, the dissension that cost the brexit and all these people now so I can reach out to me and say hey. You can come in this for 2 years and I’ll company. We don’t know how to talk to people not showing up to work is always in the soundtrack passive-aggressive trump endorsement is this:what you’re doing are you trying to take over this podcast and endorse trump? Is that what you’re doing okay I just got through it and it wasn’t like I was blocked, but it wasn’t because that’s how some business foundation, and so I can say this person isn’t doing it for a long time and check out. This is check out the process. That’s the kind of guy in this kind of guy you are, and then we took you to kind of break it down here in texas, relate to what you’re saying it’s the committee that process and his book mastery, whichever one has to go out there, and he said the time that leads to mastery-is dependent upon the intensity of focus. The most people are perpetually locked in the present. Their decisions are overly influenced by the most immediate events that you become emotional and describe their significance to a problem with your problem, they’re overly influenced by their most immediate event.

So you’re saying we need to commit to the process and I worry about the most recent events at the most recent rejection. Yeah, that’s what that’s what I’m saying I’m saying we need to take me to the process of person walks. It’s not going to be easy, but much like a lot of the second here goes to be like 50 feet or something like that. It’s any of those days are in the caribbean and success in all that. So it’s really a process. 702 paragon things that you do in the dark all the sudden come to light when you’re onstage the practice. How do you prepare for your puppy is that makes person-to-person sell I I do a lot of time. I was just typing the person’s name and then go around themselves and then, when I’m asking him business podcasts questions because I find a lot listening to learn when people are giving them you’re actually will step by step in the supposed to just tell them it’s producing and have them in a reverse engineer what they was thinking that there was doing. So that someone else can find themselves city to take your add, more value to the marketplace, to really take your career than some water, some skills that you’re, really you person you’re trying to hold it on this year, ultimate goal before I leave. This earth is to be looking at politics and look in the schools and looking at anything’s happening, but it’s kind of violence. What is happening with the response is to be quick to be aggressive or or defensive.

Brian tracy was just huge, for me is what what what helps you the most you’re at and what you don’t want. Somebody to laura course I’d like to hear your thoughts on that you let you know that, there’s a reason why I read by vanessa van edwards called captivate, obviously napoleon hill, think and grow rich, but then you think there’s one more that I can think of right now.

If you want to do-or we could learn practical skills for me that likes to read verbally identify an industry that you want to you want to own, and if you’re not an expert there think of ways you can come to google. Look at that industry, what I mean by being the google got any trees. I want you to be able to know what the trains are, the industry in the industry and what the top blogs are in industry in top podcasts and blogs.

Are you should be taking time out of your day to come through the comments to see what the the pain points are and, as he starts here, to create these notes, based on these things, have enough of a library of what’s going on the industry that you can, then one have content to produce based on what you’ve observed, but also be more informed based on the trans you see, and there is a curator in the information age is as valuable as an expert in the information in because, if you’re the person, that is the go-to person who understands what’s going on I’m coming, she actually moved out and I also makes you some of that you’re not be able to answer the shortage you wanted to just kiss. You got a lot going on and a lot of our listeners when they hear somebody that your voice, like yours are going to look you up. What is the problem that you can solve for all the listeners and how could they get in touch with you out there listening?

Alright, tribe nation, that was my phone business podcasts conversation, an interview with tayo rockson, if you’re out there and you say cash, what should I do as a result of this podcast out there and get the book mastery by robert, greene mastery by robert greene.

That book that title recommended is a game-changer in a world where people are they struggle so much with distractions. The book mastery is all about focusing in on what matters the world gets to the world struggles of boredom, but the truly great people board down I mean think about this. Tiger woods didn’t hop from sport to sport. Michael jordan tried to hop to a different sporty realize. Okay, I only have a mastery of one sport, notable quotable from mastery I want to go to end on this note of a chord. Won’t you think about this about. How does this notable quotable apply to your life in and how can, if you, what are we? Maybe we missing the mark here, robert greene his book mastery, it’s a study of the most successful people on the planet and how they got to be great at something he says in the future. The great division will be between those who have the train themselves to handle these complexities and those were overwhelmed by the complexities, those acquired skills and discipline their mind and those were irrevocably distracted by all the medium all the media around them and can never focus enough to learn in the business podcasts future. The great division will be between those who have train themselves to handle the complexities of modern life and those were overwhelmed by then those who can acquire skills and discipline their minds and those who are irrevocably distracted by all the media around them and can never focus enough to learn. My friend you got to focus in the question today is:what do you need to focus on?

We talked about it often to call the f6 life, so what you want to do you want take to you want to eat with it every day today take time every day to take time to date, a time tomorrow, I literally, do this every single day at any of any members of the thrive nation, whoever emailed me and if ever shadow middle seat at every single day, I get up 1 hour minimum before i, see a single person and I methodically plan out my day, I die i, ask myself what are my goals today for my faith? What are my goals for my family? What are my goals for my fitness? What are my goals by friendship? What are my goals for my family, faith, family finances, fitness friendship funny face family finances, fitness, friendship, fun! You absolutely have to do this every single day every single business podcasts day, if you don’t get anything else out of today’s business podcasts, if you will read the book mastery to understand what it takes to master something and if you will get up every single day, 1 hour before you see a single person or if you’re a night owl out there. If your night owl you you you what you want to do, is you during night owl?

You want to stay up an hour after everyone’s gone to that or if you’re, an early riser an hour before you see a single person and ask yourself what are your goals today for your faith, your family, through finances, pure fitness for your friendship, your fun and then you must take the next step in the next episode. Whatever takes. You want to actually ask yourself when am I going to take that action. So if you have to go to write a book today, let’s say you can’t put on your to-do list write a book. That’s not it! It’s not a genuine goal. It’s it’s not realistic, but you can put on your on your on your to-do list right chapter, one of my book at 5 a.M. Tomorrow. Will you couldn’t do what you can block it in your calendar and say work out every single day, monday through I from 526? What’s not  business podcasts realistic, is these big big girl she got to break down. The big calls into small steps in discipline is the bridge between the big goals and the execution of those goals. My name is clyde clark tire rocks and thank you, sir, for being on the podcast with any further ado 3
