Hey, there's a few good men out there. I want to tell you a reason I'm saying that. My family gets onto me a lot of times, they'll say, "Man you hammer these guys you're always saying what they don't do. You need to reach out sometimes and say the good things that they do." And it made me feel about that tall. I said, "Man, you're right you know." I do these guys pretty hot and heavy sometimes but I want to tell you something we've got some of the most outstanding men on the planet in Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind Group. Now I got to confess a couple of things to you though in regards to telling you how happy I am and excited about the good job that they do. I planned an event coming up pretty soon and there was a number of guys that I invited to this event and one of the guys that I knew were going to be there. I mean it was no question he needed to be there and I needed him to be there. He turned me down bigger than Dallas! He's like, "I can't make it." And I'm like, "Well what is the deal? Where are you gonna be?" And he said, "Well my 17 year old daughter graduates from high school this year. She's gonna be going off to college and she's got an event at school and parents are asked to be there. And I don't want to miss it." And I'm like, "Are you kidding me? I mean this is a big deal event!" And he's like, "Hey, let me tell you something. This is a big deal. This is my daughter." And then I started thinking about I said. You know, he's doing exactly what I've been teaching all these years. He's excited me after I got mad! It excited me to think that he would stand up and honor his daughter more so than a business transaction!

Does your interest level outweigh or exceed your level of commitment? Man, it’s a hot topic that we're discussing in Iron Sharpens Iron each and every week. And I want to discuss it with you guys.
We talk to some organizations where the interest level is huge but there's very little commitment. And I started asking myself some questions. Why? Why is that they don't have people around them to help propel them to the next level? They're not there to encourage them. There's no accountability. The list goes on and on and on. But what I'm finding out is when people surround themselves with people that are interested, of like minds, have the same core values, have the same principles in mind as they do, they catapults them to the next level. Let me ask you. I know you're interested but how committed are you? Are you willing to take the time and certain energy and the resources and put

The number of one-on-one clients that I have today are guys that are needing to stop the bleeding and I tell everybody, "listen, when you get hurt in an accident what's the first thing they start to do? They stop the bleeding!" I want to talk to you this morning about stopping the bleeding. Here's the deal. We have priorities. We have things that are important to us but many guys are trapped. Lie, you're in a situation financially where you just don't know what to do. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to stop the bleeding. I want you to put a stake in the ground and say, "You know what, from this day forward I'm going to make some changes." You've got to decide what your priorities are. Is it really your face or your family? Or is it really something else?

The theme of this is, are you counting the cost? The things that you're doing today, are you counting the cost? We've got to be honest to ourselves. We've got to count the cost on the things that we've got and here many of you don't want to do that because you'll have to admit that maybe you made a mistake! It's the sunk bias. It's like, I'm in this far, I might as well stay. Well, that's insanity! We can't keep doing that! You've got to count the cost at whatever you're doing.
