People ask me all the time in coaching because I coach guys every da...."Big A,what's one of the best things that I can do to be successful", and I'll tell you right now.... it's to be committed! Not just interested!
Many of you have great ideas. I want to tell you right now the idea is not the problem. The problem is you're interested but you're not committed! You've got to say, "I'm willing to burn the ships". "I'm willing to set this aside". "I'm willing to delay gratification for the greater good of this project".

Is it even possible to expect nothing from others just to get not disappointed? But I do want to tell you this. It has played out well in life over the years. We really have unmet expectations that causes huge disappointments in our lives. "Expect nothing from anyone and you will never be disappointed" is thru. You know why? We do not know people's situation. Even family members. We really do not know the road that they are going thru. We do not know the whole story. We do not know their history. We do not know the whole perspective..
What we should do is be focusing on what we are responsible of doing - the things that we should be doing.

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. Like, 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.
