Fear is Universal

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000 How do young men like us who didn't listen to society, who are on our own, how do we 2 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:15,920 grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow? That is the question, 3 00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:23,240 and this will give you the answers. My name is James Retzinski, and this is the Ascend 4 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,000 Momentum Show. 5 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:35,000 Welcome back everybody. Today I want to talk about something that came up today. So today, 6 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:52,680 I was participating in ClickFunnels, your first funnel challenge, and I was doing day 7 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:59,680 one, and while watching that, some big things came up. Really, business is not difficult 8 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:17,520 at all physically. It's 100% mental. Anyone can do it. You just have to be able to push 9 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:24,520 through the mental struggles you have to keep pushing through. One thing that I realized, 10 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:38,520 I really realized before, I talked about this in my guidebook, self-improvement guidebook, 11 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:45,520 and it's a quote that got me to keep reading, but this quote came back to me today. What 12 00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,200 I talked about originally in the self-improvement guidebook is you're not who you are. The 13 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:07,200 quote is something like you aren't who you need to be to get the life you want to have. 14 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,200 It's something like that. So in order to be who you need to be to be able to have the 15 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:19,200 life you want, you have to keep working, growing, and improving, and learning more and more. 16 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:26,200 I only found that applicable with my reading, with learning and reading, but it came back 17 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:33,200 to me in the webinar and this person said, this comfort helps you grow to become the 18 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,000 one you need to be. So I just wanted to be able to be who you are. I just wanted to be 19 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:48,000 who you are. So I just wanted to be who you are. So I just wanted to be who you are. 20 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:18,000 I just wanted to be who you are. So I just wanted to be who you are. So I just wanted 21 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:48,000 to be who you are. So I just wanted to be who you are. So I just wanted to be who you 22 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:18,000 are. So I just wanted to be who you are. So I just wanted to be who you are. So I just 23 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:48,000 wanted to be who you are. So I just wanted to be who you are. So I just wanted to be who 24 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,040 Answers to help you from his experience which death his answers definitely help and he 25 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,480 Definitely has a better idea of how to move forward than most people 26 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,160 But the thing is he doesn't he's if he were to start a brand-new business today 27 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:10,680 He still would feel that fear of the unknown because he does not know what is in store 28 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,520 so that's really 29 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,720 motivating to me because 30 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:23,400 Nobody knows what they're doing so now I can move forward without knowing what I'm doing and not feel 31 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,360 Well, I'll still feel worried and nervous and scared 32 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:34,320 But at least I'll realize that that's everyone there's not a single person who knows the future and 33 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,640 everyone had to go through these experiences and 34 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:43,400 It's only the people who push through it who are successful and 35 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,400 And that's gonna be me 36 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:01,520 So I've over I've gone through some many discomforts and 37 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,760 The past like 12 days 38 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,120 so over the past maybe 30 days I've been journaling and 39 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,840 And 40 00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:15,280 Pretty consistently I started like 30 days ago 41 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,400 And have been journaling every day since 42 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,440 Just tracking my progress writing down 43 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:32,200 Answers to my day like what I did that day and if I was moving forward just basic stuff and 44 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,320 Over the past 12 days I 45 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,840 Have not done a single thing 46 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,160 I've just been distracting myself and 47 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,720 Enough is enough I have to move forward now I have all the tools I need 48 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,720 in order to move forward and 49 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,680 I'm gonna move forward 50 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:09,320 It's gonna be scary, but that's the whole point the whole point is to filter out people who are not ready to 51 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,640 obtain their life 52 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,640 But I'm ready 53 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,840 So 54 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,240 That 55 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,240 That was a lot and 56 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,000 And I just have to keep reminding myself that 57 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,520 Their discomfort is how you grow 58 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:44,000 But let me tell you one thing that I came to a realization last night during my meditative journaling 59 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,360 Which is a habit that I recommend everyone do meditate for 30 60 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:56,120 set a chunk of time of 30 minutes before you go to bed and just meditate and have a journal near you and 61 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,600 first you 62 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,360 Journal I always answer four questions 63 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,120 At off the bat what did I do today to move towards my goals? 64 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,480 Is this actually helping me or am I just distracting myself? 65 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,800 another question I ask is 66 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,400 Am I doing enough and then the last question I ask is 67 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,400 What should I do tomorrow? I? 68 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,160 Just answer those and then once I answer those I meditate 69 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,360 for the remainder of the 30 minutes and 70 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,880 If any thoughts pop up into mind I 71 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,000 That is important. I always write it down and I came through some 72 00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:45,760 Extremely valuable insights. This is probably one of the best habits that I 73 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,920 Begun doing 20 to 30 days ago 74 00:08:49,920 --> 00:09:00,120 But I want to tell you the lesson that I learned last night during my meditative journaling and 75 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,760 Over these past cut like 10 12 days that I haven't really done anything I 76 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,560 Realized last night why that is and it's because I 77 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,800 Don't have a vision for my business. I don't have a vision for my life. I 78 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,000 I 79 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,240 Kind of when I was reading reality Transurfing during the slides portion. I 80 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,800 went through and 81 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:34,560 Kind of just went through the motions and kind of made a generic slide of like a dream house, but it's not really 82 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,440 Specialized to me. I like made many things that I would like but didn't really take the time 83 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,720 to go through it and 84 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,720 And also I didn't have any 85 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:55,920 Slides that I like to call mini slides or tiny slides a mini slide. I came up with last night 86 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,040 It's basically what he says in the book is 87 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,720 The vision or the goal in at towards the end of your current lifeline 88 00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:11,360 Which is or your current transfer link which 89 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,400 So for example, if I was just beginning my business my 90 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,320 The end slide for my current transfer link would be maybe to 91 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,480 Make my first sale or something like that, but then that would be my 92 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,680 Or let's say my mini slide 93 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,680 When I am just getting into business would be to move out 94 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,920 Then make enough money to move out 95 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:42,080 But then my tiny slide would be even smaller than that and it would be to make my first sale and then 96 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,960 What I did after that was break it down into steps. So 97 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:54,400 for that the first step would be create a website or create a funnel and 98 00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:57,680 That's step one, but and 99 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:03,800 Then I also realize that you can't know step two unless until you actually finish step one 100 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:09,880 So only focus on a percent on step one and then come up with step two and then just keep moving forward 101 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,800 What and then keep running the slide in your mind what he says in reality? 102 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,200 Transurfing is 103 00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:25,040 Run the slide and then keep moving and then place one foot in front of the other so that's just 104 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,360 Keep thinking about the slide and then take action 105 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,320 and 106 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,760 Stay present only think about that 107 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,160 So that's why I came to realize last night 108 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,840 So that's the lesson have a vision and 109 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,640 What else was it have a vision and also 110 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:59,000 Nobody knows what they're doing fear is universal 111 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,360 All right, that's the end of the episode 112 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:22,360 Have a great day
