Why do something that's not inspiring, weigh yourself down?
Speaker:When you can liberate yourself,
Speaker:free yourself to do what you really love to do and give opportunities to other
Speaker:people to do the same.
Speaker:This is one of the most significant topics of living a
Speaker:self-actualized and inspired life in fact that I want to address
Speaker:this. So if you have something to write with,
Speaker:write on or take notes or type somewhere to gather the information you might
Speaker:want to do that.
Speaker:First I want you to write this down,
Speaker:that each individual, you,
Speaker:everyone you meet has a set of priorities,
Speaker:a set of values that they live their life by,
Speaker:and it's fingerprint specific. Their values are unique.
Speaker:Their hierarchy of values are unique.
Speaker:Whenever they are doing something that is truly highest
Speaker:on their list of values, truly most important, truly most meaningful,
Speaker:the thing that spontaneously inspires them, that they can't wait to go and do,
Speaker:when they do those and they achieve and fulfill what it is that's most
Speaker:meaningful, their self worth goes up, their confidence goes up,
Speaker:their belief in themselves goes up in other words, their self-worth goes up,
Speaker:they automatically expand their space and time horizons,
Speaker:they automatically wake up their natural born leader and they give
Speaker:themselves permission to go and pursue something greater.
Speaker:And the brain, your brain,
Speaker:with its subcortical regions that are filtering mechanisms,
Speaker:filter the reality most effectively,
Speaker:make decisions most efficiently and take actions that are
Speaker:most effective. Whenever you are doing something that's highest.
Speaker:Now, as you go down the list of values in an individual into lower values,
Speaker:because they are less valuable in you in your mind, less fulfilling,
Speaker:less meaningful, you're less engaged, you're less enthused,
Speaker:less inspired, less present with them.
Speaker:It's like a young boy doing his video games. He loves doing his video games.
Speaker:He can do it all day and forgets time thinking about it, doing it.
Speaker:But if he happen to do his chores, he procrastinates, hesitates, and frustrates.
Speaker:So anytime you're doing lower priority actions, you tend to procrastinate,
Speaker:hesitate, and frustrated. And anytime you're doing high priority actions,
Speaker:you tend to be disciplined, reliable, and focused. Now that's significant.
Speaker:And it's so simple it's ridiculous. We
Speaker:sometimes overlook the obvious, the elusive obvious,
Speaker:how important that one statement is.
Speaker:If you don't fill your day with high priority actions that inspire you,
Speaker:your day is going to fill up with low priority distractions that don't.
Speaker:There's a principle in the universe called entropy. It's a thermodynamic law,
Speaker:if you don't bring order to things, disorder ensues and takes over.
Speaker:Just like if you don't invest your money into assets, depreciable,
Speaker:consumable liabilities will take it away.
Speaker:That's why the wealthy always pay themselves first and don't wait to see if
Speaker:there's anything left over, cause unexpected bills come in to destroy it.
Speaker:Now this principle is universal. You're not going to violate it.
Speaker:It's solid. I'm certain about it.
Speaker:I've been doing it and using it for 40 years now.
Speaker:And if you don't fill your day with high priority actions,
Speaker:it's going to fill up with low priority distractions.
Speaker:If you don't fill your day with high priority challenges,
Speaker:it's going to fill up with low priority challenges, things you don't want. Now,
Speaker:this leads us to the principle of delegation.
Speaker:If you're not filling your day with high priority actions that are meaningful
Speaker:and inspiring and productive,
Speaker:and that serve people that you become remunerated for,
Speaker:and you end up having an income for,
Speaker:that inspires you and doing what you love and getting paid for it and having
Speaker:sustainable fair exchange with people,
Speaker:you won't have the income to delegate the lower priority things.
Speaker:And your day will become consumed by low priority actions.
Speaker:And when it's consumed by low priority actions, you depreciate yourself.
Speaker:You devalue yourself, you lose confidence in yourself,
Speaker:you brain load and offload decisions to others and subordinate to the
Speaker:conforming of the outside herd, and you become a follower,
Speaker:not a leader. You want to be a leader you have to live by the highest priority.
Speaker:If you want to be a follower, you live by lower priorities.
Speaker:So if you're not delegating lower priority actions,
Speaker:you're not liberating yourself from the things that are weighing you down,
Speaker:that you aren't inspired to do, that distract and that you procrastinate,
Speaker:hesitate, and frustrate on, you become less efficient, less effective,
Speaker:less profoundly impactful.
Speaker:So delegation is an absolutely essential component in self-actualization.
Speaker:Delegation is an essential aspect of living an inspired life.
Speaker:I fill my day with research, writing, and teaching.
Speaker:Most of it's teaching. My highest priority,
Speaker:my highest value is teaching and learning is second.
Speaker:So if I'm not learning, if I'm not teaching, I'm learning.
Speaker:And I'm teaching through every possible vehicle.
Speaker:And when I fill my day with that and I learn and I do that,
Speaker:and I delegate the rest away, I'm liberated from an uninspired life.
Speaker:And I end up making more income, reaching more people,
Speaker:having more impact and living more inspired.
Speaker:Delegation is an absolutely essential component. When you delegate though,
Speaker:you're going to micromanage and get distracted,
Speaker:having to manage people if you don't get somebody that you delegate to,
Speaker:that has the delegated responsibilities high on their value.
Speaker:So when you're screening people to delegate,
Speaker:if you're not finding out what is their highest values and not finding out how
Speaker:specifically the things you want to delegate, the duties, responsibilities,
Speaker:you know, the actions that you're going to give them,
Speaker:if they can't see how it's helping them fulfill their highest values,
Speaker:they're not going to want to do it.
Speaker:And then you're going to end up having to micromanage them and oversee them and
Speaker:distract yourself from something that's producing more. And it's ineffective.
Speaker:It is essential to find somebody who would love to do more effectively
Speaker:and efficiently than you do, the actions that you want to delegate.
Speaker:And it's that simple, not easy to always find.
Speaker:It may take you a few people to find it, but the screening according to values,
Speaker:on my website is a Value Determination process. It's for everybody,
Speaker:it's complimentary dr.demartini.com,
Speaker:determine your values is on there.
Speaker:Please familiarize yourself with that tool.
Speaker:And when you hire somebody don't ever hire anybody without going through that
Speaker:tool with them,
Speaker:and finding out what they're really committed to and what they value.
Speaker:Because if you hire somebody that's not inspired to do what you want to
Speaker:delegate, you'll end up having to go oversee it all the time,
Speaker:distract yourself from what can produce more.
Speaker:And you're down depreciating yourself, micromanaging and frustrating yourself.
Speaker:But find somebody who would absolutely love to do it. When you do,
Speaker:you increase the economy, you increase job opportunities,
Speaker:you increase employment, you increase the exchange of money,
Speaker:the trading and purchasing.
Speaker:The whole overall economy goes up when you delegate properly. Now,
Speaker:if you're not delegating and you're trapped,
Speaker:you're going to lower your vitality. You're going to lower your self image.
Speaker:Our self image and self worth are proportionate to how
Speaker:priority things. It's really that simple.
Speaker:I'd like to give you an example of something that I did that liberated me,
Speaker:that helped my business and then I'd like to tell you another example,
Speaker:another story that I think will be pertinent,
Speaker:because maybe you think, 'Well, I don't even have a business.
Speaker:How am I going to delegate? I'm maybe at home.' Well,
Speaker:I'm gonna apply to both of them. When I was 27 years old,
Speaker:I had opened up my practice and I had one assistant at the time.
Speaker:It just opened up in October. And here it is around November,
Speaker:so it's six weeks or so in I guess,
Speaker:it's a couple of weeks before my birthday at 28.
Speaker:And I realized that I was doing everything in my practice. I mean,
Speaker:from picking up trash, to doing supplies, to everything,
Speaker:administrative work, everything else. And I thought, 'Wow,
Speaker:I went to 10 years of college, almost for this?.
Speaker:This is not what I'm inspired by. I want to do the clinical work.
Speaker:I want to work with patients and things.' And I was bogged down in things,
Speaker:actions. So I went to a Walden's bookstore, which is
Speaker:Dalton's and Walden's were the bookstores at the time,
Speaker:before Borders came about and before Amazon came about,
Speaker:and I was led to a book called 'The Time Trap' by Alec Mackenzie.
Speaker:It's still out there, still a great book, it's been updated.
Speaker:I like the original one more than the one that's here now,
Speaker:but still it's a great book.
Speaker:And as I read through that and circled and underlined and became familiar with
Speaker:the book and extracted from it, I realized that I was in my way,
Speaker:and I was going to limit my growth if I didn't delegate, I had to delegate.
Speaker:And I realized that the reasons why I wasn't delegating is because well I
Speaker:thought, well, by the time I could have delegated and explained it to them,
Speaker:I could have done it. Well,
Speaker:the way I do it better than they do it and they're not going to do it the way I
Speaker:want so I'm gonna be frustrated. Or, you know,
Speaker:might as well just get it done, I need to know how to do it anyway.
Speaker:And I came up with all my reasons and excuses for doing it.
Speaker:So I was trapped doing a $10 to $20 an hour job back then,
Speaker:which probably be worth around 40 or 50 now.
Speaker:But a $10 to $20 an hour job back then,
Speaker:when I was capable of earning a $1000, $2,000 an hour more,
Speaker:if I was doing what I really was skilled for. And
Speaker:I realized that I was devaluing myself and diluting my business because I was
Speaker:diluting what my was doing per hour. And so I got this book,
Speaker:I summarized it and I created a chart.
Speaker:And you might want to get a piece of paper out and draw this chart,
Speaker:it's a very significant chart.
Speaker:I put a piece of paper together and I put five lines equally dispersed on it to
Speaker:where I had six equal space columns. In the first column,
Speaker:I wrote down what I was doing in a day.
Speaker:And I wrote down every single thing that I did in a day at home and at work,
Speaker:from the time I got up to the time I went to bed over about a three month
Speaker:period,
Speaker:because certain days of the week I did certain things differently than others.
Speaker:So I wanted to include every single thing that I did and I wrote every thing
Speaker:action I did. I didn't write down sales, marketing, too broad, too general.
Speaker:I wrote down specific actions.
Speaker:Write down every single action you do in a day,
Speaker:nitpicky actions you might do in a day; answer the telephone, write an email,
Speaker:whatever it may be, every single action you do, managing things,
Speaker:checking up on things and looking on the internet, whatever you might do,
Speaker:write down what you do. In other words take a day and literally look over it,
Speaker:video it and look at it objectively. What do you do in a day?
Speaker:After you've made that list,
Speaker:you're going to be humbled because you're going to realize you're emphasizing
Speaker:and putting energy into something that's not really most important.
Speaker:You're majoring in minors and minoring in majors in all probability. In fact,
Speaker:everybody I've ever done this with, I found this.
Speaker:And the second column you write down, what does it produce per hour?
Speaker:How much income does that action generate?
Speaker:Because if you're doing something that serves people,
Speaker:you're generating an income,
Speaker:you're in fair exchange with them and if they value it and you're filling their
Speaker:needs, they're going to pay for it. And if you're not, well,
Speaker:then you're not doing any that fills anybody needs. There's no service.
Speaker:There's no fulfillment life, unless you're serving somebody. Not just yourself,
Speaker:narcissism and just self absorption, doesn't get you fulfillment.
Speaker:And altruism and sacrificing yourself doesn't do it. But having a fair,
Speaker:sustainable exchange does. So how much is it producing per hour? Well,
Speaker:I went down this list and you know,
Speaker:whatever I was doing from exams to blood work to your analysis, to you know,
Speaker:everything I was doing, I was extrapolating it based on per hour.
Speaker:So if I spent 20 minutes on it, I multiplied X 3, if I spent 10 minutes,
Speaker:I multiply it X 6, if I spent two hours on it, divided by half.
Speaker:And when I did that,
Speaker:I realized that my hour was being consumed by quite a variable
Speaker:amount of income generators.
Speaker:And then I found out that a good 20 to 30% of what I was doing was zero.
Speaker:That means I was just doing something, I wasn't producing anything,
Speaker:not serving anybody, not getting income, et cetera.
Speaker:And I noticed that when I was doing it, it was uninspiring to me.
Speaker:I felt bogged down and frustrated by it and devalued, which is understandable.
Speaker:So I made a list of what it produced per hour. And that was an eye-opener,
Speaker:a major eye-opener. Cause then I realized, okay, now from this, and by the way,
Speaker:when I did this,
Speaker:I found out that even though I went almost 10 years to college to be a
Speaker:specialist in spinal concerns at the time,
Speaker:I realized that my actual,
Speaker:most productive thing I could do was going out and speaking and sharing the
Speaker:message of what I might be able to do for people.
Speaker:So out there actually speaking to audiences produce the most
Speaker:patients, which generate the most income per hour, which was astonishing.
Speaker:And I realized that if I'm sitting there in my cubicle,
Speaker:I'm actually undermining my potential growth. And that was a shock to make,
Speaker:to find that out. In the third column,
Speaker:I wrote down how much meaning does it have on a one to 10 scale.
Speaker:And the thing at the top 10,
Speaker:meant it was very inspiring and I couldn't wait to get up and do it.
Speaker:And a 1 or 0 down there was something I did as drudgery. I didn't want to do it.
Speaker:I had to do it, got to do it. I was by duty instead of design.
Speaker:So I basically wrote it down in 1 to 10 scale.
Speaker:And then I noticed that some of the ones that were most productive and produced
Speaker:the most income and the ones that were most inspiring happened to match luckily,
Speaker:and then some of the ones didn't but most of them did,
Speaker:which that gave me encouragement,
Speaker:cause if I can do the thing that's most meaningful and I can do the thing that's
Speaker:most productive, I can't wait to get up in the morning and do it.
Speaker:And now the next column was how much would it cost me to delegate that to
Speaker:somebody and find a specialist to do it to the same quality and quantity that I
Speaker:can do it? And that meant everything, not just salaries,
Speaker:but the use of space, the training, the insurance,
Speaker:the parking, the equipment, the computer, the telephone, every single cost,
Speaker:I want to know what the cost of somebody to do that, to get the same job done,
Speaker:et cetera. And then when I put those down,
Speaker:that took me a bit of time cause I had to think it through,
Speaker:I then looked at where the biggest spreads were between what produced per hour
Speaker:versus what it costs per hour if I delegated so I
Speaker:of an individual and allow them to have a job and me to have more profit.
Speaker:And I was able to do what was most meaningful to me
Speaker:able to delegate. And then the next column I wrote down,
Speaker:how much time did I spend on each of these actions?
Speaker:The actual amount of minutes I did per day.
Speaker:And the very last column is the final prioritization,
Speaker:and on that final prioritization I put that in layers,
Speaker:I took the ones that were most productive,
Speaker:the most meaningful and productive things I put them at the top.
Speaker:And whenever where there was a big gap between production and meaning and
Speaker:something else, I separated them into layers. Because I wanted to,
Speaker:I knew that if I was out there with, I was a man on a mission with a message,
Speaker:sharing that message was the most productive thing I
Speaker:television and talking and speaking and leveraging myself.
Speaker:And the second most important thing was me actually,
Speaker:clinically being in there with clients. And then I went down that list.
Speaker:And doing paperwork and changing supplies and doing cleaning,
Speaker:that's way at the bottom.
Speaker:So what I did is I put it in layers based on productivity and meaning,
Speaker:and based on how much spread there was.
Speaker:And then I layered it into layers and I hired somebody to do the lowest
Speaker:delegated layer. And then the next layer, and the next layer,
Speaker:and the next layer. And over an 18 month period,
Speaker:I went from a single office with myself and one assistant to 5 doctors and
Speaker:12 staff members with a 5,000 square foot office instead of a less than a
Speaker:thousand square foot office. And my income tenfolded.
Speaker:Now that was significant because I realized that unless I delegated,
Speaker:I was in my way.
Speaker:So delegation is crucial.So I'm trying to make a point that if you're not
Speaker:filling your day with the highest priority, most
Speaker:the most inspiring, most impactful actions,
Speaker:you have no one but to look at it in the mirror except yourself,
Speaker:why you're not fulfilled and inspired and productive and profitable and
Speaker:prosperous. It's that simple. If you really care about people and yourself,
Speaker:you're going want to fulfill their highest values,
Speaker:you're going to fulfill yours. Fulfilling yours is the one that means meaning.
Speaker:And fulfilling theirs is the one that's productive. And if you do that,
Speaker:any time you do that,
Speaker:you're rewarded and you automatically can scale that if you delegate,
Speaker:you can't scale without delegation, you're trapped.
Speaker:That's why they call it the time trap.
Speaker:Now I was in Washington and I was teaching the Breakthrough Experience program.
Speaker:And by the way, if you don't fill day with high priority actions,
Speaker:it fills up a low priority distractions. But the same for the week, the month,
Speaker:a year, a decade, a generation and a life.
Speaker:That's one of the reasons I teach my program, Master Planning For Life.
Speaker:Master Planning For Life is about taking command of how you want your life in a
Speaker:way you can structure it,
Speaker:you can liberate yourself and increase your productivity, your profitability,
Speaker:and your fulfillment level. That's the whole reason I put that together.
Speaker:Once I realized that, I just became a relentless in the pursuit of that.
Speaker:And I did it in all areas of my life, not just my business, but in every area,
Speaker:prioritizing what I read, prioritizing who I hung out with,
Speaker:prioritizing where I went, prioritizing the places that I surround myself,
Speaker:prioritizing where I viewed, you know,
Speaker:everything got prioritized because I realized that that's a principle of life.
Speaker:If you're not living by priority, it's automatically going to be disempowering.
Speaker:So I'm in Washington, I'm doing the Breakthrough Experience,
Speaker:which is my signature program, which I've done 1,117 times coming up.
Speaker:And what's interesting is there's a lovely lady there who spoke up.
Speaker:And she said, 'Well, I am at home. I'm a stay home mom now.
Speaker:I was a doctor, but when my third child came,
Speaker:I decided to stay home.' And she says,
Speaker:'I'm frustrated because my husband's not helping around the house and
Speaker:I'm feeling trapped.' And I said to her, I said, 'Okay, you were in practice.
Speaker:When you were in practice,
Speaker:what kind of money could you generate per hour?' And she said, 'Well,
Speaker:it really wasn't too much, maybe 600 to $800 an hour.' 'Okay.
Speaker:And right now you're doing all kinds of things.
Speaker:Let's list what you're doing at home.' And she was cleaning.
Speaker:And because she'd read a bunch of what I call tofu mama
Speaker:books on how to raise children, she was cleaning natural cotton diapers,
Speaker:she's making organic purees, she was doing it all.
Speaker:And I said, she's doing what she believes is best for the child,
Speaker:but what she was doing is taking a 600 to $800 an hour person and
Speaker:putting them down into a 10 to $15 an hour job,
Speaker:maybe $20 an hour job.
Speaker:And so I made her list everything she was doing in a day.
Speaker:And I had her go through this process, how much they're producing per hour,
Speaker:which was zero. How much is it? How much meaning was it?
Speaker:And some of them were meaningful and some of them were not,
Speaker:they were meaningful to her kids, but not her. And that's a big factor.
Speaker:She thought,
Speaker:because what she was doing is she was subordinating to the outer authority of a
Speaker:lady who wrote a book,
Speaker:who never had a doctorate degree and probably couldn't make more than $25 an
Speaker:hour at the time, and they were writing the book, she thought, 'Oh,
Speaker:they're the expert.
Speaker:I got to follow their footsteps.' But if you follow the values of other people,
Speaker:you'll automatically self depreciate yourself.
Speaker:So what we did is we made a list of everything she was doing and she was
Speaker:cleaning and she was cooking and she was going to the grocery store and she's
Speaker:spending time with the kids and she was educating them and we prioritized those,
Speaker:we found out how much they actually produced - zero.
Speaker:We found out how much it would cost to get that delegated.
Speaker:And then we realized that if she worked eight hours a week,
Speaker:two hours a day, four days a week,
Speaker:eight hours to keep her life based on her education and keep her in the
Speaker:game and keep her from losing her faculties in that area, she could,
Speaker:if she made 600 even or 700, let's say 700 x 8,
Speaker:$5600 a week. If she did, that's $20 something thousand a year.
Speaker:She could pay somebody 2,500 to $3,000 a month to take care of the cleaning,
Speaker:the driving around, the grocery shopping,
Speaker:the management of food substances and everything else. And anyway,
Speaker:when she did, she was not bitching at her husband when she finally got that,
Speaker:we ended up structuring that, we got her that, she started working,
Speaker:she had somebody to do that. Instead of expecting her husband to do it.
Speaker:He didn't want to do it.
Speaker:And he had to work more because she wasn't working and he didn't want to do that
Speaker:because that's de-valuing him. And he was making 1200 to $1,500 an hour.
Speaker:So what the heck? He was now liberated. She was now liberated. You know,
Speaker:the lower the socioeconomic,
Speaker:the more you pass your lifestyle onto your kids
Speaker:and they just duplicate.
Speaker:Low socioeconomic poor people that just typically follow in the footstems as a
Speaker:trade, they're trade trained, and then become an apprentice under a trade.
Speaker:But people that go up the socioeconomics because they've delegated and because
Speaker:they've risen end up with specialties and get more advanced income from it and
Speaker:serve more vast numbers with scale. And so the question is,
Speaker:is where do you want to play in the game of life?
Speaker:Delegation liberates you from the bondage of weighing yourself down,
Speaker:doing things that are uninspiring, living by duty,
Speaker:living by what you think you should do, ought to do, everything else,
Speaker:because you haven't given yourself permission to go and do something that's
Speaker:deeply meaningful and traps you. Now, this lady made more income,
Speaker:put away college education funds, had more time for vacation with the kids,
Speaker:had higher quality tutoring for the kids,
Speaker:had more opportunity to go to museums and places and things with the kids.
Speaker:And she came home and the house was clean and the things were prepared.
Speaker:And the clothes were cleaned and the purees were done and everything else.
Speaker:And she didn't have to go stand in a grocery store line, which is ineffective.
Speaker:Even though today, you can order it online, but still,
Speaker:she changed her life because she prioritized her life and she delegated.
Speaker:I cannot tell you how important delegation is.
Speaker:You're not going to live an absolutely inspired life every minute you
Speaker:do something that isn't inspiring.
Speaker:And nobody's going to get up in the morning and dedicate to life to your
Speaker:fulfillment. Nobody's going to dedicate that delegations and structure.
Speaker:If you're not pursuing what's really most important.
Speaker:So you want to ask yourself,
Speaker:what is the highest priority action I can do today to serve the greatest number
Speaker:of people in the most efficient,
Speaker:effective way that allows me to be inspired and to help inspire
Speaker:other people? If you do that,
Speaker:you're going to move in a direction of an inspired life.
Speaker:You're going to end up delegating your way into liberty. And I mean liberty.
Speaker:Now, if you don't hire somebody that's inspired and you hire Z people,
Speaker:not A quality people,
Speaker:you're going to end up micromanaging and distracting yourself and be
Speaker:ineffective. And so delegation doesn't cost if it's done properly,
Speaker:it costs if it's not. So don't just have anybody make sure you go to the Value,
Speaker:Determination process on our website,
Speaker:make sure you go and find out who you're going to delegate to if they really
Speaker:love doing it, if
Speaker:they have no history of doing what you wanting to do and it's not their dream,
Speaker:they're probably not going to be engaged in doing it.
Speaker:You're going to have to probably, you know,
Speaker:micromanage them and push them up hill and remind them.
Speaker:Anytime you have to remind or motivate or extrinsically push somebody to do
Speaker:something, it's not intrinsically inspiring to them.
Speaker:It's not meaningful to them. It's not important to them.
Speaker:Don't waste your time hiring people that don't have that drive,
Speaker:or you're going to end up just frustrating yourself and it's going to cost you,
Speaker:not make you, cause you're not delegating,
Speaker:you're micro-managing thinking it's delegation.
Speaker:Hiring somebody micro-managing and trapping yourself is not delegation.
Speaker:Delegation is disseminating authority onto other people who are able and capable
Speaker:of doing what you want done more effective than you.
Speaker:And so you can get on with doing what you love doing, what you're effective at.
Speaker:That way you become great at what you do, they become great at what they do.
Speaker:And your specialties help. Ricardo's law of efficiency says,
Speaker:anytime you can get people to do their specialties it helps the expedite.
Speaker:My specialty is researching and teaching. If I'm able to do that,
Speaker:I do the most with my business and my life and have the most fulfillment.
Speaker:But if I sit and get micromanaged or go down and do some things that's not
Speaker:inspiring to me, down I go.
Speaker:So the key is to make sure that you identify what's really valuable to you,
Speaker:it goes back to where I started. Your hierarchy of values dictates your destiny.
Speaker:If you live by your highest values, your destiny is going to expand.
Speaker:If you live by lower values, your destiny is going to shrink.
Speaker:I think that's why they called psychologists shrinks,
Speaker:because most people are uninspired and don't know that and don't live wisely,
Speaker:they automatically end up at the shrink. And by the way,
Speaker:when you're living by your highest value,
Speaker:your blood glucose and oxygen goes into your forebrain,
Speaker:where you get creative vision, inspired vision, creative, strategic thinking,
Speaker:planning, foresight, a desire to execute, and self-governance, you're more calm,
Speaker:you're more centered, you're less impulsive, less
Speaker:less habitual, you're more creative and you're more innovative.
Speaker:And this is where you have the greatest genius.
Speaker:But if you don't live by highest value,
Speaker:your blood glucose and oxygen goes into your hind brain,
Speaker:or at least your amygdala down below, and this is where you're into avoid pain,
Speaker:seek pleasure.
Speaker:And this is people that want to avoid pain and seek pleasure only want to do
Speaker:things if it's pleasureful and if it's not, they want to give up.
Speaker:And they go and take a coffee and tea and sweets and porn
Speaker:and internet distractions and anything that distracts from their unengaged
Speaker:life, because they're not doing what they love.
Speaker:So don't surround yourself with people that are disengaged or you'll end up
Speaker:disengaged yourself. You'll have to go down and micromanage.
Speaker:Find somebody that would love to do what you want to delegate,
Speaker:liberate yourself and you'll be more efficient, they will make you money,
Speaker:you will make you money, they will make themselves money.
Speaker:The people will end up getting more advancement and you will exemplify what's
Speaker:possible for other people which draws and magnetizes opportunity and people,
Speaker:places, things, ideas,
Speaker:and events that your innermost dominant thought creates in your mind.
Speaker:How Thoughts Become Things is a new movie that you may want to go check out that
Speaker:I had the opportunity to be in,
Speaker:about how what your innermost dominant thought does become your outermost
Speaker:tangible reality.
Speaker:Your innermost dominant thought is an expression of your highest value.
Speaker:If you're not able to focus on your highest value because you're micromanaging
Speaker:and distracting and doing low priority stuff,
Speaker:your greatness and your creativity and the life that you dream about is not as
Speaker:easily manifested.
Speaker:So I just wanted to spend a few moments with you on the significance of
Speaker:delegation, because I know in my own life,
Speaker:they call me Mr. Delegator.
Speaker:I was doing a podcast a few days ago with a lovely lady
Speaker:here in Houston,
Speaker:amazing lady that has a podcast called CEO
Speaker:Blindspot and it's for CEOs and entrepreneurs.
Speaker:And we were discussing delegation.
Speaker:And I was jokingly saying that I delegate just about everything in my life.
Speaker:I've delegated everything. I don't wipe my butt with it,
Speaker:but I joke about that. And I don't really delegate lovemaking to other people,
Speaker:but I joke about it. And I was telling them on the show that, that if you,
Speaker:you know, when, when my girlfriend wants love making,
Speaker:if I tell her if I delegate it to,
Speaker:to Hugh Jackman or Brad Pitt to take care of the lovemaking,
Speaker:would you still love me? And she said,
Speaker:'Absolutely.' Because if I can give her more value, more efficiently,
Speaker:she'll appreciate that. And I'm joking, of course,
Speaker:but the point is that why do something that's not inspiring,
Speaker:weigh yourself down, when you can liberate yourself,
Speaker:free yourself to do what you really love to do and give opportunities to other
Speaker:people to do the same and help the economy, help the lives, help inspire.
Speaker:And I really believe that we are rewarded to the degree that we help ourselves
Speaker:and others live by the highest values.
Speaker:I believe our rewards in life and our fulfillment in life is going to be
Speaker:correlated with that. So anything you can do to delegate is to your advantage.
Speaker:So I want to take a moment to talk about delegation.
Speaker:I think I've shared most of it now. And so thank you
Speaker:for just contemplating the significance of what it can do for your life.
Speaker:And it may not be an easy thing. And when I first started doing it,
Speaker:I had a few pitfalls along the way, but I just kept, I read that book.
Speaker:I learned it. I followed that process. I kept doing it again.
Speaker:I did it every quarter and I looked at where I was now and I looked at what else
Speaker:I can delegate. And today I research, write and teach.
Speaker:And I don't have to do the rest of the stuff. I haven't checked on bills.
Speaker:I haven't driven a car. I haven't done administrative stuff. I haven't cooked.
Speaker:You know, I don't do anything other than what I'm most inspired to do.
Speaker:The rest of it is delegated way. And that is very liberating.
Speaker:And you're very grateful.
Speaker:You have way more to be grateful for in your life if you do that every day,
Speaker:I count my blessings and I'm grateful.
Speaker:I got the largest list of gratitude of any human being I've met.
Speaker:And I document it every day. And it's because of that process called delegation.
Speaker:Now, you're going to delegate further because the second you live by your lower
Speaker:values, you're going to shrink your vision.
Speaker:And whenever you live by your highest values, you're gonna expand your vision.
Speaker:I'd like to say something, I'd like to give you a gift.
Speaker:And this gift is something called Awakening Your Astronomical Vision.
Speaker:Now what this is, is what we're talking about.
Speaker:It's about delegating lower priority things,
Speaker:getting onto higher priority things, expanding your vision.
Speaker:Because if you don't have an astronomical vision,
Speaker:don't expect to make a global difference.
Speaker:You are not going to outgrow your vision. And if your vision is bigger,
Speaker:so is your life. And so is the cause. And so as the impact on your life.
Speaker:So take advantage of this little gift.
Speaker:It's $50 gift Awaking Your Astronomical Vision.
Speaker:It's a live presentation I did at a planetarium metaphorically.
Speaker:We did it to a group of CEOs and executives that had big businesses.
Speaker:And we share with them how to take and scale their lives up to the next level.
Speaker:And this is including their personal life and professional life.
Speaker:And I'm absolutely certain if you listen to this more than once,
Speaker:and most people do five or six times, it's going to give you a gift,
Speaker:it's going to give you an advantage and you're going to take notes and it's
Speaker:going to be helpful. It's practical, it's inspirational. It's mind expanding.
Speaker:It's going to give you a bigger vision and you may not have to be trapped doing
Speaker:low priority things. And I know this will help you.
Speaker:So take advantage of this gift. I want you to have that. I want you to use it,
Speaker:listen to it. Promise you'll listen to it.
Speaker:Cause I know you'll say thank you by listening to it more than once.
Speaker:It's filled with gems, you'll take notes.
Speaker:It will be something you can implement right away. It's useful.
Speaker:And if you feel you got something out of this little presentation
Speaker:and you know somebody in fact, probably while you're sitting here,
Speaker:you're thinking, 'God,
Speaker:I wish so and so could have listened to this.' If you know somebody that you
Speaker:wished had been able to hear this, help them hear it, spread the word,
Speaker:get on your database, let people know what we're doing.
Speaker:Because every week we give some educational piece like this,
Speaker:and if you've got a value out of it, share it with people you do.
Speaker:If you help other people get what they want to get in life,
Speaker:it helps you get what you want to get in life.
Speaker:It helps you build your network because they spread it to the next network.
