The first one is by Ms. Nuno.

She gave me five stars saying that I'm very happy I came across this podcast. It may just be what you need, the right words to get you on track. Everyone needs a little push. It continually helps me to conquer fear and to move forward. Thanks, Matt. Well, thank you, Miss Nuno. Thank you so much. Another one is from Jeff, 2625.

Changing the way I think. Five stars. I'm new to your podcast and started with episode one. Today I listen to episode nine twice. This episode hit home for me in so many ways. It is time for me to do, in all caps, my do-over and not sit on the fence anymore. Thanks, Matt, for all the hard work you put into the podcast. I can't wait to hear all the other episodes.

Well, thank you, Jeff 2625. Thank you for stopping by and leave them in your comments. So, how is your do-over going? You know, over the last few episodes, we've defined your dream. We've created some leverage by creating that burning desire to achieve your dreams. We've put a plan in place, and we're working that plan. So how's it going? You know, it's going to take some discipline to work your plan to its end.

And discipline, it takes strength, and it takes stamina. And if you expect to realize your dreams, you will have to be persistent and unyielding in your pursuit of them. I mean, specifically, it will take a special kind of strength. You know, I took martial arts when I was a kid, and I remember the sensei referencing a Bruce Lee quote. Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.

You know, the strength and the resilience of the bamboo tree is legendary, and its strength, you know, it was apparent when many trees survived the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I mean, they survived those blasts with minimal damage. And what you want to take from this is to be strong in working your plan, yet it can take some flexibility. You'll need to be flexible. You'll need to be open. I mean, it should be of no surprise that the world isn't going to deliver on a silver platter everything you need to achieve your goals. I mean, improvising and adapting and overcoming obstacles, those are the normal part of the process.

And they are to be expected when working your plan. The fact that our dreams aren't going to be just handed to us is precisely why achieving them require us to move outside our comfort zones. I mean, to be somebody we've never been before, and to stretch our thoughts and ideas to new dimensions as to what we perceive as possible. You know, regardless of your faith, I believe tests are sometimes given to us by a higher power. Mine is God.

I mean, I believe he frequently tests our belief and faith in him. An empowering place to stand from inside of your do-over is to acknowledge his tests for what they are. Just tests. And once you recognize their tests, don't fail them. Don't fail your tests. Don't choose failure when success.

is still an option. Maintain your focus on your dream. And I say it again and again and again, your dream must be big enough to move you through those tests. And understand that tests and obstacles, they're just part of the game. They're going to happen.

So just expect them, and when they arrive, deal with them. And rather than focusing on the tests and obstacles, focus on the solutions that will enable you to overcome them. I mean, I may sound like a broken record with this, but it pulls me through everything, and I mean everything.

You see, if you find yourself faced with a challenge, an obstacle, or a flat-out roadblock. I mean, it doesn't matter. Any type of adversity you may experience within your do-over, simply stop, relax, and say to yourself, stop focusing on what's happening. Place your focus on what you want to have happen. Everything changes when you do that. Everything changes when you shift your focus from your problems onto the solutions. In every test, in every obstacle, they have to be. a solution and oftentimes it's going to take some flexibility and what you've known to be true in the past to solve the problems that you encounter. You know, if not, they typically wouldn't be

problems. I mean, if you knew how to handle them, they wouldn't be a problem. So it's going to take some flexibility. It's going to require you to be open and look for solutions in places you might not have looked otherwise. And just like the Apollo 11 mission to the moon, I mean, it was off course 95% of the time. And the same is true with the plane flying from Los Angeles to Hawaii. You know, without flexibility and adjustments, the plane would never reach its destination. We would have never landed on the moon. And the trip to your destination is going to work just like that. And as a plane, it has its instrument panel to keep itself on course. You have your emotions. You have your intuition. You have the power of questions, and you have your faith to keep you on course. So trust yourself

and know that adjusting is normal and it's part of the journey. Don't get discouraged. Be flexible and stop focusing on the problems. Place your focus on what you want to have happen. place your focus on the solutions. That's what successful people do. If you want to be successful, you have to do what successful people do. If you want to be successful, stop doing what unsuccessful people do. And yes, it could be scary sometimes. I know.

It can be downright frightening to the point where you can find yourself stopped dead in your tracks. I get it. I've been there. And I've been there so many times. But you know, the more years I put under my belt, the more wisdom I seem to gather, I've come to no fear as exactly what it is. 99% of the time. You might have heard this acronym before. Fear is false evidence appearing real. And although I can't think of any fear I've experienced as being real, I mean, I'm sure there's an

exception, so I left the 0.1% open to satisfy that exception. But if there is something out there, it's just an exception. And the exception only proves the rule. And to use fear as a tool, as opposed to allowing it to stand between you and everything you want from life, as that is the only thing in your way. I mean, get clear on the fact that, there is nothing to fear but fear itself. I mean, it's a shame that that quote has become such a cliche because it's one of the great truths. So get clear on the fact that there is nothing to fear but fear itself.

The world will magically begin to open up and present itself as your playground once you come to that realization. You know, if you listen to this podcast for more than a couple of weeks, and in fact, this is the only episode you've ever listened to, you know I'm a big believer in the notion that we get what we focus on. I'm a big advocate of focusing on the solutions. I mean, I just mentioned it with regard to challenges and obstacles and adversity. I mean, you can focus on what you fear may happen, or you can focus on what you want to have happen.

And when you're focusing on what you want to have happen, it produces different actions. And those actions produce different results. And not only does action produce those results, action cures fear. Conversely, inaction, indecision, and procrastination, they fertilize fear. They magnify fear. Now, the complete mastery of fear may or may not be attainable. I mean, it's within us. It's part of our DNA.

But the closer you get to being its master, the easier life gets. And for that reason alone, mastery of fear is worth pursuing. Now, I've gotten to the point where as soon as I feel fear, I feel an opportunity for growth. That's what fear means to me. I'm about to grow. And each and every time I've acknowledged fear and pushed through that fear, I've experienced amazing emotions of triumph. I've become more connected to fear in the sense that I recognize everything I want is just beyond it. So I get excited when I get a little scared.

I get excited when I get a little nervous. Because I know there's something that I want just beyond. Your rewards lie just on the other side of it. Fear now inspires me into action. I use fear as a tool and you can do the same. So try this as a discipline. Whenever you're faced with something that scares you, just acknowledge it and then do it.

It's that simple. That's the rule. I'm scared, now act. Don't question it. Just do it. Put this discipline into action. And remember, hesitation only enlarges, magnifies, and intensifies the fear. So don't think about it.

Take action swiftly. Be decisive. Face your fears with action and you control your fears. Face your fears with action and your fears will disappear. You know, and undoubtedly, you'll ask yourself after the fact, what was I scared of? I mean, let me say that again. You're going to ask yourself after the fact. Believe this.

You're going to ask yourself after, what was I scared of? And when you hit that point, from that point forward, you control that fear, and it'll never stop you again. Now, some fears, they might have to be faced repeatedly before they entirely disappear, but they will disappear. I mean, we gain strength, courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to stare fear in the face. You must do that what you think you cannot.

And to illustrate how silly we can be when it comes to our fears, and you'll agree with me that very rarely, if ever, are we faced with a fear inside the pursuit of our dreams that death is a possibility. Maybe your dreams are to become the world's greatest stuntman or live in the jungle among the lions and tigers and bears. Remember, it's your do-over, you can do whatever you want. But outside of a dream along those lines, death will probably never be your worst-case scenario when facing your fears.

Yet, every day, every day we engage the number five killer in the United States without giving it a second thought. You know what that killer is? If you guessed an automobile, you're correct. I mean, why do we get in a car on a daily basis with death lurking at every intersection, and yet we won't speak in public? We won't approach the opposite sex. We won't make cold calls. We won't ask our boss for a raise.

We won't start that business we've been dreaming about our entire lives. We won't do those small little things that stand in the way from where you might be right now and where you want to go. I mean, the answer is very easy. You see, when we drive an automobile, we have learned to manage our risk. we've learned to manage our fear. We've educated ourselves. We've faced our fear and we've practiced, and we've practiced over and over again.

We've faced that fear multiple times. I mean, there was a time where we were terrified to get behind the wheel. Do you remember that? You know, you're probably 16 years old, and you were looking over at the driver's ed teacher in the passenger seat. You're terrified.

But now we know if we keep both hands on the steering wheel, if we keep our eyes on the road, if we obey the speed limit, if we stop at the red light and we go with the green. If we change the oil and rotate the tires and maintain the brakes, I mean, there's really nothing to fear. Everything you want out of life is just like that. It's going to take some education,

meaning gaining some information you don't currently have. Your fear is really just another word for unfamiliar. To conquer that fear, you need to familiarize yourself with it. That's the first step. And it's going to take a little bit of courage to initially face that fear. and it's going to likely take some practice. And depending on what you're doing over, it might take a lot of practice to develop enough confidence

and confidence to achieve your dream. But then again, as I've found to be the case, more times than I had ever thought, it'll only take your facing your fear once to cause it to completely disappear. I mean, it's truly a miracle. And you look back and you wonder, what was I scared of?

Now imagine if you could march right down the road to success, the road to your dreams, the path we created for your do-over with as much ease and efficiency as you drive a car. To gain ultimate time and money freedom, would it be worth managing that risk and conquering that fear? And I'm speaking of the fear that's currently stopping you right now, and it's going to be different for each and every one of you.

But you all know what I'm talking about. You all know which fear it is that you don't want to face. And I'm not just speaking of that one fear. I'm speaking of every fear you'll face until you get there. You know, this mindset has enabled me to conquer the fear of public speaking, of raising private money for my real estate investments, of cold calling people, and being direct in my communication with friends and family.

And with just a few fears eliminated for my life, I mean, I hardly recognize myself from as little as a year ago. I mean, two to three years ago, forget about it. I have no idea who that person even was three years ago. So what I'm going to request is that you recognize fear as your friend from this day forward, and you will transform your life and miracles will truly be yours. So if fear is your friend,

then failure is your mind. mom and dad. I mean, failure spawns success. It gives birth to success. How? Well, if you haven't failed, you haven't tried. I mean, there is no success without failure. It just comes with the territory. Now, before I go further, let me establish that here at the Your Do Over podcast, there is really no such thing as failure. There's only feedback. And there's no such thing as a person who is a failure, only a quitter. Failure is an opportunity to practice your technique and perfect your performance. Failure is nothing more than a condition of a less than desirable result or falling short.

You know, if you expect to get it right the very first time, you're completely delusional. I mean, nobody wants to fail. But until you understand and accept that failure is simply a part of the process, the fear of failure will immobilize you. It will literally stop you dead in your track. So just accept it.

It's going to happen. You know, one idea that forever transformed my entire relationship to failure came from former IBM president, Thomas Watson. And he said, if you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate. You know, Watson's quote revealed one of my hidden barriers. And I noticed in many areas of my life where I hadn't even been trying because I believed I couldn't do it.

I believed I would fail. And because I wasn't trying, I was failing. And since receiving this new clarity around failure, I'll try anything that's in congruence with my values and the pursuit of my goals. If I fail, so what? I analyze what could have made a difference and then I just try again. I mean, imagine your relationship to failure as so what, try again. what would your life look like then? I mean, every time you failed to reach what you were striving for and you just said,

so what, let's do it again? Do over, right? I mean, what would you choose to do if you were completely detached from the outcome? Meaning the fear of failure just did not exist. That had no place in your life. If you find yourself fearing failure, it is because you are attached to the payoff. At the same time, you want to know that the payoff is always worth the risk. It is more honorable to try and fail than to have never tried at all.

all. The payoff is worth it. Now the formula for success is to fail. Fail fast and fail often. Perhaps this formula will make more sense when you understand the four levels of learning. You see, regardless of what you have learned, are currently learning, or will learn in the future, you can't avoid the four levels of learning. And once you understand them, life can really become quite simple, quite easy. Level one, it's referred to as unconscious incompetence. This is the level where you don't know what you don't know. To illustrate, I'll use my experience of when I learned how to drive a stick shift.

I mean, there was a time in my life when I didn't even know what a stick shift was. I was in the first level of learning. And then at some point, by observing my parents' drive, I eventually realized what a stick shift was. I don't remember the exact date, but I remember, ah, that's a stick shift. and although I then knew what it was, I still didn't know how to drive using a stick shift. This is the second level of learning, conscious incompetence. I know I don't know something.

We move from what you don't know that you don't know to what you know that you don't know. You see, most people spend the majority of their lives in just about everything they do somewhere in between the second and third level. Not until they attempt to try, will anyone ever get to the third level? That third level is conscious competence.

That's when you know you know how to do something. For example, you know how to download a podcast. You know how to structure it so that you can listen to the podcast. You know you know that. That's the third level, conscious competence. You know, I remember a few months after my 16th birthday, my mother bought me a new red sports car. Yes, I was that guy.

But it was a bittersweet day. I couldn't wait to get in, pick up some friends, and just cruise. But the bitter part of the equation was it was a stick shift, and I was consciously incompetent at driving one. I was at level two. And the only way I was going to learn was to get in the car and do it. Now, did I pull out of the driveway the first time in a nice, smooth roll? Hardly.

If you have ever learned to drive a car with a manual transmission and a clutch, you know what your first time looks like. But did you give up the first time the car stalled? Could that constitute as failure? Did you try again? Did you give up after the second time the car stalled? The third time, the fourth? Likely you didn't.

Are there areas of your life where you gave up after it didn't work? Or in other words, after you stalled. You know, I was so bad at driving that stick shift, I was literally unsafe on the road. I didn't let that stop me, though. I would get up at 3 a.m. when there were no cars on the road to go practice. And I did that repeatedly. I did it for days. Yes, I was a slow learner.

But one thing that you'll want to get is that the only way to get from the second level of learning to the third level of learning is by practicing. And after a week or so, I was getting the hang of it. But I still had to think about every movement of driving a stick shift. I had reached the third level of conscious competence. I could drive it, but I still had to think about it. I was consciously competent. Now, if practice is what's going to get you from the second level to the third, what's going to get you from the third level to the fourth? I mean, perhaps you've heard it referenced as the mother of learning.

The answer is repetition. Massive repetition. The fourth level of learning, unconscious competence. That's when the skill becomes second nature. You no longer have to think about it. You just do it. After a month of driving that stick shift, there was no thought at all given to the timing between my left foot on the clutch and my right foot on the gas.

I mean, it just happened. It was like breathing. What do you do in your life right now that's second nature? What are you really good at? Are you really good at playing the guitar? Snowboarding, knitting, negotiating, cooking. How about tying your shoes? I mean, you can be 15 minutes late for an appointment,

then to over, tie your shoes without even blinking and run out the door. Without even thinking about it. You have reached the fourth level of learning, unconscious competence of tying your shoes. It doesn't matter what you're good at. You went through the four levels of learning. And whatever you want to take on next in your do-over, the four levels they're waiting for you.

There's only one way to get to the fourth level, and that's through lots of failure, lots of practice, and lots of repetition. There are no shortcuts to any place worth going or anything worth doing. You know, about two years ago, I noticed a book on my business partner's bookshelf. You can't teach a kid to ride a bike at a seminar. That was the title of the book. And I just didn't feel I needed to read the book. And I didn't.

And the title pretty much said it all. You know, nobody is going to do it for you. Nobody can just give you the information and then presto you can ride a bike or presto you can drive a stick shift. No, you'll have to eventually get on that bike and do it yourself. You're going to crash into some walls. You're going to skin some knees. You're going to eat some dirt. You will have to fall repeatedly before you can successfully ride that bike.

Here's the good news. Moving from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm is much more easily done quickly than it is slowly. Here's what I mean. Imagine you know before you get on that bike for the very first time. time that you will have to fall 24 times before you reach that fourth level of learning. I mean, the number 24, it's arbitrary, but let's just use it for this example. It's going to be different for everybody, but for this example, your number will be 24. Now, let's look at these three different scenarios. In this first scenario, you plan on practicing riding your bike twice

per month. If you practice riding your bike twice per month and you know you have to fall 24 times before you learn how to do it, at the end of the year, you will have fallen 24 times. It'll take you a whole year to go through that process. In scenario two, you plan on practicing riding your bike four times per month, and at the end of six months, you would have fallen 24 times, and then you proceed to ride your bike for the rest of the year. So you learned in six months. In scenario three, you plan to practice and fall 24 times today. I mean, obviously, if you fell your 24 times in one day, you will have learned to ride a bike quicker than the other two scenarios. Now, in each scenario, you will have fallen 24 times,

but under each scenario, would you be equally good at riding that bike at the end of the year? At the end of the year, under which scenario would you be the best bike rider you could be? I mean, under the first scenario, you fell twice per month. And although at the end of the year, you fell 24 times and you can ride the bike, you're undoubtedly going to still be probably a little wobbly on that bike. The reason being is when you let too much time pass in between practice sessions, you essentially start over each time because you forget. You can't let a lot of time pass in between those 24 falls

because you forget. You essentially start over each time. The 24 repetitions spread out so far apart does not produce the same result as the 24 repetitions performed in one day. I mean, the scenario in which you fell 24 times in one day produces a far more competent bike rider at the end of the year because you've been competent for 364 days. In the first scenario, you've just reached copy.

competency, maybe, on the 365th day. I mean, in a nutshell, it is easier to learn anything fast than it is slow. I mean, success comes easier fast than it does slow. I mean, isn't that great news? So don't be afraid to fail. Don't let that get in your way. Recognize failure from this day forward as a series of rungs up the ladder, as a success that the details of which have yet to be revealed,

as a learning experience, as an opportunity for growth, as a precondition for success. That's what failure is to you now. Recognize that most successful people achieve their greatest successes only one step beyond what appeared to be their greatest failure. Your biggest strides will follow your long steps back. The person who doesn't experience failure will not experience success. You know, most people, if asked to name nature's most destructive force, will reply with something like earthquakes or tornadoes or tidal waves or hurricanes. But the correct answer actually is gravity. Gravity is responsible for more destruction than anything else Mother Nature has whipped up.

I mean, the reason is that gravity is persistent. It never gives up. It's not how many times you get knocked down that matters. It's how many times you get up. If you fail to get up, gravity will have gotten the best of you too. And regardless of how disastrous your own failures may seem, recognize it's only a snapshot in time. It's never as bad as it seems, never. And there's always tomorrow.

Nothing is forever. Your struggles and setbacks, they're going to pass. And the best is always yet to come. I mean, it's actually vain and nonsensical to take life and ourselves too seriously. I mean, after all, none of us are getting out alive. I mean, one day we're going to look back and we're going to laugh about our failures. We're going to laugh about what's going on in your life right now. You know, and if that's the case, why not laugh now?

Life is short. Don't allow failure to compromise the beauty of the journey. Enjoy it. Laugh. You know, those who laugh last. The greatest words ever uttered on the subject of failure, they come from Michael Jordan. I mean, I'm inspired every time I read or hear them. Even if you've heard them before, they bear repeating.

It cannot be said or documented enough. And I'll document it one more time. I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions, I have been entrusted to take the game-winning shot and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed. Integrity check.

Be true to yourself. When something appears to just not be working, and before deciding to quit and categorize it as a failure, honestly ask yourself, is it not working or am I not working? You know, occasionally your guard may drop and you may find yourself BS and your friends and your family and your employer and your customers. And we're human. We all can do it thinking there's no harm. And maybe sometimes there isn't any harm. However, the harm is certain when you start BSing yourself. So just before you decide to quit, ask yourself, is it not working or am I not working?

I mean, stubborn persistence may be the missing ingredient that bridges the gap between failure and success for you. As it has been documented again countless times, and here's one more time, scientist Thomas Edison, inventor of the light bulb, the phonograph, and 1,091 other inventions, persisted through many failures and is an American icon because he simply never gave up. In case of emergency, break glass. When all else fails, just prior to giving up, whatever it may be, imagine it being successfully accomplished by someone you really dislike. I mean, I recognize this thought on the subject of failure. It doesn't come from the world of love and creation. But sometimes you've got to pull out the big guns to get it done.

Don't quit. Okay, one more. Just prior to giving up, say this to yourself. I am about to give up on all of my hopes and dreams because, and insert your reason. I am about to give up on all of my hopes and dreams because I'm tired, because I'm frustrated, because nobody will help me, because I can't do it, because I don't get any breaks, because life is unfair, whatever it may be, I dare you to find a good enough reason.

Summed up, if at first you don't succeed, do-over. Yet, if at first you do succeed, don't act too surprised either. That's all I've got for you today. Don't forget, you will have until the end of April to participate in my do-over contest, log on to iTunes, search your do-over and place your iTunes comment and rating, and send me an email to Matt at the doover guide.com with I did. it in the subject line and be sure to include your iTunes name in the email so I know who you are so I can send you a copy of do-over and possibly, no probably, another prize.

Seriously, I'm giving so much a way you'll likely win the other stuff too. Don't delay though. Post your comment and rating before the month's end. Love you guys. I am Matt, the do-over guy, and I will see you next time on your do-over. Thank you for tuning in to your do-over, where the ignored, underestimated, and unknown steps to producing results. and making life work are revealed.
