Hello listeners. Motivosity is excited to share that we have launched a new podcast called Morning Motivation by Motivore. If you are looking to start your day with positivity and the most uplifting motivational audio, this is the show for you. For today's episode of Motivation Daily by Motivority Podcast, we are sharing a recent episode from the Morning Motivation Podcast. If you like it, go follow the show. New episodes are being released every week.

The link is in the description. The tenacity it takes to face your inadequacies and continue to try, try, try. That's where we've succeeded. What I'm good at and what we're good at together is not being right all the time. It's basically learning from your mistakes. Most successful people in the world

are the people that can self-soothe. So can you avoid being triggered? If you're being triggered and you look outward and you're angry at the person that triggered you, that's weakness. You are manifesting weakness. And you have to go, ooh, that means I have an insecurity around this thing. I need to address my insecurity.

And then that's going to put you in a far more powerful position to move forward. People that are successful, they can self-sood, they can stay emotionally calm in the midst of a storm. When everybody else is panicking, They're only looking at solutions. Most people can only see these are the 152 ways that this could go wrong. No matter how outrageous, there is a way to pull this off.

Stop telling me all the things that aren't going to work. Tell me the thing that is going to work. And successful people are about that. They are good decision makers. They are hyper resilient. They don't stop at failure. They don't get in their own way from an ego perspective. They're looking nakedly at their own inadequacies.

and they've got enough confidence to get people going behind them. So if you can manage your emotions, if you've got the courage to fight through that storm, if you're not easy to knock off your pedestal and you're humble enough to know that you're almost certainly making mistakes so that you know when the correct course, that's the recipe. The thing with excuses is sometimes they're very true, but it doesn't serve you. It doesn't serve your goal. So are you going to let it sit with you or you can find a way around it?

The key to me being driven is identifying what my passion is and my mission is. So if I don't have a passion and mission, then I don't have a drive. I could wake up every single freaking day and fight for that 14-year-old girl that was me that didn't believe in herself, that felt ugly, that was teased, that was made fun of from my looks. I will fight for that 14-year-old girl so that if I can, help her to believe she can become anything she wants if she sets her mind to it and works hard, then I feel like my job is done.

Every day I wake up for that 14-year-old Lisa. You can become anything you want to become, but you're going to have to pay a heavy price to get there. So the question is, what is it that you want to do? The problem is people are expecting something to be self-evident. They are told a lie that they're born with a purpose. You're not born with a purpose. You're going to decide that this passion, this thing that you've worked your ass off to get good at

that allows you to serve not only yourself but other people, that's now your purpose. Nothing is ever going to be self-evident. You're never going to come across something like, this is what I meant to do with the rest of my life. You were going to find something that gives you more energy than it takes. I only do and believe that which moves me towards my goals. And so everybody in Impact Theory University, if you ask them, which I do, frequently, what's the epitaph I want on my tombstone? It's you're having a biological experience. I really want people to understand. Like you can learn about the brain and it will

reveal things to you about yourself. That'll be unbelievable. If you're trying to get in a relationship, if you haven't read books about the difference between men and women, you're in real trouble. The world would be very confusing to you if you think that men and women are the same. So understanding the biology of this stuff, that was one of the big turning points in my life, that finally allowed me to believe in a growth mindset was I just started researching the brain. And it was like, oh, there's a saying called brain plasticity. Your brain actually changes no matter how old you are. Your brain changes.

And I was like, okay, well, if that's true, then if I put time and energy into something, my brain will change, I'll get better at it. And that will improve my skills. And then another obsession of mine is to get people to understand. Skills have utility. You don't read a book to get an A on the test. You don't read a book to check something off a list. You read a book to learn something that lets you do something in the real world that other people can't do.

And so Elon Musk has a great quote. You're paid in direct proportion to the difficulty of the problems you solve. So you're learning something so you can solve problems, hard problems, that other people can't solve. And so once you understand, oh, this is mechanical. My brain is designed a certain way. There's a certain path that I have to walk to gain skills. And then skills let me do something other people can't do. and by doing things other people can't do,

I'm able to serve myself and the group. That's fulfillment. Fulfillments the point. It is so mechanistic. It's all just deadly simple. And when I'm giving honest answers, I'm always looping around, this is how the human mind works.

And every time, every time, I say something controversial. It's always about biology. If you want to fight it, fight it. You're going to die tired, and I will propel myself forward because I'm not judging what is true. I don't deal with the world the way that I wish it were.

I deal with the world the way that it is. The thing with excuses is sometimes they're very true. But it doesn't serve you. It doesn't serve your goal. So are you going to let it sit with you or are you going to find a way around it? So let's say a lot of people's reasoning, which was ours originally when we wanted to make movies,

is we don't have enough money. So we're just going to go and do this thing until we have enough money. We don't have enough time. And the truth is if you play the no BS, what would it actually take and you say I don't have enough money, then you keep going down and go, well, how much do I need? Okay, what would it take for me to get that money? And sometimes people don't want to look at the answers. So maybe it takes you having to sell your house, move in with your

in-laws, and went one of their bedrooms for the next three years in order to save your money so that you can go and start a company. Well, some people don't want to do that. Okay, well, at least now you have your answer and you're not sitting there using the excuse. that you don't have enough money. You just looked at it and like oh to take for me to get there I need to live with my in-laws for three years I don't want to do that and now you've just decided and now you're not beating yourself up over oh my God I can't believe I'm not there yet or like with us with the quest there was no we didn't leave ourselves any room with for excuses because we just went down that list of

are we giving this over are we doing this are we actually showing up and if the answer is no then how can you expect to reach your goal so once we sit there go, what is our goal to build a studio as big as Disney? All right, before you even get started, we sit and go, what? Like, no BS. Don't try and say the things that we want it to be true. But actually, what is true, what would need to be true in order for us to build a studio as big as Disney?

And so we sat there, we said, okay, it's going to take us to put our own capital in. It's going to take us to work hard. What does work hard look like? Is it a certain amount of hours? Is it a certain amount of achievements where you put things into place and you make sure you're always incrementally working towards that? is it that maybe you have to that this is exactly what we did with Quest

it was oh we have to put the house on the line and that was like the no BS that's what it's going to take for us to go all in and build Quest nutrition and so once we sat there and said okay it's going to take us to put our house on the line it's going to take me at the time to be the supportive wife to come in and help you out

it's going to take no vacations it's going to mean you're going to need to take a third of your pay car like we literally sat down and wrote a laundry list of what it's going to take to start in Quest Nutrition And once we had that list, we just looked at each other and we're like, all right, are we willing to do it? And when the answer is yes, now you just know what you're heading towards. You know the type of path that you're about to approach.

And so there's no surprises. There's no all of a sudden him coming home and going, yeah, babe, so the business isn't doing well. And so, oh my God, I'm so sorry, but we lose our house, right? There's no surprise. We've established what we're going to do in order to go for that goal. And in that comes the sacrifices. What are you willing to sacrifice? What are the things that you're okay with putting aside for now?

And a lot of that was my self-esteem, my ego of like, I didn't know what I was doing. So every day I'm struggling. I'm trying to figure something out. And I'm keeping failing. But I knew that I had to learn in order to get to the goal that we wanted to get to. So I knew every day I had to get back up. And then the same with him with the skill sets. What skillsets do I have to learn in order to get to the goal that we want?

where we want to get to. And that comes with a lot of freaking sacrifice. I'm no longer going to value myself for being good, smart, right-worthy. I'm going to value myself entirely for figuring out what I need to get good at to achieve my goals. And then I'm just going to do that.

And I'm going to do it knowing that success cannot be guaranteed.
