THE ED MYLETT SHOW - THE POWER OF RIGHT NOW

Episode Date: February 8, 2024

There is POWER in taking action IN THE MOMENT and I’m teaching you how to HARNESS that POWER RIGHT NOW! Having a vision and a well laid out plan is great but it’s not enough… The real game-changer? The SPEED and DECISIVENESS with which you execute those plans! I've witnessed firsthand, time and time again, that the true movers and shakers possess an uncanny ability to act without hesitation. This is what I like to call the POWER OF NOW. The energy, the pure vibrational potential of an idea, is at its peak the instant it hits you. Waiting around, second-guessing, or drowning in the need for more information kills more great ideas than almost anything else. It stifles the momentum before it even has a chance to build. Now, I'm not saying there's never a time for patience. But let's be real — those moments are few and far between. The vast majority of victories come when you strike while the iron's hot, transforming that initial spark into a roaring fire. In this episode I’m teaching you: How swift action frees up your mental capacity The undeniable link between quick victories and the surge of CONFIDENCE and MOMENTUM they bring. The pitfalls of procrastination and overthinking, and how they barricade the path to success. Effective tactics to harness the POWER OF NOW, turning this mindset into your default mode. The time for action is not tomorrow, not after you've mulled it over — it's RIGHT NOW! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hey, it's Ed Milet, and I wanted to take the time today to talk about one of the invisible traits that I see all super achievers have. And so let me first start by saying I'm a big believer in planning and strategy. I think somebody with a great plan has a better chance of winning than somebody who doesn't have a game plan or a focus and who hasn't begin with the end in mind, you know, from Think and Grow Rich. I believe in all of that. plan or a focus and who hasn't begin with the end in mind, you know, from think and grow rich. I believe in all of that.

Having said that, one of the invisible things that I see with the top athletes I coach, entertainers, hopefully myself, business people for sure, is this. They have the ability to take immediate, massive action. And the people that I see that are behind them hesitate, they flinch, they think they need to plan a little bit more, strategize a little bit more. They procrastinate. They get around to doing something. One of the muscles I built, anybody on my team will tell you,

because I'm like, let's just do it now. Let's do it right now. There's a power to now. And I think a lot of people don't understand the vibrational frequency of now. Oftentimes a really great plan that's delayed in its execution that vibrates at a lower frequency than someone says let's do it right now let's attack it right now let's get after it right now. So I want you to write this down this morning the power of now the power of taking immediate massive action oftentimes timing matters in business rhythm

matters in business it's not always the perfect plan. It's when and almost always now is better than later. And it's a sign. It's a trait that I see in mega achievers. For example, if there's a phone call that you need to make, make it now. If there's a contact that needs to be done, make it now. If there's an email that needs to be written, do it now. Don't delay.

Don't wait. There's a moment of inspiration that happens too when an idea affects you and hits you to take action on it immediately. You ever have maybe a thought of a speech or a text you want to write or a business concept or a way you'd phrase something differently or just an overall thing you should be doing hits you in a moment and then you go, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to write this down and you write it down, the idea exactly as you felt it. And then you revisit it, you know, three days later or two days later or six hours later.

Doesn't it vibrate at a lower frequency? Isn't it less impactful even to you when you read it as opposed to when you had it in the moment? There's something about the moment that vibrates at a high frequency that is more powerful than later. And oftentimes we wait and delay and write it down and it loses its power. There was a power in the moment. Remember when I met Wayne Dyer? He told me, Ed, do you ever wake up at two, three o'clock in the morning with a powerful idea? Just something that hits you like an inspiration.

And you know, we've all had that happen. And I said, I do. And he goes, what do you normally do? I said, well, usually I go, I'm gonna try to remember and I'm going back to sleep. He goes, don't do that. That's the divine awakening you. Write it down, take action on it.

I go two, three o'clock in the morning, he goes, yes, I keep a notepad next to my bed. And I write these ideas down immediately. And if I can take action on them, I'll do it at two, three o'clock in the morning. If it's call so-and-so text so-and-so write this in goes I'll get up and do it if it's a chapter in my book I won't I will get up and write the chapter because there's a power and a vibrational frequency in the moment That's not just true with content or writing or creating. I found it's true with almost everything in life

one of my superpowers, I can candidly tell you, is my ability to take immediate massive action when an idea hits me. I don't wait for the perfect moment. Usually the perfect moment is now. The right time to tell somebody that you love, that you love them when you feel it, is right now. Is right now. The right time to make that contact?

Right now. The right time to fix that issue with your friend that you're going through right now. The right time to make that contact, right now. The right time to fix that issue with your friend that you're going through right now where it just doesn't feel right or there's some strife, right now. The challenge with your spouse, walk in. Can we fix this right now, please? Now I know there are some things that are better in life

sitting for a while and diminishing, even if it's like a disagreement. But those things are more rare than they are common. The vast majority of things are better when we take immediate, massive action. So I wanna challenge you today. That call you need to make, make it now. That email you need to send, send it now.

That chapter you need to write, that copy, that funnel, do it now. You can always adjust and course correct it later and improve upon it. But if you can get it done now, you can come back later when you were gonna do it and tweak it a little bit with some perspective. But there's nothing like the moment.

There's nothing like calling the shot in the moment. And I have to tell you something, this is a common trait, why? Because these people have more confidence. The reason you're delaying writing that email, doing the chapter, making the contact, fixing the problem, sending out the blog post is you're afraid and you think if you wait longer, you'll be less afraid. If you get a little bit more preparation, you'll

be more ready. The truth is that's almost never the case. There are some situations where that's true, but by and large, most of the time, people will tell me, hey, you know, someone's so cold, they're go, get them on the phone right now. Right, get them on the phone right now. Let's do it right now. Just right now, this, what I'm doing, I needed to make some content for the week. My team's like, are you available at 12, 30?

But when I go, hey, I'm available right now. And it was my team who said we got away to half hour. Well, I'm like, let's go, let's go, let's go. I love knocking things off the list because that creates momentum. Why? I have confidence. And the more you do this, ironically, you will develop confidence in yourself

to be able to attack things in the moment. To, sometimes I say annihilate the problem, fix something in the moment. What you think is you need more information. Successful people are good planners, but let me tell you what they have. They have a lower threshold of what they think to know or how prepared they think they need to be in order to take action.

And people that don't win quite at a high level, as high as they could, have a higher threshold requirement in their mind, and it's a fallacy of how much preparation and what they need. Now, by the way, you all watch my podcast. I'm a freak about preparation for my podcast. I prepare and I prepare and I prepare. Having said that, at some point, I gotta shoot the podcast. At some point, I gotta, I'll give you an example.

I was booking guests yesterday. I'm like, you know what I should do? I should contact Deion Sanders and see if he wants to be on the show. You know what I should probably do? I should probably reach out to Roger Goodell from the NFL and see if he wants to be on the show. You know what I should probably do? I should probably reach out to Roger Goodell from the NFL and see if he wants to be on the show. And then I went, well, what's going to be different tomorrow or in three hours?

How about I just do it right now? And so I did. And not only did I do it in that moment, but now once that's gone, I can do more things in this moment that I was going to be waiting around to do the other thing. Does that make sense? So this is an efficiency. This is a rhythm. What I've found is almost more than anything,

there's a rhythm to success. There's a rhythm. And when someone gets in that mode of, they've got momentum, they got their mojo going, you've all had it. There's a rhythm and a cadence that gets them going. And if you wait and delay on things, it's impossible to get into that rhythm.

But now, now, now, now, now, all of a sudden, you're in that rhythm of success where you're in flow because you're constantly moving. It's almost like a river that should constantly be flowing and running instead of stagnant water. Stagnant water. Stagnant water starts to get murky, it starts to smell, it can actually form fungus and

mold. And a lot of people's lives in some strange way are kind of like still water, it's not healthy, gathers all this stuff. But a stream that's running all the time is beautiful. And that stream just by its pure force of running all the time is beautiful. And that stream just by its pure force of running all the time in the now creates beautiful things around it and actually opens up the flow of other things in their life

because it's constantly flowing in the now. There's a power to now. There's a power to this moment that once it's gone is gone forever. So what I'm saying to you today is take advantage of the present moment, not just being focused in the present, but kting in the present. It's one thing to be, I'm present with you. It's another thing to take an action in the moment, the most powerful time to do almost anything in your life right now. So I want to challenge you

to do that today. It's a huge success principle of mega achievers and quite frankly happy people as well. There's a power to take an immediate massive action and doing it right now. It's actually one of the secret ingredients to success and it's the one thing I believe that will close the gap between you and your dreams. Keep listening and I'm gonna break it down for you.

I wanna take the mystery out of it for you. First thing is, I'm always a little bit concerned, it's trepidatious for me to talk about winning and losing because I know how small the difference between winning and losing is. It's almost too scary to talk about. It's really true. I've watched people get very close to winning and it's that one little thing they miss, that invisible thing that separates the winners from the losers. It truly is a game of inches and millimeters when it comes to winning in business, winning

in sports, winning in life, winning in our body, winning in our emotions. It's the small things I found. And I think most people want to believe that there's all of these secrets to winning because as long as it's secretive and they don't do it, then they've got an excuse as to why they haven't won. But what if the truth is there really aren't any secrets. There just really aren't. That we all sort of really know what we need to do to win. But what it comes down to that little thing that's separator that's too scary to talk about is our willingness to do those things and the consistency with which we do them.

Here's what I found. The people that are average and ordinary and most endeavors in life do the things they need to do occasionally. And the people that win and dominate do them every day. They just do it more consistently. They do the things that the average do once in a while, they do all the time.

And that's the separator. It a while, they do all the time. And that's the separator. It's not, you can't do something when you feel like it. You can't do things on the days that you feel great. The separator isn't who's more motivated. Right? Motivation's important, inspiration's important, but the truth is, it's what do you do on the days that you are not motivated, that you are not inspired, do you have the habits

and rituals and disciplines, the guts, the grit frankly, to step up and do the things that you know you need to do all the time, not some of the time. And when you stack up those all the times, those are the inches that you fight for that separate the greats from the average, the ones that become the best ever, the goats in their industry, the best moms, the best dads, the multi-millionaire entrepreneur, compared to the ones that just do okay. It's interesting, you know,

there's a rhythm and a pace to success that I think most people aren't familiar with. I can promise you right now that if you spend a day with some of the top entrepreneurs in the world, there's a rhythm and a pace that you probably aren't used to. It's faster, it's quicker, they talk faster,

they walk faster, they think faster, they make decisions faster. And it's just a hair, like if you watch an average ordinary entrepreneur, they look like they're working hard, they look like they do things most days, but it's a little slower. The cadence, the rhythm isn't quite what it is for those that dominate. I could tell you there's a rhythm to success.

And once you understand that rhythm, which I'm trying to explain to you, it's 15% faster. It's 20% faster. It's not a hundred times. They don't do a million things better. They do a few things better and they do those things consistently and they do them faster and more repetitiously. You know really the best ability in life is availability. The best ability is availability. It's showing up and doing things consistently on a regular basis that most people just can't have the discipline to do. They get what I call leadership fatigue or they get routine fatigue.

They just get tired of saying the same things over and over again, of doing the same things over and over again. And that's what discipline is. Discipline is the ability to do things when you don't feel like it. And when you're tired of doing it, when you're fatigued, when you're bored with doing it, most winning is not beautiful. It's a grind. And remember this, when you're making history, it very rarely feels like it. It rarely feels like it. What it feels like is work. What it feels like is lonely. What it feels like is you're the only one doing it. And that's because you probably are. But what you need to know is that when you're laying those bricks every day, and the person that you're competing

against is laying them every third day, eventually, even if they're better at laying the bricks, even if they have some magic brick, which there's no such thing, eventually it's the person who can do it over and over and over again that separates themselves. And the truth is, why don't people do things consistently? Because it's not sexy. It's not exciting. Right? You think about the best if you had a great mom, right? What does she do? She just shows up quietly every day and does the things that make a difference that aren't beautiful, but they

matter. If you have one like a mom like I had, it was she was there every morning. She made my lunch every day on the days when she was sick and the days when she didn't feel like it She picked me up every day from school I never needed to wonder whether mom was gonna show up to pick me up from school. You don't know what I mean, right? Can you imagine if you were raised not knowing whether or not your parent was gonna get you from school not knowing whether you're gonna Have lunch every day and I know a lot of you had to grow up that way But the truth is like my mom just did the quiet things that great people do Every single day she did her homework with me every single day

And I did well in school because of that whereas some parents did it only when grades were bad Only when they had to only when there was a problem only when when they felt like it, only when their schedule permitted it. So my mom was a great mom and some moms are average moms, right? That's what separates you, is doing those small things every single day. You know, it's like getting up earlier. In my first book, I talk about, you know, successful people get up earlier. They just simply get up earlier. But how do you get up early? You say, Ed, I get up at seven o'clock. I'd really like to get up at five thirty. Well, you don't all of a sudden start getting up at five thirty. If you got up an hour and a half earlier, this is when most people try to change everything all at once. Right? Let me tell you what's going to happen. By

about noon, you're going to be tired and you're not going to be your best. The way you get up earlier every day is the way you change everything in life, incrementally. So right now if you get up at 7 and you want to eventually get up at 5.30, do you know what you do? You get up 15 minutes earlier. You won't miss those 15 minutes of sleep. Now you're up at 6.45. And you do that for a month. For a month you get up 15 minutes earlier. You won't even feel the change. It doesn't even seem like a big deal. It's a drop in the bucket, right? It's 15 more minutes. the change. It doesn't even seem like a big deal. It's a drop in the bucket, right? It's 15 more minutes. But then the next month, you get up 15 minutes earlier. Now you're up at 6.30. You're up at 6.30. And you do that for a month. You won't miss those 15 minutes from 6.45. It doesn't even feel like you've changed anything. But consistently, now you're up 15 minutes earlier. And then the

next month, you get up at 6.15. And all of a sudden, you went from 7 to 6.45 to 6.30 you get up at 6.15 and all of a sudden you went from 7 to 6.45 to 6.30 now it's 6.15 and before you know what a month after that it's 6 a.m. you can reverse engineer it all the way back several months later you're waking up at 5.30 but you do it incrementally and it doesn't seem like a big change but it's huge because it's consistent same thing in business if you want to start doing it, but it's huge because it's consistent. Same thing in business. If you wanna start doing it, it's not making 100 times more contacts every day.

It's increasing your productivity by 15 to 20% and doing it every single day. It's not massive changes. Most of you, if you're an engine, don't need a major engine overhaul. You need a small fine tuning type adjustment. The old days are carburetor type adjustment. That's the difference. It's these small things. It's doing it consistently. And

it's this belief system, listen to me, that you're going to become relentless and obsessed with what you're doing. You know what the great ones do? They do the needle moving things. The things that move the needle. They don't just do the routine every day. They do the needle moving things. The things that move the needle. They don't just do the routine every day. They do something in their life as a parent, as an entrepreneur, as a leader that moves the needle. Stuff that can make quantum leaps. The hard stuff. The difficult stuff. I teach in my scheduling that I don't do first things first every day. I do feared things first. Feared things first.

Get the thing you're most afraid of out of the way. You know how you do something consistently? You build the habit of doing the feared things first in your day. If early in your day, if you've got a call you don't want to make, do that call first. If you've got a meeting you don't want, schedule it first. I try to schedule all my difficult meetings on Mondays. Early in the day too. Cause I want to create momentum. If I can do that one I

don't want to do. If I can make that call I don't want to make. The rest of my day is like downhill. It's like momentum going down the hill as opposed to if you've got that hard meeting of that one call or that contact you need to make and you just haven't made it all day and you make the other ones you know you're climbing up Hill all day till you got to do that one But if you just knock the feared things first off then it's like cruising downhill all day It's much easier when you create momentum. These are the things. It's the pace. It's the rhythm. It's the consistency It's the availability. It's the game of inches that separate people

It's doing the things every day that the average do some days It's doing it on the days you don't feel like it compared to those who just do it when they're pumped up and excited And they've heard the right podcast or they got the right Instagram message today These are the separators and it when it comes down to truthfully is this belief system and Here's what I've always said and I I mean this, I think you gotta evaluate this, truly. If you believe you're far away from something, you will pace yourself that way. I've always heard people say, well, business is a marathon.

Life's a marathon. Life is really long. Life can be short if it's miserable. I can tell you that. Life can be short if it's not going very well. And although it's a marathon, the great one's sprint the whole race. That's not that they don't rest. You know what I mean. What I'm saying is there's a pace. If you think something's far away, you act like it. See, most people don't lack vision. They have a vision. If you ask them, hey, do you want to be rich or poor, the average person would probably say rich. Do you want to make a big difference in the world or make none? I'd like to make a difference. Do you want to

contribute or not contribute? I want to contribute. Do you want to laugh or cry more? I want to laugh more. I want to be happy or sad. I want to be happy. You want to go see things and create memories in your life or basically do the same thing over and over again. Most people say I want to be happy. You want to go see things and create memories in your life or basically do the same thing over and over again. Most people say, I want memories in my life. So it's not that you don't have a vision. It's that you have a depth perception problem. You have a pacing problem.

See you think your dreams, those feelings, those memories, that change, that body, that relationship, that amount of money is really far away. And because you believe it's that far away, you've created patterns, belief systems, thought processes in your life that perpetually keep it that far away. You are jogging in the marathon of life where the winners are running 15 to 20% faster than you.

They're up 15 minutes before you. They're making 15 to 20% faster than you they're up 15 minutes before you They're making 15 to 20% more contacts. They're doing every day what you do Some days because they believe that they're one decision one meeting one new contact one new relationship one new thought Maybe one podcast away From completely changing their life. I'm not suggesting to you that it's gonna be easy and that it's gonna happen like that. What I am suggesting to you is that if you think it's really far away and you pace yourself and you do things occasionally, it'll always stay that far away. It'll

always be there. It'll always be a mystery. And here's the truth. You and I both know it. There's no mystery to what makes a great mom or a great dad. You know exactly what it is. There's no mystery to what makes a great athlete. You know exactly what that looks like. There's no mystery to what makes a great entrepreneur. There's no mystery that would make you happier. There's no mystery.

The mystery is you. The mystery is, are you willing to do the things every day to be relentless, to be obsessed, to get out of balance? This notion of balance is a fallacy. If you're going to do anything great in your life, some things are going to be popping at a given time when others aren't. But what if this entire notion that your life is a finite kind of pie, that if you take a big slice out of the business pie, your family's gonna suffer? If you really focus on your family,

then you're gonna suffer in your fitness. What if the truth is that you're an expanding being that vibrates at a very high frequency, and that when you magnify one area of your life, if you do it correctly, it'll magnify and expand the others, not take from it. All right, so if you're like me, you guys, one of your goals this year

further away than it really is. And two is that if I'm killing it in one area of my life, another area has to suffer. What if that's one of the great lies of life? What if one of the great lies of life is that your dreams are for other people? That it's for people not like you, that they're doing extraordinary things

that you're incapable of doing, as opposed to the truth is, they're just doing things every day that you're incapable of doing as opposed to the truth is they're just doing things every day that you only do occasionally. They have availability all the time. What if the truth is that the great lie is that it's far away and the truth is that it's one decision, one new thought, one meeting, one connection away? What if that's the great lie of life? What if the great lie of life is that this is for other people and not you? Because I can tell you that that's a lie. The truth is, is that it's very close.

The truth is, is that it's these small decisions that alter our lives. I can tell you straight up, you're a lot closer than you think you are. And what if the third great lie is that, oh, if I'm really expanding one area in my life, another area has to suffer, that I'll become out of balance. I don't even know what balance means, but what I've found in my life, and here's the truth, that's a lie. It's a flawed belief system that's been mined virus throughout our culture and our society for years where we have these concepts of balance. Let me tell you what I found. That when I am killing it in the gym and I'm a business athlete and I'm strong and I'm spending time in there training my body,

that I'm a better businessman. That's what I found. That my gym life, my fitness life, expands my business life. You know what I've also found? That when I'm killing it at work and I'm giving it everything I've got, that when I come home I'm a better dad.

I'm a it everything I've got. Then when I come home, I'm a better dad. I'm a better friend. I've got more insights, more energy to give to other people. When I'm suffering at work, I usually suffer at home. When I'm suffering in the gym, I'm suffering at work. So when one area expands, it magnifies the other areas of life. The reason that we believe it takes from one another and then we feed that belief system

is we've been programmed under our minds to believe it. I'm not saying that you not need to be careful, that you don't need to be careful about your allocation of time and making sure everybody gets something, but I can tell you straight up, the fitter I've gotten and the harder I've worked out in the gym and the more time I've put in there, the better businessman that I've been. The better businessman I've been when I'm making a difference in my work and I'm growing and expanding. The more I bring to my family and friends, the more value I have, the more insights I have,

the more love I have, the bigger and better version of me I have to share with my family. You remember this, if you're doing a great job as a mother or a father, you're gonna bring that love and that comfort and that security and that faith into your work life and it's going to expand your work life, not take from it. And when you're crushing it at work, you're going to be a better mom and a better dad and a better friend because you're a better you and you're more proud of you and you respect

you more. And because when you come from that place, you've got more to give other people. And when you're nailing it in your fitness, and you're crushing it in your fitter and stronger, those aren't hours you're taking from other places. Those are investments you're making in your strength and your vitality and your mental well-being so that you are better at work and that you are better in your family. One of those areas expands the others as long as you believe it does. Those are the three lies of life. And today I cleared it up for you. I told you the truth.

And so although there are no secrets to winning, there are lies, there are flawed belief systems that take from winning. And what I have found is that if you do the things that I've described today, you put yourself in a position to win where the probability of you winning is increased. There's no guarantees in life. There's no promises.

What we're trying to do is increase the probability and the possibility of our winning. What starts to happen is you become an impossibility thinker into a possibility achiever. All your life, you've had this secret notion about you. Deep in your heart, you were known, you were born to do something great with your life. When you were a little boy or a little girl, you just knew it. Maybe even had a family member

who made you feel that way. They saw the special in you, didn't they? I'm here to just remind you today They were right You were right You were born to do something great with your life And I mean yes you sister yes you my brother and maybe no one's told you in a while Maybe no one's reminded you in a while

But I want you to know God made you to do something great He made you in his image and likeness with a big plan. And you're gonna make a difference in people's lives and what seem to be small ways that end up being huge ways down the line in their life. And some of the things when you're doing it, it's gonna feel really big when you're doing it. But remember what I said earlier,

when you're making history in your life, most of the time it doesn't feel like it. Because you're in the midst of the work, you're in the midst of the fog, you're on that lonely road to success that I've described in other podcasts if you've not heard those shows, listen to them. It seems lonely, it seems dark, it doesn't seem like you're getting there. But meanwhile you're making deposits in the bank account of success every single day.

The truth is, the people that win, that become the goats, that are the great ones, they've just made more deposits in the success account than those that haven't. And they make those deposits because they do needle-moving things, they get up a little bit earlier, they do it more consistently, they believe they're closer than they are, they know that when they're crushing into one area they're expanding and others, they know it's a game of inches, they know it's almost too scary to talk about, but the thing they really know is that they were born to do it. That they were born to do something great with their life.

So I'm here to remind you, it's closer than you think. You're closer than you think. There are no secrets, but there are secrets. There are lies, there are flawed belief systems, and hopefully today we've rid you of a few of them. I really believe in you And I don't believe in you because I've met you because millions of you I haven't met I believe in you because I believe in God I Believe it doesn't make any mistakes and even if you don't believe in God, that's okay I got enough belief for both of us

And I know that you were born to do something awesome, that you're not here by mistake. I know there's a purpose to you in your life. And I know the more that you do these things I've described, that purpose will be revealed to you even if it's not clear to you now. Over time it'll be revealed. Over time those deposits you're making, millions of other people in your life, and maybe just a few of them, will be the benefactors of making the withdrawals

because you did all of the work. The people that you love will thank you someday for doing all of the work you've done. Just right now, they can't see it. Right now, maybe they don't even believe it for you. But I believe it, and I know you're gonna do something great. Hope today helped you. Hope every week when we come back on these solo episodes

that you go, I picked up another thing. I'm more inspired, I learned something. This is something I'm gonna shift. I know for me it was valuable today. I feel like I was talking to me. I feel like I was talking to me. We're all in this together. We're all brothers and sisters.

None of us are better than anybody else. You know, the world is gonna try to convince you that we're all separated, that we are all at each other's throats right now. We're all in this together. And although we may have different opinions and belief systems about different things, we're brothers and sisters nonetheless.

And we were put here and born to make each other's lives better. And that includes you. You are uniquely qualified to change other people's lives. You're the only person on earth right now with your experiences, your personality, your background, your heart, your mind, all combined into one human being. Man, that's pretty special. Man, you're special. By the way, if you want to get more content like this, I help my friend, Brenner Bruth-Shard in growthday.com forward slash Ed Milet.
