Welcome to the MWF Motivation Podcast, one of the top-rated motivational podcasts in
the world. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I come out with a short, to-the-point, no-BS
podcast designed to transform you from who you are today into who you want to be. There's
no fluff here, just life-changing content. My name is Rob Dial, and the podcast starts now.
Welcome to today's episode.
If you have not yet done so, hit the subscribe button so that you never miss another episode.
you never miss another episode. And if you missed the announcement last episode, I announced a group that I made a free five day challenge group that's going to be launching. The challenge
itself is going to be launched in five days. It's going to be launching the first week of March.
But up until then, I am prepping everybody. I am putting up videos. We are adding people to the
group and I would love for you to be there. It is going to be a place for us as a community to speak to each other, to get to know
each other, for you to talk to me, for me to talk to you, for you guys to talk to each other. And
in this group, there's already almost, I think it's almost 600 people in this group. And I haven't
even announced it yet to my Facebook or anything like that, which means that once it's announced
to the Facebook, it's going to be a few thousand people that are going to be joining in very quickly. So
I want you to be there. I want you, if 2018 hasn't yet been the year that you want it to be,
I want you to be there. So go to coachwithrob.com. You don't need to put www or any of those things.
Just pick up your phone right this second. I'll wait. Okay. And you have your phone in your hand,
putting coachwithrob.com.
And that will be the place where you enter in your information and you will immediately go into the Facebook group.
This is a secret Facebook group, which means you can't even search for it and find it.
You actually have to privately be added into this group.
So I want you to be there.
I want to affect your life.
I want to help you guys out because I want to make sure this is the best year of your life. And I want to have the community for you guys as well.
So if you want to join the free five-day challenge group, go to coachwithrob.com.
And just to kind of give you an idea, this episode that I'm diving into is actually a
shorter version of the video lesson that I just put up earlier today. So we're going to have much
longer video lessons. We're going to have Facebook lives So we're going to have much longer video lessons. We're
going to have Facebook lives. We have a lot of different things in this private group.
Would love for you to be there. Coachwithrob.com. And today, let's go ahead and dive in.
Today, we're going to be talking about building yourself. Building yourself. The person that you
are right now does not matter in any sort of way. It does not matter. Your past does not matter.
does not matter. In any sort of way, it does not matter. Your past does not matter.
And the person that you are right now does not matter either. And what you need to do for this process of what we're about to go through is to just completely strip away your ego. Just
everything that you've ever known, everything you've ever done, everything, good, bad,
it needs to be stripped away. We're going to start a brand new, brand new foundation.
So who you are doesn't matter.
Your past doesn't matter.
The things that you've accomplished, the bad things that you've done,
none of that stuff matters at this point.
Today is a new day.
Today is a completely blank canvas.
And you have to build yourself.
You have to learn to build yourself.
And I love one-on-one coaching with my clients.
And I love my group coaching as well
because I can see what happens
when someone makes a real decision in their life
to make changes and to kill, quote-unquote,
kill the old person that they used to be
and start to make a new person today.
You can start right now, start today
to build the new version of you.
That's the interesting thing to think about though.
Most people don't think about their day-to-day processes or everything that they do as building
themselves as if they're laying one brick to make a giant house or a giant wall.
They don't see each day as a brick that's a part of the process.
A lot of people just kind of think that what they are now is what they're stuck with.
The past that they had ended up making them what they are today. And they're just kind of stuck at
that. But it's not like that. You have to realize that you can either build yourself, you make the
decision right now to build yourself, or you just let life happen to you. I personally made a
decision a long time ago, didn't even realize that I was really doing
it, but I made a decision to build myself. I built myself to where I am now. I was a kid
who had problems. And then one day it clicked when my mentor told me that I needed to act like the
CEO of my life. And then from then on, I made the decision that I was going to build myself.
And the Rob Dial that's talking to you right now is not the same the decision that I was going to build myself. And the Rob Dial that's talking to
you right now is not the same Rob Dial that I was 10 years ago, five years ago, even five months ago
since I've had the podcast. It's been over a year. I'm not the same person. I am constantly building
me so that when someone sees me in the future, I'm not going to be the same person before.
I'm constantly trying to build myself. I will not let myself be the same Rob that I was five months ago or a year ago. If you listen to my first
episodes of the podcast, you're going to notice there's a huge difference between me one year ago
and me today. I'm constantly changing. I'm constantly building myself and I'm constantly
trying to improve myself. And this isn't something I'm not just trying to brag about this. What I'm constantly trying to improve myself. And this isn't something, I'm not just trying to brag about this.
What I'm saying is you have the exact same opportunity.
Either you build yourself
and you make a decision to build yourself each day,
or you just let life happen to you.
And I'm constantly trying to change,
constantly trying to improve.
And I hope you're trying to do the same as well.
And once again, don't take me
as if I'm preaching from my soapbox,
teach as I'm teaching from my soapbox, as I'm teaching from
my soapbox or preaching to you, whatever it might be. Take it as this. Take it as an empowering
thought, knowing that I was able to do it. Everyone that you know that you look up to is also able to
do it as well. And it took a decision to go, you know what? I'm not who I want to be today.
But what if I get a pen and paper? And what if I write down the qualities that I want
in one year? And I start building myself to get to that person. And you start making plans as if
you're a builder building a house. You have to make plans for what the house is going to look
like. You need to write down with a pen and paper what it is that you're looking to do,
what it is that you're looking to build, who you're looking to become. And you can change
your life right now if you decide to do that. You could change your life in an instant
with one decision just to build yourself and to say, screw the past, screw who I am at this
current moment. The future is now and now it's what I'm going to work towards. You lay one brick
at a time. Don't focus on the future. Focus on today. Worrying comes from focusing too far on
the future. The reason why most people can't get motivatedorrying comes from focusing too far on the future. The reason why
most people can't get motivated is because they're focusing so far on the future of what they want
their life to be that it seems so far away that it actually paralyzes them because they're not
going for it. So they decide, oh crap, I don't know what the next step is. The next step is just
the smallest step forward. That's all you have to worry about. But the problem is that most people
don't write down.
They don't plan.
They don't ask themselves, who do I want to be?
What do I want out of my life?
In order to build a house,
you have to make a plan on the house that you want to build.
In order to build your future,
you have to have a plan on the future that you want.
And you don't focus on the final details
and how far away it is.
That's where anxiety comes from. That's where worrying it is. That's where anxiety comes from.
That's where worrying comes from.
That's where stress comes from.
What you can focus though is right now in the present moment
and the person that you want to become in the future
and just taking one small step today
and doing that each day that you're going to.
But the key is to get a pen and paper
and to make a plan on what you want your life
to be, who you want to be.
And then you can start making a plan of exactly how it is that you're going to get there and
focus on each day.
Don't focus on the next month or the next year, the next six months.
Focus on today and building yourself today.
Focus on the things that are coming into your mind, the books that you're reading, the courses that you're a part of, the mentors that you're seeking
out, the coaching that you're getting from other people. That's what you focus on, just laying one
brick at a time. And your one brick is just today. The only thing that matters is the present moment,
today, right now, this second. So if you make a decision, I'm going to build myself. That's the
first step. You make a decision. I'm going to build myself and start focusing on my future.
And you get a pen and paper and you write down, what do I want? With a pen and paper,
not on your computer, pen and paper, go old school because then it's tangible. Your mind
makes the connection. This is in the real world. You can hold onto that piece of paper and you ask yourself, what do I want? And you start
writing down what you want. And once you have those things down, you could start making a plan
for each day progressing you further and further. Who do you need to become in order to get the
life that you want in the future. And you start building that person
because we're not born the way that we are. Bill Gates wasn't born Bill Gates that you know now.
Elon Musk wasn't born the Elon Musk that you know now. They built themselves over days and days and
days, years and years and years to become the person that they are. And you can do the exact
same thing right now in this moment to make a decision.
I'm going to build myself.
And you get a pen and paper and start making a plan.
