Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Discipline Over Inspiration—Every Time pt. 2
May 1900:01:29Tap to summarizeDiscipline Over Inspiration—Every Time pt. 2 Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. We need to put that same level of discipline into our daily activities so that when we do get an inspiration or we do get a motivation, that only fuels the fire. You all probably follow some sport on some level and the top players in the world who do drills before every match or every game. You know, why does a hockey player before a match have to go and shoot the puck 100 times beforehand? They're the best in the world. Why do basketball players have to do 100 free throws before a game, and they won't stop until they hit at least 50 in a row? Why are they practicing layups? Why is a baseball player, why batting practice? What do you need that for? If you're a golfer, why are you taking all those extra swings at the driving range? What do you need them for? You're already great. They're instilling that level of discipline, and along the way of coming into a tournament, coming into a game or a match, they're looking for anything that'll give them that emotional edge. Discipline instills that mechanical repetition, predictable, consistent activity, and then you add on inspiration and motivation for the mental part.

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Discipline Over Inspiration—Every Time
May 1800:01:31Tap to summarizeDiscipline Over Inspiration—Every Time Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. I'm sure you've heard the statistic by now. 95% of New Year's resolutions are gone by the middle of January, and the rest are gone by the end of January. We have these great ideas, we're inspired. Inspiration's a spark. Inspiration is a daily dose. It's not what carries you through. My son quotes, and I'll paraphrase, my son quotes a line that he hears in the military a lot. He's in the Army, he's in his seventh year, and he'll be retiring this year. And whenever the topic of motivation or inspiration comes up, he'll say, when motivation or inspiration is of no avail, discipline will prevail. I always thought that's a really good line. He said, Dad, I don't care how motivated you are, how inspired you are, I don't know anybody that's looking forward to getting up at 5.30 in the morning so they can go on a 12-mile ruck with 100 pounds on my back in either 100-degree weather or pouring rain, and he was in Alaska, or 40 below. I don't know too many guys in the bunks that get up and are really excited about that. So when we don't have the inspiration, we don't have the motivation, you know what works day in, day out, every day, discipline. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more.

May 1500:01:09Tap to summarizeAre You Certified to Win? Why Credentials Still Matter Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Questions that we ask is, we ask this of our clients, and we'll say, does everybody in the company hold the credential for the job that they perform? You know what the majority of the answer is for most people in most companies? No. So if you are the bookkeeper, you use QuickBooks Online or some other NetSuite or some other financial software. Have you taken all the certifications that the software offers? The answer is, probably not. If you're a project manager, have you taken all the project management courses that align with your level in the company? Probably not. So just something to think about. Think about your position, what you do, whatever credential, whatever continuing education credits, whatever training or certification that goes along, not just goes along with your job description, but makes you best in class, you may want to consider taking it.

Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Now that we have rapport, we can influence somebody to our point of view, right? Remember, there are three styles, right?

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Common Ground Wins: Why Similarity Builds Instant Trust
May 600:01:14Tap to summarizeCommon Ground Wins: Why Similarity Builds Instant Trust Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. You meet somebody for the first time, what is it you look for? Things in common, right? Because once we have something in common, we can then like each other. Now, not like each other in the way you're thinking, meaning we are like each other on some level. That is the basis on which we will allow somebody else to be in a relationship with us, or we influence them, or they influence us, okay? And it is how we're wired. Like if you didn't wake up today and say, ah, I did rapport yesterday, I'm not gonna do it today. That was exhausting. You have to have it every day because it's how we feel safe, right? So now this is good news for some of you because you're just like, oh, I don't know if I'm the most likable person. I'll leave it to you to decide. If you create commonality, the other person cannot help but like you. This might be the best thing you learned in this whole conference. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more.
