When you're living on purpose.

You see it like every second of the clock you see as winning.

You're scoring points with every second when you know you're doing the right thing.

And I just want to remind you right, it's the power of principles.

When you do the right things in the right order, and you do them consistently, you will get right results in life.

That's impossible.

Let me tell you what I believe.

It's your weakness, it's not your technique.

Don't think you know.

You the Impossible Life Podcast and you're sitting on a winning lot of.

Second an idea that is fully formed, fully understood, that sticks.

This is the Impossible Life Podcast because Nick and I are attempting to live impossible lives.

What we know is that nothing is impossible.

So instead of using.

Impossible as an excuse to not try, we'll use the pursuit it is impossible as an accelerant for greatness.

If something's never been done before, that just means it's unexplored.

If they tell you it's too hard, it's just waiting to be simplified.

Impossible as a default label used by uncourageous people unwilling to take a risk.

The real truth is this the solution to any impossible task starts with this question, if I had to what would it take?

What would it take?

Welcome to another episode of the Impossible Life Podcast.

I'm your co host, Nick Surface, and I'm looking across as a man who thinks the term downtime is an oxymoron.

That's right, friends, the phone you Garrett Uncle back, a man who has never wasted a minute in his life.

Up time only up looking for one percent efficiency.

You make server farms look lazy.

If you know anything about it, you'll know about that.

But if you don't, you'll just think that we're nerds.

And maybe you're right.

Anyways, Gee, I am very excited as always to dive into today.

Today was one of those episodes where I showed up at your house a five thirty am to record and I thought I had an idea of what we're gonna do, and we're like, we're gonna take a hard left turn.

And said, cool story, nerd, that's not actually what happened, but you know that's probably what happened in your mind.

Anyways.

So we talked about winning philosophy where we revisited it, and I think that's massively powerful.

And you talked about you mentioned on that episode about winning formula and you said that's a whole other episode.

Well, today is that whole other episode is Because wouldn't it be great if we could just say, hey, here's A plus B plus C plus D equals winning every time.

We would be we'd be working professional sports teams, we would be doing all the stuff that we do, and here's exactly how you get And I actually do think that this is that what we're going to give you today on the episode is that it's just what people want is do exactly this and it works all the time.

Winning philosophy is the mindset portion.

Okay, yeah, everything we're going to get into some math today.

You don't let that put you off every Yeah, if you don't like that, I'm sorry.

Everything in life is math.

Life is math.

Reality is governed by math.

Hey, you know, physics, chemistry, biology, space, time, it's all it's all math.

Some things in life are math plus math plus psychology.

Right, Psychology is the mindset portion.

I love mindset.

That's what winning formula was.

I mean, winning philosophy was.

Winning philosophy is the mindset portion.

Today we're going to talk about the winning formula, which is the math portion.

I put a lot of things into a math or algebraic formula because sorry.

That's how life works.

It is.

I mean a great example is how of how it's both is.

That's what our economic markets are today.

Their math problems h plus the psychology problem and there are times where the math doesn't make sense for a moment, and that's the psychology portion.

I viewer the math of math and the master of psychology.

You'd be really good at the markets.

Yeah.

Well that's why you get some of these really strong quotes from people like Albert Einstein, because, like I think, an overly simplistic understanding of it.

You'd be like, why is he talking about like motivational quotes, Like he has great quotes like official, yeah, even.

Officially understands the world right.

But because he also had a mindset.

By my point is.

Many physicists were also philosophers, right, because they sought to understand right, and they when they found the edge of physics, they were interested in philosophy.

Yeah.

So the goal of today, what we want to take you through is to help you understand the winning formula and then help you be able to apply it to your life to be able to look at where there's four things, and we want you to be able to look at your life and understand perhaps where you've been missing it so that you can get the wins and the results and the growth in your life that not just you want, but really we firmly believe on this podcast that God wants for you.

And that's one of the things that I think is underlying all this.

I don't necessarily know that everybody out there will really believe in their heart of hearts g that that God wants them to prosper.

I think it'll be like God wants me a prosper if like it's conditional, God wants me a prosper but like, ah, you know, and I think because people hear things like you know you shouldn't you can't have two lords.

You can't serve both money and God, which is one hundred percent true.

We're not going to ever step back on that.

Mammon.

Mamonas actually means what you put your trust in.

So you can put your trust in a lot of things other than God and create false idols.

That's a whole other podcast.

But God does God does want you to prosper when you by doing things his way.

His ways are best.

And so what I want to share just before we dive into this, you have a really strong belief about this and in the way you see your life.

And you told me from like literally before we even did episode one, you told me this, and here we are, you know, four plus years later, and like it's still one hundred percent true.

So, like, what is your kind of desire to or how you see.

This when people ask me about my dreams or my vision for my life.

So there's a lot to it, but I can put it into a very simple statement.

It's good to be able to simplify things helps you sometimes, just like you can have a really like complicated compass, and I've shown you what those look like, but it's also nice to just if you ever seen like a military watch, it has a little like tiny dime sized compass on the side and just a little needle and all all that.

The only directional on there is just an in for north right.

That's all that's on there.

Just kind of helps.

Hey am, I generally going in the right direction, And that's what this is for me.

It's a very simple compass.

Hey am, I generally going in the right direction and what that looks like for me, or the way I say it is that I want to go as far in ministry and business as possible at the same time, or another way I've said it is I want to go as far as I can in business and never stop leading in ministry, right, And because that's also because I kind of see them both interchangeably, and it's some of also the foundation that God put me on in my life where I saw people do very well or prosper in either area, but not both right, and that that it always just rubbed me the wrong way.

And I've explained that to people, or part of what's your purpose.

Some of what you're called to do is you'll you'll first see it or you'll first discover it and the things that really frustrate you, that really bother you, Cause just like anything in life, there's stuff that's gonna stick out to you, problems that that really bother you, that don't bother other people.

I'll talk about some of the stuff that bothers me to people.

Sometimes you're like, what are you talking about?

I've never even thought about that before.

It's like I've spent my entire life thinking what do you mean you've never thought about that before?

Well you call that problem site.

That's how that's the term you use.

I often repeat to people.

I'm like, what's your problem site?

And you're right.

People are like, what do you mean?

And I go and give my own example, like and I've shared this podcast, there's things that have stuck out to me about men my whole life that I'm like, well that doesn't seem right, like this, like there's something missing here and that that's like the clue in.

It's only whenever you actually stop and think about because because it becomes so much a part of your vision that you assume, like you said, it's everybody's vision, and then you'll say it to people and I'm like, I never even think about that or notice it.

Clue, clue, clue.

You know.

We need like a little one of those alarm.

It's one of those life questions we've talked about before.

What do you see right?

That is that is going to frame up what your life looks like?

Is when you look at life, what do you see?

It was?

It's the Israelites going into the Promised Land, the quiet Moses sent them in, came come back, give a report, tell me what you see?

Yeah right, they all looked at the same thing.

They gave different reports.

Yeah, very good.

So I guess the question if you're listening to that, I mean, Garrett just talked to what he sees for his life.

What does winning God's Way look like to you?

I would really, I would.

I would be really curious to sit and hear people answer that.

One of the things I love about what we do a Mighty Men is like Garrett, so how we do mighty Man?

Garrett'll preach and then he gives us a question to discuss in our group, and we all like, Garrett preachers for half the time.

Yeah, we gave us three yesterday.

Garrett preaches for half the time.

Then we go away and we spend half the time together and like, as we always say, that's the real magic is when you sit there and I love because you'll say things from the front people like oh yeah, like you hear all the oh Amen's like that's good, Okay, Well now we're gonna go talk about it.

And then you go like, hey, so you know, what does purpose in your life look like?

Well, it's the future.

It's computers, you know, Like you just and I'm saying that from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure if you know that movie, send tous high school Football rules.

But but but what I'm people don't actually like we so much of life happens and it goes by because we don't stop and actually wrestle with what's happened, and we're not willing to give things the time.

We want things to happen in a certain amount of time and if it doesn't happen to that sort of time, oh well, I guess it wasn't meant to happen.

And we move on like we want a microwave it and there's no microwave for growth.

Like you have to be able to wrestle with things.

And that's what I love about monument is we sit around and we ask these questions.

So for people out there, I'd be so curious to actually be able to hear from people, what does winning God's Way look like to you?

You know, because that's it's a it's a worthwhile answer to to go into.

But anyways, we're gonna get into the formula, okay, and you like we said, this is mathmat math, or as they say in the UK, maths, it's plural over there maths with an F, Yeah, with an F instead of thh, I'm good at maths?

Am I in it?

If you if you don't like math, just bear with us because, like Garrett said.

Sorry, sorry, life is governed by math, and it really is.

Like that's when you see these pictures of people doing things on the chalkboard like that worked out to something that you used, like the phone you use.

You want to be good at life, like I said, Like I said earlier, you need to understand both.

If you like I love psychology and I hate math, life's going to be hard for you.

Right.

See, I love math and I hate psychology, Life's going to be hard.

For you, right.

You need to get a little bit of both.

Yeah, Because the person that loves psychology and hates math is the person who understands how you feel but doesn't understand why.

You know why, how to change things.

I don't know how to make anything work right.

And the person who understands math but doesn't understand psychology can't get along with anybody, right Like.

This is I don't understand people.

I only understand the systems.

Give me ones and zeros all day.

Yeah, guess what neither of the are are as effective as they could be.

All Right, So gee, the winning formula is four things and they all multiply each other, and the very first one is right aim.

Right?

Is that so simple?

So last time we talked about winning philosophy, now we're talking about winning formula.

Right.

What is a formula?

It's a recipe.

And if you maybe you're like I don't like math, but you like cooking recipes are math?

You like math?

The point of this podcast is convinced everybody that they need math everything math.

We need a math sponsor.

You know.

Hey, if you would like to win, right, here's the recipe for it.

If you don't, if you want to instead of say formula, I'll say recipe because that's easier.

Very gracious digest, Right, But here's the winning formula, and this is the first key ingredient.

And different than a recipe, these ingredients they multiply each other, right, And if you understand math, when you multiply things, you can also accidentally do division if you multiply towards something.

That is less than a one.

We'll talk about that here in a minute.

But the first ingredient, first piece of the formula is right aim Okay, right aim.

This is having right so like very simple, I kind of brought it back to tactical battlefield.

Hey, we got to like shoot at the right thing.

Okay, so let's break that down.

There's a lot of pieces to that.

It's your vision, it's your strategy.

Let's talk about vision for a second.

Vision.

Here's the way I like to look at vision.

Vision is the world that you wish to create.

Vision is what you care about.

Vision is what you want to change.

Vision is some of what you it's some of what you see, it's some of your dream.

Purpose plays a big piece of right aim.

Right like to talk about right aim, you have to first define what is right.

And if you believe that God is a purpose for your life, then you would believe that there is a right aim for you.

If you don't believe God is a purpose for your life, you're just going to define like right aim based upon the outcome.

And that's a.

Very difficult circular formula to get stuck in of.

Well, I believe success.

I believe what's right is me succeeding.

And if you're not succeeding, you're not doing the right thing right.

That that is a like downward SPI spiral.

You can get stuck on in life.

But so if we're just going to put through a simple definition on right is like God's plan.

Well, I don't always know God's plan.

What I do know is what he tells me.

What I do know is what God speaks to me.

What I do know is the difference between right and wrong.

God won't show me the plan, but God gave me a very clear compass that points north.

I know which way north is.

I don't always know what's on the plan where are we going exactly?

But I know which direction is the right direction right.

God has given each of us a sin compass.

You know what's wrong, you know what's right.

And so I say that to say just a long vision.

I always like to share this story.

This is some of the greatest clarity in the Bible for me.

On having a.

Vision or having a dream is Joseph's life.

And just to paraphrase Joseph's life in forty five seconds, Joseph had a dream, and his dream was that he would be a leader, that his brothers would bow down to him.

That was not the purpose for Joseph's life.

If you read Joseph's story.

What you realize is that because of his consistency, because he stayed with it even when it wasn't working, he continued to be excellent.

Joseph continued to pursue being a leader one day over a decade of his life of it not working out.

Eventually that did happen for him.

His brothers even did bow down to him.

But that wasn't the purpose of Joseph's life.

Joseph lived purposefully even though he didn't feel a lot of purpose and what was happening in his life.

He controlled what he could control, gave his very best, sought greatness, and eventually his brothers did bow down to him.

But the purpose of Joseph's life was to save all of Israel from starvation and famine, and that's what was right for Joseph's life.

Joseph played the part that God put him on the earth to play.

God never told and spoke to Joseph and said like, hey, I'm going to use you to lead my people out of Israel or lead my people out of uh.

Into Egypt.

Right like that was the plan for Joseph's life, was to save all of Israel from starvation and famine.

Later, God spoke to Moses.

That way and said like, hey, I'm going to use you to lead my people out of God never gave Joseph a purpose statement like that.

He just put a dream in his heart to be a leader.

And it's really interesting that in scripture it just says Joseph had a dream.

Yeah.

I didn't say the Lord appeared to him or the Angel of the Lord spoke to him.

It just says Joseph had a dream.

So the first piece of winning formula is that you've got to have a right aim.

You have to have This has to boil down to commander's intent.

What direction are you going?

What problem do you want to solve?

Well, and here's what will mess a lot of people up.

And even in the Joseph example, so many people look at somebody like you or like a Joseph, they go, yeah, but he had this dream in their heart at this young age.

I didn't have that.

And what people have this blueprint in their mind.

It's very uncommon for a person who's at nineteen years old, like you were, to do something that is universally accepted as great.

I've never said to somebody, hey, one of my best friends in the Navy seel.

We do a podcast and they go like, oh, Navy seal, puh never.

Never.

I've told a lot of people I've never had that reaction.

I'm guessing you don't get that reaction either.

It is universally respected as great.

So what will mess people up is they think, well, I didn't have this thing in me at a young age.

So now I'm sitting here and I'm behind and I don't really know what to do, and when's this gonna happen?

And so they start to try and rush it right, because it's like if you ask your brain a question, it'll give you an answer, like what's my purpose, What's what's my vision?

And then they just they find something and they just go about it.

What you just said is to say, like, God gave you a compass, and here's the compass is that you would seek after him right, that you would that you would get your heart right with him.

You say this all the time, and I think it's.

It's God never puts someone in a place where they can't succeed right, right, Like, even sometimes success doesn't look like what success looks like.

Yeah, And in the middle of Job's destruction, there was a path for job to succeed, right, right, And what he did was he followed his compass.

Right, I'm gonna you know what, this sucks.

I hate everything.

I'm going to continue to honor God.

Right, Jesus didn't enter into what we know as his purpose until he was third.

Now here's what's so interesting.

The last thing we hear is at twelve years old, it's like, so he went and he submitted to his parents, and he was obedient to them.

And then eighteen years later, when he gets baptized, we hear God's voice audibly say, this is my son with whom I'm well pleased.

Well, what was he well pleased about?

He was well pleased about the way he had lived his life for eighteen years.

Yeah, but he wasn't doing miracles and he wasn't like changing the world.

He was getting prepared.

What does that mean?

It means that a lot of what God's interested in is who you're becoming, which means that if you're wondering where to start with what Garrett just said, because you're like, well, I don't have this dream in my heart and I don't necessarily have my right aim start improving yourself.

What does that mean, see closer to God, get around the right circles, start doing things God's way.

How does God do money?

It's actually that's actually the first piece for many of the great stories we see in the Bible, exactly right.

Like David.

David didn't have a dream or a purpose or a plan right as a thirteen year old boy, he just said, you know what, I love God and I'm gonna be my best.

Let's just make it.

Yeah, there you go.

I love God and I'm going to be my best.

If you there you go.

Thank you for shortening what I said.

That's the beginning of it.

And when you do that, right, when you love God and you become your best, it makes you capable, It gets you ready.

One of my favorite quotes Abraham Lincoln, I will prepare, and my time will come.

There will be a time for you if you'll prepare for it.

As soon as David didn't know what his problem was in life until it was standing right in front of him.

Yeah, he met his Goliath and he said, I'll kill you, and the whole world will know there's a God.

No one's going to speak about my God that way.

Yeah.

Right, when you've prepared, when you see a problem that was meant for you, you'll attack it.

If you've not prepared accordingly, you'll see a problem that was meant for you and.

Say, that's not my problem, right, Hint, there is a problem that's going to present itself in your life.

It is why you love Benny the Jet and you talk about these things all the time.

And I don't necessarily think that it's always picked up on, but like, there's a problem coming for you.

There's something, and don't be afraid of it.

Prepare.

Like if I told you you're gonna have to fight a bear, and like, no matter what, you're going to have to fight a bear.

I would hope that you're responsible be like, well, I'm gonna start it ready.

I'm going to become really trained at primary and secondary weapons systems.

I'm going to learn how bears like.

It's one of the traits of greatness, whether you look at people in the Bible or you look at people like Bruce Lee.

This was Bruce Lee's mindset.

He's like, I will be like I he The way he talked about it was like I believe the fight of my life is coming, and I'll be ready when that fight shows up.

Like had no, you know, it wasn't like there's somebody out there who wants to like you know, knew of a person who wanted to kill him.

He's like, I'll just be ready when the day comes.

Yeah.

Man, I love the preparation mindset.

Like that thought process gets me pumped.

So if you'll prepare, you will find a problem.

And like I said, that's part of what vision is.

You were meant to do something on the earth.

There's a problem that you're meant to solve.

There's a problem that there's or the way I like to talk about it is dragons, right, Like dragons are things that one need to be killed.

Dragons also hoard lots of gold, so there's value in killing a dragon.

But dragons are something that are They're a blight on the land.

They hurt so many people.

And if you you've seen or experienced a dragon in your life.

The easiest one I like to use that, like people understand is cancer, Like cancer is a dragon and they're so like no one is like there's no one that's like, yeah, you shouldn't fight against cancer.

I like, I don't like cancer is not a dragon for me, but I acknowledge cancer as a dragon in culture, and there are some people who are like, I will give my every breath to kill this dragon, and that's that's the problem that they've sought to destroy.

And it's you know, I'll you know what if one of my friends invites me, like, hey, come do this, you know, walkethon for cancer.

I did some as a kid, and I'd probably still do some.

I'm not going to get in anybody's way, and fighting that dragon is just not the problem that I'm after.

Everyone's got something like that that you like, it is worth giving your life to, right, like, you want to give your life towards a problem that's worth solving.

And one of my purpose questions is I think a lot of people, you know, they they don't think so, but they're stuck in that circular downward loop of they don't know what a rite aim is and so they just said, well, I guess right is to be successful, and so I'll just pursue whatever I can succeed at.

And when I think about that, I see a man who's been given armor and a sword and he's afraid of a bear and has decided to kill a chicken, right Like, well, I know I can kill this thing.

Yeah, of course you can.

You have a sword, and this is a nearly defenseless creature.

You're going to have to train if you want to kill a bear.

But that's the tools that you've been given were made for a much larger problem.

And no man is going to feel fulfilled butchering chickens with a sword.

It's not what you were meant to do.

But if you'll prepare for if you'll prepare for your problem, you will find a problem that you want to go after, a problem that is scary, dangerous, but a problem that you could say, even if I failed at this, it was worth doing.

Right, Like if there was a let's just you know, metaphorical allegorical here for a second.

If there's a bear, you know, living in your a bear outside of your home that has you know, endangered your children.

As a man, you should want to kill that bear.

This bear is you know, I in my family.

If I don't kill it, it might kill me or my family.

And that would be a thing that even if you failed in doing so, you would have done so heroically.

Like here's a man who gave all he had trying to defend his family.

Right that even if you failed at it, it would have been a worth while problem to fail at.

And that's really a that's a good indicator of hey, I'm on the right thing where you could say, like, man, I really want to change this, I really want to solve this problem.

I want to make the world a better place in this way.

And I don't even know if I can really do it, but to succeed at it would be great, would be special.

If I failed at it, I would still feel like I was doing the right thing.

If you don't feel that way about what you're doing, Like, even if I failed at this, it would it would feel like the right thing.

You're in the wrong loop.

You're in the circle circular downward loop of trying to define right aim by.

What you think you could succeed at.

Yeah, what I love about that question.

Gee, that is such a heart revealer question.

Because let's stick with the bear analogy and we can apply it easily to business.

Let's say the guy wanted to kill a bear because he wanted to prove how tough he was, so basically he died for pride.

Now he died a fool trying to do the exact same thing.

Whereas if he died because he was trying to protect his family.

He's a hero.

So a lot cares way more about why because a lot of people will be wrecked by you asking that question because I'll be like, man, I'm just working my job for money.

Man that like, what am I doing?

This is worthless?

Okay, So you've now revealed why you're doing it.

What if you did the exact same job, but you did it with a very godly purpose and you're like, well, how is that possible?

What if you went in there every single day with the mindset of, like, I'm here to be a difference maker.

I'm here to show what a godly man looks like.

I'm here to be a blessing to every single person I encounter.

I'm here to develop myself and grow better because I know that God's not only using this now to bless others, but also repair me.

Doing the exact same thing, very different reason.

Guess what your level of purpose and your motivation is going to feel like for that very very different because like I think that's what so many people think, Like when they discover purpose, they're just gonna completely like wipe the table off, just throw everything off, like everything I've been doing is wrong.

Now I've got this one thing, and it's it's like, no, what changes is internal in you?

You know, if you need to wipe everything off, means if you're like a porn star, like what I think about Josh Broom, Yeah, okay, then you need to wipe this late clear because it's clearly sinful.

But I think a lot of people will look at that and they'll they still are stuck on the what rather than why.

I've walked that journey with some men before.

These people will come to me like trying to like help me with my purpose.

Sometimes it's just that you're doing the right thing, but you the way you feel about it, what's in your heart about it, is what's wrong.

Yep, we change that.

Nothing on the outside, change everything on the inside change.

Yeah.

And then I've also worked with guys where it was the flip side.

It's like, man, their heart was right, but what they were doing was wrong and they had to make a change right right, And that's it's very difficult to do.

I've watched the men do it, and sometimes it kind of looks like blowing up your life and moving across the country and making a big change but again, when you when you're when you are after the right aim with the right heart, that's where it's like, Man, even failing at this, I know is the right thing to do because it's understanding that that God is your provider, yes, and not so like, oh, it's it's my job to do everything.

No, my job and one hundred percent my job and nothing else.

My job is to do what God's put me on the earth to do, and I'm going to let.

Him take care of the rest.

Very good, all right, ge, So winning formula Part one was right aim?

Yeah, and the business I want to give like the practical side of this as well.

Right, So we're giving a winning formula, right aim, Like, that's that can seem intangible for people.

So I just want to take like one step deeper into practical reality to help people see this formula is very real.

The business side of this, of this formula.

The other way of saying right aim would be saying product market fit or a clear value proposition.

Right, It's, hey, what problem are you going to solve?

If you start investing in young businesses?

It's one of the.

First things you're going to see is like how valuable is the problem you're solving.

How is what you're trying to do going to solve that problem?

And if you can't tell me how what you're doing is going to turn into a product, and how the market is interested in your product, non investable?

Right, It's it like.

Doesn't matter how altruistic you are, how brilliant you are, that the market does not reward brilliance.

Right, solve a problem, solve it well, solve it consistently.

Yeah.

I think what you just described right there is where so many entrepreneurs shouldn't have even gotten out the blocks, but they did.

And you see people that are down the road with lots of money and time invested into something that they're like, but this is such a cool thing, and it's like, yeah, but nobody wants this.

Yeah, Like you're solving a problem that you that like five people have.

It's not you.

You didn't find a market.

You found a passion, right, And that's a big thing I talked anyways that I'm going down my principles.

I know you've worked with some people, so many, so many, so many startups anyways, Okay, gee, so that's right.

In that was the business example.

Number two is the old action plan and.

I'll just say there's so much more we could say about right aim, for sure, but is there's a lot of other episodes that you could take pieces of this from right, but we're trying to give the formula.

Here's the math, right, So right aim, and then the second piece is really your your action plan.

This is right execution.

This is also consistency.

There's a lot to this second piece, but hey, I've got to have the you know, step one is clarity, Step two is consistency.

Got to I've got to have the right tactics, or another way of saying it is like how Paton talked about strategy and tactics.

Step one is knowing.

What like what should we do, what hill should we take?

And then step two is knowing how to do it.

It's the execution of it.

It's the tactics of it.

There's a lot of other pieces to step two as well, which is the training side of it.

You've got to if we look at it in the market context, right, it's okay, what's the problem that you're going to solve?

And then the second piece is how consistently can you deliver that value?

And so maybe in your life you've got like, man, this is the big dream that I want to solve, or this is the big problem I want to solve.

This is the dream that I want to see happen.

This is the way that I want to change the world.

Okay, what is your plan?

What are the steps that you're going to take to do that?

What's your level of excellence in that in those steps?

What's your level of consistency in those steps.

I was saying this to Nick before that a lot of people would look at like if you watch the Seal teams do something, you would just think like, man, those guys are like so special and like so high level.

Like I don't even know how to do the things that they know how to do.

And that's not what I see.

Like, Yeah, it's like you don't know anything about long range shooting because that's not your world, Right, you go hang out with some other long range shooters.

You can be.

As like there are civilian courses that you can go to and for they're kind of expensive, but like twelve fourteen thousand dollars you can go spend like three weeks at places like Hat Creek, and you're as good as a seal sniper.

Really.

Yeah, like it's not.

That's not the it's not like they know how to some magical you know, they don't have alien technology, right, Yeah, what you should see when you look at at Navy seals.

What I see is I.

Watch a guy step through the door a thousand times in a row, and his foot lands in the exact same place every time, right right.

It's like watching a like if you microscopically studied great NBA players, It's like the ball is rolling off of like the exact same spot in their fingertips every time.

Their their level of execution is perfect.

It's not that they're you know, they've figured out some magic thing.

It's that, Okay, this is what works.

Here's my chocolate chip cookie, and I'm gonna make a million of them the exact same way right now, Like, oh, I've got this great I'm gonna make the greatest chocolate chip cookie ever.

Cool.

You could definitely sell those, right, but then you can't consistently do.

It right now.

What Garrett said in there, the right action or the action plan, aka the right execution.

To me, I think a lot of people can get you can get broken in any one of these.

Garrett said.

A couple of things here, and it's easy to be like, oh yeah, okay, Navy seals right, like they put their foot in the right place.

Well, here's the thing.

They had someone show them what the right place was.

For a lot of people in business and in life, you don't have someone saying, here's exactly the right place.

So guess what.

Yeah, I never really questioned in seal training, right, is this gonna work?

That's exactly right.

You're like, I just need to do what they say because it's proven.

Well, in your life you don't have that, So first you have to figure out what right place is and then guess what.

Guess how that comes from doing a lot of the repetitions the wrong way.

I think about like I'm putting this into marketing context and different contexts that I have in my own life.

I think this is like, for example, in your business, you may go like, we need to run ads.

Yes, you do, well, we're running ads and it's not working.

We're running really bad ads right, or you're running into the wrong people, or you're optimizing.

Like there's so many different things and so it's like how many reports.

Shoot the enemy?

We shot millions of rounds?

Yeah, yeah, exactly, we shot them all.

Well, yeah, you weren't very accurate.

Nothing hit, right, nothing hit, but you got rid of all your AMMO.

And we laugh at that, as one of my instructors used to say, you can't miss fast enough.

Right.

Okay, that's that's a great one.

But you get my point, Like in some of these things that we take these lessons from, you need to think about what that looks like for you because we don't have, you know, seal instructors for life, right, Like what we're hoping to be on this podcast is to help people grow in their vision.

But what we will always say on this podcast is that you need to find mentors, You need to connect with people locally.

Like Garrett and I aim to be everything we can be to draw people closer to God and that they would see Him wholeheardly and have their thinking changed and their perception of what a godly man changes by doing this podcast and all the stuff that we do.

But at the very same time, it will never replace actually being able to follow somebody who's followable and actually spending time with them in true discipleship.

It just won't.

So I want to make sure to highlight that because in whatever you're applying this and you're like, okay, I need to execute right.

Know that this is going to take a lot more reps than what you think.

Whatever you think it is, Multiply it by two and maybe you're close.

Maybe Okay, I'm gonna put you on the spot here, Nick, let's do it.

Why do you think?

Okay, you get guys, they get the right plan or close to a right plan.

They got they got a good used a good plan.

Yeah, and then they step into execution and they're not consistent.

Right, you got a good plan.

What what what happens to men that they can't consistently execute on what they know is a good plan?

Yeah?

This is I have an answer for this immediate because it's something I think about a lot.

I think that people's underlying assumptions of what it will be like is never what reality is.

And so when reality starts to not match what they didn't even know they made this assumption.

People have a blueprint in their head of how it's gonna go, like, yeah, it's gonna be hard, but you don't really know how hard.

And so whenever the what you had in your head doesn't match with reality, your your level of belief in what you set out to do starts to wane, and so does your consistency.

Like when belief drops, action drops, and that's what that's what that's.

What you said it it's belief.

Yeah, I think there's a lot of things that you know, you have at least one that's still young, like mine are.

And I think there's a lot of things that stand out when you observe young people and like the nature of people, and especially in children like your youngest and my oldest, who like really are competitive, have a dr high drive to win.

What happens to them when they swing at the ball with all their might on their first attempt and they don't get it right, They get so angry they throw the I don't even want to do this anymore.

This is stupid, right.

Because they went in with this like high desire, high level of motivation to win, and then their motivation met reality, and motivation comes and goes, and children don't know how to work through that correct and so they have this emotional encounter with reality and what is supposed to help you push through that is what you were saying belief, right, Like that's okay, I missed, but I know I'm meant to hit this ball.

If you don't have the belief backing that up, you say like, I don't even want to do this anymore.

You know, baseball stupid?

Why would I want to ever swing the bat again?

It's like you swung like there was nothing really wrong with what you were doing.

Now when you watch a child swing a bat, it's pretty much everything was wrong with what they were doing.

But you made a good attempt.

Let's attempt again, because I know you can hit the ball and help get the bat onto your ball.

But the point is what and you said it right, is it's the belief piece, and that's what messes up people in their execution.

Right.

You've got to say like, Okay, I've got the plan, and when I step up to the plate and I miss, it's just that my execution needs to get better.

You're the opposite of stepped in the exact same place every time, because think about what seals were asked to do is walk into a room where they know you're coming and they have machine guns pointed at the door.

How are you how are you supposed to win in that?

Yeah, you have to be what Kobe said, I'll tell you what I'm going to do and you still won't be able to stop me.

Not because it's only because, like Kobe would say, that is because my execution is better than yours.

I'll tell you what I'm going to do, and you still can't stop me.

That's what went like.

So what I'm the point I'm making here is in step two.

So if you really want to win in life, you can win with And Patent even said this, great tactics will save the worst strategy, and bad tactics will destroy the best strategy.

A man who was known as one of the greatest strategists in World War Two put tactics up on the pedestal and said, you can have an average plan, but if your level of execution is high, you're going to win.

And I see this all the time in business.

I see products who, in my opinion, the product is average, but I see them crush it and level of execution.

Apply this to business because you did this for the first step g in right aim for action plan, you've kind of touched on it, but like, what like take this a step forward for market the market example, what does what does right execution look like in the market?

Okay, so in the market, what right execution looks like right again, we're making you know, here's the big picture winning formula, right aim Right.

This is the first piece.

Second piece is action plan and right execution.

In the first piece with winning formula, we talked about product market fit.

Right, Okay, so we're making the market example, just trying to make this a little bit more tangible for you.

Market example.

For the second piece, which is right execution is just repeated value delivery or consistent value delivery.

This is just like in a restaurant, you don't get rewarded for like having one great dish one time, right, like the like who do you love?

And I love In and Out?

Why it's so good every time?

Everywhere?

It's like, yes, their burgers are so good.

But also I wouldn't say, like, you know, In and Out Burger is a fifteen on a scale of one to ten.

It's just a great burger and it's great every time, exactly right, And that's why people go back.

Right, there's probably more magical burgers out there than in In and Out Burger, but I can't it's not right off the road, easy to pick up every single.

Time, right, and in multiple states.

Yeah, and so like in that example, what pays really well, high levels of quality, consistent delivery.

There's people in the Northeast, like god, I doubt it.

In and out by this kid, you got to come to the south and the Southwest.

Oh man, if you do go to in and out, it is just wonderful.

Anyways, shout out in and out.

They've brought me so many happy moments in my life.

All right, Gee, so we've got right aim action plan.

Next up is well, just you know what that does.

And so let's take out of the market and bring it back into like the big picture because I want this to be realistic for people in business.

But really the only reason I'm using the business examples is to help people understand and believe that this is the winning form.

Yeah for sure, right, this is what works when you can do things consistently.

Okay, let's take this to marriage.

Yeah, when you can do something consistent consistently, you know what that gets you.

It's trust.

You.

When you are consistent, you get trusted and trust is the high way for value.

Right when you in the market, when you can do something consistently and you and people trust you in it, trust allows you to scale if you want to grow the level of quality in your marriage.

You need consistency.

Consistency creates trust.

Then when your wife is like, well, man, I see the way you did this one thing, and I'm starting to believe you'll do everything that way, that's when every area of your marriage gets better.

Yeah, that's a that's a I think that's an easy one to understand, but it's there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

But it's so true.

I'm telling you, man, I've told it on this podcast before.

When you I'll put it like this.

I had really started like leading myself intentionally to the point where I was like dogmatic about my discipline because not because I was being legalistic, but because I realized I need to go.

I had made compromise a regular practice, and I realized what it was costing me.

So I became hardcore about my discipline in everything.

And I remember Rien and I were sat in bed.

She I that's why, just just with you on this, this is why businesses that have great customer service.

It's not because the owner is just such a nice, merciful person, right, It's because they're relentless and they're like that one bad experience is going to cost so much business.

Ya, they realize I'll do whatever it takes to not have a bad experience.

Yeah, because you realize what you realize how valuable it is, right, you realize what it's costing.

But also, and I don't think, I think you realize what it costs you more than you realize what's possible.

I think you discover what's possible, but you realize the cost of you know what you're missing first.

And that's how it was for me.

So when I started realizing how much my compromise and discipline were like leaving me short, I was like, man, I want to figure out what's on the other side of that, So I'm going to start being hardcore.

Well so I was hardcore about my discipline.

I can't even remember what I did.

I did something that Rihan didn't like, and she said, I don't like when you when you do that.

I said, okay, I'll never do it again.

She's like okay, and then she and that was it.

There was no like I didn't have to discuss it with her, we didn't have to talk about the way she felt.

I didn't have to apologize multiple times.

I didn't have to like convince her why it would be different.

She was just like, Okay, I remember we moved on.

I didn't say it, but on the inside I was like, oh my gosh, this is amazing.

Like my wife knows that if I say something, that's the end of it.

That did not come because I did something once or twice or I was really good at working out.

It was because she saw me do that in every single area.

What you said you're gonna do the dishes, what you said you were never going to lose your temper, you said you were gonna do this with the kids.

You know, you start hitting those those things enough times, it just becomes like, yeah, that's that's who that person is.

And it was incredible.

But you're either training your people and your customers to believe you or you're training them to not believe you.

Yeah, and that's when you when you realize the value of that of that trust, that's when you'll prize it and protect it that way.

Yeah.

I had one of our friends yesterday tell me, hey man, just like thank you for like I know you're in a crazy season of life right now, and thank you for just always bringing your best at mighty men.

Yeah, right.

I I like, there's times where I'm just like I'm pressed and just crushed by how much I got going on, and I just whatever it takes for me to bring my best to mighty men, I do it.

I don't get paid by the reviews.

I don't get paid at all.

Right.

I do it because it's what I what's what I've believe in.

And the reason I care about it so much is because one of the reasons I know that helps it grow.

It's not just this reason, but the reason I know that helps it grow is my level of consistency.

If sometimes my messages were good and sometimes like man, I can tell Garrett was tired this week, what would happen is some people would say, like, I won't come, Garrett's probably tired, right, right.

And the reason I want people to come isn't for me.

I want them to come so that they can get relationship with other men and see some of the fruit in their life that comes from following God, doing it with other men, and experiencing transformation in their life.

But if I don't do my part right, if I'm not consistent, then people are going to people are like, people are going to match my level of consistency.

If I'm not consistent in my delivery, people are not going to be consistent in their attendants.

If your product is not consistent, your customers will not be consistent.

Back.

Yeah, I just little bonus, not it.

I keep feeling like I need to say this, so I'm going to.

I've thought about this a lot, and this is just a side note for those of you that start businesses or you think you're gonna have a business partnership.

I've thought about because I've got three businesses.

One of them I do on my own, the other two one of them I do with Garrett.

The other round I do with the business partner who's in my production company.

And I've not had any bad business relationships.

And you can say I'm lucky, and maybe I was, but I've thought about this.

What's the number one we got lucky with me?

Dude?

Okay?

So I've thought about this, and I've asked myself like what, Okay, So I've got business relationships that work, and I thought, what's the number one thing you should look for when you're when you're looking for a business partner?

And you know what I boiled it down to G is reliability.

It's the number one thing.

Well, no, you laugh at this, but here's what I mean by that, and it's that I never have to question how either of my business partners is going to turn up, Like I never wonder.

And you could say, well, well, that's easy.

You got a Navy seal.

Guess what.

My other business partner's not a Navy seal.

He's a normal dude who went to college.

Uh, you know, he's really really amazing with cameras and and just a great person who I love dearly.

I never wonder his name is Matt.

I never wonder about how mad or Garrett's turned up.

Literally, we've been I've had, I've I've pushed Matt.

You'll love this.

There was times when we flew to London once and I said, you know what we're gonna do.

I realized we were competing against other people.

We were there for Puma, and it was gonna be about speed to market in the US.

So I said, let's just stay on us time.

We'll go to the party and shoot everything we need to do, and then we'll stay up through the night and we'll go to bed at what is normal time in the US, but will be like five or six in the morning UK time.

That way, everything's already ready to be like presented.

We'll send it to the people that need to present it and we'll win.

And we did.

Now he was, he was, and you know what, when we will.

The reason I'm bringing that up, Matt was never like nah, dude, come on, that's too hard, or oh I'm tired.

I never wonder how he's going to turn up.

He always turns up, whether he's tired, whether he's sick, and he brings excellence and I know who he's gonna be.

And like it's the same thing with you.

I've I've tell people.

I'm like I could show up to Garrett's house at two in the morning, slap him in the face and be like, hey man, we need to wake up do a podcast.

You'd be like, give me ten minutes, you get coffee, you'd like, get yourself presentable, and we would go podcasts and like that's not common.

But like the point I'm saying this is because I want you to.

If you're looking at a business partner, that should be the question you're asking, do I want or if this person's going to turn up in a mood or sometimes it's going to be this way sometimes it's going to be that way, or are they going to be consistent every single time?

If they're consistent every single time, man, that's a great quest.

Sports values the same thing, and it's a very expensive industry.

The guy who only shows up on the mound half the time, it's like, man, sometimes that dude is lights out and the other times he can't get the ball in the strike zone, never makes it out of the double a trip area.

Never the guys who show up on the mound or the guys like dude, this guy shows up every time.

That's exactly right.

All right, Gee, so we've got the first a ready to move on.

Yeah, let's do all right.

We kind of touched on.

Number three is alignment.

So, like I said, this is the winning formula.

It's multiplication, right, So we have you know, number one right aim and there's a lot in that right.

Then there's that's clarity, vision, purpose, strategy, a lot of things we could talk about.

Again, it's just the formula.

We're not driving deep on every single thing.

That's step one multiplied right aim multiplied by right execution in simple formula, multiplied by alignment.

Okay, So step three is alignment.

Here's what you need to understand about alignment, though, I'm going to do some math, so just put on your math hat with me.

For a second.

Alignment is a maximum of one.

Well, dang, So you're not gaining any value from alignment.

You are only losing value from a lack of alignment.

Right, great, Like here's okay, look at it this way.

It's a very simple analogy.

Look at alignment as a plumbing pipe.

Okay, you can have a perfect, you know, brand new pipe.

It's and that's what a lot of businesses are.

You just start a brand new business.

Hey, we're in alignment.

Why the pipe's clean, right, got a brand new pipe.

There's nothing there's no clogs or you know, things caught in the drain that are slowing down the flow or creating friction.

The pipe can't doesn't create more water.

It just allows the water to flow.

When alignment is poor, when you start to get friction, well, you could have like great valuable water or product, but the alignment gets in the way of that.

Right.

So alignment is where you got everything pointed in the right direction, where both partners, where both people in a marriage, where all of the team is aligned to the vision right.

I'm not going to do an alignment teaching.

We cover that in Mindset Master.

We've also talked about alignment plenty on the podcast.

Alignment is also structure, right, right, You've got to have the right structure that supports the system for everything to work together.

You can have you know, right plan, right execution, but if you don't have all the support systems around a seal team, they don't work very well either.

You've got to have you know, when we went on the battlefield, there's twenty of us, there's one hundred people behind us, whether it's aircraft mechanics, the aircraft, the intel team, the support team, all these different people that enabled us to be on the battlefield.

Right.

So alignment is getting everything pointed in the right direction.

It's a mac some of them value of one, and.

It is the structure.

If you don't, if you when you don't have alignment, say you and your partner have a let's just talk about alignment the way.

We've talked about it before for a second.

You guys have a right plan, you guys have right execution, but you and your partner, and I've seen this happen many times, aren't aligned necessarily necessarily on what matters most, or aren't aligned on what the you know, the vision, the true meaning of the business is what happens is in the beginning that'll start to create some friction.

So maybe you have a valuable product that you know, good execution, good training, planning your team, but because you guys aren't aligned, each of these decisions will start to have friction on them, and it slows down in the flow of the business, until ultimately it either slows down so much that the business can't succeed or the alignment is completely cracked and the business fails because.

One partner wants to do this and one partner wants to do that.

Right now, we've talked about god math as being one plus one equals three, right in relation to alignment.

Do you think that the reason it it's one plus one equals three is because people are so used to feeling drag that what they think is one is not actually one.

You set that question up perfectly.

The one of the examples I've used that I've experienced my own life of like great alignment, or when I teach on on on team and when I talk about synergy, I've talked about where I've been on the battlefield, there's twenty of us that the enemy thought they were one hundred.

Yeah, it's because the enemy is used to feeling, like experiencing people out of alignment, right, So their estimation of what twenty is is inaccurate.

There was what however, you want to look at it, There wasn't a hundred of us.

It was just twenty of us at maximum effectiveness.

Right, twenty is twenty, right, right, But the way you're used to twenty feeling is not what twenty is fully capable of.

Right.

Yeah.

And that's that's why I want to because we've said that before that and that's that is such a This can be a in coal thought process when you because when you're saying alignment, like I wanted, I wanted to paint this for people, where most people feel friction is with other people.

And that's how we speak about alignment a lot.

But you can have really great people that you get along with that you have the same vision, but your actual actions can be pulling in different directions because you're not clear on the actions that need to be taken aka go back to step two action plan.

Your execution can be in the wrong things, because you'll see this where you're like, everybody's whole hardly.

I look at what you've done with Union.

You guys have such a simple thing.

It's one line, one factory, one shell.

That's that was your whole goal for the year, and everything you did pointed at that.

And for people that don't know that, Garrett's working in a you're basically redefining what it means to actually have manufacturing.

And so right now you're you're developing munitions a big goal, big goal, massive goal, and it's going to be very big.

Yeah, it goes very proud.

It's uh, it's I mean, it's special what's happening.

But right now you're doing that with munition shells, and you're not a munition's company.

You're just doing it with munition shells.

Right now, now, what would be very You have so many moving parts in there.

You have what fifty people.

Now working for you.

Yeah, it's over fifty, okay, over fifty.

It grows every week.

So that's why you know, if you listen to an ald episode this podcast, you're like, wait, I thought there was twenty Yeah, it happened that fast.

But but you've always had that central in the stain, and you said that from day one.

I remember talking to you about it.

In February of this year, we're known like this is the very last podcast will release this year and in December and still the same saying and to me that that is alignment.

So now apply that to all the different areas of your life.

You can be with right people, but maybe you start to get caught in some side missions or you know, you start doing things that you think are towards that, but they're not.

Actually that's when you start to take it down to less than one.

Like you said, that's whenever you start to reduce what's actually flowing through the pipe.

And so like, I don't want to be cynical.

I think I just want people to understand how important this is to have that that clear flow of like, hey, we're all going in the same direction.

We're all very clear about why we do what we do, where the actions that we're taking lead towards and you know, the type of people that we need to be in order to make that happen.

And and like you said, it feels like more.

It's it's really just a perspective issue, right, because look at it this way, let's make it.

Let's talk about it from a spiritual perspective a lot.

What you know, alignment is getting everything point in the right direction, right, that there's a purity to that.

The opposite of that is some form of a miss or friction, and that's exactly what sin is.

Sin is to miss the mark.

Yeah, okay, when you don't sin, does it make you more of what you were supposed to be?

Right?

Not like Adam.

If Adam had not sinned, it didn't make Adam more than what he was designed to be.

Sin made him less than what he was designed to be.

Right.

So it's it's what it's from what side are you looking at the equation?

You might, oh, the more I don't sin, I'm multiplying myself.

No, you're just getting back to whole right, You're getting back to what you were designed to be right.

And we've talked about that before about some people think the purpose of their life is not the sin, and it's like, no, yeah's definitely not.

Sin was just what got in the way.

And so I also say this around alignment.

Alignment is so important.

But you can have because Nick was asking me about this in the beginning, and I was like, well, what do you know about principles?

I said, Nick, you and I are a great example of an alignment.

We could get really aligned on a wonderful idea that is an unprincipled idea, and our level of alignment is not is never going to make that thing work with that when you don't get principles right, Like principles is math.

When you don't get the math right, alignment's not going to help you.

You guys just have a good time and have great relationship and get along along the way, but you're not going to make it more than what it was.

Supposed to be.

Yeah, And that that was where it like, cause we especially in our circles here, like we're taught so much about alignment and it's one hundred percent to do with people, and so like so many people just back.

I just got to get the people.

Right then, because I've seen I've seen the other side of it.

People got the math right, but there are alignments terrible, and it's like they're just limping along.

It's like, man, you guys are so okay.

You could do so much.

If you could just get aligned right, your math would be so much more powerful.

And you got other people like, man, we're we have perfect alignments, like yeah, but your math is never going to.

Work right, Yeah, and that those are I think those are the one that that really leave people with a mess because they're like, but but like we had you know, we put God first.

Our values were right, and it's like God made a principled world and that that's where the just righteous side of God's nature comes out.

Is as Nick likes to use as an example, like you're trying to plant an orange farm in Texas.

Yeah, your level of alignment is never going to fix that.

That's exactly right.

Yeah, thank you for quoting me to me.

Wow, I feel like I do that to you.

You've never done that to me.

That was a sobering moment, A good example.

Thank you.

All Right, what's the what's the market example here?

Man?

Because I I was surprised at what your market example was.

Okay, so alignment in market context right to people who don't speak what we talk about here on the Impossible Life, it's proper incentivization right right, And this is so this is get like you could have a brilliant plan for your business and everything if the payment structure is not right, like when you get paid for your product.

That can blow up the business if you tell you know, like you could have a great product, you could have a great team level of execution.

But you start telling your employees you're not going to get paid for two years.

Wrong, incentivization, business isn't going to work.

I could continue to mess with the math on that, but it's incentivization.

Everyone had like follow incentive, right if you want to see if something's going to work, what has been incentivized and if you incentivized a team correctly, that will perform the way that you want them to perform.

Right now, everybody thinks money, Yeah, and what you you worked in one of the greatest incentivization teams in the world where they get paid far less than like a lot of people listening to.

This, Yeah, the the Kobe Bryant of the Seal team makes one hundred and twenty K year.

I mean think about really think about that.

They think about the price that dude's paid and what he's been anes to do.

I mean, I'm thinking about some guys that I know, guys from development group that they're like the Kobe Bryant of the Seal teams, right, I think he made like one hundred and thirty k is last year in right, you know, he's an E eight.

You know, with eighteen years, it's like, well, you just don't make that.

Much money, right.

And the reason I wanted to highlight that is because I don't want people to just be so simple that they make it solely about money.

Because once again, at some point we'll talk more about what you're doing in union, because I feel like we keep you know, it's a big thing that you're doing.

If you pay attention to this podcast, a lot of what Garrett's doing has already been described on this podcast, not actually to the detail it has, and you're actually just walking it out.

What I'll say is that when you talk about visions or talk about slay dragons or building your own castle you talked about earlier this podcast with cancer, when you start having people realize that they're part of something more, they'll give you way more than they ever would just for money.

And so just really capture that.

We've been Like I wrote an offer letter a few weeks ago to somebody that the salary he's coming from San Francisco working for one of the biggest companies that you know of, right at the top of the market, and we're paying him half of what he got paid there.

We just we can't We're at the level that we're at right now, we can't afford to pay what those guys pay.

But he's coming here for opportunity, and he's also coming here because what we're doing really matters to him.

Yeah.

Right, So there's a different type of value people, so many people that have joined our team.

Now that's not every role.

This is just like some of like the top you know, tech talent roles, some of those salaries are just ridiculous and unmatchable.

A lot of the you know, many of the other roles.

Sure we can match pay, but some of those top tech roles there's a huge skew from hundreds of thousands too.

If you if you read about some of these AI companies, you got softwares in the millions of dollars per year.

Right, so tech like really skews the top five percent of the market and talent salaries.

But anyways, the point I was making is that people come and join our team not just because of the financial opportunity, but because of like they believe in what we're doing, and that means so much more.

We've had some people join our team that they're at a company that, you know, they'd already been there for eighteen years.

They loved what they were doing there.

They're like, you know, there's nothing wrong with the corporate structure, good pay, good benefits, and they just did not care at all about what that business did right, and so they left.

Now I'm thinking of a couple specific people, we matched their pay.

Our business way riskier.

Yeah, what they were doing right, Like that business that they were in, thinking of two specific people, gonna it's still gonna be there twenty years from now.

It's very like mainline product going to be there for a long time.

And they could have just kept doing that, like kept kept the safety, but they left because they wanted to do something that mattered.

You know, I just realized, dude, I'm wearing the union shirt while we're talking about It's like it's like I didn't realize I came on here to do an ad for union.

But but I love that because it's it's a practical example.

And I think for anyone out there.

You are interested in the jobs that we have open to have a lot of jobs open.

You can go to the Union page on LinkedIn and just check out our available jobs.

I have a lot of people asked me like I want to work for you know, I'm like, well, okay, well yeah, go go to the website, look at our open jobs, and if you can do those things, please apply.

Don't text s Garett.

I'll just say what he's thinking.

Don't text him.

Just go to the page.

There's a reason that page exists.

All right, gee, so we've got right aim, right action plan, We've got alignment, and now we move on to the one that everybody loves more than anything in this equation.

We've multiplied them all and now it's time.

Oh yeah, right, So the first two right, right aim, and right execution.

That's where a lot of your math is happening.

Right, That's where you get to some big numbers.

If you've got a big plan, that's a bit.

That's a big first number, right right, multiply that by quality execution.

That's then now you're starting to get some big numbers.

Okay, Alignment can completely erode that thing.

Right.

You could have the biggest number in the world on one and two, but then you multiply that by you know.

Point zero one.

You're not doing so good correct, right, like you eroded it completely, and then you've got to multiply all of that by time.

And time is the big number.

The longer you can do the right thing for like, the longer you can have a clearer plan and have consistent quality execution with alignment, the number just gets like infinitely bigger.

It just continues to grow, So time doesn't.

There's I can give you the market.

I can give you like a split example in the market, and we'll get there here in a second.

But time is really simple.

You just got to keep doing it.

Another way of saying that is that the market rewards patience.

How long can you add value and wait for return?

If you can continue to do like this is a spiritual principle.

If you can continue to do the right thing without waiting for return, you store up value, right.

You see this happen in the market, And there's a And that's why it's like, gosh, if you can really get a Kingdom mindset, it's such a great benefit to you in this world as well.

And Jesus, we did a whole podcast on Kingdom.

Go back and listen to that one, because I think it shakes up what people think kingdom means where the Bible talks about kingdom.

It gives you the ability to look at this world right, because he just talks about the kingdom of heaven is like this, he's also talking about the world we live in today.

When you get this piece of kingdom mindset, right, like adding value for a long period of time waiting for the reward, you also get one of the kingdom.

Piece that you get is an eternal mindset, yes, right, where you're working not just for this life, but you're working into the next.

And this goes back to what I said in the beginning with the purpose.

Right, if you're doing the right thing, even if you've failed at it, you know you're doing what you're supposed to be doing.

Well.

When you have an eternal mindset, you also know that I'm not just throwing up treasures.

For this life.

I'm going into the next life as well.

What I want to hear I'm doing everything I'm doing is because what I want to hear God say to me is well done, good and faithful servant.

That's an eternal mindset.

I'm not waiting to die and God say, great job.

You amassed a lot of cash Rright, Like God is the creator of cash.

He's the creator of everything of value that we know.

God can make whatever he wants to make.

Everything that I will do is tiny to God.

Accept right, Really think about this, Okay, God doesn't get a crap about money.

He made it all.

But think about the fact that you can actually do something.

That God finds valuable.

Yeah, all of the money in the world God finds worthless.

He made all of it.

But think about this.

You can do something that God finds valuable.

And what does God find valuable?

Your development, your growth, your maturity.

You're becoming more like him on this side of eternity.

God actually looks at that and sees value in it.

The author of the universe sees value in something that you do.

And what allows you to do that is having an eternal mindset where you're looking into the next life and say, everything that I'm doing here is for what's next.

Yeah, it'll give you a And when you can do that, it allows you to get one of the great multipliers in the winning formula, which is patience.

Right, Yeah, that's so good.

By the way, Kingdom episode was episode one oh eight.

I just agreed.

I need to go.

I want to listen to that episode.

Of This Good Thing that's available for you on Spotify and have a podcast and everywhere podcasts are played, but yeah, you can go listen to that one.

I just want to make sure people have the reference of that.

What I love about time, Gee, I was thinking about the winning formula as we're doing this.

I said this when we were prepping.

Time is a moral in the sense that like the more the more it multiplies what you have, which can be both good or bad.

Because I think about this in marriages.

If you've been married for twenty years and you've been doing things wrong, you're not going to fix it in like five months, or it might even be you know, not even maybe five years.

I don't know what the timeframe is.

Whereas if you start off and you've caught yourself early on, great, you know what I mean, Like you can reverse the cycle.

And we all understand that in something like a picture like relationships, or like in health for example, if you've gotten really overweight because you've been eating badly your whole life, it's going to take you longer to fix it.

There's a great proverb says the best time to planet a tree was forty years ago.

Right, The second best time is now boom.

Get on the right side of time.

Make time work for you.

Yeah, right, And that's when you've been consistent for a long time.

The more you do the right things, the more patient you become.

Yeah.

Because when you know you're following principles, when you know you've got the the right plan, when you've got the right execution, when your heart is aligned, when your mind is aligned, when your actions are aligned for you, try to get alignment right in all these other areas.

Get aligned in yourself properly, like make sure your words and your actions line up.

When you start doing all of those things.

You look at time like and you're just watching that change change to change the chain as each second on the clock goes up when you're doing the right thing.

When you're not doing the right thing, as time is ticking on, you feel like time is eating away your life.

When you're living on purpose, you see like every second of the clock you see as winning.

You're scoring points with every second when you know you're doing the right thing.

So I'm not going to end today on getting you excited, on getting you hyped up, on getting you motivated.

What I am going to end today is reminding you because most of the time we talk about mindset.

Today we weren't talking about mindset.

We're talking about math, and I just want to remind you right.

It's the power of principles.

When you do the right things in the right order, and you do them consistently, you will get right results in life.
