episode 32: What Does Doing Your Best Mean
In this episode John and Kelly talk about the concept of doing your best. In this episode you learn that when John was 40 years old, he started focusing on doing his best because he saw that was the only thing he really controlled. But his understanding of doing his best was simply getting up early each day – 5:30 AM. But once he got into his 50s, his understanding of doing his best greatly expanded. To essentially five things. Effort (getting up early), continually growing and learning consistently each week in an area that was strategic relative to what he wanted to accomplish. Also defining the two or three things that move the needle. Also being self-aware. And the fifth one was tuning into reality – what is reality telling him. What a difference in results John saw by having that expanded understanding of what doing his best really meant. As Kelly dove into this topic, at about the age of 40 she became more focused on defining what doing her best meant. For her, it came down to establishing immense clarity. Exactly the person she wanted to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how she was going to achieve your clearly defined goals. So clarity was the key to doing her best. At the end of the podcast John explains how to apply the concept of doing one’s best to the think it be a 12 minute day technique. In your template, you simply define what doing your best is. When you read that each day, it gets wired in your autopilot.
About the Hosts:
John Mitchell
John’s story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there’s a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.
When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.
His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.
John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.
