6 Steps To Change with Motivational Speaker Julian Mather
Why are we never taught life’s really important lessons?
💜 Finding love. 💵 Basic finances. 🔸How to change.
Think about it. Were you ever taught how to change? I wasn’t.
But without realising it, I became good at it.
My change resume (so far):
- unfocused kid to army sniper
- dreaming of photojournalism to winning national awards
- fumbling card tricks to professional magician
- never swinging a hammer to building a home
- high school dropout to published author
- business illiterate to building & selling a business
- stutterer to keynote speaker
How did I make these transformations?
5 years ago if you had asked me I would have bumbled my way through an incomplete and unsatisfying answer.
That was 5 years ago. Over the past 1982 days, I’ve knuckled down and reflected on my own experiences and those of all the people I have personally met like Sir Edmund Hillary, Elon Musk, inmates on death row and space shuttle pilots.
These are the 6 steps I follow every time I make a fresh start.
1. DECIDE
Change is not a process, it’s a decision. If I don’t want to, you can’t make me. If I’ve decided to, you can’t stop me.
2. PAUSE
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person. Don’t rush to the action steps. Get better at slow motion risk-taking.
3. LEARN UNLEARN RELEARN
What I know got me this far, what don’t I know? The people you aspire to work for or with, what do they know? Relentlessly, imperfectly learn that.
4. UPDATE OUT-OF-DATE STORIES
Swimming and tennis greats have coaches. Why not me? It’s not weak, it’s smart to get outside help to see beyond your blind spots.
5. GO PUBLIC
Getting to do the big things I want to do means doing lots of small things I don’t want to do. I get comfortable living with a daily dose of mild discomfort.
6. MANAGE EXPECTATIONS
The summit is not the top. It’s only halfway. And what we do after the summit is even more important than what we did before.
