246. Unbreakable Leadership Training Explained

Owning what goes on inside of you and how you filter and process the world.

Internal dialogue drives every single action you do and every single decision you make even while sleeping.

Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): the Design of Human Performance

Unbreakable Leadership Training is the blueprint for results in the Five Pyramids of Human Performance®.  Our training is designed around a process formula and step-by-step methodology of linear progression ... there is no other way to take complete ownership of your life.  To achieve these five results, we find it necessary to demonstrate Five “Unbreakable Tools”:  Focused Effort, Emotional Mastery, Fail to Succeed, Inspired Mentorship, and Disruption and Innovation.  While linear progression is needed, the underlying cause of greatness in every human being anywhere is to first master the two foundational principles:

  Honor your word Never giving up on honoring your word

Without the two foundational principles being deeply mastered and constantly applied the climb toward rapid and sustainable growth is doomed.  We will test these two aspects of human performance upfront and teach you to master them first.

We are going to achieve Five Measurable Goals together.  Goals that are built on Honor Your Word and Never Giving Up.

  

THE UNBREAKABLE LEADERSHIP SOLUTION:

Operating at 20% efficiency and capacity is both tiresome and emotionally draining.  Being out of sequence will leave you plateaued and unaware of your ultimate potential.  Not pursuing your ultimate potential every day will cause you to be unhealthy, stagnant, scarce, alone, and disconnected.  Our training will teach you to do three simple things every day in the five pyramids of performance® in order to operate at 100% capacity.

242. No more tomorrows

What would you do if you only had one day left?   Many of us think we have time. More time. Perhaps we are taught to put of today what matters because tomorrow May happen.   Do we have more time?   If you take time away, as a factor what would life be like? What would your today become?   Some how progress and upward mobile and a middle class, comfortable lifestyle seems to lead many of us to lazy.   Lazy is thinking today doesn’t matter, the more times our parents don’t wake us up the more that notion is reinforced. The snooze button is used by lazy minds who think now downs matter.   What would you do today if tomorrow wasn’t happening?   Would you dress the way you do?   Would you go to school, work?   I have asked so many people that question I now realize few are programmed to even think outside of the lazy comfortable life at all costs existence.   If you asked a cancer patient if you had one day to life what would you do or become. Now those answers are unique… I would make love until my heart exploded. I would go run that hill that used to scare me. I would tell my patents I am sorry or I love them I would forgive my daughter I would go for it I would go for a walk I would want to be with family   The list from the dying was real.   But they don’t have the strength anymore or the capacity to.   So I ask you what would you do now if you had no more tomorrows?   I can tell you that 10 percent of the people alive don’t live as if tomorrow is for sure or even a factor.   When you are operating as a SEAL tomorrow doesn’t matter. Today matters. And today there is so much to do that you can do.   Successful people, meaning the ones who earned their success and didn’t steel it or take it through tax money or politics live like tomorrow isn’t of concern.   Winners go for it. Not that they think they will always win but they are not willing to not go for it.   What will Change for you win you go for it? What is holding you back for this moment going all in and risking your life for the best version of your life?   Finding out who you are is the first step. Without you realizing you are an amazing human only limited by you alone, then you are just shit.   Put a goal on paper that scares the living shit out of you. It should literally make your hands shake to write it down.   There are four skills your will need to live now: Hyper focus and the off or rest button. If you do things half asses or just hammer without taking a break you have already failed Learn to embrace discomfort and problems but letting go of your emotional reactions to them. You should be ok with every issue you face and solve each one. Fail to succeed. Practice until you fail. Learn then practice until you fail again. Repeat until you arrive The forth is you need to mentor other people to support their growth not your growth. The more people your help grow the more skills you acquire   You need 3 people in your life who are committed to your goal. One to help with offensive actions, one to help with defense actions, and one to support the overall vision of the future you are creating   Then you need to execute 3 simple Things the partners support. And you cannot take a day off of these simple actions   If you ever ask yourself why then answer that question with because I am my word and I keep my promises or I die

241. The 6 leadership Traits

The Two branches of Trait Alignment

 

In each of us we carry 6 primary traits that when exhibited determine what we say, do and cause in the world around us.  The 6 traits are separated into two branches that further align our thoughts and actions. 

 

Your ability to know which trait is needed for various times and conditions in life will pre-determine the outcome and your ability to place the right trait into the right position in your family, you work, or on a team will also pre-determine the outcome you desire.

 

Not knowing the traits will cause you to faulter; cause business to die, and cause family to fall apart.
