Morning, good morning family. I'm not sure what time of day it is for you in the world
but it is great once again to have you checking in and joining us on this amazing adventure.
We're getting right to the close of this whole adventure. This is template number 7 and it's
part 2 on template number 7, the review. Now I've got some exciting stories for you and
I think that you're going to get huge value from this session on the review part 2. And
as always if you're watching us live or if you're joining on the delayed version it is
amazing to have you with us. So feel free to hit the like button, just say hey you're
watching it and I always love sharing the journey with you and going through the process
with you. So welcome, it's great to be here this morning. This morning is kind of, I don't
know what time it is for you right now when you're watching this, but right now it is
3.23am, 3.23am. So I kind of woke up real early this morning. I woke up a couple of
hours before my alarm, which is pretty early. But I was just kind of lying in bed, I was
like mate I'm going to get into the day. I'm excited about today. This extra couple of
hours is going to be pretty awesome for me. I'm going to get a lot done and I'm really
excited about that. I wake up pretty excited every day and the review is an amazing, amazing
time. I just want to really encourage you right now and you've made it to this part
of the review and like I said in the last video, the review is one of the most understated
but powerful templates. It's not very glamorous, it's not an extravagant template, it doesn't
have real brand new ideas but the power of the basics, the power of the basics are often
the most profound and life impacting things and I tell you what, if we can do the basics
well we set ourselves up to accomplish the impossible or the seemingly impossible. So
let me start with a story, you're going to love this story, in one sense you're going
to love it. It's a bit of a crazy story but it took place in 1989 at 5.04pm. So it's 5
o'clock in the afternoon, it's 1989 and there's a World Series Baseball game about to take
place between the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants at Candlestick Park in
San Francisco. So it's all on, everyone's turned out there, everyone's thinking this
is going to be a massive, massive weekend and so if you're a business owner and you're
in that part of San Francisco, you're pumped because this is going to be one of your best
weekends for business in the year. It might even be one of the best weekends of business
for years. This is a massive event, you're going to be like yeah, at the end of this
weekend we should be turning over $20,000 or whatever your metrics are going to be,
whatever your goals are, you're thinking man this is going to be a massive weekend and
it's awesome. I just shared in the post, in the text in the post, I put in there a quote
from Mike Tyson which is, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face, which is
a response that Mike Tyson had when he was asked a question in, when was it, just in 1996,
Mike Tyson fought Evander Holyfield and the odds were 15 to 2 in favor of Mike Tyson. So
everyone thought man, Mike Tyson's going to crush this dude Evander Holyfield. Now,
you know, Evander Holyfield has slightly, you know, he's quite, he's a bit bigger but everyone
was like nah, Tyson will crush him and so they said, you know, Tyson are you, are you concerned
about Evander Holyfield's, are you concerned about his plan, his strategy for this, for this
fight and Mike Tyson's response was everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.
Actually, Evander Holyfield ended up having two significant things happen there. One,
he got his ear bitten off by Mike Tyson in that fight. Two, he became the new heavyweight champion.
of the world in the boxing and that's a really interesting concept that
everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth and sometimes life
is like that sometimes life punches you in the mouth and your plan that you had
boom it just gets blown out of the water and you're like oh my gosh all these
life circumstances start taking place that are out of your control so a little
bit of a similar story in one sense in 1989 there they are about to play the
World Series baseball game everyone's pumped it's all on the city is electric
business owners are excited for this fans are excited players are excited
coaches teams supporters everyone's buzzing and then at 5 o 4 p.m. something
happened that hadn't happened in history before is what was known as the Loma
Prieta earthquake which was a 6.9 magnitude earthquake on the Richter
scale broke out it was the first time an earthquake had been captured on live TV
so this everything goes into absolute chaos the whole city gets turned on its
head everyone's plans gets get absolutely turned on their heads I'm
sure people had strategic plans they had business plans they had life plans they
had game plans well all of those plans changed when the earthquake hit American
President Dwight Eisenhower had a quote he said plans are worthless but planning
is everything he said plans are worthless but planning is everything and
so planning really really is essential it's critical leaves you focused it gets
you set up for success it gets your goals in place it gets you putting in
place metrics for what winning looks like now this is so so important in the
goal-setting process and in the review these things become it's like there's a
synergy hits in the review time where our goals and our metrics become really
critical and our strategy becomes really critical and our priorities become
really critical our motivation becomes really critical and we kind of they all
kind of fuse together in this review moment where we say okay are we hitting
our metrics right now is our strategy working right now and do we still want
this right now is this still a priority in our lives right now and you know
sometimes when you get that punch in the face so you have that earthquake moment
your priority and life changes now I've had that same thing happen for me I
haven't been punched in the face I haven't had an earthquake but I have had
radical priority change in my world from exactly what I thought this year was
going to look like I've had some massive opportunities I've had some God moments
that have re-prioritized my very very clear cunning strategic plan I've got a
very very precision plan on the wall behind me that has been railroaded in
one sense and it was an amazing plan and the planning was awesome putting in
place but plans are worthless and planning is everything especially if
your plan was to sell 10,000 hot dogs over the weekend at the World Series
baseball game because all of a sudden now your priority is not selling 10,000
hot dogs your plan now your priority now is survival and if you don't adjust with
the season when the seasons change you could find that if you aren't dynamic
and shifting with where your season's shifting it could cost you everything so
we've got to be dynamic in this review process we've got to go okay right are
we hitting our metrics if not why not we're not hitting our metrics of 10,000
hot dogs being sold this weekend why not why not because there was an early
earthquake and my shop is on fire and if I stay in the shop I'm gonna get
burnt alive and it's like okay Wow Wow massive priority shift right there okay
so all of a sudden survival took center stage for everyone there was 63 deaths
in the Loma Prieta earthquake there were 3,757 injuries over 8,000 people became
homeless and the damages were around 5.6 to 6 billion dollars worth of damages
now you've got a shift with the times you've got to be dynamic otherwise your
plan that was going to set you up for success could literally be the death of
you so in that review time boom we just go okay right am I hitting my metrics
and what are your metrics gonna be you know your metrics
about your achievements, your accomplishments. What did you want to
accomplish? How much did you want to accomplish? How quickly did you want to
accomplish it? You know, how much cost did you want to be involved in the process?
And what did you really want the end result to look like? Now if you, you
could have had a really good plan over that weekend for the World Series of
we're gonna sell 10,000 hot dogs, but all of a sudden that's not important
anymore because a greater priority came in place which was survival. It's like, oh
my gosh I've got to survive, I've got to check my family, I'm gonna check my house,
I'm gonna check my dog, I've got to somehow get across the city, which is now
there's gas fires exploding all over the city, there's roads turned up, there's
bridges damaged, there's chaos everywhere. I've got to see, I've got to
attend to my family. Are they safe? Are they alive? Are they okay? So priorities can
change. Maybe not as drastic as a punch in the mouth, maybe not as drastic as a
as an earthquake, but one deal going wrong, one thing in the wrong place. I
recently heard a story about a family business that had been running for over
a hundred years in England and it was something like the, well just, I can't
remember the exact name of the business, but it's something like the Stewart
Family Corp, right, and then a another company which had almost the same name
went bankrupt. We'll say the other one was like the Stewart Family and it was
just a matter of like one word or a few letters that they got wrong and this
clerk in the government and this clerk in the government filed it and boom, they
filed that little bankruptcy letter, you know, they published it with that note in
it but they published the wrong company and then that company which was over a
hundred year old family company which had massive contracts with the
government, massive contracts with the defense, the defense unit of the
government, all of a sudden everyone is seeing, oh my gosh, they've gone bankrupt
and they're canceling their contracts all over the place. So the the guy, you
know, the family man who owns the business, he's on holiday and then he
starts getting all these letters about people going, hey you've gone bankrupt.
He's like what, what happened? And it was one guy filed a few letters wrong and
boom, blew out their company. They managed to sue the government but they never
recovered the huge losses that they took. So in one sense that one dude who made
one mistake caused nearly everything to collapse for over a
hundred year old really solid multi-million dollar family business. So
crazy things can happen. What are you going to do if that happens? And this is
where the review is so so important because when those crazy life events
happen, they shake our focus and our focus comes off our metrics of what
winning looks like and they go on to survival. And I think this happens to us
a lot as we lose focus of what winning really really looks like for us in life.
We get into survival mode. Now it's okay to go into survival mode for a moment,
make sure if that earthquake hits, boom, make sure you're safe, make sure your
family's safe, make sure your dog is safe, check your house, get everything in line
with your survival but then come back to the review, come back to what does
winning really look like and you might find that okay I'm
actually not winning right now because I've been so focused on survival and
taking care of these immediate priorities that I've actually gotten, I've
lost my focus in life and I've come a long way away from where I wanted to be,
I've come a long way away from what winning looks like. So the strategy that
I've got a survival right now and really needs to change, I need to change my
strategy up and get it back on point to what winning looks like. And in the
review you'll go okay well with all the changes and seasons is this still, are
these metrics still accurate? Is this still what winning looks like? Is this
still what I want to accomplish? Do I still want to
accomplish this much of that? Do I still want to accomplish it this quickly? Do I
still want to accomplish it for this price? Is this still the end result of
what winning looks like? So when you jump into that review it's going to help you
ground everything, it's going to help you ask, you know check your motivations as
well, like oh do you still want this? Are you still fighting for this?
Is this still a priority? And in the review that's when you can
assess for your own situation, your own life, boom yes these are my metrics, yes
this is my motivation, this is what I really want and yes this is the
strategy that I need to put in place right now, this is how I need to adjust
my strategy with this change in dynamic. So you can adjust your
strategy, you can reset, you can reprioritize, you can get your
motivation right, get your priorities right, you can readjust your metrics if
you need to in the review and then boom you can
launch out again, totally refocused.
And I think this is one of the big things that people miss out on in life without having
a regular review.
If you don't have a regular review, you risk being punched in the mouth metaphorically
by life.
You risk going through a metaphorical earthquake in life.
Or for a lot of our friends in Christchurch as well, they literally had earthquakes, so
many earthquakes, and they have rearranged their lives and changed the priorities.
So have you had those big life-changing chaos moments where everything has to go focused
on survival?
If you have, then it's even more important to do a really, really good review because
otherwise we can get lost in survival, and if we get lost in survival, we lose our focus,
we lose our edge, we lose our picture of what winning looks like, we lose our focus
on our priorities, and then we can lose our motivation, and then we can end up having
a bad strategy.
We can just be having an average strategy when really we can end up starting engaging
in random activities and just random stuff and fill our schedules with random things
and coping mechanisms and survival things, and just like, oh, we can get bogged down
with all these unnecessaries when we know that random actions betray our dreams, and
we know that we need to take precision actions with precision timing for precision results.
So boom, guys, enjoy the review template, shoot out if you've got any questions, and
I'm excited about this.
And hey, even when you've been through all the templates, I'm going to be providing regular
reviews, okay?
And so in the Systems for Success family, in this group, you don't just get a one-off
gig, you know, you've got access to these templates for life, and as long as I'm running
Systems for Success, you've got access to this Facebook group, and you've got access
