The elite performers look at time and use time completely differently than the people who perform at an average level. I'm gonna tell you right now, either you're going to control your time or your time's gonna control you. Either you are gonna dictate the terms of your life or you're gonna be somebody who reacts and responds throughout their life. When you wake up in the morning, the greatest thing you could do for yourself is not. Let's talk about time today, and how to bend it, how to manipulate it, and how to use it to your advantage. Let me tell you one thing I've noticed about about all the max out performers that I've interviewed on my program and that I've known throughout my life for the last 30 years really in business, sports, entertainment, politics, you name it. The elite performers look at time and use time completely differently than the people who perform at an average level, and so I wanna talk to you about some tips and strategies today to begin to think about time and utilize time differently. So let's start out.

The first thing I wanna tell you about people who win, who max out, they are in a much bigger hurry than the people who are average, and I'm not kidding you when I say this. They're in a bigger hurry to get to their destination, to get to their outcome. Their pace is faster. They walk faster. They talk faster, and their expectation when they're gonna arrive at their destination is sooner. This may seem like a very small subtle thing, but I want you to evaluate, how big of a hurry are you in? Because there's something to be said about how close you think you are to a goal and how fast you will run to get to the finish line. Let me give you an example of that. If you and I started out right now, and we had a 26 mile marathon to run.

Right? In our minds, it was 26 miles, and we were gonna race each other. We would pace ourselves at a certain speed in order to maintain that speed because of the duration of the run. So, if it was a marathon, we'd jog, wouldn't we, pretty slowly? You certainly wouldn't sprint 26 miles. And so, because the destination, because the finish line is so far away, our pace or our hurry is limited based on how far away we think we are or when we'll arrive there. But if you and I were to run a 100 yard dash, would the pace be the same? Because the finish line is so much closer, we'd run full speed from the minute we took off, wouldn't we? Because of the proximity lack of vision always that means that you are going to See, it's not a lack of vision always that means that you are going to lose. It's a lack of a type of vision, which is depth perception. You think you're further away from the outcome, and so you pace yourself like it, and you jog all the time throughout your life. The people that win may have a bigger vision, but they have accurate depth perception.

They understand how close their goals are, how close their outcome is, and they're constantly in a sprint to get there throughout their day. That means, consequently, they get started earlier, and they finish later. They get up earlier. Throughout the day, they're in a bigger hurry to get to the places they need to be because the finish line in their mind is so much closer. I cannot emphasize this enough to you is just the pace and the way time shrinks for elite performers compared to the average. I'm telling you, the average performer can say the same things, read the same books, have the same schedule, yet the person who is in a bigger hurry throughout the day ends up winning the day, winning the week, winning the month, winning the year, and winning the life. And so please evaluate your pace. You should be in a so much bigger hurry than everybody around you.

You almost have people telling you to slow down a little bit. So, that's number 1, is you've got to be in a bigger hurry. The second thing is the way we begin our day. I'm gonna tell you right now. Either you're going to control your time, or your time's gonna control you. Either you are gonna dictate the terms of your life, or you're gonna be somebody who reacts and responds throughout their life. This device right here can both speed up time in your life, or it can slow it down. It's not always a speed tool.

So one of the tips that I've covered before, but not enough people implement that I promise you is a quality of max outperformers that relates to their time is they control it. They do not react and respond. They dictate the terms of their life most of the time, and that means this. When you wake up in the morning, the greatest thing you could do for yourself is not touch or look at this device for 30 minutes to an hour after awakening, so that when you wake up, you take control of your time, you control the time, you control the beginning of the day, you get clear, you meditate, you pray, you stretch, you think, you go through a gratitude exercise, you control the first 30 minutes of your day. It sets a tone that I'm in charge of my time, not what enters this. If the first thing you do is grab this, this now dictates the term of your day. This controls my day. What hits this, what email, what text, what call hits this, what Instagram post hit this, this controls me.
