The Playbook With David Meltzer

Perform a self-evaluation.Think about how much time per day you are committed to the pursuit of your potential. Are you consistent? Are you persistent? Do you need to improve in these areas?Consistency is a massively important because it allows you to focus on what you want. Focusing on a goal and working toward it every day allows you to utilize the power of intention. That focus yields exponential growth and results.You need to do something every day in order to be great at it. Meditate, use gratitude, practice a skill, work on a relationship, tell somebody that you love and appreciate them. Each of those activities can take as little as 30 seconds a day, if you are efficient, and make a resounding impact in your life.(Consistent) drive for doughMy favorite example to use when it comes to consistency is golf. If you play golf 30 minutes every single day, you'll be far better than someone who plays one of two rounds on the weekends. In fact, people who play six hours on the weekend are often worse after one year compared to those who consistently practice.There are many examples of this in sports, people who push on despite being told "no" again and again. They stick to their guns, whether it be during one game, one season or an entire career, and it pays off in the end.Persistence in business:These same principles hold true for all of the successful entrepreneurs we've come to know.Individuals like Walt Disney and Henry Ford all had lived in the consistent, persistent enjoyment of the pursuit of their potential, pushing past the many difficulties they faced.You will always run into obstacles, voids and shortages along the way. Sticking to your goals every single day will allow you to increase your enjoyment of that pursuit.In order to reach your potential, it is essential to be consistent and persistent in the enjoyment of the pursuit of it.

Whether you have nothing or a 40-million-dollar home in Newport Beach, there will always be people who live as if there’s not enough.Then there’s the world of “just enough.” That world blends scarcity with abundance.Even people who are generous will trade rather than give—they’ll give, but they will always expect something in return.The world I’m trying to manifest is a world of “more than enough,” where people are living in truth and consciousness.I have five different rules for businesses looking to live in this world of more than enough:1 - Know your personal giving and receiving values. Evaluate those four things every day.2 - Learn to ask a series of questions to learn how you can provide value to every person in every situation.3 - Learn a series of questions with which you can ask for help—which is the most difficult and radically humble thing. I lost over $100 million by not asking for help, and my world changed when I learned how to ask the right questions.4 - Study with a lens of productivity, accessibility, and gratitude what you are doing every day. Study your sleep. Study your calendar and figure out what’s urgent, and what you can delegate to someone else.5 - Practice ending fear. When you feel like you’re on fire, stop, drop, and roll. Figure out why you feel that way.When we do these things, we’re more successful and happier.
