A transcript from Brad's talk is here:
Well, listen, I am the UK's number one motivational business speaker. And people say Brad, how did you become the UK's number one motivational business speaker? I just made a website, saying I’m the UK’s number one motivational speaker.
And sometimes the first person you've got to convince of your brilliance is you. The reason that we refer to Muhammad Ali as the greatest of all time 40 years on, is because he referred to himself.
And ask yourself this question- does what I'm doing move the needle? Does it move me, does it move the business forward? And if it doesn't, why are you doing it?
There's a reason that racehorses wear blinkers and while you are focused on wasting your energy, looking at what other people are doing, you are missing your own game.
Focus on you. Spend the energy on you.
Because in order for you to be who you want to be, you're going to have to let go of who you once were.
And that's tough. That person that you want to become, what's stopping you becoming that person? You. You’re the one stopping you. This invisible rope. And I’m going to give you the tools today to cut here.
I want you to think about your brain right now. Like a hard drive. And it is a hard drive- I’m wiping it- everything that you've ever learned before- gone.
And I want you to do is this- Always have a positive mindset, Correct decisions, clear direction, and high confidence. And this system here will change everything. Because where you end up in your life is a direct result of your decisions.
It'd be lovely to blame your dad locking you in a coal shed when you were seven, but it's down to you.
There's a fundamental flip in your brain that you can make. When you find yourself doing this- Stop it.
I just have a question. What does this achieve? Does this let me fix the problem? No. It keeps you where you are. This is a tiny little change. What could I do to start winning? And go and do that consistently. Everything that you want is there.
But we don't think it is- we think it's around the next corner, and you get around the next corner- ah it’s round the next one the next one. Next one. Next one.
And then those minutes become days. Those days become weeks. Those weeks become months. Those years become a life. And we die.
Whatever is going on in your world is done. I'm sorry for what happened.
I am sorry for what happened. But we can't do anything about it. No one's going to come save you.
There's no cavalry. There's no secret weapon here, where you can spend the money and go and get some amazing business out of it- It doesn't work like that.
So you need to make the decisions that you need to make in your life. All you can do boys and girls, Accountex, is press play on today.
