At the heart of lasting achievement lies the deceptively simple yet profound act of showing up—day after day, regardless of circumstance. On Day Six of the 365 Day Consistency Project, we dive deep into the productivity principles that transform scattered efforts into meaningful progress.
We explore Brian Tracy's powerful book "Eat That Frog," unpacking strategies that revolutionize daily productivity. The concept is brilliantly straightforward: identify your biggest, ugliest, most difficult task—your "frog"—and tackle it first thing each day. By confronting what you're most likely to procrastinate on, you create unstoppable momentum while simultaneously addressing your highest-value activities.
The 6P formula (Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance) serves as our productivity compass, revealing how just 10-12 minutes of intentional planning saves up to two hours of execution time. Even more striking is the 80-20 rule—the Pareto Principle—which teaches us that 20% of our activities yield 80% of our results. By identifying and prioritizing these high-impact tasks, we stop spinning our wheels on busy work that feels productive but doesn't move us toward our most important goals.
Throughout the episode, I weave my personal journey from "Hood2Hooded"—from growing up in an underserved community without familial college experience to becoming a practicing dentist. This path illustrates how long-term vision shapes daily decisions, even without having a clear roadmap provided by those who came before us.
The most profound revelation? Creativity requires courage—the courage to show up consistently, to be authentic, to start from zero, and to work through difficulties. While many merely consume content, true growth comes from having the bravery to create, to contribute, to put yourself out there consistently.
Ready to transform your life through the power of showing up? Join the Consistency Project and discover what you can achieve when you commit to daily action on what matters most.
Thanks for listening and growing with me on this journey towards the ultimate level of success. #Hood2hooded #drshon #drshonconsistencyproject #consistencyproject

Dr. Shon (00:00):
welcome to the broadcast.
Guys, this is day six of theconsistency project.
Oh, day six of the consistencyproject.
How y'all feeling today?
And listen, baby, listen,streaming consistently.
You gotta really want us reallywant it, and this is something
(00:21):
I really want.
This is the first week of mebeing consistent on twitch, so
hello to everybody in twitchworld.
We are on day six of dr sean's365 day consistency project.
Boo-boo, and what is theconsistency project?
This is just 365 days of meshowing up on twitch for one
(00:42):
hour.
Hey, baby, yes, every day wegrow.
Every day, Dr.
Shon and my community, we aregrowing, regardless if I haven't
met you yet and you don't evenknow I'm on here, you're gonna
grow when you finally meet me,if you watch this on the replay
in the future, because that'swhat manifesting and speaking
things into existence is allabout.
(01:05):
When you got something that youwant to do, you don't have no
excuses.
You just go and get the skill.
Baby, you want to be something,go do it, don't complain, just
do it.
And I know that this issomething that I was lacking, so
I said let me do the 365 dayconsistency project.
Yesterday, we started reviewingthe book eat that frog.
(01:26):
We started reviewing the bookeat that frog by brian tracy,
and if it's one thing that wewant to develop during this 365
day consistency project is thelack of procrastination.
I'm still pushing the CDPformula, which is consistency
plus discipline minusprocrastination equals a glow up
(01:48):
, and that's my formula that Icreated when I created this
challenge.
Now, if you don't know, you canjoin me on this challenge.
You can make this your day oneand just commit to doing
something for 365 days.
So for me, it's just showing upon Twitch, just showing up.
We are reviewing chapter twotoday and chapter three, and
(02:08):
maybe enough for this broadcast,so let's dive in Chapter two.
He talked about planning everyday in advance, just something
that really helps your lifeprogress.
It's the ability to make goodplans before you act is a
measure of your competence.
I have a podcast, the Hood toHooded podcast.
(02:29):
I'm all about, especially now,helping young adults not drop
out of school or just pursuesomething that you really love.
That's going to increase yourquality of life.
Planning your day in advance isalways good, for any age, for
any person, just to know whatyou're going to do the next day.
This is going to increase yourreturn of energy because you're
going to be investing physical,mental and emotional energy and
(02:53):
when you plan, one minute ofplanning is worth 10 minutes of
execution, did you guys hear me?
So every minute that you plansaves you 10 minutes of
execution, and it takes 10 to 12minutes to plan your day.
This is going to save you twohours of time.
This wasted, diffuse effortthroughout the day and, as a
(03:13):
dental practice online, this isgoing to help me, like this one
tip is going to help me.
Even though I kind of plan myday, I kind of got out of that
routine of planning the daybecause the days are going so
fast.
I was like where's the time?
Because the days are going sofast, I was like where the time
going?
The time going too fast for me?
It just needs to slow down.
But time isn't slowing down.
You don't have enough time todo everything on your list, so
you have to prioritize what youwant to do.
(03:35):
So I'm eating the frog.
That means tackling the biggest, ugliest, largest task that I
have to do first and justgetting it done, and that's
important as a dentist and as adoctor.
Remember that planning for oneminute of planning is saves you
10 minutes of execution.
So this is going to save youabout two hours a day of wasted
(03:56):
time just trying to figure out,dang, what I'm gonna do today,
what is my plan today.
You become so stagnant, youknow, and let's do one thing and
we're gonna get right back toit.
Guys, he goes in and talk aboutthe 6p formula.
Now I have talked about thisformula before because we talk
about this formula in dentalschool.
(04:17):
It's kind of like a littleknown thing that proper planning
is the 6p formula, 6psps.
Proper planning prevents poorperformance.
I would like to add another Pand then make it a 7P formula.
Proper planning prevents piss,poor performance.
If you don't plan, get a pen anda paper, then you risk the
chance of performing poorly.
(04:39):
You risk the chance of beingunprepared.
You risk the chance of justwasting your time.
It's going to save you twoextra hours per day.
So always work from a list andadd new tasks to your list.
This will increase yourproductivity by 25%.
I want to be 25% moreproductive.
So two hours.
So if you plan for 10 to 12minutes per day, this is going
(05:02):
to save you two hours ofexecution time and it's also
going to increase yourproductivity by 25 percent.
I need that two hours, so wewant to make our plans the night
before so that way oursubconscious mind works on that
plan while we are sleeping andthis allows your brain to kind
(05:23):
of know what you're going to dotomorrow and help you do it
faster.
It can help you do it faster soyou wake up with new ideas to
get the job done faster.
It increases your effectivenessand your efficiency.
Okay, and have different listsfor different purposes.
Your master list that you haveshould have all the things that
you need to get done, and thenyou want to have a monthly list.
(05:45):
So what are you?
What are some things that youhave to do this month?
Then you have a weekly list anda daily list.
Okay, so at the end of themonth you want to say, hey,
these are the things I want toget done next month, break it
down into the week and thenbreak it down into a daily task.
I was more a fan of planning anddoing the 6p formula while in
(06:08):
dental school.
A little bit after dentalschool, I started reading all
the self-help stuff, but then Ifell off a little bit, opening
up this dental practice when Ishould have had more of this
stuff.
I kind of fell off because thetasks were everywhere.
I have so much on my masterlist that I became unorganized.
I became a hot a** mess webeing honest here, right, I
(06:30):
became a hot a** mess, right.
So I said let me reel it backin.
Let's reel it back in.
Let's not get too lost in thesauce, let's not let life
overtake us and let's not allowall the things that we have to
do to cause us to stress, getdepressed, get anxiety, and that
way we don't do s***.
When you don't plan, you can'tdo anything.
(06:50):
A lot of times you executenothing because you have too
much on your plate.
So before you try to eateverything on your plate, eat
the biggest frog first.
Deal with the hardest,difficult, most thing that will
make the biggest difference inyour life first.
So let's go over the 10-90 rule.
He talks about the 10-90 rule.
(07:12):
The first 10% of time you spendplanning and organizing your
work before you begin saves youas much as 90% of time in
getting the job done.
Once you get started, youbecome unstoppable.
Getting the job done once youget started, you become
unstoppable.
So if you take the first 10% ofyour time planning and
organizing, then you're going tosave 90% of time to get your
(07:34):
job done.
Do we see?
With this chapter he's mostlytalking about the importance of
planning at any age, especiallywhen you're younger.
I remember being a teenager,even trying to plan my future.
I remember being in high schoolsaying I want to be a doctor.
I have to plan to do this.
Even in high school you have tohave a plan.
Even in college you have tohave a plan.
(07:55):
As a streamer, you need a plan.
Any career, you need the skillof planning and all it takes is
10 to 12 minutes per day to planthe next day and make your list
and work from your list.
Look how much time we saving,guys, by just planning.
Moving right along to chapter 3,apply the 80 20 rule to
everything.
Now I have touched on the 80 20rule before.
(08:17):
If you don't know what the 8020 rule is, baby, today is the
day you got to wake up and knowthe 80-20 rule.
It's also called the ParetoPrinciple by an Italian
economist, vilfredo Pareto.
He first mentioned it in 1895,but this was just off for
observations of something thatwas naturally happening.
So it says 20% of your activitywill breed 80% of the results.
(08:43):
20% of your customers willrepresent 80% of the results.
20% of your customers willrepresent 80% of yourselves.
20% of your products willaccount for 80% of your profit.
20% of the tasks will equal 80%of the value.
So that means that if you havea list of 10 things on the 10
tasks to do, two of those taskswill be the most impactful and
(09:05):
even, furthermore, one of thosetasks might be worth more than
all of the tasks.
So with this book, eat that frog.
It just teaches you to eat thebiggest, ugliest frog first.
Do the hardest, most difficulttask first.
Don't save it to the end.
You're doing all these smalltasks every day, not really
amounting to anything, and thenyou end up not moving forward.
(09:26):
You have to do the big thingsthat matter first.
For instance, I'll use what Iwanted to get into dental school
.
We have to take this testcalled the dental admissions
test.
It has several subjects on it.
It has math, science,perceptual ability, organic
chemistry, regular chemistry,biology.
It has all of these differenttopics.
(09:47):
But because I knew my weaknessin college was organic chemistry
, because I had an F and then Igot a C and you can't have a C
so I went back and got a C yes,I know.
So I knew that on the dentaladmissions test, this would be
the main subject area that Iwould need to focus on, so I
focused most of my time on thatsubject.
(10:08):
I didn't really really waste iton the math or the other things
that I knew wouldn't accountfor much.
And this is how you have tothink with everything that you
do Always think about what isthe most important thing that I
can do to make a differencetoday and do that.
Don't do the little small stuff, stuff that can wait and we're
going to go into this a littlebit deeper.
(10:29):
So the one task that is goingto make the most difference is
often the one that is morecomplex and the hardest and that
one that you just avoid becauseyou just don't feel like doing
it.
It says before you begin, askthis question.
It says before you begin, askthis, ask this question, tasks
at your top 20 percent or at thebottom 80 percent.
(10:49):
If you prioritize your list andhe puts out this rule and I
definitely agree with this ruleis to resist the temptation to
clear up the small things first.
I have a tendency to try to dothe small because I'm like this
a little bit's going to bequicker, but it's not worth much
value when you're trying tomove the needle.
Now this chapter three is allabout time management.
(11:11):
Time management is a lifemanagement and taking control of
the sequence of events in yourlife.
When you learn to manage yourtime and I cannot stress that
enough chat, just manage yourtime, make your life better,
make your life easier.
Eat that frog.
So chapter four is saying toconsider the consequences of not
(11:32):
doing the most important thingfirst.
There's another rule Long-termthinking improves short-term
decision making.
Again, this goes back to mebeing in high school thinking
long term about what I want todo in my future.
I had to make some short termdecisions.
So if I know that in 10 to 15to 20 years which is how long it
(11:53):
took me to be a daughter I knowthat I need to make some short
term decisions.
I know that in high school Ineed to shadow.
I know that I need to docommunity service.
I know that I need to get goodgrades and show up for school
and not drop out.
I know that I need to docommunity service.
I know that I need to get goodgrades and show up for school
and not drop out.
I know that I need to apply tocollege.
And then in my senior year Ireally did know these things
because I'm coming from the hood.
(12:13):
None of my family really hadthat college experience.
I'm like a first generationalcollege student.
You don't have the knowledgefrom the family or from the
tribe to tell you, hey, there'ssome consequences to the
short-term decisions you'remaking.
So I was ahead of my time when Isaid, in order to be a doctor,
I need to move differently.
And I was in the InternationalBaccalaureate program at
(12:34):
Rickards High School inTallahassee, Florida, which is
like a college prep program, andin that program I saw all my
peers who were some of them, Iassume, were in a lot better
positions.
You see their parents showingup when I don't have my parents.
You see mom, dad, like.
You see these differences.
You see them preparing to taketests.
I'm like, well, I'd be takingthe test.
(12:55):
So that's how I found out theroadmap by just being in that
environment around otherstudents who were just doing it.
It wasn't like a parent saying,hey, we need to get you ready
to be a doctor.
It who were just doing it.
It wasn't like a parent saying,hey, we need to get you ready
to be a doctor.
It was none of that.
It was just me like, okay, well, I can do it too.
I'm in this program.
I got to be just smart.
So when I seen them applying,I'm like, wait, y'all applied to
college last summer.
(13:16):
They applied to college thesummer before me, before me, a
lot of my peers in that program.
They applied to college thesummer before I did.
So by the time they weregetting their admissions letters
, I'm like, well, dang, I didn'teven apply.
Listen, guys, the hood to hoodjourney was a hot mess.
I didn't even apply until latebecause I saw other people
applying and I was like, dang, Iwish I had applied when y'all
(13:37):
applied.
I want to go to Tampa with mybest friend.
I want to move out of town.
But that wasn't my story.
It wasn't time for me to move,because I was like a deer in the
head, like it's just trying tomake it out the struggle,
without knowing what the to do.
Which is why I wrote this bookhood to hood.
It dr sean's story.
(13:57):
That's why I wrote this book.
It's not out yet next year,baby.
That's why I wrote that book,because I know that a lot of
young adults don't have aroadmap.
When you come from underservedplaces, you don't have that
roadmap.
You don't have parents who havebeen in college and have the
experience to know what tests totake, how to take it, what to
(14:18):
do, when to do it, how to do it.
So this book just breaks down,like my journey even though I
didn't do it the traditional wayand there was a lot, I still
figured it out, regardless ofthe roadmap to create a roadmap
for other people who come fromenvironments that look like the
ones that I grew up in, and forkids who look like me, you know.
So in this chapter, when weconsider in the long term and
(14:41):
short term consequences of thedecisions you make today,
there's a rule Long termthinking improves short term
decision making.
And he says successful peoplehave clear future orientation
and I can 100% say that's one ofthe primary reasons why I went
from hood to hood.
It will be one of the primaryreasons why you go from wanting
(15:04):
to accomplish your goal andaccomplishing your goal.
It's the way you think aboutyour future.
Only you know what you want andhow you want your life to look
5, 10, 15, 20 years from now youwant to analyze the behaviors
that you're doing, the choicesthat you make right now, and
make sure they are aligning withthe future that you desire.
(15:25):
Then he says make betterdecisions on time.
Important things have long-termpotential consequences.
Unimportant things in your lifewon't have any consequences if
you don't do them.
We talked about making thatlist, the 80-20 rule, doing the
20% things that will make thebiggest difference.
(15:45):
Those things are complex, theymay be a little bit difficult,
but they will be important.
So remember to do the importantthings that will have long-term
potential consequences first.
Okay, do it first.
Another rule is future intentinfluence and often determine
present action.
But your future intent, likewhatever your goals are for the
(16:09):
future, will determine what youdo right now.
And then it says think aboutthe long term Successful people.
We delay gratification and wesacrifice Unsuccessful people.
They take short term pleasures,immediate gratification, and
they don't think about thefuture.
So this is a primary example ofwanting to achieve success but
(16:29):
having delayed gratification.
So delayed gratification meansyou're not getting that reward
right now.
You will get it later.
You are making a sacrifice justto accomplish something later,
greater later, which is the 365project making a sacrifice,
showing up here every day,despite who's in the room,
(16:49):
despite the things that I lack,despite the knowledge that I
don't know about this platform.
Just showing up things that areimportant to you would be
difficult.
You would have delayedgratification.
You know you're making thesacrifice just for something.
In the long term, and in orderto be motivated, you need motive
.
What is your motive for showingup?
(17:10):
He breaks down this from personA to person B.
So person A is going to show upto work earlier.
They're reading in their field,they're taking courses, they're
increasing their skills andfocus on high value tasks.
Person B is going to show up towork a little late.
They're reading newspaper,drinking coffee and socializing
all the time.
They're on Facebook juststrolling.
(17:30):
They're not on here trying togo live or figure out how to
make their life better, or howto figure out how to make their
job better, or learning how togrow their business, or learning
about different areas that canhelp their business making new
merch.
They're not doing none of that.
Which one are you?
Are you just wasting time?
Are you one of those people who, like you, know I'm motivated,
(17:51):
so I have a motive to get better?
I have a motive.
Time is going to pass anyway.
How you use it will determinewhere you end up at the end of
the weeks, the months and theyears.
Just think about that.
Time is going to pass.
We already know this.
This is the number onecommodity in the world.
It's not money, it's time.
You don't have a lot of time.
(18:12):
Time is passing.
I remember I did a reading Ithink they said we have, if you
were to live from the age of 16or 18 till you're like 90,
that's like 300 months.
I really put things that 300months.
What a lot of people don't evenlive that long.
So what are you doing in those300 months?
Because the time is ticking.
(18:33):
The time is ticking and how youpass your time will determine
how you end up at the end of theweek, at the end of the day and
at the end of the month.
So it says we want to obey thelaw of forced efficiency.
There is never enough time todo everything, but there is
always enough time to do themost important thing.
(18:53):
I love that we never haveenough time.
I have so many magazines that Isay that I plan to read later
and watch later on my YouTube.
You ain't going to have enoughtime to do all that.
You don't have enough time.
I feel like that is a big partof accomplishing your goals and
focusing on the long term.
Do the most important thingfirst.
(19:14):
We got that Okay, so deadlineis an excuse.
However much time you thinkabout a task will take at 20% or
more as insurance.
Then we go to the threequestions for maximum
productivity.
Now, whether you're watchingthis right here live on Twitch,
or you are hearing this on theHood to Hood podcast, or you are
(19:37):
watching the replay highlightson YouTube, I want you to think
about the three questions formaximum productivity.
It says what are my highestvalue activities, and they must
be crystal clear, like for yourfamily, for your business and
your personal.
What are your highest valueactivities?
The second question what can I,and only I, do, if done well,
(20:00):
will make a real difference.
What can I do, and only I dothat will make a real difference
?
And number three what is themost valuable use of my time
right now?
Like, how can you manage yourtime a little bit better?
And to end that, we want to dothe first things first and
second things not at all.
So we're working our waythrough the Eat that Frog book,
(20:22):
and that was a lot of juicyinformation.
Creativity requires you to becourageous.
It requires courage.
It requires just a sense ofknowing that what you put out
into the world is authenticallyyou and it authentically speaks
(20:43):
to everything that you stand for.
So it takes courage to show upevery day.
It takes courage to be creative.
It takes courage to start fromzero.
It takes courage to just workthrough the difficultness.
If you are fearful about life,you're letting the news get you
down.
You're letting the peoplearound you get you down because
(21:05):
they are not doing what they'resupposed to do.
They're not eating the biggestfrog first, they're just
procrastinating.
They don't know anything aboutcreativity.
They don't go inside of theirown brains to think about how
they can contribute to the world.
They're not putting outanything, they're just absorbing
.
We don't want to be one ofthose people who just absorbs
shit Like what can we do?
(21:26):
Get a piece of paper, writedown some things and figure out
how you can get into yourcreator bag.
Because it requires you to becourageous, it requires you to
be brave, it requires you to befearless, it requires you to be
motivated, it requires you to beunapologetic, it requires you
to be disciplined.
Creativity requires a lot, butthe most important thing that it
(21:48):
requires is courage Courage toface everything.
It requires courage to becreative and that's it.
That's it.
It requires courage.
So this is Oral Cancer AwarenessMonth.
Hope you guys brushed andflossed your teeth today.
If not, the sugar bugs willdefinitely enjoy whatever food
(22:10):
you left.
They will definitely clean itup and give you some cavities.
Okay, they will give you somecavities.
They will so brush and floss.
Do you guys know what is thenumber one spot where oral
cancer starts?
What is the number one spotwhere oral cancer starts?
(22:31):
Anybody, you, you, anybody, youin the back.
You know what about you overthere in the corner?
No, okay, no, hands, okay.
So oral cancer's number one spotwhere it starts is under the
tongue.
Number one spot where it startsis under the tongue.
(22:55):
Yes, under the tongue.
So if you have humanpapillomavirus, if you smoke
cigarettes and nicotine or ifyou drink a lot of alcohol, this
increases your chances of oralcancer, and I had a patient ask
me one time you can get cancerin the mouth.
Yes, you can get cancer in themouth and it's one of the most
traumatic things people ever gothrough Because, just like your
teeth, you have confidence.
(23:16):
When you can smile, you have anice smile.
It's like you know, people wanta nice smile.
People get clear liners andbraces and nears and all this to
make their smile nice becauseit builds confidence.
Imagine having a disease whereit just destroys your whole
facial integrity.
Sometimes people lose theirthroat, sometimes people lose
(23:38):
their tongue you know it ispretty traumatic and they end up
talking through a voice box,having feeding tubes, all from
one disease that they did notprobably know existed until it
actually happened.
They saw something in theirmouth and they ignored it and
then it grows rapidly and by thetime you notice it you need to
(24:00):
get to the doctor and you knowdoctor's appointments take a
little minute, so it becomes avery stressful, painful time.
It becomes very stressful andit's not a joke, like cancer
isn't a joke.
I've had family members whohave succumbed to this terrible
disease, any type of cancer, andI've even had patients.
(24:23):
I had patients y'all don'tunderstand.
In my first couple of years ofon this dental practice I did
lose a patient to cancer and ithappened fast, and that's the
one thing about being in themedical field.
You will have those times whereyou lose people and you're like
dang like.
I just saw them and as adentist you see people sometimes
(24:46):
more than they see some oftheir family members.
It's just heartbreaking.
So make sure you guys are payingattention to that.
Let your family and yourfriends know if they have any
issues under their tongue to goand get it checked out.
And for my young folks outthere, for my young folks out
(25:08):
there on the internet world,listen to me now.
Brush and floss your teethtonight.
Brush and floss your teethtonight.
Okay, don't play around with it.
Don't play around with it.
We're not playing around withour teeth in this season.
We're not playing around withour teeth in no season.
No, no season.
(25:29):
Gotta remember why you started,though.
So my review of day six theconsistency challenge.
If I watch this a year from nowday six of the consistency
challenge I want to tell myfuture self that you did that.
You did that man.
You did that.
It's a good feeling when youcan really accomplish your goals
(25:51):
.
It's kind of like graduation.
So if I can do this for 365days, I'm gonna have me a twitch
graduation y'all coming to mygraduation, because what the
lulu or nah?
You already know when you wantto be creative and you want to
accomplish something we alreadyknow.
We already know the recipe, thecreativity I mean the
consistency soup recipe.
(26:13):
Show upness, a little bit ofthe Lulu, determination, some
creativity and unapologeticness.
We're going to need all of thatfor the next 365 days.
I need my future self to knowthat you got this and I'm so
proud of you.
I'm already proud of you inadvance for just showing up,
(26:34):
showing up, showing up guys likewhat.
That's how quick it takes tomake a short-term decision
that's going to have long-termimpact.
This is a primary example ofthis Day six of the consistency
project.
Tomorrow makes one week.
Baby.
What you can't tell me, I ain'tlit.
(26:55):
You can't tell me you're notlit when you accomplish your
goals.
You can't tell me you're notlit when you take action.
Baby, we learned yesterday thatsuccess equals action.
We ain't talking about it.
We got to be about it.
Don't talk about what you'regoing to do, just do it.
Don't sit here and ruminate onwhat you're going to do for one
year, two years, three years, 30years.
Now you still ruminating, youstill thinking heavy about it,
(27:18):
but you ain't took no action,you ain't made no moves.
No, day six teaching me action,baby, action, action that's the
key word is action.
You ain't gotta be perfect.
Action.
Fake it till you make it showup, make that list.
Stop procrastinating.
That's why we talking about eatthat frog, because we're not
procrastinating in this season.
(27:39):
Things is getting crazy aroundhere, especially in the united
states, for us niji, usindigenous american million
people on turtle island.
We're gonna talk about that oneday too.
That's why my name is Dr Chiefthe Sunflower.
But I want to ease my way intothat type of knowledge because
I'm going to let y'all know whoI am.
I'm Dr Chief the Sunflower fora reason I'm Niji, I'm
(28:00):
Muscogeean, I'm Appalachian, I'mfrom the South indigenous.
I did my genealogy and I knowwho I am.
So I'm unapologetic in everyway possible and that's why this
podcast, hood to Hood it that Ihave on all podcast platforms
is so important, because I wentfrom a mindset of not knowing
(28:20):
who I am, thinking that myancestors were slaves or
thinking that they didn't havemuch and they came from nothing.
And all this and I'vediscovered so much history last
year that made me realize, wow,I'm indigenous to this land over
here, to Turtle Island, aka toAmerica.
So that's why the Dr Chief'sname come from.
So ain't no quitting in that,ain't no shame in my game.
(28:42):
We're gonna show up regardless.
This is in my DNA.
It's in my DNA to be great.
It's in my DNA to make myancestors proud and being with
joy when they see me out herejust hustling and bustling
against all eyes.
It's in my DNA to go from hoodto hood and then go from hood to
you know, chief, this baby.
It's in my DNA, in my DNA eversince I was a young lady.
(29:05):
This lady told me you know theblack of the berry, the sweet of
the juice, melanin is beautiful.
She didn't really say melanin.
She said black is beautiful me.
You know the black of the berry, the sweet of the juice,
melanin is beautiful.
She didn't really say melanin.
She said black is beautifulbecause you know, back then we,
we just took on this black.
I know that we're indigenous,so I know all of this.
That's why I'm easing my wayinto this chat, I'm easing my
way into this live.
I'm easing my way into justgrowing and learning and not
(29:29):
quitting.
I can't quit on this.
If I can go and get a doctoraldegree, become a dentist, have a
practice, I could be consistent.
I've already been consistent inlife, but you guys, we need to
consistently work.
We need to consistently work onconsistency.
(29:49):
Is that even a thing?
We need to consistently work onconsistency?
Is that even a thing?
We need to consistently work onconsistency?
We need to continually work onour consistency, every day, no
days off.
And I watch these otherstreamers and I'm growing and
learning and just seeing howunapologetic they are and how
they just show up for themselvesregardless.
It just motivates me as well.
(30:11):
So to be motivated, you need tohave some type of motive, some
type of intention, some type ofthought about the future, and
that's what we are proving withthis project.
Day six is that we can doanything.
You can do anything that youwant to do that you put your
mind to.
When my mind wasn't set to showup on here and be consistent, I
(30:33):
let it go.
I would lay in the bed.
Oh, I'm too tired, I'm about togo to sleep.
F*** Twitch, I'm finna go tosleep.
My sleep was more importantthan my audience.
My sleep was more importantthan showing up for myself.
My sleep was more importantthan growing Twitch or anything.
And I kept falling backwards,getting into this shell.
I'm honestly an introvert, guys.
(30:53):
I'm a Pisces, I'm an introvert.
I'm okay with just being in myown shell and not talking and
not interacting.
I'm okay with that.
But as a dentist, for one, Ican't be an introvert.
Every day I have to go in andput on my white coat and talk to
my patients and build rapportand make them feel like, hey,
how you doing to, you know, havethat extra level of energy.
(31:16):
What's going on in life?
How was your health?
I have to go in and be Dr Shine, but here I'm Dr Chief the
Sunflower.
Maybe Dr Chief the Sunflower,but either I still need to be
consistent and understand who Iam and why I'm showing up and
why I will never quit and whyyou should never quit.
(31:37):
It's not in your DNA to quit.
It's not in your DNA to give up.
It's not in your DNA to justsit every day and make
short-term goals that do nothave an impact on your future.
Time is not going to stop forany of us.
We all have the same 24 hours,but how we spend our time is
going to determine who issuccessful and who is going to
(31:57):
live a life of regret.
So, with this hood to hoodjourney, we grow in every way
possible.
We grow physically, we growmentally, we grow spiritually,
we grow in our wealth.
We grow in every way, with thefamily, with the business, with
the personal.
We're going to touch on everyaspect that we can, because 365
days is a lot of days for us toaccomplish a lot, a lot of days
(32:20):
for us to grow, a lot of daysfor my community to elevate Me,
to support you and for you tosupport me by allowing me to be
myself and just coming with thepositive energy.
You know, it's a proud day, sixbaby.
It's a proud day, six babybecause I could listen, man,
when nobody knows that you havea goal that you're doing and you
(32:41):
just start doing your goal,even if it's something like
streaming or it's so easy toquit in the beginning because
nobody gonna know that I quit onmyself.
But you will know, you willknow and you will feel like shit
every day that you don'taccomplish your goals and you
just wait and you play aroundwith your time and you say I'm
(33:02):
gonna do it tomorrow.
Oh girl, I'll do it next week.
I don't feel like it.
Then tomorrow, come, girl.
I don't feel like it again.
Then next year, come.
It's like girl, I don't havelike it.
Then tomorrow comes, girl, Idon't feel like it again.
Then next year comes, it's likegirl, I don't have that dream,
no more.
I'm just going to do thislittle easy shit Because I'm too
lazy and I don't got time tothink, I don't got time to plan
and eat no frogs and do thehardest stuff first.
(33:22):
I'm doing this easy stuff firstand that's it.
Hell.
No, we ain't doing that.
We ain't doing that.
We ain't doing that chat.
We're not doing that.
We showing up, we showing up,baby, regardless, we getting out
of that introvert shit.
We showing up, we showing up,we showing up, show up, show up,
(33:45):
show out or get lost.
This is Dr.
Shon, aka Dr Cheetah Sunflower,and we all the way live.
We all the way live.
We all the way live.
We all the way live.
We all the way live.
We all the way live.
We all the way live, we all theway live.
(34:07):
But now I'm about to be all theway gone.
Make sure you follow me.
welcome to the broadcast.
Guys, this is day six of theconsistency project.
Oh, day six of the consistencyproject.
How y'all feeling today?
And listen, baby, listen,streaming consistently.
You gotta really want us reallywant it, and this is something
(00:21):
I really want.
This is the first week of mebeing consistent on twitch, so
hello to everybody in twitchworld.
We are on day six of dr sean's365 day consistency project.
Boo-boo, and what is theconsistency project?
This is just 365 days of meshowing up on twitch for one
(00:42):
hour.
Hey, baby, yes, every day wegrow.
Every day, Dr.
Shon and my community, we aregrowing, regardless if I haven't
met you yet and you don't evenknow I'm on here, you're gonna
grow when you finally meet me,if you watch this on the replay
in the future, because that'swhat manifesting and speaking
things into existence is allabout.
(01:05):
When you got something that youwant to do, you don't have no
excuses.
You just go and get the skill.
Baby, you want to be something,go do it, don't complain, just
do it.
And I know that this issomething that I was lacking, so
I said let me do the 365 dayconsistency project.
Yesterday, we started reviewingthe book eat that frog.
(01:26):
We started reviewing the bookeat that frog by brian tracy,
and if it's one thing that wewant to develop during this 365
day consistency project is thelack of procrastination.
I'm still pushing the CDPformula, which is consistency
plus discipline minusprocrastination equals a glow up
(01:48):
, and that's my formula that Icreated when I created this
challenge.
Now, if you don't know, you canjoin me on this challenge.
You can make this your day oneand just commit to doing
something for 365 days.
So for me, it's just showing upon Twitch, just showing up.
We are reviewing chapter twotoday and chapter three, and
(02:08):
maybe enough for this broadcast,so let's dive in Chapter two.
He talked about planning everyday in advance, just something
that really helps your lifeprogress.
It's the ability to make goodplans before you act is a
measure of your competence.
I have a podcast, the Hood toHooded podcast.
(02:29):
I'm all about, especially now,helping young adults not drop
out of school or just pursuesomething that you really love.
That's going to increase yourquality of life.
Planning your day in advance isalways good, for any age, for
any person, just to know whatyou're going to do the next day.
This is going to increase yourreturn of energy because you're
going to be investing physical,mental and emotional energy and
(02:53):
when you plan, one minute ofplanning is worth 10 minutes of
execution, did you guys hear me?
So every minute that you plansaves you 10 minutes of
execution, and it takes 10 to 12minutes to plan your day.
This is going to save you twohours of time.
This wasted, diffuse effortthroughout the day and, as a
(03:13):
dental practice online, this isgoing to help me, like this one
tip is going to help me.
Even though I kind of plan myday, I kind of got out of that
routine of planning the daybecause the days are going so
fast.
I was like where's the time?
Because the days are going sofast, I was like where the time
going?
The time going too fast for me?
It just needs to slow down.
But time isn't slowing down.
You don't have enough time todo everything on your list, so
you have to prioritize what youwant to do.
(03:35):
So I'm eating the frog.
That means tackling the biggest, ugliest, largest task that I
have to do first and justgetting it done, and that's
important as a dentist and as adoctor.
Remember that planning for oneminute of planning is saves you
10 minutes of execution.
So this is going to save youabout two hours a day of wasted
(03:56):
time just trying to figure out,dang, what I'm gonna do today,
what is my plan today.
You become so stagnant, youknow, and let's do one thing and
we're gonna get right back toit.
Guys, he goes in and talk aboutthe 6p formula.
Now I have talked about thisformula before because we talk
about this formula in dentalschool.
(04:17):
It's kind of like a littleknown thing that proper planning
is the 6p formula, 6psps.
Proper planning prevents poorperformance.
I would like to add another Pand then make it a 7P formula.
Proper planning prevents piss,poor performance.
If you don't plan, get a pen anda paper, then you risk the
chance of performing poorly.
(04:39):
You risk the chance of beingunprepared.
You risk the chance of justwasting your time.
It's going to save you twoextra hours per day.
So always work from a list andadd new tasks to your list.
This will increase yourproductivity by 25%.
I want to be 25% moreproductive.
So two hours.
So if you plan for 10 to 12minutes per day, this is going
(05:02):
to save you two hours ofexecution time and it's also
going to increase yourproductivity by 25 percent.
I need that two hours, so wewant to make our plans the night
before so that way oursubconscious mind works on that
plan while we are sleeping andthis allows your brain to kind
(05:23):
of know what you're going to dotomorrow and help you do it
faster.
It can help you do it faster soyou wake up with new ideas to
get the job done faster.
It increases your effectivenessand your efficiency.
Okay, and have different listsfor different purposes.
Your master list that you haveshould have all the things that
you need to get done, and thenyou want to have a monthly list.
(05:45):
So what are you?
What are some things that youhave to do this month?
Then you have a weekly list anda daily list.
Okay, so at the end of themonth you want to say, hey,
these are the things I want toget done next month, break it
down into the week and thenbreak it down into a daily task.
I was more a fan of planning anddoing the 6p formula while in
(06:08):
dental school.
A little bit after dentalschool, I started reading all
the self-help stuff, but then Ifell off a little bit, opening
up this dental practice when Ishould have had more of this
stuff.
I kind of fell off because thetasks were everywhere.
I have so much on my masterlist that I became unorganized.
I became a hot a** mess webeing honest here, right, I
(06:30):
became a hot a** mess, right.
So I said let me reel it backin.
Let's reel it back in.
Let's not get too lost in thesauce, let's not let life
overtake us and let's not allowall the things that we have to
do to cause us to stress, getdepressed, get anxiety, and that
way we don't do s***.
When you don't plan, you can'tdo anything.
(06:50):
A lot of times you executenothing because you have too
much on your plate.
So before you try to eateverything on your plate, eat
the biggest frog first.
Deal with the hardest,difficult, most thing that will
make the biggest difference inyour life first.
So let's go over the 10-90 rule.
He talks about the 10-90 rule.
(07:12):
The first 10% of time you spendplanning and organizing your
work before you begin saves youas much as 90% of time in
getting the job done.
Once you get started, youbecome unstoppable.
Getting the job done once youget started, you become
unstoppable.
So if you take the first 10% ofyour time planning and
organizing, then you're going tosave 90% of time to get your
(07:34):
job done.
Do we see?
With this chapter he's mostlytalking about the importance of
planning at any age, especiallywhen you're younger.
I remember being a teenager,even trying to plan my future.
I remember being in high schoolsaying I want to be a doctor.
I have to plan to do this.
Even in high school you have tohave a plan.
Even in college you have tohave a plan.
(07:55):
As a streamer, you need a plan.
Any career, you need the skillof planning and all it takes is
10 to 12 minutes per day to planthe next day and make your list
and work from your list.
Look how much time we saving,guys, by just planning.
Moving right along to chapter 3,apply the 80 20 rule to
everything.
Now I have touched on the 80 20rule before.
(08:17):
If you don't know what the 8020 rule is, baby, today is the
day you got to wake up and knowthe 80-20 rule.
It's also called the ParetoPrinciple by an Italian
economist, vilfredo Pareto.
He first mentioned it in 1895,but this was just off for
observations of something thatwas naturally happening.
So it says 20% of your activitywill breed 80% of the results.
(08:43):
20% of your customers willrepresent 80% of the results.
20% of your customers willrepresent 80% of yourselves.
20% of your products willaccount for 80% of your profit.
20% of the tasks will equal 80%of the value.
So that means that if you havea list of 10 things on the 10
tasks to do, two of those taskswill be the most impactful and
(09:05):
even, furthermore, one of thosetasks might be worth more than
all of the tasks.
So with this book, eat that frog.
It just teaches you to eat thebiggest, ugliest frog first.
Do the hardest, most difficulttask first.
Don't save it to the end.
You're doing all these smalltasks every day, not really
amounting to anything, and thenyou end up not moving forward.
(09:26):
You have to do the big thingsthat matter first.
For instance, I'll use what Iwanted to get into dental school
.
We have to take this testcalled the dental admissions
test.
It has several subjects on it.
It has math, science,perceptual ability, organic
chemistry, regular chemistry,biology.
It has all of these differenttopics.
(09:47):
But because I knew my weaknessin college was organic chemistry
, because I had an F and then Igot a C and you can't have a C
so I went back and got a C yes,I know.
So I knew that on the dentaladmissions test, this would be
the main subject area that Iwould need to focus on, so I
focused most of my time on thatsubject.
(10:08):
I didn't really really waste iton the math or the other things
that I knew wouldn't accountfor much.
And this is how you have tothink with everything that you
do Always think about what isthe most important thing that I
can do to make a differencetoday and do that.
Don't do the little small stuff, stuff that can wait and we're
going to go into this a littlebit deeper.
(10:29):
So the one task that is goingto make the most difference is
often the one that is morecomplex and the hardest and that
one that you just avoid becauseyou just don't feel like doing
it.
It says before you begin, askthis question.
It says before you begin, askthis, ask this question, tasks
at your top 20 percent or at thebottom 80 percent.
(10:49):
If you prioritize your list andhe puts out this rule and I
definitely agree with this ruleis to resist the temptation to
clear up the small things first.
I have a tendency to try to dothe small because I'm like this
a little bit's going to bequicker, but it's not worth much
value when you're trying tomove the needle.
Now this chapter three is allabout time management.
(11:11):
Time management is a lifemanagement and taking control of
the sequence of events in yourlife.
When you learn to manage yourtime and I cannot stress that
enough chat, just manage yourtime, make your life better,
make your life easier.
Eat that frog.
So chapter four is saying toconsider the consequences of not
(11:32):
doing the most important thingfirst.
There's another rule Long-termthinking improves short-term
decision making.
Again, this goes back to mebeing in high school thinking
long term about what I want todo in my future.
I had to make some short termdecisions.
So if I know that in 10 to 15to 20 years which is how long it
(11:53):
took me to be a daughter I knowthat I need to make some short
term decisions.
I know that in high school Ineed to shadow.
I know that I need to docommunity service.
I know that I need to get goodgrades and show up for school
and not drop out.
I know that I need to docommunity service.
I know that I need to get goodgrades and show up for school
and not drop out.
I know that I need to apply tocollege.
And then in my senior year Ireally did know these things
because I'm coming from the hood.
(12:13):
None of my family really hadthat college experience.
I'm like a first generationalcollege student.
You don't have the knowledgefrom the family or from the
tribe to tell you, hey, there'ssome consequences to the
short-term decisions you'remaking.
So I was ahead of my time when Isaid, in order to be a doctor,
I need to move differently.
And I was in the InternationalBaccalaureate program at
(12:34):
Rickards High School inTallahassee, Florida, which is
like a college prep program, andin that program I saw all my
peers who were some of them, Iassume, were in a lot better
positions.
You see their parents showingup when I don't have my parents.
You see mom, dad, like.
You see these differences.
You see them preparing to taketests.
I'm like, well, I'd be takingthe test.
(12:55):
So that's how I found out theroadmap by just being in that
environment around otherstudents who were just doing it.
It wasn't like a parent saying,hey, we need to get you ready
to be a doctor.
It who were just doing it.
It wasn't like a parent saying,hey, we need to get you ready
to be a doctor.
It was none of that.
It was just me like, okay, well, I can do it too.
I'm in this program.
I got to be just smart.
So when I seen them applying,I'm like, wait, y'all applied to
college last summer.
(13:16):
They applied to college thesummer before me, before me, a
lot of my peers in that program.
They applied to college thesummer before I did.
So by the time they weregetting their admissions letters
, I'm like, well, dang, I didn'teven apply.
Listen, guys, the hood to hoodjourney was a hot mess.
I didn't even apply until latebecause I saw other people
applying and I was like, dang, Iwish I had applied when y'all
(13:37):
applied.
I want to go to Tampa with mybest friend.
I want to move out of town.
But that wasn't my story.
It wasn't time for me to move,because I was like a deer in the
head, like it's just trying tomake it out the struggle,
without knowing what the to do.
Which is why I wrote this bookhood to hood.
It dr sean's story.
(13:57):
That's why I wrote this book.
It's not out yet next year,baby.
That's why I wrote that book,because I know that a lot of
young adults don't have aroadmap.
When you come from underservedplaces, you don't have that
roadmap.
You don't have parents who havebeen in college and have the
experience to know what tests totake, how to take it, what to
(14:18):
do, when to do it, how to do it.
So this book just breaks down,like my journey even though I
didn't do it the traditional wayand there was a lot, I still
figured it out, regardless ofthe roadmap to create a roadmap
for other people who come fromenvironments that look like the
ones that I grew up in, and forkids who look like me, you know.
So in this chapter, when weconsider in the long term and
(14:41):
short term consequences of thedecisions you make today,
there's a rule Long termthinking improves short term
decision making.
And he says successful peoplehave clear future orientation
and I can 100% say that's one ofthe primary reasons why I went
from hood to hood.
It will be one of the primaryreasons why you go from wanting
(15:04):
to accomplish your goal andaccomplishing your goal.
It's the way you think aboutyour future.
Only you know what you want andhow you want your life to look
5, 10, 15, 20 years from now youwant to analyze the behaviors
that you're doing, the choicesthat you make right now, and
make sure they are aligning withthe future that you desire.
(15:25):
Then he says make betterdecisions on time.
Important things have long-termpotential consequences.
Unimportant things in your lifewon't have any consequences if
you don't do them.
We talked about making thatlist, the 80-20 rule, doing the
20% things that will make thebiggest difference.
(15:45):
Those things are complex, theymay be a little bit difficult,
but they will be important.
So remember to do the importantthings that will have long-term
potential consequences first.
Okay, do it first.
Another rule is future intentinfluence and often determine
present action.
But your future intent, likewhatever your goals are for the
(16:09):
future, will determine what youdo right now.
And then it says think aboutthe long term Successful people.
We delay gratification and wesacrifice Unsuccessful people.
They take short term pleasures,immediate gratification, and
they don't think about thefuture.
So this is a primary example ofwanting to achieve success but
(16:29):
having delayed gratification.
So delayed gratification meansyou're not getting that reward
right now.
You will get it later.
You are making a sacrifice justto accomplish something later,
greater later, which is the 365project making a sacrifice,
showing up here every day,despite who's in the room,
(16:49):
despite the things that I lack,despite the knowledge that I
don't know about this platform.
Just showing up things that areimportant to you would be
difficult.
You would have delayedgratification.
You know you're making thesacrifice just for something.
In the long term, and in orderto be motivated, you need motive
.
What is your motive for showingup?
(17:10):
He breaks down this from personA to person B.
So person A is going to show upto work earlier.
They're reading in their field,they're taking courses, they're
increasing their skills andfocus on high value tasks.
Person B is going to show up towork a little late.
They're reading newspaper,drinking coffee and socializing
all the time.
They're on Facebook juststrolling.
(17:30):
They're not on here trying togo live or figure out how to
make their life better, or howto figure out how to make their
job better, or learning how togrow their business, or learning
about different areas that canhelp their business making new
merch.
They're not doing none of that.
Which one are you?
Are you just wasting time?
Are you one of those people who, like you, know I'm motivated,
(17:51):
so I have a motive to get better?
I have a motive.
Time is going to pass anyway.
How you use it will determinewhere you end up at the end of
the weeks, the months and theyears.
Just think about that.
Time is going to pass.
We already know this.
This is the number onecommodity in the world.
It's not money, it's time.
You don't have a lot of time.
(18:12):
Time is passing.
I remember I did a reading Ithink they said we have, if you
were to live from the age of 16or 18 till you're like 90,
that's like 300 months.
I really put things that 300months.
What a lot of people don't evenlive that long.
So what are you doing in those300 months?
Because the time is ticking.
(18:33):
The time is ticking and how youpass your time will determine
how you end up at the end of theweek, at the end of the day and
at the end of the month.
So it says we want to obey thelaw of forced efficiency.
There is never enough time todo everything, but there is
always enough time to do themost important thing.
(18:53):
I love that we never haveenough time.
I have so many magazines that Isay that I plan to read later
and watch later on my YouTube.
You ain't going to have enoughtime to do all that.
You don't have enough time.
I feel like that is a big partof accomplishing your goals and
focusing on the long term.
Do the most important thingfirst.
(19:14):
We got that Okay, so deadlineis an excuse.
However much time you thinkabout a task will take at 20% or
more as insurance.
Then we go to the threequestions for maximum
productivity.
Now, whether you're watchingthis right here live on Twitch,
or you are hearing this on theHood to Hood podcast, or you are
(19:37):
watching the replay highlightson YouTube, I want you to think
about the three questions formaximum productivity.
It says what are my highestvalue activities, and they must
be crystal clear, like for yourfamily, for your business and
your personal.
What are your highest valueactivities?
The second question what can I,and only I, do, if done well,
(20:00):
will make a real difference.
What can I do, and only I dothat will make a real difference
?
And number three what is themost valuable use of my time
right now?
Like, how can you manage yourtime a little bit better?
And to end that, we want to dothe first things first and
second things not at all.
So we're working our waythrough the Eat that Frog book,
(20:22):
and that was a lot of juicyinformation.
Creativity requires you to becourageous.
It requires courage.
It requires just a sense ofknowing that what you put out
into the world is authenticallyyou and it authentically speaks
(20:43):
to everything that you stand for.
So it takes courage to show upevery day.
It takes courage to be creative.
It takes courage to start fromzero.
It takes courage to just workthrough the difficultness.
If you are fearful about life,you're letting the news get you
down.
You're letting the peoplearound you get you down because
(21:05):
they are not doing what they'resupposed to do.
They're not eating the biggestfrog first, they're just
procrastinating.
They don't know anything aboutcreativity.
They don't go inside of theirown brains to think about how
they can contribute to the world.
They're not putting outanything, they're just absorbing
.
We don't want to be one ofthose people who just absorbs
shit Like what can we do?
(21:26):
Get a piece of paper, writedown some things and figure out
how you can get into yourcreator bag.
Because it requires you to becourageous, it requires you to
be brave, it requires you to befearless, it requires you to be
motivated, it requires you to beunapologetic, it requires you
to be disciplined.
Creativity requires a lot, butthe most important thing that it
(21:48):
requires is courage Courage toface everything.
It requires courage to becreative and that's it.
That's it.
It requires courage.
So this is Oral Cancer AwarenessMonth.
Hope you guys brushed andflossed your teeth today.
If not, the sugar bugs willdefinitely enjoy whatever food
(22:10):
you left.
They will definitely clean itup and give you some cavities.
Okay, they will give you somecavities.
They will so brush and floss.
Do you guys know what is thenumber one spot where oral
cancer starts?
What is the number one spotwhere oral cancer starts?
(22:31):
Anybody, you, you, anybody, youin the back.
You know what about you overthere in the corner?
No, okay, no, hands, okay.
So oral cancer's number one spotwhere it starts is under the
tongue.
Number one spot where it startsis under the tongue.
(22:55):
Yes, under the tongue.
So if you have humanpapillomavirus, if you smoke
cigarettes and nicotine or ifyou drink a lot of alcohol, this
increases your chances of oralcancer, and I had a patient ask
me one time you can get cancerin the mouth.
Yes, you can get cancer in themouth and it's one of the most
traumatic things people ever gothrough Because, just like your
teeth, you have confidence.
(23:16):
When you can smile, you have anice smile.
It's like you know, people wanta nice smile.
People get clear liners andbraces and nears and all this to
make their smile nice becauseit builds confidence.
Imagine having a disease whereit just destroys your whole
facial integrity.
Sometimes people lose theirthroat, sometimes people lose
(23:38):
their tongue you know it ispretty traumatic and they end up
talking through a voice box,having feeding tubes, all from
one disease that they did notprobably know existed until it
actually happened.
They saw something in theirmouth and they ignored it and
then it grows rapidly and by thetime you notice it you need to
(24:00):
get to the doctor and you knowdoctor's appointments take a
little minute, so it becomes avery stressful, painful time.
It becomes very stressful andit's not a joke, like cancer
isn't a joke.
I've had family members whohave succumbed to this terrible
disease, any type of cancer, andI've even had patients.
(24:23):
I had patients y'all don'tunderstand.
In my first couple of years ofon this dental practice I did
lose a patient to cancer and ithappened fast, and that's the
one thing about being in themedical field.
You will have those times whereyou lose people and you're like
dang like.
I just saw them and as adentist you see people sometimes
(24:46):
more than they see some oftheir family members.
It's just heartbreaking.
So make sure you guys are payingattention to that.
Let your family and yourfriends know if they have any
issues under their tongue to goand get it checked out.
And for my young folks outthere, for my young folks out
(25:08):
there on the internet world,listen to me now.
Brush and floss your teethtonight.
Brush and floss your teethtonight.
Okay, don't play around with it.
Don't play around with it.
We're not playing around withour teeth in this season.
We're not playing around withour teeth in no season.
No, no season.
(25:29):
Gotta remember why you started,though.
So my review of day six theconsistency challenge.
If I watch this a year from nowday six of the consistency
challenge I want to tell myfuture self that you did that.
You did that man.
You did that.
It's a good feeling when youcan really accomplish your goals
(25:51):
.
It's kind of like graduation.
So if I can do this for 365days, I'm gonna have me a twitch
graduation y'all coming to mygraduation, because what the
lulu or nah?
You already know when you wantto be creative and you want to
accomplish something we alreadyknow.
We already know the recipe, thecreativity I mean the
consistency soup recipe.
(26:13):
Show upness, a little bit ofthe Lulu, determination, some
creativity and unapologeticness.
We're going to need all of thatfor the next 365 days.
I need my future self to knowthat you got this and I'm so
proud of you.
I'm already proud of you inadvance for just showing up,
(26:34):
showing up, showing up guys likewhat.
That's how quick it takes tomake a short-term decision
that's going to have long-termimpact.
This is a primary example ofthis Day six of the consistency
project.
Tomorrow makes one week.
Baby.
What you can't tell me, I ain'tlit.
(26:55):
You can't tell me you're notlit when you accomplish your
goals.
You can't tell me you're notlit when you take action.
Baby, we learned yesterday thatsuccess equals action.
We ain't talking about it.
We got to be about it.
Don't talk about what you'regoing to do, just do it.
Don't sit here and ruminate onwhat you're going to do for one
year, two years, three years, 30years.
Now you still ruminating, youstill thinking heavy about it,
(27:18):
but you ain't took no action,you ain't made no moves.
No, day six teaching me action,baby, action, action that's the
key word is action.
You ain't gotta be perfect.
Action.
Fake it till you make it showup, make that list.
Stop procrastinating.
That's why we talking about eatthat frog, because we're not
procrastinating in this season.
(27:39):
Things is getting crazy aroundhere, especially in the united
states, for us niji, usindigenous american million
people on turtle island.
We're gonna talk about that oneday too.
That's why my name is Dr Chiefthe Sunflower.
But I want to ease my way intothat type of knowledge because
I'm going to let y'all know whoI am.
I'm Dr Chief the Sunflower fora reason I'm Niji, I'm
(28:00):
Muscogeean, I'm Appalachian, I'mfrom the South indigenous.
I did my genealogy and I knowwho I am.
So I'm unapologetic in everyway possible and that's why this
podcast, hood to Hood it that Ihave on all podcast platforms
is so important, because I wentfrom a mindset of not knowing
(28:20):
who I am, thinking that myancestors were slaves or
thinking that they didn't havemuch and they came from nothing.
And all this and I'vediscovered so much history last
year that made me realize, wow,I'm indigenous to this land over
here, to Turtle Island, aka toAmerica.
So that's why the Dr Chief'sname come from.
So ain't no quitting in that,ain't no shame in my game.
(28:42):
We're gonna show up regardless.
This is in my DNA.
It's in my DNA to be great.
It's in my DNA to make myancestors proud and being with
joy when they see me out herejust hustling and bustling
against all eyes.
It's in my DNA to go from hoodto hood and then go from hood to
you know, chief, this baby.
It's in my DNA, in my DNA eversince I was a young lady.
(29:05):
This lady told me you know theblack of the berry, the sweet of
the juice, melanin is beautiful.
She didn't really say melanin.
She said black is beautiful me.
You know the black of the berry, the sweet of the juice,
melanin is beautiful.
She didn't really say melanin.
She said black is beautifulbecause you know, back then we,
we just took on this black.
I know that we're indigenous,so I know all of this.
That's why I'm easing my wayinto this chat, I'm easing my
way into this live.
I'm easing my way into justgrowing and learning and not
(29:29):
quitting.
I can't quit on this.
If I can go and get a doctoraldegree, become a dentist, have a
practice, I could be consistent.
I've already been consistent inlife, but you guys, we need to
consistently work.
We need to consistently work onconsistency.
(29:49):
Is that even a thing?
We need to consistently work onconsistency?
Is that even a thing?
We need to consistently work onconsistency?
We need to continually work onour consistency, every day, no
days off.
And I watch these otherstreamers and I'm growing and
learning and just seeing howunapologetic they are and how
they just show up for themselvesregardless.
It just motivates me as well.
(30:11):
So to be motivated, you need tohave some type of motive, some
type of intention, some type ofthought about the future, and
that's what we are proving withthis project.
Day six is that we can doanything.
You can do anything that youwant to do that you put your
mind to.
When my mind wasn't set to showup on here and be consistent, I
(30:33):
let it go.
I would lay in the bed.
Oh, I'm too tired, I'm about togo to sleep.
F*** Twitch, I'm finna go tosleep.
My sleep was more importantthan my audience.
My sleep was more importantthan showing up for myself.
My sleep was more importantthan growing Twitch or anything.
And I kept falling backwards,getting into this shell.
I'm honestly an introvert, guys.
(30:53):
I'm a Pisces, I'm an introvert.
I'm okay with just being in myown shell and not talking and
not interacting.
I'm okay with that.
But as a dentist, for one, Ican't be an introvert.
Every day I have to go in andput on my white coat and talk to
my patients and build rapportand make them feel like, hey,
how you doing to, you know, havethat extra level of energy.
(31:16):
What's going on in life?
How was your health?
I have to go in and be Dr Shine, but here I'm Dr Chief the
Sunflower.
Maybe Dr Chief the Sunflower,but either I still need to be
consistent and understand who Iam and why I'm showing up and
why I will never quit and whyyou should never quit.
(31:37):
It's not in your DNA to quit.
It's not in your DNA to give up.
It's not in your DNA to justsit every day and make
short-term goals that do nothave an impact on your future.
Time is not going to stop forany of us.
We all have the same 24 hours,but how we spend our time is
going to determine who issuccessful and who is going to
(31:57):
live a life of regret.
So, with this hood to hoodjourney, we grow in every way
possible.
We grow physically, we growmentally, we grow spiritually,
we grow in our wealth.
We grow in every way, with thefamily, with the business, with
the personal.
We're going to touch on everyaspect that we can, because 365
days is a lot of days for us toaccomplish a lot, a lot of days
(32:20):
for us to grow, a lot of daysfor my community to elevate Me,
to support you and for you tosupport me by allowing me to be
myself and just coming with thepositive energy.
You know, it's a proud day, sixbaby.
It's a proud day, six babybecause I could listen, man,
when nobody knows that you havea goal that you're doing and you
(32:41):
just start doing your goal,even if it's something like
streaming or it's so easy toquit in the beginning because
nobody gonna know that I quit onmyself.
But you will know, you willknow and you will feel like shit
every day that you don'taccomplish your goals and you
just wait and you play aroundwith your time and you say I'm
(33:02):
gonna do it tomorrow.
Oh girl, I'll do it next week.
I don't feel like it.
Then tomorrow, come, girl.
I don't feel like it again.
Then next year, come.
It's like girl, I don't havelike it.
Then tomorrow comes, girl, Idon't feel like it again.
Then next year comes, it's likegirl, I don't have that dream,
no more.
I'm just going to do thislittle easy shit Because I'm too
lazy and I don't got time tothink, I don't got time to plan
and eat no frogs and do thehardest stuff first.
(33:22):
I'm doing this easy stuff firstand that's it.
Hell.
No, we ain't doing that.
We ain't doing that.
We ain't doing that chat.
We're not doing that.
We showing up, we showing up,baby, regardless, we getting out
of that introvert shit.
We showing up, we showing up,we showing up, show up, show up,
(33:45):
