Episode Transcript

Dai Manuel (00:08):
Hey, hey, 2% Collective.
Welcome back to another episodeof the 2% Solution.
I'm your host, diamond.
Well, and today we will getreal, raw and real, and I mean
really real.
We're talking about thosemoments in life when you look
around and think what the heckis going on.
Why aren't things working outthe way I expected, whether it's

(00:29):
in your health, your workrelationships or maybe just
overall life satisfaction.
If you don't trust the resultsyou're getting, then it's time
to do something about it.
So let's dive in and figure outhow to turn things around,
starting now.
Gotta start hard, look in themirror.
Let's start with a story,because you know I love a good

(00:50):
story.
Years ago, I hit literally apoint in my life where I felt
like I was spinning my wheelsand gaining no traction.
I was working hard, doing allthe right things in air quotes,
but the results weren't there.
My business wasn't growing, myrelationships restrained and my
health was suffering.
I was frustrated, confused and,honestly, a little bit scared.

(01:14):
I wondered if I was doingsomething wrong or if life was
giving me a raw deal.
It's easy to feel that way,isn't it?
And then it hit me the resultsI was or wasn't getting were a
direct reflection of my actions,my mindset as well as my

(01:35):
choices I was making.
And that's when I knew it wastime for a hard look in the
mirror.
If I didn't trust the results Iwas seeing, I needed to change
the way I approached them.
And that's exactly what I did.
So here's the first stepSelf-awareness.
Gotta know where we're startingfrom, where we're at, know a
little bit about who we are,what we're about, why we are.

(01:57):
And, according to a studypublished in the journal
Personality and SocialPsychology, people with high
self-awareness are likelier tomake better decisions, achieve
their goals as well as live morefulfilling lives.
Isn't that what we all want?
Now, why is that?
Because they understand howtheir thoughts, emotions and
behaviors influence theiroutcomes.

(02:21):
If you're not happy with theresults you're getting, if
you're not happy with theresults you're getting, start by
asking yourself these threequestions.
Number one what am I doing ornot doing that's contributing to
these results?
Am I honest with myself aboutmy efforts, priorities and
mindset?
And then, lastly, what limitingbeliefs or fears keep me from

(02:43):
achieving the desired results?
Now I'm going to be honest.
It's not always easy to facethese answers, but trust me,
it's going to be worth it.
This is where the real growthhappens.
This process is simple yetpowerful.
Start with reflection, takingan honest look at your current
situation.
Then move into introspection,diving deep into your thoughts,

(03:06):
feelings and motivations, andthen next set a clear intention
for what you want to achieve.
And finally, you got to takedecisive action toward the goal.
Without the action, nothinghappens.
This four-step approach can beyour roadmap to transforming
unsatisfactory or untrustworthyresults ultimately into the

(03:27):
outcomes you do desire Now.
Next, we have to talk aboutaccountability in this
conversation.
You've heard me say it beforeAccountability is the game
changer.
According to the AmericanSociety of Training and
Development, you're 65% morelikely to achieve your goals if
you commit them to someone else.

(03:47):
If you meet with that personregularly to check your progress
like a coach, a mentor, maybe afriend, a good colleague your
chances of success jump to 95%95%.
So if you're not trusting theresults, you're getting it's
time to bring someone else intothe mix.
Like I said a coach, a mentor,a friend, maybe a loved one.

(04:10):
Find someone who can hold youaccountable, give you honest
feedback and help you stay ontrack.
Now it's not about judgment,it's about support and
encouragement.
Now here's the big takeawaytoday.
If you don't trust the resultsyou're getting, you need to take
immediate action.
Don't wait, don't procrastinate.
Do something about it today,now.

(04:30):
It doesn't have to be anythinghuge.
Start by making small,manageable changes that align
with the results you want to seeand experience.
So, for example, all right, weall like examples.
If you're not seeing progressin your health, why not evaluate
your diet, your exercise, yoursleep habits?
What small change or tweak canyou make today to move the

(04:51):
needle forward in those areas?
Second example if your careerisn't where you want it to be,
consider what skills orconnections you need to develop.
What action can you take rightnow to start that process?
And then, lastly, what if yourrelationships are struggling?
Ask yourself how can you showup more fully and authentically?

(05:12):
What conversation can youinitiate today to improve
communication and connection?
Remember, small, consistentactions lead to big results over
time.
The whole life fitness manifestoand the 2% solution are about
making those minor, incrementalimprovements that add to a life
you can be proud of.
All right, my 2% collective.

(05:35):
Well, that's it for today.
If you don't trust the resultsyou're getting in life, it's
time to take action, startingnow, tomorrow.
Now, look in the mirror, getreal with yourself and make the
necessary changes to create yourdesired life.
