I have no desire to attract “followers”. I want to attract leaders. Leaders who are willing to learn or apply their strengths to help other people. That’s it! That’s a leader.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Okay, what if I told you that the main thing
that you must be in order to be a leader
is to be stable. I can already hear you, and
you know I can hear you through the radio here.
Oh gosh, any how am I going to be stable?
I have consistency in my bottom strengths. I have disciplined
(00:28):
in my bottom strengths. I can't be stable. I have
never been any I've I've been anything but stable my
whole life. Right, I totally get it, and I want
you to tell I want to tell you right now,
I don't mean that kind of stable, all right, because
I don't believe that me mentally. In many ways, I
can be very unstable, right. I can get involved in
(00:49):
anyone else's business just like anybody else. You know. I
can get angry, I can get frustrated. I can just
lose it, just like anyone else. But does that mean
I can't be stability as a leader. I'm going to
prove to you that that is not true. You can
be stability as a leader. And that's what we're getting
into at This episode is the fourth episode of the
(01:10):
You know, obviously, you know what is it we need
to be to be an attractive leader. We talked about trust,
we talked about hope, we talked about compassion, and today
is the last one. And in my opinion, I've saved
the best for last all. Even though all four of
these are equally important to me, this is the one
that is the most inspiring to me. This is the
(01:31):
one that makes it most you know, achievable, Okay, to
be a leader. I'm going to tell you a story
about when I met Pete Rose, and I've told the
story before, but I got to tell it again when
it comes to stability because it's so like, it's so humbling,
and it's so it's so great. I'm just I'm so
(01:52):
grateful for Pete for the time that he spent with me.
It was just about seven or eight minutes, right. I
got it all on video. There is a way to
watch it. One of my podcasts I talked about where
I met Pete Rose, and I put a link to
the recording so you can watch the d I talked
to him. It was just awesome. But here's the lesson. So,
first off, what are the four things that people are
(02:12):
looking for when they're looking for a leader. They're looking
for someone who creates trust, hope, compassion and stability. Yep,
stability is one of the things you have to be.
And I'll explain how that what that looks like. So
Pete Rose, if you don't know, okay, one of the
greatest baseball players of all time. Okay, I'm not saying
(02:33):
he's one of the greatest people of all time. Don't
confuse that. I'm just saying he's one of the greatest
baseball players of all time. And the biggest thing, the
most amazing thing that Pete did is he has a record. Okay,
And I'm explaining what this record is. Before I get
into that record, I'm going to have you consider two
things about yourself. When you are trying to help people,
(02:55):
or when you're trying to sell a product or a program,
or you're trying to make a difference in people's lives.
Are you showing up to try to hit a home run, right,
which means knock it out of the park so that
the crowd goes wild, right? Or are you trying to
do something boring like a base hit? Okay, Now, the
(03:16):
one thing I love about home runs is they're exciting, right,
It's fun to watch the ball sail over the wall.
And it's fun to watch the home run derby and
to hear about, you know, all these baseball players who
are going for home run titles. They're very fun. It's fun,
you know, and it's in many ways it's sexy. Right,
But nobody tends to get super excited about a base hit.
(03:39):
And why is that. Well, when you hit a base hit,
you get it outside the enfield, right, and you get
to first base. There's no points scored, right, nothing exciting happens.
You just kind of get a you know, a lot
of times people get you know, cheer or get excited,
but not like a home run. Right. There's a difference
in the cheer for a base hit versus a home run.
And the reason is because the base hit isn't getting
(04:02):
an actual measurable result, right. There's no payoff for a
base hit. It is putting a player into position to
It's almost like getting ready to get ready, right, it's
getting into position to score. But what I love about
bass hits is that if you get four of them
(04:23):
in a row, and base hits are infinitely, like massively
more easy than a home run. Okay, I'm sure we
would all agree with that, right. That's why people get
way more base hits than they do home runs, so
that means they're easier. Okay, they're more achievable, far more achievable.
And if you get four base hits in a row,
that means doing the small and easy things consistently. And
(04:47):
by the way, I have to thank one of my
favorite people on the planet, Sa Temagali for teaching me
this because it changed my life and I'm trying to
use it to help you. If you hit four consistent
base hits in a row, that means you do the
small things consistently, not once in a while, right, not
when you feel like it, but when you do them consistently.
If you hit four base hits in a row, it's
(05:09):
equal to the same thing as one home run. And
what's really cool about doing base hits is that occasionally
you load the bases right and then all of a sudden,
in the effort to try to hit a base hit,
you end up hitting a home run, which is how
I hit home runs when I was a kid. You know,
in baseball, I wouldn't you know, I didn't focus on
(05:31):
hitting home runs. I just was desperate to just not
strike out, so I would I would just try to
get base hits all the time. And then I remember
the days that I would hit a home run. There
was always this moment of, oh, the ball's going over
the wall. It was always this fun, enjoyable shock of
what's happening. I remember the first home run I hit.
I just lost my mind because I was like, I'm
(05:52):
just trying to hit a base hit here. I didn't
know I was going to hit a home run. Right.
It's not the greatest feeling in the world. And so
when you're focusing on hitting base hits, you occasionally hit
home runs. But the point is that you're consistent. And
what I love about Pete Rose is that he has
the record, okay, for the most bass hits in Major
League Baseball history, and he beat out a guy named
(06:12):
Ty Cobb. And if you've ever if you've ever learned
anything about baseball, you know Taykob played a very long
time ago, long before Pete Rose did, which means that
record was around for quite a while. But it wasn't
when I met with Pete Rose. It wasn't his the
fact that he had more bass hits than Taykob that
impressed me. It was the fact that now by the
way he had about I think if you go look
(06:33):
it up, it's about three hundred. I think about three
hundred more base hits than ty Coob. It wasn't the
base hits that was so impressive, it was the at bats.
Pete Rose had a thousand more at bats than ty Cobb.
Right now, you might argue that maybe that meant that
he's not as good or as efficient as a batter,
(06:56):
you know, than ty Coob, because he had to go
to the plate so many more times in order to
get the base hits. But I would disagree. What is
impressive about Pete Rose's record is the fact that he
outworked Tycob. He lasted longer than ty Coob. I know
for a fact, because I know athletes, and I know
(07:19):
enough about Tykob to know that he didn't want to
stop playing baseball. He just did for whatever reason, right,
and neither did Pete. They didn't want to stop playing baseball.
These guys were like children. They're like kids, they just
want to play forever. And so that's the lesson I
want to share with you, is it. Pete Rose got
(07:39):
to the plate more than anybody else. He showed up
and he would tell me when I interviewed him, he
was telling me about how he was, like, there were
plenty times where he was hurt or sick, or not
feeling up to it or even not really in it,
you know, emotionally, But he showed up anyway, he got
to the plate anyway. That's how he did it. And
(08:00):
he literally said to me, he goes, Look, he's like, Eddie,
I'm not superhuman, you know, I'm just a guy who
had a job to do. He said that his first
few years in Major League Baseball he worked on one
year contracts, which means that in order for him to
make money, he had to work. He had to work.
(08:20):
And that's what I want you to think about, right,
bass hits doing things small every single day so that
you can show up. And when you show up consistently,
you give off the feeling of stability. Do you understand
that means you don't need to show up pretty, You
don't need to show up even like all together or
(08:42):
even with all the answers. Just please show up. Do videos,
do podcasts, do something, do classes, talk to people, follow up,
show up, stop taking breaks, right, and you will show off.
What's to ability really is simply showing up. Every day consistently.
(09:04):
I hope you got a lot of value from these
last few episodes. Right, be trustworthy, create hope, be compassionate,
and show stability, my friends, and you will be the
leader that you want to me. You will attract the
leaders into your world that you want to attract. And
so the best way to do that is to do
it authentically. In your strengths. Go to unleash your strengths

relationship builder, strategic, think you're an influencer. I have something
for you to help you get what you truly want
(09:49):
in this world. Have an awesome day and we'll see
you on the inside. All overe
