Good morning and welcome

to your morning cereal.

Okay, good morning and welcome to Monday.

I hope you had a great weekend

and thanks for joining morning cereal

to start off your week.

It's gonna be a great week,

but we're gonna start

it off with the fact

that today is work harder day.

Maybe not what you wanted

to hear, but let's explain.

This is not a grind yourself into the

ground kind of a way,

but in maybe more of a show up with

intention kind of way.

Well, here is the answer

to Friday's trivia question.

The minimum number of people

needed for a riot was three.

All right, well, now it's

time for the essential items

in your morning cereal with today's quote

and it is from Howard Stern who said,

when you work hard, it shows, end quote.

Now this is simple, but

the effort and dedication

you put into a task,

well, it's apparent to others

through the quality of your results or

through your character.

So keep putting in

the work, it'll pay off.

All right, well,

you've heard enough from me,

so let's pour in a little let

them theory from Mel Robbins.

And today we're opening chapter 15,

which is entitled unlock

the power of your influence.

All right, here,

Robbins begins by reminding us

that influence isn't about control.

It's about example.

She says, quote, your

influence is not what you say,

it's how you show up, end quote.

So whether you want it or

not, people are watching you.

She explains that influence grows

when you stop trying to change others

and you start just to

manage yourself, quote,

you cannot force transformation,

but you can model

what's possible, end quote.

Now that shift, it removes pressure

and it builds credibility for you.

Robbins also addresses the

quiet power of being consistent.

Influence doesn't require charisma, it

requires reliability.

People trust what

they see repeated, quote,

small behaviors repeated over time,

carry more influence than

big speeches, end quote.

So this chapter

encourages self-responsibility

over persuasion.

When you stop pushing people and you

start embodying things,

that's when people are

gonna start taking notice.

Now, not everyone will

follow and that's okay.

Influence isn't about being louder,

it's about being steady.

All right, your Monday

takeaway is influence grows

when you focus on who you're becoming,

not who you're trying to convince.

All right, well, hard work,

it doesn't need an audience,

it needs intention.

All right, now the prize

from the bottom of the box,

today's morning cereal trivia question.

What vitamin deficiency causes scurvy?

All right, I'll let you think on that,

but we will see you back

here tomorrow for that answer

and some more sugar for the soul.
