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.
