01:00:11,875 --> 01:00:13,208 I hope you had a great weekend 5 01:00:13,333 --> 01:00:15,000 and thanks for joining morning cereal 6 01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:16,125 to start off your week. 7 01:00:16,458 --> 01:00:18,333 It's gonna be a great week, 8 01:00:18,333 --> 01:00:19,333 but we're gonna start 9 01:00:19,333 --> 01:00:20,250 it off with the fact 10 01:00:20,250 --> 01:00:23,000 that today is work harder day. 11 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:23,666 Maybe not what you wanted 12 01:00:23,666 --> 01:00:24,666 to hear, but let's explain. 13 01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:26,875 This is not a grind yourself into the 14 01:00:26,875 --> 01:00:27,833 ground kind of a way, 15 01:00:27,916 --> 01:00:30,208 but in maybe more of a show up with 16 01:00:30,208 --> 01:00:31,583 intention kind of way. 17 01:00:32,375 --> 01:00:33,750 Well, here is the answer 18 01:00:33,750 --> 01:00:35,583 to Friday's trivia question. 19 01:00:36,458 --> 01:00:37,833 The minimum number of people 20 01:00:37,833 --> 01:00:40,958 needed for a riot was three. 21 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:43,083 All right, well, now it's 22 01:00:43,083 --> 01:00:44,458 time for the essential items 23 01:00:44,458 --> 01:00:46,208 in your morning cereal with today's quote 24 01:00:46,625 --> 01:00:49,208 and it is from Howard Stern who said, 25 01:00:49,750 --> 01:00:52,875 when you work hard, it shows, end quote. 26 01:00:53,500 --> 01:00:54,708 Now this is simple, but 27 01:00:54,708 --> 01:00:56,041 the effort and dedication 28 01:00:56,583 --> 01:00:58,125 you put into a task, 29 01:00:58,500 --> 01:00:59,791 well, it's apparent to others 30 01:01:00,041 --> 01:01:01,833 through the quality of your results or 31 01:01:01,833 --> 01:01:03,041 through your character. 32 01:01:03,500 --> 01:01:04,916 So keep putting in 33 01:01:04,916 --> 01:01:06,416 the work, it'll pay off. 34 01:01:06,875 --> 01:01:07,541 All right, well, 35 01:01:07,541 --> 01:01:08,416 you've heard enough from me, 36 01:01:08,416 --> 01:01:10,500 so let's pour in a little let 37 01:01:10,500 --> 01:01:12,000 them theory from Mel Robbins. 38 01:01:12,583 --> 01:01:14,875 And today we're opening chapter 15, 39 01:01:14,875 --> 01:01:16,583 which is entitled unlock 40 01:01:16,583 --> 01:01:18,500 the power of your influence. 41 01:01:18,916 --> 01:01:19,583 All right, here, 42 01:01:19,916 --> 01:01:21,916 Robbins begins by reminding us 43 01:01:21,916 --> 01:01:24,583 that influence isn't about control. 44 01:01:25,125 --> 01:01:26,458 It's about example. 45 01:01:26,958 --> 01:01:27,916 She says, quote, your 46 01:01:27,916 --> 01:01:30,083 influence is not what you say, 47 01:01:30,083 --> 01:01:31,708 it's how you show up, end quote. 48 01:01:32,208 --> 01:01:33,458 So whether you want it or 49 01:01:33,458 --> 01:01:35,291 not, people are watching you. 50 01:01:35,666 --> 01:01:37,708 She explains that influence grows 51 01:01:37,875 --> 01:01:39,791 when you stop trying to change others 52 01:01:40,250 --> 01:01:41,208 and you start just to 53 01:01:41,208 --> 01:01:42,458 manage yourself, quote, 54 01:01:43,041 --> 01:01:44,583 you cannot force transformation, 55 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:46,166 but you can model 56 01:01:46,166 --> 01:01:47,958 what's possible, end quote. 57 01:01:48,458 --> 01:01:51,083 Now that shift, it removes pressure 58 01:01:51,083 --> 01:01:52,833 and it builds credibility for you. 59 01:01:53,291 --> 01:01:54,791 Robbins also addresses the 60 01:01:54,791 --> 01:01:57,416 quiet power of being consistent. 61 01:01:58,333 --> 01:02:00,500 Influence doesn't require charisma, it 62 01:02:00,500 --> 01:02:02,041 requires reliability. 63 01:02:02,750 --> 01:02:03,583 People trust what 64 01:02:03,583 --> 01:02:05,208 they see repeated, quote, 65 01:02:05,875 --> 01:02:07,791 small behaviors repeated over time, 66 01:02:08,208 --> 01:02:10,083 carry more influence than 67 01:02:10,083 --> 01:02:11,583 big speeches, end quote. 68 01:02:12,166 --> 01:02:13,208 So this chapter 69 01:02:13,208 --> 01:02:15,583 encourages self-responsibility 70 01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:17,250 over persuasion. 71 01:02:17,833 --> 01:02:19,541 When you stop pushing people and you 72 01:02:19,541 --> 01:02:21,000 start embodying things, 73 01:02:21,291 --> 01:02:22,125 that's when people are 74 01:02:22,125 --> 01:02:23,166 gonna start taking notice. 75 01:02:23,750 --> 01:02:24,583 Now, not everyone will 76 01:02:24,583 --> 01:02:26,041 follow and that's okay. 77 01:02:26,833 --> 01:02:28,500 Influence isn't about being louder, 78 01:02:28,500 --> 01:02:29,666 it's about being steady. 79 01:02:30,333 --> 01:02:31,916 All right, your Monday 80 01:02:31,916 --> 01:02:34,333 takeaway is influence grows 81 01:02:34,541 --> 01:02:36,625 when you focus on who you're becoming, 82 01:02:36,666 --> 01:02:38,625 not who you're trying to convince. 83 01:02:39,458 --> 01:02:41,083 All right, well, hard work, 84 01:02:41,083 --> 01:02:42,500 it doesn't need an audience, 85 01:02:42,500 --> 01:02:43,625 it needs intention. 86 01:02:44,208 --> 01:02:45,041 All right, now the prize 87 01:02:45,041 --> 01:02:46,375 from the bottom of the box, 88 01:02:46,833 --> 01:02:49,083 today's morning cereal trivia question. 89 01:02:49,875 --> 01:02:53,208 What vitamin deficiency causes scurvy? 90 01:02:53,916 --> 01:02:55,458 All
