In this episode of “Shooting It Straight,” hosts Randy Black and Coach Jim Clayton dive into the critical difference between tools and habits, emphasizing that while tools can aid productivity, it’s the habits that truly drive success. Jim shares insights from his coaching experience, highlighting how habits form the foundation of personal growth and achievement. The discussion covers the importance of consistency, the pitfalls of relying too heavily on tools, and the need for a strong system of habits to support any tool’s effectiveness. They also explore how habits shape identity and provide motivation, using examples from sports and personal anecdotes.
Randy and Jim further illustrate their points by discussing real-life examples of successful individuals like Tim Ferriss, Warren Buffett, Serena Williams, and Jeff Bezos, who have achieved great success through disciplined habits rather than relying solely on tools. The episode concludes with actionable advice on building consistent habits and a reminder that while tools can enhance productivity, it’s the habits that lay the groundwork for lasting success. Join the conversation to learn how to harness the power of habits and keep “shooting it straight.”

Randy Black: Let’s get let’s cut straight to it, Jim.
32
00:01:51,440 –> 00:01:54,880
Randy Black: Are you being productive or are you just collecting tools?
33
00:01:54,880 –> 00:01:59,680
Randy Black: It’s easy to believe that the right app, the right calendar system, or the right piece of tech
34
00:02:00,220 –> 00:02:01,980
Randy Black: will fix everything.
35
00:02:01,980 –> 00:02:05,660
Randy Black: But the truth is, tools don’t create productivity.
36
00:02:05,660 –> 00:02:06,860
Randy Black: Habits do.
37
00:02:06,860 –> 00:02:12,940
Randy Black: Tools might make things smoother, but habits make things stick.
38
00:02:12,860 –> 00:02:16,060
Randy Black: So Jim, here’s the big question to kick us off.
39
00:02:16,060 –> 00:02:23,099
Randy Black: Can a tool ever make up for poor habits, or is it always habits that do the heavy lifting?
40
00:02:23,099 –> 00:02:24,060
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s the habits.
41
00:02:24,060 –> 00:02:27,099
Coach Jim Clayton: Tools don’t create productivity, habits do.
42
00:02:26,860 –> 00:02:29,660
Coach Jim Clayton: And habits are things that we do without thinking.
43
00:02:29,660 –> 00:02:30,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
44
00:02:30,060 –> 00:02:32,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Now you can have good habits, you can have bad habits.
45
00:02:32,860 –> 00:02:35,900
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, it’s just as hard to break a good habit as it is a bad habit.
46
00:02:35,900 –> 00:02:36,220
Randy Black: Yeah.
47
00:02:36,220 –> 00:02:36,780
Coach Jim Clayton: All right?
48
00:02:36,780 –> 00:02:38,380
Coach Jim Clayton: And the tools
49
00:02:38,540 –> 00:02:41,980
Coach Jim Clayton: And these systems that we’re talking about are essential for success.
50
00:02:41,980 –> 00:02:45,820
Coach Jim Clayton: But you’ve got to understand, habits are the real engine.
51
00:02:45,820 –> 00:02:49,260
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re the ones that keep you chugging down that road.
52
00:02:49,040 –> 00:02:50,320
Coach Jim Clayton: uh for personal growth.
53
00:02:50,320 –> 00:02:54,160
Coach Jim Clayton: So we’re always trying when we say personal growth, we’re trying to get what?
54
00:02:54,160 –> 00:02:55,440
Coach Jim Clayton: We’re trying to get better.
55
00:02:55,840 –> 00:02:56,320
Coach Jim Clayton: All right.
56
00:02:56,320 –> 00:02:58,880
Coach Jim Clayton: So you gotta have an engine that’s running
57
00:02:58,720 –> 00:03:05,120
Coach Jim Clayton: And you gotta make sure that engine is firing on all pistons and cylinders and everything is working the right way.
58
00:03:05,120 –> 00:03:06,239
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
59
00:03:06,239 –> 00:03:09,760
Coach Jim Clayton: Now, again, habits, you know
60
00:03:10,420 –> 00:03:16,340
Coach Jim Clayton: A system, or let me rephrase that, system is a collection of habits.
61
00:03:16,340 –> 00:03:20,020
Coach Jim Clayton: So if your system is good, you got a collection of what?
62
00:03:20,020 –> 00:03:20,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Good habits.
63
00:03:21,540 –> 00:03:24,740
Coach Jim Clayton: If your system is bad, well guess what?
64
00:03:24,740 –> 00:03:27,620
Coach Jim Clayton: You got a collection of bad habits.
65
00:03:27,620 –> 00:03:28,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
66
00:03:28,100 –> 00:03:28,900
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
67
00:03:28,900 –> 00:03:29,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Now
68
00:03:29,740 –> 00:03:36,460
Coach Jim Clayton: These tools that we’re talking about, these apps, all these little things that can help you, they’re just a singular resource.
69
00:03:36,460 –> 00:03:37,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Right
70
00:03:37,360 –> 00:03:40,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, a system is an overall process.
71
00:03:40,000 –> 00:03:40,560
Randy Black: Yeah.
72
00:03:40,560 –> 00:03:43,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Not a singular one-hit wonder.
73
00:03:43,280 –> 00:03:44,160
Coach Jim Clayton: You know what I mean?
74
00:03:44,160 –> 00:03:49,360
Coach Jim Clayton: This is something that goes on and on and it’s a process.
75
00:03:48,720 –> 00:03:52,640
Coach Jim Clayton: And a habit is a it’s a direct action.
76
00:03:53,280 –> 00:03:57,840
Coach Jim Clayton: People who have bad habits, we talked about this last week, you know what a lot of them do?
77
00:03:57,840 –> 00:04:00,560
Coach Jim Clayton: They go fall into that procrastination.
78
00:04:00,540 –> 00:04:01,420
Coach Jim Clayton: category.
79
00:04:01,420 –> 00:04:02,060
Randy Black: Yes.
80
00:04:02,060 –> 00:04:03,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
81
00:04:03,180 –> 00:04:05,180
Coach Jim Clayton: And we don’t want to do that.
82
00:04:05,180 –> 00:04:06,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
83
00:04:06,220 –> 00:04:10,140
Coach Jim Clayton: And y you know y you you here’s the big thing.
84
00:04:10,140 –> 00:04:11,100
Coach Jim Clayton: You fall
85
00:04:12,800 –> 00:04:15,040
Coach Jim Clayton: To the level of your systems.
86
00:04:15,040 –> 00:04:17,359
Coach Jim Clayton: You don’t rise to the level of your goals.
87
00:04:17,920 –> 00:04:20,000
Coach Jim Clayton: So whatever your system is
88
00:04:20,060 –> 00:04:22,460
Coach Jim Clayton: And again, that’s something that does what?
89
00:04:22,460 –> 00:04:30,060
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re going to keep using it, you’re going to revamp it, you’re going to repolish it, you’re going to add to it, you’re going to find the wrong things, the right things.
90
00:04:30,060 –> 00:04:30,699
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
91
00:04:31,020 –> 00:04:33,259
Coach Jim Clayton: But the bottom line in life is
92
00:04:33,340 –> 00:04:35,980
Coach Jim Clayton: Habits are going to direct you, not tools.
93
00:04:35,980 –> 00:04:40,140
Coach Jim Clayton: Those things that you have now, those are, you know what we I call another word for that sometimes?
94
00:04:40,140 –> 00:04:40,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Shortcuts.
95
00:04:40,940 –> 00:04:41,740
Randy Black: Yes.
96
00:04:41,740 –> 00:04:42,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Shortcuts.
97
00:04:42,860 –> 00:04:44,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, I’ll give you an example.
98
00:04:44,980 –> 00:04:46,900
Coach Jim Clayton: The guns.
99
00:04:46,900 –> 00:04:50,180
Coach Jim Clayton: The the machines out here that throw the ball back to you.
100
00:04:50,180 –> 00:04:50,900
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
101
00:04:50,900 –> 00:04:51,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
102
00:04:51,780 –> 00:04:54,580
Randy Black: Ex exp for somebody listening who may not know what that is.
103
00:04:54,660 –> 00:04:56,980
Randy Black: Kind of explain what it is so they get the picture in their head.
104
00:04:56,980 –> 00:04:58,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, the gun is a
105
00:04:58,300 –> 00:05:07,099
Coach Jim Clayton: It it’s a funnel system made up of a large net that when you shoot the ball, make or miss, it funnels into this net
106
00:05:07,360 –> 00:05:15,440
Coach Jim Clayton: drops down a shoot into a machine and then so many seconds, depending on where you’re on the quarter, where you want to be, it’ll throw the ball back to you.
107
00:05:15,440 –> 00:05:18,240
Coach Jim Clayton: So when you shoot it, you don’t have to chase it.
108
00:05:17,840 –> 00:05:18,880
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s coming back to you.
109
00:05:18,880 –> 00:05:22,320
Coach Jim Clayton: There’s four, three or four balls in the system at one time.
110
00:05:22,320 –> 00:05:24,240
Coach Jim Clayton: So they’re always shooting it back to you.
111
00:05:24,240 –> 00:05:26,240
Coach Jim Clayton: So you can actually get more reps.
112
00:05:26,240 –> 00:05:26,400
Randy Black: Okay.
113
00:05:26,560 –> 00:05:27,360
Coach Jim Clayton: All right.
114
00:05:27,360 –> 00:05:29,120
Coach Jim Clayton: But again, you know
115
00:05:29,360 –> 00:05:32,400
Coach Jim Clayton: I told the kids tonight, I said, you know, have you ever shot one?
116
00:05:32,400 –> 00:05:35,920
Coach Jim Clayton: And you just stood there and the ball came right back to you, like the perfect shot.
117
00:05:35,920 –> 00:05:38,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, there wasn’t no gun on that one.
118
00:05:38,620 –> 00:05:40,699
Coach Jim Clayton: You just hit the perfect shot.
119
00:05:40,699 –> 00:05:43,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Now that doesn’t happen very often.
120
00:05:43,020 –> 00:05:50,539
Coach Jim Clayton: It does for some people know what they’re doing, but for other people, it’ll hand them it it’ll happen every once in a while whether you do it right or not
121
00:05:50,900 –> 00:05:51,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
122
00:05:52,020 –> 00:05:56,020
Coach Jim Clayton: So, you know, what happens is these kids come in and they work on that gun.
123
00:05:56,020 –> 00:05:58,260
Coach Jim Clayton: They get 500, 600 shots.
124
00:05:58,420 –> 00:06:00,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Then they go home.
125
00:06:00,240 –> 00:06:02,080
Coach Jim Clayton: And they don’t touch a ball.
126
00:06:02,080 –> 00:06:02,880
Randy Black: Yeah.
127
00:06:02,880 –> 00:06:07,200
Coach Jim Clayton: They got a $3,000 goal sitting on their driveway.
128
00:06:07,200 –> 00:06:10,480
Coach Jim Clayton: They got the Taj Mahal courts.
129
00:06:10,440 –> 00:06:12,920
Coach Jim Clayton: And it’s out there with ghost players.
130
00:06:12,920 –> 00:06:13,480
Randy Black: Yeah.
131
00:06:13,480 –> 00:06:16,360
Coach Jim Clayton: So there’s no follow-up to that, okay?
132
00:06:16,360 –> 00:06:20,520
Coach Jim Clayton: And then they forget what you taught them because they don’t write stuff down.
133
00:06:20,520 –> 00:06:22,600
Coach Jim Clayton: We’ll talk about that later.
134
00:06:22,680 –> 00:06:23,720
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
135
00:06:23,720 –> 00:06:31,880
Coach Jim Clayton: And I mean it’s just, you know, what happens is they’re getting better by using some of these tools.
136
00:06:31,660 –> 00:06:33,580
Coach Jim Clayton: To help them get more reps.
137
00:06:33,580 –> 00:06:38,220
Coach Jim Clayton: But the process to be where they want to be is going to take a whole lot longer.
138
00:06:38,780 –> 00:06:40,460
Coach Jim Clayton: And that’s the biggest thing right there.
139
00:06:40,460 –> 00:06:41,980
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s the biggest thing.
140
00:06:42,440 –> 00:06:48,120
Randy Black: So you you did a really great job there defining the difference between a tool and a habit.
141
00:06:48,120 –> 00:06:50,280
Randy Black: And I really liked how you said that.
142
00:06:50,160 –> 00:06:54,640
Randy Black: Because it kind of guides us in our discussion with with what we’re looking at.
143
00:06:54,640 –> 00:07:01,760
Randy Black: Um, you know, habits, um, when you think about it, a habit is just that that repeated action you have every single day.
144
00:07:01,760 –> 00:07:04,960
Randy Black: And if you’re gonna be successful, you have to develop those.
145
00:07:04,720 –> 00:07:17,840
Randy Black: You know, things like taking your time to review your priorities, to to block in your time for what you’re working on, simply showing up consistently at the same time.
146
00:07:17,660 –> 00:07:21,020
Randy Black: Those are behaviors that really create some lasting results.
147
00:07:21,020 –> 00:07:26,140
Randy Black: Great examples of habits, but tools, your tools don’t necessarily make your habits.
148
00:07:26,140 –> 00:07:27,500
Randy Black: You know, you can have some great tools.
149
00:07:27,500 –> 00:07:32,300
Randy Black: You can have some task tracking apps like To-Doist and Microsoft To-Do.
150
00:07:31,600 –> 00:07:39,920
Randy Black: uh you can have some project management platforms you can have a digital calendar and heck even today now we have ai and you can have an AI assistant
151
00:07:40,500 –> 00:07:42,580
Randy Black: Those things promise to keep you organized.
152
00:07:42,580 –> 00:07:48,100
Randy Black: They promise to keep you on track and automate your work, but on the surface, that’s all they do.
153
00:07:48,100 –> 00:07:52,820
Randy Black: They don’t really help you to build in those habits to make those things part of what you’re doing.
154
00:07:52,479 –> 00:07:54,560
Randy Black: Oh yeah, because it’s a flash in the pan.
155
00:07:54,560 –> 00:07:55,680
Randy Black: Yeah.
156
00:07:55,680 –> 00:07:59,919
Randy Black: The tool the tool can amplify what you do
157
00:08:00,880 –> 00:08:04,960
Randy Black: But it can’t create the discipline on its own.
158
00:08:04,960 –> 00:08:12,720
Randy Black: The tool is only as effective as the habit you build that it supports and that you build to support using the tool.
159
00:08:12,720 –> 00:08:15,360
Randy Black: So from your perspective.
160
00:08:14,760 –> 00:08:17,240
Randy Black: And you might have hit on this a little bit already.
161
00:08:17,240 –> 00:08:24,200
Randy Black: How do you see someone relying mostly on tools versus someone who’s relying mostly on
162
00:08:24,560 –> 00:08:25,520
Randy Black: their habits.
163
00:08:25,520 –> 00:08:29,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so if you’re relying on a tool, what happens when that tool’s not there?
164
00:08:29,360 –> 00:08:31,199
Randy Black: Ah that’s the question.
165
00:08:31,199 –> 00:08:34,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, and a lot of those tools are technology based, right?
166
00:08:34,000 –> 00:08:37,520
Coach Jim Clayton: So how many times does technology get messed up?
167
00:08:36,740 –> 00:08:37,380
Coach Jim Clayton: A lot.
168
00:08:37,380 –> 00:08:37,860
Coach Jim Clayton: A lot.
169
00:08:37,860 –> 00:08:40,419
Coach Jim Clayton: So when it’s not there, what are you gonna do?
170
00:08:40,419 –> 00:08:41,060
Randy Black: Yeah.
171
00:08:41,060 –> 00:08:41,539
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
172
00:08:41,539 –> 00:08:44,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, it’s like it’s like almost like you’re a fake.
173
00:08:44,900 –> 00:08:46,900
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, fake it till you make it
174
00:08:47,120 –> 00:08:47,760
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
175
00:08:47,760 –> 00:08:50,320
Coach Jim Clayton: So you’re relying on something that’s not really you.
176
00:08:50,320 –> 00:08:51,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Your habits are you.
177
00:08:51,440 –> 00:08:53,519
Coach Jim Clayton: Your habits are the result of your choices.
178
00:08:53,519 –> 00:08:54,240
Randy Black: Right.
179
00:08:54,240 –> 00:08:57,040
Coach Jim Clayton: And you know the old saying, we are our choices.
180
00:08:57,920 –> 00:08:58,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
181
00:08:58,880 –> 00:09:04,639
Coach Jim Clayton: So it takes a lot of choices repeated what over and over and over again to where you do it without thinking.
182
00:09:04,800 –> 00:09:06,560
Coach Jim Clayton: See, a habit is something you do without thinking.
183
00:09:06,800 –> 00:09:09,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Whether it’s right or wrong, you do it without thinking.
184
00:09:09,040 –> 00:09:09,600
Coach Jim Clayton: Boom
185
00:09:09,560 –> 00:09:09,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
186
00:09:09,880 –> 00:09:11,160
Coach Jim Clayton: You don’t have to be talked into it.
187
00:09:11,160 –> 00:09:12,600
Coach Jim Clayton: You don’t want to be persuaded.
188
00:09:12,600 –> 00:09:13,880
Coach Jim Clayton: You just do it.
189
00:09:13,880 –> 00:09:14,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
190
00:09:14,520 –> 00:09:16,840
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, what if there’s nothing there for you to do
191
00:09:17,820 –> 00:09:20,700
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s why you see kids today, they just sit there and look at you.
192
00:09:20,700 –> 00:09:21,260
Randy Black: Yeah.
193
00:09:21,260 –> 00:09:27,420
Randy Black: Oh, I see I see it every day, like you know, say the internet goes down, the teacher doesn’t know what to do, the kids don’t know what to do.
194
00:09:27,579 –> 00:09:28,300
Randy Black: Oh yeah.
195
00:09:28,300 –> 00:09:30,540
Randy Black: Pull out some paper, pull out a pencil, let’s get to work.
196
00:09:30,540 –> 00:09:31,500
Coach Jim Clayton: What’s plan B?
197
00:09:31,500 –> 00:09:31,819
Randy Black: Yeah.
198
00:09:31,819 –> 00:09:33,100
Coach Jim Clayton: What happens if that don’t work?
199
00:09:33,100 –> 00:09:35,259
Coach Jim Clayton: What’s your what’s your options on the table?
200
00:09:35,500 –> 00:09:36,860
Coach Jim Clayton: See, some people have no options.
201
00:09:36,860 –> 00:09:38,139
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re in a dead end.
202
00:09:38,139 –> 00:09:38,459
Randy Black: Yeah.
203
00:09:38,459 –> 00:09:40,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Because relying on stuff that’s not really them.
204
00:09:41,920 –> 00:09:42,639
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
205
00:09:42,639 –> 00:09:50,639
Coach Jim Clayton: And, you know, it for is whether you’re successful or not, whatever you’re doing and how you’re doing it is on you.
206
00:09:50,639 –> 00:09:51,199
Randy Black: Yeah
207
00:09:51,100 –> 00:09:52,300
Coach Jim Clayton: It all depends on you.
208
00:09:52,300 –> 00:09:57,980
Coach Jim Clayton: You can’t rely on now these are great little assets to have when you need ’em.
209
00:09:57,980 –> 00:09:58,380
Randy Black: Yeah.
210
00:09:58,620 –> 00:10:00,139
Coach Jim Clayton: But you can’t bank on them.
211
00:10:00,139 –> 00:10:01,339
Randy Black: No, not at all.
212
00:10:01,339 –> 00:10:03,100
Coach Jim Clayton: No, it all comes down to
213
00:10:03,060 –> 00:10:04,260
Coach Jim Clayton: What you gonna do?
214
00:10:04,260 –> 00:10:08,100
Coach Jim Clayton: You know it always says it’s how you show up at the showdown accounts.
215
00:10:08,100 –> 00:10:09,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
216
00:10:09,300 –> 00:10:11,540
Coach Jim Clayton: So whatever you’re ready for?
217
00:10:11,459 –> 00:10:12,740
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s what’s gonna show up.
218
00:10:12,740 –> 00:10:15,300
Coach Jim Clayton: I don’t need to hit a button and wait, okay, wait till this loads.
219
00:10:15,300 –> 00:10:16,339
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, then I’ll know what to do.
220
00:10:16,580 –> 00:10:18,100
Coach Jim Clayton: No, I already know what to do.
221
00:10:19,980 –> 00:10:20,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
222
00:10:20,700 –> 00:10:28,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so people that are so used to these these things, okay, I wouldn’t want them to be making decisions in a crisis situation.
223
00:10:29,020 –> 00:10:30,860
Randy Black: No, I would worry.
224
00:10:30,860 –> 00:10:31,660
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh no
225
00:10:32,339 –> 00:10:34,819
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, so I mean that that’s the big thing.
226
00:10:34,819 –> 00:10:41,540
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean it it’s these things are all great and makes it easy, but when you really look at it, another word for that is old school.
227
00:10:42,019 –> 00:10:43,940
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m an old school guy
228
00:10:43,740 –> 00:10:45,180
Coach Jim Clayton: We never had tools.
229
00:10:45,180 –> 00:10:50,300
Coach Jim Clayton: If we had we had anything we were going to use, it was called creativity and imagination.
230
00:10:50,780 –> 00:10:52,140
Coach Jim Clayton: Those were our tools.
231
00:10:52,780 –> 00:10:54,780
Coach Jim Clayton: And we just went and did them.
232
00:10:54,780 –> 00:10:56,700
Coach Jim Clayton: We made them ourselves.
233
00:10:56,880 –> 00:11:06,880
Randy Black: So it that kind of leads us into the big question that we hear all the time when we’re talking about the idea of tools and habits, and it’s can a tool actually replace a habit or
234
00:11:07,160 –> 00:11:12,040
Randy Black: Does it just make a weak system that you’ve built look fancy?
235
00:11:12,040 –> 00:11:13,960
Randy Black: Here’s the reality.
236
00:11:13,960 –> 00:11:17,960
Randy Black: Tools are only as good as the habits that are behind them.
237
00:11:17,959 –> 00:11:25,240
Randy Black: You can have the most advanced app, the most detailed planner, the the flashiest, most amazing productivity system.
238
00:11:25,240 –> 00:11:27,399
Randy Black: But if you don’t consistently use it.
239
00:11:27,839 –> 00:11:29,360
Randy Black: It won’t do anything for you.
240
00:11:29,360 –> 00:11:30,800
Randy Black: You’ve wasted your time.
241
00:11:30,800 –> 00:11:32,240
Randy Black: So think about it.
242
00:11:32,240 –> 00:11:36,880
Randy Black: How many times have s have people out there downloaded or we’ve seen an app
243
00:11:37,220 –> 00:11:39,060
Randy Black: that is supposed to be so great.
244
00:11:39,060 –> 00:11:43,220
Randy Black: We set up this complicated workflow and we start using it.
245
00:11:43,220 –> 00:11:44,820
Randy Black: And after a week or two.
246
00:11:46,000 –> 00:11:49,600
Randy Black: That that shiny object trap has worn off.
247
00:11:49,600 –> 00:11:57,759
Randy Black: Tools amplify what you’re already doing, but they don’t create the discipline to act in the first place.
248
00:11:58,420 –> 00:12:10,500
Randy Black: So Jim, in your experience, what’s one of the most common mistakes that you’ve seen people make when they’re relying too heavily on the tools without building the habits to implement the tools?
249
00:12:10,259 –> 00:12:15,779
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, one of the biggest things is habits are something that take a while to develop.
250
00:12:15,779 –> 00:12:16,579
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
251
00:12:16,579 –> 00:12:17,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
252
00:12:17,220 –> 00:12:22,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Now, think about it is, is, when you learn right and you practice hard,
253
00:12:22,820 –> 00:12:25,300
Coach Jim Clayton: You will ultimately see the results you desire.
254
00:12:25,300 –> 00:12:26,500
Randy Black: Yes, I agree.
255
00:12:26,500 –> 00:12:32,260
Coach Jim Clayton: When you learn wrong and you don’t practice, wrong plus wrong makes twice as wrong.
256
00:12:31,959 –> 00:12:32,440
Randy Black: Yes.
257
00:12:32,440 –> 00:12:35,880
Coach Jim Clayton: And then you’re going to spend your life in repair because you did in prepair.
258
00:12:36,279 –> 00:12:39,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Now one of the big reasons we’ve already mentioned that is shortcuts.
259
00:12:39,320 –> 00:12:41,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Everybody’s looking to the shortcuts.
260
00:12:41,240 –> 00:12:43,080
Coach Jim Clayton: There are no shortcuts to success.
261
00:12:43,480 –> 00:12:46,200
Coach Jim Clayton: There’s no shortcuts to the top.
262
00:12:45,420 –> 00:12:49,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Everything in life that’s worthwhile is uphill.
263
00:12:49,180 –> 00:12:53,019
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s always going to be chudging going uphill, uphill.
264
00:12:53,019 –> 00:12:56,380
Coach Jim Clayton: But consistency to do things is the key.
265
00:12:56,060 –> 00:13:00,540
Coach Jim Clayton: See, most people are really inconsistent, but they want consistent results.
266
00:13:01,020 –> 00:13:04,380
Coach Jim Clayton: They won’t do it, but they want to act like they did it.
267
00:13:04,380 –> 00:13:07,340
Coach Jim Clayton: Or they want the results that come from doing it
268
00:13:07,160 –> 00:13:09,720
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, last time I checked, that doesn’t really happen.
269
00:13:09,720 –> 00:13:10,120
Randy Black: Yeah.
270
00:13:10,120 –> 00:13:11,160
Coach Jim Clayton: I can’t find that place.
271
00:13:11,160 –> 00:13:14,280
Coach Jim Clayton: I tell people all the time, when you find that place, here’s my number.
272
00:13:14,280 –> 00:13:14,840
Coach Jim Clayton: Call me.
273
00:13:14,840 –> 00:13:15,480
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m coming.
274
00:13:15,480 –> 00:13:15,880
Randy Black: Yeah.
275
00:13:15,880 –> 00:13:16,920
Coach Jim Clayton: But guess what?
276
00:13:16,920 –> 00:13:18,600
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m not waiting on your phone call.
277
00:13:18,920 –> 00:13:21,960
Coach Jim Clayton: Because the place really doesn’t doesn’t even exist.
278
00:13:22,200 –> 00:13:22,920
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
279
00:13:22,920 –> 00:13:26,279
Coach Jim Clayton: But the power of a habit is in how much to consistently use.
280
00:13:26,279 –> 00:13:26,440
Randy Black: Right.
281
00:13:26,680 –> 00:13:27,399
Coach Jim Clayton: Good or bad.
282
00:13:27,399 –> 00:13:30,279
Coach Jim Clayton: Now that’s not something that just normally happens.
283
00:13:30,220 –> 00:13:31,980
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re not born with that.
284
00:13:32,140 –> 00:13:33,340
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s developed.
285
00:13:33,340 –> 00:13:33,980
Randy Black: Right.
286
00:13:33,980 –> 00:13:34,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
287
00:13:34,940 –> 00:13:38,300
Coach Jim Clayton: And, you know, the one of the best ways to develop that is
288
00:13:39,840 –> 00:13:41,680
Coach Jim Clayton: Taste a little bit of success.
289
00:13:41,680 –> 00:13:44,560
Coach Jim Clayton: We talked about this earlier, about those little victories.
290
00:13:45,120 –> 00:13:46,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Success.
291
00:13:46,080 –> 00:13:46,640
Coach Jim Clayton: Success.
292
00:13:46,640 –> 00:13:49,120
Coach Jim Clayton: Not failure to failure to failure to failure.
293
00:13:49,120 –> 00:13:49,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
294
00:13:49,520 –> 00:13:50,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
295
00:13:50,160 –> 00:13:53,680
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean failure is a better way to begin again more intelligently.
296
00:13:53,680 –> 00:13:58,000
Coach Jim Clayton: But some people don’t have thick skin and as soon as they say something goes wrong, they bail.
297
00:13:58,000 –> 00:14:00,240
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re looking for somebody to bail them out.
298
00:14:00,140 –> 00:14:02,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, that’s not gonna happen in the game of life.
299
00:14:02,940 –> 00:14:03,500
Randy Black: Right.
300
00:14:03,500 –> 00:14:08,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so you know again, you can’t rely on those tools
301
00:14:08,160 –> 00:14:10,320
Coach Jim Clayton: You gotta rely on your habits.
302
00:14:10,640 –> 00:14:19,440
Coach Jim Clayton: And when you have put your heart and soul into those habits, see the deal is here, giving up
303
00:14:20,180 –> 00:14:21,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Ain’t an option.
304
00:14:21,380 –> 00:14:22,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
305
00:14:22,100 –> 00:14:25,860
Coach Jim Clayton: The more you put into it, the less likely you’re walking away.
306
00:14:26,820 –> 00:14:30,420
Coach Jim Clayton: The less you put into it, oh, it’s so much easier to walk away.
307
00:14:30,580 –> 00:14:31,140
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
308
00:14:31,360 –> 00:14:32,960
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, and that’s what people do.
309
00:14:32,960 –> 00:14:37,920
Coach Jim Clayton: Because I’m just telling you, people’s habits, man, they got some funky habits.
310
00:14:38,080 –> 00:14:39,360
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m just telling you.
311
00:14:39,360 –> 00:14:40,640
Coach Jim Clayton: They got funky habits.
312
00:14:40,640 –> 00:14:40,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
313
00:14:41,040 –> 00:14:42,640
Coach Jim Clayton: Because they have no system in place.
314
00:14:42,640 –> 00:14:44,400
Coach Jim Clayton: They’ve never developed a system
315
00:14:44,280 –> 00:14:47,800
Coach Jim Clayton: So it’s kind of like what they learn when they come to here to Sports City.
316
00:14:47,800 –> 00:14:52,440
Coach Jim Clayton: I have a system that teaches you how to grip the ball.
317
00:14:52,440 –> 00:14:56,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Because if you don’t hold so anytime there’s a ball, yeah, there’s a grip involved.
318
00:14:56,520 –> 00:14:58,520
Coach Jim Clayton: And if the grip is off.
319
00:14:58,259 –> 00:14:59,380
Coach Jim Clayton: The whole thing’s off.
320
00:14:59,380 –> 00:15:01,380
Coach Jim Clayton: The foundation’s off, okay?
321
00:15:01,380 –> 00:15:04,339
Coach Jim Clayton: And the footwork, the footwork is the foundation.
322
00:15:04,339 –> 00:15:05,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Where are we going?
323
00:15:05,060 –> 00:15:06,740
Coach Jim Clayton: A basketball court?
324
00:15:06,000 –> 00:15:06,720
Coach Jim Clayton: Guess what?
325
00:15:06,720 –> 00:15:08,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Your feet are going to take you there.
326
00:15:08,080 –> 00:15:08,560
Randy Black: Right.
327
00:15:08,560 –> 00:15:10,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Just like in life.
328
00:15:10,080 –> 00:15:11,600
Coach Jim Clayton: How’d we get up here?
329
00:15:11,600 –> 00:15:13,840
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, no elevator, nobody carried us up here.
330
00:15:13,840 –> 00:15:14,480
Coach Jim Clayton: We walked.
331
00:15:14,480 –> 00:15:16,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Our feet brought us up here.
332
00:15:16,320 –> 00:15:20,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so you gotta learn how to master that stuff.
333
00:15:20,000 –> 00:15:24,640
Coach Jim Clayton: And then going right, going left, all these little things are like Legos.
334
00:15:24,640 –> 00:15:26,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Habits are like Legos.
335
00:15:26,240 –> 00:15:26,640
Randy Black: Okay.
336
00:15:26,640 –> 00:15:27,760
Coach Jim Clayton: You connect them
337
00:15:28,660 –> 00:15:33,380
Coach Jim Clayton: And then all of a sudden when you get to something that’s not connected, that’s where it ends.
338
00:15:33,380 –> 00:15:33,779
Randy Black: Yeah.
339
00:15:33,940 –> 00:15:34,899
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s over.
340
00:15:34,899 –> 00:15:36,019
Coach Jim Clayton: Makes sense.
341
00:15:36,019 –> 00:15:39,940
Coach Jim Clayton: And so you guys keep adding and adding and adding.
342
00:15:39,600 –> 00:15:40,800
Coach Jim Clayton: And it’s like a branch.
343
00:15:40,800 –> 00:15:44,639
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, there’s a thick branch, but you ever notice these little ones that are going off of it?
344
00:15:44,639 –> 00:15:45,040
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
345
00:15:45,040 –> 00:15:46,800
Coach Jim Clayton: One of these days, guess what?
346
00:15:46,800 –> 00:15:48,560
Coach Jim Clayton: Those are gonna be thick branches.
347
00:15:48,560 –> 00:15:49,199
Randy Black: Yeah
348
00:15:49,160 –> 00:15:51,240
Coach Jim Clayton: But they didn’t start out that way.
349
00:15:51,240 –> 00:15:54,600
Coach Jim Clayton: And see, everybody wants to start out great.
350
00:15:54,600 –> 00:15:56,280
Coach Jim Clayton: And it’s just not going to happen.
351
00:15:56,760 –> 00:16:01,560
Coach Jim Clayton: And I don’t care whether it’s education, school, business, whatever
352
00:16:01,940 –> 00:16:07,540
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean your habits are going to they consistently shape your life and your results.
353
00:16:08,500 –> 00:16:12,020
Coach Jim Clayton: And, you know, you can’t occasionally do these things.
354
00:16:12,020 –> 00:16:12,500
Randy Black: Right.
355
00:16:12,640 –> 00:16:18,080
Coach Jim Clayton: These are things that need to be reproduced every single day.
356
00:16:18,080 –> 00:16:19,280
Randy Black: Yes.
357
00:16:19,280 –> 00:16:20,400
Randy Black: Exactly.
358
00:16:20,400 –> 00:16:24,880
Coach Jim Clayton: And again, when you do something every single day, what’s the definition of that
359
00:16:25,020 –> 00:16:25,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Consistency.
360
00:16:25,900 –> 00:16:26,140
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
361
00:16:26,140 –> 00:16:34,940
Randy Black: With without the habits, the tools are just a fancy list of reminders or or a fancy way of organizing everything together.
362
00:16:34,940 –> 00:16:36,780
Randy Black: You have to have the habit.
363
00:16:36,640 –> 00:16:39,040
Randy Black: to make it implement it and be successful.
364
00:16:39,040 –> 00:16:40,320
Randy Black: Here’s here’s an example.
365
00:16:40,320 –> 00:16:42,000
Randy Black: I used to work at Huntington High School.
366
00:16:42,000 –> 00:16:43,120
Randy Black: I was a sysop there.
367
00:16:43,120 –> 00:16:44,960
Randy Black: So I handled all the technology for Huntington High.
368
00:16:44,960 –> 00:16:49,760
Randy Black: That also meant I had to handle all the students and all their user accounts and everything with that
369
00:16:50,020 –> 00:16:57,620
Randy Black: And I worked very hard with the registrar, the secretary in the counseling department to have a system in place.
370
00:16:57,620 –> 00:17:02,580
Randy Black: We had a tool in place that when a student enrolled, there was a form she filled out.
371
00:17:02,440 –> 00:17:03,880
Randy Black: And it sent me an email.
372
00:17:03,880 –> 00:17:11,880
Randy Black: It also sent an email like if the kid was coming from another school in the county, it would email Jeff at Cabal Midland or Rhonda at
373
00:17:12,140 –> 00:17:15,740
Randy Black: Crossroads Academy and tell them this student has left you and enrolled with us.
374
00:17:15,740 –> 00:17:18,380
Randy Black: So they knew to expect this has happened.
375
00:17:18,380 –> 00:17:24,700
Randy Black: If the student left us and she filled it out, it would send an email to them and tell them this student is coming to you.
376
00:17:24,560 –> 00:17:26,240
Randy Black: If they were going in the county.
377
00:17:26,240 –> 00:17:27,600
Randy Black: And it was a great tool.
378
00:17:27,600 –> 00:17:29,200
Randy Black: It worked fantastic.
379
00:17:29,200 –> 00:17:33,040
Randy Black: But if I didn’t follow up with it every time I got the notification,
380
00:17:33,279 –> 00:17:36,480
Randy Black: Those accounts wouldn’t get moved, the accounts wouldn’t get created.
381
00:17:36,480 –> 00:17:43,440
Randy Black: I had to have the habit of checking that more multiple times a day to be able to make sure I was getting the things done.
382
00:17:43,440 –> 00:17:44,799
Randy Black: The tool is great.
383
00:17:44,840 –> 00:17:54,600
Randy Black: I did all the work on it, got it all set up, implemented, but if I didn’t follow through and have the habit of checking and looking at it, it was a waste of my time.
384
00:17:54,560 –> 00:17:56,080
Randy Black: It didn’t do any good.
385
00:17:56,080 –> 00:18:01,120
Randy Black: I had to be proactive and and build that habit to make sure I followed through on it.
386
00:18:01,120 –> 00:18:06,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, the follow-up, good point, good terminology, is the human side of it.
387
00:18:07,120 –> 00:18:10,800
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, the other stuff is technology side stuff.
388
00:18:10,800 –> 00:18:12,080
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s not human.
389
00:18:12,080 –> 00:18:12,640
Randy Black: Right.
390
00:18:12,880 –> 00:18:14,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Technology.
391
00:18:14,080 –> 00:18:15,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Now some human
392
00:18:15,919 –> 00:18:16,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Built it.
393
00:18:16,880 –> 00:18:17,520
Randy Black: Uh-huh.
394
00:18:17,520 –> 00:18:18,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
395
00:18:18,320 –> 00:18:21,919
Coach Jim Clayton: But you know a person could look at that machine I use for shooting.
396
00:18:21,919 –> 00:18:22,400
Randy Black: Right.
397
00:18:22,400 –> 00:18:23,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Which I’ve seen
398
00:18:23,940 –> 00:18:25,620
Coach Jim Clayton: A little boy out on a farm?
399
00:18:26,019 –> 00:18:28,659
Coach Jim Clayton: He did the same thing out of two by fours.
400
00:18:28,659 –> 00:18:30,019
Coach Jim Clayton: Exact same thing.
401
00:18:30,019 –> 00:18:34,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Built the whole machine out of two by fours shooting on a barn.
402
00:18:34,040 –> 00:18:39,800
Coach Jim Clayton: Now that boy used his, you know, his brain, his thinking skills.
403
00:18:39,800 –> 00:18:40,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
404
00:18:40,520 –> 00:18:43,240
Coach Jim Clayton: He didn’t have the money to buy one of those, so guess what?
405
00:18:43,240 –> 00:18:44,280
Coach Jim Clayton: He built one
406
00:18:44,519 –> 00:18:48,600
Coach Jim Clayton: And of the two who bought one and built one, who do you think gets more use out of it?
407
00:18:48,600 –> 00:18:49,720
Coach Jim Clayton: The guy that built it.
408
00:18:49,720 –> 00:18:50,120
Randy Black: Yeah.
409
00:18:50,120 –> 00:18:50,919
Coach Jim Clayton: 100%.
410
00:18:50,919 –> 00:18:51,720
Coach Jim Clayton: You know what I mean?
411
00:18:51,720 –> 00:18:52,519
Coach Jim Clayton: A hundred percent.
412
00:18:52,519 –> 00:18:53,159
Coach Jim Clayton: Definitely.
413
00:18:53,140 –> 00:18:58,500
Coach Jim Clayton: But uh yeah, man, I’m telling you, man, that that the human side of it, you gotta follow up.
414
00:18:58,500 –> 00:19:02,340
Coach Jim Clayton: So if I told people today, here’s a here’s a little exercise.
415
00:19:02,340 –> 00:19:07,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Go get your blank sheet of paper, put a line between down the middle, put habits, good habits, bad habits.
416
00:19:08,180 –> 00:19:11,140
Coach Jim Clayton: Take it, take a couple minutes, list your good habits.
417
00:19:11,860 –> 00:19:14,100
Coach Jim Clayton: List your bad habits.
418
00:19:14,100 –> 00:19:15,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Then look over all the good habits.
419
00:19:15,380 –> 00:19:16,500
Coach Jim Clayton: How’d I get those
420
00:19:17,019 –> 00:19:18,620
Coach Jim Clayton: How’d I get those?
421
00:19:19,340 –> 00:19:20,139
Coach Jim Clayton: Hmm.
422
00:19:20,139 –> 00:19:21,899
Coach Jim Clayton: What do I gotta do to fix it?
423
00:19:21,899 –> 00:19:25,019
Coach Jim Clayton: What can I do to take those good habits and make it even what?
424
00:19:25,400 –> 00:19:26,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Not good.
425
00:19:26,280 –> 00:19:26,840
Randy Black: Yeah.
426
00:19:26,840 –> 00:19:27,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Make it great.
427
00:19:27,880 –> 00:19:28,200
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
428
00:19:28,200 –> 00:19:31,000
Coach Jim Clayton: What I gotta do with those bad habits to reverse it.
429
00:19:31,000 –> 00:19:31,880
Coach Jim Clayton: You understand?
430
00:19:31,880 –> 00:19:32,200
Randy Black: Yeah.
431
00:19:32,200 –> 00:19:33,720
Coach Jim Clayton: So there’s the key word, reverse.
432
00:19:33,720 –> 00:19:39,960
Randy Black: And it well and it it goes back to what we the the quote we or the clip we used on the last episode with Mel Robbins talking about procrastination.
433
00:19:40,640 –> 00:19:43,200
Randy Black: Procrastination is a habit.
434
00:19:43,200 –> 00:19:46,480
Randy Black: You’ve developed that to handle stress.
435
00:19:46,880 –> 00:19:48,160
Randy Black: It’s a very simple thing.
436
00:19:48,160 –> 00:19:48,960
Randy Black: It’s a habit.
437
00:19:48,960 –> 00:19:51,200
Randy Black: And because it’s a habit, what can you do?
438
00:19:51,340 –> 00:19:52,299
Randy Black: You can change it.
439
00:19:52,299 –> 00:19:53,419
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, absolutely.
440
00:19:53,419 –> 00:20:00,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Now, again, speaking on terms of of things to do, how to how to how to reflect on where you are.
441
00:20:01,179 –> 00:20:03,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Those people don’t even know what their good habits they got.
442
00:20:03,580 –> 00:20:04,059
Randy Black: That’s true.
443
00:20:04,059 –> 00:20:05,419
Coach Jim Clayton: They can’t even write it down.
444
00:20:05,419 –> 00:20:06,059
Randy Black: Yeah.
445
00:20:06,280 –> 00:20:15,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so that kind of you gotta have uh and I’m a John Maxwell certified coach, and he’s like the leadership guru of the world.
446
00:20:15,960 –> 00:20:17,800
Coach Jim Clayton: So he talks about the rule of five.
447
00:20:17,800 –> 00:20:18,760
Randy Black: The rule okay, good.
448
00:20:18,760 –> 00:20:20,280
Randy Black: I was wanted to get I wanted to get to this.
449
00:20:20,280 –> 00:20:22,120
Coach Jim Clayton: I wanted to talk about this because I saw this in your notes.
450
00:20:23,620 –> 00:20:26,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Five daily activities that you need to do.
451
00:20:26,820 –> 00:20:27,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
452
00:20:27,860 –> 00:20:29,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Daily activities.
453
00:20:29,220 –> 00:20:29,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
454
00:20:29,780 –> 00:20:32,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Number one, you need to read something
455
00:20:32,820 –> 00:20:37,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, now what I read and what you read might not be the same.
456
00:20:37,300 –> 00:20:37,780
Randy Black: Right.
457
00:20:37,780 –> 00:20:40,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Because I’m reading things that
458
00:20:40,720 –> 00:20:41,840
Coach Jim Clayton: Ultimately what?
459
00:20:41,840 –> 00:20:45,120
Coach Jim Clayton: They they directly are in correlation with what I’m doing.
460
00:20:45,120 –> 00:20:45,840
Randy Black: Right.
461
00:20:45,840 –> 00:20:46,960
Coach Jim Clayton: The road I’m on.
462
00:20:46,960 –> 00:20:49,520
Coach Jim Clayton: My road and your road might not be the same road.
463
00:20:49,840 –> 00:20:51,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, which they’re not.
464
00:20:51,040 –> 00:20:54,240
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re in the technology world, that’s way above my pay grade.
465
00:20:54,240 –> 00:20:55,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
466
00:20:55,120 –> 00:21:07,360
Coach Jim Clayton: But reading, reading about people in this growth journey, reading about people about habits, reading about things that people have done that I never thought about doing that can help what I’m doing become even better.
467
00:21:08,140 –> 00:21:09,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
468
00:21:09,100 –> 00:21:10,540
Coach Jim Clayton: And you gotta read.
469
00:21:10,540 –> 00:21:13,180
Coach Jim Clayton: And and and things that are in your field.
470
00:21:13,180 –> 00:21:16,140
Coach Jim Clayton: Number two, you gotta write it down.
471
00:21:16,140 –> 00:21:17,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Write it down.
472
00:21:17,580 –> 00:21:19,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Ask kids tonight in class.
473
00:21:19,020 –> 00:21:21,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Do you got a basketball notebook?
474
00:21:21,100 –> 00:21:22,620
Coach Jim Clayton: No.
475
00:21:22,220 –> 00:21:24,220

476
00:21:24,300 –> 00:21:27,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Go to Dollar General, get your notebook and write basketball notebook.
477
00:21:27,500 –> 00:21:30,860
Coach Jim Clayton: When you leave out of here, write stuff down.
478
00:21:31,260 –> 00:21:35,340
Coach Jim Clayton: If I’m going out tomorrow and do a workout, write the workout down.
479
00:21:38,800 –> 00:21:40,240
Randy Black: You commit it to memory better.
480
00:21:40,240 –> 00:21:42,480
Randy Black: You commit it into your processor.
481
00:21:42,480 –> 00:21:43,680
Coach Jim Clayton: No question about it.
482
00:21:43,680 –> 00:21:45,520
Coach Jim Clayton: And if you can’t write it down, guess what?
483
00:21:45,520 –> 00:21:46,320
Coach Jim Clayton: You don’t know it.
484
00:21:47,040 –> 00:21:48,960
Coach Jim Clayton: Number three, think.
485
00:21:49,280 –> 00:21:51,120
Coach Jim Clayton: Reflection, planning.
486
00:21:51,120 –> 00:21:56,400
Coach Jim Clayton: In today’s world of multitasking, hustle and bustle, this and that, and everything else, guess what?
487
00:21:56,400 –> 00:21:58,160
Coach Jim Clayton: We don’t even have a chance to think.
488
00:21:58,160 –> 00:21:58,560
Randy Black: Yeah.
489
00:21:58,560 –> 00:22:00,880
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m talking about quiet time.
490
00:22:01,100 –> 00:22:05,740
Coach Jim Clayton: People can’t kisses, they can’t even go to bed without turning that phone off and they stay up all night.
491
00:22:05,740 –> 00:22:08,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Then they wonder why tomorrow they have a crappy day.
492
00:22:08,380 –> 00:22:09,179
Randy Black: Yeah.
493
00:22:09,179 –> 00:22:10,299
Coach Jim Clayton: Turn it off
494
00:22:11,340 –> 00:22:12,299
Coach Jim Clayton: Reflect.
495
00:22:12,299 –> 00:22:13,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Think on your own.
496
00:22:13,260 –> 00:22:16,220
Coach Jim Clayton: I got a shirt downstairs that says thinking is a skill.
497
00:22:16,220 –> 00:22:19,419
Coach Jim Clayton: Just like shooting, just like writing, just like lifting.
498
00:22:18,960 –> 00:22:23,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Just like driving a car, just like dribbling, just like hitting a golf.
499
00:22:23,280 –> 00:22:24,000
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s a skill.
500
00:22:24,000 –> 00:22:26,640
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, thinking, you gotta think those things to do it.
501
00:22:26,960 –> 00:22:27,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
502
00:22:27,440 –> 00:22:29,280
Coach Jim Clayton: And you gotta reflect today.
503
00:22:29,280 –> 00:22:31,120
Coach Jim Clayton: What did I do good today
504
00:22:30,960 –> 00:22:33,600
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s when I always start when I reflex, man, I had a good day.
505
00:22:33,600 –> 00:22:36,000
Coach Jim Clayton: What were three things I did good today?
506
00:22:36,000 –> 00:22:38,400
Coach Jim Clayton: What were the three things I didn’t do so good today?
507
00:22:38,960 –> 00:22:42,400
Coach Jim Clayton: What can I do tomorrow, you understand, to make those things better?
508
00:22:42,340 –> 00:22:42,820
Randy Black: Right.
509
00:22:42,820 –> 00:22:43,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
510
00:22:43,460 –> 00:22:44,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Tomorrow’s tomorrow.
511
00:22:44,580 –> 00:22:47,059
Coach Jim Clayton: 1201 starts tomorrow.
512
00:22:47,059 –> 00:22:49,140
Coach Jim Clayton: So those that’s what I do.
513
00:22:49,140 –> 00:22:50,179
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
514
00:22:50,179 –> 00:22:51,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Organize it.
515
00:22:51,919 –> 00:22:53,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Foul it.
516
00:22:53,200 –> 00:22:53,840
Randy Black: Yeah.
517
00:22:53,840 –> 00:22:57,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so if I’m talking about habits, I’m gonna have it under habits.
518
00:22:57,440 –> 00:23:00,720
Coach Jim Clayton: Talking about consistency, I’m gonna have it under the work consistency
519
00:23:01,120 –> 00:23:01,600
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
520
00:23:01,600 –> 00:23:06,320
Coach Jim Clayton: And they might inter l intersect a little bit on certain things, but I’m organized.
521
00:23:06,320 –> 00:23:07,840
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m not trying to find things.
522
00:23:07,840 –> 00:23:08,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
523
00:23:08,640 –> 00:23:14,160
Coach Jim Clayton: When you’re organized, everything’s more accessible to you at a quick point when you need it
524
00:23:13,860 –> 00:23:15,539
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, I got I know it’s around here somewhere.
525
00:23:15,539 –> 00:23:16,980
Coach Jim Clayton: Let me search for it.
526
00:23:16,980 –> 00:23:17,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
527
00:23:17,700 –> 00:23:20,659
Coach Jim Clayton: And then the last thing which nobody does.
528
00:23:20,659 –> 00:23:21,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Nobody.
529
00:23:21,380 –> 00:23:25,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Kids today, they oh, oh, they can’t ask questions.
530
00:23:25,380 –> 00:23:26,340
Randy Black: Yeah.
531
00:23:26,140 –> 00:23:30,220
Coach Jim Clayton: So when you ask a question, you engage in constant learning.
532
00:23:30,620 –> 00:23:32,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Because you’re seeking answers.
533
00:23:33,600 –> 00:23:36,400
Coach Jim Clayton: And you gotta say, you know, hey, I ask questions all the time.
534
00:23:36,400 –> 00:23:38,000
Coach Jim Clayton: I ask open-ended questions.
535
00:23:38,000 –> 00:23:41,840
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ll ask the question and leave the word out I want you to say.
536
00:23:41,840 –> 00:23:43,840
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, and then they look at you like
537
00:23:45,700 –> 00:23:49,060
Coach Jim Clayton: And then when I say it again, I’ll stop and go right back to that person.
538
00:23:49,060 –> 00:23:50,020
Coach Jim Clayton: They can answer it.
539
00:23:50,340 –> 00:23:52,020
Coach Jim Clayton: They can end the sentence.
540
00:23:52,020 –> 00:23:57,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so they’re following along with you, and they know what you’re going to say before you actually what?
541
00:23:57,720 –> 00:23:58,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Say it.
542
00:23:58,360 –> 00:23:59,160
Randy Black: Yeah.
543
00:23:59,160 –> 00:24:00,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
544
00:24:00,040 –> 00:24:06,440
Coach Jim Clayton: See, and and when you do those things, you read, you write, you think, you file it where you want it, and you ask questions.
545
00:24:06,440 –> 00:24:11,240
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean, my little grandkids, four and six, I say something, they go, Why?
546
00:24:11,220 –> 00:24:12,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Wow.
547
00:24:12,420 –> 00:24:13,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Wow.
548
00:24:13,380 –> 00:24:14,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
549
00:24:14,340 –> 00:24:15,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Wow.
550
00:24:15,060 –> 00:24:15,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Wow.
551
00:24:15,540 –> 00:24:17,620
Coach Jim Clayton: They always want to know why.
552
00:24:17,620 –> 00:24:18,660
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s great.
553
00:24:18,660 –> 00:24:19,380
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
554
00:24:19,720 –> 00:24:25,000
Randy Black: And it’s but it you know the sad part the sad part is most of these most kids they lose that.
555
00:24:25,000 –> 00:24:25,880
Coach Jim Clayton: They do lose.
556
00:24:25,880 –> 00:24:26,680
Coach Jim Clayton: You know why?
557
00:24:26,680 –> 00:24:30,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Because we choked the creativity out of them by telling them what to do.
558
00:24:29,500 –> 00:24:29,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Yep.
559
00:24:29,820 –> 00:24:35,100
Coach Jim Clayton: I remember the last one of the last things I did when I was in school where I said, okay, here’s I I passed them all a blank sheet of paper.
560
00:24:35,100 –> 00:24:37,340
Coach Jim Clayton: And I said, here’s five things.
561
00:24:37,340 –> 00:24:39,020
Coach Jim Clayton: You can write this down.
562
00:24:39,020 –> 00:24:40,860
Coach Jim Clayton: I want as criteria
563
00:24:41,580 –> 00:24:46,700
Coach Jim Clayton: I want it to have this in it, this in it, this in it, this in it, this.
564
00:24:46,700 –> 00:24:50,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Now I want you to create a picture.
565
00:24:51,280 –> 00:24:55,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Whatever you think of where you can put all these five things together.
566
00:24:55,280 –> 00:24:56,720
Coach Jim Clayton: Maybe something you like to do.
567
00:24:56,720 –> 00:24:59,920
Coach Jim Clayton: Some of you guys might like engines or this or this or whatever.
568
00:24:59,920 –> 00:25:02,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Doesn’t have to be, and they and then I’ll side say, you got it?
569
00:25:02,480 –> 00:25:05,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Those are the five things I want to see in there.
570
00:25:05,580 –> 00:25:07,900
Coach Jim Clayton: All right, no go get it.
571
00:25:07,900 –> 00:25:09,820
Coach Jim Clayton: And then some that they start.
572
00:25:09,820 –> 00:25:11,900
Coach Jim Clayton: And some just sit there and look at you.
573
00:25:11,900 –> 00:25:15,500
Coach Jim Clayton: After about five seconds, six seconds, I go, what are you looking at?
574
00:25:15,740 –> 00:25:17,260
Coach Jim Clayton: What’s wrong?
575
00:25:17,260 –> 00:25:18,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, I don’t know what to do.
576
00:25:18,300 –> 00:25:20,460
Coach Jim Clayton: You got to tell us what to do.
577
00:25:20,460 –> 00:25:21,900
Coach Jim Clayton: I already told you.
578
00:25:21,900 –> 00:25:22,700
Randy Black: Yeah.
579
00:25:22,700 –> 00:25:24,380
Coach Jim Clayton: I didn’t tell you what I wanted.
580
00:25:24,380 –> 00:25:28,300
Coach Jim Clayton: I want you to create it, but somehow incorporate these things in.
581
00:25:28,300 –> 00:25:28,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh
582
00:25:29,620 –> 00:25:31,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Then I give an example.
583
00:25:32,020 –> 00:25:33,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh.
584
00:25:33,060 –> 00:25:34,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Then they start to do it.
585
00:25:37,300 –> 00:25:40,420
Randy Black: You get the teacher that gives them this open-ended assignment.
586
00:25:40,340 –> 00:25:41,780
Randy Black: You know, like that.
587
00:25:41,780 –> 00:25:46,260
Randy Black: And they start giving them examples of what to do and they just do the example.
588
00:25:46,260 –> 00:25:46,900
Randy Black: Oh yeah.
589
00:25:46,900 –> 00:25:47,299
Randy Black: Yeah.
590
00:25:47,299 –> 00:25:48,900
Randy Black: Oh, you could make a PowerPoint.
591
00:25:48,900 –> 00:25:49,380
Randy Black: Got it.
592
00:25:49,380 –> 00:25:52,179
Randy Black: Every kid does a PowerPoint because it’s the first example they named.
593
00:25:52,179 –> 00:25:55,059
Randy Black: You know, it’s and it happens all the time.
594
00:25:54,460 –> 00:26:02,460
Randy Black: It and it goes back to and I you know, little off topic, but it goes back to this this um this graphic that I found years ago
595
00:26:02,360 –> 00:26:05,880
Randy Black: And it talked about technology usage in the classroom.
596
00:26:05,880 –> 00:26:10,360
Randy Black: And it said that technology is not an outcome
597
00:26:11,360 –> 00:26:12,800
Randy Black: Technology is not new.
598
00:26:12,800 –> 00:26:14,400
Randy Black: The goal should not be to make a PowerPoint.
599
00:26:14,400 –> 00:26:18,320
Randy Black: The goal should not be to create a presentation on Prezi or Google Slides.
600
00:26:18,320 –> 00:26:20,480
Randy Black: It should not be to create a video.
601
00:26:20,960 –> 00:26:23,600
Randy Black: It should not be to whatever.
602
00:26:23,720 –> 00:26:30,040
Randy Black: The goal is use PowerPoint to raise awareness on this topic.
603
00:26:30,040 –> 00:26:35,320
Randy Black: Use the video you’re producing to teach someone how to do this skill.
604
00:26:35,640 –> 00:26:39,320
Randy Black: Technology is not the out is not the the outcome, it’s the tool.
605
00:26:39,320 –> 00:26:40,600
Randy Black: It’s the same idea.
606
00:26:40,600 –> 00:26:44,840
Randy Black: We have all these great tools, but our habits have to use those to get the outcome.
607
00:26:44,840 –> 00:26:48,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh yeah, see, so I would do a PowerPoint and I’d leave certain things out
608
00:26:48,740 –> 00:26:52,580
Coach Jim Clayton: I give them a bold statement and I go, ABC.
609
00:26:52,580 –> 00:26:54,580
Coach Jim Clayton: They go, why come there’s nothing in the ABC?
610
00:26:54,580 –> 00:26:56,900
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, because you’re we’re going to decide what those are
611
00:26:57,120 –> 00:27:08,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Tell me something that we could put in there that relates to, and I’d say a subject, that I know three or four kids are really good at in the class.
612
00:27:08,220 –> 00:27:10,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Well guess what I’m expecting?
613
00:27:10,220 –> 00:27:12,140
Coach Jim Clayton: An answer from those three or four kids.
614
00:27:12,620 –> 00:27:14,220
Coach Jim Clayton: And then they’ll give me an answer one of them.
615
00:27:15,700 –> 00:27:18,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Now who can give me another answer based on something else there?
616
00:27:18,179 –> 00:27:20,500
Coach Jim Clayton: They give me, start giving me now that it’s called feedback.
617
00:27:20,899 –> 00:27:24,260
Coach Jim Clayton: And then all of a sudden I look up and I say, hold up a minute.
618
00:27:24,260 –> 00:27:27,299
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh there we I thought you said there was nothing in there
619
00:27:28,600 –> 00:27:30,760
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, well we put something in it.
620
00:27:30,760 –> 00:27:31,880
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s exactly right.
621
00:27:31,880 –> 00:27:32,600
Randy Black: Yeah.
622
00:27:32,600 –> 00:27:33,880
Coach Jim Clayton: We put something in it.
623
00:27:33,880 –> 00:27:35,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Or really I didn’t.
624
00:27:35,160 –> 00:27:35,880
Coach Jim Clayton: You did.
625
00:27:35,880 –> 00:27:36,520
Randy Black: Yeah
626
00:27:36,720 –> 00:27:38,400
Coach Jim Clayton: You put something in there.
627
00:27:38,400 –> 00:27:38,800
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
628
00:27:38,800 –> 00:27:41,360
Randy Black: So You didn’t just give them the knowledge.
629
00:27:41,360 –> 00:27:41,760
Coach Jim Clayton: Exactly.
630
00:27:42,160 –> 00:27:43,840
Randy Black: You led them to find it.
631
00:27:43,840 –> 00:27:45,200
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s exactly right.
632
00:27:44,960 –> 00:27:50,160
Coach Jim Clayton: So every action that that kid took right there is a vote for their type of person they want to be.
633
00:27:50,160 –> 00:27:51,920
Coach Jim Clayton: So they’re voting for themselves.
634
00:27:51,920 –> 00:27:55,920
Coach Jim Clayton: Now what no one’s more qualified to be you than you, so vote for you.
635
00:27:55,920 –> 00:27:56,560
Randy Black: Yeah
636
00:27:56,560 –> 00:27:59,120
Coach Jim Clayton: But see, again, it comes back to confidence.
637
00:27:59,120 –> 00:28:02,400
Coach Jim Clayton: And, you know, again, choices.
638
00:28:02,400 –> 00:28:06,160
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re scared because they’re thinking what I might say might sound dumb.
639
00:28:06,160 –> 00:28:07,840
Coach Jim Clayton: There are no dumb answers.
640
00:28:08,200 –> 00:28:09,480
Coach Jim Clayton: No, there aren’t.
641
00:28:09,480 –> 00:28:11,160
Coach Jim Clayton: This is an opinionated thing.
642
00:28:11,160 –> 00:28:13,160
Coach Jim Clayton: What do you think?
643
00:28:13,160 –> 00:28:14,040
Coach Jim Clayton: You know?
644
00:28:14,040 –> 00:28:16,360
Coach Jim Clayton: And I mean i it’s amazing.
645
00:28:16,360 –> 00:28:21,400
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean, I I was watching a thing on TV where they were talking about Labor Day
646
00:28:22,160 –> 00:28:24,960
Coach Jim Clayton: And they went to the beach, bunch of college kids.
647
00:28:25,520 –> 00:28:28,160
Coach Jim Clayton: What is Labor Day?
648
00:28:28,160 –> 00:28:31,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Uh uh these are college kids, right?
649
00:28:31,440 –> 00:28:33,840
Coach Jim Clayton: Asking them questions that
650
00:28:34,800 –> 00:28:39,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh my God, if if I was their parents and I saw that on TV.
651
00:28:39,040 –> 00:28:39,760
Randy Black: Yeah.
652
00:28:39,760 –> 00:28:40,720
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh my God.
653
00:28:41,600 –> 00:28:45,200
Randy Black: I s when I see that stuff, it worries me because
654
00:28:45,760 –> 00:28:51,039
Randy Black: I was a soul studies teacher, and this is stuff we talked about, things that I’m I made sure we illustrated.
655
00:28:51,039 –> 00:28:52,320
Randy Black: This is what this day is for.
656
00:28:52,320 –> 00:28:53,919
Randy Black: This is what this day is about.
657
00:28:53,919 –> 00:28:58,720
Randy Black: And that makes me realize that I may have been one of the few people doing it.
658
00:28:59,280 –> 00:29:00,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh my gosh.
659
00:29:00,320 –> 00:29:01,920
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean it’s unbelievable.
660
00:29:01,920 –> 00:29:07,520
Coach Jim Clayton: But you see, everybody today focuses, you know, on the outcome.
661
00:29:07,520 –> 00:29:07,920
Randy Black: Yeah.
662
00:29:08,160 –> 00:29:08,720
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
663
00:29:08,960 –> 00:29:11,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Focus on what you want to be.
664
00:29:11,780 –> 00:29:18,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, now that all the outcome you might change two or three ways along I mean you know my dad said you’re gonna be engineer.
665
00:29:18,580 –> 00:29:22,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Everybody in my family’s in I said no I’m not yes you are I hate math
666
00:29:22,179 –> 00:29:23,220
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m not doing it.
667
00:29:23,220 –> 00:29:23,700
Randy Black: Yeah.
668
00:29:23,700 –> 00:29:25,299
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m gonna do what I wanna do.
669
00:29:25,299 –> 00:29:25,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
670
00:29:25,700 –> 00:29:26,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Well guess what?
671
00:29:26,740 –> 00:29:29,460
Coach Jim Clayton: I wasn’t an engineer.
672
00:29:29,460 –> 00:29:30,900
Coach Jim Clayton: I wasn’t an engineer.
673
00:29:30,900 –> 00:29:31,220
Randy Black: Right
674
00:29:31,640 –> 00:29:35,480
Coach Jim Clayton: And the lady that got me into doing t teaching, that was the worst class.
675
00:29:35,480 –> 00:29:36,600
Coach Jim Clayton: I hated that class one in the city.
676
00:29:36,760 –> 00:29:38,600
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah, you told you you told us all about it.
677
00:29:38,600 –> 00:29:39,480
Coach Jim Clayton: It was Okay
678
00:29:39,860 –> 00:29:50,340
Coach Jim Clayton: And and and your these habits that we’re talking about, and these this confidence and this focus and this vote for you, all these things, they they shape your identity.
679
00:29:50,340 –> 00:29:50,980
Randy Black: Yeah
680
00:29:51,240 –> 00:29:56,680
Coach Jim Clayton: And they also provide the motivation and bam, the motivation to continue it.
681
00:29:56,840 –> 00:29:57,560
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
682
00:29:57,560 –> 00:30:01,480
Coach Jim Clayton: See what motivates people to continue growing?
683
00:30:01,419 –> 00:30:07,179
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, if they hit that wall, you know it’s John Maxwell calls it the law of the lid.
684
00:30:07,179 –> 00:30:09,179
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, you put your hand down
685
00:30:09,000 –> 00:30:14,760
Coach Jim Clayton: If I put my hand right there, I don’t care how hard you work, you’re gonna hit the lid.
686
00:30:14,760 –> 00:30:16,520
Coach Jim Clayton: But when I raise the lid, guess what?
687
00:30:16,520 –> 00:30:18,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Now you can come up to the lid.
688
00:30:18,680 –> 00:30:20,440
Coach Jim Clayton: So what’s your lid?
689
00:30:20,440 –> 00:30:21,080
Randy Black: Yeah
690
00:30:21,160 –> 00:30:23,960
Coach Jim Clayton: So start small, build up to that lid.
691
00:30:23,960 –> 00:30:24,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Then what?
692
00:30:24,840 –> 00:30:25,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Raise the ball.
693
00:30:25,720 –> 00:30:26,760
Coach Jim Clayton: You call it a bar.
694
00:30:26,760 –> 00:30:27,000
Randy Black: Yeah.
695
00:30:27,000 –> 00:30:28,600
Coach Jim Clayton: The lid, the bar, I don’t care what you call it.
696
00:30:28,920 –> 00:30:32,280
Randy Black: Some people might even say that it, you know, use that the term and I hate it as the
697
00:30:32,200 –> 00:30:35,639
Randy Black: You know, it’s that glass ceiling that you’re trying to break through, you’re trying to get through it.
698
00:30:35,639 –> 00:30:36,919
Randy Black: It’s the same idea, same concept.
699
00:30:37,159 –> 00:30:38,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, there’s no question about it.
700
00:30:46,640 –> 00:30:55,920
Randy Black: You know, the idea is that you you don’t build up your tools.
701
00:30:56,740 –> 00:30:59,460
Randy Black: To fit your habits.
702
00:30:59,460 –> 00:31:00,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah, it’s the other way around.
703
00:31:00,900 –> 00:31:02,260
Randy Black: Or no, you build you you build you.
704
00:31:02,340 –> 00:31:03,700
Randy Black: Sorry, I said that wrong.
705
00:31:04,179 –> 00:31:06,820
Randy Black: Your tools should fit with your habits.
706
00:31:06,820 –> 00:31:09,700
Randy Black: Your habits shouldn’t fit with your tools
707
00:31:09,820 –> 00:31:11,180
Randy Black: So like here’s an example.
708
00:31:11,180 –> 00:31:12,620
Randy Black: Let’s say, and I know this is you.
709
00:31:12,620 –> 00:31:14,140
Randy Black: You’re a pen and paper guy.
710
00:31:14,140 –> 00:31:15,020
Randy Black: You write things down.
711
00:31:15,020 –> 00:31:19,100
Randy Black: I mean I cleaned up a lot of stuff up here the other when I moved the table and stuff around the other day.
712
00:31:19,260 –> 00:31:19,740
Coach Jim Clayton: What do you say?
713
00:31:19,820 –> 00:31:20,620
Randy Black: But there it’s everywhere.
714
00:31:20,620 –> 00:31:21,580
Randy Black: There’s paper all over the place.
715
00:31:21,580 –> 00:31:22,860
Randy Black: You’re constantly writing things down.
716
00:31:22,860 –> 00:31:24,140
Randy Black: That’s that’s how you
717
00:31:24,440 –> 00:31:26,760
Randy Black: work your way through your thought process.
718
00:31:26,760 –> 00:31:33,000
Randy Black: If I said, Jim, you got to stop and you start typing it in on this program, we’re you’re gonna fall flat on your face.
719
00:31:33,000 –> 00:31:36,440
Randy Black: Not because you’re not trying, because I know you’d try, but that’s not you.
720
00:31:36,440 –> 00:31:37,880
Randy Black: That’s not how you work
721
00:31:38,120 –> 00:31:50,440
Randy Black: So it’s the idea that you have to make sure that your tools fit your habit, not your habit being forced to accept your tools.
722
00:31:50,640 –> 00:31:51,440
Randy Black: 100%.
723
00:31:51,680 –> 00:31:52,720
Randy Black: You’re 100% correct.
724
00:31:54,560 –> 00:31:57,680
Randy Black: Stop and ask yourself, what is working for me already?
725
00:31:57,680 –> 00:32:00,720
Randy Black: What do I already do that can make this work?
726
00:32:00,720 –> 00:32:05,280
Randy Black: And then add tools to those habits to strengthen them.
727
00:32:05,080 –> 00:32:05,640
Randy Black: Absolutely.
728
00:32:05,640 –> 00:32:06,520
Randy Black: Build them up.
729
00:32:06,840 –> 00:32:13,720
Randy Black: The goal is to create a workflow for yourself that feels natural, not forced.
730
00:32:13,720 –> 00:32:14,120
Randy Black: Yeah.
731
00:32:14,680 –> 00:32:15,880
Randy Black: Oh, you’re you’re dead on it.
732
00:32:16,120 –> 00:32:19,960
Randy Black: And it and then that and that all falls right along in with that.
733
00:32:19,540 –> 00:32:21,540
Randy Black: That rule of five that we just talked about.
734
00:32:21,540 –> 00:32:23,460
Randy Black: It goes right along in that whole pra thing.
735
00:32:23,460 –> 00:32:24,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, there’s no question about it.
736
00:32:24,820 –> 00:32:28,500
Coach Jim Clayton: And again, when you have these habits, how do you manage them?
737
00:32:28,500 –> 00:32:29,460
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
738
00:32:29,800 –> 00:32:30,760
Coach Jim Clayton: You know what I mean?
739
00:32:30,760 –> 00:32:33,240
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean, t tools gotta fit what you’re doing.
740
00:32:33,240 –> 00:32:37,160
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean that’s the natural progression when that happens.
741
00:32:37,560 –> 00:32:38,600
Coach Jim Clayton: You naturally do that.
742
00:32:38,600 –> 00:32:40,120
Coach Jim Clayton: So don’t go against gravity
743
00:32:40,240 –> 00:32:40,800
Randy Black: Yeah.
744
00:32:40,800 –> 00:32:44,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, you don’t win very very much in in in that situation.
745
00:32:44,560 –> 00:32:47,840
Coach Jim Clayton: Because i i it when you go against that it’s almost like I’m forcing you.
746
00:32:47,840 –> 00:32:50,080
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m not trying to force it on anybody.
747
00:32:50,179 –> 00:32:57,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, but I know if you’ll just stick with something, my mama used to always say, be like a posty staff, stick to something till you get there.
748
00:32:58,160 –> 00:33:00,960
Coach Jim Clayton: And I say I say that’s the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life.
749
00:33:00,960 –> 00:33:03,680
Coach Jim Clayton: But the truth of the matter is it’s not really that dumb.
750
00:33:04,720 –> 00:33:06,720
Coach Jim Clayton: But some people can’t stick to nothing.
751
00:33:06,720 –> 00:33:07,040
Randy Black: Right
752
00:33:07,800 –> 00:33:08,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
753
00:33:08,520 –> 00:33:12,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Because they’re always looking for a way out because it’s all forced.
754
00:33:12,280 –> 00:33:14,040
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s not natural.
755
00:33:14,040 –> 00:33:14,680
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah
756
00:33:15,260 –> 00:33:18,620
Coach Jim Clayton: And I think that’s that’s just that’s just huge.
757
00:33:18,700 –> 00:33:28,780
Randy Black: You know, the biggest the biggest principle, like when we look at this and we talk about our tools and our habits, the biggest principle in all this is we really need to just keep it simple.
758
00:33:28,080 –> 00:33:30,640
Randy Black: Oh, you know, you talk yeah, kiss, keep it simple, stupid.
759
00:33:30,640 –> 00:33:39,040
Randy Black: Not that we’re saying someone’s stupid as we talked about last week, but it’s it’s the idea that keeping it simple makes it that much easier for you.
760
00:33:38,760 –> 00:33:46,600
Randy Black: If you make things that are complicated and convoluted and full of this all this stuff, like you know, something as simple as a sticky note
761
00:33:46,740 –> 00:33:47,380
Randy Black: Think about it.
762
00:33:47,620 –> 00:33:54,260
Randy Black: How many times have you wrote some sticky note and stuck it on the fridge or stuck it on your desk or stuck it on your monitor because you know you’ll see it
763
00:33:54,200 –> 00:33:58,279
Randy Black: You know, a lot of people, they keep a count, an actual planner book, a calendar.
764
00:33:58,279 –> 00:33:59,159
Randy Black: They write things down.
765
00:33:59,159 –> 00:34:00,519
Randy Black: I put stuff on my phone.
766
00:34:00,519 –> 00:34:01,320
Randy Black: That’s my method.
767
00:34:01,320 –> 00:34:03,960
Randy Black: That’s how I do it, because I’m looking at that all the time.
768
00:34:03,940 –> 00:34:07,539
Randy Black: You know, even something as simple as how do I end my day?
769
00:34:07,539 –> 00:34:12,659
Randy Black: How do I sit down at night and say, okay, what was today like?
770
00:34:12,559 –> 00:34:14,480
Randy Black: What can I do tomorrow to make it better?
771
00:34:14,480 –> 00:34:18,079
Randy Black: What can I do from today to keep making it better tomorrow?
772
00:34:18,079 –> 00:34:19,359
Randy Black: That whole routine.
773
00:34:19,359 –> 00:34:27,279
Randy Black: Something like that can be so much more effective than going out and paying $30 a month for an app to try to keep yourself organized.
774
00:34:27,240 –> 00:34:29,399
Randy Black: It’s the simple things that get you there.
775
00:34:29,399 –> 00:34:36,040
Coach Jim Clayton: And if you’re paying $30 for that app and that’s not something that you really do that’s in your natural flow, guess what
776
00:34:35,880 –> 00:34:39,000
Coach Jim Clayton: You’ll still be paying that $30 and you’re gonna get nothing for it.
777
00:34:39,000 –> 00:34:39,640
Randy Black: Yes.
778
00:34:39,640 –> 00:34:40,760
Coach Jim Clayton: Absolutely nothing.
779
00:34:41,080 –> 00:34:43,000
Coach Jim Clayton: But you talk about sticky notes.
780
00:34:43,000 –> 00:34:46,600
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ll tell you, when I was growing up, coming through the ranks where I was starting to
781
00:34:46,559 –> 00:34:47,919
Coach Jim Clayton: Get things going a little bit.
782
00:34:47,919 –> 00:34:50,399
Coach Jim Clayton: I had sticky notes all over my house.
783
00:34:50,559 –> 00:34:56,639
Coach Jim Clayton: The first one of the first real purchases I wanted a red Land Rover Discovery
784
00:34:56,540 –> 00:34:57,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Old school.
785
00:34:57,580 –> 00:34:58,140
Randy Black: Yeah.
786
00:34:58,140 –> 00:35:00,460
Coach Jim Clayton: And I found a picture of it out of Colorado.
787
00:35:00,460 –> 00:35:01,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Never forget it.
788
00:35:01,500 –> 00:35:04,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Took the picture, put it on sticky note.
789
00:35:04,620 –> 00:35:05,820
Coach Jim Clayton: I put it everywhere I went.
790
00:35:05,820 –> 00:35:07,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Went to the bathroom
791
00:35:06,600 –> 00:35:07,320
Coach Jim Clayton: There it was.
792
00:35:07,320 –> 00:35:07,960
Coach Jim Clayton: Went over here.
793
00:35:07,960 –> 00:35:08,520
Coach Jim Clayton: There it was.
794
00:35:08,520 –> 00:35:09,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Went over here.
795
00:35:09,160 –> 00:35:09,960
Coach Jim Clayton: There it was.
796
00:35:09,960 –> 00:35:12,440
Coach Jim Clayton: And where I looked, guess what I saw?
797
00:35:12,440 –> 00:35:13,960
Coach Jim Clayton: And it kept me on that trap.
798
00:35:13,960 –> 00:35:15,640
Coach Jim Clayton: And then one day, guess what?
799
00:35:16,280 –> 00:35:18,520
Coach Jim Clayton: I went up there and got it.
800
00:35:18,320 –> 00:35:20,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Now it wasn’t on a sticky note anymore.
801
00:35:20,240 –> 00:35:21,440
Coach Jim Clayton: It was in my driveway.
802
00:35:21,440 –> 00:35:21,920
Randy Black: Yeah.
803
00:35:21,920 –> 00:35:24,880
Coach Jim Clayton: And I do that on, you say that’s kind of a dumb thing too.
804
00:35:24,960 –> 00:35:26,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Hey, it’s just that little thing.
805
00:35:26,240 –> 00:35:28,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Keep your eye on the prize.
806
00:35:28,820 –> 00:35:33,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Keep your eyes in front of you on your path that you want to go.
807
00:35:33,300 –> 00:35:39,140
Coach Jim Clayton: And it’s a small little thing, but boy, does it yield huge results
808
00:35:38,940 –> 00:35:40,540
Coach Jim Clayton: And that’s what I did.
809
00:35:40,540 –> 00:35:46,540
Coach Jim Clayton: And everything that I put on sticky note that I’ve wanted, I’ve gotten.
810
00:35:46,540 –> 00:35:47,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Good.
811
00:35:47,340 –> 00:35:48,780
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ve worked to get it.
812
00:35:48,780 –> 00:35:52,620
Coach Jim Clayton: I might take me a year, two years, three years to get it, but guess what?
813
00:35:53,260 –> 00:35:55,660
Coach Jim Clayton: Doesn’t matter when or how it matters I got it.
814
00:35:55,660 –> 00:35:56,300
Randy Black: Yeah
815
00:35:56,000 –> 00:35:57,680
Coach Jim Clayton: So I finished the story.
816
00:35:57,680 –> 00:35:58,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
817
00:35:58,000 –> 00:35:59,360
Randy Black: You set you set the goal.
818
00:35:59,360 –> 00:36:00,480
Randy Black: And I went and hit it.
819
00:36:00,480 –> 00:36:05,040
Randy Black: You you used your habits and the tools available to you to content to build those habits.
820
00:36:04,760 –> 00:36:06,200
Randy Black: And and and achieve that.
821
00:36:06,200 –> 00:36:08,520
Coach Jim Clayton: And that’s the stuff that keeps keep keeps me creative.
822
00:36:08,760 –> 00:36:11,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Like my pen is working as fast as my brain.
823
00:36:11,560 –> 00:36:14,360
Coach Jim Clayton: I can’t type that fast and I can’t text very fast.
824
00:36:14,360 –> 00:36:16,040
Coach Jim Clayton: So guess what?
825
00:36:16,040 –> 00:36:18,200
Coach Jim Clayton: My fingers and my brain ain’t in sync.
826
00:36:19,220 –> 00:36:21,059
Coach Jim Clayton: So I’m gonna forget stuff.
827
00:36:21,059 –> 00:36:21,859
Randy Black: Yeah.
828
00:36:21,859 –> 00:36:22,740
Coach Jim Clayton: That I’m thinking.
829
00:36:22,740 –> 00:36:25,460
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s why I always keep a right next to my desk, guess what?
830
00:36:27,340 –> 00:36:31,420
Coach Jim Clayton: 3 30 in the morning, I’ll come up with some of my best ideas at 3 30 in the morning.
831
00:36:31,420 –> 00:36:31,580
Randy Black: Yeah.
832
00:36:32,060 –> 00:36:33,900
Randy Black: Wake up in the middle of the night like, oh I gotta write this down.
833
00:36:33,900 –> 00:36:34,460
Coach Jim Clayton: And guess what?
834
00:36:34,460 –> 00:36:38,060
Coach Jim Clayton: I said to myself before, I’ll I’ll remember that in the morning
835
00:36:37,859 –> 00:36:39,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Then I can’t remember and I’ll never remember.
836
00:36:39,540 –> 00:36:40,740
Randy Black: Yeah, it happens.
837
00:36:40,820 –> 00:36:47,859
Coach Jim Clayton: So if I write it down, sometimes I might have to look at it a couple of times to see what I wrote ’cause I might be about half asleep.
838
00:36:47,260 –> 00:36:50,940
Randy Black: But then you gotta get it to your brain to spark that idea again.
839
00:36:50,940 –> 00:36:51,660
Randy Black: Yeah.
840
00:36:51,660 –> 00:36:53,100
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, you gotta do that.
841
00:36:53,100 –> 00:36:59,340
Coach Jim Clayton: And and again it comes I you know it’s you have to harp on it, but it’s just something that it’s a daily thing.
842
00:36:59,340 –> 00:36:59,980
Randy Black: Yeah
843
00:37:00,320 –> 00:37:02,400
Randy Black: And how do you manage these habits?
844
00:37:02,400 –> 00:37:02,880
Randy Black: Exactly.
845
00:37:03,120 –> 00:37:04,320
Randy Black: And that’s where I want to go.
846
00:37:04,320 –> 00:37:05,760
Randy Black: I’m looking at your notes.
847
00:37:05,760 –> 00:37:06,160
Randy Black: Okay.
848
00:37:06,160 –> 00:37:09,120
Randy Black: And on your notes, you have how to manage your habits.
849
00:37:09,120 –> 00:37:09,520
Randy Black: Yes.

00:37:09,520 –> 00:37:11,120
Randy Black: Big heading at the top of the page.
851
00:37:11,120 –> 00:37:11,920
Randy Black: Yep.
852
00:37:11,660 –> 00:37:12,940
Randy Black: Go through let’s start going through that.
853
00:37:12,940 –> 00:37:13,900
Randy Black: Let’s talk about that.
854
00:37:13,900 –> 00:37:14,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
855
00:37:14,540 –> 00:37:19,100
Coach Jim Clayton: So one, you gotta ask as y you assess your habits.
856
00:37:19,180 –> 00:37:20,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Already told you that.
857
00:37:20,220 –> 00:37:20,700
Randy Black: Yep.
858
00:37:20,700 –> 00:37:21,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Make a list.
859
00:37:21,420 –> 00:37:21,820
Coach Jim Clayton: What’s that?
860
00:37:21,980 –> 00:37:22,860
Coach Jim Clayton: List your good ones.
861
00:37:23,100 –> 00:37:25,420
Coach Jim Clayton: List your list your list your bad ones.
862
00:37:25,420 –> 00:37:26,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
863
00:37:26,340 –> 00:37:28,660
Coach Jim Clayton: Now, here’s what I’m going to say.
864
00:37:28,660 –> 00:37:30,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Enhance the good ones.
865
00:37:30,420 –> 00:37:30,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh.
866
00:37:31,060 –> 00:37:31,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
867
00:37:31,540 –> 00:37:32,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Enhance the good ones.
868
00:37:32,580 –> 00:37:33,140
Coach Jim Clayton: Make them better.
869
00:37:33,140 –> 00:37:37,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Look for ways to strengthen and build on the positive ones.
870
00:37:36,840 –> 00:37:40,520
Coach Jim Clayton: The negative ones usually are things that are not that important to you.
871
00:37:40,520 –> 00:37:41,880
Randy Black: Right.
872
00:37:41,880 –> 00:37:43,720
Coach Jim Clayton: Not things you’re not good at.
873
00:37:43,720 –> 00:37:46,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Again, back on the key word, procrastination.
874
00:37:46,520 –> 00:37:47,320
Randy Black: Yeah.
875
00:37:47,260 –> 00:37:49,900
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re not good at it, so you put it on the back burner.
876
00:37:50,460 –> 00:37:52,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, enhance the good ones.
877
00:37:52,460 –> 00:37:54,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Get rid and eliminate the bad ones.
878
00:37:54,620 –> 00:37:56,300
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s just time killers.
879
00:37:56,300 –> 00:37:56,940
Randy Black: Yeah
880
00:37:56,960 –> 00:38:00,560
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re spinning your wheels on something that’s never going to produce results.
881
00:38:00,560 –> 00:38:00,960
Randy Black: Yeah.
882
00:38:01,280 –> 00:38:03,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Bad return on your investment.
883
00:38:03,840 –> 00:38:07,440
Randy Black: But the thing is, though, that may be one of the hardest things you have to do.
884
00:38:07,440 –> 00:38:08,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, no question.
885
00:38:08,320 –> 00:38:09,760
Coach Jim Clayton: But see, nobody does that.
886
00:38:09,760 –> 00:38:11,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
887
00:38:10,340 –> 00:38:14,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, they talk about it, but there’s no call to action.
888
00:38:14,500 –> 00:38:19,060
Coach Jim Clayton: You got to put it down, check it off, check, check, check, check, check, check, check.
889
00:38:19,540 –> 00:38:22,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Again, and tackle them one at a time.
890
00:38:22,599 –> 00:38:24,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, we all have them.
891
00:38:24,440 –> 00:38:25,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
892
00:38:25,000 –> 00:38:26,200
Coach Jim Clayton: We all have downhill.
893
00:38:26,200 –> 00:38:27,400
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean you can call them good or bad.
894
00:38:27,400 –> 00:38:29,240
Coach Jim Clayton: I call them downhill and uphill habits.
895
00:38:29,240 –> 00:38:29,640
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
896
00:38:29,640 –> 00:38:31,560
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s a better way of saying good and bad.
897
00:38:31,560 –> 00:38:32,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Makes sense.
898
00:38:32,200 –> 00:38:32,760
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
899
00:38:32,760 –> 00:38:35,960
Coach Jim Clayton: And your thoughts decide those things, man.
900
00:38:35,540 –> 00:38:39,940
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, and we got we got some different types of downhill habits.
901
00:38:39,940 –> 00:38:40,980
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
902
00:38:40,980 –> 00:38:43,540
Coach Jim Clayton: And you gotta know what those things are.
903
00:38:43,540 –> 00:38:44,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
904
00:38:44,900 –> 00:38:47,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Uh, you know, here’s a downhill habit.
905
00:38:48,500 –> 00:38:49,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
906
00:38:49,060 –> 00:38:51,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, it’s not going very well.
907
00:38:51,780 –> 00:38:53,940
Randy Black: Ah, I hear that all the time.
908
00:38:53,940 –> 00:38:57,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Things aren’t quite going the way I envisioned them.
909
00:38:58,100 –> 00:38:59,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
910
00:38:59,340 –> 00:39:03,580
Coach Jim Clayton: That means maybe what you’re doing, okay, again, we talk about learning things.
911
00:39:03,580 –> 00:39:05,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Where’s the application?
912
00:39:05,180 –> 00:39:06,060
Randy Black: Yeah.
913
00:39:06,060 –> 00:39:07,740

Coach Jim Clayton: So it’s been almost, it’s been a week.
918
00:39:16,800 –> 00:39:23,040
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, tell me something cool you learned in schooling.

00:39:23,120 –> 00:39:24,480
Coach Jim Clayton: I haven’t heard one yet.
920
00:39:25,040 –> 00:39:26,880
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, well, let me give you a cool thing.
921
00:39:26,880 –> 00:39:27,680
Randy Black: Yeah.
922
00:39:27,680 –> 00:39:29,520

00:39:34,280 –> 00:39:35,800
Coach Jim Clayton: Eighth grade, ninth grade.
926
00:39:35,800 –> 00:39:36,200
Randy Black: Correct.
927
00:39:36,360 –> 00:39:39,560
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, I’m I just gave you a check for a million bucks.
928
00:39:40,360 –> 00:39:41,640
Coach Jim Clayton: What are you gonna do with it?
929
00:39:43,620 –> 00:39:45,460
Coach Jim Clayton: And the room got silent.
930
00:39:45,460 –> 00:39:45,700
Randy Black: Yeah.
931
00:39:45,700 –> 00:39:46,660
Randy Black: They’re not sure how to read it.
932
00:39:46,820 –> 00:39:47,940
Coach Jim Clayton: I just gave you me doors.
933
00:39:47,940 –> 00:39:50,100
Coach Jim Clayton: You are all now millionaires.
934
00:39:50,100 –> 00:39:52,260
Coach Jim Clayton: What are you gonna do with it?
935
00:39:52,260 –> 00:39:56,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Uh uh They don’t know what to do with it
936
00:39:56,520 –> 00:39:58,839
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, I’m gonna put it in the bank.
937
00:39:58,839 –> 00:39:59,560
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
938
00:39:59,560 –> 00:40:00,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Hmm.
939
00:40:00,200 –> 00:40:03,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Well the government’s gonna get you ever heard of a thing called taxes?
940
00:40:03,320 –> 00:40:05,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh yeah, I’ve heard of that.

00:40:05,000 –> 00:40:07,800
Coach Jim Clayton: Uh well the government’s gonna get 50% of it
942
00:40:08,640 –> 00:40:09,840
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
943
00:40:09,840 –> 00:40:12,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, what could I do?
944
00:40:12,560 –> 00:40:14,960
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, I could maybe invest it.
945
00:40:14,960 –> 00:40:17,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, I could put it in my savings account.
946
00:40:16,800 –> 00:40:18,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, don’t touch it for 50 years.
947
00:40:18,320 –> 00:40:23,040
Coach Jim Clayton: You’ll probably have a little bit of money, but what you’re going to learn is in a savings account there’s not a lot of growth.
948
00:40:23,040 –> 00:40:23,760
Randy Black: Nope.
949
00:40:23,760 –> 00:40:26,080
Coach Jim Clayton: There is some, and it’s safe.
950
00:40:26,160 –> 00:40:28,400
Randy Black: Very, very low interest rates.
951
00:40:28,400 –> 00:40:31,040
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s safe to an extent.
952
00:40:30,340 –> 00:40:32,500
Coach Jim Clayton: But it only covers so much money.
953
00:40:32,500 –> 00:40:33,620
Coach Jim Clayton: It don’t cover million.
954
00:40:33,620 –> 00:40:35,620
Coach Jim Clayton: It only covers 250,000.
955
00:40:35,620 –> 00:40:38,340
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, hold on, where’s my other 750?
956
00:40:38,340 –> 00:40:40,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, okay, so
957
00:40:40,440 –> 00:40:44,359
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, what about investing in a foundation?
958
00:40:44,359 –> 00:40:45,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Well what’s that?
959
00:40:45,240 –> 00:40:47,079
Coach Jim Clayton: They have no clue what to do.
960
00:40:47,079 –> 00:40:52,760
Coach Jim Clayton: What about about I mean so here’s the bottom line, but it they said, man, it’s cool that you’d give me a hundred a million dollars
961
00:40:53,360 –> 00:40:55,840
Coach Jim Clayton: But see, but you don’t know what to do with you.
962
00:40:55,840 –> 00:40:59,840
Coach Jim Clayton: Some of you don’t even know cool from being a fool.
963
00:40:59,840 –> 00:41:00,800
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
964
00:41:00,800 –> 00:41:02,960
Coach Jim Clayton: They don’t even know what cool is.
965
00:41:03,040 –> 00:41:05,040
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, but again
966
00:41:06,619 –> 00:41:09,579
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, you gotta that’s the education part.
967
00:41:09,579 –> 00:41:14,539
Coach Jim Clayton: I still have yet to hear somebody say, well, we just learned math and we did some things like that stuff.
968
00:41:14,539 –> 00:41:16,299
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, well that ain’t cool
969
00:41:18,120 –> 00:41:19,640
Coach Jim Clayton: Well not that.
970
00:41:19,640 –> 00:41:20,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
971
00:41:20,440 –> 00:41:23,240
Coach Jim Clayton: If I give you meat, now what about the math that goes with that meat?
972
00:41:23,240 –> 00:41:27,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Well that’s cool because then I’m gonna be able to do s do some things I want.
973
00:41:27,080 –> 00:41:28,120
Coach Jim Clayton: I say, yeah.
974
00:41:27,780 –> 00:41:28,339
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
975
00:41:28,339 –> 00:41:37,220
Randy Black: I told I I told you I talked to my son on the way up here this evening and you know he’s he’s in the marching band for the first time as a senior.
976
00:41:37,040 –> 00:41:40,000
Randy Black: So he’s, you know, this is all new experiences for him.
977
00:41:40,000 –> 00:41:44,800
Randy Black: And when he was talking with me, he’s like I asked him how things went today with school and
978
00:41:44,760 –> 00:41:46,680
Randy Black: Up with band practice and everything after school.
979
00:41:46,680 –> 00:41:50,520
Randy Black: He’s like, well, he’s like, we got the fourth movement down, the fourth song’s down.
980
00:41:50,520 –> 00:41:52,920
Randy Black: We we did it, we worked our way through it
981
00:41:52,500 –> 00:41:54,100
Randy Black: We’ve got most of it complete.
982
00:41:54,100 –> 00:41:56,100
Randy Black: He’s like, we actually worked all the way through.
983
00:41:56,100 –> 00:41:57,780
Randy Black: We got through the entire show.
984
00:41:57,780 –> 00:41:58,900
Randy Black: And he was excited.
985
00:41:58,900 –> 00:42:00,020
Randy Black: He’s like, this was really fun.
986
00:42:00,020 –> 00:42:01,780
Randy Black: He’s like, we were actually doing this.
987
00:42:01,780 –> 00:42:03,620
Randy Black: And he was excited about it.
988
00:42:03,620 –> 00:42:06,900
Randy Black: For him, that was something cool he did at school, something he learned this week.
989
00:42:06,900 –> 00:42:07,860
Randy Black: And it was new.
990
00:42:07,860 –> 00:42:08,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
991
00:42:08,820 –> 00:42:11,300
Coach Jim Clayton: See, so you know, when kids
992
00:42:18,760 –> 00:42:19,720
Randy Black: That’s an exit strategy.
993
00:42:19,720 –> 00:42:21,240
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s an exit strategy because
994
00:42:21,359 –> 00:42:25,599
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, you ain’t even allowed the good things to happen.
995
00:42:25,920 –> 00:42:28,960
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so here you use your son, for example.
996
00:42:28,960 –> 00:42:30,880
Coach Jim Clayton: All the grueling things
997
00:42:30,740 –> 00:42:37,220
Coach Jim Clayton: All summer, the band camp, the asphalt training, all that stuff which was not fun, fun, fun, fun.
998
00:42:37,220 –> 00:42:40,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Now all of a sudden all that’s coming to what?
999
00:42:40,020 –> 00:42:41,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Fruit and
1000
00:42:41,200 –> 00:42:43,440
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s coming to the top, it’s coming to the surface.
1001
00:42:43,440 –> 00:42:47,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Now all of it’s coming together, and now it’s fun to push it all together.
1002
00:42:47,280 –> 00:42:48,079
Randy Black: Yeah.
1003
00:42:48,079 –> 00:42:53,680
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, that’s why amazing is not always amazing.
1004
00:42:54,240 –> 00:42:58,640
Coach Jim Clayton: The journey to be amazing is never usually amazing.
1005
00:42:58,640 –> 00:42:59,680
Randy Black: It’s rough.
1006
00:42:59,680 –> 00:43:01,280
Coach Jim Clayton: It is tough.
1007
00:43:01,280 –> 00:43:02,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1008
00:43:02,080 –> 00:43:05,600
Coach Jim Clayton: But you can’t learn to navigate a ship
1009
00:43:05,700 –> 00:43:11,140
Coach Jim Clayton: on tough waters by getting in a rowboat and rowing around the lake.
1010
00:43:12,420 –> 00:43:14,100
Coach Jim Clayton: It just doesn’t work that way.
1011
00:43:14,420 –> 00:43:19,540
Coach Jim Clayton: And so a lot of people have already thrown in the towel before it ever even gets to the good things.
1012
00:43:20,140 –> 00:43:20,859
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1013
00:43:20,859 –> 00:43:24,220
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re not anticipating the positive outcome.
1014
00:43:24,220 –> 00:43:24,859
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1015
00:43:24,859 –> 00:43:26,619
Coach Jim Clayton: Because they’re not engaged in it.
1016
00:43:27,099 –> 00:43:28,539
Coach Jim Clayton: You got to engage in something.
1017
00:43:28,539 –> 00:43:31,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Engagement and energy is by people that are what?
1018
00:43:31,740 –> 00:43:32,779
Coach Jim Clayton: Passionate people.
1019
00:43:33,540 –> 00:43:36,420
Coach Jim Clayton: I don’t think kids they are passionate about nothing.
1020
00:43:36,420 –> 00:43:37,700
Randy Black: Yeah, a lot of them.
1021
00:43:40,100 –> 00:43:42,980
Coach Jim Clayton: When’s the last time a parent asked a child, hey, you know what?
1022
00:43:42,980 –> 00:43:44,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Let me ask you a question
1023
00:43:44,680 –> 00:43:47,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Is there anything that you really get excited about doing?
1024
00:43:47,880 –> 00:43:49,560
Coach Jim Clayton: Like you’re really passionate about it?
1025
00:43:49,560 –> 00:43:53,320
Coach Jim Clayton: If you could do anything and passionate about it, what would you really like to do?
1026
00:43:53,880 –> 00:43:56,200
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s called a conversation with your kid.
1027
00:43:58,140 –> 00:44:00,620
Coach Jim Clayton: I don’t think Paris had that many conversations.
1028
00:44:00,620 –> 00:44:02,700
Coach Jim Clayton: I think it’s the it’s like you shouldn’t have done this.
1029
00:44:02,940 –> 00:44:04,700
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s the after-the-fact conversation.
1030
00:44:04,700 –> 00:44:05,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1031
00:44:05,020 –> 00:44:07,900
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, why don’t we have the before fact conversation?
1032
00:44:08,839 –> 00:44:10,920
Coach Jim Clayton: Then we don’t have to get to after the fact.
1033
00:44:12,040 –> 00:44:12,839
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1034
00:44:13,160 –> 00:44:23,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Because sometimes when you have the before fact conversation about this stuff, when they do it, which sometimes they’ll do it anyway, you just look at them and go, mm-hmm.
1035
00:44:22,420 –> 00:44:25,540
Coach Jim Clayton: And they think, God, he already told me that was gonna happen.
1036
00:44:26,500 –> 00:44:30,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Maybe this guy does a little know a little bit more than I think he does.
1037
00:44:30,020 –> 00:44:31,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
1038
00:44:31,220 –> 00:44:35,220
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean that’s just you know, you can’t sit on your heels
1039
00:44:35,620 –> 00:44:40,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Because when you sit back on your heels, he sitting on your heels.
1040
00:44:40,260 –> 00:44:42,340
Coach Jim Clayton: You need to reactive self-doubt.
1041
00:44:42,340 –> 00:44:43,380
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re back on your heels.
1042
00:44:43,380 –> 00:44:44,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Man, I want you on your toes.
1043
00:44:44,740 –> 00:44:47,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Leaning forward, man, like you’re about to cross that finish line.
1044
00:44:47,220 –> 00:44:48,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
1045
00:44:48,920 –> 00:44:50,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Moving forward.
1046
00:44:50,200 –> 00:44:51,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1047
00:44:51,000 –> 00:44:54,600
Coach Jim Clayton: Now the next thing we ask you, okay?
1048
00:44:54,600 –> 00:44:56,120
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s not worth it.
1049
00:44:56,120 –> 00:44:57,560
Randy Black: Yeah.
1050
00:44:57,560 –> 00:44:58,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Hmm.
1051
00:44:58,280 –> 00:45:00,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, some things aren’t worth it to you.
1052
00:45:00,040 –> 00:45:01,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Then just guess what?
1053
00:45:01,240 –> 00:45:03,560
Coach Jim Clayton: Don’t do it.
1054
00:45:03,880 –> 00:45:05,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Don’t do it.
1055
00:45:05,000 –> 00:45:05,480
Randy Black: Yeah.
1056
00:45:05,480 –> 00:45:11,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, things that are when you have the mindset it’s not worth it, then your attention span is what?
1057
00:45:11,880 –> 00:45:12,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Short.
1058
00:45:12,520 –> 00:45:13,240
Randy Black: Yeah.
1059
00:45:13,240 –> 00:45:15,800
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, and boy do we live in a world like that
1060
00:45:16,320 –> 00:45:20,480
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean the kids the tester span today is short, short, short, short, and shorter.
1061
00:45:20,480 –> 00:45:21,360
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
1062
00:45:21,360 –> 00:45:24,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, six, seven, eight seconds.
1063
00:45:24,940 –> 00:45:29,500
Coach Jim Clayton: I love hearing these watching these things on TV about cell phones taking them out.
1064
00:45:29,500 –> 00:45:31,820
Coach Jim Clayton: I saw a guy who’s the guru of it yesterday.
1065
00:45:31,820 –> 00:45:35,260
Coach Jim Clayton: I can’t know if I can remember all of them, but I can remember a couple of them.
1066
00:45:35,260 –> 00:45:37,340
Coach Jim Clayton: Here’s was his four rules
1067
00:45:37,140 –> 00:45:37,779
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1068
00:45:37,779 –> 00:45:41,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Now some of y’all might kids you probably don’t want to hear this.
1069
00:45:41,539 –> 00:45:44,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Nobody gets an iPhone before age 16
1070
00:45:45,940 –> 00:45:47,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Nobody.
1071
00:45:48,340 –> 00:45:48,900
Randy Black: Okay.
1072
00:45:48,900 –> 00:45:50,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Nobody gets one.
1073
00:45:50,100 –> 00:45:57,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Number two, no social media, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, whatever all the other ones are, okay?
1074
00:45:57,940 –> 00:45:59,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Till you’re 16.
1075
00:46:00,980 –> 00:46:01,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
1076
00:46:01,540 –> 00:46:02,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
1077
00:46:02,180 –> 00:46:04,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Now here’s what’s gonna happen.
1078
00:46:04,260 –> 00:46:09,540
Coach Jim Clayton: When you take those things away from people, here’s the change we gotta make that we don’t make.
1079
00:46:09,720 –> 00:46:13,079
Coach Jim Clayton: Now we got to get these kids actively engaged in stuff.
1080
00:46:13,079 –> 00:46:15,319
Coach Jim Clayton: They can’t just be sitting in a classroom all day.
1081
00:46:15,319 –> 00:46:16,119
Coach Jim Clayton: They got to get up.
1082
00:46:16,119 –> 00:46:17,000
Coach Jim Clayton: They got to get out.
1083
00:46:17,000 –> 00:46:18,119
Coach Jim Clayton: They got to be working together.
1084
00:46:18,119 –> 00:46:20,200
Coach Jim Clayton: And I’ll use this as a class example.
1085
00:46:20,200 –> 00:46:22,520
Coach Jim Clayton: The other day I had an old mini-bike
1086
00:46:22,820 –> 00:46:25,620
Coach Jim Clayton: That I bought and used to ride all over the place.
1087
00:46:25,620 –> 00:46:28,340
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, it got in the flood and the engine flooded.
1088
00:46:28,340 –> 00:46:31,620
Coach Jim Clayton: I bought the f the engine, the Harbor Freight for 99 bucks.
1089
00:46:31,620 –> 00:46:32,660
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
1090
00:46:32,200 –> 00:46:34,839
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, hooked that thing on, had the cable band.
1091
00:46:34,839 –> 00:46:37,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Then I used to fly around that thing all the time.
1092
00:46:37,000 –> 00:46:39,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Well eventually it got flooded.
1093
00:46:39,320 –> 00:46:41,800
Coach Jim Clayton: I didn’t drive it anymore, so it’s sitting there
1094
00:46:42,779 –> 00:46:47,099
Coach Jim Clayton: So the little boy next door, I said, landed?
1095
00:46:47,099 –> 00:46:48,700
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, you want that mini-bike?
1096
00:46:48,700 –> 00:46:49,339
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ll give it to you.
1097
00:46:49,339 –> 00:46:50,700
Coach Jim Clayton: He says, You won’t give me that mini-bike?
1098
00:46:50,779 –> 00:46:52,380
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, yeah, I’ll give it to you.
1099
00:46:52,380 –> 00:46:53,900
Coach Jim Clayton: Here’s what you got to do.
1100
00:46:53,900 –> 00:46:56,299
Coach Jim Clayton: You got to get some new wheels on it.
1101
00:46:56,320 –> 00:46:58,480
Coach Jim Clayton: He said, I think I already got some.
1102
00:46:58,480 –> 00:47:00,320
Coach Jim Clayton: He said, well, you don’t have to get any.
1103
00:47:00,320 –> 00:47:02,000
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, number two, strip it down.
1104
00:47:02,000 –> 00:47:05,920
Coach Jim Clayton: You probably need a loot throttle cable and you need to go get you a new engine for 99 bucks.
1105
00:47:06,080 –> 00:47:08,640
Coach Jim Clayton: Strip it down, sand it down real good.
1106
00:47:08,640 –> 00:47:11,680
Coach Jim Clayton: You and your dad, because his dad’s really good at fixing everything.
1107
00:47:11,680 –> 00:47:12,160
Randy Black: Yeah.
1108
00:47:12,160 –> 00:47:16,720
Coach Jim Clayton: And I said, paint it a different color, whatever, you know what it means, and then reassemble it.
1109
00:47:16,720 –> 00:47:18,320
Coach Jim Clayton: But there’s only one catch
1110
00:47:19,660 –> 00:47:22,940
Coach Jim Clayton: You have to let me drive around a block when he gets it done.
1111
00:47:22,940 –> 00:47:24,140
Coach Jim Clayton: He said, no problem.
1112
00:47:24,140 –> 00:47:26,140
Coach Jim Clayton: So my granddaughter was sitting right there.
1113
00:47:26,140 –> 00:47:27,339
Coach Jim Clayton: These two boys
1114
00:47:27,260 –> 00:47:27,900
Randy Black: Yeah.
1115
00:47:27,900 –> 00:47:31,020
Coach Jim Clayton: All of a sudden he’s sitting over on it doing the thing.
1116
00:47:31,020 –> 00:47:33,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Next thing I look, there’s one of them over there.
1117
00:47:33,580 –> 00:47:34,460
Coach Jim Clayton: What?
1118
00:47:34,460 –> 00:47:35,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Doing the same thing.
1119
00:47:35,580 –> 00:47:38,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Well then they shift it and the guy went over and goes, Man, that’s a cool basket.
1120
00:47:38,700 –> 00:47:40,700
Coach Jim Clayton: He’s jumping up now to touch the net
1121
00:47:40,600 –> 00:47:43,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Guess what those two six and four year olds are doing?
1122
00:47:43,160 –> 00:47:44,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Touching the web.
1123
00:47:44,360 –> 00:47:44,760
Randy Black: Yep.
1124
00:47:44,760 –> 00:47:48,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Because they’re engaging with people, asking each other questions.
1125
00:47:48,040 –> 00:47:49,000
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, all stuff.
1126
00:47:49,000 –> 00:47:50,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Man, I like that bite
1127
00:47:50,100 –> 00:47:51,380
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, you ever ride your bike?
1128
00:47:51,380 –> 00:47:52,980
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah, I got one, but it’s at home.
1129
00:47:52,980 –> 00:47:54,580
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re talking to each other.
1130
00:47:54,980 –> 00:48:01,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Now these two kids, these two girls, four and six, didn’t know these two boys, they’re eighth graders.
1131
00:48:02,820 –> 00:48:04,500
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re doing what?
1132
00:48:04,240 –> 00:48:05,680
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re talking with them.
1133
00:48:05,680 –> 00:48:07,200
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re engaged with them.
1134
00:48:07,200 –> 00:48:09,120
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re doing things with them.
1135
00:48:09,120 –> 00:48:13,200
Coach Jim Clayton: But see, if you just sit and look at stuff all the time, that’s not engaging.
1136
00:48:13,200 –> 00:48:13,840
Randy Black: Yeah.
1137
00:48:14,000 –> 00:48:16,240
Coach Jim Clayton: I can’t remember what the fourth was, but
1138
00:48:16,540 –> 00:48:18,380
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m thinking, man.
1139
00:48:18,380 –> 00:48:22,940
Coach Jim Clayton: But see, he says, not giving these kids iPads, not doing phones, not doing all this stuff.
1140
00:48:22,940 –> 00:48:25,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Nope, we’re not giving you that junk.
1141
00:48:25,360 –> 00:48:26,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1142
00:48:26,320 –> 00:48:30,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Because that’s just a tool for a parent to give a kid so they sit down and shut up over there.
1143
00:48:30,400 –> 00:48:31,440
Randy Black: A lot of times.
1144
00:48:31,440 –> 00:48:31,920
Randy Black: Yeah.
1145
00:48:31,920 –> 00:48:33,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Because they don’t want a parent.
1146
00:48:33,200 –> 00:48:34,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
1147
00:48:34,340 –> 00:48:36,980
Coach Jim Clayton: They just want the kid to go over there and get in his own little world.
1148
00:48:36,980 –> 00:48:37,620
Coach Jim Clayton: You know what I mean?
1149
00:48:37,700 –> 00:48:40,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Well then one day I don’t want you in that world.
1150
00:48:40,020 –> 00:48:40,580
Randy Black: Yeah.
1151
00:48:40,580 –> 00:48:43,620
Coach Jim Clayton: But I’ve allowed you to be in that habit.
1152
00:48:43,620 –> 00:48:44,100
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
1153
00:48:44,340 –> 00:48:45,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Habit
1154
00:48:45,620 –> 00:48:47,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, uh, okay, put your pants.
1155
00:48:47,380 –> 00:48:49,060
Coach Jim Clayton: No, then they throw a what?
1156
00:48:49,060 –> 00:48:49,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Fit.
1157
00:48:49,780 –> 00:48:50,580
Randy Black: Yeah.
1158
00:48:50,580 –> 00:48:52,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, then what do we do?
1159
00:48:52,100 –> 00:48:54,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, we bowed into the fit.
1160
00:48:54,599 –> 00:48:55,720
Coach Jim Clayton: A lot of times.
1161
00:48:55,720 –> 00:48:56,839
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s what goes on.
1162
00:48:57,240 –> 00:49:00,839
Coach Jim Clayton: When I used to travel, I see kids that just sit on thinking like this.
1163
00:49:00,839 –> 00:49:06,680
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re all gonna have neck problems and hand problems, and every time by the time they get down the road here
1164
00:49:06,600 –> 00:49:09,880
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean these guys now ought to be thinking about neck surgery.
1165
00:49:13,720 –> 00:49:14,920
Coach Jim Clayton: What’s that called?
1166
00:49:15,080 –> 00:49:19,160
Randy Black: As I was doing research for an an uh an episode we have coming up
1167
00:49:19,059 –> 00:49:29,779
Randy Black: Uh one of the a lady I was listening to an interview that she had done and she was on a CBS um uh I can’t remember which program on CBS, but as she’s talking, one of the things she talks about is smartphones.
1168
00:49:29,779 –> 00:49:31,859
Randy Black: And she said, smartphones are fantastic.
1169
00:49:31,859 –> 00:49:32,980
Randy Black: They’re great
1170
00:49:33,120 –> 00:49:34,800
Randy Black: But it’s created a problem.
1171
00:49:35,680 –> 00:49:37,920
Randy Black: Everybody is hunched over.
1172
00:49:37,920 –> 00:49:41,440
Randy Black: Their necks for their heads forward and down, the necks pulled forward.
1173
00:49:41,440 –> 00:49:43,360
Randy Black: The body is even hunching forward.
1174
00:49:43,360 –> 00:49:45,760
Randy Black: We’re creating a society of people.
1175
00:49:46,320 –> 00:49:47,600
Randy Black: Who are turning into hunchbacks.
1176
00:49:48,000 –> 00:49:54,960
Randy Black: That’s not the way she said it, but it’s but it was the implication that it’s it’s allow it’s causing this to happen because we’re all
1177
00:49:55,260 –> 00:49:56,860
Randy Black: Connected to the phone 247.
1178
00:49:56,860 –> 00:49:59,980
Coach Jim Clayton: But an analogy that is here’s what I would say to you, guess what?
1179
00:49:59,980 –> 00:50:02,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Where are you looking down?
1180
00:50:03,340 –> 00:50:06,220
Coach Jim Clayton: If you look down long enough, it’s kind of hard to go.
1181
00:50:06,220 –> 00:50:08,220
Coach Jim Clayton: You can’t look down and up at the same time.
1182
00:50:08,220 –> 00:50:08,700
Randy Black: Right
1183
00:50:08,760 –> 00:50:10,360
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s impossible.
1184
00:50:10,360 –> 00:50:11,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1185
00:50:11,240 –> 00:50:16,120
Coach Jim Clayton: So if you’re constantly looking down, that might be end up where you’re going to be.
1186
00:50:16,120 –> 00:50:16,520
Randy Black: Yeah.
1187
00:50:16,760 –> 00:50:17,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1188
00:50:17,400 –> 00:50:20,760
Coach Jim Clayton: But again, you know, is it worth it?
1189
00:50:20,520 –> 00:50:29,800
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so growth becomes almost impossible when you do what only fulfills you for that day.
1190
00:50:29,800 –> 00:50:30,760
Randy Black: Yes.
1191
00:50:30,820 –> 00:50:32,580
Coach Jim Clayton: No long-term activity.
1192
00:50:33,060 –> 00:50:34,820
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s all today.
1193
00:50:34,820 –> 00:50:36,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Just for today.
1194
00:50:36,100 –> 00:50:37,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Just for today.
1195
00:50:37,380 –> 00:50:39,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, today is the most important day.
1196
00:50:39,700 –> 00:50:40,980
Coach Jim Clayton: Today is the day.
1197
00:50:40,980 –> 00:50:42,660
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ll grant you that.
1198
00:50:43,260 –> 00:50:45,180
Coach Jim Clayton: But it’s going to end here in a while.
1199
00:50:45,500 –> 00:50:47,180
Coach Jim Clayton: 1201.
1200
00:50:47,420 –> 00:50:48,460
Coach Jim Clayton: What about tomorrow?
1201
00:50:48,460 –> 00:50:51,579
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, I don’t have one for I I don’t have anything for tomorrow.
1202
00:50:51,540 –> 00:50:53,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Well tomorrow’s gonna be here.
1203
00:50:53,940 –> 00:50:55,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so what are you gonna do?
1204
00:50:55,540 –> 00:50:55,860
Randy Black: Yeah.
1205
00:50:55,860 –> 00:50:57,380
Coach Jim Clayton: See that that’s what you’re doing.
1206
00:50:57,380 –> 00:51:00,580
Coach Jim Clayton: And and the best experience is getting better.
1207
00:51:00,160 –> 00:51:01,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Growing, getting smarter.
1208
00:51:01,680 –> 00:51:05,120
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, expanding your creativity, your comfort zone.
1209
00:51:05,120 –> 00:51:05,600
Coach Jim Clayton: Guess what?
1210
00:51:05,600 –> 00:51:08,320
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s it’s it’s being comfortable, being uncomfortable.
1211
00:51:08,320 –> 00:51:08,960
Randy Black: Yeah
1212
00:51:09,420 –> 00:51:11,340
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean, I use that word all the time.
1213
00:51:11,660 –> 00:51:15,020
Coach Jim Clayton: But see, today, again, ooh, I hate this.
1214
00:51:15,100 –> 00:51:18,780
Coach Jim Clayton: We live in a world of immediate gratification.
1215
00:51:18,780 –> 00:51:19,500
Randy Black: Yes.
1216
00:51:19,500 –> 00:51:20,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh.
1217
00:51:20,320 –> 00:51:21,280
Randy Black: Right now.
1218
00:51:24,960 –> 00:51:29,040
Randy Black: You’re a selfie of yourself online and ooh, I got 45 likes in three seconds.
1219
00:51:29,360 –> 00:51:30,000
Randy Black: Who cares?
1220
00:51:30,000 –> 00:51:30,480
Randy Black: Who cares?
1221
00:51:30,480 –> 00:51:32,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Who gives a flying fart about it?
1222
00:51:32,560 –> 00:51:33,120
Coach Jim Clayton: Who cares?
1223
00:51:33,120 –> 00:51:33,680
Coach Jim Clayton: And see
1224
00:51:33,760 –> 00:51:36,400
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s the reason inconsistency is so huge.
1225
00:51:37,120 –> 00:51:39,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Because it’s right now.
1226
00:51:39,840 –> 00:51:42,240
Coach Jim Clayton: It rewards you for a short term.
1227
00:51:41,960 –> 00:51:43,320
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s in the moment.
1228
00:51:43,320 –> 00:51:44,920
Coach Jim Clayton: In the moment, short term.
1229
00:51:44,920 –> 00:51:46,920
Coach Jim Clayton: Now, what we need to do is change the word.
1230
00:51:47,560 –> 00:51:49,320
Coach Jim Clayton: I did a thing on this one.
1231
00:51:49,320 –> 00:51:52,680
Coach Jim Clayton: We need to go from instant gratification to what?
1232
00:51:53,539 –> 00:51:55,140
Coach Jim Clayton: Immediate gratification.
1233
00:51:55,140 –> 00:51:56,660
Coach Jim Clayton: That lives in the moment.
1234
00:51:57,220 –> 00:51:57,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1235
00:51:57,700 –> 00:51:59,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Delayed gratification.
1236
00:51:59,700 –> 00:52:03,059
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so what happens as you piece this stuff together?
1237
00:52:02,940 –> 00:52:04,700
Coach Jim Clayton: The Lego connection, right?
1238
00:52:05,260 –> 00:52:06,540
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re going to get there.
1239
00:52:06,540 –> 00:52:09,099
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s daily commitment to getting better.
1240
00:52:09,099 –> 00:52:10,940
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re either getting better or getting worse.
1241
00:52:10,940 –> 00:52:11,579
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
1242
00:52:11,900 –> 00:52:13,900
Coach Jim Clayton: Daily commitment.
1243
00:52:13,920 –> 00:52:15,600
Coach Jim Clayton: Seven days a week.
1244
00:52:15,600 –> 00:52:19,280
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, the most successful people in the world never take a day off ever.
1245
00:52:19,920 –> 00:52:20,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Totally.
1246
00:52:20,880 –> 00:52:23,120
Coach Jim Clayton: They might not be in the office.
1247
00:52:23,400 –> 00:52:25,000
Coach Jim Clayton: But they’re writing something down.
1248
00:52:25,000 –> 00:52:25,640
Coach Jim Clayton: You know what I mean?
1249
00:52:25,640 –> 00:52:26,840
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re thinking about something.
1250
00:52:26,840 –> 00:52:29,640
Randy Black: Yeah, and we’re gonna and we’re gonna talk about some of those people here just a little bit.
1251
00:52:29,640 –> 00:52:31,000
Randy Black: Just kind of a preview of what’s coming up.
1252
00:52:31,240 –> 00:52:31,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Yes.
1253
00:52:31,640 –> 00:52:33,000
Randy Black: I got a nice list of them.
1254
00:52:33,000 –> 00:52:36,600
Coach Jim Clayton: And the last thing I would tell you is people look at this and go
1255
00:52:37,380 –> 00:52:40,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Man, it shouldn’t be this hard.
1256
00:52:40,260 –> 00:52:42,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, sometimes it takes a while.
1257
00:52:42,980 –> 00:52:45,859
Coach Jim Clayton: Because you may say like we’ve been working on a project
1258
00:52:45,900 –> 00:52:51,740
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ve been working on a project that’s moving hopefully really soon to get done.
1259
00:52:51,740 –> 00:52:54,220
Coach Jim Clayton: And we’ve been working on it for 30 years.
1260
00:52:54,220 –> 00:52:55,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1261
00:52:55,340 –> 00:52:58,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, I didn’t know it was going to take that long.
1262
00:52:58,060 –> 00:53:00,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, maybe it’s just not that time yet.
1263
00:53:00,860 –> 00:53:04,700
Coach Jim Clayton: You ever noticed that when you go to bot buy a bottle of wine?
1264
00:53:04,540 –> 00:53:06,380
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s really aged and old.
1265
00:53:06,860 –> 00:53:10,220
Coach Jim Clayton: It ain’t like you’re buying Boone’s Farm off the shelf over here for $1.
1266
00:53:10,220 –> 00:53:10,940
Coach Jim Clayton: 25.
1267
00:53:10,940 –> 00:53:11,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1268
00:53:11,580 –> 00:53:13,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Man, that stuff costs what?
1269
00:53:13,500 –> 00:53:14,700
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s aged.
1270
00:53:15,980 –> 00:53:18,780
Coach Jim Clayton: And so sometimes you gotta age with it.
1271
00:53:18,780 –> 00:53:22,780
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s not as simple as you think it is.
1272
00:53:22,780 –> 00:53:26,140
Coach Jim Clayton: And, you know, it’s not always gonna be fair.
1273
00:53:26,140 –> 00:53:26,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Huh?
1274
00:53:26,940 –> 00:53:27,340
Randy Black: No.
1275
00:53:27,340 –> 00:53:28,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Sometimes you look at it and go.
1276
00:53:29,420 –> 00:53:30,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Man, this is unfair.
1277
00:53:30,940 –> 00:53:33,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Well get in line with everybody else.
1278
00:53:33,020 –> 00:53:33,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
1279
00:53:33,740 –> 00:53:36,540
Coach Jim Clayton: But the real question is, what are you gonna do?
1280
00:53:36,540 –> 00:53:37,660
Coach Jim Clayton: What are you gonna do about it?
1281
00:53:37,660 –> 00:53:40,940
Coach Jim Clayton: You ain’t gonna be able to sit on the sideline line and wait for things to happen.
1282
00:53:40,940 –> 00:53:42,460
Coach Jim Clayton: You gotta what?
1283
00:53:42,260 –> 00:53:43,620
Coach Jim Clayton: You gotta make them happen.
1284
00:53:43,620 –> 00:53:44,100
Randy Black: Yeah.
1285
00:53:44,100 –> 00:53:45,780
Randy Black: It’s that it’s what we talked about already.
1286
00:53:45,780 –> 00:53:48,260
Randy Black: It’s that idea of are you gonna be passive or are you gonna be active?
1287
00:53:48,260 –> 00:53:49,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah, you gotta make things happen.
1288
00:53:49,780 –> 00:53:51,780
Randy Black: Make it happen or you’re gonna let it happen to you.
1289
00:53:51,780 –> 00:53:53,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah, oh that’s exactly right.
1290
00:53:53,380 –> 00:53:57,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh yeah, you either control it or it’s gonna control you.
1291
00:53:56,540 –> 00:53:59,020
Coach Jim Clayton: And then when it controls you, here we go.
1292
00:53:59,020 –> 00:54:00,060
Coach Jim Clayton: We’re going backwards.
1293
00:54:00,620 –> 00:54:01,900
Coach Jim Clayton: We’re regressing.
1294
00:54:01,900 –> 00:54:03,260
Coach Jim Clayton: We are not progressing.
1295
00:54:03,740 –> 00:54:07,020
Coach Jim Clayton: And this happens to everybody every day.
1296
00:54:07,120 –> 00:54:10,800
Coach Jim Clayton: And they don’t know what to do about it.
1297
00:54:10,800 –> 00:54:12,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
1298
00:54:12,160 –> 00:54:13,680
Coach Jim Clayton: And then they get on to people.
1299
00:54:13,680 –> 00:54:15,760
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s why negative sells so much
1300
00:54:16,839 –> 00:54:18,599
Coach Jim Clayton: They don’t want to talk about the positive.
1301
00:54:19,240 –> 00:54:22,520
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s easy to talk about the negative because there’s more people what?
1302
00:54:22,520 –> 00:54:24,359
Coach Jim Clayton: That are in the negative than what?
1303
00:54:24,359 –> 00:54:25,400
Coach Jim Clayton: The positive.
1304
00:54:25,260 –> 00:54:26,140
Coach Jim Clayton: You know what I mean?
1305
00:54:26,140 –> 00:54:27,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Deposit them, deposit them.
1306
00:54:27,820 –> 00:54:31,580
Coach Jim Clayton: And, you know, like I said, I I’ve been looking at these reels.
1307
00:54:31,580 –> 00:54:36,460
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ve been in this real thing and watching people in higher powers
1308
00:54:36,740 –> 00:54:39,220
Coach Jim Clayton: look down on people, you know what I mean?
1309
00:54:39,220 –> 00:54:44,020
Coach Jim Clayton: That are working their way up, not knowing, judging them for what they look like, not who they are.
1310
00:54:44,020 –> 00:54:50,580
Coach Jim Clayton: And I know what the outcome’s gonna be every time, but I still just like to watch it to see and what I can learn from it
1311
00:54:50,440 –> 00:54:50,839
Randy Black: Right.
1312
00:54:50,839 –> 00:54:56,200
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, because that’s all stuff that what happens every single day.
1313
00:54:57,240 –> 00:54:57,560
Coach Jim Clayton: And
1314
00:54:58,680 –> 00:55:03,880
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, growth and you getting better, it cannot happen without challenge.
1315
00:55:03,880 –> 00:55:04,280
Randy Black: Yes.
1316
00:55:04,280 –> 00:55:05,960
Coach Jim Clayton: You’ve got to be challenged.
1317
00:55:05,960 –> 00:55:08,200
Coach Jim Clayton: You gotta be challenged.
1318
00:55:08,200 –> 00:55:09,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1319
00:55:09,160 –> 00:55:13,000
Coach Jim Clayton: And you know, it’s not about you all the time.
1320
00:55:13,240 –> 00:55:14,440
Randy Black: It’s not about you.
1321
00:55:14,440 –> 00:55:20,040
Randy Black: That’s and that’s a that’s a big one because there’s so many people who think that everything in their life
1322
00:55:20,359 –> 00:55:25,880
Randy Black: and their family’s life and their friends’ life and those in their community, it all revolves around just them.
1323
00:55:25,880 –> 00:55:27,720
Coach Jim Clayton: I heard Joyce Meyer say this one time.
1324
00:55:27,720 –> 00:55:29,320
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re going around, What about me at the mountains?
1325
00:55:29,320 –> 00:55:29,800
Coach Jim Clayton: What about me?
1326
00:55:29,800 –> 00:55:30,280
Coach Jim Clayton: What about me?

00:55:30,280 –> 00:55:30,760
Coach Jim Clayton: What about me?
1328
00:55:30,760 –> 00:55:32,119
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, Well what about we?
1329
00:55:32,119 –> 00:55:35,000
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, if you want it to be about you truly
1330
00:55:36,260 –> 00:55:39,859
Coach Jim Clayton: Listen carefully what I’m about to tell you.
1331
00:55:39,859 –> 00:55:42,819
Coach Jim Clayton: Here’s where it can all be about you.
1332
00:55:44,420 –> 00:55:46,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Right out there on the wrestling map.
1333
00:55:46,500 –> 00:55:47,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh.
1334
00:55:48,760 –> 00:55:49,640
Coach Jim Clayton: Me and you.
1335
00:55:49,640 –> 00:55:51,240
Randy Black: That’s not where I thought you were going to go with that.
1336
00:55:51,640 –> 00:55:52,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1337
00:55:52,040 –> 00:55:54,120
Coach Jim Clayton: I was talking to a wrestling coach today.
1338
00:55:54,120 –> 00:55:59,560
Coach Jim Clayton: And I said, if you want it to be about you, let’s find out if you want it to be about you.
1339
00:55:59,560 –> 00:56:02,360
Coach Jim Clayton: When that guy slams you on that mat.
1340
00:56:01,900 –> 00:56:04,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Who you gonna blame out on?
1341
00:56:04,940 –> 00:56:07,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Mom and daddy can’t come out there and save you.
1342
00:56:08,299 –> 00:56:10,059
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s you against their God
1343
00:56:12,120 –> 00:56:13,320
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s you.
1344
00:56:13,320 –> 00:56:14,440
Coach Jim Clayton: What about you?
1345
00:56:14,440 –> 00:56:16,120
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s all about you, brother.
1346
00:56:16,120 –> 00:56:16,520
Randy Black: Yeah.
1347
00:56:16,520 –> 00:56:18,360
Coach Jim Clayton: You win or you don’t.
1348
00:56:18,360 –> 00:56:23,800
Coach Jim Clayton: But see, in a team game where you got employees, you got other members of your team.
1349
00:56:23,820 –> 00:56:26,140
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, those people do what?
1350
00:56:26,140 –> 00:56:27,580
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s not singular.
1351
00:56:27,580 –> 00:56:27,980
Randy Black: Right.
1352
00:56:27,980 –> 00:56:30,300
Coach Jim Clayton: A national, you know, it’s it’s it’s a team thing.
1353
00:56:30,300 –> 00:56:32,460
Randy Black: Everybody’s working together to try to accomplish the goal.
1354
00:56:32,620 –> 00:56:33,660
Coach Jim Clayton: For the same goal.
1355
00:56:33,660 –> 00:56:35,580
Coach Jim Clayton: For the same goal.
1356
00:56:35,059 –> 00:56:37,380
Coach Jim Clayton: And they’re willing to accept their what?
1357
00:56:37,380 –> 00:56:40,099
Coach Jim Clayton: Their roles.
1358
00:56:40,099 –> 00:56:42,819
Coach Jim Clayton: To make the betterment of the team
1359
00:56:43,040 –> 00:56:44,080
Randy Black: Yeah.
1360
00:56:44,080 –> 00:56:49,920
Coach Jim Clayton: And I mean I I just look at that and I goes, and the people that are what about me, they always end up underachieving.
1361
00:56:49,920 –> 00:56:50,400
Randy Black: Yeah.
1362
00:56:50,400 –> 00:56:52,080
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re always underachieving.
1363
00:56:52,220 –> 00:56:54,460
Coach Jim Clayton: And you can look at any of these people.
1364
00:56:54,460 –> 00:57:01,020
Coach Jim Clayton: I know you’re going to talk about some successful people, but you know, I mean, it it they all have the same characteristics.
1365
00:57:01,020 –> 00:57:01,819
Coach Jim Clayton: Yes.
1366
00:57:01,819 –> 00:57:02,779
Coach Jim Clayton: They all do.
1367
00:57:02,779 –> 00:57:03,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1368
00:57:03,180 –> 00:57:03,579
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1369
00:57:03,579 –> 00:57:05,020
Coach Jim Clayton: And guess what?
1370
00:57:04,840 –> 00:57:06,520
Coach Jim Clayton: You have them too.
1371
00:57:06,520 –> 00:57:07,320
Randy Black: Can.
1372
00:57:07,320 –> 00:57:07,960
Randy Black: Yeah.
1373
00:57:07,960 –> 00:57:19,080
Randy Black: So, you know, what we’ve as as we’ve worked our way through the episode today, we’ve we’ve talked about habits, we’ve talked about tools, we’ve talked about creating systems that fit with your natural workflow, but
1374
00:57:19,260 –> 00:57:28,220
Randy Black: Let’s take a look at some real life examples, some people who are uh where where minimal tools for them have led to maximum productivity.
1375
00:57:28,240 –> 00:57:34,400
Randy Black: You know, some of the most productive people out there don’t rely on dozens of apps or complicated systems.
1376
00:57:34,400 –> 00:57:41,040
Randy Black: They stick to like, for example, a simple notebook or a calendar, just a few core habits that they have
1377
00:57:41,059 –> 00:57:48,020
Randy Black: And they can get more done than people using fancy tools without any type of discipline, keeping them in check.
1378
00:57:48,020 –> 00:57:53,859
Randy Black: But here’s a few great examples of individuals who’ve become successful by doing these exact things.
1379
00:57:53,859 –> 00:57:55,299
Randy Black: And these are people I’ve
1380
00:57:55,059 –> 00:57:56,980
Randy Black: Done some research and come across.
1381
00:57:56,980 –> 00:57:59,220
Randy Black: The first is a gentleman named Tim Ferris.
1382
00:57:59,220 –> 00:58:02,660
Randy Black: Tim Ferris is the author of the four-hour workweek
1383
00:58:02,840 –> 00:58:10,040
Randy Black: He focuses on just a few high impact tasks each day instead of trying to do everything at once.
1384
00:58:10,040 –> 00:58:17,560
Randy Black: He experiments with his routines and his habits to get the most results with the least wasted effort.
1385
00:58:16,820 –> 00:58:23,140
Randy Black: His approach shows that carefully chosen habits can produce outsized results.
1386
00:58:23,140 –> 00:58:31,460
Randy Black: He’s all about doing less, but doing it better, and letting those habits drive the outcome.
1387
00:58:31,220 –> 00:58:35,140
Randy Black: Then we have a guy like Warren Buffett, the legendary investor in C.
1388
00:58:35,299 –> 00:58:36,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Can I say, can I say something?
1389
00:58:36,500 –> 00:58:37,700
Randy Black: Yeah, go ahead.
1390
00:58:37,700 –> 00:58:39,140
Coach Jim Clayton: About Tim Ferris.
1391
00:58:39,140 –> 00:58:40,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
1392
00:58:40,040 –> 00:58:44,280
Coach Jim Clayton: What he’s basically saying is you can’t be great at anything and try to do everything.
1393
00:58:44,280 –> 00:58:46,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah, exactly.
1394
00:58:46,440 –> 00:58:47,800
Coach Jim Clayton: One hundred percent.
1395
00:58:47,800 –> 00:58:49,560
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s what I just heard you say.
1396
00:58:49,560 –> 00:58:49,880
Randy Black: Okay
1397
00:58:50,520 –> 00:59:02,920
Randy Black: He, you know, he’s he’s all about he’s all about having that focus on those habits, those things he does to make the situation better, to make his work better, to keep his workflow going.
1398
00:59:02,640 –> 00:59:03,520
Randy Black: I mean, come on.
1399
00:59:04,640 –> 00:59:07,200
Randy Black: The name of his book is the four-hour work week.
1400
00:59:07,200 –> 00:59:09,279
Randy Black: Well, I bet a lot of people would be up for that.
1401
00:59:09,279 –> 00:59:10,400
Randy Black: I’m sure.
1402
00:59:10,400 –> 00:59:11,039
Randy Black: I’m sure.
1403
00:59:11,039 –> 00:59:14,480
Randy Black: But yeah, that’s exactly what Tim is all about.
1404
00:59:14,359 –> 00:59:15,800
Randy Black: Then we got Warren Buffett.
1405
00:59:15,800 –> 00:59:20,040
Randy Black: Warren Buffett, the legendary investor, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway.
1406
00:59:20,040 –> 00:59:23,240
Randy Black: He keeps his daily routines very simple.
1407
00:59:23,340 –> 00:59:25,340
Randy Black: He dedicates hours to reading.
1408
00:59:25,340 –> 00:59:27,420
Randy Black: Hmm, that sounds familiar, doesn’t it, Jim?
1409
00:59:27,420 –> 00:59:30,540
Randy Black: Oh, reflecting and learning.
1410
00:59:30,540 –> 00:59:36,620
Randy Black: He limits the number of decisions he makes each day so he can focus on the ones that truly matter.
1411
00:59:36,359 –> 00:59:42,280
Randy Black: And these small, consistent habits have compounded over time, and they fuel his long-term success.
1412
00:59:42,280 –> 00:59:44,760
Randy Black: He’s one of the wealthiest guys in the world.
1413
00:59:44,559 –> 00:59:52,160
Randy Black: His discipline proves that steady habits beat complicated systems every single time.
1414
00:59:52,160 –> 00:59:54,400
Coach Jim Clayton: And here’s an interesting fact about Mr.
1415
00:59:54,400 –> 00:59:55,760
Coach Jim Clayton: Warren Buffett.
1416
00:59:55,799 –> 01:00:02,520

Coach Jim Clayton: And here’s the thing he says.
1420
01:00:13,820 –> 01:00:21,740
Coach Jim Clayton: People that drive big cars and live in big houses, that doesn’t tell me how much money you’re worth.
1421
01:00:21,740 –> 01:00:23,580
Coach Jim Clayton: That just tells me how much money you spend.
1422
01:00:24,140 –> 01:00:25,100
Randy Black: Yeah.
1423
01:00:24,760 –> 01:00:26,520
Randy Black: I love Warren Buffett for that.
1424
01:00:26,520 –> 01:00:28,680
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh man, he just keeps it simple.
1425
01:00:28,680 –> 01:00:29,480
Randy Black: Yeah.

1430
01:00:43,340 –> 01:00:48,940
Randy Black: She builds up her day around those core habits instead of chasing new tools or gimmicks.
1431
01:00:48,940 –> 01:00:54,060
Randy Black: Her consistency in fundamentals has kept her performing at the top level for decades.
1432
01:00:54,060 –> 01:00:54,540
Randy Black: Think about it.
1433
01:00:54,540 –> 01:00:57,100
Randy Black: I remember the Williams sisters as teenagers
1434
01:00:57,059 –> 01:01:01,140
Randy Black: You know, and now they’re both in their, you know, late 30s, 40s, early forties.
1435
01:01:01,140 –> 01:01:07,380
Randy Black: So they’ve for decades they’ve been able to do this by focusing on what works.
1436
01:01:07,520 –> 01:01:12,800
Randy Black: She avoids distractions that could derail the results she’s hoping to achieve.
1437
01:01:12,800 –> 01:01:19,119
Randy Black: Her success is a clear example of how habits are driving her to her peak performance.
1438
01:01:19,240 –> 01:01:22,920
Coach Jim Clayton: And when I listen to you talk about that, here’s the key words I picked up out her.
1439
01:01:23,160 –> 01:01:24,760
Coach Jim Clayton: One, core habits.
1440
01:01:24,760 –> 01:01:25,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1441
01:01:25,400 –> 01:01:26,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Core.
1442
01:01:26,200 –> 01:01:27,720
Coach Jim Clayton: Right there, ma’am
1443
01:01:27,900 –> 01:01:28,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1444
01:01:28,940 –> 01:01:32,860
Coach Jim Clayton: She doesn’t chase wild things that don’t produce results.
1445
01:01:33,420 –> 01:01:37,020
Coach Jim Clayton: She’s consistent and she sticks to the the basics, the fundamentals.
1446
01:01:37,020 –> 01:01:37,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1447
01:01:37,740 –> 01:01:39,340
Coach Jim Clayton: And she’s great at ’em.
1448
01:01:39,340 –> 01:01:42,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Now she’s getting up in a little age.
1449
01:01:41,720 –> 01:01:45,799
Coach Jim Clayton: Which we all have, and the things we used to do, you just can’t do anymore.
1450
01:01:45,799 –> 01:01:49,480
Coach Jim Clayton: And her s younger sister, who they both became stars on the circuit
1451
01:01:49,559 –> 01:01:49,960
Coach Jim Clayton: Yep.
1452
01:01:49,960 –> 01:01:55,400
Coach Jim Clayton: She made a comeback at the US Open this year and she won her first round in doubles.
1453
01:01:55,400 –> 01:01:59,960
Coach Jim Clayton: I don’t know where she did, but that just says she wanted to see if she could still compete with the best of.
1454
01:02:00,200 –> 01:02:01,319
Coach Jim Clayton: And she really did
1455
01:02:01,359 –> 01:02:02,160
Coach Jim Clayton: For that age.
1456
01:02:02,160 –> 01:02:04,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Now anybody her age, she’d smoke them off the court.
1457
01:02:04,880 –> 01:02:06,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh yeah.
1458
01:02:06,160 –> 01:02:07,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
1459
01:02:07,040 –> 01:02:09,359
Coach Jim Clayton: But again, that’s learning what?
1460
01:02:09,359 –> 01:02:11,680
Coach Jim Clayton: She came from an old d old school dad.
1461
01:02:11,680 –> 01:02:12,640
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
1462
01:02:12,280 –> 01:02:18,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Who put in the work, put in the work, reps, reps, reps, reps over and over and over and over and over.
1463
01:02:18,200 –> 01:02:20,040
Coach Jim Clayton: How long we gonna do this, Dad?
1464
01:02:20,040 –> 01:02:23,240
Coach Jim Clayton: We’re gonna do it so long, honey, that you can’t get it wrong.
1465
01:02:23,240 –> 01:02:23,720
Randy Black: Yeah.
1466
01:02:23,720 –> 01:02:25,240
Coach Jim Clayton: And it’s paid off
1467
01:02:25,080 –> 01:02:27,240
Coach Jim Clayton: When everybody else wasn’t willing to do that.
1468
01:02:27,800 –> 01:02:28,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
1469
01:02:28,280 –> 01:02:29,320
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re not willing to do it.
1470
01:02:29,320 –> 01:02:31,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Then you’re not going to get those results.
1471
01:02:31,000 –> 01:02:31,800
Randy Black: Yeah.
1472
01:02:31,880 –> 01:02:36,680
Randy Black: The last person I I I pulled up and put on our list here to talk about is Jeff Bezos.
1473
01:02:36,400 –> 01:02:49,839
Randy Black: Jeff Bezos is a little bit of a polarizing figure for a lot of people, but he’s the founder of Amazon and he limits his daily decisions so he can avoid a mental overload, and he keeps his workflows very simple.
1474
01:02:49,520 –> 01:02:54,720
Randy Black: He prioritizes his energy for high value activities like innovation and long-term strategy.
1475
01:02:54,720 –> 01:02:55,680
Randy Black: I mean, look at it.
1476
01:02:55,680 –> 01:02:59,040
Randy Black: The guy has a company that is launching people into space.
1477
01:02:59,500 –> 01:03:00,940
Randy Black: You know, he’s he’s done well.
1478
01:03:00,940 –> 01:03:03,740
Randy Black: He owns the Washington Post, I believe it is.
1479
01:03:03,740 –> 01:03:09,740
Randy Black: So he’s he’s expanded what he does for his investments and his innovation and what he’s wanting to do.
1480
01:03:09,920 –> 01:03:23,760
Randy Black: By removing the unnecessary distractions and relying on these routines, Bezos ensures that consistent habits, not complicated systems, drive the growth of his businesses.
1481
01:03:23,340 –> 01:03:30,140
Randy Black: His approach shows how clarity and discipline can outperform complexity every single time.
1482
01:03:30,140 –> 01:03:33,580
Coach Jim Clayton: And you see, the thing about it is is people see where he is now.
1483
01:03:34,460 –> 01:03:36,300
Coach Jim Clayton: But they do not remember
1484
01:03:36,920 –> 01:03:42,680
Coach Jim Clayton: Now he made his thing about taking a door, you know, man, and putting it on two saw horses, and that was his desk.
1485
01:03:42,680 –> 01:03:47,720
Coach Jim Clayton: That he started on the top floor of the police building in downtown Huntington on 10th Street
1486
01:03:47,660 –> 01:03:49,980
Randy Black: That was yep, that was a call center there.
1487
01:03:50,220 –> 01:03:55,740
Coach Jim Clayton: He took over that and got to Huntington to buy into all that stuff.
1488
01:03:55,740 –> 01:03:56,860
Coach Jim Clayton: You know what I mean?
1489
01:03:56,860 –> 01:04:00,860
Coach Jim Clayton: And got a deal for ’em and it I mean I don’t know the whole complexities of the whole thing.
1490
01:04:00,860 –> 01:04:01,900
Randy Black: I mean the they they
1491
01:04:01,859 –> 01:04:04,660
Randy Black: the the the company Amazon started selling books.
1492
01:04:04,660 –> 01:04:05,859
Randy Black: That was what they did.
1493
01:04:05,859 –> 01:04:12,099
Randy Black: And it was the first major online retailer who sold books at a good price and shipped them really quick.
1494
01:04:11,960 –> 01:04:13,160
Randy Black: And that was his goal.
1495
01:04:13,160 –> 01:04:17,640
Randy Black: And he built the habits for himself and then trained his employees to do the same thing.
1496
01:04:17,640 –> 01:04:20,920
Randy Black: And then when he started to expand his business, he came to Huntington.
1497
01:04:20,859 –> 01:04:23,420
Randy Black: We still have an Amazon call center just down the road right here.
1498
01:04:23,500 –> 01:04:24,619
Coach Jim Clayton: You can see it from Interstate.
1499
01:04:24,940 –> 01:04:27,820
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s a heck of a lot bigger than that floor he started on.
1500
01:04:27,820 –> 01:04:28,380
Randy Black: Oh yeah.
1501
01:04:28,380 –> 01:04:32,220
Coach Jim Clayton: But you see, everybody sees the end result
1502
01:04:33,260 –> 01:04:35,820
Coach Jim Clayton: They do not see the process.
1503
01:04:35,820 –> 01:04:36,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Yes.
1504
01:04:36,540 –> 01:04:41,900
Coach Jim Clayton: And the process has been paid by people that have done two things.
1505
01:04:41,900 –> 01:04:43,740
Coach Jim Clayton: They paid the price.
1506
01:04:43,940 –> 01:04:46,339
Coach Jim Clayton: And they went through the process.
1507
01:04:46,339 –> 01:04:48,020
Coach Jim Clayton: They didn’t skip anything.
1508
01:04:48,020 –> 01:04:48,660
Randy Black: Yeah.
1509
01:04:49,619 –> 01:04:52,740
Coach Jim Clayton: And they kept reinvesting and keep what?
1510
01:04:52,740 –> 01:04:53,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Moving forward.
1511
01:04:53,780 –> 01:04:54,180
Randy Black: Yeah.
1512
01:04:54,180 –> 01:04:55,619
Coach Jim Clayton: Moving forward.
1513
01:04:55,799 –> 01:05:02,359
Coach Jim Clayton: And you see, you can there you can enlist ton of people that have done that same thing.
1514
01:05:02,359 –> 01:05:04,440
Coach Jim Clayton: But it didn’t start at the penthouse.
1515
01:05:04,440 –> 01:05:04,920
Coach Jim Clayton: Uh-huh.
1516
01:05:05,260 –> 01:05:06,860
Coach Jim Clayton: They started on the ground floor.
1517
01:05:06,860 –> 01:05:07,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1518
01:05:07,260 –> 01:05:10,140
Coach Jim Clayton: And what about the people who had no path to follow?
1519
01:05:10,620 –> 01:05:13,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, it’s like you think about it in my business.
1520
01:05:13,820 –> 01:05:14,940
Coach Jim Clayton: You were the first.
1521
01:05:15,500 –> 01:05:17,980
Coach Jim Clayton: There was no such thing as a basketball lesson.
1522
01:05:19,800 –> 01:05:24,520
Coach Jim Clayton: So, you know, there was no model to follow.
1523
01:05:24,520 –> 01:05:26,840
Coach Jim Clayton: Now, for people wanting to get into this
1524
01:05:26,900 –> 01:05:31,140
Coach Jim Clayton: There’s all kinds of models to follow, you know?
1525
01:05:31,539 –> 01:05:32,339
Coach Jim Clayton: But there wasn’t.
1526
01:05:32,339 –> 01:05:33,779
Coach Jim Clayton: You had to be a trail blade.
1527
01:05:33,779 –> 01:05:34,740
Coach Jim Clayton: You had to cut the road.
1528
01:05:35,140 –> 01:05:36,500
Coach Jim Clayton: You had to pave the road.
1529
01:05:36,500 –> 01:05:37,059
Randy Black: Yeah.
1530
01:05:37,059 –> 01:05:38,339
Coach Jim Clayton: You had to do all those things.
1531
01:05:38,339 –> 01:05:43,700
Coach Jim Clayton: See, there’s a difference between somebody that drives down the road once it’s paved and then somebody that built the road.
1532
01:05:43,700 –> 01:05:44,819
Randy Black: Yes.
1533
01:05:44,819 –> 01:05:47,539
Coach Jim Clayton: Big difference in those two.
1534
01:05:47,280 –> 01:05:47,680
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1535
01:05:47,680 –> 01:05:48,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1536
01:05:48,320 –> 01:05:51,119
Coach Jim Clayton: And then that’s the lasting difference.
1537
01:05:51,119 –> 01:05:53,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Because they know what?
1538
01:05:53,280 –> 01:05:54,640
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, it’s not worth it.
1539
01:05:54,640 –> 01:05:56,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, I’m looking for a way out.
1540
01:05:56,160 –> 01:05:57,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Man, this is hard.
1541
01:05:58,000 –> 01:05:59,520
Coach Jim Clayton: No, they’re not even thinking about that.
1542
01:05:59,520 –> 01:06:02,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Those thoughts never entered her mind.
1543
01:06:01,359 –> 01:06:03,680
Coach Jim Clayton: They just keep going, trudging forward.
1544
01:06:03,680 –> 01:06:05,680
Coach Jim Clayton: Keep going, keep going, keep going.
1545
01:06:05,680 –> 01:06:07,040
Coach Jim Clayton: The little engine that could.
1546
01:06:07,040 –> 01:06:08,079
Coach Jim Clayton: Toot doot.
1547
01:06:08,079 –> 01:06:10,480
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, that’s the same principle.
1548
01:06:09,900 –> 01:06:10,220
Randy Black: Yeah.
1549
01:06:10,220 –> 01:06:17,020
Randy Black: And the pr the principle with what you know looking at these people, these four individuals, and what we’ve talked about here, the principle is really, really clear.
1550
01:06:17,020 –> 01:06:20,140
Randy Black: Tools are multipliers, but habits
1551
01:06:20,640 –> 01:06:22,079
Randy Black: That’s the foundation.
1552
01:06:22,240 –> 01:06:30,480
Randy Black: You can add as many apps or gadgets as you want, but without the habits to support those tools.
1553
01:06:30,640 –> 01:06:32,559
Coach Jim Clayton: They won’t take you very far.
1554
01:06:32,559 –> 01:06:33,359
Coach Jim Clayton: Hundred percent.
1555
01:06:33,359 –> 01:06:35,039
Coach Jim Clayton: And the bigger the house, guess what?
1556
01:06:35,039 –> 01:06:36,720
Coach Jim Clayton: The bigger the foundation gotta be.
1557
01:06:36,720 –> 01:06:37,760
Randy Black: Yep.
1558
01:06:37,760 –> 01:06:38,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1559
01:06:38,480 –> 01:06:41,359
Coach Jim Clayton: You just can’t you k you you if you go you can’t have
1560
01:06:41,640 –> 01:06:47,880
Coach Jim Clayton: a twenty thousand square foot building on a two thousand square foot foundation.
1561
01:06:47,880 –> 01:06:48,760
Randy Black: It ain’t gonna work.
1562
01:06:48,760 –> 01:06:49,880
Coach Jim Clayton: It ain’t gonna work.
1563
01:06:50,039 –> 01:06:51,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Not gonna hold it up.
1564
01:06:51,160 –> 01:06:52,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Never will.
1565
01:06:52,200 –> 01:06:54,200
Coach Jim Clayton: So however big it is
1566
01:06:54,359 –> 01:06:56,359
Coach Jim Clayton: I don’t know how big you want it.
1567
01:06:56,359 –> 01:06:59,079
Coach Jim Clayton: I don’t I me personally, bigger’s not always better.
1568
01:06:59,560 –> 01:07:00,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1569
01:07:00,200 –> 01:07:02,359
Coach Jim Clayton: So it just depends on what you want.
1570
01:07:02,520 –> 01:07:03,480
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s your preference.
1571
01:07:03,480 –> 01:07:04,119
Randy Black: Yeah.
1572
01:07:04,119 –> 01:07:07,720
Randy Black: So if you had to give the people listening right now
1573
01:07:08,140 –> 01:07:15,420
Randy Black: One simple habit that they could start this week right now that would immediately improve their productivity, Jim.
1574
01:07:15,420 –> 01:07:16,779
Randy Black: What would you throw at them?
1575
01:07:16,780 –> 01:07:17,740
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m gonna tell you.
1576
01:07:17,740 –> 01:07:26,380
Coach Jim Clayton: First thing I would say if I had to give you one thing, one simple habit, is to be consistent.
1577
01:07:27,660 –> 01:07:29,099
Coach Jim Clayton: Be consistent.
1578
01:07:29,579 –> 01:07:30,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1579
01:07:30,060 –> 01:07:34,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Now that starts before your feet hit the floor every morning when you swivel out of bed.
1580
01:07:35,980 –> 01:07:36,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Boom.
1581
01:07:37,320 –> 01:07:38,680
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m gonna get up.
1582
01:07:38,680 –> 01:07:39,640
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m gonna what?
1583
01:07:39,640 –> 01:07:40,840
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m gonna have a good attitude.
1584
01:07:41,320 –> 01:07:44,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Now to be consistent, there’s a lot of intangibles that go under that.
1585
01:07:44,520 –> 01:07:44,840
Randy Black: Yeah
1586
01:07:45,320 –> 01:07:56,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, I’m gonna have my A game on every day, I’m gonna be dressed, I’m gonna be ready to go, I’m gonna see that because with consistency, guess where everybody’s gonna fall short?
1587
01:07:56,360 –> 01:07:57,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Focus.
1588
01:07:57,880 –> 01:07:59,960
Coach Jim Clayton: Can’t focus.
1589
01:07:59,320 –> 01:08:01,480
Coach Jim Clayton: You can’t have consistency without focus.
1590
01:08:03,160 –> 01:08:05,880
Coach Jim Clayton: And is that something everybody can have?
1591
01:08:05,880 –> 01:08:07,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Do you have to buy it
1592
01:08:07,080 –> 01:08:07,560
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
1593
01:08:07,560 –> 01:08:08,520
Randy Black: No, you don’t have to buy it.
1594
01:08:08,600 –> 01:08:09,000
Randy Black: You don’t.
1595
01:08:09,000 –> 01:08:15,640
Randy Black: I mean, can consistent actions will outperform complicated systems every single time.
1596
01:08:15,880 –> 01:08:16,680
Randy Black: That’s exactly right.
1597
01:08:16,759 –> 01:08:17,720
Randy Black: Like, for example.
1598
01:08:17,920 –> 01:08:18,880
Randy Black: Consistency.
1599
01:08:18,880 –> 01:08:21,200
Randy Black: Every Thursday night, 8 30.
1600
01:08:21,200 –> 01:08:22,160
Randy Black: Where are we at?
1601
01:08:22,160 –> 01:08:22,880
Randy Black: We’re right here.
1602
01:08:22,880 –> 01:08:23,280
Randy Black: Right here.
1603
01:08:23,280 –> 01:08:25,600
Randy Black: Recording this show because we want to be consistent.
1604
01:08:25,600 –> 01:08:29,600
Randy Black: We want to get the messages that we’re hoping to share, the content we’re hoping to get.
1605
01:08:29,660 –> 01:08:31,740
Randy Black: For the listeners, we want to make sure it’s out.
1606
01:08:31,740 –> 01:08:33,020
Randy Black: And we’ve got it scheduled.
1607
01:08:33,020 –> 01:08:34,779
Randy Black: We know Thursday night, we’re going to be here.
1608
01:08:34,779 –> 01:08:35,580
Randy Black: We’re going to do this.
1609
01:08:35,580 –> 01:08:37,900
Randy Black: We are considered that is our habit.
1610
01:08:37,600 –> 01:08:40,400
Randy Black: Now, we have great tools to put this podcast together.
1611
01:08:40,400 –> 01:08:42,080
Randy Black: We’ve got a Rodcaster Pro 2.
1612
01:08:42,080 –> 01:08:43,200
Randy Black: We’ve got some pod mics.
1613
01:08:43,200 –> 01:08:44,800
Randy Black: We’ve got a MacBook sitting here.
1614
01:08:44,800 –> 01:08:49,520
Randy Black: We’ve got the tools to do it, but if we’re not consistent, we’re wasting our time.
1615
01:08:49,460 –> 01:08:50,179
Coach Jim Clayton: No question.
1616
01:08:50,179 –> 01:08:56,099
Coach Jim Clayton: And so, you know, the people that would benefit from this, sometimes they’re not listening.
1617
01:08:56,099 –> 01:08:57,059
Randy Black: Yeah.
1618
01:08:57,059 –> 01:08:59,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Because they’re out chasing something.
1619
01:09:00,099 –> 01:09:00,659
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
1620
01:09:00,659 –> 01:09:04,099
Coach Jim Clayton: Now, remember, Serena Williams says, Well, I’m not chasing nothing.
1621
01:09:04,119 –> 01:09:05,480
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re chasing me.
1622
01:09:05,480 –> 01:09:06,599
Randy Black: Yeah.
1623
01:09:06,599 –> 01:09:11,799
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so in my sport and what I do, they’re all chasing the scholarship.
1624
01:09:11,799 –> 01:09:12,679
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
1625
01:09:12,500 –> 01:09:15,060
Coach Jim Clayton: But the question is, do they really want to have scholarship?
1626
01:09:15,060 –> 01:09:15,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1627
01:09:15,460 –> 01:09:21,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Because when it gets down to where they need to at the nitty-gritty here in eleventh and twelfth grade, things have all changed.
1628
01:09:21,980 –> 01:09:24,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Because of inconsistency and lack of focus.
1629
01:09:24,620 –> 01:09:25,500
Randy Black: Yes.
1630
01:09:25,500 –> 01:09:29,660
Coach Jim Clayton: So again, they get to a certain high school, they used to train, train, train, train, train.
1631
01:09:29,660 –> 01:09:30,779
Coach Jim Clayton: So what are you doing?
1632
01:09:31,819 –> 01:09:34,779
Coach Jim Clayton: We’re developing a bunch of really good young kids
1633
01:09:34,660 –> 01:09:35,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Well guess what?
1634
01:09:35,460 –> 01:09:37,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Last time I checked, they’re not gonna be young forever.
1635
01:09:37,620 –> 01:09:37,940
Randy Black: Right.
1636
01:09:37,940 –> 01:09:40,259
Coach Jim Clayton: What happens when they get to high school and college?
1637
01:09:40,259 –> 01:09:41,540
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re not young anymore.
1638
01:09:41,540 –> 01:09:44,660
Coach Jim Clayton: Now the things that they used to like doing down here, guess what?
1639
01:09:44,660 –> 01:09:46,500
Coach Jim Clayton: They lost that consistency.
1640
01:09:46,500 –> 01:09:48,420
Coach Jim Clayton: They lost that focus
1641
01:09:48,000 –> 01:09:50,720
Coach Jim Clayton: Now they’re totally out trying to chase everything.
1642
01:09:50,720 –> 01:09:52,000
Randy Black: Yeah.
1643
01:09:52,000 –> 01:09:53,120
Coach Jim Clayton: Uh-uh.
1644
01:09:53,120 –> 01:09:54,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Let it chase you.
1645
01:09:54,480 –> 01:09:54,960
Randy Black: Uh-huh.
1646
01:09:55,200 –> 01:09:58,000
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, unless you’re the lead dog
1647
01:09:58,520 –> 01:10:00,120
Coach Jim Clayton: The scenery never changes.
1648
01:10:00,120 –> 01:10:01,640
Randy Black: Yeah, the view is not gonna change.
1649
01:10:01,640 –> 01:10:02,680
Coach Jim Clayton: It never changes.
1650
01:10:02,680 –> 01:10:05,720
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s second place, third place, fourth place, whatever down the road.
1651
01:10:05,720 –> 01:10:07,480
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m not looking backwards.
1652
01:10:07,420 –> 01:10:15,740
Coach Jim Clayton: But you see, again, what you deem as important, that’s what you’ll basically go after.
1653
01:10:15,740 –> 01:10:16,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1654
01:10:16,060 –> 01:10:17,340
Coach Jim Clayton: Like the sticky note.
1655
01:10:17,980 –> 01:10:19,660
Coach Jim Clayton: I wanted that thing.
1656
01:10:20,020 –> 01:10:22,900
Coach Jim Clayton: I put it where I could visually see it every day.
1657
01:10:23,620 –> 01:10:28,580
Coach Jim Clayton: And I consistently focused and worked hard to achieve it.
1658
01:10:28,740 –> 01:10:32,340
Coach Jim Clayton: And when you get it, that’s a sense of accomplishment.
1659
01:10:32,340 –> 01:10:32,980
Randy Black: Yes.
1660
01:10:32,980 –> 01:10:33,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1661
01:10:33,700 –> 01:10:35,860
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s motivation.
1662
01:10:35,860 –> 01:10:38,420
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s positive things.
1663
01:10:38,860 –> 01:10:41,739
Coach Jim Clayton: I oh man, I knew I’d never do that.
1664
01:10:41,739 –> 01:10:43,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Da-da-da-da-da-da.
1665
01:10:43,099 –> 01:10:45,420
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re buying into the exit rent.
1666
01:10:46,139 –> 01:10:48,780
Randy Black: It plays back into what we talked about with mindset.
1667
01:10:49,020 –> 01:10:50,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Positive mindset.
1668
01:10:50,220 –> 01:10:50,620
Randy Black: Yes.
1669
01:10:50,940 –> 01:10:56,300
Randy Black: Are you are you are you gonna gr are you gonna look at this and find a way to grow or are you gonna look at it and say, well, I’m that’s not for me.
1670
01:10:56,300 –> 01:10:59,340
Coach Jim Clayton: Well remember, if you don’t put much in it, it don’t take much to get out.
1671
01:10:59,340 –> 01:10:59,900
Randy Black: Right
1672
01:11:00,320 –> 01:11:04,720
Coach Jim Clayton: But when you put a lot in it, you hear people say, man, I’m in it too deep now.
1673
01:11:04,720 –> 01:11:05,840
Coach Jim Clayton: I can’t get out.
1674
01:11:06,640 –> 01:11:09,120
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, that’s not the way you want to look at it.
1675
01:11:09,120 –> 01:11:12,160
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re in it where you are because you stuck with it.
1676
01:11:12,160 –> 01:11:12,800
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah
1677
01:11:13,219 –> 01:11:15,140
Coach Jim Clayton: See, that’s two ways of looking at it.
1678
01:11:15,140 –> 01:11:17,380
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s a positive and negative.
1679
01:11:17,380 –> 01:11:18,100
Coach Jim Clayton: All right?
1680
01:11:18,100 –> 01:11:22,260
Coach Jim Clayton: And I’m just telling you, consistency, telling you, focused, man.
1681
01:11:22,260 –> 01:11:23,460
Coach Jim Clayton: That will get you.
1682
01:11:24,020 –> 01:11:27,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah, because if you don’t you’re incorissent.
1683
01:11:27,540 –> 01:11:28,660
Coach Jim Clayton: It means you’re up and down.
1684
01:11:28,660 –> 01:11:32,340
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean as long as you like if you might like to ride on one of those roller coasters.
1685
01:11:32,340 –> 01:11:32,740
Randy Black: Mm-hmm
1686
01:11:34,040 –> 01:11:37,640
Coach Jim Clayton: But, you know, again, average.
1687
01:11:38,040 –> 01:11:39,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Average.
1688
01:11:39,400 –> 01:11:40,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Top and the bottom.
1689
01:11:40,520 –> 01:11:41,640
Coach Jim Clayton: Best of the worst.
1690
01:11:42,199 –> 01:11:43,159
Coach Jim Clayton: Average.
1691
01:11:43,660 –> 01:11:45,980
Coach Jim Clayton: And I don’t really think people want to be average.
1692
01:11:45,980 –> 01:11:48,620
Coach Jim Clayton: I look at myself, do you really want to be average?
1693
01:11:48,620 –> 01:11:49,740
Coach Jim Clayton: No.
1694
01:11:49,740 –> 01:11:51,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Well then you can’t do what average people do
1695
01:11:52,420 –> 01:11:53,780
Coach Jim Clayton: They have no direction.
1696
01:11:53,780 –> 01:11:54,420
Randy Black: Yeah.
1697
01:11:54,420 –> 01:11:55,700
Coach Jim Clayton: No purpose.
1698
01:11:55,700 –> 01:11:58,580
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re like a bouncy ball on them crazy balls off the wall.
1699
01:12:02,660 –> 01:12:06,740
Randy Black: So so what you’re saying is they’re they’re consistent at being inconsistent.
1700
01:12:06,740 –> 01:12:07,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Exactly right.
1701
01:12:07,380 –> 01:12:09,700
Coach Jim Clayton: They throw stuff on the wall and see if whatever sticks.
1702
01:12:09,700 –> 01:12:09,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1703
01:12:10,020 –> 01:12:10,900
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s what they go with.
1704
01:12:10,900 –> 01:12:13,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Now that ain’t that’s not that’s not gonna get it
1705
01:12:13,540 –> 01:12:14,980
Coach Jim Clayton: Not gonna cut it.
1706
01:12:14,980 –> 01:12:16,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Never has, never will.
1707
01:12:16,820 –> 01:12:25,540
Coach Jim Clayton: And you can have the best tools in the world, but without the good habits, the consistency and the focus and the game plan, okay, and the things we just talked about today.
1708
01:12:25,540 –> 01:12:26,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Guess what
1709
01:12:27,380 –> 01:12:28,820
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s not gonna happen.
1710
01:12:28,820 –> 01:12:30,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1711
01:12:30,020 –> 01:12:31,860
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s not gonna happen.
1712
01:12:31,860 –> 01:12:34,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Now I want it to happen for you.
1713
01:12:34,420 –> 01:12:37,140
Coach Jim Clayton: But you gotta have those things in place to make it happen.
1714
01:12:37,140 –> 01:12:39,060
Coach Jim Clayton: And anybody can get those.
1715
01:12:39,060 –> 01:12:40,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Excuse me.
1716
01:12:40,020 –> 01:12:41,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Anybody can get those.
1717
01:12:41,600 –> 01:12:43,680
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s not about being rich or poor.
1718
01:12:43,680 –> 01:12:46,560
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s not about being smart or dumb.
1719
01:12:46,560 –> 01:12:48,960
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s about being driven.
1720
01:12:49,440 –> 01:12:51,600
Coach Jim Clayton: How bad do you want it?
1721
01:12:51,600 –> 01:12:52,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1722
01:12:53,060 –> 01:12:53,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1723
01:12:53,860 –> 01:12:56,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Then that’s when things start to get better.
1724
01:12:56,740 –> 01:12:57,140
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1725
01:12:57,300 –> 01:12:59,140
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, sometimes how bad do you want?
1726
01:12:59,140 –> 01:13:00,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Show me how bad you want.
1727
01:13:00,420 –> 01:13:01,620
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m gonna go give it to you
1728
01:13:02,740 –> 01:13:05,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Because when you give somebody something, guess what?
1729
01:13:05,380 –> 01:13:06,660
Coach Jim Clayton: You can take it away.
1730
01:13:06,660 –> 01:13:07,460
Randy Black: Yep.
1731
01:13:07,460 –> 01:13:10,420
Coach Jim Clayton: But when you earn it, ain’t nobody can take it away.
1732
01:13:10,420 –> 01:13:11,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, they’ll talk about you.
1733
01:13:11,700 –> 01:13:12,420
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
1734
01:13:13,900 –> 01:13:18,220
Coach Jim Clayton: But that’s success, I mean, you know, jealousy is a success disease too.
1735
01:13:18,220 –> 01:13:18,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1736
01:13:18,540 –> 01:13:20,540
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re jealous of because they didn’t get there.
1737
01:13:20,540 –> 01:13:22,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Well they didn’t put to work in
1738
01:13:23,060 –> 01:13:28,020
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, so if I’m watching that guy, I’m watching a lot of videos of old old uh groups.
1739
01:13:28,500 –> 01:13:31,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Like I’m going tomorrow to Lexington with my daughter to see a concert.
1740
01:13:31,860 –> 01:13:34,420
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m going to see a group called Little River Band.
1741
01:13:34,420 –> 01:13:35,060
Randy Black: Oh yes.
1742
01:13:35,060 –> 01:13:36,900
Coach Jim Clayton: And a group called Three Dog Night.
1743
01:13:36,900 –> 01:13:37,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Yep.
1744
01:13:37,940 –> 01:13:40,100
Coach Jim Clayton: One is the loneliest number.
1745
01:13:40,420 –> 01:13:41,060
Coach Jim Clayton: There you go.
1746
01:13:41,060 –> 01:13:41,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so
1747
01:13:41,960 –> 01:13:44,440
Coach Jim Clayton: I remember all those guys looking at what’s that.
1748
01:13:44,440 –> 01:13:46,599

1809
01:15:52,660 –> 01:15:53,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Bad habits.
1810
01:15:54,080 –> 01:15:56,800
Coach Jim Clayton: They probably had a few bad ones in there somewhere down the road.
1811
01:15:56,800 –> 01:15:57,600
Coach Jim Clayton: But guess what?
1812
01:15:57,600 –> 01:15:58,720
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re still kicking.

01:16:09,540 –> 01:16:11,860
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ll be thinking about what we talked about tonight.
1820
01:16:11,860 –> 01:16:12,659
Randy Black: Nice.
1821
01:16:12,659 –> 01:16:14,179
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s where my brain goes.
1822
01:16:14,179 –> 01:16:14,900
Randy Black: Yep.
1823
01:16:15,140 –> 01:16:17,300
Coach Jim Clayton: And I’ll be sharing it with my daughter.
1824
01:16:17,540 –> 01:16:18,500
Coach Jim Clayton: She has no idea.
1825
01:16:18,980 –> 01:16:19,380
Randy Black: I don’t know.
1826
01:16:19,380 –> 01:16:20,020
Randy Black: She might be listening.
1827
01:16:20,260 –> 01:16:21,060
Coach Jim Clayton: She might be listening.
1828
01:16:21,860 –> 01:16:24,179
Randy Black: Looking at the stats, there is somebody listening where she lives.
1829
01:16:24,179 –> 01:16:25,060
Randy Black: So it could be her.
1830
01:16:25,380 –> 01:16:26,340
Coach Jim Clayton: It could be her.
1831
01:16:26,340 –> 01:16:27,380
Coach Jim Clayton: There you go
1832
01:16:27,540 –> 01:16:35,860
Randy Black: Before we wrap up today, we’re up to one of, as I’ve said before, my favorite segments I’ve ever come up with on a podcast.
1833
01:16:35,580 –> 01:16:39,980
Randy Black: And that’s where we’re going to throw to Coach Clayton with his Wisdom of the Week.
1834
01:16:41,020 –> 01:16:44,460
Cheesy Announcer Guy: Now it’s time for Jimmy’s Wisdom of the Week.
1835
01:16:44,460 –> 01:16:49,980
Cheesy Announcer Guy: This is where Jimmy shares one of his famous genius to inspire the listener.
1836
01:16:50,500 –> 01:16:55,140
Randy Black: Okay, Jim, so I’m gonna I’m gonna tell the the the folks how the sausage is made here a little bit.
1837
01:16:55,140 –> 01:17:00,020
Randy Black: We started recording without getting uh getting the wisdom of the week down on paper
1838
01:16:59,700 –> 01:17:07,540
Randy Black: So I’m going to throw it to you right now and let you throw out the wisdom of the week that you’ve chosen and break it down for us and tell us all about it.
1839
01:17:07,540 –> 01:17:11,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, the wisdom of the week this week is goals without a without a
1840
01:17:11,760 –> 01:17:15,120
Coach Jim Clayton: Goals without a plan are just dreams.
1841
01:17:15,360 –> 01:17:20,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Every night we go to bed, we dream of the way things could be, want to be, all those things, right?
1842
01:17:20,320 –> 01:17:25,440
Coach Jim Clayton: But yeah, the question is, there’s dreamers and there’s doers.
1843
01:17:25,420 –> 01:17:27,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Which one are you?
1844
01:17:27,260 –> 01:17:28,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1845
01:17:28,220 –> 01:17:35,260
Coach Jim Clayton: So if you dream it the way you want it to be, what plan do you have set place?
1846
01:17:35,900 –> 01:17:39,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Set in place that you can go start knocking those things off.
1847
01:17:39,500 –> 01:17:41,500
Coach Jim Clayton: One, two, three, four, five, six.
1848
01:17:41,500 –> 01:17:43,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Because if you don’t have one
1849
01:17:43,619 –> 01:17:50,260
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s just going to be a really good dream, and you’re going to wake up to tomorrow, and that’s called reality.
1850
01:17:50,500 –> 01:17:51,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1851
01:17:51,300 –> 01:17:54,260
Coach Jim Clayton: So set your goals, but have a plan.
1852
01:17:54,520 –> 01:17:58,600
Coach Jim Clayton: And then turn that dream into what?
1853
01:17:58,920 –> 01:18:00,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Something positive.
1854
01:18:00,840 –> 01:18:02,040
Coach Jim Clayton: That you actually.
1855
01:18:02,699 –> 01:18:05,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Dreamed up and wanted to do.
1856
01:18:05,420 –> 01:18:07,739
Coach Jim Clayton: Because that’s a sense of accomplishment.
1857
01:18:07,900 –> 01:18:11,579
Coach Jim Clayton: And when you do those things and you put your head down every night on that pillow,
1858
01:18:11,660 –> 01:18:12,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Guess what, boy?
1859
01:18:12,860 –> 01:18:15,900
Coach Jim Clayton: Sleep a whole lot better.
1860
01:18:16,140 –> 01:18:17,740
Coach Jim Clayton: No regrets, baby.
1861
01:18:17,740 –> 01:18:19,100
Coach Jim Clayton: No regrets.
1862
01:18:19,180 –> 01:18:20,460
Randy Black: Thank you for that, Jim.
1863
01:18:20,460 –> 01:18:23,180
Randy Black: Another great wisdom of the week here on Shooting It Straight.
1864
01:18:23,000 –> 01:18:28,040
Randy Black: Before we close out, let’s take a minute and wrap up what it is we’ve covered today.
1865
01:18:28,040 –> 01:18:33,080
Randy Black: Tonight we talked about the difference between tools and habits, why relying on tools alone
1866
01:18:33,340 –> 01:18:38,380
Randy Black: rarely works, and how to create systems that actually support your natural workflow.
1867
01:18:38,380 –> 01:18:48,060
Randy Black: We also shared some real life examples showing that minimal tools combined with strong habits often lead to the best results.
1868
01:18:47,719 –> 01:18:50,520
Randy Black: The big takeaway is this.
1869
01:18:50,520 –> 01:18:56,600
Randy Black: Tools can help, but habits are what drive real lasting productivity.
1870
01:18:56,719 –> 01:19:03,440
Randy Black: Focus on building simple, consistent habits first, and then use tools to reinforce them.
1871
01:19:03,440 –> 01:19:07,040
Randy Black: Jim, do you want to add any one final thought before we move into our closing announcements?
1872
01:19:07,040 –> 01:19:08,320
Randy Black: Oh, you nailed it, my friend.
1873
01:19:08,320 –> 01:19:09,199
Coach Jim Clayton: You nailed it.
1874
01:19:09,199 –> 01:19:10,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Habits.
1875
01:19:10,000 –> 01:19:11,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Habits.
1876
01:19:11,060 –> 01:19:20,340
Coach Jim Clayton: is what you if you want to be in that that place where you hit that big shot
1877
01:19:20,640 –> 01:19:23,360
Coach Jim Clayton: And the crowd is going crazy.
1878
01:19:24,080 –> 01:19:30,800
Coach Jim Clayton: You gotta put the practice in and develop those habits when there’s nobody watching
1879
01:19:31,480 –> 01:19:34,040
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s what you do when nobody’s watching.
1880
01:19:34,520 –> 01:19:35,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1881
01:19:35,240 –> 01:19:43,960
Coach Jim Clayton: And the thing about it is, is in today’s world, almost everything that goes on with our youth is adult generated.
1882
01:19:44,020 –> 01:19:47,380
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s not generated by the person that really wants it.
1883
01:19:47,380 –> 01:19:47,780
Randy Black: Yeah.
1884
01:19:47,780 –> 01:19:49,700
Coach Jim Clayton: So start thinking on your own.
1885
01:19:49,700 –> 01:19:57,140
Coach Jim Clayton: Getting outside your comfort zone, going out on that Taj Mahal court that your mom and dad built for you and working on this stuff.
1886
01:19:57,140 –> 01:19:58,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Because then one day
1887
01:19:58,740 –> 01:20:02,660
Coach Jim Clayton: It’ll happen and you’ll feel like, man, have I done that before?
1888
01:20:02,660 –> 01:20:04,740
Randy Black: Yeah, deja vu, baby.
1889
01:20:04,740 –> 01:20:05,540
Randy Black: Nice.
1890
01:20:05,540 –> 01:20:11,540
Randy Black: So next week on Shooting It Straight, we’re tackling a myth that nearly all of us fall for.
1891
01:20:11,040 –> 01:20:15,760
Randy Black: The idea that multitasking makes us more productive.
1892
01:20:15,760 –> 01:20:25,199
Randy Black: The truth is, science shows multitasking actually slows us down, drains our focus, and leaves us feeling busier than we really are.
1893
01:20:24,500 –> 01:20:30,020
Randy Black: We’re going to break down what’s really happening in your brain when you try to juggle too much at once.
1894
01:20:30,020 –> 01:20:38,980
Randy Black: We’re going to share strategies for building deep focus and talk about how to cut through daily distractions without ignoring the people who need you.
1895
01:20:38,360 –> 01:20:45,080
Randy Black: If you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but not getting anywhere, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
