"2 Simple things you NEED to ACHIEVE at the Highest Levels" | Ed Mylett

people that are the hungriest they find away when you know why you want something when it's desperation the power of being desperate is something that most people avoid you are not hungry enough you are not starving enough and you are not focused enough I say this to you as a friend what are the things that are stealing your focus who are the people that are stealing your focus and begin to eliminate these distractions get laser focus and obsessed on what you want welcome back to max outt everybody today we're gonna cut through all of the BS and get to two of the most fundamental things that I think you have to have in order to go achieve at the highest levels you know we talk often times about strategies and tactics and mindset and there's a million different things that you know we could talk about that contribute to winning in life but at the highest levels you were to distill it down to two very simple things that I would wish for you that I see in the people I coach like if I'm gonna recruit somebody into my business what are the things I look for in them is it background as it intellect is it people skills is it their ability to close there's all these things the things that I look for in people are hunger and focus it's their ability to be super hungry for what they want incredibly after it and the ability to be laser-focused and I want you today to evaluate those two things in you let's start with hunger level I mean how bad do you want your goal right now I think there's a lot of people in the world today because it's a really nice thing to talk about I want this this is my outcome this is my goal like how bad you what you want as bad as breathing do you want it as bad as anything you've ever wanted in your life and if you calibrate it at the highest enough levels where I found the people that are the hungriest they find a way when you know why you want something when it's desperation the power of being desperate is something that most people avoid they think desperation is a weakness and I'm here to tell you desperation is one of the most powerful emotions you could possibly possess because when you're desperate you find reserves and reservoirs of ideas talents and a strength that you don't know you have when you find yourself in a desperate situation so ironically the one thing most people avoid in their life hunger which is caused by B desperate when you're starving you become desperate think of somebody who's starving on the street they've got to how resourceful would you get if your children were literally starving and you had to feed them right so the number one thing we need more than anything to win is hunger which comes from a state of desperation yet we're constantly trying to comfort ourselves in the real world to avoid the state of being desperate and I'm telling you that I think you need to embrace desperation again in your life like do you want it so bad that you're desperate for it let me give you an example I can tell you that I think the time that you've achieved at the highest levels in your life you might have been the most desperate let me give you an example if you were sitting here and you're in a meeting right now and someone tapped you on the shoulder god forbid this ever happened they said I'm your child's been in an accident and they've been rushed to the hospital and it's grave instantly you'd be desperate to get to your child wouldn't you those either don't have children if it was your parents you'd be instantly desperate to get to them and think about what happens when that desperation kicks in all of the things we worry about all of our fears all of our concerns all of the lack of resources we have immediately fade away coz we must get to this child of ours this loved one of ours so if you were in the middle of a conference and they said here's another year your child has been in a serious accident it's grave you need to get to them would you sit there and think for a minute well I don't want to get up right now in the middle of their speech because what will everybody think about me I mean I don't want to make waves here that would go away would you get right the hell up and run out of the room if when you got to the back of the room there was a security guard that said hold on a minute stop nobody leaves this room a very important person's up there speaking right now what you go you're right sorry I don't want to violate protocol I don't want to go I don't want color outside the lines here you're right I'll go back to my seat would you do that of course not because you're desperate whatever is required of you to get to this child this loved one of yours you would do and when you went out to the parking lot and you got into your car and you realize my gosh I forgot my keys I left them in the room would you go well it's just a sign I mean maybe I just don't have what it takes to get to my child that's silly stupid story you wouldn't do that at all would you you'd immediately respond you get back up you've run in the room you'd knock the security guard down you go back and get your keys you'd run back out when you turn the car and it didn't start the battery was dead but you go yeah that's just another sign you know maybe I'm just not cut out to to get to my destination to get to my child to get to this loved one of mine no because you're desperate to get there aren't you so you'd throw the keys away and you'd run if you had to go to the next stoplight and carjack a crate say listen drive me to the hospital I have to get to my child the person said no would you stop at the first objection would you say well yeah I don't know exactly what word you say no you don't understand you're taking me there and if they hesitate if you had to carjack the dadgum car you'd carjack it wouldn't you when you got there and when you got to the hospital if they tried to stop you again and said no no you got to sign in and fill out all this paperwork you got to do it perfect you say no that's my child I've got to get to them wouldn't you whatever it took you'd get to that loved one of yours nothing would stop you all of the silly things that happen that we let slow us down is related to our lack of hunger and desperation and so I'm here to ask you how desperate are you for what you want like here's what I think I think most people would just like their goals they'd like their outcome but they're not hungry for them they're not starving for it they're not desperate for it but when you start to feel that desperation it's one of those powerful emotions in the world because you become so resourceful you become so determined and all the noise goes away see all of these objections all of these fears all of these old stories you tell yourself all the excuses that you're making and I love you so I'm saying this to you are all going back to a lack of real hunger real desire real desperation because real desperation is beautiful the most alive you'll ever feel ironically is when you're the most desperate you talked to people who the closest to death and an accident and they'll tell you ironically it was the most alive I've ever felt because you're so desperate to survive you're so desperate to get through it yet in life we try to avoid this all the time and I'm here tell you embrace the desperation seek the desperation so if you ask me what do I look for in someone I'm coaching in an athlete and a business person show me somebody hungry I'll take hunger and desire over IQ over knowledge over skills every day of the week because I can teach you skills I can teach you the lessons I can teach you the words but I can't give you heart I can't give you hunger I can't give you desire I can't give you the courage to be desperate because desperate people look a little funny that's where people don't fit in desperate people stand out you see someone desperate you're like whoa what's going on with them desperate people get criticism and most people would rather not stand out they not rather not leave the crowd they'd rather not take the criticism they'd rather not take the heat so most people say I'd love to be a millionaire I'd love to win I'd love my dream relationship I'd love the best body I could have I'd love to be happier but I don't want to look bad doing it I don't want to seem desperate I don't want to seem different I don't want to step out of the crowd and as long as you're one of those people who won't step out who won't look a little bit funny who worries more about what other people think about them then truly winning you're always gonna be held back the number one thing I want is hunger and desperation man every single time so evaluate that right now listening to this audio or watching this video what's your level of real hunger what's your level of real desperation how bad do you really want it or would you just like it do you need it like you need to breathe do you need it like you need to eat do you need it like you need to exist or do you just kind of want it because you show me to people you show me one person who's desperate and hungry you show me another one who'd like it or wants it you show me one person who's willing to look bad and get uncomfortable and color outside the lines and do whatever they got to do to get to their destination to get to their child to get to their dream and you show me another one who won't I'll take this person every day of the week maybe they don't come from the perfect background maybe they don't have all the perfect words maybe they don't have all the right relationships but they got the goodies man they got the one thing you got to have the win which is hunger and desire and somehow and I know you've heard these things before but now I want you to be self aware really how hungry are you what are you doing to feed your hunger what are you doing to feed the fact that you feel like you're starving because the more you want something the lack of it makes you more and more hungry for example if I were really hungry and I needed some food there's one thing to want it's another thing when that food's right in front of me and I'm not allowed to eat it I become hungrier so the closer you bring what you want to you increases its hunger level the more repetitious it is the more you think about it the more you bring it into your thoughts over and over and over again the hungrier you get that's why repetitive thought about what you want is so critical so evaluate that am i as hungry as I could be is am i as starving as I could be do I want it so bad I'm desperate for it do I want it like that person who has to get to their child or their loved one or what I just like it what I hope for it because as long as you're one of those people see in a fight you show me two people this is why it's so hard to repeat as a champion in the fighting game because you show me someone who's up-and-coming who's hungry for that title who's never had it before who can taste it who knows if they win that belt their whole life's gonna change they're gonna be champion of the world all the endorsements all the money all their family life all their parents lives are gonna change you show me somebody chasing that hungry for it against someone who's just trying to hold on to a title and that's why most of the time the challenger beats the champ it's hard to repeat as a champion because the hunger goes down just a little bit the greatest athletes the Kobe's the Bradys the Jordans of sports have a way of feeding their hunger all the time and increasing it what separates them isn't just their work ethic isn't just their talent although those things matter isn't just they practice more what separates them as they're just hungrier they somehow find a way is they climb up the ranks and win championship to get even hungrier for more where 99% of the athletes lose just a little bit of their edge once they get that first championship that first pro contract that first big amount of money that first world championship they just lose their hunger a little bit and then there's the elite they get hungrier it feeds the beast for some of you have you been hungry or in the past let's be honest in the past were you hungrier for that first promotion hungrier for that first goal hungrier for the first house hungrier for the first relationship hungrier for the first time you got fit and if you lost a little of that hunger well you're just not quite as desperate as you used to be and so it's feeding your desperation and the way we do that is we feed it to ourselves over and over again because it becomes something we must have we have to have it like we got to eat like we got to breathe feed the hunger feed the desperation embrace it don't try to look so pretty because this desperate state eliminates all the things that hold you back your fears your worries which you don't know what the obstacles are signs haters lack of information lack of blah blah blah it all goes away when you're hungry the second thing is focus can you get laser focused human beings can get incredibly great at anything they put their minds to Total Immersion at any topic most human beings can become great if they give themselves enough time the truth is most people overestimate what they can do in a month or a year and they dramatically underestimate what they can do in five years or ten years if you get total immersion in a business total immersion in your body total immersion in your faith you totally get laser obsessed focused at something it's incredible how great human beings are at adapting and becoming great at it one example is cancer my dad as many of you know is fighting a particular type of cancer called liposarcoma I didn't know how to spell liposarcoma three or four years ago I didn't know what existed I didn't know what it was or how it functioned I'm not an oncologist I'm not a doctor I'd never read anything about it but all of a sudden liposarcoma became pretty important to me and I consider myself now I've read hundreds of periodicals and articles and I've asked questions and talked to other doctors and you know what I know an awful lot about something I knew nothing about many years ago and I've become kind of an expert on it I've had my own conditions with my heart I know a lot about the heart I know a lot about the medications I understand inflammation in the body I've been come sort of a quasi expert on two things I knew nothing about many many years ago I knew nothing about communicating on camera or starting a podcast I'll tell you a funny story when my podcast started I was encouraged to do it by Tony Robbins and when my podcast started he said hey you got to order people say I know you're listening to the number-one business podcast in the world that didn't even exist two years ago okay I knew nothing about podcasting nothing about how this worked I did not even know what a podcast was I want you to understand something when I was first told to have a podcast I did not know what one was and so he said you got to have one of these I said what are they you know where do you get the microphones where do you get this stuff you talked to before I had this stuff on camera there's a true story because I don't know figure it out my team did it all for me I'm like okay so I Google how to start a podcast this is how I began what you're listening to right now number one in the world right now fastest growing show on earth I Google how to start a podcast in Tim Ferriss who had a successful podcast had done a podcast on how to start a podcast and so I listened to his podcast at the end of it there was notes and he said if you click on this link it takes you to Amazon there's a kit there with the microphones and the recording device and all the stuff you do to start a podcast I thought okay so this started by me googling how to start a podcast Tim Ferriss and a kit I listened to the show I bought the kit I got back and I said Tony I said so now what do I do he goes I don't know set the mics up and just start talking about something and I'm like all right so I do like a thirty minute audio I set the mics up I got all the equipment Tim Ferriss said you should have and I'm done and I call him back and I said hey brother I did the podcast how do I get what I said out of the machine and he goes I I don't know I well you got it's on the chip take the chip now here's how stupid I am I'm like chips I don't there's no chips he goes yeah there's a chip you put in the machine I go I no one said anything about chips man I don't you you know what did you eat these like he's no dummy there's a like a micro something or other he didn't know either you put it in the machine and I didn't I don't think I have one of those so I look and there's no chip so I literally talked for 30 minutes into a microphone that never even recorded anything so then I go get the chip I put the chip in the machine I do the 30 minutes again and then I call like okay it's on the chip how do you get the chip into the universe where people hear what you're saying okay like I didn't know this big goes because I don't know I think you stick it in your computer so I'm on the phone I stick the chip in my computer this is the number one show in the world now I stick the chip in the computer I go Kay it's in the computer what button do I hit so people in the world can hear it out of my computer I'm not kidding you because I have no idea man I don't know how this stuff works so finally I figure out oh you got to download the chip onto your computer and then it goes to a thing called libsyn and I knew none of this stuff the first podcast I did never got recorded I googled how to do it the chips out of my computer for two months because I couldn't figure out how to get it out of my computer into the Internet okay that's how my podcast started but I've become laser-focused about podcasting I'm like oh then people said you should record it and put it on YouTube as well so I've learned where do you get the cameras how do they do it how do they post it on YouTube what are you type I knew none of this stuff my first Instagram video literally true story I do a 30 minute video my son's the kind of the Guru I do the the 1 minute story rather I post it I got 3 views the next day and one like and I call up this is what I hear I call up Tony and I go hey no one listened to my Instagram video he goes well you posted it at one o'clock man you need to post around breakfast time and this is what I hear him say I don't know anything about this stuff true story swear to you he goes you've got a post around breakfast time and dummy you got no hashbrowns on your post and I'm like trying to not pretend I don't know anything so I'm going what why do you I got a post at breakfast time and for why does it need to be hashbrowns this makes no sense to me so now I'm mad but I pretend to know what he's saying and I call my size hey you said you knew about this stuff you're 15 years old your internet savvy don't you know all the videos have to be posted at breakfast times and you got to have hash browns in the video my son is like dad why would it matter what food is in your video I don't know but he's telling me it has to be breakfast time with hash browns we went the whole day my first post lamenting the fact that I had no hash browns in my video turns out he was saying hash tags but I didn't even know what a hash tag was two years ago and so finally we figured out the hashtags how to post how to do a podcast and it leads us to where you and I are here today that's because I've been focused and obsessed in this field now for the better part of a year and a half to two years so not only do I figure out how to get into the internet not did I figure out it doesn't matter what breakfast foods are in my posts that it was hashtags not only did I understand how what chips were you don't even know what kind of chips I think he was talking after the hash browns you don't even want to know but suffice it to say I figured out what type of chips a year and a half later for my podcast now and I like him to do more downloads than Tim Ferriss does after and he does a great podcast but after learning about his kit and googling how to do it to think that it's come this far is mind-blowing because human beings that get obsessed and immersed in any topic to become great at it and so can you so pick what you want and get laser-focused begin to eliminate all the distractions you are not hungry enough you are not starving enough and you are not focused enough I say this to you as a friend what are the things that are stealing your focus who are the people that are stealing your focus and begin to eliminate these distractions get laser focus and obsessed on what you want be starving and hungry to get it be desperate to get it the combination of desperation and hunger with laser focus over an extended period of time is the formula to be great at something and you can apply this formula get laser focused eliminate distractions eliminate the things that steal your laser focused on it your research on it your obsession on it begin to these things and you will begin to change your entire life yes I want your mindset better yeah I want your identity higher no question it's important to have great associations in your life but Dad got it you've got to get hungry and you've got to get focused and I know they sound like basic things but go to any area of your life you want something right now pick the number-one thing you want to change body money business relationship faith I don't care what it is pick it right now one to ten how hungry are you how desperate are you one to ten the most desperate and hungry you could be ranked yourself number two how lazor crazy obsessed focused are you on what it is you want 1 to 10 10 being hyper psycho crazy obsessed focus nothing's in your way and to the extent you can increase your desperation and hunger and your obsessive focus will be to the extent that you can flourish because when those things convene and converge all of a sudden the collaborations the people the circumstances the breakthroughs the insights necessary begin to reveal themselves to you and not only that reveal themselves to you with momentum and speed at which you cannot believe you can wake up a year and a half later be number one in the world that's something that you didn't even know existed before I'm a testimony to that and you can be as well your success is going to be predicated more than anything on your hunger and desperation level and your ability to get laser focus and eliminate the distractions in your life this is what makes us great I think of athletes that I know I've watched them get obsessed and hungry early in their careers and as they make a little bit of money they start you know there are a rapper now now they're an actor now they're a producer now they're a businessperson and they're basketball or football or baseball or boxing or UFC career begins to suffer as their focus gets diminished as their obsession gets diminished as their immersion gets diminished the great ones never lose that they never lose the hunger they only increase it over time I always try to lay out for you what the solutions are and then I like to give you a plan I want to give you a four-step plan to both increase your hunger and increase your focus at the same time so the first step is always to evaluate where you are currently so give yourself an evaluation as I've asked you 1 to 10 how would you rank your hunger and desire level are you all the way desperate are you the most desperate you possibly could be because again I promise you this is a healthy form of desperation ok so 1 to 10 evaluate where you are and then also give yourself an evaluation of where you are in your laser obsessive focused 1 being completely unfocused distracted constantly even forgetting what our goals are 5 is we're on it from time to time we keep some notes we evaluate 10 is just obsessed crazy nothing else matters focus if you're not at least at a level 8 or 9 you're not optimizing your effectiveness level at both of those areas number 2 you must become more intentional to change those things so it's just starting out everything in life comes from intention you must intend to increase these things so I want you to become incredibly intentional at feeding your hunger level bringing the goal closer to you repeating it over and over makes you starving for it and the more you can increase that state the more you stay focused ironically there's a connection between hunger and desperation and focus they're related so be intentional about them the story I gave you about if God forbid a loved one or a child of yours within an accident can you imagine how focused you immediately become when something becomes that important to you that desperate to you what happens is everything else all the distractions of what other people think about us any other circumstances what we don't know what we don't have anything scarce to us goes away because we're so desperate it increases our focus if you think about anything you've had that becomes desperate to you if there was a burglar in your home for example and you were desperate think about the millions of things you're no longer thinking about and how focused you are in on that one thing we've all had that time when we're laying in bed at night and we think we hear a noise right you become so focused you hear every little creak in the ceiling don't you every little movement of the floor you near your sheets Moo oh my gosh there it is again you become hyper aware and hyper focused when you increase so become intentional as step 2/3 what is your plan what is your strategy to increase your hunger level and to increase your focus level so part of that plan might be I need to be around people more immediately who can hold me accountable and repeat back to me what I've told them my outcomes are I need to put myself in situations where I'm accountable where I'm a part of a group where I have to report my results to them perhaps is going public if it's your body and going public with this is my intention the next 30 days this is what I'm going to do putting additional pressure on yourself perhaps it's shrinking the time frame down look sooner we must do something the more desperate it becomes in other words if something has to be done within 10 years how desperate is that but if has to become sooner and sooner and sooner or even if it just has to be a real date put on it gives us some desperation knowing that date is coming sometime soon so what is your plan and strategy to increase your desperation increase your hunger level and then focus what's your plan to increase focus oftentimes that could be a plan to eliminate distractions what's your strategy to eliminate distractions might be I watch too much television at night and it distracts me from my goal perhaps you should remove that television from the room that's a plan and a strategy to eliminate the distraction perhaps it's your being on the internet too long or playing video games maybe you need to eliminate them perhaps in your nutrition you're trying to get fit the distraction our snacks that you have in your home or alcohol maybe they need to be removed from your home what is your strategy and plan to eliminate distractions and increase focus because without the evaluation without the intention and without the plan and strategy an actual plan to increase desperation an actual plan and strategy get creative get resourceful it's only with a plan that you can begin to make changes and a strategy otherwise it's just a thought and then fourth what immediate massive action are you going to take right now I'm talking about right when this audio or video ends what's the immediate first massive action you're going to take towards that plan the first step the first thing it's unplug the TV it's removed the video game it's throw out the junk food it's remove a certain person from your life I don't know what it is but what is the immediate massive action because if we can evaluate where we are and get very clear because we can't know where we're going if we're not very clear about where we are in other words if life is like a GPS and we want to get to a particular destination the only way we can get clear on getting there is to understand and evaluate and be specific about where we currently are that way we can build the directions there's no sense of direction not just with where you're going where are you you must know both places evaluate what you want and be very honest and evaluate where you are now the directions can be drawn out so we must evaluate number one number two we must make it our intention to do so we must get intentional get specific there's a power to intention there's a power to pointing our mind which is a weapon at these issues third is our strategy what is the exact plan we're going to take without a strategy you have no shot you must have a strength the strategy doesn't have to be perfect the strategy can evolve but there must be a game plan there must be something you're doing immediately to start towards this journey it tells our mind we're making progress it sends a message of I'm serious about this and then fourth you must take immediate massive action knowledge is not power unless it's applied and you haven't really made a decision and change anything until you've taken an action and if we delay the action to later we can have all the evaluation all the intention and a great game plan no action no momentum no progress so what's the one step the one action that you're going to take immediately towards increasing your focus and and increasing your desperation level what is the immediate action once you have those four things we now have a recipe to change and so today's message to you was to wake you up as a friend as your brother is to say listen if we're gonna get this done if you're gonna make things great happen you've got to get very clear on what you want very clear but we have got to get starving we've got to get desperate we've got to get hungry to perform at the elite level and for some of you who are already performing pretty high the reason these next goals are coming more slowly the reason that progress is slower the higher you climb is because you're less hungry you're less desperate and you've got more distractions some of you that are starting out in the very beginning of your journey towards chasing goals I'm giving you the recipe you must increase the hunger level the desperation level and you must get more focused but for some of you have already achieved that are listening to this I'm telling you I understand it I relate to it you're like that champion who's trying to repeat and although you're not satisfied with where you are and you have big goals and ambitions you must get honest amaya starving and as desperate as I was in the very beginning of my career in the very beginning of my business in the very beginning of my journey in my faith the very beginning and the journey of my fitness whatever it is because I can promise you if we drew a line back to where you made the most progress you are the most desperate and the goals start coming slower don't day as we become less and less desperate you've got to feed them and then the other thing is there was a time in your life if you were achieving at a high level whether it was getting your master's degree or graduating college or passing an exam for your business or getting to your first big promotion I can promise you if I went back and looked at you you were laser focus and all the distractions went away this is the same formula in the same recipe success leaves Clues I have a great audio she listened to called unlocking your success code it's one of the original ones I've done if you're on YouTube watching this go over to my audio platforms on iTunes or Spotify and search for unlocking your success code I talked about how the fact that you have a code to your success if you can repeat that code and apply it to all your goals and dreams you'll produce the same results in different areas and so today I want to challenge you to get very clear on what your recipe is if you've already been achieving in your life evaluate these two areas hope today helped you and again I want to remind you every Monday I released my own
