I was listening to a video by a Russian thought leader. It’s really hard to call him a thought leader because he’s a bit of a thug in the way that he talks. But it just works on me. You know, like, he curses at me. And he’s like, you know what I mean? Like he was actually he was actually talking about how like how, as a life coach, how do you need to talk to different types of customers. And so, to men, you need to really put them down and tell them their bestselling postseason, you know, really like to talk down on them. And men respond to that as a challenge. While to women, if you’re a life coach, you have to say, Oh, you just you’re great. And you have to allow the world to send this stuff to you, and you’re perfect, and you don’t need to change and stuff like that. So, he kind of was very sarcastic and ironic about it. But he was actually given a good talk yesterday. And he does these on Telegram, you know, just streams from telegrams weird, about enthusiasm. And it was really interesting because he was breaking it down. And so, the meaning of the word enthusiasm comes from a Greek word, that means to be obsessed with the energy of gods, or to be obsessed by or to be possessed by a god almost possessed with positive energy and you can do anything right. And he was talking about how so, to create this enthusiasm in your life. So, you can live better, enjoy life more, etc. And the way he broke it down, he broke it down into the environment that can either create enthusiasm or take away enthusiasm, right. The other part is people, which I think is an extremely powerful concept. And not just people that you listen to like online, but rather people in your physical proximity. There’s a great book, you don’t need to actually read it to understand the premise, but it’s called the power of the who. And the other talks about how different types of people will elicit different types of versions of us. So, when you choose a spouse, when you choose a friend, when you choose a business partner, when you choose, you know people in your life in any way, professionally speaking, if you go to a job, and you by default, choose people that you work with, you know, people will make you feel a certain way. Some people will make you feel good, somebody will make it feel like crap. Some people will not inspire you; some people will inspire you. And so that’s why I still make it a practice to attend seminars and masterminds. Especially if I can go to a mastermind and be surrounded by people who make more money than me who are smarter than me who have bigger goals than me. Usually it results in contamination, so to speak of my mindset, and I sort of get it, it’s the same bug that bites me. But another thing that gives me personally a lot of enthusiasm is actually clarity of purpose. If I’ve got one clear, overarching, massive, big, hairy, audacious goal that I’m extremely clear on. I will have so much energy you wouldn’t believe I’ll be able to work day in and day out to get to eat. I’ll just be obsessed with that one goal and it will be driving me from the moment I wake up in the morning into the moment I pass out in bed.

05:03

Unfortunately, however, establishing that goal can be tricky. Oftentimes, I have to sit there and wonder for weeks sometimes for weeks, I have to ask myself, what do I want? Because it’s not always clear. But the moment you establish what your one clear, very, very, very precise goal is, and you’ve achieved that clarity of purpose. You’re, you’re unstoppable. So that creates enthusiasm for sure. The other thing that personally for me creates enthusiasm, is holding myself accountable to other people. Like, I read this question today, if somebody were to put a gun to your head, and told and told you that you’re only allowed, does your that you’re allowed to only care about one thing? What would that one thing be? Right? So, somebody puts a gun to your head and says, you’re only allowed to care, think and work towards one thing? You know, for me immediately, like the answer just popped in, I said, the physical and financial wellbeing and safety of my kids, it was for some reason, just pumped is just super clear, I didn’t have to think about it.

06:16

And so that’s obviously one of the primary drivers. So, can I create an accountability string and connect it to this one thing that I care very much about? If I can, I’ll be unstoppable. So, for example, that’s why I went to Bulgaria for two weeks, because I connect it to the wellbeing of my kids, because I feel that this will be threatened, you know, within the environment where we live right now. And so, then it doesn’t take me much effort to decide and say, Okay, we need to go to Bulgaria, we need to check it out. And we have to stay there for at least two weeks. So, we can get a feeling for the place. We need to explore the schools, we need to explore the real estate, apartments, etc., we need to talk to the locals, like immediately, my actual to-do list starts getting filled up with items. Go talk to a local, talk to a real estate agent, see 10 apartments, check three schools, identify this, identify that, right? It’s automatic, because my overarching clear goal is defined and it’s defined well, right? So, you can do it in every area in every area of your life. And so, if you like enthusiasm when it comes to your side hustle, then perhaps the first thing to identify, if I were to put a gun to your head, and tell you you’re only allowed to care, think and feel and so, process and worry about, say three things. What would those three things be? And as soon as you’ve identified what those three things are, the next question is, can you take a piece of string and connect your side hustle goal to one of the three and if you can watch what happens to your motivation.
