info_outlineIn this Episode:
In this episode of the Achieve Results Now podcast, Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt emphasize that while people set ambitious goals, they often "fall to the level of their habits." They introduce the concept of "TNT" – Today, Not Tomorrow – as the crucial mindset for building momentum and achieving results. The hosts acknowledge that many people struggle with procrastination and feeling unmotivated, but stress that immediate action, no matter how small, is key.
Three actionable steps to cultivate powerful habits:
1. Audit Your Anchors
The first step is to analyze your existing routines, especially the "bookends" of your day (morning and evening). These are often the most consistent parts of your day and present prime opportunities for intentional change. The hosts suggest questioning whether your current morning and evening routines are truly serving you and setting you up for success. Even small adjustments to these habitual moments can significantly impact your energy and productivity throughout the day. The goal is to identify and transform unproductive anchors into positive ones that foster motivation and a strong start.
2. Pick One Game-Changer Habit
Identify the single habit that, if consistently implemented, would have the biggest ripple effect across other areas of your life. This isn't about overhauling everything at once, but finding that one keystone habit that, once established, naturally leads to other positive changes. Examples given include starting martial arts or consistent morning walks, which often lead to increased energy and improvements in work and family life. The hosts suggest reflecting on your stress points and reverse-engineering the habit that would alleviate that stress. While these foundational habits might seem "boring," their consistent practice yields significant long-term results.
3. Upgrade by 10%
Embrace the Kaizen principle of continuous, small improvements. Instead of aiming for drastic changes, look for ways to make your existing efforts just 10% (or even 1%) better each day. For example, if you make 10 sales calls, aim for 11; if you do 10 push-ups, do 11. This incremental approach creates a powerful compound effect over time, leading to substantial progress without feeling overwhelming. The episode highlights that even if you're not adding new activities, making existing ones slightly better can yield remarkable results and foster a mindset of constant improvement.
The podcast concludes by reinforcing the "Today, Not Tomorrow" philosophy, encouraging listeners to apply these three steps immediately to build powerful habits and accelerate their journey toward their goals.
