Discipline: Stupid is as Stupid Doesn’t Do.

Dan Waldschmidt — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 15:04:19 +0000

Shame on us for not trying harder.

For having dreams and goals and ambition, and then giving up.

Shame on us for knowing how to be better business people and just not putting in the time.

And this really has nothing to do with effort.

We all put in the effort most of the time.

You are probably reading this having slept less in the last few days than any other time on your life.

You are busy. You have tasks to do. You are moving around.

You are doing something.

But it’s what you’re not doing that might be pretty stupid.

You’re not disciplined.

It takes long amounts of time to do big things. You can’t do it in a day.

It takes much, much longer than that to turn big ideas into amazing opportunities.

And (except for our dreams) we understand that in general.

It makes sense that:

It took more than 156 months to build Big Ben and the London Tower…
It took more than 5,400 days to build the Great Wall of China…
It took more than 10,0o0 tries to produces a working lightbulb…

That stuff we accept.

Heck, they all happen to be pretty amazing landmarks. Because they exist the world the world is a different, better place.

And, what if what you have in your head is the landmark that the world will never see.

What then?

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Stupid is as stupid does”. It means that “being stupid” is demonstrated by your actions.

Not by what family you come from. Not by stereotypes. Not by race or gender or how much education you have.

You are stupid when you do stupid things.

So, what about all the stuff you should be doing?

Maybe stupid needs a new definition.

Maybe it’s stupid.

to not have the discipline to follow-up.
to not have the discipline to make daily progress.
to not have the discipline to ask for help.
to not have the discipline to set goals and create tasks.
to not have the discipline to hold yourself accountable.

This is a people problem.

This is a problem that we all struggle with.

But that’s not an excuse for being stupid.

Here’s a few ways to avoid that:

Belligerently schedule time each day to work on micro-tasks.
Violently remove entertainment that gets in the way.
Energetically push yourself to do more each day than you have scheduled.
Consistently take time to step back and refocus on getting to where you want to be.

Life is too short to be stupid.

Maybe there’s another way?

4 Secrets to Solving Impossible Problems.

Dan Waldschmidt — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 14:04:30 +0000

Realizing your dreams is about overcoming a series of mind-numbing obstacles.

It’s about turning problems into potential. And potential into power.

It’s about the deck being stacked against you and you leveraging your skills to bend outcomes to your will.

It’s about you wanting to win, desperately needing to win, and figuring out what no one else seems to be able to do.

It’s about you solving impossible problems with clarity and speed.

Ever hear someone make a comment like “Yep, showing up. It’s half the battle”. And suddenly you find yourself scratching your head thinking: “Isn’t it pretty much the whole battle?”

Solving impossible problems is a lot like that.

Here’s a little secret for you.

You only need to solve half the problem.

No matter how scary the problem might be, you only need to solve half of it.

Once you solve the hardest “half of the battle”, you’ve pretty much solved the whole thing.

Any one can do the easy stuff.

The talking. The planning. The hoping and dreaming.

That’s the half of the battle that the rest of the masses are really good at. That’s the half of the challenge that takes care of itself.

To do impossible things, to solve impossible problems you have to solve the scary half of the problem.

Here’s how you do that:

1. Pick the part of the problem that everyone else is pretending doesn’t exist

What’s “not there” is the stuff that you need to be focusing on.

If the crowd is denying there is a problem or pretending that everything is “OK”, you know that’s where you need to start.

If people keep saying that there’s “nothing to find” or “nothing you can do”, that’s exactly where you need to start looking. That’s the part of the battle that you need to start fighting.

2. Pick the part of the problem that scares you the most

The scary stuff is the important stuff.

The fear that drives you to run away and focus on the easy stuff is the warning sign that you should be focusing on this part of the challenge exclusively.

The reality is that if it scary for you, then it’s incredibly scary to just about anyone else.

3. Pick the part of the problem that defies logic and explanation

Just because you can’t explain it, doesn’t mean it isn’t possible. It just means you are doing something amazing.

If you need emotional labor to build it, you need to be focusing on it. Manual labor is hard, but emotional labor is ever harder. It takes guts.

When people say “you can’t do that” or “that’ll never work”, you can. In fact, you need to be working on that part of the problem right now.

4. Pick the part of the problem that poses the real problem

Stop messing around with the symptoms and get to the core of the problem.

What is the key issue? What do you really want to achieve? What do think is holding you back?

It’s easy to solve the stuff that everyone sees — the social unacceptable issues. It’s a lot harder to dig underneath all the appearances and find the essence of the challenge and solve that first. But that’s really where you need to focus your time.

That’s the real problem.

If you make “half the battle” your whole fight, you stand to do some incredible problem solving.

You’ll find yourself achieving the impossible.

And that’s what we all really want anyway…

The Value You Bring to the World.

Dan Waldschmidt — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 13:12:58 +0000

Who you are brings significant value to the world.

That’s not just a cheesy line you hear from your therapist or the motivational speaker standing on the stage.

It’s true.

And yet we forget that fact so many times.

And forgetting it ruins everything that we do.

It’s like pouring vinegar in a nice cup of morning coffee!

Your have the right mix of coffee, creamer, and sugars; and then just about the time you grab the cup and start to bring the cup up to your lips, someone just splashes a little white vinegar into your cup. You can’t even really see it. Your coffee doesn’t change color to bright blue or anything overly creepy. It looks the same. Almost smells the same.

But take a drink (I dare you).

Your perfect coffee is ruined. It’s completely worthless. All the work and skill you put into making sure that everything was perfect now needs to be thrown out.

That’s how value works.

When you don’t “feel” valued, you act like an idiot.

You may be talented and hard working and a genius at what you do. But your attitude is like that splash of vinegar. It destroys the beauty of “you” and turns you into less than what you want for yourself.

Here is how that happens:

You revert to sarcastic behavior instead of sharing how you really feel and why that feeling is important to you…
Your immediate action when confronted is to point out someone else that has the same flaw (or hopefully a worse one)…
You get upset and distracted when people don’t immediately accept the advice and help that you offer…
You become petty over language and terminology that you have created to differentiate yourself from other experts…
You stop being open-minded to the ideas and conversations that come from other people…

And what was once a beautiful and fearless adventure becomes a minefield of failure and defeat.

You start losing more and your souls feels less nurtured.

You become of no value to the world around.

Be valuable.

Share. Care. Give. Ignore your detractors. Keep your head held high. And know, that deep down, your pain and fear is driving you to run away from what could be the biggest success you will ever have. Stick it out.

That’s real value.

Stop Whining! Your Service Sucks!

Dan Waldschmidt — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:57:09 +0000

Let’s be very clear about something.

Horrible customer service is the fastest way to drive your dreams into bankruptcy.

No amount of whining, whimpering, and halfhearted excuse-making can remedy selfish behavior.

Sure — the late 1990′s brought us the age of “more selling, less service”. And that certainly sounds logical, right?

After all we are emerging from the worst buying environment in more than eight decades. It would seem that you need to “get out there” more than ever.

It’s that “Stop being an order taker and start being a whale hunter…”type of sales preaching.

Admit it. You’ve had a sales manager get “up in your business” telling you that you need more cold calls and more ways to “fill the funnel”. Right?

And… your manager if probably right.

Being proactive has never been more in style.

But chasing new customers is the slowest way to grow your business.

It takes massive amounts of time and more times than not doesn’t even work. You chase. They stay out of reach.

Somehow the easiest revenue strategy — investing in the relationships you already have — seems to be the solution that we avoid at all costs.

Think about the last time that you actually reached out to an old customer. You needed something right — more money, a referral, your invoice paid a little faster?

Anything else is just flat out annoying. It’s a waste of your time. After all you’ve closed the deal already. You’re not a babysitter, cheerleader, or someone who let’s people take advantage of them. Right?

Well guess what? That plan stinks.

You need to stop whining about not winning and start serving.

When was the last time that you provided an outrageous customer experience?

Not answered a question or returned a phone call within 24 hours. That’s all considered the bare minimum.

When did you make your customer feel so special and cared for that they became ravenous fans?

Instead we tell ourselves that chasing the next big deal is the right direction.

Maybe it’s because we’re too embarrassed to admit that we just don’t care enough to be the high performer that we pretend to be.

Maybe fixing our service was the answer all along.

Why Distraction is Your Biggest Enemy.

Dan Waldschmidt — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:52:25 +0000

Nothing will bankrupt your dreams for the future faster than distraction.

Not lack of experience. Not bad luck. Not even the worst economic disaster in 80 years.

It’s you being distracted and it’s guaranteed to rob you of everything you ever wanted for yourself.

Take being a business owner for example. I hate to tell you, but the odds aren’t good to start with.

According to the best estimates, only one third of all businesses will ever make a profit. Another third barely break even. And the rest never even get close. According to a study by the U.S. Small Business Association only two thirds of businesses make it past the first two years and fewer than half make it to four.

It’s highly likely that even with the best degree, a hot product, and a massive opportunity market that your business dreams just won’t turn out to be the huge success that you imagine them to be.

Yes. It’s hard to think about. Frankly, it’s a little intimidating.

But here’s what’s exciting.

On top of all the facts and figures and premonitions of doom, you’ve figured out your single biggest enemy. And it’s something you hadn’t even considered before.

It’s s you being distracted.

And if you can solve your biggest problem, your odds for success just got a whole lot better.

So let’s talk about it. Here are a two reasons why distraction is your biggest enemy:

1. You can easily overlook the danger until it’s too late.

Activity doesn’t equal progress. A lot of effort doesn’t mean that at the end of the day you’ve done anything other than run frantically in circles. Distraction only amplifies that.

When you are really, really busy, it’s easy to imagine that everything you are doing will “somehow” make you successful.

It’s like you putting in massive effort is the magic fairy dust of karmic destiny creation. And that’s just silly. (And a little sad)

Doing things that don’t matter gets you the exact same results — results that doesn’t really matter.

And we do this in a lot of ways:

We talk about version three when the first prototype hasn’t even rolled off the assembly line yet. Focus on getting something produced. We talk about customer service and client retention philosophy when we haven’t even sold the first product. Focus on finding customers. We talk about company culture and corporate legacy without trying to improve our own attitudes and intentions. Focus on being a better you before demanding it of anyone else.

It’s easy to overlook the danger of distraction until the day the CFO walks into your office with that look and quiet pause as he hands you a spreadsheet with a bunch of red columns. You’re dead meat and it’s too late to fix it.

Distraction killed your dream.

2. You can always (seem to) justify your actions.

Just because you can argue your way around an explanation doesn’t mean that you are right. It doesn’t mean that winning the debate justifies you doing the wrong things. And frankly, since we are on the subject, don’t buy into the notion that being that guy that never gets proven wrong gets you anywhere closer to your goal of outrageous success.

That’s a massive distraction all by itself.

If you need to justify your actions, you might not be doing the right thing in the first place. It’s a huge warning sign.

You have to be brutally honest with yourself. Too much cake is just as bad as not enough vitamins. Both together make an bigger mess. And you trying to justify your way around distracting bad habits and guilt pleasures only makes you ever less likely to realize your dreams.

You can argue away your distractions. And for a moment you may even convince yourself that your actions are helping. But really you’re just leaving yourself less prepared than ever to actually realize your dreams coming true.

So don’t be distracted.

Apply a relentless focus on the key issues that get you to the future you want for yourself.

Get serious about it. Be prepared for your biggest enemy ahead of time.

Depression, Dreams, and Destiny.

Dan Waldschmidt — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:06:35 +0000

Ever feel like one of these plastic figurines you beat down at the Mack-A-Mole game at Chuck E Cheese? Ever feel like the “game” is you getting your head beat in by everyone around you?

Like life is rigged to keep you down. Like there’s a plan to keep you away from your dreams

Let’s have an edgy conversation about that.

If you haven’t felt that way yet (like you get smacked around no matter what you do), hold on to this article because chances are you are headed to a collision with reality.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, right now more than 33 million Americans are depressed.

Not just discouraged, frustrated, or struggling with setbacks. Clinically depressed…

It’s a Serious Situation.

Psychologists tell us that 1 out of 3 women are depressed at any one time. That it’s about 1 out of 5 for men.

More then 80% of depressed people never get help — at all, ever. And it’s no wonder — 54% of people asked, considered depression a personal weakness rather than a medical condition.

All-in-all, more than a million people (about 15% of depressed people) will take their own life this year. And what’s staggering — as many as 50 million people will make an unsuccessful attempt at doing so.

It’s estimated that by 2020, depression will be the second largest killer after heart disease — more than cancer, AIDS, and diabetes combined.

So What To Do.

Get help!

It’s that simple. You are fighting for your future. For your dreams.

Find opportunities to help others – Kindness mends wounds. Yours and the person you are helping. Go looking to encourage someone else and you will find your soul nurtured.
Surround yourself with positive people — Put yourself in a place where you can be inspired. Stop carrying the team and surround yourself with people you raise you up.
Get medical help – Invest in a psychologist, psychiatrist, or therapist. You can’t fix yourself. You didn’t break yourself in the first place, so you don’t know how to put all the pieces back in place. Get a pro on your team.

Your senses tell you to wallow in pity and sulk and pout. Like hypothermia, your body and instincts go numb. You have to take action.

The “Edgy” Truth.

We all get depressed at times. Don’t deny it. You’ve been there. So have I.

Your dream needs you. You future needs you.

Are you willing to fight another time?

“The choice to persevere in spite of overwhelming obstacles is the single biggest factor in achieving success…”

Stupid People. How to deal with them.

Dan Waldschmidt — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 13:02:00 +0000

You can’t live life without running into stupid people. And not just running into these people– them purposefully running unto you.

It’s the single biggest demotivating force on the face of the earth.

There is NOTHING more crippling than an awkward, unanticipated encounter with a stupid person. In seconds, a stupid person can strip you of decades of dream hunting — leaving you confused, shaken, and emotionally spent.

Whatever you do. Whatever you aspire to be. Wherever you want to be someday. You need to master the art of dealing with stupid people.

Get good at spotting them.

“Stupid people are like suicide bombers. There’s no good excuse to hang around them.”

They come in all shapes, colors, and religions. And they are all around you. Could be your boss, your minister, your spouse, or that dude in your car pool.

There aren’t wearing “I’m here to wreck your dream” stickers. They come disguised, so it can hard to spot them. Until they open up their mouth and talk to you. And then it becomes pretty clear that they are a stupid person.

Here’s what they say:

That’ll never work…
Bless your heart…
I am only saying this because I care…
Yes, BUT….
Be reasonable…
I’ve seen this before…
You stole my idea…
We’ll see how long that lasts…

Sound familiar?

That’s because these phrases are the patented trade secrets of the League of Stupid People. The uninspired whining of the “has been” champions of mediocrity.

And yet like a blow from Thor’s hammer, these words bring us to our knees — broken, disheartened, and questioning our very core values.

There’s only one thing to do.

Get good at handling them.

You aren’t strong enough to take on the chaotic whimsy of stupid people. Mistake numero uno is over-estimating your tolerance for mental harassment. You can’t hack it. And neither can I.

We break. And the bad guys win.

But the story doesn’t end there. Because all stupid people have the same weakness. They all share the same self-destruction sequence.

Stupid people fear you not caring about their opinions…

That momentary look of panic on your face. The stammering words that trickle out of your mouth. Those angry looks you shoot from the corner of your eyes.

That fear and fright you get from their words.

That turns them on.

Inside they are doing cartwheels. Another “dream crushing” notch on their belt. A job done well.

So when you don’t care what they think. When you ignore their insecurities and nonsense. When you just continue on with living your dream. When you do that.

You win and the stupid people lose.

But it’s not even really you versus them. It’s you living your dream and them fighting to destroy dreams — no matter what they are or who has them.

“So stand up for dreams…”

For your dreams. For your friends’ dreams. For the dreams that you are still to have in the future.

Do your part to stop stupid people.

Ignore them.

And if that wasn’t clear enough, here’s another 38 seconds I have on the subject:

It's the Details that Matter.

Dan Waldschmidt — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 13:02:06 +0000

Getting the big picture figured out is pretty easy. We call that “having a dream”…

It’s the edgy details that determine our ultimate fate. Whether we “make it”.

It’s if you decide to “just send the email” or take the time to reread it for the 14th time.

And it’s fatigue that stops us. We just get too tired to care any more.

We’re so busy dreaming the dream that we forget that everyone else is dreaming too.

And in a battle of dreams, everyone loses.

Why? Because the dream is the fuel, not what really matters.

Your dream is only as good as your will to obsess about the details.

It’s the edgy details that really matter.

We could say that the edgy details are the only thing that matters.

Which ones matter? All of them.

Here are a few you probably forgot about:

The words you use
The font you write with
The color of your logo
The way you describe “what you do”
How you dress to work, to church, on the weekends
The way you pay your employees… and vendors
Your email signature
The picture on your social media profile
The color of your glasses
How you look at people you disagree with
The type of shoes you wear with your suit
How you are going to respond to the 3rd rejection
Who you pick as your dream client
What you think is fun… or funny
Your sales process
What you remember from an important phone call
What you think is important in the first place
The number of pages in your business plan

It all matters. And it’s not a right or wrong answer for any of these things. They just matter.

So the next time you decide that something doesn’t really matter, take a few minutes and think about the edgy details.

They really do matter.

Be different. Invest in what really matters: the details…

Passive Aggression is Stealing your Dreams.

Dan Waldschmidt — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:02:17 +0000

Your attitude. Your behavior is stealing your dreams. Your destiny.

Think about that for a minute

“We” are the difference between our failure and everything we want for ourselves in the future…

What we want to be will likely never actually ever come to be. And all because we let passive aggression cripple us.

We might be sacrificing the outrageous future of our dreams because we can’t conquer our fears, be authentic, and take control of “us”.

You know what I’m talking about. (I know about me at least…)

We have dreams. We are passionate. And then when it matters most, we revert to cowardly, self-sabotaging behavior.

And I think it’s because we just don’t believe there is any other way.

But first things first. Let’s dig a little bit into this idea of passive aggression.

What does it look like?

It looks like some of the crazy stuff we do :

Ambiguity – angry kindness, quiet loudness, comical insults
Sulking – pouting at an outcome, decision, or activity
Playing the “Victim” – blaming everyone else (usually includes a high level of whining)
Obstruction — purposefully getting in the way so that progress or success (or failure) can not be achieved
Procrastination – delaying a decision or a deadline so that outcomes get blurry

That’s all theoretic. Right? Webster Dictionary type stuff. You might be reading this and thinking:

“Dude, that could be anybody? And are those bad traits really going to steal my destiny?”

Yes. You know it. Before we get into this, you know deep down that this stuff is crippling you.

It’s the complete opposite of passion and purpose and powerful. It’s the worst type of aggression too. It’s all self-inflicted damage.

Just because you aren’t punching a hole in the wall, throwing a dinner plate across the room, or screaming until your veins pop out in your neck, don’t think that you are a “relationship hero”. Sure, all that outward anger drama makes you look like a moron to everyone around you, but it might be better than screwing up all the “secret stuff” that only you know about.

We all want an amazing destiny, but our own survival instincts can make us weak — cripple our ability to perform at high levels.

So, what to do?

Here’s for starters. Stop saying things like:

1. “I’ll try” or “Let me see” or “Let me get back to you”.

Usually all “cop-out”. No Authenticity. You don’t want to put your neck out there and really be passionate about your own success, so you leave yourself several “outs”. You can always have an alibi for failure. When something goes wrong, you can always come back to the fact that you never “promised” to get it done.

Commit and conquer. Burn the ships. Don’t leave yourself the opportunity to fail nicely. Make it brutal for yourself if you wimp out.

2. “Whatever….”, “Sure”, or “I guess”.

Running from responsibility. Instead of saying “NO” and getting your feelings and perspectives out in the open, we use these triggers to make an awkward or uncomfortable situation go away. Instead of managing our fears, we become emotionally lazy.

Be emotionally aware. Exercise your communication skills like any other any other talent that you would work for. You are letting yourself down when you just give up on yourself, your idea, or your passion.

3. “Maybe” or “If”

Conditional blame-game, decision making. You get put on the spot with a question and you fall back to the old pattern of not wanting to be the person that needs to be the authority. And here’s what’s happening — You are betting against yourself. Your mindset is that you will likely fail so you want to have a prior statement “on the record” that the conditions for your success were not met. Thus, you were unable to be successful.

Contribute. Be extreme. Put in the effort. People will know (eventually) that you are a “doer”.

and the ultimate phrase:

4. “Yes, but…”

Pure pathetic avoidance with a splash of whine. We all hate to hear others use this. It really is the ultimate expression of worthlessness. It says, “I screwed up and now I am going to make it worse, by whining about it.”

If you have to give a “yes” or “no” answer and it demands an explanation, then try these words: “Yes, and….”. It not only sounds nicer, you might actually keep their attention long enough to hear your logic. Plus, “and” is cooperative and “but” is combative.

These are some things to start working on. (Me too…).

Just remember. You have a choice whether you will tolerate your own passive aggression or not.

It’s your dream. Your destiny.

Don’t let your bad habits steal it from your future.

Survival, Dreams, and Avoiding the Bad Stuff

Dan Waldschmidt — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 12:56:46 +0000

Who you believe you are might be the only thing that keeps your dream alive.

People who study these type of things say that 80% of surviving bad mojo comes from what’s in your head… It’s your resolve to live that makes the difference.

Your dreams are no different. The power to keep them alive is almost completely in your head. Did you know that?

Circumstances don’t make you fail. You don’t run out of money and need to get a new job.

You think you are a failure and then become one.

What you think about determines what you do. Who you become. How successful you turn out to be.

It’s not weird, twisted voodoo either.

This weekend, I picked up The Survivor’s Club by Ben Sherwood and was blown away by how very real this idea of “mind over matter” really is. Scientists have sliced this up from hundreds of different angles and the facts all point to the same conclusion.

If you can control your mind, you can overcome an obstacle and achieve outrageous success.

Survival is about not letting go of hope.

Did you know that if your spouse passes away, your risk of death within thirty days increases 53% for men and 61% for women. Young or old – the stats stay the same. The feeling of loss is crushing. It can kill you if you aren’t careful.

The same applies to your dreams. When bad things happen, you first tendency can be to imagine that your world is over. That you will never be happy, successful, or proud ever again. That you suck as a person and that you were never meant to be successful in the first place.

Ever have those thoughts? Ever wonder if you have enough skill to pull off that big deal or realize your full potential — to really capture every want and wish that you have for your future and turn it into reality?

Here’s a fact: You aren’t thinking straight. You’re a dude with a dream and you need to keep your dream alive at any costs.

Survival is about putting bad things into perspective.

Did you know that more people will likely die of stress relating to fear of the terrorism of 9/11 than those who actually perished on that day? Researchers at the University of California-Irvine discovered that people who were acutely stressed after September 11th had 53% more cardiovascular ailments over the next three years. The New York Times took these stats and made the case that if only 0.0003% consequently died from such stress-related heart problems that would be “higher than the 9/11 death toll”.

Our obsessions and insecurities are driving us to an early grave and killing our dreams. We don’t have a chance of keeping our dreams alive when we can’t even stay level-headed enough to put the world into proper perspective.

Why do we let the last 24 hours of our lives determine our capacity for the future?

We get kicked in the gut and give up because we wouldn’t have been successful anyway.

What? Are you kidding yourself? Did you preposterously think that you would have a dream and the world would embrace you with open arms? There are 7 billions dreams that no one cares about. Why should the world care about yours and support you? Who determined that you get the red carpet treatment?

Your dreams is yours. It’s survival is your mission. It is your calling.

Survival demands that you use every second wisely.

According to the National Transportation and Safety Board, you have 90 seconds from when your plane crashes to when the plane explodes. You have time — more than you think. But every second matters. You can’t waste time as the plane is filling with smoke to look around for your carry-on luggage or that new iPod that you somehow lost in the crash — you have to get out.

Now here’s where the illustration gets more interesting. You can’t get out the fastest by pushing other people over and causing friction. To get out, you have to communicate clearly. You have to help others. To keep yourself alive you have to keep others alive.

Keeping your dream alive doesn’t mean that you trample everyone else’s dream. It’s actually quite the opposite. You’ll see your dream accomplished a lot faster when you go out of your way to help other realize their dreams. It’s an amazing fact about survival.

It’s a lot easier to stay alive when fewer people want you dead.

Stop alienating people who could help you. Stop pushing your way around the cosmos and start building karma to keep your dream alive.

You can’t avoid the bad stuff. It’s survival not submission. So stand up. Live. Love. Laugh.

And keep your dream alive…
