The 10×3 tool. What’s that all about? Every single morning, build a daily habit or routine where 10 times you think about who you want to become. This is a one-sentence power phrase, right? It could be, “Today, I am creative, a fanatical learner, the most optimistic person in every room, and someone who does the things most people won’t do.” I don’t know what your one-line phrase is going to be, but the 10×3 tool, you think it 10 times and then you write it in your journal 10 times. Because writing is so
powerful, it imprints that one line in terms of your self-identity, not only on your conscious mind, but on that incredibly powerful unconscious mind, and then the final part, 10 times you speak it. Words are so powerful. Again, neurolinguistics have studied the power of words.
If you fall into the seduction of victimspeak, “I can’t, I hate, I’m sick of this. I don’t like my life. Nothing ever works for me. I’m not the kind of person who could do the things Robin is doing. I don’t love learning. I love too much TV. I am a complainer.” If you speak like that, then you think like that. And if you think like that, you feel like that. And if you feel like that you produce like that. It’s not because the world doesn’t want you to fly and be iconic. It’s because you are your own worst enemy. And victims
can’t see it because they are so seduced by the hypnosis of their victimhood. And what I am challenging you with great love and respect is today is a day. Please step out of any victimitus that you might have fallen into and step into you being the best thinker, producer, performer that you can be.
And don’t just do it for yourself and your family, do it for the world because the world will be better as you become happier, as you become more creative, as you become more energized, as you start producing the kind of results that wows all witnesses. So, you look in the mirror and you repeat this power phrase 10 times. The 10×3 tool words have such power, right? There’s the victimspeak, and then there’s the language that A-players use. It’s all about “I can”. It’s all about the language of possibility. It’s all about I am excited. And here’s an exercise I want you to do. I want you to actually write down or maybe do it right now, but I want you to write down a series of I am statements. “I am the kind of person who loves learning. I am the kind of person who understands the power of education. I am the kind of person who follows through on my commitments. I am the kind of person when I fall, I get back up. I am the kind of person who uses the right words. I am the kind of person who leaves people better than I find them. I am the kind of person who knows more about what I do because of my investments in learning, my love of learning, my surrounding myself with the right people who do things that other people can’t believe I do.” You and I are in this together. I am here with you on this ride to you becoming world-class in the core areas of your life. But ultimately, no idea works unless you’re willing to do the work. Just remember this, every professional was once an amateur. Every master was once a beginner. You just got to start. Today’s a great day to start. And a year from now, I promise you, you’ll wish you would’ve started being a game-changer today.
